The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 124 The Power of Secret Weapons

On the sea, Lin Ye ran wildly across the surface, each step creating a burst of white air.

On the deck, Jiang Muyu walked up with a glass of red wine.

Watching Lin Ye rush out, he walked to Yan Yi's side and handed her the sunshade he was holding.

"Don't worry, my brother is a very responsible person, so he values ​​his promises very much."

"But that's precisely why he deserves it, isn't it?"

Yan Yi took the sunshade and put it on, paused for a few seconds, and then nodded.

Jiang Muyu smiled and then said, "Don't worry, as the saying goes, it's easy for a woman to pursue a man."

"You two, I think you're really just one step away from success."

"boom--!"

An explosion roared, and a gust of air, accompanied by the sea breeze, swayed the ship slightly.

Jiang Muyu accidentally spilled some of the red wine in her hand.

She glared at the fierce figure in the distance, then pouted.

"barbarian."

Not long after, a fishy smell spread with the sea breeze, and the mournful cry of a whale gradually faded away.

"Thump!"

Lin Ye stepped onto the deck, holding a black, sharp horn upside down in his hand.

Hunting a whale with bare hands on the high seas (Completed)

He looked at Jiang Muyu, "Sister Jiang, I heard that the horns of black narwhals are of very high quality. How about we make two bracelets?"

Jiang Muyu glanced at Yan Yi and nodded, "No problem, I'll find the best craftsmen and add some decorations for you."

Lin Ye grinned, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Jiang."

As they chatted and laughed, the expressions of the three of them changed drastically at the same time, and their black pupils were fully revealed.

An overwhelming sense of threat pressed down on the deck from afar, freezing all three of them in place.

Lin Ye suppressed the instinctive tremor in his body and turned around to look at the sea in front of him.

A figure came riding the waves, dressed in loose black cloth robes and with his hair tied in a bun, looking like a Taoist priest.

His pupils contracted slightly as he looked down at the Taoist's feet.

He was able to travel on the sea surface by using the recoil force caused by the force of air shock to compress the sea surface.

But this person was completely different; he was simply walking on the waves, no different from walking on land.

Before he could get a closer look, the figure suddenly vanished.

"Kick."

The next instant, a figure stood on the railing in front of the three, looking down at them.

Even without making a sound, it sends shivers down one's spine, as if one has encountered a higher life form, and one dares not make the slightest move.

"Secret Warrior..." Lin Ye said stiffly.

Why would a martial arts expert appear here?

The newcomer glanced at them, and the terrifying sense of threat gradually disappeared.

Jiang Muyu couldn't help but take a deep breath and look at the man in plain clothes.

"May I ask who you are, senior?"

Before he could finish speaking, the man in plain clothes turned his head, said nothing, and just glanced at him indifferently.

Instantly, Jiang Muyu felt as if she were being targeted by something terrifying, and she collapsed to the ground.

Lin Ye stepped forward and stood in front of Yan Yi and Jiang Muyu.

"This disciple is a core disciple of the Crimson Whale Sect. May I ask who you are, senior?"

Upon hearing the words "Red Whale Sect," a flicker of emotion appeared in the man in plain clothes.

He sized up Lin Ye, and Lin Ye felt as if that gaze carried a weight.

After a few seconds, the man in plain clothes revealed a disdainful smile.

"The Crimson Whale Sect has also declined; its core disciples aren't even Secret Warriors?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extreme sense of threat pressed down on Lin Ye's shoulder.

Lin Ye's eyes widened, veins bulging on his forehead, as he stubbornly refused to kneel down.

"That's interesting."

"He does resemble a core disciple of the Crimson Whale Sect quite well."

The voice of the man in plain clothes rang in my ears, and the pressure on my shoulders gradually disappeared.

"I didn't come for you, get out of my way."

As he spoke, the man in plain clothes gently waved his hand.

Lin Ye stumbled and felt a tremendous force trying to push him away.

"boom!"

A crimson aura erupted from his body, enveloping an area of ​​seventeen feet in radius.

"Um?"

The man in plain clothes looked at the seven-foot-long, blood-red shock zone with a hint of doubt and surprise.

"Such great strength, such a powerful tremor."

"There aren't many who can reach your level below the Secret Warrior."

"That's all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye's figure flew out and crashed heavily into the fence, leaving a human-shaped dent.

"Senior brother!"

Yan Yi exclaimed in surprise and immediately ran over.

But then, an invisible force enveloped her and lifted her into the air.

Lin Ye fell onto the deck, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and struggled to raise his arm.

Yan Yi was trapped in an invisible mass of energy. She tried her best to pound on the mass, but it had no effect whatsoever, and not even a ripple appeared.

The next moment, the man in plain clothes jumped off the boat, grabbed a set of clothes and threw them into the air mass, then lightly stepped on the sea surface and chased the waves away, disappearing from sight in a few flashes.

After he left, the imposing presence that had been looming over the deck dissipated.

Lin Ye used the deformed fence to get up, and Jiang Muyu also stood up shakily.

Jiang Muyu quickly walked to Lin Ye's side, "Little brother... are you alright?"

Standing up in front of a top-tier martial arts master is already an achievement, let alone resisting.

Lin Ye remained silent, his face grim as he watched the direction the man in plain clothes had gone.

"Sister Jiang, could you help me find out who he is?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muyu fell silent, and after a while, she suddenly sighed.

"I can help you investigate, but he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Yan Yi."

"And... I didn't kill you on the spot. Whatever the reason, Yan Yi should be fine."

"Perhaps he'll be back in a few days."

"You must promise your sister that if you can find out his identity, you will not act impulsively."

Lin Ye took a deep breath. "I understand."

Jiang Muyu breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw him calm down.

"Sister Jiang, is the difference between a Zhen Chengyuan practitioner and a Secret Martial Artist really that big?"

Lin Ye suddenly spoke.

Jiang Muyu remained silent for a moment after hearing this before finally speaking.

"Theoretically speaking, it is impossible for someone below the level of a Secret Warrior to contend with one."

"This is a leap in the level of life; in a sense, the esoteric martial artist is no longer considered a 'human' in our understanding."

"Quantity is no longer important to them."

"To the secret warriors, ordinary people below the level of secret warriors don't even have the right to stand in front of them."

"Even F-class weapons, although capable of killing them in terms of destructive power."

"But in reality, unless it's a trap, a direct attack poses virtually no threat to the Secret Warriors."

Lin Ye remained silent after hearing Jiang Muyu's explanation.

Seeing this, Jiang Muyu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Little brother, you don't need to be discouraged."

"This person's strength is definitely among the top even among martial artists, and he may even have reached the threshold of the sect leader level."

"Normally, most martial arts practitioners wouldn't be this strong."

"Trust in your judgment, sister. Our Tieqin Jiang clan also has top-tier martial arts practitioners."

"Your strength has almost surpassed the scope of Lian Zhen Cheng Yuan, so you will be exceptionally powerful and have a higher potential after you become a Secret Martial Artist in the future."

"With your talent, you definitely have a chance to reach the sect leader level."

"The saying goes, 'Planning for the short term is short-sighted, but planning for ten years is long-term.' Don't act impulsively."

Lin Ye remained silent and did not speak, but simply nodded.

"Thank you, Sister Jiang."

Jiang Muyu nodded silently and patted him on the shoulder.

"Think things through carefully. I told them to turn back."

After she left, Lin Ye walked to the fence and looked in the direction the man in plain clothes had gone.

"Buzz~ Buzz~"

The phone in my pocket vibrated.

Lin Ye took out his phone, and the screen displayed the name: Fei Ge.

As soon as the call connected, a pleasant, youthful laugh came through the phone.

"Haha! Young man! Your core disciple assessment results are in!"

"Where are you? I'm coming to find you!"
