"Is this me?"
The island owner Bai Ya, touched her face, looked in the mirror, and stared in disbelief.
Keep in mind, she is over seventy years old, a real old woman, her youth long gone.
But now—she looks like she's back in her forties.
Because the island's owner Bai Ya, was a beauty in her youth, she still looks as beautiful as those well-maintained celebrities in their forties.
"My God." Yu Wan was shocked. Was this really the island owner's mother-in-law? She even looked younger than her own mother.
"The skin has improved a lot, but the vitality hasn't changed—" Bai Ya sensed it.
"That's fantastic!" Yu Wan. "The effect is amazing!"
"Yes." Island owner Bai Ya's heart was also churning. At first, she didn't really care. After all, she was already this old and had long lost the desire to pursue beauty. However, when her appearance really reversed, she didn't want to turn back into that old woman!
Her hands trembled slightly as she looked at herself in the mirror, now much more beautiful, as if she had returned to the past.
"Is there any difference?" Only the Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile, oblivious to the situation, asked. In its eyes, there was no difference.
"Please, Luo Yu, please." At this moment, Shui Wuyue was practically kneeling beside Luo Yu, simply because he had been blind to the truth earlier. This thing—he needed it, he desperately needed it.
Not only does he need to give it to Yu Wan's future aunt, but he also needs it to make himself look younger and more handsome.
He admitted that he is now a weathered middle-aged man who is almost old—and he is indeed not handsome.
"No problem." Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was just a simple beauty filter and didn't change anything else, the effects of this cucumber were indeed amazing.
"What's the yield of this stuff?" Bai Ya asked Luo Yu.
Luo Yu pondered, "Cultivating them is difficult, and the yield is low. I'll try to cultivate as many as possible when I get back."
"Okay!" Bai Ya nodded, then looked at the guardian deity.
"Rest assured, Guardian Deity, I will ensure Luo Yu's safe arrival at Dragon Boat Island and then escort him back to Mirror Moon Island!"
This research—in her view, it was also incredibly groundbreaking, almost rivaling the evolution method of the Water Devil Beast! And the person in charge of this research absolutely could not afford to get into trouble.
She remembered that there was another research institute on the island, which, under the guise of researching immortality, was actually researching anti-aging beauty products. Compared to Luo Yu's research, it was nothing at all. Yu Lei had to cut research funding and use the money in truly useful areas.
The next morning, Luo Yu and the others prepared to set off. Knowing that the ghost ship was incredibly fast, Shi Qianqian and her daughter had already gone ahead.
On the Raging Blue, the island lord, Shui Wuyue, Luo Yu, Yu Wan were the only people on this trip.
Next, in order to reach Dragon Boat Island as quickly as possible, Shui Wuyue truly demonstrated what "ghost speed" meant. The Raging Blue Raging Blue like a completely different ship, as if he wanted to activate its performance to 200%.
"You're insane, Shui Wuyue."
The Bai Ya Island Master was shocked: You don't even want this ship anymore?
A ship sails on the sea, leaving only afterimages in its wake.
At that speed, the zombie sea monsters wouldn't even have time to react before the ship disappeared from sight.
"Gurgle!"
July was also shocked, holding the fishing rod helplessly, wondering why the boat was going faster and faster each time.
It hates riding in ghost ships.
It held the Ink Fish on its head, afraid that the boat's speed would blow Ink Fish away.
"Uncle, I know you're anxious, but don't rush, let's try another route." As the ghost ship Gale, Yu Wan stood on the deck, gently pinching her nose.
"What's wrong."
Shui Wuyue could pretend he hadn't heard Bai Ya's words and July's feedback, but he couldn't pretend he hadn't heard Yu Wan's words.
"I smell Rainstorm. If we continue on this route, it won't be long before we enter the Rainstorm. At this speed, colliding with Rainstorm would be dangerous."
"Okay, we'll change direction and take a detour." At sea, you can ignore what others say, but you must listen to the navigator.
Luo Yu stood next to Yu Wan, quite surprised. "The boat is going so fast, how could you tell there was Rainstorm ahead?"
"And—that's without using divination!"
Yu Wan pouted, "I'm not just good at divination. With the help of superpowers to enhance my five senses, I can also sense changes in the weather with my body."
"Whee."
She suddenly smiled happily and said, "Once I form a contract with a spirit-type Water Devil Beast, my superpowers will definitely become even stronger. At that time, you can rest assured. When you go out to sea, I, your teacher, will be your navigator, and I guarantee you won't encounter any danger!"
Sometimes, natural disasters and severe weather are also major enemies of ships.
Because natural energy has become more concentrated, the power and intensity of natural disasters have also been greatly amplified. Sometimes, navigators would rather encounter zombie hordes or mutated monsters than typhoons, dense fog, thunderstorms, or abnormal ocean currents.
And these are just some of the more common situations; there are many more—dangers arising from naturally occurring creatures are even more difficult to deal with.
Fixed, dangerous sea areas like the "Sea of Eternal Day" are manageable, but some natural disaster creatures are constantly moving.
This means that as long as you enter their activity path, even if these natural disaster creatures do not intend to attack or show any hostility, their mere existence is enough to affect nature and create even more terrible natural disasters.
The Mirage of the Sea, the Whispering Tide, the Void Turbulence, the Death Vortex—none of these are easy for an ordinary fleet to traverse.
Despite the wear and tear on the Raging Blue, Luo Yu and his companions felt as if they had only just set off before arriving at Dragon Boat Island.
From a distance, the island appears quite regular, lying horizontally on the sea, and its outline even somewhat resembles a giant dragon boat, with sharp rocks forming the dragon's head and continuous mountain ranges resembling the hull.
"We've arrived! So fast." Island Master Bai Ya stood on the deck and said, "Xiao Wan, once we get to Dragon Boat Island, let's take some time to buy some new clothes."
"Okay." Yu Wan smiled, feeling that the island owner's mentality was getting younger and younger.
Soon, the Raging Blue entered the harbor channel, passed through the calm inner bay, and arrived at the pier that stretched along the beach. Under the guidance of the staff who rode flying pets in the sky, it docked at a certain spot.
Next, Yu Wan was in charge of handling the boarding procedures, while Luo Yu and the others packed their belongings and prepared to disembark.
"Hmm..." July reluctantly let go; the boat finally slowed down, but it seemed there was no time left for fishing.
"Let's go, we can fish anytime. This island has unique creatures, Kung Fu Seal. You've never fished for seals before, have you? Let's go take a look." Luo Yu recalled July.
"Hehe, look, that mother and daughter from the Azure Billows Continent set off two days earlier, and they're still not as early as us." Shui Wuyue chuckled as he glanced at the ships in the port.
However, the island owner Bai Ya, fell into deep thought regarding his wasteful behavior that disregarded the ship's condition.
"Shui Wuyue."
"You haven't sailed like this before, have you? I remember you applied for several ship repair claims before, saying they were worn out in battle. You weren't lying, were you?"
Shui Wuyue's heart tightened, and she said, "Island Master, you are wise. This time, I had no choice but to speed things up because I knew that Vice Island Master Luo Yu's time was precious. Normally, I wouldn't be this fast."
Hopefully so----
After arriving on the island, the group did not immediately go to the "Blue Sky Shipyard" that Shui Wuyue frequented, but instead found a hotel to settle in first.
There are dozens of shipyards and ship repair shops of all sizes on Dragon Boat Island, but the most famous one is Dragon Pearl Shipbuilding Company. Of course, the most famous also means the most expensive.
Shui Wuyue, being a poor man, certainly wouldn't go there. After considering the reputation and prices of dozens of shipyards and repair shops, he finally chose "Blue Sky Shipyard" to build the Raging Blue for him.
"Blue Sky Shipyard | It is a long-established brand on Dragon Boat Island Dragon Boat Island. Although it is not large in scale, it is highly regarded and is the first choice for navigators who seek cost-effectiveness."
"Is this the Kung Fu Seal?"
When Luo Yu and his group were checking into the hotel, they encountered the first Kung Fu Seal they saw after landing on the island. The seal was standing like a human, dressed in a white martial arts uniform, and was accompanied by a Beast Taming!
After evolving, the Kung Fu Seal has become a humanoid mutant beast, with hands and feet but still retaining the roundness and white fur of a seal, resembling a marine warrior with extraordinary bearing.
[Race]: Kung Fu Seal [Attribute]: Water
[Racial Rank]: Upper-Tier Common Species [Health Level]: 29 [Racial Ability]: Martial Arts - Sudden Rain Fist [Individual Talent]: Wind Element Affinity (Senior Level talent, possessing the aptitude to comprehend and master wind-based abilities.)
Just as Luo Yu knew, the Kung Fu Seal' superpowers were also random, and each Kung Fu Seal awakened different superpowers and martial arts skills.
This one— Sudden Rain Fist? It looks like a water-attribute fist technique, the kind with a very fast attack rhythm and high density.
With his talent, he might be able to develop it into a powerful, Sudden Rain Fist.
Although each Kung Fu Seal awakens a different superpower, they can also learn martial arts techniques from other seals, and can exchange and learn from each other. Of course, it is easier to develop and use the martial arts techniques they awaken themselves.
"Welcome." At the same time, the receptionist had already checked Luo Yu and his group in and started making recommendations.
"Our hotel has a dedicated fighting arena where Kung Fu Seal occasionally spar and perform. If you're interested, you can go there for afternoon tea."
Of the four, only Luo Yu was interested in the mutated beast, the Kung Fu Seal. The other three, having endured the arduous journey, went to their respective rooms to rest.
As for Luo Yu, he went to the hotel's fighting arena recommended by the front desk. Sure enough, there were many people drinking coffee and eating desserts under umbrellas. In the center was a huge stone arena where two kung fu Kung Fu Seal dressed in martial arts uniforms were fiercely sparring. It has to be said that the fight was quite a spectacle.
Its sex drive is indeed far superior to that of other mutated sea monsters.
Luo Yu glanced at it.
[Racial Ability]: Martial Arts - Whale Surge Wave-Treading Steps [Individual Talent]: Agility [Racial Ability]: Martial Arts - Ice Palm [Individual Talent]: Strongman leg techniques or agility, and perhaps palm techniques?
"Unfortunately, their talents are all rather ordinary. Although they are a good match, they are clearly not the best. Individuals who master different martial arts but can still learn from each other would obviously be better suited with a talent like ' Heaven Rewards Diligence Diligence' and 'Comprehension'—" Luo Yu was tempted. He wanted to create one and then materialize all the fighting techniques from movies and anime he had seen in his previous life onto it. Martial arts techniques that required weapons were fine too, since he had the Water Devil Beast to transform into—
