Chapter 228: Fighting Black Shark Again
As they talked and laughed, they flew out of the island, into the huge cloud of white fog. As they traversed through the mist, SongZhong felt a little chilly, before realising that his body was without any clothes. Hurriedly putting on his robes, this made the 9 demonic witches giggle as they too put on their clothes.
At this moment, SongZhong under the effects of both the Primal Natal Fire as well as the Blood River Pattern, actually broke through past the Late Foundation Stage to become a Perfect Foundational Stage Cultivator. He actually jumped 2 ranks in one go! If he were to advance one more step in cultivation, he would be of the JinDan realm.
Due to the increase of their master’s strength, the demonic witches had some form of improvements too, and now possessed a JinDan stage cultivation. Furthermore, due to the Primal Natal Fire’s baptism, the celestial demonic witches had finally integrate themselves fully into their host bodies. In the past, even though they had completed a physical possession of the body, it was not a perfect possession after all. There existed signs of rejection between the demonic witches with their host bodies. Thus, the host bodies were incapable of exhibiting the full capabilities of the demonic witches. In addition, after becoming the demonic witches, they were not able to cultivate properly.
However, everything was different now. Because of the Primal Natal Fire, both the demonic witches and their host bodies were seamlessly fused, as though they were two halves of a whole to begin with. The cultivator had fully become the demonic witch, without any difference between them anymore. Not only were their abilities interchangeable, but they also obtained a huge boost to their strength. There was an 80% chance that, when SongZhong reached the FenShen cultivation stage in the future, they would become existences of the LianXu stage.
Thus, for accidentally intruding into the Bewildering Island, to SongZhong, it was a case of profiting from a disaster. Be it himself or the demonic desire witches, it could be said that they have reaped substantial benefits. Especially for SongZhong, the blood essence of the Black Tortoise within the Blood River Pattern was completely absorbed by him, strengthening his fleshy body to a great degree. Coupled with the effect from the Primal Natal Fire, SongZhong’s current body const.i.tution could be said to be beyond perverse. He was now impervious to ordinary magical artifacts, and if he were to get into a brawl with the Black Shark King at this point, he had absolute confidence to beat him bonkers!
To have reaped such a tremendous harvest naturally made SongZhong ecstatic. As he proceeded back, he hummed a small tune while hugging his demonic witches, attempting to leave the bewildering formation set up in the vicinity as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, days pa.s.sed.
SongZhog finally stepped out of the Bewildering Ocean with the aid of the Obstruction Destroying Immortal Note. Bringing along his nine beauties, he finally lay foot on the outside world. Seeing the bright suns.h.i.+ne as well as the great ocean which stretched as far as one could see, this made SongZhong, who had been surrounded by fog in the last few days, to want to burst out into tears. Thus, he could not help but face towards the skies and let out a long howl!
With his strength of a Completed Foundational Stage Cultivator, a howl from his vocals would definitely be world-shaking! The sea below him rippled and churned in resonance to his howling, as though a gale was blowing across them.
After he had vented his emotions through yelling, SongZhong’s heart felt a lot better. Just as he was about to mount his flying sword and set off, he noticed that he had been surrounded by a group of Black Sharks.
Were it from before where SongZhong had yet to enter the bewildering ocean, upon seeing this scene, he would have fled without uttering a single word. However, this is now different from the past! The SongZhong right here and now had already been purified and baptised by the Primal Natal Fire, and had even absorbed the essence from the Blood River Pattern, thus he did not fear the Black Shark King anymore.
Seeing the black sharks in front of him, not only did he not run, but in fact decided to stay. As the saying goes: “A clay man is still thirty percent clay”[1], let alone the SongZhong who isn’t afraid of heavens or earth! Previously when he got beaten up so badly by the Black Shark King, he slipped into a coma for three days and three nights. He even wandered into the Bewildering Ocean, where there was only entry and no escape. This was practically a narrow escape for him. For this feud, SongZhong originally thought he had to wait a few years before taking his revenge. After all, the Eastern Ocean was so vast, so how could he encounter the Black Shark King as and when he liked? Luckily, the moment he extricated himself from the fog, the subject in question had already came knocking on his door.
[1]: This saying is telling us that even a person who had evolved from clay still retains some parts of themselves which were their original form. Thus saying that old habits die hard, referring to the way SongZhong is not afraid of anyone.
For an intelligent person like SongZhong, how could he not know that the other party had been lying in wait for him from the start? That b.a.s.t.a.r.d caused him so much pain and trouble, and still wanted to ambush him outside the bewildering ocean. Evidently, the Black Shark King wanted to eliminate him at any cost! This had further intensified the flames of fury inside SongZhong’s heart.
Having been angered thoroughly, he reacted viciously without any hesitation. Without a word, his body flashed, and appeared above one of the black shark’s head, before whirling his ten feet tall bell and smas.h.i.+ng it down.
The weight of the bell was similar to a small mountain and coupled with Little Fatty’s frightening arm strength, the moment it came cras.h.i.+ng onto the black shark’s head, its skull was smashed to a paste without the shark having any chance to cry out. That particular smashed had caused its brains to flew over a hundred feet high, which intimidated the surrounding black sharks till they almost fainted.
Seeing how frightening SongZhong was, how would those black sharks still dare to remain on the surface of the sea? They hurriedly fled to the bottom of the sea. At the same time, a fifth-grade black shark did not forget to shout angrily: “Darn Fatty, don’t be too happy. My big brother is on the way, your death date shall be today!”
“Cheh! You think I’m scared of him?” Little Fatty smiled coldly. “I shall wait here for him. I want to see whose death date it is today!”
As he finished, SongZhong could not be bothered to continue talking with that fellow, and sat down cross-legged on top of his bell, leisurely waiting for the arrival of the black shark king.
The black shark king did not let SongZhong wait for long either. With only the time taken to cook a pot of rice, the originally sunny and cloudless skies were suddenly obfuscated by layers of dark clouds, and following which, a downpour started.
The difference this time was that SongZhong did not need to use any skills to ward off the rain, as the Blood River Pattern flared up on its own, forming a green-coloured protective s.h.i.+eld which isolated him from the rainwater. At the same time, SongZhong felt extremely comfortable, as though the surrounding rainwater had become extremely intimate with him. Traces of spiritual Qi could also be seen following the Blood River Patterns and entering his body, making him feel extremely relaxed.
