Chapter 314: Section 102: Underwater Confrontation

Underwater Temple.

Wave Hall.

Nearly the entire Divine Guard Army of Mei Lan Temple had gathered here.

With a flash of light, the youth was teleported into the hall.

“This is?!” The youth’s heart trembled. He discovered that he was surrounded by enemies! Fishmen were the majority, but there were also Naga, lobster people, mermaids, Sea Elves, and other races.

Upon entering the suction chamber, the Divine Arts imprint on the youth’s body emitted a glow, reacting with the Magic Array.

...

However, this mutation had not taken the youth by surprise.

According to the intelligence provided by Feng Yao, Fishmen who possessed Divine Arts imprints would be teleported into the Underwater Temple. The young Captain had been on guard ever since he intruded into the Sky Pillar water curtain.

Thus, as soon as the teleportation occurred, he changed form, transforming from Dragon-man into Fishman.

But what he hadn’t expected was, “I seem to have been teleported into the main base of the City Guard.”

There were about five to six hundred people here, nearly all of them Transcendents. Bronze Level and Black Iron Level were the majority, with at least twenty exuding a Silver aura. In fact, there were three Golden Level powerhouses, all adorned with the badges of the City Guard. They should be Commanders.

What most captivated the Fishman youth’s gaze, however, was the Mei Lan High Priest standing on the highest platform, her back to the majority of the people.

Judging solely from her silhouette, she was a female Naga. With a serpent-like tail, a slender waist, and greenish scales, she had four arms and orange-yellow fin-like antennas on her forehead.

Holy Domain!

The Mei Lan High Priest was a Holy Domain Level Divine Officer.

“Another one arrives. Hey, it’s a brother from our Fishman race.” As the Fishman youth was cautiously observing, a Fishman beside him patted his shoulder and took the initiative to greet him.

“Where do you come from? What’s your name?” The Fishman who greeted him had an overly familiar demeanor.

The Fishman youth glanced over at him, evaluating this Fishman. He noticed that he was short and stout, with sharp fangs and teeth, and a bright red tongue that protruded as he spoke. The most distinct feature was a pair of red eyes.

This was the Fishman youth’s first encounter with the Fishman Bloodline.

The red-eyed Fishman carried a Black Iron Level aura, while the youth pretended to be a brown-scaled Fishman, also of Black Iron Level.

The youth could now mutate into the complete forms of brown-scaled Fishman, Deep Blue Wise Fishman, and Barbarian Fishman, but he did not choose the strongest form of Barbarian Fishman. This was because, during his time in Sea Eye City, he had used this form to kill the Clan Leader of the white-eyed tribe.

As for his original identity, it could easily have met a tragic end during the five-headed serpent uprising. His current visage as a brown-scaled Fishman was not the same as before, as he had used other Fishman Bloodlines.

“Cut-Scale Tribe, Yaba.” The Fishman youth casually concocted a couple of names, which didn’t matter since Fishmen are scattered everywhere — not just under the sea, but along coastlines, riverbanks, marshes, and so on.

The red-eyed Fishman cheerfully gave a thumbs-up and pointed to himself: “Me, Red Boil, from the Red Star Tribe. Hehe.”

The Fishman youth nodded at him, continuing to play along while he kept observing.

As he conversed with Red Boil, another flash of light in the hall signalled the teleportation of two or three more Transcendents.

Those teleported were not only Fishmen but also Naga, mermaids, and even lobster people.

Those who possessed Divine Arts imprints were chosen by the Mei Lan God and were considered lucky enough to participate in the trial; however, it wasn’t just Fishmen.

For Mei Lan God took on many guises.

Among them, the majority of Fishmen worshipped the Fish God, hence the issuance of Divine Arts imprints in the name of the Fish God, which the Fishmen referred to as the Fish God’s trial.

Most lobster people worshipped the Wave-Hitting God, whose avatar took the form of a lobster person; thus, the teleported lobster people believed it to be the trial of the Wave-Hitting God.

Still Spirits, the Nets Goddess, and others all had a similar situation.

Of course, among all the avatars of the gods, the Fish God’s faith was the most widespread, with the majority of the Transcendents being followers of the Fish God.

After all, for most underwater species, fish made up the bulk of their diet. Believers thought that worshipping the Fish God allowed them to consume fish flesh without sin, sparing them from being punished in Hell after death for their sins.

The Fishman youth was already privy to this information during his time in Sea Eye City, so he was not surprised.

On the side of the Justice Pirate Group, the youth had made arrangements before departure, and people like Zong Ge and Cang Xu were very reliable.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the Mei Lan High Priest, who had been casting spells continuously, finally succeeded. In front of everyone, the water light transformed and manifested different scenes.

Among these animated water light images, there were Barbarians, Tree Men, and of course, the Justice Pirate Group.

“Chosen warriors, you have come to participate in the divine trial, so knock down all the invading enemies,” the High Priest turned around, facing everyone, and shouted.

“Whoa!!”

The believers crowded in the hall shouted in unison.

“Fishmen, follow me,” called the Fishman Commander of the Divine Guard Army.

“Naga, follow me,” rasped the Naga Commander.

“Everyone else, come to my side,” beckoned the Sea Elf.

The believers split into three groups, gathering around their respective Golden Level Commanders.

Soon after, the Wave Hall churned with swirling currents as the walls opened up to reveal three holes, which were indeed suction chambers.

“Follow them, and perhaps I can join up with the others,” thought the Fishman youth, blending inconspicuously among the Fishmen.

He proceeded with the crowd into the suction chamber.

This experience was not his first; he was well-practiced.

Emerging from another suction chamber opening, they were confronted by the enemy.

Not the Justice Pirate Group, nor the Mother Tree Pirate Group.

“`

This was an alliance of pirate groups.

Among all the parties that rushed to the Sky Pillar Sea Eye, they had the most members. Their temporary Alliance Hierarch was Shi Na, a Golden Level Magician.

“Charge, kill them!” The Fishman Commander didn’t arrange any tactics, but directly rushed to the front line.

In fact, the Fishmen came from all over the world and were not familiar with each other, which made arranging tactics quite difficult.

With the Commander so brave, the Fishmen were inspired and fearlessly attacked the more than thirty pirate ships.

“Hey, brother, take good care of me,” the red-eyed Fishman proactively swam next to the Fishman youth.

The Fishman youth nodded; he wasn’t too keen on slaughtering the Human Race and only planned to show the combat power of a Black Iron Level.

He chose an ordinary pirate ship and charged at it.

This pirate ship did not have a metal coating, but rather used a crystal layer, and the layer was much thinner than that of the Justice Pirate Group.

Fishmen had already boarded the pirate ship, and most of them were struggling with the crystal layer.

The pirates hid behind the crystal layer, continuously firing. They shot harpoons with huge crossbows; if hit, the Fishmen were either severely injured or killed instantly.

“Follow me, I know where their weak point is,” the red-eyed Fishman called to the Fishman youth.

The Fishman youth followed him to the underside of the ship, and to the youth’s amazement, the red-eyed Fishman precisely struck the weak spot in the crystal layer with a fork, then waved the harpoon, easily slicing open the layer.

“How did you do that?” the Fishman youth asked curiously.

Such weaknesses are hard to find unless one is familiar with the crystal layer.

Cang Xu could do it, but the Fishman youth could not.

The red-eyed Fishman boasted proudly, “I’ve overturned quite a few pirate ships like this. Can’t help it; our tribe is often harassed by pirates.”

With the crystal layer’s weak point breached, a chain reaction occurred: the tear grew larger and larger until it became a gaping rupture.

Without the protection of the crystal layer, the heavy water pressure immediately compressed the hull, deforming the pirate ship.

Many pirates were overwhelmed by the water pressure and died on the spot, spitting blood.

The Fishmen howled and swarmed in, slaughtering the pirates aboard the ship.

“Let’s go!” In the midst of the killing, the Fishman youth suddenly pulled Red Ba.

Red Ba, excited by the killing and disturbed by the Fishman youth, responded with slight anger, “The more we kill, the more we can cleanse with the Fish God’s Holy Water, brother!”

But the Fishman youth didn’t linger and withdrew immediately.

Red Ba was stunned for a moment, then clenched his teeth and chose to follow.

The two Fishmen had just left the conquered pirate ship when a meteorite struck their path.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the water surged explosively, and the entire pirate ship was shattered into countless pieces. The Fishmen inside and the few surviving pirates died tragically on the spot.

“Good brother, thanks!” the red-eyed Fishman said in astonishment, “How did you know?”

The Fishman youth replied perfunctorily, “I’m a mixed-blood,”

while looking in the direction from which the meteorite had been fired—a massive Silver Level demon energy ship, the Catapult.

The captain of the Catapult was the Golden Mage, Shi Na.

Then, the youth saw the Fishman Commander charge onto the Catapult.

The Fishmen vanguards had broken through the defense and attacked the pirate Commanders.

“Fishmen have too great an advantage fighting in water. They can launch attacks from above, below, left, and right.”

“The Human Race pirates are still more accustomed to fighting at sea.”

Seeing this, the youth was somewhat worried about his own Justice Pirate Group and unaware of their current situation.

At this moment, in another underwater battlefield.

“Charge, engage the enemy!” Zong Ge, stationed on the Silver Hook, shouted.

The Silver Hook faced off against the Sea Elf Great Commander, and the enemy’s offensive was immediately hindered.

Cang Xu, aboard the Justice, saw this scene, and while giving orders to adjust the formation, said to Feng Yao, “Lion Flag is only at the Silver Level; he can’t hold out for long.”

Feng Yao nodded, his fingers gently touching the strings of his instrument.

Immediately, the sound of music spread out and landed on Zong Ge.

Zong Ge suddenly swelled in size, his body hair stood on end, his eyes blazed with light, and surges of power emanated from his entire body.

He had already used an Underwater Breathing Potion, and now holding the Demon Blood Greatsword, he charged out of the Silver Hook and confronted the Sea Elf Commander.

The Sea Elf Commander defended against the Demon Blood Greatsword with dual swords.

Clang.

With a deafening clash, the two recoiled from the collision, finding themselves in a stalemate!

The Sea Elf Commander’s expression was as still as still water.

“Interesting,” Zong Ge licked his lips excitedly.

Feng Yao, as a bard, excelled at bestowing enhancement spells on allies. With his involvement, Zong Ge felt like he had the combat power of a Golden Level!
