Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

"what?!"

He Yongjin stared at the rapidly moving light spot on the detector with a tingling scalp, listening to the exclamations in the earphone.

"Reporting to the commander, an unidentified creature is approaching our fleet at a speed of nearly 130 nautical miles per hour, and the energy intensity is extremely high."

130 nautical miles per hour?! He Yongjin was stunned for a moment, then immediately gave an order: "Send a few reconnaissance planes to hover over the enemy's path and report the observations in a timely manner."

A number of reconnaissance planes immediately took off and approached the sea water that was continuously pouring towards Black Reef Island from all directions.

He Yongjin stared at the real-time picture without moving. As the reconnaissance plane got closer, the expression on his face became a little surprised and shocked.

"Sir, the creature moving at high speed in the sea water seems to be... a human?!"

The voice transmitted back from the communicator was filled with extreme fear, and even had a slight tremor.

He Yongjin did not respond, but just clenched his hands.

Qi Jingshan looked at him with a somewhat shattered outlook and said in a calm voice, "Yongjin, I think I know how the people on the island nation's fleet disappeared."

"One can cross a river with a reed, and a sea with one's body."

Qi Jingshan's eyes were filled with awe and envy, "This is a martial artist at the Grandmaster level."

"Only a Grandmaster can release his energy and walk in the sea water as if it were flat ground."

He Yongjin was dumbfounded, pointing at the observation screen in astonishment: "You mean, he swam here from Black Reef Island by himself and intercepted a Japanese cruiser?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Jingshan's old brows furrowed, "Yes, that doesn't make sense... Although the Grandmaster can release his strength, he can't do it to such an incredible degree."

"Unless he..."

Just as He Yongjin was about to ask more questions, he noticed that the screen of an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft went dark. He immediately said as if he was facing a powerful enemy: "Prepare for battle!"

The surging sea water suddenly stopped, and after a wave destroyed the reconnaissance plane, Jiang Ran dragged his tired body out of the sea, looking at the drones that were gathering with a stern expression.

Most of the Nine Tribulations Qi in his body had been consumed, and the power of the moonlight in the Moonlight Stone had also been basically exhausted. He had originally planned to return to Black Reef Island to rest for a while, but unexpectedly he was followed by the fleet's drones.

Jiang Ran silently looked at the fleet that was far more threatening than the island nation's fleet, and suddenly sighed, "Why are you forcing me so hard?"

Just as he was gathering strength to take action, the drones gathered around him seemed to have received an order, and after a brief pause, they all returned.

……

"and many more!"

Qi Jingshan grabbed He Yongjin's arm, his face full of panic: "Don't do it yet!"

"Mr. Qi?!" He Yongjin turned around in confusion, his tone heavy, "If we lose the initiative and he finds a way to get on the ship, then we will be the ones who are controlled by him!"

Qi Jingshan slapped him on the head, puffed his beard and glared, "You don't need to teach me the art of war. I must have a reason for asking you to stop."

"I know this person! He's Qingjun's classmate!"

"Ah?" He Yongjin was confused, and had an inexplicable illusion of being half asleep and half awake.

"Oh shit, just bring him up here, forget it... I'll go pick him up myself."

Qi Jingshan glanced at the startled He Yongjin with a displeased look, "Can you learn from your father? You are so stupid every day. It gives me a headache just looking at you."

He Yongjin touched his nose awkwardly and ordered through the communicator: "All drones return home and cancel the combat readiness status."

……

After Jiang Ran entered the lounge, he sat down on the stool and took a long while to calm the turbulent Nine Tribulations Energy in his body.

The Lone Goose Blade was too sharp. Even though it had not been truly activated just now, it was still a huge drain on the Nine Tribulations Qi.

However, only with the help of his natural talent could he easily pierce the hull and sink the three island country ships.

The Qinggang body was also slightly damaged by the sharp power of the Gengjin Tiancai, but compared to the Chijin body that was turned into a bloody mess at the first touch, it was already a remarkable improvement.

He was indeed exhausted, otherwise he would not have chosen to use the power of the water spirit to swim back from the sea.

Previously, he was blocked by the Seventh Fleet on the way back to Blackreef Island. He thought another war was about to break out, but unexpectedly he met an acquaintance.

Even though He Yongjin had been warned many times by Qi Jingshan, he still looked at the exhausted young man with a wary look on his face and did not relax because of his fatigue.

He was willing to believe and accept Qi Jingshan's words, but he still felt wary of Jiang Ran, even though he knew that such defense was useless.

After Jiang Ran sorted out the energy in his body, he opened his eyes and looked at Qi Jingshan, who had a curious look on his face.

"Qi Jingshan, how are you?"

He Yongjin raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man beside him with some concern, fearing that he would get furious and explode.

However, what surprised him was that Qi Jingshan, who was called by his full name in person by a young man, seemed to have changed his temperament and put on a very awkward smile.

"Master Jiang, I didn't expect to meet you on the sea."

Qi Jingshan responded first, then hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing in the waters of Black Reef Island?"

He Yongjin looked away silently, indicating that he was not gossipy.

"Chu Jichuan colluded with the Erdao Society and thought of a way to lure me to Black Reef Island." Jiang Ran did not hide anything and said concisely: "Since he thinks he has a sure win, I have no choice but to give him a chance."

Qi Jingshan went over these words in his mind, and then he came to his senses: "You mean, Chu Jichuan is dead?"

"Chu Jichuan?" He Yongjin couldn't help but interrupt, "Is he the eldest son of the Chu family who had a conflict with the Chu family and went to Nandu to make a name for himself?"

"Shut up." Qi Jingshan interrupted him unhappily, "You don't even know that Chu Jichuan tried to plot against Master Jiang and was forced to flee Nandu City, and you still have the nerve to ask questions here."

Although he spoke in a scolding tone, his words still revealed a lot of information to He Yongjin.

"Chu Jichuan is dead." Jiang Ran did not deny it, but as soon as the words came out, Qi Jingshan's thoughts quickly diverged.

"Was the island nation's fleet just now trying to cause trouble for you?" Qi Jingshan's tone did not contain any questioning. From what he had just seen, he had already roughly understood the truth.

He Yongjin was quite shocked. "Are the Japanese devils suffering from some serious illness? They made such a big scene just to cause trouble for Master Jiang?!"

Jiang Ran shook his head without comment and no longer responded to this question.

"Master Jiang, do you want to go back to Nandu with me?" Qi Jingshan had already connected all the events that happened near Black Reef Island, and was no longer concerned about the issue of the island nation's fleet.

After all, these ships are the same whether they come or not.

"I won't go back to Nandu for the time being." Jiang Ran glanced at him with a half-smile, "An Jin is actually not that difficult, and even Hua Jin is just so-so. Let's talk about it when I have some free time."

Qi Jingshan felt his thoughts were seen through, and he couldn't help but chuckle. After a moment, he suddenly seemed to remember something and raised his eyebrows at Jiang Ran with a sly look.

"Master Jiang, aren't you afraid that Qingjun will worry about you going out to sea alone?"

The weariness in Jiang Ran's eyes turned into confusion: "Shen Qingjun? Isn't she with Bai Feifei?"
