232 – Seven Headed Fire Phoenix

Sitting upright behind Ma Hongjun, with the stimulation of the three

great sausages, Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Skill inner strength
circulated as fast as it had when in the pressure of the Seagod’s
Light, underwent the restoration of the eight extraordinary meridians,
and then flowed into Ma Hongjun.
With free rein to contest the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent
neidan with all his strength, Fatty very soon displayed the restraining
ability of his phoenix flame to the ten headed fierce yang serpent
flame, gradually blocking the initial burst of the neidan, and his
expression also calmed.
The purity of the Mysterious Heaven Skill inner strength became the
best protection, without causing the slightest conflict with ma
Hongjun’s own spirit power. With the clever control of Tang San’s
formidable spiritual force there were no mistakes, making that ten
headed fierce yang serpent’s explosive energy unable to harm him.
The spirit power output finally couldn’t keep up with the exhaustion,
the three great sausages’ effect gradually faded, and an intense
feeling of weakness attacked Tang San’s whole body. But Tang San
sat there without even showing a change in expression, and Dai
Mubai and the others basically couldn’t see any hints from his
scorched outside. None of them knew how long Tang San could hold
out, nor to what degree Fatty, absorbing the ten headed fierce yang
serpent neidan, could reach. All they could do was wait, an almost
painful waiting.
The orange phoenix flame grew more and more intense, and the
orange color on Fatty’s skin disappeared and appeared
intermittently. Gradually, his hair had completely become golden red,
and this time, the hair color no longer changed. What astonished
everyone the most was that Fatty’s originally plump body actually
constantly shrank as time went by, and his skin also subsequently
contracted, as if that feverish flame was refining the fat within his
body. The entire process was indescribably bizarre.
Finally Tang San’s hands, the only thing white left on his body, left
Fatty’s back. Dai Mubai and Oscar hastily rushed over from either
side, each lending him an arm. Oscar ate a recently just made
Golden Fly without hesitation, then immediately produced a few big
recovery sausages and stuffed them into Tang San’s mouth.
Large recovery sausages made after using the Spirit Avatar Erect
Gold Fly had recovery capability, as well as the strength replenishing
effects became considerably more potent than ordinary.
After Tang San ate the sausages, the two helped him sit to the side,
gasping great mouthfuls of air. Even his breath was so hot, and this
was with his heat and cold twin immunities body. Anyone else would
have truly been roasted to coal long since.
The time of an incense stick burning passed, and Tang San slowly
came around. Due to the endurance of his body, the side effects of
the limit surpassing dark green sausage were limited to him. Only
the current feeling of emptiness within him was uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry, everyone. Fatty’s spirit power has already completely
suppressed the ten headed fierce yang serpent neidan’s energy.
Abosrbing completely is only a matter of time.”
Zhu Zhuqing fetched water from the seaside, and helped Tang San
wipe the soot from his face. The hair pitiful Tang San had grown for
half a year had disappeared again, and his face was like golden
paper, so weak it seemed he might collapse at any time.
Tang San said:
“Rongrong, you can stop boosting Fatty. Nobody approach him, it’s
fine to let him absorb it on his own. I can’t go on. Boss, you and
Rognrong keep an eye on him. If you see his expression grow
worse, Rongrong, you give him an attribute boost. Remember, only
attribute boost, you can’t give him anything else.”
“Alright. Third brother, you hurry up and rest.”
Tang San nodded with difficulty, explaining everything. Then he
closed his eyes and started to cultivate.
Tang San’s body required a full twenty four hours to completely
recover, that was already quite significant for a body like his. But as
he woke up, Fatty still hadn’t finished absorbing the ten headed
fierce yang serpent neidan. The only change was that the orange
flame around him had dimmed a lot.
There was another person on the beach. Xiao Bai in human form
looked curiously at Fatty, and in her moving grey blue eyes could be
seen a faintly fearful impression. As if fearful due to Fatty’s aura.
Watching Fatty in cultivation, then again looking over to Xiao Bai
whom he was deeply grateful to, Tang San felt a burst of regret.
Actually, at first he didn’t want to use the ten headed fierce yang
serpent neidan for Fatty, because back then Titan Giant Ape Er Ming
had told him there were altogether three conditions to resurrect Xiao
Wu, the soul awakening Sacred Spirit Grass, the body human
transforming precious ten thousand year ginseng king, as well as a
mythical beast neidan to help Xiao Wu’s soul and body unite.
In fact, among these three treasures, the Sacred Spirit Grass and
ten thousand year ninth grade Ginseng King were no longer
necessary. Along with the immortal grade among immortal grade
Yearning Heartbroken Red as well as the Water Crystal Blood
Dragon Ginseng that wasn’t inferior to a ten thousand year ninth
grade ginseng king being completely absorbed by Xiao Wu, her soul
had long ago already been thoroughly awoken, and her body had
also completed the process of rebirth and human transformation.
The only thing necessary for the future resurrection was a mythical
beast neidan to help unite her soul and body.
Before coming to Seagod Island, for the sake of Xiao Wu’s
resurrection, Tang San had always regarded the ten headed fierce
yang serpent neidan as more important than his life. However, after
passing the Seagod’s first trial, he had discovered a secret. Another
way to unite Xiao Wu’s body and soul, that was absolutely more
reliable than using the ten headed fierce yang serpent neidan.
This method was something Tang San discovered when bringing
Xiao Wu along to break through the Seagod’s first trial. At that time,
after Xiao Wu’s soul returned to her body, because Tang San was
already unable to completely resist the pressure, a measure of
pressure had fallen on Xiao Wu. That time, through the connection of
the spirit ring, spirit bone and Xiao Wu’s soul, Tang San discovered
that a special change had appeared in Xiao Wu’s body. That
enormous pressure had firmly pressed her soul into her body, so
much so that it had even showed signs of severing her connection
with Tang San.
In such a situation, such circumstances were undoubtedly absolutely
dangerous. If the soul link was severed, Xiao Wu’s soul would
scatter like ash, because her soul was joined as a whole with Tang
San’s spirit ring and spirit bone. However, if it was after the spirit
ring and bone returned to Xiao Wu, and then underwent such
pressure again?
This was a question that appeared in Tang San’s heart at the time.
Bringing this question, he had carefully researched for a very long
time, but still couldn’t affirm his speculation. Only after the start of
the second trial, when Tang San accidentally communicated with
Xiao Bai, did he connect it clearly.
Due to the equally hundred thousand year spirit beast, Tang San
carefully researched possible methods for Xiao Wu’s resurrection
after fighting Xiao Bai. And shockingly, the conditions for resurrection
Xiao Bai gave were completely different from Da Ming and Er Ming.
She only said one thing: As long as you are willing, once you
possess nine spirit rings and bestow your spirit ability on her in
reverse through the Seagod’s light, the chances of resurrection are
one hundred percent.
Tang San hurried to explain the method Da Ming and Er Ming spoke
of back then. After Xiao Bai listened, she scoffed. When she’d also
seen the ten headed fierce yang serpent neidan Tang San brought
out, she directly admonished him that, if he used it to help unite Xiao
Wu’s body and soul, she would definitely die. Indeed, mythical beast
neidan really could help her, but that also depended on the
attributes. The ten headed fierce yang serpent neidan’s property
was too explosive, and when Xiao Wu was in the process of
harmonizing with her body, her soul was in an extremely weak state.
Nobody could help her at that time, and unless her soul could endure
the baptism of the ten headed fierce yang serpent neidan energy,
her soul would disperse.
Hearing these words, Tang San had been covered with cold sweat,
and hastily asked Xiao Bai for advice as well as described the
circumstances when he passed the first trial.
Xiao Bai informed Tang San that the lord Seagod’s abilities were
limitless, and the Seagod’s Light protecting Seagod Island was only
an imitation of the lord Seagod’s barrier ability. It really wasn’t the
true Seagod’s Light. Such pressure really might facilitate the fusion
of Xiao Wu’s soul with her body, but it wasn’t stable. Moreover, right
now Tang San and Xiao Wu were also unable to resist such
pressure. The Seagod’s Light she spoke of was the true Seagod’s
Light. Radiance only the Seagod could posses. It was also the light
that emitted from the trident brand on Tang San’s forehead the day
she wanted to kill him. Under the effect of such light, the mild
Seagod force could help Xiao Wu softly complete the fusion.
When Tang San asked Xiao Bai how he could rouse the Seagod’s
Light again, Xiao Bai looked speechlessly at him, then told him that
on the entire Seagod Island, the only person who could fully use the
true Seagod’s Light wasn’t the grand priest, Seagod Douluo Bo
Saixi, but rather Tang San himself. As for when he could produce it,
that would depend on when Tang San’s Seagod Affinity score could
surpass thirty percent.
As Xiao Bai finished speaking, the trident brand on Tang San’s
forehead flashed once again. This time Xiao Bai didn’t have time to
finish speaking before she was whipped back into the sea by a line
of golden light. Clearly, the force contained in that brand was aimed
at her blabbing too much.
It was also because of this that Tang San was for the first time
brimming with anticipation for the five percent Seagod Affinity he
received, and also why he was grateful to Xiao Bai. And the ten
headed fierce yang serpent neidan naturally no longer had to be
saved for Xiao Wu, and could be used for best effect. Without Xiao
Wu as reason, Tang San naturally wouldn’t be stingy, so it directly
became Ma Hongjun’s seventh spirit ring’s cultivation.
Forcefully stretching his body, Tang San’s bones all popped, rousing
everyone who were keeping watch.
Ning Rongrong bounced over to Tang San,
“Third brother, you’re away. How do you feel? Are you well?”
Tang San nodded:
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Fatty’s circumstances still seem stable. You all
keep watching him. Xiao Bai, I’ll wash in the sea, so don’t attack
me.”
Xiao Bai looked at his miserable appearance and nodded, the
corners of her eyes revealing a strange light. As a hundred thousand
year spirit beast, how couldn’t she be aware of what happened on
the shore? Especially the kind of aura Fatty erupted with after taking
the ten headed fierce yang serpent neidan that made even her feel
fearful, made her even more vigilant. That’s why she rushed over
several times to take a look.
The circumstances of Tang San not sparing anything to endure the
phoenix flame in order to support Fatty were completely seen by
her, and now seeing Tang San awake, Xiao Bai thought to herself,
was this human cameraderie? So humans weren’t only selfish.
Tang San thoroughly washed up and changed into fresh clothes.
Besides his hair and eyebrows having to take some time to regrow
again, his body was completely recovered.
However, at this time nobody had a mind to cultivate, everyone was
looking forward to Ma Hongjun’s breakthrough. Besides Xiao Wu, he
was the last to reach the seventieth rank of spirit power. They
weren’t looking forward to any formidable strength he would have
after passing it, but rather looking forward to him safely absorbing
the spirit ring.
This wait lasted a full three days. Everyone took turns cultivating
spirit power and guarding. Waiting for Fatty to wake up from
cultivation.
Watching Ma Hongjun in cultivation state, the most shocked was still
Bai Chenxiang. Three days time passed. Fatty’s appearance had
already transformed into a different person. The fat all over his body
was gone, and under the oversized clothes could be sensed his
sturdy muscles.
Along with the fat vanishing from his face, his tightly closed eyes no
longer seemed so small, everything seemed a lot more harmonious.
Even though it was impossible for him to compete with Tang San,
Oscar and Dai Mubai in terms of appearance, right now, with his
appearance and the special temperament granted him by the
phoenix spirit, he actually seemed quite attractive.
After three days.
Nightfall. Just as everyone were preparing to allay their hunger with
oscar’s big sausage, suddenly, an astonishing feeling appeared in
each of their hearts. Everyone’s gazes practically instantly focused
on Ma Hongjun.
The orange flame that had gone missing from Fatty’s skin appeared
once again, sparkling and translucent with a few wisps of red blood.
Fatty’s whole body trembled slightly, and the next moment, he was
completely enveloped in flame. The soaring phoenix flame instantly
covered the sky. With the enormous flame shooting up, a resonant
phoenix cry burst out.
Dazzling phoenix flame cut open the night sky, illuminating practically
the entire Seagod Mountain. As it rose, the flame gradually
subsided, until it revealed a giant shape.
A fiery red giant bird soared in midair, dazzling fiery red tail feathers,
perfect figure, nothing lacking to manifest the majesty of the king
among birds. Most peculiar was that this giant fire phoenix actually
had seven heads. Ordinary creatures having seven heads might
seem frightening, but this fire phoenix’ heads seemed extraordinarily
harmonious, beautiful.
Tang San swung his fist hard,
“Success!”
Loud and resonant phoenix cries continuously circled in the sky, this
moment was the first time Dai Mubai felt that Fatty’s strength had
caught up to his. Even so much that he had already been surpassed
in some areas. Soaring beyond the horizon, he truly possessed a
super spirit.
With a splash, Xiao Bai didn’t know why she had come ashore, but
looking somewhat alarmed at the seven headed fire phoenix in the
sky, her eyes revealed a bewildered and indeterminate expression.
That didn’t mean she feared Ma Hongjun incarnated as the fire
phoenix, but rather because the fire phoenix’ aura was practically the
nemesis of all snakes, insects and fish. Fatty had just completed the
spirit avatar fusion, and that split second eruption of most primal
phoenix force frightened any creature it suppressed.
Xiao Bai knew that when these dry land humans attacked her next,
blocking would more difficult.
Half a year had gone by. Xiao Bai personally saw the frightening
development speed of the Shrek Seven Devils. Honestly, she was
secretly a bit jealous. Humans were the souls of all living things, and
their cultivation speed was something other creatures were unable to
match. In a short half year, they had already made such an
enormous breakthrough. Now blocking their assault was already
becoming more and more difficult. When she couldn’t use her most
potent attacks, blocking these fellows would not only rely on her
domain ability, but moreover also required the cooperation of the
other sea spirit beasts in the ring sea. Only like this could they blast
them back to land one by one.
But in all their previous attacks, this Fatty had never participated.
Now that another fighter with strength not inferior to Dai Mubai had
appeared, she might have to go all out in order to block them. They
truly were worthy of being the lord Seagod’s chosen!
The phoenix cry echoing in the heavens gradually came to a rest.
Fatty circled a lap around Seagod Island, then slowly descended,
angling towards the shore. The seven headed phoenix still hadn’t
landed when intense heat already roasted the ground burning hot.
Fortunately Fatty restrained his spirit power when he really landed,
and so avoided causing any damage.
The giant phoenix wings disappeared, and Fatty turned back to
human form at the same time as he had his feet firmly planted on the
ground. This time he wasn’t as disgraceful as with the sixth spirit
ring, completely naked. Even if he removed the Spirit Avatar, his
whole body was still covered in a layer of fiery red feathers,
sheltering his skin and important places.
The current Ma Hongjun seemed like a well proportioned youth, a
head of short red hair in a mohican style, set off by the bright fiery
red plumage, his whole body seemed extremely vigorous, and still
had a somewhat noble compelling feeling. Even just standing there
he gave people a kind of intangible pressure.
Ma Hongjun released the fiery red light with eyes filled with disbelief,
demonstratively looking at his hands, then again looking at his clearly
thinned down several sizes body, so much so that he even stupidly
slapped the muscles of his chest a few times, standing there numbly,
for a moment speechless. His flames now also slowly stopped
burning.
“Fatty, what are you looking at? Even if you can’t compare with me, I
have to admit you’re a lot more handsome than before!”
Oscar grinned.
“I really lost weight, I really lost weight? Heavens! Earth! I’m not
dreaming! Wahaha…….”
Fatty shouted extremely exaggeratedly, excitement showing in his
speech, proudly laughing out loud.
Bai Chenxiang couldn’t help being dumbfounded looking at him. This
fellow really had thinned down, but his character was still the same
as before, without the slightest change.
Looking at Ma Hongjun, Tang San’s eyes also equally revealed
excitement. Fatty had succeeded. He had also finally stepped into
the Spirit Sage realm. In this one year and more, Fatty had obtained
the best reward for his effort, and at the same time the ten headed
fierce yang serpent neidan had also found its best home. Tang San
couldn’t help secretly feeling gratified.
“Third brother.”
Fatty shouted, fiercely dashing towards Tang San and forcefully
giving him a bearhug.
Tang San somewhat helplessly let him hug him,
“Pay attention to your state of mind, don’t let out flames. Fatty, you
owe me a new set of clothes.”
Ma Hongjun raised his head, looking at Tang San’s polished head,
speechless for a moment,
“Third brother, your hair and eyebrows……”
Dai Mubai grinned from the side, speaking in a low voice:
“Not just that, I expect even the down ……”
[1]

The rims of Ma Hongjun’s eyes clearly reddened. He of course

clearly knew about Tang San supporting him from behind, and now
seeing Tang San’s bald head naturally brought to mind what
happened before. Biting his lip, he resisted speaking any words of
thanks, only forcefully hugging Tang San again.
Ning Rongrong patted her forehead, speaking in a low voice,
“If Xiao Wu saw this, there might be a misunderstanding. Fatty, I’ll
take responsibility to inform you that third brother doesn’t swing that
way.”
Ma Hongjun raised his head to look at her,
“Rongrong, don’t call me Fatty again in the future. Your fourth
brother is no longer fat. I’m a standardized handsome guy. Ah. My
Xiangxiang?”
Releasing Tang San, his gaze very quickly found Bai Chenxiang
standing to the side, and he immediately ran towards her with arms
spread wide,
“Xiangxiang, did you see, I’m thin. This time I can suit you. We can
date.”
Bai Chenxiang snapped:
“It’s easier to change mountains and rivers than to alter your
character. Who would date you.”
While speaking, she quickly retreated two steps, dodging Ma
Hongjun’s bearhug.
Ma Hongjun didn’t force it either, losing weight had filled him with
confidence. Laughing loudly, he said,
“Doesn’t matter, I can wait. I’ll tell you every day, Chenxiang, go out
with me.”
Bai Chenxiang looked at him speechless, but a stubborn warmth
lingered in her heart. She rolled her eyes at him,
“Cultivate properly first. Once you’ve passed all the trials, I’ll
consider giving you a chance.”
Ma Hongjun stared wide eyed,
“Really?”
This was the first time he had directly heard Bai Chenxiang say she
was willing to go out with him. For a moment, he was immediately
overjoyed, turning his head to everyone behind him:
“Let’s go, let’s go, we’ll break through the trial. Let’s go now.”
“Come, little Fatty, big sister will properly look after you.”
Xiao Bai said maliciously to Fatty. Fatty’s phoenix flame that made
her restless simultaneously also woke her competitive spirit.
Tang San said:
“Xiao Bai, then I’ll trouble you to carefully look after Fatty for a
while.”
Ma Hongjun still didn’t have any experience of training in the water,
and really needed Xiao Bai’s “consideration” to increase his marine
fighting abilities better.
“Let’s go, we’ll enter the water.”
Dai Mubai roared, pulling Zhu Zhuqing, calling out to everyone and
directly charging into the ring sea. With Fatty promoted to Spirit
Sage level, he was immediately more confident.
Red light flashed, and Xiao Wu’s soul returned to her body. Led by
Tang San, seven people turned into seven silhouettes, practically
simultaneously throwing themselves into the ring sea. And Xiao Bai
also smiled delicately at them starting to act simultaneously, then
flipped into the ring sea, instantly resuming her Devil Spirit Great
White Shark King form and brazenly charging up to meet everyone.
Five minutes later…...
Peng—— A red silhouette smashed heavily onto the beach. Oscar
was finally no longer the first to be thrown out. In a daze, Fatty
vomited out big mouthfuls of seawater, with an appearance more
miserable than miserable.
Indeed, right now Fatty’s strength had made a qualitative leap, but
he still couldn’t really fight the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King
Xiao Bai in the ring sea. Suddenly entering underwater combat, it’d
be a strange if he could adapt. This was the ring sea, not the spirit
arena he could evaporate by half. Unable to adapt to underwater
combat, he was practically instantly sent out by Xiao Bai’s
“meticulous” consideration.
Fatty’s overwhelming excitement cooled off. He understood that in
order to pass this second trial, he still needed some time to learn.
However, no matter what, the current he was also considered having
stepped into the ranks of experts. He believed that, relying on the
burst power of his phoenix spirit, as long as he familiarized himself
with marine combat, he could definitely break through this trial
together with everyone.
Five months later…...
The Shrek Seven Devils quietly stood below the Seagod Mountain
before the ring sea, the roiling water seemed to be calling out for
them. Through that azure seawater, they could could clearly see
that, within that two hundred meter wide stretch of seawater,
headed by the giant Devil Spirit Great White Shark King Xiao Bai,
close to a thousand sea spirit beasts floating in the water, quietly
watching in their direction.
Another year had passed quickly. Even the youngest Zhu Zhuqing
had already passed her twenty second birthday. Indeed, in this
second year, the Shrek Seven Devils’ spirit power promotion speed
wasn’t as fast as in the first year, but in this year their combat
strength had undergone an enormous test in the ring sea. Constantly
wearing in, making those five years of separation a non issue. At this
moment, even if the seven devils didn’t look, they could still clearly
grasp the teamwork.
They had undergone their final seawater training three days ago.
Since then, the seven devils had cultivated for three days, specially
notifying Xiao Bai that, today, was the moment they attacked the
second trial.
The Shrek Seven Devils’ current spirit power ranks was:
Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai, seventy fourth rank power attack
type battle Spirit Sage.
Big Sausage Uncle Oscar, seventy second rank food system tool
Spirit Sage.
Thousand Hands Asura Tang San, seventy eighth rank control type
Battle Spirit Master.
Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun, seventy second rank power attack
type Battle Spirit Master.
Soft Bones Demon Rabbit Xiao Wu, spirit power unknown, physical
endurance increased, water combat capability substantially
increased.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Ning Rongrong, seventy second rank
support system tool Spirit Sage.
Hell Civet Zhu Zhuqing, seventy third rank agility attack type Battle
Spirit Master.
In terms of spirit power level, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma
Hongjun and Oscar had all risen two ranks. Ning Rongrong had
improved one rank. Since the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda
broke through the seventieth rank, the cultivation difficulty had clearly
increased, that’s why she only advanced one and a bit ranks. Even
so, Ning Rongrong was still very satisfied. She could deeply
remember how difficult it had been for her father to break through
each rank after seventy. Moreover, according to the circumstances
of last trial, passing the second trial should possible increase spirit
power by one rank. To higher rank Spirit Masters, this was already
quite a generous reward.
Tang San spoke in a low voice:
“Everyone get ready.”
Amidst a flash of red light, Xiao Wu’s soul floated out from his body,
returning to her own. However, ever since Xiao Wu’s sacrifice, her
body had no longer manifested spirit rings, only her previous abilities
could still be used.
Their spirit released practically simultaneously. Advancing two
hundred meters through seawater, to the present swimming ability of
the Shrek Seven Devils, was quite simple, but the opponents they
had to face was anything but. Even if the ring sea didn’t seam wide,
this constrained area actually limited their movement space.
Confronting several hundred sea spirit beasts of all sorts of levels,
their path forward would be practically completely sealed. And the
greatest challenge blocking their way in this second trial was
naturally the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King Xiao Bai. If they
couldn’t pass Xiao Bai’s blockade, they wouldn’t be able to reach the
other shore. Even though Xiao Bai wouldn’t attack them all out, she
would still stop them from completing their trial with all her strength.
With her in control, the sea spirit beasts in the ring sea was like an
iron wall. In their previous eleven months of training, none of them
had ever reached more than a hundred meters across the sea.
“Let’s go.”
Tang San shouted deeply, and the seven launched simultaneously,
diving into the sea like seven swimming fish.
In the ring sea, Xiao Bai had long since made her preparations. She
understood from the imposing manner with which the Shrek Seven
Devils courageously advanced that today’s battle wouldn’t be as
simple as before, these inland humans would truly assault her
second trial barrier.
The instant the seven devils leapt out, Ma Hongjun’s entire body
erupted with golden red light, and his standard sized body instantly
expanded, transforming into a seven headed phoenix with dazzlingly
beautiful tail flames, diving straight into the ring sea.
At the same time, Tang San gripped Xiao Wu’s slender waist, while
the other four ate a mushroom shaped sausage, their figures
transforming in midair, instantly gathering behind Ma Hongjun and
forming a straight line with Ma Hongjun charging furthest ahead.
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda light sparkled, and spirit power,
attribute and defense boosts all landed simultaneously on Ma
Hongjun, making his phoenix flame even more resplendent.
Even though that ring sea water was filled with a kind of magic
force, the instant Ma Hongjun incarnated as the seven headed
phoenix broke into it, the seawater around him instantly vaporized,
and moreover dispersed to either side by the tremendous energy
erupting from his body.
The position Ma Hongjun chose was close under that restricting light
barrier, and consequently, after the seawater was pushed away,
there would be no water pushing down from above, actually creating
a space free of water. The seawater vaporized as he hurriedly flew
forward, leaving a channel behind him.
And the other six rushed into it in this instant. Tang San held Xiao Wu
to fly, while behind the other four appeared translucent wings, they
followed closely behind while sticking close to the surface of the light
barrier.
Xiao Bai watching from the depths of the ring sea couldn’t help being
distracted a moment. Due to inertia of thought, she originally thought
the Shrek Seven Devils would dive into the sea as usual, and directly
confront her and the other sea spirit beasts in combat while looking
for a chance to break through. But she never thought the seven
devils would actually use a clever plan like this.
Indeed, the Shrek Seven Devils were quite good at swimming now,
but no matter how good they were in the water, it was still
impossible to directly challenge sea spirit beasts. Even faster
movement wouldn’t be faster than flying. And right now, through the
flying mushroom sausage as well as Fatty’s red hot phoenix flame
opening the way, once the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King Xiao
Bai reacted, they had already penetrated sixty meters into the ring
sea, and moreover because of the sea spirit beast formation being
spread out all around in the seawater, they actually hadn’t met any
hindrance.
White light erupted from Tang San, turning into an oval halo of light,
just in time to shroud all seven on their side, while the light furthest
ahead formed a point that increased Ma Hongjun’s forward charge
yet again, it was the Deathgod Domain’s evolved ability, Deathgod
Assault.
At the same time, intense killing intent abruptly spread out through
the Deathgod Domain, making those spirit beasts closest to them
and first to react delay from alarm, not daring to get too close.
Soon, the Shrek Seven Devils’ straight line formation would break
through the seventy meter line. In fact, with the atmosphere from
Ning Rongrong now boosting Ma Hongjun, they wouldn’t be
influenced by the seawater at all, and Fatty whose burst power was
originally incomparable could naturally charge with even more
flourishing force.
Xiao Bai was a bit angry, thinking, these humans really are sly, they
actually want to use a method like this to pass the trial?

Notes
1. Down - A sort-of-pun, Dai Mubai uses the word (鸟毛) which should
reasonably translate to “bird feathers”, referring to the previous pages of
plumage descriptions, but the latter character can equally refer to hair or fur,
while “bird” is also slang for penis.
 233 – Phoenix Domain

Intense blue gray light suddenly erupted from its body, and the
surrounding seawater churned in practically an instant, the immense
light blending into the entire ring sea. The momentum of Ma
Hongjun’s charge was immediately slowed by the light in the water in
that moment.
Devil Shark Domain, the domain of the Devil Spirit Great White
Shark King Xiao Bai. If it was launched, the seawater within its
range could be controlled like a part of her body. And the immensity
of the energy it contained, plus the mutual restraint of fire and water,
naturally slowed Fatty’s forward momentum.
Even though the phoenix flame’s intensity was more pure than Xiao
Bai’s energy, the gap in strength between them was enough to offset
the attribute difference between fire and water. Even under Ning
Rongrong’s boost, Fatty still couldn’t change the circumstances.
At the same time as the domain erupted, Xiao Bai’s enormous body
swayed in the water, conducting all the spirit beasts to charge
towards the Shrek Seven Devils from below, and at the same time
used the domain to control the seawater to squeeze in close. She
absolutely didn’t believe Ma Hongjun could contend with the ocean
her domain controlled with his strength alone.
Indeed, it was of course impossible for Ma Hongjun alone to contend
with the hundred thousand year power Devil Spirit Great White
Shark King, but he wasn’t alone!
Golden light erupted, and the last among the seven devils suddenly
accelerated, sweeping past the leading people and reaching Ma
Hongjun’s side, equally exploding with golden red light, equally
transforming into a giant phoenix. Even if his luster couldn’t compare
to Fatty, and also only had one phoenix head, the instant rise in
phoenix flame still helped Fatty withstand the immense pressure
coming through the seawater, and the originally delayed speed
increased once again, opening up the water forward. They had
already passed the eighty meter mark of the ring sea.
This was…… Xiao Bai’s eyes grew wide. She discovered that she
had once again made the mistake of inertial thinking.
The one suddenly releasing phoenix flames was exactly Oscar. In
the past he had always used clone mirror sausages made from Dai
Mubai’s blood, but this time he nevertheless chose to eat one made
from Ma Hongjun’s blood. Before entering the water, he had already
eaten his seventh spirit ability, Erect Gold Fly. Now further relying on
the effect of the Clone Mirror Sausage, the phoenix flame he
released wasn’t any weaker than Ma Hongjun’s, only its attribute
was a bit inferior due to only having one head.
At the same time as Oscar charged, Ning Rongrong’s three boosts
equally shot out through her heart separation control, falling on
Oscar. Relying on the two’s explosive phoenix flames, they
stubbornly blocked the erupting energy of Xiao Bai’s domain. Even if
their speed forward still wasn’t as fast as at the beginning, they also
didn’t stop.
And at the same moment, Ma Hongjun did something that made Xiao
Bai extremely angry, and also extremely astonished. Transformed
into Spirit Avatar, his seven phoenix heads rose simultaneously, and
seven golden red rings of light were released into the air and fused
together, suddenly spreading out.
This fused golden red ring of light didn’t completely change the
seawater below him, but it still turned the water in range golden red,
just like lava close beneath. This scene had just appeared when the
seven devils’ speed forward increased once again, and in practically
a moment they had approached the hundred meter mark they had
never reached before.
Domain, this was the power of a domain. The pupils of Xiao Bai’s
eyes suddenly contracted. This fellow actually dares use a domain
to fight me in my own domain? And moreover, he never used this
domain before!
Indeed, the ring of light Ma Hongjun’s seven headed phoenix
released was his domain. Ordinary Spirit Masters could only awaken
domains when they reached the Title Douluo level. This was the
greatest benefit the ten headed fierce yang serpent gave him, called
Seven Headed Fire Phoenix. The domain fully unfolded. Within
range, any non-living matter was assimilated by the phoenix flame.
When Ma Hongjun used the domain in Spirit Avatar state, within the
domain, his phoenix flame’s fire attribute rose by fifty percent, and
unless the domain was broken, he possessed an undying body within
its range, and could be reborn from the rest of the phoenix flame at
any time.
That he possessed the domain was something Ma Hongjun had only
secretly informed Tang San after he obtained the seventh spirit ring,
he hadn’t even told his other companions. He looked straightforward
on the surface, but was actually inwardly extremely meticulous. The
trials they experienced were so difficult, and revealing his newly
obtained ability could let them win through by a surprise move. It
was exactly because of this that Tang San had formulated the
current strategy over the last three days.
The Seven Headed Fire Phoenix Domain appeared, and its first
effect was to completely block those sea spirit beasts outside, the
terrifying flame aura forcing them to stay away, not daring to charge.
Due to this second trial being conducted by the Devil Spirit Great
White Shark King Xiao Bai, there actually wasn’t any other
formidable sea spirit beasts in the ring sea. This might be a kind of
balance for the trial. And in fact, Xiao Bai alone was scary enough.
Even though she wouldn’t use fatal attacks in the ring sea, her
strength was enough to block the equivalent of several Title Douluo
level sea Spirit Masters. Passing was easier said than done.
Especially when all of Tang San’s spirit abilities as well as Ning
Rongrong’s seventh spirit ability were sealed.
Faced with the obstruction of the domain Xiao Bai released, Fatty
released his the domain he received from the seventh spirit ring for
the first time. Seven Headed Fire Phoenix.
The reason the seven devils could currently advance swiftly was
naturally also because of Ma Hongjun’s domain. Within the range of
the Seven Headed Fire Phoenix domain, the sea became fire
attributed, and even though it wasn’t true lava, it was still absolutely
out of Xiao Bai’s control. Xiao Bai was even more exceptionally
angry from Fatty daring to use a fire attributed domain to contend
against her within the ring sea. In fact, releasing mutually restricting
domains in such an environment had extremely frightening spirit
power consumption. Ma Hongjun absolutely couldn’t persist for long.
But the Shrek Seven Devils never fought alone. Oscar had long since
made sausages, and Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile
Pagoda boosted, both allowing Fatty’s ability to show its fullest
effect. At the same time as he released his domain, he had already
eaten a stimulating pink sausage. Even more importantly, he also
has Tang San planning strategies.
For one year’s time, the Shrek Seven Devils had almost always
spent their time contending against Xiao Bai. They could be said to
have a perfectly clear understanding of Xiao Bai’s strength. Under
such circumstances, how could Tang San fail to make accurate
calculations? He’d long since planned for the worst. That they could
currently charge up to a hundred meters was already beyond his
expectations.
Weng—— The ring sea vibrated violently. In Xiao Bai’s anger, blue
crystalline ripples spread from her forehead, directly chasing the
Shrek Seven Devils. And simultaneously, the blue grey light erupting
from her body grew explosively stronger, all the water in the entire
ring sea condensing as if solid. Rather than carefully targeting the
Shrek Seven Devils, even the other sea spirit beasts in the water
were unable to move in this seawater trap.
That’s right, Tang San’s domains had evolved abilities, and the
hundred thousand year sea spirit beast Xiao Bai equally had her
evolved ability. The blue grey light emanating from her was precisely
her Devil Shark Domain evolved ability, Solidification. This was also
the strongest method Xiao Bai used to stop the Shrek Seven Devils.
The blue ripples she released from her head weren’t just the domain
ability, but rather the special mental attack that once almost ended
Tang San, called Despair Light Wave. If enemies were enveloped by
the light wave, they would be unable to move, and moreover, all their
spirit abilities would be briefly sealed, like fish on the chopping
board, ready for Xiao Bai to butcher them.
At the same time as she released the two formidable abilities, Xiao
Bai’s enormous body also moved. In practically a flash she had
already charged over to the Shrek Seven Devils. The position she
chose was extremely clever, not facing Ma Hongjun and Oscar head
on, but rather the person boosting them from the middle position,
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong was undoubtedly the weakest among the seven
devils, but her strength was also the most irreplaceable. With her
boosts, everyone’s strength could comprehensively rise by at least
fifty percent. For some special capabilities she could even boost
them by a frightening eighty percent intensity.
This wasn’t the time to play around. Xiao Bai’s extremely plentiful
battle experience made her choose the most optimum target for
attack.
From strengthening the domain, to releasing the Despair Light Wave,
and again to moving to attack, the three different actions could be
said to instantly erupt with her hundred thousand year spirit beast
formidable strength. Without such strength, how could she always
have kept the Shrek Seven Devils from reaching a hundred meters.
However, the seven devils Xiao Bai confronted this time were clearly
different from before.
The seawater suddenly solidifying indeed did make everyone slow
down, but it didn’t completely halt them like she imagined.
Even though releasing the Seven Headed Phoenix Domain in the sea
was enormously exhausting to Fatty, the result was extremely
valiant. Even faced with Xiao Bai’s evolved domain ability, that lava-
like domain still kept pushing forward.
And the moment Xiao Bai’s Despair Light Wave charged, she also
suffered the seven devils’ attack. The person who launched their
attack was no other than the soul of the Shrek Seven Devils, the
undisputed leader, with all spirit ring abilities completely sealed, Tang
San.
Two beams of deeply purple golden rays of light shot towards Xiao
Bai, those rays just passed through the Despair Light Wave and
bombarded straight towards Xiao Bai’s forehead.
When she just saw those purple golden rays, Xiao Bai was
unconcerned. With a body with a hundred thousand years of
cultivation, she basically didn’t need to mind some attacks. However,
she very quickly discovered her mistake. Because that purple golden
light didn’t seem to suffer any of the seawater’s refraction, on the
contrary, as the light came closer and closer to her, she could clearly
feel her senses that could originally encompass the entire ring sea
grow sluggish.
Spiritual attack? Even a quite high level spiritual attack. Xiao Bai
finally made the correct judgement in the next moment. Even though
she was arrogant, she absolutely wasn’t a fool. Her spiritual force
was very formidable, and she understood clearly the terrifying
aftereffects of some spiritual attacks. Especially this charged up
dense spiritual attack Tang San launched made her feel an even
greater sense of danger.
Of course, Xiao Bai wasn’t afraid that Tang San’s Purple God Light
could harm her, while using the Despair Light Wave, it was
practically impossible for Tang San to injure her in a spiritual force
clash. However, she clearly knew that, even if Tang San couldn’t
harm her, even a strategy that would harm him by one thousand and
her by eight hundred would be enough to make her briefly dizzy.
Even if Tang San would injure himself even more severely, her being
dizzy would mean her domain would temporarily disappear.
Dizziness also meant delay. Relying on Ma Hongjun and Oscar to
now open up the path forward, they could quickly advance. If her
domain didn't block them, just one or two seconds or dizziness would
very possibly be enough to let these fellows break through the
blockade and charge to the other shore.
Xiao Bai of course wouldn’t let the Shrek Seven Devils pass this trial
so smoothly. If she did, she’d lose her job. Helplessly, she could only
give up on using the Despair Light Wave to restrain them, and again
beat out an impulse in the ring sea. Under her perfect control, the
Despair Light Wave suddenly contracted, pressuring towards Tang
San’s Purple God Light. At the same time it turned into a point
attack, a targeted strike on Tang San.
Now, Xiao Bai’s impulse, without slowing down, charged into Ma
Hongjun’s Seven Headed Fire Phoenix Domain. She clearly saw the
corners of Tang San’s mouth seem to show a faint smile.
What was he smiling about? This thought had only just appeared in
Xiao Bai’s mind, when she immediately discovered her mistake, and
a heartfelt panicked feeling filled her whole body. She seemed to
lose her connection with the ring sea that was previously completely
under her control, and the surrounding incomparably got aura made
her mind shudder uncontrollably. Not only did her momentum forward
abruptly come to a halt, but the Despair Light Wave was influenced
by Tang San’s single target attack and weakened considerably.
With a soft rippling sound, Tang San gave a muffled groan in the sea,
blood flowing from all seven apertures simultaneously, flowing out
like little snakes, he turned pale, and temporarily lost his eyesight.
Xiao Bai’s spiritual force was after all far too much stronger than his,
and even though it was considerably weakened by simultaneously
entering his and Ma Hongjun’s domain, it still put Tang San at a
disadvantage.
Xiao Bai’s enormous body also paused because of the spiritual force
shock. However, this was also a feeling that roused her. The Devil
Shark Domain that had just relaxed was reinforced again. The aura
within the Seven Headed Phoenix Domain made her extremely
uncomfortable, but even so, she still didn’t immediately withdraw.
With a shake, her shark tail whipped straight towards Ning
Rongrong. This attack was not only incomparably fast, but
furthermore extremely powerful. If she was directly hit, Ning
Rongrong would immediately lose her ability to fight. But the seven
devils undoubtedly couldn’t give up on her, otherwise it would be
impossible for Ning Rongrong to successfully cross the sea with her
strength alone. Xiao Bai was attacking the one person the enemies
had to save, it was the best way to break the seven devils’ chance
to pass.
However, her shark tail attack came unfulfilled. Because, a fiery red
silhouette abruptly charged up, and just as the shark tail swung, it
forcefully grabbed on.

……
“Little Ao, as you and Fatty open up the path, after Fatty releases
his domain, Xiao Bai will definitely get embarrassed into a rage and
launch an attack. And her target will definitely be Rongrong. Your
clone body will be put in use at this point. If I guess correctly, in
order for Xiao Bai to not truly harm Rongrong, she definitely won’t
use energy attacks, but rather use her valiant body. The shark tail is
the most likely. At this time, you use your clone body to stop her.”

……
As the clone body held tightly to Xiao Bai’s shark tail and brazenly
self detonated, Oscar couldn’t keep Tang San’s plan from echoing in
his mind. When he saw Xiao Bai swing her shark tail, he couldn’t
help feeling like prostrating himself in admiration for Tang San’s
foresight.
The clone body Oscar made from the clone mirror sausage
possessed eighty percent of his ability, and in his present state, he
had a hundred percent of Ma Hongjun’s spirit power. Even though
the clone body wouldn’t get Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed
Tile Pagoda boost, the might of the body brimming with phoenix
flame suddenly exploding was terrifying. Especially as that phoenix
flame contained a naturally restraining effect to Xiao Bai.
With a loud explosion, the surrounding seawater vaporized. The
shark tail Xiao Bai swung out was blasted back, and even though
she wasn’t truly harmed, the scorching phoenix flame entered her
body, and she felt no better than if she was set on fire.
Anger filled Xiao Bai’s body and heart. Held back in all respects, the
strength that was completely above the Shrek Seven Devils was
completely unable to come out at all, so how could she not be
angry?
With this brief delay, the Shrek Seven Devils were already more than
halfway, having reached one hundred thirty meters. The closer they
got to shore, the larger the variables would be, this bit was
something Xiao Bai of course understood. However, under such
circumstances, her body still halted for a moment.
Grey blue light burst from the tip of her nose to cover her whole
body. She had numerous comprehensive attack methods that could
stop the Shrek Seven Devils, but those attacks were too powerful.
One mistake and it would take their lives. Therefore, she had no
choice but to use other methods.
As that grey blue light spread, Xiao Bai’s body suddenly grew
crystalline. Her white skin turned completely transparent blue grey,
and the surrounding seawater suddenly halted under the influence of
a peculiar aura. The Devil Shark Domain’s third evolution completed,
this time it wasn’t just solidifying, but rather truly turning substantial.
To be precise, it should be called the Devil Shark Domain’s third
evolved ability, Crystallization.
The entire ring sea was like an enormous blue gem. Besides Xiao
Bai, anyone trying to break through would be hindered by water as
hard as crystal. If it was in the seawater, Xiao Bai could rely on this
third evolution to completely annihilate groups of enemies. All that
was needed was a simple squeeze. Even if the Shrek Seven Devils
had now set up a channel of air, moving forward was extremely
difficult, they had to break the crystal to advance. And being able to
move freely within the domain, she could completely treat these
fellows as sitting ducks. Even to the extent that she could use the
changes in the domain to move the pocket of air with the people
inside back to the shores of the Seagod Mountain.
Lights flashing before his eyes, even if his mind felt like a pincushion,
when Tang San saw everything before them he grew happy rather
than alarmed. I’ve been waiting for your domain’s third evolution.
Such a form had been seen in their previous fights, and by exploiting
all kinds of coercion he had finally forced Xiao Bai to use it.
“Fatty, little Ao, rest. Mubai, Zhuqing, begin. Rongrong, boost me.”
A series of calm declarations came from Tang San’s mouth.
Indeed, the ring sea crystallizing had indeed made it very even more
difficult for the Shrek Seven Devils to advance, but at the same time
they also lacked the threat of being submerged in water.
Even though everyone had conducted combat with Xiao Bai in the
sea for the past year, that didn’t mean they would do the same when
they finally tried to pass. As land Spirit Masters, no matter how they
refined their marine combat cultivation, it was still only with their feet
firmly planted on the ground that they could exert their greatest
strength. Furthermore, in the whole process of cultivating with Xiao
Bay, in order to forge themselves even better, the seven devil had
always held back a bit.
The light from Ma Hongjun and Oscar faded simultaneously, and the
two no longer charged forward, and after returning to their original
forms they immediately ate several of Oscar’s big recovery
sausages. In fact, Oscar was currently still under the influence of the
Erect Gold Fly. The big recovery sausages he made were a lot more
effective than ordinarily.
At the same time, Ning Rongrong stopped her boost to them.
Golden light flashed in her hand. Even though she was a bit unwilling,
she still ate three Erect Gold Flies in succession. That was equal to
the effect of three of Oscar’s Spirit Avatars! Perhaps only a food
system Spirit Master’s spirit avatar could be used in this way. With
each Erect Gold Fly Ning Rongrong ate, a line of resplendent light
would issue from her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. With the
bright light as foundation, each contained a gold hazy speck of light.
All three lines of light simultaneously fell on Tang San.
White light condensed, no longer spreading to their companions, but
focused only on him. Xiao Wu leapt aside, watching Tang San a bit
nervously.
The Clear Sky Hammer entering his hand, Tang San began to dance
while bathed in Ning Rongrong’s three resplendent lights. The tips of
his left foot’s toes stuck to the ground, his body instantly spinning
half a turn, the Clear Sky Hammer quietly swung out, black light
flashed, unexpectedly without the slightest wave of spirit power.
Even more frightening, at Tang San’s turn, with the tips of his toes as
center, countless fine cracks began to spread out in all directions
through the crystallized and extremely solid seawater.
And on the other end, Xiao Bai confronted her biggest problem since
she met the Shrek Seven Devils.
White and black fused together in that not very large space. The
next instant, an incomparably dazzling light abruptly burst out. Even
though that bright light was unable to break through the protective
barrier formed from Seagod’s power at her forehead, within the
crystallized ring sea, with them as center, the deep blue seawater
turned to powder and began to swiftly melt.
The light constantly spread, the pressure so enormous even Xiao Bai
had no time to mind them. She could clearly see Tang San’s motions
on the other side, but she couldn’t afford the distraction of stopping
him. It had been a long time since she had experienced a choking
feeling like the one exploding from the black and white blended light
in front. The incomparable pressure actually made this Devil Spirit
Great White Shark King shiver, forcing her to back up to store up
strength.
The pupils of her eyes contracting, Xiao Bai clearly saw that, at the
same time as that black and white light gradually fused, a fifteen
meter long, eight meter high giant winged tiger, glittering all over with
black illusory magic lines, appear in front of her.
Each magic line on its body distributed an aura so frightening it was
difficult to describe, and in its surroundings, both the air as well as
the seawater in Xiao Bai’s Devil Shark Domain distorted slightly, the
giant ‘king’ (王) character on its forehead was even more like a
strange eye, radiating endless darkness.
This, what was this? Xiao Bai looked foolishly at this incomparably
immense black striped white tiger, and for a moment a feeling close
to inferiority arose in her heart.
However, she was after all a hundred thousand year spirit beast,
one of the tyrants of the vast oceans. After being briefly startled,
she very quickly returned to her senses. Whatever this was, it was
nothing to fear in her domain.
Along with the grey blue light suddenly rising, the smashed domain
began to reform, squeezing towards that giant white tiger. Due to
this enormous white tiger pressuring her head on, she currently
couldn’t spare the power to control Tang San and the others.
This giant white tiger was naturally Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing using
Spirit Avatar to form the Hell White Tiger, and it was also the true
meaning of the Hell White Tiger. This was their true strength, the
killing weapon of the Shrek Seven Devils. This one move had always
been saved for now, prepared to pass the trial. Nevermind that Xiao
Bai hadn’t seen it, even the Shrek Seven Devils, even Dai Mubai and
Zhu Zhuqing themselves didn’t know to what frightening degree of
power the Hell White Tiger could reach in this condition.
Humph—— A deep muffled snort came from the Hell White Tiger.
The next moment, one of its foreclaws already swatted out, and
instantly, deep black light spread out in a ring. Where it passed, the
crystallized water beneath it actually turned back to water. Its
enormous body pounced straight towards Xiao Bai. The momentum
of this leap was world shaking. Xiao Bai only felt like she was locked
in place by this giant white tiger, everything in her surroundings
dulled, and seemed to become unreal. Her mind couldn’t completely
spread out even when drawing support from the domain.
An incomparably immense pressure made Xiao Bai choke. In a
crisis, she could no longer pay mind to the restriction of not truly
harming the seven devils. Her body swung in the sea, and ray after
ray of blue grey light condensed around her, several dozen lines of
blue grey light exploding out like sharp teeth. It was Devil Shark’s
Teeth.
However, the same ability, against different opponents, would
produce different results. This ability that had once almost ended
Tang San’s life, in front of the Hell White Tiger, did nothing.
Confronting the Devil Shark’s Teeth attack, the entire Hell White
Tiger suddenly grew illusory. Next, its two forepaws crossed and
slapped out, basically without any intent of dodging, stiffly colliding
head on.
Berserk energy constantly exploded in the sea. At the heart of the
collision, all kinds of crystalline shards splashed out. The final result
left everyone taken aback.
Xiao Bai’s giant body was directly slapped back by the Hell White
Tiger, flying back several dozen meters, tumbling in the seawater.
Since her body wouldn’t be influenced by the crystallized seawater, a
lot of the momentum was dispersed, but even so, Xiao Bai was
dazed by this one slap. But she also knew that the Hell White Tiger’s
slap was going easy on her, because when she was hit, it still didn’t
eject its claws. Otherwise, a few deep wounds would have been left
on her body.
This, how was this possible? To Xiao Bai, everything that happened
was too difficult to believe. As a hundred thousand year spirit beast,
a respected overlord of the sea, she was actually beaten off by land
Spirit Masters, and was almost injured to boot.
The Hell White Tiger attentively watched Xiao Bai, roaring once, but
didn’t pursue, only using its enormous body to block the other five of
the Shrek Seven Devils, its concise gaze locked on Xiao Bai with an
extremely formidable pressure.
Back then, in the Star Dou Great Forest, Ghost Douluo and
Chrysanthemum Douluo had relied on their spirit fusion ability to trap
two of the continent’s first rate hundred thousand year spirit beasts,
the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Serpent. With their Title
Douluo level this was all they could accomplish. In the ocean, Devil
Spirit Great White Shark King Xiao Bai’s strength absolutely wouldn’t
be worse than the Sky Blue Bull Serpent and Titan Giant Ape. Even
if Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing used the spirit fusion ability, with their
Spirit Avatar strength, they still shouldn’t have the strength to beat
back Xiao Bai in her domain.
That was also fact, it was impossible for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing
to compete with Xiao Bai, not even as the Hell White Tiger. This was
the sea, Xiao Bai’s world. The reason they could beat back Xiao Bai
in one hit and seemed to gain the conclusive advantage, was actually
all the result of all sorts of factors coming together in Tang San’s
plan.
In order to break through, the Shrek Seven Devils had actually
already begun to prepare as early as half a month ago. Recovering
in the last three days was just to draw up the final details and
recover to their peak condition. Oscar naturally wouldn’t prepare
Erect Gold Flies only for Tang San and Ning Rongrong.
Neither Dai Mubai or Zhu Zhuqing had acted since entering the ring
sea, and that was for the sake of this attack. For this strike, they
had not only used the spirit fusion ability, but equally each eaten
three sausages in advance, they just did so very secretly and
weren’t noticed by Xiao Bai.
The three sausages they ate were the stimulating pink sausage, limit
surpassing dark green sausage, as well as erect gold fly.
Whether the stimulating pink sausage or limit surpassing dark green
sausage, both were optimum sausages produced by Oscar under
the effect of Erect Gold Fly. Thus, in the attack just now, the Hell
White Tiger that originally had the strength of an ordinary Title
Douluo, erupted with close to two hundred percent strength.
Condensing all strength on this one attack, on the surface it seemed
like they had easily broken Xiao Bai’s Devil Shark’s Teeth, and
moreover sent her flying. Judging by the situation, they completely
held the advantage.
But doing this only had one purpose, to screen Tang San behind
them. This was also why the one Ning Rongrong boosted wasn’t
them, but rather targeted Tang San.
Xiao Bai was a bit timid. For so many years, in this great sea,
besides that particularly formidable Deep Sea Devil Whale King,
there had never been a creature that made her feel so powerless.
Confronting the Hell White Tiger built as large as her, her confidence
gradually collapsed. And what she hadn’t seen was that, behind the
Hell White Tiger’s giant body, Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer was
just swinging like a spinning wheel, and the superimposed strength
from each of his swings was completely frozen in his surroundings,
without a drop leaking. After Ning Rongrong ate the Erect Gold Fly,
the suddenly one hundred fifty percent improved boost ability was
completely used on Tang San.
Starting from when Ma Hongjun split open the sea, the Shrek Seven
Devils’ goal wasn’t only to swiftly move forward, even more
important was to let Ning Rongrong’s boost ability display
completely. Without the separation of the seawater, the effect of the
three great boost abilities Ning Rongrong currently overlayed on
Tang San was eighty percent plus forty percent, altogether one
hundred twenty percent more. Further adding the constantly layering
of Tang San’s Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, the
surroundings of that black Clear Sky Hammer was already covered
with line after line of frightening black lightning, extremely unstable.
Even when simultaneously releasing the two great domains, even
Tang San wasn’t quite able to endure this frightening energy.
Roar—— The Hell White Tiger issued a threatening growl in Xiao
Bai’s direction. The blood and qi within Xiao Bai’s body was still
rolling, the place where she was previously struck still aching dully.
She wanted to charge forward, but seeing the Hell White Tiger’s
enormous tiger paws, she was still a bit hesitant.
 234 – The Third Test, Tidal Body
Refining

It was because of such hesitation that Xiao Bai removed her domain
before she attacked again, and let the other spirit beasts retreat
rapidly -- the process of releasing and retrieving wasted several
seconds of time.
However, Xiao Bai suddenly found that the huge white tiger in front
of her seemed to be somewhat different, as if its body wasn’t as
concrete as before. Even though the energy around it looked still
formidable, the body itself was transforming into a transparent form.
Xiao Bai had been cultivating in the sea for over a hundred thousand
years after all, in a flash, she woke up immediately.
She was taken in! They should have had nothing but the force of one
blow! Having realized that, she threw herself on the Hell White Tiger
immediately. However, it was still too late. The instant she moved,
Tang San’s Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer had already completed
nine by nine times which concentrated into one.
A kind of peculiar silence swept over the ring form sea: the moving
body of Xiao Bai paused suddenly; the huge Hell White Tiger split off
and turned into the two of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
A silver light flashed on the corner of Xiao Wu’s mouth -- a silver
sausage entering her stomach. Then a blue golden splendor burst
out and turned into six ropes, wrapping around the other six people’s
bodies. Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun restrained his phoenix flame, while
Oscar took his silver sausage, on whose bodies white splendor rose
up.
Hong——
Finally, the Clear Sky Hammer exploded, black light surrounded by
countless snake-like lightning bolts, like a huge dragon in furious
billows. Even though the crystallized seawater was already very
hard, confronting the roaring black dragon, it crumbled to dust
immediately. The intense black light broke through the constraints of
the domain, penetrated and flew out of the ring form sea from the
other side. Cracking sounds spread out, and the ring form sea
seemed to rupture -- countless cracks scattering with astonishing
speed.
Relying on his own spirit power, Oscar and Ning Rongrong’s
powerful auxiliary spirit abilities and Clear Sky Clan’s formidable
hammer skill, Tang San smashed a way out of difficulty.
Xiao Bai felt nothing but an irresistible huge force bursting out, not
aimed at her but at her domain. Even if her domain was already at
the third stage, at that moment, she still found herself losing every
connection with the sea except the darkness before her eyes.
Domains were connected with owners. Since her domain was
broken, Xiao Bai inevitably suffered huge impact. Blood was spat out
from her huge mouth, dyeing the broken sea water with red. She
fainted completely. It wasn’t long, but it was enough for the Shrek
Seven Devils.
Nowadays on earth, what was the fastest spirit? Undoubtedly, it was
Needle-Tailed Swift, which belonged to the Speed Clan of Tang Sect.
Although the spirit power of Bai Chenxiang was just rank fifty, and
her spirit abilities were merely four, her speed outmatched everyone
in the Shrek Seven Devils. The sausages Ma Hongjun and Oscar had
taken was mixed with Bai Chenxiang’s blood, made by Oscar after
taking the Erect Gold Fly.
White swings spread out behind their backs. Although it looked a
little discordant, it was the fastest way they could adopt at this very
moment.
After taking the sausage made of Tang San’s blood, Xiao Wu
became a bridge to connect everybody with the blue silver emperor.
While Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who were least exhausted, served as
the best boosters, took Tang San, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and
Dai Mubai all together out. The next moment, the exhausted Shrek
Seven Devils were already a hundred meters away.
Seven silhouettes dashed out of ring form sea in disorder. The
instant they flew out, the ring form sea behind them collapsed with a
loud crash, amidst terrifying waves and deafening explosive sounds.
Lying on the beach, everyone was gasping deeply. In order to break
through the blocking of Xiao Bai, they tried their best. Perfect plans,
from lure to deceit, a variety of abilities that Xiao Bai had never seen
before, all became their magic weapons, which led them to victory.
With a splashing sound, the huge head of Xiao Bai broke the sea
surface, when the light curtain on the sea was already dying down.
Staring at the seven humans who were lying on the beach and
gasping excitedly, Xiao Bai couldn't help saying angrily. “Cunning
guys. You’d better pray that you won’t meet me again in the later
tests, or I promise you will be in an embarrassing situation. ”
Oscar got up off the beach, laughed and wove his hand -- a string of
big sausages was thrown to Xiao Bai, “Let's put the matter aside for
the time being. Take them first.”
Xiao Bai caught the sausage and took them. Seeing Oscar’s smile,
she didn’t know why the anger in her mind calmed down a little.
Tang San also got up, standing next to Oscar, “Xiao Bai, sorry, we
were forced to harm you.”
Xiao Bai snorted twice, but feeling the benefit the Recovery Large
Sausages brought to her wound, the corner of her mouth quivered a
little -- she wanted to scold them again but stopped.
The other people also got up successively, came next to Tang San
and Oscar. Looking at each other, they suddenly bowed to Xiao Bai
in the ring form sea simultaneously, till ninety degree.
“Thank you, Xiao Bai.”
When they straightened their backs, Xiao Bai could see the sincere
smiles on their faces.
They...Are they thanking me from their heart? Xiao Bai looked at
these humans. An emotion that had never existed before was
streaming through her heart.
“I don’t want to talk to you boring guys any more. I’m leaving. The
later tests won’t be easier either. Take care of yourself.” The voice
of Xiao Bai resounded above the sea surface, when she had already
turned back and swum into the ring form sea. Her body wiggled
several times and disappeared as quickly as an arrow.
Seeing the leaving view of Xiao Bai’s back, Shrek Seven Devils felt
somewhat lost. In the last year, Xiao Bai had been not only testing
them, but actually accompanying them on their cultivation. Without
Xiao Bai, their cooperation and battle skills in the sea wouldn’t have
been growing this rapidly. For them, Xiao Bai was not only a teacher
but also a friend. Therefore, they were sincerely thanking Xiao Bai
for her help.
At this time, seven rays of light appeared on Seven Shrek Devils’
forehead simultaneously. The one on Tang San’s forehead was the
golden trident mark, which projected the second light screen of Sea
God Nine Tests, broke immediately, transformed into light spots and
blended into his body. The screens Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu
projected were blood color and the other four were black.
“Skillfully integrating companions’ abilities, giving play to a more
powerful strength, and breaking through the defense of hundred
thousand year Devil Spirit Great White Shark King. Seagod’s
Second Trial, Pass. Sea God Affinity increased by five percent. Total
affinity: ten percent.”
Mild golden light swept through the whole body, but this time it was
different from the first test. Although Tang San felt his spirit power
hadn’t recovered, his spiritual world injured by Xiao Bai became
clear and bright suddenly, even more smooth than before. His
spiritual force increased visibly and his entire body was bathed in a
layer of blue splendor, which permeated his skin gradually.
That was by no means the light of Blue Silver Emperor. It was full of
water attribute aura.
The others got the same rewards as in the first test and their spirit
power increased by a rank. Besides that, Ning Rongrong additionally
got all her spirit rings increase by five hundred years cultivation, and
thus her first spirit ring became purple. What Xiao Wu got was still a
simple “Rewards superimposed”.
The instant the second test rewards appeared, the third test had
already showed up in everyone’s mind.
“Tidal Body Refining? What’s that mean?” Oscar asked in perplexity.
Tang San said, “It seems that our third tests are the same, I have
Tidal Body Refining too. But like the first trial, Seagod’s Light, I have
Twofold Tidal Body Refining.”
“You will know the meaning of Tidal Body Refining soon. Follow me.”
A leisurely voice came. Unconsciously, the noble Seagod Douluo Bo
Saixi in red had already appeared next to them, looking at the seven
people before her eyes, she showed visible praise in her eyes. It
was obvious that she was delighted with the result that Shrek Seven
Devils had all passed the second test.
After saying that, Bo Saixi turned and walked to the opposite
direction of Seagod Mountain. Her speed wasn’t fast, but every step
of her was so smooth that when the Shrek Seven Devils woke up,
they had to make their best in order to catch up her, among whom
Ning Rongrong had to depend on the help of companions. While Bai
Chenxiang who had just flew over even had no time to ask, catching
up the others quickly. Xiao Wu’s soul returned from her body and
was brought by Tang San.
It was in total four hours since Bo Saixi left. In terms of her speed,
although she had controlled her speed deliberately, the length of the
road they had traveled in four hours was also considerable.
Through the forest, over the hill, they had also seen many other inner
seas within Seagod Island. Seven people followed Bo Saixi closely,
and nearly passed all kind of terrain within the island.
When everybody felt difficult to keep their speed because of the high
speed, suddenly, a booming sound came. Although they hadn’t seen
what that was, the tremendous roaring sound became more and
more formidable, as deafening as the rolling thunder.
Bo Saixi floated up and flew to a hundreds-meter mountain peak
before them, which was entirely black and thoroughly made of rocks
– not even a blade of grass grew there.
The height of hundreds of meters made no difference to Shrek
Seven Devils. Soon, they were also on the top of the mountain.
But when they saw the scene before their eyes, their heart were
deeply shocked.
What was before their eyes was a valley concave into the Seagod
Island, and the outside of it was the vast sea stretching to the
horizon. The valley sank from shore into the island for hundreds of
meters. Black rocks occupied all the ground, of whom the hardness
could be easily felt by just walking on it.
Still, these weren’t what made Shrek Seven Devils astonished.
Though the sea was vast, they had seen it before. What really made
them astonished was the grand sight how furious waves hit the
concave shore.
Strangely, no matter how quiet the seawater outside of the valley
was, the instant they entered the valley, they would become mad
waves as high as hundreds of meters, and strongly slapped the
rocks beneath Shrek Seven Devils’ feet. The tremendous majesty of
nature made everyone keep quiet – compared with the sea, how
small they were.
“This is the place for your third test, named Furious Waves Strait.
It’s one of the extraordinary sights on Seagod Island. Even sea spirit
beasts like Devil Spirit Great White Shark won’t come here. Do you
know why this valley exists?”
Dai Mubai asked with hesitation, “Wasn’t this formed by washing
waves?”
Bo Saixi replied indifferently, “You are right. This valley was formed
by waves. Under continuous impacts, rocks are compressed. If
there is a chance, you can have a try. Because of the impact in the
long term, rocks here are not only as hard as refined steels, but also
rendered with high density, which is nearly on a par with silver.”
Tang San asked, ”So actually, our tasks are…”
The instant he opened his mouth, Bo Saixi rose her hands, and
suddenly, a ring of sea blue light spread out from her body – nine
spirit rings appeared clearly. What made Shrek Seven Devils
frightened was that the former eight rings of Bo Saixi were black and
the last one was red.
Eight ten thousand years spirit rings and a hundred thousand spirit
ring? Despite looking at it, they hadn’t even heard of such situation.
Although the Shrek Seven Devils had already been estimating the
strength of Bo Saixi, the moment they saw such formidable spirit
rings collection on Bo Saixi’s body, they were still unprecedentedly
shocked and frightened deeply.
How did she make it? Did she also have two spirits and she was
using her second spirit?
No, not that. Tang San rejected this speculation quickly, since behind
Bo Saixi’s back, there had already emerged a huge phantom. They
couldn’t recognize what that was, but the dignified aura and the
stories about Bo Saixi they had heared, all made them understand
that, the Seagod Douluo’s spirit was the Sea God. With her loyalty
to Sea God and the identity of spokesman of Sea God, how could
she have a second spirit?
Blue light shone, but brought no pressure to anyone. The blue light
which was as soft as if containing no spirit power wasn’t a spirit
ability of Bo Saixi. It seemed that for people who had reached such
rank, whether using spirit abilities or not was no longer the key of
battle.
Blue light dropped in the valley. Soon, it spread to every corner of
the it, when a strange scene appeared.
The valley which was full of furious billows before suddenly became
quiet. It became quiet so suddenly that these huge waves seemed to
be pushed down by Bo Saixi’s blue light through sheer force, which
seemed to have little spirit power
What a formidable strength! Relying on one’s own force, fighting
against nature, and getting the upper hand. Although this was the
first time Shrek Seven Devils saw Bo Saixi’s true strength, they still
had a brand new awareness about rank ninety ninety peak douluo. If
common Title Douluos were mighty, their mighty were still human
force, whereas what ninety ninety peak Douluos had were already
non-human force, but part of the power of nature.
Blue light grew abruptly. Being next to Bo Saixi, Tang San could
clearly see that a layer of intense blue light lighted up in Bo Saixi’s
eyes. Soon, above the quiet sea surface held down by the light,
seven grey pillars rose up slowly. Their speed grew so quickly that
Shrek Seven Devils noticed them immediately.

On the top of every pillars, there were horizontally placed thin pillars,
which were fused with the thick pillars. They looked like a circle of
crosses. On each of them there were five grey rings in total.
If other people saw that, they must suppose them to be stone pillars
since these crosses really looked like grey stones. But Tang San
gained an insight into them by using his Purple Demon Eyes.
“Deep Sea Sunken Silver, these are Deep Sea Sunken Silver.”
Considering Tang San’s firmness of will, he couldn’t help but exclaim
in alarm. No one knew more about the rarity of Deep Sea Sunken
Silver than him. In fact, the material of making Torrential Pear
Blossom Needle exactly required the silver origin of Deep Sea
Sunken Silver, which could be absolutely refined from Deep Sea
Sunken Silver. Seeing the one meter diameter seven pillars soaring
to about fifty meters height, Tang San was deeply shocked – how
many Deep Sea Sunken Silver it would require to build this! Actually,
equal volume of Deep Sea Sunken Silver was much heavier than
gold, thus it might be hundreds thousands kilograms of these seven
huge pillars. While Tang San was calculating, they had already
soared up from the sea by the unknown energy of Seagod Douluo
Bo Saixi.
“Here, is the place for your third test. I will wait here all the time for
your test. If anyone who can’t endure, just open your mouth and
seek help. Black five tests candidates need to persist for three hours
on the Sunken Silver pillars; six tests candidates for four hours,
seven tests candidates for five hours, as to you…” The sight of Bo
Saixi fell over Tang San, saying slowly, “Seagod nine tests
candidate, twelve hours. In the initial stage of testing, you can
shorten the time a little. Nevertheless from now on, in the next three
hundred and sixty five days, the average time of your testing must
be what I have said, otherwise you won’t pass.”
It was now when everybody realized what the third test was. It was
actually letting them endure the impact of the waves and furious
billows, which was the so called Tidal Body Refining.
“Then let's begin. Don’t push yourself too much, everyone. Thank
you, senior.” Tang San said loudly. Since they came here, they had
no other choices but finish tests grant by Sea God, which was also
the pressure they had been expected.
Blue lights transformed into seven threads, and fell over on seven
people’s bodies. At the next minute, in the shining light, Shrek Seven
Devils just felt their body became light a little and then floated to
Sunken Silver pillars respectively.
Seven Sunken Silver pillars were located according to a triangle –
there was one pillar furthest in front, and then two, four… Seven in
total.
Without doubt, Tang San landed before the first pillar. Then a silver
light lit up on it, and Tang San felt as if his body was wrapped, and
glued on the cross of the Sunken Silver pillar. Five Sunken Silver
rings on it fastened his body on the neck, waist, feet and wrists,
keeping him tightly on the Sunken Silver pillar.
The other six people’s situations were the same as Tang San’s.
Behind his back, there were exactly Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong and
the four after them were Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar and Ma
Hongjun.
Right after Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi Retracted her hand, blue light
faded away gradually, then a strange stress pervaded Shrek Seven
Devils’ hearts quickly. Now their spirit power had already been
consumed more than half, therefore when they recalled the scene of
furious billows hitting shore, they were still somewhat nervous.
Without Bo Saixi’s energy restriction, the water beneath everyone’s
feet began to surge. Fifty meters was a really high height, but with
the waves surging, the water beneath them was also coming closer
and closer to them. The sound of waves hitting the rocks also came.
Soon, a huge wave had already gone up to the same level as theirs
and then blew to them. In a huge sound, the first wave slapped on
Tang San’s body and then slapped on Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong and
other four people behind them.
With billowy momentum, waves hit the seven people strongly,
whereas this gave them a kind of weird feeling – the waves didn’t
possess strong impact they had expected. It was strong though,
they could endure absolutely. With the fastening of Sunken Silver
rings, they didn’t need to fear being washed away by sea water and
the Sunken Silver pillars were also absolutely firm under the impact
of sea water.
Could it be that the third test was easier than the former two tests?
The same doubt appeared simultaneously in Shrek Seven Devils’
hearts, nevertheless their doubt only continued no more than a stick
of incense, then their complexion began to change.
Sure, the first group of impact of waves wasn’t that strong.
However, what they were going to face was impacts that never
stopped.
Before the first group of waves had gone away, the second group of
waves had already rushed over. Although the waves soared to a
hundred meter high and then hit down strongly, for their bodies of
spirit sage, it brought little discomfort to them. But after more than
ten hits, they had to use their spirit power to withstand it. Because of
the continuous impact, their bodies had already showed sense of
numbness. It wasn’t pain, but it was numb, from their vessels, flesh,
bones and every other part of their bodies.
The furious waves were just like a power with powerful spirit power
and his constant energy form attacks. Every attack would cover their
whole body. Therefore in the next quarter of an hour, everyone of
them would bear hundreds of attacks. Numbness was transforming
into pain gradually, nevertheless because of the excessive
exhaustion before, their spirit power wasn’t enough to protect their
bodies, thus they had to endure the impact by sheer force.
Among the seven, Tang San, Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai were in better
condition since their bodies’ strength were better than other people.
Especially for Tang San and Xiao Wu, without using spirit abilities,
their bodies were the strongest. After going through countless
trainings, Tang San’s body had already reached an extent of
formidable toughness. In terms of Xiao Wu, she was not only
cultivated from hundred thousand spirit beast, but also remoulded by
the Yearning Heartbroken Red, whose function was making body
invulnerable. Therefore although Xiao Wu’s soul wasn’t controlling
her body, the toughness of her body was inferior only to Tang San’s.
Therefore even Dai Mubai couldn’t surpass her without using spirit
abilities, let alone that she had a Wishful Eight Treasure Soft Armour
which could protect her body.
The one who was in the worst condition was Ning Rongrong. Among
seven Sunken Silver pillars, the more in front one was, the larger
impact they would suffer. After Tang San in the first place, there
were Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu. In terms of their body condition,
Ning Rongrong was much worse than Xiao Wu. If she hadn’t gained
the benefit of the stress of Seagod light in the first test, she could
have fallen unconscious in hundreds of impact of waves. Even though
the toughness of her body was much higher than ordinary auxiliary
system spirit masters, she still felt limp and numb from head to foot -
- ineffably painful.
Tang San was bearing the waves in the front, nevertheless for him,
hundreds of impact wasn’t so serious. Although it was much harder
than the waterfall at that time, his body was also hair-raisingly tough.
While he was bearing the waves, he could also pay close attention
to his friends’ situation. When he noticed Ning Rongrong’s situation,
he opened his Blue Silver Domain, and separated a part to Ning
Rongrong.
Being stimulated by Blue Silver Domain, the vitality of Ning Rongrong
herself was recovering quickly, and her defense was also enhanced
a little, thus she could support herself narrowly.
Soon, they found another problem that in the third test, any kind of
auxiliary spirit ability was invalid.
After the second test, the seal of spirit abilities of Tang San and Ning
Rongrong was broken, but now Ning Rongrong still couldn’t use her
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile. This wasn’t because of seal but that the
endless waves wouldn’t allow her to use her Nine Treasure Glazed
Tile. In spite of Oscar, since his hands were fastened, even if he
could produce sausages, he had no way to eat them.
At the same time, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun all found
any of their amplifying abilities went invalid, such as White Tiger
Vajra Transformation and Bathing Fire Phoenix – none of these were
available, therefore they had to withstand the impact of waves by
sheer force.
To the Shrek Seven Devils, the seven Sunken Silver pillars were just
like anvils using for forging while their bodies were the metal being
forged, and the endless waves were the striking of a hammer.
Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi crossed her legs and sat on the top of the
mountain, looking at them. From that day, the Shrek Seven Devils
would suffer painful experience for three hundred and sixty five days.
At the beginning, even for Tang San whose body was the toughest,
he could only persist six hours, before his body was already so
numb that he couldn’t even sense anything. And the other people
saved by Bo Saixi were also weakly lying there, lacking strength to
move even a little.
Following the feeling of numbness, the feeling of pain -- as if being
penetrated by thousands of needles -- put them to the limit, which
lasted for more than a dozen hours in total before they recovered
and started cultivating.
It was not until now, after trying, did they understand that the third
test which seemed easier than the first and the second test was
actually much more painful.
If say the first test was to test their spirit power and the second test
was to test their actual combat ability in the sea, then the third test
was to strengthen their bodies. And without exception, all of these
tests were testing their perseverance. Just, the formidability of the
third test brought them a brand new awareness.
Next, the Shrek Seven Devils started their three hundred and sixty
five days which for them were no better than to die. Ning Rongrong
was the one who suffered the most. Although Oscar would give her
a large number of sausages to eat, with even Erect Gold Fly in order
to increase her body resistance, yet every time after testing, Ning
Rongrong still felt extremely painful.
Still, she persisted. At the beginning, she couldn’t persist for even
half an hour, but it prolonged to one hours, two hours, three hours
and four hours. Till the end of the third month, Ning Rongrong finally
could persist for five hours narrowly, nevertheless she still need to
bear more in order to make up what she left in the prior three
months.
In the initial month, even the toughest Tang San couldn’t help cursing
the Sea God unspokenly when he felt unbearably painful. The test
was just too abnormal. Enduring the torment of incomparable pain,
they felt that they were no better than in the hell. However, as time
went by, after another one month, they found that under endless
impact of waves, their breath could change with the fluctuation of
waves, and their bodies had become tougher.
Such situation became more and more visible. After three months,
they even found that when they were bearing the impact of waves,
they not only felt little pain, but also felt comfortable. Of course, such
feeling would change into unbearable feeling again as impacts
accumulated, nonetheless the improvement of their bodies made
them persist by gritting their teeth.
As is the saying goes, no pain no gain, without such kind of torment,
how could their strength improve so rapidly?
Seagod Douluo just sat on the top of the mountain and gave them
necessary rescue. No one had seen her leave, but everyday she
would bring a lavish feast for the Shrek Seven Devils to eat. Bai
Chenxiang completely became a logistics worker. When Shrek
Seven Devils were rolling on the ground due to pain, she would
attend them. And when their clothes wore out, she would sew them
up.
After six months there, an incredible scene appeared. When Dai
Mubai unconsciously waved his fist, he surprisedly found that it was
actually followed by a kind of roaring sound like the sea. And it
seemed that his body movement also became similar to sea waves.
His spirit power increased, nevertheless he found it wasn’t simply the
improvement of spirit power that merited. Since his body strength
was enhanced geometrically, when spirit power combined with it, he
could give play to more powerful attacks.
The second surprise was found by Tang San. When he touched Xiao
Wu that had no soul, her skin fluctuated spontaneously, as if it was
neutralizing his force like the sea waves.
Through trying, they found that this happened to everyone of them.
Improvement of body force and neutralizing ability of skin, were
undoubtedly all from the terrifying waves.
It was now when they felt the happy after suffering. Moreover, Tang
San, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun whose bodies were stronger had
already been increasing their cultivating time in sea waves.

In the last three months, Tang San would even endure for over
twelve hours, till he got exhausted. After he went ashore, he would
cultivate about three hours before he went in waves again.
Today was the first day of the last month of Furious Billows
Impasse. Tang San arrived at Sunken Silver pillar familiarly. Now he
could restrict the waves and get to his own place by his own force,
without Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi’s help.
With Sunken Silver rings fastening his body and limbs, he breathed
deeply, when the first group of huge waves was blowing to him. With
loud sounds resounding, a comfortable sense came from every
corner of his body, which was really cosy. Mysterious Heaven Skill
within his body worked with the hitting waves – skin, muscles,
vessels, even bones would create a slight rhythm.
 235 – Purple Demon Eye’s Final
Realm, Boundless

The way his body followed the swelling seas made Tang San feel as
if his body had fully blended into the ocean. Without using spirit
abilities, even without using spirit power protection, he could still
clearly feel his body in the process of unloading the force. The
waves were just like an enormous force attacking, and his whole
body kept exactly the same frequency as this force, merging into it.
Thus, the attack his body had to endure would decrease
considerably.
This natural reaction was like a skill given him by the waves, it was
like this when facing the charging waves, and it would naturally also
be the same when facing other energy form strikes.
Passing each day in such pain that they wished they would die,
undoubtedly pushed the potential of the Shrek Seven Devils one step
further, and forced them to cultivate spirit power with all their might
even when not enduring the attack of the waves, to recover the harm
they’d suffered as quickly as possible. Spirit power was no longer
just an energy that existed within them, beaten by the waves, it
merged into their meridians, muscles, and bones. A body refining
method like this was definitely extremely overbearing, it would
definitely be impossible to resist without great willpower and
considerable strength. But if they persevered, the benefits to the
body would also be equally substantial.
Tang San’s spirit power was now already at the seventy ninth rank,
having already reached it by the fifth month of tidal body refining. He
was currently attacking his eighth bottleneck. The realm of Spirit
Douluo was already beckoning to him.
Hong hong—— Giant waves bombarded Tang San almost without
respite, but feeling the Mysterious Heaven Skill fluctuating within his
body each time a giant wave washed over him, Tang San gradually
had a kind of clear inspiration. It seemed as if he was no longer
human, but rather a part of this furious wave, a portion of Heaven
and Earth. His whole body was already completely blended into this
marvellous sensation.
The feeling of surging waves attacking him disappeared, and he
seemed to transform into the waves, his senses strengthening
severalfold, so much so that even the motion of each droplet within
the waves was grasped in his mental world.
At this moment it was just sunrise, a smear of marble white
appearing on the distant horizon. Raising his head with familiarity,
gazing at that purple flash on the horizon, Tang San’s eyes suddenly
brightened. An unprecedented feeling filled his whole body,
explosions resounding in his mind. In that instant, he no longer felt his
own body, but all of Seagod Island seemed to be within his field of
view. Everything of everything around him turned completely clear.
Whether the state of his comrades, the attack of the waves, or little
details on Seagod Island, right now it was before him regardless of
big or small, imprinted on his mind. Tang San’s blue eyes turned
completely purple golden. That light, seemingly even deeper than the
ocean, shot towards the horizon that merged water and sky.
Suddenly, Tang San discovered that the purple energy that had just
disappeared again grew stronger from the horizon, connecting with
his eyes, he and that purple energy were like the supports of a
bridge, connecting, releasing.
The scenery before his eyes changed yet again. No longer only
limited to Seagod Island, but rather apparently covering the whole
ocean. In his eyes, the seawater unexpectedly had five gorgeous
colors, there was faint shallow blue, deep black, and also crystalline
clear blue. And even the smallest variations in these colors were
unable to escape Tang San’s senses.
Between his eyebrows, just above the golden trident brand, a blue
speck of light quietly grew. The triangular Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud
shot out, floating in front of Tang San. All the sparkling and
translucent light seemed to merge together with that Vast Sea
Cosmic Shroud in this moment, and Tang San’s senses grew
stronger yet again. He unconsciously closed his eyes, but that
moving scene still appeared in his mind. Even without the need to
see with his eyes, he could still clearly grasp any change in the
ocean.
The purple golden color retreated from his eyes, returning to blue.
But this time, it was a blue as deep as the night sky. The color
deepened, and even Tang San’s short hair turned dark blue. A
difficult to describe energy fluctuation burst out with his head as
center, forming a dazzling ring of light that spread outward.
Even Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi sitting crosslegged on the reef
couldn’t help being moved. Floating up, she attentively watched the
halo Tang San released with bright eyes, until it disappeared in the
distance.
Tang San’s head suddenly grew transparent, and within could
vaguely be seen a glittering skull. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud
quietly grew smaller in front of him, and in a moment’s work, it had
become the size of a chicken egg, then again charged towards Tang
San’s head, piercing inside along the trident brand.
A raging roar erupted from Tang San’s mouth as the Vast Sea
Cosmic Shroud entered him. In that instant, the originally
incomparably raging waves suddenly quieted down without the
slightest warning. But the next instant, incomparably enormous
explosive sounds abruptly erupted, and the waves no longer came
from in front, but rather swept up from below. Soaring up amidst
Tang San’s roar, rushing into the air as if hiding the sky, erupting with
countless sparkling splashes.
One roar was actually like this. The six people behind Tang San
were already staring dumbfounded, they had absolutely no idea
what was happening with Tang San.
The golden trident brand brightened at this moment, a square screen
of light gushed out from Tang San’s forehead and shattered with a
resounding crack, turning into specks of light that merged back into
his body.
In the depths of his mind, that familiar voice resounded for the first
time,
“Surpassed trial expectations, spiritual awakening, accepted the
influence of that vast consciousness, skull spirit bone forcefully
evolved, not shattering with special energy infusion. Third trial, Tidal
Body Refining, completed above quota, Seagod Affinity increased
fifteen percent, overall affinity at twenty five percent.”
On the first day of the twelfth month of the third trial, Tidal Body
Refining, Tang San suddenly completed the trial.
There was another person whose forehead spat out a screen of light
along with him, Xiao Wu. The blood colored light screen shattered,
turning into specks of light that merged into Xiao Wu’s body. She still
obtained the notice of rewards superimposing. Xiao Wu’s trial was
very simple, that was accompanying. Accompanying Tang San to
pass all trials. As long as Tang San was next to her as he passed
the trials, she would naturally also pass hers.
The rumbling waves began to strike once again, but this time it was
already as different as black and white to Tang San. Before those
waves attacked him, they would unexpectedly be pushed aside by
an intangible force, basically without falling on him. The same
circumstances also appeared for Xiao Wu. Clearly, after passing this
Tidal Body Refining Trial, the Raging Waves Impasse would no
longer be able to cause them any harm.
Slowly opening his eyes, Tang San’s irises had already completely
turned dark blue. The world before his eyes was different,
everything and everything had a feeling of being extremely layered.
That wasn’t just from sight, but even more from spiritual force. As if
his spiritual force had already become one with the ocean, the same
feeling as when he used the Blue Silver Domain in the forest. Only
the present feeling was even more clear than when using Blue Silver
Domain.
Even someone like Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi didn’t know what had
happened to Tang San, but Tang San himself knew. The reason why
he could pass the trial in advance really wasn’t because he had
already reached the time required for being battered by the waves,
but rather because after the Purple Demon Eye he took from the
Tang Sect had been cultivated for so many years, it had reached the
final boundary.
The four great boundaries of the Purple Demon Eye were: Survey,
Detailed, Mustard Seed, Boundless. Since Tang San received the
wisdom condensing skull bone, the Purple Demon Eye had
automatically risen to the Mustard Seed boundary. But from then on,
even though he still insisted on cultivating every day, the Purple
Demon Eye no longer showed any signs of improving in the slightest.
But Tang San’s years of effort hadn’t been in vain, at this moment he
understood why the Purple Demon Eye had never been able to
advance. The cause was very simple, it was that wisdom
condensing skull bone that helped him cultivate to the Mustard Seed
realm. Even though the wisdom condensing skull bone helped him
raise the Purple Demon Eye, fact was that this skull itself prevented
the Purple Demon Eye from continuing to advance. The purple qi
Tang San absorbed every day was restricted within the skull and
unable to be released, thus being constantly compressed.
But just today, inadvertently, a peculiar inspiration was born in Tang
San’s heart from the pounding waves, that inspiration not only let his
Mysterious Heaven Skill rise another level, at it simultaneously also
caused the purple qi compressed in the skull bone to erupt.
Regardless of any cultivation, after reaching a certain boundary, it
wasn’t something that could be advanced relying only on effort, a
moment of inspiration was even more important. In the sudden
process of awakening, the Purple Demon Eye had finally stepped
across from Mustard Seed to Boundless, reaching an all new realm.
Inspiration was something very mysterious. Even Tang San himself
absolutely couldn’t replicate this experience. But the result for him
was still an incomparably pleasant surprise. Purple Demon Eye rose
to the Boundless realm, and Tang San’s spiritual force rose
exponentially. If his spiritual force was like a spiderweb before, then
his current spiritual force was like an impenetrable torrent of
mercury. He also finally understood that, after Purple Demon Eye
was cultivated to its highest level, it was no longer a case of seeing
with the naked eye, but rather with the mind’s eye. No illusions could
make you lose your mind’s eye. Tang San was convinced that, even
if he again met with Qian Renxue’s Angelic Domain, he would still be
able to clearly see everything in that golden light. After the Purple
Demon Eye reached the Boundless realm, there was no longer any
energy or object that could block his mind’s eye.
This inspiration was extremely important to Tang San. He hadn’t
endured one year of being battered by waves in vain. The final
evolution of Purple Demon Eye and the special awakening of
Mysterious Heaven Skill circulation made him coincidentally break
through the eightieth rank bottleneck.
Of course, Tang San was also lucky. After the Purple Demon Eye
rose to the Boundless realm, the spiritual force in his mind plus the
Purple Demon Eye’s was no longer something that the mind
condensing skull bone could repress. This led to the mind
condensing skull bone suddenly fracturing. This was also why Tang
San heard that dignified voice say it was forcefully evolved.
Ordinarily, the power of spirit bones was locked at the instant the
spirit beast died. Only external spirit bones possessed the chance to
evolve. This was also the reason why the value of external spirit
bones was second only to hundred thousand year spirit bones.
Even though Tang San’s mind condensing skull bone was pretty
good, it was still impossible for it to evolve. Consequently, its only
fate when Tang San’s spiritual force exploded was to break. Spiritual
force suddenly promoting and the skull spirit bone suddenly
shattering might not actually take Tang San’s life, but it would
inevitably cause him extremely serious wounds, even to the extent of
brain damage. But just at this moment, that mysterious Vast Sea
Cosmic Shroud appeared, automatically turning into a peculiar
energy that merged with Tang San’s breaking skull bone, completing
this forceful evolution. The quality of the spirit bone also
subsequently rose. But Tang San vaguely sensed that his skull spirit
bone really wasn’t a hundred thousand year spirit bone, but neither
was it any weaker than one. After that moment of fusion, the skull
reformed, and all the abilities possessed by the Vast Sea Cosmic
Shroud consequently also blended into Tang San’s skull bone. Even
his Purple God Light seemed to have undergone some
transformation. What pleasant advantages this newly formed Vast
Sea Skull Bone could give Tang San was something he had to slowly
ascertain in later battles and cultivation.
With a clanging sound, the five sunken silver bands holding Tang San
opened simultaneously. The muscles on his back contracted
unconsciously, sucking him against the sunken silver pillar. At the
same time he threw out a Blue Silver Emperor without the slightest
hesitation, twisting around Xiao Wu rolling in the waves. His heel
tapped against the pillar, and he leapt up, bringing Xiao Wu to soar
towards the shore.
Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi watched Tang San arrive in front of her, and
her face revealed a knowing smile,
“Congratulations. Even though I don’t know just what happened to
you, or how you achieved it at this age, I can be certain that your
spiritual force has already risen to the same level as mine. No?”
Tang San looked somewhat lifelessly at Bo Saixi, because the voice
he heard didn’t come from Bo Saixi’s mouth, but rather from within
his mind. This was…… telepathy?
“Yes, this is telepathy. You only need to focus your mind to sense my
thoughts. Of course, this is something that will only be usable among
Spirit Masters with the same level of spiritual force as us. If you
don’t want to make your own thoughts know, you can use spiritual
force to seal you mind. Thus nobody will be able to examine your
thoughts again.”
The same mental boundary as Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi? Even if the
Purple Demon Eye had advanced to the final Boundless level, Tang
San was still shocked because of what Bo Saixi said. Vaguely, he
felt as if he had opened a special door. What existed behind this
door was something that still needed constant exploration.
“Thank you, senior.”
Tang San bowed in hearfelt salute to Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi smiled slightly,
“It’s nothing, it’s my duty. According to the present circumstances,
there shouldn’t be a problem for your partners to pass this third trial.
Since you’ve already completed it, then next it will be up to you to
look after them. I should return to Seagod Hall.”
“Yes.”
Tang San answered deferentially,
“Senior, I’ve always had a question. May I ask for your guidance?”
Bo Saixi’s expression shifted:
“Speak.”
Tang San said resolutely:
“What I want to ask is, just what is Seagod Affinity degree?”
Bo Saixi’s calm eyes erupted with dazzling splendor. If it was the
previous Tang San, he might not even been able to endure this gaze,
but the present he faced it calmly. His deep blue eyes, like
whirlpools, accepted the light thrown out by Bo Saixi.
“I’m also unable to give you answers regarding Seagod Affinity. But
what I can tell you is that you really can’t possess one hundred
percent Seagod Affinity by completing the Seagod’s nine trials. But a
hundred percent affinity score, not just me, every person on Seagod
Island is looking forward to it. What is your current Affinity score?”
Tang San said:
“Twenty five percent.”
Bo Saixi was secretly shocked,
“Twenty five? Then that means, after you completed the trial just
now, you received a very high affinity score?”
Tang San said:
“The first and second trials were both five percent, but just now was
fifteen.”
Bo Saixi drew a deep breath, as if calming her racing heart,
“Very good, twenty five percent. Keep working hard. I believe you
will succeed. Since the lord Seagod gave you the Seagod’s nine
trials, it means you have the chance to gain one hundred percent
affinity.”
Finished saying this, Bo Saixi didn’t wait for Tang San to speak up
again. Floating up, she turned into a red cloud and disappeared
without a trace.
“Seagod Affinity score.”
Tang San mumbled quietly, his gaze once again shooting towards the
boundless ocean. In his incisive mental world, his thoughts revolved
at high speed. From what Devil Spirit Great White Shark King Xiao
Bai as well as Bo Saixi said, he already understood a great many
things. Even if he still couldn’t be completely certain, if this was true,
then it would undoubtedly be an exceptional opportunity for him.
The last month passed. As everyone finished the third trial and stood
on the mountain reef, everyone felt as if a lifetime had gone by. The
ones among them that felt it most deeply were undoubtedly the ones
who had endured most bitterly, Ning Rongrong and Oscar.
Ning Rongrong had clearly thinned a size, and her originally fair skin
had turned a healthy wheat color, her graceful and noble
temperament replaced by a thriving heroic vigor. She no longer had
a trace of that support type Spirit Master feeling, and rather seemed
like a battle Spirit Master.
Oscar’s situation was hardly any better than hers. His skin was
tanned, hair and beard both tangled, looking just like a savage, but
his eyes were a lot sharper than before. The feeling Tang San had
experienced of his body turning into force was something each of
them had experienced to varying degrees. And even though
everyone had been in such pain that they’d rather die throughout the
duration of this year, the benefits they had obtained were
undoubtedly also enormous. Even so, if they could choose to come
anew, perhaps none of them would be willing. Even decades later,
whenever they recalled this experience of Tidal Body Refining, they
still couldn’t help trembling, enough to compare with Grandmaster’s
original hell training.
Along with the screen of light from Ning Rongrong’s forehead
shattering, the third trial, Tidal Body Refining was complete.
“I can’t go on. We really have to rest a while.”
Oscar plopped to the ground. His body currently wasn’t completely
tired out, but his mind was already at its limit. Not just him, besides
Tang San and Xiao Wu, each of them felt the same. Each and every
one collapsed to the ground in disorder, so much that they didn’t
even want to see what the fourth trial was.
Indeed, starting from the day they arrived at Seagod Island, all the
way until now, a full three years had already gone by. Even though in
these three years, each of them had made qualitative leaps in
strength, they had also endured inhuman suffering. Everything they
had gone through in the past three years was even more than they
had endured in the more than twenty years before that. Gains had to
be paid for. Three years had gone by, and the torment their bodies
and hearts had endured had also finally erupted. If they didn’t
recuperate, with Oscar and Ning Rongrong’s weak bodies as
support Spirit Masters, they might even go insane.
Watching his comrades’ tired expressions, Tang San said:
“This time we’ll make some time to rest. Everyone really are too
tired. I just looked at the subject for the fourth trial. If everyone's’ are
the same as mine, then, it won’t be as painful as the last three.”
These words immediately evoked the interest of the others. Dai
Mubai, using Zhu Zhuqing’s thighs as a pillow, looked at Tang San,
“Little San, what’s your fourth trial? Wait and I’ll look at mine.”
Tang San said:
“My fourth trial is, Apex Shark Whale Battle, helping the Devil Spirit
Great White Shark flock to kill the Evil Spirit Orca King from the Evil
Spirit Orca Pack.”
“Eh…….”
Dai Mubai crawled wearily from the ground,
“Mine is Shark Whale Battle. Help the Devil Spirit Great White Shark
Flock. Kill at least ten Evil Spirit Orcas.”
Oscar raised his hand:
“Ten for me too.”
Zhu Zhuqing said:
“I’m to kill eight Evil Spirit Orcas.”
Ma Hongjun said:
“I’m the same as boss Dai and little Ao.”
Ning Rongrong’s expression was a bit strange,
“My mission is different from yours. It’s not to kill Evil Spirit Orcas.
It’s to guarantee the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King doesn’t
die.”
Everyone looked at each other, and Oscar smiled:
“Looking at this, and according to having one year to complete the
mission, it wouldn’t be a problem for us to rest for half a year?”
Tang San nodded with a slight smile,
“It seems so. We might as well return to Seahorse City to rest
properly. Once everyone feels your condition is more or less
adjusted, we’ll go look for Xiao Bai. I guess these so-called Evil
Spirit Orcas should be Xiao Bai and the others’ mortal enemies. This
fourth trial is a chance for us to repay Xiao Bai!”
Ma Hongjun grinned:
“Excellent. I haven’t killed living things for quite a while, my hands are
all itchy. This time we can finally fight for real, it certainly feels good.
I wonder if there’s some kind of reward for killing some Evil Spirit
Orcas above the quota!”
Dai Mubai’s eyes brightened:
“There’s a real chance for that. Once we’ve completed our missions,
it’ll be up to our own skill. Fatty, how about we compare who can kill
a few more later on?”
Ma Hongjun somewhat resentfully said:
“Boss Dai, I’ve told you so many times, don’t keep calling me Fatty.
I’m already slim now. I won’t oppose it if you want to call me lady-
killer, but the word Fatty is completely unrelated to me.”
Even though he had already lost weight, his comrades were still
used to calling him Fatty, causing Ma Hongjun to frequently have to
correct them.
“Is none of you a bit worried about the difficulty of the trial?”
Bai Chenxiang couldn’t help asking from the side.
Ma Hongjun laid there immensely self satisfied:
“If you endured the suffering of the Tidal Body Refining, you would
understand that there’s nothing more frightening than that. When
facing Evil Spirit Orcas, you’d only die at worst, that’d still feel far
better than the pain worse than death of the Tidal Body Refining.
Even more so when we’re hardly a sole army going to battle, we still
have Xiao Bai’s lot. With third brother’s strength completely
recovered, what do we still have to fear? What I’m currently most
thirsty for is battle.”
Even though they hadn’t even seen what the Evil Spirit Orcas looked
like, it could be assumed that they wouldn’t be much stronger than
the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks. They should both be first rate
sea spirit beasts. At least from the surface of the trial, this test
shouldn’t be as difficult as the first three. For the Shrek Seven
Devils, what was most important right now was recovery.
After resting on the shore for a full two days, the seven devils plus
Bai Chenxiang set out back to Seahorse City. When they returned,
Seahorse Douluo wasn’t there, but the purple clothed sea Spirit
Masters received them enthusiastically, their original residence was
preserved.
Everyone relaxed in different ways. For instance, Fatty liked
bothering Bai Chenxiang, teasing her. Even if Fatty still hadn’t
completely passed all the trials, Bai Chenxiang currently didn’t reject
him as much. Between laughter and quarreling, their emotions
warmed imperceptibly.
And Oscar and Ning Rongrong seemed to relax a bit. Ning Rongrong
pulled little Ao to stroll in Seahorse City, eating some of the local
specialities there, using the things brought in their spirit tools to trade
for some local goods.
The sea Spirit Masters in Seahorse City were completely
straightforward, and interacting was effortless. Especially when
those sea Spirit Masters saw the brands on their foreheads, they
would be extremely respectful.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing did just the opposite. These two always
stayed in the hotel, and whether what they were up to was
something inappropriate for children, the others never learned. After
all, who dared go peep at boss Dai’s private affairs? And Zhu
Zhuqing’s explanation was, in order to keep Dai Mubai from going
out and attracting flowers, causing widespread disasters for sea
Spirit Master girls, it was preferable to stay at home.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were yet another scene. After returning to
Seahorse City, Tang San went straight into closed door state, and
Xiao Wu was the same. Because he knew that he was different from
his companions. Each trial he had to confront was the most difficult.
Even more when he wanted to resurrect Xiao Wu as soon as
possible, he absolutely couldn’t delay. Even though his spirit power
was now already rank eighty and needed a spirit ring to keep
advancing, constant cultivation would still save up effect. Besides,
because of inspiration promoting the Purple Demon Eye, as well as
merging all the different attributes of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud
into the skull bone, Tang San needed to familiarize himself with it all.
In order to become an outstanding team core, he first of all had to
understand his own strength. Even if the fourth trial might not seem
so difficult, Tang San still knew that these trials would never be
simple. Passing absolutely wouldn’t be easy. Especially when he had
to kill a target like the Evil Spirit Orca King. Judging by Xiao Bai’s
strength, this Evil Spirit Orca King was bound to be a hundred
thousand year level spirit beast.
Tang San also vaguely felt that this hundred thousand year spirit
beast seemed to be something the Seagod secretly arranged for
him. Because, what he currently lacked, wasn’t it a spirit ring? At the
same time he could also be certain that this Evil Spirit Orca King
should be even stronger than Xiao Bai, otherwise the trial wouldn’t
have him help Xiao Bai. Rongrong’s trial was even to safeguard Xiao
Bai’s life.
Xiao Wu would release her soul every day to accompany Tang San
to cultivate for a time, returning to Tang San’s body when she felt the
strength of her soul starting to wear.
Passing the constant tempering of the third trial, Xiao Wu’s soul was
a lot more condensed than at the start, and could also stay in her
body longer. Especially after Tang San’s Purple Demon Eye rose to
the Boundless realm, Tang San clearly discovered that the strength
of Xiao Wu’s soul had also risen qualitatively, influenced by his
qualitative change in spiritual force. By now, Xiao Wu could stay in
her body for two hours in a day without risking harm, and was
moreover no longer limited to once. As long as the time didn’t
surpass two hours, she wouldn’t be injured.
Xiao Wu’s soul growing stronger undoubtedly had enormous benefit
for her future resurrection. Tang San now thirsted to complete the
fourth trial, because as long as he could pass, his Seagod Affinity
could rise by at least five percent, and back then Xiao Bai said that,
as long as his Seagod Affinity score reached thirty percent, he could
voluntarily release the Seagod’s light to help Xiao Wu’s soul fuse
with her body. With this Seagod’s Light, all that remained was for
him to cultivate to the Title Douluo realm. To Tang San, what was
more important than Xiao Wu’s resurrection?
This time, the Shrek Seven Devils could be said to have completely
rested up. What surprised everyone was that, in these three month
long period of rest, their cultivation speed actually wasn’t slow at all.
It seemed to be because of their always taut minds and bodies
relaxing, the benefit of sorrow turning to joy.
At present, the spirit power of the Shrek Seven Devils was:
Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai, seventy eighth rank power attack
type battle Spirit Sage. Including the two ranks from passing the
second and third trials, plus more than a year of cultivation, Dai
Mubai had advanced altogether four ranks of spirit power.
Big Sausage Uncle Oscar, seventy fifth ranked food type utility Spirit
Sage. Food type spirits were after all difficult to cultivate, to raise
three ranks in more than a year, even though two ranks came from
rewards, still made Oscar very satisfied.
Thousand Hands Asura Tang San, eightieth ranked control type
battle Spirit Sage. Due to Tang San not being rewarded with a rank
with each trial, his comrades’ spirit power was gradually catching up.
Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun, seventy sixth ranked power attack
type battle Spirit Sage. Relying on the benefits of the ten headed
fierce yang serpent neidan, plus the superiority of the Phoenix spirit,
he had finally surpassed Oscar, no longer the weakest in spirit
power among the seven devils.
Soft Bones Demon Rabbit Xiao Wu, spirit power unclear, body
strength increased, trial rewards superimposed.
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Ning Rongrong, seventy sixth rank support
type utility Spirit Sage.
Hell Civet Zhu Zhuqing, seventy seventh rank agility attack type
battle Spirit Sage. At present her spirit power was second only to
Tang San and Dai Mubai.
Three months rest let the Shrek Seven Devils return to peak
condition, whether mentally or physically. Without outside pressure,
they understood that even with another half year of bitter cultivation,
it might be very difficult for their spirit power to rise further. Thus, it
would be better to complete the mission ahead of time. They’d
already been away for no short time, and they still didn’t know the
difficulty of the trials coming later on. After talking it over, they
decided to find the Devil Spirit Great White Shark flock, and
complete the fourth trial, Shark Whale Battle.
Readying the essentials, the seven devils prepared to set out.
Originally Ma Hongjun didn’t agree to let Bai Chenxiang come along.
After all, facing formidable sea spirit beasts was extremely
dangerous. But no matter what was said Bai Chenxiang insisted. The
reason she gave was that she wanted to be a scout, explaining that
she would be unlikely to be in danger at high altitude.
Helplessly, Ma Hongjun could only agree.
Even though Seagod Island was large, with everyone’s strength they
very soon reached the outermost edges of the island.
Setting foot on that soft silvery beach, everyone couldn’t help sharing
knowing smiles. Three years ago, when they landed here with
nervous hearts, which of them could have thought that in just three
years, they would all have gone from sixty something ranked
strength to presently being more than seventy fifth ranked on
average, truly reaching the degree of Spirit Master experts? Tang
San had even reached a frightening eighty ranks. In fact, this year he
was still only twenty four. In the whole history of the Spirit Master
world, his should be the most powerful on record.
 236 – Fourth Trial, Shark Whale
Battle

Overlooking the sea, Oscar said:

“How do we find Xiao Bai? Don’t tell me we go in the sea? If by
some chance she isn’t here, what do we do if we run into her
offspring, and they attack when they don’t recognize us?”
Tang San smiled slightly,
“Don’t worry, I have ways. Fatty, you and me go.”
Speaking, he didn’t release his spirit, but rather directly used the
Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone flight ability to rise into the air.
Ma Hongjun didn’t dare be slow, starting Phoenix Ascension, his
wings flapped lightly, and he followed Tang San to soar in the air.
Along with his strength increasing, he no longer needed to worry
about his Phoenix Ascension flight ability, even without the Spirit
Avatar, this third spirit ability was still enough to support him for
regular flight.
“Release your spirit avatar and domain. Fire and water oppose each
other, and Xiao Bai is also very familiar with your aura. As long as
she’s in the nearby sea, she’ll definitely be able to sense it. I’ll help
you expand your domain area.”
“Fine.”
Ever since taking the ten headed fierce yang serpent neidan, even
though Ma Hongjun didn’t mention it, he took Tang San’s word as
law. In his eyes, Tang San wasn’t just a brother, at the same time he
was also a benefactor. The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower had
neutralized his evil fire, making him truly possess a fire phoenix spirit.
The ten headed fierce yang serpent neidan had even more pushed
his strength to another level, especially when he got the domain
ability it was possible for Title Douluo to possess. These were favors
he would never dare forget. He knew that Tang San didn’t like him
keeping track of this, and so he hid it in his heart. Fatty had inwardly
long since decided that, no matter where Tang San was in the future,
that was where he would would be. What Tang San asked him to do,
he would do.
As the Seven Headed Fire Phoenix appeared in the sky, even the
sun paled. Dazzling tail flames made the sky shimmer with orange
red radiance. As Ma Hongjun controlled his spirit avatar to float in
midair, his Seven Headed Phoenix Domain began to spread.
Circle after circle of orange red light swiftly spread out, scorching
hot explosive aura descended from above, making not only the air
temperature rise, but at the same time washing everything in the
surroundings, revealing the dignity of the Phoenix.
Just at this moment, Tang San’s eyes brightened, two lines of deep
blue light quietly shot out. The two rays of light joined together in
midair, and directly fell on the spot between Fatty’s eyebrows. In an
instant, the domain emanating from Fatty that could only cover three
hundred meters in diameter became one thousand meters. And that
golden red light also became even more intense, just like a giant
barrier of light appeared in the air above the sea near Seagod
Island. Terrifying pressure made the almost still water begin the
tremble. On the surface, sea spirit beasts had already begun to stick
their heads up, but on seeing that terrifying presence in the air, they
didn’t dare have the slightest thought of attacking.
What Tang San helped Ma Hongjun was his spiritual force, which had
reached the highest level just like the Purple Demon Eye. Using that
boundless force, gently infused into Ma Hongjun’s spiritual world,
provoked his spiritual force to instantly rise for a short while,
frantically absorbing the fire element in the air and transforming it
into the spreading phoenix power. This process was simple to
describe, but was in fact quite difficult in practice. If not for Tang
San’s spiritual force being so much higher than Ma Hongjun’s, it
wouldn’t have been doable. After all, no matter how Ma Hongjun
trusted him, if the spiritual world was invaded, the body would
instinctively resist. But right now his spiritual force was infused with
Tang San’s vast Purple God Light, and even resistance was
impossible. And Tang San himself also clearly understood that, just
because the Purple Demon Eye had risen to the Boundless realm,
he could also finally in a true sense confront any Title Douluo below
the ninety fifth rank. He was confident even without an eighth spirit
ring.
Along with Fatty’s domain spreading, before long, white triangular
fins began to appear on the surface of the gradually boiling sea. As
the ocean calmed once again, at least several dozen Devil Spirit
Great White Sharks showed their backs. As the guardians of the
Seagod Island, how could they not react to a sudden provocation
from the sky?
Before Tang San and Ma Hongjun could speak up, the closest thirty
Devil Spirit Great White Sharks raised their heads simultaneously,
emanating circular light waves, simultaneously rushing towards Tang
San and Ma Hongjun. Just like how Xiao Bai once used the Despair
Light Wave.
Even though these Devil Spirit Great White Sharks by far couldn’t
compare to Xiao Bai, right now they still won out in quantity.
Launching a coordinated attack in unison, the large scale Devil Spirit
Light Wave targeted Tang San and ma Hongjun. Even though Fatty
was in Spirit Avatar state, he still felt a burst of trembles. After all,
these Devil Spirit Great White Sharks in front of them might all be of
the ten thousand year level!
Tang San still didn’t mind. Silently watching the light waves rising
below, he raised his right hand and pressed at the space between
his eyebrows. Instantly, with his head as center, intense deep blue
light suddenly spread out, just like an ocean wave rolling out. On
meeting this blue energy, all the light waves immediately melted
quietly into nothing. Both were spiritual energy attacks, but there
was no kind of collision between both sides, it felt as if the Devil
Spirit Great White Shark group’s Despair Light Wave was swallowed
by the blue light Tang San released.
“We are Xiao Bai’s friends, we have no bad intentions, we just need
to find Xiao Bai. I’ll trouble you all to notify her.”
Tang San didn’t speak these words out loud, but rather transmitted it
through the wave like blue light he released. A situation that was
previously unimaginable was now something he could easily resolve.
In these days of research, Tang San discovered that his spiritual
force really had risen to a brand new level. He couldn’t say just what
this level meant, but he also discovered a lot of clever uses. For
example communicating with those of the same level, just like he did
with Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi. There was also the present way of
transmitting his thoughts via his spiritual force to those with vastly
lower spiritual abilities. This wasn’t communicating, but rather
unilaterally imposing his thoughts on the counterparts’ minds. Of
course, such an imposition could naturally easily transform into an
attack. If the previous Purple God Light could be described as a
single target attack, then the current Boundless level Purple God
Light could conduct area attacks, and moreover with even more
power than the previous single target attack.
Tang San was still getting the hang of even more clever uses of
spiritual force, but he already believed that the Purple God Light
rising to the Boundless level brought him advantages that absolutely
weren’t inferior to Spirit Avatar.
The blue light he released wasn’t simply the Purple Demon Eye from
before, at the same time it fused the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud’s Vast
Sea Violent Wave ability. After the mind condensing wisdom skull
bone fused with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it was equivalent to
merging his Purple God Light with the four original abilities of the
Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. That was also the reason why Tang San
didn’t dare be certain of his skull bone’s present level. After all, even
hundred thousand year spirit bones couldn’t possess more than two
abilities. But now he really did possess four such abilities, and that
still didn’t count the clever uses of his spiritual force after it
advanced.
Sensing the message Tang San transmitted, the Devil Spirit Great
White Shark’s in the sea were a bit restless. Even if the spiritual
force Tang San impressed on their minds didn’t bring much pressure,
it still broke through their mental defenses. All the Devil Spirit Great
White Sharks gave up on attacking and submerged in the sea.
“It’s done.”
Tang San called out to ma Hongjun, indicating he withdraw his Spirit
Avatar.
Fatty returned to his original form, employing Phoenix Ascension to
hover next to Tang San as he looked at this third brother with a
somewhat strange gaze.
“What? Don’t recognize me? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Tang San somewhat laughing looked at Fatty.
Ma Hongjun sighed disappointedly:
“Third brother, you’re giving me a more and more impenetrable
feeling. Just how strong are you really?”
Tang San laughed out loud:
“What are you doing wondering about that? No matter how strong I
am, you’re still always my good brother! That just now was just a
way to release spiritual force. Using the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.”
Ma Hongjun smiled:
“Anyway, afterwards I’ll be following you. The stronger you are the
better. Gives your little brother some face too. Haha.”
Just as the two were chatting, the sea below them heaved once
again, and Xiao Bai’s familiar silhouette appeared before them all.
The giant shark head broke the surface, and looked somewhat
bewildered at Tang San. The information she had gotten from her kin
was unbelievable. When she watched him now, nothing seemed
different about Tang San! Could it be that, in the altogether one year
and change they hadn’t met, this fellow had yet another good
fortune?
“Xiao Baibai.”
Ma Hongjun called out with a somewhat bantering tone.
Xiao Bai snapped:
“You call me Xiao Baibai? That name is exclusively for the lord
Seagod’s use. You human’s can’t use it. What are you looking for me
for?”
Oscar said from the shore:
“Xiao Bai, don’t go asking questions when you know the answer.
Don’t tell me you don’t know our fourth trial is related to you?”
Hearing the words ‘fourth trial’, Xiao Bai’s eyes clearly grew a bit
more serious, and she replied:
“You’ve already finished preparing?”
Tang San and Ma Hongjun floated down, landing on the beach. Xiao
Bai also flew out of the seawater, transforming into human form in
front of everyone.
Tang San said:
“We only have one year to pass the rial. Even if we keep cultivating,
it’ll still be very difficult for us to make any major breakthroughs in
that time. So we plan to finish the mission a bit early.”
Xiao Bai’s elegant brows wrinkled. Under the sunshine, her body
reflected a grey blue light,
“The Evil Spirit Orca’s aren’t that easy to deal with. They're not as
well spoken as me, they’re all extremely savage fellows of the
ocean. Besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who can awe
them somewhat, those bastards have always been rampaging
without fear in the sea.”
Dai Mubai said:
“Then what level of strength do these Evil Spirit Orcas have? Our
mission must be completed. I assume the bastards you mention and
your Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan don’t have a very good
relationship.”
“Good? Of course it’s very good.”
Xiao Bai gnashed her teeth:
“My little brother died in the jaws of the Evil Spirit Orca King. If I had
the strength, I would long ago have eradicated that stain on the
ocean. There are levels among us sea spirit beasts too. Generally
speaking, we Devil Spirit Great White Sharks, Deep Sea Demon
Whales and Evil Spirit Orcas are all considered at the top of the
marine food chain. But in fact, there’s also a certain gap between
the three of us. The Deep Sea Demon Whales are undoubtedly the
strongest, but this clan is also quite rare. Moreover, they all live
alone. Moreover, the Deep Sea Demon Whales are completely lazy,
ordinarily they’ll only open those idiotically giant mouths and wait for
food to deliver itself. And besides the Deep Sea Demon Whales, the
strongest would be the Evil Spirit Orcas. Even though I don’t want to
admit it, those stains on the sea are a bit stronger than us.”
At this point, Xiao Bai’s eyes displayed an intense loathing,
“The Evil Spirit Orcas are a kind of sea spirit beasts extremely
addicted to killing. Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King won’t
lightly provoke them. Because the Evil Spirit Orcas are flock spirit
beasts, and because they have practically no natural predators, the
have quite considerable numbers. These stains on the sea are
absolutely unrestrained in the ocean, they’ll constantly kill even if
they don’t need food, when they encounter any creatures they’ll tear
them to pieces without a trace of politeness. Any sea spirit beast is
brimming with hatred of them. Just that they’re so strong that
nobody dares step up and challenge them. There’s an Evil Spirit
Orca flock about five hundred li from here. They’re our old enemies.
There’s a holy war between our two clans every few decades or
centuries.”
Seeing that the subject of Evil Spirit Orcas was clearly a bit taboo to
Xiao Bai, Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t help asking:
“You lost?”
Xiao Bai nodded unwillingly,
“We’re at a disadvantage each time. If it wasn’t because they don’t
dare approach Seagod Island, for fear of drawing the lord Seagod’s
wrath, even our clan might have already ceased to exist.”
Tang San said:
“Since we’ll have to confront them, Xiao Bai, give us a detailed
description of the Evil Spirit Orcas.”
Xiao Bai said:
“Adult Evil Spirit Orcas are twenty to twenty five meters long. They
have robust bodies, sharp teeth, as well as formidable abilities of all
kinds. One Evil Spirit Orca is enough to fight two of our clansmen to
a standstill. These savages never leave survivors. As long as they
hold the advantage, they’re bound to tear the opponent to shreds.
The Evil Spirit Orca flock has around three hundred overall,
approximately two hundred adults. About the same as us. To us, the
only thing worth being happy about might be that their fertility isn’t
equal to ours. Otherwise, their numbers would be even scarier. One
might say that, if we’re speaking about the area led by the Evil Spirit
Orca King, then this clan is already qualified to challenge the Deep
Sea Demon Whale King. Or course, that might also lead to their clan
being exterminated, so they’ve never dared directly enter the Deep
Sea Demon Whale King’s domain.”
The Shrek Seven Devils looked at each other, and Oscar swallowed:
“Then, that means our fourth task of helping you exterminate the Evil
Spirit Orca flock, is equivalent to taking on half a Deep Sea Demon
Whale attack?”
Xiao Bai snorted disdainfully:
“Why? Scared? If you’re scared you can not go.”
Little Ao imitated her appearance to snort as well,
“I actually want to not go, but if I don’t, my black level six tests trial
will have my life. Besides, so what if it’s a hundred Evil Spirit Orcas?
How do you know we won’t win?”
Xiao Bai’s expression seemed extraordinarily serious,
“I don’t care about whether you have courage or strength. I’m
worried about my kin. It’s after decades of recovery that my clan
has managed to reach its present state. Just in case you aren’t
strong enough, and can’t exterminate the Evil Spirit Orca flock, then
my kin will pay with our lives.”
Listening to Xiao Bai, the Shrek Seven devils all grew silent. When it
involved the lives of Xiao Bai’s kin, they had no choice but to be
careful. However, the trial was before them, could they really not
go?
After a long time, it was still Tang San who spoke up,
“Xiao Bai, I can’t guarantee your kin won’t be harmed. But I can
promise you, if this operation fails, then we will definitely die in front
of you. Please believe me, we won’t treat our own lives as a joke.
Even if you were our second trial examiner, you should understand
that we regard you as a friend. Your kin are all naturally also our
friends. I can only say, we will make all effort to reduce the
casualties of your clan. If you really aren’t willing to participate in this
fight, then we’ll trouble you to see us there, and we’ll confront them
on our own.”
Xiao Bai was silent, watching Tang San with a burning gaze,
“Can we not go? This isn’t just your trial, it’s also the lord Seagod’s
mission to us. Exterminate the Evil Spirit Orca flock for the peace of
our home sea. As servants of the lord Seagod, we are duty bound.
Since you say you’ve already prepared, we’ll set off.”
While speaking, Xiao Bai turned to the sea, gaped and issued a
bizarre humming sound. Just at the start the sound was very weak,
but as time passed, the sound gradually grew greater, so much that
it even suppressed the sound of the waves.
The water in front of Seagod Island boiled, and strong white figures
began to reveal their triangular fins on the surface, arrayed in a neat
formation. A picture of two hundred devil spirit great white sharks in
formation formed. These great white sharks were all more than
fifteen meters long, and each emanated powerful energy
fluctuations. Hidden under the seawater, they were like an army at
the ready.
The sound Xiao Bai was making came to an end. Turning, she once
again looked at Tang San,
“Tang San, I know you will experience the Seagod nine trials.
Otherwise a trial like this absolutely wouldn’t appear. Before leaving,
I have something I hope you can promise me.”
Tang San said without the slightest hesitation:
“Speak. As long as I can do it, I absolutely won’t decline.”
Xiao Bai’s expression grew a bit gentler, but her eyes were still
completely serious,
“If I can’t return alive this time, then there are still more than a
hundred of my clan’s juvenile devil spirit great white sharks in this
area, I hope you can help look after them. Can you?”
Tang San’s heart shook, not because of Xiao Bai’s conditions, but
rather because of Xiao Bai’s lonely tone. Clearly, she wasn’t
optimistic about the coming battle.
“Xiao Bai, don’t be pessimistic. We will definitely win, definitely
return alive. Not just us, but you and your kin. Those juvenile devil
spirit great white sharks will still wait for your protection. You might
not know, but Rongrong’s fourth mission is to guarantee your
survival. If you die, it would be the same as our missions failing.”
Xiao Bai was distracted, looking astonished at Ning Rongrong.
Muttering to herself:
“So, the lord Seagod didn’t abandon his servants. Don’t tell me we
really won’t need to die?”
Oscar gathered by Xiao Bai,
“It seems you’re quite afraid of that Evil Spirit Orca King, weren’t you
always very arrogant? You’re both hundred thousand year spirit
beasts, how can the gap be that big?”
“Bullshit, who’d be afraid of that bastard?”
Xiao Bai’s tone was angry, and with one slap she sent Oscar flying
to one side, saying.
“Let’s go.”
Speaking, she leapt up, diving into the ocean and returning to her
original form.
Oscar rolled to a stop on the ground. He pleasantly discovered that,
even though Xiao Bai’s slap hadn’t used any force, there wasn’t any
of the pain that still should have appeared. His bones and flesh had
automatically unloaded the force when he was slapped. It might look
like a miserable situation, but it actually didn’t even hurt.
The Shrek Seven Devils leapt up simultaneously, and under Xiao
Bai’s directions they mounted seven especially large devil spirit great
white sharks. Xiao Bai went first, fiercely leaping forwards. Two
hundred devil spirit great white sharks followed closely behind,
bringing the Shrek Seven Devils directly for the deep sea.
Tang San held Xiao Wu close as he stood on the back of a devil
spirit great white shark. With his present strength, even though the
sharks’ backs were extremely slippery, he still wouldn’t fall. Even
though Oscar and Ning Rongrong were in difficult straits, relying on
the Spriit Sage level body control as well as their strengthened
physiques, even if they couldn’t stand on the sharks like Tang San
did, they could still ride on their backs and keep stable by grabbing
their dorsal fins.
In the true ocean, the Shrek Seven Devils directly experienced the
powerful side of the devil spirit great white sharks. Braving the wind
and the waves, their speed forward was something no boat could
compare to. The whistling sea breeze cut at them like knives, and
the surrounding seawater turned into a blue haze as it constantly
swept past on either side. That kind of feeling could be called
extremely provoking, and extremely thrilling.
Even Bai Chenxiang flying in the air, widely known for her speed,
also had to use her second spirit ability to not fall behind.
This was the embodiment of the devil spirit great white sharks’ true
strength. In the ring sea, because it was too small, Xiao Bai had
never revealed her true strength. However, discovering it made even
the Shrek Seven Devils alert. Such powerful devil spirit great white
sharks still feared their targets, the evil spirit orcas, this clearly
showed the difficulty of their fourth trial.
The devil spirit great white sharks moved forward, and Tang San
didn’t stay idle either. With the devil spirit great white sharks for
transportation, he could also wholeheartedly consider tactics.
Without a doubt, the Evil Spirit Orcas were extremely powerful, so
much so that it was even double that of the devil spirit great white
shark flock. Could the seven of them really deal with more than a
hundred of the apex spirit beasts of the ocean? Xiao Bai clearly
couldn’t defeat the Evil Spirit Orca King. Even the ordinary evil spirit
orcas already made them overextended, let alone speaking of
helping Xiao Bai.
With both sides’ strength in mind, even if Tang San was confident in
himself, he absolutely wouldn’t go meet force with force.
Intelligence was also equally a part of strength. One could imagine,
since the evil spirit orca flock was this powerful, then they would
inevitably have traits of arrogance and overconfidence. Even if they
ultimately won a frontal confrontation, the devil spirit great white
shark flock would also take disastrous losses. That wasn’t
something Tang San wished to see. Xiao Bai’s sorrowful expression
was always deeply branded in his mind. Since that was the case, he
wanted to think of some other way.
Five hundred li wasn’t close, but with the astonishingly fast devil spirit
great white sharks way of travel, it still wouldn’t be more than a
couple of hours. At Tang San’s request, Xiao Bai commanded her
clan to stop when they were fifty li away.
Tang San let out the Dragon Abyss Boat, giving the Shrek Seven
Devils somewhere to stand. He also called over Xiao Bai. Even
always curious about new things as she was, right now she still
didn’t have the heart to appreciate the boat, only quietly sitting there
contemplating.
Tang San said:
“Xiao Bai, are you still worried?”
Xiao Bai rolled her eyes at him, as if saying, if your clan was about
to be trapped in danger, don’t tell me you wouldn’t be worried?
Tang San smiled slightly:
“Right now I have a method that might minimize our losses. I don’t
know if you’re willing to try it?”
Xiao Bai’s eyes brightened,
“Method? What method? Tell me. The devil spirit orcas have a kind
of ripple scanning method. As long as creatures with energy appear
within ten li, they won’t be able to hide, and will immediately suffer
devastating attacks. If you want to use some little tricks to deal with
them, give up on the idea immediately. If it was that easy, we would
have gotten rid of them long ago.”
Light flashed in Tang San’s eyes:
“Scanning abilities are unrelated to my plan. I only ask you, do the
evil spirit orcas fear poison?”
Xiao Bai looked distracted,
“Poison? Medical poison? That’s right, we sea spirit beasts have
abilities to resist poison. But don’t forget how large our bodies are.
Adding on formidable spirit power, even if we ate a large amount of
poison we could rely on our natural immunity to resist it. The poison
of poisonous serpents can be said to be the strongest in the sea.
But both we and the evil spirit orcas can use them as food. What
poison do you have that’s stronger than poisonous serpents?
Besides, if you spread the poison in the sea, with the evil spirit
orcas’ vigilance, they’d very quickly discover it, only making them
even more savage.”
Tang San smiled calmly:
“Don’t mind that. I only ask you, do you dare go into danger with me,
you and me?”
Xiao Bai frowned,
“You and me? You’re not planning on having us two go attack the evil
spirit orcas?”
Tang San said:
“Of course it’s not attack, it’s to raid. Don’t tell me you don’t know
about something called assassination?”
Xiao Bai looked at Tang San,
“I don’t understand, what way do you have to approach the evil spirit
orca flock without being discovered.”
Tang San smiled slightly,
“Then watch.”
Pointing to his forehead, in an instant, he disappeared without
warning right before Xiao Bai’s eyes.
Xiao Bai opened her eyes wide, her formidable spiritual force
suddenly spreading out to examine the place Tang San was. But she
was shocked to discover that Tang San seemed to actually have
truly disappeared. Her spiritual force spread to an area several
hundred meters in diameter without discovering a trace of Tang San.
So much that she even raised her hand and waved it where Tang
San stood before, but still didn’t touch anything substantial.
“Tang San is?”
Xiao Bai looked to Oscar.
Oscar spread his hands,
“How should I know? Didn’t you say he had no way to approach the
evil spirit orcas without being discovered?”
Xiao Bai excitedly said:
“I believe it, how could I still not believe it? Hurry up and come out,
tell me your plan. As long as we can annihilate those stains on the
sea, I’ll dare anything.”
Faint blue light flashed, and Tang San’s silhouette reappeared in
sight, still standing where he was before, so much so that he hadn’t
even changed his posture, as if he’d never moved.
“Tang San, how did you do it?”
Xiao Bai asked excitedly.
Tang San smiled:
“This is an ability of mine. Capable of hiding us. I’ll need you as my
mount, that way I can come and go without leaving a trace. You’re
right, I don’t have any certainty of being able to poison the evil spirit
orcas, however, how can I understand the level of their immunity
without trying? Besides, poison is only the first present I’ve prepared
for them.”
Xiao Bai laughed out loud,
“Since that’s the case, what are we still waiting for?”
Tang San waved to Oscar, and simultaneously placed Xiao Wu into
his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse.
Oscar got the meaning and threw over a length of sausages, all pink
and dark green. As for Xiao Wu, that was something Tang San
couldn’t help. If he was going to take risks, Xiao Wu had already
threatened him via his soul that he had to take her along. Tang San
had made a supreme effort to oppose, and finally the two had
reached a compromise, Xiao Wu would be in the Wishful Hundred
Treasure Purse, that could also be considered following at his side.
Dai Mubai said:
“Doesn’t the devil spirit orcas’ scanning ability only reach ten li? Then
shouldn’t we move forward a bit, at least to twenty li away from
them. That way we could support you better.”
Tang San and Xiao Bai shook their heads practically simultaneously,
and Tang San said.
“Even if the evil spirit orcas’ sensing range is limited, we absolutely
can’t be careless. Just in case we let them discover our main army
and come to attack, forcing us into a frontal confrontation, we
couldn’t bear the losses. You wait here for my signal. Hold back the
troops unless I signal. Xiao Bai, let’s go.”
Xiao Bai couldn’t wait any longer, and with a leap dove into the
ocean transforming into her original form. Tang San floated over, the
tips of his toes poking her head. The immense white silhouette
instantly accelerated, heading straight out.
Tang San used spirit power to block the oncoming wind, and asked
Xiao Bai:
“Can you sense the precise location of the evil spirit orca flock?
Would they be constantly changing location?”
Xiao Bai said:
“Don’t worry, if I didn’t have even this ability, I wouldn’t be suited to
leading the tribe. As long as we’re within fifty li of them, I can catch
their scent. In terms of sense of smell, there are no spirit beasts in
the ocean that can compare to us devil spirit great white sharks.”
Without being held back by her clansmen, Xiao Bai’s speed rose to
the limit, even when Tang San used Boundless eye to sense the
changes in the surroundings, he still couldn’t completely grasp the
changes in the surrounding seawater. Such an absolute speed in the
sea wasn’t any slower than the needle tailed swift flying in the sky.
In practically just a few breaths, Xiao Bai’s speed gradually dropped,
her voice clearly lowered,
“We’re already less than twenty li or so away from them. I propose
we don’t approach further. Even though that Evil Spirit Orca King is
repulsive, he really is powerful. I’m afraid it might discover my
spiritual fluctuations if we approach.”
Tang San nodded.
“Fine, then here is fine. Let’s dive.”
While speaking, he pointed to his forehead, and blue light quietly
appeared, enveloping him and Xiao Bai, and they noiselessly entered
the sea.
As Xiao Bai was truly enveloped in this Vast Sea Barrier light, her
heart suddenly shuddered. That energy fluctuation was so familiar.
After sensing this familiar aura, her originally hesitant heart no longer
wavered, on the contrary becoming incomparably stable. She
brought Tang San to swiftly dive into the ocean.
After the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud fused with Tang San’s mind
condensing wisdom skull bone, Tang San had discovered that when
he used this ability, it no longer restricted movement, and he wouldn’t
be revealed even when in motion. But there were still limits, he
couldn’t use any abilities, if he did, the hiding effect would
immediately disappear.
 237 – Assassinating Evil Spirit
Orcas

However, with the Vast Sea Barrier, he basically didn’t need to worry
about breathing underwater. The Vast Sea Barrier only enveloped his
and Xiao Bai’s skin, and with his Boundless spiritual force control, it
wouldn’t influence Xiao Bai’s movements in the slightest. In order to
reduce the drag force, Tang San leaned against Xiao Bai’s back,
using one hand on Xiao Bai’s dorsal fin to stabilize himself.
One man and one shark stealthily moved towards the formidable
opponents in such a manner. Whether Tang San or Xiao Bai, right
now their hearts were filled with nervousness. But besides
nervousness, there was still some excitement.
Xiao Bai grew stealthier the deeper they went. Relying on the sharp
senses of a hundred thousand year spirit best, she discovered that
the Vast Sea Barrier Tang San released could not only hide them
visually, but also completely suppressed their auras within the
barrier, without leaking. But even so, she remained completely
cautious.
The sea was very deep in this area. Gradually, Tang San began to
feel a formidable pressure. However, with that year of cultivation in
the Seagod’s Light, had long since given him a formidable resistance
to pressure. His spirit power adjusted automatically under the
pressure, and his vast spiritual force also subsequently fluctuated,
adjusting the Vast Sea Barrier so it wouldn’t be so exhausting.
“We’re here.”
Xiao Bai’s voice was low. Slightly raising her head, she indicated the
waters ahead.
By now, Xiao Bai had already brought Tang San at least five hundred
meters deep, and the immense water pressure made the Vast Sea
Barrier constantly ripple.
Closing his eyes and concentrating, gentle spiritual fluctuations
quietly spread out. Xiao Bai was shocked to discover that when the
spiritual energy Tang San released left his body, it instantly melded
with the surrounding seawater, and even someone with her
capabilities couldn’t feel anything. That spiritual fluctuations actually
really became a part of the sea. This already exceeded Xiao Bai’s
experience.
As far as she knew, any spiritual energy attack had a form that could
be traced, and even spiritual force probes should have spiritual
fluctuations. But when she concentrated her whole attention on the
spiritual force Tang San released, she still ended up with nothing.
The seawater above her head was still calm, without any movement.
Xiao Bai had forgotten one thing, her experience really was correct.
Any spiritual force release would leave a trace that could be
followed, but in order to track someone’s spiritual force, first of all
the gap to your own spiritual force couldn’t be too large. Of course,
this couldn’t be blamed on her. How could she knew that her spiritual
power was actually at a lower level than that of Tang San?
Tang San lay prostrate on Xiao Bai’s back, one hand grabbing her
dorsal fin, the other hand pushing on her back. A gentle spiritual
fluctuation quietly transmitted. Xiao Bai was first distracted, but
sensing that the fluctuation held no malice, she hesitantly used her
own spiritual force to connect with it.
As the two spiritual energies touched, Xiao Bai only felt her spiritual
world suddenly flash, countless clear scenes appearing in her mind.
This, this was? Spiritual scan transmission? Xiao Bai was
gobsmacked. She realized what level Tang San’s spiritual force had
reached. With her ability, of course she could also perceive
everything in her surroundings with spiritual scanning, but right now
she still didn’t dare do it. Because if she extended her spiritual force,
she would definitely be discovered by the evil spirit orcas, and would
immediately be besieged. But the information Tang San currently
transmitted to her was not only clearer than her own, basically none
of the evil spirit orcas in the sea area ahead reacted.
Xiao Bai finally understood. Being able to reach this level of scanning
only meant one thing, that Tang San’s spiritual force had already
surpassed all the evil spirit orcas, including the evil spirit orca king.
Tang San had no idea what Xiao Bai was thinking. He only
transmitted his wholehearted spiritual force scan. Just as Xiao Bai
felt, right now his spiritual force was already perfectly melded with
the seawater. The seawater became the best concealment. Unless it
was someone with as formidable spiritual force as Seagod Douluo
Bo Saixi, they absolutely wouldn’t be able to find a single clue from
the seawater. The evil spirit orcas above naturally wouldn’t be able
to either.
Through the spiritual force scan, Tang San saw the appearance of
the evil spirit orcas for the first time. They were consistently built
more than twice as large as the devil spirit great white sharks, their
bodies extremely robust, without the sleek aesthetic of the devil
spirit great white sharks, but looking filled with power. Their whole
bodies were grey and black. Their heads especially enormous.
When they occasionally opened their mouths, they revealed
frightening giant teeth like swords. Deep red eyes were filled with a
violent aura. In this sea region, besides these evil spirit orcas, there
unexpectedly were no other living creatures in the ocean. That
showed of tyrannical they were.
It seemed that there were around two or three hundred of these evil
spirit orcas, and the majority were adults. One especially enormous
fellow, more than thirty meters long, floated in the center of the
whole flock. Grey black skin glinted with metallic lustre. No need to
ask, this was naturally the Evil Spirit Orca King. It was also the
ultimate target of Tang San’s fourth trial.
These evil spirit orcas cruised within a range of more than then
thousand meters square. No creatures in the sea would intrude into
their area of influence. To hunt food they would have to go even
further out. Right now these evil spirit orcas looked like they had
already eaten their fill. There were some that floated motionless,
seemingly resting.
“Let’s go. Move a bit slowly, don’t cause too much movement in the
water.”
Tang San instructed Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai felt very strange right now. With Tang San’s spiritual force
probe, she basically didn’t need to see with her eyes, she could
move forward with the guidance of Tang San’s spiritual force. Even if
the Vast Sea Barrier helped them hide, so much that it had the effect
of nothingness, their volume still existed. If they moved quickly they
would still cause movement in the water, therefore Tang San warned
her in advance.
Xiao Bai was after all a hundred thousand year spirit beast. Clearly
understanding Tang San’s intent, they slowly started moving forward
with a soft sway of her body.
Very soon, they had already arrived at a depth of two hundred
meters or so, and Tang San once again directed Xiao Bai to stop.
From the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, Tang San brushed out the
Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Extracting its crossbow bolts one by one,
he also took out a bottle from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse
the length of an arm and the thickness of a thigh. The material of the
bottle was quite special, seemingly like jade, but with a faint white
shimmer.
Tang San had gone through a lot of trouble to make this bottle. The
jade bottle had two layers, the outermost was filled with the cold
extreme yin spring, causing the appearance of the white shimmer,
and also felt extremely icy to the touch. While the inner layer was
filled with the red hot yang spring.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Blessed by the Heavens, two
existences in one well, yin and yang mutually subduing each other,
and thus the hottest and coldest thing under the heavens. Seizing the
fortune of Heaven and earth, swallowing the best features of the sun
and the moon. In terms of potency of attributes, there was nothing
that could match. Tang San had practiced the cold and hot immunity
within it.
In order to be able to bring the spring water out of the Ice and Fire
Yin Yang Well, he had gone through great trouble to find a block of
warm jade, and purchased it for a high price. Then he had found a
highly skilled craftsman to carve this double layered jade container.
He had further filled it with both kinds of yin and yang spring water at
the same time, causing its cold and heat to balance, and not corrode
the warm jade. Then he was able to bring it out of the Ice and Fire
Yin Yang Well.
Warm jade was innately moderate, and was the best utensil for
holding both kinds of spring water together.
Cautiously uncorking it, Tang San raised one hand and absorbed,
causing one drop of red hot yang liquid to fall into his palm, and then
swiftly put the lid on the bottle. Winding the mechanism of the
crossbow in his hand, he loaded the back half of a crossbow bolt
into the machine, then pulled open the hollow interior of the bolt.
Drawing a deep breath, Tang San’s movements instantly grew
illusory. In practically half an eyeblink he had instantly completed
several actions.
Pouring the red hot yang liquid into the arrowhead, swiftly closing it
up, loading it into the crossbow, and immediately fired it.
It wasn’t by choice he moved fast, but the red hot yang liquid really
was too terrifyingly hot. Even if the crossbow bolt was made from
iron essence, it could still only hold up for a moment under the red
hot yang liquid’s corrosion.
With the powerful propulsive force of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow,
the crossbow bolt broke through the water. With Tang San’s
Boundless level spiritual force guidance, it was naturally impossible
to miss. With a pu sound, it hit the abdomen of an evil spirit orca.
Even though the Godly Zhuge Crossbow was fierce, the evil spirit
orca’s skin was still even more durable. Under ordinary
circumstances, let alone at a hundred meters distance, even firing
the Godly Zhuge Crossbow’s sixteen bolts from just ten meters
distance wouldn’t be enough to penetrate the evil spirit orca.
However, there are exceptions to everything. This crossbow bolt
quietly pierced into that evil spirit orca’s abdomen.
Ever since Tang San’s spiritual force had risen, his calculation ability
had also strengthened geometrically. It really was impossible for that
crossbow bolt to pierce that evil spirit orca’s tough skin, but the
instant the bolt made contact, was also the moment the red hot yang
liquid melted the arrowhead. Incomparably hot yang liquid, propelled
forward with the crossbow bolt, easily melted that evil spirit orca’s
hide, directly stabbing into its body. There was no blood. With the
intense heat of the yang liquid, just as the crossbow bolt entered the
evil spirit orca’s body, the wound was already bound shut.
Being hit by the crossbow bolt, that evil spirit orca’s giant body first
paused a moment. Then immediately after, it suddenly raged. That
degree of madness made even Xiao Bai jump. Tang San’s spiritual
force guided her to quickly dive, and moreover constantly
transmitted into her mind the results of the spiritual force probe.
In Tang San’s spiritual force survey, that evil spirit orca hit by the
crossbow bolt madly churned the seawater, the energy contained
within its body constantly erupting uncontrollably. There were two evil
spirit orcas who discovered something was unusual and came over
to investigate, but were met by its maddened all out attack, and one
of them even had half its head bit off by it, directly dying a violent
death. A vast expanse of seawater was colored red by its blood,
immediately drawing the attention of the whole flock of orcas. The
atmosphere in the sea instantly grew nervous.
The evil spirit orca hit by the crossbow bolt didn’t struggle for too
long. Very soon after biting its comrade to death, its struggle began
to grow weaker, flipping belly up and floating towards the surface,
its survival unknown. Strangely, from the moment it was hit by the
crossbow bolt until it died, not a drop of blood left its body. The
blood coloring the seawater red all came from the orca it bit to
death.
The evil spirit orcas themselves were extremely bloodthirsty, and the
scent of blood seemed to arouse their vicious instincts. For a
moment, the energy fluctuations within the seawater instantly stirred.
Until a deep voice passed through the water like a seismic wave,
and these evil spirit orcas settled down.
The Evil Spirit Orca King moved, and reached the side of the evil
spirit orca killed by the crossbow bolt with practically just a swing of
its body. By now, that evil spirit orca was already floating on the sea
surface.
Seeing all this, Xiao Bai was inwardly shocked to the extreme. She
had of course seen Tang San shoot that crossbow bolt, but just that
the crossbow bolt could pierce that evil spirit orca alone had
astonished her. That tiny crossbow bolt and that evil spirit orca’s
giant body basically weren’t on the same scale. But it was that one
tiny crossbow bolt that not only took that evil spirit orca’s life, but
even caused it to bite another to death.
Poison, she thought of this word. Feeling Tang San laying prostrate
on her back, she couldn’t help her whole body shivering. Just what
kind of extreme poison was this terrifying? She also couldn’t help
secretly being happy that, when she was the second trial examiner,
the trial had fortunately included not harming any sea spirit beast.
Otherwise, if she was infected by such a poison, perhaps even…...
The red hot yang spring, was the most yang object under the sky.
Sea spirit beasts were largely water attributed, many related to yin.
Even though it was only a drop of red hot yang liquid that entered
that evil spirit orca, that terrifying eruption of heat had instantly
scorched that evil spirit orca’s internal organs. Its muscles and blood
vessels had subsequently also turned to coal. That was the reason it
didn’t bleed.
Before Xiao Bai could grow even more shocked, Tang San indicated
she swim to the side. With the scene just now, Xiao Bai undoubtedly
had an all new understanding of Tang San’s abilities, and hurriedly
swam away according to his instructions. Since Tang San previously
used the Godly Zhuge Crossbow instead of any abilities, he and
Xiao Bai still weren’t revealed.
All the evil spirit orcas gathered at the sea surface, the Evil Spirit
Orca King’s deep red eyes filled with a frightening aura. Suddenly
gaping in a deep roar, several water blades with a deep red aura
instantly shrieked out and hit hit that dead evil spirit orca.
The more than twenty meter giant body was instantly cut into several
chunks, exposing its charred black insides.
Seeing this, the Evil Spirit Orca King’s pupils instantly contracted, the
seawater around its body rushing up, wanting to find some clue from
this evil spirit orca’s corpse. However, the red hot yang liquid had not
only melted the organs of the evil spirit orca, but simultaneously also
most of the crossbow bolt. The remaining bit really was too small in
comparison to the evil spirit orca’s giant body. Even if the Evil Spirit
Orca King was even more powerful, it still might not find any clues.
But when the Evil Spirit Orca King’s fury burned, suddenly, there was
another commotion among the gathered Evil Spirit Orcas, the same
circumstances as before appearing once again. One especially large
Evil Spirit Orca fiercely leapt out of the water, energy frantically
erupting within its body, setting off an enormous energy wave. Due
to all the evil spirit orcas being gathered together, its eruption
immediately knocked against a few clan members next to it.
The Evil Spirit Orca King reacted extremely quickly, and moreover he
absolutely wouldn’t be lenient. Using flexibility completely
disproportional to its size it sharply turned, its giant whale tail
slapping the surface of the water, causing an incomparably
enormous deep red water blade to ruthlessly attack that evil spirit
orca, instantly cutting it into two halves.
Its internal organs were equally charred black. Another evil spirit
orca was eliminated.
Hou—— A wrathful great roar erupted from the Evil Spirit Orca
King’s mouth, the surging soundwave making the ocean in a range of
several ten thousand meters vibrate. Similar roars also issued from
the mouths of the other evil spirit orcas. For a moment, intense
energy fluctuations almost completely locked up the sea within
range. The seawater grew thick almost like gelatin, intense spiritual
fluctuations penetrating the sea directly to the seabed.
“The Evil Spirit Orca King is telling his clansmen to find the enemy
with all their strength. It’s extremely angry. Already on the edge of
madness. What do we do?”
Xiao Bai explained the meaning of the Evil Spirit Orca King’s roar to
Tang San, her words filled with schadenfreude.
Tang San calmly said:
“We’ll bide our time, they won’t find anything. They can’t keep
releasing spiritual force like this indefinitely. We’ll never tire faster
than them. Assassination requires patience.”
Under cover of the Vast Sea Barrier, using only the Godly Zhuge
Crossbow to attack, Tang San’s plan was extremely strict. He
basically wouldn’t give the opponents the opportunity to discover
him. How could he otherwise lightly put himself at risk?
Just as Tang San said, even if all the evil spirit orcas were already
moving, to the enemies hiding on the bottom of the sea, even if they
turned over the entire ocean it would still be impossible to find a
clue. In their search, the evil spirit orca closest to them almost
brushed against Xiao Bai as it swam past, still without discovering
them. Tang San wasn’t a bit concerned. He was as calm as an
ancient iceberg. He absolutely wouldn’t easily move at this time,
mystery would often cause the opponent to panic.
The evil spirit orcas’ spiritual probing continued for an hour. In this
time, the Evil Spirit Orca King’s energy would from time to time
sweep through the water, but even as the tyrants of the sea, they
still tired with time. Constantly using spiritual force to scan the sea
was in itself considerably exhausting, and ending up with nothing
after an hour, no matter how angry the Evil Spirit Orca King was, it
still had no choice but to order its clansmen to stop.
But the instant they just stopped searching, the third suddenly insane
evil spirit orca appeared. Even though the kin by its side reacted
very quickly, another evil spirit orca still had its tail bitten off.
Instantly, the just calmed evil spirit orca flock once again grew jittery.
As the tyrants of the sea, they absolutely didn’t fear the frontal
attack of any enemy, they even had the courage to fight the Deep
Sea Demon Whale King. However, in the present situation this flock
of sea tyrants still couldn’t help starting to grow panicked. An
unknown enemy was the most frightening, and seeing their kin
suddenly go insane and die miserably without any warning, how
could these evil spirit orcas not be fearful?
This time, without need for the Evil Spirit Orca King’s instruction, all
the evil spirit orcas started madly searching for the unknown enemy
within the sea, untiringly releasing their spiritual force in order to find
the slightest clue. But their true enemy had now once again dived
deeper in the sea, wearing cold smiles as they withdrew their
spiritual force to quietly rest, waiting for the next moment to act.
Tang San had brought Xiao Bai here not only to kill as many
opponents as possible, and weaken the evil spirit orca flock’s
strength, but at the same time also wear down their willpower,
exhausting their energy. Just what is called, first a burst of energy,
next waning, third exhaustion, when they are tired and I rested, thus
I win. No matter how excessive the energy of the Evil Spirit Orcas it
would still have an end. In their panic, whether mental or physical
strength would soon be exhausted. And each time they rested, Tang
San immediately launched a quiet attack, ending the life of an Evil
Spirit Orca and causing the panic to spread once again.
Over a few rounds, seven Evil Spirit Orcas had one after another
died under Tang San’s Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and even the number
of Evil Spirit Orcas injured by the mad rages had reached two digits.
To the overall clan, this work of one after another didn’t amount to
even a tenth of the whole clan dead or injured, and still wasn’t
enough to influence the clan’s strength. But it was the mental blow
these enormous deep sea creatures suffered that was
incomparable.
After each attack Tang San launched he would withdraw his spiritual
force and rest on Xiao Bai’s back. Xiao Bai even more basically
didn’t do anything tiring. But the evil spirit orca flock was already
completely in a kind of panicked and exhausted state. The Evil Spirit
Orca King several times launched maddened attacks in the sea,
trying to force out the unknown enemy. Its strength also really
shocked Tang San, but the only effect was to waste strength in vain.
As the eighth evil spirit orca died under Tang San’s Godly Zhuge
Crossbow, the Evil Spirit Orca King finally shrank back, passing
down orders for the entire flock to swiftly swim in one direction,
migrating at top speed, preparing abandoning the territory they had
lived in for untold years.
To the evil spirit orcas, changing location wasn’t any problem, and
continuing to stay here they could only see their kin die tragically for
unknown reasons. Even someone as arrogant as the Evil Spirit Orca
King had no choice but to make some plans.
“These guys want to run.”
Xiao Bai told Tang San a bit excitedly.
Tang San gave a cold snort,
“Run? These evil spirit orcas may be big, but can their speed
compare to your devil spirit great white sharks?”
Xiao Bai said proudly:
“Of course not. In the sea, in terms of long distance movement,
there are no sea spirit beasts that can compare to us. The evil spirit
orcas might be a bit stronger in terms of attack power, but they
won’t do for speed. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they have annihilated
us earlier?”
Tang San said coldly:
“Since that’s the case, let’s continue growing the panic in their
hearts. We’ll pursue.”
The ambush battle turned into a pursuit battle. Just before they
started, Tang San had Xiao Bai float to the surface, and shot a
signal flare. This was the signal to pursue. He and Dai Mubai had
agreed in advance, a green signal was for pursuit. After Xiao Bai left
behind her scent in the water, she once again entered the Vast Sea
Barrier with Tang San, and they chased straigth after the evil spirit
orca flock ahead.
The evil spirit orcas naturally also saw the dazzling light of the signal.
But since they had always lived within the ocean, how could they
know what this strange scene signified? The Evil Spirit Orca King
was of a mind to go back and investigate, but he and his clansmen
were all exhausted from Tang San’s previous sneak attacks, and
would rather run straight ahead than turn around again.
Xiao Bai didn’t exaggerate, the devil spirit great white sharks really
were faster than the evil spirit orca flock, especially as Tang San
rode on the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King. Very soon, they had
caught up to the rear of the evil spirit orca flock. This time, Tang San
attacked even more absolutely unrestrained. With the previous
experience, in a moment of work three evil spirit orcas died under his
Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Even though there was no collateral
damage since they attacked the evil spirit orcas in the back, each
dead evil spirit orca would weaken the counterparts overall strength
by a certain amount. With their tails under attack, the evil spirit orcas
had no choice but to distractedly release their spiritual force to
search the surroundings, or maybe constantly launch all manner of
attacks at the ocean.
Like this, even though they were running, they would still grow even
more exhausted.
Xiao Bai had never before felt as satisfied as today. Pursuing never
lost in speed, and seeing those stains on the sea one by one lost
their lives, her heart was filled with unprecedented confidence. SHe
secretly thought that this was an opportunity bestowed by the lord
Seagod, she absolutely couldn’t give up on such a good occasion.
This time she definitely had to thoroughly annihilate these evil spirit
orcas.
Gradually, the crossbow bolts Tang San had at hand grew fewer,
and the number of stealth killed evil spirit orcas also grew larger.
The feeling of panic never left these giant sea spirit beasts.
“It should be time for the main attack.”
After Tang San shot the forty eighth crossbow bolt, he finally put
away that jade jar containing the divine water of the Ice and Fire Yin
Yang Well. He only had those forty eight crossbow bolts on him, and
the evil spirit orcas had also suffered seventy casualties from these
forty eight bolts. Close to a quarter of their overall numbers.
Moreover, Tang San’s targets were all adult evil spirit orcas.
A red signal flare shot to teh sky. THe main attack signal was finally
issued. Xiao Bai suddenly brought Tang San back around, retreating
like a bolt of lightning.
The Devil Spirit Great White Shark Flock had always followed in the
distance. Don’t mind that they couldn’t control the distance, don’t
forget that they possessed a power the evil spirit orcas did not: that
was scouting.
Transformed into a needle-tailed swift, Bai Chenxiang had always
been high in the air. Relying on her astonishing eyesight to locate the
evil spirit orca flock, she had constantly relayed the information back
to the devil spirit great white sharks.
Even if the leaders Tang San and Xiao Bai weren’t present, Dai
Mubai, Oscar and the others were highly intelligent. Hearing Bai
Chenxiang report that the numbers of evil spirit orcas were
constantly shrinking, they understood that Tang San’s sneak attack
absolutely was successful. The green signal wasn’t to let them
attack, and so they had commanded the devil spirit great white
shark flock to follow at a distance of several dozen li. WIth Bai
Chenxiang guiding them, they didn’t have to worry about losing the
trail.
On the way, the devil spirit great white sharks constantly saw one
evil spirit orca corpse after another floating in the sea, and the
originally low morale constantly rose. With the appearance of the so
far unseen red signal, Dai Mubai immediately gave the order to
charge.
Very soon, Xiao Bai brought Tang San to converge with the devil
spirit great white shark flock. Tang San stood up once again. This
time he was standing on Xiao Bai’s back. The devil spirit great white
sharks used their full speed, and chased after the evil spirit orca
flock like two hundred white water arrows.
As they approached within a range of ten li of the evil spirit rocas,
the evil Spirit Orca King also finally discovered the state in their rear.
Sending out a mental probe, he just encountered the spiritual
fluctuations exploding from Xiao Bai. The two collided together, and
the fury the Evil Spirit Orca King had repressed for half a day
erupted completely. Brazenly turning around, it brought its clansmen
to aggressively meet the charge.
“Hou——” A water arrow shot out from behind the Evil Spirit Orca
King. Amidst roars, a deep coarse voice held fury to overflow the
sky,
“You killed my kin?”
Xiao Bai proudly said:
“That’s right, it was us. Xie Hu , do you still remember what you said
[1]

to me when you killed my little brother? Today your debt of blood will
be repaid in blood. You bastard stains on the sea, we will destroy
you on behalf of the lord Seagod.”
“Seagod? He hasn’t been seen for tens of thousands of years. You
little fish are overestimating your capabilities if you want to defy me.
How your little brother died back then, is how I will kill you today.”
On mention of her little brother, XIao Bai’s eyes immediately grew
deep read, and she brought her clansmen to charge forward with a
roar.
At the same time as Xiao Bai shot forward, Tang San stepped off
her back, soaring upwards until he was in midair, his calm gaze
falling on everyone present. He told his companions:
“First complete your missions. Rongrong, you boost Xiao Bai.”
Hong—— The two great tribes of the ocean ruthlessly collided
together. Just what is called ‘eyes growing red when meeting your
nemesis’. The devil spirit great white sharks had been bullied by the
evil spirit orcas for untold years. Now they completely erupted with
one hundred twenty percent battle power. By contrast, even though
the evil spirit orcas still instantly burst with great battle strength, they
were already completely exhausted from before, and it was basically
impossible for them to use their true strength. Even so, as the two
sides collided, the entire sea region was instantly dyed red with
blood.
Racial battles would never end without death, just like the devil spirit
great white sharks had been waiting for their chance, the evil spirit
orcas had also always waited for the opportunity to put an end to
these sea spirit beasts powerful enough to challenge them for the
title of tyrant of the sea.
“Asura, Hell.”
An ice cold voice erupted in the air, and a circle of white light
suddenly spread out with Tang San as the center. In an instant, his
whole body turned completely golden blue. Two yellow, one purple,
two black, and two red, seven spirit rings flashed simultaneously. His
seventh spirit ability Blue Silver Avatar was already released, and he
simultaneously also used the Deathgod Domain’s Asura Hell.”
The originally bloody world was instantly enveloped by an intangible
ice chill and fear, scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood
seemed to flash through the minds of all living things. But the
difference was that the devil spirit great white sharks’ side felt like
their killing intent had risen without limit, and their whole bodies
brimmed with a frantic battle lust. But on the opposite side, the evil
spirit orcas who had previously always been in a panicked state, the
instant they were enveloped by the Asura Hell, their battle lust
immediately dropped substantially. Their already tired bodies grew
even more unable to exhibit their strength, and they were forced
back step by step by the attacks of the devil spirit great white
sharks. Their own attributes were also constantly being weakened
within the Asura Hell. Each time they collided with an opponent, they
felt as if some of their courage disappeared.
If the Blue Silver Domain’s Boundless Nature could be said to give
Tang San infinite battle endurance, then this Deathgod Domain’s
Asura Hell could was the perfect domain to weaken the enemy. The
Deathgod Domain didn’t weaken the opponent’s spirit power, but
rather their mental strength. If individuals with weak willpower or
insufficient strength were trapped in this domain, they would
immediately grow insane from the fear. Moreover, the domain’s
sustained effect would constantly have a weakening result. Even if
the opponent had extremely valiant willpower, they would still
constantly be influenced.
Conversely, amplified by the Asura Hell, the devil spirit great white
sharks would feel like Asura death gods, attack speed, attack
power, as well as battle lust would constantly rise. If it went on like
this, the tired evil spirit orca floc would gradually grow unable to
resist, and more and more would be torn to shreds by the devil spirit
great white sharks.

 238 – Tang San’s Eighth Spirit
Ring

The other Shrek Seven Devils naturally wouldn’t stay idle either. In
order to complete the mission as soon as possible, Dai Mubai and
Zhu Zhuqing directly used the spirit avatar form Hell White Tiger. The
Hell White Tiger had two wings on its back, and in the spirit avatar
state, the Hell White Tiger not only could attack from the air, but
moreover didn’t lose out to the Evil Spirit Orcas below in size.
Even Xiao Bai would be at a disadvantage against the Hell White
Tiger, let alone these exhausted Evil Spirit Orcas. For a moment,
flesh and blood splashed out wherever the Hell White Tiger passed.
A great many Evil Spirit Orcas hadn’t even used any abilities before
they were those giant tiger claws had reached their head, dying with
their brains bursting out.
Ma Hongjun unfolded an offensive on his own. His strength naturally
couldn’t compare to the Hell White Tiger, but water and fire mutually
restrained each other, and his Phoenix flame was further the natural
enemy of these fish. After transforming into the Seven Headed Fire
Phoenix, his Phoenix Domain gathered around him, causing the
capability of the flame to erupt to its peak, constantly swooping
down from the air. Even though a single dive might not be able to kill
an Evil Spirit Orca, each one would still have some rewards.
Cooperating with the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks, his mission
number was still constantly rising.
Among the seven devils, if you had to say who was the most
wretched, that was undoubtedly Oscar. He also knew the principle of
fire suppressing water, and Fatty could moreover freely move in the
air with spirit avatar. Consequently, the clone mirror sausage he ate
was made from Ma Hongjun’s blood. Transforming into a single
headed Fire Phoenix, he circled in the air. He didn’t collide with the
enemy head on the way Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun
did, but rather specially picked up the leaks. As soon as he saw an
Evil Spirit Orca wounded and close to death, he immediately dove
down and ended its life. Even though this was a bit wretched, his
mission score still didn’t fall behind.
If the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks and Evil Spirit Orcas could be
described as colliding armies, then the Shrek Seven Devils were
undoubtedly the generals leading the Devil Spirit Great White Shark
forces. With them in the lead, helped by Tang San’s Deathgod
Domain, for a moment they swept everything before them. The
number of Evil Spirit Orca casualties was constantly climbing. Blood
splashed, and immense energy fluctuations constantly erupted from
the sea.
Tang San didn’t stay idle in the air either. As the soul of the Shrek
Seven Devils, everything he did now was to control the overall
situation. In the spirit avatar state, there was always a Blue Silver
Overlord Spear condensed on his right hand. When there were Devil
Spirit Great White Sharks in danger over there, his attack would
immediately descend. Relying on his terrifying spiritual force, there
was nothing about the Blue Silver Overlord Spear’s attack path that
wasn’t under control. With Tang San’s hidden weapons skills, one
might say that the spear never missed, and moreover always found
the Evil Spirit Orcas’ vitals.
As the battle just began, the Evil Spirit Orca King was still full of
confidence. After all, the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks had never
had the strength to resist when they’d suppressed them before. But
as he violently collided with Xiao Bai, after launching his attack, the
Evil Spirit Orca King began to discover something was wrong.
Xiao Bai who should have been suppressed by him in all aspects
was unexpectedly evenly matched with him. On Xiao Bai’s back
there was constantly one line after another of dazzling light entering
her, substantially upgrading her attack, defense, speed, strength and
all capabilities. At the same time, the Evil Spirit Orca King
discovered that its own physical strength actually didn’t even reach
seventy percent of its peak condition. Now tired for so long, Xiao Bai
whose strength was clearly weaker than him actually constantly left
wounds on his body.
What made the Evil Spirit Orca King most furious was the
surrounding Deathgod Domain’s Asura Hell effect. No matter how, he
still couldn’t display his full strength. Tied up with Xiao Bai’s attacks,
even if he wanted to go help his clansmen it was impossible. He
could only watch with open eyes as his clansmen constantly died.
The Evil Spirit Orca King understood that if it went on like this, the
might really be completely wiped out today. Even though Xiao Bai
was strong, he could still block her. But his clansmen were already
less and less able to endure. The number of casualties was far
greater than for the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks.
To be able to cultivate to the hundred thousand year level, the Evil
Spirit Orca King naturally wasn’t an idiot. He understood that the key
was Tang San hovering in the air spreading the domains. The fighting
strength of the clansmen within the enormous range of the domain
was weakened by at least ten percent, but strengthened the Devil
Spirit Great White Sharks by more than ten percent. The result of
this was that his clansmen were actually unable to defeat the Devil
Spirit Great White Sharks even when they were equal in number.
Thinking of this, Evil Spirit Orca King’s enormous body rolled sharply
in the water. Immediately after, he shot out as if fired from a bow,
tanking one of Xiao Bai’s Devil Shark’s Teeth and suffering dozens of
wounds. But he had also already charged up power, and an iron
gray pillar of water the thickness of a barrel shot out from his
blowhole, directly at Tang San in the sky.
“Careful.”
Xiao Bai snarled. Leaping up, she heavily rammed the Evil Spirit
Orca King, sending it flying. Then once again transformed into a
violent woman, attacking fiercely.
In midair, Tang San’s attention was always highly focused, as if he
was already aware the Evil Spirit Orca King would launch an attack
at him. Facing the iron grey pillar of water targeting him, Tang San
didn’t dodge. Gathering the forefinger and middle finger of his right
hand, he softly pressed the golden trident brand on his forehead,
then once again tossed downwards.
A crystalline blue triangle flew out with his cutting gesture. The
triangle expanded in the air, and in the blink of an eye its sides were
already a meter long, emanating deep blue and meeting that grey
blue jet of water head on.
The Evil Spirit Orca King’s attack could be said to be his all out
effort, in order to finish Tang San in one shot and free his clan from
the Asura Hell, otherwise he wouldn’t have tanked several of Xiao
Bai’s attacks in order to charge power.
Would Tang San dare stiffly block a hundred thousand year spirit
beast’s full strength attack? The answer was yes. That deep blue
triangle attacked the iron grey water jet from the front.
Incomparably enormous energy fluctuations erupted in midair. The
deep blue triangle spun, just like the Vast Sea Ocean Shroud. But
even though that explosive iron grey jet of water was powerful, one
could clearly see how the energy within it was separated out by the
Vast Sea Ocean Shroud, a gray aura scattered in all directions, and
countless blue specks of light were forcefully absorbed by the Vast
Sea Ocean Shroud.
What Tang San threw out of course wouldn’t be the Vast Sea Ocean
Shroud itself, but rather the Vast Sea Ocean Shroud’s ability, Cosmic
Devilbreaker. After the skull evolved, this ability had become
powered purely by the mind. Indeed, Tang San’s spirit power by far
couldn’t compare to the hundred thousand year Evil Spirit Orca King,
but his spiritual force was already on the same level as Seagod
Douluo Bo Saixi. The Vast Sea Ocean Shroud was only effective on
energy attacks. Funnily enough, in order to pursue attack power, the
iron grey jet of water the Evil Spirit Orca King spit out wasn’t actually
water, but rather his purified energy. Naturally it was stiffly blocked
by the Vast Sea Ocean Shroud.
Tang San had long since made preparations, even if the Vast Sea
Ocean Shroud couldn’t block it, he still had Invincible Golden Body
as backup. Naturally there wouldn’t be any problem.
Red light flickered, after blocking this attack, Xiao Wu also crawled
out from Tang San’s Hundred Treasure Purse, her soul returning to
her body. Tang San circled her waist with one hand, and wouldn’t let
her fall. Her trial was to accompany Tang San to complete his
missions, so staying in the Hundred Treasure Purse naturally
wouldn’t do. Now that the situation was already in order, Tang San
naturally brought her out.
With great difficulty once again warding of Xiao Bai’s attack, the Evil
Spirit Orca King’s heart sank to the bottom. Watching that sparkling
blue triangle return to Tang San’s forehead, he roared,
“It’s really the Sea…...”
Before he could finish, Xiao Bai had already pounced once again,
fiercely tearing off a huge chunk of flesh from his belly in one bite.
Tang San coldly swept the Evil Spirit Orca King with a glance, and
threw out a Blue Silver Overlord Spear with his right hand,
penetrating deeply into the head of an Evil Spirit Orca that had
almost bitten a Devil Spirit Great White Shark. His spiritual force
strengthened once again, and the Asura Hell’s tyrannical suppressive
effect rose further.
There was no longer any suspense in the battle between the Evil
Spirit Orcas and Devil Spirit Great White Sharks. Relying on the
terrifying power of the Hell White Tiger, in just a while, the Evil Spirit
Orcas that had died by Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s hands
numbered more than thirty. Fatty had also reaped thirteen. Even
Oscar had already finished his mission.
Ning Rongrong stood leisurely on the back of a Devil Spirit Great
White Shark that still hadn’t gone into battle, constantly pouring line
after line of boost abilities into Xiao Bai. The light of the Nine
Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda covered her whole body, she had
clearly already used the seventh spirit ability spirit avatar. In her
present state, boosting only Xiao Bai, she could hold out for an hour
without problem. The Nine Treasure Avatar’s greatest benefit was
was to lengthen the boosting time. At leisure, she could still
occasionally temporarily free her hands to boost some Devil Spirit
Great White Sharks who were at a disadvantage, letting them
reverse the situation.
The numbers of Evil Spirit Orcas was growing fewer and fewer. At
the start only the adult Evil Spirit Orcas had gone into battle, but
later the ones with lower cultivation had also joined in. The Devil
Spirit Great White Sharks already held an overwhelming advantage.
The Evil Spirit Orcas all clearly understood that it was impossible for
them to compete with the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks in terms of
speed, they only had some chance in a melee. Therefore there
basically was no chance for them to retreat. But unfortunately they
were enveloped in Tang San’s terrifying Deathgod Domain. Battle
spirit lowered considerably, unable to use their strength, and further
adding the Shrek Seven Devils’ highly explosive attacks, how could
they still resist.
A giant flame silhouette suddenly exploded from the Seven Headed
Fire Phoenix, causing intense phoenix flames to fall from the sky,
heavily bombarding the back of an especially enormous Evil Spirit
Orca. Amidst the explosive blast, that Evil Spirit Orca’s whole body
trembled as a large scorched black pit opened in its back. That was
the Phoenix Cloud Piercing Strike when Ma Hongjun in spirit avatar
state used the Phoenix Domain to amplify his strength.
This one attack completely destroyed this Evil Spirit Orca with at
least twenty thousand years of cultivation in one hit. Ma Hongjun then
also transformed into his human form. The spirit avatar consumed an
enormous amount of spirit power, and he couldn’t quite endure the
uninterrupted fighting. Floating in midair, he ate a few large recovery
sausages to replenish his strength.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing also rested in the back. Having equally
finished their missions, everyone’s mood relaxed.
As the numbers of both sides changed, the battle grew even more
unbalanced, the remaining Evil Spirit Orcas were besieged by at
least three or four Devil Spirit Great White Sharks, and basically
stood no chance. There was no longer need for the Shrek Seven
Devils’ assistance, so the people who had already completed their
missions could relax.
Just at this moment, suddenly, a special energy fluctuation erupted
from the middle of the battle, and Xiao Bai who had originally been
gradually suppressing the Evil Spirit Orca King was suddenly shot
out with enormous force.
The Evil Spirit Orca King’s immense body floated on the surface of
the sea, without pursuing Xiao Bai, and the original metallic sheen of
his skin was replaced by a dull gray. Incomparably immense energy
fluctuations seemed to blockade the entire sea area. A situation
similar to Xiao Bai’s third stage domain solidifying the sea appeared,
making the movement speed of both Evil Spirit Orcas and Devil Spirit
Great White Sharks lower.
“Not good.”
Xiao Bai cried out in alarm, once again charging forward. However,
the Evil Spirit Orca King was surrounded by a peculiar intangible
force that shot her out once again. At this moment, even its blood
red eyes had turned ash grey, and the space around it began to
distort violently.
“It’s going to explode, quickly stop him!”
Xiao Bai yelled in fright.
Nobody present knew what would happen if a hundred thousand
year spirit beast self detonated, but they could all imagine it. A spirit
beast with hundred thousand year cultivation simultaneously
exploding with its stored up energy and soul would be a terrifying
force. If it really happened, there might not be many present who
could survive.
Nobody had expected the Evil Spirit Orca King to be this ruthless in
its final moments, to thoroughly extinguish himself from this world in
order to bring the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks and the Shrek
Seven Devils down with him.
All the Evil Spirit Orcas showed their unreasoning power in this
moment. Not only didn’t they show the slightest thought of retreat,
but on the contrary launched their final attacks. Each Evil Spirit Orca
frantically attacked the surrounding Devil Spirit Great White sharks,
at the price of their vitality. Not in order to kill their opponents, but
just to tie up these mortal enemies and keep them from leaving the
battlefield.
The golden blue silhouette floated over above the Evil Spirit Orca
King’s enormous body. Ice cold eyes held no trace of emotion. In his
palm once again appeared that jar of Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
water that had killed dozens of Evil Spirit Orcas.
What Tang San thought of right now wasn’t the previous battle, but
rather when he almost died miserably from the immense attack of
the Deep Sea Demon Whale. If he could have thought of taking out
this jade jar, the circumstances might have been completely
different.
“Die together.”
The Evil Spirit Orca King roared in a deep voice. His body began to
swiftly expand, clearly igniting all the energy within its body.
“Self detonating won’t be that easy.”
Tang San naturally didn’t think he was capable of breaking the
intangible barrier that even Xiao Bai couldn’t touch. What he did was
very simple. Opening the jade jar, the two colored spring water
poured out.
Ear piercing cracking sounds came from ten meters above the Evil
Spirit Orca king, and a huge cloud of white mist rose. The originally
intangible barrier turned visible, only only half of it remained,
solidified with cold frost. The other half had quietly melted away.
The extremely cold yin water and blazing hot yang water’s abilities
didn’t only affect substantial objects, they were equally effective on
energy. How could it otherwise be known as the most extreme cold
and heat between Heaven and earth.
The red spring water, under Tang San’s control, accurately dripped
on the Evil Spirit Orca King’s back and flowed in through the
breathing hole.
If the Evil Spirit Orca King was in its normal condition, he would have
at least a hundred different methods to dodge or use instant energy
eruptions to blow off the spring water. But right now he was about to
self detonate, and was basically immobile. Its immense body also
only relied on the self detonation process to release the intangible
barrier. That was a shield that even the hundred thousand year sea
spirit beast Xiao Bai was helpless against. How could he have
imagined the enemy would actually have a way like this to break it?
His just violently expanding body abruptly stopped. Tang San also
stopped tipping over the jade jar, cautiously stoppering it again.
The previous forty crossbow bolts had only used forty drops of hot
yang water, less than a tenth of the jar. But right now, for fear the
Evil Spirit Orca King wouldn’t die, Tang San fully poured out close to
half the yin yang spring water in the jade jar.
Indeed, the yin yang well water mutually restrained each other,
however, this Evil Spirit Orca King hadn’t taken the two great
immortal herbs Tang San had, the Infernal Apricot and the Octagonal
Ice Grass, and the spring water moreover directly entered its body.
After its enormous body paused for a moment, suddenly, with a
ripping sound, it was like a balloon being popped. A chaotic energy
jetted out from the hole on its back, sending Tang San just above
flying, only with difficulty managing to regain his balance. But the Evil
Spirit Orca King’s expanding body also began to quickly shrink, soon
shriveling. The strangest part was that only half his body was
wizened, the other half was frozen as hard as steel from the
extreme cold yin water. His originally incomparably tyrannical aura
scattered like vapor, leaving no trace behind. The ocean tyrant of a
generation, the hundred thousand year spirit beast Evil Spirit Orca
King died from the two divine waters produced by the Ice and Fire
Yin Yang Well.
Speaking of, this also counted as his bad luck. If he hadn’t used
something like self detonation, Tang San also wouldn’t have had the
chance pour the spring water on him. If he hadn’t been a whale, and
had that enormous blow hole on his back, Tang San would also have
been unable to let the spring water enter it to show its effect. If it
had been Da Ming or Er Ming infected by the spring water, as long
as they immediately cut off that portion of skin, with the powerful
resistance of hundred thousand year spirit beasts they would only
have taken some injuries. This Evil Spirit Orca King could be said to
have been killed by Tang San’s schemes, and he could also have
been said to have been killed by the attributes of his own body. Even
his final wish of self detonating to annihilate the enemy came to
nothing.
Without the leadership of the Evil Spirit Orca King, the remaining Evil
Spirit Orcas basically couldn’t resist much. In front of Xiao Bay, they
had even less of a chance to self detonate. With the Shrek Seven
Devils having caught their breath and helping the Devil Spirit Great
White Sharks work with a common purpose, very soon, they had
swept away all remaining Evil Spirit Orcas, drawing a perfect period
to this scene.
Delightfully familiar screens of light appeared once again. In Dao
Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong’s minds
appeared the same words.
“Fourth test, Shark Whale Battle, completed. Due to special
circumstances reducing the difficulty of the trial, rewards are
reduced by half. Devil Spirit Great White Shark casualties less than
ten percent, rewards multiplied by two. Award. Spirit power
increased one rank.”
This time, Ning Rongrong’s reward of five hundred years of spirit ring
cultivation didn’t reappear.
Xiao Wu’s rewards were still superimposed. But as the golden light
screen shot out from Tang San’s forehead, he obtained an
Outstanding evaluation.
An ancient dignity hovered in Tang San’s mind,
“Taking the victory with wisdom, reducing losses to the minimum,
alone killing more than fifty Evil Spirit Orcas, personally killing the Evil
Spirit Orca King. Equally stressing wisdom and strength, the fourth
trial is completed above quota. Seagod affinity score increased ten
percent. Overall score thirty five percent.”
The golden trident brand brightened, changing from its previous dark
introverted appearance, flashing with gaudy light, like stars on Tang
San’s forehead. At the same time, Tang San also felt like a great
door appear in his mental world. Using spiritual force to push it open,
he would immediately enter a world of gold.
Subconsciously, he projected his spiritual force to pour into this all
new world. Immediately, the golden trident brand on Tang San’s
forehead glared with golden light, illuminating the blood colored
seawater, and also shining on all the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks.
The Shrek Seven Devils didn’t feel anything special, just that the
golden light was warm and extremely comfortable, with a somewhat
dignified aura.
However, each of the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks began to
tremble. Even Xiao Bai was no exception. Heartfelt fear and respect
made them all lower their arrogant heads, circling around Tang San
to quietly worship.
The Seagod’s Light. This was the Seagod’s Light. Tang San inwardly
exulted, feeling that golden light without offensive or defensive
abilities bathe his whole body, he was even more excited than when
the Purple Devil Eye upgraded to the Boundless realm. Because,
this golden light meant that Xiao Wu was one step closer to
resurrection. Right now he only still lacked the strength to rise to the
Title Douluo level.
Withdrawing the spiritual force he had infused into the golden trident
brand, the Seagod’s Light immediately vanished. But the golden
trident brand on Tang San’s forehead was still shining, an important
difference compared to before.
Without the illumination of the Seagod’s Light, the Devil Spirit Great
White Sharks clearly calmed down. This made Tang San discover
another effect of the Seagod’s Light. Deterrence. Strictly speaking, it
should be deterrence to sea spirit beasts.
Oscar mumbled a bit resentfully:
“We all completed the mission above quota. How come the mission
difficulty lowered?”
Dai Mubai snapped:
“You still don’t figure it lowered? Think about it, how did our fourth
test differ from the previous three? If we didn’t have little San going
first to tire out those Evil Spirit Orcas and kill a bunch of them, could
we have finished the trial so easily? It’s pretty good to get the whole
reward. That’s one spirit power rank! At our current level, you might
not be able to raise it with a year of bitter cultivation.”
“Lord Tang San, thank you.”
Xiao Bai raised her head from the water, her eyes expressing
sincere gratitude. She turned her gaze to the others,
“And thank you.”
Even she herself didn’t know how many years she and her clansmen
had lived under the shadow of the Evil Spirit Orcas, didn’t know how
many of her kin had died in the racial wars with them. Today it was
settled, and their casualties wasn’t even ten percent. To her, this
was like a dream. It also strengthened her belief in the Seagod even
more.
Tang San said stunned:
“Xiao Bai, why do you call me that?”
Xiao Bai smiled wryly:
“Lord, do you believe just anyone can possess the Seagod’s Light? I
won’t say more. Only, right now you’d best hurry up and take that
bastard’s spirit ring. With its cultivation, even if its attributes aren’t
completely lined up with your spirit, it should still result in a quite
powerful spirit ability. No matter what, he was still an existence
among sea spirit beasts second only to the Deep Sea Demon Whale
King.”
At Xiao Bai’s reminder, Tang San recalled that his spirit power had
already reached the eightieth rank, and wasn’t the Evil Spirit Orca
King he had just killed an extraordinary choice? He didn’t need to be
polite with his comrades either, besides him here, the others didn’t
have the ability to absorb a hundred thousand year spirit ring, nor
had they reached the spirit power cultivation bottleneck.
“Not just me. Xiangxiang, you come down too. There’s plenty of Devil
Spirit Orcas close to death here. You can also pick one that suits
your current level and kill it for its spirit ring. Even if the Evil Spirit
Orcas aren’t flying type spirit beasts, its scouting ability and spirit
ring quality should still be quite good. You pick and absorb one at
your limit. Your current spirit power shouldn’t be just at the fiftieth
rank, so when choosing, pick one with cultivation a bit higher. Xiao
Bai, I’ll trouble you to let your clansmen help her ascertain an Evil
Spirit Orca’s precise cultivation age.”
“Thank you, third brother.”
Bai Chenxiang fell from the sky. Her spirit power had reached the
fiftieth rank a very long time ago, and even though she had always
cultivated very hard, she never had a fifth spirit ring to increase her
strength, and now she had all these ten thousand year level Evil
Spirit Orcas. Those near death had already lost the strength to
resist, and she could naturally find one with the most ideal age to
absorb. Just like Xiao Bai said, the Evil Spirit Orcas’ spirit ring quality
was enough to make up what it lacked in attributes. On this point
they were quite good for Tang San as well as Bai Chenxiang.
Xiao Bai let a comparatively large Devil Spirit Great White Shark
temporarily serve as Bai Chenxiang’s mount, helping her choose, and
staying while she absorbed the spirit ring. And she herself personally
served as Tang San’s mount.
Tang San originally planned to absorb the Evil Spirit Orca King’s
spirit ring aboard the Dragon Abyss Boat, but Xiao Bai told him that
the Evil Spirit Orca King’s energy was extremely overbearing. It
would very easily leak out, destroying the hull and influencing Tang
San absorbing it. Tang San then no longer declined, sitting on Xiao
Bai’s back and began the absorption process.
Deep red light rushed out, entering Tang San’s body in practically an
instant. As Tang San truly began to absorb the Evil Spirit Orca King’s
spirit ring, he she understood why Xiao Bai would call its spirit ring
energy overbearing.
Even though Tang San’s seventh spirit ring was also hundred
thousand years, that was enduring the test of the God Bestowed
Spirit Ring. In other words, if he hadn’t been able to endure the pain
at that time, he could have easily settled for second best at any
time, and taken a ten thousand year spirit ring.
But the current situation was different. From the start of the process,
he no longer had any chances to change his mind. The extremely
overbearing energy of the hundred thousand year spirit ring directly
shot into Tang San. In that instant’s eruption, if Tang San’s body
hadn’t already undergone its thousand forgings, he might really have
been destroyed at once.
Even with his powerful endurance, the attack still made him bleed
from his seven apertures, and his whole body trembled violently.
In fact, the Evil Spirit Orca King was killed by Tang San using the Ice
and Fire divine spring, and moreover failed in self detonation. The
hatred towards Tang San of the soul contained in the spirit ring could
be well imagined. The instant before his death, he had also
understood the reason his clansmen had died before. One might say
it held extreme grievance. Under such circumstances, how could it
not attack fiercely when Tang San began to absorb its spirit ring?
Tang San discovered something was wrong from the start. The Evil
Spirit Orca King’s spirit ring energy really was too overbearing. Even
though the God Bestowed Spirit Ring back then had also put him
under immense pressure, and almost collapsed, that was after all
something that rose gradually, slowly strengthening along with his
endurance. His spirit ring had risen ten ranks since then, but Tang
San still had to confront the complete eruption of a hundred thousand
year spirit ring packed with grievance and hatred. After just a few
breaths, he almost couldn’t hold out.
Carrying Tang San’s weight, Xiao Bai immediately discovered a
problem with Tang San. The energy that couldn’t be digested spilled
out from Tang San, and poured into her.
Xiao Bai hastily condensed her spiritual force, yelling:
“Use the Seagod’s Light!”
Xiao Bai’s voice made Tang San wake up like being anointed with
cream. Right! Even if the Evil Spirit Orca King was even more
powerful, it was still a sea spirit beast. The Seagod’s Light could
threaten sea spirit beasts, and naturally it would also be effective on
his spirit ring energy. The Seagod’s Light was after all in itself a
special energy form.
His spiritual force rushed into his golden trident brand without
hesitation. Instantly, intense golden light poured out, enveloping all of
Tang San’s body, as if he was plated in a layer of golden liquid.
With the appearance of the Seagod’s Light, the previously still
extremely overbearing Evil Spirit Orca King spirit ring’s energy was
like a flame doused in water, like ice on burning coal, and the
pressure immediately reduced by a lot. The ruthless aura melted like
ice and snow before the dignified Seagod’s Light.
With the Evil Spirit Orca King’s ruthless energy suppressed by the
Seagod’s Light, Tang San could also finally slow his breathing, swiftly
adjusting his Mysterious Heaven Skill inner force, he didn’t resist that
Evil Spirit Orca King spirit ring’s formidable energy from the front,
but rather but rather used the wave unloading force method he
learned in the third trial to resist.
As the immense spirit ring energy launched its attack, while Tang
San’s inner force offloaded the force, it absorbed the energy
contained in that immense spirit power in bits and pieces in the
process. After all, he was no longer at the seventieth rank like back
when he risked absorbing the God Bestowed Spirit Ring. The
eightieth rank made Tang San’s overall strength much more powerful
than at that time, and after stabilizing the situation, the spirit ring
absorption became a lot smoother. Even if the Evil Spirit Orca King’s
spirit ring energy was still a very large threat to Tang San, along with
the along with the constant force unloading and absorption, the
strength difference between the two sides began to gradually tilt.
Seeing Tang San’s circumstances stabilize, everyone heaved a sigh
of relief. Xiao Bai even used her domain to let Tang San absorb the
spirit ring energy in an absolutely stable condition, freezing all the
seawater around her, letting Tang San on her back sit as if on dry
land.
Tang San with his whole body enveloped in Seagod’s Light was like
a sun in the ocean, golden light radiated, his aura gradually grew
even, and that constantly rushing out red energy also gradually
calmed.
An hour later, Bai Chenxiang became the first to complete her
absorption. A black fifth spirit ring joined her spirit ring formation.
What made her indescribably pleasantly surprised was that, after
obtaining the spirit ring, her spirit power directly climbed from fiftieth
rank to fifty fifth. In fact, this year she was still only twenty years old.
Reaching fifty fifth rank strength at such an age, let alone the Speed
Clan, it was impressive in the whole spirit master world. Without
considering the circumstances of the spirit’s own abilities, her
present spirit power level was already equal to Spirit Hall’s golden
generation back then.
However, making everyone somewhat regretful was that even
searching all the Evil Spirit Orca corpses they still didn’t find a single
spirit bone. This showed of low the rate of producing spirit bones
was. Of course, their search didn’t include the Evil Spirit Orca King’s
corpse near Tang San. A hundred thousand year spirit beast always
produced a spirit bone, but this spirit bone also definitely belonged to
Tang San.
They had waited for a long time, but the Shrek Seven Devils were
still excited. This time, Tang San reaching eightieth rank in spirit
power made the whole absorption process a lot easier. Drawing on
the suppressing ability of the Seagod’s Light, after three days and
three nights of great effort, he finally completed the whole process.
As that deep red light completely vanished, a dark red spirit bone
broke out from the Evil Spirit orca King’s body, slowly floating over in
front of Tang San.
That was a leg type spirit bone. Looking carefully, it was a left leg
bone, precisely one of the spirit bones Tang San needed.
