Under Shi Ming's watch, the two of them played rock-paper-scissors to decide who would choose first.
Stone Pillar chose the cuttlefish.
Lin Hai chose the Mist Jellyfish.
The Awakening was set to take place on the deck of the Wandering Ship. Bathing in blood required a large amount of Sea Beast Blood, which would stain the indoor floors. Shi Ming certainly wasn't going to let them Awaken in the captain's cabin.
Besides, Shi Ming wanted the other crew members to witness the Awakening process.
He wanted everyone to know that on his ship, every person had a chance to Awaken—it wasn't just an empty promise.
...
「On the deck.」
The crew gathered around, some filled with envy, others with curiosity.
The two enormous sea beast carcasses were placed in an empty space on the port side. Stone Pillar and Lin Hai, both nervous and excited, each took a sharp blade and approached them shirtless.
SHHHRIIIP!
They deftly sliced open the sea beasts' bodies.
