This is not mechanical ascension.

Li Ming was also present when the Pioneer announced the purge. He was quite surprised.

Because the Navigator said that none of the information about these three people was leaked. To be more precise, they were killed as soon as they came into contact with the empire.

From then on, Li Ming knew that there were really high-level officials in the empire within the Pioneers, and they were not ordinary high-level officials.

The entire pioneer organization became famous as a result.

Li Ming said nothing and was already offline. Then the navigator looked at the Bloodfallen, "You don't know about this either?"

"I haven't heard of it. I'll go back and check. If it's true, Ryan is seeking his own death." The Bloodfallen said calmly.

The leader said leisurely: "Qinglong sent all his students there, it shouldn't be a lie."

"I'm even more curious about what exactly Prince Ryan wants to achieve with such a big movement."

On a certain planet in the Corona Borealis star ring, beside the beach, the waves are rolling, and there are living things wearing cool clothes everywhere.

Sensing the movement of the ring, Blackbeard pulled his head out of the magnificent chest and quickly drove several bewildered women out of the room.

Then he was immersed in it. After about ten minutes, he suddenly came back to his senses, and there was still a daze in his eyes.

"Cooperate with Qinglong." He was a little surprised, "Can Qinglong actually take charge of the plan?'

With Qinglong's level of strength, he naturally has this qualification, but he didn't expect the Navigator and others to agree. After all, the more plans he presides over, the higher his right to speak.

He could feel that the Navigator and others had been wary of Qinglong. What on earth could make them agree to it?

He murmured: "Investigating the trends of the Etlan civilization, everything is detailed..."

The cold water slid over the cheeks, the messy hair stuck together, and the condensed water droplets dripped into the sink.

Ford looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes were sunken.

It has turned into a completely unfamiliar face. Even though it is not the first time I have seen it, it still feels dreamy. The cheekbones have been flattened, and the overall look is almost unworthy of being called a master. Although it is a B-level life form, it came here in order to hide its identity. , he almost never showed his strength.

He looked down at the smart terminal, and a wry smile flashed across his lips. He was so cautious because he didn't believe in the black hole network.

As a result, I just got the words "can be trusted" from Li Ming.

This incident hit him hard, but there were more important things at the time, so he forcibly stabilized his mentality.

Now that the tight string has finally relaxed, it becomes even more melancholy.

"Li Ming—" He smiled bitterly. He had almost never contacted Li Ming since the ruins of the Ascended Civilization.

Because there is nothing good to trade between the two.

Later, when he heard that Qinglong had become a master craftsman, he was shocked for a long time. After that, every time he thought of Li Ming, he even felt humbled.

This is a gap in levels, just as Li Ming can easily say that the black hole network is trustworthy because he knows the deep secrets of the behemoth black hole network.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have had to go through all the trouble of fake death, plastic surgery, and wandering around to get here. "Alas -" he shook his head, calmed down, and touched his cheek, "It's not like I can't go back to the plastic surgery."

He also knew that the melancholy he felt now was just because he had been tense before. Now that he had completed the task, he was naturally filled with emotions.

Although he was more and more amazed by Li Ming's changes along the way, he was even more grateful that he could talk to the other person, otherwise, facing such a big event, he would only be in despair.

After tidying up, cutting his hair, and preparing to rest, a mechanical body knocked on the door, saying that Li Ming was looking for him. He was a little surprised, but he rushed over quickly.

Entering Li Ming's room, he found that he was looking at a photo on the virtual screen in front of him. It was the strange person he had described to Suzaku.

Li Ming frowned slightly and looked at the photo in front of him. This guy was indeed very strange. He was wearing a black robe and the slightly exposed skin looked like he was severely burned.

But to do things for Ryan, there must be no shortage of repair methods. Is this intentional?

And those scars really don’t look like normal interstellar life forms.

There are only a few details and no positive appearance, but according to Ford, this guy's status seems important and unimportant.

The status of the other people is clear. Only this guy is weird. Others are very rude to him, but they still want to ask his opinion on some things.

So Ford has a deep memory.

"Here?" Li Ming said casually and put away the virtual screen. The last data in this photo was Ford's blood test report, and there was nothing weird about it.

"You may not be able to rest." Li Ming shrugged, "Get ready to go."

"Where to go?" Ford asked subconsciously.

"Corona Borealis Loop."

When Ford got the answer, he was stunned and couldn't help but said: "So quickly?"

Li Ming's efficiency surprised him.

"There's no need to waste time." Li Ming stood up, and Ford turned sideways and followed him, still a little unresponsive.

"Suzaku, has the Liuying Starship been assembled?" Li Ming asked as he walked, and Suzaku landed on his shoulder. "It was assembled three days ago, and the internal equipment has been added."

"Very good." Li Ming nodded and headed straight for the large assembly factory.

Soon he saw the special type of battleship tailor-made for him - Liuying.

This is a battleship he found from the Forge Master's database. Its real name is Galaxy Shadow. It is considered a small carrier class. After his special design, the weapon system was removed and the comfort and sailing speed were increased. .

It is 1,500 meters long and looks slender in appearance, like a sharp silver sword. The lines of the hull are smooth and elegant.

The silver shell is not a monotonous color, but under the reflection of the stars, a dreamlike halo flows. The front end is sharp, and there are rows of regular windows on both sides, revealing a mysterious blue light, like a The gems inlaid on the silver dragon's body.

Li Ming nodded with satisfaction and had people replenish the fuel. Monroe hurried over at this moment, holding the [Folding Barracks] in his hand.

"One hundred thousand, already packed in." He said, Li Ming nodded, took the [Folding Barracks], and disappeared in a flash.

"Is it just us?" Ford looked around and felt that his question was inappropriate, so he couldn't help but explain: "I'm not doubting you -"

He also watched the collision between Qinglong and Prince Ryan in the central world.

Wearing a mecha, Li Ming was able to withstand Prince Ryan's attacks. Needless to say, his level of strength was unavoidable, but the empty scene at the moment inevitably made him panic.

"My teacher has made arrangements." Li Ming didn't care, "Don't worry."

Ford nodded and was about to speak when he saw another figure approaching quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of him and set off a gust of wind.

"Fortunately, I caught up." The visitor was Robin, complaining: "Boss, you didn't even tell me if you wanted to leave." Ford looked at Robin, feeling like he had seen him somewhere before.

Li Ming glanced at him, "Do you know what we are going to do?"

"I'm so idle that my balls ache." Robin couldn't help but say. After spending half a year at ease here, the development progress has increased rapidly, reaching 5%.

But boredom was really boring. As time went by, he still missed the days of licking blood from the knife edge, which made him curse himself several times, whether he was too cheap.

After finally waiting until Li Ming was ready to go out, he naturally wanted to follow him and go out for some fun.

"Whatever you want." Li Ming didn't mind, and the three of them boarded the spaceship together.

Robin then looked at Ford, brushed his hair, showed a bright smile, and stretched out his hand, "Robin, the Phantom Thief of the Stars, what is your name?"

Ford was stunned, what the hell kind of nickname is this?

He murmured to himself, his expression became solemn, and he stretched out his hand and said: "Earl of Etland - Ford."

"Itlan civilization?" Robin was a little surprised.

"Your Excellency has been there?"

"I've been there once." Robin's expression was subtle. Ford's pupils were slightly condensed at this moment, and he blurted out: "I remember, the Hanikasanya gem?"

"Ha——" Robin stepped back, quite embarrassed, "Unexpected, unexpected——"

Li Ming looked over, and Robin couldn't help but explain, "That's not my mission. In fact, my mission is to kill the wearer of the gem, Sander Mo, who is a star."

"Who knew that when I started, I met an ambusher and accidentally broke the gem."

Ford shook his head and thought, "It's not actually an ambush."

"Huh?" This time it was Robin who was confused.

"Sandermo is secretly trafficking people. We have reached an agreement with the Interstellar Alliance and are preparing to arrest him." Ford smiled bitterly.

"We thought you were one of his at the time, but now we know that you also thought we were ambushing you."

After Robin figured it out, he was a little speechless, but the two of them tacitly agreed not to talk in depth on this topic and talked about other aspects.

By the time the battleship's propulsion engine spit out brilliant flames, the two of them were already chatting somewhat speculatively.

It is still a secret trip, entering the star gate through the exclusive channel, and the disguised identity is ready.

"I really envy you nobles. You have everything since you were born -" Robin sighed repeatedly in the public cabin.

"That's useless. It's better to develop it with higher potential and become an A-class life form at such a young age like you -" Ford was also very disappointed. "The development progress has reached 5% in more than half a year."

"My development potential can only support me to become an A-level life form at best."

As they talked, the two of them turned to Li Ming.

Robin pondered: "I don't know how far this perverted development has progressed."

Having said that, he couldn't help complaining, "He is really a pervert. I have never seen a guy who can develop gene seeds 24 hours a day. It only requires a lot of mental effort, but not everyone can do that kind of boring feeling." Resistant."

He talks a lot, mainly because the Mechanical Royal Court is entirely mechanical and doesn't even have a voice.

"The development potential is high and the effort is so damn hard. It somehow makes me feel a sense of urgency."

"This guy has always been like this." Ford smiled bitterly and speculated: "You said that 10% of the progress is not developed.

? "

Robin shook his head and rubbed his chin, "I don't think it's that fast. After reaching A level, the speed decreases quite seriously. I estimate it is 8%."

Li Ming ignored the two of them and returned to the room.

It takes about half a month to reach the Corona Borealis ring from here.

Because the Stargate was built at home, it shortened a long navigation distance. For Robin and Ford,

The journey was quite boring.

But it was different for Li Ming. He lived a very fulfilling life.

Ten days later, in the Holy Castle trial space, energy was boiling, figures were crisscrossing, and violent power surged wantonly.

More than a dozen figures crisscrossed each other, erratic like ghosts, each movement bringing up a series of afterimages.

From time to time, brilliant sparks exploded, illuminating the area as bright as day.

"Bang!"

Li Ming exerted force on his feet, smashed the accumulated airflow around him, and rushed out in a flash. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out far away. The speed blessing was no longer affected by the reaction force, which was particularly useful.

He looked back and saw the shattered air waves rising into the sky. For this trial space, it was already a considerable movement.

Another battle for a while.

Boom!

The last Yuan clan member was covered with golden talismans, densely packed. With a loud bang, a terrifying energy burst,

sunk inside, and his whole body was blown to pieces.

The rolled skin on Li Ming's body was quickly repaired, and various injuries gradually disappeared.

A virtual screen appeared in front of him--[Passed the upper lord level trial, evaluation-top, reward: Titan blood concentration purified to 35%, a lord-level weapon. 】

The supervisor walked out of the mist, his metallic facial features condensed into an unspeakable expression, looking straight at him.

What on earth is this?

He couldn't understand it, as it had only been more than half a year since the other party came into contact with the Holy Castle.

At the beginning, it was enough to shock him that he could directly break through the entire Warlord-level trial with the strength of a lower-level general, and even the lower-level lord-level trial.

He thought that was already the other party's limit. It was normal for him to have a talent that was a little different from ordinary people to be able to come to the Holy Castle.

The next enhancement would not be so easy.

As a result, within three months, the other party cleared the middle-level lord trial.

After another four months, he directly cleared the upper-level lord trial.

This speed, let alone the current Holy Castle trial, has never appeared even in the Terrax civilization era.

"I'm not saying, forget it—" Li Ming was about to say something, but he couldn't help it in the end, "This difficulty is too high. My strength has already reached the X-level standard, but I can only play the upper-level lord level. This is not in line with common sense."

He estimated that in the peak lord-level trial, every member of the Yuan clan should have a strength similar to his current strongest burst, close to 3X.

"What kind of Yuan Clan is this? Are they really that strong? Did you not change it secretly?"

The Supervisor had no expression on his face. He really wanted to repeat what this guy said, saying that the trial was difficult and unreasonable.

Who was unreasonable? Didn't he know it in his heart?

He said in a cold voice: "I have no right to change any rules of the Holy Castle, otherwise I would have expelled you long ago."

Until now, he still felt annoyed about the way this guy came in.

"That's right." Li Ming nodded, automatically ignoring the other party's attitude, and couldn't help but say: "Fortunately you can't interfere."

The next moment, the Supervisor disappeared expressionlessly, Li Ming shrugged, and returned to reality.

A giant axe blade condensed in his hand, absorbing metal energy, and his body adapted to the further improvement of the Titan bloodline.

"I thought it would take 70% to pass the upper lord level trial, but I didn't expect to do it at 65%."

Looking at the development progress, it has been increased to 67%, and the stimulation of the integration of the Titan bloodline has increased it by another 2%.
