×××××××××××××××
The blue jellyfish let out a silent scream, and its bell could be seen trembling violently. The silver patterns on the bell instantly dimmed, and the viscous seawater around it returned to normal.
Jiang Zhen seized the opportunity and once again activated his soul power. The water dragon exerted its strength and tore apart the umbrella-shaped canopy of the Azure jellyfish.
Without the protection of its umbrella, the core of the Azure Jellyfish was exposed—a pale blue bead containing rich soul beast energy.
Its tentacles drooped limply, and its body began to turn transparent, clearly indicating that it had lost its life.
Jiang Zhen slowly landed beside the corpse of the Azure Jellyfish, dispelling the water dragon around him, and let out a long sigh of relief.
He didn't rush to absorb the soul ring, but instead first used the "Mysterious Water Enlightenment Technique" to restore his soul power.
His continuous use of soul skills and manipulation of a large amount of water element had depleted nearly 70% of his soul power.
Pale blue soul power circulated within his body, and the surrounding water elements continuously flowed into his body, replenishing the consumed soul power.
After a short while, his soul power recovered somewhat, and his spirit became more refreshed.
"Begin absorbing."
Jiang Zhen sat cross-legged in the seawater, enveloped by a water-repellent membrane that isolated him from the surrounding seawater.
He activated the "Mysterious Water Enlightenment Technique" while guiding the soul rings of the soul beast.
A deep purple, slightly blackish soul ring slowly rose from the corpse of the Azure Jellyfish, carrying a rich water elemental energy.
This spirit ring was a size larger than Jiang Zhen's first spirit ring, and its light was softer, yet it contained energy far exceeding that of the first spirit ring.
Jiang Zhen took a deep breath and guided the spirit ring to his body.
The moment the spirit ring touched Jiang Zhen's body, a massive surge of energy rushed into his body.
The energy of the 9400-year spirit ring was far more violent than he had imagined. Even though his physique had improved considerably, he still felt a sharp pain, as if his body was being impacted by something.
"Hold on!" Jiang Zhen gritted his teeth, circulating the "Mysterious Water Enlightenment Technique" to guide the energy surging into his body towards his dantian.
Two hours later, Jiang Zhen finally completely absorbed the spirit ring of the Azure Jellyfish.
Jiang Zhen could feel that his soul power was increasing at a visible rate, and his soul power, which was originally at the peak of level 20, began to break through continuously.
"Bang!"
With a soft sound, the soul power barrier was instantly broken through, and an even stronger soul power emanated from his body, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding seawater.
He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and the water element around him rippled gently with his will.
He stood up, stretched his limbs, and could feel his body full of power, and his soul power was also more abundant than before.
Jiang Zhen now felt refreshed and invigorated!
He could clearly feel that not only had his soul power broken through considerably, but his control over the water element had also improved to a new level.
Previously, he could only control water elements within a range of tens of feet, but now he can vaguely sense the flow of water elements within a range of hundreds of feet.
Previously, the water-condensing technique could only condense dozens of blades, but now it can condense hundreds, and the power is much stronger.
Meanwhile, the remaining energy from the Azure Jellyfish Soul Ring continued to flow into his body, consolidating his level 27 soul power.
Jiang Zhen activated the "Mysterious Water Enlightenment Technique" to completely absorb these energies and transform them into his own soul power.
"Level 27, and I even got such a perfect soul ring."
A smile appeared on Jiang Zhen's lips. He could foresee that the soul skill of this Azure Jellyfish would elevate his strength to a whole new level.
He could sense that this spirit ring not only brought about a breakthrough in level, but also a very good spirit skill.
The Source of Azure Radiance!
Once activated, it forms a miniature energy vortex core within the body.
Soul power recovery speed increased by 50%, all attributes increased by 100%, and soul power consumption of all soul skills reduced by 30%.
He glanced at the empty shell of the Azure jellyfish, then didn't linger—the deep sea was fraught with danger, and staying there for too long would easily attract other soul beasts.
Jiang Zhen circulated his soul power, and the water-based protective membrane on his body glowed with a pale blue light. He pushed off with his legs and swam towards the sea.
The figure in the water moved faster and faster, and soon disappeared into the dark deep trench.
...
The pale blue hydrophobic membrane rippled through the water, creating tiny ripples. Jiang Zhen's speed gradually slowed down—the seawater above him was already shimmering with a hazy light, and sparkling waves were falling from above, clearly only a few dozen meters away from the surface.
We'll be ashore in a little while.
Jiang Zhen smiled and was about to unleash his soul power to accelerate upwards when the pale blue soul power flowing within his body suddenly became slightly stagnant.
The surrounding water elements seemed to be disturbed by something, and the originally steady flow suddenly became irregular, even with a slight "tremor".
Jiang Zhen instantly concealed his aura, pressed his body against the coral reef below, and sharply scanned the open waters around him.
The next second, a gray-black figure slowly emerged from the water layer diagonally in front of him. It was thirteen or fourteen meters long. Although it was not as long as an adult Evil Spirit Orca , it was thicker than any marine soul beast that Jiang Zhen had ever seen.
The rough, wrinkled, gray-black skin gleamed with a cold, hard luster. The robust body had no streamlined beauty whatsoever; only every swing exuded an overwhelming sense of power.
What's most unsettling is its head—an exceptionally large head turned slightly to the side, its dark red eyes like two burning will-o'-the-wisps, fixedly locked on Jiang Zhen's direction.
The giant maw, which occasionally opened and closed, revealed two rows of sharp teeth, as sharp as refined steel blades, that gleamed with a cold light. Even from a distance of seven or eight zhang, Jiang Zhen could clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from it, as if he were about to be torn apart and devoured in the next second.
"A Evil Spirit Orca ?"
Jiang Zhen's heart sank, and he instantly recalled the characteristics of this soul beast—
A top-tier marine predator, they are social animals, and their individual strength surpasses that of the Great White Shark. Even the Deep Sea Whale King fears their group.
But this one is clearly a cub, and... it's alone?
He circulated his soul power and carefully sensed that the opponent's soul power fluctuations were around 4,500 years, which was much lower than the Azure Radiance Jellyfish's 9,400 years.
However, the ferocity contained in that soul beast's aura was far superior to the former.
What alarmed him even more was that the Evil Spirit Orca had a minimum cultivation level of ten thousand years. This four thousand five hundred-year-old cub should have been growing up under the protection of its pod. How could it have appeared here alone?
As if sensing Jiang Zhen's scrutiny, the little Evil Spirit Orca emitted a low hum from its throat.
The surrounding seawater rippled with fine waves – this was its ten-mile-range ripple detection, which was completely locking onto Jiang Zhen's presence.
The next second, its thick tail fin swung violently, and its body crashed into Jiang Zhen like a giant ship out of control. The seawater along the way was squeezed out with a roaring current, and even the light seemed to be distorted by this brute force.
Jiang Zhen dared not take the attack head-on. He suddenly activated his soul power, and the water element within a hundred feet around him instantly condensed: dozens of light blue water blades intertwined in front of him to form a net, while the water protective membrane thickened several times, like a transparent blue shield.
"Bang!"
The water blade net struck the head of the Evil Spirit Orca , but only left a few shallow white marks on its rough skin before being shattered into countless water droplets by the immense force.
As the aftershocks struck, Jiang Zhen felt a tightness in his chest and staggered back several feet before regaining his footing. Even the soul power in his palms became slightly disordered.
"Such strong defense!" he thought to himself in surprise.
His gaze, however, caught sight of the crucial detail as he stepped back—below the left ventral fin of the little Evil Spirit Orca , there was a deep wound that exposed the bone!
Faint bloodstains seeped from beneath the grayish-black skin, spreading out as fine red streaks in the seawater, clearly indicating a recent injury.
So that's how it is. Did you get separated from your tribe after being injured?
