“Is that… the god of the sea?” Lindsay muttered to herself in a trance.The rest of the crowd flooded toward the deck and looked onward before freezing in shock themselves. It was impossible for anyone to understand how ridiculously awesome and epic the spectacle was without seeing it with their own eyes. Zayn stood on the surface of the sea, his body erect, with only the soles of his feet submerged. His stance was surprisingly stable too. Despite the bobbing waves and the gale billowing above the sea, he remained firm on his feet.It was a sight that shattered worldviews. They had never seen anyone who could stand atop of the surface of the sea like an erected rock. This, right here, was man once again subjugating nature with his strength—but this time, it was the might of the ocean!Several older folks among the crowd were overcome by such burning fervency that it bled into religiosity. Dropping to their knees with their face wrought with reverence, they cried in rapture, “It’s
Zayn felt amazing. He felt like he was on cloud nine, and he had not felt like this for a very long time. Out here on the surface of the sea, he saw only the ocean and its boundless expanse. It made him feel limitless.The spectators felt that same bursting sense of freedom from him, and they could not help but resonate with it. Their hearts fluttered before they pounded with jealousy and envy toward Zayn. Oh, his life was truly the only one worth living!They could earn as much money as they could, and yet they would never break away from the chains of being unremarkable, unspectacular mortals. Their lives were already doomed to the Sisyphean trap of mediocrity.Alas, Zayn Larson was above them all. The power to rule over others had become the banalest and least of his pursuit. He had long set his eyes way beyond these petty trivialities; breaking the limiting shackles of a human being. Transcending and mastering the universe were his real ambitions.Even the usually stoic Ray beg
Dick could feel Zayn’s encroaching aura, which caused him to wince slightly.A profound sense of icy dread pooled from the bottom of his heart. Could he have underestimated Zayn? Could he have made a grave mistake, and was he really severely unmatched?This little whiff of doubt lasted as long as a millisecond in his mind before Dick cast it out of his skull. As a powerful fighter who had achieved the third tier of the superior class and the combat instructor of the Wolf’s Fang squad, he would naturally possess the mental fortitude equal to his prestige and should not have been so easily intimidated by Zayn just like that. It took only a few seconds for the man to muster and reinforce his resolve to fight.He clashed with Zayn head-on.A battle across the surface of the ocean was new to both fighters, which was why it was the perfect showcase for the clash of power and skills between two superior class fighters. Even master fighters would find standing on the surface of water stead
Dick could feel the raw power from Zayn’s punch—and it was dangerous enough that his pupils constricted while his skin crawled.He took a deep breath, steeling himself with the knowledge that there was no way out of this. The only choice left was to fight fire with fire, using offense as defense. He had always been known for his unyielding brute force and his monstrous strength. He should be able to brace attacks from someone who was only as tall as 1.8 meters.Pow! Pow! Pow!Zayn launched into multiple consecutive punches without rest. More than five hundred punches were unleashed within a single minute—in other words, he dished out ten blows per second, which was pretty much the epitome of speed. Worse, every single punch held tremendous power rivaling a canon’s shot.Amazingly, Dick braced through them all. The melee switched locations every few seconds instead of remaining static. The two fighters’ shifting footwork meant they zipped through the ocean within a 5km radius in a t
The fresh blood immediately became diluted in the seawater. The stench of a master fighter’s blood was much stronger than an ordinary person’s. The coppery stench of the gulp of fresh blood that Dick spat out was equal to half the amount of blood in an ordinary person’s body. On the other hand, the stench of blood in the sea would draw sharks in in a heartbeat. Zayn’s kick was not gentle in the least. Dick’s enormous body slammed into the seawater akin to a cannonball and caused a large splash, and the resulting intense impact damaged his internal organs severely. The drag of water was very strong especially when Dick was traveling at such a high speed. It was no different from slamming onto the ground. One should know that the bullet of a rifle could only travel a meter in water before it lost its lethality. It was fortunate that they were two kilometers away from the cruise. Other than the four master fighters with extremely sharp vision, the rest of the people did not manage t
“How did the sharks get here? Dammit, Zayn is still in the sea! He’s in danger.”“Pull Mr. Larson up immediately. The lethality of these sharks is no joke!”“Mr. Larson, the sharks are here. It’s better for you to come up now!”Everyone shifted their gaze to Zayn. They were shouting for him to come up quickly while the crew tossed a lifeboat to Zayn. However, Zayn did not choose to come up. Instead, he did something that sent a shiver down everyone’s spines. He cracked a joyous smile, then soon afterward, he dove straight into the sea. Not only had he not swam away, but on the contrary, he swam right for the sharks rapidly!He wanted to attack the school of sharks!Oh God…The people on the deck were dumbstruck with bewilderment. They were completely petrified while Dick was terrified by the sight of Zayn as well. Zayn must have lost his mind for real. As the instructor of the Wolf’s Fang squad, Dick would not have had the courage to do something as wild as this even when he wa
Noticing their reaction, Zayn smiled though he did not feel too much emotion in his heart. He was not showing off. On the contrary, he was already used to being in a situation like this. After engaging in two ferocious fights consecutively earlier, he was feeling tired in spite of his superhuman fitness level. He said to Dick, “Instructor Cheney, it was a draw for our spar earlier, and both of us are equally matched. I don’t think that it’s necessary for us to continue to fight anymore. What do you think?”Dick was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Zayn to make a remark that showed him so much respect. The rest of the four master fighters assumed strange expressions on their faces similarly. While the others could not see the fight earlier, they saw it clearly with their eyes and knew that Dick was utterly no match for Zayn. Dick had been overpowered by Zayn and even got injured rather severely toward the end. By the time Dick reacted to the situation, he had a look of gra
Zayn had rejected him. Ray furrowed his eyebrows. At the very least, he was the patriarch of the Young family. He lowered himself so much to show respect earlier, yet Zayn still rejected him, which was a little disrespectful.However, he had no choice but to acknowledge that Zayn did have the right not to show respect to him. Moreover, Zayn rejected him in such a tactful manner that he had no reason to refute him at all. Lindsay panicked. She immediately said, “Sir, I promise that I won’t disappoint you and I will certainly do my best to train hard!”Zayn shook his head in determination. “I’m sorry, but I’m not planning on accepting an apprentice now.”Lindsay could see that Zayn was not joking but was serious. She felt extremely dejected in her heart because she really wanted to be Zayn’s apprentice badly to the extent that her yearning had already turned into an obsession. It was fortunate that she was a strong person. She pulled herself together immediately and said, “So, w
