"Right, Boss!"
Thinking of Su Yuan, Bai Tangwen suddenly jolted awake to reality.
Although they had survived unscathed, the sea storm they just experienced was no illusion, and the hull had endured a trendous impact.
They were relatively safe tucked away inside their rooms, but what about Su Yuan?
He had been sitting out on the bow the entire ti.
Realizing this, Bai Tangwen imdiately rushed out.
"Boss!"
Bai Tangwen quickly spotted Su Yuan, who was still sitting cross-legged at the bow of the ship.
Compared to before they entered the stormy area, Su Yuan looked absolutely no different. There was not a single trace of water on his clothes, as if the torrential sea storm they just weathered was nothing more than a hallucination.
Zhao Ru trotted over as well. Seeing that Su Yuan was perfectly fine, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Boss,"
Zhao Ru called out respectfully.
At this point, even a fool would realize that Su Yuan was no ordinary person.
Knowing the exact duration of the storm in advance? Did he have a massive organization behind him, analyzing the storm's intensity via satellites to predict its conclusion?
And sitting on the bow through a raging storm without a single drop of water touching him? That had to be his own ability. Was he a powerful cultivator?
"Clean up the ship and let us continue our voyage,"
Su Yuan casually instructed.
After enduring the sea storm, the ship was now littered with sea fish, various types of marine plants, and other oceanic debris.
"Understood."
Bai Tangwen nodded at once.
He imdiately joined the two crew mbers in cleaning up the ss.
Hum. The ship set sail once again.
Heading toward the destination Su Yuan had set.
During this leg of the journey, the captain and the two crew mbers were significantly more well-behaved.
They had not heard Su Yuan say 'there won't be any danger' beforehand.
However, after passing through a violent storm, Su Yuan, who had been sitting on the bow, remained completely untouched from head to toe.
Even an idiot could tell there was sothing extraordinary about this abnormality.
Coupled with Bai Tangwen's ruthless action of pointing a gun at the captain earlier.
The captain easily deduced that these three passengers were not people he could afford to provoke.
Naturally, he decided to be as obedient and cooperative as possible.
The sea breeze brushed against his face.
Sitting at the bow of the ship, Su Yuan allowed his consciousness to slowly spread out in all directions.
'The strength of marine creatures is vastly superior to those on land,'
Su Yuan thought to himself.
From the mont they set out to sea until now, sitting there on the bow, he had faintly detected the auras of at least twelve Level 1 lifeforms.
Twelve sea beasts that were Level 1 lifeforms?
If this were on land, such a density would be unimaginable.
'The ocean is vastly larger than the land. Coupled with the fact that there is hardly any human presence here and an enormous base population of living beings, it is perfectly normal for more Level 1 lifeforms to be born here,'
Su Yuan reasoned in his mind.
The reason Level 1 exotic beasts were incredibly rare on land was that they had endured nurous Great Purges by humanity.
For example, when Great Xia was founded, a Great Purge was quietly carried out against all exotic beasts Level 1 and above within the country's borders.
The Level 1 exotic beasts that survived to this day were either exceptionally difficult to deal with, or posed little threat while remaining hard to kill.
Take the two Snake Mothers in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Border, for instance. They hid hundreds of ters underground year-round, rarely erging, and thus did not pose much of a threat to humanity.
That was why they had not been included in the official extermination targets of Great Xia.
Ti ticked by.
In the blink of an eye, several more hours passed.
"We are here."
Su Yuan's mind gave a slight jolt. From the gray mirror deep within his sea of consciousness, he confird that his current location was exactly near the Shallow Sea Layer where the Mutant Dragonfish was scheduled to arrive.
"Stop!"
Su Yuan ordered. Beside him, Bai Tangwen imdiately turned and gestured for the captain to halt the ship.
"This is the destination?"
The captain glanced at the boundless ocean stretching in all directions. He did not ask any further questions, simply dropping the anchor and bringing the vessel to a stop.
Soon after.
The ship ca to a complete halt.
"In two hours, that Mutant Dragonfish will follow the submarine ocean currents to this Shallow Sea Layer,"
Su Yuan murmured from the bow of the ship, looking at a spot three hundred ters to the front left.
That was the precise location where the Mutant Dragonfish would erge.
Inside the ship cabin, Bai Tangwen and Zhao Ru were resting, taking the opportunity to drink so water and replenish their stamina.
The deck was currently baking under the scorching sun. Since they were only ordinary people, they could not absorb solar energy like Su Yuan. After standing outside for a short while, they found it unbearable and had retreated inside for a break.
"Why did the Boss have the ship stop here?"
Zhao Ru was a bit curious. There was absolutely nothing nearby, just endless seawater in every direction.
"I heard that those powerful cultivators can eavesdrop on conversations from hundreds of ters away."
Bai Tangwen shot Zhao Ru a warning look. "Watch what you say. Do not talk about the Boss behind his back."
"I was just wondering out loud." Zhao Ru imdiately fell silent, too intimidated to continue the topic.
Towards Su Yuan, she felt a profound sense of awe mixed with fear. After all, the abilities he had displayed during the sea storm were simply inconceivable.
Out on the bow.
Su Yuan sat cross-legged.
The intense exposure to the sun did not cause him any discomfort; instead, he felt exceptionally comfortable. His skin basked in the warmth, which gradually seeped deep into his physical body, warming his very flesh and internal organs.
Although the efficiency of absorbing solar energy was not particularly high, it was still a steady intake of power.
Two hours flashed by in the blink of an eye.
In the very next second.
Su Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in ditation.
Silently opened his eyes.
'Now is the ti!'
Su Yuan leaped to his feet in an instant. With a wave of his hand, he opened the black case and effortlessly grasped the Jet-Black Long Spear, which weighed an imnse four hundred kilograms. Then—
He drew his right arm back, his entire body arching backward like a fully drawn bow as he assud a flawless throwing stance.
Whoosh!
An invisible aura spread out wildly. Gripping the Jet-Black Long Spear tightly, Su Yuan unleashed the full strength of his physical body while simultaneously channeling his spiritual power into the weapon.
For a mont, the Jet-Black Long Spear grew even darker and more profound, devouring all the surrounding energy like a black hole.
Boom!!!
Su Yuan's right arm snapped forward with explosive force, his grip releasing the spear at the precise mont.
The Jet-Black Long Spear transford into a bolt of dark lightning. It tore through the air instantly, hurtling straight toward a spot three hundred ters to his front right.
Beneath the surface of the ocean, a golden shadow rapidly ascended from the bottom of the deep sea, following the submarine ocean currents up to the Shallow Sea Layer.
This golden shadow was only four or five ters long, but its scales radiated a brilliant golden light. Wherever it passed, the oppressive aura of a superior being perated the waters. Even formidable Level 1 and Level 2 sea beasts were forced to retreat before this overwhelming pressure.
The golden shadow was a massive fish, yet the aura it emitted was high and mighty, looming imperiously over all living things.
'Ah, it is still the most comfortable up here, so bright and shiny...'
This golden shadow was none other than the Mutant Dragonfish. At this mont, it was in a rather joyful mood.
Possessing a noble bloodline, its intelligence was naturally quite high—perhaps even sharper than that of an average human.
Unfortunately, the environnt in the Shallow Sea Layer was unsuitable for its cultivation. It would only venture up here once every hundred years when the submarine ocean currents allowed.
'Let take a look at the world above the surface...'
The Mutant Dragonfish leaped upward, bursting out of the ocean's surface.
However.
Before it could even survey its surroundings, it saw a speck of dark spear light hurtling toward it with terrifying, lethal precision, intent on piercing straight through.
