“YES, DAD! LEAVE THE NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE BOATS TO US!”
At thirty-two-year-old Gu Changsheng’s cheerful command, all five newly promoted Rank 7 (Nascent Soul) children—twelve-year-old Gu Nian, thirteen-year-old Ye Xiao, right ten-year-old Su Nuannuan, nine-year-old Jiang Tuntun, and three-year-old Little Fifth (Ao Xing)—leaped off the front porch of the [Gu Family Flying Courtyard Star-Fortress] in a five-colored burst of golden guardian starlight!
Across the three-hundred-mile crescent of the Black-Skull Pirate Armada, utter, pandemonium-level terror erupted inside all nine hundred and ninety-nine escort dreadnoughts!
Five hundred thousand hardened space pirates had just watched their thousand-ship combined Star-Destroyer Laser get slurped down like tomato noodle soup by a nine-year-old girl in a bib. Followed by their invincible Half-Step Rank 8 Admiral’s Blood-Sun getting pinched into a teacup warmer by the dad in the kitchen apron. Now all five of those monstrous Rank 7 pre-teen kids were charging straight at their ships to “stretch their legs”!
“ABORT MISSION! ABORT MISSION!” the pirate captain of Dreadnought #102 screamed into the fleet-wide radio channel, tearing off his skull-embroidered pirate hat and slamming both hands onto his emergency helm controls.
“To hell with Grand Warden Tianfa’s five hundred billion Spirit Stones! If we stay here for another ten seconds, that little girl with the wooden rice spoon is going to eat our ships for dessert! Disengage the locking array and scatter into hyperspace—every ship for itself!”
