Qin Guan looked at Ye Yu and chuckled, "I didn't expect to break through, but you're not the only one who can enhance your combat power!" Without waiting for Ye Yu to respond, Qin Guan's figure vanished once again.
At the same time, another man appeared beside Long Ruofei. Who else could it be but Qin Guan? Upon seeing this scene, Ye Yu couldn't help but twitch his eye slightly. If Qin Guan had truly intended to attack him just now, he might very well have been lying on the ground.
The joy from his recent victory was now somewhat overshadowed. For a long time, Ye Yu had lived under immense pressure and was naturally very sensitive to crises. Although Qin Guan had merely made a joke moments ago, Ye Yu felt a distinct sense of unease.
This world was vast, filled with countless extraordinary individuals. According to Long Ruofei's law, many people would come to kill him. Among these individuals were certainly many who were stronger than Qin Guan, which meant he would face an extremely dangerous situation. Even with Long Ruofei representing the Dragon Family to protect him, she couldn't possibly stay by his side forever.
"Captain! With our Shadow Team's protection, even if a Seventh Stage combatant comes, they won't fare well!" At that moment, Hulk's booming voice echoed in Ye Yu's ears. Being young, all of Ye Yu's emotions were written on his face. Hulk, out of concern for his captain, noticed Ye Yu's worries and stepped forward to reassure him.
Then, Long Ruofei gently moved closer to Ye Yu, and a faint fragrance wafted into Ye Yu's nostrils.
"Captain Ye need not worry; the Silver Dragon Guard does not seek trouble but will not shy away from it either!" Long Ruofei said as she lightly patted Ye Yu's shoulder with her delicate fingers, her smile providing an inexplicable sense of reassurance.
Ye Yu looked at Hulk and Long Ruofei and said, "I'm fine; I just didn't expect to suddenly become the highest bounty on the Assassin's List. It's a bit surprising."
In the next moment, Ye Yu shifted his feet and appeared like a ghost in the command chair of the Command Hall. Like a triumphant king returning home, he turned his back to everyone and declared, "When soldiers come, we shall block them; when water comes, we shall cover it with earth. Since this has happened, I will not fear it! According to our original plan, we will head straight back to Silver Dragon Star!"
Though the others couldn't see Ye Yu's expression, they felt a surge of boldness from his words. Although he still seemed somewhat immature, given time he would surely grow. With this thought in mind, everyone nodded silently in agreement.
...
The vast universe resembled a grand painting stretching across the river of time—forever silent and instilling an uncontrollable sense of dread. Within this scene, a pitch-black spaceship suddenly appeared. The ship had just been traveling through time and space; faint energy fluctuations emanated from its thrusters, indicating it had recently transitioned from high-speed travel to cruising speed.
Suddenly, a bizarre scene unfolded. The originally dark spaceship, resembling a shuttle, began to collapse inward as if subjected to some immense force. In just a moment, it transformed into an irregular shape that looked like a meteorite, its color shifting to a deep space gray. Even upon closer inspection, it was impossible to discern that this meteorite had once been a spacecraft.
Soon after, this "meteorite" began to drift aimlessly through space. However, careful observation revealed that it was systematically altering its position. Clearly, it was mimicking the trajectory of a real meteorite, striving to achieve an indistinguishable level of deception.
Not long after, another ship suddenly appeared behind the meteorite, followed by a massive vessel emerging beneath the starry sky. These two ships were enormous, unlike typical commercial Starships. Upon closer inspection, one could faintly see the ominous Level Laser Cannons mounted on them. These two ships were unmistakably Federal Military vessels—two amphibious assault ships often deployed as the main force in border conflicts.
The two ships had descended from their maximum altitude to a standard cruising speed, and in the distance, a colossal planet could be seen suspended in the Cosmic Starry Sky.
At that moment, the seemingly aimless "meteorite" approached one of the Battleships along an unusual trajectory. Surrounding the two ships were thousands of large meteorites, and the detection System merely executed standard defensive measures, targeting only those meteorites deemed threatening with laser blasts.
The "meteorite" approached the ship at an erratic pace, and the detection System issued no warnings. Clearly, this disguised spacecraft had successfully deceived the ship's detection System into identifying it as an ordinary, non-threatening meteorite.
All of this transpired in an instant. Just as another Laser Cannon locked onto the counterfeit "meteorite," it suddenly crashed against the ship's hull like a delicate woman stumbling. Strangely enough, this meteorite did not get dislodged by the ship's movement; instead, it clung tightly to the smooth exterior of the vessel as if magnetized.
As soon as the "meteorite" adhered to the hull, countless black objects resembling spiders erupted from within it. These spiders moved in an orderly fashion toward a specific area of the ship as if directed by an unseen hand. Within mere seconds, they formed a perfect circle over ten meters in diameter!
“Boom—” At that moment when the circle composed of these strange spiders completed its formation, they all exploded simultaneously. Instantly, a massive circular mark appeared on the previously smooth hull. Due to the ship's flight path, the blown-off circular fragment shot away into the vastness of space in an instant.
“Alert! Intruder detected!”
“Alert! Intruder detected!”
At this moment, Ye Yu gazed at the approaching Silver Dragon Star, his heart filled with a calm yet intensifying emotion. Suddenly, the Command Hall erupted with urgent alarm signals; the previously well-lit chamber was engulfed in oppressive crimson light.
"Has the assassin arrived so quickly?" Ye Yu rushed to the Command Console, his hands moving swiftly across the holographic display like wheels. In just a few breaths, Ye Yu saw that outside his ship, not far from the Command Hall, there was a massive breach nearly ten meters in diameter!
