Chapter 51: The Voyage
Skip the challenge.
Sounds like nothing unusual.
Those transcendents who have been stuck in a sequence for decades, whose spiritual accumulation has reached the extreme, or those who are on the verge of mutation and madness, can achieve transcendent challenges.
In addition, it is not uncommon for some paths to be longer than long-range battles and shorter than melee battles, and to be defeated by a sequence lower than their own.
It seems that there is nothing to be afraid of.
But you must know that Zhang Huaisheng has only just been promoted to sequence 8, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Zhang Huaisheng stretched out his hand, looked up and down, and found that the previous distortion had all disappeared, he suppressed the idea of transforming into a werewolf on the spot to test it, and opened the hatch.
Teresa was standing guard outside the door.
He said, "It's hard work. β
Teresa, who was a little nervous on her face, let out a sigh of relief, and complained a little: "I just felt a strong spiritual fluctuation, are you being promoted?" β
Although it was a question sentence, Teresa's tone was firm.
"You should have let Ms. O'Connell guard it together, why didn't you say it in advance?"
Zhang Huaisheng's tone was very light: "The ritual materials are complete, and the spirituality has been promoted to the extreme, promotion is just a matter of course, there is no need to be so popular." β
"That being said, even if the materials are complete and the potions are taken every year, there are still countless people who fail to be promoted."
"It's a bit sloppy."
Zhang Huaisheng frowned: "You're right, promotion is not only my business, and I should notify everyone in advance."
If I fail to be promoted and become an aberration, the whole ship may suffer doom. β
He pinched his eyebrows, a little annoyed - in fact he hadn't thought about the possibility of failure, but his promotion was not without risk.
In doing so, he is putting the lives of everyone around him in danger.
I still have a lack of consideration in my actions, and I am not old enough to be serious.
Choked a little uncomfortable by Zhang Huaisheng's blunt words, Teresa felt a little aggrieved in her heart, she was just worried about Zhang Huaisheng's safety, where was she afraid that she would be implicated?
Zhang Huaisheng said again: "Teresa, I just finished my promotion, I'm a little tired, and I want to go back and rest first." β
"Wait... Wait a minute. β
With apprehension and uneasiness, Teresa tentatively asked, "Jinyu, what do you mean by what you said before, I don't feel like I said it casually. β
"It's just a whisper when you're spiritually confused, you don't have to worry about it."
"In addition, I agree with what you said before, the transcendent path is too cruel, and once you set foot on it, it is too extravagant to talk about emotional matters."
Zhang Huaisheng looked away slightly, not daring to look at her watery eyes.
"That's... That's great. β
Teresa said with some insincerity: "Thank you very much for seeing this, the future... In the future, I hope we can get along well, at least like friends. β
Zhang Huaisheng smiled and said softly: "We have always been friends. β
"Thank you again, Teresa, but I'm going to rest now."
He turned and walked away.
Behind him, a faint sobbing sound could be heard, although it was well disguised, how could it escape Zhang Huaisheng's keen hearing.
But his steps did not pause in the slightest, it was not cruelty, but a kindness that he could only pay.
Their future is impossible, so it is better to let Teresa break her thoughts sooner.
It's just that he also feels guilty in his heart, if he hadn't had the idea of using Teresa to increase the speed of the "twin pathway" play, he wouldn't have let the sub-personality get along with Teresa.
He admits his meanness, but even if he does it again, he will do it.
When you step into the cabin, you can see a pair of blue eyes that shimmer with a faint glow.
Sir Tom, with his shiny fur, walked with graceful steps and sharp eyes, like a king patrolling his territory, but at the moment he saw Zhang Huaisheng.
It immediately arched its back and blew its fur as if it had seen some kind of wild beast.
Meow Woo β
The shrill hiss startled the bystanders.
Alina, who was chasing after Sir Tom, hurriedly picked up Sir Tom, and while softly comforting, she complained, "Brother Jinyu, why did you scare it?" β
But as soon as Alina approached Zhang Huaisheng, Sir Tom let out another scream, broke free from her embrace, and ran away with a puff of smoke.
"I didn't do anything."
Zhang Huaisheng looked puzzled, and immediately realized that he might have just been promoted, and his spirituality had skyrocketed, resulting in not all convergences for a while.
Black cats like Sir Tom have always been recognized as animals with spiritual vision in the transcendent world, and can even be used to warn of the approach of "evil spirits".
It's normal for it to see the problem.
Of course, it is also possible that he is filled with the breath of a werewolf at this time.
As a low-level predator, it is normal for Sir Tom to instinctively have a sense of fear of werewolves of higher-level predators.
"Alaina, what are you doing with Sir Tom?"
Alina said proudly, "I want to find the evil spirit, and I heard my sisters say that black cats can see 'ghosts', and I think that if I follow Sir Tom, I will definitely find the evil spirit that scares me." β
Zhang Huaisheng was slightly stunned, and said helplessly: "Although I don't want to discourage your enthusiasm, I have to inform you that the evil spirit has been found and eliminated by me just now, and the reason why Sir Tom is so scared when he sees me may be because I am contaminated with the breath of the evil spirit." β
The evil spirit has reached a complete role, and he no longer needs to intimidate the little nuns who are so frightened all day that they don't even dare to come out of the cabin.
"Huh? It's true? β
Alina's tone was full of joy: "Then we can leave the cabin?" β
"Of course."
Zhang Huaisheng was very helpless, the reason why the "evil spirit" did not enter their cabin was purely because he didn't want to see something that shouldn't be seen.
But this was interpreted by the nuns as a pattern of movement for "evil spirits" to wander only in the corridors and on the decks.
...
In the evening, a storm came.
The Hanseatic was in the wind and rain, fluttering as if it was about to capsize at any moment, and the nuns hid in their cabins, praying that the storm would pass as soon as possible.
Zhang Huaisheng was on deck, fighting the storm with the captain.
After a rainstorm, the Hanseatic was reduced by one man, and the hapless man was swept away by the wind and wavesβbut as he fell into the sea, Zhang Huaisheng clearly saw a huge shadow flash under the water.
Is it giant sea creatures such as whales?
Or is it the source of this storm? A transcendent sea monster?
Zhang Huaisheng felt a sense of fear in his heart, but he knew that this matter must not be told to the public, it would only cause fear in people's hearts.
Anyway, it would be easy for a sea monster like that to destroy the Hanseatic with such a terrifying sea monster.
It doesn't make sense for them to be on guard or not.
Fortunately, until the rain passed, the sea beast did not show up again, if it wasn't for Zhang Huaisheng's belief in his eyes, he would definitely have to wonder if the scene he saw before was an illusion.
Time passed like this.
Until the evening of the twentieth day, Zhang Huaisheng was in the cabin, drinking with Killian, who had recovered.
Both were slightly drunk.
Killian couldn't help but complain: "Day after day, when will I get to the United States, I feel like my whole body is floating moldy at sea." β
Zhang Huaisheng frowned, touched his jaw, which had not been shaved for a long time and had a short beard, and sighed: "If we hadn't lost our way, we should have arrived soon." β
Being trapped on a cramped ship for a long time was not a comfortable experience, and he felt like he was getting moldy.
"I hope so..."
"Huaisheng, Teresa is really a good girl, she is beautiful and kind, even those royal princesses, that's it."
"You're a little too much of a princess."
Zhang Huaisheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, with some sarcasm.
"There are as many princesses as the stars in the sky, but Teresa is unique, and I admire her."
If it weren't for the original owner, Zhang Huaisheng felt that it was impossible for him to be attracted to Teresa.
But what is lacking in this world is "if".
"It's a pity, I don't know how you got to this point, I've always felt that you are very suitable, if there is still a chance to redeem..."
Zhang Huaisheng interrupted him: "I'm sorry, Killian, I really don't have this kind of opportunity, I know it's a pity, but you know, there are always a lot of imperfections in this world." β
Just then, there was a cheer from above the deck.
Someone excitedly shouted, "See the land!" We see the land! β
