The others looked shocked at when they saw Mu Ye. He said in a deep voice, “A powerful oceanic soul beast has come to attack us. All of you, stay here and don’t move. These waters are very dangerous.”
Tang Wulin’s heart was struck with fear. If Teacher Mu Ye, who had a divine mecha and a cultivation base of rank-94 was this serious, the oceanic soul beast that they were facing this time was not an ordinary soul beast!
“Teacher, what is it?” Tang Wulin’s use of the term astonished the others, but this was obviously not a good time to inquire about it.
Mu Ye knitted his brows tightly. “Looks like a huge pack of Devilsoul Great White Sharks. A very huge pack of Devilsoul Great White Sharks. There’s a kingly figure that’s leading the pack with a cultivation base of a hundred thousand years. There are also other powerful oceanic soul beasts accompanying them.”
Tang Wulin’s heart stirred. He turned to look toward Mu Ye. The edge of Mu Ye’s lips twitched. He said nothing, but his expression had clearly told Tang Wulin that the arrival of these powerful oceanic soul beasts was related to the pack of Devilsoul Great White Sharks they had faced yesterday.
A light flashed on Mu Ye’s hands, and white ceramic jar appeared in one. “Eat this.”
Tang Wulin opened it, and a salty, fishy smell was blown in their faces. Inside the jar was a golden-colored, grease-like substance.
“This was…”
Mu Ye said, “Fish oil from the ten-thousand-year Devilsoul Great White Shark’s head. It’s highly nourishing.”
Tang Wulin coughed. He thought inwardly, ‘I can’t believe Teacher is still thinking about nourishment at a time like this, but I like it.’
He did not hold back. He raised his head and swallowed the deep-sea fish oil. In matters of its taste, it was nothing special. The smell of fish filled his nostrils. However, after it reached his throat, it immediately turned into a warm wave as it spread throughout his body. His brain was instantly clearer. It was a comforting feeling that he could not put into words.
Mu Ye spoke to himself, “I never thought that there would be such a pack of large and powerful soul beasts in the deep sea. They even look powerful and hardy. The one that shot water at us must be the Deepsea Devil Whale. Judging by the power of its attack, it must have a cultivation base of at least a hundred-thousand years already. Deepsea Devil Whale King and the Devilsoul Great White Shark King… this is an impressive line-up!”
Tang Wulin could almost be sure now that the oceanic soul beasts in front of their eyes were related to them. However, Mu Ye did not seem to be the least bit interested. He even seemed to take pleasure in their misfortune.
At that moment, numerous figures leaped into the sky from the two ocean liners and flew swiftly through the air.
Three people flew out from the ship that Tang Wulin and the others were on, and another two persons flew out from the other ship.
The five of them stood in midair. All of them gave off extremely strong auras. Among the five of them, the only person whom Tang Wulin recognized was none other than the Silver Moon Douluo, Elder Cai.
At this moment, an ice cold figure appeared in front of Tang Wulin’s balcony. It was Wu Zhangkong.
Wu Zhangkong had noticed Mu Ye immediately after he landed. His brows furrowed. “Who are you?”
Mu Ye pointed at his own clothes. “A chef.”
A cold gleam flashed across Wu Zhangkong’s eyes. The icy aura immediately enveloped Mu Ye’s body.
Mu Ye smiled drily. He did not release his aura. He let the icy coldness released by Wu Zhangkong cover him, but he acted as if nothing was happening. He was not affected in the least.
Wu Zhangkong’s gaze focused. Just when he was about to take another step forward to take action, Tang Wulin hastily said, “Teacher Wu, please don’t attack. He’s my teacher as well.”
Wu Zhangkong was momentarily stunned. He landed on the balcony. The balcony was not that big to begin with, and now that everyone was there, it felt a bit cramped.
He looked at Mu Ye, then at Tang Wulin. “Where’s Xu Xiaoyan?”
Tang Wulin said, “She must have gone to have her breakfast.”
Wu Zhangkong said in a deep voice, “Go get her and come back here. Things don’t look good. A large number of oceanic soul beasts have already surrounded our ship, and they’re not short on experts. In the middle of this ocean, the amplification of their strength will be very powerful.”
“I’ll go.” Yue Zhengyu offered his services. He turned around and dashed out of the room.
Just then, from far away on the sea, another giant water column was blasting toward their ship.
In midair, a red-haired elder grunted coldly. His body flashed and appeared in front of the water column. His right hand struck out against air. A ball of powerful red light flashed and collided with the water column.
The water column shattered. The red-haired elder grunted again and retreated with a flash.
At the same time, a thought that struck fear into all of them came from the depths of the ocean. “Humans, you’ve taken the liberty of passing over our domain and killed my kin. Surrender the murderer to me or else I’ll let all of you bury yourselves here.”
This was not a voice. It was sent telepathically. However, even all the people within the ship’s protective barrier could clearly hear what had been said.
An enormous figure slowly floated out of the ocean’s surface. Its silvery white back was like a small island. Its gigantic dorsal fin stood erect like the edge of a blade. It gave off a sharp chilliness. Not far away from it, another larger, dark purplish figure appeared. It looked to be at least hundreds of meters long.
When the two of them appeared, a powerful aura burst forth immediately. From the ocean, more and more terrifying creatures started floating up to the surface.
The bulk of those frightened beasts were Devilsoul Great White Sharks and Deep Sea Devil Whales. The combination of the two clans appeared to number in the thousands. A horrifying aura fell upon the ocean, and it was filled with oppression.
Elder Cai said in a deep voice, “We’re only passing through. We did not kill your clansmen. If you insist on not letting us pass, don’t blame us for not being merciful. Do you think that with only two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, you can stop us? Among us humans, we were never short of those that would want a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.”
After she said this, the aura of the Devilsoul Great White Shark King and the Deep Sea Devil Whale King immediately become roused.
The conflict between humans and soul beasts had long passed the point of reconciliation. The terrestrial soul beasts were virtually extinct. With the advancement of Spirit Pagoda’s techniques in creating spirit souls, the habitats of the soul beasts were compressed even further. Oceanic soul beasts also rarely had the courage to go near the shore. Only the deep sea could be seen as something of a paradise for oceanic soul beasts.
Shrek Academy has always been a supporter of peace between humans and soul beasts, but Elder Cai had a strong personality. When she was faced with a large number of soul beasts blocking her way, naturally, she would hold nothing back. Even if someone on the ship had killed a soul beast, it was impossible for her to make a concession.
“Roarrr!” a deep roar sounded. Shortly after, another thick water column shot forth and headed straight toward Elder Cai.
Elder Cai grunted coldly and pointed at the sky with her right hand. A strange phenomenon occurred. The entire sky darkened immediately, and a silver moon materialized out of thin air. The silvery white glow reached down from the sky and collided loudly with that huge water column, releasing a violent and loud roar.
The water column collapsed, but the silver moon did not budge from its position in the sky. A terrifying aura that seemed to have originated from the depths of hell burst forth from Elder Cai’s body.
Even the hearts of the human experts who hung in midair could not help but shudder, let alone the soul beasts in the deep sea.
A Hyper Douluo!
The aura emanating from Elder Cai’s body was clearly the aura of a Hyper Douluo! Moreover, she had not even utilized her own battle armor yet. No wonder she had so much confidence just now.
Soul rings appeared on Elder Cai’s body. Three purple, three black, and three red. The nine soul rings flickered.
The originally clear skies began to darken, but the silver moon increased in its brilliance. Elder Cai just hung there, she seemed to have naturally turned into the core of the heavens and earth.
When the members of the Star Luo Continent diplomatic corps saw this scene, they could not help but feel fear run down their spine. Was this the strength of an expert from the Douluo Continent’s Shrek Academy?
Shrek Academy was truly the gathering place of the greatest experts on the continents.
The Deep Sea Devil Whale King and the Devilsoul Great White Shark King seemed to have been silenced by Elder Cai’s display of strength. However, in the next moment, the purple colored ocean slowly turned a darker shade. In the middle of the ocean, whirlpools formed and quickly gathered together. They rolled toward the two ships.
Faced with Elder Cai’s threats, these powerful oceanic soul beasts chose to fight.
Elder Cai’s gaze focused. With a single stride into the air, she had already appeared above the Deep Sea Devil Whale King and the Devilsoul Great White Shark King. Under the illumination of the silver moon, glittering and translucent light spots appeared on her body.
The other four experts were also of the rank of Title Douluo or rank-3 battle armor master. They released their respective battle armors.
Elder Cai’s battle armor was absolutely breathtaking. Rays of dazzling silver light arced outward from her body. They turned into circles of silvery light arcs and merged silently with her body. Her battle armor did not seem to be thick or heavy. Every piece was full of surprisingly beautiful patterns. A pair of titanic silver wings spread open behind her. When a silver headband that resembled a royal tiara dropped down, Elder Cai suddenly showed an amazing change.
Her head of originally silver hair slowly turned green. Her wrinkled face regained its former tautness and instantly, she had transformed into a lady of incomparable beauty.
Her full set of silver battle armor was set nicely against her body, emanating a sense of perfection. Her armor-clad right hand held a staff, on top of which there was a silver disc engraved with magnificent patterns. The staff and the silver moon in the sky complemented each other.
