After a while.
The violent red soul power fluctuations around Kong Yan finally began to subside, gradually receding into his body.
"Buzz—"
A clear, resonant buzzing sound echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
Kong Yan slowly opened her eyes, and in that instant, her eyes seemed to transform into two miniature, radiant moons, dazzling and captivating.
At the feet of Kong Yan.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red—nine soul rings intertwined and shone brightly.
In particular, the ninth, blood-red, 100,000-year soul ring exuded a terrifying aura that was suffocating.
Title Douluo!
Moreover, it's not as simple as just reaching level 90.
With the help of the 100,000-year soul ring, an unimaginable amount of soul power surged forth.
Kong Yan's soul power surged forward like a whirlwind, directly crossing the threshold of level ninety-one and firmly stopping at the peak of level ninety-one!
"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Madam!"
On the surrounding escort ships, countless elite soul masters from the Great Sun Royal Palace shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
Xu Yu's face was full of smiles. He was about to step forward to congratulate her when he saw that Kong Yan did not get up. Instead, her gaze fell on the huge corpse beneath her.
Within the tattered body of the Demon Orca King, a glittering red light was slowly gathering.
Finally, a leg bone, entirely crimson and radiating a distorted glow, floated out.
That is—the left leg bone of a 100,000-year-old demonic orca!
"Since it's a set, let's take it all."
Kong Yan smiled slightly, and with a gentle wave of her jade hand, the soul bone was drawn to her and instantly adhered to her slender left leg.
Another massive surge of energy flowed into his body.
The soul power, which had been stagnant at the peak of level ninety-one, launched another charge under the impetus of this new power.
"boom!"
It was as if some kind of constraint had been broken.
Kong Yan's aura surged once again, and an even more vast pressure swept across the entire area.
Level 92!
With just one hunt, Kong Yan jumped from a level 90 quasi-title Douluo to a level 92 titled Douluo!
If word got out that such a rapid rate of improvement was to spread, it would probably drive the entire Soul Master world of Douluo Continent into a frenzy.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Xu Yu couldn't help but say "good" three times in a row, his eyes filled with pride and doting affection:
"Before even reaching our destination, we've already slain a 100,000-year-old ferocious beast, and the lady has even broken through several levels—this is an incredibly auspicious sign!"
The entire fleet was immersed in an atmosphere of joy.
A level 92 titled Douluo, plus a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, and the assistance of a soul tool.
Kong Yan's current combat power is probably comparable to that of an ordinary level 95 Super Douluo on the Douluo Continent!
The power of the Great Sun Royal Palace has surged once again!
Kong Yan then gave himself a title based on his martial spirit:
"moon!"
Simple and straightforward.
Xu Yu seemed to be deep in thought.
'Anyway, once I'm in Douluo Continent, I probably won't return to the Empire for the rest of my life.'
'This title should perhaps be changed to "The Sun."'
'It's simpler, more imposing, and matches Yan'er's moon perfectly.'
Kong Yan slowly stood up, looked at Xu Yu and Xu Zhao, her eyes gleaming with eager anticipation:
"Brother Yu, Zhao'er."
These 100,000-year-old soul rings and soul bones have granted me a total of four soul skills.
I could sense that these four skills were incredibly powerful, even possessing the destructive attributes unique to the Demon Orca race.
only..."
Kong Yan looked around at the empty sea and shook her head with some regret:
"Those Demon Soul Great White Sharks ran too fast just now, and now there isn't a decent opponent on this sea."
He possessed immense strength, yet didn't know who to challenge him to a duel.
Bombarding the sea with a soul-guided cannon is a way to vent one's frustration, but to test the accuracy and power of a soul skill, a sufficiently sturdy "target" is still needed.
Just as Kong Yan was feeling regretful.
A painful groan suddenly came from a corner of the deck.
"Well..."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
The Sea Dragon Douluo, who had been healed by Lan Ya and had his soul power sealed by Xu Zhao, was now slowly waking up.
He opened his eyes groggily, his mind still a little foggy.
What catches the eye is the blinding sunlight, and...
A pair of eyes filled with amusement and "surprise".
Sea Dragon Douluo struggled to sit up, but found his whole body sore and weak.
The soul power within his body was tightly locked by a golden shackle, making it impossible to mobilize even a fraction of it.
"Where...am I...?"
Sea Dragon Douluo muttered to himself unconsciously, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.
When he saw the enormous corpse of the demonic orca king floating on the sea not far away, his pupils contracted sharply, and he instantly became much more alert.
That's... the Demon Orca King?!
Dead?!
Immediately afterwards, he sensed the fluctuations of Kong Yan's 100,000-year-old soul power, which had not yet been fully contained and carried a strong bloody smell.
As the leader of the Seven Pillars of Poseidon Island, he naturally understood what this meant.
Someone killed the Demon Orca King and absorbed its spirit ring!
"woke up?"
A warm yet slightly chilly voice sounded above his head.
Hailong Douluo struggled to raise his head, meeting Xu Zhao's seemingly amused eyes.
Xu Zhao looked down at the once arrogant Title Douluo, a playful smile curving his lips. He turned to Kong Yan and said:
"Mother, aren't you worried about not having any targets to practice your moves on?"
"Look, isn't there one right here?"
Upon hearing this, Hailong Douluo's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
A trial recruitment?!
Using him, a wounded soldier whose soul power was sealed and who was just recovering from serious injuries, as a test subject?!
And he even used a 100,000-year-old soul skill as a test move?!
"You...you all..."
Sea Dragon Douluo's face was deathly pale, his lips trembling, as he wanted to angrily denounce the shamelessness of these people.
But he found that he barely had the strength to speak.
Upon hearing this, Kong Yan's beautiful eyes lit up. Her gaze fell on the Sea Dragon Douluo, and after looking him up and down, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Zhao'er is right."
The Sea Dragon Douluo is tough and has a physique at the Title Douluo level. Although his soul power is sealed, his ability to withstand blows should still be intact.
It's absolutely perfect for testing the power of skills.
As she spoke, Kong Yan slowly raised her right hand.
The blood-red ninth spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up!
The terrifying energy fluctuations instantly locked onto the Sea Dragon Douluo on the ground.
"No...don't..."
Sea Dragon Douluo stared at the lit 100,000-year spirit ring, his eyes filled with despair and terror.
He, the dignified successor of the High Priest of Poseidon Island and the head of the Seven Pillars, has actually been reduced to being a human target?!
This is even more painful than killing him!
However, Xu Zhao completely ignored his protest and simply smiled and gestured for him to proceed.
"Mother, please do your best."
Aunt Lan is right there waiting. As long as she's not completely destroyed, she can be saved.
Let's... try it slowly.
Sea Dragon Douluo closed his eyes tightly, his body trembling slightly from extreme fear and humiliation.
Waiting for death, or rather, waiting to be treated as a plaything and wantonly ravaged, every second was stretched infinitely, as if an entire century had passed.
However, the earth-shattering roar he had expected did not explode on him, nor did the excruciating pain that tore his soul apart come.
All that could be heard was the howling sea wind and... the crashing sound of waves being forcibly torn apart by the giant ship.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Sea Dragon Douluo tentatively opened his eyes a crack.
Xu Zhao, Kong Yan, and the others who had been surrounding him had already dispersed and were busy with their own things.
Kong Yan was standing at the bow of the ship, talking quietly with Xu Yu.
It seems that the previous remark, "Let's test our skills on him," was just a casual joke.
Or perhaps it was simply to scare him and shatter his last shred of dignity as the guardian of the sacred pillar of Poseidon Island.
"call..."
Hailong Douluo exhaled a heavy breath, his clothes already soaked with cold sweat.
He escaped with his life.
Only then did he realize that the massive steel ship he was on was hurtling across the sea at a speed that left him speechless.
The scenery on both sides rushed past, and the huge bow of the ship cleaved through the waves, like a steel behemoth rampaging through the deep sea.
Inside the cockpit.
Following Xu Zhao's instructions, Purple Pearl was guiding this invincible fleet, adjusting its course.
They sped off towards the southern part of Douluo Continent, which is the coastline of the Star Luo Empire.
