Unspeakable bubbles

The little girl urged, "Shall we start here, or go somewhere else?"

"Go to the center of Hell Island; that's where it works best."

Leading the little girl to their usual training ground, Old Ghost cleared his mind of all distractions.

'It's been a few days since I've practiced; let me familiarize myself with the routine again.'

Thinking this, the old ghost closed his eyes.

As his breathing rate changed, the elderly man suddenly entered a meditative state.

Old Ghost stood there motionless, while Bubble watched with great interest.

In her eyes, the two extremely different types of 'qi' entered the old man's body and then followed completely different paths.

After circulating through the old man's body once each, the two streams of energy converged at one point.

Yin and Yang counteract each other, Yin and Yang return to oneness...

..................................................................

After a long while, the old ghost opened his eyes.

He immediately noticed the bubble staring intently at him, and a sense of satisfaction welled up inside him.

'It seems my external cultivation method is quite effective; even a super-strong expert didn't underestimate it.'

"You've been waiting impatiently, haven't you? Let's begin now..."

"Oh!"

Before the old ghost could finish speaking, the eager young girl began her cultivation.

"Uh, I haven't taught you anything yet..."

Old Ghost's words abruptly stopped; he was horrified to discover—

It seemed as if a black hole had appeared inside the little girl's body. With each breath she took, the yin and yang energies of the entire Hell Island surged wildly towards the bubble!

The old man's heart skipped a beat. If he did this, he might just be going to self-destruct!

Old Ghost was terrified out of his wits; the self-destruction of a super strong individual would probably level the entire Hell Island.

"Wait, wait a minute, stop!"

"What's wrong, grandpa?"

The little girl stopped her cultivation and looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.

Seeing the bubbles expand and contract freely, the old man's hair stood on end.

"How...how did you learn that?"

"You'll get the hang of it if you just watch."

"..."

The two stared at each other for a long while before the old man sighed and said, "It's alright, you, you can continue."

"Oh."

The old man looked at Bubble with complicated emotions, surprisingly feeling no jealousy whatsoever.

Such talent goes beyond being described simply as 'genius'.

'It's simply...it's a monster!'

Perhaps only such talent can explain why Bubble was able to enter the realm of transcendence at such a young age.

At this moment, the old ghost completely forgot that he had just recently doubted the little girl's human identity.

Section 303, Chapter 302: The Deep Sea Priest

"You got up pretty early!"

Rhodes, his hair disheveled, greeted Old Ghost and pointed to the tree beside them: "There's no one in the tree. Do you know where Bubble went?"

"He ran into the shadows, saying he was going to check on the battle situation."

Rhodes looked around but didn't see the little girl.

"Stop looking, it's over there."

Old Ghost gestured with his lip: "Today her shadow turned into the shape of a tree. Look, doesn't this tree have two shadows?"

"It really is true!"

Rhodes asked with curiosity, "Old ghost, do you know what's on the other side of the shadow?"

"Want to know?"

"Yes, I do!" Rhodes nodded vigorously.

"Why don't you just jump down and see for yourself?"

"..."

"Old Ghost, are you in a bad mood?" Although Rhodes used a question, his tone was very certain.

"No." The old man frowned slightly.

"We've known each other for so many years, are you still trying to hide it from me?"

Rhodes probed, "Could it be that Bubble didn't approve of your external cultivation method, so you're unhappy?"

"Hmph, even the strongest experts would have to give my cultivation technique a second glance!"

"Haha, I knew it. The trump card of our Hell Island's number one expert can't be too bad."

After laughing heartily, Rhodes changed his tone: "Could it be... that someone took your most treasured possession but is unwilling to give you any pointers?"

"Bubble doesn't seem like that kind of person!"

Don't make wild guesses.

Old Ghost quickly shook his head: "She only came into contact with my technique last night. How can she instruct me when she hasn't been familiar with it for more than a few days?"

"Alright, it's not that Bubble looks down on your technique, nor that she doesn't want to guide you..."

"So, why are you sulking so early in the morning?"

"I already said I'm not angry!"

"It's just that seeing others cultivate for a day in a day and achieve what I do in a year is quite disheartening," the old ghost said dejectedly.

"..."

This old man must have been hit too hard.

Rhodes shook his head, but didn't offer any words of comfort to the old man.

He knew perfectly well that if this person who cultivated so quickly wasn't the super strong Bubble but some other weakling, the old man would have been so jealous that he would have killed him to silence him.

"The fish that Bubble caught last time have all been eaten, Old Ghost, it's your turn this time."

"I know……"

"Hey, are you done eating the fish? I remember it was a really big one."

The little girl appeared out of nowhere and said in surprise, "Such a big fish, it would take a very long time for one person to eat it."

"There's no way around it, there are too many people on the island, and most importantly..."

Rhodes patted his big belly: "There's another big eater over here."

"Let Bubble go this time too!"

The little girl volunteered, "Bubble wants to catch fish again. The fish last time was a bit ugly, so this time I must catch a pretty one!"

"It would be great if Bubble wanted to go, but isn't this going to be a bit too much trouble for you?"

Rhodes hesitated before saying, "Theoretically, everyone should take turns going."

"It's okay, Bubble thinks slacking off is fun and not troublesome at all."

"Okay, then."

"By the way, Bubble, you hate campfires, so I'll grill the fish and bring it to you this time," Rhodes said casually.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Rhodes!"

........................................................................

Rolling up her trousers, the little girl easily made her way to the west side of Hell Island.

After successfully catching fish for the first time, Bubble no longer needed anyone to accompany her.

but……

"I wonder what Bubble will touch today."

"The two-headed fish tasted good last time. I hope I can find another one like it."

"I'm so tired of eating fish, I'd love to find a sea turtle instead!"

"Hmm, I still want to eat the fish from last time."

The idle inmates ran to the shore, where they gathered together and openly watched the bubbles.

"I've been eating fish for so long, it would be great if I could find a crab."

Rhodes licked his lips: "It would be even better if it were a female crab; just thinking about the taste of crab roe makes my mouth water!"

"Didn't Bubble say he wanted to catch a beautiful fish? Your crab chances are probably over." Old Ghost poured cold water on Rhodes's hopes.

“What fish in the Dead Sea are pretty?” Rhodes immediately retorted.

"He crouched down!"

"I'm slacking off!"

"Damn, I think I touched it!"

The words of the crowd made Rhodes give up arguing with the old ghost, and he quickly looked at Bubble.
