“””
Lightning bolt after lightning bolt split the sky, a total of nine streaks that sliced Su He from the water’s surface to the bottom, and then back to the water’s surface again.
The fish and shrimp around him died in droves as Su He bobbed between the waves.
Feng Yaya and the Camel were dumbstruck.
Ignoring Feng Yaya’s screams, the Camel carried her as it hopped and leaped to safety, away from the danger.
Only when the lightning ceased and the dark clouds began to scatter did it cautiously approach once more.
“Big Turtle!” Feng Yaya sprang up, shooting off the Camel’s back like a cannonball and crashing onto Su He’s back.
A phantom mountain flickered across the Turtle Shell, repelling Feng Yaya into the air.
Su He quickly came to his senses, hastily paddled through the water, and caught the little one with a steady grip.
Feng Yaya, not the slightest bit scared, started jumping on his shell and laughing heartily.
Su He shook his somewhat dazed head; having slept for too long, it took him a moment to catch up.
Awakening from hibernation to a torrential downpour was a good omen for a pure Water Type Divine God Beast.
But,—why was I struck by lightning?
Did I do something to anger the heavens?
“Big Turtle!” Feng Yaya rolled around on his shell.
The Big Turtle didn’t shrink at all!
I thought it would keep getting smaller.
“Hmm~” Su He responded softly.
Seeing Feng Yaya as soon as he opened his eyes stirred an inexplicable emotion in him, especially on such a rainy day.
“Big Turtle!” Feng Yaya suddenly jumped up, hugging his Turtle head and poking at the two bulges on top, which seemed to be growing horns.
“Big Turtle is growing a Dragon Head!
Uncle Xia said you’d gain a new Divine Skill when you awaken.
What Divine Skills did you master?
Can you fly?
If you can fly, take Ya Ya with you!
Ya Ya is terrified of flying, but I won’t be scared with Big Turtle’s broad back to hold on to!”
Su He let out two proud cries.
I can’t fly, but I can take a hit now!
“Eh?” Feng Yaya’s eyes lit up, and she leapt up, her small fist crashing down on Su He’s Turtle Shell.
Boom~
The sound echoed like a gong, and a mountainous phantom shimmered on Su He’s Shell, preventing Feng Yaya from shattering the illusion and damaging the shell.
Su He was horrified.
Ancestors!
Great Ancestors!
Your little fist could shatter half an island; weren’t you afraid of killing me with one punch?!
Feng Yaya’s eyes gleamed as she beheld the mountain phantom dancing on the Turtle Shell.
She recognized that mountain; it was the Turtle Mountain that belonged to the Big Turtle, which had melted away during the winter.
“Big Turtle, what is this?”
After the initial shock, Su He proudly raised his Dragon Head.
This was the most crucial ability he had acquired during his hibernation, one of the Innate Divine Skills of the Dragon Turtle: Bearing Mountain!
Innate Divine Skills are different from an inheritance.
To make an analogy, an inheritance is like the knowledge passed down by teachers through generations.
Innate Divine Skills are like instincts—eating, drinking, urinating…
The Dragon Turtle’s innate defensive power is astonishing, but such defense doesn’t come without a cost.
The Dragon Turtle can absorb various external forces and materials, forming an External Appearance.
This External Appearance acts like an all-encompassing suit of Armor.
The material absorbed dictates the form of the External Appearance.
For instance, if a Dragon Turtle absorbs virtue from human deeds or heavenly deeds, the resultant External Appearance could be a Stele or a part of a city.
If a Dragon Turtle like Su He directly transforms Magical Treasures or mountains into an External Appearance, the form is mainly that of a mountain.
If the External Appearance remains unbroken, the Dragon Turtle remains unharmed.
Even if you attack the Dragon Turtle’s eyes or mouth, the damage first affects the External Appearance—if the External Appearance breaks, there’s still the Turtle Shell and Scale Armor, which have even more astounding defensive power!
Each Dragon Turtle, when first Bearing Mountain to form an External Appearance, differs in the materials they absorb.
Thus, in addition to defense, the additional abilities of the External Appearance are also unique.
For example, Su He absorbed the Turtle Mountain from before, which had a cave dwelling space.
Su He’s External Appearance can thus store things, with about a one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) radius space.
To expand it further would require gradual improvement over time.
“””
This is not the main thing, the most important is that Su Huanian’s Immortal Sword was planted on Turtle Mountain.
Su He instinctively licked the Immortal Sword, although he couldn’t absorb it due to the superior quality of the sword.
But the Immortal Sword was imbued with Su Huanian’s Sword Qi.
That Sword Qi was specifically stored for Su He and did not reject him.
Over one winter, Su He licked up a trace of Su Huanian’s Sword Qi.
It was only a bit, not very powerful, but its nature was completely different now.
Su He’s Appearance of Bearing Mountain would strike back!
You thought you were hitting a shrinking turtle, but the turtle shell would stab you with a sword out of the blue!
And Su He’s favorite Shell Hammer found its place in battle.
You thought you were colliding head-on with a huge turtle shell?
Actually, it’s a sword!
If Su He were to learn swordplay in the future, he could even incorporate Sword Qi and Sword Intent into the Appearance of Bearing Mountain, with its power growing as Su He’s Boundary Status increased.
Su He was very satisfied with both additional abilities.
Then there were his scales; the scales didn’t have Innate Divine God Power—or perhaps Su He’s bloodline was insufficient and he had not yet awakened.
But they did have some interesting little abilities.
For example: breathing!
Later in hibernation, absorbing Spiritual Energy was not just through mouth and nose breathing, but each scale actively absorbed Spiritual Power as if the whole body was breathing.
Moreover, he could sense the flow of water through his scales, which seemed to bring the water to life, always ready to obey commands.
What made Su He most delighted was the change in his oral cavity.
He opened his mouth to show off to Feng Yaya, “Ahh~”
Look!
I have grown a tongue.
It was not the soft, weak, old, and slow tongue he once had, but a tongue like that of a dragon, sword-like and vigorous.
Not only could he better savor the deliciousness of food, but he had also awakened another Divine Skill: Divine God Might!
When he roared using Spiritual Power, it naturally carried a soul-shocking force.
It could not only make all creatures submit—those whose Tao Cultivation was inferior to his own.
It could also serve directly as an attack, but this couldn’t be demonstrated at will.
Su He still didn’t have good control over it.
When he used Divine God Might, it was an area of effect damage, not distinguishing between friend and foe.
Except for Su He himself, all who heard the Divine God Might were attacked.
He would have to practice and master this slowly.
Just like how people have to learn to eat.
Feng Yaya sat on the turtle shell, kicking her little feet, her face full of smiles.
She was very happy, truly happy.
But while she was happily being happy, suddenly she couldn’t be happy anymore.
She jumped up, her face panicked, and shouted, “Big Turtle, Big Turtle, this is bad, I skipped class!”
South Garden had been in session for a long time.
“Let’s go, let’s hurry.
If my mother finds out I skipped class, she’ll definitely punish me!”
Su He let out a proud cry.
Although it was not very honorable, he felt even happier.
With a light flick of his four paws, the waves swiftly carried him towards Elephant Water.
After a winter’s hibernation, his Water Control Divine God Power had become entirely different from before.
Quick as lightning, his speed was lightning-fast.
Crossing Elephant Water and onto the shore, the waves beneath him did not recede.
Su He treaded waves on land, rolling waves rushing past, leaving the ground only slightly damp.
A turtle and a human howling, filled with joy.
In the time it took to burn a stick of incense, they had covered more than three hundred miles and rushed into South Garden.
Above Tinghai Lake, the Camel blinked its large eyes, looking around and at itself, its face full of confusion.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What did I just do?
Oh, I came with Feng Yaya to find a friend…
Angry (ノ｀ー´)ノ┻━┻
What friend?!
I, Sturdy Master, never had such a thing!
