"Defeat me, and you may obtain a fortuitous opportunity."
Within the pitch-black space, a vast sea suddenly surged forth. Hai Modong's avatar appeared, his expression wooden as he repeated the same sentence.
Hai Modong still held a trident, controlling endless seawater that came pouring back. His lower body consisted of sea monster tentacles, which slapped the waves and stirred up storms.
