Rainbow's First Appearance, Gu Yuena's Stirring!

Gu Yuena suppressed the doubts and that indescribable, lingering bitterness in her heart, deciding to continue watching.

She wanted to see just how many more of that man's unknown secrets this Sky Screen would expose.

On the ground, Xiong Jun's massive body twisted restlessly.

He raised his mutated Behemoth left claw and slammed it heavily into a small hill nearby.

With a thunderous boom, the entire hill was instantly pulverized into a cloud of dust.

Xiong Jun threw his head back and bellowed at the top of his lungs.

"What an absolute joke! A mere fish hiding in the water blowing bubbles dares to rank ahead of this King?"

"This King can tear through the void with a single swipe of my claw now; what is that pathetic Great White Shark supposed to be!"

"If I ever run into it, I'll drag it out and mince it into fish paste!"

He was ten thousand times unconvinced by this ranking, feeling that his peerless divine might had been gravely insulted.

Sea God Island, in front of the Sea God Hall.

Bo Saixi held the Sea God Scepter, her usually elegant and noble face now deathly pale.

She stared at the image on the firmament, her hands trembling uncontrollably, causing the scepter that symbolized supreme power to emit a low hum.

The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo standing around her all wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

The entire upper echelon of Sea God Island fell into a deathly silence at this moment.

Demon Soul Great White Shark!

This name was an absolute taboo on Sea God Island.

The outside world had no idea that Sea God Island had been maintaining a massive lie for generations.

Back then, in order to ascend to godhood, the Sea God had deliberately kept a group of ferocious soul beasts in the deep sea.

He secretly drove these soul beasts to attack coastal civilians, creating one horrific disaster after another.

When the people fell into despair, the Sea God would descend in the guise of a savior.

He would drive away these soul beasts and quell the disasters, thereby naturally harvesting the faith of those people.

This was the oldest tradition of Sea God Island and the filthy method by which the Sea God condensed his godhead.

And that Demon Soul Great White Shark was originally one of the tools kept by Sea God Island to attack the people.

Yet for some reason, the creature had broken free from the soul imprint set by the Sea God one day and vanished without a trace.

Not only that, but later, even the Sea God's most prized pet, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King that dominated the seas, had died mysteriously in those waters.

This incident became the greatest stain in the history of Sea God Island, and the information was sealed away.

Sea Horse Douluo gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and lowered his voice.

"High Priestess, how... how is this possible? Xiao Bai is not only alive, but has grown to such a terrifying degree."

"If it reveals what happened back then and lets the world know that Lord Sea God's miracles were all orchestrated by us, the foundation of our faith on Sea God Island will be destroyed!"

Bo Saixi took a deep breath, forcibly steadying her emotions, but the chilling murderous intent in her eyes could not be concealed.

"To be able to break Lord Sea God's imprint and kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, there must be an expert helping it from behind the scenes."

"No matter who they are, daring to ruin Lord Sea God's plans is seeking death!"

"Pass the order down: the entire island is on high alert. I want to see exactly who is pulling the strings and daring to oppose Lord Sea God!"

Beside the Pool of Life at Rainbow Academy.

Long Yun crouched down, holding a crystal radiating rich spiritual energy, and tossed it into Xiao Bai's wide-open, bloodthirsty maw.

Xiao Bai wagged its tail happily, splashing large, crystalline sprays of water in the pool that soaked the surrounding banks.

Looking at this pet now exposed by the Sky Screen, Long Yun's thoughts drifted far away.

That was many years ago.

Back then, in order to ascend to godhood, the Sea God had acted recklessly along the coast of the Douluo Continent.

That method of trading innocent lives for faith was disgusting to the extreme.

Long Yun happened to be passing through the sea area at the time and, unable to stomach the bastard's behavior, crossed the void to confront him.

In front of countless sea soul beasts, he grabbed the Sea God by the collar and pinned him to the seabed, giving him a brutal beating.

That thrashing left the Sea God black and blue, and his unformed godhead was nearly shattered by a single punch from Long Yun.

He had assumed the guy would learn his lesson, but the Sea God was incorrigible.

After his wounds healed, he ran off to even more remote islands, continuing to harvest faith through those filthy means.

When Long Yun found out, his true fury was ignited.

He found the Sea God a second time and, in front of the Sea God's fanatical believers, ground him under his foot once more.

That time left the Sea God with an indelible psychological trauma, scaring him like a stray dog into hiding on a remote island, never daring to come out and cause trouble again.

It was also during that time that Long Yun casually erased the imprint the Sea God had left in the depths of Xiao Bai's soul, took the poor shark as a pet, and tossed it into the Pool of Life to raise.

Long Yun stroked his chin, watching Xiao Bai eat with gusto, and let out a soft sigh.

"I really should have dismantled his godhood."

Just then, the light screen above the firmament changed once again.

Golden characters, like burning flames, exploded in mid-air, occupying half the sky.

[Ninth Place Achievement Revealed: Support in the slaying of a million-year soul beast, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!]

The moment this line of text appeared, the entire Douluo Continent fell into a deathly silence that lasted for half a minute.

Immediately after, the barrage at the edges of the Sky Screen began to scroll frantically like a bursting flood.

Every word was dominated by shock.

"What is going on? A million-year soul beast? Am I blind?"

"A million-year-level soul beast actually exists on the Douluo Continent! Isn't that just a myth used to scare children?"

"Good heavens, that's a million years! Even if a legendary god descended to the mortal realm, they might not be able to handle that, right?"

"So Xiao Bai has such a heaven-defying record; he even participated in slaying a million-year soul beast. No wonder he's qualified to be ranked ninth!"

"Xiong Jun should shut his mouth now. This guy is a ruthless character who has killed a million-year soul beast. What do you, a black bear who struggles against hundred-thousand-year ones, have to compare with him?"

Soul masters and soul beasts across the entire continent held their breath, staring at the Sky Screen, filled with anticipation for the upcoming footage.

They were desperate to see what that legendary million-year soul beast actually looked like.

A flash of golden light crossed the Sky Screen, and a realistic image slowly unfolded.

It was a pitch-black sea area shrouded in a violent storm.

Waves like inverted mountain peaks crashed against the sea one after another, emitting a deafening roar.

In the center of the frame, a much smaller Xiao Bai was darting through the seawater with all his might.

The Sky Screen thoughtfully provided a label on the side: at that time, Xiao Bai's aura indicated he was merely a hundred-thousand-year-level soul beast.
