Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 692 - 343: Water Element Law, the Unlucky Zhang Yi
Previously on Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls...
Witnessing this, a flicker of joy ignited within Fang Yu’s heart.
Although the fusion ultimately matched the power of the Water Element Law, which might not seem substantial, it validated Fang Yu’s chosen path. He simply hadn't become accustomed to it yet, preventing the fusion from reaching its imagined potential. However, with familiarity, its power could grow, far from its upper limit. At the very least, it proved to Fang Yu that the peak of law fusion vastly surpassed specializing in a single law.
...
After a brief recovery, Fang Yu rose, tidied himself, and prepared to disembark to address lingering matters from the previous day. Yet, as he was about to depart the vessel, he observed several Blue Star Sea Ships, either deliberately or by chance, obstructing his ship’s path, effectively barring its exit from Nanhui City.
"Hmm?"
Fang Yu’s expression shifted, his gaze fixed on these vessels with a slight frown.
"Luu Yuan, come here!"
Fang Yu beckoned Luu Yuan closer and inquired in a low voice, "What’s happening? Why are these sea ships blocking our departure?"
Luu Yuan seemed momentarily surprised. His eyes scanned the Blue Star Sea Ships Fang Yu indicated, a sense of unease dawning upon him. How had these ships appeared after he’d just rested? Furthermore, Nanhui City, the central hub of the South Island Continent, boasts numerous ports capable of docking hundreds of thousands of sea ships. The fact that these few ships specifically positioned themselves around his vessel boded ill.
Just then, navigators emerged from these obstructing sea ships. Meeting Fang Yu and Luu Yuan’s stares, they showed no apprehension. Instead, a bold, malicious smile played on their lips as they met their gaze.
Seeing their smiles, Luu Yuan’s eyes narrowed, a sharp glint of danger appearing. Were a few mere warship-class vessels truly daring to provoke them? If they were not in this safe zone but in the open sea, these ships would likely never see another sunrise.
At that moment, Luu Yuan recognized one of the ship captains, finding him somewhat familiar. After a moment’s thought, Luu Yuan suddenly recalled, pulling Fang Yu aside with a grave expression. "Captain, I’ve encountered this individual on the forum. He was quite arrogant and attention-seeking online, flaunting his connections with the Zhang Clan and acting superior because of it."
"Could these be ships dispatched by the Zhang Clan to keep tabs on us?" Luu Yuan mused quietly.
Hearing Luu Yuan’s words, Fang Yu glanced toward the distant sea ships. A subtle shift occurred within him, and he responded not with worry, but with a smile.
He nodded slightly, a gentle smile on his face, and instructed Luu Yuan to maintain a close watch on these ships. Following this, he swiftly disembarked, heading towards the Essence Feast Mansion.
Luu Yuan was left alone on the ship, perplexed.
What was going on? The Captain was aware that the Zhang Clan’s vessels had targeted them, yet he displayed no concern, only a hint of amusement. These surveillance ships were undoubtedly here to report back. The Zhang Clan’s Patriarch was expected soon, and he wouldn't arrive alone, surely bringing numerous subordinates with him. Dealing with the Patriarch alone, on the level of a Dragon Ship, was already a significant challenge; facing additional Zhang Clan members would be even more daunting.
Luu Yuan furrowed his brow, but his unwavering trust in Fang Yu assured him that the Captain must have a plan. He then assigned several crew members to continuously monitor the suspicious ships while he himself dedicated his efforts to gathering intelligence on the Zhang Clan’s movements through the forum.
However, neither Fang Yu nor Luu Yuan were aware...
At this very moment, in a sea region far off, the Zhang Clan’s Patriarch, Zhang Yi, was staring with a mixture of horror and rage at the figure before him.
A young man with a scarred countenance stood opposite him, a cold smile gracing his lips as he brutally dispatched a crew member on the spot. With each of his movements, the rhythmic sound of surging tides seemed to accompany him.
This individual was none other than the Alchemy Soul, Yuanqi.
How had the Zhang Family Patriarch encountered Yuanqi? And why was Yuanqi mercilessly slaughtering Zhang Clan crew and subordinates?
The tale unfolds as follows:
That morning, Yuanqi had already received news of a certain operation’s disastrous failure, filling him with intense irritation. Given Yuanqi’s temperament, such vexation necessitated a violent outlet.
Swiftly traversing the ocean, he happened upon the Zhang Clan’s fleet, which was en route to Nanhui City. Both parties were focused on their destination. Their paths converging was, therefore, a natural occurrence.
Upon sighting the fleet ahead, Yuanqi’s initial surprise quickly morphed into overwhelming delight.
He identified these vessels as belonging to the Blue Star Sea Ships, and their complete destruction would likely not lead to complications or incite a major inquiry from the Ocean Court. Consequently, the agitated Yuanqi immediately plunged towards the fleet, discovering an avenue to vent his overwhelming fury. Observing the stunned Blue Star crew, Yuanqi erupted into hearty laughter before clenching his fist. Immediately, an immense power derived from the Water Element Law was unleashed upon the sea vessels. As an Alchemy Soul born from the Tide, Yuanqi possessed an unparalleled innate comprehension of the Water Element Law, effortlessly channeling it to draw forth all the surrounding water.
