"Brother San, what do we do next?" Ning Rongrong asked Tang San.
"Let's go to the Vast Sea Spirit Arena first and see the fighting methods of sea Soul Masters." Tang San said after thinking for a while, resting his chin on his hand.
"Then, shall we go on stage and try it out? Xiangxiang, let's go together, we'll make a flying combination!" Ma Hongjun rubbed his palms.
Tang San shook his head, " Fatty, there's no need to participate, it's easy to attract attention. We need to keep a low profile... Amon is different from any opponent we've faced before, it would be terrible if he noticed us."
"Alright then, I'll listen to you." Ma Hongjun said with some regret.
Bai Chenxiang rolled her eyes, looking disgusted.
The group walked towards the Vast Sea Spirit Arena, but upon arriving, they were told that there were no matches today and they would have to come back tomorrow.
So, the group had no choice but to return disappointed.
They found an inn near the Spirit Arena.
At the entrance of the inn, they encountered "Klein" again.
"Hi..." Bai Chenxiang greeted with a smile.
"Hello." "Klein" nodded with a smile.
"Aren't you a local? Why would you come to an inn? Oh... I get it, I get it." Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun showed a slightly lewd smile in unison.
"Tch..." Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong spat.
"Klein" shook his head and said with a smile, "I live near here, well, this inn is my property."
"Huh?" Several people showed surprised expressions on their faces, "But when we were chatting at the city gate, didn't you say you were a fishing boat captain?"
"I did indeed make my fortune by fishing, that doesn't prevent me from doing some part-time jobs."
"Klein" said with a hint of a smile:
"By the way, I recently took over the auction house... but the thrill of fighting the wind and waves at sea makes me prefer going out to the ocean...
"Sometimes I can see strange waves, magnificent sunsets, and all kinds of interesting sea spirit beasts... I even had the good fortune to set foot on the island where the legendary god once lived... The sea is a very romantic place."
The island where the legendary god lived... Seagod Island!
The speaker said it intentionally, and the listeners took it to heart. Tang San and Dai Mubai exchanged glances, paying attention to this.
However, they did not rashly inquire, planning to wait a couple of days to see.
That night, the Shrek group gathered in a room to discuss matters related to "Klein."
"He said he's been to the island where the god once lived, if there are no accidents, that is Seagod Island." Dai Mubai said softly.
"But isn't Seagod Island a place where you can enter but not leave?" Ma Hongjun asked doubtfully.
Tang San responded, "That should be a restriction set for those who pass the trials and become Soul Masters of Seagod Island. If ordinary people accidentally enter, they may only be ordered to leave within a limited time."
"Then isn't that perfect? We can ask Klein to take us there." Ning Rongrong suggested.
"That's what I intend to do, but it's not appropriate to mention this to him too early, let's wait for Gehrman to see if he has any arrangements..." Tang San nodded.
"Do you have an agreement with him on how to meet?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"I really admire you guys, knowing that Amon is likely to have arrangements in Vast Sea City, you didn't even bother to disguise yourselves and just swaggered in, do you think his informants are blind?"
A shadow slowly emerged from the shadows of the sofa, gradually becoming three-dimensional, and then solidifying into a human form.
"Gehrman" appeared in front of them, looking at them with a stern face.
Tang San smiled slightly awkwardly, "I don't think we're famous enough for everyone to know us..."
"Gehrman" stared at Tang San:
"Others may not know you, but he knows you've had contact with me, and your talent is not bad, do you think he would specifically instruct people to pay attention to you?
"Our Blasphemer family is destined not to inherit divine positions because of our own bloodline, so he can guess that I will choose a talented person to support."
Tang San's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Then what should we do now?"
He thought Amon's main purpose was Gehrman, so he was somewhat negligent about himself.
"It's alright, I've already dealt with it." "Gehrman" replied.
After a pause, he continued:
"It is said that tomorrow there will be a spirit tool that can dive in the water appearing in the auction house, remember to bid for it. This can add an insurance to your sea voyage.
"Rent a boat, but be sure to find an experienced captain. However, as long as you say you are going to Seagod Island, most captains will not take this business, because the road is very dangerous.
"I will follow you to the sea near Seagod Island, but I will not enter with you."
After speaking, "Gehrman" once again turned into a cloud of shadow and disappeared without a trace.
"Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang..." Ma Hongjun smiled obsequiously, wanting to sleep in the same room with Bai Chenxiang, but was thrown out by the latter.
Early the next morning, Tang San led the Shrek people to the Vast Sea Spirit Arena.
They bought a few ordinary tickets and quietly watched from an inconspicuous corner in Spectator.
The Spirit Arena was not the circular arena that Tang San and others were familiar with, but a huge pool of water.
Zhu Zhuqing picked up a sign and read, "The Spirit Fighting Pool is circular, with a diameter of one hundred and eight meters and a depth of ten meters. Soul Masters who leave the vertical range of the Spirit Fighting Pool will be judged as defeated... voluntarily surrendering or losing the ability to fight will be judged as defeated."
"The rules are about the same, I just don't know what the fighting style of the Soul Masters is like." Ning Rongrong showed a curious look.
Soon, the first battle began.
This was a two-on-two match, with the spirit of the two sides being sea snake, sea dog, and sea cow, dolphin respectively.
After the match started, the two sides fought inextricably in the pool, constantly rising and falling. Occasionally, they would rise from the sea to the sky, but quickly fall again.
Ma Hongjun watched for a long time, only feeling that he had watched nothing. The battle of sea Soul Masters was not as clear at a glance as the land Soul Master competition. Both sides basically fought under the surface of the water, so they rarely saw the opportunity to show their faces.
They could only roughly judge their movements based on the fluctuations on the water surface and the occasional flashes of strong light.
"It's a bit boring, I really don't know why the tickets for this kind of competition sell so well." Ning Rongrong muttered.
Tang San looked serious, he said in a deep voice: "Didn't you notice? You can't even see your opponent's face during the battle. Imagine, if you were facing such an opponent in the sea, what could you do?"
Everyone's expressions changed, they roughly estimated that if they were on the sea surface without a foothold, Soul Masters two rings lower than them could exhaust them to death.
"Gehrman said that the road is not safe, even if you put aside the threat of Amon, you may encounter pirates at sea." Tang San reminded.
After watching the sea Soul Master competition, they came to the auction house with worry.
At this time, the auction had not been going on for long, and the host changed an item and said loudly:
"Next, we are going to auction a spirit tool. This thing can only return to its original shape after inputting soul power. It is a small boat four meters long and two meters wide, suitable for fishing enthusiasts to use in nearshore areas.
"It can also be used as a lifeboat after encountering a shipwreck. Continuously inputting soul power can make it move quickly on the sea surface. The starting price is five thousand gold soul coins."
There was a burst of boos from Spectator, and someone laughed, "Is this broken thing worth five thousand?"
The host was also a little embarrassed and couldn't say anything like value for money. In fact, when he estimated the price, he set the starting price at five hundred gold soul coins, but the new owner said that the starting price was five thousand, and he couldn't refute it. He just felt in his heart that this time it would probably be unsold.
At this moment, a voice came from the direction of the VIP seat: "Five thousand gold soul coins!"
The host was slightly stunned, thinking to himself where did this sucker come from, he hurriedly said: "This Mr. Three hundred and fifty-four has offered five thousand gold soul coins, is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?"
He asked perfunctorily several times, and then knocked the auction hammer on the table with a dong, dong, dong: "Five thousand gold soul coins for the first time, the second time, the third time, sold!"
Ning Rongrong muttered: "Such a broken thing actually sells for five thousand gold soul coins."
Tang San spread his hands helplessly and said, "Although this thing has extremely low cost performance, it is necessary for us. For the sake of safety, we can't save money in this place."
After the spirit tool boat was removed, the host introduced again with a distressed face:
"This time the auction item is still a spirit tool boat, and its performance is much better than the previous one."
He introduced this spirit tool in detail, and then announced the starting price of ten thousand.
Tang San and Ning Rongrong looked at each other, and the former said without hesitation: "Buy it!"
They once again bought the spirit tool boat at the reserve price.
"Oh... I knew I wouldn't have bought the last one, this one is obviously much better." Ning Rongrong complained.
Then, in the extremely astonished gazes of the two, the Dragon Abyss Boat was put on the auction stage.
Compared with the previous two boat-like spirit tools, the Dragon Abyss Boat was undoubtedly more comfortable and more functional. It could not only sail on the water, but also dive underwater.
After the auctioneer introduced it, he announced the starting price of 30,000 gold soul coins.
He looked at the VIP seat where Tang San was with some expectation... This starting price of 30,000 gold soul coins was also much higher than the actual value. According to his estimation, it would be difficult to sell it for 10,000.
The corners of Tang San's mouth twitched, and he seriously suspected that he had been tricked.
Ning Rongrong asked somewhat uncertainly: "Brother San, are we still buying it? Maybe the next auction item will be better."
Tang San hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said: "Buy it!"
What relieved him was that no similar spirit tools were auctioned off afterwards.
Ning Rongrong looked distressed when she went to pay. Even she couldn't remain calm after spending so many gold soul coins at once.
Tang San comforted himself: "It's not bad to prepare a few more hands. In case the spirit tool malfunctions or is damaged, there will be a backup."
"Klein" in the backstage of the auction house pinched the corner of his right eye, and a smile with a bit of mischievousness appeared on his face:
"I still have a very business mind, and I made tens of thousands of gold soul coins all at once..."
Although this didn't have any substantial benefits, gold coins were dispensable to him at his current level, but it made him feel happy.
Seeing the dazed and distressed expression on Tang San's face... it was even more pleasant.
