Diligent

Hong saw clearly the scene where Xu Qing ripped the sea apart.

Hong could do it himself, but only if he had a whip several hundred meters long, and it wouldn't be that easy for him; it would take some effort.

But he's a being Beyond War God of War; his cultivation is several levels higher than Xu Qing's, so it's normal for him to do something like this.

But Xu Qing is only a Peak War God. Even a Spirit Controller shouldn't have such combat power.

But he certainly showed it.

In particular, Xu Qing's actions of stirring up the sea were quite remarkable. If it were him, he would take a huge stick that was hundreds of meters long, stick it into the sea, and then stir it up forcefully.

Hong felt that even if he were given such a stick, he wouldn't be able to do what Xu Qing did so casually—stirring up the sea while simultaneously Strangulation sea monsters.

This is something that his high level of cultivation alone could accomplish.

"Is it really possible for someone's Spiritual Force to be that strong?" Hong found it somewhat hard to understand.

He wasn't Spirit Controller, so naturally he didn't know that Spiritual Force could be used to exert force, and that it was even simpler.

"From the Grand Nirvana until now, this is the first person who has impressed me so much. There's also Luo Feng, who also has qualities that I can't understand," Hong muttered to himself.

Hong continued watching the satellite feed, while Xu Qing continued on to the next location for the operation.

"This kid, is he a workaholic?" Hong chuckled. Even if he's efficient, he doesn't need to be this diligent.

Since no one was urging him, Hong was even less likely to.

He could tell that Xu Qing intended to go all the way up the coastline and become a monster-clearing machine for the nearshore area.

"Getting close to the Huangpu River might attract the attention of a King Level monster. Hopefully, this kid will be careful. However, with the Black God Set, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Maybe this kid can give me a surprise," Hong thought, recalling Xu Qing's previous performance, and began to look forward to it.

A few days later, a huge, dark red whirlpool spun on the azure sea.

Xu Qing stood above the vortex, holding a bag of snacks, eating with relish while doing her homework.

Beep beep!

"Hmm? Future brother-in-law? What's up?" Xu Qing answered the phone.

"Next month on the 1st is the day I take office Inspector of Jiangnan Base City. There will be a banquet. Are you coming?" Luo Feng asked.

Xu Qing thought for a moment, "I'm very busy, I can't come."

"Busy? What are you busy with? Aren't you home?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.

"Of course, I go out to sea to fish, and I get a blast in the net every day," Xu Qing replied without hesitation.

Luo Feng was speechless. What the heck? He knew it couldn't be the literal meaning. "You're at the beach?"

"Yes," Xu Qing nodded.

"You went so soon? You really enjoy getting things done?" Luo Feng joked.

"What do you know, future brother-in-law? I'm just protecting our country and eliminating the invaders for Huaxia," Xu Qing said, pursing his lips.

"Alright, alright, your sister's back too, you really aren't coming?" Luo Feng asked again.

Xu Qing harbored resentment, "Future brother-in-law, how dare you Sister Xin? It's all because of you. Sister Xin is now hoping I'll stop bothering her. I don't want to be a third wheel for you two."

"Haha," Luo Feng understood. It turned out that Xu Xin was starting to side with him, and his future brother-in-law was a little unhappy.

However, Luo Feng still said, "Alright then, since you're busy, I'll invite Teacher Qin to attend in your place. Is that alright?"

"Okay, let Linlin go," Xu Qing thought it was a good idea.

If he were to attend a banquet now, his eating habits would probably be exposed. After all, he is Peak War God, and who would dare to criticize him?

However, in such a formal setting, it's best to maintain a certain image, so it's probably better for him not to go.

"Okay, I'll go invite Teacher Qin later. Also, Xiao Qing, be careful at the beach by yourself. Don't push yourself too hard. Your sister, Teacher Qin, and I will all be worried," Luo Feng reminded her.

In his eyes, Xu Qing was not only his future brother-in-law, but also a friend and a mischievous younger brother.

Unlike Luo Hua, who was quiet and reserved, Xu Qing was cheerful, lively, lazy, and mischievous, making him very likable.

"Relax, relax, who am I? There's no danger. Okay, I have something to do, I'll hang up now," Xu Qing said and then hung up.

Meanwhile, in the Jiangnan Base City, Luo Feng and Xu Xin exchanged a glance and smiled.

"It seems Xiao Qing still harbors some resentment towards you, her older sister," Luo Feng joked.

"That's all because of you," Xu Xin rolled her eyes at him. She had to balance her boyfriend and her silly younger brother.

She paused, then became worried again, "Is it really okay for Xiao Qing to go to the beach alone?"

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. His strength is even greater than we imagined," Luo Feng said with a smile, having no doubt about Xu Qing whatsoever.

In his view, Xu Qing was a natural-born cultivation prodigy, making rapid progress in his cultivation level, even surpassing his own abilities.

"You trust him that much?" Xu Xin asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's because I know how monstrous he is. A prodigy like him can achieve rapid growth without anyone noticing, which is really terrifying," Luo Feng nodded, his expression serious.

Xu Xin was surprised; she hadn't expected Luo Feng to have such a high opinion of Xu Qing.

"Aren't you surprised? That's because I spent four months with him. Although Xiao Qing may seem a bit unreliable at times, he has always been progressing at his own pace, and his progress has been achieved quietly and without fanfare."

"That's why others can't tell at all. Just imagine, someone who doesn't seem to change much normally, but whose strength is constantly changing, isn't that terrifying?" Luo Feng laughed.

"That is indeed quite scary. I feel the same way. Xiao Qing seems to have been like this since he was a child, probably because of his appearance. Anyway, no one has ever been afraid of him."

"But his strength is not like that. Before he deliberately revealed it, even I didn't notice it at all," Xu Xin nodded.

Luo Feng smiled. "So, having such a prodigious future brother-in-law puts a lot of pressure on me."

"Haha, then you'd better keep it up," Xu Xin chuckled.

"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me. The faster Xiao Qing walks, the faster I can walk too," Luo Feng said with a carefree smile.

Before talking about surpassing, one must first accumulate knowledge and experience. Only with sufficient accumulation can one transform and achieve rebirth.

Hearing Luo Feng say this, Xu Xin could feel a magnanimous heart and a firm belief.

"It seems you and Xiao Qing get along very well," Xu Xin.

"Yes, being with better people makes you better too," Luo Feng nodded, and besides, Xu Qing was his future brother-in-law, one of his own.

With this relationship in place, the two can communicate comfortably without needing to hide anything.

"So you're implying I'm not as good as Xiao Qing, right?" Xu Xin narrowed her eyes.

Luo Feng's hair stood on end, sensing danger. He immediately shook his head, "Of course not, I was talking about cultivation."

"That would be best," Xu Xin glanced at him, then turned and walked forward.

"Phew, she's even jealous of her own brother," Luo Feng chuckled, and quickly followed after her.

Xu Qing was even jealous of her future brother-in-law before; the two siblings really are quite alike.

August 23rd, evening.

Less than a thousand kilometers from the Huangpu River, the Smart Fighter Jet Little White is parked on a mountaintop. Xu Qing sits in the cockpit, talking to Qin Lin on the screen.

"Xiao Qing, are you really not going to the banquet on the 1st of next month?" Qin Lin asked with a smile, still wearing her pajamas.

"No, you can go in my place. I'm afraid I won't be able to control my hands... and mouth if I go," Xu Qing waved his hand.

Seeing that he really didn't want to go, Qin Lin shrugged, "Alright then, I'll go in your place."

She paused, then asked, "Xiao Qing, it's been ten days. Where are you now?"

"We're almost at the Huangpu River," Xu Qing replied.

"The Huangpu River," Qin Lin's expression turned slightly serious, "Is where sea monsters are most rampant, with a beast tide breaking out every four or five months."

"It's estimated that the next beast tide might not be far off, Xiao Qing, you need to be careful."

"Yeah, I know. I'm not afraid of beast tides. I like enemies in groups, and I even want to go head-to-head with King Level monster," Xu Qing said.

Hearing Xu Qing say this, Qin Lin looked surprised, "Xiao Qing, you've broken through?"

"Not yet, it's too early for a breakthrough. I need to consolidate my strength for another month or two. But I'm confident I can handle a King Level monster right now," Xu Qing shook his head.

"Oh, I see. Since you're confident, Xiao Qing, then go for it. There's nothing I can do to help you, I can only cheer you on from home," Qin Lin said with a smile.

"Okay, Linlin, all you have to do is cheer me on," Xu Qing chuckled.

After ending the call, Xu Qing stepped out of the cabin and looked at the dark sea, where glowing sea monsters roamed.

"Let's get to work! I'm a hardworking little fisherman, catching big fish every day..."

Humming a song, Xu Qing arrived at the sea.

Sizzle!

The God-Splitting Silk pierced the sea, stringing together a dozen glowing sea monsters, and then shredded them into pieces.

Then, Xu Qing scattered out some of the prepared chunks of meat from the Lord Level sea monster.

The smell of fresh blood can attract sea monsters more quickly, while chunks of Lord Level meat are used as bait to lure Lord Level sea monsters.

Xu Qing then ascended into the air, away from the sea surface, to monitor the situation in the ocean.

Although it was nighttime, the visibility in the seawater was actually higher because there were many bioluminescent marine creatures, including some sea monsters.

The marine monsters can be easily identified by the bioluminescence of the seawater.

In less than twenty minutes, more than a dozen Lord Level sea monsters appeared here, and there were countless other sea monsters, so many that it was frightening.

"Compared to those places before, the number has increased three or four times. It seems that the sea monsters near the Huangpu River have become so numerous that they are overflowing," Xu Qing exclaimed in surprise.

However, his gaze grew colder. No wonder these sea monsters dared to launch beast tides every now and then; they were all lurking on the seabed near the coast.

Once their leader gives the order, they rush out and invade the land.

"There are too many Lord Level monsters. The killing net woven from the God-Splitting Silk can't cover them all, so this is the only way," Xu Qing said, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent as he looked at the dozen Lord Level sea monsters.

He plummeted towards the sea, and then, under the cover of night, appeared above those Lord Level sea monsters.

Thick water arrows, each five meters long, rapidly formed around the Lord Level sea monsters, then each locked onto one of them.

"Kill!" With a thought, Xu Qing unleashed a barrage of thick water arrows that instantly reached speeds exceeding twenty times the speed of sound.

Puff!

There were more than a dozen Lord Level sea monsters. Although they were also very careful, while gnawing on chunks of meat, they did not forget to be vigilant about their surroundings and be wary of other Lord Level.

Even so, they couldn't even react before these water arrows pierced their bodies.

The thick water arrows pierced through the Lord Level sea monsters with unstoppable force, weaving back and forth, turning them into sieves in just a few seconds.

The strong stench of blood filled the air, driving the surrounding sea monsters into a frenzy.

Although they didn't know how these Lord Level died, their low intelligence meant they wouldn't be as cunning as the Lord Level monsters.

Therefore, they all choose to follow their instincts.

This is why Xu Qing prioritized eliminating Lord Level enemies before dealing with the smaller ones; Lord Level enemies are more intelligent and will flee immediately once they sense danger.

Moreover, Lord Level monsters have a strong ability to sense danger, which is what makes them the most troublesome.

"Next comes the Strangulation operation," Xu Qing said with a cold smile, watching the sea monsters frantically devouring the corpses. "Eat, eat, eat more, so you can make your way to the afterlife."

The light reflected from the seawater shone on his face, creating a terrifying atmosphere, like that of a female ghost.

If anyone saw it, they would definitely be so frightened that their legs would go weak, thinking it was a ghost floating in the sea.

"I'll stir it up, I'll stir it up, I'll shred it all!" Xu Qing used his Spiritual Force to manipulate the God-Splitting Silk, creating a giant waterspout in the sea that swept up all the surrounding sea monsters.

After stirring for a few minutes, Xu Qing stopped.

"That's about enough for now, let's move on to the next place," Xu Qing said, and quickly left.

The moonlight shone on the sea, revealing countless floating objects.

Before long, Xu Qing appeared on the coast fifty kilometers away.

The reason for using 50 kilometers as a distance is to prevent two operations from being too close together, which could lead to some escaped sea monsters giving away information.

Even the least intelligent sea monsters below the Lord Level still have the ability to communicate, and they will definitely stay away from dangerous places, or even keep a great distance from them.

A few days later, Xu Qing arrived at a place not far from the Huangpu River.

"I feel like my Spiritual Force has become even stronger, which is strange. I'm Archer, and I haven't practiced archery much these past few days," Xu Qing muttered.

His current archery skills allow him to shoot at a distance of 2,500 meters, but he has not yet reached the limit of the War God of War.

The limit is 3,000 meters. Only if he can hit the target every time at a distance of 3,000 meters can he be considered to have reached the pinnacle of the War God Level.

In order to clear out the sea monsters in the nearshore waters, Xu Qing didn't practice archery much this time, relying mainly on his Spiritual Force.
