"You're the one with a problem in your head!" Kelly said angrily.

Of course, Kelly didn't know that her angry words had become a self-fulfilling prophecy, hitting Chen Hong right where it hurt.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I have a question for you. If I release you now, do you intend to use your fishtail to crawl back to the sea from the land? Or do you plan to walk down the Barak River, cross half of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and enter the ocean?"

"Mermaids are an extremely rare species for land-based Soul Masters. If I release you today, I might see you in some slave market tomorrow."

Chen Hong expressed concern about Kelly's mental state, and kindly asked, "Could fresh water be affecting your condition? For example, affecting the vitality of cells throughout your body, thus causing sluggish brain responses? Should I add some salt to it?"

Then add some cumin and mustard.

Kelly: "While what you say makes a lot of sense, please don't go too far! And why did you let me go? Do you have ulterior motives towards me?! Let me tell you, it's absolutely impossible for you to move me and make me fall in love with you, this despicable human!"

Chen Hong: "???"

"Your wild imagination is quite good, but please don't think like that again next time."

Intelligent beings only feel fear and alienation towards those they cannot communicate with. However, they feel relaxed and at ease when facing beings with whom they can communicate and sense each other's emotions, thus exhibiting their most comfortable state. Undoubtedly, Tiss Kelly's mind became active after discovering that Chen Hong was someone she could communicate with (although communication was somewhat difficult).

Chen Hong said somewhat helplessly, "Letting you go is actually letting myself go. Let me be frank with you, your presence is very disadvantageous to me, and being able to send you away safely is my last resort."

"Since we've already chosen to send you away, instead of putting you in a pot, I think it's better to send you back to the ocean, as a way of forging a good connection."

"You really don't have any other evil thoughts?" Kelly asked suspiciously.

With her limited understanding, she simply couldn't fathom that Chen Hong bought her for the purpose of releasing animals back into the wild? Had he done too many bad things in his life and now thought of increasing his merits by releasing animals?

(Chen Hong: Merit? The Merit Revolving Machine warns!)

"What do you think I should think?" Chen Hong asked with a strange look in his eyes.

"Yes, the books all say that humans use all sorts of self-inflicted suffering to win the favor of mermaids, moving them to tears and eventually tricking them onto land, only to turn their backs on them then."

The stories Kelly heard most often in her tribe were about girls from certain families being tricked ashore by humans and then living miserable lives. After being captured by the Sea Soul Mercenary Group, what Kelly saw and heard along the way made her realize that the stories told by her elders were not a joke!

Kelly hated the way those humans looked at her, as if they wanted to devour her whole.

Chen Hong was considered good; Kelly was only willing to communicate with him because she discovered that he didn't give her the disgusted looks that the others had. Otherwise, she would rather gather her strength and self-destruct with these humans than have any interaction with them.

"That's a really... cliché story," Chen Hong commented quietly. However, in his heart, he had already begun to notice the words "in the book" that Kelly had mentioned.

"Therefore, it's highly likely that the mermaid race has already developed a certain level of civilization in the ocean. However, due to the extreme lack of understanding between humans and sea spirit beasts, everyone's attention has been focused on the continent, while the ocean has been overlooked. If this is the case, then forming a friendly relationship with this mermaid who seems to have some mental issues wouldn't be a bad decision."

"I won't allow you to say that! Humans are inherently incredibly cunning and incredibly evil!" Kelly said, somewhat displeased with Chen Hong's assessment.

"Okay, I'm going to rest now. Be careful not to cause any trouble. I'll figure out how to get you away safely in the next few days."

Seeing that the conversation had reached its limit, Chen Hong stopped chatting with the other party, said goodbye, and walked outside.

After Chen Hong left, a hint of something else flashed across Kelly's face in the underwater iron cage, and a thoughtful look appeared in her sapphire blue eyes.

Is he lying to me, or is he just trying to lower my guard?

"O supreme, vast, and magnificent God of the Ocean, please grant guidance to your humble believer."

As always, the God of the Ocean does not respond to any of the sea spirit beast followers except those on Seagod Island.

Upon returning to his residence at the headquarters of the Technology Chamber of Commerce, Chen Hong immediately began the process of refining his faith.

He summoned the shimmering spirit crystal, activated the Sage's Ring to control variables, and used his martial spirit and spiritual power to lure the turbulent flow of faith in the sky. In the strange faith vision, the colorful lake hanging upside down in the sky, under Chen Hong's guidance, cascaded down like a silver river, forming a magnificent spectacle like a waterspout.

Unfortunately, this spectacle was destined to be appreciated only by Chen Hong.

Fortunately, only Chen Hong can appreciate it now.

On a solemn and sacred island in the vast ocean, at this moment, in the middle of the day, at the top of the magnificent buildings on the island's summit, a stunningly beautiful woman with a solemn expression and sacred posture, wearing a crown and holding a staff, slowly emerged from her meditative state, opened her serene and sacred eyes, and looked at the empty sea.

"Another day without any progress." The faint sigh dissipated in the breeze, and then her figure slowly vanished.

She is the High Priestess of the Sea God, a level 99 peerless (limit) Douluo, and the Sea God Douluo Poseidon.

In the majestic and magnificent Hall of Worship in Wuhun City, a group of people, with all their soul rings fully activated, sat in meditation and cultivated on the stone pillars carved with lifelike and exquisite martial soul patterns within the solemn and awe-inspiring hall.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that everyone present was a Title Douluo!

The handsome man at the head of the group frowned slightly. Behind him, the phantom of a holy six-winged angel unfolded, and outside the angel's phantom, layers of spirit rings began to slowly embed, with the first eight rings forming a mystical spirit disc with the angel's spirit.

Finally, when the last red spirit ring was inlaid behind the handsome man, the Douluo Martial Spirit Disc was perfectly formed, making his temperament even more ethereal and his aura even more profound.

"Everyone, I've made a breakthrough in Soul Ring Realm. Let me share my experience with you."

The handsome man, the High Priest of Angels, the peerless Douluo of level ninety-nine, the Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, addressed all the Douluo elders present.

The form of the Soul Ring had little effect on Qian Daoliu, but it gave him new insights into other areas. At the same time, he was also qualified to touch upon the meaning of the Soul Ring.

To perfectly understand Chen Hong's Soul Ring Intent Theory, even the 'half-baked' Qian Daoliu must follow Chen Hong's logical system and deduce the entire Soul Ring Intent Theory, instead of starting directly from the Soul Ring Intent.

Only by strictly following Chen Hong's logical system can Qian Daoliu and others more easily deduce higher realms.

The form of the Soul Ring (unpredictable techniques) and the meaning of the Soul Ring (combination of Soul Skills)—Qian Daoliu had a premonition that if he could master them, he would be able to go much further in the realm of level ninety-nine.

Perhaps he can defeat Tang Chen without divine intervention.
