"Fang Yu made the wrong choice..."

On Qingyue Island, personnel from the intelligence agency shook their heads slightly and spoke in low voices: "Although he performed well in the first round, in the second round, he clearly suffered from a lack of information."

"He doesn't know that the closer you get to Qingyue Island, the lower the energy level of the seawater, thus reducing the likelihood and strength of star beasts being born..."

"His ability is adequate, but his information-gathering skill is average. It seems his ranking will drop further..."

"From 120th place, it will drop to 140th."

The personnel responsible for ranking the battle strength shook their heads slightly, and then recorded Fang Yu's performance at this moment.

Many people were gloating, while simultaneously breathing a sigh of relief.

This Star Removal Association event attracted a lot of attention, even featuring live streaming.

Besides the cargo ship-level competition where Fang Yu and others participated, there was also a competition on the warship level on the other side.

Through this Star Removal Association, people could see which captains at both the warship level and cargo ship level had potential, and which captains were formidable in battle strength.

It was very much like an e-sports event on Blue Star, full of competitiveness and visual appeal, providing maritime voyagers with the enjoyment of watching a live stream during their dull sea journeys.

Therefore, for many captains, this was a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.

If Fang Yu hogged the limelight and overshadowed popular captains, it would be unacceptable to those captains who had been building their reputations.

Fortunately...

"Hmm?!"

However...at that very moment, everyone widened their eyes, staring blankly at the position of the Salted Fish.

On the deck of the Salted Fish, which was camouflaged through illusion, there quietly emerged a...

Gigantic... cannon!

This cannon barrel stood firmly at the very center of the Salted Fish's deck, its body and barrel were a size larger than an ordinary ship cannon.

Only two sailors with the war talent could connect and operate this ship cannon to activate it.

"Long-Range Cannon?!"

Someone widened their eyes, looking at the Salted Fish with an incredulous gaze.

This damn thing...

The crowd felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.

A medium-sized cargo ship modified with a Long-Range Cannon?! Are you okay?!

This thing's effectiveness in the early stages is actually very minimal when the enchantment level hasn't improved much.

Although the barrel is thick, the artillery's energy level fluctuations are incredibly frightful.

But the Long-Range Cannon requires a long time to charge, and it's easy to miss when aiming at fast-moving, agile targets.

Only after the enchantments and enhancements gradually catch up can the Long-Range Cannon start resolving these drawbacks.

So...

Under normal circumstances, cargo ship captains wouldn't even consider installing a Long-Range Cannon.

This thing has an extremely low cost-effectiveness in the early stages, and firing a shot is cumbersome and has a low tolerance for error.

If it fails to hit the target, it's as if one cannon's capability is wasted for nothing.

No one is willing to modify a cargo ship with a Long-Range Cannon...except for Fang Yu!

At this moment, Fang Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted suddenly as the starlight began to gather and before the star beast was born: "Ma!"

"Got it!"

Ma responded loudly, immediately borrowing Wang Qing's Far-Sighted Talent, sharply observing the final position where the starlight descended.

A large amount of data was provided from Luo Kuan's eyes, processed by Ma's mind, and Ma constantly calculated.

At this moment, he quickly calculated the final position and time of the star beast's birth.

Various factors were also quickly calculated in Ma's mind.

The next moment...

Everyone laid out their plans in advance, filling the Long-Range Cannon's fire early on.

Luo Kuan and another crewmember with the talent for artillery connected to the Long-Range Cannon, following the predictive path and position provided by Ma.

Just as the starlight descended and the seawater was fusing, they fired the Long-Range Cannon towards a specific point 8 nautical miles away.

The cannon fire from the Long-Range Cannon traced a perfect parabola across the sky, and its travel speed, relative to an attack, was not very fast, taking a full 20 seconds to reach the destination of the Long-Range Cannon.

Any sea vessel with the ability for rapid movement could easily evade the impact of this long-range cannon.

But...at the moment the Long-Range Cannon fired, the star beast hadn't fully formed yet and was still a fusion of starlight and seawater.

A surge, taking nearly 10 seconds to fully coagulate.

Yet at that very instant, the Long-Range Cannon seemed to have calculated the timing of the star beast's birth, landing directly on the star beast the moment it appeared.

"Boom!!"

The fearsome power shattered the newborn star beast instantly, completely destroying it before it could even act.

Everyone stared blankly at the Salted Fish, bewildered.

No...wait!

Can it be operated like this?

Without a star beast being born in their own area, they targeted another area with the Long-Range Cannon, hitting just as the star beast hadn't fully formed.

Accurately hitting the star beast, instantly killing it on the spot?

Is this even fair?

Several ordinary captains who had seen a star beast born in their area were internally cursing.

Damn it, they were all ready to get a chance to kill some star beasts.

But then your cannon shot comes over and ruins it for me?

Be a decent person!

The few captains whose star beasts were snatched away were grumbling, but they couldn't really say anything either.

Such is the nature of maritime navigation.
