Chapter 87: Introduction to Sword Power, Whale Hunter

"What? The captain of the Whaler has been decided?"

In Tianxiang Tower, Tian Haiyi, holding a wine pot, stood there in a daze, letting the expensive Tianxiang wine flow on the table.

"Master Wenxuan has done his best. This is what the important person in the family said."

The deacon of the Yue family also sighed. Hai Yi had been paying tribute to him a lot these days, but he was too lenient with him. He felt a little guilty about the final result.

But I thought of the scene I saw in Master Wenxuan’s mansion.

"Yue Wenxuan's people?"

"If he has any objections, let him come to me!"

The figure in red appeared in the steward's mind.

How arrogant and domineering!

Just because she is the Grandmaster's maid, she is so great that she can do whatever she wants?
Well, you can do whatever you want.

It is impossible for Master Wenxuan to really go to Grandmaster Ling Ke for such a matter.

"Who is the captain of the Whaler?"

The wine in the pot was finished, and Tian Haiyi finally recovered from his trance and asked bitterly.

"Come to think of it, you also know that person."

"It's the first mate of the Hurricane, Cao Ze!"

Manager Yue was also sighing. He had seen this man in Tianxiang Tower a few months ago. Who could have thought that a few months later, the guy would actually hook up with Grandmaster Yue Lingke's maid, climb up the tree and become a phoenix, and suddenly become the captain of the Whale Hunting Ship.

"Cao Ze?"

"how is this possible?"

Tian Haiyi lost color in an instant.

This person could be anyone, but why is it Cao Ze?

Thinking of what he had done on the Tornado, Tian Haiyi's face suddenly turned purple.

"That kid is very clever!"

Manager Yue sneered, and while he was feeling indignant, he also tried to direct Tian Haiyi's anger elsewhere.

"Brother Cao is not that kind of person!"

Tian Haiyi certainly understood what Manager Yue meant. After a long silence, he said something in a muffled voice.

"Waiter, bring another pot of wine!"

After Tian Haiyi finished speaking, he shouted loudly to the outside.

Now that the Tempest has set sail, he is ready to become the captain of the Whaler, but he is told that the Whaler already has a new captain.

It’s hard to describe the feeling to outsiders.

Soon, new wine was served.

The waiter was very observant and quickly left the box.

Tian Haiyi just kept pouring wine and drinking.

Manager Yue didn't say much. He knew that getting Tian Haiyi drunk might be a good thing.

"Brother Tianhai, don't be discouraged. Master Wenxuan promised to continue to find a monster hunting ship for you. Just wait a little longer, brother Tianhai will still be the captain of Tianhai!"

Half an hour later, Manager Yue stood up, patted Tian Haiyi on the shoulder, and walked out of the box.

Given his status, he has already done his best by accompanying Tian Haiyi to drink for such a long time.

"Little Er, drink up!"

Tian Haiyi shook the empty wine jug and shouted loudly.

Of course he heard what Manager Yue said, but the position of captain of the monster hunting ship is always filled. If Cao Ze can take his position as captain today, then there will be Zhang Ze, Wang Ze, etc. tomorrow...

After all, you still have to rely on your own strength!
With a creak, the door of the box room opened and a man walked in with wine.

"Call me full!"

With his eyes blurred by drunkenness, Tian Haiyi reached out to grab the wine jug, but the man dodged away.

"Brother Tianhai, you drank alone without asking me."

Tian Haiyi was about to get angry when he heard a familiar voice. He blinked his eyes and saw clearly that the person coming was Cao Ze.

"Brother Cao, why are you here?"

After shouting in a muffled voice, Tian Haiyi still reached out to take the wine jug.

Cao Ze raised his hand and held Tian Haiyi's hand, filled his glass with wine, and also poured a glass for himself.

After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, Cao Ze said, "I didn't know about the captain position of the Whale Hunter beforehand."

"However, due to some reasons that are inconvenient to explain, I do need the position of captain. I hope Brother Tianhai will forgive me. This glass of wine is my apology."

Almost everyone knows that Tian Haiyi wants to be the captain of the Whaler, and I have known about it for a long time. Now that I have interfered, if I don’t know the inside story, I will indeed think that he is a bit unkind.

Tian Haiyi shook his head, and drank the wine in the glass with a slurp. Then he said, "I know you won't take the initiative to do these things!"

After spending several months together, they got to know each other a little.

It's understandable, but if you really encounter such a thing, who can really not care at all?

He should have thought of it earlier. Cao Ze had also broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm and had established connections with the Yue Family. It was said that he was going to marry a legitimate daughter of the Yue Family.

In this case, the captain of the Whaler would never let it be his turn no matter what.

He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, letting the strong liquor go down his throat and the burning feeling go deep into his stomach.

Only this will make him feel better.

Cao Ze didn't say much, but just accompanied Tian Haiyi in drinking one glass after another.

"Brother Tianhai, are you interested in coming to the Whale Hunter to be the first mate?"

The table was already filled with empty wine jugs. Even with Cao Ze's physical training, he felt a little dizzy. Tian Haiyi had even collapsed on the table, his mind a little fuzzy.

"what?"

Tian Haiyi tried hard to raise his head and open his eyes, but his eyelids were as hard to open as lead.

"Come and be the first mate on the Whale Hunter!"

Cao Ze said again.

This time, Tian Haiyi heard it clearly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt relieved, and the grudge that had remained in his heart disappeared along with the smell of alcohol.

Given Cao Ze's current status, there was actually no need for him to drink with him.

Others may not know about Cao Ze’s talent and potential, but he has seen it with his own eyes.

The tense string in his heart loosened, and without giving an answer, Tian Haiyi fell on the table with a bang and fell into a deep sleep.

……

In the Cao family compound, Su Xiaozhi was shouting and practicing the Fish and Dragon Body Tempering Technique in the backyard.

Cao Ze sat under the eaves, immersed in the visualization picture in front of him.

He just sat there quietly, but he could vaguely hear the sound of waves and a faint smell of damp water vapor spreading around, like waves broken by rocks.

While practicing in this kind of water vapor, Su Xiaozhi felt that even her breathing became much smoother. She felt very comfortable as she stretched her muscles, just like a fish returning to the water, feeling freer and more relaxed than ever before.

Suddenly, Cao Ze, who was immersed in the visualization picture, raised his hand and pinched the air, as if he was grasping the hilt of a knife, or as if he was grasping the whole world!
Su Xiaozhi was like a fish frozen in water, her body stiffened, she stayed where she was, not even daring to breathe. At this moment, she felt as if she was facing this world, and then, a white knife light appeared in front of her eyes.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to be turning upside down, leaning towards her, squeezing her, making Su Xiaozhi breathless, as if she was the only one left in the world at this moment, as if even the world was rejecting her.

Swish!
With a flash of the knife, the suffocating pressure finally disappeared.

Su Xiaozhi, covered in cold sweat, was gasping for breath, greedily breathing in the fresh air.

Cao Ze opened his eyes at this time, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Half a month had passed since he got the visualization map. During this half month, he was constantly contemplating the visualization map. Finally,
Call up the panel.

【Wu Fu:
Cultivation: Ninth level of physical training

Fish Dragon Transformation (Bone Forging): Getting Started (17/5120)

Snow Blade: Perfection

Strike the Sea (Momentum): Getting Started (3/1600)

Wind Shadow Step: Great Mastery (89/400)

Love Point: 571】

Finally got the hang of Ji Cang Hai sword skills!
This time, he didn't use any love points, but just relied on comprehending the visualization diagram. It only took him half a month to cultivate his sword skills to the entry level!

These several thousand taels of silver are really worth it!

Although he had become the captain of the Whaler, Hong Xing did not force him to go out to sea, and he still had several thousand taels of silver that he had not used. Taking drugs in Cape City could also improve the cultivation of Su Xiaozhi and himself, so there was no need to take risks at sea.

Kaka...

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the peach tree in the yard, which was as thick as a man could hug, suddenly fell to the ground. It was actually cut into two halves by Cao Ze with a knife out of thin air.

Cao Ze was also a little surprised. He just casually swung the sword in the air and paid more attention to the momentum. He did not deliberately use the power of Ji Canghai. He did not expect to achieve such an effect.

This sword move is truly extraordinary!

Su Xiaozhi felt a pang of fear. If the knife had been aimed at her, she might be the peach tree now.

Looking at Cao Ze, her eyes couldn't help but dim. She was getting further and further away from Brother Ze...

She thought of the woman in red whom she met in the morning. Although she did not show her skills, she felt a strong sense of oppression from her. She was definitely a master.

And that woman's appearance was no worse than mine...

For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"I must break through quickly!"

Su Xiaozhi continued to practice the Fish-Dragon Body Tempering Technique, but her moves were obviously much more impatient, and instead lost the natural charm of Taoism. Not only would this fail to increase her practice speed, it would also likely lead to her going astray and hurting herself.

Cao Ze saw the sadness in Su Xiaozhi's eyes and felt her impatience, so he walked up to her with a smile, hugged her in his arms, and stopped her from continuing to practice.

Although the number of love points he could obtain every day had been reduced to 28 due to the widening gap in their cultivation levels, for him, Su Xiaozhi was by no means a tool to obtain love points.

night,
Su Xiaozhi was obviously not in a good mood today, but she held Cao Ze tightly with both hands and kept asking for more, as if she was afraid that Cao Ze would leave her the next moment.

Cao Ze simply stopped what he was doing and held her in his arms. His large body completely wrapped her up, giving her a full sense of security.

"Are you so hungry today?"

He lowered his head to Su Xiaozhi's ear and whispered a teasing word.

Su Xiaozhi just hugged Cao Ze tightly without saying anything.

"That's not like you, is it?"

"Have you forgotten the woman who challenged me time and again?"

"I still like your unruly look!"

Su Xiaozhi could feel Cao Ze's love, and her heart suddenly felt much calmer. She hugged Cao Ze and fell into a deep sleep.

……

In Feiyan Port, a large monster-hunting ship has been docked here for more than half a year.

This monster-hunting ship is even larger than the Tornado, being more than ninety meters long and nearly fifteen meters wide, like a giant dragon cruising among the waves.

The hull has smooth lines and a unique design, which cleverly combines ancient oriental aesthetics with powerful functionality. The hull is mainly dark black, and the dark gold decorative patterns meander on the hull, like an ancient spell, exuding a mysterious and majestic atmosphere.

The bow of the ship is carved with the image of a ferocious whale. Its open mouth seems to be able to swallow everything. Its sharp fangs flash coldly in the sun. The pupils of its whale eyes are deep, as if they can see through all evil things.

In the open whale's mouth, there was a gleaming harpoon. If it encountered prey, it would shoot out with a bang, pierce the prey's body, and then be pulled back to the boat by the chain connected to the tail of the harpoon.

There is no doubt that this is the Whaler!
When it stopped here half a year ago, it was covered in scars, but now it looks brand new without any trace of damage.

The ship was already crowded with people, and the crew were training.

"First mate, it's been half a month. When can we go out to sea?"

On the deck, a sloppy young man looked at Tian Haiyi who was standing at the bow, and his tone was quite disrespectful.

Although Tian Haiyi did not agree that night, he began to gather crew members and conduct exercises the next day to prepare for the upcoming voyage, and took on the responsibilities of the first mate.

Tian Haiyi didn't care about the young man's tone. After spending these days together, he knew the other person's personality. This person was the boatswain Cen Hongxin of the Whale Hunter.

Tian Haiyi was able to tolerate the fact that he could become a boatswain with such a personality, naturally because this guy was quite capable. Not to mention his sixth-level martial arts training in body forging, his familiarity with the waters of the East China Sea was also far beyond that of ordinary people. It was okay for a capable person to have a bit of temper.

"The situation in the East China Sea is chaotic and extremely dangerous right now. Why are you so anxious to die?"

Tian Haiyi looked at Cen Hongxin and asked back.

In the past half month, two monster-hunting ships have been slaughtered. Going to the East China Sea now is not a good option.

Cen Hongxin grinned carelessly, "We are all on the monster hunting ship, so naturally we want to seek wealth and fame in danger. Compared to death, we can't stand basking in the sun in the port every day!"

After saying this, he looked at the other crew members on the deck. The other crew members also had burning eyes. Obviously, they agreed with what Cen Hongxin said.

Tian Haiyi smiled and nodded, "Why rush? That day will come. When that day comes, you will know how lucky you are!"

Having seen Cao Ze's abilities, his words were not groundless. This was also a very important reason why he agreed to be the first mate on the Whale Hunter.

"Oh?"

“Then I’m really looking forward to it!”

Cen Hongxin narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something. He had always thought that the airborne captain was a useless person.

But after spending these days together, he knew that Tian Haiyi was not a waste. Since Tian Haiyi said so, then the new captain might really have some skills.

After getting off the boat, Tian Haiyi walked towards Cape City. He should indeed ask Cao Ze about the next sailing plan.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Tian Hai?"

As soon as they got off the Whaler and walked to the port, a group of burly men with fleshy faces came towards them. After seeing Tian Haiyi, they sneered and started to challenge him.

A few days ago, the news that Tian Haiyi was going to be the captain of the Whale Hunter had already spread everywhere. It was also said that he got the position because of his sister's connection with the Yue family's talents. Naturally, this made many people hate him and they couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks in private.

How can a kid who has just broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm be qualified to be the captain of a monster hunting ship?
He's also the captain of the Whaler!

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the captain became the first mate, and these people were as happy as if it were New Year's Day. Now when they meet Tian Haiyi, it is difficult for them to resist making some sarcastic remarks.

"No, no, he should be called First Mate Tian Hai!"

Soon, someone else in the group joined in with a sarcastic remark.

"It's really interesting that a guy who lives off his wife meets another guy who lives off his wife even more..."

"I don't think so. I didn't see how hard Tian Hai's first mate worked. Maybe he wanted to learn from their captain how to live off his wife..."

Hahaha……

There was another round of laughter.
