Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 96 The Despicable Fisherman

Once again, we returned to the vast and magnificent sea, where the horizon stretched endlessly, a breathtaking sight where the water met the sky.

After spending a few days together, Mishar had become close friends with Ye Wen and A Yin.

Furthermore, Ye Wen proposed the idea of ​​establishing a trade with the mermaid clan. Although the mermaid clan has a Sea Maiden Douluo serving on Seagod Island, the resources they can obtain from the mainland are still too few.

Although mermaids are said to be half-human and half-spirit beasts, they are not essentially bloodthirsty wild animals, but rather a kind of life with high intelligence, so they also have needs for human material things.

However, given the generally unfriendly attitude of the mermaid race towards humans, this situation is made even worse.

Therefore, Ye Wen made a deal with Mishar, agreeing to act as a middleman for the mermaid clan on the continent, trading resources at fair prices. Furthermore, he promised to let Mishar return to her clan after obtaining her seventh spirit ring.

As for why it's said to be after the seventh spirit ring, it's because Mishar's help is needed.

Compared to the soul beast resources on the mainland, the ocean, which is hundreds of times larger than the mainland, has a considerable number of 10-year-old soul beasts and even ferocious beasts. However, most of them live in the dark and sunless deep sea. Unless there is a guide familiar with the deep sea terrain, ordinary soul masters, even sea soul masters, cannot discover these 10-year-old soul beasts in the deep sea.

Although Mishar's cultivation level is not high, her swimming speed is second to none among all marine creatures.

If she hadn't been caught in the attack of the Mosasaurus that day, she wouldn't have been knocked unconscious on the sea and picked up by Ye Wen.

"Brother Ye, there is a soul beast with 20 years of cultivation in the sea below."

Mishar, who had just surfaced from the seabed, said hesitantly.

After all, a ferocious beast with 200,000 years of cultivation has reached the level of a super Douluo of level 96 or 97. Even among their mermaid clan, such a ferocious beast is not something they dare to provoke.

I don't know whether bringing Ye Wen here is a blessing or a curse.

However, considering Ye Wen's special abilities, even if she couldn't win, she should be able to escape, so Mishar reluctantly agreed.

Ye Wen surveyed the seawater. It was clear that they were in the deep sea, with the water probably two or three thousand meters deep.

If someone with thalassophobia were to dive down here, they would not see the seabed, but rather a vast, desolate expanse.

"You go and wait upstairs with Ah Yin. I'll see if I can lure out that 20-year-old ferocious beast."

As Ye Wen spoke, he took out many pieces of corpse from his martial soul and scattered them on the sea surface. Instantly, the deep blue sea was stained red with blood, which looked rather disgusting.

In an instant, the once beautiful sea surface suddenly churned, and all sorts of strangely shaped sea spirit beasts emerged there, fighting over the pieces of the carcass.

"Hiss~! This is the density of spirit beasts in the deep sea. No wonder human sea spirit masters dare not set foot here. They just hunted down a spirit beast, and before they could even absorb the spirit ring, they were about to be surrounded and killed. Isn't this ridiculous!"

Even with his Soul Saint cultivation, Ye Wen felt a chill run down his spine.

The group of soul beasts, who were originally fighting over food, started attacking each other. Soul skills rose and fell on the sea, causing the originally small sea of ​​blood to expand considerably, and it was also mixed with other strange colors.

Seeing such a commotion, and that the unknown 20-year-old soul beast still hadn't come out, Ye Wen frowned.

It seems only the most secret weapon can lure it out.

After some deliberation, Ye Wen reluctantly took out a jar from his Martial Soul Space.

This is taro paste made from the flesh of the Evil Fragrance Konjac. Once the lid is opened, the aroma inside can drive ordinary soul beasts crazy, because it contains the allure that can evolve the bloodline of soul beasts.

However, to avoid wasting this only remaining unique item, a fierce glint flashed in Ye Wen's eyes.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Spatial Vibration - Overclocking! H!"

(P.S.: This technique is based on Gojo Satoru's Reversal of Techniques: Hell, which unleashes a powerful repulsive force outwards. Ye Wen's technique works by opposing the impact forces of two powerful molecular movements, and then unifying the direction of the forces under the effect of the Barrier of Space.)

Ye Wen's hands were simultaneously enveloped in a transparent ball of soul power. However, instead of being flung out and shattered by the air, the two balls continued to compress and shrink in size.

In the end, the two spaces that were originally the size of bowling balls shrank to the size of a billiard ball.

Ye Wen then collided the two small balls, each filled with extreme vibrational power, with a powerful impact erupting from the point of contact between them.

Ye Wen used the characteristics of his fifth soul skill, Void Barrier, to restrain the impact force and charged straight towards the sea directly below.

Even the Void Barrier, which had been extremely compressed and strengthened by Ye Wen and was strong enough to defend against attacks from Title Douluo, shattered instantly.

Fortunately, Ye Wen was quick-witted and swiftly activated his fourth soul skill, "Inner Space," to put his body into a phantom state, thus avoiding the backlash.

The violent force stretched for thousands of meters across the sea, creating giant waves that reached thousands of meters high.

High in the sky, both Ah Yin and Mishar were shocked by this incredibly powerful attack.

However, Ye Wen, the one who performed the skill, did not have an easy time. Although he had already conducted a simulation test through his second soul skill, he did not expect the reaction force to be so strong.

It seems it can't be used as a regular killing move, since the wind-up is too long, and battles for Soul Masters become increasingly fast-paced, plus a mishandling could backfire and injure oneself, which is really not worth it.

"Brother Ye's move was too powerful! Now I believe he has the ability to hunt down that 20-year-old soul beast. Even our clan leader probably couldn't have withstood that attack just now," Mishar exclaimed.

The sea, which had been murky just moments before, had returned to its azure blue color, though a fishy smell still lingered in the air.

After adjusting his state, Ye Wen began to sprinkle the special taro paste made by the evil-smelling konjac into the water little by little after half an hour.

As for why not just throw them all down at once, that would be like throwing meat buns to a dog—gone and never to return. After all, beneath the sea surface, there are not only ferocious beasts with 20 years of cultivation, but also other ocean spirit beasts. If they were just thrown down and eaten by a passing ocean spirit beast, that would be a huge loss.

In the fishing world, there's a saying that this is called "baiting," a method to attract fish as much as possible. After all, there's an old saying that goes, "It's easier to catch fish in muddy waters."

Furthermore, the sense of smell of fish in water is different from that of humans living in the air, and it takes a certain amount of time for the smell to travel.

The allure of the Evil Fragrance Konjac to soul beasts is exactly as Ah Yin described; it is indeed a rare and precious treasure that can drive soul beasts mad.

Although Douluo Continent is considered a low-tier fantasy novel, it still adheres to the basic principles of fantasy cultivation. Human soul masters' talents are determined by their innate soul power, while soul beasts' talents are determined by their bloodline. Each evolution of the bloodline allows soul beasts to go further, which is why they are willing to go to great lengths for it.

Compared to the corpses and chunks of flesh from before, the soul beasts that gathered this time were much more numerous and were fighting even more fiercely.

The thousand-year-old soul beast that had just swallowed Ye Wen's bait might be swallowed whole by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in the next second, reminding Ye Wen of that trash GG who relied entirely on swallowing to cultivate a Kun at the beginning.

Because the battle was too intense, Ye Wen didn't dare to get too close. Instead, he watched from a height of over 100 meters above the ground with Ah Yin.

Suddenly, the once lively and energetic soul beasts all froze in place, floating on the sea like dead fish.
