Cave Refuge

Although everyone in the cafeteria was watching, Leo King and Zane King still ate so much food, but the other people on the ship still found the sudden change in the two men somewhat unbelievable.

To keep the rest of the people on the ship from speculating wildly, Leo King openly announced the reason for their increased food consumption. When the others heard that Leo King and Zane King had received Martial Path Cultivation Techniques from Dong Tianyu and had started to attempt Martial Path Cultivation, a few crafty thoughts immediately sprang up in everyone's mind.

Since the matter had been made public, just by looking at the expressions of others in attendance, Leo King guessed their thoughts and immediately spoke out loud to everyone,

"I and Zane King are currently verifying the authenticity of the newly acquired Martial Path Techniques, and what's more, Dong Tianyu also said that cultivating these Martial Path Techniques actually comes with side effects.

You've seen the side effect now, our appetites have become extremely large after cultivation, and although our ship's supplies are very ample, they absolutely won't be enough if the entire crew begins to cultivate.

So, what's most important now is to first test out how much food each person needs to consume in the early stages of cultivation, and then based on this rate of consumption, specifically arrange the order of cultivation."

Hearing what Leo King said, those still in the cafeteria, though they still harbored some little schemes, at least did not voice any dissent at this time.

Dong Tianyu continued to come over for lectures every evening, but with Leo King revealing the news of Martial Path Cultivation in the cafeteria, whenever Dong Tianyu came over, he could feel many people hiding in the corners and observing him quietly.

Even some rather bold crew members tried to stop Dong Tianyu on his way back after the lectures.

Although they were all 'rabbits,' Dong Tianyu certainly did not give those people face. Those waiting to intercept him on his way back hadn't even gotten close when Dong Tianyu directly intimidated them with his Divine Soul, causing them to fall into dizziness. By the time they came to their senses, Dong Tianyu had long since left the area.

The ability Dong Tianyu used to intimidate those people wasn't any special Technique, it was simply a spiritual oppression by utilizing spiritual power, which worked wonders on ordinary people whose spiritual power was far lower than his own, but had almost no effect on enemies whose level of spiritual power was not much different from his own.

Perhaps it was due to the ample food supply or maybe because the concentration of Spirit Energy in the world had far exceeded that when Dong Tianyu first began his Cultivation, thus Leo King and Zane King had successfully entered the beginner stage of the Body Tempering Realm in just less than half a month.

After some time, once it was confirmed that Zane King had entered the beginner stage of the Body Tempering Realm and still exhibited no abnormal reactions, Dong Tianyu was certain that the Awakened Potion did not conflict with the Cultivation Techniques.

Now that the experiment had yielded results, Dong Tianyu no longer stayed around. He bid farewell to Leo King and Zane King, and amidst Leo King's reluctant farewell, Dong Tianyu left directly via Sword Control.

Since Dong Tianyu had encountered lightning strikes within the clouds during his arrival, he did not fly as high when sailing back this time, keeping to a low altitude of only about two hundred meters above the water surface.

The return journey was not exactly smooth sailing. Perhaps due to the lower flying altitude, Dong Tianyu not only saw many Mysterious Ships attacking ordinary vessels, but also witnessed many ships being attacked by Water Elementals.

Compared to the powerful Thunder Element that Dong Tianyu encountered in the clouds, Dong Tianyu seemed to have never come across any particularly strong Water Elementals attacking the ships on the water with such frequency.

Along the way, Dong Tianyu encountered so many attacks by Water Elementals on vessels that those boarding the decks seemed to have an endless number.

Although any slightly trained ordinary person with a suitable weapon could easily defeat a Water Elemental, the vast majority of ships attacked by Water Elementals, unless they accelerated away from the spot immediately, would end up in failure without exception if they stayed put, no matter how strong their resistance was.

Although it seemed that simply steering the ship away from the spot would allow them to escape the battlefield when facing those Water Elemental attacks, many ships had likely already run through most of their fuel by now.

At this time, although there might still be some fuel left in the tanks of many ships, those vessels spent the majority of their time drifting with the current. After all, finding a place to refuel ordinary ships now, though not completely impossible, was extremely rare and hard to come by.

This brings us to mention the Companion Spiritual Treasures obtained after using the Black Devil Core. Whether it was the initial Raft Form of the Companion Spiritual Treasure when first received or after upgrading when the Companion Spiritual Treasure evolved into various types of hulls.

But one thing that did not change was that even though the Companion Spiritual Treasure might sail slowly on the sea, it never needed any fuel. It only required a bit of mental focus to control its sailing to obtain a ship akin to a perpetual motion machine.
