Evil Orca King
When Tang San and Ye Lingling walked out of the secret room side by side, the sun was already high in the sky.
They arrived at the courtyard and saw Shui Bing'er, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan each finding a place to cultivate.
Hearing the sound, the three of them opened their eyes and looked over at the same time.
Xiao Wu was the first to react.
"Third Brother!!"
Her voice was clear and loud, filled with an irrepressible surprise and excitement. She suddenly sprang up from the grass and threw herself into Tang San's arms.
Xiao Wu wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, buried her face in his chest, and pressed her whole body against him.
Her body was warm and soft, carrying that faint, floral scent that she had acquired after absorbing the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, a scent so familiar it brought a sense of peace.
Tang San smiled and tightened his arms, holding her firmly in his embrace.
Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan also gathered around.
Tang San smiled, stretched out his arm, and pulled Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan into his arms, holding them tightly against his chest.
Tang San's hands encircled their slender waists, and through their clothes, he could clearly feel the changes in their bodies.
The figures still retained their unique curves and suppleness, but the muscles beneath their clothes were noticeably firmer than a year ago.
He could feel the texture of the skin, honed by countless tidal surges, firm, even, and elastic; a gentle press revealed the explosive power beneath.
Their skin was also smoother, more delicate, and more textured than before, like jade that had been repeatedly washed and polished, with a warm and firm feel.
The effects of the Tidal Body Tempering are indeed quite good.
The group hugged for a while before reluctantly letting go of each other.
They sat down again around the stone table in the courtyard, Xiao Wu's eyes filled with curiosity. "Third Brother, Sister Lingling, what is the Six Lifetimes of Reincarnations like? Tell us about it!"
Ye Lingling smiled slightly and slowly began to recount her experiences of six reincarnations.
Her voice was soft and calm, but every detail was vividly portrayed as she recounted those scenes spanning hundreds of years.
After listening, Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with longing and envy.
Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness. "It's so wonderful... to be able to spend six lifetimes with Third Brother... I really want to try it too."
Ye Lingling smiled, turned her head to look at Tang San, her eyes reflecting his profile, and said softly and sincerely, "I'm very lucky to have experienced those lives with Third Brother."
Tang San cleared his throat, aptly changing the subject. "How's your year been? How far along are you in the assessment?"
Shui Bing'er gave a brief description of the year's assessment.
Tang San learned that the three of them had completed the Third Trial, "Tidal Body Tempering," six months ago.
Under such extreme torment, they were unable to calm their minds for regular meditation and cultivation, so their Soul Power did not increase much.
After a year of Tidal Body Tempering, only Shui Bing'er improved by one level, reaching level seventy-nine, while Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu's Soul Power did not show any significant improvement.
However, all three experienced a tremendous leap in physical and Spiritual Power.
Their bone density, muscle strength, and meridian resilience have all reached a new level, and their bodies have become more resilient and powerful through repeated tearing and reconstruction.
After completing the Third Trial, Shui Bing'er's Sea God Affinity increased by 15%, bringing her total affinity to 25%.
Dugu Yan received a first-level Soul Power reward, reaching level 86. Her Soul Ring age increased by 500 years, and her Soul Ring Configuration changed to four purple, three black, and one red.
Xiao Wu also received a first-level reward, reaching level 78, with her Soul Ring age increased by 500 years, and her Soul Ring Configuration changed to four purple and three black.
Six months have passed since I completed my Third Trial.
In the past six months, they have finally been able to focus on their cultivation. Shui Bing'er and Xiao Wu have each leveled up. Shui Bing'er is now level 80, and Xiao Wu is level 79.
Level 80.
Shui Bing'er is already standing on the threshold of Soul Douluo, and only needs a suitable Eighth Soul Ring to complete the breakthrough.
And now, she is only twenty-three years old.
Their next Fourth Trial one, is the 'Whale Shark Battle'. They need to assist the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan in eliminating the Evil Orca King's clan.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark is the guardian Soul Beast clan of Sea God Island, while the Evil Orca King clan is the Demon Soul Great White Shark's natural enemy and one of the overlords of the ocean.
When Tang San heard the name "Evil Orca King," his heart stirred slightly.
As expected, the Evil Orca King was the perfect target for Shui Bing'er's Eighth Soul Ring in his plan.
The Evil Orca King one of the top predators in the ocean, possessing the attributes of water, ice, and evil. Its strength and potential are among the best of all ocean Soul Beasts.
It also possesses an Innate Domain "Ice Seal Domain". (PS: Comic version)
This field can absorb heat from seawater, creating a large-scale Ice Seal effect over a range of several kilometers, and can even "crystallize" organisms, freezing them completely from the inside.
The Ice Seal Domain and the Ice Phoenix's extreme cold power complement each other perfectly, with their core attributes of "water" and "ice" overlapping seamlessly.
If Shui Bing'er can absorb the Evil Orca King's Soul Ring, she will not only obtain a powerful 100,000-year top-tier Soul Ring, but also greatly enhance her control over water and ice-type powers.
The Evil Orca King's Soul Rings usually grant two Soul Ring Skills: "Evil Spirit Orca Mirror Destruction" and "Evil Spirit Orca Demon Capture".
The former combines offense and defense, while the latter boasts top-tier crowd control; these two skills elevate Shui Bing'er's control and defense capabilities to new heights.
Soul Beast that is 100,000 years old will inevitably produce Soul Bone.
The Evil Orca King's Soul Bone Skills, "Orca Demon Axe" and "Orca Shattered Fang Slash," correspond to a powerful single-target attack and an area-of-effect attack, respectively, which can greatly compensate for the Ice Phoenix's weakness in absolute lethality.
Judging from the compatibility between the Soul Beast's attributes and the Soul Master's Martial Soul, the Evil Orca King is indeed a top choice for Shui Bing'er's Eighth Soul Ring.
Tang San's gaze swept over everyone as he spoke, "The previous assessments were all laying the foundation for us. In less than three years, everyone has made remarkable progress. However, Lingling and I need to return to the Douluo Continent for our Third Trial, so you all must speed up your progress from now on."
"I plan to return together after you've completed the first seven tests," Tang San said, standing up. "Therefore, let's not delay. Everyone, take three days to adjust and get into peak condition. We'll depart for the Demon Whale Sea in three days."
"Okay!" the three girls replied in unison.
Tang San's gaze swept across the four faces one by one, then he changed to a mischievous tone and smiled, "The most important thing right now is to clear out all the magazines that have accumulated over the past year."
The four girls were all stunned for a moment.
The Xiao Wu rabbit's ears stood straight up, its cheeks flushed pink, and its eyes were full of anticipation.
Shui Bing'er tried to remain calm, but the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her.
Dugu Yan was the boldest; she revealed a dangerous smile, as if in provocation. "It's still too early to say who will win or lose."
Tang San smiled very brightly.
He reached out and grabbed the wrists of Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan, who were closest to him, and led them towards the bedroom. Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling also got up and followed.
The bedroom door was closed gently.
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell onto the bed, casting a halo around several intertwined figures.
The physical enhancements brought about by the Tidal Body Tempering Refinement finally manifested themselves at this moment.
Shui Bing'er and the others had reached a new level of endurance and resilience, and even Tang San was starting to feel like he couldn't keep up.
The battle raged from noon until the moonlight climbed up the windowpanes, at which point the room gradually quieted down.
In the bedroom, clothes were scattered haphazardly on the carpet, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.
Tang San lay on his back on the bed, his chest rising and falling slightly.
Everyone exuded a sense of complete relaxation.
