Chapter 283 - 283 : Shuiyueer’s fifth soul skill: Come back, tide!

[Ding~ Fishing yields a white banana sea bass, spirit ring lifespan +100 years]

[Ding~ Fishing yields a rare fish, the Dragon Tiger Grouper, all spirit ring lifespans +200 years.]

[Ding, fishing yields a blue marlin, all spirit rings and Spirit Bone lifespans +100 years.]

[...]

Amidst the vast ocean, the Peach Garden cut through the waves.

Sunlight reflected, slightly blue, casting upon the young man's handsome face.

But the sea area was dark; as the saying goes, clear water is shallow, green water is deep, black water is an abyss, and yellow water is turbulent. This indicated that this sea area was extremely profound.

Su Ran half-reclined on the top of the cabin, glanced down at the deck, and saw that the fish pond in the center of the deck mostly contained ordinary catches. He sighed helplessly.

Fishing, this skill, not only depends on technique but also on luck. Moreover, Su Ran's fishing technique was recently learned, and he was still sailing, so it was already good to catch any fish.

Just then, the float in the sea suddenly sank.

The usually calm and composed Taoyuan Teacher, Su Ran, instantly straightened his upper body, gripping the fishing rod tightly, and found it was surprisingly heavy!

Su Ran's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face. For him, at his Realm, to feel it heavy, it must be a big one!

[...]

"This Taoyuan Teacher is truly a strange person. Not only do his students say he has a bad temper, but his actions are also so eccentric. He actually sits on the upper deck cabin fishing every day."

"To be received by the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, this Taoyuan Teacher's status must be high, and he's not a seafarer, yet he has such a hobby."

"Perhaps it's precisely because he's not a seafarer that he enjoys fishing. We native seafarers all dive directly to salvage goods."

"However, this Taoyuan Teacher's fishing technique is quite good. In these two days, he's already caught more than twenty fish, hasn't he? Although there's nothing rare, it's still pretty good."

"Ni'er, shush, let's talk less idle gossip. This Taoyuan Teacher sounds like he's not to be trifled with. If he overhears our discussions, we won't fare well. Let's just focus on completing our mission and earning the money first."

"Mm-hmm, our two sisters together earn two hundred gold coins a day. A round trip will take about twenty days, so that's four thousand gold coins, plus a two thousand gold coin bonus, for a total of six thousand gold coins. After this trip, Mother and Father won't have to toil at sea anymore. We can treat Father's back pain, buy Mother a shimmering pleated skirt, and we can even buy a good fishing boat..."

Mani, the younger sister, was already envisioning life after receiving this voyage's reward.

But just then, a sudden roar came from the side of the cockpit, kicking up intense waves. A deep-sea giant squid, black and blue all over, tumbled in the waves. The moment it surfaced, its eight tough tentacles stirred the ocean current, forming a huge swirling water pillar that held the Peach Garden yacht for a moment.

"Sis... Sister... It's a Kraken King!"

"That Taoyuan Teacher, he caught a deep-sea Kraken King!"

"Stop advancing!"

Inside the cockpit, Mani looked at the struggling Kraken King outside, completely stunned.

It was her first time seeing someone fish up a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast. This wasn't luck, but disaster!

A ten-thousand-year cultivation Sea Spirit Beast, without a powerful Spirit Master to escort it, would be enough to sink most ships in the ocean!

"It's a twenty to thirty-thousand-year-old deep-sea giant black squid. What strong swirling suction, quite interesting."

"Yue'er! Yue'er!"

Su Ran exerted force from the top deck, and the entire Peach Garden ship began to tilt, showing signs of capsizing. Su Ran could only use his spirit power to borrow strength and called out Shui Yueer's name twice.

Shui Yueer was also attracted by the commotion and quickly ran out. Her expression changed when she saw the giant black squid:

"Teacher, why did you call me? I can't pull a twenty to thirty-thousand-year-old Kraken King!"

"I can suck on Teacher, but I can't have such powerful suction like it!"

"Teacher, such a big Kraken King, even if you catch it, the ship can't keep it, right?"

Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, and the others were also alarmed at this time and spoke up.

"Yue'er, how many years is your fourth spirit ring?"

"Replying to Teacher, ten thousand years. It was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring that I barely absorbed after Body Refining with a medicinal bath at the academy."

"Then this Kraken King is quite suitable to be your fifth spirit ring. Your Dolphin Water Spirit's early-stage Spirit Abilities have low destructive power. If you gain the destructive power bonus from this Kraken King, your pressure resistance ability will be greatly improved."

On top of the deck, a figure emerged, holding a fishing rod. He tightened and loosened it, playing with the squid until the Kraken King was somewhat exhausted and floated to the surface. Only then did Su Ran speak to Shui Yueer and the others:

"Do you want this spirit ring? If you do, then act!"

"I want it! Teacher, I want it!"

Shui Yueer said excitedly, with four spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, and black, appearing under her feet, as the Jade Dolphin possessed her.

Among her four Spirit Abilities, the first two were enhancement and displacement/swimming types. The third Spirit Ability was Dolphin Water Ball, where she transformed into a dolphin and descended from the sky, smashing down a damaging water ball. Although it had some power, the damage was not high; it was more for cover, so her Spirit Abilities were not outstanding in the previous Soul Master Competition.

After joining Peach Garden Academy, Su Ran planned her fourth ten-thousand-year Spirit Ability, which was a water vortex skill. It could be used in conjunction with the third Spirit Ability, forming a water vortex with decent control and damage. Moreover, the remaining Dolphin Water Ball position from the third Spirit Ability could additionally form another water vortex.

For this fifth Spirit Ability, a more powerful destructive skill was naturally considered.

"Ice Seal!"

"Fourth Spirit Ability, Frigid Ice Cone!"

At the same time, Shui Bing'er also manifested five spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black, under her feet, quickly activating two Spirit Abilities.

The seawater around the deep-sea Kraken King was frozen, and the Kraken King's body also stiffened. A chilling ice cone was spat out from the mouth of her Spirit Ice Phoenix, directly piercing into the Kraken King's body. Instantly, a black ink and a faint smell of blood spread out.

Yue'er's offensive power in the early stage was indeed not strong; as her older sister, she should help.

"Sister, thank you. The rest is up to me. Teacher taught that what you do yourself is the best!"

Shui Yueer actually leaped down from the deck of the Peach Garden yacht. Her entire being truly resembled a dolphin in the sea, her graceful body moving through the ocean. Using her sister's frozen platform, she leaped up, her two enhancement spirit rings flickering, and water surging between her hands, she let out a delicate shout:

"Flowing Water Rock Shatter!"

"Flowing Water Rock Shatter!"

Her fist slammed into the Kraken King's forehead, creating a bloody pit.

However, her Flowing Water Rock Shatter punch had not reached Major Achievement; its destructive power was not enough to kill it in one punch, so she had to throw multiple punches.

Soon, the Ice Seal around the Kraken King shattered and broke. The pain on its body enraged the Kraken King. Its eight huge tentacles slapped the water surface, raising water waves tens of meters high, sweeping towards Shui Yueer.

"Not good."

This scene caused worry among students like Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan.

But seeing that Teacher was still holding the fishing rod and showed no signs of intervening, they could only pray in their hearts.

"Senior Brother Wang Sheng's Profound Truth, thorough mastery, if power isn't enough, make up for it with frequency!"

"One hundred punches per second!"

Rumble!

A violent sound echoed within the ocean's vortex.

When the vortex gradually subsided, a dark spirit ring appeared in the sea.

Su Ran suddenly pulled on his hand, and the Kraken King's corpse crashed onto the deck of the Peach Garden yacht, its thick ink staining the deck black.

Shui Bing'er, Qiu Ruoshui, and other students quickly went forward to check the situation.

A quarter of an hour later, a Spirit Master with five flickering spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, and black—emerged. She was covered in black, and her fifth spirit ring flashed as she uttered:

"Sister, step aside."

"Fifth Spirit Ability, Return, Tide!"

Boom!

A dolphin water ring with a diameter of two meters formed in front of Shui Yueer, and a terrifying jet of water surged out from it, directly piercing through the Kraken King's corpse!
