Avoid the Solid, Strike the Void

Tortoise ship deck.

"Steel Heart, I heard that you had recently gained much from studying Dongbo Cheng Zhi's Swordsmanship Handbook?"

Bei Ming Ji Hu, broad and powerfully built, his head wrapped in a bandana, made a rare appearance on the tortoise ship's deck.

Behind him, the many disciples of the Black Tortoise Oath Extermination Team stood silently at attention.

Not only the Black Tortoise Oath, but also the Azure Dragon Oath, under Dongbo Cheng Zhi's leadership, had made their preparations for battle.

Ahead lay the Shadow Island Chain. By the faint light, they could already make out the vague outlines of the islands.

Bai Pu nodded with a smile. "I did gain something, but it has not yet reached the point of qualitative change. Lord Bei Ming Ji Hu, I wish to draw upon the strengths of many schools and glimpse the swordsmanship realm of Myriad Phenomena. For that reason, I seek the profound meaning of the Bei Ming Xuan Jing Style. I wonder whether you would be willing to teach it to me."

If it had been anyone else, they would not even have had the chance to say such words to Bei Ming Ji Hu.

"The profound meaning of the Bei Ming Xuan Jing Style is not easily passed on. But since you are a warrior of the Black Tortoise Oath, there is no issue with your status. If this operation against the Profound Water Palace succeeds, I shall teach it to you."

Under Bai Pu's deliberate guidance, the reward for this Side Quest, Surprise Attack on Shadow Island Chain, was also developing in the direction he had anticipated.

There were too many people on the deck, so Bei Ming Ji Hu conveyed his final words, "attack the Profound Water Palace," through telepathy.

"Lord Bei Ming Ji Hu."
