Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 374 The Cunning Demon Orca King

Even Poseidon and Yali were incredibly surprised when they learned that Feng Xiaotian and the others had successfully absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring, marveling at how incredibly powerful the young people of today are.

"Little White, we're about to begin the fourth trial to help you defeat the Demon Orca King."

Three days later, Ye Liangchen led everyone to the shore of Soul-Shaped Lake and informed Xiaobai that the time for revenge had come.

"Ye Liangchen, with you taking action, the Demon Orca King is doomed."

Xiao Bai immediately transformed into human form, jumped out of the lake, and excitedly ran to Ye Liangchen.

"Sister Xiaobai, Xiaochen can't directly take action; he can only protect us from death."

"My sister, Ling'er, Zhu Qing, and I will assist you in killing the Demon Orca King, so this battle can only be fought by ourselves."

Shuiyue'er reminded Xiaobai not to be too happy too soon.

"Ah...! If he doesn't make a move, we're left to fight the Demon Orca King?"

"That creature that pollutes the ocean is far stronger than me. Besides it, there are 300 demonic orcas, more than 30 of which have cultivation levels exceeding 50,000 years... This battle is extremely risky. Have you thought it through?"

When Xiao Bai heard that Ye Liangchen wasn't making a move, he immediately felt immense pressure. He then launched into a long explanation of how terrifying the Demon Orca Clan was.

"Little White, are you chickening out?" Shadow Demon looked at Little White with a smile, sensing that this great white shark was truly afraid.

"Why would I be a coward? I'm just afraid that after I die, I won't be able to protect my people." Xiao Bai pouted, feeling very uncomfortable at being looked down upon by Ying Mei.

"Sister Xiaobai, don't be afraid, we will definitely succeed."

"Look at our current strength, avenging you will definitely not be a problem."

Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, and others revealed their eight spirit rings, letting Xiaobai witness their strength.

Wow! So many red spirit rings.

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhulin watched everyone's 100,000-year-old eighth ring from the side, both showing expressions of envy.

"So you guys are that strong. That's good."

"I'll go gather my people first, then I'll wait for you on the shore of the Seahorse Holy City."

"thump…"

Seeing how powerful everyone was, Xiaobai immediately felt confident and jumped into the circular lake, swimming towards the depths.

"Xiao Lan, our voyage may take a long time. During this time, you can take over from Xiao Bai and act as an examiner to train Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhulin."

Since Xiaobai wanted to go out to sea with everyone, Ye Liangchen had no choice but to let Xiaolan, a 100,000-year-old dragon, take over the job of examiner.

"Yes, Master."

"thump…"

Xiao Lan jumped directly into the lake, reverting to its 30-meter-long blue-scaled dragon form. The oppressive aura emanating from its massive body made everyone realize what it meant to be insignificant.

"One ruthless one has gone, and now an even ruthless one has arrived."

"Go, ladies!"

Feng Xiaotian, Xie Yue, Huo Wushuang, and the others looked at the enormous blue-scaled dragon in the lake. Its head alone was ten meters long. They could imagine how painful the training the Zhu sisters would have to endure.

"Young Master Ye, are you pushing us to our limits with this training?"

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhulin wore wry smiles. Faced with the enormous blue dragon in the lake, neither of the sisters knew how to fight it.

"Don't worry, Little Blue knows its limits. It will only use 30% of its strength at most and won't kill you. In order to make you stronger, I also need to train you."

Seeing that its master had arranged for Xiao Lan to be the examiner, Ying Mei couldn't just sit idly by. So she immediately reverted to her Dark Demon Evil God Tiger form and played with the two little girls, which was quite nice.

"Haha...! Now you're in for a treat."

When Shui Bing'er and the others saw Ying Mei joining in the fun, they immediately recalled the days when they were dominated by this tigress—it was truly miserable.

"Young Master Ye, you might as well just kill us!"

The Zhu sisters looked at Ye Liangchen with resentful eyes, their heads spinning at the thought of being trained by two terrifying 100,000-year-old soul beasts every day.

"Big sister, second sister, don't worry. We've been through the same thing before. You should also understand Brother Chen's good intentions."

"Women of the Zhu family must become strong in order to control their own destiny and live freely."

Zhu Zhuqing held her two older sisters' hands, urging them to persevere, thinking to herself: I, your little sister, have done my best to seduce that devilish young man, which is how you have this opportunity.

Zhu Zhuqing is now considering whether to recruit her two older sisters into her camp. After all, every time she cultivates with Brother Chen, she is utterly defeated and has no chance to fight back. Later, Jin Ling'er told her that the monster had absorbed a million-year-old torso soul bone, and it was the most powerful Mountain Dragon King soul bone. With the blessing of the million-year-old torso bone, that guy also possessed superhuman strength. Now, whenever Shui Bing'er and her sister cultivate with that monster, they always bring Xue Wu and the others along for help, otherwise they simply cannot defeat him.

"Don't worry, little sister! We will definitely persevere."

"My sister isn't that fragile."

The Zhu sisters nodded firmly. It was a stroke of luck to receive such training, and besides, it was specially arranged by Ye Liangchen. The sisters could not let him down.

"My two beauties, I have set up the Nine Star Spirit Gathering Array by the small lake in Xiting Residence. During the day, you will receive training from Yingmei and Xiaolan, and at night you will cultivate in that array and strive to improve your soul power."

Looking at the Zhu sisters' current strength, Ye Liangchen realized they were already high-level Soul Emperors. He estimated that after completing all the assessments, their strength would at least reach the high-level Soul Saint level, which was quite good for them.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye."

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhulin bowed respectfully to Ye Liangchen. The two sisters owed their current achievements entirely to his help. If needed, the two sisters would do anything for this extraordinary young man, including things that cannot be described in words.

The spirit rings the sisters are currently absorbing are all from the ten-thousand-year-old sea spirit beast spirit rings provided by Ye Liangchen. As for the divine spirit ring they obtained during the Sea God's Light trial, the sisters are reluctant to absorb it now. Having received such a great opportunity, the two sisters have a chance to break through to level 90 around the age of 40. At that time, they can absorb a divine spirit ring and obtain a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.

"We're off now, good luck to you guys!"

The group instructed the Zhu sisters to undergo rigorous training before flying over the circular lake and heading towards the Seahorse Holy City.

"Eldest sister! Second sister, I'm leaving now."

Zhu Zhuqing hugged her two older sisters, kissed them on the cheek, and then flew over the circular lake to catch up with the main group.

"Make sure you come back safely."

The Zhu sisters waved to Ye Liangchen and his group, their eyes filled with determination; they were determined to persevere.

"High Priest, the Demon Orca King attacked our Seagod Island back then, but now its days are finally over."

"Hmm, the Demon Orca King is a cunning creature. If it weren't for Lord Sea God forbidding us from taking action, we would have destroyed it long ago. How could it have survived until today?"

"Xiao Chen will be able to collect over a hundred spirit rings this time! Spirit rings from sea spirit beasts like the Demonic Tiger Whale are top-grade spirit rings for us sea spirit masters!"

"Great! Yali, go and take stock of the Soul Masters on our island and see who is about to break through. Then I'll have Xiaochen bring out the Soul Rings for everyone to absorb. That way, there'll be no need for everyone to hunt Soul Beasts in the ocean."

"Yes, High Priest, I will do it immediately."

Poseidon and Ari stood atop the summit of Poseidon Mountain, watching Ye Liangchen depart into the distance, their faces beaming with excitement.

In fact, they understood that the Sea God was using these continental Soul Masters to destroy the Demon Orca Clan, so that he could avenge Xiaobai without causing too much harm.

Imagine if a Sea Soul Master were to hunt down hundreds of Demonic Orcas. Other Sea Soul Beasts would inevitably feel uncomfortable if they saw it. Therefore, it is more suitable for mainland Soul Masters to handle such large-scale hunting of Sea Soul Beasts.

……

An hour later, Ye Liangchen and his group arrived at the shore and saw that Xiaobai had already gathered twenty great white sharks with cultivation levels of over 30,000 years, ready to set sail.

"Ye Liangchen, let everyone jump onto the back of the Demon Soul Great White Shark!"

"You and Shuiyue'er can sit on my back!"

When Xiaobai saw everyone arrive, it jumped into the sea and transformed back into its original form as a Demon Soul Great White Shark, serving as Ye Liangchen's mount.

"Sister Xiaobai, do you know how far the Demon Orca Sea is from Seagod Island?" Shuiyue asked curiously.

"It's about 1000 li," Xiaobai nodded.

"Since it's over 1000 li, let's take a boat! It'll be more comfortable that way."

"My intuition tells me that this trip will take a long time."

Ye Liangchen guessed that the Demon Orca King would definitely lead its horde to flee their original territory. Conservatively speaking, it would take at least a month for them to find each other.

"Yes, it's more comfortable to travel by boat."

Shui Bing'er and the others agreed to Ye Liangchen's arrangement. They were all very familiar with Xiaobai and couldn't bear to let her be a mount, especially since sitting on the back of the Demon Soul Great White Shark would involve enduring wind and rain, which wouldn't be comfortable.

"We need to take a big ship to go out to sea, let's go and get ready."

The group headed straight to the dock, rented a 30-meter boat, and went to Seahorse City to buy some daily necessities and prepare for their sea voyage.

Ye Liangchen also went to the orchard and bought some grapes and fruit, since the trip was quite long and it wouldn't be good to go without fruit.

"Ye Liangchen, why did you arrange it this way?"

Xiao Bai followed Ye Liangchen, eating fruit as he asked curiously, "A mere thousand miles is nothing. The Demon Soul Great White Shark can reach it in two or three hours."

"Little White, the Demon Orca King and the three guardian beasts of Rakshasa Island attacked Seagod Island last time. When Seahorse Douluo and the others made their move, that guy escaped directly. So, in order to prevent Blood-Eyed Douluo and Seagod Island from retaliating, it will definitely lead its clan to flee its original territory."

Ye Liangchen explained to Xiaobai, making the big, clumsy shark understand the difference between itself and the Demon Orca King.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. With the human-like intelligence of the Demon Orca King, how could it possibly stay in the same place after the last sneak attack?

"Then I'll send two scouts to check out the territory of the Demon Orca King."

"Squeak..."

To confirm Ye Liangchen's guess, Xiaobai went straight to the shore and sent out two demon soul great white sharks with a cultivation level of 70,000 years to scout ahead.

……

After a period of busy work, the supplies for the voyage have been prepared.

"Set off!"

Ye Liangchen told Feng Xiaotian and the others to set sail, as they were already quite skilled at sea voyages.

"Shake it all up! We're going to conquer the ocean this time!"

"Splash, splash..."

Feng Xiaotian, Xie Yue, and the others immediately began rowing, steer the large ship towards the deep sea.

"I've entrusted the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan to protect you."

"Squeak..."

Xiao Bai emitted a strange sound wave, giving orders to the group of Demon Soul Great White Sharks. It then transformed into human form, jumped onto the large ship, and traveled with Ye Liangchen and his group.

Now that Xiaobai has transformed into human form, she can maintain it for two hours. This is all thanks to the Xuan Tian Gong taught by Ye Liangchen, which has made her stronger. When she is with everyone, this girl prefers to interact with them in human form.

"Little White, send your people back. This time, you will fight the other two Great White Sharks that are gathering information. The rest of you will stay and guard Seagod Island."

Ye Liangchen told Xiaobai to leave the remaining 18 Demon Soul Great White Sharks behind. There was no need to have so many sharks following them, lest it cause too much of a commotion.

"Ye Liangchen, although this is your assessment, it is also a holy war for our Demon Soul Great White Shark clan."

Xiao Bai couldn't understand why Ye Liangchen was unwilling to let his people participate in this battle.

"Little Bai, just do as Brother Ye says!"

"With us here, we can defeat the evil orca king with 100% certainty."

Jin Ling'er, Shui Bing'er, and others chimed in, saying that with Ye Liangchen's Life Blessing super support skill, once it was unleashed, everyone's combat power would increase several times over, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Okay then! Thank you everyone."

"Squeak..."

Seeing everyone's confidence, Xiaobai then emitted strange sound waves, ordering the 18 Demon Soul Great White Sharks to stay and guard Seagod Island.

At this moment, Xiao Bai understood that Ye Liangchen's arrangement was also to avoid the death of his subordinates. After all, the combat power of the Demon Soul Great White Shark was quite different from that of the Evil Demon Orca.

"Splash, splash..."

After receiving Little White's order, the eighteen demonic great white sharks turned around and swam towards Seagod Island, guarding the island's perimeter.

"Why have these demonic great white sharks returned? Could it be part of Young Master Ye's plan?"

Seahorse Douluo sat atop the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, and when he saw the ten-thousand-year-old demonic soul great white sharks beginning to return to Seagod Island, he was completely dumbfounded. However, thinking of the monstrous strength of these young people, he was no longer worried.

The large ship sailed for over a hundred miles in the waters around Poseidon Island. The journey was calm and peaceful, without any danger, and they didn't even encounter any powerful sea spirit beasts.

"Squeak..."

Four hours later, the large ship had sailed out of the waters where Poseidon Island was located. At this moment, the two demonic great white sharks that had gone out to gather information had returned, emitting strange sound waves as they relayed the information to Little White.

"Ye Liangchen, the Demon Orca King has indeed led its kin away from their original sea area."

"My scouts searched the area within a 2000-mile radius but found no trace of the demonic killer whales. I have no idea where they've hidden."

Xiaobai told Ye Liangchen the message she had received, and at that moment she was filled with admiration for his judgment.

"Little Chen, where should we go to find the Demon Orca King?"

"My lord, the food and fresh water on board will only last for a month..."

Upon hearing this news, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and the others all showed worried expressions. Without coordinates, finding the Demon Orca King in the vast ocean was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"Don't worry, we will find the Demon Orca King."

"There are many islands in the deep sea with fresh water, which we can replenish at any time. As for food, we don't need to worry about it at all. As the saying goes, 'Those who live near the mountains eat from the mountains, and those who live near the sea eat from the sea.' There are endless fish and shrimp in the sea, so we won't starve."

"Here, have some fruit first."

Ye Liangchen reassured everyone not to worry, then comfortably lay down on the rocking chair and took out crystal grapes from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch for everyone to enjoy.

The news brought back by the Demon Soul Great White Shark confirmed Ye Liangchen's guess. As a result, it would probably take even longer to find the Demon Orca King.

"Alright then, let's go cook first."

It was getting late, and Shui Bing'er and the others started to get busy preparing dinner. Xiao Bai even went into the water and caught over a hundred pounds of plump fish to add to everyone's meal.
