Chapter 543: Chapter 68: Consuming the Yin Yang Fish, Life Soul Breakthrough! The Legend of Liu Tianning! (8K)_4

"Someday, if I could reach such a level that my name alone strikes fear into people, then even death would be worthwhile," Long Xiao said, having gained another layer of fat from his envy.

"You’ll have your day," Zhao Xing laughed as he slapped Long Xiao’s shoulder, "But if you keep up this physique, your son may well have to call you ’Father Fatty Long.’"

"Get lost," Long Xiao’s defenses were breached.

He had just been fantasizing about a cool scene, only to have Zhao Xing ruin it.

Instantly, an image of a little chubby boy shouting, "Father Long Fat," jumped into his head.

How utterly unsettling!

"Hahahaha."

...

The five of them reached the place mentioned by Pei Yuanchang without exerting any effort—the Dark Stone Coral Reef.

It was a shallow sea area near Ice and Fire Island.

Because of the volcano, a lot of the ice near this area had melted.

Under Pei Yuanchang’s command, a thirty-person team had built a small camp based on a tower ship in this location.

The leader was Wu Jiang, who was at the early stages of the Pure Essence Realm. He wasn’t actually one of King Lingshuang’s people, but his family had connections with the king, and Wu Jiang had organized an Advanced Exploration Team on his own.

After entering Yang City, he got in touch with Pei Yuanchang and decided to affiliate with his Top-level Investigation Team and act together.

Seeing Zhao Xing come over, Wu Jiang was very enthusiastic.

He already knew Zhao Xing’s identity and had noticed the several teams that had been eyeing him retreating.

Xing Ming led the united exploration teams composed of various lords and noble family children, who had been sending quite a few squads to harass his exploration.

"Marquis Yuan Rang, the two Princely Heirs, I’ll skip the pleasantries," Wu Jiang said, pointing to the water, "The Yin Yang Fish that the young master spoke of were found in this vicinity."

"It’s just that they’re very small and fast in the water, making them difficult to capture."

"We spent a whole day and only found twenty-four."

"Following the young master’s instructions, these six are for you," Wu Jiang said, holding up a Crystal Box with six swimming Yin Yang Fish, each significantly larger than the one given before.

"Thank you."

Sharing a quarter was already very good, especially since they had just made the trip and hadn’t really done anything but talk.

Of course, Lao Liu’s reputation was definitely worth the price, so Zhao Xing didn’t hesitate to accept.

"Now that you all are here, this area is naturally open for your exploration. I wonder if Marquis Yuan Rang would like to join us or act separately?" Wu Jiang tentatively asked.

"Let’s act separately. Just keep an eye out for each other," Zhao Xing knew Wu Jiang feared they would reap the rewards without effort.

Taking a protector role with a powerful ally is like this, happy but fearful.

Zhao Xing simply decided not to accompany Wu Jiang.

"Good, we’ll do as Marquis Yuan Rang suggests." Wu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries and sharing some information, he quickly left.

"Let’s divide the six Yin Yang Fish," Zhao Xing pointed at the Crystal Box.

"Zhao Xing, let’s not divide them," Xia Jing said, "It’s all thanks to your teacher’s reputation, and we didn’t do a thing."

"Indeed," Ji Ziyun added, "Being able to join this team and reaping so many benefits thanks to your association, I’ve already received great favor. Previously, we could still claim to have contributed a little. Now, we’ve done nothing."

"Little brother, don’t make your brother owe you a favor that I can’t repay," said Chen Shijie, though he didn’t speak up as Zhao Xing knew his support was a given, without the need for words.

Long Xiao, however, seemed rather tempted, simply craving to try the taste.

"Alright, then I’ll not stand on ceremony," Zhao Xing smiled, "However, I must give one to Fatty Long. His current shape isn’t conducive to movement. The Yin Yang Fish might help him relieve that."

The improvement of Life Soul Power can nourish the fleshly Seven Spirits.

Long Xiao’s larger size was a side effect affecting his Seven Spirits, although it wasn’t a serious problem and would deflate with time.

But since they needed him to work and his combat effectiveness was necessary, Zhao Xing decided to give him a smaller one to try out.

"Ha ha ha, can I cast a dissenting vote? I’d like to see him like this for a bit longer," Xia Jing seized the moment to tease.

If he didn’t laugh now, he wouldn’t get another chance!

After all, Long Xiao had teasingly covered his mouth while he was vomiting before— that was something he hadn’t forgotten!

"Xia Jing, just you wait!" Long Xiao fumed, "Once I’m better, we’ll have another fight, and I’ll make sure to feed you thirty thousand pounds of fish!"

"I’m waiting for you!" The Princely Heir was not at all intimidated.

"Alright, knock it off, you two," Zhao Xing laughed, "Mr. Ji, Brother Xia, Old Chen, please be my protector along with Long Xiao."

...

The Yin Yang Fish, black and white, felt weightless in the hand.

The sensation was very minimal, almost like holding air.

Yet when Zhao Xing sensed them with his Life Soul, he could feel that he was holding onto a massive creature.

"No, it’s a dual soul in one body," Zhao Xing found with his Heavenly Eye Skill. In his hand were actually two fish.

Such an oddity was indeed rare.

"This could be classified as a Life Soul Spiritual Beauty, truly getting two uses out of one fish."

Zhao Xing opened his mouth and swallowed the first fish whole.

After ingesting it, there was no reaction in his body.

But his Life Soul in the Sea of Consciousness began to tremble slightly.

His Heavenly Eyes became even brighter.

After swallowing six Yin Yang Fish in a row.

Zhao Xing clearly felt a sense of ’expansion.’

However, he had taken the ’Life Soul Pill’ and possessed the top-tier Dream of Spring and Autumn Technique, allowing him to condense his Life Soul simply.

While he couldn’t actively cultivate his Life Soul, digesting Soul Power was not an issue.

He had previously plundered the Soul Power of the Blood Spirit Venerable with the aid of the Dream of Spring and Autumn Technique and his Soul Armor.

"Six palm-sized Yin Yang Fish, to have such remarkable effects?"
