Chapter 1678 Collecting Spiritual Crystals (Part One)
Upon seeing that Valerie looked unwell, Austin released his spiritual sense to envelop her and protect
her from the spiritual sense attack.
To his delight, Valerie looked better just a few secondster.
"The spiritual sense attack from the third floor is way too powerful. Luckily you agreed to team up with
me. Otherwise, I might have died," said Valerie when she regained her strength.
She patted her chest and heaved a deep sigh as a sign of relief.
But since Valerie was gifted with ample bosom, her chest rose and fell as she breathed deeply several
times.
Austin unintentionally gazed at her in that way and his eyes automatically locked to her breasts.
Human as he was, Austin felt a sudden arousal upon staring at Valerie''s plump breasts.
Valerie noticed it and she immediately frowned. "What are you doing?" she scolded.
Her eyebrows creased when she caught Austin staring at her breasts obsessively.
"Ahem! Ahem!" Austin pretended to clear his throat. "Let''s go look for spiritual crystals now."
He immediately changed the topic so as to break the embarrassing atmosphere.
''ording to Valerie, I can only acquire the spiritual crystal on the third floor or above, '' he thought.
Afterwards, Austin turned to look at the vast sea in front of him. ''I guess that''s where I am going to take
the tests, '' he thought.
Meanwhile, Valerie was also staring at Austin. His embarrassed look earlier was still fresh in her
memory.
''The nerve of this guy. He peeped at me and yet he couldn''t admit it. Such a coward!'' she snorted
inwardly.
Actually, Valerie didn''t feel ufortable when she caught Austin staring at her breasts.
In fact, she somehow felt delighted deep inside.
Having Austin as herpany for a day made her feel something for him already.
"Let''s get going. Make sure to always stay close to me so I can protect you with my spiritual sense,"
said Austin as he turned to look at her.
Valerie snapped out of her trance upon hearing Austin''s voice.
Before she could even respond, she saw that Austin leaped into the air and flew towards the sea.
She didn''t have any choice but to follow him in a hurry.
It was important that Austin was always beside her. She was dependent on his protection because
cultivators in this floor had to bear spiritual sense attacks that was three times stronger than their own
spiritual sense force all the time. She wouldn''t be able to defend herself alone since her spiritual sense
force was too weak.
In all her life, she had never stayed close to a young man. This was the first time she felt dependent but
it also felt good. As she stared at Austin''s wide shoulders and well-built physique, her heart beat faster
and her face blushed.
Now, she seemed ill at ease. However, she couldn''t stay away from Austin because of the possible
danger that they might encounter.
''What a bad day!''
Valerie secretly cast Austin an angry look. Austin was flying ahead of her so she had all the chances to
stare at him freely.
She was actually confused. A part of her wasining but the other part of her was also
celebrating.
She was d to be protected by Austin but her pride wouldn''t allow her to admit it.
''Never mind. I should just focus on this mission, '' thought Valerie to herself inwardly.
They cautiously flew through the boundless sea. All of a sudden, loud sounds came from the sea below
them.
Then dozens of huge shadows emerged from the water rapidly.
Their swift movements created huge waves on the surface of the sea as they dashed towards Austin
and Valerie.
Each fish weighed a few thousand pounds.
The indigo scales that covered them was very hard. It was like a fine armor that was protecting them.
The fish opened their mouths and two sharp long teeth showed up.
These fish were called indigo demonic fish. They were sea beasts.
This kind of fish was as powerful as a human cultivator at the medium stage of Bitter Sea Realm.
Sea beasts like the indigo demonic fish might not be a big threat to strong cultivators.
But once the cultivators reached the third floor, they would automatically be under the spiritual sense
attack three times stronger than their spiritual senses. Under such circumstances, the beasts'' attacks
could still be dangerous.
If cultivators came unprepared, they might put themselves in danger.

Since they had to deal with the spiritual sense attack, they couldn''t stay focused.
The worst was, they had to fight with the ferocious sea beasts at the same time.
Hence, exploring the third floor was a very challenging task for most cultivators.
They had to ward off the spiritual sense attack which was three times stronger than their own spiritual
sense. At the same time, they also had to handle the sea beasts.
Under such circumstances, they were most likely to lose their lives.
That was the reason why many cultivators with weak spiritual sense wouldn''t dare to go to the third
floor. They were contented to look for treasures on the first or second floor.
Dozens of indigo demonic fishes jumped in mid-air and pounced at Austin and Valerie.
The demonic aura that they had released enveloped the whole area above the sea.
They created bigger waves which were around a hundred meters tall.
When Austin noticed that they were already surrounded by the sea beasts, he pulled out his white
sword and held Valerie with his other hand. He then disyed the bodily movement skill that he had
end his enemies.
In a sh he was able to find his way out and floated several meters away from their original location.
Valerie never let go of his hand. She knew that only Austin could fight against the sea beasts and she
would be safe if she was with him.
The sea beasts froze above the sea.
In the next second, they all exploded simultaneously.
Blood and broken fish body parts rained from the sky.
The sea water immediately turned red.
