Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 321 Fierce Battle

Ao Hongchen was worried that while he was dealing with other sea spirit beasts, they might take the opportunity to attack the cruise ship. With their enormous size, if they attacked the cruise ship, they could easily capsize it.

Because there were Federation personnel on board, Ao Hongchen needed to focus on protecting them. Otherwise, if the ship were destroyed by the enemy, given their current location deep in the sea, they would be in serious trouble.

Returning to the mainland or going to the Star Luo Continent would require a considerable amount of effort.

The ferocious beast, wary of Ao Hongchen's strength, could only remain deep in the sea, keeping Ao Hongchen at bay.

As the ferocious beast and the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts attacked, Cai Yue'er and the other four also began to defend themselves. Cai Yue'er fought against the octopus-like ferocious beast, while the other four faced off against the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Although the other four were also three-word battle armor masters, this was, after all, the ocean. Even with their home-field advantage, it would be difficult for them to do anything against the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Meanwhile, the battle between the two large ships had already begun.

With a series of deep rumbles, bursts of intense light from the cannons that had been opened on both sides of the large ship shot out.

These soul-guided cannons are powered by arrays of fully charged soul-guided batteries, and can also be activated by soul masters injecting soul power directly when necessary.

Each soul-guided cannon possesses formidable attack power; the most powerful soul-guided cannon even boasts attack power at the level of a Title Douluo.

In an instant, the sea roared as it was bombarded, and the attacks of the sea spirit beasts struck the protective shield of the large ship, unleashing rings of blinding halos.

Fortunately, both delegations had equipped themselves with formidable defensive capabilities and ample soul-guiding energy supplies for their safety. They were able to barely hold out against the siege of the sea spirit beasts.

"Should we make a move?" Na'er asked from the third deck.

Unexpectedly, Nan Fusheng shook his head, "The Star Luo can still hold on. The situation is still unclear, so let's not take action for now."

The sea spirit beasts are all in the sea, and among the four of them, apart from Fors, Na'er and Xu Xiaoyan don't have any obvious long-range attack methods, so it's best to hold back for now.

Just then, a beam of white light shot into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the ship's protective shield and appeared in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a huge sword appeared in the sky and then fell towards the sea, crashing straight into the seabed.

Visibly, vast swathes of seawater began to freeze rapidly, wisps of white steam rose, and the solid ice spread quickly in all directions. One by one, the sea spirit beasts were frozen solid within it.

The ice spread very quickly, reaching a diameter of several hundred meters in the blink of an eye. A large number of sea spirit beasts were frozen in this direction, and the pressure immediately decreased significantly.

"Ah, it's Teacher Wu making her move!" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise. Indeed, the giant sword that had just frozen the sea was none other than Wu Changkong's Heavenly Frost Sword.

Wu Changkong used his Martial Soul True Body to freeze the sea, achieving complete control. Nan Fusheng sensed it with his spiritual power and, good heavens, there were at least twenty sea spirit beasts over ten thousand years old sealed within.

"Boom—" Just then, the ship shook violently, and the outer protective shield was already on the verge of giving way.

The sea spirit beasts were too numerous, and the two giant ocean-going ships were primarily for ocean voyages, not for warfare. At this moment, although mechs were launched from the ships to join the battle, the sea spirit beasts still held the upper hand.

Once the protective shield breaks and the ship is attacked directly, damage to the hull means that everyone involved will likely perish. Yes, this refers to the ordinary Soul Masters.

"Attention all Soul Masters! Attention all Soul Masters! We are under attack by sea spirit beasts. All Soul Masters must immediately join the battle to protect our ship and prevent its destruction. Please join the battle immediately to reduce the sea spirit beasts' attacks on the hull."

Upon hearing this, all three looked at Nan Fusheng, clearly wanting him to make a decision.

"There's no other way." Nan Fusheng nodded. Since things had come to this, they had to at least put on a show. "Let's make a move."

With a flash of silver light, spatial teleportation was activated, and Nan Fusheng and the other three teleported to the frozen ice surface of Wu Changkong. This was the battlefield most suitable for them to perform on.

Looking at the surrounding situation, Nan Fusheng immediately gave instructions, "We don't need to attack the sea spirit beast actively, just intercept its attacks. The sea spirit beast also needs to constantly consume its soul power to activate its soul skills."

We'll engage them in a prolonged battle, trying our best to block their attacks on the large ship. Remember to conserve your soul energy as much as possible, just in case.

"Okay," the three agreed in unison.

With the solid ice beneath their feet, it was easier for them to fight, but to go out into the ocean and fight sea spirit beasts would be no different from suicide for them, given their cultivation level.

Among the sea spirit beasts surrounding the two large ships, there were at least a hundred with cultivation levels of ten thousand years. Although other people were also involved, the strength of the sea spirit beasts should not be underestimated.

Facing several ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, Nan Fusheng and his companions were naturally not afraid, but if they were surrounded and attacked in the ocean, they would surely die.

Not to mention, most of the attacking sea spirit beasts were ferocious spirit beasts like the Demon Soul Great White Shark. These spirit beasts are extremely sensitive to blood, and if their companions die, they will mercilessly devour the corpses.

"They're just a few animals, so why do they suddenly have such a sense of companionship?" Nan Fusheng complained. He knew the characteristics of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, a soul beast, very well.

That's why he found it even harder to understand why the other party was so determined to make them hand over the beast killer. Surely the demon soul great white shark that Tang Wulin killed wasn't the other party's child?

"Huh? That seems quite possible." If that's the case, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

Fors's eyes flashed, and with a casual wave of her hand, wind blades, lightning, ice spears, and golden swords materialized, attacking into the distance. Blocking the waves of sea spirit beast attacks hurtling towards the ship was effortless for her, given her mental power.

Nan Fusheng also activated his fourth soul skill, Spirit Condensation, with a thought. Countless sharp swords appeared out of thin air and shot towards the sea.

Na'er summoned her Silver Dragon Spear, unleashing streaks of spear light into the air to barely block attacks that were closer to the sea.

Xu Xiaoyan then used her second soul skill: Starlight Feedback. This evolved ability of her martial soul can force opponents exposed to her starlight to change their attack direction or have their skills interrupted, causing confusion.

In an instant, many sea spirit beasts' attacks were either interrupted by her or their attack directions were changed, causing them to hit their own people instead.

A deafening roar erupted from behind Nan Fusheng. Immediately afterward, five streaks of platinum light emerged from the dust, flashing past Nan Fusheng and heading towards the distant sea spirit beast.

"Pfft—" A white-gold light flashed, tearing apart a ten-thousand-year-old demonic great white shark.

Keep in mind that this is a ten-thousand-year-old demonic great white shark. Even a Soul King wearing a one-word battle armor wouldn't dare say they could defeat it in the ocean, let alone kill it with a single blow like this.

The flow of blood drove the sea spirit beasts beside the dismembered demonic great white shark into a frenzy. Some of the demonic great white sharks, in particular, instinctively abandoned their attacks and instead began devouring the corpses of their companions.

"Looks like we'll have to work together again."

Lu Fa's indifferent voice rang out from behind Nan Fusheng.

"Mm." Nan Fusheng nodded. When you're out and about, you have to act, even if it's just a clone.

Immediately afterwards, lightning surged and struck directly into the sea. The enormous sound instantly attracted a lot of attention. Many ten-thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts near the lightning were shocked and their bodies went numb, while the thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts rolled over, revealing their white bodies.

It was Kamui who made his move; his lightning abilities were incredibly useful in this ocean surrounded by water.

At the same time, the rest of the Seven Stars of Glory also rushed down below and took action one by one.

They decided to take action the moment the Starship's broadcast came on. After all, they were members of the exchange group, and it was indeed their duty to help at a time like this.

At this moment, only Ao Hongchen remained on the deck. Dang Hongchen had just intervened to help the others fend off the sea spirit beast's attack. Ao Hongchen, on the other hand, needed to stay behind to guard against the unknown ferocious beast.

"Life is truly unpredictable."

Ao Hongchen shook his head, surprised that he would encounter such a thing. He did not stop Lu Fa and the others from taking action.

After all, this was a rare opportunity for the students from the academy to learn about the differences between sea spirit beasts and get used to them. It also allowed them to understand the differences between fighting on the sea and on land.

At this moment, all the Soul Masters on both cruise ships joined the battle. This was a battle concerning everyone's safety; no one could stand aside.

Fortunately, the members of both delegations were quite powerful. Some politicians who usually appeared gentle and refined were now wearing advanced mechs and hovering in mid-air to participate in the battle.

The two giant ships drew close together, their soul-guided cannons fully activated, relentlessly bombarding the sea spirit beasts' formation and suppressing their attacks.

The delegations that were able to represent the two continents in exchanges were all outstanding individuals from various fields.

In the Douluo Continent, almost every industry's top performers are composed of Soul Masters, because Soul Masters have stronger physical talents and mental strength, giving them a unique advantage over ordinary people in any industry.

The scales of victory have finally tipped in favor of humanity.

"Boom—" The sky in the distance changed color rapidly, and terrifying energy fluctuations roared through the air. A dazzling silver light transformed into a huge circular moon blade, sweeping across the sky. A thick tentacle descended from the sky, crashing onto the sea and creating towering waves.

Ao Hongchen frowned as he watched this scene. Although it seemed that Cai Yue'er had the upper hand, he knew very well that this kind of attack was taking a huge toll on her.

Sure enough, a flash of silver light appeared, and Cai Yue'er's figure materialized. However, her condition was clearly not optimistic; her face was slightly pale, and her eyes were somewhat dim. It was evident that although she had severed one of her opponent's attacks, her own exertion had been considerable.

Her opponent, the octopus-like beast, was in a different situation. Although it had indeed had one of its tentacles severed, but...

At this moment, countless pale blue light spots in the sea were drawn into the ferocious beast's body by its allure, and the severed tentacles were slowly growing back as they writhed.

Although replenishment cannot keep up with the rate of consumption, it is still much better than Cai Yue'er having no replenishment at all.

"Looks like we need to help her."

Although Ao Hongchen said he would help Cai Yue'er, he didn't actually make any move. Instead, his lips twitched slightly, as if he were talking to someone.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the Star Luo, Mu Ye's lips twitched, as if he had heard something.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from that old guy." Mu Ye reached out and rubbed his forehead. He hadn't planned to take action, since he knew Ao Hongchen was on the Star Luo, and he didn't think it was his turn to make a move.

Unexpectedly, Ao Hongchen sent him a telepathic message asking him to take action, and his words subtly implied that he was the one who had attracted the group of sea spirit beasts.

How to put it? Although Ao Hongchen didn't guess the whole story, he guessed most of it correctly.

This matter is indeed related to him. There are not many Soul Masters on the ship who have the ability to hunt the Demon Soul Great White Shark without alerting others, and he happens to be one of them.

Moreover, his daily routine of taking Tang Wulin to the deep sea clearly did not escape Ao Hongchen's notice.

Once or twice is one thing, but taking Tang Wulin to the deep sea for two consecutive months is something that might fool the other party. Mu Ye would start to suspect that Ao Hongchen's strength might be exaggerated.

Clearly, Ao Hongchen saw that the person he attacked was not his student, and since Mu Ye didn't seem to have any ill intentions, he didn't bother with him.

However, since Cai Yue'er's situation is precarious and Ao Hongchen needs to be wary of the guy in the sea who is unethical and launches a sneak attack, Mu Ye has no choice but to take action.

In any case, this incident is most likely related to the other party, so of course he would ask Makino to help.

"This time I've really screwed myself over." Mu Ye shook his head, and a layer of dark golden light began to emanate from his body. His spirit rings were even more exaggerated, five black and four red, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

In a flash of light, Mu Ye appeared beside Cai Yue'er and said to the ferocious beast, "The murderer is here, what can you do about it?"

"It's you!" The octopus beast's eight eyes narrowed, and eight beams of blue light shot out from them, hurtling straight toward Muye.

"Hmph." Mu Ye snorted coldly, and the eight blue beams of light neither dodged nor avoided. Instead, he threw a punch directly at them.

The dark golden fist slammed out, and the sky seemed to twist violently. The blue light was instantly shattered by his punch.

Mu Ye glanced at Cai Yue'er and said calmly, "Leave this to me."
