The main cannon fire of that Meteor-class Attack Ship retreated along with Tang Le as he advanced.
Time reversal!
Then the light vanished, and the main cannon fire of the Meteor-class Attack Ship ultimately disappeared back into its barrel.
Under Nan Xuanyu's stunned gaze, Tang Le slowly took a step forward.
He planted one foot on the bow of the Meteor-class Attack Ship.
Eight Golden Dragons suddenly appeared at different points on the Meteor-class Attack Ship.
"Boom..."
The next instant, the eight Golden Dragons struck the Meteor-class Attack Ship.
A thunderous explosion rang out.
The Meteor-class Attack Ship shattered and disintegrated into nothingness.
Nan Xuanyu was deeply shaken.
Tang Le—no, to be precise, Tang Wulin—was so powerful.
By now, his cultivation should have reached the god level.
Nan Xuanyu remembered that ten thousand years ago, when Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena had frozen themselves away, they had already been infinitely close to becoming gods.
After Douluo Star completed its evolution, even without the God Realm's return, humans could still reach the god-level realm.
The upper limit of human Soul Power had risen from level ninety-nine to level one hundred and twenty.
Tang Le glanced back at Nan Xuanyu. Golden light flashed faintly, and he vanished without a trace.
At that very instant, time resumed, and everything seemed to return to normal.
In the distance, a series of explosions erupted amid intense flashes of light.
Under the attacks of the enormous Golden Dragons, the other pirate ships also exploded and shattered one after another, turning into balls of fire that illuminated this starry expanse of space.
Everything inside the spaceship had returned to normal as well.
The entire ship was filled with screams and cheers.
Everyone had been in despair.
Yet unexpectedly, everything had taken a turn.
The appearance of that Golden Dragon had changed everything and defeated all the pirates.
Although no one knew what had happened, no one dwelled on it now.
What mattered most was that everyone had survived.
"Y-you... what exactly is going on with you?"
Le Qingling came before Tang Le and asked haltingly.
She had seen that Golden Dragon clearly just now.
Tang Le sighed softly.
"If I said I didn't know either, would you believe me?"
"After you pulled me out of the sea back then, I lost all my memories.
"That Golden Dragon you just saw was probably my former companion—the soul spirit you told me about.
"Maybe I'm a Soul Master too!"
As he said this, Tang Le became even more confused.
There were too many things he could not remember.
"Then doesn't that mean everyone saw you make a move?"
Le Qingling asked, concern appearing on her face.
Tang Le was hugely famous now.
If people found out, it might cause a sensation.
There could be repercussions.
Tang Le shook his head.
"No. When I acted, I blocked their senses. They couldn't see anything.
"No one will know it was me."
Le Qingling took a deep breath. Just who was this guy?
How could he be so terrifying?
"That's good. Absolutely don't let anyone find out, or you might be taken away and used as an experiment.
"You must remember that you're Young Master Le. You only know how to sing; you're not some powerful Soul Master!"
Le Qingling let out a long breath, marveling inwardly. Could Soul Masters really be this powerful?
Destroying a warship with bare hands.
Terrifying!
Someone as formidable as Tang Le ought to have been a powerhouse admired by all.
Why, after he had debuted for so long, had no one come to claim him?
"Dear passengers, fortunately, everyone is unharmed. I am the captain of this spaceship.
"Our enemies, all the pirates, have been eliminated. We are all safe now.
"Once the Mechas and Starfighters protecting us return, we can continue the rest of our journey."
The ship's broadcast sounded, and another wave of cheers rose throughout the spaceship.
The feeling of surviving a disaster was truly wonderful.
When Nan Xuanyu piloted his Starfighter back into the spaceship, more than a dozen ship staff members stood in formation to welcome him.
Cheers and applause broke out.
Though the change in the situation had been the Golden Dragon's doing,
Nan Xuanyu had also destroyed two pirate Mechas.
And at the critical moment, he had stepped forward. He deserved respect.
"Honored pilot, hello. I am Sun Weiping, the captain of this ship. Thank you..."
The captain was a middle-aged man in his forties. With gratitude all over his face, he personally led the staff in welcoming Nan Xuanyu.
But when he saw Nan Xuanyu, he froze on the spot.
For a moment, he could not say a word.
"Th-this... y-you were that pilot just now?"
Sun Weiping asked, dumbfounded.
He had never expected that the ace pilot who had displayed such skilled and exquisite control just now would be a child.
"Yes! It was me."
Nan Xuanyu replied.
Sun Weiping's first reaction was that it was impossible.
But at that moment, the flight attendant who had earlier brought Nan Xuanyu to the Starfighter hurriedly said,
"Captain, it was him, it was him.
"He said he had learned how to pilot a Starfighter. I was a little scared, so I brought him there..."
Upon hearing the flight attendant's words, shock appeared on Sun Weiping's face again.
At close range, this little fellow was at most twelve years old.
Such a young child could actually pilot a Starfighter?
And he had even destroyed two enemy Mechas.
This was simply unbelievable!
"Um... little fellow, you did wonderfully. On behalf of everyone on this ship, I thank you."
After recovering from his shock, the captain held it in for a while before managing to say that.
"You've rendered great merit this time and will definitely be commended.
"But isn't your courage a little too great for a child?"
The captain and all the staff looked at Nan Xuanyu as though he were some kind of monster.
Their stares made Nan Xuanyu feel a little embarrassed.
"Hehe~ He's shy!"
"Um~ Big sister will take you to find your mother, little fellow. You're amazing!"
The flight attendant who had brought Nan Xuanyu to the Starfighter came to his side, stretched out her slender hand, and took his hand.
Nan Xuanyu nodded, and the two of them walked deeper into the spaceship.
The fragrance wafting from the flight attendant made the tension from piloting the Starfighter in battle melt away at once.
Her soft, boneless hand held his. It was warm, delicate, and wonderfully smooth.
In his previous life, he had never held a flight attendant's little hand.
So this was what it felt like.
This flight attendant was tall and sexy, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old and about one meter seventy in height. She had a striking, curvaceous figure and was a rare beauty.
I really want to keep holding her hand like this.
Several minutes later, accompanied by the flight attendant, Nan Xuanyu arrived before Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng, who were still shaken by fright.
"Baby, you scared Mommy to death!"
When Nan Cheng saw Nan Xuanyu, she quickly crouched down, pulled him into her arms, and burst into tears.
The couple already knew what had happened.
Captain Sun Weiping had personally explained the course of events through the broadcast.
On behalf of everyone, he had thanked Nan Xuanyu, the young hero.
"Son, don't take risks like that again. Even if there's a fight, it should be the adults who go out to fight."
Lan Xiao rubbed his son's head, his face full of relief.
His son was growing too quickly.
He was so outstanding.
He could actually pilot a Starfighter in battle. How old was he?
"Dad, Mom, I only wanted to protect you..."
Nan Xuanyu said as he sat on Nan Cheng's lap.
Those words filled the couple's hearts with warmth.
