Chapter 241 - 150: Bionic Skin Battle Armor
Of course, this is to say that all Spectral Airships, when being promoted to Escort Ships, are highly likely to use some of these four materials, but not that every Spectral Airship must collect all four materials before initiating the promotion mission.
It mainly depends on individual capacity and willingness, and Song Chi is clearly the type who prefers to be cautious and safe.
Generally speaking, a Spectral Airship may use 2 to 3 of these materials during its promotion, but this is not always the case.
Some Torch Warships may not need any at all, while a very small portion of Spectral Airships may need all four materials; it’s really down to personal luck, and no one can say for certain.
Above Green Moon Lake’s sky, with the activation of the jump drive, Cang Qiong quickly disappeared.
At the foot of Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, the forty-ninth floor of Merit Tower.
He scanned the personal panel on the Quantum Communication Bracelet in his hand.
Golden Merit Points: 11
After some thought, Song Chi still turned in the [Brox Ultra Base Main Cannon], and then his Golden Merit Points reached 15.
Having done all this, he went to the counter where the [Obsidian Ship Armor] Component was displayed.
After 10 Golden Merit Points were deducted by the Quantum Communication Bracelet, he successfully obtained this long-desired Purple Warship Armor.
He absorbed the component into the Ancestral Torch and, without stopping there, Song Chi made another run to the 30th and 32nd floors, which respectively contained the materials Sea Spirit Crystals and Moon Rock Stones.
He acquired both using 1 Golden Merit Point each, and thus, what was 15 Golden Merit Points just a few minutes ago was now suddenly down to just 3.
Seeing this, even Song Chi, who earned money much faster than a regular Torch Ship Captain thanks to the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, felt a sting.

After all, these were the Golden Merit Points accumulated through the prior battle with the Blood Blade Star Thieves, and the subsequent issuance of all the Ruins Market Guest Tokens, which did not come easily.
Overall, though, his excitement outweighed the pain by quite a bit.
After all, not only had he obtained the [Obsidian Ship Armor], he had also gathered all the potential special resources Cang Qiong might need for its promotion.
Plus, with the Energy Crystals and the Moruo Tree Sap in his possession, once Cang Qiong initiates the promotion mission, its success rate is guaranteed to exceed 20%. With more alien species eliminated and sufficient bathing in the blood of aliens, reaching a 70% success rate should be easy.
Containing his emotions, Song Chi tapped the Second-Rank Floating Land Origin in his hand.
"360 strands, is that a bit low?"
Muttering to himself, he turned and went back to the 49th floor.
This wasn’t just the place for exchanging different levels of Floating Land Origin but also had counters for converting Golden Merit Points into Floating Land Origin, such as Second-Rank Floating Land Origin.

Looking at the exchange rate, Song Chi gritted his teeth and exchanged another point.
After the exchange, he had 560 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin, but his Golden Merit Points had come down to just 2.
Without lingering any longer in Merit Tower, Song Chi left, fearing he couldn’t resist spending his last points.
As for upgrading the Obsidian Ship Armor with more Obsidian, he had already acquired plenty from a special mineral shop in the Ruins Market Secret Realm, at least enough to enhance it to the threshold of Third Rank.
Half a day later, Song Chi returned to Green Moon Manor and once again entered the Ruins Market.
In the free stall area, Song Chi boarded the newly summoned Cang Qiong. His first action was to remove the Starlight V Alloy Armor and replace it with the newly obtained Obsidian Ship Armor.
After some enhancements, and using hundreds of strands of Zero Rank and First Rank Floating Land Origin, he enhanced the component to lv20, but Song Chi didn’t stop there. Eventually, with the cost of 486 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin + 110 tons of Obsidian + 60 Titanium Crystals, he boosted it all the way to lv30.
He also infused 200 tons of Space Solidification Stone into it.
This spatial attribute special resource extracted from the Moruo Secret Realm had been something he’d been reluctant to merge into the Starlight V Alloy Armor for fear of waste.
He had specifically checked at Merit Tower before; the Space Solidification Stone wasn’t cheap, with 100 tons costing 1 Golden Merit Point.
Now it was different: this [Obsidian Ship Armor] was a Purple Component and also a top-rank Purple Warship Armor with an active defence feature. It would surely be used until Cang Qiong reached Third Rank, so infusing it with the Space Solidification Stone was justified.
After strengthening it to Third Rank, not surprisingly, the attributes of [Obsidian Ship Armor] soared.
Obsidian Ship Armor lv30
Quality: Purple
Feature: Obsidian Protection
Consumption: 50/second (Spectral Energy Points)
Defence: 204,000
Requires no charge or buffer
Upgrade Requirement: 10 strands of Floating Land Origin (Third Rank), 30,000 Spectral Energy Points, 25 tons of Obsidian, 16 Titanium Crystals
{Obsidian Protection: Consumes 10,000 Spectral Energy Points to instantaneously generate an Obsidian Shield on the surface of the ship, lasting 20 minutes with a cooldown of 24 hours.}
In addition to these specific attributes, Cang Qiong also has a hidden attribute, which is the resistance to spatial power provided by the Space Solidification Stone. After infusing 200 tons of it, Cang Qiong could eventually attempt to leave the inner parts of the Ruins Market and test the actual effects in the external Void Space.
However, after enhancing the [Obsidian Ship Armor], Song Chi was left with only 74 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin and 15 Titanium Crystals.
After thinking it over, he spent another 57 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin + 6 Titanium Crystals to enhance the Phantom Thruster to lv23, slightly increasing Cang Qiong’s maneuverability and agility.
