Driven by grief and rage, Zhang Yi unleashed his Blackscale Berserk Dragon, intent on killing Fang Yu. Luu Yuan revealed the dragon's weakness: a single, differently colored scale that appears when it goes berserk, which is also its most vulnerable point. Despite the power gap, Fang Yu attacked but was overwhelmed by Zhang Yi's dragon form. As Fang Yu's ship was forced underwater and his defenses strained, a white scale began to appear on the dragon, signaling Zhang Yi's berserk state.

"So, our attacks didn't fail to trigger the opponent's special scales, but rather, those scales were concealed in this specific location."

Upon witnessing this, Fang Yu couldn't contain his elation, his eyes gleaming as he fixated on the unique scale adorning the Black Phosphorus Wrath Dragon.

Legend had it that this particular scale possessed the capability to unleash a devastating offensive, marking it as the most aggressive feature on the Black Phosphorus Wrath Dragon.

Yet, concurrently, this same scale was exceptionally vulnerable, representing the dragon’s critical weak point.

With the sight of this scale, Fang Yu made preparations to launch a decisive strike aimed directly at it.

However, Zhang Yi let out a cold sneer just as the scale began to emit a blinding radiance.

This luminescence, seemingly innocuous, harbored a formidable power; the Profound Light Shield dissolved before this faint glow, its energy reserves rapidly depleted.

"Hold the line!"

Fang Yu reacted with alarm but understood that the adversary’s assault far surpassed their own capabilities. Despite the maritime shield boasting significant defensive and damage-mitigation attributes, and the crew having consumed high-grade energy elixirs, they were unable to withstand the opponent’s onslaught due to the sheer disparity in power.

The difference in cultivation realm between the dragon ship and the warship was considerable, with the dragon ship positioned two realms higher. Furthermore, this scale constituted the most potent feature on Zhang Yi’s maritime vessel, embodying immense offensive potential.

As it was unleashed, the Salted Fish executed a rapid retreat.

"Exhaust!"

Fang Yu’s gaze intensified, and he uttered a low command.

Instantly, an unusual wave propagated from the foreheads of each crew member, diminishing a significant portion of their physical vitality and transforming it into energy levels.

[Material Energy Conversion]: This ability sacrifices bodily essence to transmute it into energy levels.

It was a previously undiscovered ability by the crew, and as the effects of the [Material Energy Conversion] took hold, the crew members experienced an immediate, peculiar sensation.

It felt as though their physical bodies were emptied, yet an unending reservoir of strength surged within them.

A simultaneous sense of excitement and weakness?

What was happening?

No matter!

Infused with this newfound internal power, the crew promptly channeled it towards the Profound Light Shield without hesitation, causing it to radiate brilliantly and attain remarkable fortitude.

Notwithstanding the Black Phosphorus Wrath Dragon’s terrifying offensive, they managed to temporarily repel Zhang Yi’s assault.

"They actually endured it? How is this conceivable?"

Zhang Yi expressed his astonishment, his gaze unexpectedly shifting towards the Salted Fish.

That specialized scale, while a vulnerability on Zhang Yi’s vessel, also served as its most formidable weapon!

Even a formidable Extraordinary Ship Captain would experience profound regret when confronted with an attack originating from this scale.

He had just perceived a drastic depletion in Fang Yu and his crew’s energy levels, deeming them insufficient to weather his attack, yet why...

"This brat’s hidden strategies just keep piling up!"

Zhang Yi inwardly cursed, a feeling of vexation washing over him.

Why was this so?

He was a captain who had entered this realm as part of the fifth cohort, which, while not providing the absolute best returns, still guaranteed ample resources, swift progression, and a multitude of opportunities.

Yet, unexpectedly, Fang Yu, who had entered this world nearly four years later, possessed even more preposterous advantages and astonishing capabilities. In a mere span of days, he ceaselessly improved and unveiled new strategic assets.

"This situation is untenable; Fang Yu possesses a resurrection ability. I cannot prematurely reveal my other trump cards, lest I find myself in a disadvantageous position."

Zhang Yi contemplated internally.

Jiang Lin’s demise was not in vain.

Following Jiang Lin’s death, Fang Yu’s capacity for resurrection was observed and analyzed.

Thus, Zhang Yi became aware that Fang Yu had one additional chance to reset his circumstances.

In confrontations between unparalleled experts, the contest is not solely about raw power but also about the sheer quantity of hidden advantages each possesses.

Should the adversary’s hidden cards remain concealed while one’s own are depleted, it is certain that Zhang Yi would ultimately face an unfavorable outcome.

Consequently, even with remaining strategic assets in his possession, Zhang Yi was hesitant to deploy them recklessly.

"Hark! All of you, converge here and lend your aid! Exert yourselves, for Fang Yu is nearing his breaking point!"

"Force out all of his hidden capabilities, and I shall counter and suppress them."

At this pivotal juncture, Zhang Yi summoned the captains affiliated with his clan’s consortium, his eyes alight with a triumphant laugh.

To guarantee victory, he had marshaled numerous formidable individuals from the Zhang Clan consortium. Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, these very experts could now prove their mettle.

However, at that precise moment, the captains of the Zhang Clan consortium, positioned in the distance, cried out in distress and shouted towards Zhang Yi:

"Patriarch! There is something peculiar about this young man; our energy reserves are being siphoned away by him without our notice."

"What?" Zhang Yi exclaimed, his gaze rapidly shifting to his captains. It was undeniable; he observed the weariness spreading through them. Even though they downed potent energy potions, these remedies failed to halt the relentless drain on their vitality.

Unbeknownst to them, beyond his skill in [Material Energy Conversion], Fang Yu also possessed [Fatigue Assault].

The impact of Fatigue Assault manifests as a unique field of influence.

Every combatant ensnared within this domain experiences a perpetual sense of weariness.

Had these captains been diligent in consuming energy potions from the very beginning to counteract this drain, their current predicament would not be so dire.

However, from the initial moments, Fang Yu and Zhang Yi had engaged in full-throttle combat, effectively capturing the undivided attention of all the captains.
