"Pah, pah, pah!"
Inside Vortex Palace, Fat Catfish waved its fins and frantically swept at its mouth. Having eaten something filthy, it bitterly spat and swallowed Vortex Water without pause, its cheeks bubbling as it shot out jets of water.
At the side, Cannot Move swished its tail and exhaled Azure Mist, keeping two gravely wounded, half-dead people alive.
Little Mirage Dragon and Awei circled Dream White Fire, chasing and herding it. Watching it drag Ta Ta Kai, who was clutching its tail, as it fled in from one end and burrowed out the other, they were delighted.
"Wonderful!"
White Current dispersed.
Liang Qu transformed back into human form and stretched his limbs.
He had not expected the Ghost Mother Sect to truly have a Perfected Elephant Grandmaster stationed nearby to guard the Treasure Fish. They valued it far more highly than he had imagined, but it also proved that their headquarters possessed formidable strength.
What ordinary Grandmaster would be willing to squat around aimlessly on watch? It could only mean someone of a higher rank had forcibly ordered him to do so.
Unfortunately, there was only one of them, and only at the first realm.
Cauldron Master: Liang Qu Refine Marsh Spirit: Water King Ape (Purple) (Fusion: 170‰) Marsh Essence: 67,000
Ever since the Water King Ape's fusion had broken through one hundred and fifty thousandths, Liang Qu had noticed a detail.
The Water King Ape, which had originally emitted a violet radiance, now faintly emanated a pale orange glow distinct from the purple around it! It was as though a blazing Great Sun had risen behind it, coating it in a layer of golden brilliance.
By his original estimate—
One hundred meant the first Perfected Elephant realm, two hundred the second, and three hundred the third.
