Coming to Blows

The royal fleet of the Star Luo Empire launched the first attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The cannons within the fleet let out deafening roars, firing a dense barrage of black shells toward Ye Ye, triggering his trypophobia.

These shells were all blocked by the energy shield of the Titan Battleship; some shattered instantly upon impact, while others simply splashed into the water.

Star Luo Empire personnel: "How is this possible!"

The people of Douluo Continent were unfamiliar with this type of shield. They assumed it was a soul skill or a barrier set up by a powerful soul master, but they could not believe that Ye Ye alone could withstand hundreds of cannonballs.

The Star Luo royalty was also furious: "Keep attacking! Sink him for me!"

Dozens of ships continued to emit thunderous roars, the cannon fire relentless, yet Ye Ye continued to sip his coffee in a leisurely manner.

The veins on the hand of the Star Luo royal family member were bulging, as he felt the dignity of his royal house had been insulted. He had always believed that their Star Luo Empire was the most powerful, that the Star Luo royalty was the most noble, and that everyone should respect them. He slammed his fist onto the table, shattering it instantly.

He was a prince of the Star Luo royal family, and his older brother was the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire; his soul power was naturally not low.

He was beside himself with rage: "Hurry up and kill him! I want you to kill him immediately!"

The Captain's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. If the Prince got angry and reported him to His Majesty upon returning, he would be finished: "Prince, I will definitely kill him!"

Ye Ye had also grown impatient and decided to end the battle. He had all the laser cannons on the Titan Battleship aim at every ship in the fleet.

Ye Ye gave the order to fire to the artificial intelligence, and the laser cannons unleashed beams of light that struck the ships, causing violent explosions.

Crew members: "Ah! Ah! Ah! Help! Stop shooting! We're going to die! It's going to break!"

In an instant, several ships began to sink.

Star Luo Prince: "What is going on!"

The Prince had not yet reacted to the events unfolding in this instant.

The Captain approached the Star Luo Prince and said: "My Lord, we are finished. Let's abandon ship, flee, and admit defeat."

The Star Luo Prince grabbed the Captain by the collar, hoisted him up, and shouted: "Flee? Impossible! Star Luo will not admit defeat! We will counterattack! Anyone who deserts in the face of battle will be executed by me!"

Just then, another laser struck his ship, tearing a massive hole in the hull after an explosion. The ship began to sink after violent rocking.

The Captain continued to urge the Star Luo Prince: "My Lord, surrender quickly! Otherwise, it will be too late!"

The Star Luo Prince hesitated for three seconds before saying: "Raise the white flag!"

He felt that hesitating for even one more second would be a sign of disrespect toward his own life.

A white flag was raised on the ship, and Ye Ye ceased his attack. The soldiers who had fallen into the water or were injured wailed in agony. Of the fleet that originally possessed dozens of ships, only five remained relatively intact; the others had either already sunk or were in the process of sinking.

The surface of the sea was littered with dense clusters of corpses, and the nearby seawater was dyed blood-red. This blood attracted sharks. Although most of the soldiers who had not fallen into the water possessed some level of cultivation, they were land-based soul masters; the sea was not a place where they excelled at fighting. Furthermore, among those sharks were some with high cultivation ages. The soldiers who failed to escape in time were torn apart and devoured by the sharks.

(The author has thought this through carefully. Some might say sharks aren't interested in human flesh and usually bite once and leave, but first of all, this is Douluo Continent; don't conflate it with reality.)

At this moment, the Captain also spoke up: "My friend, we didn't mean it. Could you spare our lives? We will reward you handsomely in the future."

Ye Ye hadn't wanted to fight in the first place, so he had no intention of wiping them out. He simply steered his ship forward, letting the other side understand that he was letting them go.

As Ye Ye's ship passed the flagship, the Star Luo Empire Prince stared at Ye Ye with bloodshot eyes. Filled with the fury of humiliation, his body trembled uncontrollably.

Star Luo Prince thought: Don't let me see you in the Star Luo Empire, or you're finished!

After Ye Ye had moved into the distance, the Captain hurriedly went up to help the Star Luo Prince up and asked: "Prince, are you alright?"

The Star Luo Prince slapped the Captain across the face and shouted angrily: "Alright? My foot! It's all your fault, you slave! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have suffered such humiliation! And these warships wouldn't have sunk either! Go explain it to His Majesty yourself!"

The Captain knew he would certainly die if he returned, so he decided to commit suicide. Because they, as Star Luo soldiers, would not yield; in this situation, he could only apologize with his death.

They in Star Luo had always had a rule: if Star Luo soldiers or royalty were defeated or surrendered, they had to apologize with their death. What? You ask why the Prince didn't commit suicide? Naturally, because he was afraid of dying.

The Captain said "I understand" to the Prince and then walked away.

By nightfall, the Captain took out a dagger and wiped it with a white cloth. He said once more: "Emperor, I am coming."

He then plunged the dagger into his abdomen, twisted it, and finally sliced his abdomen open from left to right, committing seppuku.

(I don't know how the author wrote this; Star Luo believes in the spirit of bushido, and these people insist on apologizing to the Emperor with their deaths.)

(This is also to prepare for the future flattening of the Star Luo Imperial Palace, so please look forward to it.)

Ye Ye, however, was completely unaware of everything that had happened here; he had already arrived at Sea God Island.

(The author really hasn't seen Sea God Island here, so it will definitely be somewhat different from the original work, but the author has searched for some information.)

Ye Ye saw the outline of Sea God Island, but just then, a voice reached him.

Xiao Bai: "Outsider, Sea God Island does not allow outsiders to enter! Leave at once!"

Ye Ye looked around, but he didn't see anyone!

Xiao Bai: "Human, what are you looking at? Leave here quickly, or I will attack you!"

This time, Ye Ye found the source of the voice; it was in the sea. Ye Ye looked into the water and saw a Demon Soul Great White Shark nearly ten meters long in the sea a few hundred meters from the Titan Battleship.

Ye Ye guessed who the other party was. She was the hundred-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark, Xiao Bai. She had always guarded Sea God Island, preventing outsiders from entering.

Ye Ye: "I want to enter Sea God Island!"

Xiao Bai: "Impossible! Leave here quickly, or I will attack!"

Ye Ye ignored her and directly ordered the Titan Battleship to continue moving forward.

Seeing that Ye Ye did not leave and instead charged toward her, Xiao Bai launched an attack: Demon Shark Collision.

However, when her head struck the Titan Battleship, the ship did not change in the slightest; it barely even swayed.

She herself felt a bit dizzy, and her head was even bruised red. Xiao Bai was greatly shocked. She knew the power of this attack well; any ship would have been shattered by her, but this time, she was the one who suffered damage, leaving her stunned.

At this moment, a person flew over from the direction of Sea God Island. In the blink of an eye, he arrived near the Titan Battleship and said, "My friend, we do not welcome outsiders on Sea God Island."

Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, scan this person."

[Ding! Scan successful:

1. Seahorse Douluo, level 92 Title Douluo.]

Ye Ye: So it's just little horse!

Unlike the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai, who was a bit of a ditz—all chest and no brains—Seahorse Douluo realized he could not discern Ye Ye's strength, which meant the opponent's power was definitely higher than his own. He did not attack directly but instead tried to persuade Ye Ye.

Ye Ye naturally had to go to Sea God Island; he still had to check in! So he did not back down: "I just want to visit Sea God Island for one day. Just one day, and I will leave after that."

Seahorse Douluo: "That is not something I can decide. If you continue like this, don't blame me for being impolite."

Ye Ye: "I must go in today!"

Seahorse Douluo: "Fine, then I won't be polite!"

With that, Seahorse Douluo released his martial soul and spirit rings, preparing to attack.

Ye Ye struck first. He released his true form, and since a beast spirit master who reaches the Spirit Saint realm can fully merge with their martial soul, Seahorse Douluo did not suspect anything.

The 100+ meter body of Godzilla appeared on the deck of the Titan Battleship. As Ye Ye watched Seahorse Douluo attack, he timed it perfectly and used Tail Whip to lash out at him. Godzilla's thick tail struck Seahorse Douluo like a leather whip. It was a pity that Seahorse Douluo was a man; if he were a woman, then his little whip would be—hehehe!

Ye Ye also began to look forward to seeing Bo Saixi. The descriptions of Bo Saixi's appearance in the original work were very beautiful, and he liked that kind of mature woman. Hehehe~ slurp! Ye Ye even wiped away some drool.

Ye Ye: How did I become like this? I am very pure. My goal is to check in, definitely not because of beauties.

Regaining his focus, Seahorse Douluo immediately released his martial soul true form and activated his defenses, but he was still swatted into the water by Ye Ye.

Ye Ye jumped into the water as well. Seahorse Douluo's head was still buzzing, but he quickly recovered. He felt a bit happy that Ye Ye had entered the sea, because the ocean was the paradise of sea spirit masters, and Ye Ye's martial soul was so large that it must be very clumsy.

But he was immediately proven wrong. Godzilla was not clumsy at all; he was even more agile than Seahorse Douluo, which left Seahorse Douluo greatly shocked: "Could it be that he is also a sea spirit master!"

Ye Ye did not give him much time to think and bit down on him directly. After releasing his martial soul true form, Seahorse Douluo had turned into a seahorse several dozen meters long, though this was no ordinary seahorse—it was the kind of seahorse from Wang Wei's poetry.

Ye Ye bit him, and Seahorse Douluo used his spirit power to protect his body. If he were actually bitten by Godzilla, he figured he would really be a goner.

Ye Ye carried him through the seabed for over a thousand meters before swimming toward the surface. Once they reached the surface, Ye Ye tossed him into the sky. Seahorse Douluo wobbled in the air for a while before finally stabilizing his body.

Seahorse Douluo was burning with rage. Just as he wanted to charge up and fight Ye Ye for three hundred rounds, he noticed a few more people had appeared beside him.

There were three women and five men; they were the other six guardians of Sea God Island, along with the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai, and finally, the high priest of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi.

It turned out they had arrived while Ye Ye and Seahorse Douluo were fighting, but they had wanted to observe Ye Ye's strength. They hadn't expected Ye Ye to defeat Seahorse Douluo so easily.

Seahorse Douluo: "Greetings, High Priest. This person is attempting to trespass on Sea God Island!"

Bo Saixi: "Oh~!"

Ye Ye: "Xiao Ai, buy me a Friendship from Nothing Card."

[Ding! Do you wish to spend 1000 points to purc~]

Ye Ye: "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up."

[Ding! Purchase successful!]

Ye Ye: "Use it on Bo Saixi!"

[Ding! Use successful!]

Bo Saixi had been somewhat angry, but suddenly her aura changed, becoming gentle.

Bo Saixi: "Brother Ye!"

Ye Ye: ...

The others: ...

Seahorse Douluo: ...?
