Su Ernan fired the signal flare into the sky. Against the curtain of night, its light was dazzling. In the distance, the crews aboard the Su Family's ships, which were resting and refitting, spotted it immediately and hurried over.
The Su Family's ships were equipped with winches specifically to make salvaging treasures from the sea easier.
Now, the remains of the dead jellyfish became their main salvage targets. Su Family disciples also entered the water to search beneath the surface for jellyfish soul bones that had been left behind.
The salvage work would take a long time.
Recovering thousands of jellyfish was no small undertaking in itself.
A day later, Su Ernan finished absorbing his spirit ring and officially entered the realm of Titled Douluo. He chose "Killer Whale" as his title, matching his martial soul.
For the moment, however, they still could not head back.
Everyone Su Ernan had brought along for the soul hunt was a trusted confidant. They were absolutely reliable and would not leak any information about the soul bones.
If he summoned other Su Family disciples, an unreliable person among them might leak the information and cause Qin Yuan unnecessary trouble.
"Sir, would you mind waiting aboard the ship for a few more days? I'll help collect the soul bones too. That should speed things up considerably."
Qin Yuan cupped his hands. "Sorry for the trouble. I'm going into seclusion for a short while. Don't let anyone disturb me."
With that, Qin Yuan entered the soul-powered escape boat, using it as his place of seclusion.
His main purpose this time was to absorb the Dreamlike Jellyfish King's Head Soul Bone. Given his strength, absorbing it would be swift, but there was no telling how long fusing it with his Soul Bone Armor would take.
