Chapter 50: Scouring the Ruins

Elite Training Camp trainee Zhou Yang has already broken through to a being beyond the War God level, and will soon assume the position of the sixth Patrol Envoy of Jixian Wuguan.

This brief piece of news spread across Earth like a gust of wind.

For a moment, all the various powers, including the five great human nations, erupted in a frenzy!

They were shocked not only because Jixian Wuguan gained another Patrol Envoy, but also because of Zhou Yang's breakthrough itself.

After all, he's still so young!

If I'm not mistaken, he's just turned 19 this week, right?

A 19‑year‑old council‑level powerhouse—simply excessively youthful!

With a young powerhouse like that, who can guarantee he won't become another Hong or Lei Shen in the future!

"Make friends, you must get along well with this week's Patrol Envoy!"

"Councilor Jia, we beg you to go personally and convey our goodwill."

All the factions, including the five great human nations, promptly issued a series of orders.

"By the way, that young Patrol Envoy hasn't married yet, so bring all the marriage‑eligible children in the family; I will personally take them to attend the Patrol Envoy's inauguration ceremony!"

Some even devised a more indirect courting plan, contacting Zhou Yang's parents directly.

"Brother Zhou, hello, I'm Old Wang from the north; I heard your child is still single?"

"Hey, what a coincidence! I'm single too—pfft! My daughter is also single, why not let them meet?"

"Sister Wang, your skin care is really great."

"Daughter, quickly call Aunt Wang; whether you can start calling me 'mom' depends on your own skill."

For an entire week, not only Zhou Yang himself but also his father Zhou Yong and mother Wang Shumei were bombarded repeatedly.

Both acquaintances and strangers visited enthusiastically, each with a very pleasant attitude, making the family feel too embarrassed to get angry.

The gifts these visitors brought are countless; just the number of young women who came to his house was at least dozens.

In the end, even mother Wang Shumei couldn't stand the spectacle and was directly turned.

"Yangyang, look at those girls—why don't you pick one from inside? You're not a kid anymore."

"Ah, Mom, stop it; did you leak my new number again? I already have a dozen missed calls now."

"Um, I think that little girl from the Li family looks decent."

"Enough, Mom, I'm hanging up, shutting down."

The annoying situation persisted for nearly a week,

until finally, on May 25th,

After handling the inauguration ceremony prepared by Jixian Wuguan, Zhou Yang shut down all communication devices and plunged straight into the endless wilderness.

In the wilderness, Zhou Yang's figure streaked across the sky like a flash of light.

"Babata, how's Luo Feng's recent Soul Seal practice, has he entered the basics yet?"

During the flight, Zhou Yang quickly communicated with Babata in his mind.

"How could it be that fast!"

Upon hearing that, Babata instantly flared up.

"Zhou Yang, I'm telling you, you kid are underestimating the Soul Seal Secret Technique; it's the core secret of our Yunmo Star lineage!"

"Do you think everyone has a mentor to refine a hereditary Soul Seal assistance like you do?"

"I was just asking, why the excitement?"

Zhou Yang gave a helpless smile and casually instructed,

"You must urge Luo Feng to master this Soul Seal Secret Technique quickly; later it might be useless!"

"Got it, you've told me countless times already."

Babata muttered impatiently,

"I'm temporarily holding back this kid, not letting him use Woodling Crystal to breakthrough; he's only at Apprentice Level, his total Spiritual Thought Power is low, so the conversion into Yunmo Star lineage's unique Spiritual Thought Power can be a bit faster."

"Hmm, you do have foresight."

Zhou Yang offered a small flattery, which lifted the mood of that little demon in a black robe.

Immediately after, Zhou Yang asked again,

"By the way, how's the arrangement for you to monitor those marine creatures?"

When he returned from the Australian continent, he reminded Babata to help watch the movements in the Endless Ocean.

If I recall correctly, the Golden Horned Beast first appeared in the Endless Ocean.

If we can locate it in the early incubation stage, both capture and soul‑stealing will be much easier.

Of course, he didn't mention the Golden Horned Beast for now, only said to guard against the two Beast Emperors in the ocean.

Babata didn't think much and replied lightly.

"It's being handled; I've finished processing the first batch of nanometer‑sensing robots these past few days, and they're already being released into the ocean in batches; they should disperse throughout the ocean soon.

Once they're set up, they'll easily monitor all life signatures exceeding Planet Level in the ocean."

"Reliable!"

Zhou Yang gave him another thumbs‑up.

He chatted casually with Babata in his mind while piloting the arc blade disc at high speed.

Soon, his figure descended into a hidden mountain hollow.

As Zhou maneuvered the arc blade disc to cut swiftly, the slope on one side of the hollow crumbled easily like tofu.

Boom—

Huge boulders continuously tumbled down, and dust filled the air everywhere.

When the dust finally cleared, a fragment of a silver‑gray warship wreckage appeared in his sight.

"Babata, scan it and see if there's anything usable."

"Got it!"

Babata replied, and an invisible wave quickly drifted out from the intelligent wristband on Zhou Yang's left hand.

Before long, Babata's voice rang out.

"This should be a reconnaissance ship of a Small Universe fleet, but it's too badly damaged—only half remains, so I doubt there's much that can be used."

Babata spoke in a disdainful tone.

"Most of the valuable relics on Earth have already been looted by your various human factions."

"According to my analysis, only relic No. 1 and relic No. 12 among the Three Great Forbidden Lands you mentioned might yield something."

"Relic No. 1 and No. 12."

Zhou Yang cross‑referenced the list of relics in his mind and quickly matched the numbers.

Relic No. 1 is shaped like a massive silver pyramid; it should be the Mechanical Race ship recorded in the original work, located in the Bermuda Forbidden Land.

That Mechanical Race ship is intact, and its grade even reaches e‑level, making it a treasure in the eyes of Immortal‑Level masters.

Unfortunately, his power is too low right now, so he cannot yet breach the ship's protective system to enter.

Moreover, even if he could get his hands on it now, he wouldn't dare use it openly.

Think about it: if a low‑profile Planet Level youngster reveals that he possesses an e‑level Mechanical Assembly ship, what consequences would follow?

He'd probably be killed or robbed in an instant!

As for relic No. 12, he recalls that it seems to contain a complete X81‑type Black Dragon Mountain ship.

However, the ship is equipped with a self‑destruction program; once breached, it will trigger self‑destruction.

In the original work, Babata used massive data‑stream attacks to directly destroy the Black Dragon Mountain ship's intelligent system, which allowed it to be preserved as intact as possible.

Later, after a long period of repair, it regained its flight capability.

"The Black Dragon Mountain ship in relic No. 12 is indeed the best choice, but going there now is still somewhat risky."

Relic No. 12 lies in the Endless Ocean deep within the Atlantic.

And during this period, the two great Beast Emperors in the ocean are still alive.

Those two Beast Emperors are at least Planet Level sixth tier or higher, their strength is greatly amplified in the ocean, and they command a multitude of King‑level sea monsters.

Zhou Yang now truly dares not provoke them.

"But once I raise my power to above Planet Level third tier, those two Beast Emperors should no longer be a concern!"

Zhou Yang silently contemplated this in his heart.

With Life Yuan Power and Wood Sprite Crystal assistance, his cultivation speed is truly a thousand miles a day.

Reaching Planet Level third tier shouldn't take much time.

Then, relying on the Arc Blade Disk and the Yunmo Star Secret Technique, slaying the two Planet Level sixth‑seventh tier Beast Emperors should pose little difficulty.

"Then it's settled; quickly raise my realm to above Planet Level third tier."

"Also gather more battle‑ship wreckage, parts, and such; they'll probably be useful when repairing that Black Dragon Mountain ship!"
