73: Chapter 73 Facing the Dark Sea Dragon

Or perhaps my talent for pondering the male psyche is just too poor!

No! I must learn from Sister Meihua on how to handle men.

I cannot let Lin Kuang see through me completely while I know nothing about him, or perhaps he hides his secrets too deeply.

However, I will ignore him for now. I want to go see the rare Spirit Beast. Although Yu Xiaotang tends to overthink, she won't let herself get hung up on unnecessary things, and she quickly hopped and skipped up.

Lin Kuang was still buffing himself. With his Perception Wave, he would naturally know the moment the Dark Sea Evil Dragon approached.

He needed to adjust his mindset now to avoid attacking the Dark Sea Evil Dragon prematurely due to nervousness; that would be disastrous.

After all, the pressure from a high-Rank being is no different from being caught playing with a phone in class! Anything can happen when in a state of extreme tension.

Or if he scared the Dark Sea Evil Dragon away before it even appeared, that would be an even greater loss!

...

Night shrouded the earth, and the Heavenly Pool splashed with mist.

After finishing his warm-up, Lin Kuang's Perception Wave became increasingly intense.

"It's coming. Are you ready? Everyone!"

"Whoosh—" The crystals on the skin of the Crystal Giant Turtle began to glow, and the surrounding air solidified.

"Good! We will wait for it outside. As soon as it comes ashore, we will meet it!"

Just like that, the Fengxiao Sword carried the Crystal Giant Turtle, with Lin Kuang meditating on top of the Crystal Giant Turtle, holding Pink Nine.

"It looks like he is preparing to confront some powerful Spirit Beast. I can backstab him later and then find a chance to leave!" Lianyi thought calmly.

"Hey! Brother Blue, why aren't we flying over this time, but climbing the cliff instead!" Red Demon climbed toward the top of the cliff, looking puzzled.

"We could have flown up in two seconds! Why make it so troublesome?"

"Who knows?" Blue Shark said calmly. "The boss said there is a rare Spirit Beast here, so we must take an unusual path!"

"A rare Spirit Beast? Aren't you here to rob Magic Treasures? What does a Spirit Beast have to do with Magic Treasures!"

"Are you stupid! A rare Spirit Beast is a priceless treasure! And even if it can't be sold as a pet, many parts of its body can be used to make Magic Treasures!" Blue Shark licked his lips.

"Can we handle it?"

"Whether we can handle it or not, we can at least sell the information!" While Blue Shark and Red Demon were still climbing, they felt a rush of air above their heads.

"Red Demon, the perfume you're wearing today feels so strange. It makes me feel dizzy when I smell it!" Blue Shark held his head and whispered.

"What?" Thud! Red Demon headbutted Blue Shark's butt.

"I said your perfume..."

"What? I'm not wearing any perfume! Brother Blue!"

"What is this?" Blue Shark suddenly discovered a ball of lightning in front of him.

As soon as Blue Shark touched it with his hand, he felt a tingling electric current surge up, and then he fell asleep straight away.

"Huh? Brother Blue!" Red Demon pounced immediately.

"Behold my Thousand Years of Death!" Little Five poked forcefully. Red Demon felt a burning sensation, and then, like an electric shock, he fell asleep too.

"Really! Why keep two pieces of trash?" Little Five shook his head as he watched Blue Shark and the other floating on the water from afar.

...

Yu Xiaotang lay on the railing at the top of the tower, looking at the calm water surface one moment and the passage leading up the next.

"What is this Lin Kuang doing! Why hasn't he come up yet!"

He is so competitive; he will definitely be heartbroken if he misses this rare Spirit Beast.

Just as Yu Xiaotang was preparing to go down to find Lin Kuang...

"Roar—"

The sound of the Dark Sea Evil Dragon came from the center of the Heavenly Pool's water surface.

"Ah! It's here? Ah! What is Lin Kuang doing?" Yu Xiaotang stamped her foot and returned to her original spot, taking out a Jade Slip to prepare to record the Dark Sea Evil Dragon.

"It's here! The chance to reverse space!" Noah pinched a seal and chanted a spell, immediately luring the Dark Sea Evil Dragon toward herself.

A huge figure loomed in the mist.

The figure grew larger and the outline clearer. When it was only a few hundred meters from the lighthouse, it seemed to sense the absence of its companions and prepared to turn and leave!

"Hmm? Want to run!" A black vortex gathered in Noah's hand, like a black hole.

At this moment, Lin Kuang was also poised and ready: "It's already this close, so are you ready? We're going in!"

Lin Kuang controlled the Fengxiao Sword to fly toward the Dark Sea Evil Dragon, and Little Five successfully rendezvoused in the air.

Seeing Lin Kuang flying toward the Dark Sea Evil Dragon, Yu Xiaotang trembled all over in fear.

"Lin Kuang!!! Run!!!"

Yu Xiaotang shouted for Lin Kuang at the top of her lungs. Despite her fear, she still flew toward Lin Kuang's direction.

"Hmm? What's the situation?" Noah suddenly stopped her attack. Letting him go and lure the Dark Sea Evil Dragon was fine! She would have a chance to suppress it herself.

The Dark Sea Evil Dragon was of the space attribute. If it felt threatened, it would teleport away, and finding it again would be very troublesome.

"Oh my! I didn't expect a little ant in the second realm to be so fierce. It seems she is indeed the Disciple trained by Pei Yuhan, one of the protagonists of Qiongming!"

However, Noah did not care about the life or death of her Disciple; she only needed the Dark Sea Evil Dragon to be distracted.

"Ah—" Yu Xiaotang crashed into a barrier. She discovered that she could not break through this invisible barrier at all.

"Lin Kuang! You lunatic! Hurry up and come back to me!"

"Don't face such a huge Spirit Beast alone, it's dangerous!"

"Oh! Ah!"

"Why are you so impulsive!"

"Why?" Yu Xiaotang pounded on the barrier and shouted angrily: "For a rare Spirit Beast, are you not even going to value your own life!"

"Being alive is the most important thing! Lin Kuang!"

I haven't seen you win the Xuanyuan Dynasty Grand Competition... first place, and I haven't seen you become a Great Sword Immortal.

You haven't really... married me...

You! You must survive!

...

After the Dark Sea Evil Dragon confirmed again that there were no companions, it turned around and prepared to leave.

"Little Five, use Thunder and Lightning!"

"Alright! Here I come!"

Little Five's attack, using all his might, hit the Dark Sea Evil Dragon's skin like a mosquito bite.

But having that feeling was exactly what was needed!

After the Dark Sea Evil Dragon sensed Little Five, Little Five was struck in an instant.

"Pfft—" Lin Kuang felt a pain in his heart, and a mouthful of blood was spat out.

The moment the Dark Sea Evil Dragon attacked, the task timer started.

The water of the Heavenly Pool instantly turned black and lunged violently toward Lin Kuang. The Crystal Giant Turtle rushed up and shattered in an instant.

"Pfft— Ah—" Lin Kuang felt a sharp pain in his chest and fell to his knees on the sword. Pink Nine appeared in front of him to block an attack.

[Ding! Task complete: Favorability of the Sea Evil Dragon clan 50%, Special Intermediate Spiritual Energy Pill × 3, Wings of Thunder, Seven Star Power Upper Part.

"Hmm?" Before Lin Kuang could react, the surrounding space instantly turned black, pitch-black to the point where one couldn't see their own fingers, and the task timer stalled.

"What? Dual attributes of Space and Time!" Lin Kuang only then realized the power of the Dark Sea Evil Dragon.

"Who are you? Why do you have the aura of my clan?"
