He opened the battle with new Dragon Emperor Spear Art techniques, and his Starfall Silver Dragon attack struck as the whale king tried to evade.

• Lu Yuan unleashed his Five-Clawed Golden Dragon King Martial Soul, suppressing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s strength and intensifying the whale king’s greed to devour him.

• Lu Yuan revealed that the recipient was Bibi Dong and looked forward to her reaction when he brought her the soul ring.

He considered using Transformation Pills to help Soul Beasts grow stronger, but decided to make one only for Little Blue, then continued toward Sea God Island with both whales beside the ship.

• Lu Yuan recovered his Soul Power and used Pure Qi Divine Power to heal Little Blue, while keeping the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King under a controlling restriction.

• Ma Hongjun was thrown out of the Sea God's Light, and Lu Yuan sent him away while talking with Xiaobai and Little Blue.
