Towards Eternity
Ch 529's. Spoofery
Weng Lou's face looked ugly hearing the reply from the sea savage beast.
As the Black Ape Fighter said, the sea beasts were very sensitive when it came to discussing the matter of their territory. The development of wild beasts, whether they were living on land or sea, both of them both needed territories that had the resources they needed to thrive.
Usually, they will choose a nest that is located right in the place of their resources, thus preventing the theft of their resources.
There are times when two wild beasts will fight each other for a territory, and the resources in it. If one loses, the winner will own the contested territory, and the loser will leave dishonorably.
The Waves of Power from the Black Ape Fighter had attracted the attention of the giant eel, and the eel felt that the Black Ape Fighter had challenged him, so he would obviously accept the challenge and heed the request from Weng Lou.
Currently, only the result of the fight between the Black Ape Fighter and the giant eel alone could decide whether or not they could continue sailing.
"Curtain, this eel. He knew very well that this was the ocean, the enemy of the beasts of the land. If the two fight here, then this eel will come out as the winner...." Weng Lou cursed the giant eel in his heart.
"Ah shit, this eel is smart. He was unwilling to waste the opportunity to fight with me in the ocean," Black Ape Fighter sneered.
"How now?"
"Relax, I still have an idea."
Suddenly, Weng Lou who was currently in the mouth of the giant eel bowed his body to the eel. "I'm sorry if I've offended you. But it seems you have no intention of letting us go without a fight. I will be frank, in fact we are bringing a gift to our leader, a very powerful Martial Practitioner. If we don't get to where he's waiting for us in time, then he'll be very angry."
Hearing Weng Lou's words, the light of the eel-red eyes seemed brighter and he reacted, "Your leader? How strong is he?! Dare to offend me, I'll kill your leader!"
The angry sound of the eel was heard echoing and making some passengers fall to the floor because of fear of dying. For them, the appearance of a giant eel figure in front of them was a sign that they would soon die.
"Our leader is a Martial Practitioner who is in the realm of Soul Mastery, he is a Soul Emperor. With his strength, he was able to destroy a mountain with just one finger." Weng Lou began to string the story in his head, hoping that the giant eel would be deceived and become frightened.
But Weng Lou's hope soon dissipated, as the great eel roared even more and more angrily at him, "Soul Mastery? Soul Emperor? Whatisit? I've never heard of it before! You're trying to play me, huh?!"
Weng Lou was speechless at all. How could this huge eel become so powerful yet so stupid? Even the Black Ape Fighter who was much weaker than him knew what a Soul Mastery realm was, and what a Soul Emperor was, but this eel said that he had never heard of it before.
But then Weng Lou immediately understood. This Huwa Islands environment has no Martial Practitioner who was in the realm of Soul Unification for centuries, it is likely that this eel has never met a living being that has power in the realm of Soul Mastery, so that his knowledge is very far compared to Weng Lou.
"Soul Mastery is a realm above Soul Unification! Soul Emperor was one of the levels in the realm. Our leader, he is almost five hundred years old, and he does not feel from this Huwa Islands" explained Weng Lou.
"Omong empty! The realm above Soul Unification? Hmp! I've only heard of it in fairy tales. You're just trying to trick me!"
With his furious voice, the giant eel began to move its extremely long body. The ship started shaking and was like it was going to capsize at any moment. Weng Lou gritted his teeth and began to risk everything at once.
"That's right! Our leader is such a strong person! If you don't believe it, then just kill us here! He will come and look for you! Then pull out your soul, and torture your soul for centuries!" Weng Lou exclaimed fearlessly and in a moment, the giant eel became silent and looked at Weng Lou deeply.
Although he did not believe in Weng Lou, he also did not want to take a risk by provoking the anger of such a strong person. Although he was confident that he could escape, but he would lose the territory he currently had.
As Weng Lou expected, the giant eel began to eat the bait he put.
"Hmp! You're grateful that I control this territory, if anyone else maybe you'll have me drowned. Hurry up, and don't make me rethink killing you!"
Hiding his worry, the giant eel moved back into the ocean and left the ship that was boarded by Weng Lou and the others.
"He was afraid," said the Black Ape Fighter with a mocking tone of voice.
"Yup, he's scared." Weng Lou nodded his head.
It seemed like her acting just now had been completely trusted by the giant eel. Not trivially large body, the eel's brain seems so small that it can be fooled by the acting of Weng Lou.
"Alright, let's go back to sailing everything! Hey, captain! Quickly rerun the ship, you didn't you eel it back, did you?" Weng Lou exclaimed and broke the silence.
The middle-aged man who had previously started to awaken from his daydream, and hurriedly did as Weng Lou had said. He did not want to meet that giant eel-like monster anymore. Right now he was already scared to death, if he met for the second time, then he would instantly die hanging on the spot.
Their ship departed once more, leaving the territory of the giant eel.
In the room of Weng Lou's group, Weng Lou who had entered directly went back to sleep, as well as Du Zhe who chose to sleep immediately. Meanwhile, Hong Mugui chose to stay awake all night. He had been unable to sleep since the appearance of the giant eel. Feelings of worry about the arrival of similar creatures continue to shadow her throughout the night
***
Time continued to pass, it did not feel 4 days were missed and today, the ship boarded by the group Weng Lou almost arrived on Gui Island. The captain of the ship they were on, they would arrive at night.
This was two days faster than when Hong Mugui's previous departure from Gui Island to Fanrong Island. This is because of the difference in wind direction from Gui Island to Fanrong Island, and vice versa, so they can get up to two days faster.
Right now, on the deck of the ship. Weng Lou was sitting casually on Du Zhe's body which was currently being pushed up with a reddened face.
"Ninety-eight...ninety-nine......" Weng Lou could not finish his count, as Du Zhe could not lift his body.
"Let's Du Zhe. Just one more time. If you can do it, then we'll add another exercise" Weng Lou said without pity on Du Zhe.
Du Zhe tried his hardest to lift his body. Sweat fell, and his face was completely red like a tomato. Hong Mugui who was watching that could only be speechless seeing the cruelty of Weng Lou training Du Zhe.
Four days at sea, the routine activities performed by Du Zhe were just exercises, while Weng Lou was busy training him. Every time Du Zhe broke his record, Weng Lou would add a portion of his training the next day.
Normally, children like Du Zhe who were trained to become Martial Practitioners would be taught slowly to strengthen their foundation little by little, and if it was deemed sufficient, then they would be able to do so, they will start getting into practice to become Martial Practitioners.
But what Weng Lou did was clearly much different. Not only did he force Du Zhe's body to reach its limits, he even happily made his disciple become desperate because of his words.
"Ak...kuu....paasstii......can you!!!!!" Du Zhe shouted and instantly raised his body with both hands.
"One hundred. Okay enough, you can rest" said Weng Lou.
*buk.....* Du Zhe's body instantly collapsed to the ground, and he was breathing with a gasp. Weng Lou descended from above her body, and left her.
Before long, he came back and brought her a glass of water that Du Zhe immediately received quickly. In the blink of an eye, the water instantly ran out, and Du Zhe heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Master....."
"En, good job. With a practice routine like this, chances are you can start your Martial Practitioner training in two weeks. But if you continue to practice until you reach your limits, you will be able to go even faster. But of course, such training was not good at all. I told you like that, because I just wanted to see how far your body can survive, and obviously, you can't get any more than this" Weng Lou told Du Zhe.
Du Zhe nodded in understanding at Weng Lou's explanation. During her training, she did not complain in the slightest, which made Weng Lou continue to praise her. Even so, he also knew his own limits, and he could feel that this exercise of reaching his body's limits would disintegrate him in a few more days.
"Thank you Master for giving me guidance." His head bowed respectfully to Weng Lou despite still being on the deck floor of the ship.
"It doesn't need to be like that, I'm your teacher. Training you is my duty."
Weng Lou's feet then stepped to the edge of the ship and stared at the shadows of the island they were about to reach.
"That's Gui Island, sir. The island is our destination. The Red Devil College Center was built on the island because I built it there first." Hong Mugui gave his explanation to Weng Lou who was seen observing.
"Em, I've heard it from you before about that. By the way, is there anyone else who is in the Soul Cleansing realm other than yourself at Red Devil College?" weng Lou asked without turning his face to Hong Mugui.
"No sir, the only one who is in the Soul Cleansing realm at Red Devil College is just me. But even so, there were still some people who did not join the Red Devil College that were in the Soul Cleansing realm. But still no one is stronger than me. They were mostly only at stages 2 and 3 only, so it didn't pose much of a threat to our Red Devil College."
"Is that so? Are they involved in an organization as well?"
"Yes sir, they all joined the organization. Some were mercenary leaders, some were heads of trade organizations, and some were like me, a leader of the martial arts college. There was even a forger who set up a weapons-making organization."
"Oh? It sounds like it's interesting. I can't wait to see them all." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Weng Lou's lips and his eyes were glimmered.
'Island Gui.' It looks like I can find other activities besides training Du Zhe there.'
