239: Captain Hai Dafu

Chapter 239: Captain Hai Dafu

Wu Xian smiled knowingly. With a slight shift of his will, the Dragon King of the East Sea appeared beside him.

Unlike previous summons of the Dragon Lord, this time, because they were at sea, the Dragon Lord's appearance also caused a disturbance in the Endless Sea.

It seemed the entire sea was welcoming the arrival of this Ocean Dominator.

“Tsk~ It really feels different to be back home, huh~!” Wu Xian couldn't help but tease.

Xue Zhengying, meanwhile, stared intently at the Dragon Lord, his jaw agape in shock. “This, this, this...”

“Do you feel it?” Wu Xian asked with a smile.

“Not just feel it, this feeling is perfectly right!” Xue Zhengying's voice trembled slightly.

Goodness, wasn't this precisely the concept the Scroll Master of the Sea Demon Dragon had pursued his entire life?

In his opinion, the starting point of Wu Xian's current work had already reached the destination the Sea Demon Dragon had once sought.

“That's good.”

Wu Xian was satisfied and began to sweep across the Endless Sea with Xue Zhengying.

Currently, the Dragon King of the East Sea was only three-and-a-half Stars. The most pressing matter, naturally, was to level up the Dragon Lord.

Although he was only three-and-a-half Stars, dealing with the sea monsters in this area was no problem at all.

Boom! Boom!

As the Ocean-Shaking Behemoth churned, it stirred up layers of giant waves, startling countless sea monsters.

When the Dragon Lord's Aura was unleashed, the sea instantly became stormy. With a wave of his hand, layers of massive waves surged and twisted, slaughtering many small sea creatures.

Beside him, Fish Gill General was responsible for collecting the souls of the small sea creatures.

Xue Zhengying watched from the side, growing more and more alarmed. “No, I absolutely must get a Dragon Lord for myself! With him, I can at least recover 60% of my former strength, or even more!”

“Let's talk about it after we get back from this trip. After all, the Materials are not easy to come by,” Wu Xian said.

“What Rank of Materials are needed?” Xue Zhengying asked earnestly, his breathing quickening.

“What? Going to hunt for them now?” Wu Xian was somewhat bewildered.

Xue Zhengying said without hesitation, “Exactly, I can't wait!”

Wu Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but then he thought about it, and it seemed it didn't conflict with their current mission.

They had to kill monsters to level up anyway, so incidentally gathering some Materials and getting an authorized original of the Dragon Lord wasn't a big deal.

It was just that the Material requirements for the Dragon Lord were a bit high and hard to get.

Unless they happened to find a decent-sized sea dragon-shaped monster, and it had to be at least a Commander Rank, and its Rank couldn't be too low.

“It's probably tough here, but the subsequent third stop will enter the true Endless Sea Otherworld. We can try our luck then,” Xue Zhengying mused.

Then, for an entire day.

The two of them almost turned the surrounding sea upside down, and the Ocean-Shaking Behemoth continued to dive into the deep sea, searching for prey.

Unbeknownst to them, the Dragon Lord had already risen to four-and-a-half Stars and was about to reach five Stars.

Such Heaven-Defying leveling efficiency even shocked Wu Xian.

He could only say that he had underestimated the Dragon Lord's prestige and stature in the Endless Sea.

During this period, Wu Xian also took the opportunity to feel the changes in his own strength.

It was also much stronger than he had anticipated.

Ordinary monsters of a dozen Ranks were no match for him; one strike from the Laurel Branch silenced them.

After all, this was just Binhai City's dimensional control zone, not the true Endless Sea, so the monster level was truly not impressive.

Soon after, the Dragon Lord successfully ascended to five Stars.

It felt like if this efficiency continued, he might even reach seven Stars before the BOSS battle.

Only now did he understand why high-Rank scrolls generally didn't require users to provide nourishment for leveling up.

Taking the Dragon Lord's dominance in the Endless Sea as an example, increasing the painting spirit's Rank was as easy as eating and drinking, slaughtering enemies left and right.

Returning to the Rainbow Sky cruise ship, the other Spirit Master adventurers had already returned and were happily discussing their day's harvest.

As for Wu Xian and Xue Zhengying, “returning with a full load” no longer adequately described their situation.

In the cabin guest room, Wu Xian was counting the Ocean-type Materials in his cosmos sack. Since he was idle, he immediately began attempting to synthesize some Divinity Factors related to Ocean-type Laws, preparing for the subsequent creation of an authorized original of the Dragon Lord.

Xue Zhengying watched, stunned. “Impressive, Master Wu, you've even mastered Third Uncle's craftsmanship?”

“Still learning, I'm far from Third Grandfather's level.”

“That's still very impressive,” Xue Zhengying exclaimed with a tsk.

Speaking of which, Third Uncle had once tried to teach him this craft because of his special Physique.

However, his sensitivity to the power of Law was more like an “instinct” and could not serve as a cheat for this craft.

In the end, it was left unfinished.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The sudden knocking at the door made both of them frown.

Upon opening the door, they found it was the old crew member who had sold them tickets earlier.

“Gentlemen, the Captain has invited you.” The old crew member was quite respectful, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

There was no helping it; they had all clearly witnessed the scene of the two of them stirring up trouble in the surrounding sea today, especially that gold scroll with a Dragon head and human body, emanating Divine Might, which had completely dumbfounded them.

In the eyes of these old crew members, Wu Xian and the other had become like immortals.

In a word: even the top Ocean-type Holy Spirits of the Holy Spirit Dojo were nothing more than this.

“Captain?” Wu Xian couldn't help but be surprised.

Then, led by the old crew member, they arrived at the Rainbow Sky's main control room, where the interior decoration and furnishings were extremely luxurious.

One could only say that the captain of such a large cruise ship had a very substantial family fortune.

“Brother Xue, long time no see.”

The Captain raised his hand, signaling the others to leave, and stood up to greet them.

Xue Zhengying scrutinized the Captain for a moment, gradually recognizing this old acquaintance. “You are... Hai Dafu?”

“I didn't expect Brother Xue to still remember a small fry like me,” Hai Dafu joked, gesturing for the two to sit down, filled with emotion. “Tsk tsk, when I first heard the news of Brother Xue's return, I thought it was just a rumor. I never expected it to be true.”

“You... inherited the family business?” Xue Zhengying asked, surprised.

Hai Dafu spread his hands and laughed self-deprecatingly, “No choice, I couldn't compete with those monsters in the league. I never had any dazzling achievements, so I could only go back and inherit the family business.”

“I remember you were quite good back then?” Xue Zhengying was puzzled.

“My talent was too singular,” Hai Dafu sighed helplessly, “I could only show off at sea.”

After the two exchanged pleasantries and reminisced, Wu Xian gradually understood the situation of Captain Hai Dafu.

He was a former league player, but unfortunately, his talent leaned too heavily towards Ocean-type scrolls, making him a specialized talent. He had extremely high talent for Ocean-type scrolls, but his talent in other types was somewhat lacking.

In short, his hero pool was too singular, making it difficult for him to climb the Ranks in the Alliance.

Towards the end of their chat, Hai Dafu finally got to the point.

Indeed, Hai Dafu had come for the Dragon Lord.

Originally, he had only asked his subordinates to keep an eye on the two of them, but then he was pulled over by his startled subordinates and personally witnessed the terrifying power of the Dragon Lord.

If he had had such a gold scroll back then, even with a singular talent, he could have still climbed to a certain height within the Alliance system.

Unfortunately, he was now past fifty, with many brothers under his wing, and he no longer possessed the passion and drive of his youth.

But even so, the Dragon Lord still made his blood boil.

“What? That scroll is this young man's work?”

Upon learning that the young man before him was the original creator of the Dragon Lord, Hai Dafu was utterly shocked.

After a moment of shock and emotion, Hai Dafu said solemnly, “Master Wu, name your price. I, Hai, will certainly not disgrace your gold scroll. Brother Xue should know this.”

“Old Hai's talent for Ocean-type scrolls is indeed undeniable,” Xue Zhengying nodded with a smile. “However, it is a special gold scroll of our Underworld Club, not just anyone is qualified to request it.”

“You two can rest assured,” Hai Dafu smiled knowingly. “I, Hai, still have some influence in Binhai City. Although I'm past the age for the league, in terms of maritime trade, I can still bring a lot of help to your Club.”
