Chapter 636: Let go of that girl!
"Young Master, our attack hit that spaceship's engine!"
"Hahaha! Good, catch up with it. I must get the ticket to the Cosmic Federation School!"
In a spaceship from a level-three civilization, a young man with an exotic appearance sat in the cockpit, savoring a drink that looked like red wine. Standing respectfully beside him were dozens of Martial Artists at the peak Source Energy Level.
In two other spaceships, the young man's subordinates were present as well. The combined fleet exceeded a hundred people!
This young man's name was Yohuo Scalat, a descendant from a prominent family in a civilization within the Guna La star system.
The Cosmic Federation School had an interesting admission rule. Logically, since the school was located in the Guna La star system, it should offer some favorable policies to the residents of the star system, maybe even direct admission notices for the young geniuses from prominent families.
But that's not how it was. They didn't receive any special treatment, not even a spot in the entrance exam. If one wanted a spot, they had to seize it themselves!
Therefore, this region was not only a test for outsiders but also a huge challenge for the young geniuses of the Guna La Civilization. If they wanted to attend the Cosmic Federation School, they had to leave the protection of their family elders and hunt for a token themselves.
Of course, they could bring helpers, as long as they didn't exceed the Divine Ability User level, and there was no limit on numbers. For those top families, it was easy to bring a team of Martial Artists to seize the exam badge.
"After waiting so long, I've finally found an easy target!" Yohuo displayed an excited smile, "This time I won't let her escape!"
Some of the outsiders traveled long distances from other civilizations to the Guna La star system, accompanied by powerful Martial Artists. However, weapons on a spaceship were effective against most Divine Ability Users, but when facing a Controller level Martial Artist, it would be like hitting a steel plate.
Yet, many came from more backward civilizations, emerging through personal efforts or opportunities, lacking strong protection, and usually piloting less advanced spaceships, making them ideal targets!
In this region, even people from the Guna La Civilization competed against each other. While they refrained from attacking due to mutual respect and inter-civilizational relationships, when prey appeared, more powerful families had priority.
The closer one got to the Guna La Civilization's border, the more outsiders there were, and the larger families in Guna La mostly lay in wait in those areas.
Yohuo's planet was only a level-three civilization. He didn't have the capacity to compete with those large families in the inner zones, so he could only try his luck in the outer regions. But in their eyes, all outsiders were just prey.
During this period, many had passed through, but it seemed Yohuo was unlucky. Most were beyond his reach, while others were too quick to catch. This time was his best opportunity yet!
"Young Master, that spaceship must stop in five minutes at most. Otherwise, the engine will overload, and the ship won't withstand it!"
"Hahaha, well done. Once I get the token, there will be rewards when we return to the family!"
"Thank you, Young Master!" The Martial Artists showed expressions of delight, chasing more eagerly.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, that spaceship finally stopped, floating quietly like a huge piece of cosmic debris in space.
"Young Master, there's only one life signal in that spaceship, and it's only at the Fifth Tier Source Energy level!"
"I knew it," Yohuo laughed, "That spaceship's model was obsolete thousands of years ago, made by a level-two civilization, it surely lacks any background."
Such prey were often the Guna La Civilization's favorites!
"Hand over the token!" Yohuo said directly through the spaceship's communication system. At this moment, the weapon systems of the three ships simultaneously aimed at the powerless spaceship.
With the power of their ship's weapons, one round of barrage would turn the ship, along with its owner, into a pile of space junk.
"Damn it!" The girl inside the spaceship had tears streaked on her stubborn face, trying hard to get her ship moving, but the ship's self-protection system wouldn't allow it to continue sailing.
The girl came from a mid-level level-two civilization, distinguished herself through extraordinary talent and relentless effort. Carrying the hopes of her civilization, she arrived alone at the Guna La star system, only to encounter an attack near the Cosmic Federation School.
She held tightly the badge imprinted with the Cosmic Federation School emblem, her eyes filled with despair and reluctance.
If she handed over the badge, all her previous efforts would be for nothing, but if not, she might die here without anyone knowing.
The distress signal had been sent out for a long time but received no response. At such times, even if someone received it, self-preservation came first, and there were no philanthropists in cosmic civilizations!
...
"Young Master, there's no response from the other side!"
"Then kill her!" Yohuo showed an impatient expression. If other Hunters rushed over now, this badge might slip away again.
"Yes!" The spaceship's weapons started charging. In a few seconds, that ship would become a pile of scrap metal, and they could search slowly!
"Young Master, a spaceship is approaching us!" Suddenly, a guard pulled up a screen showing Fang Jueyu's spaceship!
"An Aeryberd custom private spaceship?" Yohuo's expression turned serious. The base version of this ship cost over 50 trillion cosmic credits and required a certain account level with the Cosmic Bank, making it a very high-end custom product.
Those with such financial resources were at least Dominator Level figures in a level-three civilization!
"This isn't someone from the Guna La star system," Yohuo quickly ruled out this possibility, as those with such status here wouldn't need to travel all the way to the outer region to hunt!
"Someone from an outside civilization!"
"Maybe he isn't coming for us," Yohuo speculated, not believing someone would interfere blindly for a stranger.
However, his wish fell apart as the deep purple spaceship steadily stopped beside them, with two ominous fourth-tier Star Annihilation Cannons facing them.
Yohuo shivered all over, this was no joke. A third-tier Star Annihilation Cannon could destroy a planet with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters. A fourth-tier Star Annihilation Cannon could easily make their three ships vanish!
Yohuo was about to contact the other side, but the voice of the spaceship's owner already came through the wireless communicator.
"Beast, let go of that girl!"
