Early the next morning, Tang Wulin appeared on the playground on time.
After a week of adapting to weight-bearing, his pace is now much brisker.
The protective gear weighing two thousand kilograms is still heavy on his body, but at least it won't make it difficult for him to move.
Long Yuan is already waiting for him.
But what surprised Tang Wulin was that there was another person standing next to Long Yuan - Lan Fozi.
Lan Fozi saw him, blinked, and showed a cute smile.
"Hello."
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment and looked at Long Yuan.
Long Yuan didn't explain, just turned around and walked out. "Follow me."
The three of them crossed the street of Eastsea City and headed east.
Tang Wulin gradually understood their destination - the seaside.
When the vast sea appeared in her field of vision, Lan Fozi's eyes suddenly lit up. She took a deep breath, and her whole body became much more excited.
"I haven't seen the sea for a long time!"
Long Yuan glanced at her but said nothing.
The three of them walked to a deserted reef beach. The waves crashed against the reef, making a roaring sound, and the sea breeze blew against their faces with a salty and wet breath.
"Go down." Long Yuan pointed to the sea water.
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, but he still took off his coat and walked into the sea. The water was up to his waist and up to his chest. In the end, he could only stand on a submerged rock, with the water just reaching his shoulders.
Long Yuan looked at Lan Fozi.
Lan Fozi nodded and closed his eyes.
The next second, Tang Wulin felt that the sea water under his feet suddenly became restless.
An undercurrent surged from the depths and hit him hard, almost knocking him over. He quickly stabilized his body, but then the second and third undercurrents hit him one after another, each one stronger than the previous one.
"This is..." Tang Wulin looked at Lan Fozi on the shore in surprise.
Lan Fozi opened his eyes and smiled at him.
She raised her hands gently, and the seawater seemed to obey her call, forming regular undercurrents in front of her, continuously impacting Tang Wulin.
Long Yuan's voice came from the shore. "The second stage of physical training is to resist the impact of the current, until you can resist the attack of the waves head-on."
Tang Wulin swallowed.
Not to be knocked down?
It was already very difficult for him to just stand still.
A bigger undercurrent hit, Tang Wulin's feet slipped, and he was swept into the sea.
After a few seconds, he struggled to surface and gasped for air.
Lan Fozi looked at Long Yuan with a guilty conscience. "Brother-in-law... did I try too hard?"
Long Yuan shook his head.
"Continue."
Tang Wulin gritted his teeth and stood on the rock again.
The undercurrent struck again, but this time, he did not resist. He relaxed his body and moved along with the current, while constantly adjusting his center of gravity.
Ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
One minute.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that although he was still shaking, he could barely stand.
Lan Fozi's eyes lit up on the shore and he whispered to Long Yuan, "He adapted very quickly."
Long Yuan nodded and said nothing.
But the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
At the same time, within Spirit Ascension Platform.
Zhang Yangzi was flying in the air, scanning the surrounding jungle vigilantly. Black Eagle was hovering beside him, also maintaining vigilance.
Below, Xie Xie is squatting behind a big tree, peering around to observe what's going on ahead.
"How is it?" Gu Yuena's voice came from behind.
Xie Xie retracted his head and whispered, "There are seven or eight Flame Lion in front of us, and the leading one seems to be bigger than the one last time."
Wang Jinxi stood aside silently, ready to release Martial Soul at any time.
Zhang Yangzi fell from the sky and whispered, "There is no way around it. This area is their territory, either fight or retreat."
Gu Yuena glanced at him.
"Hit."
She turned to look at everyone.
"Xie Xie, go and distract the ones on the outside. Wang Jinxi, block the leader. Zhang Yangzi, harass them in the air, don't let them have the chance to command the group."
Xie Xie took a deep breath and disappeared from the spot.
After a while, an angry roar came from the direction of the Flame Lion group.
"Coming!"
A Flame Lion rushed out chasing Xie Xie, followed by a second and a third...
Wang Jinxi strode forward, Bone Dragon Martial Soul unleashed its full force, and collided head-on with the giant Flame Lion in the lead.
"Bang!"
The shock wave scattered in all directions, and Wang Jinxi took two steps back, but stood firm.
Zhang Yangzi swooped down from the air and slashed the other Flame Lion's back with a knife. Black Eagle followed closely behind, striking its eyes with sharp claws.
Xie Xie's figure shuttled among the lions, leaving Light Dragon Dagger with a trail of cold light. Although he could not break through the defense, every attack landed accurately on Flame Lion's eyes, nose and other vulnerable parts, making the other party angry but helpless.
Then while the opponent is going crazy, he uses his best running skills and leads him in crazy circles.
Gu Yuena stood in the distance, four colors of light condensed on his fingertips.
She was waiting for a chance to kill with one strike.
The battle lasted for a full quarter of an hour.
When the last Flame Lion fell, Xie Xie collapsed directly on the ground, gasping for air.
"I... I can't do it anymore... Why is this thing so durable..."
Wang Jinxi stood aside silently, with a few scorched marks on his clothes. His face was a little pale, but he still stood.
Zhang Yangzi fell from the air, and Black Eagle squatted on his shoulders, with messy feathers.
Gu Yuena walked to the body of Flame Lion, and the pale golden spiritual power slowly floated up, divided into five parts, and merged into everyone's body.
She glanced at Xie Xie and said calmly, "It's a bit of progress."
Xie Xie was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
"Of course! I'm a genius!"
"It seems that you have to leave Tang Wulin so that you can grow quickly."
Xie Xie's smile froze on his face.
In the evening, when Tang Wulin climbed ashore from the sea, his whole body was shaking.
His clothes were clinging tightly to his body, his hair was wet and hanging on his forehead, and his face was as pale as a piece of paper. His mouth was filled with the salty taste of sea water, which made him frown.
Not only that, he opened his clothes and saw bright red blood spots inside, which were caused by Lan Fozi's later attack, under the instruction of Long Yuan, using his water control ability to change the sea water into various forms.
Lan Fozi squatted on the reef and looked at him worriedly.
"Are you okay?"
Tang Wulin waved his hands and wanted to say "It's okay", but when he opened his mouth, he started retching.
Lan Fozi shrank back, she had a great time today, but Tang Wulin suffered from the same old sin.
Long Yuan came over, took a look at Tang Wulin's condition, and reached out to press his shoulder.
"It's okay."
Tang Wulin raised his head and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Master... will you come again tomorrow?"
Long Yuan glanced at him.
"Come."
Tang Wulin's smile completely disappeared.
Lan Fozi couldn't help laughing, but Tang Wulin took a look and quickly covered his mouth.
"I-I'm not laughing at you..." she explained guiltily, "I just think... you look good when you drink sea water... um..."
Tang Wulin didn't have the energy to argue with her, so he sat down on the rock and looked up at the sunset on the horizon.
Lan Fozi hesitated for a moment and sat down next to him.
"Brother Wulin, why are you working so hard?"
Tang Wulin was silent for a while and said softly, "Because I want to become stronger."
"What are you doing to become stronger?"
"Protect those you want to protect."
Lan Fozi blinked, half understanding.
She has never had this thought before. She has always been the one being protected.
In the distance, Long Yuan looked at them quietly without speaking.
The sea breeze blew by, bringing with it a salty and moist breath.
The waves crashed against the rocks, making a rhythmic sound.
When night fell, Tang Wulin dragged his exhausted body back to the dormitory.
Opening the door, Xie Xie is already there.
"Wulin! You're back!" Xie Xie came over with excitement on his face, "Let me tell you, today we are at Spirit Ascension Platform..."
Halfway through his words, he finally saw the state of Tang Wulin clearly.
"Fuck, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Wulin didn't have the strength to explain, so he took out the piece of Refined Iron from Storage Soul Tool, sat on it, and gasped for air.
Xie Xie was silent.
After a long time, he patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder.
"Brother, I'll ask the cafeteria to get you an extra serving of braised pork tomorrow."
Tang Wulin raised his head and looked at him.
Xie Xie looks serious.
"Bubu."
Tang Wulin couldn't help but laugh.
"Get lost."
Outside the window, the night is getting darker.
The sea in the distance glowed with a faint silver light under the moonlight, and the waves still lapped the rocks.
Tomorrow is another day of suffering.
The main text is enough, the following will not affect the main text:
Because the modification permission is locked, I will explain it here.
Deep Sea Demon Whale was actually mentioned in the original work, but the author always remembered that at the end, when Tang Wulin was about to kill Demon Empress, Lan Fozi came out to stop him from killing him. The narrator said that she was the only remaining Deep Sea Demon Whale.
Later, after being reminded by a reader, I re-read the original work and found that there are indeed other tribesmen. Therefore, the setting in the previous article that Lan Fozi is the last Deep Sea Demon Whale is problematic, so I would like to remind you here.
Thank you!
