The Friendly Crewmen

Sea God Island was equivalent to the core territory of Spirit Hall or the two great empires.

Just think—could ordinary people enter a place of this level whenever they wanted?

Most likely, not only was a Spirit King not strong, that was just barely enough to get an entrance ticket, right?

So Sea God Island might look peaceful, but in truth, experts were as common as clouds.

Bo Saixi did not rely solely on the boost from Sea God's Power, either. Her own talent was actually a cut above everyone else.

There were already no fewer than seven Titled Douluo openly on Sea God Island, and there was no way a sudden gap in strength would appear, so the number of Spirit Titled Douluo and Soul Sages... was unimaginable!

And the merchant ship Su Mutian had slipped onto was something Sea God Island used to purchase necessities from the outside world, so the buyers' realms definitely would not be low.

After all, there were quite a few pirates out on the seas.

A certain ability to protect themselves was necessary.

"Tch, what do you guys even count as? Watch this."

Another person revealed his spirit rings—and he was actually a Spirit King!

His spirit ring configuration was not a bit worse than the first two.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black!

His fifth spirit ring was a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring!

Su Mutian was about to go blind.

How should he put it...

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun... those so-called geniuses of the Shrek Seven Devils only began having Ten Thousand Year Spirit Rings at their fifth rings.

And Su Mutian had just bumped into someone so monstrous so casually.

Although anyone with a little talent and a little background could obtain a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring...

Still, the difference was probably that the people before him were all relatively old. Even the youngest looked to be around eighteen.

In terms of talent, they still were not as outstanding as Dai Mubai and the others.

As for why their spirit ring configurations were so insane...

Su Mutian looked toward the vast sea.

On the Douluo Continent, people were more inclined to go to places like the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt spirit rings.

Soul Beasts were slaughtered before they even had time to grow.

That led to Soul Beasts becoming scarce on the continent.

But the sea had countless species, so naturally Soul Beasts had much more living space.

Just in the known sea regions alone, there were already quite a few territories belonging to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and there was even a big-brother-level existence like the Deep Sea Demon Whale holding things down.

In those unknown regions far from Sea God Island, no one knew how many terrifying Soul Beasts existed.

You get it~

Huo Yuhao started off with a million-year-level nanny, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm~

"Mm! Kid, you don't need to feel discouraged. There's nothing impossible in this world."

An uncle rubbed Su Mutian's head. Seeing his blank expression, he thought Su Mutian had been stunned speechless.

"A Spirit King is nothing. Old Blackhead, now he's an Assault System Soul Emperor. There'll be plenty of chances in the future. Work hard, train more, and sooner or later we'll let you see how amazing we are."

Those words were honestly meant to comfort him.

Of course, the hidden meaning was to make Su Mutian read the room, work his heart out, and help them share more of the burden. Only then would Su Mutian get benefits.

After all.

Judging from Su Mutian's appearance, he looked fifteen or sixteen, yet his Soul Power was only rank eleven.

Trash.

Naked trash.

If he had started cultivating at seven, then almost ten years had passed. Training for ten years during the golden age of cultivation and reaching only rank eleven meant an average of one rank a year.

Someone like that was destined to be a commoner.

Wait!

Since he was such a useless person.

Why was he qualified to board Sea God Island's purchasing ship?!

That didn't make sense!

"Old Blackhead, he wouldn't happen to be the son of some Spirit Titled Douluo hiding his identity, would he?" someone moved closer to Old Blackhead and asked doubtfully.

"I heard those nobles, those families with power and status nowadays, all like sending the young people in their clans down to the grassroots for training. Is he one of those?"

"Otherwise, how could a rank-eleven teenager possibly board Sea God Island's merchant ship?"

"If he isn't hiding his realm, or if there isn't some shady deal behind this, I'll swim around the Deep Sea Demon Whale's territory on the spot! I'll never go back on my word!"

Holy shit!

He even dared to raise a flag like charging into the Deep Sea Demon Whale's domain.

Respect, respect.

Su Mutian scratched his head.

He did not understand why everyone had suddenly gathered together.

And why were they looking at him with such strange eyes?

Could it be...

Su Mutian's pupils shifted slightly.

Was this their special welcoming ceremony?

A daily round of gossip about newcomers?

Or were they discussing his work assignment?

Old Blackhead bared his big white teeth in a grin. "To be honest, I don't know either, but he has a Sea God Island Pass, and he looks like he doesn't want others to know his whereabouts."

Only people who have undergone the baptism of Sea God's Light possess a Sea God Island Pass. Now that I've said that, you understand what I mean, right?

They understood!

A moment later:

"Xiao Quan, actually, after saying all that, what your big brothers here want to express is just one thing. None of us are bad people, so just work with us at ease. If there's anything you don't understand, or anything you need, just say it. We'll definitely try our best to satisfy you."

"That's right, that's right. Caring for newcomers is our fine tradition. Xiao Quan, whenever you need a spirit ring, your big brother here absolutely won't say another word. Even if it's the Deep Sea Demon Whale, I'll catch it and bring it back for you. Though you probably can't absorb it for now, hahaha..."

"Xiao Quan, you're still young. Right now is when your body is growing, and that can't be ignored! For heavy labor like carrying sacks and moving boxes, try not to do it. I think you look like a wise man. How about you become the commander of our merchant ship from now on?"

The accountant pushed up his glasses. "That's a good idea."

"Eh, eh?"

Su Mutian subconsciously touched his face and felt the slight roughness of mud.

The black mud from the seabed had not fallen off, and his outfit was completely that of a poor child, though his features were still outstanding.

But as the saying went.

Fair skin hid a hundred flaws, black ruined everything.

So he probably had not exposed the fact that his looks were very high, to the point that these crewmen were plotting something against him, right?

Then what exactly was the reason?

What he had shown was only that he was a weakling!

Su Mutian said, "Actually, I can help. I quite love working."

What kind of joke was this!

When someone showed excessive courtesy for no reason, they were either a traitor or a thief!

Let alone a group of strangers.

This was just like when you had just moved into a dorm and had not even remembered your roommates' names, yet they treated you with meticulous care, bought you snacks, brought you tea and water, bought you a gaming keyboard, bought you meals...

At a time like this.

You had to suspect whether the other party was plotting something improper.

For example, being obsessed with your beauty.

That was exactly how Su Mutian felt right now.

Goosebumps rose all over Su Mutian's body.

Su Mutian was dumbfounded again.

He saw these friendly crewmen nod solemnly.

"Loving labor is good. Young people nowadays really lack this spirit of labor!"

"That's right, that's right. Xiao Quan's awareness is really high. It makes this little Soul Ancestor feel very ashamed!"

"Aiya, looks like we'll have to learn more from Xiao Quan in the future. We've lived in vain for over twenty years."

Su Mutian took a step back and leaned against the ship's railing, his body trembling slightly.

I'm fucking losing my nerve.

Had he entered a wolf's den?

After so many ways to die, was he going to die this time from his chrysanthemum exploding?

Please don't. This content would get banned.

Su Mutian wanted to cry but had no tears.

Old Blackhead noticed Su Mutian's odd state and drove the crowd away. "Get lost, get lost! Don't you all have anything to do? If you've got nothing to do, go wipe down the entire cabin!"

Then he looked at Su Mutian simplemindedly and said, "Don't mind them. They just feel that there's a dignified, imposing air between your brows. Nothing else."

When Su Mutian heard that, he panicked even more...

The contract site message seems to have arrived two days ago. I'll find time to mail it out soon, and add more chapters when the time comes...
