Chen Yan, With No Presence, Lives Off Gu Yuena

Chen Yan, With No Presence, Lives Off Gu Yuena

Gu Yuena held her spear in one hand and aimed her left hand at the Sea Soul Beast as an elemental magic circle slowly emerged.

"Ice Seal." Her voice, cool as the moon, rang out softly.

As the formation flashed with blue light, the Soul Beast's entire body stiffened. Even its fishlike face was instantly covered in white frost. Ice Crystals rapidly spread across its body with a series of cracking sounds.

Determined not to waste anything, Chen Yan summoned the Golden Dragon Spear and hurled it at the creature's brow.

Boom—

Driven by his immense strength, the Golden Dragon Spear broke the sound barrier. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the ice and passed cleanly through the creature's body.

With a gesture of his right hand, the Golden Dragon Spear turned into golden light in midair and vanished, returning to Chen Yan's hand. A warm current flowed into his body through the spear.

So this is the life force absorbed by the Golden Dragon Spear?

He silently pondered this as he sensed the Sea Soul Beast's life force rapidly draining away. Its soul had suffered grievous damage from that strike. There was no saving it now.

He looked sympathetically at the Soul Beast, which was still hanging in the air as it fell. Sigh, I might as well be a good person to the end and let you contribute as much as possible without regrets!

He spread his spiritual power over it, and with a thought, stored the iced fish directly inside his jade pendant.

This would definitely make a fortune in the cold-chain business.

Chen Yan stared gravely at the sea. While remaining on guard, he made that remark to ease his tension.

Gu Yuena, meanwhile, warily watched their surroundings. Ever since the ship had been attacked, no one besides the two of them had made a move. Her instincts told her that this was merely the beginning of the disturbance. But why?

Her grip tightened around the Silver Dragon Spear. The spear hummed, its radiance flowing like an undercurrent beneath a still lake. A nearly imperceptible sharpness appeared in Gu Yuena's gaze.

At the same time, Chen Yan silently analyzed the situation. This Sea Soul Beast was roughly sixty thousand years old. Though they had successfully killed it, their situation was far from promising. After all, they were not facing just one Sea Soul Beast in these waters.

He quickly extended his spiritual power to sense the positions and auras of the Sea Soul Beasts circling the ship, estimating their overall strength.

"Are most of them Evil Orcas?"

Evil Orcas were top-tier ocean Soul Beasts, nearly twice the size of Demon Soul Great White Sharks of the same rank. They preferred to appear in groups and attack their enemies together. Back then, they had been the little overlords of the sea, capable of beating up Shrek—only to be utterly crushed in intelligence.

There was another apex overlord in these seas. Although their king had been killed, and the queen had taken the princess away from the ocean, leaving the entire clan severely weakened, after twenty thousand years of recuperation and with their own deep foundations, they still crushed every other oceanic clan.

It could be said that the Deep Sea Demon Whales were the current rulers of the ocean, while the Evil Orcas were merely their vassals.

Their appearance in such numbers seemed logical on the surface, yet it carried a hint of strangeness.

Suddenly, the ship shook again, this time with even greater force. Its bow rose as though something enormous beneath it had lifted the hull. Chen Yan and Gu Yuena exchanged glances, surprise flashing through their eyes.

They had actually failed to sense it just now! How was that possible?!

A school of Evil Orcas surrounded the ship, greed and ferocity gleaming in their eyes. After the ship was inexplicably raised, they swarmed forward and repeatedly rammed the hull, trying to overturn it.

Chen Yan took a deep breath, calm light flickering in his eyes. He quickly spread his spiritual power through the surrounding waters, trying to locate the enemy hidden beneath the sea.

Suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura rising from the seabed. Several red tentacles crawled up the ship's hull.

Is that Ferocious Beast Octopus? Chen Yan's pupils shrank as a guess formed in his heart.

His expression darkened. This was troublesome. A Ferocious Beast-level Soul Beast was already comparable to a Super Douluo.

Gu Yuena might be powerful, but there was no way she could have become this powerful in just a few years, right?!

Gu Yuena stared at the tentacles as Soul Power surged around her, lifting her silver hair in the gusting air. Like an ice-and-snow spirit, she used the Silver Dragon Spear as her center, spreading snowy blue across the deck.

The frost passed over the tentacles and froze the entire ship before spreading across the nearby sea. Under such circumstances, the Sea Soul Beasts either sank or retreated. None could withstand her.

At this moment, her presence was unleashed in full force—beautiful and commanding!

But a Ferocious Beast was not so easy to deal with! With an enraged roar, immense Soul Power shattered the ice coating the tentacles. Twelve tentacles sliced through the ice like hot knives through butter, wildly flailing as they overturned the ship and tried to seize Chen Yan and Gu Yuena.

Chen Yan and Gu Yuena reacted swiftly, instantly evading the tentacles. But the enormous tentacles crowded out all available space, leaving them nowhere to step. Before long, the tentacles formed a cage around them.

Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Spear traced a graceful arc through the air and shot through a gap. Icy blue light blossomed with her movement, forming an ice shield before her and Chen Yan.

Bang—

Fine Ice Crystals scattered through the sky beneath the tentacles' assault. Gu Yuena grabbed Chen Yan's hand, her expression grave and uncertain.

"Go!"

With a low shout, silver light flashed around Gu Yuena as she brought Chen Yan to the Silver Dragon Spear embedded in the ice.

Chen Yan's participation: 0

Damage dealt: 0

No, why are you so strong?! So you were going easy on me before—going ridiculously easy on me!

Just now, I couldn't even see your movements. My vision blurred, then you changed positions, then my vision blurred again...

Gu Yuena pulled the Silver Dragon Spear from the ice with one hand while holding Chen Yan's hand with the other.

Her Silver Dragon Spear drew a perfect circle through the air. Icy blue light rapidly spread with her movements, forming an even larger Ice Seal domain.

The Evil Orcas and Ferocious Beast Octopus within the domain were instantly frozen. Their movements slowed, and more and more Ice Crystals formed across their bodies.

Gu Yuena stared deeply at the flailing tentacles. This Ferocious Beast is very powerful. Just its tentacles are already difficult for me to handle.

But the next moment, silver light flashed again, and the ice where they had been standing was already melted away by Soul Power.

A massive, razor-sharp fin appeared before their eyes.

Another Soul Beast had joined the battlefield—a 100,000 Year Demon Spirit Great White Shark had arrived!

Chen Yan trembled behind Gu Yuena. Does it have to be this terrifying?!

This is targeting us—blatant targeting! The Lord of the Plane must have used some method to deceive and ambush us two children!

The situation on the field was now clear. Leaving aside the small fry without the strength of Titled Douluos, it was two against one. Gu Yuena was in grave danger!

They had had a chance to escape just now. Chen Yan looked at Gu Yuena's profile and thought, Could Di Tian be nearby?

Chen Yan's guess... no, his deduction was correct.

Di Tian had indeed already arrived nearby, and the Ferocious Beast Octopus, which had remained submerged beneath the water, finally revealed its true form.
