Chapter 325: Oceanic Ferocious Beasts! He Actually Got Excited?

"Lin Hui, if I were Xu Jingming, I would never choose to give up."

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a trip abroad. No matter how many schemes you throw at me, I'll answer with pure strength."

Just as the Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym group was discussing, the young man who had spoken earlier from the Bear Fury Martial Arts Gym also chimed in.

Lu Heng, a member of the Bear Fury Martial Arts Gym's Elite Training Camp.

His rank reaches Fifth Tier Mid-Level, making him the strongest among all participants except the team leaders.

"Fine, fine, fine, you're the best, alright?" Lin Hui didn't even want to argue with him.

He couldn't help muttering silently to himself.

Everyone says the Bear Fury Martial Arts Gym people are brute fools obsessed with body cultivation, only speaking through muscle—and now that he saw it, it was indeed true.

"You!"

Lu Heng clearly sensed the condescension in the other's tone; his eyes flared instantly, ready to lash out.

But at that moment, the Bear Fury Martial Arts Gym's instructor frowned:

"If you want to fight, wait until you get back to the training camp!"

Conflicts among trainees are normal; they wouldn't stop them.

But this journey to the civilization relic isn't a game—the life risks are far from trivial.

They certainly wouldn't allow any internal fighting to occur.

"Yes!"

Lu Heng gave a slight nod, then sneered toward Lin Hui:

"Lin Hui, when we get back to the training camp, I'll be waiting for you on the arena!"

"Heh, you think I'm scared of you?" Lin Hui didn't care at all.

After speaking, he turned away and started chatting with the other members of Lei Ting Martial Arts Gym.

"The two martial arts gyms seem to be brimming with hostility."

Lying on his chair, Xu Jingming couldn't help but murmur in amazement, having witnessed the entire scene.

But then again,

these two gyms have always been rivals; conflict is only natural.

For martial arts gyms, as long as no one dies, it's healthy competition...

"Mmm~~"

"Mmm~~"

"......"

Time quickly reached nine o'clock sharp; with a low horn blast, the Whale Wave battleship set off on schedule.

Xu Jingming left his chair and stood by the deck railing, watching the churning seawater below.

The ocean holds countless oceanic ferocious beasts; the entire East Sea can be called a vast oceanic wilderness!

But near human bases, oceanic ferocious beasts rarely dare approach—the water looks no different from his past life.

Only after leaving the harbor for some distance can one truly witness the terror of the sea.

"Good morning, fellow psychics."

At that moment, a deep voice rang out.

A tall, thin middle-aged man appeared on deck, accompanied by over a dozen others.

The lead middle-aged man continued: "I am Liang Kuan, captain of the Whale Wave battleship's guard unit.

For this voyage, I ask you all to serve as temporary guard members.

On behalf of all Whale Wave crew members, I sincerely thank you."

"Ship guard unit..." Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes.

Judging solely by his aura, Liang Kuan was only slightly weaker than his teacher Yang Zhentian.

Clearly, he too was a Seventh-Tier Master-level psychic, even faintly touching the peak.

Those surrounding him were all at least Sixth-Tier psychics.

This group, anywhere they went, formed a formidable force.

Yet now, they willingly served as guards on a ship—this alone proves the profits are enormous.

As Xu Jingming knew, the Whale Wave carried one thousand passengers per voyage.

At 300,000 per ticket, that's 300 million total!

Not to mention the numerous export goods bound for Sakura Nation—another massive freight revenue.

One voyage nets at least five to six hundred million—absolutely incredible.

Though there's some risk to life, entering the wilderness carries the same danger—no real difference.

"Captain Liang, you're too kind—it's merely a small favor."

"Yes, protecting the Whale Wave is protecting our own safety."

For Xu Jingming, who had long interacted with Teacher Yang and Vice Principal Ling Shuang,

Masters, even Grand Masters, held no special awe.

But for ordinary psychics, it was different.

Seventh-Tier Masters were usually seen only on news broadcasts.

Now, seeing a Seventh-Tier Master lower himself so humbly,

many psychics felt unexpectedly honored.

"Then thank you all—I'll go inspect the ship now."

Liang Kuan smiled and nodded, then led his group away.

The Langjing also quickly sailed out of the Eastern Dock and entered the East Sea.

"Gurrr— Gurrr—"

"Waa— Waa—"

"......"

At the Eastern Dock, it hadn't been noticeable, but as soon as the Langjing sailed into the East Sea.

Immediately, all sorts of strange sounds echoed across the entire ocean—these were emitted by marine ferocious beasts.

Unlike the savage roars of land-based ferocious beasts, these sounds were deeply eerie.

Some resembled frog croaks, others sounded like infant wailing.

Even more terrifying were the eyes surrounding the Langjing.

Pairs of crimson eyes, like red lanterns, lurked beneath the seawater, following the ship's movement.

The crimson eyes—adepts had seen such eyes on ferocious beasts before.

But looking out across the entire East Sea, a dense, unbroken sea of identical scenes stretched before them—this was terrifying!

"Sss, I feel seasick. I want to go back and rest."

"What a coincidence—I do too."

"Count me in."

"......"

Many adepts on deck were entering the ocean zone for the first time.

Joining the temporary guard unit was merely to casually take out a few ferocious beasts.

But faced with this scene, they suddenly felt a grave threat to their lives.

A reward of merely a few million was certainly not worth risking their lives.

Why not let the official guard members take the front?

Thus, seeing this, nearly half the adepts on deck immediately left.

"This is what marine ferocious beasts are like!"

Unlike ordinary adepts, Xu Jingming, gazing at the pairs of eyes hidden beneath the sea surface,

felt no fear at all—instead, he was somewhat excited.

He didn't even need to use the S-class supreme technique Lei Shen Zhi; just condensing Doushen Shenlei into liquid thunderballs and hurling them down—

he could only imagine how satisfying that would be.

But though he thought it, Xu Jingming had no intention of acting on it.

Like land-based ferocious beasts, marine ferocious beasts were extremely brutal.

They merely refrained from attacking, deterred by the aura of the seventh-rank upper-level Master aboard the Langjing.

If he tossed down a single thunderball and triggered a marine ferocious beast uprising, that would be a real problem.

"To be fair, Lu Heng may be an idiot, but sometimes he really does say something right.

Just the ferocious beasts lurking beneath the sea have scared off this many people..."

Seeing nearly half the people on deck gone, Lin Hui of the Lei Ting Wu Guan shook his head.

But when his gaze swept over Xu Jingming, he paused slightly:

"Huh? Why does this guy seem even more excited?"
