Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 291 Deceiving the Great White Shark

Yali had learned from Poseidon that Shuiyue'er would inherit the position of sea god. She was heartbroken because if someone inherited the position of sea god, Poseidon would have to make a sacrifice. Yali, who had grown up by Poseidon's side since childhood, naturally could not accept such an ending.

But when Poseidon told her that Ye Liangchen would change her fate of sacrifice and help her become a god, Yali jumped up excitedly and then followed Poseidon to see Ye Liangchen. Sure enough, as the high priest said, he was an unfathomable and magical young man.

"Xiao Chen, your friends are all amazing! Especially that blonde beauty, she's incredibly fierce!"

Ya Li observed that Shui Bing'er and the others displayed far superior strength as they climbed the steps compared to the Soul Masters on Seagod Island. At least among their age group, no other Sea Soul Master could match them.

"So-so! Compared to you titled Douluo like Sister Li, we're just a bunch of weaklings." Ye Liangchen smiled modestly.

"You can't say that. I'm already in my forties, and I've been cultivating for longer than you. In your age group, to use your words, I'm the weakest of the weak. Anyway, I've never seen a more outstanding young person than you..."

Yali was speechless at Ye Liangchen's humble demeanor, thinking to herself: "A genius like this is called a weakling? Do you think I'm blind?"

"Sister Li, even geniuses need to grow and mature before they can be considered true geniuses!"

"Xiao Chen, you're right. However, your companions are at least at the Black Level Fourth Trial. It's only a matter of time before they become Title Douluos."

While chatting with Ya Li, Ye Liangchen recalled the original plot where the Shrek Seven Devils could only eat dry food during their trials in the Sea God's Light. During the sixth trial of the Sea God, Poseidon even tried to kill Tang San during the trial.

Now that Ye Liangchen has arrived at Seagod Island, he immediately resolved the issue of Poseidon's sacrifice, instantly maximizing his favorability and ensuring that everyone has no worries about food and lodging. This is much better than the treatment the Shrek Seven Devils received back then.

"Splash..."

Just then, a wave surged across the circular lake, and a great white shark over twenty meters long appeared.

"Hey! Little White, what a rare guest!"

Upon seeing the giant, clumsy Great White Shark arrive, Ye Liangchen greeted it.

Knowing that Ye Liangchen and his group had begun the Divine Trial, Xiaobai swam in through the passage beneath the circular lake to see how these land-based Soul Masters were performing.

"Splash..."

"Buzzing..."

Then, the great white shark leaped out of the water and transformed into a beautiful woman with silver skin. She jumped ashore and came to the two of them.

"Ye Liangchen, aren't you going to participate in the assessment?"

Xiao Bai was very curious to see that everyone else was struggling to climb the ladder inside the Sea God's Light, while Ye Liangchen was chatting with Ya Li.

"Xiaobai, Xiaochen climbed 100 steps on his first attempt and is resting now," Yali reminded him from the side.

"You challenged 100 steps on your first try. Even the High Priest couldn't do that back then. Ye Liangchen, you're really amazing."

Upon hearing that Ye Liangchen had broken the record, Xiao Bai immediately gave a thumbs-up.

"Just 100 steps. It's nothing to mention."

Ye Liangchen calmly waved his hand, thinking to himself: Other transmigrators who reached 1000 steps on their first try, that's really impressive.

"Little White, there are many fish and shrimp in this circular lake. Can I catch them and eat them?"

Ye Liangchen looked at the schools of fish, which resembled moving delicacies, but dared not catch them rashly. So he asked the great white shark for advice.

"We can catch it."

"But you can't harm those ancient fish that have developed sentience; their cultivation is not easy."

Looking at Ye Liangchen's gluttonous appearance, the Demon Soul Great White Shark silently mourned for the fish and shrimp for three seconds.

"Little White, what's with that expression? I didn't capture any of your people, and besides, shark meat doesn't taste good at all."

Looking at the great white shark, Ye Liangchen couldn't help but tease it.

"Pfft...! Xiaobai, I thought you were going to stop Xiaochen from catching fish and shrimp?"

Ya Li couldn't help but laugh. Among the Soul Masters who came to the forbidden area to participate in the assessment, no one dared to catch the fish and shrimp in the lake. Ye Liangchen was the first.

"He can even kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, do you think I have the ability to stop him? We sea spirit beasts are all about big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp."

Xiao Bai looked at Ya Li and thought: I want to stop her too, but I can't!

"Little White, don't worry! I won't catch those intelligent big fish. Besides, no matter how much we eat, it's nothing compared to you. With your body that's over 20 meters long, you can swallow hundreds or thousands of kilograms of fish and shrimp in one gulp. We can't eat as much as you can eat in a single bite in a year."

Ye Liangchen found it very amusing to look at Xiaobai's bitter face. It seemed that his previous trickery in killing the Demon Whale King had frightened this great white shark.

"Pfft...!"

Yali couldn't help but laugh at Xiaobai's helpless look. A dignified 100,000-year-old demon soul great white shark was actually afraid of a human boy.

I can't argue with you.

Xiao Bai turned her head away, feeling that arguing with Ye Liangchen any longer would drive her crazy.

"Xiao Bai, it's inconvenient for me to help, but you catch those fish and shrimp for me, and I'll cook you all sorts of delicious feasts that I guarantee you'll want to swallow your tongue."

Ye Liangchen felt that his intervention would have a negative impact, so he tricked the great white shark into helping him catch fish and shrimp.

"You can cook?" Yali and Xiaobai looked at Ye Liangchen with doubt.

"To tell you the truth, being a Soul Master is just a hobby for me. Eating, drinking and having fun are what I like to do most. Cooking is my specialty. Look, I even carry all kinds of seasonings in my Soul Tool. I eat wherever I go."

Ye Liangchen took out some bottles and jars filled with seasonings from his soul tool and showed them to the two women.

"Pfft...! Xiao Chen, I've never seen a Soul Master like you before."

When Yali saw Ye Liangchen's bottles and jars full of seasonings, she couldn't help but laugh. This little guy really is a foodie.

"Ye Liangchen, I give up. Since you want seafood, I'll catch it for you!"

Although Xiaobai is a demon soul great white shark, when she transforms into human form, she can eat like a human. At this moment, she is very interested in Ye Liangchen, a human, so she readily agrees to help catch fish and shrimp.

Thank you.

"Little White, let me tell you, as a soul beast, you need to eat more cooked food to help you evolve."

Ye Liangchen began to earnestly convince Xiaobai that having this great white shark help him catch fish and shrimp would be incredibly awesome.

"I don't believe you for a second. You're just lying to me." Xiaobai pouted, not believing Ye Liangchen's words.

"Little White, do you know how I tricked that big, stupid Deep Sea Demon Whale King to its death? To tell you the truth, it died because it was stupid."

"Bang…"

With a thought, Ye Liangchen summoned the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from the game's pet space.

"Waaah..."

When the Demon Whale King's enormous body appeared on the beach, it was affected by the light of the forbidden sea god, causing its soul to fluctuate. It let out a whimper, and its huge body continued to twist.

"Ah...! This...it's still alive?"

Yali felt an immense sense of oppression from the Demon Whale King, which was very suffocating. The worst part was that this big, clumsy fish could move, which terrified her so much that she started to stutter.

"Sister Li, don't worry. I severely damaged the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul. It is no longer a threat. I spared its life so that it could become my ninth soul ring."

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen placed his hand on the Demon Whale King, and with a thought, put the big guy into the game's pet space.

"Ye... Liangchen, are you... are you telling the truth?"

The Great White Shark was terrified when it saw Ye Liangchen's actions again. If this guy also put it into his spatial treasure, it would be all over.

"Little White, humans are the most intelligent beings. Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has been cultivating for nearly a million years, he is not very bright and was also tricked to death by me. So I suggest that you eat cooked food from now on, which will help your intelligence evolve."

"Although you have now reached a cultivation level of 100,000 years, you will die of dehydration if you stay away from water for too long. If you want to change this situation, you need to learn more about human wisdom in order to cultivate to a higher level. Otherwise, you will never be able to leave the sea."

Ye Liangchen was talking nonsense with a straight face, but some of what he said was true: sharks do die when they leave the water.

The fantasy world of Douluo Continent is too bizarre. A 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast will die if it leaves the water. It's unbelievable. In other worlds, those demonic beasts that have cultivated for 100,000 years can fly and escape into the earth, and are capable of anything.

"Oh, I see! I'll do as you say. From now on, we'll eat cooked food. Whatever seafood you want, I'll catch it for you."

Hearing that Ye Liangchen knew her so well, the Demon Soul Great White Shark immediately believed it. At this moment, she felt that Ye Liangchen's words were more reliable than those of the Sea God.

Holy crap! This great white shark is so easy to fool! This way, everyone won't have to worry about food for the next few years.

Seeing that the great white shark had been successfully fooled by him, Ye Liangchen was secretly overjoyed.

"Xiao Chen, you know so much."

Yali was impressed by Ye Liangchen's eloquent speech. This little guy truly deserves to be called a peerless genius! Even the High Priest probably doesn't have such insight.

"Bang... Ah..."

Just then, the Sea God's Light Shield rippled, and then Jin Ling'er flew out, baring her teeth and claws.

"Brother Ye, I don't want to get soaked, catch me quickly."

Upon seeing Ye Liangchen, Jin Ling'er immediately cried out for help.

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen instantly leaped into the air and caught Jin Ling'er.

"Brother Ye... I... have no strength left."

Jin Ling'er was limp and weak, lying in Ye Liangchen's arms, pretending to groan weakly.

"Ling'er, replenish your soul power first."

Ye Liangchen took out a Soul Power Pill and put it into Jin Ling'er's mouth, then placed the girl on the beach.

"How many steps did you attempt?"

Ye Liangchen looked at Jin Ling'er, who was covered in sweat, and guessed that she had been working her hardest.

"60 floors. When I stepped onto the 61st floor, I couldn't hold on and was bounced off. I can't catch up with your record of 100 floors."

Jin Ling'er recovered her strength and slowly announced her results, but she felt a little disappointed because she hadn't been able to catch up with Ye Liangchen's record, which made her feel like a failure.

"You've done a great job with 60 floors on your first try, don't push yourself too hard."

Ye Liangchen comforted Jin Ling'er, saying that everyone wanted to challenge themselves, but it wasn't that easy.

"60 floors? That's amazing!"

Xiaobai and Yali didn't know how to describe it at that moment. This girl was able to climb 60 steps on her first attempt, something they never dared to even dream of.

"Bang... Crash..."

Just then, Xie Yue, Yan, and Feng Xiaotian were all thrown out and fell into the circular lake.

"Was it satisfying?"

Ye Liangchen found it hilarious to watch the three of them desperately swimming towards the shore.

"Sect Leader, keep going, keep going..."

The three of them swam desperately while weakly pleading for help from Ye Liangchen.

"Ten thousand leaves fly and flowers flow."

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen formed hand gestures and activated the Myriad Leaves Flying Flower Flow skill. In an instant, thousands of green leaves transformed into three green pythons, coiling around the three of them and pulling them ashore.

"How did you do?" Ye Liangchen asked the three drenched students to report their results.

"40 steps is our current limit," Feng Xiaotian, Xie Yue, and Yan said in unison.

"You didn't summon your martial spirit, your spirit rings didn't light up, and it doesn't seem to be a spirit bone skill? Ye Liangchen, what skill did you use before?"

"Xiao Chen, can you tell us about it?"

Xiaobai and Yali were seeing such a skill for the first time, as if they had discovered a new world.

"Swish..."

"The Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow is a skill I created myself. It requires comprehending the power of life and the power of wood to practice."

Ye Liangchen demonstrated the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow to broaden the horizons of the two women.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a skill. It's amazing." Yali was once again impressed.

"Brother Ye knows a lot, don't be too surprised."

Jin Ling'er said proudly, as if she herself could do it too.

"Bang... Crash..."

At this moment, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Chenxiang, Huo Wushuang, and others were ejected one after another and fell into the surrounding lake.

Wow! They're making dumplings!

With so many people falling into the water, Ye Liangchen couldn't possibly save them all, so he could only let everyone cool off in the water.
