Soon, Xu Que got busy preparing for tomorrow.
In case he was disturbed, he lied to Liu Jingning and Buttface and told them that he was going to build a ship. Then he hid himself and began to put his dirty plan into action.
Xu Que bought a surfboard from his System market and threw it directly into the sea, where it was immediately crushed.
The Upflowing Sea is very destructive!
Just as Liu Jingning had said, to sail on the Upflowing Sea, Xu Que had to made a strong ship and strengthen it with some sort of restriction incantations.
Therefore, Xu Que decided to hide himself from Liu Jingning and Buttface and secretly bought many things from the System market. He also strengthened them with restriction incantations.
Since the System had already been updated to version 5.0, anything sold in the market could be automatically strengthened with the restriction incantation. However, it took around 500 Acting Tough Points to set one restriction incantation, which was rather expensive.
Although the restriction incantation of the System was not that advanced, it was still more than enough to counter the Upflowing Sea.
That night, Xu Que spent almost 10,000 Acting Tough Points, which accounted for more than half of all the Acting Tough Points he had. In the end, he only had around 2,000 left.
…
Soon, the sun came up and a new day began.
All the cultivators around the Upflowing Sea had worked very hard for a whole night to prepare for the sailing.
The time for the battle in the sea had finally arrived. Since the winning Factions could get more Living Holy Water, all the cultivators took the battle very seriously.
Some cultivators from Influential Factions were still busy making preparations for the sailing, while others were secretly finding allies.
After all, once they stepped into the Upflowing Sea, it would not be easy to turn around.
The battle was going to last for about two months, and during this time the sea was at its calmest. This did not mean that there would be no waves. Instead, all the waves moved in the same direction so there were no vortexes or random currents.
Once two months went by, the sea would become very turbulent, countless currents and vortexes would appear, and anyone or any boat would be devoured once drawn to them.
Therefore, during this period when the sea was comparatively calm, all the cultivators would sail in the Upflowing Sea to get the Living Holy Water with the belief they could emerge safely.
Xu Que also believed this, so he spent a huge amount of Acting Tough Points buying things from the System market. He planned to take this opportunity to act tough and to get lots of Acting Tough Points. Also, he wanted to sail across the Upflowing Sea and go to the third floor.
“Little Que Que, are you really going to the sea? Do you really think you can come back safely?” Liu Jingning asked Xu Que as soon as he returned.
She was very worried about Xu Que and believed that he had not realized the seriousness of the battle.
Once Xu Que stepped into the sea, he not only had to fight against the sea, but he had to also fight against other cultivators. Once he was surrounded by other cultivators, his boat would probably collide with others’ and sink.
Hearing this, Xu Que smiled with confidence. “Don’t worry, as long as you are with me, you will be fine!”
Liu Jingning sighed. “Then show me your boat?”
“Here!” Xu Que said while taking out a surfboard and holding it vertically next to him.
Seeing this, both Liu Jingning and Buttface were stunned.
A board?! You spent a whole night preparing and a board is all you’ve got?!
“This is my boat!” Xu Que said proudly.
Liu Jingning could not believe her ears and was about to faint.
Buttface rolled his eyes and shook his head.
“Are you insane?! You call a board a boat? Even if the Upflowing Sea is still an Upflowing River, you can not possibly cross it with a board!”
“Don’t be daft! This is called a surfboard, which is meant for sailing!” Xu Que raised his head proudly.
Suddenly, Xu Que heard Duan Jiude’s laughing. “Oh my goodness! Look at him, look how stupid he is! He thinks he can cross the sea with a board! Do you want to commit suicide?”
Xu Que did not pay attention to him and smiled at Liu Jingning.
“Young lady, you frown too much. Relax. Otherwise, people will think I’ve been bullying you.”
Hearing this, Liu Jingning stared at him. “Who said I am worried about you?! I am only concerned about my own safety. The board is such a tiny one, how can two of us possibly stand on it together?”
“I mean I will sail with this board, not you. Once I manage to get in, I will send someone to pick you two up!”
“No! I can’t allow you go alone!” Liu Jingning frowned, not believing that Xu Que could manage to get someone to pick them up once he got in.
Most importantly, the board is too small. With the protection of the restriction incantation, even if the board is not be shredded by the waves, it could be flipped over at any moment.
I can’t possibly allow him to go alone on that!
Hearing this, Duan Jiude was terrified. He had promised his master that he would keep Xu Que safe, so he had to keep Xu Que alive.
“Young man, think twice before you do anything! I know you have offended my master, which means that you will be killed soon, but really, there is no need for you to kill yourself in the sea. Before my master comes, you can still live for a while.”
“Nonsense!” Xu Que said angrily. “Yes, I have offended your master, but she has also offended me, so she is the one who should jump into the sea!”
Hearing this, Duan Jiude sneered. “Young man, I have to say that you are really courageous! You know my master is a tough figure, you think she has no idea that you are speaking ill of her?!”
“So what?! I am proud of myself! I am a vain man!” Xu Que said loudly. But in fact, he was feeling a bit scared.
Can she actually hear what I just said?! That woman is really frightening!
“Anyway, once she comes back to this world, you are doomed!” It seemed Duan Jiude couldn’t wait to see Xu Que die.
Xu Que turned around and saw that some boats had already entered the water. Among them, there were a few rather huge ones that looked very grand.
On one particular boat, there were around thirty cultivators standing on the deck.
Seeing this, many people started shouting.
“This is the Jiang Family’s boat!”
“I knew it! A big family like this would never disappoint us. Still, I never thought the Jiang Family would be able to make such a huge boat with Floating-Cloud Wood.”
“The Floating-Cloud Wood will never sink and is full of the Wood Element Spiritual Qi which can help them regenerate their True Core Strength faster.”
“They look so ambitious. Judging by the boat and all the restriction incantations they have set up, they must have spent a few years preparing for today!”
“I am sure they’ll be listed in the top three!”
“By the way, the boat of the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe from the South Continent is also very good! Their boat is made from the Bai Li Wood which is as hard as a diamond!”
“Look at the boat of the Dragon Tribe from the North Continent, it is made of a dragon’s bone!”
“My goodness! The bone is thousands of years old. I can’t believe they would take it out!”
“Obviously, they also want to get into the top three!”
…
Seeing the boats in the distance, Duan Jiude laughed. “It seems the battle this year will be much fiercer!”
Liu Jingning was shocked by the scene. Compared with those boats, the boat of her Faction was completely overshadowed.
Even so, Xu Que’s so-called surfboard was worse.
She turned around to see if Xu Que was still as confident as before, only to find that he had already disappeared.
“Where is he?” she asked in surprise.
Right at this moment, Duan Jiude shouted, “Holy sh*t! Are you crazy?! If you die, I am also going to be killed by my master!”
Liu Jingning saw Xu Que standing in the shore.
“Crikey!” She hurriedly ran over to him.
Seeing this, everyone present was shocked, in particular the Holy Sons and Holy Virgins on aboard.
“What is he going to do?!”
“He has a board, does he plan to use it to get on our boat?”
“I don’t think so, that board is full of restriction incantations. Is it possible that he wants to sail with that board?”
“Is he insane?! My god!”
Someone burst into laughter.
Even Dong Genji and the cultivators from the Heaven Horn Ox Tribe were stunned.
In fact, they had all figured Xu Que would prepare very well for today. They never thought he would sail with a board.
“Look!” a cultivator exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost. “He’s about to take off his clothes!”
Xu Que dropped the board on the shore and faced the sea. Then he began to take off his clothes, as if no one was around.
It is only right to get into the water without any clothes on.
