[Subscribe]_3 âSpeed at one-fifth of the speed of light, the fleet formation shows no deviation, will exit the Desolate Star System in three hours.â
âAll major ships are functioning without any anomalies, the long-distance engines are normal, and the spectrum shows no shifts.â
ââŠâ
Report after report circulated throughout all the battleship command centers.
This was a fledgling fleet, but even though it was inexperienced, it was indeed a true fleet, currently conducting highly professional operations in an orderly manner.
Jia Yan couldnât help at all, although his mind had always been sharp.
However, every once in a while, he came in contact with a more advanced civilization, so for him, there was never enough to learn.
At this moment, not causing trouble was already fortunate enough, let alone not operate anything.
âThe speed is terrifying.
So, the attack of battleships and spaceships, even though I am no longer too fearful now, still, I donât have the complete confidence to destroy any one of them.
Once their speed picks up, I wouldnât be able to catch up!â
Jia Yan lay prostrate on the ground, looking at the scenery behind him.
At this moment, his battleship was being operated by the overall control system of the entire fleet.
In a fleet formation, each ship is pivotal, so typically there is a central control vessel acting as the brain.
Kama must be very busy right now, while Jia Yan found himself with too much idle time.
âTo be honest, Iâm still not quite accustomed to battling against battleships and other technological weapons, and when I looked into the past records of the top ten Strong Ones, each had expertise in combat involving technological weapons.
If it were them facing a fleet, even without the support of battleships, they might still win the battle!â
Jia Yan considered the battleship battles he would inevitably face in the future.
It was something he had to deal with.
Previously, if the top ten Strong Ones had used the fleet as cannon fodder to attack him, it wasnât really clear who would have won since Jia Yan still didnât have a good routine for facing such weaponry.
âThis kind of thing isnât achieved overnight.
So now, regarding my weaknesses, itâs just something to ponder over, and itâs unlikely that they can be overcome all at once.
After all, my power has increased too rapidly, which makes it not so easy to fully master things that require experiential battle training.â
Jia Yan felt somewhat helpless; his weakness had always been a lack of combat experience, which could only be attributed to his insanely fast increase in power.
Each time he grew stronger, his power and experience shifted, and even the strongest individuals couldnât instantly familiarize themselves with it!
âHowever, my power has greatly increased in the Desolate Star System, thatâs for certain.
Now, not to mention the regions of the Orion Arm, even within the Desolate Star System itself, I might be invincible.
After all, the strongest among the top ten Strong Ones, Tian Wu, now seems just so-so to me!â
âOf course, this bustling region isnât just as simple as it seems.
Among the strongest Strong Ones Iâve found from the records, there are several well-known Stellar-level ones.
My power, even at the Star Space Level, might not be the most invincible anymore.
Of course, as long as I refine my existing strength and develop some good combat methods, Iâll probably be close to being unbeatably invincible at the Star Space Level.â
Having spent a long time in this starry sky, Jia Yan is no longer ignorant.
After reading some data, he understood that the truly powerful beings in this starry sky were those Stellar Strong Ones, and among the Starry Sky Strong Ones, his current power might not necessarily be a stronger one.
Now among the Starry Sky Strong Ones, merely relying on brute force wasnât enough to be truly powerful.
Without unique combat skills and experience, no matter how strong his powers, he couldnât claim to be invincible.
Just like Pai Lan before, this Strong Oneâs unique ability was to hide his body into space.
Although Jia Yan still didnât understand the principle, he knew that this Strong Oneâs skill hadnât been refined to its best.
If it really reached the ability to become completely invisible within space, what good was his strength then?
This definitely involves highly advanced combat theory.
Jia Yan couldnât expect to understand without any theoretical training.
Only with gaining more knowledge and battle experience, he might be able to break such moves.
Luckily he still had time, and he didnât foresee facing those even more terrifying Stellar Strong Ones soon, so for now, Jia Yan was methodically and progressively summarizing his strengths and weaknesses, believing that someday, heâd be able to master or develop techniques truly his own.
âLord, we have exited the range of the Desolate Star System.
Next up is a sparse area about half a light-year away.
We will accelerate to beyond light-speed there, then we can enter the Chaos Starfield.â
When Jia Yan was somewhat immersed in contemplation, Kamaâs voice came through.
âAlright, thereâs no need to contact me until we approach the Chaos Starfield.
You can make all routine decisions yourself.
Iâm going to cultivate a bit,â Jia Yan said indifferently.
But it seemed he remembered something, and a slight smile appeared: âOh yes, about your salary that I owe you, calculate how much it is and settle it yourself.
No matter the amount, just take it.â
âUh, Boss, youâre joking with me, right?
Be careful or I might get mad and not work for you anymore!
Alright, alright, I wonât disturb you anymore.
I have a request for you in the future, and if you donât refuse that will be my compensation.
Iâm out, you stay busy!â
Kama closed the communication with a string of silvery laughter.
Her laughter made Jia Yan also smile slightly.
This female had maintained a demeanor of a stern woman soldier these days, which Jia Yan wasnât quite used to.
But now it seemed her nature was still that of the old Kama, which reassured Jia Yan.
After all, a continuously solemn Kama was not the Kama he knew.
âWell, I guess half a light-year wonât take even a month to traverse.
I hope we reach the Chaos Starfield soon, not just to quickly pass through to reach the Northern Star Domain, but also because Souwu, that old fellow, is not holding up wellâŠâ
Thinking of Souwu, Jia Yan sighed regretfully, still uncertain whether the Life-Extension Stone he spoke of even existedâŠ
