Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Test Driving the Flying Artifact

All the people boarded the flying battleship, and Ye Lingtian, who had come to the cockpit, imprinted his Divine Sense and then placed the Spirit Stone into the slot.

"Click, click."

In an instant, all the lights on the battleship turned on, and a virtual screen appeared in front of Ye Lingtian. Even without a windshield, he could see the scenery outside the battleship through the virtual screen in front of him.

Suddenly, a charming and gentle voice sounded.

"Congratulations, Master, on activating the Cosmic No.1 Battleship."

"Who, who are you?" Ye Lingtian asked in a panic as he looked around and found no sign of a woman.

"Master, I am the battleship’s AI, Xiaohui. Please, do not be alarmed," the voice responded.

"Oh, so it’s the battleship AI’s voice. I thought there was a ghost or something." Ye Lingtian wiped off the sweat and muttered to himself.

"So, AI Xiaohui, I want to take the ship for a test drive, how do I take off?" Ye Lingtian raised his voice and asked.

"Master, please just call me Xiaohui. I don’t like it when people call me AI."

"Uh..."

"My God, this is too intelligent."

"Giggle..."

AI Xiaohui chuckled, "Master, please don’t forget, I was designed by Professor Zhou and forged by Yan Sect Leader as a top-grade Spiritual Artifact’s Artifact Spirit. Of course, besides not having a Spiritual Body, I am the smartest Artifact Spirit in this world right now."

"Okay, fine, Xiaohui, but what exactly do I need to do to start the battleship?" Ye Lingtian was feeling rather confused.

"Master, you just need to give me an order, and if Master wishes to learn about the battleship’s other functions, Xiaohui can introduce them to you right now."

"Master, the Cosmic No.1 Battleship is made of..."

"Stop!"

Ye Lingtian took a moment to compose himself before saying, "Xiaohui, I’ll ask about the battleship’s functions later. Right now, I just want to test drive this battleship. Take off."

"As you command, Master."

The battleship emitted a ray of light and "whooshed" away, vanishing into the sky above the base.

"This is awesome, so fast! The flying artifact forged by Instructor Yan is truly thrilling to pilot," Ye Lingtian exclaimed excitedly.

"Lingtian, compared to Sword Flight, how do you feel flying a flying artifact battleship?" Professor Zhou Shuhua asked with a smile beside Ye Lingtian.

"There’s no comparison. With this, I, Ye Lingtian, am never using Sword Flight again," Ye Lingtian replied with excitement.

Engrossed in his conversation with Professor Zhou Shuhua, Ye Lingtian didn’t notice that they had already flown into another country’s airspace.

"Beep beep, beep beep..."

"Attention all hands, attention all hands..."

"Three unidentified flying objects are approaching the outskirts of the ship, the defensive system is now activated, Master, do you wish to activate the attack system..." AI Xiaohui’s voice echoed inside the battleship.

Just as Ye Lingtian was about to give an order, he heard Professor Zhou say, "AI Xiaohui, do not activate the battleship’s attack system."

"Mr. Zhou, I’m sorry, Xiaohui only obeys Master Ye Lingtian and cannot comply with your instructions. I hope you understand."

"Heh!"

Professor Zhou chuckled coldly, "Who would have thought that the battleship I designed would actually not listen to me."

"Professor Zhou... I’m sorry. Theoretically, although I was designed by you, Xiaohui can only obey the commands of the first person who activated me."

"Professor Zhou, why shouldn’t we attack?" Ye Lingtian asked.

"We may have entered another country’s airspace," Professor Zhou said worriedly.

Ye Lingtian knew very well the consequences; to attack upon intruding into another country’s airspace would be equivalent to declaring war.

Knowing the implications, Ye Lingtian then asked, "Xiaohui, where are we now?"

"Reporting to master, we are currently above Japan," came the reply.

"The airspace of the devils," Ye Lingtian’s eyes flashed with a trace of murderous intent.

"Everyone turn on the Spiritual Energy Protection Shield, Xiaohui, crash into the son of a—," Ye Lingtian roared.

"Master, Xiaohui doesn’t understand, why should we hit his mother?"

"Uh..."

Ye Lingtian’s face was filled with black lines as he said helplessly, "You just claimed you were smart. ’Hit his mother’ doesn’t literally mean to hit his mother..."

"Master, who then should we hit?"

"Pfft."

Ye Lingtian was so angry he nearly vomited blood and shouted, "Crash into those three unidentified flying objects, take down as many as you can."

"As you command."

"Boom boom!"

"Master, two have been hit and one has escaped. Should we pursue?" Xiaohui reported the battle achievements and asked.

"Xiaohui, what did you just say? We hit two of them and we’re fine?" Ye Lingtian couldn’t believe it and asked.

"Master, don’t forget that our battleship is a Spiritual Artifact designed by Professor Zhou and forged by Yan Sect Leader. How could the flying artifacts of the Mortal World compare to our battleship?" Xiaohui said boastfully.

"If that’s the case, then why aren’t you chasing it down and crashing into it?" Ye Lingtian said fiercely.

"As you command."

"Boom..."

The third Japanese warplane had also been destroyed by the Cosmic Battleship Ye Lingtian was piloting; the pilot inside didn’t even have time to parachute.

"Master, the task has been perfectly completed."

"Ha ha..."

"Today is so thrilling. Xiaohui, I’ll credit you for a merit," Ye Lingtian laughed and said.

"Thank you for the praise, Master."

Professor Zhou also couldn’t suppress the joy in his heart. He hadn’t expected the ship’s capabilities to be so powerful; just by ramming the Japanese warplanes, they could scatter them, and the ship itself didn’t sustain any damage.

"Xiaohui."

"Mr. Zhou, do you have a question?"

Zhou Shuhua slowly said, "Xiaohui, I heard from Instructor Yan that the battleship is hundreds of times faster than the speed of sound. Could you demonstrate how long it would take to circle the Earth once?"

"That’s no problem, Xiaohui will now travel at maximum speed for you."

Just as Professor Zhou was about to ask Xiaohui why she wasn’t listening to his orders, he heard Xiaohui’s voice in his ear.

"Mr. Zhou, we have already circled the Earth once."

"What?"

"This is unbelievable, we’ve arrived instantly," Zhou Shuhua said in amazement.

"I told you it’s hundreds of times the speed of sound; this is considered slow," Artifact Spirit Xiaohui said in a coy voice.

"Ha ha..."

Ye Lingtian laughed loudly, "Xiaohui, take me to the other side of the Earth for a spin."

"As you command."

"We’ve arrived at the other side of the Earth. Do you have any instructions, Master?"

"Wait here, and the moment you spot an unidentified flying object, crash the hell out of it."

"Master, Xiaohui understands; crashing the hell out of it means just crashing into it, right?"

"You’re smart."

So went Ye Lingtian, stopping and going around the globe, crashing hundreds of warplanes before he stopped. Ye Lingtian’s actions caused panic among various countries, but they could only recognize their losses. Without finding out the reason, they would certainly not make it public.

It seemed Ye Lingtian wasn’t fully content, so he asked, "Xiaohui, can we go into outer space?"

"Reporting to Master, we can, but only as far as the Moon."

"That’s far enough, let’s take a trip into outer space," Ye Lingtian commanded.

"As you command."

"Master, we have reached outer space, please give your orders."

"Take down all of Japan’s artificial satellites," Ye Lingtian ordered with severity.

"As you command."

"Attention, the battleship has activated its offensive attack system and locked onto all targets. The battleship has launched Spiritual Energy attack waves. All targets have suffered fatal hits. The mission is complete. Please instruct, Master," Xiaohui’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

"Xiaohui, nicely done. I’ll record a merit for you."

"Ha ha..."

Ye Lingtian laughed heartily.

"Thank you for the praise, Master. Xiaohui not only does a splendid job, but she is also very cute..."

"Er..."
