175: Chapter 175 The Mysterious Girl in the Ocean
Su Ling was unaware of the changes happening on Sea God Island, and the Sea God had not sent him any information separately.
For the past few days, Su Ling had been flying at full speed across the ocean, wanting to visit the Sun Moon Continent to see what it was like, so his trip to the Douluo Continent wouldn't be in vain.
After Shui Binger finished speaking, everyone understood that she still had a competitor for her trials. Passing the nine trials did not necessarily mean she would truly become the Sea God; she still needed to defeat her rival.
"Binger!"
"Sister Binger!"
"Regardless of what kind of trial-taker he is, we all support you in defeating him." Among the goddesses in Su Ling's group, they naturally all supported Shui Binger.
"Okay!" Shui Binger nodded. Everyone's support gave her some confidence, but her greatest source of confidence came from Su Ling.
With Su Ling there, she felt very reassured, as if any difficulty could be overcome.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Divine Realm!
"Sea God, you actually snatched my backup successor!" the Asura God said, somewhat angrily.
The Sea God smiled and said, "Didn't you also find two successors? I'm just having two successors compete as well."
For so many years, qualified successors had been rare, but suddenly, many people who met the conditions for the Legacy appeared, each more talented than the last.
"Indeed, this Tang San actually went to your Sea God Island for training."
"However, on the continent, I have already let another successor begin her trials. Now... I have already given her the Asura Nine Trials," the Asura God said with a smug look.
"Oh... the Asura Nine Trials. So, have you given up on Tang San?" the Sea God asked.
The Asura God shook his head and said, "It's not exactly giving up. It depends on whether he can defeat the successor you chose previously. If he is defeated, then he has no qualifications to be my successor."
"You..."
"Fine, then let's wait and see," the Sea God said.
"Actually, among them, there is a Genius with extraordinary talent, it seems his name is Su Ling. He actually rejected my trial," the Asura God said with an unhappy expression.
The Sea God said, "What's the big deal? He also rejected my trial."
"This guy, does he want to prove his own God Position?" the Asura God muttered. "However, for my successor, should I add a condition to the trials: defeat the Sea God's successor?"
...
On the ocean, Su Ling flew at high speed every day. When his Soul Power was insufficient, he would recover it. When he was tired, he would deploy the super qianlong submarine to rest, or stop at passing islands to take a break.
On the fifth day after Su Ling left Sea God Island!
While flying, Su Ling suddenly stopped because there was a huge commotion not far from him.
It seemed like two Spirit Beasts were fighting.
Let's go take a look; if it's a powerful sea Spirit Beast, I can obtain some blood.
Activating the Eye of True Sight, Su Ling observed while flying, wanting to see what kind of sea Spirit Beasts were fighting first.
After flying for less than a minute, Su Ling's Eye of True Sight detected them.
A Sea Dragon, dozens of meters long, with an age exceeding two hundred thousand years. It also seemed to have mutated because it had two heads.
The other Spirit Beast, Su Ling did not recognize. Its appearance was somewhat peculiar, even a bit strange, a bit like the Naga Su Ling had seen on the internet in his previous life, with six arms.
It not only possessed water attributes but also lightning attributes.
Its age was also around two hundred thousand years!
The battle between the two was spectacular. Su Ling could see the situation clearly, so he didn't get too close.
In this World, the ocean area was much larger than the land. Various Spirit Beasts in the ocean emerged one after another, and their numbers were countless times those on land.
Therefore, there must be many sea Spirit Beasts over one hundred thousand years old, certainly not just those mentioned in the novel.
After all, most of the opponents of sea Spirit Beasts were natural predators, while Spirit Masters were secondary.
Thus, in the vast ocean, they had plenty of room to survive, which was conducive to their growth.
Su Ling stood in the air and observed for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before taking action. The battle between the two Spirit Beasts had reached its end; their bodies were covered in wounds of all sizes, and blood was flowing out. It was the perfect time for Su Ling to make an entrance.
"Six-Armed Freak, today I will kill you." The Two-Headed Sea Dragon had gained the upper hand at this moment.
"Two-Headed Worm, you've been saying that for tens of thousands of years. When have you ever been able to kill me?"
"Indeed, for tens of thousands of years, we have fought no less than a hundred times. Let's end it here this time." After saying this, the Two-Headed Sea Dragon wanted to leave.
The Six-Armed Thunder Naga also said, "Fine, I'll wait for you to come challenge me again."
The two Spirit Beasts had many injuries, but none were fatal. It seemed that years of fighting had forged a certain friendship.
On the ocean, both sides had transformed into human form.
"Eh... Two-Headed, look at what that is."
"Six-Armed Freak, I'm not looking back. Are you trying to ambush me again?"
"No, it's not. It's a human."
"A human?"
"How could there be a human in this place? It's over five thousand nautical miles from the continent over there; humans wouldn't dare to set foot in this place."
"It really is a human."
While they were talking, Su Ling had already arrived.
Su Ling had originally hoped to encounter a female Spirit Beast, but he didn't expect both to be male.
After getting closer, the Two-Headed Sea Dragon discovered Su Ling's presence and stood together with the Six-Armed Thunder Naga.
"Human, are you here seeking death?" the Six-Armed Thunder Naga asked.
Su Ling shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm just passing by. Seeing you fighting so lively and both being injured, I came over to ask for something."
"Human, do you want to take the Spirit Bone from our bodies? Don't dream!" the Two-Headed Sea Dragon said.
Su Ling smiled and said, "Cliché. What use do I have for your Spirit Bone?"
Both Spirit Beasts were speechless. The Two-Headed Sea Dragon said, "Are you looking down on us?"
A human who could come here was definitely not a pushover. They had just finished a battle, their consumption was not small, and they were covered in injuries, likely able to exert only sixty or seventy percent of their strength at peak condition.
Su Ling said, "No, I really don't need it."
"Then what do you want?" the Six-Armed Thunder Naga looked at Su Ling vigilantly and asked.
"Blood. Just give me some blood, not much, just fill this bottle each."
Su Ling took out two bottles, each capable of holding about one kilogram. For the two massive Spirit Beasts, this amount was very small; they had lost much more than this in the battle just now.
"You..."
Taking blood from them was simply a humiliation for two sea Spirit Beasts over two hundred thousand years old.
After all, over a vast expanse of the ocean, they were undisputed overlords.
"Human, if you have the ability, come take it yourself. If you can defeat both of us at the same time, the blood is yours," the Two-Headed Sea Dragon said.
Su Ling knew that the two Spirit Beasts wouldn't give it so easily.
"Since that's the case, let's begin."
Releasing his Spirit, as Su Ling's spirit ring appeared one by one, both Spirit Beasts couldn't help but purse their lips.
Nine spirit rings: Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red, Red, Gold, Gold.
Four Black, Three Red, Two Gold!
Looking at the Aura radiating from Su Ling, both Spirit Beasts suddenly panicked a bit.
They had seen humans before, but the human in front of them had already transcended their understanding.
Raising the Primordial War Bow, Su Ling said, "My arrows have no eyes. If you give the blood now, there's still a chance. Otherwise, I might not be able to control myself during the fight and kill you."
"Hmph, let's fight!"
After speaking, both Spirit Beasts transformed back into their Spirit Beast forms.
The Six-Armed Thunder Naga gathered lightning power, and the Two-Headed Sea Dragon's two heads also condensed energy to bombard Su Ling.
"Good!" Su Ling directly condensed two arrows. The arrows had rotation, but Su Ling didn't use full power, probably only sixty percent.
Swish...
The arrows were shot directly towards the two sea Spirit Beasts simultaneously.
Both sea Spirit Beasts also launched their own attacks, which collided with Su Ling's arrows.
And in the next instant, Su Ling moved!
With one Teleportation, he arrived beside the Two-Headed Sea Dragon, lifted the Primordial War Bow, and struck directly.
Su Ling's strength was not small, and this strike flipped it over.
Su Ling used another Teleportation to deal with the Six-Armed Thunder Naga. The opponent also had six arms, and the previous attack let him know that Su Ling could use Teleportation, so he was prepared.
As soon as Su Ling appeared, one arm struck directly.
Su Ling said, "Just in time. I haven't used the Eight Desolations Fist for a long time."
He threw a punch, facing the arm of the Six-Armed Thunder Naga that was gathering lightning.
The tremendous power was fed back. The Six-Armed Thunder Naga was in immense pain; he could already hear the sound of his arm bones cracking.
However, he still blasted the lightning power onto Su Ling.
But after the lightning, the human in front of him seemed completely fine.
As for the power of lightning, Su Ling naturally didn't fear it.
"Continue!"
Su Ling raised the Primordial War Bow again, firing arrows in succession, attacking both Spirit Beasts simultaneously.
Facing the arrows shot one after another, each one had significant power.
Both Spirit Beasts could only struggle to cope!
They were already injured, and with Su Ling launching attacks, it was hard for their bodies to dodge.
"Human, we admit defeat. The blood is yours," the Two-Headed Sea Dragon said.
In just this short while, the blood lost from the injuries they sustained was more than enough to fill a bottle.
"That's right." Seeing this, Su Ling threw the bottles and said, "Fill them yourselves."
It's good when Spirit Beasts have intelligence; they are reasonable.
They also knew that a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him; those who recognize current circumstances are heroes.
Before long, the two bottles filled with blood returned to Su Ling's hand.
But the two Spirit Beasts still looked at Su Ling very vigilantly.
After all, Su Ling hadn't used his full strength in the previous battle, nor had he used any Spirit Ability. The golden spirit rings were especially conspicuous; they probably knew what this spirit ring color represented.
"Human, we gave you the blood. Can we go now?" the Six-Armed Thunder Naga asked.
"You can go, but I have some things I need to ask you," Su Ling said.
"Human, speak," the Two-Headed Sea Dragon said.
Su Ling said, "Do you know the Sun Moon Continent?"
"Sun Moon Continent, we know it."
"It's over there, about five thousand nautical miles away," the Two-Headed Sea Dragon said.
Confirming the direction, Su Ling discovered that the direction he had been flying was correct, and he would arrive soon.
"Good, I know. Next question: do you know if there are any other sea Spirit Beasts of one hundred thousand years or older in the nearby sea area? I need some blood for research. Rest assured, I won't harm your lives." Su Ling said.
When he didn't need spirit rings, Su Ling wouldn't kill Spirit Beasts indiscriminately.
It wasn't easy for such sea Spirit Beasts to grow, and he wouldn't hunt them just for Spirit Bone. After all, Su Ling wasn't lacking in Spirit Bone; they could all be opened from treasure chests.
And treasure chests were relatively easy to obtain, as were Spirit Bones.
"Yes, there are two more. One is a Spirit Beast that has just passed one hundred thousand years by a few hundred years, and another is a Spirit Beast with an age of over four hundred thousand years." the Six-Armed Thunder Naga said.
"What kind of Spirit Beast?" Su Ling asked. He was immediately interested in the over four hundred thousand years one.
"An Amethyst Mysterious Turtle of over four hundred and eighty thousand years. Its attack is average, but its defense is astonishing. Neither of us can break its defense." the Six-Armed Thunder Naga said.
"Extremely strong defense? That's not bad. Take me there. What else?" Su Ling said.
The Two-Headed Sea Dragon said, "There is also a one hundred thousand year sea Spirit Beast, transformed from an Ocean Elf. We all call her Hai Linger! Don't look down on her just because she only reached one hundred thousand years; she can utilize the power of the ocean, and her ability is not much worse than ours."
"However, we heard a few years ago that she seemed to be preparing to transform, wanting to become a human. We don't know how she is now."
"Transform?" Su Ling didn't expect to encounter a transforming Spirit Beast here.
"When did you hear that?" Su Ling asked.
"About ten or twenty years ago, I forgot the exact time." the Two-Headed Sea Dragon said.
Su Ling said, "Take me there!"
"Human, where are you going first?"
"Find that Amethyst Mysterious Turtle first!" Su Ling said.
Looking at the injuries all over the two Spirit Beasts, Su Ling waved one hand and helped them recover a bit.
"I'll help you recover simply. Although it can't heal you completely, the external injuries should be fine." Su Ling said.
This time, the two Spirit Beasts were shocked again. The human in front of them even had a skill to help with recovery.
The more they looked, the more they felt Su Ling was powerful!
Fortunately, the other party didn't want their lives, otherwise they might have both died here.
"Let's go, take me there!"
"Human, do you want me to give you a ride?" the Two-Headed Sea Dragon said.
"Sure!"
Su Ling landed directly, standing on the back of the Two-Headed Sea Dragon, and the Two-Headed Sea Dragon flew low over the ocean surface.
This was the result of showing powerful strength!
At the beginning, Su Ling had released his level 98 Soul Power, and the battle was not dragging, which was why these two Spirit Beasts could be obedient.
Between obedience and death, they would still make a choice.
"Human, more than fifty years have passed since we last went to the Amethyst Mysterious Turtle, it might not be there." During the flight, the Two-Headed Sea Dragon also reminded him.
"As long as you bring me to the right place, I won't blame you if it's not there." Su Ling said.
...
On a small island in the ocean!
"Grandpa Purple, when can I finally go to the Sun Moon Continent? I have been transformed for sixteen years!" A young girl wearing a sea-blue dress asked.
"Linger, you are only level 49 and have not yet reached maturity. Only when you reach maturity, which is level 60 or above, will powerful human Spirit Masters be unable to discover you. Only then can you go."
The speaker was an old man in purple clothes, with purple hair, and he looked about sixty-seven years old.
"I have to wait until after level 60!"
"I feel like I'm about to reach level 50. At my speed, doesn't that mean I have to wait for more than five years? Going then would be too boring." The young girl was very dissatisfied.
"Grandpa Purple, how about I be careful? I shouldn't be discovered. Just send me to the Sun Moon Continent." The young girl said again.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Humans are cruel to their own kind, let alone to a transformed Spirit Beast like you. Once you are discovered, all humans on the continent will want to take your spirit ring and Spirit Bone. That ten-thousand-year medicinal herb is about to mature; after you take it, it should speed up your Cultivate. So don't mention it again. You absolutely cannot go to the human World until you are level 60 or above." The purple-clothed old man refused again.
"Eh..."
"There's movement!"
"Aren't those two Spirit Beasts at odds? Why did they come to my Amethyst Island together?" The old man looked at the ocean, then entered the water, transforming into a giant purple turtle, preparing to swim forward.
But the next moment, the young girl leaped high and jumped onto the back of the Amethyst Mysterious Turtle.
"Grandpa Purple, I'm going to see them too!"
"I haven't seen them for ten or twenty years. Seeing my appearance now, they will surely be surprised, hehe!" The young girl giggled.
At this moment, even the Amethyst Mysterious Turtle didn't notice that there was a human on the back of the Two-Headed Sea Dragon.
After all, they could never have imagined that these two Spirit Beasts, both over two hundred thousand years old, would bring a human to them.
