Chapter 738: The Mermaid’s Tear
Things were fine on the Scattered Stars Island’s side, although Old Jiang had been to the sea despite all the restrictions. Xue Shenqi simply initiated Defcon 1. to ensure that the Scattered Stars Island could fight a war anytime.
Of course, the preparation was against the sea demons, but everybody knew that the sea demons couldn’t have possibly moved the Sea Demon Mountain away.
Xue Shenqi even suspected that a venerable-level expert had arrived. However, it was still confounding as to why the expert would move the Sea Demon Mountain away.
The sea demons, on the other hand, were more panicked than the human beings.
The sea demons on the territories that were near the Scattered Stars Island hid themselves the moment they learned the news.
They had to hide!
The whole Sea Demon Mountain was razed to the ground overnight. Sixteen sea demons who were as strong as Hidden Fishers died. A powerful Sea Spirit above level sixty died too. Countless more lower-level sea demons died too. All the other sea demons were frightened.
Millions of kilometers from the Scattered Stars Island, there was an enormous cylindrical building where many powerful sea demons were holding a meeting.
The meeting had been going on for three days.
Inside the building, some people were riding enormous war seahorses, some were riding giant green-and-red lobsters, and some were standing on jellyfish that were discharging electricity. They argued vehemently.
A Half-Merman roared, “It must be the work of a human expert! We can’t just ignore it! We should ask the capital to send out top experts and fight them!”
Someone was more conservative. “Human being? Which human being can relocate the Sea Demon Mountain? If they had really taken action, would they have stopped after destroying that mountain? They could’ve eliminated us too.”
“If it wasn’t a human being, then who could it have been?”
“I don’t think we should do anything. If human beings really did that, we should retreat for now to avoid the danger and wait to see their further movements. If they keep pressing the attack, the capital will definitely react.”
“Hoooooo!”
“All of you, shut up!”
Someone who rode a huge two-headed shark announced, “Let’s stop the war against human beings for now. The destruction of the Sea Demon Mountain isn’t an intolerable loss, but it’s a huge strike on our morale. Let’s take a rest for now.”
“My lord!”
“Shut up.”
Someone else wanted to say something, but the commander simply glared at him. “We won’t completely lay low. Let’s see if we can create some opportunities for us to attack human beings later.”
…
While human beings and sea demons each made their own plans, two million kilometers away from the Scattered Stars Island, the Sea Demon Mountain was lying quietly in a trench.
No creatures dared to come within three thousand kilometers of the Sea Demon Mountain. The powerful vibe that was left in this place had scared them away.
The demonic Qi barrier in the mountain had already been broken when Chun Huangdian moved the mountain away.
At this moment, a bunch of broken body parts were lying in the Spirit Awakening Fluid.
The body parts weren’t just Han Fei’s, but also Little Fatty’s.
That was Han Fei’s last resort.
Little Fatty had been level-39 earlier. After swallowing abundant amounts of Spirit Awakening Fluid, it reached level-40 in no time.
Han Fei had wagered on the possibility that a level-40 Nine Death Soul Splitting Octopus could save his life by reviving him with his blood.
Judging from Chun Huangdian’s att.i.tude towards Xia Xiaochan, she might be faced with great enemies, but he would protect him. That was good enough.
After ensuring that Xia Xiaochan would be fine, Han Fei certainly would not mess with his own life.
So, he really tried his best in the final battle.
All the two hundred Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers were destroyed when he tried to make Chun Huangdian think that he was not holding back at all.
Nevertheless, Han Fei never really witnessed Little Fatty’s breakthrough, and he wasn’t sure whether or not Little Fatty could revive someone with its blood after the breakthrough. He could only take the risk.
It seemed that Han Fei had won the gamble.
At this moment, Han Fei’s flesh and bones gathered from where they were scattered.
There was no telling whether his body parts would’ve joined each other anyway, or it was due to the Nine Death Soul Splitting Octopus’s power.
Anyway, it was a good thing that his body was fixing itself.
Not just Han Fei, Little Fatty was recovering too. However, its body was larger than Han Fei’s, and it had merely repaired one claw.
After seven days in a row, the pressure left by Chun Huangdian became thiner and thiner under the was.h.i.+ng of the seawater. Some creatures already came within a three-thousand-kilometer radius. The strongest of them were coming up to two thousand kilometers.
As for Han Fei, his body had been fully regathered, but he didn’t wake up.
Little Fatty’s body was only half recovered, but it was already back to life. To be more precise, five of its brains had been revived, and the other four were still dead.
Only one of its hearts was still alive. Its second heart was being rescued, and its third heart was still in pieces.
The octopus was definitely terrifying as a weird creature that had nine brains.
Half a month pa.s.sed.
When a crab entered the cave, it was tied up by a tentacle and sucked up until it became dry.
Han Fei was still motionless.
In the middle of nothingness, a vine extended from the darkness like a beam of light. Han Fei’s consciousness returned the moment the vine showed up.
A lot of pictures flashed in Han Fei’s head.
“Cough…”
Han Fei suddenly opened his eyes and sat straight.
What he saw first was the remains of a lot of creatures, as well as Little Fatty which was absorbing a lobster with its sucking discs.
Seeing that Han Fei had stood up, Little Fatty looked at him and asked, “You’re awake?”
Han Fei seemed not entirely pacified yet. He looked at Little Fatty in shock. “I’ve been revived?”
Information popped up in Han Fei’s eyes.
Nine Death Soul Splitting Octopus
This is a special beast from the primordial age that has the divine beast bloodline. It can absorb spiritual energy and vitality with its sucking disks. Its spiritual power is very high and can ignore all the spiritual attacks ten levels above itself. It can also deflect ninety percent of the physical attacks that come at it. It boasts powerful self-recovery abilities.

Limb Regeneration, Blood Rebirth
The host can share Blood Rebirth with the Nine Death Soul Splitting Octopus. It can be used nine times in a lifetime. Seven times remaining.
Han Fei took a deep breath, “How long have I been dead?”
Little Fatty: “…”
He was probably the first one to ever ask that question. He asked so casually as if he were asking how long he had slept…
Little Fatty said, “This is the 21st day after I woke up.”
Han Fei narrowed his eyes. “That’s good, that’s good. Chun Huangdian must be far away with Xia Xiaochan right now.”
Han Fei felt lucky that Little Fatty’s Blood Rebirth wasn’t initiated the moment he died, or he probably would’ve been killed twice.
However, Han Fei’s heart became heavy soon.
Xia Xiaochan had been taken away. How was he going to explain that? Could he claim that Xia Xiaochan was taken away by a terrifying expert named Chun Huangdian, who didn’t kill him but let him walk away?
Han Fei found it rather ridiculous. For the first time in his life, he realized how strong a person could be!
As it turned out, a mountain could be moved away easily.
As it turned out, he wasn’t really a Heavenly Talent at all.
Han Fei wasn’t an idiot. When he fought Chun Huangdian, he vividly sensed that Chun Huangdian had merely used the power of an intermediate Hanging Fisher. No more, no less.
However, after he performed all the moves and techniques he was so proud of, he was merely rated as a barely-qualified Heavenly Talent by Chun Huangdian.
Han Fei didn’t complain.
It wasn’t easy at all for him to survive the battle.
It was terrible that Xia Xiaochan was taken away, but it might be lucky for her too, because other experts might be looking for or even hunting her after the sounds of the cicada.
Judging from Chun Huangdian’s tone, it seemed that killing him was necessary.
What was the man afraid of? That someone else might learn about Xia Xiaochan from him?
Twenty days, or maybe a month, had pa.s.sed already.
n.o.body was here yet, but Han Fei sensed that they would come sooner or later.
What should he do if they did come? If they were all as strong as Chun Huangdian, he couldn’t possibly withstand them even with the entire Thug Academy.
So, Han Fei had to prioritize: hide himself well and improve his strength.
While Han Fei was considering, he suddenly saw something that was glittering. He turned his head, only to find that it was a bright blue drop of water.
A string of data appeared in his eyes.
The Mermaid’s Tear
This is the mermaid’s tear when she is extremely sorrowful and yearning. It contains the will of resurrection in desperation, and it may bring forth infinite vitality.
Eternal love cannot be destroyed.
Han Fei’s heart became heavy when he saw the tear. He was caught in unknown grief.
“Heh! Chun Huangdian…”
