Chapter 890: Thermal Vent

Sages gains from studying the undersea thermal vent were not small. On the outside world he seemed to go into a sort of trance, staring at depths of the vent with intense concentration. This trance spanned several years and allowed a layer of silt to build up upon his body. In fact, to maximize the power of his eyes, Sage had used a Master Seal to create a body that was as close to the original Sea Locust as he possibly could. This demonic Mantis Shrimp had sat motionless for years and many small barnacles had attached themselves to his carapace and a few small fish and sea life had started to use him as a makeshift reef. When he moved he heard a few small cracks when some of the hanger-ons that were placed upon his joints got dislodged.

For years the only part of his body that had moved were the large eye stalks, antenna, and two small mouth appendages that he used to clean and protect the eyes. The rest of his body had moved so little that it was nearly fused into the rock of the seafloor by a few of the little creatures building up the gap between his body and the ground like they were shoring up dens. Larger creatures had been scared away by the resonating laws that had been fluctuating around him during this time while the most tiny and harmless creatures were too weak to even notice. They were also so weak he felt no threat from them and his concentration was devoted to the vent. Only after he came out of this trance did he devote any energy to discovering what had happened to his body. Even with the time displacement of the Inner World they were clueless as hed devoted all of his bodys focus and concentration to studying the sea vent. With all his senses narrowed into one focus they were oblivious to the condition of the rest of his body.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Rattling away all the smaller beings clinging to and around him he had to stop and devote more attention to the more stubborn offenders. His Jade Mantle sprung to life, reshaping itself to only cover his forelimbs. He used the sharp blade-like appendage to scrape off the barnacles, anemones and other mollusks that had cemented themselves to his side. Once they were pried off, there were a few weakened spots on his exoskeleton and he shook his head at the damage the little buggers could cause to him. Even these tiny weak little beings, given enough time, could damage his powerful body. It was a good reminder of his philosophy to not underestimate anyone and always to be wary.

Before leaving the Inner World, each of these two daughters were hundreds of years old and their fighting styles had already come into their own as a complete system. After leaving the remaining Lang Clan, mostly researchers, took not only these two schools but also eight others. Each of his ten children created their own styles and Sage encouraged the clan to take after them. These ten areas were all things that their true body could excel at, and it was much better to diversify the abilities of the clan members. Sage didnt want one certain set of skills to become stronger than the others and become the main path of the clan. Then their enemies would be able to counter them much easier. If they instead had ten different builds it would be much more difficult to defeat them so easily.

Sage had encouraged the researchers of the Clan to continue to use and improve these schools. Not only were they good options that matched their bodies, it was also out of selfishness. Sage planned to bring these advancements to his children which would make them far more powerful which meant they would be safer. His sons and daughters were all hundreds of years old, but he still wanted to find every way possible to protect them.

You know, I think its time to head back. Its about time for the Lang Clan to get a boost.
