-If Friend Whale has not returned within one month, we should jointly elect a new Gang Leader. If he comes back however, there will naturally be no need for
a discussion.”
After saying this, Shen Gai looked around the room.
“I disagree.”
Xu Yiren, with a cold expression, stood up.
“Considering the cultivation level of the Whale Gang…Whale Falling Chen, one closed-door training session alone could take three to four months. One month is too short. What if he suddenly returns just as we elect the new Gang Leader.”
“So Xu, how long do you think should be appropriate?
Shen Gai asked with a smile.
-I think the minimum time should be half a year or even a year.” Xu Yiren
confirmed.
“What do you think?”
Shen Gai shrugged, looking at the others with a smile.
-I think one month’s time is sufficient! Half a year is too long, and by that time,
there could be disorder in the whole gang.”
Yang Wanshou stood up while stroking his neatly trimmed white beard.
“I also think one month is too long. I don’t want to stay in one place for half a
year.” Zhang Tianluo complained.
Wang Yin Xian remained silent.
“Friend Xu, what’s your opinion?”
Realizing that no one supported her, Xu Yiren turned to seek help from Xu Mu.
It’s safe to say that Shen Gai’s tactics are clever. The attitudes of the three others were quite clear. For the whole gang, apart from Xu Mu, who was a newcomer, if it weren’t for Whale Falling Chen over the years, Xu Yiren’s current position as the vice Gang Leader might have been taken by someone else.
After all, her strength was not considered strong, and her qualifications were also limited.
“I also think one month is enough.”
Whether Whale Falling Chen is dead or alive, no one knows better than him.
He naturally doesn’t want to drag things on.
He even wants to elect the new Gang Leader right now, to avoid having to travel again after some time.
He wants to get the essence of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark out of his hands as soon as possible and experience the power of the Twelve Startle
Cicada Skill earlier.
As for the pleading look in Xu Yiren’s eyes, he pretended not to notice it.
“Friend Xu, it seems that everyone thinks this way.”
Shen Gai smiled as he looked at Xu Yiren.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Gai replaced the title of ‘vice
Gang Leader’ in his address to Xu Yiren with ‘Friend’.
“All right! One month, then!”
Xu Yiren grit her teeth, feeling as if she had been deserted by everyone.
“But this month, I will manage Black Tide Market!
“All right!”
Shen Gai’s eyes flickered slightly, but he agreed.
No one else objected, only Xu Mu shook his head quietly in his mind.
This woman really has no sense.
The time of one month is already pressing enough. Instead of freeing herself up to pull in allies, she’s hell-bent on piling on more responsibilities.
Won’t she even think that after the new Gang Leader is elected, while she is managing the two markets now, they would allow her to continue managing them?
To anyone with discerning eyes, it’s clear that Shen Gai is the most apparent candidate to take the position of Gang Leader.
Xu Yiren is on her last legs.
Her only course of action should be to pledge allegiance to him, rather than trying to get the pitiful gains in front of her.
This matter, however, has nothing to do with him. He is just a passerby.
After everyone had left upon settling the matter, Xu Yiren called out to Xu Mu a few times. Xu Mu, as if he had not heard her, vanished the next moment, which infuriated Xu Yiren, who stamped her feet and her chest trembled for a long time.
“He’s such an ungrateful wretch!”
She then tried to find other people, but no one wanted to heed her.
On the other hand, Xu Mu, who had returned to his cave dwelling, began to count his winnings from the expedition.
A tier-six pill furnace!
An orb of Phantom Thunder Silver Shark essence blood!
The essence blood of the cultivator imbued in the cauldron along with the demon core of a Phantom Thunder Silver Shark!
The demon core was discovered within the shattered stone surface.
In the entire ruins, the only unique object was that stone mask, and Xu Mu obviously wouldn’t overlook it.
Because the mask was too large, he had no way of taking it away.
So he simply destroyed it and subsequently found a silver bead within it. After examination, it was found to be a solidified demon core.
Considering that a silver phantom thunder was once released from the mask, it goes without saying who the owner of the demon core was.
Apart from these, there were also the storage pouches of the six individuals. Whale Falling Chen had a set of tier-five flying blades and spiritual artifacts, along with three superior Spirit Stones, one hundred twenty-five middle-grade Spirit Stones, a few robes, and various miscellaneous materials. The other five people provided seven tier-four spiritual artifacts, one tier-five spiritual artifacts, eight superior Spirit Stones, more than eight hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones, over ten martial method books and a pile of various materials.
There were fifty to sixty robes, among which three were intimately worn and fragrant. As for how they were obtained?
Obviously, they were retrieved by Xu Mu’s hard work!
“I spared your lives. It’s not too much to ask for some repayment, is it?”
If he wasn’t worried about attracting too much trouble, he’d surely entertain the idea of refining them into a pill.
Having arranged the spoils of this trip, Xu Mu took out the essence blood of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark and began refining it.
More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The originally silver-white blood, after continuous refining, reduced from a cluster to a drop. The color didn’t change drastically, only its luster becoming more rich, and it was continuously flashing with silver lightning arcs.
If you stare closely at this drop of blood, you will soon discover that this drop of blood seems not to be composed of liquid, but tiny silver sand-like particles.
These silver sands constantly flow, as though they possess life.
With the flow of these silver sands, thin silver-white lightning arcs are born from their collisions.
An ordinary person who stares too long would feel as if their soul were being sucked into it.
As if the entire world had turned into a sea of silver flow sand.
The present Phantom Thunder Silver Shark essence blood had reached the limits of Xu Mu’s ability to refine.
“The essence blood of a beast of this grade should be enough!”
After resting for a day and adjusting his spirit to its best state, he activated all the defensive arrays in his cave dwelling, ensuring there were no dangers. He swallowed the essence blood of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark in one gulp, simultaneously operating the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill, integrating it wholly with himself.
The process of refining the essence blood went smoothly, after all, his Twelve Startle Cicada Skill was already close to the Perfection stage, and the essence blood he was refining was of the same attribute. As long as he didn’t mess up, the probability of something going wrong was very low.
A few days later, Xu Mu walked out from his dwelling. There didn’t seem to be any noticeable changes to his body.
He floated gracefully through the air, quickly reaching the sea surface, took off his boots and coat, leaving only his intimate clothes, then plunged into the water.
The moment he entered the water, the essence blood of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark within his body was stimulated, and his body began to undergo rapid changes.
First, his black hair transformed into silver-white, like threads of silver. Within his black pupils, a sandy liquid began to appear.
With a sizzling sound, bouts of red gills opened up on both sides of his cheeks. Between his fingers and toes, membranes similar to frog foot webbing appeared. His arms, shins, and back all sprouted silver fins that were as sharp as blades.
His originally white-as-jade skin seemed to be coated with a layer of silver luster, sparkling brilliantly.
His body inflated suddenly, like a puff of air, growing larger and burly, resembling a small giant.
A sense of power began to germinate within Xu Mu!
By the time his body was fully submerged in water, Xu Mu immediately felt like a fish in the sea.
The sea water, which was initially a hindrance to him, had now turned incredibly comfortable. Without having to release his divine intent, things within a thousand-meter radius flooded into his mind through his skin.
This feeling was completely different from the divine intent, and was somewhat similar to the flame perception he had obtained before.
What was even more miraculous than that was that the surrounding sea water seemed to have become an extension of his limbs, giving him a feeling of going with the flow when facing the surging waves.
He lightly stroked his hands and immediately felt a strong propulsion. Sea water no longer hindered him, but instead became a helping force. His entire body, like a silver thunderbolt, instantly burst tens of feet forward.
“So that’s how it is!”
Reflecting on how Zhang Tianluo operated underwater before, Xu Mu finally understood why she could travel at such a swift speed by merely paddling her hands and feet.
And now, he was even faster than her.
In addition to this, breathing was no longer a problem.
Although cultivators can rely on skills to stay underwater for a long time, when a fight breaks out, it becomes challenging to sustain the skill. Respiration eventually becomes a major drawback.
He also couldn’t feel the pressure that the sea water originally exerted on him. The empowerment from just these two aspects greatly improved his combat capability underwater.
“At this point, I shouldn’t be much worse off than the real Sea Race, right?!”
