Chapter 232 Deliberate Enticement, Sea God Awakens
"Young Master, I believe that your statement about valuing essence is actually contradictory."
This confirmed that Su Chen's statement about valuing quality over quantity was correct. Di Tian then changed the subject and continued.
"But Di Tian does not agree with the young master's suggestion to use immortal energy to enhance our strength."
"Oh?"
Su Chen glanced at Di Tian, raised an eyebrow, and asked in confusion.
In Su Chen's opinion, the method of using immortal energy was a bit too crude, but isn't it true that some things can only be broken by being a little crude?
He was also very interested to hear what different opinions Di Tian had.
Di Tian was not deterred by Su Chen's "Oh." He knew that Su Chen was not displeased, but rather signaling him to continue and see if what he said made sense.
Under Su Chen's gaze, Di Tian slowly revealed his thoughts.
"For someone of my strength, it's very difficult to improve even a little bit. And improving by just 149 would be enough to easily defeat my previous self, let alone kill him."
"Even a slight increase in strength is a world of difference compared to before."
"And change is the most uncontrollable factor. Young Master's strength has increased so quickly, there must have been times when his strength increased too quickly, causing him to lose control of his own power."
"This can happen to us too."
"It's unlikely, but it does happen."
Di Tian paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts before continuing.
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is different. He was already very strong, and the young master allowed him to improve his strength little by little, giving him time to adapt to the changes in his own strength."
"It seems that if the young master wants to improve the strength of the rest of us, it will be difficult to have this time to adapt."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had this much time because he wanted to use his power to force Poseidon to make the wrong decision.
But things were different when it came to Di Tian and his group.
They must not let Poseidon notice their increased strength, otherwise Poseidon might immediately realize something is wrong and choose to retreat.
Therefore, their advancement must have been instantaneous, occurring the moment Poseidon descended.
This means there is no time to adapt.
Di Tian and his group might actually be unable to unleash their full potential because of this boost.
Listening to Di Tian's words, Su Chen realized that he had been a bit too hasty.
Poseidon's strength far surpassed that of any enemy he had faced before, causing him to lose his composure in his actions.
In addition, the matter of killing Poseidon involves whether he can return to Hokage and whether he can see his friends in that world.
Acting too hastily and losing one's sense of proportion.
These two things shouldn't have happened to him in the first place.
"you're right."
Realizing his mental state was problematic, Su Chen immediately examined himself and adjusted his mindset. He looked at Di Tian and agreed with Di Tian's explanation.
"It's not very feasible to improve your strength."
"Let's leave it at that."
With that final word, Su Chen didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked Bi Ji about the medicinal herbs and asked her to give him the collected herbs once a day.
After he finished dealing with things here, he had Xiao Wu take him for a stroll in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Of course, at Xiao Wu's request, Su Chen also took her away from the Star Dou Great Forest to the outside human world, far away from the imperial cities of the two great empires. Even the power of the Spirit Hall was very weak there.
Xiao Wu had previously visited the imperial city, where there were many people, mostly powerful and wealthy individuals, which left a very bad impression on her.
However, the places Su Chen and Su Chen visited this time were not frequented by the powerful and wealthy; they were mostly ordinary people from the Douluo World.
For some people, the awakened martial spirit may not be enough to support their continued cultivation.
Seeing these people and their neighborly help, Xiao Wu and Su Chen were also warmly received when they arrived.
It was a remote place, but it gave Xiao Wu an excellent experience.
When their journey ended, the two returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Xiao Wu looked at the forest in front of her, then suddenly looked up at Su Chen and asked a question.
"Brother Su Chen, I didn't know there were places like that in the human world."
"I always thought that apart from Brother Su Chen, all humans were either the kind of people I had met, or the kind of people who wantonly slaughtered soul beasts and hunted for soul rings."
The people she had met before had a profound impact on Xiao Wu, or rather, they had given her a different perspective on humanity.
Su Chen didn't say anything else, but simply pointed to the Starry Sky Forest in front of Xiao Wu and spoke.
"Human life is like the myriad aspects of a soul beast, just as you know it."
"You believe that it's wrong for humans to hunt spirit beasts and obtain spirit rings."
"But there are also evil beings among the soul beasts. They act recklessly and indiscriminately kill innocent lives."
"So what if such a being is killed?"
Su Chen looked down and saw the thoughtful look in Xiao Wu's eyes. He chuckled and shook his head. She was still too naive. A few words were enough to sway her mind.
"Does it matter if you only hunt what you perceive as evil spirit beasts?"
"But from other perspectives, aren't evil spirit beasts also living beings?"
"All things in the world are living beings."
"Hunting soul beasts and seizing soul rings is the path for soul masters to advance."
"You can't say he's right, and you can't say he's wrong."
"It all depends on which angle you look at it from."
……
Su Chen said a lot, but seeing the even more confused look in Xiao Wu's eyes after listening, it was clear that Xiao Wu had heard but not understood what he was saying.
But it doesn't matter. Just as Su Chen said, humans hunt soul beasts, and vice versa. In Su Chen's opinion, neither is wrong.
It's important to know that Su Chen was able to get to where he is today by hunting down soul beasts.
Since we've benefited from it, there's no way to criticize it.
Su Chen said these things to Xiao Wu simply to tell her that many things shouldn't be judged solely on right and wrong.
As for how much of what Xiao Wu could take in, he had no idea.
Su Chen and Xiao Wu spent a few more days playing in the Star Dou Great Forest. During these days, Bi Ji would hand over the medicinal herbs she collected to Su Chen every night. After Su Chen refined them in a proper manner, he would hand over the bottle containing the immortal energy to Bi Ji and ask her to deliver it to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
During this period, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength steadily improved under the influence of bottle after bottle of immortal energy, and even his realm appeared to have improved. Only the Deep Sea Demon Whale King himself knew that his realm had only appeared to have improved, and in reality, it had not changed at all.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King knows only his own affairs, but Poseidon, who is monitoring him, is completely unaware of this!
In Poseidon's eyes, who was monitoring him, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was showing signs of a breakthrough!
Everything I thought before was wrong!
Now that I think about it carefully, no wonder the King of the Deep Sea Secret Realm deliberately exposed this matter to mislead him! (End of Chapter)
