Han Fei had always thought that Cao Tian already left. After all, the man only made it to the 208th level last ti. He never expected that Cao Tian had already arrived at the 251st floor.
Back in the 208th, Han Fei thought that Cao Tian couldn’t have been too impressive, but now that Han Fei ca to the 251st floor, Han Fei naturally had changed his opinion. He knew very well how powerful the Lobster Demon was just now.
The one Lobster Demon had rendered his sharp Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers into nothing more than decorations. He couldn’t kill the demon with the Drawing Technique. That creature could’ve killed a whole bunch of experts if it had appeared on the 200th floor.
“Do you know ?”
Cao Tian swam closer, and Han Fei was quite surprised.
Because of what Cao Tian said, he had the preconception that Cao Tian was one of the proud, cruel, and condescending geniuses.
However, now that they t each other, Han Fei found that this Cao Tian was tall and brawny with a casual smile on his broad and innocent face. He was wearing a battle suit, which Han Fei mistook for a regular long robe when he saw it in the beginning.
“Huh? What an unremarkable look.”
Han Fei frowned and asked, “Are you really Cao Tian?”
Cao Tian nodded with an innocent smile. “That’s right! I’ve never seen you before. You can’t be from the town.”
Han Fei was briefly stunned. “That’s right. I’m not from the town; I’m a bumpkin.”
Cao Tian scratched his head in embarrassnt. “That’s not what I ant...”
Han Fei was even more confused when he saw Cao Tian’s stance and behavior, as the man was the opposite of the image of the best Heavenly Talent of the Thousand Star City that he had always been picturing in his head!
Tang Ge, in comparison, was exactly what people expected him to look like. He was unapproachable, intimidating and looked aweso when he held his giant spear.
This Cao Tian had nothing in his hands, and his arms were just dangling their idly. He seed to have put on a silly smile now and he did not look like a top expert at all!
After a brief silence, Han Fei asked, “Have you finished the battle?”
Cao Tian nodded with a smile. “I finished it a long ti ago.”
Han Fei asked in confusion, “Then why did you not go to the next level?”
Cao Tian replied straightforwardly, “I’m trying to improve the speed of my fists.”
“Huh?”
Han Fei was briefly stunned. “You’re trying to improve the speed of your fists? How long have you been here?”
Cao Tian said with a smile, “It’s been three days.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Do you not want to know what else the Steps into the Sea has to offer? You simply regard it as a training ground?”
Cao Tian spoke straightly, “What you deserve will co to you sooner or later. However, you’re carrying Qiuqiu’s sll.” When he ntioned Cao Qiu, intimidating brilliance glittered in Cao Tian’s eyes. He looked at Han Fei, as if he were waiting for an answer.
Han Fei grinned and said, “Cao Qiu said that you two were in bad standings with one another. Is that not true?”.
Cao Tian said with a bitter smile, “He doesn’t like , but he’s still my brother. Nobody can touch him, nobody at all. How are you related to Qiuqiu?”
Han Fei said, “I promised Cao Qiu that I would kill Sun Mu, Yang Deyu, Li Heiye, Li Baizhou, Ye Baiyu and the rest of them. How do you think I am related to him?”
The intimidating light in Cao Tian’s eyes was gone when he heard that, and he beca innocent-looking again. “Sounds about right. That’s exactly sothing that Qiuqiu would do. You can go now. Goodbye.”
Han Fei: “???”
Han Fei was lost for words. He couldn’t keep up with Cao Tian’s line of thinking at all.
“Hey! Do you not know that you’re the person that Cao Qiu wants to kill most badly?”
Cao Tian grinned and replied, “I certainly do!”
Han Fei asked, “Why? I’m actually quite curious about the answer.”
Cao Tian’s smile was even brighter. “He’s more of a talker than a doer. He has never killed anyone. As for his reason, you don’t need to know it if he never told it to you.”
Han Fei snorted and said, “I’m not interested in that at all! At this mont, he should be at the 201st floor with Wang Erjian.”
Cao Tian turned around and humd in response. “Then he’s probably already left.”
Han Fei was stunned about how fast Cao Tian made the conclusion. He then imdiately put on a smile, as Cao Tian really understood his junior brother very well. In fact, not just Cao Tian, Han Fei himself felt that Cao Qiu must’ve left too.
Cao Qiu was so weak that he had to count on his spiritual beast and contractual spiritual beasts ever since the 151st floor, not to ntion the 201st.
Han Fei was not sure whether Cao Tian was rely pretending to be silly, or he was genuinely innocent and honest. All of a sudden, Han Fei wanted to have so fun, so he called out, “Hey, Cao Tian!”
Cao Tian turned his head back and asked, “What’s up?”
Han Fei said with a smile, “Cao Qiu asked to kill you, and I accepted his paynt. I need to carry out this job now that I’ve been paid. Regardless of whether or not I can beat you, I have to try beating you, right?”
Cao Tian smiled and replied, “Okay!”
Han Fei also said with a smile, “Okay then, I’ll launch one attack with my sword. After the attack, you can keep practicing your fists, and I’ll continue searching for my treasures. How does that sound?”
Cao Tian nodded. “Okay! It sounds fair enough.”
Han Fei wasn’t exactly crazy about fighting. He rely wanted to find out how strong this Cao Tian was, whom everybody praised and admired.
This ti, Han Fei simply used the Majestic Mystic Spell. The seawater around him was shaking, and appalling energy was circulating on the surface of Han Fei’s body.
Cao Tian wasn’t careless either. However, Cao Tian didn’t use any weapon but simply stood on the ground with his back slightly lowered. Hardly had he clenched his fists when the seawater on one side of his body exploded.
“Shua...”
“Hooo00o!”
As the brilliance of the Drawing Technique was launched, Cao Tian punched his fists as if they were dragons. Deafening noises were echoing in the seawater. Boom!
After only one collision, all the seawater within a hundred ters was boiling.
Han Fei backed hundreds of ters off, with a bit of blood flowing off his lips.
Cao Tian actually took the hit better than Han Fei did. He only backed away a dozen ters. However, there was one sword wound on his fist that was deep to the bone. A long ti later, Cao Tian retreated his fists and said with a smile, “I’ve lost. I used thirteen punches just now.”
Han Fei’s lips trembled. Thirteen punches? Were his fists really so fast just now? Why did I only see seven punches?
“See you.”
Han Fei recalled the Blood Drinking Knife and said goodbye, before he went down to the next level.
He already confird that Cao Tian was strong. Very strong.
It was without question that neither Yang Deyu, Sun Mu or Ye Baiyu, could possibly defeat Cao Tian. His attack just now could’ve destroyed Sun Mu’s Immortals Slaying Formation.
However, Cao Tian had broken it with only thirteen punches.
The number of his punches didn’t really matter. He had reached the level of advanced Dangling Fisher, but he could only co to a tie with Cao Tian in a battle.
Wait, that was not entirely accurate. While Cao Tian admitted that he failed, Han Fei wouldn’t really consider himself a winner.
Furthermore, Han Fei was very certain that the guy had trump cards that were even more powerful. That was really a bad feeling.
After roughly learning of Cao Tian’s capabilities, Han Fei realized that he hadn’t beco invincible yet, and it was unnecessary for him to continue the battle with him.
The mont after he entered the 252nd floor, Han Fei went straight into Forge the Universe instead of making offerings.
The battle against the Lobster Demon had inford Han Fei that the Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers had no more advantage. Besides, he had lost dozens of Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers during the travel in the level-three fishery, which clearly indicated that the mid-quality spiritual weapons could no longer satisfy Han Fei’s needs! Han Fei needed a new set of weapons.
Han Fei had planned to craft a set of blades for the Million Knife Art with the remaining materials after his adventure in the Steps into the Sea. However, it seed that he had to craft those weapons in advance now.
Altogether, Han Fei had 386 ultra-quality materials and more than 2,900 high-quality materials, not to ntion the 142 high-quality spiritual weapons and the 68 high-quality battle suits.
They added up to a dreadful number, so dreadful that his two hundred million spiritual energy would probably be completely used up if he were to craft all of those items into ultra-quality weapons.
Naturally, Han Fei was unwilling to spend so much spiritual energy at one ti. The most he could tolerate was to use up one third of his spiritual energy.
After all, what Han Fei needed wasn’t just weapons. In the future, after he surpassed the level of Dangling Fisher, he would need a hundred million points of spiritual energy for nothing more than to deduce the fifth level of Void Fishing! Therefore, he had to use his spiritual energy judiciously.
In Forge the Universe...
Han Fei threw materials into the Demon Purification Pot numbly.
A day later, 24 ultra-quality spiritual blades were crafted at the cost of twelve million points of spiritual energy.
Three days passed.
Another 72 ultra-quality spiritual blades were forged, costing thirty-six million points of spiritual energy.
By the ti Han Fei crafted the 99th ultra-quality spiritual blade, he only had eight of the 386 ultra-quality materials and 1798 high-quality materials, left.
After another day, Han Fei walked out of Forge the Universe.
Wearing a green ultra-quality battle suit, with 99 ultra-quality spiritual blades floating around him, Han Fei held the ultra-quality whet stone in his left hand and hung the Blood Drinking Knife on his waist. An ultra-quality fishing pole was carried on his back, and the Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Bow in his right hand had been upgraded to ultra-quality too.
Their nas all remained the sa. Han Fei was too lazy to co up with new nas for them.
Han Fei grinned, wondering if his equipnt could be compared to Cao Qiu’s at this mont. Or rather, Han Fei even felt that his equipnt was probably more valuable than Cao Qiu’s.
His gear had been completely upgraded.
Of course, Han Fei had paid a high price too This ti, the massive manufacturing of weapons cost him 52 million points of spiritual energy in total.
Han Fei had considered whether or not he should lt the high-quality spiritual weapons and reforge them into ultra-quality spiritual weapons.
But then he realized that he would have to spend trendous amounts of spiritual energy, and that he didn’t have so much equipnt to squander. This was completely not a bargain. Therefore, Han Fei didn’t do it.
At this mont, Han Fei held a Sea Swallowing Seashell in his hand and grinned, ready to make offerings.
Before Han Fei was a level-46 Inferior Man-Fish.
At this mont, the brilliant sword Qi was everywhere, and the magnificence of the Million Knife Art couldn’t be better demonstrated. The Inferior Man-Fish, which equaled a Dangling Fisher, was unable to approach Han Fei at all.
After only one mont, the Inferior Man-Fish had more than a hundred cuts all over its body. No matter how strong it was, Han Fei simply bashed it back with his brick every ti the Inferior Man-Fish got closer to him. Han Fei wasn’t sure whether or not the appearance of the Lobster Demon was an accident. He had t a Lobster Demon on the 251st floor, and at this mont, he was on the 278th. He had only run into the Lobster Demon once, the Demon Shattering Vine three tis, no enemies once, and the Inferior Man-Fish in all the other levels.
They only gave two kinds of yields: Soul Crystals and Demon Spiritual Fruits. The proportion of the Soul Crystals was rather low, and the Demon Spiritual Fruit’s percentage was higher. The Demon Spiritual Fruits were given seven out of ten tis after Han Fei made offerings.
Han Fei already had almost thirty Demon Spiritual Fruits. He felt that his head was clearer and clearer, but since he didn’t have Soul Crystals, he didn’t know how much bigger his perception range could be expanded. However, he vaguely had a feeling that his perception range could be further expanded now.
On the 281st floor, Han Fei sacrificed almost two Sea Swallowing Seashells before he finally summoned one creature.
Han Fei’s eyes cramped when he laid his eyes on the creature.
“A rmaid?”
Han Fei felt that his eyes were deceiving him, because he saw a hideous woman right in front of his eyes who was grinning. But it wasn’t teeth in the rmaid’s mouth at all but more like saws. All the fangs were frighteningly sharp.
However, different from the Inferior Man-Fish, the creature before Han Fei had much clearer facial organs. She had a nose, human eyes, and vertical pupils. Her forehead was slightly wrinkled, but her long hair reached all the way to her waist. But her body was the main problem. Her upper half body was mostly covered in fish scales, and only a tiny part of it had human skin. As for her lower half body, it was a real fish tail that was blue and had shiny scales. “Shoot... A real rmaid!”
Data popped up in Han Fei’s eyes.
Half rmaid (Regular Sea Demon)
This is a sea demon that has just acquired intelligence. They’re a species that are against human beings. They are good at the rmaid Battle Technique. Their performance in a battle is different based on the different tricks they practice. It’s impossible to understand them.
46
1,221/4,661
Level-Four, Low-Quality
Transcended
Longevity Stone This is an amazing stone that may be born when a sea creature perishes. It contains abundant vitality. When taken, it can extend the life of an ordinary person by a hundred years, a Dangling Fishers’ life by ten years, and a Hanging Fishers or a Hidden Fishers’ life by one year.
“Sweet mother of god...”
Han Fei was dumbfounded. He had never t anything like this! It could extend the longevity of ordinary people by a hundred years and make a Dangling Fisher live ten more years? It must be a priceless treasure!
Han Fei wasn’t sure how valuable the creature who yielded this item was. That was longevity! If this stone was in soone else’s control, they would definitely consider it as their most valuable treasure and would never sell it.
Han Fei reached for the Longevity Stone. But his wrist suddenly hurt when he grabbed the stone.
“Shoot...”
Han Fei lowered his head, only to see that the Demon Purification Pot was out.
