【…】
Amidst the vast ocean, the Taoyuan ship braves the waves and forges ahead.
The sunlight reflected off his face, giving it a slightly bluish hue, and fell upon his handsome face.
However, the sea was black. As the saying goes, clear water is shallow, green water is deep, black water is abyss, and yellow water is turbulent, which shows that this sea area is extremely deep.
Su Ran lay half-reclined on the top of the cabin and glanced down at the deck. She saw that the fish tank in the center of the deck was mostly filled with ordinary fish and sighed helplessly.
Fishing is a skill that depends not only on technique but also on luck. Moreover, Su Ran's fishing technique was only recently learned and she was still at sea, so it would be good if she could catch any fish at all.
At that very moment, the buoy in the sea suddenly sank.
The usually composed and calm Teacher Su Ran immediately straightened up, tightened her grip on the fishing rod, and found that it was surprisingly heavy!
Su Ran's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face. If someone of his level could still feel the weight, it must be a big deal!
……
"This Teacher Taoyuan is really a strange person. Not only do his students say he has a bad temper, but he also has such eccentric behavior. He actually sits in the upper deck cabin every day and fishes."
"For the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to receive him, this Teacher Taoyuan must be of high status and not a commoner, yet he has such a hobby."
"Perhaps it's precisely because we're not native sea dwellers that we enjoy fishing. We, the native sea dwellers, just dive into the sea to catch our catch."
"However, this teacher Taoyuan's fishing skills are quite good. In the past two days, he has caught more than twenty fish, right? Although there are no rare fish, it's not bad."
"Nier, shh, let's not gossip too much. This Teacher Taoyuan doesn't seem easy to mess with. If our conversation gets overheard, we won't be in a good position. Let's just focus on completing the mission and making the money first."
"Yes, yes, the two of us sisters earn two hundred gold soul coins a day together. It will take at least twenty days to go round trip, which is four thousand gold soul coins. Adding the two thousand gold soul coins reward, we have a total of six thousand gold soul coins. After this trip, Mom and Dad won't have to work so hard at sea anymore. We can treat Dad's back pain, buy Mom a sparkly sea skirt, and we can even buy a good fishing boat..."
Marnie, the younger sister, was already looking forward to the life she would have after receiving the travel reward.
But at that very moment, a loud crash erupted from the side of the cockpit, sending up a violent spray of water. A giant, dark blue deep-sea squid rolled in the waves, and as it emerged from the water, its eight strong tentacles stirred the currents, creating a massive whirlpool that momentarily held the Taoyuan cruise ship captive.
"Sister...sister...is the King of Squid, a thousand-year-old creature!"
"That teacher from Taoyuan caught a giant deep-sea squid!"
"Stop advancing!"
Inside the cockpit, Mani stared in disbelief at the struggling Squid King outside.
This was the first time she had ever seen someone catch a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast by fishing. This was not luck, but a calamity!
A sea spirit beast with ten thousand years of cultivation, without the protection of a powerful spirit master, could cause most ships to perish in the ocean!
"It's a giant black sea creature from the deep sea that's 20,000 to 30,000 years old. It has such a strong vortex suction force. That's interesting."
"Moon! Moon!"
Su Ran exerted force on the top deck, causing the entire Peach Blossom Spring ship to tilt and show signs of capsizing. Su Ran could only use his soul power to gain leverage and called out to Shui Yue'er twice.
Shui Yue'er was also attracted by the commotion and quickly ran out. When she saw Da Hei Mo, her expression changed:
"Teacher, what do you want me to do? I can't move a squid king that's twenty or thirty thousand years old!"
"I can suck on my teacher's breath, but I can't achieve that kind of powerful suction!"
"Teacher, this squid is so big, you can't keep it on your boat even if you catch it, right?"
Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran were also alarmed and spoke up.
"Moon, how many years old is your fourth spirit ring?"
"In response to the teacher, it was ten thousand years, and it was a ten-thousand-year soul ring that I barely absorbed after using a medicinal bath to temper my body at the academy."
"This squid king is almost perfect as your fifth spirit ring. Your dolphin water-type martial spirit has low destructive power in the early stages of its spirit skills. If you get the destructive power boost from this squid king, your ability to withstand pressure will be greatly improved."
Only then did a lone figure appear at the top of the deck. Holding a fishing rod, he tugged and released, reeling in the squid until the king squid was exhausted and floated to the surface. Only then did Su Ran speak to Shui Yue'er and the others:
"Do you want this spirit ring? If so, then make your move!"
"I want it! Teacher, I want it!"
Shui Yue'er exclaimed excitedly, as four soul rings—yellow, purple, and black—appeared beneath her feet, signifying the arrival of the Jade Pig of the Azure Sea.
Of her four soul skills, the first two are enhancement and movement-related, while the third soul skill is Dolphin Water Ball, which transforms her into a dolphin and descends from the sky to drop a water ball with lethality. Although it has some power, the damage is not high, and it is more of a cover. Therefore, her soul skills were not outstanding in the previous Soul Master Competition.
After joining Peach Blossom Academy, Su Ran planned her 40,000th-year soul skill, which is a water tornado skill that can be used in combination with the third soul skill. It is a water tornado with considerable control and damage, and the dolphin water ball left by the third soul skill can also form an additional water tornado.
For this fifth soul skill, we should naturally consider skills with greater destructive power.
"Freeze!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Frost Spike!"
At the same time, five spirit rings, yellow, purple, and black, appeared beneath Shui Bing'er's feet, and she quickly activated two spirit skills.
The seawater around the Deep Sea Squid King was frozen, and the Squid King's body stiffened. A gleaming ice spike was spat out from the mouth of the Martial Soul Ice Phoenix and pierced directly into the Squid King's body. Immediately, a black ink and a faint smell of blood spread out.
Yue'er wasn't very aggressive in the early stages, so as her older sister, she should have helped her out.
"Thank you, sister. I'll do the rest myself. My teacher taught me that the best results come from doing it yourself!"
Shui Yue'er leaped off the deck of the Peach Blossom Cruise, her graceful body moving through the ocean like a dolphin. Using her sister's frozen platform, she soared atop it, her two enhanced spirit rings flashing, water flowing between her hands, and she let out a delicate shout:
"Flowing water, shattered rocks!"
"Flowing water, shattered rocks!"
Her fist slammed into the Squid King's forehead, creating a bloody crater.
However, her Flowing Rock Shattering Fist was not yet fully developed, and its damage was not enough to kill in one punch; she could only throw multiple punches.
Soon, the ice around the Squid King disintegrated and shattered. The pain enraged the Squid King, and its eight enormous tentacles slammed into the water, creating waves tens of meters high that swept towards Shui Yue'er.
"not good."
This scene caused concern among students such as Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan.
But seeing that the teacher was still holding the fishing rod and didn't interfere, I could only pray in my heart.
"Senior Brother Wang Sheng's profound technique, 'Comprehensive Understanding,' isn't powerful enough, so we'll make up for it with more repetitions!"
"A hundred punches in a second!"
Rumble!
A violent sound rang out from the swirling waves.
As the whirlpool gradually subsided, a jet-black spirit ring appeared in the sea.
Su Ran suddenly pulled, and the squid king's corpse crashed onto the deck of the Peach Blossom Cruise with a loud thud, turning the deck black with thick ink.
Shui Bing'er, Qiu Ruoshui and other students rushed forward to check on the situation.
A quarter of an hour later, a Soul Master appeared inside, her entire body shimmering with five rings of yellow, purple, and black. Her fifth Soul Ring flashed, and a sound rang out:
"Sister, move aside."
"Fifth Soul Skill, Return, Tide!"
boom!
A dolphin-shaped water ring with a diameter of two meters formed in front of Shui Yue'er, and a terrifying jet of water gushed out from it, actually piercing through the Squid King's corpse!
