Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

In the Sea God Hall, the Mermaid Princess received Li Wei and Saint Xi with the same hospitality the Merfolk Race reserved for honored guests and foreign emissaries.

Li Wei and Saint Xi tasted the unique delicacies of the underwater world and the Merfolk Race.

The hosts and guests were all in high spirits.

Although the atmosphere at the banquet was lively and festive, Li Wei's mind remained fixed on the purpose of his trip.

As soon as the banquet concluded, Li Wei immediately found the Mermaid Princess, wanting to see the Saint Dragon King.

This time, the Mermaid Princess did not refuse.

"Since you are both so eager to see the great Saint Dragon King, please follow me."

With a flick of her tail, the Mermaid Princess swam out of the Sea God Hall.

Li Wei and Saint Xi were enveloped in the Mermaid Princess's water-repelling bubbles. Walking through the seawater-filled Divine Hall felt no different than walking on land, completely unaffected.

The two of them hurried to follow her.

The Mermaid Princess led Li Wei and Saint Xi deep beneath Sea Abyss City.

Here, there was a massive, natural underwater cavern.

Li Wei noticed that as they drew closer, the presence of other Merfolk dwindled until there were none to be seen.

This area was clearly a forbidden zone, even for the Merfolk Race.

The Mermaid Princess swam to the entrance of the cavern and waited for Li Wei and Saint Xi.

Li Wei landed before the Mermaid Princess and gazed at the cave entrance. 'Is the Saint Dragon King in there?'

The Mermaid Princess said, "The situation below is somewhat special. It is part of Sea Abyss City, yet it is not. You may encounter danger."

Li Wei nodded. "Understood."

Saint Xi nodded as well.

Seeing this, the Mermaid Princess said, "We're going in."

She turned and swam into the cave.

Li Wei hurried after her.

As he passed through the entrance, Li Wei felt as if he had crossed through a spatial membrane.

The next moment, he was astonished to find he could breathe air.

The undersea cavern was actually a hollow cavity, filled with air.

Having lost the buoyancy of the seawater, Li Wei began to fall.

A current of water drifted to Li Wei's side, wrapping around his waist and holding him suspended in mid-air.

Li Wei turned his head and saw the Mermaid Princess, who was wreathed in several ribbons of seawater that allowed her to fly through the air.

WHOOSH!

Saint Xi came through the entrance as well.

Once they got their bearings, they were able to fly on their own.

They no longer needed the Mermaid Princess's help.

Li Wei looked down into the immense undersea cavern before him.

Below was a pitch-black darkness, making it impossible to see what lay within.

The Mermaid Princess flew ahead and said, "Please follow me. Be careful on the path ahead; you may encounter danger."

Li Wei nodded. "Right. I'll be careful."

Led by the Mermaid Princess, Li Wei and Saint Xi flew toward the depths of the undersea cavern.

After descending for some time, Li Wei saw that the bottom of the cavern was a body of water.

The moment his Spiritual Perception touched the water's surface, it was swallowed whole.

His Spiritual Power couldn't sense what was beneath the water.

The occasional ripples and waves on the surface allowed Li Wei to feel the terrifying Power contained within the sea.

This mysterious ocean concealed a great terror.

Li Wei wondered, 'Is the danger the Mermaid Princess mentioned this Underground Sea below?'

'As long as I don't get too close, I should be fine, right?'

Li Wei cautiously followed the Mermaid Princess. After a long while without encountering any danger, he began to relax slightly.

"We're almost there," the Mermaid Princess said.

Hearing this, Li Wei looked up and focused his gaze.

A small point of light was visible in the darkness ahead.

'Is that our destination?'

Just as Li Wei was staring into the distance, the Mermaid Princess suddenly cried out, "Watch out below!"

Li Wei instinctively glanced down.

The surface of the sea below was rising.

A Sea Beast with a cavernous maw burst from the water, lunging at Li Wei.

Li Wei shot upward, Casting an attack at the same time.

Time was short; he couldn't perform a complex spell.

He could only use the Fireball Skill he was best at.

However, this was a Fireball Skill infused with [Element Fusion].

Fusion Fireball Technique!

The Fireball flew into the Sea Beast's mouth.

The Sea Beast seemed to sense the danger as well.

A turbulent jet of water erupted from its mouth.

BOOM!

The pillar of water and the Fireball collided, triggering an explosion.

The light from the blast scattered the surrounding darkness.

The shockwave accelerated Li Wei's ascent, carrying him out of the Sea Beast's attack range.

Its upward momentum broken, the Sea Beast fell back into the sea.

By the light of the explosion, Li Wei saw a figure on the massive Sea Beast's back.

Looking closely, he saw it wasn't human, but a six-armed female Naga with a humanoid upper body.

The Naga was riding on the Sea Beast's back, controlling it to attack him.

A Sea Beast Sacrifice.

Li Wei instantly realized the enemy's identity.

'But why would the Naga Race be here?'

'Isn't this place inside Sea Abyss City?'

Li Wei suddenly recalled what the Mermaid Princess had said: part of the underground cavern belonged to Sea Abyss City, and part did not.

He looked down at the churning water below.

'Could she have been referring to the area beneath the water's surface?'

The Mermaid Princess flew over and said, "Hurry, this place connects to the Sea Abyss! Powerful members of the Naga Race will soon arrive through the Underground Sea."

Li Wei's expression was one of surprise, but then came sudden understanding.

'No wonder.'

'So that's where Sea Abyss City gets its name.'

Sea Abyss City was actually situated directly above an exit from the Sea Abyss.

From the looks of it, the Merfolk Race was suppressing the Naga Race, preventing them from leaving the Sea Abyss through this exit.

In another direction, directly above the Sea Abyss, one of humanity's top Mage Towers—the Space Tower—guarded another exit.

The Naga Race was unable to leave the Sea Abyss, all thanks to Sea Abyss City and the Space Tower suppressing and sealing its entrances.
