Chapter 4: Confrontation
Translator: Sigma Editor: – –
The sun was warm and the sea water was warm as well .
In this warm sea water, there was a grey monster sprinting .
It had a pointy tip and another round tip . Its body had an oval and slightly long shape with a noticeably thick gray skin along with dozens of strong tentacles .
It was chasing after big and small fish with an incredible speed, freely killing everything until he caught his targeted ones . The majority of them would be turned into dry corpses floating on the surface of the sea . We can keep a delicious one but do not spit out the bad one cause that is an ashamed behavior of wasting resources .
Sui Xiong could freely use this monster’s body .
Even the hard-shell turtles and flying sea birds were also in his menu .
Day by day passed by, this monster was getting longer and bigger, more and more ferocious .
In this world, this monster seemed not to have even one natural enemy . It freely acted in the high sky and the vast sea, which made him extremely happy .
This was like perfecting skills to get to any specific goals by yourself without going to school, how cool is this?!
“How long has it been since I jumped space?” After eating till being full, Sui Xiong thought about this problem while sun-bathing .
He wasn’t clear . He didn’t count either . He had completely forgotten about this .
He had slowly gotten used to this life now, become familiar with his body, which was a fierce creature on the top of the food chain, an intimidating sea monster, a dominator on the shore and in the sea .
He still couldn’t find out the solution to get out of this body, yet he didn’t care about this problem anymore . At the moment, this body of his was really good, way more better than a human body . The tentacles, which were repetitively reinforced, worked more effectively than human limbs . The swimming speed of the propellers, were much faster than a human’s . . Not to mention the long-lasting thick skin, even the legendary Golden Mask Iron Gown couldn’t be compared to this .
At least in the sea, this kind of body was perfect .
Let alone, thanks to his constant hunt and his unceasing digestion of weak creatures’ spirits, and his spirit also grew much stronger . His diving depth had been increased significantly . The scope of his soul-taking attack got wider and wider as well .
He felt that, he, himself, was not much different from a champion .
“Right now, it’s time to take down some tough-to-beat opponents!”
Sui Xiong muttered alone, his eyes were put on some distant place in the sea .
He was able to tell from the sensations of his spirit that there were some invincible opponents in that place .
“What will it be? A big fish? No, a big fish simply has more meat as it is bigger . A sea monster? Maybe it is, maybe it thinks I want to invade its territory . Maybe . . . a giant whale? The one that almost makes me lose my life?”
When thinking about the last possibility, Sui Xiong’s mood, which was originally calm, slowly became infuriated . He was a generous type . ‘You must pay off all your debts if you get one’ was his principle . As a mighty warrior, he also desired to fight with the other mighty warriors .

In this vast sea, in this completely unknown world, only fighting could give his dying soul a little bit of shinning vitality!
Fight!
Facing with the pressure transmitted through his spirit’s sensation, Sui Xiong put on his fighting posture .
After a while, a giant shadow gradually appeared from the deep place in the sea .
Its body was huge . Its horn was sharp . This was none other than the Giant Horned Whale
Sui Xiong couldn’t help but smile coldly when he saw its appearance .
“Good timing! I happen to want to find you to end our old scores! Honestly speaking, I am really curious how you will be tasted like? . . . ”
As for this Giant Horned Whale that that had almost killed me from before, there is no need to study carefully about it .
You’ll quickly get older if thinking too much, just beat up this damned bastard!
Facing the well-prepared monster, that Giant Single-Horn Whale appeared to be little cautious . It didn’t rush forward but slowly stepped back then stopped .
Sui Xiong meticulously observed the Giant Horned Whale . This fellow had a water drop shape . The upper half of its body was shining black . The lower half of it was slightly white . Its pair of giant eyes somehow gave off a human feel . The long and sharp Horned on its forehead somehow looked really dangerous .
For an unknown reason, his attention was always drawn in to that Horned . Whenever he put his eyes on the Horned, he immediately felt a shaking sensation inside of him .
“Look . . . This single horn is an extremely powerful weapon!” He secretly revised his strategy, “A frontal attack may be impossible, let’s do like this . Wait for its attack . As soon as it comes forward, I will instantly rush over under its body, use my tentacles to grab its body, squeeze its stomach, and then slowly punish it . I guarantee it’ll be beaten so hard that even its parents can’t recognize it!”
After deciding his strategy, he was no longer hasty, but patiently waited . That Giant Horned Whale seemed as if it wasn’t in a hurry to attack either . It was doing the same thing, which was waiting on the spot . .
The two highest existences in the sea food chain were peacefully confronting each other .
After a while, Sui Xiong felt a little bored . Suddenly, he could feel an energy that was transmitting to him . This energy was cold and profound . It brought along an insecure pressure to other people . The place where the energy came from was that Giant Horned Whale .
What are you? .
.
He immediately understood what that meant without being in need of a language .
“F**k! It also has a translating system!” He couldn’t bear but laugh, giving up the fighting thought .
It would be great if he could communicate with it . Having been in this world for quite a long time, all he could see was just the vast sea with flowing water . He was very distressed . Finally, he had met someone he could communicate with and get some information about this world . This made him overjoyed .
He concentrated his mind to send his thoughts to the Giant Horned Whale .
“I’ve just come across this place, where is this place?”
He sent out his thought . Unexpectedly, just a short note like this had worn out his mentality which made him dizzy, his vision also darkened .

Right at this moment, the Giant Horned Whale started its attack .
A single horn, which was full of an icy cold energy, emerged out of the white waves . The sea water surrounding suddenly had several white curves, which rapidly flooded over Sui Xiong’s body . The eccentric enormous jellyfish’s body shook lightly . It was covered by a thick layer of ice .
“F**k! Wretched!”
Sui Xiong was extremely dizzy . He had no way to fight back, could only helplessly look at the wicked smile in the eyes of that giant whale, which suddenly accelerated, spurted in front of him, and opened its mouth widely .
Its white bare teeth all of sudden snapped at least one third of his body, including the ice layer, and was brutally cut off then forcefully swallowed .
This could be considered a successful sneak attack . The Giant Whale took advantage of Sui Xiong’s lack of experience, and tricked him to consume his mentality . Then when he blindly overused his mentality, it launched a powerful attack, and immediately cornered him into a dead end .
If he were a giant jellyfish, at this moment, he must have been dead .
But . . . Sui Xiong basically was not a jellyfish . That giant monster was just his “Room” for this time being .
Losing a Room is not something frightful!
Sui Xiong quickly recovered, seeing himself inside of the giant whale made him uncontrollably outraged . He let out a low cold laugh .
“You are seeking . . . . your own death!”
An invisible hand reached out, roaming the Giant Whale’s body .
The body of the giant whale, which was puffingly enjoying its prey, shook entirely . His huge eyes revealed an inconceivable look which was extremely terrifying . The giant single horn on its forehead emitted endless icy cold air, directly turning the big surrounding area of the sea into a frozen ice block .
This was its most powerful killing move . In the giant whale’s past, this did not only help it escape from the danger once but also help it turn failure into a victory .
But this time, the hard frozen ice couldn’t help it anymore . On the contrary, due to its excessive use of power, its spirit was temporarily spinning .
In just this split of a second .
It was enough to kill it .
However, the giant whale’s spirit was very big and tough . Even though Sui Xiong had caught it, for now, he had no way to take it out . Both sides were struggling . In fact, Sui Xiong almost fell into a disadvantage situation . Although his starting point was so much lower than the giant whale’s, he had obtained quite a decent amount of spirits . His spirit’s overall amount had increased remarkably, but regardless it was the quantity or quality aspect, it was still lightly inferior as compared to the giant whale’s .
However, that Giant Whale was using its Ice power to strengthen its own spirit . The result of excessively displaying power was that its spirit was temporarily unconscious, losing its resisting power .
In a blink of an eye, Sui Xiong cut off the connection between its spirit and body .
The next thing he did was pulling it out .
Pull pull pull radish, pull pull pull radish, pull pull pull pull, put more oil, use more force .
The Giant Whale’s body was constantly shaking . The sharp single horn was releasing freezing cold energy nonstop as always . But all of this was useless .
A body, which had lost its spirit, had no way to be able to adapt to this situation this quickly . Sui Xiong wouldn’t let it have this opportunity either .
A moment later, Sui Xiong finally could take out the giant whale’s spirit .
Even though he couldn’t see the true shape of the spirit, he was able to feel clearly that this time he had gained such huge spoils, would have a big amount of sea food .
The process of obtaining its spirit was not easy . After all, this Giant Whale was also a strong being, which was completely different from other sea creatures . Its spirit had risked its life to resist . There were many times it could even escape from Sui Xiong’s grasp .
In the end, it still couldn’t escape from this, instead, it just distinctively struggled . Sui Xiong firmly caught it, constantly absorbing .
After a long while, the Giant Whale’s entire spirit was absorbed by him eventually . Spirit’s nutrition had become his nutrition .
Eating this Giant Whale’s spirit somehow gave Sui Xiong a feeling of being too full . This fellow was too big . A snake swallowing an elephant was not a pleasant job .
Fortunately, eating spirit wouldn’t really make his stomach explode . After having taken a rest, he recovered in the end .
This time hunting was extremely dangerous . That giant whale was truly worthy of its name as an invincible creature in the sea . Not only was its formidable power mystic, but its mind was also cunning . If it wasn’t because Sui Xiong wasn’t afraid of hurting this body with God-given advantage, and this giant whale lacked of spirit-killing experience, on the contrary, more than half of the loss would be Sui Xiong’s .
But there was a so-called quote saying that there would be money from risking . This time, dangerous hunt did bring Sui Xiong a lot of profits .
Eating a sea creature’s spirit made his spirit become incredibly formidable . If this world were a game, then at this moment, the LEVEL_UP symbol would constantly appear above his head several times .
However, during those times he had just harvested a small part .
The big harvest came from the giant whale’s spirit and those news .
These news might be a little messy . To Sui Xiong, the majority of them didn’t have any effect on his hunting experience . Yet, they still had lots of other benefits for him .
For example, using the cold power method . For example, the large land of the map .
Sui Xiong was certain that if he was a little bit late, the giant whale, which had just been killed by him, would almost eat him up alive . He was like hitting the mark by a fluke, and eventually could get his revenge eventually .
Based on the giant whale’s memory, right now he was pretty close to the border position, turning to the other direction then traveling for one or two days—what, this giant whale, in one or two days—-could see the inland .
This made him really excited and want to hurriedly cgo back to the mainland to find people and study about the exact current situation .
However, he still suppressed his excitement and didn’t hurry return to the mainland . Instead, he decided to go deeper into the sea .
Because what he needed to do now was to enhance his strength .

But your prospects in this Malthusian world are limited. Johanna Milton and her friends have an answer: delve into Ancient ruins, avoid Changed beasts and mana pockets, and salvage Ancient materials, collectibles, and trinkets to sell.

Suddenly, Talents straight out of fantasy novels become theirs. While they try to make sense of what happens, eyes turn to them, to the four who seem to break all rules.
