Ranks 1 to 20 are sufficient to challenge a Lord-level warship captain. (Fully modified, high level)

This time, Fang Yu is facing one elite warship captain, while the other two ships are ordinary warships.

Fighting three at once, although he sunk all three sea ships, everyone could see that Fang Yu's shield was completely shattered at the end, losing its defensive capability, rendering him in extreme peril.

After all, the captains on the forum were unaware of Fang Yu's trump cards, so those who watched this battle might feel that Fang Yu and these three warships were evenly matched.

If there was any deviation, Fang Yu might have been the one to be sunk.

Therefore, many Blue Star captains considered ranking Fang Yu at 53 a very reasonable placement.

"But everyone..."

At this moment, the official from the battle power ranking continued speaking.

"Based on the combat performance shown in the video and Fang Yu's growth speed, we've come to a hypothesis after discussion."

"Hypothesis?"

The Blue Star captains quickly pricked their ears: "What hypothesis?"

"That is... Fang Yu may have awakened an S-class talent, possessing not only a significant power level boost but also a considerable resource boost."

"S-class talent?!"

The crowd was in uproar.

S-class talent is an extremely rare and top-tier talent.

Ordinary talents either enhance combat power or focus on resources, but only the top S-class talents encompass both aspects.

In the nearly five years that have passed, the population of Blue Stars entering this world has likely reached several hundred million, and among them, millions have become captains with lord-level talents.

Among these millions, excluding those who are extremely low-key and unwilling to show themselves, there have been only about twenty known individuals with S-class talents.

Out of several million, there are only twenty, highlighting the rarity of S-class talents.

"If it's truly an S-class talent, the major corporations will go insane trying to get him."

"Corporations insane?"

Some sneer with disdain: "Among the known S-class talents, except those few who perished early, who hasn't become more powerful than a corporation upon fully growing? They're the genuine peak captains."

"Corporations wanting to recruit S-class talents? Dream on."

"Well, times have changed. Nowadays, corporations monopolize many of the advancement channels; even if an S-class talent lacks such avenues, they might not truly be able to grow."

"Indeed... Previous S-class talents appeared when the major corporations hadn't fully developed. Back then, resource competition only required surpassing captains of the same level."

"But now, resource competition requires surpassing both captains of the same level and the corporations."

"Fang Yu is impressive now, but once his sea ship evolves to warship level, will he have the capability to surpass the corporations' extraordinary ships?"

Everyone debated, feeling a heavy heart.

Though there is a gap between ships and warships, the power remains in the realm of material forces, where numerical accumulation allows for ships to challenge warships.

However, the clash between warships and extraordinary ships is a collision between normal rules and entities beyond them, not being on the same level.

Will Fang Yu have the chance to create miracles then?

...

In a distant sea region, several sea ships are anchored in the waters.

Among these sea ships, all are warship-level except for one which is merely a ship-level sea vessel.

But strangely... the surrounding warships all crowd around this ship, treating it as the core of the fleet.

Ahead of this fleet, the enormous corpse of an extraordinary sea beast floats on the slowly calming sea surface.

Even as a corpse, its body emits a powerful energy level radiance.

"Wangyue!"

At this moment, a warship captain spoke loudly to the only captain of the ship-level vessel:

"Look at the forum, the official from the combat power ranking hypothesizes someone has an S-class talent and that this person is very formidable, just having upgraded to ship-level and already sunk three warships, reaching the 53rd place on the ship-level power ranking."

"This person is called Fang Yu."

"Many believe he will be your rival, and you two are bound to have a battle sooner or later."

This ship-level captain is Zhang Wangyue, who was previously ranked first on the cargo ship level power ranking, now upgraded to ship-level.

He is hailed as the top prodigy most likely to reach the summit this year, someone even arrogant people like Cheng Peng show some caution towards.

Zhang Wangyue's face was delicate, his figure slender, and his eyes were as deep and bright as the stars.

He wore ordinary nautical attire, yet his majestic aura was undiminished, standing on the deck like a picture-perfect scene of the ocean.

Upon hearing his companion's words, Zhang Wangyue nodded slightly:

"Oh."

"Uh..."

The person who spoke earlier was surprised by Zhang Wangyue's indifference, puzzled, he asked: "Aren't you curious about this Fang Yu?"

Zhang Wangyue turned his head, smiling and shaking it: "I have no interest in those behind me. My eyes are only set on the figures atop the mountain peak."

"Fang Yu?"

"He's destined only to see my back. Why should I focus on him?"

Hearing Zhang Wangyue's words, his companions exchanged glances.

So arrogant, so confident...

Yet upon considering, it seemed entirely appropriate.

They had pursued Zhang Wangyue all the way to this point.

Always seeing Zhang Wangyue surpassing others, continually creating miracles, never witnessing anyone having any opportunity to surpass Zhang Wangyue.

This figure... might surpass the limitations of corporations, truly becoming a top-tier captain.

"Alright, let's go. Originally, I thought there might be some divine substances on this extraordinary sea beast, but now it seems disappointing."

Zhang Wangyue spoke softly, gazing towards the distant sea region.

"The soul transformation path has very high potential but requires a lot of accumulation..."

His gaze turned contemplative, reflecting within: "The sea ship is very particular; sometimes I don't even know what it wants to consume."

"There's actually another way, but one must weigh whether it's worth it."

Zhang Wangyue took a deep breath, recalling a captain who walked the soul transformation path, sharing the method of advancement.

"Devouring a captain on the same soul transformation path will surely enhance the progress..."

...

"This thing... it's scrapped."

At the junction between the East Ring Sea Region and the Southern Island Sea Region, at a coordinate point on the naval seawall constructed by the military.

Fang Yu sat in the captain's room, his gaze on the sniper rifle in his hand, feeling a pang of regret.

The originally new, alchemy-technology infused sniper rifle had nearly been rendered useless after the fierce battle.

The alchemy markings on it had lost part of their original energy level pulse, and the gun's inner workings were no longer precise.

Actually, during the final shot, Fang Yu noticed from Luo Kuan and Ma's data feedback that the sniper rifle's accuracy was compromised.

This sniper rifle, after multiple overload bursts, couldn't withstand such high energy levels and started collapsing, losing function.

Fortunately at that time, Li Xun's sea ship was already close to Fang Yu's ship, allowing Fang Yu's excellent marksmanship to take Li Xun out with a headshot.

But if attacking targets at a longer distance, the accuracy might not be controllable by Fang Yu.

"It seems it's time to change guns. This sniper rifle is great but no longer accommodates the current energy levels."

Fang Yu murmured, his eyes reflecting reluctance.

But with no choice, after storing ample power, Fang Yu's energy burst exceeds 5000+.

Such a powerful energy wave has completely surpassed the sniper rifle's capacity limit.

The fact that this rifle lasted so many bursts is already a testament to quality; only a better firearm can meet Fang Yu's ever-enhancing power.

Fang Yu stood up, intending to contact Lu Kun, asking if Lu Kun had any good sniper rifles available at a cheap price.

Now that the Ji Clan Trading Association has taken over the military factory, they are starting to delve into the arms trade.

Lu Kun is involved lately, likely finding a remarkable sniper rifle for Fang Yu.

After providing his needs to Lu Kun, Fang Yu felt assured.

Then, Fang Yu turned his gaze to his panel space.

During the naval battle that wiped out the three warships, the rewards from the panel for sinking them were quite abundant.

Especially after taking down Li Xun's warship, obtaining treasures on Li Xun's body.

As Fang Yu focused on the panel space.

The panel logs recorded the following rewards:
