Chapter 126 - Entering the Sea
Everyone's eyes are wide open as they look at this shocking scene.
Most importantly, Loong Chen's huge foot was still moving.
“Picking up done! Obtained Empirical Value*700000.”
“Picking up done! Obtained Strength attribute*3500.”
“Picking up done! Obtained Speed attribute*3800.”
Upon hearing the system notification ringing in his mind, Loong Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
The empirical value and Attribute Points that had dropped indicated the demise of the Level 6 High Rank Evolver with certainty.
There was absolutely no room for doubt in Loong Chen's mind.
Suddenly, Loong Chen shifted his attention to the remaining trio of enigmatic individuals.
“Withdraw! Scatter!”
One of the mysterious figures shouted, prompting the other three to charge in different directions.
“None of you will evade capture!”
Loong Chen retorted coldly, silently issuing his command.
“System, enhance my Earth Superpower.”
“Expend 16,000 empirical value. Elevate Earth Superpower to Level 2.”
“Utilized 32,000 empirical value. Earth Superpower upgraded to level 3.”
“Expenditure: 512,000 empirical value. Earth Superpower ascended to level 7.”
After expending a million empirical values, Loong Chen successfully upgraded his Earth Superpower to level 7.
A level 7 Earth Superpower proved more than sufficient to halt the escape of the three remaining mysterious figures.
“Earth Domain, Gravity Field!”
Long Chen bellowed, and a tremendous pressure descended from the heavens, immobilizing the mysterious figures who had just fled a short distance.
The overwhelming force pinned them in place, rendering them motionless.
“I've said it before, none of you can evade justice.”
Loong Chen revealed a chilling grin. Taking advantage of the lingering Titan Power, he employed Teleportation to appear beside one of the enigmatic men.
A colossal fist, resembling a small hill, descended with crushing force.
Even the mightiest Level 6 High Rank warrior among them couldn't endure a single blow from Loong Chen, let alone the others.
With just one punch, he knocked down one mysterious man, and within moments, the remaining three met their demise.
This replenished the one million empirical values he had recently expended.
“Young friend, there are no words to describe you adequately.”
Aaron approached Loong Chen, his expression complex, after Loong Chen had returned to his original form.
“You are remarkably young. Your medical skills are exceptional, and your strength is awe-inspiring. Honestly, among my peers, I've never encountered someone like you. I'm reluctant to see you go.”
“In the presence of a true expert, I'm still relatively weak,” Loong Chen sighed bitterly, recalling how he had been forced to teleport to the western continent by Murong Fu.
Thoughts of Murong Fu filled him with a cold resolve.
The current Loong Chen was no longer the same as before; he was entirely confident in his ability to face a King Level warrior.
If Murong Fu were still alive, Loong Chen swore to take his life with his own hands!
Following that, Loong Chen assisted Aaron in dealing with the aftermath. He cleaned up the remaining survivors of the three families and apprehended Abby.
Abby was, after all, Aaron's only son, and he remained imprisoned in the dungeon until he comprehended the gravity of his actions.
Loong Chen refrained from interfering, as it was a matter involving another family.
After settling everything, Aaron provided Loong Chen with a well-crafted ship.
Loong Chen bid farewell to Aaron and Amy before departing Polish City, leaving behind the two with reluctant gazes, especially Amy.
On the city gate, Amy's eyes welled with tears as she watched Loong Chen's receding figure, overcome by profound sadness.
Beside her, Aaron sighed. As Amy's father, he could discern her feelings for Loong Chen.
However, he also understood that someone as powerful as Loong Chen could never lead an ordinary life, and staying in Polish City was an impossibility.
Perhaps he was just a passing traveler in the city of Polish.
Aaron could only wish that time would eventually heal all the sorrow in Amy's heart.
In the outskirts of Polish City, within the Luoji Mountain Range, Loong Chen interacted with the six mutated beasts that faithfully followed him.
Due to his exceptional beast taming talent, he shared a deep soul connection with these six mutated beasts, making Loong Chen their undisputed master.
“You all should remain here. The return journey ahead is fraught with danger, and I won't be able to protect all of you. Moreover, even if I return to the eastern continent, there won't be a place for all of you.”
“If circumstances allow, perhaps we can reunite in the future. Until then, may we cross paths again.”
Loong Chen conveyed, choosing not to sever the soul contract binding him to these six mutated beasts.
His reasoning was simple: he might return in the future, and if he ever wished to locate these six mutated beasts, the soul contract would be his sole recourse.
With a heavy heart, Loong Chen gradually distanced himself from the six mutated beasts, who reluctantly watched him depart.
After a day and night's journey, Loong Chen finally caught sight of the vast ocean.
Loong Chen retrieved the ship that Aaron had prepared for him from his Dimensional Pocket and took a seat onboard.
This ship was self-navigating, requiring no manual control from Loong Chen. He simply needed to sit on the vessel and remain vigilant for any perils at sea.
The ocean stretched endlessly, despite Loong Chen employing spatial jumps with the help of his spatial powers.
According to the map, he was still a considerable distance away from the eastern continent.
During this voyage, Loong Chen encountered numerous mutated sea creatures, with no fewer than ten nautical miles' worth of them, including five Lord Class beings.
Fortunately, all of them were of the Beginner Grade Lord Class. Loong Chen promptly eliminated them upon discovery, ensuring they posed no threat to his ship.
“Aaron's words seem to hold merit. The boundless ocean does indeed harbor an abundance of formidable mutated beasts.”
“What's more, they appear distinct from their land-dwelling counterparts. Even Level 5 mutated beasts don't seem to succumb to the pressure exerted by my King-ranked bloodline.”
Loong Chen remained vigilant, his mind consumed by contemplation.
He had long since unleashed the King-ranked bloodline's pressure, initially expecting it to bring stability, only to realize otherwise.
Rather than deterring the sea-dwelling mutated beasts, the aura of his King-ranked bloodline seemed to beckon them, rendering them utterly unafraid.
Left with no recourse, Loong Chen had to suppress his aura, thus achieving a modicum of tranquility.
Out of the blue, a deafening clap of thunder reverberated across the sky.
In the ensuing moment, the previously clear expanse of tens of thousands of miles was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds, and rain began to pour.
Loong Chen promptly rose to his feet. After spending several days at sea, he had acquired knowledge about certain matters.
For instance, he had learned to distinguish between natural weather phenomena and those induced by the presence of certain oceanic mutated beasts.
Whenever a colossal oceanic creature made an appearance, it would inevitably alter the weather patterns.
Loong Chen concentrated his gaze upon the sea's surface, striving to spot the mutated beast.
