Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 711 - 350: Tremendous Gains, The Trapped Ones (Part 3)
Previously on Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls...
Following the conclusion of the battle, the officials overseeing the combat power rankings promptly released a synchronized video onto the Blue Star Captain’s forum, presenting it for the perusal of countless Blue Star Captains.
Upon witnessing Fang Yu’s decisive act of killing Zhang Yi on the spot, the forum instantly ignited into a frenzy.
"He actually killed him?! Unbelievable!"
"Damn it!"
"How could this possibly happen?!"
"This... the Zhang Clan, such a formidable consortium, utterly annihilated by Fang Yu's hands?"
"Everyone, remember the saying, 'When a whale falls, life arises.' It feels like the opportunity for ordinary captains has finally arrived. Without the Zhang Clan’s stranglehold, it’s highly probable that quite a few Warship-level captains will emerge!"
"Warship-level..."
The news sent waves of excitement through everyone present.
Although Fang Yu frequently achieved Extraordinary Ship or Dragon Ship levels, the Warship-level remained the ultimate aspiration for the majority of Blue Star Captains.
Hearing the prospect of potentially advancing to the Warship-level, numerous captains erupted in exhilarated shouts.
While they kept their true feelings concealed, deep down, they couldn't help but offer silent praise to Fang Yu for his decisive action.
...
Meanwhile, as the forum buzzed with activity, a secluded sea region hosted a small island.
A solitary figure sat upon the sandy beach, eyes closed in deep meditation.
After some time, a playfully teasing voice suddenly broke the silence beside him, "Hey, you guys spend every day engrossed in understanding the Law. Doesn’t it get stifling?"
"The forum is quite animated today. Won’t a few brothers indulge in checking it out?"
At the sound of the teasing voice, the meditating man slowly opened his eyes and turned to the side. There, he saw a youth clad in a denim jacket and jeans, a grin plastered across his face as he gazed towards the distant ocean, exuding an aura of relaxed, carefree abandon.
"Chen Mian, what’s happening on the forum?"
Just then, a woman's voice resonated from behind, revealing that their group was not limited to just two individuals. Others, previously concealed on the island, emerged upon hearing the voice.
They turned their attention towards Chen Mian, who had spoken.
A careful count revealed their numbers to be surprisingly in the hundreds.
Each of them emanated a potent aura, all sharing a singular, defining characteristic.
That characteristic... they were all Blue Star Captains!
It seemed that their prolonged stay on the island had induced a collective sense of boredom, and thus, whenever an interesting event occurred, they would all eagerly perk up their ears, anticipating Chen Mian’s narration.
"Each of you possesses your own forum access; why not check it yourselves?" Chen Mian mumbled, shaking his head as he spoke.
"Chen Mian!"
At that moment, a tall figure emerged from the throng, fixing his gaze upon the youth named Chen Mian. He then softly stated, "You’re aware that many of us have undergone transformation into Hunters, thus losing our forum access due to the absence of our panels."
"Pray tell, why don’t you enlighten everyone about what transpired outside."
"Very well!"
Chen Mian glanced at the man, a flicker of respect and awe crossing his eyes, before softly relaying, "Here’s the unfolding situation: Zhang Yi, yes, the Patriarch of the Zhang Consortium, a mere Dragon Ship-level captain, was actually slain by a Warship-level captain."
"What?!"
Upon hearing Chen Mian’s revelation, a wave of shock washed over everyone.
"Zhang Yi? I recall seeing him once. Years ago, a mere distant glance from him sent me fleeing in fear. However, among those who became captains later, excluding us early beneficiaries, Zhang Yi was quite accomplished."
"Who could possibly have the strength to kill the Dragon Ship-level Zhang Yi while being only at the Warship-level?"
"A Warship-level killing a Dragon Ship-level? Has the world outside truly descended into such chaos?"
Someone murmured in disbelief, "When did the younger generation outside become this formidable?"
"Impossible!"
At this juncture, Chen Mian interjected, "This particular Warship-level captain is named Fang Yu, and he has only been active for less than a year."
"What? Less than a year?"
Once again, astonishment rippled through the group.
Observing their shocked expressions, Chen Mian chuckled, a mischievous curiosity stirring within him. "Indeed, I’ve been keeping an eye on this young prodigy for some time now; I’ve even been contemplating, should the opportunity arise to escape this forsaken sea region, to seek out Fang Yu."
"Fang Yu..."
The name echoed softly from their lips as they silently committed it to memory.
At this precise moment, the individual who had spoken earlier addressed the group again. His voice, deep and resonant with a commanding presence, exuded an aura that compelled every Blue Star Captain present to stand attentive and orderly, refraining from any semblance of insubordination.
"Fang Yu?" the man uttered softly, followed by a slight nod. "Excellent. The greater the potential among our Blue Star Captains, the stronger our grip on future endeavors will be."
"We are nearing our limit. Our rate of growth far surpasses that of the native inhabitants, and this current sea region will soon prove insufficient to contain us. Once my Law Power achieves another breakthrough, I shall lead all of you in shattering these confines."
"Upon our escape, Chen Mian, you shall seek out Fang Yu and extend an invitation for him to join our ranks."
"The Peacekeeping Council... Hmph... Our Blue Star Captains possess boundless potential, their rapid growth naturally positioning them as the overlords of this realm." "Peace and order... Can such widespread chaos truly be brought under control?!" The man spoke, his gaze alight with a profound, chilling intensity. Just then, a guttural roar from a distant sea beast echoed, causing a subtle shift in everyone's expressions. "Leader, they're approaching once more!" someone whispered, their voice thick with restrained fury and animosity. "Hmph!" The man addressed as "Leader" rose, emitting a cold snort. He fixed his gaze on the distant figures drawing nearer to the island, his eyes glinting with lethal intent. "Do they truly believe they can confine us to this oceanic territory indefinitely?" "Soon... the day when we tear you asunder is within my sight..."
