In the midst of the waves of exclamations, Chen Xu calmed his mind and remained utterly composed.

He continued drawing his blueprint.

This required powerful calculations; it wasn't just a matter of understanding some principles to easily and completely draw every detail of the blueprint.

Especially this dragon bone waterwheel, Chen Xu had actually made improvements to it.

He hoped the construction of the waterwheel could be simpler, the usage more effortless, and the speed even faster.

Moreover, after the dragon bone waterwheel takes water at a low position and irrigates at a high position, how the water should flow between fields is also a subject of study.

Chen Xu took certain village fields he had actually seen as examples, recording detailed data and writing calculation formulas.

In his previous life, he was a science student, and compared to writing poems and essays, he was naturally more adept at practical problems related to divination.

It was just that previously, due to his lowly status, even if he had some understanding, it was difficult to express it.

Now, he was no longer the penniless Chen Xu of the past; he possessed some ability to protect himself, having glimpsed a corner of this world's iceberg—

Even though it was just a corner, it gave him enough courage.

In this era of great contention, passionate words and splendid artistry flowed.

Chen Xu's hand was steady, as if countless magical rulers were pushing and pulling at the tip of his pen.

Every stroke, every line, every piece of data, every example problem was exquisite, as if it was the most orderly kind of art in the world.

Wei Yuan watched, dazzled and enchanted, at the movement of the pen tip, barely able to keep himself from paying attention to the uproar outside.

Little Mouse Ah Shi finally couldn't hold it back any longer. It suddenly stood upright, and in a flash, leaped onto the half-open window frame beside him.

Through the crack in the window frame, the little mouse opened its eyes wide.

All it could see ahead was the vast expanse of water and sky seemingly stretching to infinity, where a white wave, like an arrow shot from a bow, surged forward.

At first, the white wave was extremely far away, seeming to rise from the horizon.

So people were just exclaiming.

But in an instant, the roar of waves being cleaved came from afar.

Rumble——

It was like thunder crashing down, startling the people on the deck of the tower ship into a series of exclamations.

Those with keen eyesight said it was a ship rushing toward them.

Those with less sharp vision could only claim it was an arrow shot from a string.

The speeding ship moved like lightning and thunder; calling it a fast boat or an arrow boat was somewhat inadequate.

And those speaking nonsense, saying it was a sharp arrow shooting toward them, ironically described it more accurately.

"Ah... run!" The people exclaiming on the deck scrambled in panic.

Yet there were also bursts of mocking laughter: "It's just a small boat. We are on this three-story tower ship of the Lingwu Clan. How could such a small boat crash into us?"

"Exactly, how could anyone be so timid? How could a small boat possibly ram through a big ship?

If that small boat doesn't steer clear and truly crashes into us, let's see—who will it really harm, the small boat seeking death, or our large ship suffering damage?"

"Hahaha..."

The crowd erupted in laughter.

Watching those panicked escapees seemed like watching a joke.

But in an instant, the fast boat, which had seemed to be still speeding at the farthest point where water and sky met, suddenly appeared close to the tower ship.

Rumble——

The sound of water being split and waves being driven roared like a string of thunder, with white waves crashing down like shattered jade and crystal beads, or like silver arrows, splattering onto the deck of the large ship.

In that instant, someone was hit by the water drops, and suddenly they were pierced through with bloody holes!

"Ahhhh!"

The laughter abruptly ceased.

More cries of terror echoed endlessly.

It seemed that people finally understood that the fast boat shooting toward them was certainly hostile.

But even scarier was that the large ship needed to adhere to protocols and strategies to move, making it difficult to turn around and dodge in time.

Furthermore, the sailors on board seemed unaware that they needed to turn at this moment.

The Incense Master in charge of the tower ship suddenly exclaimed: "Not good——"

Boom——

They saw, atop the fast boat shooting toward them, amidst waves towering several dozen feet high that seemed to blot out the sky, a gigantic snake head vaguely emerged.

The snake head loomed above, with a slight bulge on top that seemed like horns!

As the snake head vaguely emerged amidst the towering waves, its overwhelming might pressed down invisibly.

Some people on the ship, upon seeing the snake head, were so frightened their legs gave out, and they collapsed onto the deck.

Others who didn't fall only felt their hearts quiver and their spirits tremble.

For a moment, it seemed as if an immense, awe-inspiring being descended from the skies, scrutinizing the dust of the world.

The Incense Master of the Lingwu Clan couldn't contain his astonishment and fear any longer, blurting out his inner speculation in a shout:

"Water Monarch! It's the Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch..."

Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch!

This title shook the world.

It was like a giant stone plunged into a wild wave.

Immediately, a series of disordered voices rang out:

"Ahhh... Water Monarch, please don't crash into me! I realize my mistake, boo-hoo, I'll never stop my wife from making incense offerings to you, dear elder, morning or evening...

Boo-hoo, my whole family worships you devoutly!

I'm your follower too, I only stopped my wife because we're poor, boo-hoo, I dare not do it again..."

...

These confessions of mistakes sounded like they were courting death.

People screamed, shouted, and cried.

Some fled in panic.

Even though no matter how they ran, they remained on the ship, people's instincts made them feel that if they could leave the deck and run to the cabin, it would be better than this current panic.

All this description might seem lengthy, but actually, it all occurred in a flash, within an instant.

The violent waves surged in, and amidst the giant waves, the fast boat, like an arrow shot from a string, continued to fly toward the tower ship.

The fast boat still had the momentum to crash into the ship!

But now, no one dared easily say words like "the small boat can't damage the big ship" anymore.

"Ahhh!"

In screams that were like tearing the heart and splitting the lungs, a deep, steady, yet grand and distant voice suddenly sounded in the air:

"Jichuan County, where is Chen Xu?"

What?

Where did that voice come from?

Ah, it was the voice amid the pounding waves.

It was the voice from the fast boat!

On the fast boat, could it be that the Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch was actually speaking?

What was he asking?

Jichuan County Chen Xu, who could that be?

Indeed, it was the voice amid the pounding waves.
