Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 503 - 268: Fisherman’s Mark Hazard, Zhang Wangyue Slain
"Master!"
Seeing this Fisherman emerge from the void, Zhang Wangyue’s eyes lit up from a distance, and he immediately spoke with excitement.
Zhang Wangyue had watched the entire process of the recent fight between Fang Yu and Qian Luan.
The more he watched, the more surprised Zhang Wangyue became.
Fang Yu, with the capability of a Warship Level sea vessel, was able to contend with the power level of an Extraordinary Ship?
This discovery greatly shook Zhang Wangyue’s heart, leaving him both shocked and despairing.
At this moment, he realized that an impossible gap existed between himself and Fang Yu. Even though they were both Warship Level, Fang Yu could easily destroy him as if playing.
But now, seeing the Fisherman appear, Zhang Wangyue, like a drowning man grabbing the last life-saving straw, shouted excitedly.
But...
The Fisherman didn’t even glance at Zhang Wangyue; his calm and indifferent gaze remained fixed on the Tidal Man in front of him. He said nothing, just stood there, a strange field expanding, making Fang Yu and others feel as if the two were in another space and time.
After a while, the Tidal Man’s eyes narrowed slightly. Although covered by special rules and unable to discern his exact features, everyone still noticed a trace of dangerous aura flowing from his expression.
Their breath gradually grew sharper, and the winds and waves on the sea seemed to be suppressed. The once regularly rippling sea now stilled like a dead pool of water, terrifyingly silent and suffocating.
After some time, the Tidal Man spoke, "Not honestly fishing on Ehuang Island, what are you doing here? Want to save this kid?"
The Fisherman adjusted his straw hat, showing little expression on his simple, wrinkled face. "I’ve taken a liking to this kid. You’ve got what you came for, so just leave. You won’t touch this kid today."
"Taken a liking to this kid?" The Tidal Man snorted, "You know your true purpose, but it’s fine. Since the Council Leader still maintains balance, I won’t quarrel with you."
"I’ve gotten what I wanted; whether this kid is killed or not doesn’t matter. I’ll leave him to you."
"But let me tell you something..."
The Tidal Man cast a deep glance at the Fisherman and sneered, "Though we belong to the Council, there are ideological conflicts between the Balance Faction and the Reform Faction."
"Now everyone respects the Council Leader, but when his peak wanes, there will surely be a conflict between us. I’m looking forward to that day..."
The Tidal Man sneered and reached out his hand, preparing to rush toward the direction of the Sin Domain with Qian Luan.
But at this moment, the Fisherman spoke slowly, "I know your background; you are a product of Soul Splitting Alchemy, not a complete life in the strictest sense. Thus, you can only walk the path of reform and cannot establish a sea vessel."
"How many in the Reform Faction truly have no choice? When the time comes, perhaps someone from the Reform Faction will stand with me."
These words of the Fisherman caused the Tidal Man’s form to halt abruptly.
After a moment, he gave the Fisherman a cold glance and a snort before his figure moved, instantly disappearing from this sea area.
The Fisherman then turned his gaze to Fang Yu and nodded slowly:
"You’re quite good; from now on, you are my disciple."
"This path is fine. Continue to soul-transform the sea vessel and let that Alchemist keep enchanting it; his Enchantment Seal Pattern is quite extraordinary!"
"Disciple?"
Fang Yu looked directly at the Fisherman without hesitation, his heart sinking slightly.
From the Fisherman’s eyes, he saw extreme indifference and seasoned weariness.
It was an inhuman indifference, devoid of emotion, as if in the Fisherman’s eyes, everything in the world was insignificant, unworthy of his emotional investment.
This kind of gaze...
Perhaps it was because he had lived so long, witnessing too much change, causing his heart to lose humanity over time.
This Fisherman... must have an extraordinary origin, likely an ancient entity surviving to the present day.
Upon hearing the Fisherman wants to take him as a disciple, an uneasy thought emerged in Fang Yu’s heart.
Perhaps... what he truly took a liking to wasn’t him, but his... ship!
"What if I refuse?"
Fang Yu’s voice rang out from the sea vessel as he stared at the Fisherman, without retreating.
But clearly, the disparity between Fang Yu and the Fisherman was large enough to cause a one-sided suppression.
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, the Fisherman still showed no emotion or expression. He spoke, as if stating a matter of fact.
"You have no choice. You and that Alchemist friend have already been targeted. With my protection, you both can survive. Otherwise, it’s just waiting for death."
"Moreover, my decision doesn’t require your consent."
The Fisherman spoke calmly, as a dark red light flickered briefly in his eyes.
The next moment, Fang Yu felt a cold sensation surge through his body, and even the sea vessel began emanating a chilling aire.
With the emergence of this sensation, a dark red mark, palm-sized, silently appeared on the sea vessel.
Seeing this mark, Fang Yu’s pupils constricted sharply. His energy level began to flow wildly within him, checking for any anomalies inside his body.
But after a circuit of his energy, he found no abnormalities in his body.
It seemed as if the chilling feeling was merely an illusion of Fang Yu’s.
But the conspicuous mark made it clear to Fang Yu that the Fisherman definitely did something to him just now.
