Chapter 1539: Chapter 462: The True Form of the Sea Monster

Accompanied by a faint sigh, Old Liu and Little Ai’s third dual cultivation evolution was successfully completed.

The "Starry Sky Reflection Dual Cultivation Barrier," which typically requires one thousand dual cultivations to progress a single stage, evolved three times within a year. Such an unprecedented achievement, bordering on terrifying, is beyond the imagination of the mermaids, who lack innate talent. Even facing the Big Haus Family and Little Haus Family from the Beamon Kingdom, these accomplishments would leave their jaws on the floor. These two families are renowned for their exceptional lineage, evident in the strong reputation of their counties.

"Genius comes from diligence. While others are sweetly dreaming, who has seen the sweat I’ve poured out?" Liu Shock proudly withdrew his mental perception of the surroundings.

From the initial phase of "Elemental Mermaid Shield" to the first stage evolution of "Starry Sky Gate," the second stage evolution of "Shell-Suction Clinging Water Veil," and now the third stage evolution into "True Form of Sea Lord," he had indeed devoted an extraordinary amount of time.

Dual cultivation barriers are the pinnacle of innate talents within the Sea Clan, offering unimaginable benefits as one advances to higher levels.

After completing this stage of evolution, the powers of "True Form of Sea Lord" brought Old Liu immense joy.

The term "Sea Lord" is an honorary title among the Sea Clan for the shrimpfolk of the Pleyne Clan.

All Sea Clan members share similar physical forms with the humans, elves, and Beamon of the land—two arms, two legs, and a head perched atop their shoulders. It’s often said that evolution ultimately guides all creatures toward this most extreme and perfect form.

Only Sea Clan royals like mermaids and sirens exhibit noticeable deviations from the humanoid figure—a principle that includes Xiang Pa Ocean Kingdom’s royal, the fallen elf Naga. Sirens are part-bird, part-human, mermaids are part-human, part-fish, and Nagas are born with four arms, capable of growing up to eight arms at their highest evolutionary stages!

This is why a long-standing consensus exists within the Sea Clan: the appearance of royalty should be distinctly different from the ordinary sea folk.

The Pleyne Clan’s shrimpfolk, born with eight arms, fit this description perfectly!

Among the Sea Clan, one cannot find another civilian figure as aberrant as they are! Even the octopusfolk of the Artdes Family and the crabfolk of the Makura Clan are normal humanoids with two arms and two legs!

The vast Ares Ocean Kingdom and Seia Ocean Kingdom already have established monarchs, yet out of respect for this phenomenon, a buffer sea zone has been perpetually reserved between the two kingdoms as the shrimpfolk’s territory. Viewed through the Aegean Continent’s standards, such a domain could rival a strong military nation—though to the boundless expanses of the Sea Clan, it’s merely a small patch of land.

Displaying an admirable sense of humility, the shrimpfolk of the Pleyne Clan never publicly claim kingship. Instead, they construct massive undersea temples and devoutly worship the sea gods Neptune and Amphitrite. Nor do they arrogantly crown themselves as Sea Clan royalty, opting to simply call themselves Sea Lords and refraining from participating—or even daring to join—any wars of domination.

However, humility doesn’t equate to weakness. The shrimpfolk of the Pleyne Clan also produce outstanding warriors. Their natural advantage of eight arms enables them to wield at least three more weapons than the typical Sea Clan soldier! If one considers the mighty, heavily armored lobster warriors among them, capable of wielding eight weapons in close combat, one can imagine their towering battle prowess!

The domain barrier "True Form of Sea Lord," evolved through Liu Shock and Avril’s dual cultivation, allows them to manifest three pairs of identical elemental arms from their flanks using their magic power. If necessary, their foreheads can even sprout an elemental shrimp lance resembling a unicorn’s horn!

The pair of lovebirds couldn’t help but find each other ridiculously amusing, watching themselves grow three pairs of arms from their sides.

"You look ridiculous!" Avril’s face flushed crimson as she pouted and, using her two regular hands to tug Old Liu’s ears, while her six water-blue elemental arms relentlessly tickled his sides.

"Why not call out Elise to have a look? Among all known dual cultivation domain barriers of the mermaids, there’s utterly no record of something like ’True Form of Sea Lord!’" Avril sensed her beloved seemed slightly off and quickly changed the subject.

"What’s the rush?" Liu Shock used his eight hands to one by one pry free Avril’s eight struggling hands.

"Don’t tell me you’ve been hiding something with that girl? Why are you so scared for her to see this?"

"Nonsense! She’s Rexa’s fiancée. Rexa is one of Beamon’s heroic forebears. I don’t want to be cursed as a beast behind my back," Liu Shock said seriously.

"Then release her!"

"Fine, fine! But first, get dressed. There’s plenty of time later for me to deal with you properly."

Retracting their elemental arms and his forehead’s elemental shrimp lance, Liu Shock quickly pulled on his pants and waved his ring to summon Elise. Little Ai, slower at getting dressed, was thrown into disarray at his actions and hastily dove under the blanket, simultaneously angry, embarrassed, and unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"Oh?" The Aegean Flower, holding a magic cube and clicking its pieces into place, cast a teasing side glance at Old Liu and Avril, whose shy, bashful eyes peeked out from the blanket.

"Controlling time is a man’s specialty," Old Liu shamelessly declared.

"Pfft!" The Aegean Flower wasn’t able to make this old rascal blush but instead found herself blushing furiously at his audacious comments.
