Looking at the sky again, the 100-meter-long psionic airship was speeding close in an instant. The terrifying speed of the frigate was completely beyond the reach of a standard psionic airship. This was also why John Tross was so confident, revealing his true face in front of Song Chi without any scruples. From the moment he successfully blocked Song Chi, the latter was already a dead man in his eyes.
But what he didn't know was that when Song Chi's figure disappeared into the dense forest below, he immediately activated the Xinghai Market Order and returned to the Heaven's Market, no longer in the mountain range.
Half an hour later!
"This is impossible. Could that kid really have disappeared into thin air?" John Tross's expression was extremely gloomy. In the past half hour, his special detector components had checked thousands of feet underground, yet Song Chi was nowhere to be found.
After falling into the dense forest, Song Chi seemed to have vanished.
"Is there a jump device? That's not right. Did that kid take back the psionic airship, or is it a special ship-borne component for single-body teleportation?"
Song Chi didn't know about John Tross's doubts, but he was sure the other party would be furious. After weighing the pros and cons, he took out the abnormal state purifier from the configuration slot and decided it would be more appropriate to load it on the Sky.
For Song Chi, who was sitting in the Heaven's Market, the thing he feared least was spending time. He could obtain resources much faster than ordinary people, and the same was true for the promotion speed of his ships. However, a grudge is a grudge, and he wasn't ready to retaliate easily. His strength was still too weak.
Without further thought, he walked to the special equipment area of the market and loaded up the "abnormal state purifier" components.
Even entering the market, there was no guarantee John Tross wouldn't monitor the area. Attending the Tianhe auction had already made him anxious. The power of the Tross family was substantial; despite its two hundred years of inheritance, it was already one of the top forces in Baihe City, with three second-level fire captains. This was far beyond what Song Chi, who had just entered the first level, could provoke.
He considered whether it would be better to leave the abnormal state purifier in the market or load it into the Sky.
Having made a note of this incident with the Telos family, Song Chi walked towards the special equipment slot area in the market. He decided he wouldn't take action so easily in the future, even if his identity was concealed. Perhaps he would rely on his family or ask his father for help.
The Heaven's Market figure fell rapidly but was supported by the power of the laws of the market secret realm, finally landing smoothly.
Song Chi murmured softly as he walked. Having been marked by the devil, he felt uneasy these past few days, fearing that the void demons would find him. But now, with the new feature of "space anchor point" in the market, he was relieved.
With the devil's mark completely removed, he could now feel comfortable. He underestimated the value of the Void Crystal, which was significant enough to let a peak second-level Xinhuo captain take action. This showed how rare the Void Crystal was.
A colorless, soft halo emerged from the purifier components, enveloping the entire market space. Song Chi looked at the market attribute panel, seeing that the [Negative Status] column had been eliminated. He sighed in relief, feeling thankful.
Understanding that the market being marked was an accident, he knew he only needed a special device to cover the glory before the next market advancement. This would prevent the void devil from being attracted. Keeping the blue component of the abnormal state purifier in the market wasn't necessary.
Conversely, the Sky would frequently explore alien star fields, destined to deal with various alien civilizations. Conflicts were inevitable, and the blue purifier component, which could purify various negative states, would be helpful.
In the center of Jiangyuan City, Bu Bu Xinhuo Mall, after re-disguising his identity, Song Chi exchanged the remaining 420 zero-level void crystals and 40 first-level void crystals for 420 strands of first-order floating land origin and 40 strands of second-order floating land origin. Then, he used his remaining resources to buy an ordinary white ship-based engine and left the mall quickly.
At Heaven's Market, Song Chi counted his remaining funds. After the purchases, he had less than 300 strands of zero-level floating land origin left. He still had 890 strands of first-level floating land origin and 40 strands of second-level floating land origin, enough for another round of strengthening for the Sky.
He immediately started strengthening the various components of the Sky without hesitation. He would soon explore the "Ruins of Bullo Civilization" and needed a higher enhancement level and stronger attributes for the Sky.
First, he strengthened the white shipboard engine he just bought, upgrading it to lv20.
**Raider Engine lv20**
- Quality: White
- Consumption: 15/s (psi energy points)
- Energy supply: 240/s (psi energy points)
- Buffering after overload: 20 minutes
- Nether Energy Pool: 14,000 points (can store 14,000 points of Nether Energy)
- Required for upgrading: 17 strands of floating land origin (second level), 10 life protozoa (second level)
Next, he turned his attention to the dark matter energy shield generator component, upgrading it to lv19.
**Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator lv19**
- Quality: Orange
- Features: Shield value increased by an additional 90%, Shield protection value doubled
- Consumption: 80/s (psi energy points)
- Protection: 1536
- Shield value: 29184/29184
- Charging: 20s; buffering after overload: 35 minutes
- Required for upgrade: 150 strands of floating land origin (first level), 15,000 nether energy points, 80 tons of mercury crystals
Even though it couldn't be upgraded to the second level at once, the shield value of nearly 30,000 points was terrifying.
With the remaining 343 strands of the first-order floating land origin and 40 strands of the second-order floating land origin, Song Chi spent another 144 strands of the first-order floating land origin to upgrade the particle beam cannon to lv19.
**Particle Beam Main Gun lv19**
- Quality: Blue
- Consumption: 60/shot (psionic points)
- Features: Main gun power increased by 19%
- Power: 500x120%
- Charging: 3s; buffering: 5s
- Required for upgrade: 80 strands of floating land source (first level), 9000 nether energy points.
Now, Song Chi had 199 strands of the first-order floating land source and 40 strands of the second-order floating land source left. He stored the remaining resources on the Sky for emergency use.
The zero-order floating land source was consumed, so the newly purchased special components [Brainwave Remote Control System] and [Abnormal State Purifier] remained at lv0. Checking the attributes panel of the Sky, he reviewed its status:
**[Name: Sky]**
- [Model: Xinhuo-Nether Energy Airship]
- [Level: lv10]
- [Basic components: White Fire Hull lv10, Particle Beam Cannon lv19, Nether Energy Secondary Cannon lv10, Golden Rock Hull Armor lv10, Raider Engine lv20, Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator lv19, Patrol Radar lv10, Nether Energy Training room lv0 (8/8)]
- [Additional components: Fire Sun Terracotta Tree lv15, Brainwave Remote Control System lv0, Abnormal State Purifier lv0 (3/10)]
- [Nether Energy Pool: 14000/14000]
- [Materials: 40 strands of second-level floating land source, 140 strands of first-level floating land source, 24 tons of mercury crystals, primary nutritional potion, clear water...]
In the Heaven's Market full attribute training room, Song Chi did not practice the Guidance Technique or visualize the rubbings of the mythical mecha as usual. Instead, he sat cross-legged, staring at three projection light screens, each displaying different images. He was trying to force himself into the limit-breaking state again, a technique he had experienced twice before.
After a long time, sweat covered his forehead, and exhaustion was evident. But he was determined to master this special skill. For nearly half a month, he had been conducting this targeted training.
"Phew, I can't do it anymore. I have to rest and come back later!"
Feeling a hint of progress, he knew mastering the limit-breaking state wouldn't be easy. After washing up and returning to his bedroom, he slept well. The next day, he resumed training. Another five days passed, and with only three days left before his agreed action time with Shen Qing, Song Chi was still training.
Then, a mysterious feeling suddenly came over him. His mind became extremely clear, and he effortlessly followed the images on the three projection light screens.
"Three uses in one mind, limit-breaking state, hahaha, I've finally entered the limit-breaking state again."
