"Huh?"

That was the only response that the Lin Astral Emperor and Lin Jian had to this sudden outburst from Lin Fan.

But then after coming back to their senses, they immediately said, "No! That is not even an option!"

Lin Fan just waited for the two of them to calm down.

Seeing how Lin Fan was just sitting there, not looking bothered by their complaints at all, the two of them did calm down in the end.

The Lin Astral Emperor then said in a serious voice, "You should understand what position you are in right now. If you were to go to the frontlines, it's very likely that you'll be targeted by people moving in the shadows."

Maybe it would be possible if he was to go in secret to gain some experience, but it was impossible for Lin Fan to go while leading an army.

This would immediately let anyone with intentions know that Lin Fan was leaving the Lin Astral Empire's capital. At the same time, the fact that he was heading to the battlefield meant that he was going to a place where accidents could happen at any time.

It was not a place that Lin Fan should go anywhere near.

But Lin Fan just said, "I still need to go."

Both the Lin Astral Emperor and Lin Jian knitted their brows when they heard this.

Normally, Lin Fan would be able to give them a clear response that was both logical and convincing, but this time…he was just using brute force to insist that he needed to go. It was as if he couldn't think of anything, so he was just throwing a tantrum as a child now.

This wasn't the way that Lin Fan would act normally.

So the fact that he was acting this way must mean that there was a reason for him to act this way.

The Lin Astral Emperor asked, "Why do you need to go?"

Lin Fan didn't respond at first and just remained silent as if he was thinking about what to say. Then he suddenly said, "It's a task from my master."

"Huh?"

That was the Lin Astral Emperor and Lin Jian's response again.

This answer completely caught them off guard since they never thought that Lin Fan would answer like this.

Both of them narrowed their eyes to look at Lin Fan, but he just sat there with a calm look on his face.

After a long time, the Lin Astral Emperor finally said, "Does your master have a way to ensure that you will be safe in doing what you need to do?"

Lin Fan nodded in response to this.

Finally with a sigh, the Lin Astral Emperor said, "Go and get ready."

Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He then gave a nod and left the room.

Once he was gone, Lin Jian couldn't help asking, "Father, why did you let him go? You know how dangerous it will be for Xiao Fan if you let him go there."

The Lin Astral Emperor gave a sigh before saying with a smile, "Do you really think that I could stop him? If I didn't give him permission, he would have run off on his own in the end now that he has a ship. It's safer this way since he'll at least have you and the army protecting him just in case."

Lin Jian wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth in the end since he knew that the Lin Astral Emperor was right.

Even though he had mellowed out with age, he was someone that had the same personality as Lin Fan and Lin Ao back then. He was someone who was easily influenced by their impulses and would make rash decisions like this.

So he knew that if they had tried to stop Lin Fan, he would have just snuck off in the end which would just make things worse.

It was better to just let Lin Fan come along.

In the end, Lin Jian also revealed a bitter smile and shook his head with a sigh.

Lin Fan went back to the store and immediately arranged for the cousins to handle it while he was away.

However, there were a few of the cousins that volunteered to come with him.

They didn't know exactly what it was that Lin Fan was heading off to, but they had received messages from the elders of their branches that something big was happening with the Lin Astral Family. These elders were the elder generation of the Lin Astral Family, so they were able to get some information that others didn't.

For Lin Fan to leave at this time, it must mean that he was entrusted with something special by the Lin Astral Emperor.

If they could go with him and share in the glory, it would mean that they would also receive great gains from the Lin Astral Emperor.

But Lin Fan rejected all of them since he knew that they wouldn't be able to keep up with him on the battlefield. They might have gone out for experience, but they had never experienced anything like a real war.

The cousins were indeed very relieved when they later found out that Lin Fan had gone to fight the Beast Race.

Lin Fan quickly took care of everything and now he was just waiting for the fourth and eighth army to finish gathering supplies.

But during this time, he didn't want to remain still, so he went to check his own ship.

During the weeks of peace, the engineers hadn't stopped working on the Outers ship. They had gone through every single part of it bit by bit, but they still weren't able to figure out a single thing about the Outer technology.

But, studying this ship did give them inspiration.

This inspiration gave them ideas for new technology and that increased the overall level of ships in the Lin Astral Empire.

However, before those inspirations could be utilized, they had to be tested first.

Lin Fan had arranged so that the tests would be done to his ship.

So over the past few weeks, there had been many modifications made to his ship. It looked completely different from how it did a few weeks ago.

Still, it had also changed greatly when it came to specs.

The engineering department had increased the overall speed of the ship by ten times and they had added all kinds of beam based weapons on the ship that used different kinds of laws. They had made the ship so strong that it was even superior to the Lin Astral Emperor's private ship.

Of course, this ship still couldn't defeat a Ruler Realm Expert.

They had even tested it with one of the four Ruler Realm Experts of the Lin Astral Family guard.

It was able to suppress the Ruler Realm Expert at first, but once the Ruler Realm Expert started using his domain, it completely blocked off all the attacks of the ship. So while it wasn't able to defeat Ruler Realm Expert, it was still more than enough to fight off Peak Sun Realm Experts.

Lin Fan went over to the ship that still had engineers working on it.

When the engineers saw him come over, they were all surprised, but they stopped their work since they all recognized him.

The leader of this team of engineers said, "Your highness, is there anything we can do for you?"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Prepare the ship, I need it now."

The leader of the team revealed an excited look as he said, "Is it really time for a field test?"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I need it for something else."

The leader of the team could hear from the tone of his voice that whatever it was being used for was a secret, so he didn't ask any further. However, he did say in an excited voice, "Then can I send two engineers with you to see how it performs?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this, but he still said, "It'll be dangerous if they come along. I'll be going to a place that will be a battlefield."

The leader of the team just said with a relaxed smile, "That doesn't matter. As long as we can see our beautiful ship in action, we don't care if we lose our lives."

Lin Fan couldn't help being taken aback by these words.

He looked at the firm look in the eyes of the leader and he knew that it wouldn't be possible to talk him out of it. So he said with a sigh, "Do as you wish."

The leader gave a strong nod before the engineers started a rock paper scissors tournament among themselves.

It seemed like there were quite a few of them that wanted to go even though Lin Fan had already told them that it would be dangerous.

The looks in the eyes of the engineers were the same as the one that the leader had when he asked Lin Fan if they could come.

It was as if they were all prepared to die just to see the ship that they had created in action.

That was also what moved Lin Fan to let them come.

Craftsmen who were willing to risk their lives for their craft.

Devoting everything that they had just to ensure that they had the very best skills.

This kind of determination was something that could move anyone, including Lin Fan.

So he couldn't say no to them.
