Hundred Springs Star
Star Port
"Brother Tian, no need to see us off."
Allen and the two others stood at the cabin door, smiles on their faces: "When we arrive at Vea Star, we'll need your advice again on choosing a battleship."
Hundred Springs Star is a newly developed planet, not very commercialized. To purchase advanced warships, one has to go to the neighboring Vea Star.
"No problem."
Qin Tian nodded with a smile. He's not very knowledgeable about warships, but it's easy for him to find a few experts.
Additionally, among the friends he made at the Genius Battle, two come from families in the warship business. They might be able to give Allen a good discount.
Beep beep beep
The cabin door lights up yellow, about to close.
"Brother Tian, we're boarding now!" Allen waved vigorously, with a smile full of anticipation for the future, "Once we reach Vea Star, we'll send you a Star message!"
Vivian stood on tiptoe, pushed Luo Xiu forward, and leaned out halfway to shout, "Brother Tian, take care; we'll be in touch often!"
Luo Xiu nodded slightly to Qin Tian. Though he said nothing, the seriousness in his eyes said it all.
The cabin door slowly closed, blocking the view inside and out.
Qin Tian looked at his reflection on the spaceship's hull until the ship carrying the dreams of the three began to ascend, turning into a streak of light merging into the star port's path before turning to leave.
Allen leaned against the spaceship's window, watching the shrinking outline of Hundred Springs Star, suddenly saying softly, "Always a bit reluctant during farewells."
Vivian poked his arm: "Once we establish ourselves on the Path of Dawn, we'll return to reunite with Brother Tian anytime."
Luo Xiu wiped his battle sword; the light reflecting off its blade fell on his face as he calmly said, "We'll meet again."
Allen laughed, yes, we'll meet again.
Over the years, he had grown accustomed to gathering and parting—all the way from the initial choked reluctance to now being able to wave goodbye with a smile. He gradually understood that farewells on the road of adventure were never the end but rather for a brighter reunion.
Like seeds leaving their soil, it's about growing in more expansive worlds.
He pulled out his communicator, looking at Qin Tian's contact, and typed a message on the screen: "Brother Tian, wait for our good news!"
As the success prompt popped up, the spaceship had already rushed out of Hundred Springs Star's atmosphere; ahead is the boundless star sea, with the coordinates of Vea Star and the Path of Dawn subtly glowing on the navigation screen.
Allen knew that no matter how many obstacles to face in the future, as long as he thought of having friends like this whom he could rely on, the road beneath him would never be lonely.
And that day's reunion would certainly be more worth anticipating than today's parting.
Path of Dawn, here we come!
......
After Allen left, Qin Tian would be boarding the ship returning to Silver Gray Star.
Before departing, he made some preparations.
First, he went to the Mining Beast nest, utilizing the [Gold Devouring Transformation]'s weapon-casting ability to strip huge amounts of ore from a vein into metallic essence particles and then compressing these particles into blocks of fine iron.
This refined iron is of high quality, which could be sold or used to craft weapons.
In addition, he buried the remaining half-consumed underground Spiritual Spring as well as the underground Spiritual Spring Allen sold to the Black Cloud Commerce Association. Later on, he would arrange for his elite to come here to enhance their Cultivation through the Spiritual Spring.
Before boarding the spacecraft, he took Xiong and the Poisonous Widow back to Yang Space. One is a half-beastman without identification, the other a wanted criminal, unable to board commercial ships. Once back on Silver Gray Star, he would find a way to resolve this issue for them.
...
A week later, Silver Gray Star
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
On the star port's tarmac, Li Qi, Feng Mochuan, and Yang Fan quickly approached. Whenever Qin Tian returns from afar, these three always punctually meet him, which has become a routine.
Inside the flying device, Feng Mochuan looked at Qin Tian, and finally couldn't help but say: "Boss, there's something different about you this time around."
Previously, when Qin Tian was beside him, he mostly felt the suppression of the high-ranking Night Demon bloodline, which, despite being pressuring, allowed him to roughly gauge Qin Tian's power level.
This time, however, Qin Tian simply leaned against the seatback, and even though his aura was perfectly restrained, Feng Mochuan inexplicably felt tense. It wasn't the oppression from the Night Demon bloodline but rather a sheer display of power pressure—blending thunder and darkness with sharpness, like a blade hidden in its sheath. Though it remains unsheathed, a dangerous scent is perceivable.
Li Qi also nodded: "Old Mo's right. When I saw you from afar at Star Port, you seemed cloaked in an invisible edge that made me feel uneasy from a distance."
With Night Demon bloodline, he can very keenly detect dangers from surroundings or other beings; even if someone has purposely restrained their aura, he can sense threats from minuscule energy fluctuations.
At this moment, his boss feels like a thunder bomb wrapped intensely—appearing externally calm but internally surging with power enough to tear through anything. That latent destructiveness naturally tenses his nerves.
Qin Tian faintly smiled: "I've had some recent fortuitous encounters, now reaching Tier Five Spiritualist."
Tier Five!
Feng Mochuan and Yang Fan were surprised by Qin Tian's current strength, while Li Qi experienced an earthquake within.
He distinctly remembered that on the day the master transformed him into a Night Demon, he broke through from Tier Three Nine Stars to Tier Four through the Night Demon's dark bloodline, and at that time, the master was merely a Tier One Spiritualist.
Yet, a year later, while he's still one step away from Tier Five, his master has already taken the step, breaking into Tier Five ahead of him.
