Hongyan lived up to his status as a soldier directly under the Federation. Once he had made his decision, he did not hesitate at all. After saying those words, he led the survivors toward Base Island at full speed.
Lin Yuan and the Phantom Lin Yuan stayed where they were, waiting for the pursuers who would soon arrive.
"The Federation will remember me forever? Why does that sound so strange?"
On deck, Lin Yuan mulled over what Hongyan had said, feeling rather baffled.
This was also due to the difference in how the two of them thought.
From Hongyan's perspective, since Lin Yuan had needed to use Explore the Sea to kill two Six-Star Priests, that proved his strength was only at the Six-Star level.
With that strength, facing a formidable lineup of one Six-Star and a dozen or so Four- and Five-Stars meant almost certain death.
But he did not know about the properties of Lin Yuan's A-rank Energy.
An ordinary Six-Star S-rank powerhouse would need to expend some effort even against a Four-Star, and might even let the opponent escape with a moment's carelessness.
Thus, as long as the gap did not exceed three stars, numerical superiority was an extremely difficult obstacle to overcome in S-rank battles.
Lin Yuan, however, was different.
Against a hundred thousand points of A-rank Energy, any enemy whose strength fell even slightly short would be killed instantly, without any ability to resist.
Lower-level enemies were nothing but vulnerabilities before Lin Yuan.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was not restricted to using Explore the Sea only once a day.
If I use Fury of Molten Fire, these pursuers won't be a problem at all.
But afterward, there'll be a twenty-four-hour period of danger.
*It would be best to kill these pursuers without using Fury of Molten
