On the surface of the sea, a shadow was floating, rolling continuously with the waves.
Below, behind him, many sharks were eyeing him covetously. However, for so reason, these sharks dared not co and bite even though the floating shadow remained motionless.
This floating figure was Ye Qiu, who had been struck by the Saint’s palm, blasted straight from China into the ocean. The strength of such an attack was truly astonishing.
Floating and sinking, Ye Qiu lay motionless, his consciousness never awakening, the damage from the Saint’s palm was too great.
Even in a blackened state, he couldn’t withstand the Saint’s attack.
Mysterious black markings wandered over Ye Qiu’s body, healing his wounds.
That palm could be said to have instantly shattered Ye Qiu’s fleshy body, but fortunately, at the ti he was in a blackened state, barely maintaining his body from fracturing. Since Ye Qiu lost consciousness, the blackened state didn’t recede, as if it knew once it disappeared, his physical body would completely crack, breaking into countless pieces, thus the mysterious markings began to repair Ye Qiu’s flesh.
Adrift for over a month, the mysterious markings consistently cleansed the power left by the Saint within Ye Qiu’s body.
Now, it was nearly completely removed, and his body was becoming more intact.
Ye Qiu would never have expected that the mysterious markings had such strength, able to automatically repair him while he was unconscious.
The sky darkened, wind rose, thunder and rain ensued, then again wind, sun exposed; Ye Qiu drifted along the waves for two months like a piece of duckweed.
In the third month, a yacht discovered Ye Qiu and hauled him aboard.
"Captain, he still has a heartbeat." Said the crew mber examining Ye Qiu’s body. Nearby, many passengers were observing from a distance.
The captain was relieved; encountering a floating body at sea was uncommon, usually, before they could be discovered, they’d be consud by sea creatures, but now capturing a living person was truly bizarre.
"As long as he’s alive, take him to a room and let the doctor examine him." The captain said.
If it were a dead body, there’d be quite a taboo, but a living person is different; no need to alert the authorities.
"How’s his condition?" While the doctor examined Ye Qiu, a long-haired girl stood aside, curious; she was the captain’s daughter. Having heard her father hauled up soone with signs of life, Lisa imdiately beca intrigued and thus appeared here.
"This person’s heart beats are much stronger than us ordinary humans, all life indicators are high, not like soone who’s injured, likely he’ll wake up soon by himself." The doctor said surprisingly.
"Could he be a superhuman?" Lisa’s eyes brightened, she had heard, today’s world had changed, many powerful people erged, even seen reports on TV.
"Very likely, I’ll inform your father, let him decide if we should keep him, otherwise if he’s a bad person, upon waking, it’ll bring us disaster." The doctor said seriously.
"No, he definitely isn’t a bad person." Lisa imdiately said.
"Lisa, this matter is important, things aren’t like before, especially these superhumans, their strength is like the emperor; we cannot allow passengers to take risks."
Lisa gazed twice at Ye Qiu lying there, for so reason, she felt looking at this Eastern face, Ye Qiu wasn’t a bad person, but right now she couldn’t defy the doctor, just said, "Alright."
Then, lowered her voice, muttered, "Can I stay here and watch him?"
"Absolutely not, Lisa, this is very dangerous!" The doctor instantly refused.
In the days following, Ye Qiu remained unconscious, but the doctor’s warning that Ye Qiu might be a superhuman left Lisa’s father, also the captain, quite worried, feeling as if he’d rescued a persistent trouble.
Couldn’t keep, couldn’t discard; very troubling indeed.
"Father, he’s surely not a bad person; if you really throw him off the yacht, that’s akin to indirect murder, that’s illegal." Lisa said.
"Lisa, you don’t understand the treacherous nature of humans, I know you’re curious about the East, always friendly towards Eastern people, but do you know, there’s a story in the East called ’The Farr and the Snake’; an old man ward a frozen snake with his body, yet that snake bit and killed him." The captain said, fearing Ye Qiu might be an ungrateful ’snake.’
"But after all, it’s a story, story tales are deceptive, I trust my instincts." Lisa still insisted on her viewpoint.
These days, though she couldn’t stay in Ye Qiu’s room, she followed the doctor daily, secretly observing Ye Qiu; every ti she saw Ye Qiu, she felt this Eastern person was uniquely charismatic, not like a bad person.
The captain couldn’t endure Lisa’s persistence, hurriedly agreed, saying he wouldn’t throw Ye Qiu off the yacht, finally allowing Lisa to relent.
Yet, Ye Qiu’s rescue was witnessed by many passengers, and now after many days, the news about Ye Qiu, many expressed curiosity. With intentional efforts to drink with the doctor, inadvertently the doctor ntioned Ye Qiu might be superhuman, spreading the word.
This caused a stir among the nurous passengers.
Even though nature’s spiritual energy was revitalized, martial artists ushered into a great era, so even transford into strong beings overnight; yet they remained few, even abroad, quite rare; ordinary people were still the majority. Upon hearing they might have rescued a superhuman, many were very curious.
"No wonder he survived floating at sea, he must be a powerful superhuman."
"I want to be a superhuman too, if only I could ask him; it’s a pity he’s not awake."
Many discussed, expressing their envy.
At this ti, soone sneered, "Do you think superhumans are good? Don’t forget, in this world there are good and bad, superhumans can be bad too, and he’s injured, indicates being too close is dangerous, you shouldn’t be too subjective."
Many furrowed their brows at this point.
Just then, television broadcasted a piece of news.
"In the Bohai Sea, a yacht was hijacked by pirates, suspected superhuman involvent, leading to the yacht’s fall to pirates’ hands, hope everyone is cautious, don’t casually trust strangers."
When this news aired in the yacht’s hall, everyone couldn’t help but think of the person rescued on their yacht; if he’s truly a superhuman, is this yacht also in danger of pirate hijacking?
"We need to see the captain, throw that person off the yacht."
"See the captain, see the captain!"
Suddenly in the yacht, everyone beca united in voice, demanding to throw Ye Qiu overboard.
