Setting Sail

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the port, Han Jing had been waiting for some time with twenty or thirty Soul Master. Behind them, a ship made of alloy was docked in the port, with several Soul Cannon mounted on its hull.

Han Jing strode up to Yu Changge and respectfully introduced, "Your Highness, this ship is named Sun Moon. It is equipped with advanced Soul Guidance Technology imported from the Sun-Moon Continent, which is sufficient to deal with any dangers that may be encountered during the voyage."

"As for these people, they were all crew members specially assigned to this ship by the Second Worship, originally intended for use on the next voyage."

"However, since Your Highness has the need, let them accompany you on your voyage first. The second ship is already under construction."

Yu Changge looked at the Sun Moon in front of her and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, very well prepared."

Then, he looked at Han Jing and noticed that the other man was dressed in clothes suitable for going to sea, so he couldn't help but ask, "Then what's with your outfit?"

Upon hearing this, Han Jing immediately cupped his hands and said, "Han Jing Highness, I dare to request to accompany you on this sea voyage. I have already entrusted the affairs of the branch hall entirely to the deputy hall master."

After a moment's thought, Yu Changge agreed.

Han Jing is Soul Douluo himself, so his strength is not weak. Moreover, his advantage lies in his speed, which allows him to play a significant role in the sea.

More importantly, with him taking turns keeping watch in the team, I can feel more at ease during my rest time, without having to constantly monitor the surroundings.

"Alright, I'll write a letter. Have someone send it back to the Spirit Hall and tell the Second Worship and the others to come over after the second ship is built."

Han Jing was overjoyed and immediately replied, "Yes, Your Highness!"

After making the arrangements, Yu Changge took Gu Yuena aboard the Sun Moon, and the other crew members returned to their posts to begin preparations for sailing.

After the Sun Moon departed from the port of Vast Sea City, Yu Changge asked Han Jing to retrieve the sea map.

Inside the cabin, several experienced veteran crew members gathered around the nautical map. Having sailed at sea for many years, they had a good understanding of the nearby ocean currents, wind direction, and the activity areas of the Sea Soul Beast.

Yu Changge picked up a pen and drew a route on the sea map. Then, pointing to several locations, she said, "Let's follow this route first, avoiding as many known dangerous areas as possible."

An experienced sailor examined the route carefully and nodded, saying, "Your Highness, this route is relatively safe. There are several areas along the way where Sea Soul Beast frequently roam; we can bypass them in advance."

"However, if we go any further, we'll be outside the range of our current nautical charts, and nobody knows what the situation will be like there."

Upon hearing Yu Changge did not seem to understand.

His original purpose was to go to the "Star Luo Continent," a continent that had not yet been discovered in this era.

"In known waters, follow your experience and try to ensure safe navigation. Once you enter unknown waters, be extra vigilant."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Han Jing immediately agreed, and then handed the route drawn by Yu Changge to the crew member in charge of steering the ship. The group began to adjust their course according to the plan.

The crew members on the Sun Moon were all from the Spirit Hall, with the lowest level of strength being Soul King, and all of them were skilled in swimming.

With them in charge of the daily navigation, Yu Changge was spared a lot of trouble.

After all, although he was powerful, the voyage was quite long, and if he had to do everything himself, he would be exhausted.

Since we have professional staff around us, we should naturally let them play their role.

The Sun Moon continued to move forward on the sea.

For the first few days, the voyage was relatively smooth. Occasionally, we encountered some Sea Soul Beast, but they mostly just observed from a distance and did not approach the ship.

However, the dangers at sea never completely disappear just because the navigation route is safe.

That morning, just as the Sun Moon had passed through a sea area, the crew members responsible for observing the sea suddenly noticed several huge dark shadows appearing near the ship.

"A Sea Soul Beast is approaching!"

At the sound of the warning, the crew members on deck became alert.

Several large Sea Soul Beast were seen slowly swimming around the Sun Moon, seemingly looking for a suitable opportunity to attack.

Han Jing arrived quickly, his expression slightly grave. "Your Highness, several Sea Soul Beast have been spotted ahead. Although they aren't particularly old, if they attack the ship together, it could still cause damage."

Yu Changge stood on the deck, glanced at the sea, and remained quite calm.

"Leave it to me, you guys continue with your own tasks."

After speaking, he raised his hand, and his Body Martial Soul quietly began to operate.

A deep and powerful aura of Kidney Water spread in all directions, carrying a sense of oppression that made the Sea Soul Beast instinctively fearful.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Changge unleashed his aura, which far surpassed that of ordinary Titled Douluo.

The next moment, the Sea Soul Beast that had been swimming around the Sun Moon suddenly became hesitant.

They seemed to sense something, and their bodies, which were about to approach the ship, quickly stopped. Then, without hesitation, they turned around and swam towards the depths of the sea.

The crew of the Sun Moon exchanged bewildered glances. "That's it?"

"I thought we were going to have a fight, but Your Highness only released a little bit of your aura, and those Sea Soul Beast just ran away?"

"Your Highness is incredibly powerful!"

Several crew members couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their eyes filled with amazement.

Having spent years sailing the seas, they naturally know how troublesome Sea Soul Beast are. Many of these Sea Soul Beast have a strong sense of territory, and even if they sense that their opponent is stronger, they may not easily back down.

But right now, Yu Changge only released his aura, and several Sea Soul Beast took the initiative to retreat. This strength was really beyond their imagination.

Han Jing was equally shocked. Although he had long known that Yu Changge's strength was unfathomable, witnessing this scene firsthand gave him a new understanding of the prince's power.

"Your Highness, your imposing aura can even easily subdue Sea Soul Beast; it truly broadens my horizons."

Yu Changge smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's best to avoid fighting if possible. Let's continue sailing."

In the following days, the Sun Moon encountered several more Sea Soul Beast approaching.

Some of the Sea Soul Beast merely lingered nearby, while others attempted to attack the ships from the seabed, but the results were all similar.

As long as Yu Changge is on the deck, he will release the Kidney Water ability of his Body Martial Soul, and with his own powerful aura, the Sea Soul Beast will often leave on their own without him even having to make a move.

After several attempts, the crew gradually figured out the pattern: as long as His Highness was still on the ship, ordinary Sea Soul Beast posed basically no threat.

Of course, they also understood that this did not mean there was no danger at sea. After all, the ocean was vast, and no one could guarantee that all the soul beasts they encountered would fear Yu Changge's aura.

After all, the Sea Soul Beast they had encountered before were at most Ten-Thousand-Year Level, and they had never met Hundred-Thousand-Year Tier.

They didn't know how far their voyage would take them, and they wouldn't be surprised at all if they encountered a 100,000-year-old Sea Soul Beast.

Whether His Highness's aura will have any effect on a 100,000-year-old Sea Soul Beast remains to be seen.

Night fell.

The Sun Moon continued to move slowly across the sea, with the crew taking turns on watch as arranged to ensure that no oversights occurred during the voyage.

After Yu Changge inspected the area and confirmed that there was nothing amiss, he prepared to return to his cabin to rest. However, Gu Yuena, who had been by his side, suddenly reached out and tugged at his sleeve.

When will we see the new continent?

Yu Changge glanced down at her and smiled, "That's hard to say. We don't even know how long the voyage will take, so whether we can find it successfully is another matter."

After hearing this, Gu Yuena did not show any disappointment. Instead, she looked up at the distant sea, her purple eyes filled with curiosity.

"I wonder if the people of the New World are the same as those of the Douluo Continent, and if they have any special delicacies?"

Upon hearing Yu Changge couldn't help but laugh, "You really are a foodie!"

Gu Yuena said calmly, "Aren't you curious?"

Yu Changge smiled and said, "To be honest, I am indeed a little curious."

Gu Yuena nodded and then asked, "Will there be seafood for breakfast tomorrow?"

Yu Changge paused, her lips twitching slightly. After going through all this trouble, it turned out this was what she cared about most!

"Yes, yes! As long as there's food on board, you won't go hungry."

He was getting tired of the food, but Gu Yuena never did. She pulled Yu Changge and headed towards the cabin.

After entering the cabin, Yu Changge did not rest immediately, but instead called Han Jing over.

"I may need to take some time to cultivate over the next few days, so please don't disturb me unless it's something particularly serious."

His Body Martial Soul already possessed both water and earth Soul Ring. He wanted to test whether, with his current strength, he could fuse the two elements to create a new technique.

To achieve this, mental strength is crucial, and coincidentally, his mental strength is quite formidable!

Upon hearing this, Han Jing immediately understood his meaning. "Your Highness, rest assured, I will arrange shifts to ensure the safe voyage of the Sun Moon."

"With the strength of the crew on the Sun Moon, they'll be fine as long as they don't encounter Sea Soul Beast or Sea Soul Beast over 50,000 years old."

Yu Changge nodded and instructed, "If any Sea Soul Beast approach, have the crew prepare. Don't panic; I'll sense it beforehand."

Han Jing respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Highness!"

After explaining these things, Yu Changge returned to her room.

For the next period of time, the Sun Moon continued to travel along the original route, while Han Jing and the crew took turns guarding the deck, keeping a close eye on the surrounding situation.

Even if Sea Soul Beast occasionally approaches, they will immediately sound the alarm.

However, in most cases, before those Sea Soul Beast could even get close, Yu Changge's aura had already spread out, driving them away.

However, as the voyage continued, the Sun Moon gradually entered areas not clearly marked on the nautical charts.

This is no longer the sea area they are familiar with. The crew has less and less information to refer to, and often they can only rely on experience to judge the ocean currents and sea surface changes ahead.

Han Jing also became noticeably more cautious, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, from here on, we officially enter the unknown sea."

Yu Changge nodded. "Continue according to the original plan, just stay vigilant, I'll take care of everything."

Han Jing didn't say anything more, but immediately relayed the order, and all the crew members began to observe the sea more carefully.

Sure enough, just two days later, the Sun Moon was attacked by a sizable Sea Soul Beast.

This time, more than a dozen enormous figures appeared beneath the sea, some of which were Sea Soul Beast far larger than those encountered before.

They approached the Sun Moon from different directions, subtly forming an encirclement.

"Your Highness, something's wrong!"

The lookout crew member immediately sounded the alarm.

Han Jing also rushed to the deck immediately, releasing his spiritual power to sense the situation underwater, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"These Sea Soul Beast possess a very strong aura; if they attack the ship's hull simultaneously, it could cause considerable damage!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sea suddenly exploded.

A massive Sea Soul Beast leaped out of the sea, its enormous body creating towering waves, before crashing into the side of the Sun Moon.

The crew's expressions changed drastically. If they were hit head-on by it, even though the Sun Moon were made of alloy, they would probably suffer considerable damage.

However, just as the Sea Soul Beast was about to crash into the ship, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the ship.

Yu Changge's Soul Power surged rapidly, and then a dazzling golden light shot into the sky.

"Since you don't want to leave, then you can all stay!"

As his words fell, a colossal golden dragon phantom appeared out of thin air above the Sun Moon.

It is Yu Changge's First Martial Soul, the Radiant Dragon King!

With the appearance of the Radiant Dragon King, the entire sea seemed to fall silent at that moment.

The power of Ultimate Light Attribute spread in all directions, golden radiance illuminated the sea surface, and an unparalleled dragon's might directly enveloped the surrounding sea area.

That oppressive aura was completely different from the aura released solely from Soul Power before.

It comes not only from Yu Changge's own powerful strength, but also from the superior Dragon Clan aura contained in the Radiant Dragon King Martial Soul.

The Sea Soul Beast that were swimming in the sea suddenly stopped moving as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying, and dared not approach any further.

The Sea Soul Beast that was about to collide with the Sun Moon ship suddenly twisted its body, dived directly into the sea, and fled into the distance without looking back.

The other Sea Soul Beast also dared not linger, and within a short time, they all disappeared near the ship.

The crew members, witnessing this scene, were at a loss for words to describe their feelings.

One of the crew members couldn't help but swallow hard, and whispered, "Just what level is Your Highness's Martial Soul?"

The people around them were equally shocked.

"Didn't you see that oppressive aura just now? Those Sea Soul Beast didn't even dare to continue their attack. Based on my years of experience, several of those Sea Soul Beast were over 50,000 years old!"

Standing on the deck, Han Jing gazed at the golden dragon circling above the Sun Moon, his heart also surging with immense emotion. This was the first time he had ever seen His Highness's Martial Soul.
