Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 274 The Messenger Contains a Sumeru Space

"Feng Xiaotian, these past three days have exhausted us. The Pavilion Master was almost ready to dig out your berserk soul bone."

During these three days, whenever Feng Xiaotian went berserk, Ye Liangchen would order everyone to gang up on him and beat him up to help him adapt to the berserk state.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Once we reach Hanhai City, I'll treat you to a few good meals."

Feng Xiaotian apologized to everyone. Although he had been beaten every day for the past three days, he was very happy. He had completely mastered the berserk state and would no longer have to worry about losing his mind when activating the Soul Bone Berserk skill in the future.

"Feng Xiaotian, you've been beaten half to death by us every time for the past three days, and you're supposed to thank everyone? Are you a masochist?"

Jin Ling'er chimed in mischievously, saying that in the past three days, she had been the one who beat the most severely.

"It's an honor for me to be beaten up by everyone."

Feng Xiaotian chuckled and said that although he had been beaten for three days, it had given him control over the berserk ability. He would be happy to be beaten for ten days, let alone three.

"This guy is a masochist, hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"In three days, this guy was able to completely control his berserk state without a spiritual head soul bone, which is quite impressive."

Ye Liangchen remembered that in the original story, when Dai Mubai first absorbed this soul bone, he was already at the level of a Soul Emperor, but he didn't dare to use the Berserk Soul Bone skill at that time, for fear that he would lose control of his mind after going berserk.

In order to help Feng Xiaotian master the Soul Bone Berserk skill, the group spent five days to reach Hanhai City, which is near the coast.

After paying some gold soul coins to the soldiers guarding the city gate, the group entered Hanhai City and smelled a salty and savory aroma.

"Sniff sniff...!"

"What does this taste like?"

Zhu Zhuqing smelled the scent in the air and was very curious.

"Sister Zhuqing, this is the taste of the sea."

Shuiyue'er, Xuewu, Yu Hairou and others had been to Hanhai City before, so they were very familiar with this smell.

The taste of the sea? Ye Liangchen listened to what the girls were saying and felt that it sounded a bit like the words of a tiger or wolf.

Hanhai City is a port city in the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom. The people living here have darker skin and are shorter in stature because they have been in contact with the sea for a long time.

"This city is quite beautiful!"

Jin Ling'er linked arms with Shui Bing'er, looking at the scenery in all directions, feeling very excited.

Because Ye Liangchen and his group were taller than the local residents of Hanhai City, and their ordinary clothes had been discarded after the extermination of the wolf bandits, everyone was now dressed in bright and gorgeous clothes. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. Walking down the street, they stood out like cranes among chickens, immediately attracting the attention of the local people. However, Ye Liangchen and his group didn't care much. After all, they were all Soul Masters, so they weren't afraid of anyone causing trouble.

"Sect Leader, how about we stay at the Spirit Hall in Hanhai City first? I know Bishop Lowes there, and then we can set sail. What do you think?"

Hu Liena walked over to Ye Liangchen and asked for his opinion.

"No problem, we'll stay here for a couple of days and get to know the city."

Ye Liangchen also liked this port city very much and planned to use it to build a long-range fleet. He also planned to subdue the pirates on Purple Pearl Island, as they were very suitable for maritime work since they had been dealing with the sea for many years.

"Swish..."

Just then, an old man at the Soul Saint level quickly arrived in front of Ye Liangchen and his group from a distance.

"Your Highness, Young Master Ye, you've arrived." The old man was overjoyed to see his young masters finally appear.

"Senior, did you know we were coming?" Ye Liangchen asked curiously.

"Young Master Ye, I received His Holiness the Pope's secret order half a month ago, and I have been waiting ever since. When you entered Hanhai City, you were discovered by our scouts."

Bishop Lawrence had been eagerly anticipating this, sending people to keep an eye on things in Hanhai City every day, afraid of missing out on these little devils and then being blamed by Pope Bibi Dong.

"Bishop Lawrence, we were just looking for you! We didn't expect you to come. In that case, please arrange for us to stay."

Hu Liena then revealed her identity as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, allowing the cardinal to settle everyone in.

"Yes, Holy Maiden."

"Young Master Ye, everyone, please follow me."

Lowes hired two carriages and led everyone towards the Spirit Hall.

"Young Master Ye, logically speaking, Tianshui City is only about a 10-day journey from Hanhai City. You shouldn't have taken that long! Did you encounter some trouble on the way?"

In the evening, at the banquet of the Spirit Hall, Bishop Lawrence inquired about the situation from Ye Liangchen.

"We previously discovered traces of wolf bandits within the territory of Häagen-Dazs, so we tracked them in the mountains for ten days and eventually eliminated 300 wolf bandits, which is why it took so long."

Ye Liangchen revealed the matter of the wolf bandits, which drew the attention of the Spirit Hall personnel. After all, the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom would be under the management of the Spirit Hall from now on, and these high-ranking officials had an obligation to rid the people of this menace.

"300 wolf bandits?"

Bishop Lorres and several other staff members were stunned. They never expected that these young people would actually wipe out 300 wolf bandits. They were truly promising at such a young age!

"Bishop Lawrence, we are not sure if there are still wolf bandits within the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs. Immediately send someone to notify the Martial Soul Branch Halls in other cities of the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs to summon experts to patrol the mountains, completely eradicate the wolf bandits, and ensure the safety of civilians."

As the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena understood that the Spirit Hall needed to serve the common people in order to win their hearts.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will arrange it immediately."

Lors immediately dispatched scouts to contact the Spirit Hall branches in several other cities of the Hagendas Kingdom. Exterminating the wolf bandits was also one of the Spirit Hall's tasks, and this was an opportunity to make a name for himself, which he couldn't miss.

After arriving in Hanhai City, Ye Liangchen remembered the Dragon Abyss Boat, a soul tool that could dive, which appeared in the original story. He wondered if it had appeared now.

The Spirit Hall also has its own fleet in Hanhai City, but it only transports supplies in shallow waters. The Spirit Hall's higher-ups have ordered that the fleet not venture into the open sea to avoid conflict with the people of Seagod Island. However, for Ye Liangchen's sake, Lowes was prepared to send some sailors to take everyone to the outskirts of Seagod Island, but Ye Liangchen did not intend to put the Spirit Hall's people at risk, so he declined Lowes's offer.

"Bishop Lawrence, do you know of any ships that can avoid water?" Ye Liangchen asked Lawrence.

"A boat capable of avoiding water?"

"I remember now. There's a ship called the Dragon Abyss Boat in the auction house of the Great Soul Arena in Hanhai City. It's a soul tool that can dive to a depth of 300 meters and enjoy the view from the sea. However, because its defense is too weak, it can only withstand attacks from century-old soul beasts in the sea. It's been on the auction house for several years, but no one has bought it. The residents of Hanhai City are very familiar with the sea and are very skilled in swimming. They have absolutely no interest in that soul tool that can avoid water."

Lowes explained the advantages and disadvantages of the Longyuan boat to Ye Liangchen.

"There are such amazing soul tools! It's incredible!" Shui Bing'er, Hu Liena, Feng Xiaotian, and the others were all incredulous upon hearing this.

"That's it." Ye Liangchen was quite surprised to hear that the boat was there.

"Xiao Chen, my Vast Ocean Universe Cover can cover everyone as long as I activate it with my soul power. I don't think it's necessary to buy that useless Dragon Abyss Boat." Shui Yue'er reminded Ye Liangchen that there was no need to waste money.

"Sister Yue'er, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover can cover everyone, but it's stationary and can't sail on water, while that boat can sail underwater." Ye Liangchen understood the wonders of the Dragon Abyss Boat and naturally didn't want to miss it.

"In that case, let's hurry up and get it down."

Knowing that Ye Liangchen needed the Dragon Abyss Boat and that it must be useful, Lawrence led everyone to the Soul Arena in Hanhai City. Moreover, the Spirit Hall was one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of the Soul Arena and the auction house, so they could just go and get it directly without having to buy it.

"Huh! The arena's stage is actually a large pond? They're fighting in the water?"

Upon entering the Soul Arena, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, Jin Yue'er, and the others gazed at the large pond in the center of the arena, where two Soul Masters were currently fighting in the water, a sight that caught their attention.

"Almost all the Soul Masters in this city are Sea Soul Masters; fighting in the water is their forte," Lowes explained to the crowd.

"Your soul masters from Tianshui Academy often fight in the water, which is quite suitable for you."

Hu Liena glanced at Shui Bing'er and the others. This voyage was quite easy for Shui Bing'er and the others.

"Those of you who can't swim should all give it a try; it will be of great help for sailing at sea."

Bishop Lowes suggested that Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Feng Xiaotian, and the Qian Gu brothers, these Han ducks, go and fight a few battles with the Sea Soul Masters to get used to it.

"Let's go! Let's see how the Sea Soul Masters fight."

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang and his sister, Jin Yue'er, Qingming, and the Qian Gu brothers thought it made sense, so they immediately signed up to participate in the Soul Fighting Competition.

"Brother Ye, can I go to the competition too?" Jin Ling'er tilted her head and looked at Ye Liangchen.

"No need. Your spirit ring combination is too overpowered and will scare others. You guys can just go watch the show."

"Bai Chenxiang doesn't need to participate in the competition anymore. Your attack power is too weak. You'll just get beaten up if you go up there. Besides, you have the ability to fly, so you don't need to worry about anything at sea."

"Senior Luo and I will go buy the Dragon Abyss Boat first, and then we'll come find you."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he walked towards the auction house. Buying the Dragon Abyss Boat was the most important thing.

Upon arriving at the auction house, Ye Liangchen and Lawrence went directly to the person in charge of the auction house.

"Your Excellency, what are your orders?"

The auction house manager greeted Bishop Lawrence with a smile as soon as he arrived.

"Manager Cheng, is the Dragon Abyss boat from the auction still there?"

"I've always been here, Your Excellency."

"Then bring it here! Give it to this young master."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Following Lawrence's instructions, Manager Cheng went directly to the auction house backstage, retrieved the Dragon Abyss Boat, and handed it over to Ye Liangchen.

"Manager, how much is this boat? I'll pay; we can't let the auction house lose out."

Ye Liangchen took the Longyuan Boat and looked at it. It was only a foot long, white all over, with fish fin-like oars on both sides. He thought it was pretty good.

"Young master, there's no need to pay," Bishop Lawrence reminded him from the side.

"Senior Luo, official business must be handled impartially; there must be no favoritism or corruption."

"How about this? I'll give you 10,000 gold soul coins."

Ye Liangchen remembered that in the original plot, the starting price for this ship was about 10,000, so he took out a gold soul coin card with a limit of 10,000 from his soul tool and handed it to the auction house manager.

"Your Excellency?" Manager Cheng looked at Lawrence, as if asking whether to take it or not.

"Manager Cheng, please accept it."

Lors nodded, signaling the manager to accept the money. However, he was quite surprised that Ye Liangchen had given him 10,000 gold soul coins, since the starting price for the Dragon Abyss Boat was also exactly 10,000.

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen channeled his soul power into a groove on the Dragon Abyss Boat. In an instant, the one-foot-long boat visibly transformed into a 12-meter-long ship, about two meters wide in the middle, with pointed ends. Moreover, the hull was transparent, like a glass boat, which felt quite impressive.

"good."

Looking at the huge, transparent submarine, Ye Liangchen felt that spending 10,000 gold soul coins was well worth it.

"Whoosh..."

Then, without even realizing it, Ye Liangchen put the Dragon Abyss Boat into his game inventory.

Holy crap! Ye Liangchen was quite surprised that a 12-meter-long boat could be stored in his game inventory.

"Young master, can your soul tool hold something this big?"

As Lowes and the auction house manager watched the 12-meter-long ship disappear into thin air, they assumed that Ye Liangchen had taken it into his soul tool. They wondered: How big must this guy's soul tool be?

"Don't be offended, my soul tool has a larger storage space."

Ye Liangchen calmly said that his soul tool space was 50 cubic meters, which was indeed enough to hold the ship.

"Senior Luo, let's go check out the ships that have gone out to sea."

Ye Liangchen discovered that his game backpack seemed to have more space, so he decided to try and fit a 100-meter-long ship inside to see if it could fit.

"Yes, young master."

Lors led Ye Liangchen away from the Soul Arena and headed towards the deep-water port where the Spirit Hall fleet was located.

"Young master, our fleet consists of 30 large ships. These ships are 80 meters long and 30 meters wide. The hulls are coated with special paint and are also covered with iron sheets. They can withstand the attacks of thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts in the sea."

Lowes introduced the Spirit Hall's fleet to Ye Liangchen, a hint of pride on his face.

"This one is not bad."

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen placed his hand on a boat, and with a thought, he directly put the large boat into his game inventory space.

Holy crap! This is amazing.

"Whoosh..."

Immediately afterwards, Ye Liangchen loaded another ship, and it was successful as well. It was so awesome!

"Young Master! These... these two ships are so big, how could you fit soul tools inside?"

Lorse was dumbfounded. Just how big was this guy's soul tool space?

"Senior Luo, don't worry about it. My soul tool space is just a tiny bit larger."

Ye Liangchen has now confirmed that his game inventory space is similar to the storage space in a ring in a cultivation world, so it's not surprising that it can hold such a large ship.

"Hehe...! Young master, you have certainly broadened my horizons."

Lowes learned from the Spirit Hall's higher-ups that this young man was an unparalleled prodigy. Today, he finally witnessed the little guy's amazing abilities, but he didn't dare to inquire about Ye Liangchen's background.
