Chapter 713: Training a Ravenous Wolf
In the night sea, the Vegetable Pirates and the First Navy Fleet detachment were fighting fiercely.
Cong Mang took the lead, holding a gold level long rod in a truculent manner.
Bei Jia stepped forward bravely, draped in heavy armor to intercept Cong Mang.
The two gold levels were playing tough, not retreating from this desperate struggle.
At that moment, the big guy, eyes emitting blue light, roared as he jumped onto the deck.
He was already under the fishman youngster’s Divine Descent. His consciousness curled up as he calmly watched his father help him.
“Xiao Guai, experience this carefully, I am here to teach you how to fight.” The fishman youngster secretly transmitted to the big guy.
The big guy was very scared and weakly agreed.
A moment later, the fishman youngster took control of the big guy and transferred iron level battle qi to his legs and feet.
With this battle qi boost, the big guy’s jumping ability rose dramatically!
The big guy jumped a few hundred meters and landed precisely on a kingdom warship.
The kingdom’s navy was in the middle of a firefight, when suddenly an alarm rang loudly. They raised their eyes to see a shadow covering the full moon in the sky.
The huge shadow suddenly descended in a massive gust of wind.
Ding!
The big guy was like a boulder toss from a catapult that smashed into the warship’s afterdeck.
The afterdeck immediately caved in, causing the big guy’s lower half to get stuck, in addition, because of the big guy’s weight, the entire ship slightly tilted.
The navies had gone through fine drills, and after a momentary confusion, they gathered together to encircle the big guy.
The big guy roared repeatedly, brandishing both arms and stepping out. From the aft to the front, he left a complete mess wherever he went.
The navies that dared to openly obstruct the big guy had their bones smashed and muscles torn as they were tossed aside.
The deck was constantly being ruptured, and smashed blocks were being flung everywhere.
None could stop the big guy’s charge, the warship’s mast was snapped by him, and the ship house was penetrated when he collided with it.
The big guy curled up consciousness shivered as he witnessed the dreadful scene before him. His corporeal body was under the fishman youngster’s control and became a deadly weapon on the battlefield.
In less than a minute, he had killed his way from the aft to the bow, tore the first deck in half, and left behind a huge gorge in the ship.
The navies suffered disastrous casualties and corpses littered the deck.
Clang.
The catastrophic destruction caused the hull to violently shake, and it finally toppled over completely.
“Amazing!”
“He obviously just got promoted to the silver level, yet he is stronger than most gold levels.”
“When he stabilizes his silver level, his constitution will be substantially increased as a result, at the time, it will surpass my dragonman form.”
Although the big guy’s body was weaker than the dragonman youngster’s body right now, the fishman youngster could already sense the future clearly.
The warship the big guy devastated lost all fighting strength.
The fishman youngster was not addicted to killing, and immediately had the big guy jump onto another navy warship.
Under his control, the big guy wreaked havoc all over the place, throwing the navy into complete confusion and utter suffering.
Cong Mang and Bei Jia were at a stalemate.
The Vegetable Pirates were outnumbered by the navy and were at a slight disadvantage.
But the big guy’s lively performance allowed the pirates to quickly suppress the navy.
“Where did that small giant come from?” The navies had incessant headaches but couldn’t discern anything about the big guy.
The big guy, Hong Zhu, and Da Dou were imbued with deception divine spells, and when observed by outsiders, the big guy was a strange small giant.
“We have to get rid of that troublesome guy!” The navies quickly came to a consensus.
Taking advantage of the big guy being on a damaged warship, they used the cannons on the surrounding warships to rapidly open fire on the big guy.
Alchemy cannons – Snow Ice Light Cannons!
A large amount of honey snow filled these cannons, then an alchemy formation rapidly compressed the honey snow into a pure white beam of light that was discharged.
Perfectly straight and thick white beams of light accurately shot towards the big guy.
Under the fishman youngster’s control, the big guy moved extremely sharply, dodging left and right while simultaneously moving his hands and feet about.
When these light beams hit the deck, they instantly turned into icicles.
The few that hit the big guy caused his body to shake.
The fishman youngster had no choice but to deplete a large amount of iron battle qi to withstand the light cannons.
Iron level battle qi was severely depleted, but that was precisely what the fishman youngster wanted. Very quickly, he extracted newly advanced battle qi from every place in the big guy’s body.
Because the big guy had been promoted to the silver level, his new battle qi was not iron level, but rather the qualitatively different silver level.
After the big guy gradually possessed silver level battle qi, his combat strength rose again by a lot.
This time, the navies had even fewer ways of dealing with him.
As the big guy’s destruction grew more serious, Bei Jia anxiously fumed.
He knew that if he disregarded the big guy, this naval battle would be lost. He willingly endured several thumps from Cong Mang, coughing out blood as he attacked towards the big guy.
“Father, bad guy, very scary!” The big guy’s soul shouted in a flurry.
The fishman youngster’s eyes nevertheless lit up, “Xiao Guai, this is the most valuable part of this real combat. Don’t be afraid, in the future you will be even scarier than him.”
He maneuvered the big guy into a counterattack and didn’t retreat, instead deciding to attack Bei Jia.
Bei Jia wore heavy armor and was a gold level, he was not someone the newly promoted silver level big guy could smash away.
Bei Jia attacked, immediately suppressing the big guy and alleviating the battlefield situation.
Cong Mang wanted to rush over to interfere, but the fishman youngster immediately transmitted that he was to withdraw.
The fishman youngster didn’t empower the big guy either, instead he only used the big guy’s fighting skills to contend with Bei Jia.
After fighting for a few rounds, Bei Jia beat and badly battered the big guy.
The big guy’s constitution was very strong; he could quickly recover and was tough.
Under the expert Bei Jia’s suppression, the fishman youngster controlled the big guy more and more skillfully, the constant experience and practice from this solidifying the big guy’s combat martial arts.
The big guy’s outstanding constitution, paired up with the dragonman youngster’s extraordinarily exceptional fighting and learning talent allowed the big guy’s performance on the battlefield to improve at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Bei Jia was also experiencing how horrifying his enemy’s progression rate was and was secretly apprehensive.
He took a deep breath and eliminated all thoughts that this was a fluke. Now attaching actual importance to the big guy, he didn’t hesitate to spend battle qi and use powerful battle skills.
The fishman youngster chose to scurry away from these sharp attacks.
If he couldn’t dodge, then he’d use a defensive battle skill.
Bei Jia displayed his greatest firepower, and the big guy repeatedly retreated in defeat coughing out a lot of blood, with several of his ribs being broken too.
Seeing the crucial moment about to arrive, the fishman youngster called out to Cong Mang, the latter would stop Bei Jia as he healed the big guy with a divine spell.
After a few seconds under the divine light, the big guy fully recovered and his combat strength rose back to what it was at the beginning of the battle.
“They actually have a cleric?!” When Bei Jia saw this, his eyeballs nearly swelled from their sockets. Then after his shock, he felt a strong chill spreading from the bottom of his heart.
Such a powerful healing divine spell meant the pirate ships had at least one silver level cleric.
If it was a one on one, Bei Jia wouldn’t be afraid of a clergyman. But this was reality, and the gold level Cong Mang was reaping devastation while the strange small silver level giant was very tough and was improving extremely rapidly.
“This fight cannot continue, withdraw!” Bei Jia decisively ordered the retreat.
But how could he retreat?
The fishman youngster personally acted.
A second later, the sea billowed up and rolled a myriad of ocean spray.
The seawater formed a whirlpool that sucked in the warships, making progress difficult.
Divine spells by nature were powerful, and with the terrifying amplification of a god level bloodline, he instantly altered the battlefield environment. An ordinary divine spell in the fishman youngster’s hands became an awe-inspiring battlefield level power!
The navy’s retreat failed, and their battle intent slumped. Bei Jia decided to stay behind, wanting to cover the navy’s retreat.
The thought was laudable.
It really was touching.
After a half hour, the curtain closed on this battle.
The Vegetable Pirates seized total victory, encircling and subduing the vast majority of the warships, with only two escaping, as the fishman youngster had ordered they be allowed to leave.
Bei Jia had been captured alive and was carried over to the fishman youngster by the big guy.
Seeing the gold level fishman youngster and Da Dou, Bei Jia looked startled, then turned dark.
The fishman youngster tried interrogation, but Bei Jia was a model soldier, tough and fearless of death.
The fishman youngster didn’t want to humiliate him, Bei Jia’s decision to stay behind was something he admired.
“Put him into custody, don’t dock his food and water, and be properly hospitable to him. He is a very good sparring partner.” Ordered the fishman youngster.
Bei Jia wore heavy armor and specialized in defense. He had a gold level sea horse mount and was a heavy cavalier.
The fishman youngster planned on keeping him as the big guy’s training partner.
He undid Divine Descent, and the big guy once again took control of his own body.
“Hurts, hurts, hurts!” The big guy cried out, the wounds all over his body conveyed a strong sense of presence.
“These wounds were intentionally left behind by your father.” The fishman youngster smiled, placating his son.
“You need to feel this pain, adapt to this pain, and allow your body to remember it all so you can grow faster.”
The big guy was weeping in pain, “But Father, I, I can’t stand it.”
“Make an extra effort!” The fishman youngster bit his teeth, hardened his heart, and lightly slapped the big guy’s shoulder, sincerely and earnestly educating, “These are small injuries, far from what can kill you in battle.”
The big guy thought to himself, “I don’t want to fight like this one bit.”
But seeing his father’s hopeful gaze, he closed his mouth and stopped crying out in pain.
The fishman youngster sighed to himself.
The future could not be guessed, and compared to the huge powers, the survivors were still too weak. Every member had to grow, and substantially!
The big guy was trained like this because the big guy’s bloodline was very high, and it had a lot of space to unearth.
“This time I strive for the Dueling Godhead, and danger lurks on every side. If in the future something happens to me…I hope Xiao Guai will be able to survive better.”
To the side, Da Dou had witnessed everything.
He kept his eye on the big guy and endorsed the fishman youngster’s way of handling him.
This was the world of the strong.
The giant’s world was the same.
Everyone wanted to become strong! Da Dou had accepted this idea from childhood.
Da Dou didn’t think the big guy was miserable, on the contrary he envied the big guy’s treatment. He knew what the big guy’s circumstances were, and the fishman youngster’s training method was simply tailor-made for him, it really fit him!
Before leaving, the fishman youngster put into place some arrangements.
“Transmit this letter to the Ice Sculpture Kingdom, say our Vegetable Pirates took Bei Jia captive.
“Let them raise a ransom.”
“Are the Brambles Pirates nearby?” He pointed a finger at an ocean map and asked.
“Yes.” The Vegetable Pirates’ newly promoted first mate promptly replied, “Their pirate commander was killed by Feng Lian, and the just elevated gold level is very prudent. Not long ago, they invited us to combine our forces and plunder White Mist Harbor.”
White Mist Harbor was a small sized harbor.
The fishman youngster smiled and clenched his hands together, “Converge with them, and seize that opportunity to annex them.”
“We are a little short on people, right?”
This was the statement of a pirate!
Those words caused everyone’s eyes to light up.
Everyone looked at the fishman youngster, all thinking: was the fishman expert before them originally a veteran ocean bandit?
Cong Mang licked his lips even more, he stood up with excitement and asked him to be assigned to this, loudly shouting he wanted to go with the ships.
The fishman youngster calmly listened for a while, then suddenly slapped Cong Mang into the air.
Plop.
Cong Mang coughed up blood and spat out a tooth. After being thrown to the floor, he lay on the floor for a while
Or perhaps one could say, he didn’t dare to crawl back up.
The fishman youngster’s eyes glinted callously as he leisurely asked, “Do you listen to me, or do I listen to you?”
Cong Mang promptly kneeled, his forehead on the floor, “Of course I’ll listen to you, boss!”
His agitated heart had been quelled instantly by the fishman youngster’s heartless slap.
The young man’s power made Cong Mang even more obedient.
The pirates were the ravenous wolves of the ocean, and one could not be lenient on recently tamed wolves.
Baring your teeth?
Even if it was baring another’s teeth, that kind of attitude would offend the owner.
I didn’t let you bare your teeth!
You will listen to me.
After returning from the Ocean Mother Nest, the fishman youngster had an increasingly subtle grasp of human nature. While training the big guy, he was simultaneously training the ravenous wolf Cong Mang.
The pirates kept quiet out of fear, thoroughly recognizing who really was in charge.
As for Cong Mang?
It had to be said that this was the best way to deal with him!
Through Divine Domain Descent, the fishman youngster took Cong Mang from the ocean and returned to the Ice Sculpture Capital.
Things weren’t finished just yet.
He secretly notified Tripleblade in Snow Bird Harbor that he was to contact Snow Bird Harbor City Lord and asked him to help in a small favor – to spread a piece of news.
The news was that Long Meng really admired Long Fu. He personally taught the latter and also gifted them a battle skill and an alchemy item.
