Chapter 153: Chapter 150: Great Fortune Ascends to General-rank! General Trait: Crown Prince

The materials to upgrade the Wandering Ship were all gathered.

Shi Ming used his Brain of Creation ability, focusing his attention on the *Dayun*. The High-Level Sea Crystal Stones, iron ore, and Sea Beast Blood rapidly transformed into a viscous, gaseous state, enveloping the *Dayun*’s hull and reshaping the Wandering Ship with a strange power.

The Level 4 ship was upgrading to Level 5!

The upgrade’s effect on its appearance was limited, but appearances can be deceiving—and for a ship, they are also the least important thing.

To outsiders, it still looked like an unremarkable Silver-level Wandering Ship. They would never know it was now a Golden-level, or even an Admiral-class, Wandering Ship! Perhaps a single ram could make their own ships disintegrate on the spot.

[Golden-level Wandering Ship - Dayun, ID 23333]

[Level: 5]

[The exterior of a Silver ship, the essence of a top-tier Golden Ship! Perhaps this vessel has taken the act of being a wolf in sheep’s clothing to its absolute extreme! Its hull is durable enough to withstand a full-power strike from an A-rank Sea Beast, and its stealth system can evade detection from all Wandering Ships of the same level!]

[Its many hull functions have been upgraded! It is the king among Golden Ships!]

[Advancement Requirement: High-Level Sea Crystal Stone x2000, Sailing Heart x1, A-rank Sea Beast Blood x10 liters.]

[Advancement materials detected. Advance immediately?]

Advance!

The Sailing Heart stripped from the *Chuiyan* became the cornerstone for the *Dayun*’s ascent to an Admiral-class Wandering Ship.

The deep blue meteorite spun rapidly before shattering into fine, gaseous particles. Together with a full 2,000 High-Level Sea Crystal Stones and two different types of A-rank Sea Beast Blood, it once again began to reshape the Wandering Ship.

Upgrading the *Dayun* twice in a row consumed a considerable amount of Spiritual Power.

Fortunately, Shi Ming’s Spiritual Power was abundant. Compared to the first time he upgraded an Admiral-class Wandering Ship, he felt he had plenty of strength to spare. It was just a shame that he still had no way to quantify his Spiritual Power, making it difficult to determine what level he was truly at.

The *Dayun* was much larger than the *She Ri*, so it consumed more High-Level Sea Crystal Stones. However, the main material remained unchanged; it still only required a single Sailing Heart.

Time passed, second by second. The words "Advancement Successful" appeared before his eyes.

From this day forward, there was one more Admiral-class Wandering Ship on the Endless Ocean!

’What kind of [Admiral Trait] will appear this time?’

Shi Ming’s eyes swept over the new admiral-class ship, the [Dayun], its aura restrained. Its information appeared before him once more.

[Admiral-class Wandering Ship - Dayun, ID 23333] 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

[Level: 1]

[The former Silver Soldier has now become a Grand General and has even activated two whole Admiral Traits! This is a truly rare miracle! Even ▇▇▇, who compiled the Wandering Ship System and the Celestial Net System, would click their tongue in amazement upon seeing this! Who knows, they might even take it apart as a research specimen!]

[New Admiral Trait! Crown Prince!]

[New Admiral Trait! Momentum Breaker!]

[Upgrade Requirement: Dome Crystal x300, any type of S-rank Sea Beast Blood x1000 grams, Sailing Heart (or equivalent Energy Meteorite) x1]

’Two Admiral Traits!?’

’That’s one more than the *She Ri* has!’

’Excellent, truly excellent!’

As for the Brain of Creation’s reminder about "▇▇▇, who compiled the Wandering Ship System and the Celestial Net System," he had too little information to understand or speculate further. He could only make a mental note of it, stay on guard, and see if he could find any related clues in the future.

Shi Ming rubbed his slightly tired head and carefully sensed the changes in this new admiral-class ship.

Just like before, its exterior remained that of an unremarkable Silver ship. Only by touching its hull and carefully sensing its essence could one feel the astonishing potential contained within!

Of the 102 Admiral-class Wandering Ships in the Endless Ocean, Shi Ming alone possessed two!

[Admiral Trait: Crown Prince]

[Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger; when a sage arises, all creation is revealed. This ship is a new admiral, yet it faintly carries the bearing of a king!]

[Whether at Level 1 or Level 5, the *Dayun* will manifest the state of a young king! It is immune to the Admiral Traits of other Admiral-class Wandering Ships! Whether it’s "Domain Suppression," "Force Field," "Po Jun," or "Disruption," they will have no effect on it!]

...

Shi Ming blinked. ’Crown Prince? Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger... It just reached admiral-class and it gets a trait with a name like this. What’s it trying to do?’

’This Yellow Robe... what is a king to do?’

’You’re all really forcing my hand!’

He moved on to examine the other trait.

[Admiral Trait: Momentum Breaker]

[Only when the seas rage does a hero’s true character show.]

[Activate Momentum Breaker, and the *Dayun* will forcibly calm the waves, rapidly consuming Dome Crystals or Pure Dome Crystals to begin accumulating power. Release Momentum Breaker, and it will unleash its stored momentum over 10 seconds, charging forward 1 nautical mile! The longer it accumulates power, and the higher the grade of Energy Stone consumed, the stronger the force of Momentum Breaker will be!]

[Note: At maximum power, it can capsize a Wandering Ship of the same class!]

Shi Ming noticed a specific word: class.

Not level.

In other words, if Momentum Breaker accumulated enough "momentum," a single ram could potentially capsize a ship like the Black Society’s? Regardless of whether it’s Level 5 or Level 1, it could just flip the whole table!

A ship that was once plundered by the Black Society and forced into its service, turning around and capsizing the Black Society’s own ship?

If a scene like that really happened, wouldn’t it be the greatest joke in all the heavens?!

Setting aside thoughts of the future for now, Shi Ming was extremely satisfied with the *Dayun*’s two Admiral Traits. In all other aspects—the hull’s material, its durability, and its internal infrastructure—everything had been upgraded to admiral-class, fully living up to the name.

This included the ship’s weapons systems, defense systems, detection systems, and counter-detection systems...

It might be the second smallest Admiral-class Ship, but it was by no means the weakest.

The Sea Patrol Radar could now directly detect life forms up to 30 nautical miles on the surface and 3,000 meters underwater.

With its weapons systems at full power, it could contend with an A-rank Sea Beast. However, Shi Ming rarely used the ship’s weapons. He himself was the greatest weapon system on board. Besides, wasn’t fighting Sea Beasts an interesting thing in itself? There was no need to rely on external power.

Not only that, but the captain’s authority had also been greatly enhanced.

Shi Ming could now control the *Dayun* remotely. He didn’t have to be on board; as long as he was within 30 nautical miles, the *Dayun* would obey his commands for remote combat. He could also pre-program commands, allowing the *Dayun* to execute its tasks flawlessly even when he wasn’t around. Of course, this would be quite mechanical, as the *Dayun*, unlike the *She Ri*, did not have an artificial intelligence system.

He wondered what kind of expression the Black Society would have when they saw this ship again.

’Still want to reclaim it?’

’What an audacious fantasy!’
