Transmission

The Ninth-Order Grandmaster youth shook his head. "This Star Boat is no ordinary Star Boat. Its protective compartments are exceptionally sturdy. We must launch a sustained, all-out attack for ten minutes, otherwise we absolutely cannot break through this defense."

"Why go through all that trouble!"

The flamboyant female Star Bandit said, "Yu Zhaolong must have transferred the authority over the Star Boat to an accompanying guide. Why not just find that person and have him unlock the protective pod?"

As she spoke, the flamboyant woman immediately ordered her several Grandmaster Martial Artist to search one by one.

Before long, the group of Star Bandit found the person in charge of guiding the Star Boat and brought him before the flamboyant woman.

"Young Miss, it's him!"

"Oh?"

The flamboyantly dressed woman approached the guide. "We, Blood Shadow, received some advance information, including your details. Your name is Wan Feng, right?"

"Blood Shadow Star Bandit, how dare you plunder Star Boat from Canglong Star? Don't you know how many Star Bandit gangs like yours have been wiped out on Canglong Star in the past ten years?"

"Don't waste your breath. Canglong Star can't scare us. I now demand that you open the protective pod and transfer control of the Star Boat to me."

You surely know that things have come to this point, and we're determined to hijack this Star Boat. We've made thorough preparations, and the Starfield Army can't possibly arrive in time. If you submit to us, I can give you a chance to join us; from now on, you'll be one of our own.

I remember that Canglong Star has strict laws, which led to the abduction of more than twenty of the most outstanding young geniuses from other planets during the pilgrimage. You will not escape death even if you return to Canglong Star, so you might as well join us."

"Don't even dream about it. Even if I die, I will never associate with you band of Star Bandit!"

Wan Feng snorted coldly.

He still has a family on Canglong Star. If he joins the Star Bandit, he will be considered a traitor, and his entire family will not have a good ending. If he dies in battle, at least his family will be properly taken care of.

Moreover, as people of the Upper Three Stars, they naturally look down on these Star Bandit drifters who live by plunder and have no fixed abode. How could they possibly join Star Bandit gang?

"Good, that's got guts!"

The flamboyant woman sneered, "Drag her away and behead her!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, several Star Bandit Grandmaster immediately led the guides out.

The young Grandmaster at the Ninth-Order Yuan Gang Realm frowned and said, "So, the only option is a direct attack?"

Give me ten minutes, and I'll try my best to break through the Star Boat.

"No need, brother. Have you forgotten that my Mental Power has already reached the Eighth-Order Grandmaster Realm?"

I could try to use my Mental Power to simulate the life magnetic fields of Yu Zhaolong and Wan Feng, trick the Star Boat's Optical Computer, and take control of the Star Boat.

This Star Boat must have the Canglong Star's positioning system. Once I obtain access to the Star Boat Star Boat, we'll pilot it out of here to avoid the Starfield Army arriving.

Once we arrive at the new location, we will transfer these people to our Star Constellation.

"Then give it a try!"

The flamboyant woman immediately used her divine sense to simulate Yu Zhaolong's life magnetic field and issued commands to the Star Boat's Optical Computer.

Suddenly, an alarm began flashing inside the Star Boat.

The flamboyant woman immediately frowned. "It's a failure!"

"What happened?" the young Grandmaster asked.

"This Optical Computer's recognition capabilities are far superior to those of ordinary Star Boat; I can't fool it!"

"Then what should we do?"

"I'll try brute force again, using my Mental Power to directly invade the Star Boat's Optical Computer and seize control of the Star Boat."

"Alright, try to be as fast as you can. I'm afraid the Sixth Interstellar Allied Forces, the closest force to here, can arrive in about half an hour. That would be troublesome."

The flamboyant woman hummed in agreement, then transformed her Grandmaster- level Mental Power into countless streams, invading the Star Boat's Optical Computer from multiple angles, including intelligent recognition and Star Boat permissions.

At that moment, the Star Boat sounded an alarm.

"Alarm! Alarm! Unknown Mental Power detected invading the Star Boat's Optical Computer. Optical Computer fire shield activated..."

"Multiple external Mental Power intrusions detected; the first line of defense has been breached - (1/1000)..."

"The 100th firewall has been breached - (100/1000)..."

"The 500th firewall has been breached - (500/1000)..."

Those from the central and Eastern Star Region who didn't have time to enter the safe zone have all been taken into custody by the Star Bandit.

Those inside the safe cabin panicked upon hearing the alarm from the Star Boat's Optical Computer.

"What can we do? There's Mental Power Grandmaster among the Star Bandit, and they're using their Mental Power to invade the Star Boat's Optical Computer!"

"If the Star Boat's Optical Computer is successfully hacked, wouldn't a single command from them automatically activate this safe pod? What's the point of hiding here?"

"It's over, it's all over..."

Chen Lie used his Mental Power to probe outwards and indeed saw a female Mental Power Grandmaster, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, using her Mental Power to invade the Optical Computer, trying to seize control of the Star Boat.

High-level Divine Sense Master can be considered the nemesis of such advanced intelligence, capable of directly seizing control of Star Boat through violent intrusion and deceptive simulation.

Once control is taken away, it's as if this Star Boat has changed hands.

The Star Bandit will simply drive their Star Boat away, without bothering with the people hiding in the safe cabin.

Just when everyone was filled with fear and unease, a voice rang out.

"I've got an idea! There's hope! There's hope!"

At that moment, a boy of about seventeen years old suddenly shouted.

"Who is that? Are you scared out of your wits?"

"I do know this person. He's from Heavy Rain Star in the Central Star Region, named Hou Yutan. He couldn't possibly be scared out of his wits. Does he really have a way?"

"Let's go take a look!"

People around him gathered around Hou Yutan, who was shouting.

A person from the same star as Heavy Rain Star asked, "Hou Yutan, do you have any ideas?"

Hou Yutan said, "When I came from Heavy Rain Star, my mother brought me a piece of military Black Obsidian."

This Black Obsidian belongs to the military of Heavy Rain Star. Within a radius of 200,000 star miles, if another piece of Black Obsidian is detected, the Black Obsidian will flash with black light.

I remember that Heavy Rain Star is conducting a month-long star war exercise. From our location, we are definitely less than 200,000 star miles away from the Heavy Rain Star Combat Army. We can request the Star-War Army to come and rescue us.

"From two hundred thousand stars, they can reach their destination in Star Boat in a maximum of ten minutes."

"That's right. I remember your maternal grandfather was the commander of the Heavy Rain Star Combat Army, leading 200,000 elite Star-War Army. There's nothing wrong with your mother giving you the military's exclusive Black Obsidian. Quickly send a message to let the Star-War Army come to our rescue!" said the Heavy Rain Star person.

"I just tried it out. This Star Boat has the ability to block Mental Power. It's probably because my Mental Power level is too low that I can't use the Black Obsidian to penetrate the Star Boat and send out the distress message!"

"Whoever has the highest level of Mental Power, quickly try it out. I'll tell you how to use the Black Obsidian. If we're too late, before the Star-War Army arrive, we might fall victim to the Star Bandit!" Hou Yutan said.

"Listen up, everyone inside the protective chamber! Who's Divine Sense Master? Come help quickly, we need high-level Divine Sense Master!"

The people of Heavy Rain Star began to call for help, and the Divine Sense Master on the star also tried to send messages using Black Obsidian, but their Mental Power could not penetrate the Star Boat.

"No, this Star Boat isolates Mental Power. My peak second-tier Mental Power is simply not enough to penetrate the Black Obsidian's information Leaving the Star's body."

After trying it out, the Divine Sense Master on Heavy Rain Star shook their heads and gave up, then began to seek help from other planets.

"I am Third-Rank Divine Sense Master, let me give it a try!"

At this moment, a short-haired boy from the Central Star Region stepped out.

"Okay, give it a try, and I'll tell you how to use Black Obsidian!" Hou Yutan nodded.

The short-haired boy took the Black Obsidian and began trying to use his Mental Power to penetrate the Star Boat's hull and send out a message for help.

After two attempts, the young man shook his head and said, "No, I failed. The material of this Star Boat is extraordinary; Mental Power simply cannot penetrate it."

"Are there any other Divine Sense Master with higher Mental Power? Please come out and help us! This concerns the lives of all of us!"

The people of Heavy Rain Star shouted again.

At this moment, a young girl dressed in Ancient Garments, wearing a long black dress, walked out.

"I am from Shahua Star in the Central Star Region, Late Third-Rank Divine Sense Master. Let me give it a try!"

" From Shahua Star? Late-stage Tier 3? Then you should give it a try!"

Hou Yutan gave the Black Obsidian to the girl in the black dress and explained how to use it.

The girl in the black dress followed the method, using all her Mental Power in an attempt to transmit the message about the Black Obsidian.

But less than a moment later, she shook her head. "The main material of the Star Boat isolates my Mental Power; messages simply cannot be transmitted. I have failed!"

"Late Third-Rank Divine Sense Master isn't enough?"

Hou Yutan's heart sank, and he asked, "Among the friends present, has anyone broken through to the fourth level of Mental Power?"

After Hou Yutan finished asking his question, everyone around him fell silent.

"The late stage of the third level of Mental Power is already beyond the standard. We are all freshmen of Starry Sky University. How could anyone be Fourth-Rank Divine Sense Master?" said the person from Heavy Rain Star next to him.

"Damn it, we finally had a glimmer of hope, but the distress message can't get through? Are we just supposed to wait to die?"

Enraged, Hou Yutan threw the Black Obsidian to the ground with a loud thud.

At this moment, Chen Lie walked over from the gathering place in the Eastern Star Region, picked up the Black Obsidian that had been thrown on the ground, and said to Hou Yutan, "I have a way to send the message out. Tell me how to use the Black Obsidian!"

Hou Yutan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly stepped forward, saying, "May I ask your name, friend? Which star are you from? And what level is your Mental Power?"

"Eastern Star Region, Blue Star, named Chen Lie, Second-Rank Divine Sense Master, mid-stage."

As soon as Chen Lie opened his mouth, the people from the surrounding planets in the Central Star Region began to reprimand him.

"Are you fucking messing around? Even Late Third-Rank Divine Sense Master failed, what kind of solution do you have?"

"Yes, a Second-Rank Divine Sense Master on Fringe Star Domain planet is equivalent to First-Rank Divine Sense Master on Central Star Region planet. Are you kidding us?"

"Everyone, don't rush to blame us. At this point, we have no choice but to try anything."

Hou Yutan waved his hand to stop the surrounding people from scolding him, and asked, "Brother, how can you, a Second-Rank Divine Sense Master, transmit a message through the Star Boat?"

"You saw it too, right? Even that Late Third-Rank Divine Sense Master from Shahua Star failed."

Chen Liedao, "My special ability as Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit is that I can penetrate any substance that isolates Mental Power."

"What?! There's this kind of useless Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit ability?" Hou Yutan exclaimed upon hearing this.

"But brother, although your Consciousness Spirit ability is usually useless, it can be a lifesaver now. I'll tell you how to use Black Obsidian for communication..."

Hou Yutan taught Chen Lie how to use the Black Obsidian, then said, "Give it a try!"

"No rush. According to you, this Star-War Army is the army of your Heavy Rain Star. If I rashly teleport, the Heavy Rain Star army may not take it seriously."

Those of you from Heavy Rain Star were admitted to Starry Sky University this time, those with prominent status, backgrounds, and strong family backgrounds, please come forward and state your names.

"We need to make sure that the moment the Heavy Rain Star military sees your names, they know the seriousness of the situation and rush here immediately."

"That makes sense. Let me start. My name is Hou Yutan. My grandfather is Hou Tingzhu, a planetary councilor, and my maternal grandfather is Lu Junwu, the commander of the Star-War Army. And so on!"

A girl stepped forward and said, "My name is Zao Yunyun, and my father is Heavy Rain Star Suifeng, the Foreign Minister of Zao Suifeng."

"My name is Zhuang Shutong. My grandfather was the previous global Administrator Heavy Rain Star, Zhuang Xinggan."

Heavy Rain Star reported their backgrounds, and Chen Lie noted them all down and then entered the information into the Black Obsidian.

He used his divine sense to guide his spiritual power, then penetrated the Star Boat's hull, transmitting Black Obsidian's message and adding a final line: 'The people of Heavy Rain Star are in imminent danger after being robbed by Star Bandit. The Star-War Army is urged to come to their rescue upon receiving this message.'

After the Black Obsidian sent its message, a flash of black light appeared.

Upon seeing this, Hou Yutan quickly asked, "The Black Obsidian is reacting, buddy. Did you send out the help message?"

"It's already been sent," Chen Liedao.

"Great! As soon as the message is sent, the Star-War Army will receive it immediately and lock onto our location. I just don't know how long the protective pod can hold out."

Brother, this time it really depends on you!

Everyone inside the protective pod breathed a sigh of relief, praying that the Heavy Rain Star army would arrive before the Star Bandit breached the pod.

At this moment, the alarms on the Star Boat Optical Computer sounded incessantly.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

An unknown Mental Power has been detected that has broken through the nine hundredth fireproof shield.

The Star Boat is unmanned and unable to actively resist the intrusion of external Mental Power!

It is estimated that the external Mental Power will break through all the fireproof shields within two minutes...

"What? Two minutes? This is terrible! No matter how fast the Star-War Army are, they can't get here in two minutes!"

Upon hearing the Star Boat Alarm, the group of Starry Sky University freshmen felt a chill in their hearts.

Chen Lie tossed the Black Obsidian to Heavy Rain Star Hou Yutan, then returned to the Blue Star team.

Hey bro, where are you going?

Seeing Chen Lie suddenly turn and leave, Hou Yutan immediately pressed him for an answer.

Chen Lie did not respond to Hou Yutan, but went directly to the Blue Star team.

He summoned Jiang Yuan, Zuo Yuan'er, Hao Yulong, and others, saying, "I am about to do something very important. You all surround me and protect me. Do not let anyone disturb me."

Although Jiang Yuan, Zuo Yuan'er, and the others found it strange, they did not press for details but simply nodded in response.
