Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Sea Battle (2)_1

Fen Li slapped on Fen Li’s head and said, "Look at you, you little rascal, poking fun at me!"

Stepping back twice, Fen Li replied with a laugh, "Then, Young Pavilion Master, please be up early tomorrow morning." She then turned and went back to her tent.

Who could have imagined that the gentle and formidable Young Pavilion Master of Fen Jian, the City Lord of Pearl City, was such a lover of sleep? Moreover, he had severe difficulty waking up. He always had to wake up naturally; otherwise, he’d spend the whole day with a frown. To avoid his grumpy morning mood, once, when traveling, the Saint Heir of the Divine Temple had his men break camp and leave, leaving him alone on an island for a month. He was only picked up by a passing Divine Temple ship and brought back to Holy Sea City. Since then, Fen Jian’s reputation for loving sleep had spread.

"Hei Yu, you must wake me up tomorrow morning, got it?" Fen Jian grunted, "I don’t believe I can’t get up!"

Some Phantom Beast in the Phantom Beast Space couldn’t help but roll its eyes. How many times have you said that without any effect? Wouldn’t it be better if you went to sleep earlier now?

Early the next day, everyone packed up and boarded the ship to depart. True to form, Fen Jian was the last to rise, even later than Dan Jingtian.

As the ship continued eastward, they soon left Huisha Bay behind. Since the ocean starts to all look the same after a while, the initial excitement and curiosity waned, and everyone opted to practice in their rooms.

Dugu Qianye left Xiaojiu on lookout duty and entered the Refining Demon Pot to practice, emerging only at meal times. Time in the Refining Demon Pot passed more slowly than outside, and the concentration of Phantom Power was more substantial, making practice twice as effective.

That day, as Dugu Qianye was practicing a Phantom Technique, she suddenly felt Xiaojiu’s call. She hurried back to her room and heard a commotion outside. Upon seeing Dugu Qianye emerge, Xiaojiu rushed to say, "Master, there seems to be a situation outside."

Picking up Xiaojiu, Dugu Qianye came up on deck and saw that students from the four empires and people from the Divine Temple were all gathered. Fen Jian and Shen Wanqing stood in the front, their expressions grave. She walked over to Mo Ziqing and the others, inquiring, "What happened?"

"It seems we’ve encountered a Sea Phantom Beast," Mo Ziqing saw Dugu Qianye, pulled her to his side, and replied, "The people from the Divine Temple say this one seems unusual."

Looking out to sea, Dugu Qianye indeed saw swarms of Phantom Beasts surrounding the ship. At a glance, there must have been at least seven to eight hundred, each measuring five to ten meters in length.

"What’s so unusual?"

These are Tiger Whales. It’s said that during this season Tiger Whales should be in the North Sea Domain, only returning here in November. They shouldn’t be here at this time, and there are so many of them. The Divine Temple has never encountered such an incident before," Gao Liang answered.

"Could there be a special situation in the North Sea Domain?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"It seems likely. It’s just that we don’t know exactly what happened that’s causing these Phantom Beasts to act so abnormally."

"Come on, brother, stop worrying about those things. We are in a serious situation right now," Dan Jingtian put an arm around Dugu Qianye’s shoulder and said, "We’re bound to fight soon, and I’m afraid it will draw even more Phantom Beasts."

"Young Master Dan is right. If we start a fight, the scent of blood will spread quickly. Sea Phantom Beasts have a keener sense of smell and are faster. The moment they smell blood, more Phantom Beasts will come. That’s why we usually avoid Phantom Beasts to prevent battles," Fen Li, standing by, followed up after hearing Dan Jingtian’s words.

"Is that so? Looks like we can’t avoid it today," Dugu Qianye said darkly, staring at the Tiger Whales.

"Why the..." Dan Jingtian’s words were cut short as he felt the ship being violently rammed, causing the entire vessel to shake. Some, caught off guard, lost their balance and fell over.

Following the first one came the second, and the Tiger Whales near the ship began striking the hull. Buffeted by the blows, the ship rocked from side to side, and its passengers swayed along.

"Ah, it’s going to capsize!"

"I can’t stand it, I’m getting dizzy."

"Didn’t they say this ship could resist attacks from anything less than a Divine Beast? Why is it like this now?"

"They said it could withstand attacks from anything below a Divine Beast, meaning the ship won’t break, not that it won’t rock! Do you think this is land?!"

Thankfully, everyone on board was relatively strong and quickly found their balance in this environment, preventing themselves from falling to the deck.

Fen Jian looked at the people staggering and the Sea Phantom Beasts tirelessly attacking the ship and said, "It seems that today’s battle is inevitable. Divine Temple disciples, begin your attack."

At his command, the people of the Divine Temple began to gather Phantom Power and launched attacks at the Phantom Beasts, quickly eliminating the nearby Tiger Whales. With no more strikes, the ship slowly regained stability.

As soon as the first group of Tiger Whales was wiped out, a second group surrounded them, and the people on board started the next round of attacks. Thus began a cycle of warfare. Unfortunately, the scent of blood indeed attracted many other Phantom Beasts, such as Cuttlefish with tentacles tens of meters long and Swordfish with sharp, elongated beaks. Although these Phantom Beasts were not high-level, their sheer numbers posed a formidable challenge to the people on board, who were already nearly exhausted in both Phantom Power and stamina.

What they feared most now was that the commotion here would attract high-level Sea Phantom Beasts from the depths!

A Cuttlefish’s tentacle suddenly reached onto the ship and was chopped off by a Sword Master’s blade, while another tentacle wrapped around the ship’s mast. As it pulled, the ship was rocked yet again. Dugu Qianye noticed and threw a fireball, which turned the offending tentacle to ashes. She was becoming more and more adept at converting Phantom Power into elemental Phantom Power.

As the battle stretched on, more and more Sea Phantom Beasts appeared, while the people on the ship were wearing out, including Fen Jian and Shen Wanqing. Although their contracted Phantom Beasts were older and exerted a strong presence, such pressure was not as effective against Sea Phantom Beasts as it was against land-based ones.

"Ah! Help!"

A student from Glei Empire was caught by a Cuttlefish and spun around high in the air, about to be dragged into the water when a silver-white light erupted from a third-floor room and severed the tentacle. Now lacking support, the student started falling straight into the water, too terrified to make a sound.

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone, and as the student was about to plunge into the sea, a figure emerged from the same room and moved quickly across the water to catch him, then flew into mid-air, avoiding the attacks from other Phantom Beasts.

Only then did everyone clearly see that the person hovering mid-air was Wu Qihua, the team leader from Glei Empire. He flew down and placed the student on the deck, then addressed another room on the third floor, "Elder Xie, we’d better take care of these pests quickly."

"Haha, since the show has been entertaining enough, I suppose this old man should join the fun too! Although it’s not particularly thrilling, it barely catches the eye," Xie Ping’s figure appeared on the deck following his words.
