Battleships were once the preferred choice of navies around the world, but unfortunately, they haven’t adapted well to modern warfare and have gradually retired from the historical stage.
However, heavy armor and huge cannons will forever be the greatest romance of n.
A few hours later, Lu Yao arrived at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on the Ping An, where the "Missouri Battleship" had been mothballed after its retirent.
It was Lu Yao’s first visit and he had thought that there so difficulties might arise, such as "the security asures for a retired naval ship" and the like.
But upon arrival, he found there were no such security asures at all.
This steel fortress, as tall as a 20-story building, 270 ters in length, and displacing over 40,000 tons, could now be visited and photographed for just 35 dollars...
Lu Yao put on sunglasses and bought a ticket to go up for a visit.
He took a good tour around, feeling as if he were inspecting his own territory, and overall, he was quite satisfied.
The "Missouri" was equipped with three triple-gun turrets, each larger than a house, with barrels so wide that Lu Yao could easily crawl inside, and the cannonballs weighed an impressive 1.2 tons each.
"If they were all manned by gunshot experts above the Spirit Embryo Breathing Realm, a volley could perhaps instantly take down soone in the Golden Body Realm."
Moreover, the ship was built during World War II and was first retired in 1955, but to everyone’s surprise, it was called back into service for the Gulf War 30 years later.
Therefore, after its second retirent in 1992, it has been maintained in a state of readiness for battle, ready for the old soldier to be called up once again.
Not only were ammunition, propellant charges, and fuel supplies all in place, but the boilers and engines were also well maintained, ready to be pulled out and set to action at any mont.
After a full round, dusk had unknowingly fallen and the staff began to guide the tourists off the ship.
What ca next was the waiting for the deep of the night.

In the anti, Lu Yao took out his brick-like PDA to check the news online.
He saw that his popularity on the internet remained undiminished, but whereas he was very popular in the country, in the past few days there had been a growing chorus of criticism.
A quick glance was enough to know that much of it was rhythm-driven by the water army who were paid to post.
Currently, Lu Yao’s supporters were engaged in a daily battle of words with this group, resulting in countless bans—
[This Lu Yao is a terrorist. I don’t understand why people still praise him.]
[He has gone to wreak havoc in the Star Alliance Country. So what if he’s a terrorist?]
[This person’s moral standards are extrely low, disappearing when trouble arises and causing the Star Alliance Country to take its anger out on us.]
[It’s a joke. Even without him, the Star Alliance Country would definitely target us.]
Currently, the Foreign Affairs Bureau is frantically searching the world for Lu Yao. The reward has been increased by another 100 million, but they haven’t even seen a hair of him, and they are in a state of frustrated rage.
Being robbed of airplanes from military bases twice is an unimaginable disgrace for the world’s number one power!
Upon reading this, Lu Yao laughed disdainfully, thinking the best was yet to co!
Just then, his phone suddenly rang. Soone was calling, and it was Alexander of all people.
This person knew the rules very well and would never initiate contact under normal circumstances. What’s happening this ti?
"Alexander, what’s up?"
[Lu, here’s the thing, my backer—General Sergey Krivov, wants to et you. He is the Vice Secretary-General of the Yukolun Security Committee and the First Deputy Commander of the Special Operations Forces. He has a big deal to discuss with you.]
Lu Yao replied calmly, "Okay, when?"
[The sooner the better, his health is concerning.]
"I’ve still got sothing to do on my end. I’ll co over for a detailed talk tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao looked out at the pitch-black dock and silently slipped into the sea.

An Innate Grandmaster can hold his breath for one hour, and even breathe underwater.
Lu Yao distinctly felt the acupoints of his governor and conception vessels absorbing oxygen from the sea to supply his body.
Feeling like a fish was very interesting, and Lu Yao swam faster than the fish themselves.
As long as he maintained a reasonable posture, the force of 18,000 jin provided him with surging power, allowing him to shoot through the water like a torpedo.
At this mont, the pitch-black environnt where he couldn’t see his own hands had no effect on Lu Yao; he quietly approached right below the "Missouri Battleship."
The Space-Ti Bubble had a drawback, it can only absorb objects that one touches with their hands.
Moreover, Lu Yao wasn’t completely sure that he could fit such a colossus into it. However, one must try to know for sure.
He reached out to touch the bottom of the ship and activated the Space-Ti Bubble.
The sea transford into a swamp-like substance, slowly engulfing the giant battleship moored above it.
About one minute later, the steel fortress on the sea disappeared without a trace. The waves rolled as if nothing had ever been there.
Lu Yao dived back into the sea and swam away like a torpedo, while the energy of the Star Key plumted by 100%!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having secured a hefty sponsorship, Lu Yao was in a good mood. He rode on Ping An’s back, shooting straight into the skies, headed for Yukolun as agreed.
This ti, he had intended to obtain so powerful trump cards, but surprisingly, the other party took the initiative to offer them.
"General Sergey Krivov must be the big shot who’s always protected Alexander’s arms trade. I hope for a pleasant transaction," he thought.
~~~~~~~~~~
With nothing to do on the way, Lu Yao didn’t waste ti and started cultivating on the back of the Spiritual Sparrowhawk.
Thousands of years ago, the ancestors in Huaxia had discovered that the human body has many special acupoints, which they called "aperture points."
In Western studies, these were seen rely as points where nerve endings and blood vessels densely intersect.
But the people of Huaxia discovered that these organs of the human body had many wondrous functions.
Stimulation by external forces could strengthen the body and treat diseases; while using Inner Breath and True Qi for stimulation could bestow an incredible robust physique, moving mountains and overturning seas was nothing difficult!
The most miraculous part was the presence of natural "pathways" that perfectly connected all acupoints, known as "ridians."
There were twelve on the left, twelve on the right, and the central governor and conception vessels, altogether making twenty-six ridians.
These perfectly enveloped the entire body, connected all acupoints, and naturally cycled with the changes of the twelve-hour periods.
This was as if it were designed for cultivation!
It made one marvel at the wonder of creation, so incredible that the idea of "gods creating humans" has persisted through the ages.
The main task in the Innate Realm was to use True Qi to open the circulatory ridians, refining all the acupoints to form an energy cycle encompassing the entire body.
This is known as "ridian Opening and Aperture Training."
However, the body’s original ridians were too narrow to be used. This required martial artists to constantly stimulate and refine them with Innate True Qi, strengthening and clearing them, much like building a subway with "True Qi" inside the body.
Lu Yao always wanted to achieve Tri-Cultivation, but the ridian route of "Dragon Subduing Palm" was the opposite of the other two Divine Skills.
If the routes were similar, Lu Yao could have managed with fine control in the Spirit Refining State, but being completely opposite posed quite a challenge.
"To reach the limit of Tri-Cultivation, it seems I’ll have to wait until I can refine my spirit and leave my body. Luckily, cultivating the two Divine Skills together is not slow," he pondered.
After researching the matter of cultivation, he unknowingly entered the Yukolun Territory.
