The sky in the Northern Song Dynasty is always so beautiful, day or night.

The sky during the day is clear, not cloudy like the Overworld, and not filled with car exhaust fumes and inhalable particles. The stars in the sky at night are always so bright that they fill the entire night sky, unlike the Overworld, where only a few can be seen.

Li Hao was walking on the deck, and the huge crane arm of the cargo ship looked extraordinarily magnificent under the faint light of the stars and moon.

Coming to the tip of the bow, Li Hao stretched out his hand to hold the barricade, feeling the sea breeze and listening to the sound of the sea water lapping against the hull. It was pitch black all around, and nothing could be seen, except for the stars above that seemed to be so close that they seemed to be touchable when they stretched out.

The Force induction spreads, echoing the sea breeze and undulating with the waves.

Above this sea, far away from the noise of red dust, the whole world except the sky and the sea, there is only one boat and one person. Feeling the ups and downs of the waves, feeling the sea breeze passing by, there seems to be a harmonious rhythm between heaven and earth.

The induction of the Force became unusually clear, and Li Hao could sense every wisp of sea breeze circling and every wave gathering and dispersing. It's all like slow motion, reflected in his mind.

Li Hao seemed to feel something faintly in his heart, and seemed to have a hint of inspirational experience, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't grasp anything.

In an instant, he withdrew from this wonderful induction, and no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer enter the wonderful induction just now.

Li Hao woke up the wormhole's intelligent system again and asked what was going on just now.

The intelligent system responded, "This is a manifestation of the increased purity of the Force, and with the weakness of your current Force, it is very rare to have this kind of induction." It seems that although your Force talent is very poor and the Force growth rate is slow, you have a high talent in the purification of the Star Element. It seems that your Force Purification and transformation into Star Yuan took much earlier than I estimated.

"The next time you have the opportunity to get into this state of mind, you should try to feel it, not think about it. In fact, the entire cultivation process of the Force is also like this, you have to experience more and think less. Feel the flow and change of the Force, and strive to resonate with the Force.

"The talent of the Force is related to the speed of cultivation, that is, the speed of the Force's growth. But the purity of the Force is about how far you can go in the end, about where you can end up be. ”

Li Hao was very excited when he heard it, Nima, the intelligent system always said that he had low talent and poor qualifications, although he was not depressed and did not lose his fighting spirit, but his confidence would be somewhat affected. At this moment, he finally received some affirmation from the intelligent system, and he excitedly said: "So the purity of the Force is important, more important than the growth rate. ”

"No, both are important. If you want to make a specific comparison, speed is more important before level 7, purity is more important at level 8, and purity is only pursued after level 9. And for you, speed is your shortcoming, you see. If there is no early stage, where is the late stage? Before level 4, Shou Yuan was very urgent, and before level 7, Shou Yuan was always a high hanging sword, if it came to the day of death, the Force level still couldn't go up, then it could only end with hatred. ”

These words were like a plate of cold water pouring down on his head, and the trace of pride in Li Hao's heart was instantly extinguished. Well, I don't believe in talent anymore, I only believe in hard work.

However, in general, this is always good news, if you can cultivate to the highest level, with the purity of your star element, you have a better chance of being promoted to the ultimate realm of the Force Dacheng.

The intelligent system said: "The improvement of the purity of the star element will promote the speed to some extent, since you have a high talent in this area, I will give you a training tutorial for the purification of the star element, you can spend an hour a day to try." This tutorial should have been given to you after you have reached level 4, but depending on your situation, it is also possible to start training now. But I hope that your original training time will not be shortened, and that you will find time to complete this hour. ”

Of course Li Hao accepted it, isn't it just another hour, more time every day, more, more. Isn't it said on the Internet, time is like a woman's cleavage/gutter, there is always a squeeze.

The next day, a round of red light rose from the sea level, illuminating the sea red.

The morning glow fills the sky, seagulls fly through the air, and the whole sea is full of life.

Putting away the huge anchor, Li Hao was about to drive the boat to the west, but through the glass of the wheelhouse, he saw three boats in the distance.

On a whim, Li Hao returned to the cargo hold to get a high-powered telescope and looked at the three ships through the telescope.

At first glance, he was taken aback. All three boats were full sails and were sailing at full speed. On the decks of the two ships behind them were many people with swords and other weapons, and some even had spears and broadswords. A few men drew their bows and arrows and shot at the ship in front of them.

Could it be a pirate? Looking closely, the three boats chased and fled. There were people in the two boats behind with flying grabbings, apparently trying to get closer and hook the boat in front. It's really a pirate, and I can't imagine that there will be pirates not too far from the land. It's bold.

The men of the merchant ship in front of them panicked, a few of them picked up sticks and swords, and most of them had no weapons. They threw bags of cargo into the sea, trying to lighten the load and escape faster.

But the two pirate ships were faster, and it seemed that the merchant ship in front of them was doomed.

Now that they've met, save them. Li Hao adjusted his direction and went up to meet the three ships.

Li Hao's boat is about thirty meters, which is only an insignificant boat in the main world, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, this ship can be regarded as a giant level. The cargo ship was moving at full speed, and the white waves rolled at the stern, dragging a trail of water. The cargo ship turned around and caught up with the three ships.

After the distance between the two sides was shortened, the people in the three boats also saw Li Hao's boat clearly, and everyone felt incredible.

This turned out to be an iron ship!

How can a ship made of iron float on the water? And it's so fast. The speed of fifteen knots is nothing in the main world, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, which relied on sails to sail, the speed of a motor ship was too amazing.

The merchant ship that escaped in front saw Li Hao's iron ship and boarded it to approach this side. Although they did not know whether the people on the iron ship were pirates or rescuers, they had been chased by two pirate ships, and they were not fast enough, and they had to be caught up sooner or later. Even if the iron ship were pirates, the situation would not be worse; If this iron ship is coming to the rescue, it can buy time.

The leader of the pirate ship is difficult to choose for a while, so if you don't chase after it, there will be no fat in your mouth; Go ahead and go forward, I really don't know the bottom of my heart about this iron ship. Although the pirate leader is a fierce man, human instinct is always a little afraid of the unknown.

Seeing the iron ship coming violently, the pirate leader was a little timid, he wanted to order the withdrawal, but saw that the deck of the iron ship was empty, it seemed that there were not many people on this ship. He was heartbroken, and he fought hard, if he even grabbed this iron boat, it would be sent.

This iron ship has no sails, but it runs fast, if after snatching it, he has such a ship in his hands, who can catch up with him? The world can be reached.

The pirate leader shouted, "Outflank the past, leave that merchant ship alone, they can't escape." Let's take down the big iron ship first. The first to board the great iron ship will be rewarded with fifteen cents; The one who kills the most people on the big iron ship will be rewarded with thirty yuan, and a woman on the merchant ship will be rewarded. ”

Hearing such a rich reward, the pirates immediately became mad, raised their weapons in their hands, and shouted wildly: "Kill! ”

At this time, Li Hao's cargo ship had approached the fleeing merchant ship, sailed past the merchant ship, and crashed straight into one of the pirate ships.

It's rare to hit people with a boat in the sea, because the consequences are unpredictable, and maybe both ships will sink. When the pirates saw the iron ship crashing straight ahead, they panicked.

The pirate leader was also taken aback, and then remembered that it was an iron ship, and it must have been his own wooden ship that would suffer if it collided. He never thought that the other party would collide with the ship, and in all the previous robberies, he had never encountered the other party. The other party generally escapes, and the sailboat is not flexible enough, and once it escapes, it is difficult to turn the rudder and collide with it.

Instead of ramming into the pirate leader's ship, he shouted at the other pirate ship, "Get out of the way, get out of the way." ”

Where is the time? The speed of the steel cargo ship is very fast, and the sailboat is slow to turn the rudder, and it is impossible to dodge.

"Bang, click!" A loud bang rang out.

The spiky bow of the steel cargo ship slammed into the bow of the pirate ship, sending sawdust flying and the planks snapping. After all, the planks of the Northern Song Dynasty could not be compared with the steel of the main world.

The pirate ship shook violently, splashing on the side of the ship, and the pirates on the deck were overturned.

One of the pirates stood too close to the side of the ship, and when he hit the ship, he was thrown up, his body flew out of the air, and he fell into the sea with a thud. Another was shaken to his feet and fell to the side, hitting his head on the mast, and his head was bleeding from the ground. An even less fortunate pirate was knocked into the air just at the tip of his accomplice's spear, and he fell down and stabbed his spear through his chest and out of his back. He was so angry on the spot that blood flowed all over the ground.

Although Li Hao's cargo ship was also shocked at the time of the impact, it had little impact, the cargo ship made of steel was too heavy, and it also carried dozens of tons of cement, plus a total of hundreds of tons of other materials.

The tonnage difference was so far apart that the pirate ship was bounced off the collision, but the steel cargo ship did not move.
