Chapter 33: Chapter 33

There was nothing else Cha Na could do other than to suppress the flames of fury deep inside his heart as he confronted the pushy yet powerful Sea King.

“So, you’ve agreed? Fine, I’ll accept it but the offerings have to be doubled!” the Sea King added on to the requirement.

“You…” Cha Na’s face was ghastly pale but he realized that he did not have the right to negotiate with the Sea King.

The audience finally saw the Sea King’s true appearance.

There were three blue stripes on both sides of his face like the gills of a fish while cyan-colored hair grew on his chest. With his approximately two meters in height, he successful subdued Cha Na’s imposing vigor although Cha Na was more than ten meters tall. He constantly exuded a dauntless aura, resembling a ferocious beast.

In the comment section:

“He looks so manly! But why is he not punching Cha Na? Go on and beat him up!”

“He is so strong! Cha Na is already bleeding after merely one punch! Is Poseidon possibly at Level 999?”

“Keep quiet please. I’ve already signed up to be a fan of Poseidon. I’m waiting for him to beat Cha Na up!”

“He has repressed Cha Na with one sole punch! So powerful! Is this character class available for the public? I want to advance my character class to be at Poseidon’s level!”

“Why are they chattering? Continue to fight please! I’ve prepared sunflower seeds and coke as snacks. Please, continue fighting! Don’t let me down now, Poseidon!”

……

“Why? Are you feeling reluctant?” the Sea King reached out his hand to summon his trident. It then whooshed out of the sea and landed perfectly in his grip.

Cha Na took a deep breath and said with a sour face, “I agree. Please dismiss your troops.”

“Haha!” upon Cha Na’s surrender, the Sea King’s scornful laughter reverberated across the atmosphere.

He took another disdainful glance at Cha Na before he let out a howl. All the sea monsters immediately rushed into the ocean.

“You should’ve known this earlier. Why did you send your envoy to provoke me? Cha Na, you have to understand that, in the underworld, your Land of Beiqi is divided. The place is extremely vulnerable. You’ve been living for so long. Do I still have to remind you that only the strongest will survive?”

After he finished his words, the Sea King jumped into the ocean and a wave appeared at the offing, moving speedily toward the Sea King.

Upon seeing the Sea King, a hint of resentment flashed across Cha Na’s eyes. He growled as he punched the ground heavily. As a result, the earth quaked and the mark of his fist was imprinted on the ground.

“Du Yan, you’re tired of living!”

……

In the comment section:

“We are balled up. Is the battle over?”

“I’m confused as well. What’s happening? Are they done?”

“What? Why did Poseidon stop? My sunflower seeds and Sprite are going to waste.”

“This is bad. I have to give this a poor rating. Poseidon is so unreliable! Why did he let Cha Na go?”

“Fuck, this battle ended right after I got excited? I’ve just taken off my pants!”

“I despise Poseidon. He seemed so strong at the beginning, but why did he leave after he merely attacked with some malicious words?”

“Although I couldn’t hear what they said, I think that Cha Na begged for forgiveness and Poseidon decided to spare his life.”

“The disgraceful Cha Na must have pleaded for forgiveness, or else he would have been battered!”

The live streaming channel was flooded with comments. The players were extremely unsatisfied with the Sea King’s decision to stop the fight during the climax of the battle. A lot of the players were upset.

Lu Wu closed the live streaming page before he turned to look at Bei Li who was still eating.

“Little Li, who is this guy?”

“Hmm?”

Bei Li was still chewing on food. With her puffed cheeks, she stared at Lu Wu, looking confused.

Lu Wu massaged his forehead before he pointed at the screenshot on the screen, “This guy with the hairy chest.”

Bei Li finally heard Lu Wu. She craned her neck, swallowed the food in her mouth and took a glimpse at the screen.

“The Sea King? He is a powerful character. He has fought multiple times with the Lord King of Beiqi.”

“He fought with my ancestors before?”

Bei Li nodded her head firmly. “Yes, they often fought with each other. The King of Beiqi would disturb the Sea King whenever he was free. There was one time when the King of Beiqi brought me along. I even witnessed as the Lord King of Beiqi pressed him on the ground and rubbed him against the floor. It looked so painful!”

Lu Wu was dumbfounded. “Why did my ancestors want to fight with him?”

Bei Li shrugged and replied, “Did he need a reason to start a fight? Perhaps, the Lord King of Beiqi wanted to bully him.”

“Bu… bully him?”

Upon recalling the domineering Sea King, Lu Wu massaged his forehead once again. His ancestor was really powerful if he was capable to pin a strong man on the ground to torture him. Just like what he expected, he was still far weaker than his ancestor.

“Oh, yes. Why are you asking about the Sea King?” Bei Li asked as she reached out for the bag of snacks, took out a box of chocolate and opened the wrapper.

As a reply, Lu Wu told her about the event he witnessed via the live stream just now.

“Cha Na was thrashed?” Bei Li was shocked at first. Then, she giggled. “He deserves it!”

“After the King of Beiqi’s death, the Sea King must have thought that he could never retaliate against the abuse he received. To vent his anger, he could only beat up the Lord King of Beiqi’s then subordinate.”

“Is the Sea King the strongest in the Underworld Sea?” Lu Wu asked.

“Pfft!”

Bei Li choked on the soda that she was drinking, “Cough… hahaha!”

Noticing that Bei Li was staring at him as if he was an idiot, he replied with a half-hearted smile, looking embarrassed, “What’s wrong?”

“Do you know how vast the Underworld Sea is? The Sea King is only an overlord of the water beside the Land of Beiqi. How can he be the king of the Underworld Sea? Even the Lord King of Beiqi couldn’t conquer the Underworld Sea during his heyday.”

“The Underworld Sea connects all the large domains of the underworld. Its area is almost as extensive as the land. Meanwhile, the Underworld Sea is divided into seven parts. The Sea King is merely one of the overlords among the seven sea areas. He doesn’t even dominate the sea area.”

“He can’t dominate one sea area even when he is so strong?”

Lu Wu was astonished by the Sea King’s true strength just now. He genuinely thought that he was a very powerful character.

Bei Li nodded. “Based on the Lord King of Beiqi’s words, the nearest sea area to us is known as the Void Ocean and the overlord of this sea area was Taowu. Allegedly, he is a formidable leader. Even the Lord King of Beiqi was no match for him when he was still alive. The Sea King is only Taowu’s underling who is in charge of a subarea.”

For a while, the room was silent as Lu Wu attempted to take in the information. Finally, he raised his head.

“Little Li, what do you think about forming a navy after we conquer Liuli District? If the Sea King attacks us with a blitz, we are not capable of defending ourselves at all.”

Bei Li nodded, acknowledging Lu Wu’s idea, “I’ve had the same thought before. However, we have to restore the equipment depot of the Mansion of the Dead first. There are a lot of blueprints inside the room, including the design of a Specter Ship which is able to grow by consuming raw materials. Restoring the place will be helpful for the development of our players’ abilities.”
