Chapter 14
Swish!
Amidst the boundless Bohai Sea, Wang Xian wiggled his tail forcefully . His attention was fully focused on the King of Ribbonfish right in front of him .
The King of Ribbonfish had a huge head that was equivalent to the size of Wang Xian . It opened its mouth slightly and revealed the lingering flesh of a small octopus on its teeth as it stared at Wang Xian viciously and wriggled its huge body towards him .
“Pre-emptive strike . ”
Wang Xian looked at the King of Ribbonfish . Wriggling his body, he shot out like a golden arrow at the King of Ribbonfish directly to attack it .
Swish!
The reaction of the King of Ribbonfish was a little beyond what Wang Xian had expected and its combat prowess was no weaker than a human when it was in the water . Its sharp teeth headed towards Wang Xian directly .
“I can’t attack it head-on . ”
Wang Xian saw the huge teeth of the King of Ribbonfish . He extended his dragon claws and acted as though he was ready for a direct clash .
Tssss .
Wang Xian seemed to have heard the roar of the King of Ribbonfish . It opened its mouth widely and revealed rows of sharp teeth within it .
A glimpse of craftiness flashed passed Wang Xian’s eyes . Just before they collided, he shifted his body and headed upwards while slashing his dragon claws towards the eyes of the King of Ribbonfish .
Wang Xian belonged to the “Nine Claws Divine Dragon” breed which was the supreme leader among the divine dragons . Although his claws were very small, they were extremely sharp .
The nine claws landed on the eyes of the King of Ribbonfish directly .
Just like a stone colliding with an egg, Wang Xian easily ruptured the eyes of the King of Ribbonfish .
“The intelligence of marine animals can’t be compared with me at all . Their attacks are very primitive and based on instincts . ”
Seeing the King of Ribbonfish wriggling its body violently, Wang Xian was pleasantly surprised . He dived towards it and bit onto the head of the King of Ribbonfish directly with his sharp jaws .
Crack crack crack .
Boom!
Wang Xian’s jaws sank into the head of the King of Ribbonfish and it struggled violently by wagging its tail towards Wang Xian’s body .
Wang Xian extended his claws and slashed ruthlessly on the body of the King of Ribbonfish . The sharp claws penetrated the body directly .
“Devour . ”
The vitality of the blinded King of Ribbonfish was getting weaker and weaker . Wang Xian opened his mouth and devoured the entire King of Ribbonfish directly .
“An direct increase of eighty-eight points of Dragon Energy . ”
Wang Xian’s eyes lit up as he felt his body getting substantially stronger once again .
I’m a divine dragon coupled with the intelligence of a human, slaying marine animals of the same level is an easy task . Even if I were to encounter level Two marine animals, I wouldn’t be wary .
Wang Xian thought to himself . Looking at the Ribbonfish that were scattering in all directions, he quickly gave chase .
One, two, three…
Soon, he had devoured seven to eight hundred ribbonfish . However, several hundred ribbonfish managed to escape too .
Wang Xian wasn’t too concerned about it . Wriggling his body, he looked at his surroundings .
There were a lot of seaweed and corals in this area and the sea resources in the vicinity were ample . It was especially so for octopuses, lobsters, sea cucumbers, jellyfish and swimming crabs .
“I’ll definitely capture some lobsters and swimming crabs when I head back tonight . ”
Looking at the lobsters and swimming crabs around him, he suddenly had a craving .
If one would like to have some lobsters or swimming crabs, it would easily hit six hundred dollars . If he was to head to First-grade Seafood Restaurant, it would probably cost six to seven hundred dollars per person .
Wang Xian licked his lips before continuing to devour marine animals in the vicinity at a frantic pace .
“Eh? There’s a small island ahead . ”
Wang Xian noticed an island when he looked ahead . However, the area of the island wasn’t very big .
He didn’t pay much attention to it as he turned his attention towards a sea snake in front of him .
Sea Snake: Level One
Extractable Dragon Energy: 44
“Sea snake! I’d better not mess with it . ”
Wang Xian took a few more glances at that sea snake before taking a detour around it to capture other marine animals .
Sea snakes had lethal poison . Even though they weren’t as strong as the King of Ribbonfish, they had lethal poison with them . If he was poisoned to death, it would be tragic .
“That’s a sea turtle . ”
Wang Xian noticed that a sea turtle that was approximately a meter long was swimming near the rocks below the island .
Sea Turtle: Level Three
Extractable Dragon Energy: 988
“The sea turtle is level three . ”
Wang Xian was rather shocked by that greenish sea turtle . A sea turtle was a rather docile marine animal but one shouldn’t underestimate the strength of a sea turtle .
Although sea turtles don’t have teeth, they have sharp edges inside their mouth that are sharper than teeth . These sharp edges could easily crush one’s finger . Moreover, a sea turtle of the size of close to a meter would definitely be more vicious .
“In mythical legends, Dragon Palace would have a Turtle as Prime Minister . When I upgrade marine animals in the future, I could also upgrade a turtle to be the Prime Minister . ”
Sea turtle gave off the impression of intelligence and longevity . In Journey to the West, Prime Minister Turtle was 9,000 years old and would handle various kinds of matters of the Dragon Palace . Its role was similar to the Prime Minister in an ancient kingdom . [1]
Wang Xian had decided to get a strong Prime Minister Turtle for himself in the future .
“It’s a shame that my level is still too low . If I wish to upgrade marine animals, I would have to at least wait till I have raised my level to level Three . ”
Wang Xian thought to himself . In the Divine Dragon Transformation, to upgrade marine animals would first involve manifesting the intelligence of marine animals before imparting upon them the cultivation arts .
This would require a large amount of dragon energy and would at least be a thousand points of dragon energy .
Currently, Wang Xian only possessed an overall four hundred points of dragon energy .
“I’m going to level up quickly and get my own subordinates . ”
Wang Xian wiggled his body and devoured the marine animals around him rapidly .
“There’s a large humphead wrasse ahead . ”
At this moment, he saw a fish that weighed approximately a hundred jin . It was a humphead wrasse!
Humphead wrasse: Level One
Extractable Dragon Energy: 44
“I can extract forty-four points of Dragon Energy . Haha . ”
Wang Xian got excited . Moving his body, he launched his attacks rapidly towards the humphead wrasse .
The humphead wrasse sensed danger approaching and wiggled its tail to swim away .
“Do you think you can escape?”
A smile appeared on Wang Xian’s face . He accelerated immediately and extended his dragon claws ahead . Although he wasn’t big in size yet, he still emanated an aura of power and prestige .
“Hehe, there’s no place for you to escape to anymore . ”
The humphead wrasse that was close to a meter long escaped below the island . Wang Xian immediately accelerated .
Crack!
However, at this moment, something shocked Wang Xian . When the humphead wrasse swam to a position beside the rocks, the rock-like object closed immediately and devoured the humphead wrasse that was almost eighty centimeters long .
Astonishment was written all over Wang Xian’s face . He immediately stopped and looked ahead .
“That is…?”
Wang Xian got closer and noticed that the “rock” wasn’t a real rock but the disguise of a type of living thing .
“That’s a sea clam . How is it possible that there’s such a big sea clam?”
Wang Zheng was shocked . It was a brownish-colored sea clam in the shape of a fan . The entire sea clam was extremely huge and spanned close to two meters . Looking at it, it looked simple and heavy .
Sea clam: Level 6
Extractable Dragon Energy: 9,987
“It’s level is level six . Moreover, I could get extract close to ten thousand points of Dragon Energy from it . ”
Wang Xian opened his eyes widely and stared fervently at that huge sea clam .
