Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 326 On the way
Three days passed in a flash.

The fleet was moving forward on the sea, following the predetermined route on the nautical chart.

Zhong Lin stayed in the room bored and practiced all the time. He even stayed at home and treated this voyage as a retreat.

Although Zhong Lin often goes into seclusion, he has never been in seclusion for more than half a year. This time he can give it a try.

However, Long Zhao often came to visit. At this time, he had already reached the perfection of the Soul Condensation Realm. Unless he condensed the Mysterious Pill, he could not make any further progress.

Sometimes when he was interested, he would pull Zhong Lin onto the deck for a walk.

A month passed and the giant ship had sailed into the deep sea.

That night, the weather at sea suddenly changed and heavy rain began to fall.

The wind roared, stirring up huge waves, and the huge ship swayed back and forth in the waves, shocking the power of heaven and earth.

Amidst the shaking, Zhong Lin was in no mood to continue meditating and practicing. He walked out of the room and went up to the deck through the stairwell.

Click!

There were dark clouds and thunder and lightning.

A bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating the entire sea surface in silvery white.

The waves rose high and beat against the deck like flapping sails.

The huge ships and frigates swayed unsteadily, pushing forward against wave after wave of waves.

Zhong Lin stood on the deck, staring straight at the boundless waves. The spiritual energy in his body circulated on its own, and blue halos flowed. His aura was connected with the endless water spirit energy around him, making him feel as if he had become a part of the waves.

At this moment, the image of a green dragon suddenly appeared in Zhong Lin's mind.

The green dragon was about several dozen feet long, with distinct scales and armor, four claws on its body, antlers on its head, and whiskers under its jaw. It was exactly the same dragon-like creature he had imagined.

The giant green dragon hovered between the sky and the earth, flying non-stop, roaring in waves.

Accompanied by black clouds and thunder, looming.

In the sea below, waterspouts continued to rise.

After a while, Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes. A blue light flashed across his eyes, and soon he returned to calm.

"What a great Qinglong Zhenhai! It turns out that studying more high-level skills can improve the Five Elements Hunyuan Gong. Just a local-level Qinglong Zhenhai Sutra can make the Five Elements Hunyuan Gong make some great progress." Zhong Lin said in his heart.

The "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong" was created by Zhong Lin with great efforts. It is based on the rotation of the five elements and has a profound concept, but it lacks agility and domineering power. Now, facing the endless storm on the sea, Zhong Lin actually felt a trace of the artistic conception of water, and gained a deeper understanding of the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong".

The circulation of spiritual energy is more agile than before.

boom!
Another huge wave came, accompanied by screams and sea water backflowing. Some servants who were cleaning the deck were instantly blown away, some were directly thrown into the sea, and some were heavily hit on the deck mast, wailing in pain.

"Bah!"

Suddenly, a yellowish-brown light flashed on the splint, and a middle-aged warrior in a yellow robe walked slowly towards them.

This man had a middle-aged face, a fair complexion without a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Facing the huge waves that were dozens of feet high, he pointed his toes, jumped up, and then slapped the air towards the huge waves.

Bang!
With a muffled sound, the huge wave was instantly shattered and turned into drops of water that fell on the hull.

boom!
Another wave came.

The middle-aged man once again used his power to break the waves, and he looked like a fierce general charging into battle.

Soon, the rain stopped.

The sea gradually calmed down and everything became calm.

Without the attack of waves, the sea water on the deck was soon cleared.

The seawater on these decks must be cleaned as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily corrode the hull and affect the life of the giant ship.

"Thank you, senior."

The servants bowed and thanked the middle-aged man. If he hadn't helped them, even if they could still get through the hardship, there was a high probability that some of them would have died.

The middle-aged man nodded without saying anything, but instead looked at Zhong Lin. "Thank you for your help just now."

He was not the only one who took action before. Zhong Lin also lent a hand, but his methods were secretive. Some of the waves were suppressed by Zhong Lin before they even rose.

"No problem, haven't you asked me yet?"

"My name is Chen Jian."

"It's Brother Chen, I'm Zhong Lin."

"Zhong Lin? Such a familiar name."

Suddenly, Chen Jian seemed to have thought of something. He took another close look at Zhong Lin and exclaimed in astonishment, "You...you are Master Zhong Dan?"

Zhong Lin smiled and nodded, "If you're talking about the one from Jian Ding Sect, then that's me."

Chen Jian's face was filled with ecstasy. He bowed respectfully and said, "Chen Jian of Hanxue Pavilion, nice to meet Master Zhong Dan. I didn't expect it to be Master Zhong Dan in person. I really don't recognize the great man. I am showing off my skills in front of you."

"Brother Chen has good intentions, which is respectable and admirable. Why would you show off your skills in front of an expert?" Zhong Lin said with a smile.

After saying that, he turned and left without saying anything more.

Chen Jian behind him opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

……

The days that followed were much calmer. The fleet braved the wind and waves and continued to move forward along the established route.

In a flash, more than half a month passed.

Zhong Lin still meditated and practiced in his room every day. He naturally broke through to the late stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, and his soul was now as tall as seven inches.

Late that night, the huge ship suddenly began to shake violently.

Zhong Lin woke up in shock and immediately released his spiritual perception.

Outside the giant ship, there were dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the sea seemed to be angry, setting off huge waves and turbulent waves.

Kechi!

Suddenly, a frigate following the giant ship was torn apart by the waves, with its bow sinking and its stern rising high.

A large number of warriors jumped into the sea to escape, but were swallowed by a wave and disappeared.

"It's a storm again..."

Zhong Lin was not panicked at all. He had encountered such storms more than once along the way, but this time the storm was a little stronger.

And there are more than just this group of warriors who died.

“No wonder some warriors on the Falling Star Islands would rather die of old age on the island than go out to sea; it’s simply too dangerous.

Without cultivating to the Spiritual Sea Realm, one cannot fly, and there is almost no chance of survival if a wave hits this sea."

With a sigh, Zhong Lin continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Not long after, someone knocked on the door.

Zhong Lin frowned slightly, stood up and opened the door.

But then a steward from the giant ship appeared at the door and said anxiously, "Senior, the Vanguard Fleet has sent an emergency rescue request. They have been attacked by a large number of sea beasts in the sea ahead. Please go to the rescue."

Zhong Lin's expression remained unchanged. He nodded and stepped out.

After the steward saw Zhong Lin coming, he went to knock on other doors.

After passing through the corridor, Zhong Lin soon arrived on the deck.

At this moment, a lot of people had gathered on the deck.
