After thinking it over, Jing Chen 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 several 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 looking for the method to make jet devices, he would 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 this sea domain 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. Even Yi Yi did not care for them.

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

There had originally been seven Hundred-Thousand-Year ones in this sea domain. Yi Yi had devoured one over the past half year, leaving only six.

The number of seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had been determined after Yi Yi sensed them and communicated with the Sea Soul Beasts.

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

This time, however, he did not lure them over with blood. Instead, he took the initiative and went to their territories to kill them.

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

Ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts already possessed territorial instincts, and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had even stronger ones.

Though they lived in the same sea domain, these Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were not located too close to one another.

That gave Jing Chen the chance to pick them off individually. If they had gathered together, they would truly have been difficult to handle.

The task of locating the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts fell to Yi Yi. The little fellow searched through the sea, carefully sensing their auras.

The search took quite a while. It took them two days to find the first Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

The battle was still simple and brutal. Yi Yi clung tightly to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Giant Tooth Shark, its Evil God Hook piercing into the shark's body.

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

It swam desperately and repeatedly rammed into the seabed and rocks, trying to smash Yi Yi off.

But Yi Yi was clever as well, 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 finally ran out of strength 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, devouring it directly. The Soul Beast Origin Source was still useful to it.

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

Over the past half year, it had dissected Soul Beast corpses many times. By now, it was thoroughly practiced at it.

It was also particular about where it cut, targeting places with unusual Soul Power fluctuations.

Such places were often where Spirit Bones formed. All it needed to do was take out the Spirit Bone that had formed there.

Very soon, Yi Yi dug out a dark bluish-green Spirit Bone from the Giant Tooth Shark's right rear side.

It was a Hundred-Thousand-Year right leg bone, complete in structure and an exceptionally fine Spirit Bone.

Yi Yi swallowed the Spirit Bone into its stomach, then fled at once. It had already sensed other Soul Beasts approaching.

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

The one that arrived was a Ferocious Beast-level Giant Tooth Shark. Upon seeing the slain Giant Tooth Shark, it roared repeatedly.

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

The seawater in this area 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 the fourth. Over nearly two months, they killed every Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Giant Tooth Shark Sea Domain.

The strongest among them was a Giant Tooth Shark with more than two hundred thousand years of cultivation, reaching the Ferocious Beast level.

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

When faced with a shark capable of taking human form, Yi Yi's previously shameless tactics no longer worked. It could only rely on raw strength to win.

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

Even with its strength limited to only seventy or eighty percent, that level of cultivation was enough to contend with the 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 Giant Tooth Shark with more than two hundred thousand years of cultivation, Yi Yi's cultivation increased by more than three thousand years.

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

After all, once Yi Yi broke through to seventy thousand years, devouring Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts 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 moving to a new hunting ground.

This time, his destination was the Demon Whale Sea Domain, where he planned to begin another round of hunting.

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

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

Drifting endlessly across the ocean was hardly a pleasant experience. It would be far too grueling.

The only thing that counted as good news was that Yi Yi had awakened a new Space Attribute talent skill.

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

As its name implied, it was a skill that traversed space. After using it, Yi Yi could instantly appear far away.

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

He conducted this test while Yi Yi carried him. He did not dare let the little fellow try it alone, fearing it might get lost.

With this skill, traveling became much more convenient for him. He no longer had 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 Space Attribute skills, or skills of darkness, wind, lightning, and other attributes.
