Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 239 Captain Hai Dafu

Wu Xian smiled knowingly, and with a slight thought, the Dragon King of the East Sea appeared beside him.

Unlike the previous summoning of the Dragon King, this time, because it took place at sea, the Dragon King's appearance also caused disturbances in the endless sea.

It seemed as if the entire ocean was welcoming the arrival of this ruler of the sea.

"Tsk~ It feels so different to be back home!" Wu Xian couldn't help but tease.

Xue Zhengying stared intently at the Dragon King, speechless with shock, "This...this..."

"Do you feel anything?" Wu Xian asked with a smile.

"It's not just a feeling, it's an absolutely perfect feeling!" Xue Zhengying's voice trembled slightly.

Good heavens, isn't this exactly the idea that the scroll painter from the Sea Demon Dragon era pursued throughout his life?

In his view, the starting point of Wu Xian's work was already at the end point that the Sea Demon Dragon had been pursuing back then.

"That's good."

Wu Xian was satisfied and began to sweep across the endless sea with Xue Zhengying.

The Dragon King of the East Sea is only three and a half stars now, so the most urgent task is to level him up.

Although it's only three and a half stars, it has no problem dealing with the sea monsters here.

boom! boom!
As the colossal sea monster churned, it stirred up towering waves, startling countless sea creatures.

As soon as the Dragon King unleashed his power, a storm raged across the sea. With a wave of his hand, towering waves surged and slashed, slaying many of the sea monsters.

Meanwhile, the [Fish Gill Commander] was in charge of collecting the souls of the sea monsters.

Xue Zhengying watched with growing alarm. "No, the Dragon King must provide me with one! With him, I can at least recover 60% of my former strength, or even more!"

"Let's talk about it when we get back, since the materials aren't easy to come by," Wu Xian said.

"What level of materials do you need?" Xue Zhengying asked solemnly, her breathing rapid.

"What? Are you going to start right now?" Wu Xian was a little confused.

Xue Zhengying replied without hesitation, "That's right, I can't wait any longer!"

Wu Xian was both amused and exasperated, but then he thought about it again and realized that it didn't seem to conflict with their mission.

Since we're going to kill monsters and level up anyway, it's not a bad idea to collect some materials along the way and get an authentic copy of the Dragon King's "authorized document".

However, the materials required for the Dragon King are quite high, and they are not easy to obtain.

Unless you happen to find a decent sea dragon-shaped monster, and it has to be at least a commander-level monster, and its level can't be too low.

"It's probably going to be tough here, but the third stop will be the real Endless Sea Otherworld. We'll try our luck then," Xue Zhengying pondered.

Then a whole day passed.

The two nearly turned the surrounding sea upside down, while the giant sea monster continued to dive into the deep sea in search of prey.

Before we knew it, the Dragon King's side had already reached four and a half stars, and was about to reach five stars.

Such incredible upgrade efficiency shocked even Wu Xian.

It can only be said that he underestimated the Dragon King's prestige and status in the endless sea.

During this time, Wu Xian also took the opportunity to experience the changes in his own strength.

It was also much stronger than he had expected.

Ordinary monsters of level 10 or so are no match for him at all; he can cut them down with a laurel branch without them making a sound.

After all, it's just a dimensional control zone in Binhai City, not the real endless sea, so the monsters there aren't very strong.

Not long after, the Dragon King successfully rose to the fifth star.

At this rate, it seems unlikely that I'll reach seven stars before the BOSS battle.

Only then did he understand why higher-level scrolls generally don't require user contributions to upgrade.

Take the Dragon King's dominance in the endless sea as an example. Raising the level of the painting spirit is as easy as eating and drinking. He can kill indiscriminately.

Back on the [Rainbow] cruise ship, the other spirit master adventurers had already returned and were happily discussing their day's gains.

Wu Xian and Xue Zhengying's return was beyond simply a matter of "fully loaded." Inside the cabin, Wu Xian was taking stock of the marine-related materials in his Qiankun bag. Since he had nothing else to do, he immediately began attempting to synthesize some divine power factors related to marine laws, preparing for the later creation of the Dragon King's authorized manuscript.

Xue Zhengying was stunned. "Wow, Xiao Wu, you've even mastered Uncle San's skills?"

"Still learning, I'm far from being as good as Third Master."

"That's still impressive." Xue Zhengying clicked his tongue in admiration.

Speaking of which, my third uncle tried to teach him this skill because of his special physical condition.

Unfortunately, his sensitivity to the power of laws is more like an "instinct" and cannot be used as an external advantage for this skill.

In the end, it all just fizzled out.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The sudden knocking made the two of them frown.

Upon opening the door, I discovered it was the same old sailor who had sold tickets earlier.

"Gentlemen, the captain requests your presence." The old crew member was quite respectful, with a hint of awe in his eyes.

There was no way around it; they had all witnessed the two men stirring up trouble in the surrounding waters today, especially the golden scroll with its dragon head and human body, exuding the divine power of the ocean, which had completely stunned them.

At this moment, in the eyes of the veteran crew members, Wu Xian and his companion were like gods.

In short: Even the top ocean-type Holy Spirits at the Holy Spirit Dojo are nothing special.

"Captain?" Wu Xian couldn't help but be surprised.

Led by the veteran crew member, we arrived at the main control room of the Tianhong, where the interior decoration and furnishings were extremely luxurious.

It can only be said that the captain of such a large cruise ship must be quite wealthy.

"Brother Xue, it's been a long time."

The captain raised his hand to signal the people next to him to step back, and then stood up to greet them.

Xue Zhengying looked the captain over and gradually recognized him as an old friend. "You are... Hai Dafu?"

“I didn’t expect Brother Xue to still remember a nobody like me,” Hai Dafu said with a smile, gesturing for the two to sit down. He was filled with emotion. “Tsk tsk, I thought it was just a rumor when I heard about Brother Xue’s return, but it turns out it’s true.”

"So... you've inherited the family business?" Xue Zhengying asked in surprise.

Hai Dafu shrugged and said self-deprecatingly, "There's nothing I can do. I can't compete with those monsters in the league, and I haven't achieved any outstanding results. I can only go back and inherit the family business."

"I remember you were quite good back then?" Xue Zhengying asked, puzzled.

“His talent is too one-dimensional,” Hai Dafu sighed helplessly. “He can only be a big shot at sea.”

After exchanging pleasantries and catching up, Wu Xian gradually learned about Captain Hai Dafu's situation.

A former league player, but unfortunately his talent was too heavily focused on ocean-themed scrolls, making him a one-trick pony. He had an extremely high talent for ocean-themed scrolls, but his talent in other types was somewhat lacking.

To put it bluntly, his champion pool is too limited, making it difficult for him to succeed in the League.

After chatting for a while, Hai Dafu finally got to the point.

That's right, Hai Dafu came here specifically for the Dragon King.

He had originally just sent his men to keep an eye on the two of them, but they were pulled away by his overreacting men and witnessed the Dragon King's terrifying power firsthand.

If we had had such a gold medal back then, even with a single talent, we could still have climbed to a certain height in the league system.

Unfortunately, he is now over fifty years old and still has a large group of brothers under his command. He has long lost the passion and drive he had back then.

Even so, the Dragon King still made his blood boil.

"What? That scroll is this young man's work?"

Upon learning that the young man before him was the original author of "The Dragon King," Hai Dafu was utterly astonished.

After a moment of shock and reflection, Hai Dafu said solemnly, "Master Wu, please name your price. I will certainly not disgrace this golden scroll. Brother Xue should understand this."

“Old Hai’s talent for ocean-themed scrolls is undeniable,” Xue Zhengying nodded and smiled. “However, after all, it is a special gold scroll of our Underworld Club, and not just anyone is qualified to petition for it.”

“You two can rest assured,” Hai Dafu said with a knowing smile. “I still have some influence in Binhai City. Although I’m past the age for the league, I can still provide a lot of help to your club in the area of ​​maritime trade.”
