Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 420: Ten Cloudships Pass Inspection—Ready for the Battlefield

Chapter 420: Ten Cloudships Pass Inspection—Ready for the Battlefield

With Shen Mo’s perception, he naturally sensed Wu Zhanyun’s gaze with ease.

But he didn’t mind.

The methods for repairing military equipment weren’t something one could pick up just by watching.

No matter how much Wu Zhanyun stared, it would be of no use.

Shen Mo flexed his fingers and began repairing the second Thunder Falcon Cloudship.

After completing one, he already felt quite proficient.

Fixing one more would likely allow him to fully master the Thunder Falcon and move on to the Snow Sculpture Cloudship.

In just under half an hour, another fully repaired Thunder Falcon Cloudship stood beside him.

He gave a slight nod—his speed had noticeably improved.

Without bothering with the remaining Thunder Falcons, he stepped forward and began dismantling a Snow Sculpture Cloudship.

Wu Zhanyun, who had been occasionally watching from the side, froze on the spot.

A-another one?

And it looked like it had taken even less time than before.

Staring at the freshly repaired Thunder Falcon, a thought arose in Wu Zhanyun’s mind—

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

Was it truly fixed?

Could it actually function?

Was Shen Mo bluffing?

He mulled it over—perhaps the newcomer really was faking it.

But then again, it was possible the guy was genuinely a master of military engineering.

Only when Wang Xing'an came to inspect would they know the truth.

“But how is he already dismantling the Snow Sculpture Cloudship? Does he think he’s already mastered the Thunder Falcon’s structure?”

Wu Zhanyun looked on, suspicious.

He had been studying under Wang Xing'an for years, and even now, he wasn’t fully confident in the Thunder Falcon’s intricacies.

Yet this newcomer—only here for two days—already moved on to the next model?

Wu Zhanyun continued to watch while slowly dismantling his own ship.

His hands moved slower and slower.

Eventually, he just stopped altogether and observed Shen Mo from a distance.

He didn’t understand the Snow Sculpture Cloudship.

But watching Shen Mo’s deft fingers at work, it was clear he wasn't fumbling through it.

The more he watched, the more puzzled he became.

Who exactly was this newcomer?

Had he grown up around military equipment?

Or was he the child of some commander, sent here to the armory to avoid frontline combat?

After all, Demon Suppression Guards in the armory earned merit so slowly that they rarely paid attention to the Heavenly Dao Golden Rankings.

Shen Mo’s name might already be thunderous elsewhere, a favorite topic of many.

But here in the armory, almost no one knew who he was.

Even if someone had glanced at the People Rankings and seen the name Shen Mo in second place, they would never link that top-ranked genius to the new recruit toiling in the warehouse.

The reason was simple—

Anyone ranked in the top ten was undoubtedly an elite.

Why would such a person come to this quiet, forgotten place like the armory?

They would only assume it was someone with the same name.

After all, it wasn’t that rare a name.

“Hoo... done.”

Elsewhere, Shen Mo let out a breath.

He had just finished repairing a Snow Sculpture Cloudship.

And faster than before.

After all, the structures of cloudships were interconnected.

The differences between the Thunder Falcon and the Snow Sculpture were not vast.

Once you understood one, you understood them all.

From here on, his repair speed would only accelerate.

Once he had studied all the cloudships, he could begin crafting his own.

That would be the true turning point.

Soon, night fell.

Shen Mo had repaired one of each cloudship: Thunder Falcon, Snow Sculpture, and Black Hawk.

Though only a few of each type,

With his unparalleled comprehension, their construction principles were already etched into his mind.

Now, he could even design superior cloudships based on those three.

Like the Flame Jiao Cloudship from The Colossal Machinery Classic, whose ramming prow spewed violent flames and had more than ten times the offensive power of a Black Hawk Cloudship.

Or the Giant Kui Cloudship—over a hundred zhang long, twenty zhang wide, with a transport capacity more than twenty times that of a Snow Sculpture.

And then the Soaring Dragon Cloudship, the most powerful of them all: equipped with upgraded large Blood Energy Cannons and Spirit Energy Cannons at both the front and rear ramming prows, with ten standard cannons of each type mounted along the sides.

Its mast was made from flood dragon bone, inscribed with acceleration formations.

The deck was fused with powdered black tortoise shell—near indestructible.

The Soaring Dragon Cloudship was the culmination of Ou Ye’s entire cloudship design legacy.

Unfortunately, he had never managed to construct it in his lifetime—only the blueprint remained.

“It’s time to rest.”

Shen Mo stood up and stretched, preparing to leave the warehouse.

Wu Zhanyun had been watching him the whole day.

Seeing this, he stepped over and couldn’t help but ask, “You… have completely mastered all three types of cloudships?”

Shen Mo nodded. “Yeah, what about it?”

Wu Zhanyun swallowed hard, then pointed at the cloudships Shen Mo had repaired. “So, these cloudships can actually be operated?”

Shen Mo nodded again.

Wu Zhanyun paused for a moment, then asked, “Can I test them? I know it sounds a bit unpleasant, but… I just can’t quite believe it.”

Shen Mo smiled. “You don’t know how to pilot a cloudship. How would you test them? If anyone’s going to test them, it should be Commander Wang.”

“I was just about to call him to inspect everything.”

Wu Zhanyun nodded.

He really did want to know whether those cloudships had truly been repaired.

Deep down, he still didn’t believe anyone could fix ten cloudships in just a single day.

He preferred to think Shen Mo was putting on a show.

Boom.

The door to the C-grade warehouse suddenly swung open.

Wang Xing'an, who had been dozing off by the entrance, jolted awake and quickly got to his feet.

“Heading off to rest? Well, makes sense—it’s been a whole day.”

He yawned loudly.

Though he’d spent most of the day dozing off in intervals, he still felt tired.

Being a napper was exhausting too!

Nothing like sleeping lying down.

Shen Mo shook his head. “No, I’ve finished repairing ten cloudships. Please inspect them, Commander.”

“Once they pass, we can have them dusted off and kept ready for deployment.”

Wang Xing'an froze. “R-repaired? Ten of them?!”

Even the fat on his body seemed to tremble slightly in that moment.

Did he hear that right?

Ten cloudships—fully repaired?

“Alright! I’ll inspect them now!”

With a burst of energy, Wang Xing'an darted into the warehouse like an arrow.

Wu Zhanyun followed close behind.

Shen Mo walked at a steady pace and pointed to one area. “There—they’re the ten I repaired.”

Wang Xing'an glanced over and inhaled sharply.

Good heavens.

Three Thunder Falcon Cloudships, three Snow Sculpture Cloudships, and four Black Hawk Cloudships!

“I told you to proceed step by step—to start with Thunder Falcons and only move on to Snow Sculptures and Black Hawks after you’d thoroughly mastered the first!”

Wang Xing'an couldn’t help but say.

Shen Mo shrugged. “Once I’d understood the Thunder Falcons, everything else just fell into place. Since there was time, I moved on to the Snow Sculptures and Black Hawks. I did follow your order.”

Wang Xing'an was speechless.

He didn’t know what to say.

Shen Mo spoke with confidence—he didn’t seem to be lying.

But his instincts told him the entire scene before him was unreal.

Only proper inspection could put his mind at ease.

“You two wait here. I’ll go test them.”

With a sudden leap, his round frame bounced like a ball of flesh up onto the deck of one Thunder Falcon Cloudship.

He inspected the ramming prow, the deck, the mast, the inscribed formations—one by one.

After a thorough check, his eyes widened.

Even though many of the parts were obviously cobbled together—pieces taken from different sources and patched into place, the appearance far from polished—

They worked!

This Thunder Falcon Cloudship could absolutely fly—and perform exactly as it was meant to.
