The newcomer was entirely enveloped in a thick layer of dark red scales, only revealing a pair of eyes, gazing at Fang Yu.

Upon seeing this person, all the crew members suddenly stood up, like cats with their fur bristled, staring at the newcomer with a vigilant expression.

"Alchemy Captain!!"

Everyone felt a tingling on their scalp, subconsciously exclaiming in shock.

The appearance of the person in front of them was identical to those Blue Star Captains who were under mind control.

Currently, the Divine Hall Alliance Army had already thrown those mind-controlled Blue Star Captains into the battlefield, participating in the war.

These Blue Star Captains no longer formed any bond with the ships; instead, they became a singular combat force.

Just like the person before them, completely enveloped in dark red scales, it seemed they've been transformed by some kind of alchemy into such a form.

In this form, an Alchemy Captain could unleash power comparable to that of a warship-level sea vessel, extraordinarily terrifying.

Now... such an Alchemy Captain, with power reaching warship level, had suddenly leaped onto the deck of the Salted Fish, causing the crew to feel a tingling on their scalps, and in panic, they were about to raise their weapons to attack.

"Everyone calm down, this one is not an enemy, put your weapons away."

Fang Yu waved his hand, his internal energy level fluctuations erupted, directly calming down the agitated crew once more.

The crew, coming to their senses, started to look at this Alchemy Captain with curious eyes.

After a while, they relaxed slightly, but still with immense curiosity.

Indeed...

This Alchemy Captain didn't show any aggression, instead, he looked at Fang Yu with strange eyes, pondering something unknown.

When did the captain... establish contact with this Alchemy Captain?

The crew wondered.

But Fang Yu didn't pay attention to the crew's questions, instead, he reached out and guided the Alchemy Captain into his cabin.

Once the door was closed, the Alchemy Captain slowly shed his scales, revealing a delicate face.

It was Guan Xinxue, the bridge between Hua Yu and Fang Yu.

Fang Yu gazed at Guan Xinxue and smiled slightly.

This was the purpose of this journey.

Back on Southeast Stone Island, Meng Biao disappeared while monitoring Fang Yu, and if he went to the main battlefield, under the gaze of countless eyes, he would never be able to establish any contact with an Alchemy Captain.

Only in this kind of edge place, a godforsaken place, could he conveniently contact Guan Xinxue.

What Meng Biao didn't know was...

The cold job he gave Fang Yu turned out to be exactly what Fang Yu wanted, providing him with an opportunity to meet Guan Xinxue and contact Hua Yu.

Otherwise, Fang Yu would still be troubled by how to successfully contact Hua Yu under Meng Biao's surveillance.

"Sit! You've seemingly turned misfortune into a blessing, becoming an Alchemy Captain, embarking on a different path of individual strength, much stronger than before."

Fang Yu looked at Guan Xinxue, a hint of an unusual color flashing in his eyes, then spoke in praise.

Although Guan Xinxue lost the bonding with the sea vessel and the panel functions, the energy level fluctuations emanating from her were incomparable to before.

Even the individual strength alone was enough to rival a warship-level power.

This might be another path altogether.

"It's useless, unless Hua Yu reshapes my body, this current flesh can only last for at most half a year, after which it will completely collapse and die."

"The strength is merely exchanged through burning life."

Guan Xinxue spoke, looking at Fang Yu with curious eyes.

Since Fang Yu's energy level eruption just now, the shock and strange expression in Guan Xinxue's eyes had not dissipated, and finally, she had the chance to speak:

"But you... when I was still a Blue Star Captain, your individual ability was quite ordinary, I never felt your strength."

"But now, as an Alchemy Captain, I feel you are... excessively strong now..."

"Why is your individual strength also this powerful?!"

Guan Xinxue was incredibly shocked inside.

Just at that moment Fang Yu's energy level erupted, Guan Xinxue's heart surged with a strong sense of crisis, as if being watched by a beast.

This greatly shook Guan Xinxue.

She even felt... Fang Yu's combat power might not be inferior to her own.

How could this be?!!

One must know that Guan Xinxue, after burning her life force, losing panels, and having her blood and flesh alchemically engraved by Hua Yu, had finally raised her individual strength to a level enough to rival warship-level power.

But Fang Yu was still within the Blue Star Captain system.

She was once a Blue Star Captain and knew in the Blue Star Captain system, a captain's individual strength was generally not the main direction for enhancing the vessel.

Blue Star Captain's combat power was essentially on the vessel rather than the individual.

However, for Fang Yu, this iron rule seemed no longer applicable.

Fang Yu's strong energy level just displayed suggested that this seemingly harmless young man in front of her might very well... be strong enough to single-handedly rival a warship!

Moreover... what's most important is...

Fang Yu was still within the Blue Star Captain's power system.

This means Fang Yu's full strength should also include his ship, crew, various boosts and tool abilities, all combined, at least 3 to 4 times his individual strength.
