The surrounding environment was a bit too dark, and Ning Yue, who also served as a weapon repairman, finally remembered his responsibilities.

They banged and hammered away, setting up several lights that illuminated the area as if it were daylight.

Ning Yue was very satisfied; finally, it wasn't as dark as before.

Now we must begin searching for the treasure within the Deep Sea Realm—the Water Condensation Mirror.

Finding a mirror in a vast, turbulent sea is extremely difficult.

"We can't possibly go down to retrieve it ourselves from the bottom of the sea, can we?" Ning Yue said.

Shi Yinghan pondered for a moment: "...That's a good idea too."

Ning Yue: "..."

"Let's dive down into the water and take a look," Shi Yinghan suggested.

Ning Yue: "..."

Fortunately, before Shi Yinghan could dive into the water, a faint and sweet singing voice drifted over.

It was exceptionally melodious under the dark night sky, making the listener feel as if they were floating on air, as if their souls were about to be elevated.

Meanwhile, the small boats drifting on the sea seemed to be deliberately heading towards the direction from which the singing was coming.

The speed gradually increased.

Shi Yinghan's expression suddenly became blank, and her hands and feet moved uncontrollably as she reached out towards the outside of the boat.

They actually wanted to jump off the ship!

This won't do!

Ning Yue frowned and quickly grabbed Shi Yinghan's clothes, swinging him backward.

Shi Yinghan slammed hard against the deck behind him, but didn't react. After letting out a muffled groan, he continued to move towards the side of the boat, completely absorbed in the experience.

—I still want to jump.

Ning Yue's first reaction was to doubt the strange singing.

Before she could subdue Shi Yinghan, Yang Fei, looking infatuated, also tried to run off the ship.

Ning Yue: "..."

Ning Yue swept Yang Fei down with a leg sweep, and Yang Fei fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

He was in so much pain that his face was no longer contemplative; he was clutching his leg, hissing and groaning.

"I'm sorry, senior brother..." Ning Yue said apologetically, "I used too much force."

Yang Fei couldn't answer her.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yishen and Duan Huailin both reached out towards the outside of the boat, looking fascinated and longing.

Ning Yue: "..."

"What are you doing? What are you doing!" She kicked each of them, and they fell to the ground, unable to get up for a moment.

Indeed, in the face of absolute force, everything else is futile.

Ning Yue had the foresight to capture and tie up Lu Qingyan and Song Yishi, leaving them only able to bounce around in place.

After several people failed to seduce her, the beautiful singing paused for a moment.

Then, as if angered, the sea began to rise, with waves several meters high crashing towards their ship.

Fortunately, Duan Huailin and Song Yishi had reinforced the boat in advance, so it was not torn to pieces by the waves.

But as the waves crashed harder and harder, Ning Yue almost vomited while sitting on the boat.

While suppressing her nausea, she also took care of her senior classmates, making sure they didn't fall off the boat.

That won't do!

Ning Yue leaned over the side of the boat and gagged.

In this situation, let alone obtaining a hydrogel, they couldn't even perform normal actions.

The singing was still coming from intermittently.

Ning Yue completely suspected that it was this strange singing that caused Shi Yinghan and the others to become like this.

But she can't find the specific direction of the singing, let alone restore them to normal.

It was as if I was completely mesmerized.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ning Yue's mind—

Is this some kind of mind control?

She possesses a magical artifact capable of resisting mental manipulation!

Let's try anything, even if it's a last resort! Ning Yue immediately took out the sound-clearing bell and shook it at the group.

Although it is called a bell, the silencing bell cannot produce any sound.

Ning Yue thought the bell was broken when she first used it.

No way... Isn't this supposed to be a Heavenly Rank magic weapon?

Could it be that what made Shi Yinghan and the others want to jump off the ship wasn't mind manipulation?

She fiddled with it up and down and left and right, completely puzzled.

finally--

A muffled groan sounded: "Junior Sister, stop shaking her, that's enough."

Shi Yinghan propped himself up on his elbows and rubbed his temples. "I'm sorry, Junior Sister, you've worked hard."

"It's alright..." Ning Yue put away the bell. "Team competitions are all about helping each other out."

Yang Fei also slowly got up, clutching his leg with a resentful expression.

"Junior sister, my leg hurts a lot, do you have any ideas?"

Ning Yue, eyes downcast and seemingly lost in thought, replied, "...I don't know."

"You must have bumped it by accident, I wasn't paying attention."

People gradually woke up.

Lu Qingyan stared in disbelief at the ropes binding her: "What happened?!"

Song Yi-shi's shocked expression: "..."

Fortunately, the two of them realized they had almost been fooled.

They were tied up like that probably to protect them.

Duan Huailin opened his eyes and stared at Jiang Yishen for a long time before he realized what was happening.

The mysterious singing seemed to be annoyed; the voice became hoarse and unpleasant, filled with intense anger, and stirred up huge waves that crashed towards the small boat.

Under the pitch-black night sky, a huge human figure suddenly emerged from beneath the waves.

It wasn't the size of a normal person; it looked as tall as two adults, with a wide and beautiful fish tail that caused a series of water droplets to form.

They poured water on their little boat, turning it upside down.

Fortunately, Ning Yue reacted quickly and set up a barrier in time to block all the water, so not a drop got on her.

The group was completely stunned.

Mermaids!

A blue adult male merman.

The mermaid's face was so beautiful that it was unforgettable at first glance. Her fish tail was blue and translucent, and you could see the white bone spurs inside.

The merman stood suspended in mid-air, its tail shimmering brilliantly in the darkness, its brows slightly furrowed, its eyes lowered as it looked down at them.

His eyes held a cold rage, and he held a massive trident in his hand, with streaks of lightning crackling around it.

He lowered his trident, and a swift bolt of lightning shot towards their small boat.

Everyone: "..."

The small boat was struck by the electric current and shattered into pieces, with wood chips and small pieces of planks floating on the sea.

Ning Yue and the others reacted quickly, immediately taking to the air on their swords.

Ascend to the same height as the merfolk.

From this angle, you can see a bright, diamond-shaped, light blue lens on the merman's chest.

This is a hydrogel mirror!

On the mermaid's chest.

Ning Yue hesitated for a moment: "Should we just go up and rob it?"

"Otherwise," Yang Fei said, "I feel like these merfolk are quite hostile towards us."

Shi Yinghan drew his longsword: "I don't need to sense it, the hostility is considerable."

As he was saying this, the merman suddenly rushed to Shi Yinghan's side.

The speed was faster than lightning; in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Shi Yinghan's face.

Shi Yinghan was startled when the mermaid's perfectly magnified face suddenly appeared before him.

Even the tiny scales on the sides of its face are clearly visible.

Before he could even make a move, the merman shoved him aside, sending him crashing into the sea.

It took a long time for it to emerge from the swift and fierce waves.

"Holy crap." Yang Fei stared in disbelief. "This merman is that fierce?"

Shi Yinghan surfaced from the sea, dripping wet, and choked on some water.

Ning Yue flew over on his sword and helped him up.

Shi Yinghan casually wiped the water droplets from her face: "Thank you, junior sister."

Ning Yue spread his five fingers, and a surge of spiritual energy overflowed, causing the sea to churn and a large current of water to flow down and converge around him.

It formed a huge cage, imprisoning the merfolk.

The merman, trapped in a water-based cage, looked at Ning Yue with an icy expression.

Song Yishi immediately threw the talisman, quickly and accurately sticking it to the cage to reinforce it slightly.

The merman snorted coldly, and the lightning on the trident suddenly intensified, shining with a blinding light.

People around unconsciously closed their eyes for a moment, a roaring sound filled their ears, and water splashed everywhere.

The cage was broken by the merman.

His fingernails instantly sharpened, gleaming coldly, and thrust directly at Ning Yue.

"Yeah—!" Ning Yue quickly bent back to avoid the merman's attack, moving so fast that he almost twisted his back.

As soon as he got up and rubbed his side, the merman's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he continued to attack Ning Yue.

Ning Yue threw out the barrier, which collided with the merman, sparking a burst of sparks.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling as she leaned closer to the merman.

The merman frowned, gradually increasing the force in his hand, trying to break through Ning Yue's barrier.

Ning Yue looked at him with a smile through the barrier and complimented him, "You're really good-looking."

The merman frowned, and the next moment, a sharp pain shot through him, causing him to loosen his grip.

Ning Yue's hand appeared on his chest at some point, and suddenly gripped the water-gel mirror in front of him.

The merman's face seemed to go blank for a moment, as the pain gradually intensified.

His aura surged, and he was about to launch an attack when Ning Yue beat him to it and deftly snatched the Water Condensation Mirror.

Sticky bloodstains clung to Ning Yue's fingertips, and bright red blood flowed down his pale chest.

A painful scream rang out, almost shattering Ning Yue's eardrums. She gripped the hydrogel mirror with one hand and covered one ear with the other.

She took a few steps back to observe the merman's condition from a slightly safer spot.

The senior students were completely stunned.

I thought I was bound to have a tough fight with the merman, since the merman's fighting power was truly terrifying, and I was prepared to bleed and get injured.

Unexpectedly, the junior sister easily snapped the water-condensing mirror off.

It's been confiscated.

The senior brothers and sisters were already looking somewhat surreal, and then they took another look at the junior sister.

The junior sister was staring intently at the suffering merman.

Shortly after the merman was captured by the Water Condensation Mirror, his body shrank dramatically, becoming only slightly larger than Ning.

He used to be as tall as two adult men!

Her long, waist-length black curly hair hung wetly over her shoulders, and her eyes, glistening with tears, looked at Ning Yue.

A beautiful, translucent blue fish tail was slapping against the water's surface, creating splashes.

Ning Yue: "..."

Indeed, whether big or small, it's beautiful.

There was a bloody gash on his chest, as if a large piece of skin had been ripped off from there.

With a hand that had shrunk to an unknown size, he touched the wound blankly for a moment, then burst into tears from the pain.

She didn't cry loudly; she covered the edge of her wound with both hands, her eyes still fixed on Ning Yue, tears streaming down her face.

Her eyes were filled with grievance.

Believe it or not... the tears she shed really were pearls.

Ning Yue accepted a few pearls, but to her surprise, the pearls kept appearing like rain.

Ning Yue had a headache: "..."

This is going to kill me!

What should we do?!

This water-condensing mirror seems to be a treasure for increasing one's realm and cultivation level.

The little mermaid's cultivation increased greatly after obtaining it, but now that she has taken it back, it has returned to its original form.

"...Don't cry, don't cry." Ning Yue was at her wit's end. Remembering how others comforted children, she pouted and pressed her cheeks against her wound.

"Can I blow on it for you?"

Blowing it won't help.

Ning Yue was so angry she almost couldn't breathe, and the little mermaid was crying so hard she could barely breathe; the pain showed no signs of abating.

The two, one human and one fish, grew tired of blowing and crying. They stopped for a moment in tacit understanding, taking quick breaths in and out, preparing for the next round.

Ning Yue was panting heavily as he blew on the medicine and took it out.

It was a healing pill given to her by Jiang Yishen. She didn't know if it would work on the merfolk, but she could only give it a try.

Both oral and topical remedies are available.

Ning Yue seized the opportunity when the merman opened its mouth to breathe and threw in a pill.

The merman smacked his lips twice and swallowed, then hesitated and stopped crying.

With her small, slightly chubby hand, she curiously poked her wound.

The next second, she winced in pain again.

"Don't cry, don't cry! The pain will stop soon!"

Ning Yue immediately applied the topical ointment to the little mermaid's wound.

Jiang Yishen's medicines are of very good quality.

In less than fifteen minutes, the little mermaid's crying stopped completely.

Her wet, watery eyes stared unblinkingly at Ning Yue, then slowly moved to his side.

Ning Yue eyed him warily, wondering what he was up to.

Suddenly, the little mermaid moved closer to Ning Yue's leg and gently rubbed against her, very affectionately, as if thanking her for the medicine.

Ning Yue: "..."

The enemy who stole the treasure has become the benefactor who gave him medicine.

He looked just like a well-behaved, docile puppy. Ning Yue patted his head twice.

The merman raised his head, squinted comfortably for a moment, and rubbed his head against her hand.

Ning Yue: "!!!"

Feels so good!!!

After the hydrogel mirror was obtained, the surrounding black panel gradually turned transparent again.

The sea has returned to its original clear, azure color, and the surface is calm, with occasional ripples.

We obtained the hydrogel microscope and passed the test.

The little mermaid rubbed against Ning Yue reluctantly, as if she couldn't bear to see her leave.

Ning Yue also infused the Water Condensation Mirror with spiritual power, and the Water Condensation Mirror, like the Blazing Flame Flower, floated arrogantly behind Ning Yue.

Shi Yinghan opened the map and took a look.

Next to the water-condensing mirror, the three characters "Fusang Sect" also appeared neatly.

"Bye-bye, little mermaid." Ning Yue waved to the little mermaid floating on the sea.

The mermaid looked at Ning Yue with reluctance, and as she looked, another small pearl fell from her eye.

Ning Yue: "..."

Ning Yue isn't going to try to appease her this time.

He just smiled and patted his head, then immediately mounted his sword and led the way out of the area.

The little mermaid's gaze was fixed on Ning Yue, and a few reluctant syllables escaped her throat.

Unfortunately, Ning Yue couldn't understand and left without looking back.

The senior students followed closely behind.

"Senior brother, has the Purgatory Sect obtained any earth-type magic treasures yet?" Ning Yue asked quickly.

Shi Yinghan shook her head: "Not yet."

"This is exhausting," Yang Fei complained. "Should we still go and rob it now?"

"Of course they went," Ning Yue said. "They went through so much trouble, they'll definitely get the Earth Tortoise Shell."

The Earth Tortoise Shell is the treasure that the Purgatory Sect wants to obtain.

"The more difficult it was for them to obtain it, the more satisfying it was for us to steal it."
