My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 315: Chapter 224: Saint Tier Blue Whale (2)

”Purification Healing” was a therapeutic Attribute. While wearing the Armor, one became immune to all poisons. If poisoned while not wearing it, simply putting on the Armor would purge the toxins from the body.

The ”Transformed Whale” ability allowed it to change from its Armor form into a transparent Spiritual Whale of variable size. At its smallest, it was about five to six meters long, perfect for a single rider. At its largest, it could reach over a hundred meters in length and twenty to thirty meters in width, allowing dozens of people to ride inside and freely cruise the oceans.

It had a name: the ”Sea-Stepping Spirit Whale Ship.”

Not only could it cruise on the surface, but it could also dive into the deep sea.

Moreover, its speed in the water was exceptionally fast, capable of reaching around 300 knots. A knot is one nautical mile per hour, equivalent to 1.852 kilometers per hour.

A speed of 300 knots equated to 555.6 km/h. For comparison, most modern warships topped out at around 30 knots.

Even Luo Feifei, despite being remarkably fast in the water, could only manage two to three hundred kilometers per hour, roughly 150 knots.

As for its other basic Attributes like ”Solid,” ”Silent Supersonic,” and ”Invisibility” (which included blocking radar, infrared, and sonar), they were hardly worth mentioning.

Furthermore, being blue, it offered excellent camouflage in the azure ocean.

Li Xiang was thrilled to have obtained this Saint Tier Spirit Armor, but for his own private reasons, he didn’t take it out to use.

The two of them hunted Sea Beasts together and swam in the deep sea. When they grew tired, they would find a small island to feast on various kinds of seafood, drink Spirit Wine, exchange insights on their cultivation, and spar with their Martial Arts. Three or four days flew by in a flash, and with Luo Feifei’s vacation coming to an end, they had no choice but to head back.

The trip to Antarctica had been incredibly rewarding for both Li Xiang and Luo Feifei.

Although Luo Feifei had already awakened her ”Water Escape” Superpower, she had never practiced it in the deep sea. This time, accompanied by Li Xiang, she roamed the great ocean and honed this Superpower to perfection. She also learned over ten advanced sets of water-based Martial Arts, each one impressively powerful.

Without his Saint Tier Spirit Armor, Li Xiang was no match for Luo Feifei in the water; she could have toyed with him as she pleased. Even with the Saint Tier Spirit Armor, he estimated he’d have more than enough power for self-defense, but not enough to effectively counterattack.

Of course, on dry land, Luo Feifei was no match for Li Xiang. On shore, Li Xiang was practically invincible—he could probably take on ten of her at once. You could say they each had their own areas of expertise.

SWOOSH~

Li Xiang held Luo Feifei in his arms as he raced across the waves. This time, he had switched to his Saint Tier Spirit Armor. The sonic boom and the shockwave from breaking the sound barrier were completely nullified by this brand-new Spirit Armor, not stirring a single ripple on the ocean’s surface. The ”high-tech” it contained was beyond anything current Earth technology could hope to match.

It had to be said, the Saint Tier Spirit Armor was truly top-of-the-line.

Of course, once he grew more powerful, it wouldn’t matter whether he caused a sonic boom or other strange phenomena. But for now, while he was still relatively weak, Li Xiang was very particular about such things.

Luo Feifei’s beautiful eyes sparkled when she saw Li Xiang had changed into another handsome suit of Armor. Since Li Xiang didn’t mention it, she didn’t ask. She simply curled up in his arms like a kitten, reveling in the sensation of him carrying her through the sky.

On the way back, Li Xiang flew over places like Thailand and Laos, even taking Luo Feifei to visit Xiaobai, the white elephant.

It was nighttime when they re-entered the country. Li Xiang considered taking Luo Feifei straight home, but she politely declined, saying she’d rather go back to her hotel in the Imperial Capital. After all, she hadn’t checked out of her room yet.

She really didn’t want Li Xiang to take her home. She’d told him her home address before using an alternate account, and he had even mailed her things. She was afraid he’d blow her cover.

Li Xiang said with a hint of regret, ”I was hoping to drop by your place and give you a share of our catch.”

Luo Feifei had done most of the work; she had caught almost all the seafood, while Li Xiang’s personal contribution was only about a tenth of the total.

Luo Feifei chuckled. ”There’s no rush. You can just put it in a ring and give it to me later, right?”

”Oh, right,” Li Xiang nodded, deciding he would find a Gold Jewelry store at dawn to have the Space Gemstone crafted into a piece of jewelry.

After dropping Luo Feifei off at her hotel in the Imperial Capital, she was clearly reluctant to see him go. Unfortunately, Li Xiang still departed.

He found a time-honored gold and jewelry shop in the Imperial Capital, presented the red and blue Space Gemstones, and gave the approximate finger sizes for two young women. He then commissioned the jeweler to craft them into two gold rings.

The jewelry shop had a history of over one hundred and seventy years. The master craftsman inside possessed skills passed down through generations. His technique was exquisite; the gold and Gemstone rings he made were not only beautiful but also incredibly secure, with no risk of the stones falling out.

There are many ways to set a Gemstone in gold. There were seven or eight main techniques, such as prong setting, flush setting, bead setting, and openwork setting, and each of those had numerous variations.

For example, a prong setting could be further divided into two-prong, three-prong, four-prong, six-prong, and so on.

The master craftsman used a bezel setting, in which the entire edge of the Gemstone was encased in gold, leaving only the domed surface exposed. The gold band itself was far from simple, featuring an exquisite design and intricate patterns.

The main Gemstone was accented with a scattering of small diamonds. The final product was a dazzling piece of jewelry, positively radiant. If it were put up for auction, it could fetch a price in the tens of millions even without revealing its most valuable feature: the ”storage space.”

When the rings were finished, the shop’s employees were utterly awestruck. The manager on duty even tactfully inquired if Li Xiang had any intention of selling them, as the store was interested in acquiring them.

But naturally, Li Xiang had no intention of selling.

He left the jewelry shop and found a secluded spot. There, he transferred some of the precious seafood into Luo Feifei’s blue Gemstone ring. It was impossible to give her half of the catch—not because Li Xiang was stingy, but because the space within each of the two Gemstones was limited to only about three cubic meters.
