The warship was erratic on the surface of the sea, and even the crystal soul guide chandelier on the ceiling of the wide hall at the top of the deck shook slightly.

Xu Zihuang, Yao Yang, and Wang Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor, all opened their eyes at the same time, and the fluctuations of soul power that lingered in their bodies all converged at the same time.

The strange silver lines that exuded a strong halo gradually disappeared between Xu Zihuang's brows.

Looking at the strange eyes of Wang Yao and Yao Yang, he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Old Wang, big brother Yang, your cultivation speed hasn't improved?"

It was another few days of sailing, and Xu Zihuang was immersed in cultivation every day. He also has a preliminary understanding of another special ability given to him by the silver-scaled white whale.

Unlike the Eye of Fate bestowed on Huo Yuhao by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the original book, his ability can not only greatly enhance his spiritual power, but also accelerate his own cultivation speed.

He has carefully felt that when the silver lines between the eyebrows are stimulated, the cultivation speed is about one-third faster than that of normal cultivation.

And using this ability doesn't need to consume soul power as long as it is activated by mind power. The mental power consumed is also negligible.

"No, Zihuang" The expression on Yao Yang's face was very complicated, and he was speechless.

"Did you know? My cultivation speed right now is at least a quarter faster than before."

You should know that his soul power has already exceeded level 70, at this level, if you want to increase your soul power by one level, you often need to spend a lot of time accumulating.

And with Xu Zihuang's growth rate, of no more than six years, he has a chance to touch the bottleneck of level 80.

This ability is just perverted to the extreme.

"Young master, try not to show his ability in the future," Wang Xiao instructed on the other side with a dignified expression.

Xu Zihuang is now equivalent to the auspicious beast among soul beasts.

Once Xu Zihuang's ability is exposed, it will definitely unleash a storm in the soul master world, with the strength of the two of them, Xu Zihuang was unable to keep up at all.

"Uncle Wang is right." Yao Yang nodded and said firmly:

"It seems that the silver-scaled white whale is indeed the legendary auspicious beast, only auspicious beasts can obtain the attachment of heaven and earth energy."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and lightly touched the surrounding space filled with strong heaven and earth energy.

As a spirit soul master, he is extremely sensitive to changes in the energy of the heaven and earth around him.

The closer one is to Xu Zihuang's body, the stronger the heaven and earth energy are.

"Zihuang, I have read information about auspicious beasts from the ancient books passed down by the family, as the favorite of fate, auspicious beasts rarely encounter threats, there are only two reasons for threats."

"One is that he finds himself when it comes to an opponent whose fortunes are against him, another situation is that he is destined."

"Auspicious beasts have the ability to control their destiny, and there must be bottlenecks in their destiny, just like the soul master will also have the same bottleneck."

"And you, maybe it's his bottleneck or maybe it's his fate."

"Destination?" Xu Zihuang frowned.

He didn't know what was going on, but every time he remembered touching the silver scales between the eyebrows of the silver-scaled white whale, he always had a strange feeling.

He seemed that he had seen some images, but he had no impression of them.

As he raised his head and was about to continue talking to the two, he noticed a mirror in the corner of the room out of the corner of his eye.

His face was reflected in the mirror, soft and smooth skin, delicate facial features, and those light dark purple eyes that are slightly indifferent and noble.

Eyes?

Suddenly, Xu Zihuang had a flash of inspiration, and one of the images he saw seemed to be a pair of eyes, but no matter how he thought about it next, he couldn't think of that complete image.

"What's wrong, Zihuang?" Noticing Xu Zihuang's strange behavior, Yao Yang hurriedly asked in concern.

Xu Zihuang shook his head, "Okay, big brother Yang."

He didn't know how to tell the two of these things, and even if they did, he wouldn't make much sense.

"Young master, we will be entering the southern sea area of the Sun Moon Empire in a few days, let's go outside and prepare first." Wang Yi could see that Xu Zihuang didn't want to say anything else, so he got on top and left the room.

Yao Yang knowingly followed closely behind and left the room at Wang Xiao's side.

...

Walking slowly towards the mirror, Xu Zihuang carefully looked at himself in the mirror. After pondering for a long time, I found that in the end I still had no idea, so I had no choice but to stop fighting.

After more than a month of sailing, his shoulder-length black hair has reached a position that is almost close to his chest.

A few strands of purple hair were attached to his forehead and temples, and if he was viewed from the side, it was obviously a bit softer and less harsh.

This is because he has largely inherited his appearance from his mother.

The morning light streamed in from the window not far away, Xu Zihuang tied up his medium-length hair with a headband in front of the mirror, turned around, and left the room wearing only one shirt.

Now he is approaching the southern sea zone of the Sun Moon Empire, the temperature is completely different from the island where Xu Zihuang was imprisoned before.

In the distance, the waves rage, the sea, and the sky align, and the green clouds meet the blue sky.

Maybe because his situation had changed, he just felt that everything in front of him was so nice.

"Young Master" Seeing Xu Zihuang walking towards him, everyone on the deck saluted respectfully.

Among them, Meng Lang, who successfully fused the evil orc spirit ring, quickly followed Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang made a slight signal and took out a well-made fishing rod from the soul guide as usual.

The pole body is constructed of a ten-thousand-year-old sword bamboo pole, which is very sturdy and strong enough to withstand the force of thousands of cats.

The fishing line is made from the spider silk of the Ten Thousand Year Crypt Demon Spider, which turns crystalline yellow in the sunlight.

Everyone is an engineer at heart, so it's easy to make such a fishing rod, it's just that the materials used are a bit quirky.

Someone has already prepared bait on the edge of the deck, and it is a deep purple lobster, crystal clear, and imprisoned in iron cages, this amethyst lobster, Xu Zihuang, ate no less throughout the trip.

However, the amethyst lobster used as bait has a cultivation base of 10 years, after all, if the cultivation base is too high, few fish will dare to hunt them.

And the fishing line made of spider silk from the Ten Thousand Year Crypt Demon Spider can also guarantee that these amethyst locusts that have been cultivated for ten years will not be released.

When Meng Lang finished tying the bait, Xu Zihuang held the rod in his left hand and deftly threw it tens of meters, letting the amethyst shrimp fight in the sea.

He rests his arms on the deck rail and enjoys the sea breeze.

Several days have passed since he left the deep water area, during this time, Xu Zihuang used fishing to pass the boring time of sailing.

I don't know if it's due to his bad luck or his bad technique, but it's been a few days since he caught one.

But he didn't care much for him, anyway, he didn't fish for fishing's sake.

As he was asking Meng Lang about a few things about the Yuenan Islands, his mind gradually emptied, thinking of his next plan.

"Young master? It seems that a fish has been hooked?!"

Meng Lang suddenly exclaimed, and Xu Zihuang also suddenly widened his eyes. Seeing that the pulley was spinning rapidly, he quickly pulled the line.

It was only the sheer force of the shaft that nearly made him stagger.

"It is at least a few thousand cats." Xu Zihuang frowned and exerted strength with both hands at the same time, he has been taking various treasures of heaven and earth for a long time.

His body has been transformed by two-thousand-year-old soul rings and the outer soul bone of the Purple Brilliant Sky Destroyer Dragon's ancestor and his arm strength has reached an astonishing level.

The crackling and screeching sound came from the fishing rod and Xu Zihuang squatted on his knees and moved his center of gravity down.

Anyway, the fishing rod and fishing line are strong enough, even a thousand-year-old fish soul beast is hard to break.

Meng Lang was at a loss and wanted to help, but Xu Zihuang didn't ask, so he could only dryly step aside.

A burst of waves stirred violently in the sea, and everyone on the deck was also attracted.

Even millennial soul beasts rarely appear in the nearby sea area, and they all came here to see the excitement.

These days, Xu Zihuang and the others often mix, and their relationship is no longer so restricted.

"The young master has been fishing for so many days, and he finally got to catch one," someone jokingly said.

He too echoed.

"In terms of cultivation talent, I don't think I can compare to the young master, but when it comes to fishing..."

There were also people who pointed and taught Xu Zihuang some skills.

"What ability? It's nothing worth mentioning under the suppression of absolute power."

Beneath the onlookers of the crowd, Xu Zihuang chuckled, and not intending to continue consuming it any longer, he used his soul power to completely suppress it.

The axle is pulled and bent almost ninety degrees.

A giant cyan fish with a body length of more than three meters was finally pulled out of the water by Xu Zihuang.

This giant fish has a typically streamlined body, smooth body surface, and long pointed upper jaw, shaped like a sharp rapier.

As soon as it came out of the water, this strange fish stabbed at Xu Zihuang with its sharp upper jaw.

"Thousand Year Swordfish?!" Everyone reacted and prepared to intercept, and Meng Lang stood in front of Xu Zihuang without hesitation.

But just as Jianyu's sharp sword-like upper jaw was about to pierce Meng Lang's chest, Xu Zihuang's calm voice sounded soft.

"The second ability of the soul, the breaking of the mirror."

Deep red ripples passed by, and the stretched-out body of this millennium swordfish seemed to suddenly freeze.

The surrounding air became crystal clear, turning into a dark red translucent crystal, accurately measuring the body of the millennium swordfish, and completely enclosing the millennium swordfish.

"Bang-" the thousand-year-old swordfish encased in dark red crystals fell heavily onto the deck, leaving no gaps in it.

The degree of hardness can be imagined.

This is the second soul skill that Xu Zihuang obtained from the three thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca, which integrates control and destruction of the enemy.

Right now, what Xu Zihuang is using is actually only the first part of the mirror break, he can use the extremely hard dark red crystals to restrict the opponent's actions.

And the second part focuses on the shattered word, all the objects encased in this dark red crystal will shatter under his will, and soul masters of the same level as he has no chance to break free.

Furthermore, this soul ability is locked with mental power, not only can it lock multiple targets at the same time, but it is also instant.
