Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

"It seems that you dragons all like to devour soul rings."

Seeing the Radiant Dragon King enjoying a hearty meal, Zhao Xuanzhen recalled the indomitable soul spirit Tyrannosaurus from another timeline, who had also devoured soul rings and soul spirits.

“What kind of talk is that?” the Radiant Dragon King said emphatically. “Three parts training, seven parts nutrition, that’s how the Dragon God cultivates!”

I've been lying in Dragon Valley for too long, and my strength is less than one percent of what it used to be. Devouring the soul ring will help my dragon soul return to its peak, and in the future, it will all be returned to your seventh soul ring.

So, you know.

Having said that, the Radiant Dragon King chuckled and transformed into an even more condensed stream of purple-gold light, which then disappeared back into Zhao Xuanzhen's body.

"Why are you like Gu Yue, not treating sea spirit beasts as spirit beasts..."

Zhao Xuanzhen made a sarcastic remark and landed on the floating wreckage of the Shark King. Dark gold claws extended from his fingertips, the claw tips shimmering with sharp dark gold light. With one swipe, he split the Demon Soul Great White Shark King in two, peeling off a piece of bone that emitted a blue-gray luster.

This blue-gray soul bone has a surface that flows with a deep, ocean-like luster. Its shape resembles a human skull, with patterns that faintly form interlocking fangs. A ring of slightly raised, sharp bone spikes is embedded in the center of its forehead, exuding a chilling aura. It is the most powerful attack feature and spiritual essence of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King!

The head bone of a 100,000-year-old demonic great white shark!

A 100,000-year-old soul beast will definitely drop a soul bone, which is one of the six common soul bone parts that the killer does not have. External soul bones are not included in this count.

Zhao Xuanzhen absorbed the torso soul bone of the Radiant Dragon King and the left leg soul bone of the Holy Radiant Evil God Tiger. If we exclude the external soul bones that are as rare as winning the lottery, then killing the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark would result in a choice of one of four: the skull, both arms, or the right leg. He was lucky and obtained the most precious skull.

This 100,000-year-old shark skull lay quietly in Zhao Xuanzhen's palm, becoming the number one trophy of this earth-shattering naval battle.

Zhao Xuanzhen pondered for two and a half seconds, then silently put the head soul bone of the 100,000-year-old demon soul great white shark into his storage soul tool. If it were the limb soul bones, he might have considered absorbing them, since limb soul bones could be replaced, but the skull... he couldn't just cut off his head!

While the Demon Soul Great White Shark Soul Bone was indeed rare and valuable, it was still far from meeting the minimum requirements for the skull in Zhao Xuanzhen's heart. Therefore, it was left for one of the lucky ones around him to fuse with.

The higher the bloodline level and cultivation level of a soul beast, the easier it is to obtain soul bones. The Demon Soul Great White Shark clan is a top-level sea soul beast. With hundreds of sharks, you can get five or six soul bones. When Zhao Xuanzhen was searching through the corpses one by one, he suddenly remembered the 100,000-year-old deep-sea demon whale.

Since he was her savior, Zhao Xuanzhen decided to ask the Deep Sea Demon Whale for the exact location of Devil Island. But when he turned around, he saw that the Deep Sea Demon Whale had already secretly swum away, with two relatively intact Demon Soul Great White Shark corpses in its mouth!

Humans, scared, running away!

……

The next day, noon.

The sun was shining brightly, a gentle sea breeze was blowing, and seagulls occasionally flew across the sky.

The mecha speedboat sped northward, and the man and his two beasts continued their peaceful life, reading to increase their knowledge while fishing and waiting for dinner.

Although Zhao Xuanzhen wiped out a clan of Demon Soul Great White Sharks, he did not take the shark carcasses as food reserves. Firstly, most of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks were tainted with the power of destruction and could not be eaten. Secondly, shark meat was notoriously unpalatable, and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks were no exception. Only the shark fins were worth trying.

Zhao Xuanzhen savored the fins of a few great white sharks killed by a combination of chickens and pigs, but for future ocean voyages, he would still need to fish to be self-sufficient.

The fishing rod twitched slightly, and the Yin-Yang Chaos Bird, who had been helpless since learning the lesson, suddenly brightened up and shouted, "A fish has taken the bait!"

Zhao Xuanzhen reached out and pulled, and the ten-thousand-year-old red-spotted starfish was put into his pocket!

The red-spotted starfish is a deep-sea fish with a tender and delicious flavor. It is highly nourishing for the body and is considered one of the finest catches Zhao Xuanzhen made during his voyage.

Casting the fishing rod, I waited patiently for a fish to bite. A few minutes later, the rod started moving, and this time it was a giant sea eel.

In the following days, it was as if Zhao Xuanzhen had stirred up a fishpond, and all sorts of sea spirit beasts appeared on his fishing rod, none of them with a cultivation level of less than ten thousand years!

Glancing at the ancient sea spirit beasts piled up on the deck, Lingrui the capybara exclaimed in surprise, "Man, you've turned your luck around today."

Zhao Xuanzhen remained silent, beckoned to the Lingrui capybara, and pointed to the deep sea below the horizon.

Tun Tun toddled over on her short legs, leaned over the railing and looked down. She saw a huge black shadow, as big as an island, swimming beneath the speedboat and accompanying it as it sailed.

A 100,000-year-old deep-sea monster whale!

Turning his head to look at the dozens of fish that Zhao Xuanzhen had caught, all of which had shallow teeth marks on their skin, Tun Tun suddenly realized that the 100,000-year-old deep-sea demon whale had spent the night recovering from its injuries and had swum back today to repay the favor!

"He's really lucky, it's like he's secretly blessed by a lucky star. If I can meet him, I'll definitely thank him properly," Zhao Xuanzhen said meaningfully.

"It's me, it's me, human!"

With a splash, a wave surged across the water. The deep-sea whale maintained the same speed as the speedboat, its two pure, untainted beastly eyes blinking. Contrary to its enormous size, the deep-sea whale possessed a clear and melodious girlish voice.

"Thank you for your hard work, Deep Sea Demon Whale," Zhao Xuanzhen said with a smile.

"It's not hard work, it's nothing."

The deep-sea demon whale's eyes were shining brightly. It had been frightened by the Radiant Dragon King yesterday and fled to another sea area to think for a whole night before finally deciding to come and repay its benefactor.

The act of hooking a fish was a test, and Zhao Xuanzhen's reaction suggested he was an honest and kind person; he didn't attack it yet. A preliminary friendship was established, and the deep-sea whale flicked its tail and dived into the deep sea.

"You wait, I'll catch you a big one!"

Half an hour later, the king of the deep-sea demon whale returned, carrying a large fish in its mouth. The fish was flat and broad, like a dark purple flying carpet, with a pair of canvas-like wing-shaped pectoral fins extending from its body.

A 90,000-year-old manta ray!

"Ta-da! Ocean's hard currency!" the deep-sea whale boasted.

Zhao Xuanzhen dragged the manta ray onto the deck. No matter how abundant the marine resources are, a 100,000-year-old soul beast is not like a cabbage that costs five cents a pound on the street. This manta ray is already the overlord of a certain sea area.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale, this soul beast, is benevolent and righteous!

The manta ray seemed to still have a breath left, its mouth opening and closing as it continuously accused the deep-sea demon whale in the language of soul beasts.

"Could you translate this? I feel like Brother Devil Fish's swearing is pretty vulgar," Zhao Xuanzhen asked curiously.

"that's not important."

A clear jet of water shot out from the blowhole on the back of the deep-sea whale. No matter what kind of creature it is, it will make some small movements to pretend to be busy when it is embarrassed.

Lingrui the capybara, understanding the situation, established a mental link with Zhao Xuanzhen and repeated the manta ray's grief-stricken last words.

You are amazing, you are arrogant!

You're using me for diplomacy!

Chapter 147 The Gluttonous Blue Buddha, the Vast-Eating Dragon King, and the Seven Old Demons Who Are Itching to Make a Move (4K)

Under the bright sun, which cast a blazing white light, the black speedboat cleaved through the waves like a sharp blade. On the deck, Zhao Xuanzhen hung a manta ray from the top of the mast, preparing to dry it into dried fish.

When this 90,000-year-old manta ray breathed its last, it was filled with resentment. It's estimated that even in the underworld, it would accuse the deep-sea whale of using it as a thank-you gift.

It was lunchtime, and since the deep-sea demon whale had brought over quite a few sea spirit beasts, Zhao Xuanzhen had enough to choose from. The fish were cut into appropriately sized thin slices and neatly arranged on an ice platter. Large chunks of fish with bones were thrown into a pot, and after being simmered over the flames, a rich and fragrant aroma wafted up.

Zhao Xuanzhen couldn't compare to a culinary master like Mu Ye, but high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. The ten-thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts were all top-notch ingredients, and the rich aroma of the fish soup, filled with the scent of the deep sea, quietly wafted into the side of the ship.

As the oven flames burned, Zhao Xuanzhen placed the skewered sea fish on the fire. The oil immediately began to sizzle merrily, and the aroma of the roasted meat exploded, forcefully tearing apart the warm fish soup and spreading unrestrainedly in all directions.

Beside the speedboat, the deep-sea whale poked half its head out, its huge eyes narrowing slightly as it stared intently at Zhao Xuanzhen, its expression a human-like hesitation.

"Want to eat together?" Zhao Xuanzhen's clear voice pierced through the roar of the waves.

"You eat, I'm not hungry..."

Having its appetite craved by humans, the deep-sea whale seemed somewhat embarrassed. The seawater beside the ship rippled due to the mental fluctuations of the ocean overlord. Although it verbally refused, its eyes remained fixed on the tempting grilled fish that was gradually turning caramel color.

Zhao Xuanzhen smiled, took down a sizzling sea eel, and with a flick of his arm, the plump grilled eel drew a steaming arc and landed in the ocean beside the ship.

"boom--"

A huge whirlpool exploded on the sea surface, and the deep-sea whale sucked in the oil, causing the grilled eel to vanish without a trace, not even a drop of oil floated to the surface.

"anything else?"

"want……"

Upon hearing Zhao Xuanzhen's smiling question, the Deep Sea Demon Whale was so ashamed that it spat out a jet of water.

"A 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast can transform into human form. Would you like to come aboard and eat?"

Normally, when a soul beast cultivates to the point of 100,000 years, it has one chance to transform into a human and start cultivating again. A ferocious beast that has cultivated for 200,000 years can possess the ability to transform into a human form. However, sea soul beasts are a bit different. They have the ability to transform after 100,000 years of cultivation, but at the cost of greatly reduced combat power in human form and the inability to leave the sea for too long.

The deep-sea whale closed its eyes as if in agreement, and a bright blue light shone forth. Suddenly, a figure rose from the sea surface.

The seawater gently slid down, like countless scattered sapphires. Her long hair, reaching her waist and hips, shone with a deep blue hue under the direct sunlight, as if it were the essence of the entire ocean.

The girl emerged from the water, her bare feet treading on the undulating waves as if walking on flat ground. Her stunningly beautiful face was breathtaking, her pupils were a clear and clean sea blue, and a form-fitting thin dress that shimmered with light outlined her surging curves. Her bosom was as unfathomable as the sea.

The waves carried the girl onto the deck. She looked at the grill with longing in her eyes. After taking the grilled fish from Zhao Xuanzhen, she didn't care that it was hot and took a bite of the crispy fish skin. The deliciousness of the fish meat instantly filled her mouth.

"Thank you, thank you. It's been so long since I've been to the human world to enjoy delicious food. My mom always forbids me from going."

The young woman thanked them as she ate, clearly a discerning person and a seasoned gourmet.

She finished the grilled fish in a few seconds, not even leaving the bones behind. She licked the grease off her slender fingers with a natural allure.

"More?"

"Uh-huh!"

This time, the deep-sea whale went all out, disregarding its shyness and wariness, its only thought being to have a good meal first.

The injuries sustained in the battle with the Great White Shark clan have not yet healed, and the previous battle with the 90,000-year-old manta ray also resulted in a sting from its tail. At this moment, he urgently needs to replenish his nutrition and heal his wounds!

The human form was a transformation, and the girl still maintained the huge appetite of her original form. The deep-sea demon whale was almost the largest sea spirit beast among those of the same cultivation level. Zhao Xuanzhen looked at the girl who kept showing off one fish after another, and at one moment he suddenly hallucinated the silver-haired idiot who was left to guard the Spirit Pagoda.

"It doesn't seem to be enough..."

The catch on the deck was decreasing at a visible rate. Zhao Xuanzhen glanced at the demon whale girl who was eating with great relish, and golden currents gathered at his fingertips.

“The character Zhen represents a net of thunder.”

A golden electric net suddenly opened up, powerfully covering the entire sea area. Electric snakes twisted and leaped, and deafening crackling sounds of electric currents rang out. Schools of fish distorted and froze in the bright light, then floated to the surface in dense numbers, their white bellies turned up.

"Hey, how could you fish with electricity like that!"

The girl's beautiful eyes widened in shock, like an honest child witnessing a classmate cheating on an exam.

"Don't misunderstand, this is new energy fishing." Zhao Xuanzhen casually waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept the fish down onto the deck.

"The human world is developing quite fast," the girl muttered, crunching away on a lobster, shell and all.

The two sat on the side of the boat piled with sea spirit beasts, with leaping charcoal fires in between them, and devoured the sea that had just been subjected to an electric shock and was quickly covered with the aroma of food.

“Deep Sea Demon Whale, I have a question for you. Have you ever heard of Devil Island?” Zhao Xuanzhen got down to business.

"Deep-sea Demon Whales are a species, and I have my own name. I am called Lan Fuzi!" the girl introduced herself, puffing out her cheeks.

"Devil Island is located in the Devil Sea in the north, and it suddenly appeared more than a thousand years ago. The island was formed after countless fragments fell from the sky into the ocean, and two completely opposite energies appeared on the island: one is an extremely rich life force, and the other is a destructive energy that destroys everything."

My mother said that it was precisely because of the delicate balance between life and destruction that the destructive energy was prevented from leaking out and bringing a cataclysmic disaster to Douluo Star.

"I'm going to Devil's Island. Is there a problem with our current course?" Zhao Xuanzhen pressed.

“The general direction is correct. To repay your kindness, I will accompany you to Devil's Island,” Lan Fuzi offered.

"The Devil's Sea possesses a lingering destructive power, which intensifies the closer you get to Devil's Island. Your ship won't be able to withstand it. I'll give you a ride if necessary. There are also many powerful sea spirit beasts in the sea that crave to devour life energy. With my escort, the journey will be much safer."

"sorry to bother you."

"No problem, remember to cover the meals!"

Lan Fuzi chuckled, revealing his true intention to freeload.

The sea voyage was tedious and boring, so Zhao Xuanzhen and Lan Fuzi started chatting aimlessly. This naive and innocent Miss Demon Whale quickly became good friends with the human and the beast.

Zhao Xuanzhen inquired about the distant seas that the Sun Moon Federation had not yet explored, and the 100,000-year-old king of the Deep Sea Empire. These were secrets known only to the Sea Soul Beast Overlords, unknown to the Sun Moon Federation, and also beyond the comprehension of his past life memories and current experiences. Zhao Xuanzhen harbored a certain spirit of exploration.

By the way, I'll make a note of which sea area is easy to bully. When you have time, please come to the Spirit Pagoda to visit.

Lan Fuzi spoke frankly, revealing all the secrets of the sea in just a few words, and then told Zhao Xuanzhen his views on the lords of the various sea areas.

"The Poseidon Sea is centered around Poseidon Island, which was established by the first Poseidon. The most disgusting thing about the sea is the Demon Soul Great White Shark, the overlord of the sea!"

Especially that shark king named Little White, he's even more pretentious than the Demon Orca King. Relying on being the mount of two generations of sea gods, he always acts like he's superior to all other beasts. Mom hates sea gods the most; she'll wipe them out one day!

"Ah."

Zhao Xuanzhen nodded in deep agreement.

"Thousands of years ago, the Sea Princess clan was forced to leave the far north ice sea and flee to the deep sea region. It is said that the far north ruler, Titan Snow Demon King, was captured by a human force called the Spirit Pagoda. The Ice Jade Scorpion clan and the Titan Snow Demon clan were taken away in a package deal."

The sea spirit beasts have now reached a consensus: the Spirit Pagoda is the most evil human force on this planet. You should be careful, though; humans can be ruthless and disregard even the bonds of kinship!

"Ok?"

Zhao Xuanzhen paused for half a second, then nodded in deep agreement, deciding in his heart to change the name of the Spirit Pagoda in the future.

"A major event has recently occurred in the ocean: the Ice Dragon Emperor of the Azure Sea has broken through the six hundred thousand-year tribulation. His beloved kin were brutally murdered by humans, and in his rage, he gathered a large number of sea spirit beasts to wreak havoc on the seas. The one hundred thousand-year-old demonic soul great white shark from yesterday was one of the Ice Dragon Emperor's powerful subordinates!"

"Um……"

After remaining silent for a long time, Zhao Xuanzhen seriously suspected that Lan Fuzi was pretending to be innocent and ignorant, while secretly targeting him.

The military dispatches consist of twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my grandfather; every single matter and every single one is inextricably linked to him!
