Chapter 599, Fourth Trial: The Battle of the Sharks and Whales

Gazing at the sea, Oscar said, "How are we going to find Little White? Are we going to go into the sea? What if she's not there, and we encounter her offspring or something that doesn't recognize us and attacks us?"

Tang San smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have my own way. Fatty, come with me." With that, he didn't release his martial soul, but directly activated the flight skill of his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone and took off.

Ma Hongjun dared not be negligent. He unfurled his Phoenix Wings Soaring, flapped his wings lightly, and followed Tang San into the air. With the improvement of his strength, he no longer needed to worry about his Phoenix Wings Soaring's flying ability. Even without using his Martial Soul True Body in actual combat, this third soul skill was enough to support him to fly normally in the air.

"Release your Martial Soul True Form and Domain. Water and fire are mutually exclusive, and Xiaobai is very familiar with your aura. As long as she is in the nearby sea, she will definitely be able to sense it. I will help you expand the range of your Domain."

"Okay." Since consuming the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, Ma Hongjun, though outwardly silent, obeyed Tang San's every word. In his eyes, Tang San was not only an elder brother but also a benefactor. The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower had neutralized his evil fire, allowing him to truly possess the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. The inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent had further elevated his strength to another level, especially granting him the domain ability that only a Title Douluo could possibly possess. He had never dared to forget these favors. He knew that Tang San didn't like him remembering these things, so he kept them hidden in his heart. The fat man had already decided in his heart that wherever Tang San was in the future, he would be there too, and whatever Tang San asked him to do, he would do.

When the seven-headed fire phoenix appeared in the sky, even the sun paled in comparison, its dazzling tail flames casting a hazy orange-red glow over the sky. As Ma Hongjun controlled his Martial Soul True Body to float in mid-air, his Seven-Headed Fire Phoenix Domain began to be released.

Rings of golden-red light spread rapidly, and a scorching and explosive aura descended from the sky, not only raising the temperature in the air but also illuminating everything around it, showcasing the phoenix's majesty.

Just then, Tang San's eyes lit up, and two deep blue beams of light silently emerged. The two beams merged in mid-air and landed directly on the fat man's brow. In an instant, the domain that the fat man had been releasing, which had only covered a diameter of 300 meters, suddenly increased to 1,000 meters. The golden-red light also became more concentrated, like a huge light shield appearing above the sea outside Seagod Island. The terrifying pressure caused the almost calm seawater to begin to boil slightly. On the surface of the sea, sea spirit beasts began to emerge, but seeing the terrifying power in the air, they dared not even think of attacking.

Tang San amplified Ma Hongjun's mental power, much like the highest level of the Purple Demon Eye. This immense power gently flowed into Ma Hongjun's mental world, stimulating a rapid increase in his mental strength, causing him to frantically absorb fire elements from the air and transform them into phoenix power that spread outwards. This process sounds simple, but it's actually extremely difficult. If Tang San's mental power hadn't been so far superior to Ma Hongjun's, it would have been impossible. After all, even if Ma Hongjun trusted him completely, his body would instinctively resist an invasion of his mental world. But now, under the infusion of Tang San's boundless Purple Demon Eye, his mental power couldn't even resist. Tang San himself knew very well that it was precisely because the Purple Demon Eye had broken through to the Vast Realm that he could finally truly challenge any Title Douluo below level 95 head-on. Even without his eighth spirit ring. This was confidence.

As the fat man's domain expanded, soon, triangular white dorsal fins began to appear on the gradually boiling sea surface. The turbulent sea calmed down again, and at least dozens of Demon Soul Great White Sharks revealed their backs. As the guardians of Seagod Island, how could they not react to this sudden provocation from the sky?

Before Tang San and Ma Hongjun could speak, nearly thirty Demon Soul Great White Sharks simultaneously raised their heads, releasing circular waves of light that surged towards Tang San and Ma Hongjun. It was the Despair Wave that Xiao Bai had once unleashed.

Although these Demon Soul Great White Sharks were far inferior to Little White, their sheer numbers gave them the upper hand. Working together, a wide-ranging barrage of demonic soul light waves locked onto Tang San and Ma Hongjun. Even in his Martial Soul True Form state, Fatty still trembled. After all, these Demon Soul Great White Sharks were likely all ten-thousand-year-old!

Tang San, however, paid no attention, calmly watching the rising light patterns below. He raised his right hand and pressed it to his brow. Instantly, a powerful, deep blue light surged forth from the center of his head, surging and pressing down like a violent wave. All the light waves that encountered this undulating blue energy immediately and silently dissolved. Both were attacks of spiritual energy, yet there was no collision between them. It felt as if the despairing light waves emitted by the Demon Soul Great White Shark swarm had been swallowed up by the blue light released by Tang San.

"We are Xiaobai's friends and mean no harm. We just need to contact Xiaobai about something. Please let everyone know."

Tang San didn't say these words aloud, but rather conveyed them through the wave-like blue light he released—something he could never have imagined before, yet he could do easily now.

After these days of research, Tang San discovered that his mental power had indeed reached a new level, though he couldn't quite pinpoint what that level was. However, he discovered many wonderful applications. For example, communication between people of the same level, like his interaction with Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo. And then there was the ability to transmit his thoughts to someone with far inferior mental abilities through his mental power. This wasn't communication; it was imposing his thoughts into the other person's mind. Of course, this imposition could also be transformed into an attack. If his previous Purple Extreme Divine Light was a single-target attack, then his current Purple Extreme Divine Light, having reached the Vast Realm, could now launch area-of-effect attacks, and the power of these attacks was even greater than his previous single-target attacks.

Tang San is still exploring the many wonderful uses of his spiritual power, but he is certain that the benefits of upgrading the Purple Demon Eye to the Vast Ocean Realm are no less than those of the Martial Soul True Body.

The blue light he released was no longer just the Purple Demon Eye of the past; it also incorporated the Vast Ocean Universe Shield's power, the Raging Ocean. After the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull fused with the Vast Ocean Universe Shield, it was equivalent to his Purple Divine Light merging with the original four abilities of the Vast Ocean Universe Shield. This is why Tang San wasn't certain about the current level of his skull. After all, even a 100,000-year-old soul bone only grants two skills. But he now possessed four skills in all their glory. And this doesn't even consider the wondrous effects of the amplified spiritual power.

Sensing Tang San's message, the demonic great white sharks in the sea became uneasy. Although the mental power Tang San had instilled in their minds didn't bring any real pressure, it had breached their mental defenses. All the demonic great white sharks abandoned their attack and turned to dive back into the sea.

"It's done." Tang San greeted Ma Hongjun, signaling him to retract his Martial Soul True Form.

The fat man transformed back into his original form, using the phoenix wings to float beside Tang San, looking at his third brother with a strange gaze.

"What? Don't you recognize me? Why are you looking at me like that?" Tang San looked at the fat man with amusement.

Ma Hongjun sighed dejectedly and said, "Third Brother, you're becoming increasingly unfathomable to me. Just how powerful are you?"

Tang San chuckled and said, "Why are you thinking about these things? No matter how strong I am, you're still my good brother! What I just did was just a way of releasing my spiritual power, using the Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

Ma Hongjun laughed and said, "Anyway, I'll be following you from now on. The stronger you are, the better. It'll be prestigious to be your underling. Haha."

As the two were talking, the seawater beneath their feet rippled again, and Xiaobai's familiar figure appeared in everyone's sight.

A massive shark head emerged from the water, looking at Tang San with a mixture of surprise and disbelief. The news she had received from her tribespeople was hard for her to believe. Now, Tang San didn't seem any different! Could it be that in just over a year, this guy had encountered some extraordinary adventure?

"Little Whitey," Ma Hongjun called out with a hint of teasing.

Little White said irritably, "Little White, is that how you address me? That's the Sea God's special name for me. You humans can't call me that. What do you want from me?"

Oscar, standing on the shore, said, "Little White, are you feigning ignorance? Don't you know our fourth test is related to you?"

Upon hearing the words "fourth exam," Xiaobai's expression became noticeably serious, and she asked, "Are you all ready?"

Tang San and Ma Hongjun floated down and landed on the beach, while Xiao Bai also rose from the sea and transformed into human form, landing in front of everyone.

Tang San said, "We only have one year to pass the assessment. Even if we continue to cultivate, it will be difficult for us to make any significant breakthroughs in our strength within the remaining year. Therefore, we plan to complete this mission as soon as possible."

Xiao Bai frowned slightly, her body reflecting a grayish-blue light under the sunlight. "The Demon Orcas are not so easy to deal with. They are not as easy to talk to as I am; they are extremely ferocious creatures in the ocean. Apart from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which can intimidate them to some extent, these bastards have always run rampant in the ocean."

Dai Mubai said, "Just how powerful is this Demonic Orca? We still have to complete our mission. I imagine these bastards you're talking about don't have a very good relationship with your Demon Soul Great White Shark clan."

"Good? Of course it's good." Little White said through gritted teeth, "My brother died in the mouth of the Demon Orca King. If I had the ability, I would have destroyed that guy who polluted the sea long ago. Among us sea spirit beasts, there are also ranks. Generally speaking, we Demon Soul Great White Sharks, along with the Deep Sea Demon Whale and the Demon Orca, belong to the top of the ocean's food chain. But in reality, there are certain differences between the three of us. The Deep Sea Demon Whale is undoubtedly the most powerful, but this group is extremely small. Moreover, they all live alone. Furthermore, the Deep Sea Demon Whale is very lazy, usually just opening their stupid-looking mouths underwater and waiting for food to be delivered to them. And besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale, the most powerful is the Demon Orca. Although I'm reluctant to admit it, those guys who polluted the ocean are indeed stronger than us."

At this point, intense hatred flashed in Xiaobai's eyes. "The Demonic Orca is an extremely bloodthirsty sea spirit beast. Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is unwilling to provoke them easily. Because the Demonic Orca is a social spirit beast, and has almost no natural enemies, their numbers are quite considerable. These creatures that defile the ocean are unrestrained in the sea. Even when they don't need food, they will continue to kill, tearing apart any creature they encounter without mercy. Every sea spirit beast is filled with hatred for them. It's just that because of their strength, no one dares to challenge them. About 500 kilometers away from here, there is a group of Demonic Orcas. They are our nemesis. Almost every few decades or centuries, our two groups launch a holy war."

Seeing that Xiaobai clearly had reservations about the demonic orca, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but ask, "You lost?"

Xiao Bai nodded reluctantly, "We are always at a disadvantage. If it weren't for the fact that they dare not approach Seagod Island for fear of incurring the wrath of Lord Seagod, our race would probably have ceased to exist long ago."

Tang San said, "Since we have to face them, Xiao Bai, tell me the details about the Demon Orca."

Xiao Bai said, "Adult Demon Orcas are between twenty and twenty-five meters long. They possess strong physiques, sharp teeth, and powerful skills. One Demon Orca is enough to fight two of our adult members to a draw. These ferocious creatures never leave anyone alive. Once they gain the upper hand, they will tear their opponent to pieces. The total number of Demon Orcas is about three hundred, with about two hundred adults, roughly the same as us. For us, the only thing we can be thankful for is that their reproductive capacity is not as high as ours. Otherwise, their numbers would be even more terrifying. It can be said that if they were led by the Demon Orca King, their group would already be qualified to challenge the Deep Sea Demon Orca King. Of course, that could also lead to their extermination. That's why they have never dared to truly enter the Deep Sea Demon Orca King's territory."

The Shrek Seven Devils exchanged bewildered glances. Oscar swallowed hard and said, "So, our fourth trial, which requires us to assist you in wiping out this Demon Orca clan, essentially means we have to withstand half of the Demon Orca's attacks?"

Xiao Bai snorted dismissively and said, "What? Are you scared? If you're scared, you don't have to go."

Xiao Ao mimicked her and snorted in the same way, "I'd like to not go. But if I don't go, my Black-Level Sixth Trial will kill me. Besides, so what if there are a hundred Demon Orcas? How do you know we can't win?"

Xiao Bai's expression was unusually solemn. "I don't care whether you have the courage or the strength. What I'm worried about is my people. After decades of recuperation, my people have finally achieved what they have today. If you are not capable enough and fail to wipe out the demonic orca horde, then my people will pay the price with their lives."

Hearing Xiao Bai's words, the Shrek Seven Devils fell silent. The lives of their own people were at stake, and they had to be cautious. But with the assessment looming ahead, could they really afford not to go?

After a long pause, Tang San finally spoke, "Little Bai, I can't guarantee your people won't be harmed. But I can assure you that if this operation fails, we will all die before you. Please believe me, we won't risk our lives. Although you are the examiner for our second test, you should know that we consider you a friend. Your people are naturally our friends too. I can only say that we will do everything we can to minimize your people's casualties. If you really don't want to participate in this battle, then please take us there. We will face it ourselves."

Xiao Bai fell silent, staring intently at Tang San. "Can we not go? This isn't just a test for you, but also a mission given to us by the Sea God. To annihilate the demonic orca horde and restore peace to our home, the ocean, is our duty as servants of the Sea God. Since you believe you are ready, then let's set off."

As it spoke, Xiaobai turned to the sea and opened its mouth to emit a strange buzzing sound. At first, the buzzing sound was very soft, but as time went by, the sound gradually became louder and louder, even drowning out the sound of the waves on the sea.

The seawater in front of Poseidon Island was boiling, and lithe white figures began to emerge from the surface, their triangular dorsal fins forming a neat formation. The sight of two hundred Demon Soul Great White Sharks lined up was truly remarkable. These great white sharks were all over fifteen meters long, each radiating powerful energy fluctuations. Hidden in the water, they resembled a well-organized army.

Xiao Bai stopped speaking, turned around, and looked at Tang San again. "Tang San, I know you are about to undergo the Nine Trials of the Sea God. Otherwise, this trial would never have occurred. Before we set off, I have a request that I hope you can grant."

Tang San replied without hesitation, "Tell me. I will do whatever I can."

Xiao Bai's gaze softened slightly, but it was still filled with a tragic air. "If I don't return alive this time, there are still hundreds of my people's descendants, including juvenile Demon Soul Great White Sharks, in this sea. I hope you can help take care of them. Is that alright?"

Tang San's heart skipped a beat, not because of Xiao Bai's conditions, but because of the tone in which Xiao Bai seemed to be entrusting her son to someone else. Clearly, she was not optimistic about the upcoming battle.

"Little White, don't be pessimistic. We will definitely win, we will definitely come back alive. Not just us, but also you and your people. Those juvenile Demon Soul Great White Sharks are still waiting for you to protect them. Perhaps you don't know yet, Rongrong's fourth test task is to ensure your survival. If you die, our test will be considered a failure."

Xiao Bai paused for a moment, looking at Ning Rongrong in surprise, and muttered to himself, "So, Lord Sea God didn't abandon his servants. Does this mean we really don't have to die?"

Oscar leaned closer to Xiaobai. "Looks like you're really afraid of that Demon Orca King. Aren't you always so arrogant? You're both 100,000-year-old soul beasts. How come there's such a big difference?"

"You're talking nonsense. Who's afraid of that bastard?" Little White roared, slapping Oscar away. He shouted, "Let's go!" With that, he leaped up and plunged into the sea, transforming into his true form.

Oscar rolled on the ground and stood up. To his surprise, he discovered that although Xiao Bai's palm strike hadn't used much force, the expected pain hadn't occurred. His bones and muscles had automatically absorbed the force of the blow. He looked disheveled, but in reality, he didn't feel any pain at all.

The Shrek Seven Devils simultaneously leaped into the air, landing on the backs of seven exceptionally large Demon Soul Great White Sharks as instructed by Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai, the first shark, darted forward. Two hundred Demon Soul Great White Sharks followed closely behind, carrying the Shrek Seven Devils straight towards the deep sea.

Tang San, with Xiao Wu in his arms, stood on the back of a Demon Soul Great White Shark. With their current strength, although the shark's back was very smooth, they were certain they wouldn't fall off. Oscar and Ning Rongrong, though slightly disheveled, relied on their Soul Saint-level body control and enhanced physique. While they couldn't stand on the shark's head like Tang San, they were still able to stabilize themselves by grabbing the dorsal fin while riding on the Great White Shark's back.

In the vast ocean, the Shrek Seven Devils truly experienced the power of the Great White Shark, the overlord of the sea. Riding the waves, their speed was unmatched by any other vessel. The howling sea winds cut through their bodies like knives, and the surrounding seawater, shimmering with blue light, swept past their sides. The sensation was both incredibly thrilling and extremely dangerous.

Even when flying in the air, Bai Chenxiang, who is known for her speed, had to use two low-level soul skills to keep up with them and not fall behind.

This truly showcases the power of the Demon Soul Great White Shark. In the circular sea, Little White Shark hadn't been able to unleash its full potential due to the limited surface area. However, this discovery only heightened the Shrek Seven Devils' vigilance. The fact that such a powerful Demon Soul Great White Shark could frighten their target, the Demon Orca, demonstrated the difficulty of their fourth trial.

As the Demon Soul Great White Shark moved forward, Tang San was not idle either. With the Demon Soul Great White Shark as his means of transportation, he could focus entirely on devising tactics.

Without a doubt, the Demonic Orca pod is extremely powerful, more than twice as powerful as the Demonic Soul Great White Shark pod. Could the seven of them really handle hundreds of top-tier soul beasts from the ocean—the Demonic Orca? Little White is clearly no match for the Demonic Orca King. Even ordinary Demonic Orcas are already giving them a run for their money, let alone helping Little White.

Judging from the strength of both sides, although Tang San is confident in himself, he would never blindly engage in a head-on confrontation.

Wisdom is also a part of strength. Given the immense power of the Demonic Orca pod, it's conceivable that they would develop arrogance and haughtiness. Even if they won in a direct confrontation, the Demonic Soul Great White Shark pod would suffer heavy losses, something Tang San definitely didn't want to see. Little White's sorrowful eyes were still deeply etched in his mind. Therefore, he needed to think of other solutions.

Five hundred li is not a short distance, but with the incredibly fast travel speed of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, it would only take two hours. At Tang San's request, Xiao Bai directed its people to stop and rest fifty li away from their destination.

Tang San released the Dragon Abyss Boat, providing shelter for the Shrek Seven Devils. Xiao Bai was also called up by him. Usually curious about new things, she wasn't in the mood to admire the Dragon Abyss Boat at this moment. She simply sat there quietly, lost in thought.

Tang San asked, "Little Bai, are you still worried?"

Xiao Bai rolled her eyes at him, as if to say, "If your people are about to be in dire straits, wouldn't you be worried?"

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "I have a plan that might minimize our losses. Would you be willing to give it a try?"

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up. "A way? What way? Let me tell you, the Demon Orca has a ripple detection method. Any creature with energy within ten miles cannot escape their detection and will immediately suffer a devastating blow. If you're thinking of using some tricks to deal with them, you'd better give up that idea. If they were that easy to deal with, we would have wiped them out long ago."

A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he said, "Their detection capabilities are irrelevant to my plan. I'll only ask you one question: Is the Demonic Orca afraid of poison?"

Xiao Bai was taken aback. "Poison? Poison? That's right, we sea spirit beasts don't have any resistance to poison. But don't forget how huge our bodies are, plus our powerful spirit energy. Even if we ingest a large amount of poison, we can resist it with our own immunity. Sea serpent venom is arguably the strongest in the ocean. But both we and the Demon Orca can use them as food. What poison could you possibly have that's stronger than a sea serpent's? Besides, if you put the poison in the sea, given the Demon Orca's vigilance, it would be detected very quickly. It would only make them more ferocious."

Tang San smiled calmly and said, "That's none of your business. I'm just asking you, are you willing to take this risk with me, just the two of us?"

Xiao Bai frowned. "You and me? You're not planning on just the two of us attacking the Demon Orca pod, are you?"

Tang San said, "Of course it wasn't an attack, it was a sneak attack. Don't you know there's an art called assassination?"

Xiao Bai looked at Tang San and said, "I don't understand, what method do you have to approach the Demon Orca pod without being detected?"

Tang San smiled slightly, "Then you watch." He tapped his forehead with his finger, and in the next instant, he vanished from Xiao Bai's sight without warning.

Xiao Bai's eyes widened, and she suddenly released her powerful mental energy, trying to locate Tang San. However, she was shocked to find that Tang San seemed to have truly vanished. Her mental energy had spread to an area of ​​the sea hundreds of meters in diameter, but she couldn't find any trace of him. She even waved her hand in the spot where Tang San had been standing, but couldn't touch anything.

"Where are Tang Sanren?" Xiaobai asked Oscar.

Oscar spread his hands. "How should I know? Didn't you say he couldn't approach the pod of demonic orcas silently?"

Xiao Bai excitedly said, "I believe you, I believe you, okay? Tang San, come out quickly and tell me your plan. As long as we can completely destroy those guys who have polluted the ocean, what's a little risk?"

A faint blue light flashed, and Tang San's figure reappeared, still sitting in the same spot, without even changing his posture. It was as if he had never moved at all.

"Tang San, how did you do that?" Xiao Bai asked in surprise.

Tang San smiled and said, "This is one of my skills. It can make us invisible. I need you as my mount so that we can come and go without a trace. You're right, I'm not confident that I can poison the Demon Orca, but how can I find out the extent of their physical resistance if I don't try? Besides, poison is just the first gift I've prepared for them."

Xiao Bai chuckled, "In that case, what are we waiting for?"

Tang San waved to Oscar and simultaneously put Xiao Wu's true form into his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch.

Oscar knowingly tossed over a string of sausages, both pink and dark green. As for Xiao Wu, it was Tang San's reluctant decision; he was going on an adventure, and Xiao Wu had already threatened him with her soul, demanding he take her with him. Despite Tang San's strong opposition, the two finally compromised, and Xiao Wu's body was placed in the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch, thus allowing her to stay by Tang San's side.

Dai Mubai said, "Isn't the Demon Orca's detection range only about ten miles? Shouldn't we move forward a bit more, at least to within twenty miles of them? That way, we can provide backup for you."

Tang San and Xiao Bai shook their heads almost simultaneously. Tang San said, "Although the Demon Orca's sensing range is limited, we must not be careless. If they discover our main force and attack, forcing us into a head-on confrontation, the losses would be unbearable. You two wait here for my signal. Do not move until I send a signal flare. Xiao Bai, let's go."

Xiao Bai couldn't wait any longer. She leaped into the sea and transformed into her true form. Tang San floated up and lightly touched her head with his toes. The huge white figure instantly accelerated, heading straight for its destination.

Tang San used his soul power to block the oncoming wind and asked Xiao Bai, "Can you sense the exact location of the Demonic Tiger Whale pod? They should be constantly changing positions, right?"

Little White said, "Don't worry, if I didn't even have this much ability, I wouldn't be worthy of leading the clan. As long as I get within fifty miles of them, I can smell their scent. In terms of olfactory ability, there are no soul beasts in this ocean that can compare to our Demon Soul Great White Shark."

Without the constraints of her clan, Xiao Bai's speed reached its limit. Even with Tang San's Vast Eye sensing the changes around him, he could no longer fully grasp the fluctuations of the surrounding seawater. This absolute speed in the ocean was even comparable to that of a swift flying in the air for a short period of time.

It seemed like only a few breaths had passed when Xiaobai gradually slowed down. Her voice was noticeably lower, "We're only about twenty miles away from them now. I suggest we don't get any closer. That Demon Orca King is despicable, but it's incredibly powerful. If we go any further, I'm afraid it will detect my mental fluctuations."

Tang San nodded and said, "Alright, let's go here then. Let's dive down." As he spoke, he touched his forehead, and a pale blue light quietly appeared, enveloping him and Xiao Bai's bodies, and they silently sank into the sea.

When Xiaobai was truly enveloped by the light of the Vast Ocean Protective Shield, her heart suddenly trembled; the energy fluctuations were so familiar. Her previously hesitant heart, upon sensing this unique aura, wavered completely, becoming incredibly resolute. She swiftly submerged into the deep sea, carrying Tang San's body.

After the Vast Ocean Universe Cover merged with Tang San's spiritual wisdom skull, Tang San discovered that he was no longer restricted by movement when using the skill, and his body would not become visible even while moving. However, the limitation still existed: he could not use any other skills, and the invisibility effect would disappear once the skill was used.
