Shi Nuo pointed upwards, signaling Ming Xin to go up first while he stayed to hold back the tiger shark group.
Ming Xin nodded without much extra talk; he trusted Shi Nuo's strength, believing that once he was out of danger, the other would also quickly escape.
Just as he was stepping on the Source Water General, preparing to float to the surface, three black-scaled tiger sharks, seeing their target about to flee, couldn't stand still and quickly circled Ming Xin, intending to bite.
Seeing this, Shi Nuo released a Giant Horn behind him, using the recoil to quickly reach Ming Xin's side.
Then, he punched one of the tiger sharks in the eye.
The tiger shark thrashed in pain, while its companions continued to bite at Ming Xin.
"Good opportunity!"
Looking at the tiger shark's gaping maw, Shi Nuo secretly thought that a good opportunity for acting had arrived.
He quickly thrust his arm into the shark's mouth, wanting to create a scene where he was injured to fully unleash Ming Xin's potential.
But the next scene left him stunned on the spot.
The tiger shark's desperately closing mouth did not leave any scratches on his right arm; instead, due to the automatic defense of his right arm Spirit Bone, two shark teeth broke off.
"My goodness, do you have to be so fragile? How am I supposed to do this?"
The opportunity for acting was ruined, and Shi Nuo felt helpless; he had offered himself up to be bitten, but if it couldn't bite him, how could he continue the act?
Shi Nuo's eyes darted around, and he happened to see the leader of the black-scaled tiger sharks rushing towards them from not far away.
The massive body of the leader also gave him some inspiration.
To prevent the awkward situation of the tiger shark leader also being unable to bite him, Shi Nuo, using the recoil from pushing Ming Xin away, directly leaped into the belly of the black-scaled tiger shark leader.
Ming Xin, who had been pushed away, was a bit confused; he turned back and saw a scene that made his eyes split with fury.
His good elder brother, who had taken such good care of him for the past year, had become the tiger shark's meal to save him. How could he, who cared so deeply about friendship, accept this?
He stopped his movement towards the surface, and Ming Xin slowly lowered his head.
Eerie green light continuously flickered around his body.
The surrounding black-scaled tiger shark group didn't care about any of that; seeing that their leader had dealt with the troublesome fellow, they all converged on Ming Xin, intending to tear him to shreds.
"Unforgivable! All of you, die!"
When Ming Xin looked up again, his originally pitch-black eyes had completely transformed into an eerie green, and at the same time, the faint glow on his body began to transform into endless brilliance, illuminating the entire deep sea with dazzling light.
"Corpse Stench Netherworld Wave!"
Ming Xin's fingertips suddenly shot out several spinning eerie green light waves, instantly hitting dozens of black-scaled tiger sharks that were closing in.
The tiger sharks hit by the light waves immediately rolled their eyes white, and at the same time, countless shark Souls floated out from their beast bodies.
After doing all this, Ming Xin quickly opened a Netherworld passage at the bottom of the sea and led all the shark Souls into it.
Having done all this, Ming Xin, with bloodshot eyes, looked at the black-scaled tiger shark leader that had swallowed Shi Nuo, green light flickering in his hand, clearly intending to deal with it as well and avenge his elder brother.
Shi Nuo, resting safely in the black-scaled tiger shark's belly, felt a familiar aura, unique to the Cosmo, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"It worked; this act wasn't for nothing after all."
"I can come out now. I have to say, it's really stinky inside this shark's belly!"
"Giant Horn!"
To Ming Xin's surprise, a faint golden light suddenly seeped out from the black-scaled tiger shark leader's slightly open mouth, and then its entire shark body was illuminated by endless radiance.
As a roar like a wild ox passed through the seawater and entered their ears.
The body of the black-scaled tiger shark before them began to shatter, and a pitch-black spirit ring slowly rose from the corpse.
"Big Brother!"
Having recovered what he thought was lost, Ming Xin's eyes were full of joy.
He hadn't expected that his big brother, who he thought had died in the shark's mouth to save him, was actually still alive.
Shi Nuo smiled without speaking, but instead pointed to the sea surface again, then quickly floated upwards.
Ming Xin immediately followed.
When the two brothers surfaced, the small boat they had come in was floating steadily on the sea.
Lin Beiya was leisurely lying on the boat with his legs crossed, letting the sea breeze caress his cheeks, looking incredibly relaxed.
"Oh, you're back. Looks like you've awakened your Cosmo, haven't you?"
He had naturally felt that aura just now. He was incredibly familiar with Shi Nuo's Cosmo, and this unfamiliar Cosmo could only belong to Ming Xin.
Ming Xin was slightly stunned, not even having time to climb onto the boat, floating on the sea and looking at his outstretched hands.
"Just... was that the Cosmo just now? It's really powerful!"
At this point, Shi Nuo had already been pulled onto the boat by Lin Beiya, and as soon as he got on, he began to complain.
"Beiya, these tiger sharks you found are too weak. I originally wanted to put my hand in to let them bite some wounds, to make it look real."
"And guess what?"
"It couldn't bite through!"
Lin Beiya glanced helplessly at the simpleton and said:
"Save it. There aren't many sea Spirit Beasts here in the East Sea. It's already good to find a group of tiger sharks like this."
Ming Xin: "???"
Ming Xin, still dazed in the sea, heard the conversation between the two elder brothers and was filled with question marks. What did they mean by 'making it look real,' and 'it's already good to find this group of tiger sharks'?
So, you two were just putting on an act to tease me?
Lin Beiya threw over the Cancer gold card, and Ming Xin subconsciously caught it.
"Still don't understand? Taking back the cancer gold cloth was to push you into a desperate situation."
"The power a person can unleash in despair is infinite."
"This is also a necessary experience to stimulate your Sixth Sense."
Ming Xin in the sea suddenly realized; so, the two elder brothers did this to stimulate his Sixth Sense.
Putting away the gold card, a warmth flowed through Ming Xin's heart.
Only those who truly cared about him would be willing to go to such great lengths, even risking injury, to help him, right?
"Thank you, Big Brothers. I can already use the Cosmo."
"Alright, let's go to Xinghai City and treat Shi Nuo to a meal!"
"Okay, I'll treat both Big Brothers to seafood!"
Lin Beiya: "Uh..."
Shi Nuo: "..."
Having stayed in Xinghai City for half a year, the two brothers had more than enough seafood.
Yet Ming Xin, who had grown up by the sea, regarded these as delicacies and never tired of them.
"I think we should go to the north of the city for barbecue instead."
"I think that works."
No longer paying attention to Ming Xin, who was still in the sea, the two brothers happily made their decision and then paddled away into the distance.
Today's training wasn't finished yet.
Ming Xin scratched his head; he had figured it out: as long as it wasn't seafood, the two elder brothers seemed fine with anything.
Shaking his head helplessly, Ming Xin also dove back into the sea; his training was also not yet complete.
Even though he had awakened his Cosmo, he couldn't slow down.
He still had to work hard to catch up with his two elder brothers.
Shi Nuo looked back at the vanished Ming Xin and asked with some anticipation;
"Beiya, can this kid also awaken specific abilities?"
"I don't know, there's a high probability he can, but it's unclear where his talent truly lies."
