"Is this the ship you rented, Sect Master?"
Standing on the top floor of the Sea Demon Ship, looking out into the distance, Shui Yue'er cheered excitedly.
The sea breeze, carrying a salty, damp scent, caressed her cheeks. In the distance, the sea and sky merged into one, stretching to the horizon. Occasionally, a few seabirds skimmed across the water, emitting clear, melodious calls.
Shui Yue'er took a deep breath, her face filled with ecstasy.
For Shui Yue'er, who possesses the Dolphin Martial Soul, the ocean breeze that rushed towards her instantly gave her a feeling of returning home.
Lin Mo stood on the lower deck, looked up at her, and smiled slightly.
The Sea Demon Ship has three decks: two above deck with six rooms, and one below deck.
The rooms on deck were naturally reserved for Lin Mo and his guests, while Hai and his sailors lived in the rooms below deck.
The room wasn't luxuriously furnished, but it was clean and tidy, with Limber beds and comfortable tables and chairs.
Shui Yue'er unhesitatingly chose to share a room with her older sister Shui Bing'er.
Huo Wu seemed to have Frisk something and showed great interest in Zhu Zhuqing, who was hiding her identity.
Her gaze lingered on Zhu Zhuqing for a moment before she offered, "I want to share a room with her."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened slightly.
She glanced at Lin Mo instinctively, a questioning look in her eyes.
Lin Mo nodded slightly, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
Although Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat unwilling, she did not show any refusal and simply nodded slightly.
Seeing Huo Wu smiled with satisfaction and took Zhu Zhuqing's arm. "Let's go, let's go check out the room first."
Zhu Zhuqing was pulled along by her, and walked somewhat awkwardly toward the cabin.
The remaining rooms are just right, one room for each person.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling each had their own room, with the two women positioned on either side of Lin Mo Lin Mo's room, sandwiching it in the middle.
After the rooms were assigned, everyone went back to their rooms to unpack their luggage.
Soon after, the rough sound of the sea came from the deck.
"Raise anchor, let's go!"
With Captain Hai's command, the Sea Demon Ship officially set sail!
After the Sea Demon Ship left the harbor area, the mainsail was raised, and the huge sail billowed in the wind, and the speed increased significantly.
According to the nautical chart provided by Lin Mo, the Sea Demon Ship is proceeding in the designated direction.
The Sea Demon Ship quickly accelerated towards their destination.
After the Sea Demon Ship officially entered the sea, Shui Yue'er became visibly more excited.
She even went back to her room, changed into a swimsuit, and looked eager to get in the water.
The swimsuit was light blue and quite daring in design, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.
She stood on the deck and waved to Shui Bing'er, "Sister, I want to go swimming for a while!"
Shui Bing'er frowned slightly, about to speak to stop her, but was stopped by Lin Mo beside her.
Lin Mo shook his head at her, indicating that there was no need to worry.
Lin Mo and his companions were sitting on the second deck of the Sea Demon Ship, watching the shimmering sea with great interest.
Aside from Zhu Zhuqing Feng Xiaotian, who remained in their respective rooms to continue their cultivation, the two of them wished they could split every spare moment in two.
Since leaving Heaven Dou City, Zhu Zhuqing has hardly left her room. Apart from necessary meals, she spends the rest of her time cultivating.
Feng Xiaotian was the same. Ever since he absorbed the Wolf Bandits's right leg bone, he had been cultivating with all his might, hoping to break through to level 60 as soon as possible and become a Soul Emperor.
However, when he saw Shui Yue'er preparing to enter the water, Hai decided to Role Play the role of captain and stepped forward to remind Lin Mo and the others.
He strode up to Lin Mo, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Honorable Lord Soul Master, this place is unlike the land; dangers lurk beneath the ocean."
Even in nearshore areas, one might encounter a thousand-year-old Sea Soul Beast.
The sound of the sea was not quiet; even Shui Yue'er was about to enter the water, could hear it clearly.
Shui Yue'er turned around, made a face at him, and then her Martial Soul instantly possessed her.
Two yellow and two purple Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath her feet, pulsating around her body.
The Soul Ancestor's strength with the best Soul Ring ratio, coupled with Shui Yue'er's seemingly young age, left Hai momentarily stunned.
He stared wide-eyed at the Soul Ring beneath Shui Yue'er's feet in disbelief.
Two yellow and two purple rings, Four-Ring Soul Ancestor!
This girl looks no older than twenty, yet she's already Four-Ring Soul Ancestor?!
Hai swallowed hard.
He was originally extremely confident; so what if these people were Soul Master?
He also has the advantage of poisoning first!
Moreover, even if the medicine really doesn't work, with his status as a Sea Soul Master with the cultivation of Five-Ring Soul King, he would be a sure winner against these young people who are not even twenty years old on the open sea.
How much can these people achieve? At best, they'll be a Three-Ring Soul Elder!
With his strength as Five-Ring Soul King, he could easily take care of all of them.
However, Shui Yue'er, who suddenly released four optimal Soul Ring and exuded the aura of a high-level Soul Ancestor, left him somewhat uncertain.
His gaze swept over Lin Mo and the others, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
A twenty-year-old Four-Ring Soul Ancestor —that's a top genius anywhere.
Could someone who can lead such a talented individual on an overseas expedition as a pioneer have a simple background?
The sea's heartbeat began to quicken.
Lin Mo took in Hai's reaction with great interest, amusement on his face.
He leaned against the ship's railing, his dark eyes calmly gazing at the sea, giving the sea a strange sense of pressure.
Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er was ready to unleash her Martial Soul at any moment to support her younger sister, who was playing freely in the ocean.
This is, after all, the ocean; it's not surprising what kind of monsters might lurk beneath the surface.
Shui Yue'er was completely unaware. She leaped into the sea with a graceful movement, barely splashing any water.
The moment she entered the sea, she was like a real dolphin, swimming freely in the water.
She moved nimbly, sometimes diving into the depths, sometimes leaping out of the water, letting out bursts of joyful laughter.
"Sister, come quick! The water feels so good!" Shui Yue'er waved towards the boat.
Shui Bing'er shook her head helplessly, rejecting her sister's suggestion, but the wariness in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Soon, Hai also Frisk Lin Mo's gaze.
Their eyes met.
Hai's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously tried to look away, but found that his gaze was fixed on the boy, unable to leave him.
Soon, Lin Mo shrugged and softly called out, "Come out, Charizard."
In an instant, the Martial Soul was released.
A flash of red light, and a rather large Charizard suddenly appeared on the deck.
"Roar--"
A deep dragon roar resounded, and a scorching aura instantly spread out.
Its broad wings were folded to its sides, and its thick tail swayed gently on the deck, the tip of which burned with a bright white flame.
Sensing its surroundings, Charizard flicked its tail in dissatisfaction, then forcefully Spit Up a puff of white smoke from its nostrils.
Although it is no longer afraid of water, the abundant water element in the surrounding ocean still makes it feel very uncomfortable.
Immediately afterwards, rings of Soul Ring appeared beneath the Charizard's feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black--
As the six Soul Ring lit up in succession, Hai's face began to turn pale.
And when the seventh Soul Ring ring lit up—
Hai was struck Bolt Strike, frozen in place.
It was an intensely rich, vivid, and dazzling crimson that sent chills down your spine!
" Seven-Ring Soul Sage!"
Hai cried out in shock, his voice trembling.
" Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
His legs began to weaken, and he almost couldn't stand up.
"And there's the dragon Beast Martial Soul here..."
Hai tried hard to recall the information in his mind, attempting to remember where he had heard about these things before.
Seven-Ring Soul Sage, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, a Dragon Beast Martial Soul, and the youngest member's age...
These characteristics combined mean that only one person on the entire continent fits the bill!
Hai's pupils contracted sharply, and a name flashed through his mind.
"You are... you are Lin Mo? The One-Character Prince Equal to the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Prince Lin?!"
His voice trembled, and cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks.
At that moment, Hai felt like dying.
Originally, he only wanted to rob some noble Soul Master to save some money for his son.
He had done this more than once, and each time it went smoothly.
Although those noble Soul Master had some strength, they were no match for him at sea, a five-ring Sea Soul Master.
Unexpectedly, this time they kicked the hottest plate in the world, actually running right into a big shot they'd only ever heard of in tavern legends.
Lin Mo, the eighteen-year-old Soul Saint with a seventh soul ring, is a monstrous genius with a seventh soul ring that has lasted for 100,000 years!
He had only heard of such a person's name mentioned by sailors in taverns when they boasted about it. At the time, he scoffed, thinking they were exaggerating and that such a monster could not possibly exist.
Now, the monster was standing right in front of him.
Moreover, he also wanted to rob this man...
Hai's legs began to tremble.
"Yes, I am Lin Mo!"
Lin Mo's dark eyes calmly gazed at the sea, a gaze so serene yet sending chills down Hai's spine.
"I'm not interested in your identity; all I care about is our previous agreement."
Lin Mo's voice was calm. "If you've taken my money, you naturally have to do as I say, understand? Mr. Pirate!"
Lin Mo directly revealed Hai's identity.
The people standing next to him, however, were already used to this scene.
Before they arrived, Lin Mo had already told them the true nature of the ship.
Confident in their own strength, and also quite excited about traveling to Sea God Island on a pirate ship.
They all looked on with amusement, surveying the sea that now felt like a thorn in their side.
Dugu Yan leaned against Lin Mo's side, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, her emerald green eyes full of laughter.
She had known this day would come. Ever since Lin Mo learned that there was something wrong with the ship, she had been looking forward to Hai's expression at this moment.
"Yes, Your Highness, Prince Lin."
Hai bent his head down, immediately breaking out in a cold sweat.
He bent over, head bowed, not daring to look Lin Mo in the eye.
Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, hitting the deck with a soft sound.
Sea Soul Master have an absolute advantage over land Soul Master in the ocean environment, and even have the ability to challenge those of higher levels.
However, he did not believe that Soul King with only two yellow and three purple rings, who had not even achieved the best Soul Ring ratio, was a match for Prince Lin, who already possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at the level of a seven-ring cultivator.
He didn't even dare to delve deeper into why Lin Mo was able to Frisk their pirate identities.
Since Lin Mo could Detect his disguise at a glance, his own underhanded methods were probably as laughable as children playing house in front of him.
Now, all he hopes is that after they deliver Lin Mo and the others to the vicinity of Sea God Island as promised, Lin Mo will keep his promise and let them leave.
His son is still on the ship; at his age, his son is his only hope.
Thinking of this, Haiwan lowered his voice, which was filled with pleading. " Prince Lin Highness, rest assured, I will do my best to ensure your safe arrival at Sea God Island."
There will be absolutely no negligence!
Seeing this, Lin Mo waved his hand, signaling Hai to step back.
Hai felt as if he had been granted a pardon, so he quickly bowed and stepped back, then hurriedly left the deck.
His back looked disheveled, like that of a dog.
After the tide receded, Lin Mo handed over the guard duty to Charizard.
Charizard seemed quite interested in this.
It let out a low growl, flapped its wings, and its massive body soared into the air.
The Charizard circled once in the air before hovering above the Sea Demon Ship, warily observing the surrounding sea.
Upon seeing the Charizard, Shui Yue'er became bolder.
She swam happily in the sea, even waving at the Charizard.
The Charizard glanced down at her, Spit Up a puff of white smoke from its nostrils, and ignored her.
Before long, guided by Shui Yue'er, the ocean guide, the Charizard seemed to have discovered something.
It let out a low growl, folded its wings, and its massive body swooped straight down towards the sea.
"Boom!"
A huge splash of water erupted, and the Charizard was completely submerged in the sea.
Startled by the sudden commotion, Shui Yue'er quickly swam towards the direction where the Charizard had fallen.
Moments later, the sea suddenly exploded.
The Charizard burst out of the sea, spread its wings, and hovered in the air.
In its Dragon Claw, it was grasping a tuna-like Sea Soul Beast that was much larger than itself.
The Sea Soul Beast was entirely blue, over ten meters long, with wide-open eyes, and had completely lost its life.
The Charizard let out a low growl, as if showing off its spoils.
A bluefin tuna with ten thousand years of cultivation.
In Charizard's hands, they are no different from a weak infant.
Everyone on the ship was amazed by what they saw.
Huo Wu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Wow, a ten-thousand-year-old Sea Soul Beast, just like that, it was instantly killed?"
Although they knew the Charizard was very strong, they were still shocked to see it instantly kill a ten-thousand-year-old Sea Soul Beast.
The strength of a ten-thousand-year-old Sea Soul Beast in the sea is much greater than that of a land Soul Beast of the same level.
Seeing this, Hai dared not act recklessly any longer!
He stood at the edge of the deck, staring intently at the enormous dragon beast in the sky and the dead, millennia-old bluefin tuna in its claws.
No one on this ship knew better than him, a fifth-ring Sea Soul Master, the terror of the ten-thousand-year-old bluefin tuna in the ocean.
While bluefin tuna may not be the most powerful predators, their incredible speed and agility make them virtually invincible in this coastal waters.
Yet this Sea Soul Beast, with its ten thousand years of cultivation, was instantly killed by that dragon.
The dragon went into the water and came out in just a few breaths.
Hai subconsciously touched his neck; his throat was dry.
As a Five-Ring Soul King, I'm afraid I wouldn't even last a single move against that dragon.
His last shred of hope vanished.
The Charizard circled once in the air before landing on the deck.
It tossed the bluefin tuna onto the deck, its massive body slamming into it with a jolt.
The Charizard growled at Lin Mo, its tail swaying slightly, as if it were asking for praise.
Lin Mo chuckled and patted its head. "You did something wrong."
Charizard squinted its eyes in satisfaction and nuzzled Lin Mo's hand with its head.
Shui Yue'er climbed out of the sea, soaking wet, but her face was full of excitement. She ran to the bluefin tuna, circled it a few times, and her eyes sparkled.
" Lin Mo, this fish is so big, it should be enough for us to eat for several days, right?"
Lin Mo chuckled and shook his head. "The meat of a ten-thousand-year-old Sea Soul Beast is indeed very nutritious, but there are eight of us, plus the Charizard, who has a huge appetite. This one fish won't last us more than a few days."
"That's alright, we can just let Charizard catch it again after it finishes eating."
Huo Wu stepped forward and examined the fish. "This fish looks pretty good. I'll cook it for you guys tonight and show off my skills."
