Chapter 85: Chapter 59: Fish-Dragon_l
Translator: 549690339
The world of beasts is bloody, cruel, yet also innocent and simple.
After all, without the capacity for complex thoughts, they couldn’t entertain the intrigues and machinations.
But what they couldn’t sustain, Xu Yang could.
Instead of directly seeking out the dominant Lobster King, he targeted its subordinates one by one to break them down.
Though called subordinates, those able to live in this deep water area were all somewhat different from ordinary fish, at least larger in size.
With a surge of aggression, Xu Yang entered the territory of the lobster clan and quickly found several large lobsters leading a hunt.
The shells of these lobsters were thick, and their overall color was dark blue to black, with only their backs a shade of red hinting at their extraordinariness.
Without a word, Xu Yang flicked his tail forward and took a bite at one of the large lobsters.
“Crack! ”
The targeted lobster was in the middle of its own hunt, unprepared for any danger, when suddenly a torrential force accompanied by the rush of water slammed into it, followed by a large green fish surging out and biting at its head.
Fish-Dragon Change + Muddy Water Jiao Dragon + Big Fish Eats Little Fish!
Though currently at the Qi-Blood realm level of Body Training, with the enhancement from these three Skill Traits, Xu Yang’s fighting power was no less than that of a Muscle Bone Realm Demon Monster.
A first-realm Alien Beast with Qi-Blood Body Training could rival an Inner Strength Martial Artist.
A second-realm Spirit Monster with Skin and Flesh Body Training could rival a True Qi Martial Artist.
A third -realm Demon Monster with Muscle Bone Body Training could rival a True Gang Martial Artist.
All five dominators of the deep waters were third-realm Demon Monsters.
Their tribal elites, like this Red -Backed Lobster, also possessed the capability of a second -realm Spirit Monster.
Had it been in Shallow Bay, it could easily have ruled as king.
Unfortunately for it, it had encountered Xu Yang.
In just one bite, using sharp teeth evolved through “Form Supplementing Form”, the force of the Fish-Dragon Transformation, and the ability to overpower from Big Fish Eats Little Fish, Xu Yang crushed its skull.
A second-realm Spirit Monster, though formidable, was just a spirit monster after all.
Without the ability to survive a crushed head.
After biting the Red-Backed Lobster to death in one bite, Xu Yang did not stop there, but turned to rush at the remaining Red-Backed Lobsters.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
The other Red-Backed Lobsters panicked and scattered, but none was fast enough to escape him. In a short amount of time, he had crushed their heads with his bites, leaving only a few “underage” young lobsters to flee.
With a principle of sustainable development, Xu Yang ignored the little ones and began to clear the battlefield.
A six-foot-long green fish, its scales gleaming like jade in the murky water, swam unrestrainedly among the chaos, crushing the shells of the lobsters and swallowing them whole.
Soon, several “Spirit Monster” class Red-Backed Lobsters had become a source of nourishment in his belly.
It was only then that Xu Yang noticed something, the bloodline in these Red -Backed Lobsters seemed a bit unusual.
Was that… Dragon Species Blood?
Xu Yang wasn’t sure, but after consuming these Red-Backed Lobsters, he distinctly felt an improvement in his “Fish-Dragon Transformation”.
Not a small benefit!
So he continued to eat.
lust like that a sneaky stealthy large green fish began to harass the territory
of the Red-Backed Lobsters.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when they stop, we harass. When the enemy tires, we strike; when they withdraw, we pursue.
And thus, several days passed in a flash. After a few days, it’s still the same water domain.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
A completely red, stunningly shelled, four to five-foot-long Lobster King, enraged, was leading its subordinates patrolling back and forth through the territory.
In recent days, a hateful large green fish had caused continuous destruction on their Red-Backed Lobsters’ turf, having already killed several of their elites.
Having no choice, the Lobster King itself had to leave the edge of the black water to personally deal with the large green fish.
However, it hadn’t expected the green fish to be so cunning; it would immediately flee upon seeing the Lobster King, continuing to sneak attack its subordinates. Exhausted and frustrated after several days, its subordinates had suffered heavy casualties and death.
Limited intelligence prevented it from analyzing the situation or realizing the predicament it was in. Peril can strike in an instant!
Suddenly…
“Gurgle!”
A massive force brought a turbulent flow, scattering the Red-Backed Lobsters all about, only the “Demon Monster” class Lobster King struggling to hold its position against the current.
But it wasn’t just the water attacking.
Within the current, a giant shadow emerged, as broad as a barrel and over seven feet long. Its body, covered in jade- like green scales, emitted a faint green light in the dark water, which went unnoticed before, making it very conspicuous now.
That was a large Green Fish!
The Green Fish arrived with the wave, flicking its body and tail fiercely.
“Whack!!!”
The Lobster King was still trying to resist the current, and there was no way to dodge the Green Fish’s powerful Dragon Tail Swipe; it got hit directly on the head by the fish’s tail, causing its five-foot body to uncontrollably somersault away.
Fish-Dragon Transformation—Dragon Tail Swipe!
Without Inner Strength and with the body of a fish, many martial arts skills were unusable, and the usually unbeatable “Fighting Scroll” was mostly wasted.
Luckily, Xu Yang was well-resourced, and quickly created a set of martial arts suitable for his fish body, in conjunction with the “Fish-Dragon
Transformation” cultivation technique, named—Fish-Dragon Eight Skill!
This Fish-Dragon Eight Skill, which was also in line with the intricacies of the “Martial Arts Scripture,” combined hardness with softness, and was infinitely variable. Though it had only eight moves, it could deal with all sorts of opponents.
The Red -Backed Lobster King was no exception.
With its hard shell and fierce claws, ordinary spirit monsters and demon monsters found it difficult to break through its defense. If caught in its pincers, one could expect to lose a body part.
But Xu Yang was no ordinary demon monster. His Dragon Tail Swing packed an immense power, blending hardness with softness, containing both a strong strike and a hidden supple force, wounding both internally and externally with a single swipe of the tail.
Even the solid shell of the Lobster King couldn’t withstand such a blow, cracking open directly at the front.
Xu Yang, seizing the advantage, wouldn’t let the lobster off. With a flick of his tail, he propelled himself forward, cutting through the water like a cannonball and slamming hard into the Lobster King.
Fish-Dragon Eight Skill—Fish Head Cannon!
The head of the Green Fish was round like a cannonball, the optimal aerodynamic design, and now covered with scales and armor, it could perfectly serve as a weapon.
With such a head, combined with the power of the Muddy Water Jiao Dragon’s tail flick, this Fish Head Cannon was barely less powerful than a real cannonball, minus the explosion.
Although the Lobster King was a demon monster, such a collision cost it half its life, immediately stripping it of the ability to move.
Xu Yang, however, didn’t care, charging forward to deliver a barrage of tail whips and headbutts, pummeling in a furious, relentless attack, until the Lobster King’s shell shattered completely and it flopped limply, only then did he stop.
One of the five overlord monsters, the Red-Backed Lobster King, had fallen!
Well, it wasn’t really the right way to speak of something like this falling. Dealing with it was hardly a matter for pride.
In the world of Great Tang, he had slain batches of Four-Realm Warriors and even Condensing Spirit Grandmasters. Now, to use martial arts to bully an intellectually inferior lobster, if he couldn’t handle that, he might as well quit and go crash into a slab of tofu.
After slaying the Red-Backed Lobster King, Xu Yang didn’t waste time and began to eat it immediately.
The Lobster King, not particularly large, was about five feet long, flesh included.
Now, broken into pieces by Xu Yang’s beating, the shell shattered, and the meat mush, making it quite convenient to consume.
First, Xu Yang devoured the sweet and delicious lobster meat, then gnawed and chewed on the hard shell.
Form Supplementing Form; the more one eats these things, the tougher they get!
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
Under Xu Yang’s powerful bite, it didn’t take long for the remains to be cleaned up entirely.
“Mmm… not bad!”
After eating his fill, Xu Yang contentedly patted his chest, quite satisfied with his meal.
Should he take advantage of his victory and devour all the spirits and alien beasts of the Red-Backed Lobster tribe?
Forget it, he had to practice sustainable development, not to fish the pond dry.
Moreover…
Xu Yang flipped over, exposing his belly, feeling a cozy warmth all over, longing to comfortably sleep off the meal…
“No, wait!!!”
Just as his fish eyes were closing, his human intelligence snapped Xu Yang awake, realizing the state he was in. Without a second word, he wiggled his body and swiftly swam towards Shallow Bay.
Three months later, in the vibrant patches of Seagrass in Shallow Bay.
Between the dense foliage lurked a large figure, more than nine feet long, nearly ten feet, scaled and armored like green jade, emitting a faint glow, save for a line of vivid red embedded along its back.
Looking at the head, it still bore the shape of a Green Fish, but on the jaws, the fish’s lips had grown four golden tendrils radiating a mysterious majesty. The imposing aura of its bloodline origin was enough to make the surrounding fish and crustaceans tremble and even faint, belly-up. The transformation from Fish to Dragon was taking shape!
Suddenly…
“Gurgle!”
The Green Fish opened its eyes, its body surged as it flicked its tail, causing a turbulent current to swell in the small bay.
Undeterred, its body and tail flicked like a dragon taking flight, darting like an arrow toward deeper waters.
Xu Yang
Race: Green Fish (Dragon Species)
Cultivation: Skin and Flesh Realm
Lifespan: 4/99
Skills: Swimming, Feeding, Breathing, Sleeping, Taoist Skills, Martial Arts…
Cultivation Technique: Martial Arts Scripture Fish-Dragon Transformation!
That Red-Backed Lobster indeed carried the bloodline of a dragon species, even if a minuscule amount. But Dragon Blood is still Dragon Blood.
Having killed the Lobster King of demon monster level and devoured an entire group of spirit monster level Red-Backed Lobsters, the cumulative effect of the dragon blood finally became apparent. Furthermore, with the skill traits of “Form Supplementing Form” and “Fish-Dragon Change,” he finally completed a minor ancestral regression, an evolution in his fish life.
Now, he could be referred to as a Dragon Species Green Fish, or—Azure Dragon Fish!
Regardless of the name, what mattered wasn’t important.
What was important was power!
With a body over nine feet long, nearly ten, Xu Yang, who had successfully undergone “Fish-Dragon Transformation,” saw a substantial increase in both size and combat strength.
So, with fierce determination, he was now heading towards his next target, ready to take revenge on the fat catfish that had nearly gutted him.
He could be rather petty at times..
