Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 216 The Second Soul Spirit, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, begins its divine trial!
The next day.

After waking up from his reverie, Lin Mu immediately took Ah Yin and Ye Lingling to the first floor to meet up with the others.

Immediately afterwards, the group arrived at the dock and headed straight for the ship they had arranged to meet the day before.

"Your Excellency Lin Mu, welcome to the Merry!"

As soon as everyone arrived on the deck, a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty years old came up to greet them and bowed to Lin Mu with utmost respect.

Although Hanhai City is located on the edge of the Tiandou Empire, Lin Mu's name still resounds throughout the city.

"Captain Jack, you're too kind."

As he spoke, Lin Mu reached out and gently lifted the middle-aged man up, releasing his soul power to help him up. He then continued, "I'll have to trouble Captain Jack to take care of things when we get to Seagod Island. Once we arrive, I'll give you another 10,000 gold soul coins."

Upon hearing this, Captain Jack's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected Lin Mu to be so generous.

With these 20,000 gold soul coins, he wouldn't have to worry about the rest of his life.

Moreover, with such a peerless expert accompanying him, he didn't need to worry about being attacked by sea spirit beasts. As for returning, there was no need to worry either; they could take a longer route to avoid most of the dangers.

This deal is a sure thing, with no risk of loss.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After expressing his gratitude, Captain Jack turned to the others and smiled graciously, "Welcome, beautiful ladies, and of course, handsome gentlemen. It's a pleasure to serve you."

Next, Captain Jack gave a brief introduction to his crew and then led everyone on a tour.

Once everything was in place, Captain Jack shouted, "Raise anchor and set sail!"

The weather was fine today, sunny and calm. Thanks to the sailors' efforts, the ship easily left the port and headed straight out to sea.

Apart from Lin Mu, everyone else was going out to sea and leaned on the deck railing, gazing at the distant horizon, which seemed very close but also seemed to stretch endlessly.

At this moment, Captain Jack, who was at the helm, noticed Lin Mu's calm reaction and asked with some surprise, "Your Majesty, it doesn't seem like this is your first time at sea?"

"I flew over the sea for a period of time three years ago."

When Lin Mu said this, he appeared relaxed and casual, and no one doubted his sincerity.

In an instant, Tang San, Ye Lingling, and the others turned their curious gazes toward them, while Bai Chenxiang was even more shocked.

To travel across the ocean alone requires absolute confidence in one's own abilities!
"Master, what were you doing at sea back then?"

"Naturally, it was to obtain a suitable soul bone, and I happened to discover a new continent," Lin Mu replied casually.

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Captain Jack Sparrow, was stunned.

Isn't the continent they live on the only one?
If there really is a new continent, why have they never heard of it?

Seeing their stunned reaction, Lin Mu smiled faintly and took the initiative to explain: "The two continents are nearly 10,000 kilometers apart. Even a straight-line journey would take more than a hundred days. Even if someone is lucky enough to reach them, the return journey would be extremely dangerous."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Captain Jack Sparrow and his sailors, in particular, looked at Lin Mu with awe.

This incredible feat of crossing the ocean completely overturned their understanding; it was as if it were a divine act!
After several days at sea, the Merry had completely moved away from the mainland.

During these past few days, Lin Mu would occasionally hunt a sea spirit beast to improve everyone's meals.

"Your Majesty, the Demon Whale Sea is only thirty miles to the north. There dwells a deep-sea demon whale king that is over 100,000 years old. Do you really want to go?"

Captain Jack repeatedly advised him.

Lin Mu remained unmoved and said calmly, "You all stay here and wait for me for half a day. I'll be right back."

Previously, since he could no longer acquire spirit rings, Lin Mu planned to leave the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to his disciple, mainly to maximize his benefits.

But now he can attach spirits to spirit rings, thereby increasing their age. As long as he takes the Deep Sea Demon Whale King as his spirit, he will have his first million-year spirit ring. Only by acquiring multiple spirits can he be confident in creating his own godhood.

Immediately, Lin Mu changed into the Howling Inferno, transformed into a ball of water and disappeared into the sea, vanishing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

On the high seas, the Howling Tsunami is more practical than other armors, allowing him to traverse the deep sea without any hindrance, making it easier for him to find the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Before long, Lin Mu dived into the depths of the Demon Whale Sea.

Under the probing of spiritual power, a colossal creature, comparable in size to an island, was revealed below—the million-year-old soul beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Immediately, Lin Mu, who had transformed into water, arrived behind the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Even with the deep-sea demon whale king's keen senses, it couldn't have imagined that Lin Mu would turn into a ball of water.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Elf Armament!"

As the eighth spirit ring suddenly lit up, the octopus-shaped elemental spirit split into two parts. The body part was equipped on Lin Mu's back, and the six legs formed a high-speed rotating turbine.

The head was transformed into a longsword shaped like a sharp cone, which was mounted on Lin Mu's right hand.

"Turbo Vortex Killer!"

As the turbine spun to its maximum speed, Lin Mu thrust it at the rear of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King at an incredible speed.

At this moment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already noticed something was wrong, but it was too late; its massive body simply could not dodge the attack.

"what--!!"

Suffering this devastating blow, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a deafening roar, shaking the sea area within a hundred miles.

Immediately, it turned around, its single blood-red eye fixed on Lin Mu, and roared, "Human, I will devour you alive!"

"You can give it a try."

Lin Mu tried his best to calm himself down. The Xiaozhi Tsunami required the user to maintain a calm mind in order to bring out the full potential of the armor.

Before the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could attack, he immediately transformed into water and surged upwards.

The Roaring Tsunami is not suitable for him and cannot unleash its full power. For now, he should lure the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to the surface and then switch to Thunder Yatalis.

Seeing that the human was trying to escape, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King immediately gave chase.

Soon, Lin Mu burst out of the water and immediately used Thunder Yatalis, while his ninth spirit ring suddenly lit up.

"Yatales Aurora Fury!"

To deal with this million-year-old soul beast, Lin Mu directly used his strongest killing move.

The next second, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had just broken through the water's surface and hadn't even had time to react when it saw a golden figure swooping down from the sky.

"boom--!!"

With a deafening roar, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had half its body blown off.

At this moment, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King completely lost its composure. What had it done to deserve this by sleeping in late?

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, I'm giving you a choice now: become my soul spirit, and I'll resurrect you after I become a god."

Unlike the Azure Bull Python, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King requires absolute strength to subdue.

Under the threat of death, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King yielded and became the spirit of Lin Mu's ninth soul ring.

"Soul power has reached level 99. The assessment will begin!"
