Within nearly a hundred nautical miles, not a single ship could be seen—this was downright eerie.

"Damn, maybe we've encountered some doom too and become one of the missing captains?"

Luo Kuan swallowed hard, speaking with a mournful tone.

"Shut up, you jinx."

Luu Yuan glared at Luo Kuan, his eyes full of solemnity.

"What exactly is going on? We'll know after testing it out!"

At this moment, Fang Yu, without a word, summoned the sniper rifle from the panel space.

He then raised the sniper rifle in his hand and, without hesitation, fired a shot toward the empty distance.

"Bang!"

The sound of gunfire rang out, a bullet enveloped in dark edge sped forward carrying terrifying power.

But just when it reached nearly a nautical mile away.

The bullet suddenly... vanished!

It was as if it had been pressed into an alternate dimension, rather than just stopped.

"Perhaps... it's not the bullet that fell into another dimension... but us!"

Fang Yu spoke softly, his gaze fixed on the deck beneath him.

From the deck beneath him, he perceived feedback from the ship's soul transformation: since just now, the Salted Fish seemed to have been treading in place.

The ship appeared to be moving swiftly, but its relative displacement in this world was zero.

Not moved an inch, simply spinning in place.

"We've been ambushed!"

Fang Yu whispered and, without hesitation, activated the ship's shield.

"Buzz!"

A muffled sound echoed, and a faint blue shield immediately enveloped the Salted Fish.

And at this moment, a deep booming sound of cannon fire erupted.

Everyone onboard the Salted Fish felt a shiver extending from their souls upon hearing this sound.

It was as if a skyscraper was collapsing toward them, forming an endless crushing force.

The next moment, amidst the astonished eyes of the people, a seemingly ordinary cannonball, carrying a fearsome power level, quietly gathered from the void and bombarded toward the Salted Fish.

"Quick, evade!"

A crew member shouted loudly.

But no matter how Fang Yu maneuvered the Salted Fish below, it seemed fixed, embedded in an area like being at the center of a quicksand, with no leverage anywhere.

Trying to escape, but the ship remained stationary, unable to move an inch.

They could only watch helplessly as the cannonball struck Fang Yu's ship.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

The power of the cannonball, carrying a massive energy-level ripple, exploded upon impact with the Salted Fish's shield.

The overflowing energy-level ripple frenziedly destroyed the Salted Fish's shield.

At this moment, both sides formed a mutual counterbalance.

The blue light on the shield continued to shimmer, various enchantment powers activated continuously upon it.

But...

This cannonball's power was simply too potent, beyond the capacity of a freighter-class ship's confrontation.

In the ultimate explosion, just a single cannonball exhausted the shield's entire energy level, shattering the Salted Fish's shield entirely.

Although the cannonball lost its energy level after breaking the shield, Fang Yu and the others effortlessly blocked it.

But...

Currently, the Salted Fish's enchantment power is just mid-level enchantment.

Yet they managed to shatter mid-level enchantment with just one cannonball.

The force of this strike left everyone onboard the Salted Fish greatly shocked.

"Huh?"

The people on the Salted Fish were surprised, and seemingly the attacker was slightly shocked too.

The next moment... a... warship!

It appeared out of nowhere in front of Fang Yu and the others.

Warship... a genuine warship! Representing the ultimate combat power as a terrifying weapon.

The gap between freighter-class and ship-class is not substantial.

But the gap between ship-class and warship-level is so vast they are practically different realms of combat power.

The reason is simple, at the warship level, all parts of the ship can undergo a second reinforcement!

Reinforcement is the base value of the ship.

Equivalent to the base energy level of the crew or lord.

Enchantment is the ship's extraordinary ability.

Enchantment power is important, but... the extent of enchantment power depends on the ship's reinforcement ability.

Like humans, the base energy level of the body is crucial.

Only by increasing the base energy level can extraordinary ability unleash more formidable power.

Fang Yu's ship can overstep and deal with ship-class ships because both have undergone one reinforcement.

The difference is only in the amount of enchantment ability and the energy level gap between captains.

Thus, a freighter-class ship has a chance against a ship-class one.

But for a warship-level, the ship parts have undergone a second reinforcement, stepping into another realm altogether.

A freighter-class captain simply cannot compare to a warship-level captain.

No wonder... just a single cannonball shattered the entire shield of the Salted Fish!

At this moment, the warship that emerged from the void exuding sharp metallic chill, illuminated by the sun, were like warfare tools from the future.
