Chapter 657: 654, Seven-day War_1
PS: Sorry, I came home late today, so I posted this chapter without revising it. If you see this line, wait half an hour and refresh the page to read. If this line is not here, it means that you are reading the revised version.
Just as Su Yu had anticipated, the Skru people had shut down the “Spaceship Security System” to ensure no traffic congestion occurred with their spaceships.
The transport ship, fully loaded with high-explosive missiles, smoothly arrived deep into the transit station, docking in a small shipyard within the station.
However, Su Yu had overlooked one important detail.
That was the presence of the three God-Level warriors of the Skru race—Pu Langte, Sidim, and Victoria—who were right there, hovering over the small shipyard.
Not just these three god-level elites, but also nearly 40 seventh-tier and over 300 sixth-tier warriors were present as well.
They were all gathered near the space cracks above the shipyard, prepared to cross the space cracks in order to intervene if the people of Blue Star attacked Spiritual Spring Eye.
…
Boom!
Thirty seconds later, the high-explosive missiles in the transport ship detonated with a rumble.
The shockwave of the explosion instantly shattered the ship’s outer shell, spreading within the shipyard.
The explosive power of these high-explosive missiles was quite astonishing. In a very short time, the explosive shockwave covered all the transport ships docked in the small shipyard.
These ships were loaded with Energy Cans carrying high-pressure Spiritual Energy, substances very prone to triggering explosions.
The explosion of the high-explosive missiles was like tossing a flaming matchstick into a barrel of gunpowder, immediately setting off a chain reaction of extensive explosions.
Boom!
More than 50 Energy Transport Ships inside the shipyard exploded one after another. The shipyard collapsed with a rumble, and the explosive shockwave rushed out of the shipyard.
Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, the god-level warriors of Skru Star took action.
Without thinking, Pu Langte activated the “Space Jump” module on his mech suit and instantly teleported, along with his suit, outside the shipyard. A protective blue particle shield stood in front of him, like a wall.
Sidim and Victoria were not slow either.
Victoria used her strong psychic powers to create a magnetic field that wrapped around the shipyard, absorbing and then slowly neutralizing the incoming shockwave. It directed the shockwave into the magnetic field to absorb as much of it as it could.
Sidim set up a grand-scale psychic defense, placing a giant protective shield above the shipyard.
The three god-tier warriors, acting together, managed to nip the rapidly-spreading chain reaction explosion in the bud.
Their 40 seventh-tier and over 300 sixth-tier warriors under their command also didn’t just stand by—they rushed towards the shipyard and employed their unique skills to alleviate the impact of the explosion.
Thus, the Skru people’s losses were not that great—just over 50 transport ships and one shipyard were lost.
Although the losses were small, the Skru people definitely weren’t going to turn a blind eye to this incident.
After controlling the explosion, Pu Langte immediately turned his gaze towards the direction of the command headquarters where Langqi and Manina were located, he roared, “Langqi, Manina, exactly what is going on?”
“Lord Pu Langte, we will find out what’s going on immediately.” That was Langqi’s response.
To be honest, Langqi was also taken aback when the shipyard exploded. He quickly ordered his team to investigate where the problem occurred.
Soon, the results of the investigation came out.
Dreyk, the director in charge of the energy transport work at the command headquarters, approached Langqi with his head bowed, stating, “Sir Langqi, after the AI analyzed and tracked all potential explosives in the shipyard, we determined that the most probable cause of the explosion was a transport ship from the 0086 major spring eye.
This ship might have carried a large explosive, and we didn’t detect this explosive because we had shut down the spaceship security system. This allowed the ship to successfully enter the shipyard.”
“Damn it! There must be a mole in our command headquarters. We had just turned off the spaceship security system when this incident occurred!” Langqi got up and stomped his foot in frustration.
Because using the spaceship’s security system would create a considerable traffic jam, they had just turned off the system to let the spaceships gathered at the entrance to the Space Cracks pass through, then trouble happened! Was this a coincidence?
“Dreyk.” Langqi said to the transport director with a stern face: “I’ll go inform His Majesty about the inside leak. You watch the entrance to the Space Cracks. Don’t let any problems go unchecked. If the same happen as before, you won’t live to see tomorrow’s sun. Understand?”
“Yes, sir Langqi,” Dreyk answered with a sweat filming across his forehead.
…
The scene returns back to Blue Star.
After the spaceship passed through the Space Cracks, Su Yu stealthily left the large base in the Eastern Siberian Mountains.
Minutes later, the effects began to show.
Due to the explosion, relevant departments detected a half-hour stagnation in the spiritual energy transport system of Skru.
That means globally, all spaceships transporting spiritual energy from the Spring Eyes were on standby at the base. Not a single spaceship passed through the Space Cracks for half an hour.
This led to the huge over-exploited spiritual energy having nowhere to be stored, and it could only be dissipated on Blue Star.
However, the problem was resolved in just half an hour, and Skru’s spiritual energy transport system was restored to full operation.
Su Yu’s actions had an effect, but it wasn’t very noticeable.
Su Yu was helpless, saying in the group chat: “I didn’t expect the Skru to resolve my trick in just half an hour, it seems that the spaceship didn’t serve much purpose.”
Prime Minister Cao Cao responded in the chat: “It seems they were prepared, but they weren’t fully prepared. This half-hour stoppage hurt them a lot.”
A senior monk in the chat agreed: “Indeed, having them stop for half an hour is already quite good, equivalent to 1,800 cans of spiritual energy that the Skru couldn’t transport back to Skru Star. This is a large number.”
Another senior monk inquired: “Su Yu, what do you plan to do next? Continue to control the Skru’s missile spaceships?”
Su Yu: “Forget about the missile spaceships, this trick can be used once, but the more you use it, the less effective it becomes. I plan to act freely, using my ability to teleport long distances to randomly teleport around the European continent, preventing the Skru from taking the spiritual energy.”

“Alright, be careful.”
…
…
The following seven days on Blue Star were spent fighting with the Skru for the spiritual energy.
In these seven days, all the small and large Spring Eyes that the Skru controlled were erupting with extremely high intensity.
The majority of the erupted spiritual energy was taken back to their home planet by the Skru, with a small portion being snatched by the Blue Star monks or dispersed into the air of Blue Star.
From a broader perspective.
Prime Minister Cao Cao had been extremely brave in these seven days.
Carrying [The Hilt of the Sword of Many Precepts], he took control over 17 large Spring Eyes, 20 small Spring Eyes, and cut off countless Skru spiritual energy transports.
However, Prime Minister Cao Cao discovered a problem during the continuous battles — as the duration of the battle drags on, the power of the [The Hilt of the Sword of Many Precepts] gradually decreases.
This was like a flashlight. As the battery gradually drains, the light of the flashlight would dim.
By the seventh day, with the enhancement of the hilt, his strength could only reach the initial stage of the eighth level, a decrease of about 70%.
Fortunately, this sort of strength decrease could still be recovered.
As long as he stopped battling for a long time, the hilt could gradually recover its power after absorbing the energy from the sun.
