Splash!
Sea water sprays into the air, and white seagulls pierce the sky, diving swiftly to snatch a small fish.
With a flap of their wings, they rise again, carrying their prey into the heavens.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest...."
Witnessing this scene, the black-haired young man in a black trench coat steps on the sea surface as if it were solid ground.
In the distance, dark clouds gather over the island, as if a hurricane is forming.
Ships with masts are docked along the shore, various flags waving in the wind.
Hurricane Island, the southernmost island of the Fertile Continent, also marks the border of the Steel Kingdom.
Nurous fleets co and go, with occasional appearances by powerful individuals.
For this, Chen Feng remains calm, walking step by step on the water, gradually sensing a familiar aura approaching.
"Shh!!"
Under the deep blue sea, the ghostly blue form of the Octopus Giant Beast appears.
Its skull-shaped head and bulging eyes stare, while its dozen or so tentacles gently sway, quickly reaching out to the surface, amiably touching Chen Feng’s palm.
"You’ve grown again."
Rubbing the sowhat textured surface of the tentacle, Chen Feng can see the massive octopus beneath the sea using his Perception.
The creature’s bulging eyes emit a blue-green glow, and in their mutual gaze, there seems to be a hint of excitent and flattery.
When he first subdued it, Jia Ta was only about thirteen to fourteen ters in size.
Now, it has nearly reached sixteen ters.
Its aura has also risen slightly, reaching the level of the Fifth Order Peak.
"Have you eaten sothing good?"
Through the link of Soul Fire, Chen Feng curiously asks.
"Shh!"
Jia Ta nods, saying it has hunted many sea beasts in the nearby seabed.
This area is more expansive than the waters of Falling Eagle Island, and so of the sea beasts taste quite delicious.
Knowing it is not lying, Chen Feng ponders.
One of the rulers of the Deep Sea, a special Star Realm Creature.
This is the bloodline information about Jia Ta ntioned by the panel.
"So, as long as you consu enough sea beasts, you can accelerate your growth."
"Just like humans need enough nutrition from childhood to adulthood."
Under the Soul Fire, nothing is hidden from Chen Feng, and he can glimpse many secrets.
Understanding its uniqueness and knowing that its bloodline potential is high and likely still in its growth phase, Chen Feng does not probe further.
After all, the stronger it becos, the more it can aid him.
Buzz!
Imdiately, with a command, Jia Ta manipulates the water.
A whirlpool forms beneath Chen Feng’s feet, and he sinks down, letting Jia Ta carry him underwater towards Hurricane Island.
The seabed is vast, with erald seaweed and ruby coral visible.
The eyes take in gray sand and sea mud, among which are crabs, shrimps, and colorful small fish....
The sound of waves rolls over, and Jia Ta has clearly beco the overlord of the surroundings.
Wherever it goes, many weaker marine creatures hide and flee, as if recalling the scene where they witnessed so large sea beasts being hunted by it.
Chen Feng takes a brief look, sitting atop the skull-shaped head of Jia Ta, gazing towards the surface.
From dark to erald, then to the brightness near the top.
Rippling waves, sunlight spills down.
A shadow slowly passes by, a large multi-mast sailing ship, followed by several others, clearly forming a large fleet.
Above, the fleet’s flag resembles a red scepter; Chen Feng withdraws his gaze, gradually catching sight of the seabed geography below Hurricane Island.
....
"Hmm?"
The fleet advances, the waves unceasing.
Inside the cabin, a robe-clad elderly mage opens his eyes from ditation, a trace of doubt flashing montarily.
Was soone spying on just now?
Puzzled, he extends his spiritual power further in ditation.
Encompassing the ship, and even sinking towards the sea.
No anomalies, only a glimpse of a ghostly blue giant shadow crossing with the fleet, gradually moving away.
Brows furrowed, a man in a mage apprentice robe inside the cabin nervously asks.
"Teacher?"
"It’s nothing."
"Just seed like I saw sothing big."
The elderly mage shakes his head.
It seems the rumors are true, and perhaps a Sea Beast Overlord has indeed been born near Hurricane Island.
It’s uncertain if, this ti while escorting Lady Soya back, there will be a chance to hunt and dominate it.
....
The sound of water quietly rises, then quickly vanishes and conceals itself.
On the northern coast of Hurricane Island, a desolate clearing close to woodland and beach.
A boy in a brown cotton jacket stands behind a tree, hands in his pockets, alert and scanning his surroundings.
"I wonder when Lord Feng Chen will appear."
This thought flashes, and this wait has lasted for many days, but no figure has appeared.
Without thinking much, he shakes his head.
No matter when Lord Feng Chen shows up, he must follow the instructions and wait patiently.
He glances again at the woodland and occasionally scans the sea surface.
Unbeknownst to him, mist rises here, as if ford by evaporating water vapor.
A pair of eyes emitting a blue-green glow, as big as a human, appears and approaches.
Pupils constrict, Trin shivers, nearly fleeing in fear.
But quickly, the blue-green glow dissipates, a figure steps on the sea surface, erging slowly from the mist.
"Lord, Lord Feng Chen?"
His gaze focuses, almost thinking he is seeing an illusion.
In the next mont.
The mist dissipates into the air, the young man in black clothes steps onto the island, coming before him.
A thick palm ruffles his hair, a smile appearing on the ruggedly handso face.
"Long ti no see."
"Little Trin."
....
More than ten minutes later.
With the sound of footsteps fading from the woodland, they reach the interior of the island, rging among the crowd on the streets.
