"Fang Yu?"

Upon hearing Li Lin's words, everyone's gaze involuntarily returned to the first sea ship that single-handedly took down the Star Beast.

This sea ship is precisely the Salted Fish!

Being watched by everyone at this moment, Fang Yu didn't have much emotional fluctuation and still maintained the ship's shapeshifting exterior.

Except for the two ship cannons that have already fired—once these things are activated, they briefly revert from the ship's shapeshifting state to their original appearance.

Further shapeshifting wouldn't have much meaning.

So... at this moment, in everyone's eyes, the Salted Fish looks quite bizarre.

A very ordinary sea ship that doesn't seem to have undergone much modification paired with absolutely top-tier ship cannons.

It has a feeling like building a mansion in the middle of a ruin, which is very discordant.

Everyone's gaze instinctively turned towards the ship cannons on Fang Yu's ship, and involuntarily, they took a deep breath.

Someone whispered, "Who is Fang Yu? I haven't heard of this person before."

"I don't know... I've never seen any battle achievements from Fang Yu before."

"This person is definitely a dark horse."

At this moment, someone took out an intel sheet from their pocket and then spoke to the crowd, "I bought an intel sheet from Li Lin, and Fang Yu's name is indeed on the dark horse list."

"The evaluation on the intel sheet is..."

"The captain once intimidated a large cargo ship's voyager with a single shot, making them dare not act rashly."

"No matter how the sea ship is, the captain is definitely a powerful Transcendent!"

Hearing this person's words, everyone was initially stunned, then looked at the Salted Fish with peculiar expressions.

Are you... sure it's not the ship cannons that are powerful, but the captain instead?

When they had just taken down the Star Beast, the power of those ship cannons, the frequency of attack and fire rate, were definitely not merely enchanted and strengthened.

The two ship cannons were absolutely reinforced by Lord Points.

With this configuration, under normal circumstances, it should be that the captain invested his Lord Points mainly in the sea ship, making its power so formidable.

But if he invested in the sea ship, how did the Lord become a powerful Transcendent?

This isn't logical...

...

On Qingyue Island, several members of the consortium and those responsible for updating the combat power ranking list exchanged glances, with a hint of unusual color flashing in their eyes.

Compared to ordinary captains, they, as professional "sea scouts" discovering powerful captains, have exceptionally sharp vision.

At this moment, several people murmured softly, continuously recording everything their eyes had just seen.

"When the first ship cannon fired, I didn't pay attention, but during the second cannon's firing, the sea ship's exterior showed obvious signs of shapeshifting fading, indicating Fang Yu's sea ship is far from being as ordinary as its appearance."

"One lightning-enchanted ship cannon, one... seems to be a rapid-fire enchanted cannon."

"Both have dual effects, probably enchanted by veteran Alchemists, and their power has definitely been strengthened once."

"Strengthened, enchanted by veteran Alchemists, and based on observation, each of the twin cannons was invested twice with Lord Points..."

"In the cargo ship-level sea ships, it's completely a luxurious top configuration..."

"Fang Yu... top configuration dual cannons, captain's combat power... is reportedly very strong... As for other modifications, due to the sea ship's shapeshifting, it's temporarily unknown."

"Suspected... to possess captain individual combat power type talent..."

The few exchanged glances, analyzed all the modification conditions Fang Yu had displayed so far, with just a few words.

Their vision was exceptionally sharp.

Then, they buried themselves and quickly recorded everything in their instruments.

People from the consortium whispered, "The potential shown so far, rating: Grade C, potential is decent, can attempt to sign a Grade C contract with them..."

Meanwhile, the combat power ranking personnel lowered their heads and softly said, "Given that Fang Yu's sea ship is only a medium-sized cargo ship, it should be difficult to directly confront the captain of a large cargo ship head-on."

"Tentative estimation on the cargo ship-level combat power ranking: 120th place."

"We'll observe further and then update."

At this moment, the entire battlefield, over ten Star Beasts, each attracted the captains' attention, with each captain's primary focus being the Star Beast before them.

But...

The war record of the Salted Fish was eye-catching enough to make a group of captains instinctively turn their gaze towards Fang Yu.

"Boom!"

At the forefront of the first echelon, Shi Jun and three others quickly took down the Star Beast in their hands.

But... Shi Jun's face was quite unsightly.

The Star Beast born right before the four was indeed taken down immediately.

But... the four contenders were at odds with each other, refusing to yield, and the result was that the benefits from the Star Beast had to be divided among them.

Each person received only one Starlight Stone Fragment.

This made all four of them look grim, with their gaze instinctively turning towards Fang Yu's Salted Fish.

At this moment, they suddenly realized the wisdom of Salted Fish's position.

Amid the group of weaker captains, although it might not seem outstanding, the competitive pressure was much lower.

Top-tier ship cannons, with attack speed and frequency, are absolutely unmatched by ordinary cannons.

By the time ordinary cannons are ready, the top-tier cannons would already have destroyed the Star Beast.

The four sought fame, sailed in the first echelon, stole the spotlight.

But when a Star Beast appeared in front of them, it's surrounded by equally top-tier captains, a level of combat power.

As soon as a situation arises where none yield, this Star Beast would inevitably be divided among the four.

But Fang Yu's cargo ship is surrounded by ordinary captains, so as long as he seizes the opportunity to attack first, he has the chance to solo the Star Beast before other ordinary captains are prepared.

Isn't enjoying the benefits of slaying the Star Beast alone tempting?!

With this in mind, the four exchanged glances, did not hesitate, and immediately piloted their ships to disperse.

Any destination is fine, just get away from equally top-tier captains.

Only when surrounded by mediocrity can you have the chance to feast.

Surrounded by experts, everyone can only get a piece or even just a bowl of soup.

...

At this moment, outside opinions had no effect on Fang Yu.

After slaying the Star Beast, a prompt sounded in the minds of everyone on the Salted Fish:

"Star Beast slain, all members receive +1000 experience points, +1200 Copper Coins, +1 Basic-level Starlight Stone Fragment."

"Captain independently receives +4 Basic-level Starlight Stone Fragments."

Then, in everyone's interface, a fragment of a Radiant Star Stone sparkling with star light appeared.

It is said that 20 fragments can form one complete Radiant Star Stone.

With the power of Radiant Star Stone, one can boost the strength of Transcendent abilities, leading to evolutionary effects.

Moreover, even if unused, selling it can fetch 100-300 Silver Coins per piece, definitely a good item...

Looking at the Radiant Star Stone in his hand, Fang Yu looked ahead without much thought and continued to sail.

This time... Fang Yu is determined to obtain a complete Radiant Star Stone!
