Million Times Talent

Chapter 58: The Octopus lord

The moon hung like a silver plate, high in the middle of the sky. The radiant moonlight spilled onto the surface of the lake.

On the western side of Moonlit Lake, a seemingly ordinary young man in blue clothes, concealing his aura, was hiding on a large boulder.

This young man was none other than Chu Feng, who had just completed the cultivation of the "Breath Concealing Technique."

He had silently infiltrated the edge of Moonlit Lake at night, waiting for seven or eight hours. It was now four in the morning, but he hadn't even spotted the shadow of the Moon Void Lotus.

"Could it be that, scared by last night's events, it's hiding in the void and won't come out?" Chu Feng felt extremely anxious.

If it didn't appear before daybreak, it would be over.

And when he carefully calculated, he realized he had been in the Void Mountain Range for twenty-nine days. Unknowingly, it was the day of the college entrance examination. He had to rush back to participate in the exam.

Initially, he thought participating in the college entrance exam was unnecessary. After all, he was already a formidable warrior, and taking the exam felt like "pulling down one's pants to fart" — an unnecessary act.

However, through the conversation with Ye Xuan, he learned that participating in the college entrance exam was still crucial.

As the holy land for the propagation of human cultivation, the Holy Martial Academy lived up to its reputation.

...

At the bottom of Moonlit Lake, within a magnificent cave, the Night Pearl illuminated the entire cavern, making it as bright as day.

In the center of the cave, a terrifying monster dominated. Its body stretched to about seventy to eighty meters, but what was even more frightening were the numerous grotesque tentacles on its body, each measuring forty to fifty meters, with a huge sucker at the end, capable of sucking any creature into a desiccated husk.

If all these tentacles were to move, it would be like a demonic dance, and even a ship weighing thousands of tons would be entangled and overturned in the deep sea.

It was none other than the third son of the ruler of Moonlit Lake, a terrifying cephalopod at the pinnacle of the later stage of the Beast Lord realm.

Below it lay a gigantic golden crocodile, far more powerful than the one Chu Feng had killed before.

There were also more than ten terrifying beasts with formidable auras, such as the Sky Blue Sea King Snake and the Scarlet Scale Abyssal Turtle.

The golden crocodile reported in the language of beasts, "Your Royal Highness, the human woman has escaped. We searched the inner domain and found nothing. We've also dispatched a large number of personnel to the location where the lotus treasure appeared. As long as the treasure reappears, we will undoubtedly detect it immediately."

Ye Xuan chose the eastern part of Moonlit Lake, the same place where her ancestor had obtained the Moon Void Lotus. On the other hand, Chu Feng feared that this area would be closely monitored by the demonic race, so he chose the western side. With the Star Soil, as long as the Moon Void Lotus appeared, it would definitely be attracted by this peculiar soil.

"Waste! All of you are useless! She managed to escape after being poisoned by this Lord?!" The octopus-like monster's tentacle, like a colossal divine pillar, churned the heavens and the earth, causing countless waves. The lake floor seemed to twist, with a deafening rumble, and the light flickered, appearing as if the end of the world had come.

The tentacles instantly entwined around the golden crocodile, and the suckers firmly attached as if they had taken root. A sudden suction force followed.

The golden crocodile howled in agony, but it couldn't resist at all.

In a moment, it seemed as if the entire crocodile had its vital energy and blood sucked out. It turned into a desiccated corpse.

The other monstrous beasts revealed expressions of fear, all trembling and not daring to make a sound.

After belching, the octopus-like monster, as if infinitely satisfied, felt its injuries quickly healing.

Then it spoke with dignity, "Lead the entire palace guards to conduct a thorough search within the entire inner domain of Moonlit Lake. In addition, Moonlit Lake should be patrolled extensively. I must obtain that treasure when it appears."

The small octopus had a vague feeling that if it obtained the Moon Void Lotus, it could undergo a bloodline transformation, advancing to the fourth rank (equivalent to the eighth stage of the human Eight Extremities realm) of a demonic beast, breaking through the bottleneck.

Yesterday night, it received a report from the Darkwhisper Earth Rat, stating that a human woman had appeared at the edge of Moonlit Lake.
