Suddenly, he gave the others a look…
The group immediately understood, chiming in one after another, "That's right, that's right, with two leaders guiding us, we can definitely hold off these sea soul beasts!"
"If there's anything we need to do, Elder Mu and Elder Xu, please just give the command, we will have no objections!!"
"Mhm! The success of this plan affects the safety of everyone aboard the Giant Wheel, so we entrust it to Elder Mu and Elder Xu!"
Their tone and expressions had undergone a tremendous change compared to before!
Only then did Shen Yi stand up straight and coldly chide, "You were all distrustful of Xu Sheng just a moment ago, and now you've all recognized your mistake!"
Xu Sheng smiled faintly, "There's no helping it, the soul power fluctuations I emitted were only at the Soul Sage level, and I'm too young."
It seems I can't just stand by and watch this time!
Tapping into his dominating presence, Sect Master Mu turned his gaze toward Xu Sheng and spoke, "Elder Xu, since everyone says so, let's you and I discuss how to deal with the sea soul beasts."
Feeling the intense pressure surging towards him, Xu Sheng spoke with an air of nonchalance, "There's no need for formalities, Sect Master Mu. You're my elder, so please go ahead and devise the plan!"
Speaking of which, in terms of sheer age, even his ancestors would suffice!
Hearing this, Sect Master Mu's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought to himself, "Hiss… This youngster is indeed not simple. Despite bearing the pressure I'm exerting in secret, he doesn't even need to deploy soul power to resist it effortlessly!"
His true strength must, at the very least, reach Titled Douluo!
After giving Xu Sheng a deep look, Sect Master Mu turned his sights to the others and said in a cold voice, "Then I will not decline any further!"
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Everyone should be aware that the combat effectiveness of sea soul beasts greatly increases in the water, and this time, the attacking sea soul beasts include hundred-thousand-year sea soul beasts, so, we must use our soul skills for restraint!"
Pan Wen, half-doubting, asked, "Sect Master Mu, are you suggesting… we use soul skills to create an environment isolated from the ocean in order to deal with the sea soul beasts?"
Sect Master Mu nodded affirmatively and said, "Exactly! Only by doing this can we significantly reduce the combat effectiveness of the sea soul beasts!"
If it were only him, he could totally annihilate all the sea soul beasts with the terrifying offensive capability of mechas!
But now, they were on the heavily populated Giant Wheel, where using such a level of attack might cause repercussions!
Therefore, it was imperative to avoid any impact on the Giant Wheel due to the battles between soul masters and sea soul beasts!
Upon this statement, some soul masters began to respond, "Sect Master Mu, my Martial Soul is particularly adept in that area!"
"As is mine, affecting the terrain factors for a short duration, it's a piece of cake!"
"Me too, me too! Please be sure to include me!"
Counting carefully, there were a good dozen soul masters possessing such soul skills!
Sect Master Mu then nodded with satisfaction and went on, "Next, we need soul masters capable of using protective soul skills! We must ensure the safety of the Giant Wheel from all sides!"
Naturally, another dozen soul masters were quickly selected!
Sect Master Mu took a deep breath, his tone serious, "Lastly, the individuals responsible for slaying the sea soul beasts, including myself and Elder Xu, are the soul masters whose soul power rank has reached the Soul Douluo level!"
"Everyone, no objections, right?"
Naturally, no one had the slightest objection!
"Worthy of being Sect Master Mu, such a detailed plan gives me complete confidence now!"
"That's right, mere sea soul beasts, how could they stop us?"
"It seems entrusting the safety of the entire Giant Wheel to Sect Master Mu is the correct choice!!"
Only Xu Sheng looked at Sect Master Mu with surprise, thinking to himself, "This Sect Master Mu, is he so concerned about demonstrating his power?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically mentioned that he's a "Soul Sage"!
Just then, another guard came up from the lower deck to the main deck, his expression tense as he reported, "Secretary-General Pan and all esteemed guests, the sea soul beasts will arrive in about fifteen minutes. Please make your battle preparations!"
With a nod, Mu Ye said, "Everyone, do as we've just discussed! As for the Soul Masters who have nothing else to do, they can use the soul cannonballs on the Giant Wheel or the mechas to launch long-range attacks on the sea soul beasts!"
...
At this moment, in the lower level of the Giant Wheel!
Most people were going about their usual free activities, but a few were regretful and even nervous about having been chased down from the deck.
Among this small group were naturally Tang Wulin and his companions!
Xie Xie propped up his chin, curious, "Hey, what do you guys think Teacher Xu and the others are doing up on the deck? They're so secretive!"
Xu Xiaoyan shook her head, "I don't know, but kicking all the Soul Masters below Soul Sage down here probably means they're discussing something important!"
Ye Xinglan frowned, "Could it be... that we're really about to face an attack from a sea soul beast? That's the only possibility I can think of!"
Xu Lizhi scratched his head, "But, Sister Xinglan, everyone else seems to think it's normal. Could we be overthinking it?"
Gu Yue cut him off, "No... It's definitely not normal. Otherwise, why would they limit the Soul Masters below Soul Sage to the lower level? It's likely they're worried about us getting caught up in the battle!"
Her true form was that of the Silver Dragon King, so she was particularly sensitive to soul beasts!
With a rough perception, she could sense that many soul beasts were swiftly approaching the Giant Wheel!
Of course, this was not something she could announce publicly!
Tang Wulin nodded, saying earnestly, "Yeah! I have the same premonition. Let's prepare for the worst!"
Then, he glanced covertly at Gu Yue...
Thinking to himself, "If I can sense it, Gu Yue probably can too."
Xie Xie glanced at them and suggested, "Hey, if we're all interested, why don't we just go up to the deck?"
Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, "That would be nice, but we can't just go up there. Remember, there are four or five guards making sure of that!"
Ye Xinglan's beautiful eyes lit up, "Xie Xie, do you have a way to get to the deck?"
Xie Xie might act clueless at times, but he wouldn't make such a statement without being sure.
A smirk appeared on Xie Xie's lips, "Of course. I've already familiarized myself with the structure of this Giant Wheel—a stroll to the deck is child's play, right?"
Some passages might be hidden, but with his clever mind, he could find them in minutes!
Xu Lizhi, in his simple-hearted manner, raised a thumbs-up, "Xie Xie, you're awesome!"
Xie Xie touched his nose, "Keep it down, keep it down!"
Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "Gu Yue, what do you think of this idea?"
After pondering for a few seconds, Gu Yue spoke, "We could give it a try! Even if it's just to witness the fight of the powerful warriors in case of a sea soul beast attack, we could learn a lot!"
She paused before adding, "Xie Xie, lead the way!"
