Other people might not know, but Shangguan Ce knew everything about his old brother Ren Xingbei.
Ning Feng, captain of Tide Berserker, was one of the youngest captains of crystal warships in the Union Army. He was only 37 years old and a Building Foundation Stage Cultivator. However, he was a strong 'Warship Connoisseur'. His capability was not to be underestimated.
Warship Connoisseur was a very special profession among admin-type Cultivators. They boasted immense soul power as well as remarkable calculation, analysis, and coordination abilities.
When they entered the command cabin of a crystal warship, their telepathic thoughts would flow into the mainframe crystal processor. With the enhancement of the mainframe crystal processor, they would be able to spread their will to every corner of the entire warship, allowing the iron behemoths hundreds of meters long to operate as if they were their own arms.
The combat ability of a crystal warship, whether it was piloted by a Warship Connoisseur or not, was vastly different.
A strong Warship Connoisseur could even manipulate hundreds of crystal cannons and thousands of power rune arrays on a crystal warship at the same time to perform the most perfect attack and maneuver. The warship seemed to be part of their body. The most complicated movement was as simple as blinking an eye for them.
During the rise of the Star Ocean Imperium, countless strong Warship Connoisseurs emerged among the Cultivators.
It was said that the strongest Warship Connoisseurs who had reached the peak of their Cultivation could even control a star fortress larger than a satellite on their own. They could make thousands of cannons roar at the same time to compete with the king of demons.
Of course, the Warship Connoisseurs of the Xing Yao Federation were no match for the legendary experts. But they were still the main force that defended the civilization of mankind in the five hundred years of bloody wars.
Take Ning Feng for example. Although he was only in the Building Foundation Stage, once he entered Tide Berserker and merged with the warship, his combat ability could even be compared to that of Jin Dan!
Three months ago, the Fifth Fleet encountered a beast tide led by two demon kings in the depths of the Grand Desolate Plateau.
Therefore, Tide Berserker led the charge in the lead.
Although it was heavily damaged, the beast tide was torn into two halves, which created a favorable opportunity for the siege and annihilation.
In the battle … Ning Feng even blasted a demon king to death with the 'Sky Splitter', the main gun of the warship. He became a celebrity in the army!
For such an ace captain to deal with four MP crystal suits, it would be a waste of time. It seemed that Ren Xingbei was also treating this battle exercise as a super confrontation between the Battleship Faction and the Crystal Suit Faction!
Sparks flashed in Shangguan Ce's eyes.
This time, the purpose of the public bidding in the form of an actual combat exercise was to show the power of the Crystal Suit to the warship faction.
If the opponent was too weak. Although the Battleship Faction did not say anything, they were definitely not convinced in their hearts, so they planted the seeds of conflict.
No one would have a problem with an ace captain like Ning Feng inspecting the quality of the Crystal Suit.
But he did not know how far the four MP crystal suits could go.
All of a sudden, the image of Li Yao's menacing smile suddenly appeared in Shangguan Ce's mind.
"I can figure out the tactics and limits of the other three Crystal Suit."
"However, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. Vulture Li Yao, where are your limits? "
…
9: 05 PM.
Cultivators from Deep Sea University, Star Nebula University, Grand Desolate War Institution, and the three sword sects slowly walked into the command center.
After learning the details of the actual combat exercise, especially when they learned that the crystal warship participating in the exercise was Tide Berserker under the command of Ning Feng, all the Cultivators' faces turned extremely gloomy.
Although they were competitors, at this moment, they had a subtle feeling that they had a common enemy.
If the four Crystal Suit were all captured by the crystal warships in several hours, it would be the last one to be captured. It would not be a winner.
The military did not disclose the specific number of Crystal Suit they would purchase. If the performance of the crystal suit was too bad, the military would only purchase a few hundred of them. It would not be a real victory, either.
On the other hand … If one of the Crystal Suits performed exceptionally well and was able to deal with the crystal warships for more than ten hours, or even a day and a night, it would prove the combat ability of the Crystal Suit and raise a Crystal Suit craze in the military. Then, the promotion of the other MP Crystal Suit models would be promoted. It would be greatly beneficial.
Especially the two Crystal Suit, Sword Torrent and Mournful Mist. In terms of design and usage, they were subtly different from those of Tiger King and Mystic Skeleton. It was like the difference between an assault rifle and a sniper rifle.
Because of their different positions, the competition between the two parties was not fierce. Although they knew that the chances of winning were slim, they would still try their best. As long as they did their best in the exercise, playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, and presenting their features vividly, it would be enough to leave a deep impression on the audience.
Only Supernova Jiang Sheng and Yuan Manqiu were still at loggerheads with each other.
However, when Ren Xingbei appeared in front of them, all the flames in their eyes changed direction at the same time and surged towards the commander of the Fifth Fleet.
The temperature in the command center was suddenly raised by twenty degrees.
Apart from the people in the command center, there were also countless military leaders in various military bases of the Xing Yao Federation.
There were also high-level Cultivators from Deep Sea University, Star Nebula University, Grand Desolate Plateau University, and the three major sword sects …
They were also paying attention to the special contest between the Crystal Suit and the crystal warship.
It was destined to be a sleepless night.
…
10: 11 PM.
Inside the station of the Fifth Fleet, Tide Berserker was making the final preparations before liftoff.
"Captain Ning, teach them a lesson. These bastards are such bullies. They want to show off above the soldiers of the warship and sh * t on our neck with just four MP Crystal Suit?"
"Brother Feng, we have absolute confidence in you. You will definitely catch all of them in ten hours at most!"
"Old Ning, I made a bet with Old Xing and the others. I bet that you'll definitely be able to catch all four of these rabbits within ten hours. If you drop the chain, I'll be in trouble!"
More than a hundred officers and men of the Fifth Fleet, including captains and vice-captains with the rank of field officers, as well as senior mechanics and warship soldiers, were all clustered around an officer in a wrinkled military uniform.
This officer's hair seemed to have not been washed for three months. His hair was a mess, his beard was unshaven, and his eyes were drowsy, as if he would never wake up. Even in such a tense situation, he still yawned one after another.
He was the commander of Tide Berserker, the ace captain of the Union Army, Colonel Ning Feng, a Warship Connoisseur!
Faced with the excited soldiers of the Fifth Fleet, Ning Feng picked his ears and smacked his lips. He didn't say anything and boarded the warship lazily.
When he stepped into the bridge, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He shuddered and woke up.
Just a moment ago, he was still drowsy, but now his eyes were bright and full of vigor, like a cat hunting in the middle of the night.
In the Union Army, Ning Feng was nicknamed 'Drunk Cat'.
Even someone as strong as a Demon King would have to flee like a rat in front of a drunken cat like him!
At the center of the bridge, there was a semi-reclining command cabin that looked like a transparent capsule. Ning Feng lay down and closed his eyes.
Crimson liquid gushed out from the bottom of the transparent capsule and rose quickly. It filled the entire capsule and drowned him.
In the next moment, Ning Feng opened his eyes abruptly. A lot of black brilliance was beaming out of his pupils, making his eyes as deep as the night sky.
His soul, enhanced by the mainframe crystal processor, extended to every corner of the entire warship.
Countless information, data, and images flooded in like a tide.
Every rune array, every Taiyi Lightning Railgun, and every armed shuttle seemed to have become his limbs and claws. The humming of the power rune arrays was completely integrated with his heartbeat and breath.
He was no longer an insignificant human being. He was Tide Berserker, an iron beast hundreds of meters long!
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "
With a telepathic thought, the anti-gravity rune arrays were activated. Deafening noises that sounded like a waterfall crashing into a rock were echoing.
Tide Berserker shivered and soared into the sky in the cheers of countless soldiers. Seven-colored mystic rays surrounded the body of the warship, making it look like a raging dragon!
"Ten hours?"
Ning Feng narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart, "Five hours at most. Those four rabbits will never be able to escape from my hands!"
…
11: 45 PM.
A small transport ship was flying unsteadily between the mountains and lofty ridges.
Lightning was flashing and thunder was rumbling in the sky. Heavy rain was pouring down. It was so dark that one couldn't see his own fingers. Only the occasional lightning illuminated the peaks of the mountains and the dark forests.
This was the largest mountainous area in the west of the Federation. Mountains, cliffs, rivers, caves, and underground rivers were everywhere. The terrain was quite complicated.
A hundred square kilometers around was the area where the real battle drill would take place.
To ensure the fairness of the drill, the military had arranged a man-made thunderstorm in the sky above the drill area.
Thunderstorm, lightning, and heavy rain could distort spiritual waves to the maximum extent and limit the performance of the crystal warship so that the four Crystal Suit could escape.
However, the thunderstorm would only last for five hours.
Before dawn, the rain would pass and the sky would clear up.
Inside the carrier, the four Cultivators had put on the Crystal Suit. A two-meter-square equipment box was floating behind them.
The equipment box was a piece of magical equipment for transportation and storage developed by the military named 'Floating Supply Box'.
Anti-gravity rune arrays and power rune arrays had been carved on it. It was controlled by a mini crystal processor. When it flew behind the soldiers, it would automatically bounce off and fly to a safe distance in case of a battle.
The Floating Supply Box could replace the backpacks of the soldiers. It would neither consume the stamina of the soldiers nor affect their agility during a battle. It was a piece of standard magical equipment that the military would produce on a large scale in the future.
Today, the prototype would be given to the four Cultivators so that they could carry any MP magical equipment and supplies.
"Huala!"
At 11: 59 p.m., the airdrop platform below the carrier was slowly opened. Furious wind immediately started raging inside the cabin. Screams and howls were echoing in the cabin.
"Last minute, prepare for the airborne attack!"
