A Big Trouble

　　A human body is only so big, but it’s able to exert a great force of almost eight hundred thousand Jin.

　　It wasn’t weird that Teng Qingshan’s body was even tougher than Darksteel. In addition, because of the Internal Supreme Force hidden deep within the body, Teng Qingshan was able to combine the internal and external forces of the body, so it was much easier for him to defend against external attacks.

　　If the protective glow enveloping a Golden Dan innate expert bursted, that expert might be electrocuted, but Teng Qingshan wouldn’t.

　　“Hou~~” The Unicorn Thunderwhale roared deeply and stared at Teng Qignshan with huge, astonished eyes.

　　At this moment, Teng Qingshan’s clothes had already turned into dust.

　　Completely naked, Teng Qingshan held the Dark Blaze Rod in his hand. Anger could be seen in his eyes.

　　“If I knew that this whirlpool was caused by you, evil creature, I would have brought the Reincarnation Spear instead of the Dark Blaze Rod! That way it wouldn’t be just these multiple blood holes on your body!” Teng Qingshan took the Dark Blaze Rod to destroy the whirlpool because the material used to forge the Dark Blaze Rod was better than that of the Reincarnation Spear’s shaft.

　　Therefore, Teng Qingshan entered the seas with the Dark Blaze Rod in hand.

　　However, when it was a fight, Teng Qingshan preferred using the Reincarnation Spear since he was able to display the strongest fighting power with the Reincarnation Spear. The thrusts of the two weapons were different as the tip of the spear and the tip of the rod were completely different.

　　“Humph, I can still kill you, evil creature, even without using the Reincarnation Spear!” Teng Qingshan fixed his eyes on the creature and dashed out.

　　Whew~~

　　When Teng Qingshan dashed towards the Unicorn Thunderwhale at the bottom of the deep and gloomy sea waters, the pupils of the Unicorn Thunderwhale contracted as it roared. It actually swung its tail and caused the sea waters to surge. The enormous creature then fled far away at lightning speed.

　　Xiu! Xiu!

　　The enormous creature rapidly escaped until it disappeared from Teng Qingshan’s line of sight.

　　“This beast is swift!”

　　Teng Qingshan was shocked. “Brother Borileimu was right; even if it was a thunderwhale that had reached the Hollow Dan Innate Realm, it can swim faster than a Golden Dan innate expert! Plus, this Unicorn Thunderwhale was obviously a lot stronger. Regardless, this fellow is gone, so the problem is solved.”

　　He then looked down at himself——

　　As his body, hair, and skin all contained the Internal Supreme Force, there were no injuries. However, because of the thunderbolt, his clothes instantly turned into dust.

　　“I still have to go back to the boat. Little Jun is still on the boat, but I am naked…” Teng Qingshan cast a glance towards where the Unicorn Thunderwhale had fled, and exclaimed, “Fortunately, you escaped fast enough!” With this, Teng Qingshan immediately swam upward.

　　……

　　On the bow of the tungsten wood vessel, Li Jun stared at the surface of the sea, worried.

　　“It’s been so long. Why isn’t he back yet?” Li Jun was slightly worried. The sea waters in the surrounding was still gloomy and immeasurably dark. No one would know what was hidden at the bottom of the sea. “Perhaps Big Brother Teng encountered a demonic beast?” Li Jun thought to herself.

　　“He is definitely safe. Definitely.”

　　Li Jun could only wait anxiously.

　　Suddenly——

　　“Sou!” A fiery red glow burst through the surface of the sea waters in front and leaped before it descended on the tungsten wood vessel.

　　“Big Brother Teng!” Li Jun cried out in surprise and joy.

　　The moment the fiery figure descended on the deck, he spoke hastily, “Yes. I’m going in the cabin first!” While the voice was still ringing, the figure had already entered the cabin. With a “creak”, the cabin door had already closed.

　　“What’s wrong with Big Brother Teng?” Li Jun felt very confused. A thought then struck her and she immediately shouted in shock, “Perhaps Big Brother Teng was injured? And he didn’t want me to know?”

　　“Bam!” “Bam!”

　　Li Jun immediately knocked the cabin door while shouting, “Big Brother Teng, are you alright?”

　　“I am fine!” Teng Qingshan’s voice was heard. Soon, the cabin door opened and Teng Qingshan, dressed in a black attire, walked out with the Reincarnation Spear in hand.

　　“Change clothes?” Li Jun was slightly surprised as she asked, “Big Brother Teng, why did you take out the Reincarnation Spear? Are you going to fight?”

　　Teng Qingshan hoisted the sails while saying, “A powerful demonic beast I encountered at the bottom of the sea tore my clothes, which was why I changed my clothes! If I had known that there was a demonic beast, I would have brought the Reincarnation Spear instead of the Dark Blaze Rod. If I had brought the Reincarnation Spear, that demonic beast would have been dead.”

　　“Demonic beast? What demonic beast is this powerful?” Li Jun was slightly surprised.

　　Teng Qingshan walked over from the mast and smiled as he answered, “The demonic beast looked like a thunderwhale. It was grey in color with some golden spots and a swordlike horn on its forehead. It had a length of over twenty Zhang and was a lot bigger than our tungsten wood vessel. It was even able to release thunderbolts, golden thunderbolts. Unlike ordinary thunderwhales that shoot thunderbolt through their dorsal fin, this demonic beast discharged thunderbolt from the horn on its forehead.”

　　Li Jun felt confused as she heard and said, “Big Brother Teng, according to your words, this should be a very powerful type of thunderwhale. However, I have never heard of this type of thunderwhale, nor have I read about it in the records of demonic beast that the God of Heaven Mountain possesses.”

　　There were indeed powerful ones and weak ones in a biological population.

　　For example, there were powerful ones among the Fierce Wind Divine Eagles, Steel Arms Monkeys, etc.

　　“Nevermind. This demonic beast might be afraid because of my blows.” Teng Qingshan smiled and said, “It probably won’t dare to provoke us rashly.” The Unicorn Thunderwhale in the bottom of the sea had already retreated. It probably used all means to kill Teng Qingshan but failed, thus, it fled.

　　Li Jun nodded with a smile, “Big Brother Teng is able to defeat the First Godly General, so those demonic beasts wouldn’t scare you. By the way, Big Brother Teng, where are the clothes that were ruined during the fight? Let me see if they can be mended! As we sail on the seas, we won’t be able to replenish our clothes. Plus, we don’t have many clothes, so it would be best to use sparingly.

　　Hearing this, Teng Qingshan blinked his eyes.

　　The clothes? The clothes had already turned into ash and dust. If they hadn’t been, would he need to envelop his body with the Innate True Origin before dashing into the cabin?

　　Teng Qingshan let out a soft cough and said, “The clothes can’t be worn anymore. I have already burned they with the Innate True Origin. Yes…..It’s still nighttime, so don’t stay at the bow of the vessel and make yourself cold. Go back to the cabin and sleep.”

　　“Oh.” Thought Li Jun felt confused, she still went into the cabin obediently.

　　Teng Qingshan stood on the bow of the vessel and stared at the deep and gloomy sea waters. He touched his nose and said, “It was such an easy task, but I failed all because of a demonic beast. I only have six sets of garments. If each battle would ruin one set of my garments, I would have no clothes to wear before I could even arrive the Northern Sea Continent.”

　　Teng Qingshan practiced his spear arts on the bow of the vessel for one hour.

　　When he saw that all had pacified, he returned to the cabin and rested.

　　The next day, Teng Qingshan woke up very early at daybreak and began practicing the Three Postures on the deck while Li Jun was still sleeping in the cabin. Li Jun probably did not sleep well last night because of that demonic beast.

　　“Walla~~” The sea waters swayed slightly.

　　A rosy glow emerged from the distant horizon. As Teng Qingshan practiced his Fist Art, the sun gradually crept up the horizon.

　　“Eh?” Teng Qingshan suddenly stopped.

　　“Bang!” The tungsten wood vessel actually rose three to four Zhang in the air. Teng Qingshan leaped out of the tungsten wood vessel, and while he was in midair, he saw beneath the tungsten wood vessel, there was a thunderwhale with the color of an azure, grey rock. Seeing this, Teng Qingshan was enraged. It was obvious that this thunderwhale was an ordinary thunderwhale, yet it still dared to provoke him!

　　Since Teng Qingshan had not seen it, it was easy to deduce that the thunderwhale had risen up from the bottom of the sea slowly. Plus, the sea waters had been constantly swaying and rocking the vessel, so it was impossible for Teng Qingshan to notice the thunderwhale under the sea.

　　Teng Qingshan only realized it the moment the thunderwhale hit the tungsten wood vessel forcefully into the air.

　　“Sou!” After hitting the tungsten wood vessel into the air, the thunderwhale dove back into the water with a flap of its tail, causing a huge splash of water before it disappeared. The tungsten wood vessel that rose three to four Zhang up in the air crashed onto the sea water, causing a “Rumble~~” sound .

　　Bang! Water flowed all over the vessel.

　　By performing Qing Gong, Teng Qingshan stepped on the sea water.

　　“Something isn’t right!” Teng Qingshan frowned as he thought to himself, “With the thunderwhale’s ability, it should be able to break the base of the tungsten wood vessel. Even though the tungsten wood vessel is tougher than ordinary steel, it wouldn’t be difficult for a Hollow Dan innate demonic beast to pierce through the base of the tungsten wood vessel.”

　　With a few steps on the surface of the sea and a leap, Teng Qingshan went back onto the deck of the tungsten wood vessel.

　　Standing on the bow of the vessel, Teng Qingshan began scrutinizing the surrounding. He felt that something just wasn’t right.

　　“Hua——” The door of the cabin opened and Li Jun ran up the stairs, rubbing her head. With a painful expression on her face, she asked, “Big Brother Teng, what happened just now? I was sleeping fine when the whole cabin started shaking all of a sudden. Because of that, I bumped my head onto the wall of the cabin.”

　　“The thunderwhale did it!” Teng Qingshan said.

　　“Thunderwhale? Where is it?” Li Jun cried out in shock.

　　With a solemn expression, Teng Qingshan pointed at the surrounding and said, “Look carefully!” Standing on the bow of the boat, Li Jun looked afar and saw numerous black figures floating up to the sea surface. Soon, with a “Walla!” sound, the dorsal fin of the thunderwhale emerged from the surface of the sea water and stared at Teng Qingshan and Li Jun with huge black eyes.

　　“Big Brother Teng, look over there.” Li Jun’s facial expression changed as she pointed to the left.

　　“Walla!” “Walla!” “Walla!” “Walla!” ……

　　Teng Qingshan looked over at where she was pointing.

　　At the front, back, left, and right of the tungsten wood vessel, numerous enormous thunderwhales emerged. Each and every one of the thunderwhales stared at Teng Qingshan and their tungsten wood vessel. The tungsten wood vessel was twenty Zhang long, but even the ordinary thunderwhales were slightly larger than the tungsten wood vessel.

　　The numerous thunderwhales dotted the surface of the sea around the tungsten wood vessel.

　　“What are they doing?” Teng Qingshan pondered.

　　“Hou~~~” A extremely loud roar resonated above the sea waters.

　　With a shock expression, Li Jun pointed in front and said, “Big Brother Teng, look in front! Isn’t that the demonic beast you mentioned…….” Teng Qingshan saw a Unicorn Thunderwhale with golden spots on its body emerge amidst the pod of thunderwhales in front of the tungsten wood vessel!

　　Under the radiance of the morning sun, the bladelike horn reflected a blood-red beam.

　　It fixed its golden eyes, which were the size of carriage wheels, at Teng Qingshan.

　　“Hou~~Hou~~” The gigantic thunderwhale roared.

　　“It’s really that demonic beast! This gigantic fellow is actually the King of Thunderwhales!” Teng Qingshan could naturally tell. He immediately dashed into the cabin and returned within less than a second. At this moment, he held the Reincarnation Spear in his hand.

　　Teng Qingshan stared at the King of Thunderwhales and said, “Little Jun, talk to it. Ask it if it is willing to give up.”

　　“Hou~~” Li Jun also emitted a roar toward the King of Thunderwhales.

　　When the King of Thunderwhales heard this roar, astonishment filled its eyes. It then responded a few times. Li Jun turned and looked at Teng Qingshan as she explained, “Big Brother Teng, the King of Thunderwhales said that it is impossible to give up! This region is the territory of the King of Thunderwhales. Whoever provokes it will pay! It also said that all the thunderwhales here are its children. If it gave an order, this small vessel of ours will be destroyed.”
