Chapter 251: The Mighty Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan
After resting for a whole month in Seahorse City, the group had a rare month of relaxation. The following assessment tasks for Yang Xiong and his eight companions, as well as Tang San and his six companions, were different.
The fourth assessment for Yang Xiong's eight companions was the battle against the peak whale sharks, which meant assisting the Magic Soul Great White Shark Clan in killing most of the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan.
On the other hand, the assessment task for Tang San's six companions was to accompany the Magic Soul Great White Shark Clan on a long journey across the sea to defeat the Black Scale Merman Clan, who were a notorious threat in their region. The Merman Clan was also a very vicious soul beast species from the sea and was known for their deadly poison, causing havoc in their surrounding waters.
Both groups had similar assessment tasks: killing a specific number of soul beasts, but the exact number varied depending on the task.
Since many people needed soul rings, Yang Xiong's group had already gone out to sea under the arrangement of the Seahorse Douluo to acquire soul rings on a large scale for everyone.
In fact, considering the assessment situation, continuing with the test might even reward them with a divine soul ring.
However, due to Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu's low spirit power levels, which were only at level seventy, if they did not acquire soul rings, they would be unable to fight against Title Douluo-level Seven Sacred Pillars.
Moreover, with their martial souls and attributes, even the Evil Demon Killer Whale was not suitable as their soul ring. This was why Yang Xiong had planned to arrange a trip to sea early to acquire soul rings for them.
It took almost a whole month for the group to help Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu obtain suitable soul rings.
Among them, Huo Wu's soul ring was the most troublesome. In the ocean, there were almost no fire attribute soul beasts.
However, under the guidance of the Magic Soul Great White Shark and the Purple-robed Deacon from Seahorse City, the group arrived at an enormous island. This island had a diameter of about thirty kilometers and was home to a massive volcano. Inside the volcano, there were many fire attribute soul beasts.
This was an independent volcano in the deep sea. Due to occasional eruptions, there were no inhabitants, and the powerful fire attribute and extremely high temperatures prevented any Sea Soul Masters from entering. This led to a large population of fire attribute soul beasts in the area.
With the help of everyone, Huo Wu obtained a good soul ring, which was as high as seventy thousand years old. She had surpassed her level in soul ring absorption.
As for Shui Bing'er's soul ring, they had to travel around one thousand kilometers to the north of Sea God Island. There, large ice floes started to appear, the temperature dropped sharply, and numerous ice attribute soul beasts lived in the area.
Compared to Huo Wu's seventh soul ring, Shui Bing'er's was a bit lower in age but still reached sixty thousand years.
After absorbing their soul rings, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu's soul power increased significantly. Shui Bing'er reached level seventy-four, and Huo Wu reached level seventy-five. In terms of soul power level improvement, these two were the highest among everyone.
After all, when they first arrived at Sea God Island, both of them were just Soul Kings, and due to their unique martial souls, they benefitted more from the tidal body training compared to others.
Because of the tidal body training, their soul rings were absorbed beyond their age limits. If this continued, Huo Wu's eighth soul ring might even reach the one-hundred-thousand-year level. However, it was uncertain whether a divine soul ring would still be available by that time.
As for Ning Rongrong, Feng Xiaotian, and Oscar, they would first complete the fourth assessment. Some of the Evil Demon Killer Whales had very high ages. Although they did not reach the one-hundred-thousand-year level, they were still strong enough to serve as soul rings for the three of them. Furthermore, given their physical qualities, they might not even be able to absorb a one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Especially Ning Rongrong, whose Red Level Seven Test theoretically could grant her a divine soul ring. Their soul rings did not need to be rushed; it might be better to wait until all the assessments were completed.
Once Yang Xiong's group returned to Sea God Island, they went straight to find Xiao Bai and prepare for the fourth assessment.
Given the strength of Yang Xiong's group, even with another year of training, they might only improve by two levels in soul power, making it better to participate in the assessment now.
The group set up a huge barbecue near the beach, and the smell soon spread across the surrounding coastline. As expected, a giant Magic Soul Great White Shark quickly appeared from the sea and transformed into Xiao Bai.
Ning Rongrong touched Xiao Bai's fin and asked, "Xiao Bai, did you miss me?"
Xiao Bai proudly responded, "Rongrong, Xiao Bai is a special name from the Sea God. You should call me Xiao Bai Jie. Why are you looking for me?"
Ning Rongrong quickly replied, "Xiao Bai Jie, we want to take part in the fourth assessment. Isn't it your responsibility to help us?"
Xiao Bai's expression became very serious, even showing a hint of fear in her eyes. "Are you all prepared? The Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan is not so simple."
The group exchanged glances, and in the end, Ning Rongrong nodded. "We are ready. We can set off to deal with the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan anytime."
Xiao Bai shook her head. "The Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan is not easy to deal with. They are not as easy to talk to as our Magic Soul Great White Shark Clan. Each Evil Demon Killer Whale is extremely vicious, and they rampage through the seas without restraint. Very few soul beasts can threaten them."
As a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, Xiao Bai took them very seriously, and everyone's expression became serious as well.
Feng Xiaotian quickly spoke up, "Xiao Bai, just how strong are the Evil Demon Killer Whales? How many of them are there? This is crucial for our assessment tasks."
The assessment tasks for everyone were different, but the overall goal was to kill more than half of the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan. The specific number varied.
Yang Xiong's task was to kill fifteen adult Evil Demon Killer Whales.
Shui Bing'er's task was to kill ten adult Evil Demon Killer Whales. Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian had to kill eight adult Evil Demon Killer Whales. Qin Shuang and Yang Wei were to kill five adult Evil Demon Killer Whales, while Oscar and Ning Rongrong were tasked with assisting the team in completing their tasks and also killing two adult Evil Demon Killer Whales.
From the assessment tasks, it was clear that Sea God had taken everyone's situation into account, as well as their assessment levels and specific attributes. Even Oscar and Ning Rongrong had to kill some Evil Demon Killer Whales, likely because they had certain combat capabilities.
Xiao Bai yelled angrily, "All you think about is the assessment task. Don't you realize how terrifying the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan is? How brutal they are? This battle is far more difficult and dangerous than you imagine."
Ning Rongrong quickly responded, "Xiao Bai Jie, don't scare me like that. Just how strong are the Evil Demon Killer Whales?"
Xiao Bai gritted her teeth and said, "The Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan and our Magic Soul Great White Shark Clan are sworn enemies. We are two immortal and unrelenting races in the ocean."
"In our Sea Soul Beast world, soul beasts are ranked, with the top-tier ones being the Evil Demon Killer Whale, the Magic Soul Great White Shark, and the Deep Sea Magic Whale. These three species are at the top of the sea soul beast food chain, but there is still a certain gap between us."
"Among these, the Deep Sea Magic Whale is the strongest, but they are very rare. They usually live alone, like the Deep Sea Magic Whale King that Tang San and the others encountered. It is considered the strongest soul beast in the sea, but the Deep Sea Magic Whale King is too lazy and never leaves the Magic Whale Sea. It just opens its giant mouth waiting for food, causing little impact in other sea areas."
"On the other hand, the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan is completely different. They have a large number, around several hundred, and they are extremely bloodthirsty. Besides regular hunting, wherever they go, they massacre all the surrounding soul beasts. They are the most brutal hunters in the sea, and also the destroyers of the ocean."
"Every few decades or near a hundred years, our Magic Soul Great White Shark Clan will have a large-scale battle with the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan. Every time, our clan suffers heavy casualties. If we didn't live near Sea God Island, where the Evil Demon Killer Whales dare not come close, our Magic Soul Great White Shark Clan might have already fallen."
Hearing this, the group couldn't help but swallow. They had all seen the power of the Magic Soul Great White Sharks, with several hundred of them surrounding Sea God Island, and each of them was incredibly strong. How strong then would the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan, which was even stronger, be?
Feng Xiaotian said solemnly, "Xiao Bai, please tell us more about the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan. This way, we can take appropriate measures."
Xiao Bai said, "An adult Evil Demon Killer Whale is twenty to twenty-five meters long, extremely strong, and has sharp teeth. An adult can fight to a standstill with two Magic Soul Great White Sharks. Their individual strength is incredibly tough."
"The Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan has around three hundred members, almost the same number as our Magic Soul Great White Shark Clan. About two hundred of them are adults. Normally, the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan reaches the ten-thousand-year level when it becomes an adult. Except for the Magic Whale Sea and Sea God Island, they dare to invade anywhere, leaving behind death and destruction wherever they go."
"Within their clan, the Evil Demon Killer Whale King has already reached the hundred-thousand-year level, and its strength surpasses mine. Additionally, there are at least three Evil Demon Killer Whales at the eighty-thousand-year level, and more than ten over fifty thousand years."
The group swallowed again. A clan of soul beasts this strong, with such a large population, could probably sweep through the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
The hundred-thousand-year Evil Demon Killer Whale King was probably as powerful as the Tai Tan Giant Ape, comparable to a ninety-five-level Title Douluo.
The Evil Demon Killer Whales at the eighty-thousand-year level would likely have combat power equivalent to that of a Title Douluo, especially in the ocean, where they could move faster and more freely.
Given their strength, the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan could even rival a top-tier sect like the Three Great Sects, much like the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan from the past, whose combined strength might not even surpass the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan.
Feng Xiaotian sighed helplessly, "Xiao Bai, if that's the case, we'll have to face half of the Evil Demon Killer Whale Clan's attacks. This is assuming the Magic Soul Great White Shark Clan can still hold their ground."
Xiao Bai snorted, "Not only that. Our Magic Soul Great White Shark Clan has suffered consecutive defeats, and we have certain psychological scars. When the real battle begins, we might not have such strong combat power."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze to Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong had always been at odds with Xiao Bai, and it was usually Feng Xiaotian and Ning Rongrong who communicated with her. But when faced with difficulties, only Yang Xiong remained the pillar of support.
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking, "Big Brother, Oscar, Rongrong, based on your current physical qualities, do you have the confidence to absorb a one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring?"
