"That's great! Little Ye, I didn't expect you to actually make it, it's amazing! "Master Xiao caressed the full-skeleton Raven engine, full of praise, his expression excited! Beside him were a few other Masters, who had been dragged here by Master Xiao! They were also like children who had gotten their favorite toy, surrounding the world's first all-bone engine and marveling at it.
Mu Fei wore a faint, gentle smile on his face as he watched the group of old men dancing in excitement. He had witnessed the birth of this full-skeleton mech with his own eyes, but the excitement of these masters had clearly exceeded his expectations. It seemed that he would have to reevaluate the value of this engine. A glint flashed across his calm eyes.
Of course, Ye Chong passed the Level 4 Trial without any suspense!
Ye Chong had been watching Mu Fei in secret, and the slight change in Mu Fei's expression did not escape Ye Chong's notice. "Hmph, you want to fool me? Not so easy!" Ye Chong laughed coldly inside!
"Mr. Ye, please walk this way!" Mu Fei gestured politely.
Ye Chong looked at the starship before him, and took a deep breath. Finally, it was time to leave the Orbits! For a moment, he could not help but feel emotional!
From the full-skeleton engine in the Level 4 Trial, Ye Chong had already guessed that the Level 5 Trial would be a full-skeleton mech. Fortunately, he was familiar with the process. However, Ye Chong was only building a Raven, and he did not want to let the Sanctuary take advantage of it. However, even if it was just a Raven, a beginner mech like this, the full-skeleton Raven's performance was enough to impress all the Masters. Of course, this was also thanks to the full-skeleton Raven engine that Ye Chong had built not long ago.
As Ye Chong expected, the full-skeleton Raven was taken by the Sanctuary once it was completed.
The news that an applicant had passed the Level 5 Trial this year spread like wildfire throughout Nine Gates City! For the residents of Nine Gates City, their greatest wish was to leave the Orbits and return to the Five Galaxies. In recent years, no one had passed the fifth level assessment, but this year, for the first time ever, someone had passed the fifth level assessment. This made the people living in Nine Gates City, who had been gradually numb to it, suddenly see hope in their originally silent hearts!
Very quickly, the news about this applicant spread throughout the entire Nine Gates City. He was so young, but he had unparalleled talent! At the same time, he was also a mysterious Bone Carver. The disturbance caused by the bone accessories a few days ago was caused by him. Not only that, it was said that he was also an expert in alchemy.
Heavens, is this guy even human? Everyone was amazed!
Ye Chong, who was always on guard against Mu Fei, did not know that the news of him passing the Level 5 Trial had already spread throughout the Orbits, and the occupation of skeleton carvers had also entered the public eye for the first time.
Ye Chong was more concerned about his own situation. Both he and Shang analyzed that even if the Sanctuary wanted to keep him here, they would not do it here. If they were to forcefully keep him here, then no one would dare to participate in the Trials anymore.
Whatever the Sect had planned, it was very likely that they would act on Ye Chong's way out of the Orbits. However, hehe …
Unexpectedly, Ye Chong saw Mu Fei, who had been serving as his guide for the past few days.
"Aren't you done with your job?" Ye Chong pretended to be surprised.
"Yes, it's done!" Mu Fei smiled warmly. "However, the Sanctuary considered that I'm more familiar with your life, and sent me to take care of you! It's my pleasure to serve you! "
"Oh!" Ye Chong nodded, feigning indifference.
The Sanctuary had spent a lot of resources to escort him. Four standard combat squads. With such a strong combat force, it was more than enough to protect him. However, at the same time, it would not be a problem for them to control him. That must be what they were thinking!
Ye Chong observed everything coldly from the side.
Mu Fei seemed to be of high status. Ye Chong noticed that all the mech pilots bowed respectfully to Mu Fei. What Ye Chong was more concerned about was the sincere respect they showed to Mu Fei! Ye Chong knew that this kind of respect would only be shown to the strong! Mu Fei's words carried a lot of weight here, and even the captain of this starship would consider his words.
It seemed that Mu Fei was no ordinary person!
The starship flew steadily. Along the way, Ye Chong would occasionally receive greetings from the Masters in the Sanctuary. Whenever this happened, the captain would give a detailed report of the starship's current location to the Masters.
Within the Orbits, the starship did not encounter any checks, and the journey was surprisingly smooth.
Soon, the starship, Glinton, left the Orbits. Its destination was Macken, a planet relatively close to the Orbits. According to them, Ye Chong would transfer to a long-distance interstellar passenger ship here, and go wherever he wanted.
Ye Chong left Macken, and arrived at a place he thought safe. He used a special communicator given by the Masters to contact the Masters, to confirm that he had truly left the Orbits. It seemed that the Masters were also worried about the Sanctuary.
He was afraid that the Sanctuary would only act after he had spoken to the Masters.
Macken was a transit station, with many long-distance interstellar passenger ships heading to other planets. It was also an important cargo distribution center. They would reach Macken in about three days' time. Ever since they left the Orbits, Ye Chong could clearly sense that everyone on Glinton, except for himself, was on high alert. It was clear that the Sanctuary did not have much control over this area!
Was it because of the Sanctuary's lack of control? Or was there a deeper reason? Ye Chong speculated.
Every day, Ye Chong lived a leisurely life. Mu Fei did not follow him around like he did during the Trials, and Ye Chong had enough time to think about his own problems. Fortunately, Ye Chong had too many problems to think about. No matter which subject it was, it would take him a long time to think about it!
In the captain's cabin on Glinton, a giant holographic screen in the center showed the starry sky outside. Without the interference of the atmosphere, the stars shone like gems, embedded in the endless darkness. The colorful nebula was like a gauze draped over the creamy skin of a noble lady, hazy and elegant.
Mu Fei was unmoved by the beautiful scene before him. He opened his eyes slightly, and saw that the target of his surveillance was still in a daze. He closed his eyes again, and was about to meditate.
Suddenly, a slightly panicked voice broke the silence in the captain's cabin!
"Captain! Something's wrong! "
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the captain's cabin was attracted by the voice. Mu Fei opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes glowed brightly, and Ye Chong, who had been watching him, was secretly shocked. However, Mu Fei quickly realized that he had lost his composure, and his eyes returned to their usual calmness. The change happened so quickly that if Ye Chong did not have absolute confidence in his eyesight, he would have thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Speak!" The captain's expression was calm, without a trace of panic. He was a man of excellent mental fortitude and rich experience. The captain of Glinton looked very serious, with a straight face. Only when he was talking to Mu Fei would his expression soften a little. His chiseled face was masculine, and his movements were swift and decisive.
Mu Fei's attention was also drawn to the crew member who noticed the anomaly, and did not notice the fleeting cold smile on Ye Chong's lips!
"Unknown starship detected 26 degrees from the radius vector!" The crew member reported quickly, succinctly.
"Unknown starship?" The captain frowned slightly.
"Yes, our holographic scanning is unable to detect it effectively!"
A look of surprise flashed across the captain's face as he looked at Mu Fei. Mu Fei nodded slightly. Ye Chong saw everything clearly from the side. Mu Fei was no ordinary man after all!
The captain immediately switched on the comms on his seat and ordered decisively, "Slow down to Mach 4. All combatants, get ready! Non-combatants, please enter the protection room! "
In that instant, a shrill alarm sounded, so sharp that it was frightening. Everyone in the other cabins paused for a moment, and then hurried to their respective positions. Everyone on the starship began to work frantically. Of course, Ye Chong was not one of them.
It was obvious that the other party had slowed down as well, but had no intention of avoiding them, and was slowly approaching.
Mu Fei seemed to be muttering to himself, "Our ship cannot detect them effectively, so it must be the starships of Black Cove or the MPA. I wonder who it will be this time?"
Hearing Mu Fei, the captain's frown deepened, and he asked Mu Fei inquiringly, "Sir, what do you think …"
Mu Fei smiled. His usual gentle smile was now filled with great confidence. Even Ye Chong felt that his usually feminine face was now somewhat masculine.
"Let's fight!" Mu Fei's words were unquestionable.
As if influenced by Mu Fei, the crew members in the captain's cabin grew excited! That was right, what was there to be afraid of? So what if the other party was the MPA or Black Cove? Four standard combat squads would be enough to defeat the enemy! Besides, Sir Mu Fei was here!
Even though both ships slowed down in unison, they were still getting closer.
As they got closer, the holographic scanning began to take effect. On the holographic screen, the other party's starship grew larger and clearer.
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared unblinkingly at the other party's starship on the holographic screen.
The body of the starship was as black as the night, without a hint of metallic luster. It glided soundlessly through the darkness of space like a ghost.
Mu Fei's eyes did not blink. The leaf-shaped symbol at the front of the other party's starship became clearer and clearer to him!
Mu Fei heaved a sigh of relief. "It's alright, it's Black Cove's!" As soon as he finished, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They were most worried about the MPA's starship. The MPA had just had a conflict with the Sanctuary not long ago, and if they encountered the MPA's starship, they would probably draw their swords!
The Sanctuary and Black Cove had always maintained a certain level of restraint, and were even friendly most of the time.
The long leaf-shaped symbol was like a slightly narrowed eye, staring at them emotionlessly.
