Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 329 A Weakling

As the two ventured deeper, they finally encountered a large-scale group of sea spirit beasts. As mentioned before, sea spirit beasts are different from land spirit beasts; they all act in groups.

Directly below them was a massive iceberg, on which lay hundreds of enormous marine creatures—a scene rarely seen on land, except perhaps by spirit beasts, which also operated in groups.

Under Ji Lin's mental detection, even high in the sky, Ji Lin could clearly see the appearance of the sea spirit beasts below.

They were spirit beasts, entirely black in color, varying in size. The largest was over ten meters long, radiating a pale blue aura. The smallest was only a little over a meter long. Each one had two long, sharp fangs protruding from its mouth.

This is a Sea Demon Elephant. Ji Lin had seen an introduction to this kind of soul beast when he was studying at Shrek Academy.

Although human soul masters don't know much about sea spirit beasts, Shrek Academy still has records of the Sea Demon Elephant, a very representative sea spirit beast.

Sea Elephants are relatively docile soul beasts, their most notable characteristic being their exceptional defensive capabilities. An adult Sea Elephant can exceed seven meters in length; "adult" signifies having cultivated for over a hundred years. Their massive seven-meter-long bodies are incredibly robust, with skin alone exceeding ten centimeters in thickness. Their skin is extremely tough, possessing exceptional resistance to any physical attack. And the Sea Elephants of this icy sea likely also exhibit remarkable resistance to ice and fire elemental attacks.

Of course, every spirit beast has its strengths and weaknesses. Compared to its powerful defense, its attack power and speed are its shortcomings.

Sea walruses only increase their speed in water; outside the water, they are very slow. As for their attacks, they only have some ability to manipulate water or ice, and these abilities are not particularly strong.

Sea Elephants are social spirit beasts, typically living in groups of a dozen or so. The appearance of hundreds at once is unprecedented in Shrek Academy's curriculum.

Among the group of sea elephants were several enormous creatures over fifteen meters long, clearly possessing cultivation levels of ten thousand years. They too noticed Ji Lin and his companion passing overhead, but being naturally docile, they showed no reaction, remaining lazily lying motionless on the iceberg.

The two did not linger and continued their journey into the depths of the icy sea.

"Help! ┭┮﹏┭┮ Waaah! Someone save me! Mom, I'll never run away again! Where are you?!"

Just then, Ji Lin faintly heard a cry for help. He quickly looked down in the direction from which the cry came from and saw a long, slender shark with a beautiful, streamlined white body. It was swimming incredibly fast in the water and was fleeing for its life, crying as it ran. Behind it, a huge shadow was hot on its heels, moving at an equally incredible speed in the sea.

It was a huge, deep blue whale, at least eighty meters long, radiating extremely powerful soul energy fluctuations.

This whale-like spirit beast has very peculiar body proportions, with its head being particularly enormous, taking up almost two-thirds of its entire body.

The Giant Demon Whale is an extremely powerful demon whale-type soul beast. Judging from its size and soul power fluctuations, this Giant Demon Whale should have a cultivation level of 80,000 years.

However, to Ji Lin's surprise, the shark fleeing ahead was, if he wasn't mistaken, a Demon Soul Great White Shark, and it was the same shark that was making the cries for help and crying.

Ji Lin and Chi Yuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes. Putting aside the fact that a soul beast that can speak human language must have at least 100,000 years of cultivation, although there are a few exceptions, such as the Emperor Beast.

However, judging from the soul power fluctuations of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, it was not much weaker than the giant Demon Whale behind it, which means that this Demon Soul Great White Shark also had 80,000 years of cultivation.

Logically speaking, a Great White Shark of the same level should be stronger than a Giant Demon Whale. How come it's the other way around now, with an 80,000-year-old Giant Demon Whale chasing after an 80,000-year-old Great White Shark?

This Demon Soul Great White Shark can speak human language after 80,000 years, so it should be the best among Demon Soul Great White Sharks, right? How come it's so weak?

Suddenly, Ji Lin's expression shifted. In his memory, there really was a Demon Soul Great White Shark that was rather weak. Could it be her? If it was her, she would indeed have 80,000 years of cultivation now.

Thinking of this, Ji Lin's figure rapidly descended.

Below, the giant demon whale's deep blue eyes revealed a cold and greedy gaze as it stared intently at the demon soul great white shark in front of it. Although it didn't know why the demon soul great white shark in front of it ran away when it saw him, it didn't stop it from chasing its prey. As long as it ate the small shark in front of it, it could break through to 90,000 years of cultivation and take another step closer to 100,000 years.

The colossal whale roared, and a massive column of water, over five meters in diameter and shimmering with a distorted glow, shot skyward. Immediately afterward, the sea surged, and a deep whale cry echoed throughout the entire ocean, startling all creatures and plunging everything into chaos.

A massive, deep blue vortex condensed at the blowhole on the giant whale's head, unleashing a powerful suction force.

The terrifying suction force caused the fleeing demonic great white shark to pause, and the surrounding air seemed to thicken, as if it were in a swamp, making it difficult to move.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark struggled desperately, crying out, "Ah! Ah! Ah! I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to be eaten, boohoo! I'm doomed!"

Ji Lin, who descended from the sky, had a strange expression. Hearing the clear and melodious cry, he became even more certain of his guess.

The next moment, a beam of emerald light descended from the sky and struck the giant demon whale. Under the illumination of the emerald light, the seawater within a radius of a hundred meters was frozen into ice, including the giant demon whale. Under the wrath of the Ice Emperor, only a huge iceberg remained on the spot, and the giant demon whale was frozen inside.

With Ji Lin's current ultimate ice power, it will probably take this giant demon whale a very long time to escape from the iceberg.

Ji Lin did not kill the giant demon whale. After all, this was still the Sea Princess's territory. Who knew if this giant demon whale was the Sea Princess's subordinate? Judging from the giant demon whale's nearly 90,000 years of cultivation and its ability to move freely in this area, it was very likely that it was the Sea Princess's subordinate. It was better not to kill it.

Killing this giant demon whale wouldn't benefit Ji Lin much either.

Ji Lin turned to look at the Demon Soul Great White Shark, which was still charging around like a headless fly, and his lips twitched.

Ji Linfei stepped forward, saying irritably, "Alright, stop wandering around. Didn't you notice the suction force is gone?"

Hearing the sudden sound, the Demon Soul Great White Shark was startled and stopped crying. She turned around and saw a huge iceberg behind her, freezing the bad guy who was chasing her to death.

A hint of surprise flashed in its silver eyes, and then it leaped out of the water as if cheering, stretching its body and exclaiming, "Great! The bad guy is gone!"

Then she emerged from the sea as a white shark head, its silver eyes gleaming as it curiously examined Ji Lin.

"My God—it's a human!"

Suddenly, the Demon Soul Great White Shark let out a soft cry and quickly dived into the sea. When she resurfaced, she had already distanced herself from Ji, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Ji Lin's face stiffened, and he said irritably, "Why are you running? Don't you know I saved you?"

The Great White Shark blinked its large, silvery-white eyes and said in a sweet voice, "Mom said that humans are the most greedy and ferocious creatures. If you see a human, you should turn around and run away."

Ji Lin chuckled and said, "Then why don't you run away!"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark hesitated and said, "You froze that bad guy, didn't you? You just saved me, you must be a legendary good person, right?"

Ji Lin's lips twitched. The legendary good person?

When did good people become legendary figures?

The Demon Soul Great White Shark said, "Ten thousand years ago, a kind person helped our Demon Soul Great White Shark clan repel our bloodthirsty natural enemies. He was also human, which is why I don't believe my mother. Humph! Does she think I don't know? She's just trying to scare me and keep me away from the human world."

Ji Lin shook his head and said, "Your mother is right. To you soul beasts, humans are indeed evil."

The Great White Shark's head was spinning, and it was a little confused. "Hey! Aren't you human? Why are you saying that?"

Ji Lin laughed and said, "Didn't you say I'm a good person, and the kind of humans your mother described are bad people? So you should stay away from humans in the future, because you have no idea whether they are good or bad."

The Demon Soul Great White Shark nodded as if it understood, and said, "Yes, I understand. You're so kind."

Ji Lin asked, "By the way, you're not a 100,000-year-old soul beast, are you? Why can you talk?"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Soul Great White Shark chuckled and said, "Hehe, I am the Demon Soul Great White Shark Princess, a member of royalty! That's why my intelligence awakened early, which is why I can speak your human language."

Ji Lin said speechlessly, "Since you are royalty, why are you being hunted down by a giant demon whale with the same 80,000 years of cultivation?"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark blinked its big eyes and said cutely, "Well, to use your human terms, I'm a total weakling. I'm basically only good at running away; I'm not familiar with anything else. Although I'm the princess of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, I'm still a baby. Fighting and such isn't for me."

Ji Lin's lips twitched. What an 80,000-year-old baby! This is even more outrageous than Wang Qiu'er. And a weakling in battle? He knows quite a lot, probably comparable to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. Speaking of which, is Bai Xiuxiu really that weak?

After communicating with her, Ji Lin confirmed that the Demon Soul Great White Shark was Bai Xiuxiu, since she was the only princess of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like me?" the Demon Soul Great White Shark said sweetly. "I look so pretty in human form! Do you want me to transform you? But I don't have any human clothes, so isn't it a bit inappropriate to be naked?"
