Shi Family Prodigy

"This..." Sun Chengshan's eyes widened as he turned to look. He had not expected the slap in the face to come so quickly.

Wang Yu turned as well.

From head to tail, this Giant Whale was likely over a hundred meters long. Silver markings covered its entire body, blending it into this stretch of the Silver Belt Sea.

What was even more peculiar was that those silver markings emitted flickering silver light, turning the entire Giant Whale into a luminous body.

Its strange cry made everyone who heard it feel unsettled and panicked.

Not only that, the Giant Whale's head had the savage shape of a flood dragon and serpent, taking up a third of its body. White whisker-like spikes grew from it, and its eyes were a deep blue, like two enormous sapphires.

Its belly was pure white, like a layer of jade spread across it, with four dragon claws growing from it.

"What kind of monster is this?!" Wang Yu was deeply shaken.

The universe contained countless starfields, galaxies, and planets, forming vastly different ecosystems.

Who knew how many creatures existed that Wang Yu had never even heard of before?

Right now, he was somewhat worried.

This Giant Whale had four claws on its belly, seemingly enough to let it move across land.

And if no one stopped it, this colossal creature was fully capable of reaching Island Town 732 and easily destroying the entire town!

This was undoubtedly an unprecedented crisis.

Elsewhere.

At the wooden shelter they had set up, Shi Yang and Guan Yunwu had just finished steaming the crabs and had not even taken a bite when they heard the commotion and rushed out.

The moment they looked up and saw the Giant Whale lying there, their expressions changed as well.

"Are you kidding me? There's actually a Silver Ribbon Dragon Whale here!" Shi Yang was startled at first, then overjoyed.

"What a great achievement delivered right to my doorstep. Old Guan, if I kill this Silver Ribbon Dragon Whale and bring back over a hundred tons of fuel-blood-grade precious meat, wouldn't the Superiors have no choice but to make me a Lieutenant?"

Guan Yunwu was also quite pleased, but he still cautioned him carefully on the surface. "This Silver Ribbon Dragon Whale isn't easy to deal with. Don't get careless."

Shi Yang strode forward and laughed. "If this Silver Ribbon Dragon Whale were in the deep sea, I really would have to walk around it. There'd be nothing I could do to it.

"But since it came ashore on its own, it's already a hundred tons of meat handed to me for free!"

He spoke with complete confidence, seemingly determined to claim this colossal creature that everyone feared.

When the troubled Garrison Commanders in the distance saw Shi Yang arrive, Lu Pan immediately gave a wry smile. "A Silver Ribbon Dragon Whale... I'm afraid you're the only one who can handle it."

"Mhm, leave it to me." Shi Yang could not have asked for more.

With that, he loosened up his limbs, gathered his breath, and accelerated toward the Dragon Whale.

Guan Yunwu, who had accompanied him, also put away his umbrella and hurried after him.

Standing in the distance for safety, Wang Yu immediately spotted Shi Yang and Guan Yunwu charging fiercely toward the Dragon Whale.

They moved so fast that they were like two supercars racing across the beach.

The Water Mushroom Spiders thrown into chaos along the way could not harm them at all. Any that drew close were directly shattered by the force erupting from their bodies.

From afar, it looked as though they had forcibly blasted open a safe passage, crossing the densely packed horde of enormous Water Mushroom Spiders without obstruction.

Perhaps because its body was too massive and heavy, the Dragon Whale had only just managed to roll over amid its struggles.

Shi Yang had already reached it. But compared to its immense size, he was far too small, and the Dragon Whale did not notice him immediately.

Not until Shi Yang leaped high into the air and smashed a punch into the foreclaw that had just finished supporting its body.

A dent and cracks immediately appeared on the enormous claw.

"Huh, pretty tough." Shi Yang was somewhat surprised. That punch had actually failed to break the claw outright.

"Again!"

This time, Shi Yang drew the ancient-looking longsword from his back. The laziness vanished from his expression, replaced by a sharp edge.

The hilt was carved from brown wood. The blade was relatively broad and thick, while its edge was thin as a cicada's wing, gleaming with a faint blue-green light.

With a heavy stomp, he shot upward once more and arrived beside the Dragon Whale's claw.

With a thunderous shout, he swung his sword down.

The sound of a sword cry echoed out. The next moment, that enormous claw snapped cleanly off.

Having lost the support of one claw, the mountain-like Dragon Whale immediately lost its balance and crashed down again.

Countless Water Mushroom Spiders and other creatures that had come ashore suffered disaster once more, crushed into pools of blood that smeared across the Dragon Whale's body.

Its pained, low cry rang through the entire island.

Shi Yang below remained unmoved. His body flashed rapidly as he swung his sword, easily cutting off the Dragon Whale's remaining claws as well.

The sight made Lu Pan and the others in the distance click their tongues in amazement.

"A Dragon Whale's claws are as hard as refined iron. To sever them so easily, that sword's edge is truly extraordinary," Lu Pan remarked.

They all knew quality when they saw it, and they could naturally tell just how terrifying Shi Yang's sword was.

If that sword struck a person, no one would be able to withstand it.

Lu Feng saw through Shi Yang's intentions and could not help saying, "It seems this young master of the Shi Family has no intention of letting this Dragon Whale return to the sea. He's got it completely in his grasp!"

By cutting off its claws first, he had effectively stripped the Dragon Whale of its ability to move on land, turning it into a true beached Giant Whale.

That way, as long as it could not return to the sea, this Dragon Whale was nothing more than a lamb awaiting slaughter in his eyes.

The Dragon Whale had likely grown used to ruling the seas and never imagined that coming ashore this time would bring such a painful end.

Guan Yunwu was acting as well. Gripping a greatsword, he continuously attacked the vital points on the Dragon Whale's head.

Though his combat power was inferior to Shi Yang's, he was equally astonishing.

In mere moments, he had stabbed the Dragon Whale's enormous head full of holes.

"Old Guan, watch where you're striking! All that Dragon Whale blood pouring out is going to waste!!" At some point, Shi Yang had flipped up onto the Dragon Whale's head. Seeing the river of blood below, his heart ached terribly.

That blood was both medicine and high-quality food.

Some surviving Water Mushroom Spiders seemed to have gone mad, plunging headfirst into the spilled Dragon Whale blood and eagerly gulping down its nutrients.

How fortunate were these Water Mushroom Spiders? How many Water Mushroom Spiders in the world could drink Dragon Whale blood as they did?

Driven away by Shi Yang's disdain, Guan Yunwu could only sheathe his sword and retreat farther away.

Shi Yang's sword had also returned to its sheath. He clenched his fists and repeatedly hammered the Dragon Whale's head.

His fist force penetrated its body, directly pulverizing the Dragon Whale's brain tissue from within without damaging its outer hide.

When it came to controlling force, Guan Yunwu had to admit that he truly could not compare to Shi Yang.

There was a gap in cultivation realm, as well as a difference in talent.

Shi Yang was a cultivation prodigy. This was recognized throughout the Shi Family and even among all the military families of the capital.

The Dragon Whale's vitality was remarkably tenacious, but under Shi Yang's fists, it lasted only a little over ten minutes before the inside of its entire head was reduced to mush. It lay motionless on the beach.

This colossal creature, which had caused such a stir the moment it appeared and filled all the local Martial Artists with shock and fear, had been killed just like that.

Not a single sacrifice had been made. Everything was thanks to the figure now standing atop the Dragon Whale's corpse.

"Who is he? He actually killed this Giant Whale so easily?!"
