King Aum made a few quick adjustments and charged at Lin Chen again.
He wanted to restore his dignity. His prestige among the people had dropped, and that made it difficult for him to rally support for war.
Lin Chen circulated the Body-Mind Art, and his figure suddenly expanded, growing to more than ten meters tall. Although his upper clothes burst apart this time, his pants did not explode.
He had found a special supplier that customized "Hulk pants" for superhuman use.
However, his abdominal muscles were still fully exposed.
A wave of screams erupted from the stands. Mermaids—women of the Sea Clan—cried out in excitement.
"Those abs—I'm in love!"
"Sir, how am I supposed to sleep tonight?!"
King Aum looked down at himself and grew furious. "What the hell? I'm down to just a pair of four-corner shorts—why didn't I hear anyone screaming for me?!"
"Kill!" he roared as he rushed toward Lin Chen. "A big body moves slowly in water—I'll kill you!"
Lin Chen's enormous palm swept out, grabbed King Aum, smashed him against the stone floor, then lifted his giant foot and stomped down.
Crack, crack, crack!
King Aum had no ability to resist at all. Under Lin Chen's trampling, several of his ribs broke, and he spat out blood.
Lin Chen originally intended to kill him, but then reconsidered. Killing him might provoke the Sea Clan's rage and deepen their hatred toward the people of the land.
Without King Aum, there could be a King Bluewood or King Redwood next.
"Forget it. I'll keep you alive for now. When Aquaman takes the throne, I'll deal with you then."
The arena fell silent. The Sea Clan had not expected their acknowledged powerhouse—the King of Atlantis—to be beaten so completely.
The more imposing he had seemed while humiliating Aquaman earlier, the more humiliating this looked now.
Many people instantly lost confidence in attacking the land. If there were more people like this Daoist, they would not be able to drive them away at all.
Lin Chen heard their murmurs and used his spiritual power to project his voice loudly, "There may not be many people like me on land, but there are still a few."
His voice echoed throughout the arena.
"We all live on the same Earth. There's no need to fight to the death. Can't you move to land and live there? Don't be used by people with ulterior motives. Live well, watch dramas, watch videos—wouldn't that be nice?"
Many Atlanteans nodded unconsciously, feeling that Lin Chen made sense.
They had been dazzled by King Aum's grand cause before. Now, seeing that the land was not so easy to conquer, they began to think more calmly.
King Aum grew anxious and wanted to say something to salvage the situation, but Lin Chen kicked him unconscious.
Lin Chen's body shrank back down, and he swam toward Mera.
Mera's eyes shone. She said to her father, "Father, what do you think? Your son-in-law fights well, doesn't he?"
"Not only can he fight, he's also good with words. He's shaken people's hearts," King Nereus murmured. "His strength is excellent. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
"Mera…"
Lin Chen swam over. "Alright, old man, we should leave first. See you later."
King Nereus suddenly felt that having such a son-in-law would not be bad at all.
"There are high-pressure water cannons on the city walls. If you leave rashly, you'll be attacked."
Lin Chen smiled. "Then those cannons will have to be able to lock onto us."
He wrapped an arm around Mera, grabbed Aquaman, opened a water path, and disappeared.
King Nereus silently gave a thumbs-up.
The three of them left Atlantis, followed the location marked on the map, and arrived in the Moroccan region of North Africa.
Mera pointed at the map. "Our destination is somewhere in the Western Sahara Desert."
Lin Chen nodded. "Then let's go ashore first and find a plane to hitch a ride."
He could have flown over with Mera, but with Aquaman there, they had to take a plane.
Fly that far while carrying a man? Impossible.
As they approached the beach, they heard a woman shouting for help.
"Help!"
"I've got cramps!"
The three looked over. A young girl with a hot figure seemed to be drowning.
Aquaman's eyes lit up. He had eaten enough "dog food" watching the two of them be affectionate along the way. This must be heaven's reward—sending him a girl!
He hadn't even seen her face yet, but that figure surpassed every girl he had ever seen.
With a splash, he rushed over, reaching out to wrap an arm around her waist.
Mera chuckled softly. "Master, do you regret being beaten to it by Arthur?"
Lin Chen shook his head and held her waist. "Having you is enough. Why bother with others?"
Mera was delighted, but then sighed. "Even though I know you're lying to me, I'm still happy."
The two looked toward Aquaman, just as they thought he was about to perform a heroic rescue.
The woman seemed to cramp severely. She kicked Aquaman away and, carried by inertia, slid toward Lin Chen instead.
Lin Chen caught her and realized that parts of the girl had been exposed.
He quickly swam up with Mera and laid the girl on the beach.
Her figure was extremely eye-catching—slender waist, ample curves, fair skin, delicate and pure facial features.
Even in a crowd, she would be the first person noticed.
Mera felt a little jealous. "Daoist, how can you just casually save such a beautiful girl?"
Lin Chen shrugged. "You saw it. I didn't move—she drifted over on her own."
"Hmph. What kind of luck is that?" Mera was speechless.
Lin Chen, however, had a different thought. He recognized the girl lying on the beach—or rather, he had known her before transmigrating.
"How did she get here? What identity does she have? She kicked Aquaman away with one strike—she's not weak at all. And she can drown? That's ridiculous."
Just then, the girl's eyelashes trembled.
Lin Chen circulated his mind-reading technique and listened to her inner thoughts.
"Oh, this handsome guy looks good, but his brain doesn't seem to work well."
"Just touched his abs—so firm!"
"I'm 'unconscious' here. Why isn't he giving me first aid? Artificial respiration, idiot!"
"Is he the one my mother said I should go undercover with?"
"Undercover?" Lin Chen was startled. "Who is this woman's mother?"
"So annoying, so annoying!" Aquaman grumbled as he came ashore. "Wasn't that girl sent to me?"
He was extremely depressed. He had rushed to rescue her, only to be kicked away, and now she had been saved by the Daoist instead.
Seeing the girl lying there, his eyes lit up. "Master, she's fainted. She needs first aid—artificial respiration!"
Lin Chen shook his head. "She seems to have a large lung capacity. Probably not necessary."
The girl's thoughts continued.
"I thought that big guy was dumb. How is this handsome guy even dumber?!"
"Can't you see I'm a beauty?"
"Will it kill you to give me mouth-to-mouth?!"
"Good body and large lung capacity—does that even make sense?!"
Aquaman clapped his hands. "Fine, I'll sacrifice my first kiss to save this girl. I'm only saving a life—you two don't overthink it!"
Lin Chen was speechless. We didn't say anything. You're the one overthinking.
Mera suddenly said, "I know magic. Why don't I do it?"
Aquaman shouted, "So troublesome! How simple it would be if I just did it!"
The girl was in complete mental chaos.
"Idiot man, the police are coming!"
"Get lost!"
Seeing Aquaman getting closer, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, shoved him away, and sat up.
"Cough, cough." She coughed, though not a single drop of water came out.
She looked up at Lin Chen. "You saved me?"
Lin Chen had been thinking she looked striking before. The moment she opened her eyes, he was stunned.
Her eyes were extremely distinctive—deep blue, breathtaking, as if wind, clouds, the sea, and the entire sky were contained within them.
"Hmph, you're not even dazzled by Miss Me? What are you pretending for?" Lin Chen heard her inner voice again.
Lin Chen smiled. "Beauty, your eyes are very beautiful."
The girl looked proud. "A lot of people say that."
"Like a husky's eyes," Lin Chen added.
