On the water, the storm subsided.
A figure leaped out from the water and sped away.
It was Lin Ce.
Previously, after breaking through to the tenth level of his "Mountain-Breaking Fist," his strength increased by leaps and bounds, easily defeating the feng shui tornado that could trap martial artists of the same level in a desperate situation.
Although he was extremely dissatisfied with, even hateful of, the figure who had put him in this predicament, Lin Ce had no intention of arguing with the other party at this moment.
Even if he mastered the tenth level of "Mountain-Breaking Fist", it would only make him far stronger than other martial artists of the same level. Compared to that mysterious figure whose strength was unknown, he was probably still not qualified.
Shouting without sufficient strength is just useless barking, and Lin Ce didn't want to do that.
In fact, besides the "Mountain-Breaking Fist" on the tenth floor, he still gained other things this time.
The collapsing feng shui tornado, influenced by some certain characteristic, hurled itself at his body.
This is precisely the characteristic of the "Nightmare Body".
Wang Yizhou, who had recently joined the escort agency, brought this martial art to Lin Ce.
The martial art he obtained from the other party was extremely strange and completely different from his other martial arts.
At first, Lin Ce thought this martial art would only absorb the opponent's internal energy and qi, but he later discovered that it was more than that.
Whether it's metal, sand, gravel, or vegetation...
It seems to accept all comers.
Of course, even though it has already advanced to the ninth level (perfect) realm by relying on skill points, the ability of this "Black Nightmare Demon Body" to devour external objects is still not very strong.
In the process of fighting an enemy, it obviously cannot devour the enemy's complete weapon.
However, if Lin Ce, the master, were to shatter the opponent's weapon with a single punch, then this martial art would begin to feast upon itself.
This time is no different.
The previously incredibly powerful feng shui tornado was now powerless to engulf it.
But after Lin Ce defeated it, the scattered water droplets were absorbed by the "Black Nightmare Demon Body".
Lin Ce didn't even know where these things had been swallowed up.
All he knew was that as the "Nightmare Body" devoured more and more things, there would naturally be more feedback returning to his body.
For example, after absorbing metal fragments on one occasion, he vaguely felt a wisp of metal energy returning to his body, slightly increasing his physical strength.
Of course, once ordinary metal fragments have been consumed, the feedback that can be obtained is negligible.
Clearly, these ordinary iron products contain far too little "nutrients".
This time, after absorbing the remnants of the dissipated feng shui tornado, he felt his body throbbing violently, and the feedback he received was richer than ever before.
These water flows that form feng shui tornadoes actually contain a great deal of power.
The "Black Nightmare Body" devoured and digested this portion of power, leaving it within his body.
"Although I mainly rely on skill points and the 'United We Stand' effect to improve, this unexpected windfall from the 'Nightmare Body' is also quite good."
Lin Ce returned to Sihai Prefecture.
At this moment, the falcon that had ridden over earlier was nowhere to be seen.
It's unclear whether they successfully escaped or were trapped in the feng shui tornado.
He raced across the water.
With the immense power of his flawless body, every step he took sent a towering column of water dozens of feet high shooting into the sky behind him.
In a single step, he had already shot forward a hundred feet.
After cultivating "true qi", the lightness skill of other innate martial artists often becomes as ethereal as wisps of smoke, allowing them to traverse the air for a short period of time.
Lin Ce, however, still retained this powerful and agile style of light-footed movement.
At this speed, it shouldn't take too long to return to Sihai City.
At least, there's still plenty of time to go back and watch the enthronement ceremony of the peak master of Biyue Peak.
Then he saw a small boat.
A figure on the small boat saw him from afar and excitedly shouted.
"Brother Lin, haha, it's true that we meet again from all over the world. Come on board and let's get together."
Lin Ce didn't actually want to get on the ship.
However, Su Qianzhong on the opposite boat was shouting incessantly with his mouth wide open, which gave him a terrible headache.
At least, the person on the ship is no more terrifying than the monsters we encountered before, and nothing should happen once they board.
Lin Ce flew over and landed on the small boat.
Continuing to run on the water wasn't out of the question, but he was curious about Su Qianzhong's sudden appearance there.
"You're heading overseas, what are you going to do?"
Su Qianzhong smiled.
"Brother Lin, don't you know what I'm going to do? You're not being honest. You got advance notice and came here secretly."
Lin Ce remained silent.
He genuinely didn't know anything about the news.
He went to Haikou on his own because he had promised Yu Jiu that he would take her there.
Therefore, he was pursued and attacked by the Three Winds, and then besieged by the Feng Shui Tornado, which was truly a terrible experience.
Of course, this matter cannot be discussed in detail with Su Qianzhong.
"Alright, I don't know if you really don't know or you're pretending not to know, so I'll just be blunt."
Su Qianzhong, too lazy to play games, spoke directly:
"I came by boat to discuss the matter of the new peak master of Biyue Peak."
"The new peak master of Biyue Peak?"
Lin Ce was taken aback. "Then why aren't you going to Biyue Peak? What are you doing coming overseas?"
Su Qianzhong gave Lin Ce a deep look, and finally shook his head.
"It seems you really don't know. Here's what happened: it seems that the matter of the new peak master taking over Biyue Peak can't be agreed upon, so a top writer from Qianqiu Pavilion made a suggestion."
What suggestion?
"That is, both candidates for the peak master will come from overseas and each slay a demon. Whoever can slay the stronger demon will be able to take the position of peak master."
Lin Ce's heart skipped a beat, and Su Qianzhong had already pointed behind him.
"Look, the big ship in the distance behind us is the one that the two prospective peak masters are on. There are also many martial arts figures on board. To put it nicely, they've come to witness this, but in reality, they're just here to watch the show."
Lin Ce looked up and indeed saw a magnificent ship in the distance behind him.
"In other words, we have to wait until they finish this task before we can decide who the peak master is, and only then can the previous escort mission be considered truly complete?"
With this thought flashing through his mind, Lin Ce felt somewhat helpless.
For him, this escort mission was just too much trouble.
"It's one thing for them to travel by boat to witness, but what's going on with you sending a boat out ahead of time?"
Lin Ce couldn't quite understand why Su Qianzhong had separated from the main group.
Having gone through that experience with Yu Jiu, he was still quite shaken.
This sea area is far too dangerous.
Who knows how many powerful demons are lurking beneath the water?
Wandering aimlessly on the sea when you have nothing better to do is not much different from an ordinary person walking into a wolf's den.
Su Qianzhong, however, did not think so.
"Of course it's the thing I told you about before."
He looked at Lin Ce with a smile.
"Brother Lin, there's no time like the present. Today is the perfect opportunity, so let me broaden your horizons. I'm sure you'll change your mind after seeing it."
