Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 697 The Southernmost Point of the Continent, the Coast of the South China Sea

Spanning the entire continent from north to south, the journey was long, but with Jiang Ming activating his Wind and Thunder Wings and occasionally using spatial teleportation to travel, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan still managed to travel from the far north of the Heavenly Soul Empire to the southernmost coast of the Star Luo Empire in less than a day.

They set off from the far north in the morning, and it's not completely dark yet.

As they descended from the clouds, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan were both stunned by the sight before them.

What appeared before them was a golden world.

At the horizon, countless glittering golden rays shine, the most beautiful sight the setting sun brings to the sea, or perhaps the best ending for the sun after a day's work.

The sunset over the sea, with the sun slowly disappearing into the golden light, is one of the most beautiful sights in the world.

"What a beauty"

Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes were already glazed over, and she unconsciously murmured softly.

"Yes, it's so beautiful!"

Jiang Ming couldn't help but say something too.

He had seen the wonders of the world in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and the Valley of Love and Destiny, and he had also witnessed the desolate scenery in the core area of ​​the far north and the Starry Sky Forest, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but admire it.

Between heaven and earth, the seasons turn, the sun and moon alternate, and beautiful scenery unfolds, leaving people in awe and wonder.

Suddenly, Jiang Ming seemed to have a deeper understanding of this world.

"Jiang Ming, let's go down. This should be the South China Sea coast of the Star Luo Empire."

Zhang Lexuan said softly.

"Ah."

Jiang Ming nodded. When they reached a certain altitude, he retracted his Wind and Thunder Wings, teleported, and silver light shone down. The two of them appeared directly on the ground.

The entire process was conducted without making any significant noise, demonstrating the ultimate control over one's own power.

Seeing that golden ocean from the ground is a different experience than seeing it from the sky.

The sea breeze blows from the distant sea, carrying a hint of saltiness, making the golden light on the sea surface shimmer and ripple in layers. The seawater rises and falls along the coast, crashes against the rocks at the cliff edge, and scatters into countless points of light in the last rays of the setting sun.

This scene is truly refreshing and gives one a sense of lightness and relaxation.

"Sister Lexuan, have you ever been to the beach?"

Jiang Ming held Zhang Lexuan's hand and strolled along the coastline. The sea breeze blew through their hair and clothes, creating a unique and beautiful scene.

Zhang Lexuan gazed at the golden ocean in the distance, which was gradually disappearing as the sun completely set, and gently shook her head.

"No, I've been in the academy since I was very young. Over the years, when I've been carrying out missions for the inspection team, I've mostly been operating inland. I've never been to such a remote place before."

In fact, for people on the Douluo Continent, whether ordinary people or Soul Masters, they rarely go to the remote border areas of the continent.

On the one hand, the journey is long, and ordinary people need to make a living and don't have that much free time. Even Soul Masters need to cultivate, study in Soul Master Academy, and improve their cultivation step by step, so they don't have much free time either.

On the other hand, the four border regions of the mainland are actually quite dangerous.

The far north is an endless land of bitter cold, the coast of the South China Sea is a land of surging waves, the west is an endless desert, and the east is a forest of jagged rocks.

These places are generally unsuitable for most people unless they are long-term locals.

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Then I'll take you to see more places on the mainland in the future, and we'll enjoy all the beautiful scenery on the mainland before going to the God Realm."

Zhang Lexuan turned her gaze away from the distant ocean and looked into Jiang Ming's eyes.

The golden ocean gradually faded into the west as the sun set, but in Jiang Ming's eyes, the golden light remained eternally unchanged.

"Ah."

She nodded and nestled in Jiang Ming's arms.

The two embraced, watching the distant sky gradually darken, watching the golden ocean be swallowed by darkness, watching the stars twinkle in the sky. This moment felt like forever.

After cuddling for a while, Jiang Ming released his arms from Zhang Lexuan's slender waist and asked softly, "Sister Lexuan, are you hungry?"

Actually, this question is a bit redundant. It's just that she didn't eat for a day, which doesn't really bother Zhang Lexuan, who is already a Super Douluo.

However, since Jiang Ming had asked this, Zhang Lexuan went along with it, patted her flat stomach with both hands, and said in a cute and innocent way, "I'm hungry."

Jiang Ming pinched Zhang Lexuan's cheek and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll go cook for you."

As he spoke, he glanced at the sea in front of him, which had been swallowed by darkness, and his eyes narrowed.

"I haven't tasted the freshest seafood from the seaside yet. Sister Lexuan, wait here for a while, I'll go catch a few fish."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ming saw Zhang Lexuan burst out laughing.

"Are you going fishing?"

Jiang Ming scratched his head somewhat awkwardly; indeed, his fishing was a bit...
"Ahem! Then let's skip fishing and just catch them."

He was quite aware of his own fishing skills, and if he insisted on fishing at this point, the two of them would probably only be able to drink the sea breeze tonight.

After weighing the two options, Jiang Ming decided to abandon the more refined hunting method of fishing and go for something more savage.

"Then go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Zhang Lexuan nodded. Speaking of fishing, Jiang Ming's luck was truly outrageously bad.

However, if we're talking about taking direct action, the strength of a Super Douluo is still quite useful.

Jiang Ming's figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot.

The next second, he appeared above the sea, his eyes glowing with golden light, and flames rising from his pupils.

The skill of having sharp eyes is being used to catch fish; that's really something.
Make the most of everything!

Jiang Ming's sharp eyes, like searchlights, pierced through the gradually churning waves of the sea, taking in the rich array of marine life.

"Traction!"

After finding the target, Jiang Ming made a grasping motion with his large hand towards the sea below. A powerful pulling force suddenly passed through the waves below and acted on the marine life hidden among the reefs and gravel.

The chosen marine creature tried to struggle, but in front of Jiang Ming, such struggle was undoubtedly meaningless.

In less than a second, its body was passively thrown out of the sea and caught in Jiang Ming's hand.

"This lobster is so big, it must be delicious."

Jiang Ming glanced at the dark blue lobster, which was over a meter long, in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

This creature's shell was so similar in color to the underwater reefs that it remained hidden among them. If he hadn't had such keen eyesight, he probably wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Jiang Ming put the seafood into his miniature world and continued his search.

Both he and Sister Lexuan were visiting the South China Sea for the first time, so naturally they wanted to try out a variety of different kinds of seafood.

Even if he can't finish eating, he still has his little world, so he doesn't have to worry at all and can catch as much as he can.

Jiang Ming thought for a moment, then directly opened the entrance to the small world and began absorbing the seawater below. While the small world contained lakes and glaciers, it lacked seawater, something he hadn't considered before. Now, he was taking this opportunity to fill that gap.

The ocean is so vast that even with Jiang Ming's current cultivation level, if he continuously opens his small world to flood it, he can't flood it much, and it won't affect the ocean's ecological environment.

Moreover, since Jiang Ming came to the deep sea specifically to collect seawater, there wouldn't be any ships at night, so everything went very smoothly.

However, the creatures that happened to pass through this area were unlucky.

A swordfish, a full five meters long, was chasing its prey when, just as it was about to bite, an irresistible attraction suddenly appeared from above.

Before it could even react, it was already passively leaping out of the water and entering an unfamiliar space.

There are many other bewildered sea spirit beasts like this swordfish; in the deep sea, sea spirit beasts make up a significant proportion of the population.

However, these sea spirit beasts possessed martial spirits that were hundreds or even thousands of years old, yet they still lacked any ability to resist.

As for the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast
Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts usually live in the deeper parts of the ocean and are also more intelligent. They will run away as soon as they sense something is wrong.

Jiang Ming's main target was not them, so he didn't pursue them.

After a short while, Jiang Ming estimated the time. It was unlikely that he could create a large ocean in the small world in a short time, and he couldn't keep Sister Le Xuan waiting for too long.

Jiang Ming put away the Book of Elves, closed the entrance to the small world, and flew towards the coast.

In the distance, several dominant-level soul beasts from the nearby sea breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Jiang Ming leave.

This human was so arrogant on their territory that they naturally had the idea of ​​killing him.

But as soon as they emerged from the sea, they sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the human.

then
I didn't dare to move.

While his pride as the overlord of the seas is important, it's not as important as his own life!

Having lived for tens of thousands of years and possessing intelligence, they can still distinguish between what is more important and what is less important.

When Jiang Ming returned from the deep sea, he saw several men approaching Zhang Lexuan from afar.

He frowned, stopped flying, and used spatial teleportation to directly arrive next to Zhang Lexuan.

"Holy crap! Who is this?"

Several men who approached were startled by Jiang Ming's sudden appearance. Jiang Ming looked at them, a hint of hostility in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

The men's clothing was very different from Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan's, bearing the distinct characteristics of residents of a coastal city, suggesting they were locals.

Zhang Lexuan reached out and took Jiang Ming's arm, whispering, "They're here to chat you up."

Zhang Lexuan's looks and figure are now among the best in mainland China; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a stunning beauty.

A beauty of this caliber is a shining jewel wherever she goes, automatically attracting attention.

Jiang Ming's face immediately darkened. He narrowed his eyes and walked step by step toward the men.

"Trying to pick someone up? You have some nerve!"

The men who came over to chat with Jiang Ming understood what was going on when they saw the interaction between Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan.

"Hey bro, are you this beautiful lady's boyfriend? Sorry, we just saw her standing here alone and thought she was single."

"Yes, yes, we misunderstood, we misunderstood."

The men could sense the powerful aura emanating from Jiang Ming, especially his sudden display of power. He was clearly a powerful Soul Master. They were just ordinary people, and if a fight broke out, they would only be able to take the beating.

"Yes, it's a misunderstanding. We only exchanged a couple of words and didn't have any physical contact at all. Really, you can ask this beautiful lady if you don't believe me!"

Seeing Jiang Ming still looking at them with a fierce expression, the local leader hurriedly spoke up.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan tugged at Jiang Yang's sleeve and said, "They only said a few words, don't take it to heart."

Hearing Zhang Lexuan say this, the murderous aura on Jiang Ming's face dissipated somewhat.

but
Jiang Ming glanced at the group of people, reached out and grabbed them, and they were bound by a powerful force before being thrown away.

Even on the beach, if you throw someone hundreds of meters away, it still hurts a lot when they fall.

Not fatal, not seriously injured, but they'll be in pain for at least ten days to half a month, to teach them a lesson.

They've tried to flirt with Sister Lexuan, and he's not going to be so magnanimous as to let them off the hook.

"Alright, calm down. What good stuff did you catch?"

Zhang Lexuan took Jiang Ming's hand and led him to an open space.

This is a great spot to stargaze and look out at the ocean waves.

With Zhang Lexuan's reassurance, Jiang Ming quickly forgot about what had just happened.

He took out his weapon, snapped his fingers, and a cluster of flames shot up from his fingertips before drifting to the ground.

Then, he took out the seafood he had just found in the deep sea.

A dark blue lobster over a meter long—this thing is almost the size of a soul beast.

But tonight is its life-or-death struggle!
Whether it's steamed or spicy determines the final flavor it will have.

In addition, there were arm-length conch shells, nearly two-meter-long unidentified sea fish, and sea cucumbers.

Jiang Ming also dug several oysters, each the size of an arm, off the rocks. These oysters were even bigger than Jiang Ming's face.

Highly nourishing!

Jiang Ming processed the seafood methodically. Although each seafood was quite large, it was just a drop in the ocean for a Super Douluo.

The digestive ability of a Super Douluo is no joke; it's close to digesting everything he eats.

At that moment, an orange-red light suddenly appeared in the ocean.

"Jiang Ming, look, what's that?"

Zhang Lexuan patted Jiang Ming on the shoulder and said in surprise.

Jiang Ming put down the oyster he had just opened and looked at the sea in front of him.

A fiery orange glow rose from the sea, illuminating the boundless ocean in the already darkened night.

Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed, and he used his eagle eyes once again, instantly bringing the distant scene closer.

When he saw the glowing sea in the distance, his lips twitched involuntarily, somewhat surprised.

"Why are they here?"
