"......"
The moment the fog enveloped the arena, the navigators who had previously been dismissive now felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
[Yunlongwang] was already famous before the [World Championship].
They were somewhat wary of this move, the [Cloud Dragon Domain].
"【Dragon Tail Swing】!!!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
Fifth on the list, the tail of the [Rope Boat] was swinging faster and faster. Inside the dark [Captain's Cabin], filled with strange ropes, a bald man with tattoos all over his face was squinting and staring at what was behind him.
"Zheng Yunlong..."
"Give up!"
"Those who live in small sea areas are destined to have no hope!"
"I used to be just like you, always thinking I was different, always thinking I could make a name for myself... But what was the result? What about talent, effort, and skills? In the end, I was still crushed by the superior talent and ship girls that the powerful families were born with?"
"Learn the art of dragon slaying, then sell it to the imperial family..."
"This is... the tragedy of us little people!"
Marus remained calm; he had already mastered the [Dragon Tail Sweep] technique to an unparalleled degree.
The frequent swishing of the stern had already blocked three-quarters of the course behind. He had set off for the World Championship earlier than Zheng Yunlong, and he had also learned about the background of the "Big Family" much earlier.
Ordinary people can only watch as those born with [S-rank ship girls] and [S-rank talents] rampage through the battlefield.
so...
It's not so bad to face the truth sooner rather than later and sell yourself into the "big family"!
"Let's face the facts sooner rather than later..."
"See it clearly sooner rather than later—"
[Captain's Cabin] On countless hanging ropes, a ship's woman with long hair obscuring her face hangs like a ghost, constantly weaving between the ropes...
Marus was already used to it.
He kept his eyes fixed on the movements behind him, completely absorbed!
but!
"You are you! I am me!"
"Only I know the path I must take!"
"I will not lose! My pride and talent, my unwavering integrity, will not let me stop here!!!"
"Boom—"
Amidst the clouds and mist, a burning flame flickered eerily and hurtled towards them!
Like a fiery dragon dancing wildly amidst billowing white steam, she wasn't charging recklessly. Instead, just as the rope boat finished its tail-whipping maneuver, she emerged from the obscure left side of the mist, immediately accelerating and rushing towards the left side of the rope boat!
Like a fiery serpent lurking in wait!
We captured this moment!
"Whoosh—"
After a sudden flash of crimson fire, Marus felt a bright red light on his face, a heat in his left arm, and a fire dragon flashed past his eyes!
"this..."
"This is...this is the Cloud Dragon Domain?"
"The white fog obscures our vision, making it impossible to determine his location. Is he waiting for an opportunity to lie in wait within the fog, ready to overtake us in an instant when the time is right?!"
"This guy..."
"This guy?!"
His pupils contracted sharply!
But this is far from over!
In the flickering light of the fire!
In the captain's cabin of the Fire Cloud, Zheng Yunlong stared at the numbers floating on the helm in his hand, his face solemn!
[Fire Cloud - Overclocking in Progress]
[Propeller speed: 82 > 164]
[Bend stability: 85>170]
[Sail mast wind capacity: 80 > 160]
[Durability: 88 > 176]
[Anchor stability: 84 > 168]
[Range: 90 > 180]
[Overall rating of the ship girl: A+]
Even with overclocking enabled, the Fire Cloud's stats were barely good enough to catch the eye of those big families.
With a thunderous roar and fierce flames, the [Fire Cloud] maintained its speed, seemingly poised to charge straight at the [Royal Power], which was in fourth place!
However...
"snort--"
"What 'ship skills'?"
"Just a cheap trick to attract attention!"
"[Nine vehicles driving together]!!!"
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
Amidst the ethereal clouds, the golden [Royal Power] instantly split into eight [Prince] ships, forming a "3", "3", "3" array that covered the entire shipping route, completely blocking the way!
Nine vehicles drove together.
Rumor has it that a certain elder from Croatia is capable of using this move.
What a coincidence!
More than a decade ago at this time, this veteran was still competing and was also in this match!
Damn it!
"Sizzle—"
With his path blocked, Zheng Yunlong had no choice but to abruptly cancel [Overclock]. As the [Yunlong Domain] slowly dissipated, he found himself in fifth place on the clear sea, stuck behind numerous [Prince Ships], utterly defeated!
Marus is right!
Many times, you just can't do anything about those big families!
This is a chasm, a gap that exists from birth.
"Fifth for now?"
Zheng Yunlong didn't think much of it, but turned to look at the last ship, the [Shattered Star]. It really was traveling at a speed of [100], stuck in the last position without moving an inch.
Nobody knows what she's up to!
"Hello!"
"I only managed to overtake the ship with such difficulty at 164 revolutions! You want to start at 100 revolutions? How can you possibly beat the opponent's drift at 100 revolutions? And you're not even using your talents or skills?"
"You...did you come here specifically for this? Do you really have to call me 'Dad'?"
Zheng Yunlong doesn't understand!
Why haven't they taken any action yet?
Even if he had just used his [Cloud Dragon Domain], he could probably have just run over here!
Can...
"So this is your [Cloud Dragon Domain]..."
"I see..."
"Fire dragons and smoke?"
Looking at the most authentic version of [Cloud Dragon Domain], Zheng Hao felt a pang of emotion: "My father was quite the genius back in the day..."
"That's really interesting..."
"Zheng Hao, why do I feel like you're the one sailing the boat in the mirror image?"
[Shattered Star] stared intently at the [Fire Cloud] ahead.
Zheng Hao curled his lip: "Nonsense! Otherwise, how could they be father and son? It would be strange if they weren't, right?"
"【Analyzing the Tassius database...】"
"Currently, there are various ways to overtake a ship, such as razor-sharp overtaking or whirlwind maneuvers..."
"[The former has a cost probability of 89%, while the latter has a probability of 100%!]"
Rowling's eyes flashed with the chip's analysis. She was about to say something when Zheng Hao made his choice before she could: "Watch closely! Lord Cloud Dragon King, this junior's self-created [Ship Technique]!"
"[Whirlwind]...[Wild Dance]!!!!"
