Submission, or Destruction?

"Don't speak yet, it isn't your turn!"

Lin Yue glanced at the Evil Orca King and said indifferently.

His tone was filled with contempt.

Lin Yue had the capital to be this way; although his current strength was not enough to defeat the Evil Orca King, this was his sanctuary. Even if the Evil Orca King were stronger than him, it could not harm him.

What did he have to fear?

"Human, you are courting death!"

"ROAR--"

Hearing Lin Yue's words of such disdain, the Evil Orca King could no longer hold back. It let out an angry roar, swept its tail, and a massive Evil Spirit Orca Axe flew toward Lin Yue in the air.

"Master, be careful!"

Seeing this, Ah Yin, who was beside Lin Yue, exclaimed in alarm and instinctively tried to block the attack for him.

"No need to worry!"

However, Lin Yue reached out to stop Ah Yin, shielding her behind him as he faced the Evil Orca King's attack himself.

Furthermore, Lin Yue kept his hands behind his back and did not use any soul skills, choosing to meet the Evil Orca King's attack with his bare body.

"Courting death!"

Seeing Lin Yue ignore its attack like this, the Evil Orca King's eyes grew even colder.

"Watch out!"

Seeing Lin Yue's actions, Xiao Bai could not help but cry out.

BOOM--

However, the next second, all the soul beasts, including Ah Yin, were stunned.

Pfft~

The moment the Evil Orca King's attack landed on Lin Yue, it simply vanished, as if it had been absorbed by this world itself.

Lin Yue stood there quietly, not even a single strand of his hair having moved.

"How is this possible..."

The Evil Orca King was dumbfounded; it hadn't even seen how Lin Yue had neutralized its attack.

At this, the Evil Orca King did not dare to strike again.

Lin Yue's strength had made it truly wary.

Coupled with the fact that Ah Yin was beside him, if these two were to truly help the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, it would be the Evil Orca clan that was in danger.

"Human, do you need help?"

"If so, our Evil Orca clan can do it for you, as long as you do not interfere in the affairs between our two clans!"

The Evil Orca King transformed into a human male and stood on the surface of the sea, speaking to Lin Yue.

"I said, don't speak yet, it isn't your turn!"

Lin Yue emphasized his point to the Evil Orca King once more.

"..."

The Evil Orca King's face turned livid upon hearing this, but it forced itself to refrain from attacking again.

"Demon Soul Great White Shark King, do you want your clan to survive?"

Lin Yue ignored the Evil Orca King entirely and turned to ask Xiao Bai.

"Of course, my lord. Is there something you need me to do?"

Xiao Bai answered firmly, her tone extremely polite.

"It's simple: lead your clan and pledge your loyalty to me!"

Lin Yue said decisively.

"...My lord, our Demon Soul Great White Shark clan has been loyal to the Sea God for generations. It is impossible for us to acknowledge you as our master."

"Could you change to a different request?"

Xiao Bai's expression changed slightly upon hearing Lin Yue's words, and she answered with some difficulty.

"No, I will only give you three seconds to consider!"

"Three... two..."

How could Lin Yue possibly agree? He immediately began an indifferent countdown.

"I agree!"

Xiao Bai took a deep breath, and before Lin Yue could finish counting, she spoke with a sense of defeat.

She did not want to, but for the sake of her clan's survival, she had no choice but to agree.

"My kin, I hereby announce that from this day forth, the person before you is the master of our clan!"

Xiao Bai was quite decisive; once she had agreed, she turned around and announced this to the surviving members of her clan behind her.

[Ding~ Obtained the allegiance of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King. Domestication complete.]

As soon as Xiao Bai's voice fell, Lin Yue received the system notification.

It seemed that regardless of whether it was sincere or not, as long as a soul beast declared submission, the domestication was considered complete.

"Ooh--!"

"Ooh--!"

Upon hearing their King's announcement, the remaining Demon Soul Great White Sharks, though somewhat reluctant, still voiced their responses one after another.

[Ding~ Obtained the allegiance of a 50,000-year Demon Soul Great White Shark. Domestication complete.]

[Ding~ Obtained the allegiance of a 20,000-year Demon Soul Great White Shark. Domestication complete.]

[Ding~ Obtained a 10,000-year...]

A series of system prompts rang out in Lin Yue's mind; all the remaining Demon Soul Great White Sharks had been successfully domesticated after responding to Xiao Bai's declaration.

Swish~

After finishing her oath, Xiao Bai mimicked the Evil Orca King, leaping out of the sea and transforming into her human form to stand upon the surface.

"Master, may I beg you to help our clan take revenge?"

Xiao Bai knelt on one knee upon the sea, making her request to Lin Yue.

"That will depend on their choice!"

"Xiao Bai, you may step back for now!"

Lin Yue smiled upon hearing this, but he did not agree to her request, instead telling Xiao Bai to withdraw.

"Yes, Master!"

Although she was clearly unwilling, Xiao Bai still responded respectfully.

Lin Yue paid no further attention to Xiao Bai, instead turning his gaze toward the Evil Orca King and smiling faintly: "Evil Orca King, what do you think of Xiao Bai's proposal?"

"I think nothing of it!"

The Evil Orca King replied with an ugly expression.

Once he had spoken, he could not help but glare at Xiao Bai with contempt: "Your Demon Soul Great White Shark clan is truly a disgrace to the soul beast race. In the past, you threw yourselves at that fellow Poseidon, then you threw yourselves at Sea God Island, and now you have actually gone and found yourselves a new master! Can you not have any shame at all?"

He truly could not hold it back; how could there be such a spineless race of soul beasts?

"Hmph, we are all going to die anyway, so why bother with all that?"

"Humans aren't all bad; I believe Master is a good person!"

Xiao Bai was quite articulate in defending her choice.

Lin Yue waved his hand at Xiao Bai to quiet her, then looked at the Evil Orca King and continued: "If you don't want me to agree to Xiao Bai's request, that will depend on your own choice."

"You still want our clan's submission?"

Upon hearing this, the Evil Orca King's face turned deathly pale.

"That is correct!"

"I believe you can see the current situation; with the help of the two of us, your clan has no chance of winning!"

"I am giving you only two paths now: either submit, or perish!"

"There is no third option!"

Lin Yue's tone was indifferent, as if he were discussing something perfectly mundane.

In truth, if the Evil Orca King were to take his kin and flee right now, there would be nothing Lin Yue could do.

He possessed no soul skills, and Ah Yin specialized in healing with no offensive means, so they could not possibly hold back the Evil Orca clan.

He was simply gambling on the fact that the Evil Orca King did not know his true depth, bluffing the other party.

If he succeeded, it would naturally be a good thing.

If he failed, it did not matter; if he could not tame them now, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

The Evil Orca clan was effectively in his pot within this sanctuary; they could not run away.

"Haha, Xie Hu, if you have the guts, then don't agree!"

Xiao Bai, standing to the side, immediately mocked the Evil Orca King upon hearing her master's words.
