Jing Chen thought for a moment, then picked up a pen and began writing a reply to Ma Ming, explaining a few matters to him.

After finishing the letter, he did not immediately have someone deliver it. Instead, he waited a few days.

During those days, he placed the newly manufactured thousand jet devices into his Storage Ring and had them delivered to Shrek City along with the letter.

He also set out to sea once more. Since the Reincarnation Shop was developing well, there was nothing left for him to worry about.

As for those who had come knocking, demanding the method for making the jet devices, he could deal with them later.

Everyone had to take responsibility for their actions. Since they had done wrong, they should pay the price for it.

Jing Chen returned to the Giant Tooth Shark Sea Domain. After half a year of hunting by him and Yi Yi, the number of Giant Tooth Sharks in these waters had plummeted.

There were not many Ten-Thousand-Year Giant Tooth Sharks left, though there were still quite a few Thousand-Year ones.

However, Giant Tooth Sharks of that level were hardly worth devouring. Yi Yi did not even fancy them.

Their target now was the six Hundred-Thousand-Year Giant Tooth Sharks. Those were what truly interested Yi Yi.

There had originally been seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in these waters. One had already been devoured by Yi Yi over the past half year, leaving only six.

The number of seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had been determined through Yi Yi's sensing and communication with Sea Soul Beasts.

Jing Chen's strategy for these six Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts remained the same: defeat them one by one.

This time, however, he would not lure them over with blood. Instead, he would take the initiative and kill them in their own territories.

There were now very few Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Giant Tooth Shark Sea Domain, so entering it was not as dangerous as before. It was necessary to be bolder.

Ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts already possessed a strong sense of territory, while Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts possessed an even stronger one.

Although they lived in the same sea domain, the locations of these Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were not particularly close to one another.

That gave Jing Chen the opportunity to take them down individually. If they had gathered together, they would have been truly difficult to handle.

Yi Yi was tasked with locating the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. The little fellow searched through the sea, carefully sensing their auras.

The search was rather time-consuming. It took them two days to find the first Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

The battle was as simple and brutal as ever. Yi Yi clung tightly to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Giant Tooth Shark, driving the Evil God Hook into its body.

This fighting method was utterly shameless, leaving the Hundred-Thousand-Year Giant Tooth Shark with no way to respond.

It swam desperately, repeatedly crashing into the seabed and rocks in an attempt to shake Yi Yi off.

But Yi Yi was clever, constantly adjusting its position and avoiding the Giant Tooth Shark's attacks.

After struggling for more than half an hour, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Giant Tooth Shark was completely exhausted and soon stopped breathing.

Bang! The Giant Tooth Shark crashed heavily onto the seabed, and a blood-red soul ring floated out from its body.

Yi Yi did not spare this soul ring either, directly devouring it. The Soul Beast origin within it was still useful to Yi Yi.

Next, Yi Yi began using its sharp tiger claws to carve up the Giant Tooth Shark's corpse.

Over the past half year, it had done this many times. By now, it was thoroughly familiar with the process.

The locations it cut into were also carefully chosen: places with unusual Soul Power fluctuations.

Such locations were often where soul bones formed. Its task was to take out the soul bones produced there.

Before long, Yi Yi dug out a dark bluish-green soul bone from the rear right side of the Giant Tooth Shark's body.

It was a Hundred Thousand Year right leg bone. Its structure was complete, making it an exceptionally high-quality soul bone.

Yi Yi swallowed the soul bone into its stomach, then quickly fled. It had already sensed other Soul Beasts approaching.

It fled diagonally upward before leaping straight out of the sea. The Time and Space Divine Tower emerged from its mouth, and then it vanished into thin air.

The one that arrived was a ferocious-beast-level Giant Tooth Shark. When it saw the slain Giant Tooth Shark, it roared again and again.

The successive deaths of its kin filled it with rage, and it vented its fury without restraint.

The seawater in this region was churned into chaos, rising and falling violently as the surrounding Soul Beasts fled in terror.

Jing Chen did not send Yi Yi out to fight again. Hunting one Hundred-Thousand-Year Giant Tooth Shark today was enough. There was no need to be greedy.

A few days later, they began searching for the second Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Then came the third and fourth. After nearly two months, every Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Giant Tooth Shark Sea Domain had been killed by them.

The strongest among them was a Giant Tooth Shark with over two hundred thousand years of cultivation, reaching the level of a ferocious beast.

This Giant Tooth Shark was also the hardest to kill, because it could take human form.

Against a shark capable of taking human form, Yi Yi's previously shameless fighting method no longer worked. It could only win through raw strength.

Fortunately, Yi Yi's strength had increased greatly through its devouring during this period, and its cultivation had reached more than seventy-one thousand years.

Even with its strength limited to only seventy or eighty percent, this level of cultivation was enough to contend with that ferocious-beast-level Giant Tooth Shark.

In the end, Yi Yi successfully killed the ferocious-beast-level Giant Tooth Shark and devoured all of its cultivation.

After devouring that two-hundred-thousand-year-plus Giant Tooth Shark, Yi Yi's cultivation increased by more than three thousand years.

To gain another three thousand years of cultivation while already at more than seventy thousand years was an enormous improvement.

After all, once Yi Yi had broken through to seventy thousand years, devouring a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could only increase its cultivation by a little over one thousand years.

After dealing with the last Hundred-Thousand-Year Giant Tooth Shark, Jing Chen began shifting his hunting grounds.

This time, his destination was the Demon Whale Sea Domain. He planned to begin a new round of hunting there.

Going to the Demon Whale Sea Domain would also be an immense test for him, because there were no islands nearby.

At least, none were marked on the map. That meant that once he entered those waters, he would need to live at sea.

Drifting on the ocean the entire time was hardly a pleasant experience. It would be far too grueling.

For him, the only thing that could be considered good news was that Yi Yi had awakened a new spatial talent skill.

This skill had awakened when Yi Yi broke through to seventy thousand years. It was called Space Shuttle.

As the name implied, it was a skill that traversed space. Once used, Yi Yi could instantly appear in the distance.

After testing it, Jing Chen discovered that Yi Yi could currently cross a maximum distance of five hundred kilometers.

The test had been conducted while carrying him. He did not dare let Yi Yi try it alone, afraid the little fellow would get lost.

With this skill, traveling became much more convenient. He would no longer have to waste time on the road.

It was worth mentioning that every time Yi Yi's cultivation broke through another ten thousand years, it awakened two talent skills.

These talent skills were related to its attributes. They could be spatial attributes, darkness attributes, wind and lightning attributes, and so on.
