Three months (3)
Upon reaching the entrance to the eighth level, the water giant wolves immediately opened the passage between the eighth and ninth levels, and then they rushed into the ninth level. Once inside the ninth level, the water giant wolves immediately disintegrated, turning into a pool of seawater.
A moment later, countless more giant water wolves emerged from the sea, mimicking the pattern, entering the ninth level, and finally disintegrating into a pool of seawater. The same thing happened again.
With the passage between the eighth and ninth levels opened, and giant water wolves continuously entering the ninth level from the sea and turning into seawater, the seawater inside the ninth level is increasing at a visible rate. Before long, the entire ninth level will be submerged by seawater.
The Blood King, seated on the dragon throne, turned ashen-faced upon seeing so much seawater entering the ninth level. He knew who had done it; it must have been that brat Fanxin Xin.
Fanxin Xin left, trouble broke out here. Who else could it be but him!
"You brat, you think you can subdue me this way? Let me tell you, you're dreaming." The Blood King snorted. He knew that Fanxin must have heard that he was a demon power user. So, he prepared to subdue him with seawater. Demon power users have an extreme fear of the sea, because the sea can be fatal to them.
If a demon ability user falls into the sea, he will become unable to swim and will surely die if no friends are there to rescue him. Since he is a demon ability user, the only things that can defeat him are seawater and Seastone.
Fanxin's intention was simply to drown him in the sea and kill him alive.
However, despite his anger, the Blood King did not show any fear, because he had developed the Devil Fruit ability to its fullest extent and could completely control it. He had a way to deal with the seawater.
"Boy, I'll be waiting for you on the ninth floor. Then, I'll show you what I'm capable of." The Blood King snorted, then summoned countless streams of crimson blood, which coalesced into a huge, hollow, blood-red sphere, and he hid inside it.
Once everything was settled, he stayed inside and waited patiently.
Outside, Fanxin, the Little Black Cat, and Ren Fang were all waiting. None of them could accomplish this task; only Langyue could. So, they could only wait on the sidelines.
"Fanxin, something's not right!" Langyue suddenly said to Fanxin.
"What's wrong?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.
"A huge crimson sphere has appeared inside the ninth level, floating on the seawater. It must have been created by the Blood King. If it stays inside that sphere, then even if you flood the ninth level, it won't make any difference," Langyue said, frowning.
"What? A crimson sphere? This is troublesome." Fanxin frowned upon hearing this, unsure of what to do.
He originally wanted to drown that bastard with seawater, but the guy was hiding inside the crimson sphere, so even if the seawater enveloped him, he couldn't touch him. He had to find a way to break the crimson sphere to have any chance.
But that's a crimson sphere created by the Blood King! How could it be so easily broken? Their attacks couldn't even break that thing.
"What should we do then? Should we continue?" Langyue asked.
"Continue, let's submerge the ninth level first." Fanxin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said.
Langyue nodded and continued.
Fanxin, on the other hand, lay on the grass looking dejected, pondering what to do.
"I'll go cook." Ren Fang saw Fanxin deep in thought, so she didn't disturb her. She told Fanxin and then left with the Little Black Cat, returning to the island where they lived to find food and prepare lunch.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Fanxin had a headache. He was at a loss when he encountered such a troublesome person.
If his strength were roughly equal to his opponent's, he could put up a fight. However, his opponent's strength was ridiculously high; he wouldn't last more than a few rounds against him.
His past actions were suicidal and completely ineffective.
"We must find a way. I must get Wolf Valley no matter what. I must kill that madman," Fanxin said with a determined look in his eyes.
He has spent nearly ten months here working on this tower in Wolf Valley. If he ultimately achieves nothing, then all his efforts over the past few months will have been in vain.
Although his strength has indeed improved considerably, his goal is not just strength; he also wants to obtain the Wolf Valley.
"Hmm, that's right. My strength isn't great, but the strength of Sea Kings must be immense!" Fanxin thought to himself, his eyes darting around as an idea came to him.
He approached Langyue and whispered, "Langyue, immediately remove the giant air wolves surrounding Wolf Valley and restore Wolf Valley to its original state."
"Oh, but what is your purpose in doing this?"
Langyue nodded and immediately removed the dozens of giant air wolves. A moment later, Wolf Valley began to slowly grow larger, becoming a giant tower. However, due to the tower's considerable weight, it was slowly sinking towards the seabed.
"Keep an eye on it, make sure it doesn't actually sink to the bottom of the sea, otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to get it back," Fanxin Xin immediately reminded.
He didn't want to lose the tower. If it really sank to the bottom of the sea, it would be difficult to get it back. And since this was the lair of Sea Kings, it would be even more difficult.
"Hehe, don't worry, I know."
Langyue chuckled, then created several giant water wolves, which dragged the giant tower step by step to the edge of the island. When they reached the edge, it had the giant water wolves knock down the tower, leaving the top on the island and the bottom submerged in the sea.
"Are you satisfied with these now?" Langyue chuckled, looking at Fanxin, and asked.
Fanxin nodded and said, "This is fine." With half on the island and half in the sea, it wouldn't be easy for the giant tower to sink to the bottom of the sea. It would require a greater force to be applied to the giant tower in order to drag the upper half of the island into the sea.
"So what should we do next?" Langyue asked again. It knew that Fanxin must have thought of a solution.
"You're attacking those Sea Kings, luring Sea Kings to the ninth level so they can attack that crimson sphere. The Sea Kings are incredibly strong, so their chances of successfully attacking the crimson sphere are very high," Fanxin said.
"I see, that works too. But what if that guy kills Sea Kings?" Langyue countered.
