Sky-cracking Rider

The extraterrestrial race "Sagali" has encountered a nemesis in the form of a biological space mothership. Their trump card became a resource for the enemy, and due to asymmetric information, the Pure Light Sparrow flock led by Xiao Jiu seized a massive amount of rank advancement resources without mercy. After all, high-quality light elemental energy like this is not easy to find.

The tender little wings of these sparrows were exhausted, and no matter what, they could not break free from the atmosphere.

Chen Fei speculated that if those biological space motherships refused to give up, would the Pure Light Sparrow flock led by Xiao Jiu continuously advance in ranks, reaching Human Position Ninth Rank, Earth Order, or even Heavenly Order…

If there were three thousand Heavenly Order Pure Light Sparrows!

Chen Fei would flip the table without hesitation, "What the hell is 'Colonizing Jade Star'? I'm not playing this stupid game anymore! Jade Star belongs to me, and those damn parasitic species, bring it on!"

Three thousand Heavenly Order would be enough to fiercely contending head-on with the "Sagali" civilization, but to completely annihilate the parasitic species, sorry, you'd need to add at least two more zeros.

However, this thought remained just a thought. Let's not talk about other Pure Light Sparrows, even if Xiao Jiu could advance one rank at a time, it would already be a gain with no room for excessive expectations. Otherwise, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Chen Fei looked up at the flock of Pure Light Sparrows circling in the cabin, and seemed to murmur to himself, "I'll have to find a Mage, preferably a Light Mage."

Previously, it was just for amusement, and he didn't care about the value of the magic potion, as long as the little bird was happy. He never expected Xiao Jiu to achieve anything earth-shattering, like saving the world? Rely on a Pure Light Sparrow? With so many ability users and magical beasts all dead?! That joke wasn't funny at all!

But now, as the little bird's rank climbed higher and higher, reaching the high-level human rank, and it bore the irreplaceable crucial role of confronting the Sagali civilization's biological space mothership, Chen Fei couldn't continue to overlook it. Education must be prioritized.

However, as someone who only partially awakened his special ability, barely understanding his Metal Elemental Psychic Power technique, Chen Fei was neither familiar with Battle Qi nor magic. Thus, in terms of Light-based Ability, he couldn't offer much help to Xiao Jiu, capable only of nurturing the little Pure Light Sparrow with Elemental Affinity Enhancement Potions.

S-Class Superpower User Heseman Brown heard Chen Fei's soliloquy and curiously asked, "Light System Caster? Isn't there one among the passengers on the airship?"

Recently, he himself was added to the passenger list of the Ark Project, and he immediately brought his family over from Gamada. With a dozen family members, they were all quite content, reuniting as a whole.

Just like other passengers' families, although not possessing premium genetic heritage, they benefitted from the privileges of being related to an S-Class Superpower User and aimed for genetic diversity. Looking towards the future, they hoped some descendants might awaken as ability users.

"Uh, there is!"

As Chen Fei nodded, the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" thoughtfully displayed a list of Light-based Ability Users in the AR visual assistance interface.

One A-level Light-based Ability User, one B-level Light-based Ability User, ten Light Mages, and six Light Series Warriors, all starting at Human Rank Fourth Stage or higher, with Elemental Affinity talent reaching Heavenly Order. They were selected as the best of the best from a base of billions, each with exceptional talent.

Though talent often represents the ceiling, whether one can reach the Heavenly Order depends on personal diligence and opportunity. The ceiling is there, but it's not easily reached.

"It's a pity they might not be reliable."

Chen Fei didn't want to gamble on this wave.

S-Class Superpower User Heseman Brown is now a mutual beneficiary, naturally posing no trust issues. The Elemental Annihilation Weapon R&D Team also went through scrutiny and selection by the influential figures, filtering out trust issues beforehand, naturally maintaining confidentiality.

But as a passenger for the Ark Project, Chen Fei dared not make such guarantees, unless the Blue Star Civilization perished, and the Ark Plan genuinely commenced, with the giant battleship carrying the last remnants of the Blue Star Human Civilization roaming the stars. At that time, even if the passengers harbored dissent, they would have no stage to act on.

"It's unfortunate I can only find S-Class Light-Based Ability User, otherwise, I could pull them in."

Among S-Class Superpower Users, there are their own circles, and Heseman Brown is naturally familiar with other S-Class Superpower Users, but he wisely leaves Magicians and Warriors alone.

Mages only need Elemental Affinity to teach spells, but special abilities differ from spells, as they directly involve the rules of heavens and earth. Even within the same series, Psi Skills often lack replicability, and despite identical effects in manifestation, the rules and principles can be entirely different.

Just like Chen Fei's Psi Skill "Metal Shaping" and A-level Metal Ability User Kiterley, both can produce screws of the exact same size and material, yet the underlying Psi Techniques are completely distinct.

"Let's hold off for now; more people means harder profit distribution."

Chen Fei shook his head. The distribution of Jade Star's interest among the current three was just right.

Three divisions of the planet (not evenly split), restraining each other, are the most stable.

Bringing others in might upset the balance, and where there are people, there is Jianghu, and competition arises. Chen Fei really had no interest in these intrigues, nor in being distracted by them.

Crack!~

A crisp cracking sound reached Chen Fei's ears. Following the sound, he saw the core of a Third Rank Light Beast Crystal Core, swirling endlessly around the Light Elemental Holy Crystal, completely shatter, transforming into countless light particles thrown towards the Light Elemental Holy Crystal, surrounded by the circling Pure Light Sparrows.

This Magical Beast Crystal Core had accompanied Xiao Jiu's growth, starting from the size of a fist. As the contained Light Elemental Energy was continuously absorbed, it gradually shrank to the size of a quail egg, finally unable to withstand the continuous extraction, releasing the last of its Light Elemental Energy.

A Third Rank Light Elemental Beast Crystal Core plus the Light Elemental Holy Crystal only pushed Xiao Jiu to Human Position Eighth Rank, and that's due to the Pure Light Sparrow's diluted Magical Beast Bloodline. If it were another breed of Light Elemental Magical Beast, it would have long surpassed the boundary between Human Position and Earth Rank to enter the Earth Rank category.

Leading numerous fellow species, Xiao Jiu emitted a light white mist, beginning to spread within the airship cabin, once again causing an anomaly.

"Just now, was it…"

Heseman Brown also noticed the crisp cracked sound amidst the bird's chirping, exchanging glances with Chen Fei.

Precisely because the more than three thousand Pure Light Sparrows chirped in unison, this sound was exceptionally distinct.

"Was it the Light Beast Crystal Core that shattered? This situation… could it be advancing in rank again?"

Chen Fei scrutinized the flock circling overhead with uncertainty, the pale white light mist filling the sky.

He didn't mind that the Third Rank Beast Crystal Core was completely used up, as it was meant to serve as resources for Xiao Jiu's advancement.

Unable to perceive Light Elemental System Energy, Chen Fei could only make baseless speculation in his bewilderment about the scenario before him.

The advancement of Light-elemental Magical Beasts, especially at every rank of high-level human position, didn't manifest like this, even when Xiao Jiu advanced from Human Position Seventh Rank to Eighth Rank, an inexplicable appearance of golden flames was unheard of.

However, the golden flame is recorded in Light Elemental encyclopedic data, referred to as the purest "Holy Flame," currently mastered by none other than the Lord of the Sky. Ordinary people neither get to contact nor even see it.

Chen Fei speculated that the golden flame resembling "Holy Flame" on Xiao Jiu might be related to the Human Position Third Rank Light-based Spell "Holy Daytime Praise" released by the Lord of the Sky at the wedding of his uncle's youngest daughter.

"Holy Daytime Praise" has the effect of blessing and enhancement, capable of strengthening the body, improving immunity, and relieving fatigue, internal injuries, and some illnesses. The spell effect isn't one-time, maintaining its effects for a long duration, from a year up to three, the power of a Third Rank spell renown for its name.

Thinking in this manner, the spell's effect on Xiao Jiu should not have ceased to be effective.
