When everyone saw the One-horned Sailboat park beside the fleet Phoenix Rain commanded, they couldn't help their wariness of the woman .
It was true that the struggle for Thunder Island relied on players' strengths, with external tools being prohibited . However, one had to obtain Thunder Passes to participate, and to do so, they needed to kill the Sea of Death's Bosses .
With a sailboat, Phoenix Rain would have an easier time defeating those Bosses . In turn, she could collect more passes .
The more Thunder Passes one possessed, the more players they bring to the contest .
Although each Guild was allowed a fixed number of Thunder Passes, the same couldn't be said for future contests . Now that Phoenix Rain had a sailboat, she would pose a huge threat during the next contest .
"Zero Wing sure has a lot of secrets . " Quiet Melody, who stood on the deck of one of the Sacred Temple's speedboats, turned to look at Phoenix Rain, envy gripping her heart .
The various superpowers had struggled to recruit naval powers, trying to bolster their forces so they could obtain more Thunder Passes .
Yet, despite Phoenix Rain only recently focusing on her navy, she had recruited a powerful ally like Zero Wing, which had its own sailboat .
Phoenix Rain had cooperated with Zero Wing before it had risen to greatness . Needless to say, Zero Wing would help her grind for Thunder Passes if she asked .
However, unlike Quiet Melody, who had a strong friendship with Phoenix Rain, the other superpowers' upper echelons had far more nefarious thoughts .
The various superpowers were preparing to aim their spearheads for the threat known as Phoenix Rain .
…
"Damn it! How did Zero Wing get that sailboat?!" Nine Dragons Emperor glared at the One-horned Sailboat with intense jealousy .
Although it was a single sailboat, its combat power was far beyond any speedboat .
While they had explored God's Domain's oceans, the various superpowers had learned one thing: ships were more important than players in naval combat . If a ship weren't of a certain quality, it wouldn't be able to contend with the Boss sea monsters . Needless to say, these powerful Bosses would drop weapons, equipment, and various tools that could help improve one's naval strength .
With these tools, a team could explore farther and more dangerous regions, obtaining even better equipment and tools, creating an endless, positive cycle .
As for Nine Dragons Emperor, he had spent a lot of money and resources to recruit rising naval powers . He had only amassed a sizable fleet after many challenges . This fleet was why he was confident in surpassing Phoenix Rain .
However, the appearance of Zero Wing's One-horned Sailboat had instantly made a joke of his effort…
"Pavilion Master, if Phoenix Rain has the help of a sailboat, she'll be a huge challenge in future struggles over Thunder Island," Blood Dragon worriedly commented .
There was no doubting that neither Phoenix Rain nor Nine Dragons Emperor would dominate Thunder Island this time . At most, each side would occupy a small corner of the island, slowing growing their navies until they could dominate the island as a whole . Now that Phoenix Rain had a sailboat on her side, there was no doubt that she had a massive advantage of Nine Dragons Emperor in future contests .
"Phoenix Rain will be a problem during future struggles for Thunder Island . However, she has to last until the next contest, first," Nine Dragons Emperor hissed once he calmed down . Sneering, he continued, "Contact the other Guilds . Tell them that I'd like to discuss cooperation . I'm sure they'll be willing to work with us to annihilate Phoenix Rain!"
The various superpowers had been wary of each other thus far . They'd be fortunate not to make more enemies, let alone participate . However, now that they all faced a future threat like Phoenix Rain, they would be willing to cooperate .
"Understood . I'll contact them right away . " Realization dawned upon Blood Dragon . He then turned towards Phoenix Rain's group, smirking .
"How are things coming along on Sun's side?" Nine Dragons Emperor asked .
"Pavilion Master, rest assured; everything has been dealt with . All you need to do is sit back and watch the show," Blood Dragon reported with a smile .
"Excellent . I want to see Phoenix Rain's expression when she finds out . " Nine Dragons Emperor nodded in satisfaction .
…
Meanwhile, Phoenix Rain was shocked to learn that Zero Wing had its own sailboat .
"Team Leader Ye Feng, Zero Wing's entrance was certainly grand," Phoenix Rain said, smiling bitterly as she sensed malice from all directions . "Once we enter Thunder Island, I'm afraid many parties will target our team . "
"Phoenix Pavilion Master, don't you see the opportunity?" Shi Feng retorted, chuckling .
While Zero Wing's frightening potential was a threat to their competitors, it also made the Guild the best choice for an alliance .
It was impossible for a single superpower to monopolize Thunder Island . Everyone understood this, and it was precisely why the various superpowers sought allies .
After all, the profits one could gain with a single supporter versus two or more differed greatly .
The various superpowers might've looked down on Phoenix Rain, thinking themselves above cooperating with her, previously, but now that her side had such potential, she could be a formidable ally .
When the Phoenix Pavilion's members heard Shi Feng's reasoning, realization dawned . They were in awe of the Swordsman's foresight .
In reality, Phoenix Rain had considered seeking an alliance with a few other superpowers and had sent Blue Phoenix to negotiate .
Unfortunately, although the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion was a super-first-rate Guild, the Guild's strength was split three ways . Among them, the Great Pavilion Master was the strongest within the Pavilion . As a result, she couldn't convince the other superpowers to cooperate with her in the contest . As expected, every one of them had refused her offer .
However, with the addition of Zero Wing's sailboat, the other superpowers might reconsider .
"Big Sis Rain, both the Battle Wolves and Sacred Temple have stated that they are willing to cooperate . However, we will only get 20% of the profits while their Guilds will share the remaining 80%," Blue Phoenix reported angrily .
"Those despicable, old foxes . " Phoenix Rain frowned . "They know that I'm competing with Nine Dragons Emperor, so they're using the opportunity to hike up their prices!"
"I have a suggestion . Would you be interested in hearing it, Phoenix Pavilion Master?" Shi Feng suddenly asked .
"A suggestion?" Phoenix Rain gave the man a curious look . "May I know what sort of plan Team Leader Ye Feng has in mind?"
"I'll represent Zero Wing in this alliance . Negotiate with the Battle Wolves and the Sacred Temple for 40% of Thunder Island's profits," Shi Feng said .
"Forty percent?!" Blue Phoenix was astonished . She thought that Shi Feng had completely lost his mind .
It was obvious that the Battle Wolves and Sacred Temple had discussed the situation beforehand and only intended to offer Phoenix Rain 20%, yet Shi Feng wanted to ask for twice that . If the two Guilds heard this, they'd laugh themselves to death .
"Team Leader Ye Feng, are you serious?" Phoenix Rain asked earnestly .
