Chapter 136: Battle with the Sacred Light Sea Urchin
Now that the two lazy girls at home had also been promoted, Ning Bei thought to himself, if the disciples surpassed their cultivation in the future, how would they face it?
He didn't intend to let Nami obtain her soul ring so quickly. He planned to wait until they returned and let her take some whale gel to strengthen her body before proceeding. By then, her first soul ring would likely be around 700 years, considering she had been delayed for six years.
Two days later, Daming successfully discovered a sea area with extremely high brightness, and Jian and Gu had also fully recovered to their peak state. The group decided not to delay further and immediately set off.
Ning Bei looked at the somewhat uneasy Nami and comforted her:
"Don't worry. We're going to get the soul rings. There may be some danger on the sea, and we might not be able to watch over you. So, you should stay at the hotel and rest for a few days. When we come back, we'll go together to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Perhaps Ning Bei's reassurance worked, as Nami's anxious heart gradually calmed down.
"Yes, Master. I'll wait for you to return and behave properly."
After bidding farewell to Nami, the group set off, following Daming toward the sea. After Ning Fengzhi reached the level of Title Douluo, he no longer needed to be carried by Chen Xin during flight.
The group flew for several hours and had already arrived nearly a thousand kilometers away from Han Hai City.
Daming stopped and pointed to a very bright sea surface in the distance.
"This is it. Look over there."
Ning Bei and the others nodded and looked again.
"Daming, we'll leave the rest to you to draw it out."
This was Ning Bei's decision after careful consideration. Who knew how long it would take for the Sacred Light Sea Urchin to surface and absorb sunlight?
Daming nodded and immediately transformed into his true form, diving into the sea. As he descended, the visibility around him did not decrease, but rather became clearer due to the light emitted by the Sacred Light Sea Urchin.
After descending several tens of thousands of meters, Daming finally spotted the target on a giant rock on the seabed.
A golden sea urchin nearly thirty meters long, Daming didn't waste time and immediately swung his tail at the Sacred Light Sea Urchin.
The sea urchin seemed to sense the threat of the attack and instantly disappeared, reappearing behind Daming. Its golden spikes suddenly extended, aiming for Daming's back.
Daming was shocked.
"Such speed! Is this really a sea urchin?"
But he didn't have time to think. The spikes rushing toward him gave him a huge sense of danger.
He quickly swung his tail and swam away.
Seeing that the first strike missed, the sea urchin aligned its top with Daming and shot a beam of light at him.
Daming's heart skipped a beat, but the speed of the beam was so fast that he couldn't dodge in time. It pierced through his body.
Daming dared not stay. He summoned all his strength and swam toward the surface, not daring to look back to see if the sea urchin was following him.
Ning Bei and the others watched the bubbles rising in the water with nervous expressions, knowing that the target was about to appear. They quickly activated their martial souls.
After a short while, Daming's battered body burst out of the sea, covered in blood, looking miserable.
"Ning Bei, it's coming."
Ning Bei nodded, not wasting any words. He immediately took out a Xuanyuan Bone-Refining Pill and threw it into Daming's mouth.
Daming's wounds began to heal at a visible rate.
"Be careful, this sea urchin is very strong."
Just as Daming finished speaking, a giant golden sea urchin, nearly thirty meters in size, broke through the surface. Sensing the presence of the four people in the sky, it showed no intention of retreating and immediately launched several light-speed beams toward them.
"Not good, Fengzhi, come to my side!"
Gu Rong quickly moved toward Ning Fengzhi, and with a flick of his hand, his second soul skill, Bone Dragon Armor, activated. Ning Fengzhi flew toward Gu Rong and summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower to increase the defense and soul power of the others by a hundred percent.
Chen Xin also formed a sword formation in front of them for defense.
Ning Bei raised his right hand and released the Radiant Wall, blocking the path between himself and Daming.
At the same time, he activated the Eternal Freeze domain, freezing the surrounding sea surface into thick ice.
The light beams did not penetrate the group's defense. Instead, Ning Bei's Radiant Wall returned the attacks unchanged.
The Sacred Light Sea Urchin saw the attack coming and didn't dodge. It absorbed the energy of the light beams instead.
It seemed that light-type attacks had no effect on it. Fortunately, there was no such presence among their group, or a little angel might have been instantly paralyzed.
Seeing that its attack had no effect and that it was trapped, the Sacred Light Sea Urchin grew furious and extended all its golden spikes.
Ning Bei handed the auxiliary combat pills to the others. Ning Fengzhi was even more direct, releasing his martial soul true body and unleashing five amplification soul skills.
After taking the pills, the group felt their attributes increase several times and smiled confidently.
Now, it was time for a one-on-one battle: a single sea urchin fighting against their group.
Chen Xin was the first to act. Unable to hold back his sword intent, he charged toward the Sacred Light Sea Urchin. Considering Ning Fengzhi's two defensive soul skills and the vast life-saving pills Ning Bei had prepared, he felt fearless and was ready to exchange blows with the enemy.
"Third Soul Skill: Sword Wings Fly, Fifth Soul Skill: Sword Dances Across the World."
With his Seven Killing Sword underfoot, Chen Xin swiftly closed the distance to the target, then launched countless sword blades at the sea urchin.
The Sacred Light Sea Urchin, seeing the enemy take the initiative, erupted in golden light and disappeared from the ice surface, only to reappear behind Chen Xin.
"Watch out!"
Having learned from previous mistakes, Daming hurriedly warned Chen Xin.
Chen Xin sensed the energy fluctuation from behind and was secretly amazed. "Such fast speed!"
Ning Bei didn't intend to just watch. He activated his Ice Heaven Snow Maiden's first soul skill, Snow Dance Radiant Sun Field, which made everyone's movements slow, including the Sacred Light Sea Urchin. Feeling the slowed pace and the oncoming attacks from others, it quickly stopped its ambush on Chen Xin and vanished again, heading toward the ice surface.
Due to the effects of Snow Dance Radiant Sun, everyone could now track the sea urchin's movements.
"Well done, Bei'er."
Chen Xin praised and then directly entered his martial soul true body state.
"Seven Killing True Body, Eighth Soul Skill: Seven Killing Thunder Strikes, One Sword Shatters the Sky."
The massive Seven Killing Sword swung at the sea urchin at lightning speed.
The Sacred Light Sea Urchin, seeing this, emitted a dazzling flash of light.
Gu Rong, seeing this, would not give it another chance to escape. He entered his martial soul true body state, and both his eighth and ninth soul rings shone brightly.
"Bones Dragon True Body, Eighth Soul Skill: Space Gate, Ninth Soul Skill: Heavenly Bone Divine Dragon Wave."
The bone dragon's form disappeared in front of Ning Fengzhi, reappearing behind the sea urchin. From the dragon's mouth came a wave of energy that distorted the surrounding space, striking the sea urchin.
The Sacred Light Sea Urchin struggled madly in the bind but could not break free in time. Chen Xin's Seven Killing Sword struck its head.
With a crack, the sea urchin's top shell split open, and the sea urchin's struggle became even more violent from the pain.
"What a monster, this speed, and it has this kind of defense?"
Gu Rong watched as the sea urchin didn't lose its fighting ability after the old swordsman's attack, surprised.
