Rumble~
The violent sonic booms kept hammering at Lu Bai's eardrums.
If an ordinary person had been in Lu Bai's current position, it probably wouldn't have taken even a second for their ears to start bleeding and their hearing to fail.
But Lu Bai seemed completely unaffected. No matter how fiercely the wind picked up, he showed no sign of slowing down.
As he rocketed upward at speeds far exceeding the speed of sound, he passed through the troposphere in a flash and entered the stratosphere.
In the stratosphere, where air currents mostly moved horizontally, [Wind Riding] became even more effective. Lu Bai's ascent didn't slow down; if anything, it seemed to get a little faster.
As for the temperature, which was gradually dropping to thirty or forty degrees below zero, he no longer had to worry about it after switching to [Steel Body].
Feeling the temperature around him gradually rise, and seeing the planet take shape before his eyes, Lu Bai realized he was nearly fifty kilometers above the ground. The temperature inversion confirmed it.
Before he knew it, the pressure of ascending had suddenly eased. Lu Bai didn't hesitate. He accelerated and surged all the way to low orbit.
Without a doubt, with nothing blocking his view, he could see the Mona people's interstellar warship at a glance.
It was still a long way off, probably more than two thousand kilometers by his estimate.
Of course, in the vastness of outer space, distances seemed stretched out. Compared to the distance between planets, a few thousand kilometers was practically within reach.
That distance also let Lu Bai clearly see the Mona people's warship in its entirety.
It was a huge cylinder.
The thrusters at the rear didn't look all that hard to understand. At least, they weren't exactly science
