Is That Your Mother?

No wonder he suddenly became so humble.

After reading the reasons for his choice, Lu Changzhi felt relieved.

It wasn't some kind of enlightenment at all; it was all part of a scheme.

Although Sea Race are not Human Race, Lu Changzhi had to admit that they shared a common way of addressing each other as parents.

His gaze shifted downwards, and Lu Changzhi began to examine the specific choices and rewards.

"Mother and baby toad soup?"

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but recall the sight of the poisonous blisters bursting on Jin Dashe's back, and his brows furrowed in distress.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi skipped over this first option.

They didn't even look at the reward.

Releasing a toad back home is no different from releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

The method used to ambush Huang Pi earlier, judging solely from its strength, was by no means weaker than that of the Saint King Realm.

Moreover, even if we send this Jin Dashe back, there's no guarantee it will only call its mother toad. What if it calls a whole bunch of them...?

Should we hide?

Looking at the second option, Lu Changzhi secretly shook his head.

He didn't come here to play; he came to solve a problem.

He's gone. If Jin Daji thinks he's all that again, he might cause some trouble.

In the blink of an eye, both options had been viewed.

Lu Changzhi glanced at the third option, a thought flickering in his mind.

"That's fine, but this last part..."

His gaze lingered briefly on the reward, then a flash of light appeared, and the introduction came on:

[Indistinguishable from the Real Jin Dashe]: A system-generated product. Utilizing the body of Jin Dashe, it retains his original essence. Users can enter and control it with their thoughts, and it retains his memories which can be viewed. The creation process involves only a brief moment of soul disappearance...

"Is this how you turn into a toad?"

Lu Changzhi said softly, pondering for a moment.

Now, he does indeed need an identity as a member of the Sea Race so that he can bring the Black Tortoise Egg to the Sea Race to nurture it.

The power of water is indeed much more abundant in the sea than in the outside world. Although this place cannot compare with where Black Tortoise is now, there may be even better conditions in the core of the Sea Race.

With this thought in mind, Lu Changzhi made up his mind.

He then turned his attention back to Jin Dashe.

Jin Dashe was barely suppressing his impatience, waiting for Lu Changzhi's response.

This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. The last time he was in danger, he did the same thing, lowering his stance to get the other party to spare him, only to be turned into human bone soup by him afterwards.

But this time, the person in front of me seems a little different from the last one.

Just as Jin Dashe and the others were getting impatient, Lu Changzhi nodded slightly and then said:

"Alright, you can work for me."

Lu Changzhi's words brought Jin Daji back to his senses, and a flash of excitement crossed his toad-like eyes.

"But..."

Lu Changzhi suddenly changed the subject, paused slightly, and looked behind him:

Is that your mother?

Jin Daji subconsciously turned around to look.

At the same time, the Dao-Severing Sword flashed into Lu Changzhi's hand.

"Go."

With power channeled into it, the sword light shot straight towards Jin Daji from the seawater.

Jin Dashe's body stiffened abruptly, but before he could react, a powerful aura suddenly pressed down, like a towering mountain pressing down, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

Laugh.

A soft sound was heard.

The Dao-Severing Sword Insight penetrated Jin Dashe's body.

Jin Dashe's toad-like eyes trembled violently. His mouth moved as if he wanted to croak, but in the end he had no strength left, and even his tongue drooped weakly.

Seeing this, Huang Pi breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, at least this toad won't steal my thunder.

Brush.

A beam of light shot out from Lu Changzhi's body, enveloping Jin Dashe at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, they both disappeared from the spot.

"Alright."

Lu Changzhi clapped his hands and sheathed the Dao-Severing Sword.

Although I didn't get to eat the Sea Immortal, at least it's useful, so the trip wasn't a complete waste.

Huang Pi also came to his senses, looked around, and then gently shook his head:

"I never expected it to turn out like this."

Not only did he fail to defeat this mere sea monster, but he also suffered a loss at its hands, and his backside is still throbbing.

That's alright; after all, minor skirmishes are unavoidable in battle.

But why is this toad so brittle, like paper, in front of Lu Yuan's son?

This back-and-forth makes me seem far too weak.

Having lived all these years, and in battle, I still haven't been able to easily defeat a child... It's simply...

"Go pack up all that seafood downstairs, we're going home."

After giving the order, Lu Changzhi went elsewhere.

With a thought, Jin Dashe's body reappeared in the water.

"This system is really efficient."

Lu Changzhi uttered a soft exclamation of praise.

At this moment, the wounds caused by the Dao-Severing Sword on Jin Dashe's body had completely disappeared.

It lay prone in front of you with its eyes closed, giving the impression of being asleep, as if it might wake up at any moment, rather than being an inanimate object.

With a thought, Lu Changzhi separated a wisp of his mind and entered it.

Historically, people have controlled External Avatar, but these External Avatar ultimately resemble their own appearance. In comparison, controlling a toad seems much more novel.

After trying it out, Jin Dashe's eyes reopened.

Lu Changzhi to sense his surroundings using the Jin Dashe as the center, and after a moment, he thought to himself, "Interesting."

The differences between species mean that the world they see is almost entirely different.

Especially in matters related to strength.

For the vast majority of human cultivators, the power of water requires focused perception in order to discover and utilize it.

However, from Jin Dashe's perspective, the situation is entirely different: he is easy to perceive, readily usable, and possesses unparalleled affability.

No wonder.

Lu Changzhi understood why Jin Daji had been so obedient before.

Being too adept at using the power of water, or rather, relying too heavily on it, leaves one in an awkward situation where there is little water available to draw upon once that power is no longer available.

"Young Master Lu, everything is packed."

Huang Pi spoke up, carrying a large net on his back, with big loaches and large turtle shells all on his back.

Lu Changzhi nodded, withdrawing his attention from Jin Daji, and said:

"Let's go back."

Now, people in Mountain and Sea Village have the opportunity to get up close to their Sea Immortal.

If possible, it is also possible to achieve a level of contact between lips and teeth.

As for the body of the Jin Dashe, Lu Changzhi did not retrieve it as well. Instead, he left a wisp of his consciousness in the water to adapt to the sensations that were quite different from the void outside, as well as the relatively unique way of movement of the one-legged toad.

Although turning into a toad doesn't sound like much, the unique experience it brings still amazes Lu Changzhi.
