Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 340

[Chapter 340 Bottleneck]

East China Sea.

Over a certain sea area, dark clouds were thick, thunder danced wildly, and strong lightning struck the sea surface, splashing huge water. Countless fish floated up slowly with their bellies turned white.

This sea area has become a life restricted area.

Even the powerful sea creatures dare not approach. If they are struck by thunder, their fate will not be much better than those fish.

But in such a restricted area, there is a person floating in the air, and strong lightning strikes on his body, which is absorbed by him.

Thunder overflows from his body from time to time, making him look like the god of thunder.

An island in the distance.

A group of sea creatures knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the thundercloud, trembling, and worshiping the Lord of the Sea even more in their hearts.

Such thunder is enough to split them into ashes, but it can’t hurt the Lord of the Sea at all. How powerful is the Lord of the Sea?

In the thundercloud, Lin Xiu felt bored.

The thunder that once scared him, now seems to be just so-so.

It is useful for cultivation, but it is not as useful as it was at the beginning, but is getting smaller and smaller.

This is because with the growth of Yuanli and the improvement of physical strength, his resistance to thunder is getting stronger and stronger.

At present, the ability to plunder is the most effective for his cultivation. This ability has no upper limit and no restrictions, except for some Feihai people.

Hundreds of sea people who have lost their abilities and can only live on the island temporarily not far away have all had their abilities plundered by Lin Xiu.

In addition to the two kinds of dual cultivation during this period, the two abilities of light and darkness, all added up, his cultivation speed is immeasurable, and Lin Xiu himself is not very clear.

He can only feel that his strength is growing every day, and the speed is so fast that he himself feels outrageous.

This is because his cultivation talent is limited.

If Ning’er and the others’ talents were given to him, he would be able to compete with Zhao Lingjun now.

In the past few days of cultivation, Lin Xiu has even touched a certain barrier, but that barrier is like a wall of unknown thickness. Once touched, it will produce a deep sense of powerlessness.

Lin Xiu knows that this is the bottleneck between the lower and upper realms of the earth level.

In the past, when he encountered bottlenecks, he always used the alien beast crystals to break through.

This time, the possibility of using the alien beast crystals is almost zero.

To break through from the upper realm of Xuan level to the lower realm of Di level, you need the fifth-level alien beast crystals

. To break through from the lower realm of Di level to the upper realm of Di level, you need the sixth-level alien beast crystals.

That is a more powerful existence than the fifth-level alien beast. The crystals of the fifth-level alien beast are difficult to obtain. The sixth-level alien beasts, which are equivalent to the strong people of the upper realm of Di level of the human race, are rare in number, not to mention that it is harder to capture them alive and obtain their crystals than to ascend to heaven.

The bottleneck can be broken through by hard work. If you want to speed up this process, you have to rely on external forces.

The human race currently does not have this method.

But the sea race does.

To put it bluntly, the water spirit essence is the sea race’s crystal.

It’s just that this kind of crystal is condensed outside the body, and it is only useful for people with water attributes.

Lin Xiu’s biggest advantage is that he is not picky. He can use both the queen girl and the crystal spirit essence. Basically, he accepts everything.

The bodies of the sea race are special. The sea race of the upper earth level can spend several months to condense a water spirit of the upper earth level, which has the function similar to the sixth level crystal. This is the special ability of their race. The

human race does not have this ability. As a strong man of the heaven level, Xue Lao let Ning’er advance to the earth level in advance, and the price he paid was to ruin his road to becoming a strong man. In comparison, the sea race seems to be born to be workers.

Even the upper earth level cannot escape the fate of being oppressed.

Those large tribes with more than 10,000 people have to provide water spirits for the royal family to practice, and the quality requirements of the spirits are higher. As powerful as the upper earth level, they have to sacrifice a large part of their practice time every year to condense at least a sixth-level water spirit for the royal family.

If Lin Xiu can get a few sixth-level water spirits, it can at least save him half a year of hard practice during the bottleneck period.

The annual Sea God Festival is the day when the major tribes pay tribute to the royal capital.

And this year’s Sea God Festival is coming soon.

Lin Xiu slowly descended on the island. Countless sea tribesmen knelt on the ground and said respectfully, “Greetings, Lord Poseidon!”

Lin Xiu waved his hand, and they felt a gentle force lifting them up, which made the image of Lord Poseidon in their hearts even more unfathomable.

At this time, a leader of a certain tribe said cautiously, “Lord Poseidon, please forgive the offense of the believers before. Can you give us the ability of the sea tribe again? Your loyal believers are willing to follow Lord Poseidon to death and spread the light of freedom to every corner of the sea…” Lin Xiu found that after his

education, the ideological awareness of these sea tribesmen actually improved.

Think about it, no one is born to be oppressed. Who wants to be an unpaid worker? No need to work hard to condense the essence of water and pay tribute, no need to be exploited by others, just basking in the sun and blowing the sea breeze on the island every day, this kind of life is simply too comfortable. What

they want now is to follow Lin Xiu, overthrow the tyranny of the upper class of the sea tribe, and establish a free and equal sea tribe.

That kind of life, they didn’t dare to think about it before.

But now it’s different, they have the great Lord Poseidon, who will bring them freedom and equality.

Looking at the ugly but sincere face, Lin Xiu said lightly: “This is a punishment for you. These days, you should reflect on your mistakes. When the time comes, your abilities will naturally return.”

These days, perhaps the illusion technique has been used too much to suggest their spirits. These sea people think about freedom and liberation every day.

The Lord of the Sea said so, and these sea people did not dare to speak again, and lay back to bask in the sun again.

In fact, compared to the seabed, they prefer to live on land.

I don’t know if Lord of the Sea will take them to counterattack the land after unifying the sea people. If they can live on land, who would like to always hide in the dark seabed…

Lin Xiu returned to the seabed and saw a sea tribe with 6,000 people.

This kind of tribe is not small among the sea people, but it can’t be called a large tribe. The

so-called large tribe not only has more than 10,000 people in the tribe, but also must have a strong man in the upper realm of the earth level. Without a strong man to protect the tribe, they still have to pay tribute to those large tribes with more than 10,000 people.

At present, this tribe has encountered a problem.

The Sea God Festival is approaching, and they have no tribute to pay tribute to the large tribes.

The water spirit they prepared before was not enough, and later they gave it to Lin Xiu. Otherwise, Lin Xiu would not have reached the bottleneck so quickly. The

tribe that controls this sea area is a large tribe with more than 30,000 people. In this tribe, there is a powerful sea clan member who is in the upper realm of the earth level. At present, with their few people, they certainly cannot fight against the other side head-on.

Lin Xiu thought about it and asked a sea clan member, “What tribute do you usually give them?”

The sea clan leader said, “In addition to water spirit, you can also use human things instead. If you can rob a human cargo ship, you can use their cargo to replace water spirit…”

Lin Xiu almost forgot that for the sea clan, the most precious thing is the human things.

Even simple pots and pans, porcelain, silk, and spices for seasoning are in short supply. They can’t make these things, and there is no other way except to rob. These things

can’t be used underwater, but the sea clan is amphibious. They also occupied a large number of islands. They built towns on the islands and even opened markets on them, imitating the human race. Human goods are very popular in the market.

These things are nothing more than spending some silver. What

Lin Xiu lacks the least is silver .

The sea creature looked at Lin Xiu and asked doubtfully: “Lord Poseidon, do we still have to pay tribute to them? As long as you send down a miracle and take back their abilities…”

Lin Xiu glanced at him and said lightly: “The time has not come yet.”

The sea creature immediately lowered his head and dared not say much. Lord Poseidon has supreme majesty. Whatever he says and does must be right.

In fact, Lin Xiu did not want to make trouble. If he had the strength of the upper realm of the heavenly rank, he would have unified the sea clan with great fanfare. However, he had not yet reached the upper realm of the earthly rank, so he could only endure it for the time being.

Five days later.

In a certain sea area, a large group of fish were playing and hunting. Suddenly, as if frightened by something, they fled in all directions. Not long after, several huge white sharks swam over from a distance.

These white sharks were extremely fast. On their backs, there were several figures riding on them. They had fins on their arms and backs, sharp teeth, and a mouth that took up most of their faces. When they swam to a certain place, they looked at a tribe in front of them. One of the sea creatures was surprised and said, “When did this tribe become so big?”

When they came here last year, this was just a small tribe of a thousand people. After a year, this tribe has expanded at least five times.

Another sea creature said, “It’s normal for tribes to grow bigger or smaller, as long as they can pay tribute.”

The tribute paid by a tribe is related to the number of people in the tribe. No matter how the tribes below annex, it will not affect the big tribe. They only care about tribute.

As soon as several sea people riding white sharks approached, a group of sea people from the tribe came up to them and said respectfully: “Welcome to the envoy…”

On the white shark, a sea person looked at them and asked: “Are all the tributes for this year ready?”

The sea person in front said: “Reply to the envoy, everything is ready, please follow us…”

A moment later, on an island on the sea, several sea people from a large tribe looked at the dozens of boxes of goods in front of them. There were porcelain, silk, spices and other scarce things in the boxes. They were shocked and said: “Did you rob a large human merchant ship?”

The sea tribe chief said: “A few days ago, a human merchant ship encountered a storm at sea and capsized on the sea. The cargo on the ship was picked up by us. Envoy, these goods should be enough to pay this year’s tribute…”

In the sea, water spirits are not rare, but human goods are.

Relatively speaking, the tribute offered by this tribe is still a lot, which has exceeded most tribes.

As envoys, they only needed to bring back enough tribute to complete their mission. At this time, the chief of the sea tribe whispered, “Our tribe has prepared a gift for several envoys…”

The envoys looked at each other, and one of the sea tribe members grinned and said, “You are lucky this time. Next year, you still have to hand in enough water spirits, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to complete our mission…”

Not long after, several envoys left with the tribute of this tribe with satisfaction.

Their tribe could only keep a part of these tributes, and the other part had to be handed over to the palace.

Even a large tribe like theirs could not resist the royal family.

Two days later, more than a hundred sea tribe members from this large tribe rode on white sharks, took the royal family’s tribute, left the tribe, and went to the palace, but even the powerful sea tribe member riding on the largest white shark in the front did not notice that an invisible figure was following them slowly…
