Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 582 Spy Bai Xiuxiu

"Instead of helping you take revenge, I'd rather just swallow you whole. That way, I can also eliminate a potential threat to the Demon Emperor."

Leviathan opened its gaping maw, emanating a nauseating stench of blood. Rows of sharp fangs gleamed coldly in the darkness, threatening Bai Xiuxiu.

The immense water pressure spread outwards with its movement, causing the surrounding seawater to violently churn and form whirlpools.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiuxiu's expression calmed down. She took a deep breath, suppressed her fear, and said firmly, "You wouldn't do that."

"Oh~" Leviathan looked at her with interest, his enormous eyes like two deep black holes, as if trying to see through Bai Xiuxiu's soul, and asked, "Why?"

"Because you need me." After the initial fear, Bai Xiuxiu had begun to calm down. As the princess of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, although she was a little naive, she was still quick-witted.

As she recalled the details of how Augustus had taken her to this area, she became increasingly certain of her theory.

"Although I don't know what you need me to do, the fact that your partner didn't kill me immediately but instead chose to bring me to this sea area tells me that I can definitely be of some use to you."

"Otherwise, you could just swallow me whole right now instead of talking to me here." After saying this analysis, Bai Xiuxiu stared intently at Leviathan, silently praying that her guess was correct.

Ultimately, these were just her speculations. If Leviathan was simply playing a cruel joke on her, then she was truly doomed.

With her 90,000 years of cultivation, escape was impossible against these two powerful sea spirit beasts. Therefore, she could only hope that what Augustus had said earlier was true, and that it could truly help her take revenge.

After all, it would have been easy for either Augustus or Leviathan to kill her, but instead of doing so, they chose to communicate with her. Wasn't that an opportunity?

If Leviathan is willing to take action, then there is truly hope of avenging her mother.

"Hehe, clever little fellow, your name is Bai Xiuxiu, right?" Leviathan closed its massive mouth, its terrifying, blood-red maw disappearing into the darkness, as if it had been persuaded. Its enormous body swayed gently in the seawater, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding water.

"Yes." Bai Xiuxiu nodded excitedly. Sure enough, she was right; keeping this sea spirit beast in front of her was indeed useful.

Leviathan turned his head to the side and said, "Augustus, you're quick-witted. Just tell me, what are you going to do with this little shark?"

Augustus said, "You remember our cooperation with those guys on land, right? Not the Demon Emperor, but that woman named Aponia."

"I know." Leviathan nodded knowingly. "Those guys are much more troublesome than that Demon Emperor. But what does that have to do with you bringing this little shark?"

"Of course," Augustus said. "After all, we live on the sea and don't know much about the land. If our partners were to play dirty tricks on us behind our backs, we wouldn't know."

"But now that neither of us can leave the sea at will, we need an agent to help us monitor them."

Leviathan asked doubtfully, "Surveillance? Her?" It looked at Bai Xiuxiu with suspicion in its eyes.

"That's right." Augustus nodded slightly. "Although I'm not very familiar with the situation on land, I know there's someone who is crucial to their plans. So, all we need to do is have her infiltrate that person's circle and relay information to us."

"She is the princess of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, possessing the bloodline of royalty. Even though her cultivation is only 90,000 years, she can already transform into human form. However, because her cultivation is a bit low, this transformation cannot last long."

"So, I want to help her raise her cultivation level to 100,000 years, so that she can remain in human form for longer, and then let her infiltrate that person's side."

"Alright," Leviathan said. "I agree to this. You're smarter than me, and I trust you to get things done. She's in your hands now."

After saying this, Leviathan submerged most of its body back into the sea. Its massive body slowly sank, and seawater flowed over its body as if it were a flowing layer of black armor.

Leviathan continued to digest the energy it had previously absorbed into Devil's Island. A faint black light began to appear around its body, a sign that energy was flowing within it.

After watching Leviathan sink into the sea, Augustus turned to Bai Xiuxiu and said, "I believe you heard our conversation clearly. Now, tell me your answer."

Bai Xiuxiu nodded. "I promise you, I'm going to infiltrate someone's inner circle as a spy, right?"

"That's right." Augustus raised his hand, and a soft light shone from it, creating a phantom image in the seawater.

The light and shadow in the picture kept changing, eventually forming a man's face, which was none other than Nan Fusheng.

"You need to infiltrate this man's inner circle. His name is Nan Fusheng. He's a high-ranking official in a human city. You need to constantly observe his movements and then report back to me. I'll help you deal with the aura of your transformed soul beast."

"As for how to infiltrate that man's inner circle and gain his trust, those are questions you need to consider yourself. If you can't even do that, then don't expect us to help you get revenge."

Bai Xiuxiu listened attentively to Augustus's words, then nodded vigorously and said, "I understand."

"Very good." Augustus nodded in satisfaction, then opened his mouth and spat out a Time Worm with twelve rings.

The Time Worm slowly wriggled in the air, emitting an eerie light that seemed to contain endless mysterious power.

"Eat this. With this, your cultivation will soon break through to 100,000 years. As for the aura of the soul beast, this will also help you hide it." Augustus handed the Time Worm to Bai Xiuxiu.

Looking at the little insect in Augustus's hand, Bai Xiuxiu felt a strange sense of physical discomfort. After all, she was a female shark, and she had a natural aversion and fear of insects.

Her brow furrowed slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. But then she thought of her mother, who had been brutally murdered, and the dead members of her clan.

Bai Xiuxiu forced herself to overcome her discomfort. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then swallowed the Time Worm in one gulp.

"My body!"

The moment Bai Xiuxiu swallowed the Time Worm, she felt a surge of power erupt within her body, a power that, like a flood bursting its banks, relentlessly assaulted her meridians.

She clearly felt that her cultivation level was increasing wildly at an unprecedented speed. A layer of brilliant blue light emanated from the surface of her body, and the light became increasingly dazzling, reflecting the surrounding seawater as a deep blue.

"So sleepy." Bai Xiuxiu felt her eyelids were as heavy as if they were filled with lead. She knew this was a normal reaction from her body as she was about to break through. So, she didn't resist and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Normally, when a sea spirit beast breaks through its limits, it will find a safe place to hide to avoid being discovered by its natural enemies. However, since Augustus is here, Bai Xiuxiu can naturally settle into a deep sleep without worry.

After all, they needed her to infiltrate the human world, and they were stronger than her. If they wanted to harm her, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

Soon, a large, deep blue silkworm floated on the sea surface and began frantically absorbing the surrounding elements of heaven and earth. The elements, like colorful ribbons, continuously converged towards Bai Xiuxiu and then merged into her body.

The surrounding seawater began to surge violently, forming huge whirlpools, within which strange lights flickered continuously.

"It seems she'll need quite some time."

Augustus looked at the large blue silkworm that Bai Xiuxiu had formed with satisfaction. The Time Worm that it fed to Bai Xiuxiu contained a large amount of life energy, which was definitely enough for her to advance to a cultivation level of 100,000 years.

Meanwhile, the Time Worm also had another hidden function—surveillance. Augustus did not allow the Time Worm to directly parasitize Bai Xiuxiu's body, but instead had it lurk in Bai Xiuxiu's spiritual sea, quietly observing her emotional dynamics.

After all, although, but, what if Bai Xiuxiu really ran away? Wouldn't all the things it had done before be for nothing? So it's better to take some measures first, so that people can feel more at ease.

As for sending Bai Xiuxiu to approach the main body, that was just a sudden whim of its.

After all, the main body has already gathered those that fly in the sky (Gu Yuena) and those that grow on the ground (Naxi Da), so wouldn't it be better to send one that swims in the water as well, so that the main body can gather the three armies of land, sea and air?

Thinking of this, a smug glint flashed in Augustus's eyes. It quietly guarded Bai Xiuxiu's side, waiting for the moment she would successfully break through.

……

"boom--"

The roar of fighter jets echoed across the sky, and Nan Fusheng turned his gaze to the soul-guided fighter jets high above.

Since the three major fleets assembled, fighter jets have been flying over Tianhai City from time to time, seemingly conducting drills and scanning the vicinity of Tianhai City for any suspicious personnel.

In the modern warfare of Douluo Continent today, mechs are mainly responsible for ground and low-altitude combat, while high-altitude combat is dominated by fighter jets.

Currently, the Douluo Continent has three Soul Guidance Fighter Squadrons, with a total of approximately one thousand Soul Guidance Fighters. This is their greatest advantage, enabling them to completely suppress the other two continents.

The Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire are clearly lagging behind in fighter jet and mecha technology. Especially in terms of soul-guided fighter jets, the Star Luo Empire has less than two hundred at most, and in terms of technology, it is more than a generation behind the Douluo Continent.

The Douling Empire only has about a hundred fighter jets, and its technological level is not as good as that of the Xingluo Empire.

Because he had informants within the military, Nan Fusheng was well aware that if war broke out, the Federation would first annihilate all air forces of the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, and then seize air superiority.

Although mechs can fly, in terms of speed, unless they reach the level of black-grade mechs, they are still far inferior to soul-guided fighters.

Moreover, mechs consume more energy than fighter jets.

Currently, the technology of soul-guided fighter jets is developing rapidly, and it has even begun to combine with some space technologies that are under research.

Compared to mechs, soul-guided fighters are significantly more expensive to build, but their development potential is much broader. After all, mechs cannot currently go to space; only god-level mechs have the possibility of attempting that.

"Hey! What are you looking at? Hurry up and pay." At this moment, Qingque's voice rang in Nan Fusheng's ears. In her hand, she was holding a string of candied hawthorns and looking at Nan Fusheng expectantly.

Nan Fusheng reluctantly paid the bill, and looking at her expression, he said irritably, "Don't you have any money yourself? Why do you want me to pay again?"

Qingque said matter-of-factly, "It's different. This is a business trip paid for by the company, so the reimbursement should be recorded under your account as the big boss."

"If you were supporting me before, it wouldn't matter who paid. But now you're forcing me to work. The federal dollars I earn are the reward for my hard work. How can I just spend them recklessly?"

Nan Fusheng said, "How did it turn into a business trip? We were just strolling around Tianhai City. You're trying to squeeze every last penny out of us? Have some self-respect! Besides, I only asked you to handle some document review. That shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Qingque covered her ears with her hands: "I won't listen, I won't listen. Unless you restore my previous treatment, don't expect me to listen to you."

The once magnificent Emerald Demon Bird King awakened a rare destiny attribute, and due to the gradual prosperity of the soul beasts in the Dragon Valley Small World, it was also imbued with auspicious energy.

How could a super soul beast that was gradually transforming into an imperial auspicious beast have such a pathetic personality? Nan Fusheng couldn't help but feel helpless, and he was just about to say something.

"Halt! Listen up, you've violated federal law. Stop now and submit to inspection, or we have the right to shoot you." At this moment, the soldier's voice suddenly came from afar, attracting Nan Fusheng's attention.

Immediately afterwards, a disturbance seemed to break out in the crowd.

Above the city, a purple-level mech and three yellow-level mechs appeared, seemingly chasing someone, but they did not make a move because they were concerned about the crowd below.

After all, we're inside the city now. If we attack recklessly, who knows how many casualties we could cause? We can only hope that the soldiers below can step up their game and capture the enemy.

Inside the purple-level mech, a squad leader scratched his head in frustration.

What kind of nonsense is this?! A young and pretty girl actually tried to force her way through the checkpoint at the city gate.
