Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Training, Break Limit (2-in-1)
Glancing up at the sky above, the hundred-meter-long Spectral Warship swiftly flew close by, its terrifying speed far beyond the reach of a Spectral Airship.
That was the reason why John Tros was so fearless and unabashedly revealed his true self in front of Song Chi, for from the moment he successfully barricaded the latter, Song Chi was as good as dead in his eyes.
But what he didn’t know was that as soon as Song Chi’s figure submerged into the dense forest of the mountain below, he activated the Star Sea Ruin Market Rank and returned to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, already no longer within these mountains.
Half an hour later!
“This is impossible, could that kid really just vanish into thin air?”
John Tros’s face darkened to the extreme. In the past half-hour, not to mention digging three feet into the ground, with the help of the special detection equipment components aboard his flagship, he had thoroughly scanned every inch of the mountain range down to a thousand feet below, yet he never once caught sight of Song Chi.
After plummeting into the thick forest of the mountainside, it was as if Song Chi had really disappeared out of thin air.
“Could it be a warp device? No, that’s not right, the kid retracted his Spectral Airship, or was it some kind of special ship-borne component for individual instant transportation?”
…
Song Chi naturally had no knowledge of John Tros’s puzzles, but what he could be sure of was that the other party was bound to be frustrated.
Within the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Song Chi’s rapidly falling figure was caught by the Power of Laws in the Ruins Market Secret Realm, and he finally landed steadily.
“John Tros, the Tros Family, huh…”
Walking towards the special configuration slots area in the market, Song Chi muttered softly to himself.
He would naturally not let today’s incident slide so easily; from the beginning to the end, the other party never intended to let him go. If it hadn’t been for the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, if the market hadn’t just evolved the new Feature of “Spatial Anchor Point,” he would likely have fallen into enemy hands this time.
Otherwise, even if he could enter the Ruins Market, there was no guarantee that John Tros wouldn’t monitor the area of the market he entered at any moment.
Feeling fortunate while also sighing, he had obviously underestimated the value of the Void Crystal; the willingness of a Second Rank Torch Ship Captain at his peak to act in person was evidence enough of the rarity of the Void Crystal.
However, the lesson was learned. If he encountered a similar situation in the future, he would never make a move so easily again, regardless of whether he concealed his identity or not. Perhaps entrusting it to his family or asking his old man for help was the right choice, even if it meant clearly signaling to his parents that he had a secret. It was better than losing his life.
Having realized this, Song Chi made a point to remember the grudge against the Tros Family deeply in his mind.
Of course, he might bear a grudge, but Song Chi had no intention of pursuing revenge hastily; he was still too weak right now.
The Tros Family had significant influence. Although their legacy was only a bit over two hundred years old, they had already become one of the top forces in Baihe City. Within the family, just the Second Rank Torch Ship Captains that were known publicly numbered three, far beyond what someone who had just entered the First Rank could provoke.
However, for Song Chi, who now possessed the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, the last thing he feared was a war of attrition, because his resource acquisition speed was far beyond that of ordinary people, and the rate of promotion for his warships under his command was likewise.
Without further ado, he walked to the Ruins Market’s special configuration area and installed the “Abnormal Status Purifier” component he held.
Subsequently, a circle of Colorless, soft light quickly emerged from the Purifier component and slowly enveloped the entire Ruins Market space. At the same time, Song Chi turned his gaze to the Ruins Market Attributes panel.
As expected, with the activation of the Abnormal Status Purifier, the [Negative Status] category on the Ruins Market Attributes panel had indeed quietly disappeared.
With this, Song Chi finally relaxed completely, as the Demon Mark had been making him feel uneasy for the past few days. He always felt like the moment he left the Ruins Market, the Void Demons would immediately track him down, preventing him from daring to stay outside for long.
Even his participation in the Tianhe Auction felt like walking on a tightrope.
Now that he had completely eliminated the Demon Mark, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Having dealt with the Demon Mark and not in a rush to leave, he looked contemplatively at the Abnormal Status Purifier in the special configuration slot.
He pondered whether to keep the Abnormal Status Purifier within the Ruins Market or to install it on Cang Qiong.
After a brief consideration and weighing the pros and cons, he took the Abnormal Status Purifier out of the configuration slot, eventually deciding that installing it on Cang Qiong was the better option.
According to him, the Ruins Market being targeted by a Demon Mark was purely accidental. If it had not been for the intense light emitted by the market’s Advancement, it would not have attracted the Void Demon.
In the future, all he needed to do was to acquire a special configuration that could conceal the glow before the next Advancement of the Ruins Market to easily resolve this issue, there was no need to keep the blue component that was the Abnormal Status Purifier permanently equipped within the Ruins Market.
To the contrary, Cang Qiong was destined for frequent exploration in the Alien Star Domain, inevitably dealing with all sorts of Alien Race civilizations.
Conflicts in this regard were unavoidable, and the blue Purifier component capable of cleansing various negative statuses such as slowing, binding, and corrosion of the ship’s body would undoubtedly prove to be very useful.
Therefore, it was clear that the cost-effectiveness of equipping this component was much higher on Cang Qiong.
