Through the suddenly turbulent water current, Su Chen sensed something was launching a sneak attack on him.
Underwater, and at such a fast speed, there was no need to say what it was.
In that instant, the Life Destruction Spear in Su Chen’s hand traced a circular arc.
The seawater around the spear tip did not offer the slightest resistance; instead, it seemed to give it a push, further increasing the speed of the Life Destruction Spear.
Su Chen clearly felt the spear tip collide with a hard object, and only then did he see what was sneaking up on him.
It was a peculiar Sea Soul Beast with a sharp horn, fully two meters long, atop its head.
What had collided with the Life Destruction Spear was precisely the sharp horn of this Sea Soul Beast.
Su Chen’s palms tingled slightly; this Sea Soul Beast was very strong and its swimming speed was exceptionally fast.
If it weren’t for the fact that Su Chen’s perception had increased significantly after receiving the blessing of the Goddess of Life, he truly wouldn’t have detected its sneak attack just now.
Of course, if he hadn’t received the blessing of the Goddess of Life, he wouldn’t have entered the sea either.
Su Chen was slightly puzzled.
Even if he entered the sea, it would definitely be in the shallow waters, close to the shore.
Near Zanghai Village, Sea Soul Beasts hadn’t appeared for many years.
How did he happen to run into one?
Through the faint sunlight piercing through the seawater, Su Chen saw the reddened eyes of the Sea Soul Beast that had sneaked up on him, revealing a covetous intent.
Alright then, Su Chen understood.
It seemed that some kind of scent radiating from his body made this Sea Soul Beast feel like a demon encountering Tang Seng, wanting to take a bite of his flesh.
“Heh, want to eat me?
I just happen to have not eaten breakfast yet.”
Su Chen had never eaten the meat of a Sea Soul Beast before.
After engaging in intense activity all night, Su Chen was still full of energy, but his stomach was indeed a bit hungry.
Since this Sea Soul Beast had delivered itself to his doorstep, Su Chen would by no means let it go.
From the clash just now, Su Chen felt that although this Spirit Beast was fast and very powerful in the sea, he felt quite confident in his chances.
What he was worried about now was that if he failed to land a hit, this Sea Soul Beast might realize the situation was bad and potentially run away.
Clang~
The Life Destruction Spear collided once more with the sharp horn of the Sea Soul Beast as it turned and charged back.
In fact, this time Su Chen had enough spare energy to inflict some injuries on it while neutralizing its forward charge.
But if he did that, this Sea Soul Beast would most likely flee.
Su Chen feigned difficult resistance, blocking each time more precariously than the last.
Finally, the Sea Soul Beast felt the timing was right.
It suddenly retreated a distance, whipped its large tail violently, and charged toward Su Chen at a speed far exceeding before.
“This is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for.”
Su Chen gripped the Life Destruction Spear tightly, and the seawater near the spear tip began to tremble slightly.
Just as the Sea Soul Beast approached, a vortex condensed in front of its sharp horn.
If Su Chen still wanted to respond as before, using the spear tip to push aside its horn to neutralize the attack, and without any spare energy, he would definitely be in big trouble.
Although this vortex was not large and its attack power didn’t look very strong, it would certainly be able to obstruct or even change the direction of his spear tip.
This Sea Soul Beast had actually been hiding a trump card all along, only using it now, demonstrating a certain degree of intelligence.
That made sense.
Even wild beasts used certain tactics when hunting, let alone Spirit Beasts.
But this time, Su Chen didn’t intend to repeat his old tricks.
With a flick of the spear tip, Su Chen’s body was like a taut bow ready to be released.
Whoosh!
The Life Destruction Spear thrust out violently, the water current in front of the spear tip swirling and rippling outwards; where the spear tip passed, it actually formed a brief waterless channel.
Pop.
The Life Destruction Spear’s tip glowed with a red light, and the trump card this Sea Soul Beast had hidden—that rapidly rotating water vortex—was shattered in the blink of an eye.
Immediately following that, with a crack, the Sea Soul Beast’s hard single horn also snapped into two pieces.
The Life Destruction Spear pierced forward without any resistance, stabbing straight into the Sea Soul Beast’s forehead, and the Soul Power condensed at the spear tip suddenly erupted, releasing within the Sea Soul Beast’s mind.
Afterward, Su Chen was carried backward for a distance by the immense inertia.
After all, this was underwater; it was difficult to find leverage, and the mud on the seabed was too soft.
But this was also fine.
Utilizing the impact of this Sea Soul Beast before it died, Su Chen returned to the shore even faster.
“Heave, ho!”
Su Chen exerted his strength to drag the Sea Soul Beast out of the water and onto the beach.
Goodness.
It hadn’t been very clear underwater, but after getting on land, Su Chen finally realized just how big this Sea Soul Beast was.
Excluding its long, sharp horn, its body was at least five meters long.
It certainly couldn’t compare to some deep-sea overlords, but swallowing Su Chen in one gulp would be absolutely effortless.
Although this Sea Soul Beast had a slender build, its density was very high; it certainly weighed over a thousand jin, and the meat must be very firm.
If Su Chen hadn’t received the blessing of the Goddess of Life, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to drag it up.
He could now say: “I possess innate Divine Power.”
Although this innate Divine Power of his was actually Acquired.
“Your adaptability is not bad.
Although this Sea Soul Beast is only over two hundred years old, underwater, it is even more troublesome than a five or six-hundred-year-old Spirit Beast on land.”
The voice of the God of Destruction rang out.
“Senior God of Destruction, you’re still here?
I thought you had left long ago.”
Su Chen had practiced his spear techniques all night; he hadn’t expected the God of Destruction to still be watching him.
Su Chen couldn’t help but smile.
He had long noticed the pale yellow spirit ring appearing on the Spirit Beast; if his Soul Power were level ten, he could absorb the spirit ring now.
Of course, he certainly wouldn’t be so rash as to absorb this Sea Soul Beast’s spirit ring as his first spirit ring.
He hadn’t even absorbed his first spirit ring yet, and he was already able to hunt a century-old Spirit Beast, and in the sea at that.
This strength should be stronger than Gangzi’s, right?
That Master faced a century-old Datura Snake and was beaten like a dog; if it weren’t for Tang San, he would have even lost his life.
Although that Datura Snake was four hundred years old, Yu Xiaogang wasn’t fighting in the sea, was he?
Pfft!
Why compare himself to a farting waste who hadn’t even reached level thirty by the age of fifty?
“I’ve gone ahead and modified your pendant; it can now be used for storage.
You can explore it yourself.
Your physique has improved significantly; don’t neglect your Cultivation.”
After giving a few instructions, the God of Destruction, who had silently guarded Su Chen all night, finally went offline.
“Hey~”
The God of Destruction went offline too quickly, not even leaving Su Chen time to say thank you.
He had just been wondering how to bring this Sea Soul Beast back, and it turned out the God of Destruction had brought him good news.
A storage spirit tool, given the current level of spirit tools, was not cheap.
Not to mention that his pendant had been modified by the God of Destruction; it was definitely not an ordinary spirit tool.
Su Chen injected a bit of Soul Power into the pendant and immediately figured out how to use it.
“Whoa, this space is really not small.”
The pendant was only the size of a little finger, but the space inside was huge.
Truly worthy of being my bro, Destruction; he’s generous when he acts.
Su Chen estimated that it had at least one million cubic meters, and likely more; it could easily fit several basketball courts, let alone this Sea Soul Beast.
“Go.”
Su Chen patted the Sea Soul Beast, and it instantly disappeared from where it was.
Taking a look into the pendant’s space, the Sea Soul Beast was lying in a corner, very conspicuous in the empty space of the pendant.
