Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 304 Underwater Giant Shadow
Mu Ningxue has gotten used to it, and Jiang Shaoxu also knows his limits. With Jiang Shaoxu joining the Lin Chen family, it won't be too boring anymore!

A few more days passed, and Lin Chen's life was happy. Lin Chen underestimated Jiang Shaoxu. Ever since he and Jiang Shaoxu took that step, Jiang Shaoxu handled the relationship between her and Mu Ningxue just right. As expected of a mage majoring in spiritualism, she not only understood Mu Ningxue's character clearly, but also knew how to prescribe the right medicine. The two girls were now as close as real sisters.

Naturally, Lin Chen would not be stingy about this and rewarded Jiang Shaoxu generously. In a few days, not only did Jiang Shaoxu's soul power level improve by leaps and bounds, but even her physical fitness also improved significantly.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen's dream of sleeping with the two girls has never been realized. The two girls have long been aware of Lin Chen's character, but they just wouldn't let him succeed. This can be considered as a special control over Lin Chen.

Compared to Lin Chen, the lives of the Guofu team members were much more boring. Although the sea view was beautiful, it was boring after seeing it for a long time. What's more, in recent days, everyone was always in the vast ocean.

In the first few days, some people played cards, talked and laughed, but as time went on, everyone had nothing to do except practice.

On this day, everyone was practicing, when suddenly a scream was heard outside the cabin.

"Oh my god, what's that down there!"

This sound woke everyone up, and they all stood at the railing, only to find a huge black shadow under the water, like a black hole abyss that could suck the entire magic ship in at any time!
Cold sweat dripped down the neck. Even though the thing below didn't emit any breath at all, it brought huge pressure to everyone on the boat, as if their lives had been controlled by the monster below!

No one spoke, their eyes widened, and their bodies became even more rigid.

They didn't dare to see what was under the water, fearing that they would be greeted by a huge mouth that would swallow them directly, or a giant claw that would stir up the waves and smash the cruise ship to pieces. This was not an unfounded fantasy, they firmly believed that the underwater creatures could definitely do it.

Even Lin Chen felt the other party's terror, but Lin Chen knew the identity of this big guy and he had no ill intentions!

Lin Chen jumped up and hovered in the air. Seeing Ba Xia's figure for the first time, Lin Chen felt a little excited. However, Ba Xia underwater was extremely huge, and with the sea water covering it, it was impossible to see how big Ba Xia was.

At this moment, the underwater shadow began to fade, and the fear that shrouded everyone was slowly easing.

After an unknown amount of time, the water finally returned to its original clarity. At a glance, the water was also that deep blue.

On the magic ship, everyone looked exhausted, and Jiang Yu collapsed directly on the deck!
"Brother Chen, can you see clearly what that is?" Mo Fan asked.

Mo Fan's question attracted everyone's attention, and everyone who came to their senses turned their eyes to Lin Chen.

"I didn't see it clearly, but judging from the other party's body shape, it should be a monarch-level creature!" Lin Chen said lightly.

"What, a monarch-level creature, how is this possible?"

"Yes, Lin Chen, you may have seen it wrong!"

"How could we possibly survive the hands of a monarch-level creature?"

Lin Chen's words caused a commotion.

Lin Chen frowned slightly and explained, "Not all demons have ill will towards humans. For example, totems were once the protectors of humans!"

Jiang Shaoxu agreed, "That's right. There is currently a totem black snake in Hangzhou, which has been protecting humans for generations. The fact that the giant shadow was able to leave on its own accord shows that it has no ill will towards us!" Everyone nodded when they heard this. If they thought about it carefully, regardless of whether the giant shadow was a monarch-level creature or not, just based on its size, if it had any ill will towards them, it would only take a thought to destroy this magic ship and everyone would be buried in this vast ocean.

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Hey, I don't know why, but I feel like a frog in a well!"

Nan Jue said, “This is probably one of the reasons why our instructor wants us to come out and gain experience!”

This little episode added a bit of fun to the boring journey. Everyone recovered and returned to the cabin one after another.

Lin Chen brought the two girls back to the room and sighed softly.

Jiang Shaoxu asked curiously: "Do you know something?"

Lin Chen looked at Jiang Shaoxu deeply. Jiang Shaoxu was indeed a student majoring in psychology. His mind was more meticulous than that of ordinary people.

"The giant shadow totem we just saw—Baxia!!!" Lin Chen said.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Jiang Shaoxu and Mu Ningxue were both surprised.

"Are you sure?" Jiang Shaoxu asked uncertainly.

Jiang Tianyuan originally had a son and a daughter. His son, who was Jiang Shaoxu's brother, disappeared because of searching for the totem. Lin Chen's parents also died because of helping Jiang Tianyuan find his son.

Therefore, Jiang Shaoxu was particularly interested in totems. Originally, after the end of the World Government Competition, Jiang Shaoxu was going to embark on a journey to find totems. Now, after hearing what Lin Chen said, she seemed to have thought of something, and her face looked a little uncomfortable.

Lin Chen nodded gently and said, "Confirmed, Totem—Baxia, the totem beast of the Xuanwu lineage. You should know the black snake in Hangzhou, right?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Shaoxu responded softly.

Lin Chen said: "Black Snake and Ba Xia are both from the same lineage as Xuanwu. Unfortunately, totems have spirits and they will choose their masters themselves!"

Lin Chen paused, looked at Mu Ningxue, and then said, "It's a pity that none of us major in water, otherwise we could find a way to contract with Ba Xia!"

The combat power of any monarch-level creature is self-evident. Even the weakest monarch-level creature is a huge help to humans.

Judging from the plot of the original novel, Ba Xia’s choice is probably still Zhao Manyan. Lin Chen is a sophisticated egoist. Even if he can’t use something, he will give it to his woman. Yan Ji is such a person.

But it is impossible for everything to go as he wishes. Although it is a pity that Ba Xia cannot be used for his own benefit, fortunately Lin Chen is also content!
After hearing Lin Chen's words, the two girls understood why Lin Chen sighed before, and they secretly felt it was a pity.

……

No matter how long the journey is, there will be a day when it ends. The magic ship that Lin Chen is on has entered the Xiao Rizi's sea area and Anjie. Since the magic ship has been registered before and the ship itself has the name of Xiao Rizi written on it, it entered the Xiao Rizi's Anjie sea area very smoothly!
