214: Chapter 203 Sea Battle Armor (4/4) 214: Chapter 203 Sea Battle Armor (4/4) “Big Shark, co here.”
Soon, the Ironclad Shark left the realm of the Pirate Fleet and arrived in the vicinity of the reconnaissance ship—Ian dived into the water to stroke the Big Shark, then quietly fed it a potion: “This is an Origin Substance Potion and silver-alloy solution I’ve refined…
If you still wish to increase in size, then your nervous system must be improved.
I’ve read many ancient texts; most Magical Beasts beco sluggish before their Spiritual Neural Network develops, except for so behemoths that unexpectedly display agility from gnawing on rare tals…
The key elents are silver and gold.”
As natural overlords of the sea, Ironclad Sharks rarely perish except during their juvenile years, but even if their Origin Quality peaks and their Sublimation Organ is fully mature, only a very few Ironclad Sharks evolve into the Second Energy Level’s Iron Armor Shark, not to ntion the nearly mythical Isle Whale Shark.
Perhaps Magical Beasts cannot themselves synthesize the key factors, and only a small portion of the Ironclad Shark lineages carry such mories…
but Humans possess such wisdom.
The answer is the neural network!
The Iron Armor Shark, a higher form of Ironclad Shark, is a pure tal-based lifeform.
It moves incredibly fast, like a lightning bolt through the sea, able to dive thousands of ters to search for ore veins and molten rock, capable of shattering the armor of large ships with a single strike, even breaking an Ironclad battleship in two.
It requires not just pure Origin Quality, but various rare tals…
materials of all kinds of alloys, gold, silver, even ‘rare earths’!
The forr is manageable, but the latter is too difficult; in these few days, Ian could only prepare so silver-alloy solution for the Ironclad Shark.
As for the effects…
Slap slap slap slap slap slap————
After swallowing the small silver solution container the size of Ian’s palm, the Ironclad Shark excitedly slapped the water surface with its tail furiously.
The huge splashes even made the crew around think that the Pirate Fleet had caught up again, bombarding this very spot with cannonballs.
Clearly, this was exactly what the Ironclad Shark needed.
“Rest assured, as long as you follow , I will ponder your future evolution path—given your kind’s potential, I believe the Third Energy Level is not your limit…
It’s just that currently, all the Isle Whale Sharks haven’t found the path to the next level.”
Patting the head of the gargantuan shark, Ian promised sincerely, “I still need your strength, so there’s no need to worry I will brush you off…
This ti, the silver solution was a bit rushed.
After this incident, I will search for more precious tal reagents for you.”
Ian doesn’t disdain lying, but he never lies without purpose.
He well understands that his image and reputation are extrely precious, so if he is to lie, it should be used for sothing much more critical…
A promise to an Ironclad Shark is not among those.
Feeling the sincerity in Ian’s words, the excited gargantuan shark gradually cald down and began to swim steadily, catching up with the Reverence Light up front.
Then, it suddenly paused, twisting its body as if trying to remind Ian of sothing.
“Hmm?”
Swimming alongside the Ironclad Shark, Ian looked up thoughtfully to his left: “Oh, I understand…
The Natives have arrived, those two Soaring Surge Gargantuan Eels have already mobilized, haven’t they?”
At that mont, a silvery glint lit up the boy’s eyes—within the core chip’s vision, the bright Armored Clothing within the Pirate Fleet was fully equipped, getting ready to launch.
Thanks to the Ironclad Shark’s disturbance, the pirates were almost incapable of posing a threat to the Reverence Light.
Deploying the Armor Suit was their only choice.
And at the sa ti, the two Soaring Surge Gargantuan Eels dwelling in the Odell Reef had also mobilized…
Their target, it was clear, was only one.
The exploration team.
“I hope there’s enough ti—Viscount, you’d better be quick.”
Shaking his head in the water, Ian felt a slight heaviness in his heart but wasn’t particularly worried: “Pirates and Natives are ultimately not on the sa side, their arrival tis will differ, and they won’t coordinate…
This is our chance.”
After patting the Ironclad Shark, the young man left the sea and returned to the Reverence Light.
“The pirates have Armor Suits.”
He reported this to Master Gossay imdiately, his reason being that he had noticed sothing amiss when the Iron Armor Shark had ramd into the cabin.
The youth continued, as the hunchbacked old man furrowed his brows, “It seems the Natives have been bought off, too.
Two Soaring Surge Gargantuan Eels at the peak of the Second Energy Level are also on their way here.”
“The good news is, they are not aligned with each other and won’t collaborate to attack us.
Moreover, those two Soaring Surge Gargantuan Eels were seriously injured in the great storm six years ago, and it’s nearly impossible for them to recover now.
Their threat isn’t as high,” he added.
“I’m not worried about the Magical Beasts.
It’s only the Armor Suit that’s a threat.” Taking over from Ian, the old man’s expression beca grave, evidently aware of the dire situation.
“It must be an Armor Suit specifically designed for sea combat…
Even for , taking on a professionally modified Armor Suit while also protecting the Reverence Light is going to be a difficult task…”
After all, he was a Scholar, not a professional fighter.
Although confident in his own abilities, he did not dare to make guarantees.
Ian, however, shook his head.
“It’s not difficult.”
The white-haired youth’s eyes shone with a water-colored brilliance as he spoke calmly, “Master, you must have heard about the ti I used Spirit Energy to find the weakness of the Swamp Crocodragon that invaded Harrison Port, and with the help of the Tower Guard’s two cannon shots, we forced it to retreat.”
After the old man nodded with a dawning understanding, Ian chuckled and raised his hand to point to his own eyes.
“Six years have passed, and I’ve learned quite a lot about Aether Armant…
Armor Suits are no mystery to .”
“Now, I can do the sa as I did back then…
and even better,” he said.
“Don’t worry, Master Gossay…
In my eyes, that Armor Suit is definitely full of flaws!”
With keen hearing that was not that of an ordinary person, all the Sublimators aboard the Reverence Light sensed the faint, regular hum appearing in the distant sea.
Hum hum hum…
Such a sound might not be familiar to those who beca Sublimators by accident, but those who had been on battlefields or ca from a family with a deep history of warfare all changed their expressions instantly.
“It’s the Armor Suits!
It’s the sound of the Armor Elent Furnace Heart!”
The Seaborn Swordsman was the first to raise his voice.
This Sublimator, whose father and himself had both fought in the wars against the sea oddities at Whale Song Cliff, was the first to recognize the sound of the Elent Furnace Core that he had heard day and night, “It’s a sea combat model—its speed is very fast, second only to the latest active Armor Suits!”
He was also the only Sublimator, besides the master and disciple Yisen and Ian, who could discern this detail.
“Why would the pirates have Armor Suits?!”
The Shellfish Picking Captain also looked astonished, “Could it be the large Pirate Fleet from Canaan Moore’s side?
Why would they be here?”
But quickly, he realized his own foolishness…
The target was blatantly obvious, and he didn’t need to question who had hired him.
Master Gossay had naturally noticed the humming in the water, but being capable of manipulating air pressure, he couldn’t sense the movents of the Armor Suit through the flow of gas.
The opponent’s armor surface even had a resistant coating, which made it so that even if he extended his Elent Sensing to the maximum, he couldn’t capture it.
The enemy was clearly well-prepared…
But without doubt, this was also their last resort!
As long as this Armor Suit is defeated, even if the Natives ca out in full force, along with the three Totem Spirits that could be mobilized, they definitely couldn’t stop an Alchemy Master!
The question was, how could one find an Armor Suit that could almost beco invisible in the deep sea?
The answer was simple.
— That is to expose it!
“Master, the enemy is at ten o’clock!”
