Chapter 290 - 290 : Marine Divine Beast Bloodline: Water-Repelling Golden-Eyed Beast

"Not only did the fishing line break, but even the fishing rod cracked."

Su Ran placed the fishing rod he was holding in front of his Disciples, Shui Bing'er and the others. The fishing line, having snapped from being stretched to its limit, was now a tangled spring, and the middle of the rod had broken.

He had spent several hours playing with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the Demon Whale Sea Area, using all his strength, with the mindset of either being dragged into the water by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King or reeling it ashore. Yet, at the crucial moment, the line snapped and the rod broke!

This made Teacher Su very sad!

"It's alright, Teacher Su. A 100,000-year Spirit Beast is still a 100,000-year Spirit Beast. It's normal not to be able to catch it. At least one thing is certain: Teacher Su is definitely the first person to fish for a 100,000-year Spirit Beast."

Meng Yiran comforted her Teacher Su.

"Exactly, exactly. If it were anyone else, let alone fishing for a 100,000-year Sea Spirit Beast, they probably wouldn't even dare to hunt it, right?"

"That's true. After all, this Demon Whale King isn't an ordinary 100,000-year Spirit Beast, so it's normal that it's not so easy to catch. But I won't give up so easily."

"Girls, if we want to accomplish something, we must persevere. Persistence is victory."

Su Ran didn't say that he was fishing not for a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, but a million-year Spirit Beast.

But he pulled out a new golden fishing rod from behind him. It exuded a sacred aura, clearly not an ordinary item, and Su Ran's gaze was very firm.

"Teacher Su, do you still want to go fishing for that 100,000-year Spirit Beast again?"

Shui Bing'er was a little speechless. Teacher Su's enthusiasm was truly different from ordinary people.

"That's right, of course I want to fish. The previous fishing rod broke, but fortunately, I got a new one. I believe this fishing rod shouldn't break again."

Su Ran looked at the golden fishing rod in his hand with satisfaction. This was the reward from the System for playing with the whale for two hours—a Divine Grade fishing rod.

Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King escaped this time, Su Ran also received generous fishing rewards. Besides the Divine Grade fishing rod, Su Ran also received a full spirit ring and Spirit Bone enhancement reward of over 30,000 years, several sets of Grandmaster-level water-element Cultivation Techniques, and other water-element Spirit Bones, water-element Physique enhancement essences, and so on.

With the increase of over 30,000 years and the feedback from teaching his Disciples during this period, Su Ran's spirit power experienced a small Breakthrough, reaching an astonishing Level 97 Super Douluo. Such a configuration, in the current Douluo Continent and sea areas, is almost unrivaled in the Spirit Master's world, comparable to a demigod.

However, the ultimate fishing reward for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King—a 900,000-year Spirit Bone, and the secondary ultimate increase in water-element Disciple affinity—had not yet materialized. That was a 900,000-year Spirit Bone, even Teacher Su Ran was tempted.

If he could absorb a 900,000-year Spirit Bone, it would probably allow Su Ran to directly Breakthrough to Level 98 Peak Douluo, and his strength could be further enhanced.

Although Teacher Su Ran's current strength was enough to travel the four seas and traverse the Continent, since he was going to teach his Disciples the Dao of the Divine Path, he naturally had to reach that level first, otherwise, wouldn't it be empty talk?

This also put some pressure on Su Ran.

"Then, Teacher Su, are you going to continue fishing now? If Teacher Su plans to continue fishing for that 100,000-year Spirit Beast in the Demon Whale Sea Area, we can wait here for your good news," Dugu Yan said.

"No, this Deep Sea Demon Whale King's intelligence is higher than that of ordinary Spirit Masters. After this fishing attempt, I doubt it will easily bite the hook again. I'll take you girls to train first, and then find another opportunity to entice it on the way back."

Su Ran sighed, saying that during the fishing just now, he clearly felt a very strong reaction from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Struggling and being pulled by the fishing rod, the huge Demon Whale's body leaped out of the sea, causing monstrous waves. Its pair of eyes, larger than human heads, glared at Su Ran, as if saying:

Damn human! Don't think that just because you are handsome, you can do whatever you want and treat me as nothing! I am a Spirit Beast closest to the million-year limit. If it were in ancient times, I might have already advanced to a true Divine Beast! You actually want to fish me up? Insult! This is naked insult! What do you take me, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, for? Trash fish?

If I were to be caught by you like this, where would my dignity be?!

Owooo~

A whale's cry echoed across the sea, and then with a bang, the fishing line snapped.

"What's so good about enticing a Demon Whale? Why not entice me instead? If the Demon Whale doesn't bite the hook, I'd be very happy to bite Teacher Su's hook, slurp~"

Preferably a meat hook.

Shui Yueer's small face flushed red as she mumbled this, squatting in front of Teacher Su and sniffing the scent beneath him, an epic inhale.

Then, she casually reached out and touched the four-legged Sea Spirit Beast by Teacher Su's feet, which resembled a Qilin with a Dragon mouth, fish scales, and deer antlers, and looked up to ask:

"Teacher Su, what is this little guy? I don't seem to have seen records of this species of Sea Spirit Beast in the West Sea data. I even thought it was the 100,000-year Spirit Beast Teacher Su was fishing for."

At this moment, Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran also showed a hint of confusion.

The Sea Spirit Beast, resembling a Qilin, nestled against Su Ran, appearing very dependent on and fond of him.

Su Ran smiled faintly and said:

"Its name is the Water-Repelling Golden-Eyed Beast. After it matures, riding it allows one to ascend to the heavens and descend into the sea, reaching anywhere. It possesses Dragon Clan Bloodline and Divine Beast Bloodline. Consider it an unexpected gain from not catching the Deep Sea Demon Whale King this time. Don't bully it, girls. This little guy can't smell, so it lacks a sense of security."

"Dragon Clan, Divine Beast?! It sounds even rarer than a 100,000-year Spirit Beast!"

When Teacher Su revealed the origin of the Water-Repelling Golden-Eyed Beast, the Disciples were all surprised. They hadn't expected such a cute and timid Spirit Beast to possess a Divine Beast Bloodline within it.

"After several years, Dean Su's strength has greatly improved. To be able to fish for a 100,000-year Sea Spirit Beast by himself is truly eye-opening for me, Tang. And to gain a mount with a Divine Beast Bloodline, congratulations, congratulations."

It was at this moment that Tang Hao and Tang San cupped their hands and spoke.

Su Ran's expression gradually became indifferent, and he immediately saw through the father and son's intentions:

"It's you two. What, are you also going to Sea God Island? Why are you on our Peach Garden? Are you looking for trouble?"

"Looking for trouble? No, no, Dean Su misunderstands. We have always maintained friendly relations with Peach Garden Academy, and we absolutely do not look for trouble."

"Also? Could it be that Teacher Su and you are also going to Sea God Island?" Tang San exclaimed.
