Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

"Jade marrow is worth 30 billion, dragon blood is worth 80 billion. My uncle and father have been stuck at the high-level general level for several years. This time, we'll go to the sea and make a few more money by killing a few lord-level sea monsters."

With that thought, Xiang Bei plunged headfirst into the sea.

Many low- to mid-level monsters are inhabiting the nearshore areas.

When Xiang Bei dove down, the monsters were clearly startled, but they quickly reacted and a large number of monsters rushed towards Xiang Bei.

"boom!"

However, these monsters posed no threat to Xiang Beilai whatsoever.

Feeling the ripples of the sea, Xiang Bei unleashed a powerful halberd strike, instantly sweeping away the monsters within a radius of dozens of meters, leaving a large pool of blood staining the entire area red.

Xiang Bei ignored them, believing that some beast soldiers and beast generals were not qualified to be his opponents.

Xiang Bei's target was naturally a lord-level monster.

After casually clearing out the charging shrimp soldiers and crab generals with a single halberd strike, Xiang Bei's figure flashed and instantly disappeared from the spot.

As for the remaining ordinary monsters, Xiang Bei was too lazy to bother with them.

Some unnamed sea area

Xiang Bei was walking among the seabed rocks, his eyes scanning the dark depths of the ocean.

Not far from Xiangbei, countless monsters living in this sea area are stirring restlessly.

Among them are creatures of high-ranking warrior level.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from the depths of the sea, startling away the many sea monsters that were stirring around them.

Several slow-swimming, low-level monsters even rolled over and pretended to be dead!

"boom!"

Almost instantly, a protruding boulder directly in front of Xiang Bei was smashed to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, a figure more than ten meters long passed through the rubble.

King of the Deep Sea

Unlike the so-called tuna before the Great Nirvana, the Deep Sea Marlin King not only truly resembles a giant spear in size, but its strength has also reached the level of a mid-level lord.

It can be considered a dominant force in the ocean.

Especially the spearhead, any monster or human hit by it would be hard to escape being pierced through.

Especially in the ocean, the Deep-Sea Marlin King is extremely fast, even surpassing the speed of a high-level War God-level powerhouse.

"Good timing!"

Seeing the monster rushing towards him, Xiang Bei was not surprised but delighted. He swung his halberd and took the initiative to meet it.

He recently read the manuals "World Destruction" and "Nine-Layer Thunder Blade," and although he had some doubts about certain parts, he gained a lot from them. Now is the time to verify them.

The deep-sea marlin king in front of us is like a large gun with its own consciousness in the water.

This is a good opportunity for him to verify what he has gained.

Xiang Bei immediately swung his halberd at the Deep Sea Marlin King, colliding with the front of the Marlin King's spear.

Immediately, Xiang Bei felt an extremely powerful force coming from him, which forced him to retreat several meters.

However, Xiang Bei had experience fighting Carcharodontosaurus at the bottom of the lake, and the power of the Deep Sea Marlin King was still much weaker than that of Carcharodontosaurus.

Although Xiang Bei was forced back, he did not lose his balance.

With a swift movement of his foot, Xiang Bei turned back and continued to fight the Deep Sea Marlin King, wielding his halberd.

It must be said that although the Deep Sea Marlin King is not as strong as the Carcharodontosaurus, it is more agile in the sea.

Furthermore, it was more adept at utilizing ocean currents than the Carcharodontosaurus.

If the Carcharodontosaurus's fighting style is purely head-on collision, then the Deep Sea Marlin King is like a gunslinger with flexible and versatile marksmanship.

Xiang Bei felt quite awkward fighting him.

Due to the agile movements of the Deep Sea Marlin King, most of Xiang Bei's attacks missed their mark, while the Deep Sea Marlin King was able to attack Xiang Bei from all directions.

In terms of strength, the Carcharodontosaurus can easily defeat the Deep Sea Marlin King, but in terms of how difficult it is to deal with, the Deep Sea Marlin King is more challenging than the Carcharodontosaurus.

"Indeed troublesome, but you are exactly the opponent I've been looking for!" Xiang Bei's eyes were filled with excitement.

Only such an opponent is meaningful; if he can be easily crushed by him, how can he improve?

Wielding his halberd, Xiang Bei grew increasingly excited as the battle progressed.

While being constantly repelled by the Deep Sea Marlin King, it was also trying to find a way to counterattack and discover the Deep Sea Marlin King's attack patterns.

Meanwhile, Xiang Bei was also sensing the changes in the surrounding water flow during his battle with the Deep Sea Marlin King.

However, due to the extremely chaotic water flow caused by the great battle between the two, Xiang Bei could not find any pattern in it!

Time passed quietly during Xiang Bei's battle with the Deep Sea Marlin King.

The surrounding environment was in complete disarray due to the great battle between the two sides.

However, just as Xiang Bei was about to continue his fierce battle, an alarm suddenly sounded from his smartwatch.

"Time's up, it seems this is where we have to go for today!" Xiang Bei sighed softly, then turned and retreated in the direction he came from without any hesitation.

Although Xiang Bei brought an oxygen tank this time, it greatly extended the time he could fight in the water.

However, time is ultimately limited, and Xiang Bei cannot continue his battle in the water indefinitely.

When the oxygen runs out, it will be time for Xiang Bei to retreat.

The deep sea is not like land; greed can really kill you.

Therefore, when Xiang Bei heard the alarm from his smartwatch, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately turned and ran.

The Deep Sea Marlin King was taken aback, not understanding why this human, who had just been fighting fiercely with it, had suddenly run away.

Despite not understanding, the Deep Sea Marlin King had no intention of letting this audacious human who dared to venture into the deep sea go. With a flick of its tail, it chased after him.

"Dare to pursue!"

Sensing the approaching Deep Sea Marlin King behind him, Xiang Bei remained calm, or rather, he had anticipated that the other party would chase after him.

The halberd stirred the water, creating a two-zhang-long water python in the endless sea.

That's right, this move was created by Xiang Bei by imitating the move he made when he fought the Sharktooth Dragon at the bottom of the lake.

Unfortunately, its current use is merely a facade, lacking true essence, and its power is less than two or three tenths of what it used to be.

Even so, the power of this move still surpassed any martial arts technique Xiang Bei had ever learned before.

Heart of Steel - A Colossal Devourer

In the blink of an eye, the power of Xiang Bei's halberd increased once again!

At this moment, the Deep Sea Marlin King, who was focused on hunting down Xiang Bei, was less than five meters away from him.

With their speeds, the Deep Sea Marlin King had no time to dodge and could only clash head-on with Xiang Bei!

"Boom!"

The immense power exploded directly in the seawater, causing the surrounding seawater to surge violently and countless seawaters to flow backward.

The immense force even caused a column of water to rise from the sea surface, creating waves!

After the explosion, Xiang Bei held his halberd in one hand and looked into the distance. The front part of the Deep Sea Marlin King, which resembled a long spear, had been severed by Xiang Bei's halberd.

A deep, bone-revealing wound was left on its body, piercing through the Deep Sea Marlin King's abdomen and creating a large hole in its chest cavity. Fragments of the Deep Sea Marlin King's internal organs could even be seen through the bloody hole.

However, the Lord-level's powerful vitality meant that such injuries were not enough to kill the Deep Sea Marlin King.
