"Don't panic. These are just adult orcas leading their young on a hunt! Look, the leading Evil Spirit Orca is only twenty or thirty thousand years old. The rest are no threat!"
Shui Wuyue hadn't expected them to encounter a pod of Evil Spirit Orcas as soon as they entered the deep-sea region.
But as a woman of broad experience, she quickly calmed down.
At her words, Yang Tianyu realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Son, your First and Second Soul Rings are taken care of. These Evil Spirit Orcas have devouring attributes, and they're among the best of the Sea Spirit Beasts! If you use them for your Soul Rings, you'll definitely gain powerful Soul Skills!"
Yang Ziyuan's eyes lit up.
"Dad, do you have a way to hunt them?"
"Ziyuan, watch your grandma work her magic!"
Before Yang Tianyu could respond, Shui Wuyue spoke up.
Right after that, the purple Soul Ring around Shui Wuyue flashed sharply.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Ice Seal for a Thousand Miles!"
As Shui Wuyue let out a low cry, a vast chill spread through the air and surged in every direction.
"Crack, crack, crack!!!"
In an instant, the sea's surface froze over.
The pod of Evil Spirit Orcas beneath the water hadn't even reacted before the ice trapped them.
Yang Ziyuan couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.
He hadn't expected his seemingly harmless grandma to freeze Evil Spirit Orcas tens of thousands of years old in the blink of an eye!
Looks like a Soul Douluo's strength was no joke!
Seeing that she'd accomplished her goal, Shui Wuyue's lips curled slightly, a satisfied look on her face.
"Okay, hurry and have your dad pick out two suitable ones for you. My Fourth Soul Skill won't keep them trapped for long!"
Yang Tianyu didn't hesitate. He summoned his Long Spear Martial Soul and jumped off the boat.
Before long, he returned with two Evil Spirit Orcas frozen inside blocks of ice.
Shui Wuyue's brow furrowed at the sight.
"Tianyu, did you catch the wrong ones? These two Evil Spirit Orcas are clearly older than 764 years. How is Ziyuan supposed to absorb their Soul Rings?"
"Mom, this is what Ziyuan asked for before we came. As for why he wanted them, I'll explain once we've left."
Shui Wuyue thought it over, then decided they should head back first.
After all, the Evil Spirit Orcas were one of the three great overlords of the ocean. If they realized that someone was hunting their kin, things would get complicated.
"All right. We'll talk when we get back!"
"Whoosh!"
Meanwhile, the twenty- or thirty-thousand-year-old Evil Spirit Orca finally broke free.
When he discovered that his kin had been taken, an enraged roar rolled across the sea.
The Yang Family.
As soon as Yang Ziyuan and the others returned, they went straight to the underground chamber.
"Ziyuan, explain to your grandma why you chose such high-year Soul Beasts. Do you know that even when choosing a Second Soul Ring, the limit the human body can withstand is only 764 years? Exceed that, and at best your meridians will rupture; at worst, your body will explode! And that's not even mentioning the First Soul Ring!"
The more Shui Wuyue thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned to Yang Tianyu and continued.
"Ziyuan is young and doesn't know any better, so I won't blame him. But don't you, as his father, even know such a simple fact?"
Yang Tianyu awkwardly scratched his head, looking helpless.
Seeing this, Yang Ziyuan smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Grandma, don't worry! I have a good reason for doing this. If you don't believe me, you can check how strong my body is now!"
At that, Shui Wuyue examined Yang Ziyuan's physical condition, still uncertain.
"W-what's going on?"
When she'd just checked his body with Soul Power, she'd discovered that his physical strength was already no weaker than that of a two-ring Soul Grandmaster!
"Ziyuan, tell Grandma how you did it."
"It's all thanks to my Martial Soul! When I realized it had a powerful devouring ability, I experimented with medicinal herbs. I found that after my Martial Soul devoured the herbs, both my physical strength and mental power improved greatly. So, with Dad's help, I became what I am now!"
"That's possible?"
Shui Wuyue was stunned by Yang Ziyuan's explanation.
She'd never seen a Martial Soul capable of anything like that.
Seeing that Shui Wuyue had no more questions, Yang Ziyuan continued, "Grandma, can I absorb their Soul Rings now?"
At this, Shui Wuyue nodded reluctantly.
At the same time, she grew even more determined to recruit Yang Ziyuan into Tianshui School!
Otherwise, if the little guy joined another academy, it would be a devastating blow to Skywater Academy!
Looking at the Evil Spirit Orcas frozen inside the ice, Yang Ziyuan turned to Yang Tianyu.
"Dad, give me a hand, would you?"
Yang Tianyu smiled, walked up to one of the Evil Spirit Orcas, and punched it.
"Son, don't be afraid. Hurry and kill it. Remember, only the one who kills a Soul Beast can absorb its Soul Ring!"
Seeing that the Evil Spirit Orca was about to die, Yang Tianyu quickly turned and called out to Yang Ziyuan.
Yang Ziyuan didn't dare delay. He hurried forward.
Then he took out a dagger and drove it hard into the Evil Spirit Orca's eye.
As the dagger sank in, the Evil Spirit Orca let out a scream, then died for good!
Yang Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.
Right after, a yellow Soul Ring quickly coalesced above the Evil Spirit Orca's corpse.
Yang Ziyuan hurriedly sat cross-legged and used his Soul Power to draw it toward himself.
Seeing that Yang Ziyuan had begun absorbing the Soul Ring, Yang Tianyu and Shui Wuyue couldn't help worrying.
Although Yang Ziyuan's body was strong enough, the pain of absorbing a Soul Ring that exceeded the limit was beyond what ordinary people could endure.
The kind of pain that tore through your heart and lungs was probably worse than being cut a thousand times.
And this was only the beginning.
Absorbing a Soul Ring took a long time, and Yang Ziyuan had to remain conscious throughout.
Otherwise, the absorption would fail!
"I wonder if our son can make it?"
"Tianyu, don't worry. Ziyuan wouldn't have done this if he weren't sure. Let's wait patiently!"
"Mm!"
Time passed, second by second. Before long, half an hour had gone by.
Yang Ziyuan remained seated cross-legged, eyes closed, without moving.
Yang Tianyu and Shui Wuyue anxiously kept watch nearby.
At last, after a few more minutes, Yang Ziyuan slowly opened his eyes, a brilliant smile on his face.
"Son, did you succeed?"
Yang Ziyuan nodded.
"Not only that, my Innate Domain has advanced, too!"

"Your domain advanced?"
"Quick, tell us what changed about your domain."
Seeing Yang Ziyuan so excited, Shui Wuyue was curious, too.
"With this advancement, my domain gained a boost effect. Anyone inside my domain automatically loses 10% of their Soul Power, and my Black Hole Martial Soul absorbs the Soul Power they lose. If I run out of Soul Power, I can absorb theirs and use it for myself! And the most important thing is that there's no limit to how often this can trigger!"
"No limit? So if someone keeps entering your domain over and over, you could drain all their Soul Power?"
"That's right!"
Hearing his confirmation, Shui Wuyue's expression changed slightly.
Who would dare fight him after this?
That little guy's domain was far too broken!
Still, it was a shame he couldn't reveal this ability.
