However, because Lu Ye controlled the warship to avoid many attacks, the protective light curtain lasted much longer than before, and this was also thanks to the efforts of the crew.
Although the crew of the ghost ship were part of the warship, they did not slack off in the slightest when encountering the enemy and did their best, which should be good news.
If in such an environment, even his own crew couldn't work together with him, then there was no need to continue this test, it was meaningless at all.
In the sixth reincarnation, Lu Ye controlled the warship as usual and accelerated to escape into the distance. At the same time, he took out two Twin Qi Connected Array Discs from his storage ring and threw them to Qin Zong, shouting, "You guys, take this thing and summon all the crew to the deck to set up a defense, there will be a strong enemy attacking soon!"
The Twin Qi Connected Array Discs had made great contributions in the fight against the insect nest in Nine Regions and the expedition to the Blood Refining World, allowing many cultivators of Nine Regions to borrow each other's strength and easily form an array. It was a good choice to use it here.
Although the crew members were all constellations, their cultivations varied, and their spiritual energy varied. As a result, when they controlled the formation on the deck, the power displayed by the formation was different. With the help of the Identical Qi Linked Branch Formation Disk, they could cooperate better with each other.
Qin Zong shouted, "Yes!"
Immediately, he rushed to the deck with Xiao Jianming and Xu Qingwei.
Sure enough, as Haitang said, although these guys had bad intentions towards Lu Ye, they still strictly followed his orders.
Lu Ye stood alone, immersed in his mind, constantly familiarizing himself with the various controls of the warship.
Still at the same time, a warning cry sounded.
Hearing the sound, Lu Ye knew that this was probably one of the rules of the ghost ship. No matter how hard he tried to speed up before, he could not achieve the purpose of stalling for time. The place of attack would always appear in the vision of the lookout at the same time.
Soon, the battle began.
The effect this time was gratifying. Under the control of Lu Ye and the efforts of the crew, the Long Dragon Warship lasted for almost an incense stick's worth of time before it was destroyed.
Lu Ye discovered that he was quite talented in piloting a battleship, which might have something to do with his background as a weapon cultivator.
Weapon cultivators were originally good at close combat. When controlling a warship, they only needed to replace their individual bodies with the warship, which meant that the entire warship was their own body. Although it was more difficult to control, as long as they found the trick and familiarized themselves with it, they would be able to control it.
If it had been a spell cultivator, it would not have been so simple.
In addition, Lu Ye also found a piece of information that was beneficial to him. The deeper he immersed his mind and the more spiritual energy he injected, the easier it would be to control the warship.
These things couldn't be taught by others. One had to experience them deeply themselves.
Lu Ye estimated that if he could escape this dangerous situation, he should be able to easily control any Battleships or similar objects in the future.
This could also be considered as a form of training. After all, it was not a bad thing to have one more skill.
But soon, Lu Ye discovered another problem.
His own consumption was too great, and he finally understood why Specter Ship had a rule that no matter what cultivation level a cultivator entered this place, they could only display the strength of the early Constellation Realm.
Because the early Constellation Realm was the starting point of the Upper Realm, the spiritual energy reserve was also the least.
And controlling a warship consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy. With this level of consumption, a cultivator in the early Constellation Realm would probably not be able to last for more than six hours even if they used all their cultivation. Even if they could use spirit pills to recover halfway, it would not last for too long.
In particular, if one wanted to better control the Long Dragon Warship, they would need to pay more spiritual energy and accelerate the consumption of the cultivator's own spiritual energy.
In other words, once a cultivator entered this ship, they must pass the test within a few hours. Only then could they leave and obtain opportunities.
Once the time was delayed, the situation would only become more and more unfavorable, and eventually fall into a vicious cycle. At that time, they could only wait for death.
Haitang did not tell Lu Ye about this. She didn't know if it was because she was pressed for time at that time, or she felt that there was no need to say it, as Lu Ye would be able to detect it himself.
This problem was a huge difficulty for other cultivators, but for Lu Ye, it was really not a problem.
He cultivated with the help of spiritual jades, so he had to control the rhythm to achieve the best efficiency. After realizing the problem of excessive spiritual energy consumption, Lu Ye immediately stuffed a spiritual jade into his mouth and chewed it.
As for the waste of spiritual jade energy caused by doing this, it was already at this time, so there was no need to care about waste.
When he left the Nine Regions, he had about fifteen thousand spiritual jades on him. Now, the number had almost no change, because what he found along the way was basically enough to meet his daily needs for cultivation.
In the early Constellation Realm, the consumption of spiritual jades was, after all, very little.
In the seventh reincarnation, Lu Ye turned his head and saw Qin Zong and the other two standing foolishly at the side like three quails.
Seeing him look over, Xiao Jianming asked the familiar question again, "Captain, do you have any orders?"
"What about the things I gave you?"
The three of them were all at a loss. Qin Zong asked, "What things?"
Lu Ye knew that after the reincarnation, everything before had been reconstructed. The two Twin Qi Connected Branches Array Discs he gave them before must have been thrown away.
He immediately threw out two Array Discs and gave the same order as before.
After the three of them left, Lu Ye began to familiarize himself with the control of the warship again. This time, he did not waste energy to increase his speed. On the other hand, no matter how fast he increased his speed, the enemy's attack would arrive on time, so he might as well not waste energy.
He just urged his spiritual energy to pour into the ball in the control center. While controlling the warship, he familiarized himself with every array on the warship and the power of every treasure placed in the array.
The fierce battle broke out again, but rather than calling it a battle, it was better to say that they were passively taking a beating.
Although with Lu Ye's order, Qin Zong and the others also tried to counterattack while resisting the enemy's attacks on the deck, this kind of counterattack required Lu Ye's cooperation. Because Lu Ye controlled the direction and movement of the warship, if his cooperation with the crew was insufficient, it would be difficult to carry out an effective counterattack.
Qin Zong stimulated the power of the array several times, but it hit empty air because he could not aim accurately.
In such a situation, the defeat of the Long Dragon Warship was only a matter of time.
What Lu Ye needed to do was to survive as long as possible, so that he could continue to accumulate experience in controlling the warship.
The eighth time, the ninth time, the tenth time …
Unlike the other crew members, Haitang paid close attention to the changes in the warship every time, so that she could infer Lu Ye's state.
For the first few times, she had been delighted because Lu Ye was clearly improving rapidly in the process of piloting the warship, much better than her previous performance. This improvement could be felt directly, and the warship was able to last longer under the enemy's attacks.
But soon she found that something was wrong because Lu Ye had been dodging and did not counterattack.
Gradually, she sighed, knowing that if the situation continued to develop like this, no matter how much Lu Ye's skill in controlling the warship improved, it would be useless. The spiritual energy reserve of an early stage Constellation Realm cultivator was not enough to support long-term control.
Once Lu Ye's spiritual power was exhausted, the Long Dragon Battleship would become a sitting duck. It would no longer have the ability to evade. Death after death would slowly bind Lu Ye to the ghost ship, making it impossible for him to escape.
She did not believe that Lu Ye did not notice this problem, but since he had noticed it, why didn't he change it?
As time passed, she slowly realized that something was wrong. The Long Dragon Warship was still nimbly dodging, and the expected situation of Lu Ye's spiritual energy being exhausted and causing the warship to become a sitting duck did not happen.
Haitang could not understand, this Junior Brother Lu Ye's spiritual energy reserve … was so deep? This should not be something an early stage Constellation Realm cultivator should have.
But in any case, this was actually happening. If this situation could be maintained, it seemed … there was hope?
The sixteenth time!
Lu Ye could clearly feel that his connection with the Long Dragon Battleship had become very strong. Although he didn't have to worry about the consumption of spiritual energy, there was one thing that couldn't be ignored — there was a limit to his death. Once this limit was exceeded, no matter how hard he tried, it would all be in vain.
Twenty times!
This was the maximum number of deaths he could achieve. Once this number was exceeded, he would be in danger.
So there were not many opportunities left for him.
Fortunately, after death after death, his control of the Long Dragon Warship had reached a level where he could command it like an extension of his arm, and there was no longer the sense of uncoordinated and obscure control he had at the beginning.
This was normal. After all, cultivators were not mortals, especially those in the Constellation Realm. Even if they had not come into contact with certain things before, as long as they had enough time, they could quickly master it.
Controlling a warship was not too difficult. The biggest problem cultivators faced when they came here was the terrifying consumption of spiritual energy, which was the fundamental reason why many cultivators fell to the Specter Ship.
In the past, when cultivators came here, after experiencing several reincarnations, they all became aware of the problem of spiritual power reserves and inevitably had to calculate the consumption of their own spiritual power. However, this problem was not a problem for Lu Ye at all. He maintained the maximum amount of spiritual power from beginning to end.
Of course, this had nothing to do with the size of the Long Dragon Warship. After all, it was a warship suitable for more than ten people to sail together. In the starry sky, it could only be regarded as a small warship. If it was a large warship, it would not be so easy for Lu Ye to control it.
In this reincarnation, the number and frequency of the enemy's attacks on the Long Dragon Warship was obviously reduced to a limit. In this state, even if it was accidentally hit, as long as the protective array was not broken for a while, the crew could quickly make up for it and face the next attack.
In other words, if there was enough spiritual energy, the Long Dragon Warship could continue to entangle with the enemy like this until the end of time!
