Liu Feng said, “It’s simple. First, get admitted to the Inner Court. If you can’t get into the Inner Court, what’s the point of overthinking? Once you’re admitted, then you can strive harder. Mengqin doesn’t really want to discourage you; she’s also trying to motivate you. Each of us is an individual, and we are all special. Over the past two years, your progress has been evident to all, especially your mental strength and fusion with Fatty Jin. Now, you have complete control over your emotions. Don’t be fooled by Mengqin’s usual cold demeanor towards you. Whenever you were in a bloodthirsty state, she could call you back with just a word, and we could all see that she was very happy about it.”
Qian Lei nodded and said, “Mengqin is a particularly good girl. I will never forget when we were assessed, and I got swept into the sky by a hurricane and vomited in my helmet. She didn’t mind at all. From that moment on, I wholeheartedly liked her, and I won’t like anyone else again. In my life, I have two dreams. The first one is something I’ve wanted since I was little to become a wealthy person. The other one is to marry Mengqin.”
Liu Feng smiled and said, “Having aspirations is a good thing! Just work towards those goals. Good women are afraid of persistent suitors, so give it your best shot.”
Suddenly, Qian Lei lowered his voice and asked, “By the way, Frenzy, don’t you have someone you like? Among our team, Yuge and Huihui are like siblings and based on pairings, you and Yuge have a chance, you know. Although she’s a bit older than us, for us soul masters, a two-year age difference is insignificant. Don’t you have any thoughts about her?”
Liu Feng replied, “Mixing up romantic entanglements, are you trying to get beaten up by Yuge? I don’t have any thoughts about that. Before becoming a Title Douluo, I won’t consider these things. I have the poorest talent among all of us, so I can only make up for it with more effort to keep up with all of you.”
Liu Feng’s words were straightforward, but Qian Lei understood the immense effort he had put in over the years. Now Liu Feng had already broken through to the Seven Rings Soul Saint realm, and his hard work was undoubtedly the most among all of them, especially in terms of cultivation; no one was more diligent than him.
Qian Lei looked at him strangely and said, “Could it be that you don’t like girls? Yuge is so beautiful.”
A fierce light flashed in Liu Feng’s eyes, “Are you itching for a beating? Everyone has their own preferences, and yes, Yuge is beautiful, but she’s not my type.”
Qian Lei teased, “Then what’s your type? Just to be clear, we’re all brothers, so you can’t like someone like my dream girl, Mengqin.”
Liu Feng rolled his eyes, “Don’t worry. My type is entirely different from yours. You’ll find out someday.”

As they chatted, the spaceship carrying Lan Xuanyu had already begun to enter the atmosphere of their home planet.
After coming out of his meditation state, Lan Xuanyu noticed that Elder Shu beside him had also awakened, wearing a gentle smile on his aged face, apparently in a good mood to return to their home planet.
“Elder Shu, can I ask you a question?” Lan Xuanyu said. freewebn(o)vel
Elder Shu replied, “Just ask directly. Why be so polite with me?”
Lan Xuanyu asked, “Since the Emerald Demon Battleship is a battleship, does that mean it can engage in long-term interstellar travel?”
Elder Shu responded, “As long as you’re willing to spend rare metals, of course, there’s no problem. For example, flying from Senluo Planet to the home planet would require about five pieces of Soul Refined Metal.”
Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly and said, “That’s too expensive!”
“Expensive? How could it be the same? It’s much smaller than an interstellar warship, yet it can still travel through space. What more do you want? Can your interstellar warships self-replenish when it’s separated from the mother ship? The internal eco-charging system of the Emerald Demon Battleship is already the highest technological achievement. If it were a warship, even if you have divine metals, it would still be useless.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “But it’s still not worth it. The consumption is too high. The consumption of the Emerald Demon Battleship is enough for a large warship. I’m talking about the value aspect. How many people can a large warship carry?”
Elder Shu glanced at him and said, “There’s something I might not have made clear to you. Biological Warships do have huge consumption, so they cannot be widely used. However, while they consume a lot, the effects they can produce are different. For example, your Emerald Demon Battleship can fly at three times the speed of an ordinary warship in space. It means that if you fly it from Senluo Planet to the home planet, it will take less than two days to arrive. That’s under full acceleration, so the consumption I mentioned earlier was just a casual estimate. About two to three pieces of Soul Refined Metal should be enough. Do you still think it’s expensive?”
“What?” Lan Xuanyu exclaimed in surprise, “So fast?” Three times faster than an ordinary warship? What terrifying speed is that? If that’s the case, then it’s really not expensive at all! As they said, in war, speed was vital, and many times, one second can mean the difference between life and death, not to mention three times the speed.
Moreover, with such a high speed, its effectiveness on the battlefield would be entirely different!
Lan Xuanyu’s heart raced, “What about the Silver-Armored Great Peng Battleship? Can it also be three times faster?”
Elder Shu glanced at him and said, “For short distances, it can be about twice as fast, but for long-distance flights, it can be up to five times faster. Haven’t you heard of the Silver-Armored Great Peng covering ninety thousand miles with a single wing flap? It is the most powerful among all soul beasts for long-duration flights; not even true dragons or phoenixes can compare. That’s why it was chosen as the first truly powerful battleship. Moreover, the Silver-Armored Great Pen is irreplaceable; there’s only one ancient remains left.”
Lan Xuanyu didn’t know what to say anymore. With every bit of knowledge he gained about Biological Warships, he found himself forming an entirely new understanding of them. No wonder Elder Shu and Da Ming both said that Biological Warships were the pinnacle of current technology and the most formidable existence.
The spacecraft suddenly shook and gradually stabilized; they had passed through the atmosphere.
The air system was opened to the outside, bringing in the rich aura of life from the environment.
Elder Shu said, “Xuanyu, remember, unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t rush to use the Emerald Demon Battleship. It will be your most important trump card. Once it’s exposed, our Biological Warship plan may no longer be a secret. Although the Federation can’t do much to us now, once it’s exposed, the Academy and Tang Sect will face significant pressure. After all, the Biological Warship is too unique, and even soul beasts might feel threatened.”
“Millennia ago, we made an agreement with soul beasts not to kill them and provide them with living space. One reason is that we do need ecological balance and coexist peacefully with soul beasts. Another reason is that with the mass production of soul spirits, even Millennium Soul Beasts aren’t of great benefit to us anymore. But if the matter of Biological Warships becomes known, and soul beasts don’t have enough strength to protect themselves, the tragedy from the past might repeat. That’s why Da Ming emphasized the need to find a homeland free from the Federation’s control. Because as long as they are within the Federation’s jurisdiction, soul beasts will be like meat on a chopping board, always at risk of”
Lan Xuanyu’s heart trembled. He actually held a great fondness for soul beasts. Whether on Elven Planet or Senluo Planet, he had gained substantial benefits from them.
He also understood that the reason Da Ming handed the Emerald Demon Battleship to him right away was mainly for his own protection. This battleship couldn’t be measured by its value; it was his protective talisman in the truest sense.
“Elder Shu, rest assured. Unless it’s a matter of life and death, I won’t easily use the Emerald Demon Battleship to cause trouble for the Academy and Tang Sect,” Lan Xuanyu said earnestly.
