He was especially skilled in dealing with various agility system soul masters, and his judgement was amazing.
The icy snowstorm in the air was his controlling ability which he was most skilled with. It covered a large area.
This scout today was truly troublesome. He was adept at escaping in the air. Those concussion rounds were the property of the Sea God Army, and they did not come cheap. They had already fired more than twenty shots and still could not capture him. Thus, he had to see to the matter personally.
‘No matter how cunning you are, there’s no way that I’d let you slip between my fingers.’
The icy blue color of his eyes intensified. His Icy Snowstorm was completely unleashed. It had a certain ability to seal off spaces.
However, something surprising happened just then. A bluish radiance suddenly rose from below.
This blue light appeared out of nowhere, coming straight up from the ocean’s surface.
Xie Xie thought he had been beaten. Suddenly, he felt the cold temperature around his body start to rise considerably. The snowflakes which had sealed off all his escape routes suddenly melted as if they were hit with an intense ray of sunshine.
“Into the sea,” came a familiar voice.
Xie Xie was overjoyed. He seized the opportunity without hesitation and plunged into the ocean like a cannonball.
‘What had just happened?’
The Icy Snow Battle God was stunned. He instinctively pointed at the sea’s surface with his right finger. A glowing beam of extreme cold chased after Xie Xie.
However, a huge wave rose from the sea. The wave was clearly out of place on the calm surface. It engulfed Xie Xie’s body and quickly pulled him into the sea. The Icy Snow Battle God’s attack missed.
“Find him! Lock onto him with the deep sea torpedoes!” When he saw that his catch had got away from him, the Icy Snow Battle God was infuriated. He immediately gave the order via his military communication tool which he brought with him everywhere.
Underwater sonar and radars were deployed. Heat detectors and soul power detectors were also activated to search below the water’s surface.
However, the strange thing was that when all their searching equipment had been activated, they did not discover anything. The figure that had just appeared before them moments ago seemed to have been completely devoured by the sea. No trace of him was left behind.
‘How is this possible?’
When the Icy Snow Battle God received feedback from his subordinates, his eyes were filled with shock.
He had faced many agility system soul masters in his life, but this was his first time facing such a situation. This was unbelievable!
‘That wave was clearly not the agility system soul master’s ability, so must be another person cooperating with him underwater. That person is capable of controlling the sea? Is that person from the Star Luo Empire?’
Although they would be discovered by the Star Luo Empire sooner or later, the Federal Fleet did not mind, since there was nothing they could do even if they noticed them. However, the longer they could stay hidden, the lower the price they would pay for this war. When the Icy Snow Battle God saw that the scout had slipped away from under his nose, he felt extremely angered.
“Come back, someone from headquarters is here,” a deep voice sounded from the communicator.
When he heard this voice, the Icy Snow Battle God’s anger was instantly replaced with reverence as he said respectfully, “Understood.”
He did not fly back to the battleship which he was in charge of. Instead, he flew toward the largest mothership.
The mothership’s light barrier shined and an opening was made through which he passed through.
The Icy Snow Battle God had come directly to the third army’s command post.
“Reporting in!” he shouted from the door as he stood erect.
“Come in,” came the reply calmly.
The Icy Snow Battle God strode into the room. He stood before an old man with three general’s stars on his shoulders and made an extremely neat military salute.
“Hall Master, I have failed in my duty. I wasn’t able to capture that annoying fly,” the Icy Snow Battle God said looking disgruntled.
The Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie waved his hand in dismissal. “You’re not to blame. He had help from someone powerful. I just didn’t expect the Star Luo Empire to have such a person. When did it happen?”
“What do you mean” the Icy Snow Battle God asked, puzzled.
Chen Xinjie replied, “I couldn’t sense who was cooperating with the scout. Then, when I used my spiritual power to search the sea, it rejected me. It’s my first time having such an experience.”
“What?” the Icy Snow Battle God exclaimed with shock.
He was standing before the Battle God Hall’s Hall Master, the Boundless Sea Douluo, whom he worshipped blindly. From the day he joined the Battle God Hall, the Boundless Sea Douluo was his greatest idol, beyond compare.
He knew exactly how powerful the Boundless Sea Douluo was, as his martial soul was the Boundless Sea! This was an inheritance of the Sea Douluo. He naturally had a great affinity with the seas. It could be said that although the Boundless Sea Douluo was not yet a quasigod, he was but a step away. If the battlefield was on the sea, even a quasigod-ranked expert might not be a match for him.
With his intimate relationship with the seas, it was unimaginable for him to be rejected by the seas.
‘How did this happen?’
It was truly unbelievable.
Chen Xinjie had a slight frown, “I don’t know why, but the feeling of rejection isn’t comfortable. Although it was only for an instant, the person you’ve been pursuing also vanished after that. I attempted to search again, but he was already nowhere to be found. The natural shockwave produced by the sea’s water element interfered with all our detectors. This lasted for about five seconds, after which our detectors returned to normal. However, we were unable to locate that person anymore.”
The Icy Snow Battle God drew a deep breath. “Hall Master, how should we deal with this?”
The Boundless Sea Douluo smiled drily. “Let’s wait and see. I want to know when the Star Luo Empire acquired such a powerful person. In terms of asking the seas for help, I think he’s my equal. I knew that the Star Luo Empire had more than just a single Limit Douluo. The more capable our opponent is, the more meaningful for us, right?”
As the Battle God Hall’s Hall Master, his lust for combat had never diminished even in his old age. As one of the Hawk Faction’s leaders, he had always had a liking for war.
“Convey my orders. We’ll advance with greater speed. Since we’ve been found out, there’s no need to conceal anything anymore. Proceed with the plan. Conquer the Star Luo Empire’s seaside city and establish a bridgehead.”
“Understood!”
…
The world was spinning. That was how Xie Xie felt.
After he was engulfed by the waves, he noticed that he had lost all control of his body. There seemed to be a unique power which was pulling him forward at a blinding speed. The light around him had dimmed. He did not know where he was, and his body was spinning from being pulled. However, he was known for his agility, so he could still keep himself from feeling dizzy.
He was still feeling extremely calm. This was because he could definitely trust the voice that he had heard moments before. That voice was quite familiar to him. They had been together for a dozen years. Even if he mistook Yuanen Yehui’s voice, he would not mistake his.
Although Xie Xie did not understand how he came about such an ability and saved him in such a manner, he decided to trust him anyway. After all, this was not his first or second time creating a miracle.
Tang Wulin controlled everything silently. In truth, when he ordered the sea’s water element to make a move with his spiritual power, he did not expect that he could manage such a feat.
At that moment, he also clearly felt the Boundless Sea Douluo’s spiritual power.
The Boundless Sea Douluo was indeed powerful. When his spiritual power entered the sea, he had nearly snatched the controls of the nearby seas from Tang Wulin. Also, his spiritual power appeared as if he intended to give chase.
Fortunately, the sea had reacted on its own and severed his connection. It also protected Xie Xie, just as Tang Wulin had ordered, and had brought Xie Xie to him.
Everything happened too quickly. It was so fast that he had no time to take it all in.
‘Is this the power Father has left me?’ Although Tang Wulin was not an actual Sea God, he had a feeling that the sea would instinctively protect him as long as he was here.
