Jiang Zhen floated in the dim water beside the Seagrass , his gaze fixed on the jellyfish that glowed with a pale blue light in front of him.
Although its age of 9400 years has not reached the threshold for qualitative change of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, it is still powerful.
In particular, the soul beasts nurtured by the deep-sea environment are often more difficult to deal with than land soul beasts of the same age.
He quietly extended his soul power to the surroundings, using his affinity for the water element to sense every movement in this body of water.
The seawater around the blue jellyfish appears calm, but it actually contains extremely subtle energy fluctuations, as if an invisible barrier surrounds it, and even the swaying of Seagrass slows down slightly when it passes by.
"It's really not simple. This jellyfish's energy can affect the water flow. If I attack rashly, it might use the water flow to deflect my force." Jiang Zhen thought to himself, and began to gather water elements at his fingertips.
He didn't rush to use his first soul skill, but instead activated the "Mysterious Water Enlightenment Technique" to thicken the water protective membrane on his body by three points.
Then, with a thought, the water element around him suddenly became agitated, and dozens of water arrows, each as thick as a finger, condensed in front of him, their tips gleaming with a cold silver light.
"Go!" Jiang Zhen shouted, and with his soul power activated, the water arrow shot like an arrow released from a bow toward the umbrella-shaped canopy of the Azure Jellyfish.
Just as the water arrow was about to touch the calm waters around the jellyfish, the seemingly gentle seawater suddenly rippled, like a soft net, wrapping the water arrow layer by layer.
With a few soft "plop" sounds, the water jet was twisted into tiny water droplets by the water flow, without even touching the jellyfish's tentacles.
"As expected, it can control the water flow to deflect force!" Jiang Zhen's eyes narrowed. Instead of panicking, he became even more certain of the jellyfish's value—its soul skill that could control the water flow was extremely compatible with his water element martial soul.
Just then, the blue jellyfish seemed to be disturbed.
The silver patterns on its canopy suddenly lit up, and its tentacles, which had been swaying gently, instantly straightened. Dozens of slender tentacles gleamed with a dazzling silver light, like silver soft swords, and lashed out at Jiang Zhen.
At the same time, the seawater around it began to swirl, forming tiny whirlpools that tried to trap Jiang Zhen inside.
Jiang Zhen was prepared. He kicked his legs hard in the water and, with the help of the resonance between his soul power membrane and the seawater, his body retreated rapidly like a fish.
But those tentacles were incredibly fast, making a sharp whooshing sound as they cut through the air (they could even create a sound similar to air breaking in the water), and caught up with him in the blink of an eye.
"Hydrating protective film!"
Jiang Zhen quickly turned around and injected his soul power into the membrane on his body. The light blue protective membrane instantly bulged up, like a round shield.
"Bang!" The first tentacle slammed into the protective membrane. Jiang Zhen felt a tremendous force, and his body was shaken and slid several feet to the side. The water ripples on the protective membrane fluctuated violently and almost shattered.
He looked down and saw that the place where the protective membrane touched the tentacles was tinged with a faint silver, as if it had been corroded by some kind of energy. Fortunately, the "Mysterious Water Enlightenment Technique" was activated in time, and his soul power was constantly replenished, which dispelled the silver light.
"These tentacles are not only powerful, but they also possess paralyzing energy!"
Jiang Zhen felt a chill run down his spine, knowing he could no longer remain passively defensive.
He took a deep breath, his soul power surged within him, and his first soul ring lit up above his head, its purple light reflecting a warm glow onto the surrounding seawater.
"First Soul Skill: Nourishing All Directions!"
As the soul skill was activated, the water element around Jiang Zhen instantly boiled, and a gentle yet powerful energy surged into his limbs and bones along with his soul power.
He could clearly feel that his strength, speed, soul power, and even his control over the water element all surged at this moment.
The 200% increase in all attributes made him even more agile in the deep sea.
"Since you can control the water flow, then I'll disrupt it!" Jiang Zhen formed hand seals, communicating with the surrounding water elements.
Suddenly, the seawater within a radius of several dozen feet around him began to churn. The originally calm currents turned violent, and huge whirlpools appeared out of nowhere, engulfing the tentacles of the Azure Jellyfish.
Those tiny whirlpools that tried to bind Jiang Zhen instantly dissipated under the impact of this violent current.
The Azure Jellyfish seemed surprised that the human before it could control such a massive amount of water element; its umbrella-shaped cap slightly contracted, and the silver patterns shimmered even more rapidly.
It abruptly retracted its tentacles, then swung them towards Jiang Zhen, unleashing dozens of silver light blades that sliced through the seawater, bringing with them a sharp and fierce aura.
"Condense water into a shield!" Jiang Zhen flipped his wrist, and the water elements in front of him quickly condensed, forming a water shield ten feet high.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The silver light blade struck the water shield, making a crisp sound. Ripples spread across the water shield, but it never broke.
Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Zhen exerted force with both legs again, his body rushing towards the Azure Jellyfish like an arrow—he wanted to get close to attack and avoid the opponent's advantage of remotely controlling the water flow.
Just as Jiang Zhen was about to rush close to the jellyfish, the Blue Glow Jellyfish suddenly opened its bell to its maximum size, and the silver patterns on its body surface shone with a dazzling light.
A gentle yet highly penetrating energy emanated from its body, instantly thickening the surrounding seawater and causing Jiang Zhen's speed to slow abruptly, as if he were sinking into a quagmire.
"not good!"
Jiang Zhen was startled. He could feel that his connection with the surrounding water elements had been weakened considerably by this energy, and his soul power circulation had become sluggish.
Just then, the tentacles of the Azure Jellyfish suddenly accelerated, like venomous snakes, and coiled around Jiang Zhen's limbs.
"Hiss—" The numbing sensation from the tentacles instantly spread throughout Jiang Zhen's body, and his soul power almost stopped.
He could see that the silver patterns on the tentacles were flashing constantly, and the hydrophobic protective membrane on the surface of the body had begun to become transparent under the erosion of this energy.
"We can't let it trap us!" Jiang Zhen gritted his teeth, forcefully activating his soul power while simultaneously mobilizing the power of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.
A blue-gold light shone from his right leg, and a healing energy flowed through his limbs, instantly suppressing the numbness in his body.
Immediately afterwards, the flight soul skill of his right leg bone was activated. A gentle thrust came from the soles of his feet, propelling his body upwards and forcefully severing several tentacles wrapped around his limbs.
Using the floating ability granted by his flying soul skill (though not as agile as in the air, it was enough to break free from constraints), Jiang Zhen quickly created distance.
He looked down at the area where the tentacles had wrapped around his skin, which had turned a pale silver color. Fortunately, the healing energy took effect in time; otherwise, he would probably have lost the ability to move by now.
"This jellyfish's paralyzing energy is too powerful; we must finish this quickly!"
Jiang Zhen took a deep breath, pushing the effect of nourishing all directions to its limit, while simultaneously circulating the "Mysterious Water Enlightenment Technique" to gather all the water elements he could mobilize in the surrounding area in front of him.
He thrust both hands forward with a sudden burst of energy, shouting, "Water Dragon Break!"
In an instant, the water element in front of him condensed into a water dragon tens of feet long. The dragon's body was covered with scales formed by compressed soul power, and its eyes shone with a pale blue light.
The water dragon let out a deafening roar and charged towards the Azure Jellyfish.
The Azure Jellyfish clearly sensed the terrifying power of the Water Dragon. Its umbrella-shaped cap contracted violently, and the silver patterns on its body shone with the strongest light, attempting to manipulate the water flow to form a defense.
This time, however, the water element mobilized by Jiang Zhen, after being blessed by nourishing all directions and coupled with the precise control of the "Mysterious Water Enlightenment Technique," was far more powerful than before.
The water dragon crashed into the water defense, shattering it, and then bit into the umbrella-shaped cap of the Azure Jellyfish.
"puff!"
