How many times have they come?
" Sea Princess, this is the thirtieth time."
The mermaid, crowned with a crown, Entanglement in intense resentment. "They have provoked me time and time again in my waters. Even if it's a trap, I will never let them get away with it!"
"I refuse to believe that Titled Douluo can hold me off in the vast ocean!"
At this moment, Ji Siyuan and Huo Yutong were once again dragged by Du Busi into the Ice Sea of the Sun Moon Empire.
"That's almost eighty times already. A few more times and I'll be driven crazy." Ji Siyuan twisted his body in the air, feeling pain all over his body.
His repeated life-or-death experiences at sea left him physically and mentally exhausted, "After these two trials, I definitely need a proper rest."
Du Busi: "Stop being so dramatic. I prepared all that medicine for the two of you."
After saying that, he threw the two men back into the sea.
"We're getting closer and closer to the eighty-first time. May the ancestors of the Body Sect bless us." With an unprecedented awakening, Du Busi could only hold onto hope; there was not much else he could do.
Ji Siyuan fell into the sea and was forced to become familiar with this routine.
They continued to descend in the ocean, and Huo Yutong beside them was performing much better than before.
The two swam towards each other with practiced ease. With their Spiritual Detection Sharing activated, they could have a field of vision without opening their eyes and even converse within it.
"It's the same old routine. It's becoming less and less effective, and I don't even know if you can achieve Second Awakening. If this method doesn't work, let's try a different approach."
Second Awakening isn't limited to the Body Sect's methods; it can also utilize rare and precious materials, such as the Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The reason she didn't use it at first was that the Second Awakening aided by the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew" was only at the silver level, while Huo Yutong was now pursuing the gold level ceiling for the Second Awakening.
"And Siyuan, what about you? Can the Geocentric Red Lotus still awaken?" Huo Yutong had this question all along, and it wasn't just her; everyone who knew they were awakening had the same question. The two of them didn't know, Du Busi didn't know, and even Tang San and Electrolux didn't know.
Ji Siyuan also had this question, "I don't know, maybe only my parents know about this."
The saying goes, "Parents are true love, children are an accident," and Ji Siyuan is a perfect example. His parents spend little time with him, so they wouldn't have the time to teach him these things.
As time went on, the two of them quickly descended to the depth at which their bodies felt the pressure.
"It's so quiet this time."
"Something feels off. There shouldn't be a single Sea Soul Beast here."
Du Busi naturally wouldn't forget to "help" them attract the Sea Soul Beast, but this time there was absolutely no reaction.
"Try using the Spiritual Detection Sharing downwards."
Huo Yutong immediately followed Ji Siyuan's advice, and her Mental Detection contracted and spread downwards.
"You two humans, your time has come!" A spiritual voice entered their minds.
Hundreds of mermaids had gathered below, some wielding long forks, others carrying coral. It was highly unlikely they were trying to communicate peacefully.
Without much thought, the two began struggling towards the surface of the sea. However, due to the Du Busi Soul Power they possessed, their upward struggles could only slow their descent.
The mermaid soldiers were swimming much faster than they had imagined, and one after another, the mermaids were advancing towards them.
Ji Siyuan and Huo Yutong finally got a good look at the merfolk. They were extremely beautiful, but now was not the time to admire them.
The merfolk were filled with Abomination and murderous intent, making it impossible for them to communicate.
A vast net of Divine Power was woven and launched an attack on the two of them.
Mental Detection was restricted by this large net, completely blocked, and the detection range was entirely limited by the distance of the net.
With their Divine Power, Huo Yutong and the other two could not possibly break through this net. This net was not formed by the Divine Power of a single mermaid, but by the combined Divine Power of over a hundred mermaids.
The mermaids emitted mental fluctuations, which they linked together to form this vast network of Divine Power.
This is not Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but Martial Soul combination skill.
Even if its power is far less than that of Martial Soul Fusion Skill released by the same person, it is still a powerful technique. Not to mention that it is now a Martial Soul Combination Skill performed by more than a hundred mermaids.
Even the blooming Hong Lian and the Blazing Fire could not withstand this vast net of Divine Power.
"You can't escape now." The leader of the mermaids had an incredibly solid aura, clearly indicating that he was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Despair welled up in their hearts.
The Divine Power message arrived again. "Humans, don't even think about resisting. You are too weak to escape our control."
Ji Siyuan looked troubled. Even if he wanted a fair dialogue, he had to find a way to break free from this trap.
After much deliberation, he stretched out his right hand, and the water began to swirl inexplicably. His only remaining option was to draw his sword.
"Siyuan!" Huo Yutong immediately stopped him upon seeing this. "Let me try first!"
Divine Power was Huo Yutong's specialty. Ji Siyuan slowly took half a step back, handing the situation over to her. This was a sign of trust; he believed in Huo Yutong's abilities.
The range of Mental Detection is getting smaller and smaller, and the large net is getting closer and closer.
" Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill, Soul-Cleansing Mirror Lake!"
The surrounding water flow suddenly stopped, and the turbulent flow more than ten meters away became laminar flow, orderly and peaceful.
The vast network of Divine Power entered the Mirror Lake area, and the control effect instantly failed.
A 100,000-year-old domain Soul Skill of the mental type, immune to Divine Power control.
The net's effect completely failed, and this unexpected result momentarily stunned the leading mermaid, allowing Ji Siyuan and Huo Yutong to struggle for several more meters.
This also gave Ji Siyuan the possibility of negotiation. "Beautiful mermaid, we don't seem to have affected your normal lives, have we?"
Although it's called the ocean, this is only the nearshore waters and doesn't belong to the mermaids' territory. Moreover, on previous occasions, they hadn't seen any mermaids come out to negotiate or stop them.
"Despicable humans, your schemes will never succeed!" The 100,000-year-old mermaid transmitted his thoughts, filled with strong resistance.
"Huh?" Ji Siyuan was so puzzled that he wanted to open his eyes and question the mermaid. What kind of scheme could they possibly have? What kind of scheme would involve throwing two geniuses into the sea and subjecting them to such torment?
The conversation ended before it even began.
The mermaid's resentment reminded him of the story in the script.
He cursed inwardly, "What Beast! Did those Evil Soul Master attack the Sea Soul Beast at this hour?"
Explanations now are futile; we must return to shore.
Unfortunately, they were severely restricted in the deep sea and could only rely on the Soul-Cleansing Mirror Lake to resist the mermaids' mental attacks.
But the Soul-Cleansing Mirror Lake is, after all Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill. Even with Ji Siyuan's help, Huo Yutong wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
"Humans, once you've come, don't even think about leaving. Do you think I can't break through your domain?" A middle-aged mermaid swam out; she was the Sea Princess, a sea Sea Soul Beast over 600,000 years old.
