Chapter 605: The Annoyed Ling Luo
Qingqiu was originally just someone that was not worthy of being mentioned among the Green Dragons.
If he were still in Divine Dominion, then he would always be someone that could never catch the eyes of anyone.
However, ever since he was summoned by the Shifter Emperor to this world, he fell in love with it.
The reason was because, in this world, his presence was at his peak. He would be the center of attention wherever he went.
Not only that, but he had also gained a lot more care from this world.
When the thought of Jiang Feng coming to save him despite the danger, he could feel a warmth flowing through his heart, and it did not dissipate.
“Roar!”
At this time, the Sea Wyrm unleashed a roar as it continued to patrol at the layer where Qingqiu was, and it did not head upward.
However, it commanded all the sea monsters to hide.
Two huge eels were then hiding in the ship that Qingqiu was in.
When Qingqiu saw this, he began to halt his breathing so that he would enter suspended animation. He silently watched everything as he closed his eyes and began to send the news over to Jiang Feng.

Just as Jiang Feng was transmuting the corpses of the fish, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Boss, did you successfully enter the ocean in the Devil’s Triangle? If you did, you should be on the upper layer of where I am. I am one layer lower than where you are, but there is a Sea Wyrm here with powers far greater than mine. The sea monsters have also prepared an ambush for you in the lower level. Do not come down!”
‘A sea wyrm more powerful than Qingqiu?’ He slightly frowned.
If there really was a sea wyrm that was so powerful down there, it could very easily kill him even if it did not prepare an ambush.
He could not understand why it would want to set up an ambush. Perhaps, there was something here that he did not know that it was scared of?
He shook his head despite his confusion and continued to transmute all the corpses within this layer of the ocean.
If no one was going to disturb him, he could then transmute all the corpses there. When the time came, he could eat some Super Enhancing Pills to increase his power. It would be best if it was enough to increase his power to the Abyssal Realm.
“Guard me. I will give you one Super Enhancing Pill later!” In order to stop himself from being ambushed by any sea monsters, he then promised a reward to the mermaid that was half-lying in the clamshell.
“Truly?!” When the mermaid heard that Jiang Feng would give her a Super Enhancing Pill, she became excited. Seeing Jiang Feng nod, she then very actively patrolled the surroundings, stopping any enemies from approaching.

The temple floating in space within Divine Dominion.
Ling Luo had been spending all this time repairing the Divine Dominion’s many systems.
“Damn it, damn it! I didn’t expect putting it on automatic would create so many loopholes!” When Divine Dominion was in beta, it was already announced that there would not be any bugs within the game.
That was mainly because many staff members were observing the game as well as Ling Luo cooperating with them during their checkups. There were no loopholes because of that.
However, Ling Luo herself had entered the game while creating a subroutine to run the system. That was why it had allowed some NPCs with super A.I.s to be able to create some loopholes in some instances.
That being said, what made her agitated was that as soon as she had finished patching them, it was as if something was interfering with her, and some other irreparable bugs would appear.
“Sigh… It seems that the mainframe’s chipset is still incomplete. Otherwise, something like this never would have happened. Looks like I will need to look for the Dragon Emperor of Space-Time to find a way to open the path toward Tianji. I will need to increase the pace of the game, and choose some candidates!”
After she finished saying that, she quickly manipulated the sphere in front of her. Then, her body disappeared from the temple as she quickly headed toward the Bottomless Pit.

Jiang Feng had stayed in the second layer of the Devil’s Triangle for almost two hours before managing to transmute all the corpses of the sea monsters within.
He managed to transmute 37 Super Enhancing Pills.
When he was weakened during the process, he had eaten the normal Enhancing Pills instead. He did not dare eat the Super Enhancing Pills, because eating them was far too painful for him.
He swam over to the Mermaid and took out two Super Enhancing Pills. He then said, “This is what I have promised you. Let me enter the shell, and I will give you another one!”
“Alright!” The mermaid accepted the two Super Enhancing Pills excitedly and opened her clamshell. She then entered together with Jiang Feng.
Once within the shell, Jiang Feng then ate one-half of a Super Enhancing Pill and began to digest it.
The mermaid directly ate one full Super Enhancing Pill and digested it together with Jiang Feng.
After ten minutes, Jiang Feng was sweating as he had finally completed his digestion of the pill.
This time, he could feel that his Inner Chi had increased greatly and had become the base for him to break through to Grandmaster Lesser Completion.
“Hm?”
But what made him feel confused was that despite the mermaid having eaten one whole Super Enhancing Pill, she had shown no expression of pain at all. Instead, she was enjoying it very much.
Not only that, he noticed that the mermaid’s power level, whose power was originally only at the early stages of Grandmaster, kept on increasing. One Super Enhancing Pill had allowed her power to increase to Peak Grandmaster level.
“Impossible! How could her power increase so quickly?!” Jiang Feng could not believe what he was seeing as he stared in shock.
Just when he was still feeling bewildered, the mermaid sighed with a satisfied smile, “Whew… Some of my power have at least been restored!”
“How powerful were you originally?” Jiang Feng frowned when he heard what the mermaid said as he looked at her in full alert.
From what the mermaid had said, he knew that the mermaid must have been very powerful. But something happened to her and caused her power to decrease, so that was why she showed up with her power level at Low Grandmaster level.
And he had just given the mermaid two Super Enhancing Pills. One was enough to restore her to Peak Grandmaster. Two was probably enough to make her more powerful than him.
Once the mermaid was more powerful than he was, he could not guarantee that the mermaid would not attack him for the remaining Super Enhancing Pills.
When the mermaid saw that Jiang Feng was being careful, she ran her fingers through her hair and then gave him a smile as she covered her mouth with her hand. “Worry not. Even if my power is fully restored, I would at most be as powerful as you. I am no threat to you!”
Jiang Feng did not believe the mermaid, but he had already decided that he would not give any Super Enhancing Pills to the mermaid.
“I hope so,” He said to the mermaid as he ate the other half of the Super Enhancing Pill and continued to digest.
As he was digesting it, he activated his chi shield just in case the mermaid attacked him.
The mermaid glanced at Jiang Feng as he was digesting the Super Enhancing Pill as her lips curled into a smile. She then ate the other Super Enhancing Pill.
Jiang Feng stayed for about 5 hours within the clamshell. Using the Super Enhancing Pill, he had finally reached the level of Grandmaster Greater Completion.
As for the mermaid, it was just as he had guessed. After eating the second Super Enhancing Pill, her power had reached Grandmaster Lesser Completion. There was not much difference between them.
T/L Note: If their power levels were similar, she should be at GM Greater Completion too. Don’t know why the author wrote down that she’s only at Grandmaster Lesser Completion.
Of course, it was just a feeling.
As the mermaid’s power was similar to his, he could not really sense how powerful she was.
In the real world, he could not sense anything if the target was at the same level. Unless the target used something that was a signature of a certain power level, only then would he be able to identify it.
