"Then little Yae should focus on her cultivation."
"Try to take human form as soon as possible."
Ren Kai watched the pink fox holding the jade pendant with great interest. It seemed she would indeed study seriously.
"Hehe, I will!"
"When I can transform, I'll be able to buy fried tofu and skewers myself!"
Yae Miko grinned proudly.
That was her ultimate dream.
From that day on, one man and one fox devoted themselves to training.
Every morning began with exercise, and the rest of the day was spent cultivating.
Three days passed like this.
The ship of the Feiyun Commerce Guild was now approaching Liyue Harbor.
Even at this moment, Ren Kai and the pink fox were still immersed in cultivation.
"Young Master Mingyun—this is bad!"
Uncle Fu rushed anxiously into Mingyun's cabin.
"What happened?"
Mingyun looked confused.
"Come to the deck quickly!"
"Liyue Harbor is under attack!"
"It's sea monsters—right along our route!"
Uncle Fu reported quickly, not even waiting for Mingyun to recover from his shock before rushing toward Ren Kai's room.
Ren Kai had already heard the commotion outside.
Just as Uncle Fu was about to knock, the door opened.
The pink fox immediately jumped onto Ren Kai's shoulder.
"Mr. Ban, this is a real crisis!"
"The entire ship is depending on you!"
"Please come see for yourself!"
Uncle Fu looked extremely anxious.
"Don't worry."
Ren Kai patted his shoulder reassuringly.
He glanced briefly at Mingyun behind him and walked straight to the deck.
Five kilometers ahead lay the bustling docks of Liyue Harbor.
Thousands of sea beasts were attacking the seal.
Their goal—
To free the Overlord of the Vortex, Osial.
One enormous sea monster was battling the God of Dust, Guizhong.
It was none other than Osial's wife—Beisht.
Meanwhile, the Millelith soldiers were operating dozens of Guizhong Ballistae, relentlessly hunting the sea beasts.
The five Yaksha and various adepti fought desperately in the chaos.
The battlefield was in utter turmoil.
"Mr. Ban… what should we do?"
"Should we turn the ship around?"
Uncle Fu stared at the apocalyptic battle ahead, completely shaken.
"Mr. Ban…"
"I'm counting on you."
Mingyun stepped onto the deck with an unusually calm expression and spoke firmly.
"Since Young Master Mingyun has asked…"
"I'll lend a hand."
"After all, this is a war between human civilization and the gods."
"Have the ship retreat five li."
"If danger arises, I will return."
Ren Kai could already feel the power within his body awakening.
Something ancient and immense stirred inside him.
"Yae, stay on the ship."
He looked at the pink fox on his shoulder.
"I… okay…"
The fox wanted to follow him and watch the excitement.
But the scale of the battle terrified her.
She jumped down from his shoulder and ran to the top of the ship.
"Mr. Ban—look!"
Uncle Fu pointed frantically ahead.
A massive tidal wave was rushing toward the merchant ship.
"Don't worry."
Ren Kai smiled.
With a powerful leap, he landed on the sea's surface.
At the same time, he opened his interface.

"As expected…"
"Susanoo—activate."
The tidal wave towering twenty meters high crashed toward him.
Ren Kai instantly summoned the third stage of Susanoo.
A colossal blue warrior appeared.
Over thirty meters tall.
Four arms wielding glowing blue swords.
To Ren Kai, the massive wave looked like nothing more than a splash in a pond.
Susanoo swung its blades.
The tidal wave was sliced apart instantly.
"Th-this…"
Uncle Fu stood frozen in shock, unable to form a sentence.
"So this is Mr. Ban's power…"
"It far exceeds imagination."
Mingyun realized he had still underestimated him.
"Go, Lord Ban!"
The pink fox jumped excitedly atop the ship.
Ren Kai guided Susanoo into the outer edges of the battlefield.
With a single sweeping strike of four glowing blades—
Hundreds of sea beasts fell.
"Our reinforcements have arrived!"
"Attack!"
Guizhong spotted Susanoo slaughtering sea beasts behind the enemy lines.
Her shout ignited Liyue's morale.
The adepti and soldiers surged forward with renewed courage.
"ROOOAAARR!"
Beisht roared furiously.
The ocean began spinning violently around her.
Two massive torrents of water split off—
One aimed at Guizhong.
The other rushed toward Ren Kai.
Ren Kai remained calm.
He continued slaughtering sea beasts.
When the water torrent struck Susanoo directly, he simply endured it.
Cracks appeared briefly in the armor—
But he immediately restored it with chakra.
"Which god is that?"
"I've never seen such abilities!"
The Yaksha general Xiao, also known as the Golden-Winged Great Peng, asked while cutting down a sea beast.
He happened to cross paths with another Yaksha—Indarias.
"I do not know."
"But with this ally, our burden has lessened greatly."
Indarias replied after finishing off a massive beast.
Meanwhile, Beisht realized her attacks had no effect.
The sea beasts she brought were being slaughtered by the blue giant.
The advantage was shifting toward Liyue.
With a powerful strike, she forced Guizhong back.
Then she charged toward Liyue Harbor.
If she couldn't save her husband—
She would destroy what the people of Liyue loved most.
"No!"
Guizhong desperately used her power of dust to block Beisht.
But in the ocean, she had no advantage.
The five Yaksha rushed forward to stop her.
Their attacks struck with full force—
But the swirling water around Beisht deflected them all.
"My home… no!"
Mingyun shouted in fury from the ship.
His friends and family were there.
"Lord Ban will defeat that monster!"
"Hmph!"
The pink fox stomped angrily.
For a god to attack ordinary people was unforgivable.
The Millelith began evacuating civilians from Liyue Harbor.
Despair and hope flickered in their eyes.
Still, they assembled in formation to defend the city.
"Rock-solid!"
"Immovable as the mountains!"
They shouted together.
Just as Beisht and her towering wave were about to strike the harbor—
The Millelith stood ready.
Everyone believed Liyue Harbor was about to be swallowed by the sea.
Then—
A blue giant appeared before Beisht.
"ROOOAAARR!"
Beisht roared down at the comparatively smaller figure.
Guizhong, the Yaksha, and the adepti all looked on in despair.
Against a hundred-meter tidal wave—
The blue giant seemed hopelessly outmatched.
"You've crossed the line."
"I've decided to personally skin you alive."
Ren Kai's fury ignited.
Liyue Harbor was the home of countless mortals.
At that moment—
He unleashed the Perfect Susanoo.
Before everyone's eyes, the blue giant expanded.
It transformed into a towering warrior over one hundred meters tall.
With a single draw of its blade—
The tidal wave split in half.
Beisht froze.
Her mind blank.
Her body instinctively retreated.
Big brother… please don't come any closer.
