Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 185 The Dragon Raiser of the Vast Ocean (A long chapter of 7,000 words)
For ordinary people, the massive size of the Overturning Sea Dragon does indeed give it an overwhelming advantage.

But Qiao Beiming is no ordinary person. He is a master of evil arts with almost no weaknesses. His physical body is as hard as steel, his internal energy is as powerful and surging as a river, and his lightness skill is as fast as lightning. He has no weaknesses, or rather, his only weakness is... he has not yet become a grandmaster.

So when he was running on the back of the Fu Hailong, even though the Fu Hailong was rolling around in the sea and shaking its body violently, it still couldn't shake him off. Instead, it brought Qiao Beiming closer and closer to its head.

Qiao Beiming's goal was clear: he wanted to first blind Fu Hailong, making him a blind man.

The Sea Dragon possesses a massive size, giving it a significant home-field advantage in the sea, but these advantages can also turn into disadvantages.

However, Qiao Beiming ultimately overlooked one thing... or rather, he never even thought of it.

That is the Overturning Sea Dragon, which lives in the ocean, and is not just a water-type mythical beast.

On rivers, the Overturning Dragon is just a jiaolong (a type of dragon), but in the sea... you have to call it 'Dragon King'!
Boom!

Dark clouds gathered rapidly in the sky, followed by a violent flash of lightning that cascaded down like a waterfall.

These lightning bolts are different from the lightning released by the Electric Thorn Rat. The Electric Thorn Rat's lightning was more of a light and shadow effect, which was good at intimidating, but its power was really average, at most it would have a little paralysis effect.

However, the lightning that erupted at this moment was lightning that Fu Hailong summoned from the water vapor of heaven and earth with his almost supernatural power, and it already possessed the true power of heaven and earth.

No matter how strong Qiao Beiming is, he has to admit defeat in the face of the power of heavenly lightning.

In the world of martial arts, there are beings who can manipulate lightning, but these people are often extremely terrifying and unfathomable.

For example, Gu Mutian, Yan Zangfeng, Xu Fu, and Yin Zhong.

In any case, Qiao Beiming was not among these people.

On the contrary, what his Asura Yin Sha Gong fears most is the strength and Yang fire power of heaven and earth. Originally, after he combined good and evil and cultivated an indestructible golden body, ordinary Yang-attribute martial arts and internal forces could no longer restrain him.

But the thunder and lightning in the world are his natural enemy.

Almost without hesitation, the moment he sensed the flow of electric arcs between heaven and earth, Qiao Beiming deliberately fell off the back of the Fu Hailong and plunged headfirst into the sea. He then dived deep into the ocean, attempting to use the vastness of the sea to help share and bear the impact and pressure brought by the lightning.

Then, bolts of lightning blasted across the sea, and the undulating waves propelled the massive warships, making them appear tiny in comparison.

The martial arts bandits who accompanied them were terrified, their faces turning ashen and their morale plummeting.

"What's there to be afraid of! It's just a giant snake. Watch me slay it!" A voice resounded across the sea, and then a man dressed in a black robe, with a black mask covering his face, including his eyes, revealing only his lips, soared into the sky.

He held a blood-red longsword and slashed down heavily with it.

The sharp and domineering sword light was actually tearing through the clouds.

Those lightning bolts and thunderbolts are indeed powerful, but they are generated by dense dark clouds. Once the dark clouds are cut through, the power of the lightning bolts and thunderbolts will be greatly reduced.

The sword light cleaved through the dark clouds, but it did not dissipate completely; instead, it flew down towards the Overturning Sea Dragon in the sea.

The sword energy swept across Fu Hailong's body, leaving a long, deep sword wound that revealed the bone.

One sword strike pierces the defense!
Everyone felt a surge of excitement. Could it be... that someone would actually slay a dragon today?
"Master! Amazing!"

"Master, your divine skills are unparalleled!"

On the deck, some people wearing red overcoats and masks were raising weapons and cheering loudly.

The Sixth Prince, however, had a gloomy expression.

He hadn't expected that this Blood Moon Cult leader, Abiro, would possess strength comparable to a Grandmaster.

Such a sword strike, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens, was truly chilling and utterly unbelievable.

Everyone was waiting to see King Abira slay the dragon.

However, a thick dragon tail swept out of the sea, knocking Qiao Beiming, who had previously submerged in the ocean, out of the water and into the air.

Then, another dragon head emerged from the sea, staring at them with golden eyes. The coldness in its gaze was enough to freeze their souls.

"Two...two dragons?"

Many people were so frightened that they sat down on the deck, unable to muster the courage to do so.

If King Abhira can slay one dragon, but two dragons...

"No wonder it was so lively, we have a distinguished guest!"

"My name is Cha Nan. I apologize for not being able to greet you from afar!" The voice came from afar.

When they got closer, people finally saw that the owner of the voice came from above, dressed in a blue robe, with his hands behind his back, as if he were descending on clouds. Just as his feet were about to touch the sea, the sea surged and huge waves crashed. A huge, ferocious, and majestic dragon head lifted him up and sent him back into the clouds.

"Wow...so big!" The person sitting on the deck looked up at the sky and felt suffocated.

The two dragons that appeared earlier were already so large that it was almost unbearable.

However, compared to the third dragon that appeared, it was as small as a chopstick.

The dark clouds that had been split open overhead condensed again, and their area was more than three or five times larger than before.
Standing under the dark clouds, it felt as if half the sky had been dyed black.

The lightning arcs, leaping like silver snakes, weaved and flashed through the dark clouds, ready to strike at any moment and shatter everything.

"Misunderstanding...misunderstanding!" The Sixth Prince put on an unprecedentedly humble smile.

He was originally a proud and arrogant person, and even when he met the emperor, he did not change his nature.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to bow his head.

Because the opponent standing in front of him at this moment was too strong!
He severely underestimated how formidable the other party was.

They thought that since they had learned that the other side's helpers had either left or scattered, they could launch a surprise attack, grab the loot, and leave... They had no intention of actually occupying the Phantom Beast Island.

However, they still miscalculated!
His assessment of Cha Nan's strength was far off, which has put him in an extremely awkward situation.

The once majestic King Abira returned to the deck, appearing quite silent.

The disciples of the Blood Moon Cult also turned into quails, no longer daring to boast about how powerful or awesome their leader was.

King Abhira was blind... another blind man!
Fortunately, he couldn't see them; he could only sense three extremely abundant and terrifying energy auras. Otherwise, if he had seen the three sea dragons surrounding the warship, three enormous creatures, he probably would have lost all courage.

pat!

Qiao Beiming fell heavily onto the deck, his fate unknown for a moment.

His serious injury did not stem from being knocked out of the sea by another sea dragon, but from flying high into the sky and being directly hit by waves of lightning arcs, which shattered his indestructible golden body.

Currently, I am in the stage of dissipating my internal energy, and the energy within my body is in great disarray. The various toxins that were originally subdued are also causing trouble within my body.

The Asura Yin Sha Technique takes a shortcut, using poison to enhance internal strength. One year of cultivation is equivalent to more than ten years of cultivation for others. However, its drawbacks are also obvious. Most people stop at the fifth level. When they reach the seventh level, the signs of qi deviation become very obvious. By the eighth level, without superior and authentic internal energy to suppress it, they will surely fail.

Although Qiao Beiming is a combination of good and evil, and has reached the ninth level, seemingly eliminating the risk of going astray, the hidden dangers will still be exposed when his power is broken.

But no one cared about his life or death anymore!

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the judgment of the god-like being atop the largest dragon head.

"Misunderstanding? There's no misunderstanding!" Cha Nan's gaze swept over the dead phantom beasts on the island. He didn't seem to harbor any strong resentment, because he didn't actually have any feelings for these dead phantom beasts.

After all, he was not born, raised, or trained by him; it was all done by others. He merely received and released it onto the Phantom Beast Island.

To him, it was no different from a string of cold data.

But the anger from being provoked and attacked was extremely intense, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Just you three?"

"The three of you dare to trespass on my Phantom Beast Island?"

"What gave you the illusion that you... could take over my island?" Cha Nan's questions, amplified by the three Sea Dragons, sounded like the wrath of a god.

Standing atop the vast ocean, atop the head of the Sea-Overturning Dragon 'Ao Bing', Cha Nan is invincible!
Perhaps the only flaw lies with Cha Nan himself.

But with the Wind and Cloud Martial Body enhanced by the Three-Speed ​​Cloud Sea Deer, his speed and reaction speed were already beyond the ordinary. How could it be possible to sneak up on him and hit him?
Some people don't think so!
Who?
Of course it's King Abira, only King Abira!

A sword light pierced straight into the sky, as if defying the heavens.

At this moment, Cha Nan seemed to be the great demon king who brought disaster to the world, while King Abiro was the challenger with a heart full of courage.

However, it's no use!
A giant black beetle blocked Cha Nan's path.

It's Cagliari.

Its shell is hard and thick, and with the added bonus of companion skills, its defensive power is comparable to those hard skills and ultimate techniques in the martial arts world, such as the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and the Unbreakable Golden Body.

King Abhiro unleashed a powerful sword strike that landed on Cagliari, leaving only a shallow scratch after sending a long trail of sparks through the air.

Then Ao Bing got angry!

The powers of water and thunder converged within it, transforming into a terrifying impact.

The lightning's speed and the water's immense power merged completely, slamming into King Abhiro and sending him flying hundreds of meters away.

"Spare his life, I have a use for him!" Cha Nan ordered.

Although King Xiao Ting of Abiro is blind, he is quite strong, has excellent management skills and intelligence. His only flaw is that he is a bit love-struck. However, once he is subdued as Palu, Chanan's Phantom Beast Island will undoubtedly gain another powerful general.

There's always a greater demand for multi-skilled individuals.

Naturally, Qiao Beiming, who was already like a dead dog, would also meet the same fate.

"If you don't want to die, come to the island with me. I will judge you according to the things you have done in the martial arts world. You will be sentenced to three to five years, or even twenty or thirty years. You will stay on the island and work for me to atone for your sins!"

"You can report on each other. The more you report, the less likely you are to be punished!" Cha Nan said to the group of bandits still on the warship.

Upon hearing this, the group of bandits, though not fully understanding what it meant, exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of what Cha Nan meant, it probably means he won't die... right?
As long as you're alive, there's a chance to escape this hellhole!

As for Cha Nan, his mood was improving as he looked at the boatloads of江湖匪类 (jianghu bandits).

He was worried that there weren't enough laborers on the island to do hard labor, since most of the magical beasts were not suitable for some of the more delicate work.

Perfect timing! A batch of laborers has been sent directly, greatly alleviating the labor shortage problem.

Even in the modern era, with its abundance of heavy machinery, development and construction require a massive investment of manpower and resources; it's not simply a matter of having money. This is especially true now, particularly on an isolated island overseas. The former King Shi was also very wealthy; why didn't he make this island more beautiful, luxurious, comfortable, and safer? Was it because he didn't want to?

Do not!
He simply can't do it!
Take Lao Huang's Peach Blossom Island, for example. It seems to be built quite well. That's because Lao Huang has a unique approach. Most of the buildings are actually simply constructed, but because of the elegant decoration, they don't look shabby. Besides, how big is Peach Blossom Island anyway?
Without a large influx of laborers and the assistance of mythical beasts, Cha Nan's plan for the Beast Island might still be far from being completed even after ten years.

It's a pity that the technology of the mythical beasts cannot be directly applied in the martial arts world. Although Cha Nan can assemble some building materials and use them in the martial arts world, it is impossible to directly create a manor by using various unlocked building modules as in the mythical beast world.

The living room is still the same living room!
But the guest is no longer a guest!

Instead, he was a prisoner.

Cha Nan wasn't in a hurry to win over Qiao Beiming and Xiao Ting because he was confident and didn't need to rush.

They only need to be looked after by Yuan Suiyun and Kuaihuo Wang.

The only person sitting opposite Cha Nan was the Sixth Prince.

Why not take the Sixth Prince in as well? Or just kill him and be done with it?
That's because, of course, we still have a use for him!
Didn't I already give the reason?
We're short of workers to develop Fantasy Island!

Cha Nan is a positive character, so it's impossible for him to send people to the coastal areas to rob and kidnap people. So he can only wait for someone to come to him on their own!

Lu Xiaofeng is a top salesman, so the Sixth Prince could be a top mentor!
The Fantasy Beast Island park needs talents like the Sixth Prince.

"What do you need me to do? As long as it's within my power, I'll do it perfectly for you!" The Sixth Prince was quite perceptive. Seeing that Cha Nan didn't lay a hand on him but instead led him into the living room, he knew that something must be wrong.

Cha Nan nodded and said, "Two requests!"

"First, I need more detailed information about the God of Wealth Society, and you need to introduce someone to the God of Wealth Society. I will tell you who that person is later."

"Secondly, I want you to spread my name throughout the martial world and tell everyone that there are countless treasures, divine weapons, exotic beasts, and secret manuals on the Island of Mystic Beasts. As long as you have the ability to storm the island and plunder, dominating the martial world... or even vying for supremacy, it's not a problem!"

Cha Nan wasn't originally a very scheming person, but as the Mystic Beast Island gradually took shape and his ideas were realized little by little, he began to be calculating and scheming.

However, he still had a bottom line. Although he actively lured people to his door to be captured and used as laborers, if they were not ambitious and did not have the purpose of seizing his wealth and business, they would not fall into his trap.

Moreover, he did not completely deprive these people of their personal freedom. If, after investigation and interrogation, it was found that their crimes were not serious, they would not only be given a lighter sentence, but they would also be paid for their work. When the time came, they would be sent off the island. They could also choose to stay and become ordinary islanders, doing small businesses on the island, or officially join the Phantom Beast Island as guards or maintenance personnel, giving them a stable job.

After all, some people wander the world because they love it, like Lu Xiaofeng.

But some people wander the world simply because they have no one to rely on and are just trying to make a living.

"Regarding the God of Wealth Association, I've already had Yingxue relay everything I know to..." The Sixth Prince met Cha Nan's cold gaze, and he couldn't continue speaking, because anyone with a brain would know that this was nonsense.

"They've put a curse on me... Everyone who joins the God of Wealth Society is cursed. It involves the true secrets of the God of Wealth Society, and we are bound by the curse worms, so we can't reveal a single thing," said the Sixth Prince.

"Isn't the God of Wealth Society a relatively loosely structured alliance? How could they use witchcraft?" Cha Nan asked.

"The Gu worms of the God of Wealth Society are harmless and have no extra restrictions. As long as the key secrets are kept confidential, that's enough!" the Sixth Prince said with a somewhat grim expression.

Cha Nan sneered: "Do you even believe that yourself?"

"Of course I don't believe it, because the Gods of Wealth above number 30 are not bound by the Gu worms. They are the true rulers of the God of Wealth Society. The Gods of Wealth below number 30, although they are also called Gods of Wealth, are actually just dogs and pigs they raise, and they will kill them and eat them at any time." The Sixth Prince said through gritted teeth.

Cha Nan nodded slightly; this was more in line with his stereotype of an evil organization!
The whole idea of ​​organized operation, resource sharing, and everyone having a chance to rise to the top... it's just talk! Don't take it seriously!

New members are required to eat Gu worms, which means they are at the mercy of others.

Even if there are occasional changes, the top 30 Gods of Wealth will generally maintain their advantage.

In other words, the people below are fighting tooth and nail, and occasionally, due to changes, one or two spots might be released to enter the top thirty, causing the wealthy people below to fight tooth and nail for them. At the same time, in order to gain support, they are constantly sending benefits to those above.

Meanwhile, the top thirty "gods of wealth" sit comfortably, reaping rewards every now and then, becoming increasingly powerful and influential, making them harder and harder to surpass.

If this pattern holds true, then some of Cha Nan's previous inferences may be incorrect.

The original creators of the God of Wealth Society should at least be hidden among the first thirty people.

"So, who is that God of Wealth who took down King Shi, truly seized Tianwang Island, and usurped its power? What's his number?" Cha Nan asked.

“Number 18! He is the number 18 God of Wealth. I don’t know his exact name. I used the Fire Phosphorus Powder formula to gain his support and help me establish a base here. I never expected…” At this point, the Sixth Prince glanced at Cha Nan again, then immediately turned his head away, but his eyes were still filled with grief and grievance.

"Your phosphorus powder, is it really that valuable?" Cha Nan was a little skeptical.

Although that thing is indeed quite powerful, capable of indirectly amplifying and magnifying the power of those who use fire-based martial arts, it is ultimately just an external object. Moreover, if it is not used by a master, it may end up harming the user instead of the user, so its versatility is not strong.

"You've seen those ice puppets too!"

“That’s his unique skill, which is perfectly countered by my Fire Scale.”

"His condition for helping me was not only that I hand over the formula to him, but also that I swear to the Gu worms in my body that I would never reveal the formula again, or I would surely die from the Gu poison!" The Sixth Prince chuckled slyly.

"Swear an oath? You believe in that?" Cha Nan didn't think the Sixth Prince was an honest man at all.

"The Gu worm has a certain level of intelligence. If you swear an oath to it, it will hear you and then you can restrain it," the Sixth Prince explained.

"Huh! Is it really that amazing?" Cha Nan thought the Gu worm was a bit too intelligent, but in the world of martial arts, there are all sorts of strange and wonderful things, and this kind is not uncommon, so she no longer found it strange.

"What were you laughing at just now? It seemed a bit deliberate!" Cha Nan asked the Sixth Prince.

Knowing that the other party did it intentionally, Cha Nan still chose to cooperate.

"I'll grant you both your requests, but you have to help me in return!" the Sixth Prince said.

“You have no right to negotiate now. I can kill you, and Qiao Beiming and King Abiro can do whatever I ask you to do,” Cha Nan said.

Of course, the Sixth Prince is still the first choice!

Because he was despicable, shameless, and vile, and because he wasn't a true member of the martial arts world but a prince, he looked down on martial arts practitioners despite his presence in the martial arts world. Therefore, he felt no burden when betraying them.

Qiao Beiming couldn't do that.

Although Qiao Beiming is a thief, a tyrant, and a despicable villain, he is still a leader of the outlaws and a master of the evil path. He may not be able to bring himself to betray his fellow outlaws and give up the prestige he has built up over many years.

As for transforming into Palu and then carrying out this mission... that would be such a waste!

It was a waste of his talent and a job opportunity for Cha Nan.

It's important to understand that while theoretically strongholds can be continuously upgraded, and the number of work slots can be increased by upgrading strongholds, in reality, given the way strongholds are upgraded, once they reach a certain level, there's really no need to continue.

Too much was invested, but too little was returned.

Even if Chanan had a lot of free Palu ore fragments, it wouldn't have come to such a wasteful and squandered state.

Therefore, basically every Paru who is transformed, once he occupies a work position, must work and serve him effectively for a long time.

Letting them roam freely in the martial arts world is not a good idea.

Those who sign equal contracts do not count; equal contracts reduce constraints but do not take up space.

"Well... you're better than me, but you still have to give me something in return!"

"If I don't get any benefit from it, I certainly won't do my best!" The Sixth Prince acted cowardly yet ruthlessly.

"A group of no fewer than one hundred people, all of whom must be adults, able-bodied, and skilled in martial arts."

“Every time a batch arrives, I will give you a mythical beast, and you can choose any one you like…”

"Can your dragon do it too?" Before Cha Nan could finish speaking, the Sixth Prince interrupted, his eyes shining as he asked.

“Of course not! I’m talking about the ordinary magical beasts on Magical Beast Island, in Magical Beast Mountain,” Cha Nan said.

"That's true!" Although the Sixth Prince was disappointed, he wasn't too disappointed. After all, if a dragon were so easy to obtain, it wouldn't be worth much.

In other words, if Cha Nan had so many dragons that he could waste them like this, then he wouldn't need any help or assistance.

Just ride the dragons and flatten everything.

Actually, what the Sixth Prince didn't know was that Cha Nan's Overturning Dragon was only so domineering in the sea.

Furthermore, Cha Nan could not possibly cultivate a special sea dragon like 'Ao Bing' before breaking through to the Innate Realm.

Because his body can't withstand it, it will explode.

Cha Nan had tried it in the Fantasy Beast World before; the explosion was incredibly powerful, shattering both the egg and the person inside.

If Cha Nan hadn't been able to be resurrected, he would have killed himself.

"Okay, I agree to your condition!"

"Then... what were you laughing so smugly about just now? Explain!" Cha Nan picked up his teacup, both to see the guest off and to get the Sixth Prince to reveal the truth.

“I used to have a maid named Yingxia. She betrayed me, but she also knew the recipe for fire phosphorus powder.”

"I can find a way to lure her here. Once you capture her, you can get the formula from her!" the Sixth Prince said through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, Cha Nan waved his hand, indicating that the Sixth Prince could leave.

He already knew the answer... How boring!
The Sixth Prince lowered his head and left the living room.

Cha Nan knew he harbored hatred and was a vicious wolf who would definitely try something else.

But Cha Nan wasn't afraid of him.

No matter how painstakingly the Sixth Prince schemed and stirred up trouble, he could never have guessed how quickly and rapidly Cha Nan's trump cards would change.

Cha Nan's trump card right now is a few Overturning Sea Dragons, but it won't be long before that's no longer the case!
After the Sixth Prince left, Cha Nan used the Palu Ball to subdue Xiao Ting and Qiao Beiming, transforming them into Palu.

At this point, Cha Nan had gained two more Grandmasters under his command. Xiao Ting could occasionally unleash the combat power of a Grandmaster, while Qiao Beiming could unleash attacks no weaker than a Grandmaster if he used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.

Not long after the battle to conquer the island, legends of the dragon-raising people of the Canghai began to circulate in the martial arts world.

Legend has it that deep in the ocean of a certain world, there is a mythical island, where strange beasts and rare treasures abound, along with miraculous elixirs, divine martial arts manuals, and divine weapons of all kinds.

The owner of the island was a dragon breeder who kept a three-headed dragon.

They can control the storms and thunder of the sea, and are the masters of the sea. Whoever can find the Island of Mythical Beasts will have the opportunity to rise to the top in one step.

The origin of the legend is unknown.

However, in a very short time, the news spread throughout many parts of the world and various martial arts circles, attracting the attention and scrutiny of many ambitious individuals, who began to use various channels to investigate the truth about the dragon breeder on the mythical beast island.
