Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, Giant Tooth Sharks

Whale rubber was a gelatinous substance produced in a whale's brain and had excellent restorative effects for Soul Masters.

It could strengthen the body, enhance the strength of muscles, bones, and meridians, and increase their endurance.

Simply put, eating more of it made it easier to absorb higher-year Soul Rings.

So far, he had encountered whale-type Soul Beasts three times. All had been at the ten-thousand-year level, and he had obtained three large pieces of ten-thousand-year whale rubber.

After consuming them, his physical strength had indeed improved. After taking all three pieces, it had increased by roughly one-fifth.

That was already a considerable increase. After all, his physical constitution far surpassed that of Soul Masters at the same level. With such a large foundation, further improvement was naturally more difficult.

Eating more whale rubber should make up for the physical improvement I missed out on when absorbing my third Soul Ring, Jing Chen thought happily.

He would be staying in the ocean for a long time, so he would surely encounter plenty of whale-type Soul Beasts. Whale rubber should not be in short supply from now on.

If he consumed such body-strengthening substances regularly, the benefits would certainly be enormous.

He even had his eyes on Hundred-Thousand-Year whale-type Soul Beasts. The effects of whale rubber from creatures of that level surely would not disappoint him.

After nearly ten hours of travel, Jing Chen arrived at the small island marked on the map.

The island was not large. He could see its farthest edges to either side at a glance, and it was covered in vegetation.

After landing on the island, Jing Chen took Yi Yi around for a while and familiarized himself with the surroundings.

We'll stay here for a few days. If there aren't any powerful Soul Beasts nearby, we'll move somewhere else, Jing Chen thought.

Their most important reason for coming to the sea was to find and kill powerful Soul Beasts, so naturally, they had to head wherever the most Soul Beasts gathered.

The sea maps he had bought contained several special markings, all of which indicated gathering places for powerful Soul Beast groups.

For instance, there was one Demon Whale Sea Domain in these northeastern waters, a place known as the ocean's greatest forbidden zone.

There were countless ocean Soul Beasts, spread widely throughout the seas. Including the Demon Whale Sea Domains already marked, there were four in total.

They were located in the deep sea west of the continent, the deep sea southwest of the continent, the deep sea southeast of the continent, and this northeastern region.

The famed Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had historically appeared in the deep sea west of the continent.

As for whether the other three Demon Whale Sea Domains contained beings like the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, no one knew.

Those sea regions were simply too dangerous. Ordinary people truly did not dare approach them, much less explore them.

Perhaps someone had explored them before, only to fail to leave alive.

At present, people's knowledge of those three Demon Whale Sea Domains was limited to their locations. Their actual conditions remained entirely unknown.

Jing Chen still had the Demon Whale Sea Domain on his mind, but he had no plans to go there yet.

They were gathering grounds for Deep Sea Demon Whales. Charging in recklessly would result in being surrounded and attacked.

With Yi Yi's current strength, she likely could not fight one against a hundred. It was better not to take such a risk for now.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale Sea Domain was not somewhere he could provoke yet, but the weaker Giant Tooth Shark Sea Domain was a good choice.

The Soul Beasts near this island were not actually weak. Most were between thirty thousand and fifty thousand years old.

However, Soul Beasts of that age still fell considerably short of Jing Chen's expectations.

Once he confirmed that there were no exceptionally powerful Soul Beasts here, Jing Chen took Yi Yi elsewhere.

After seven days of travel, Jing Chen and Yi Yi arrived at a new island. A hundred li west of it lay the Giant Tooth Shark Sea Domain.

This place did not disappoint Jing Chen. There truly were quite a few powerful Sea Soul Beasts here.

Especially within the Giant Tooth Shark Sea Domain, Yi Yi sensed several Hundred-Thousand-Year auras.

This discovery made Jing Chen even more certain that coming to the ocean to hunt Soul Beasts had been the right choice.

After all, it was difficult to find so many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts gathered together on land.

Although they had discovered numerous Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, Jing Chen did not have Yi Yi charge in and start killing. They needed to take it slowly.

Yi Yi could kill shark-type Soul Beasts easily, but they also had to consider their numbers.

If there were too many of them and they coordinated to pull Yi Yi off whichever shark she was clinging to, then her advantage of easily killing enemies through her size would disappear.

Hunting them one by one was the best choice. After deciding on this strategy, Jing Chen and Yi Yi began to act.

They went near the Giant Tooth Shark Sea Domain and used the blood of other Soul Beasts to lure Giant Tooth Sharks over.

Shark-type Soul Beasts were quite interested in blood, especially the blood of powerful Soul Beasts, which was highly tempting to them.

It would make them believe that their prey had been injured, presenting the perfect chance to take advantage of its weakness and devour it.

They would not easily pass up prey that was relatively easy to hunt.

Using Soul Beast blood to lure Sabertooth Mad Sharks proved quite effective. Less than twenty minutes after releasing it, they attracted a target.

Seeing that it was a Sabertooth Mad Shark, Jing Chen immediately had Yi Yi attack and begin the hunt.

The hunt was simple and brutal. Yi Yi's sharp tiger claws gripped the Sabertooth Mad Shark tightly as the Evil God Hook pierced its body and began draining it.

The loss of vitality and internal energy drove the Sabertooth Mad Shark into a frenzy. It struggled wildly, trying to throw Yi Yi off.

Yi Yi had used this method so many times that she was thoroughly familiar with it. There was no way she would let it succeed. She held on tightly and was not shaken off.

Just like that, this Sabertooth Mad Shark, nearly sixty thousand years old, was effortlessly killed by Yi Yi.

Throughout the entire process, the only thing she did was cling tightly to the Sabertooth Mad Shark and devour it. She did not use any extra attacks.

Though the battle was simple, it caused quite a commotion. The Sabertooth Mad Shark had struggled far too violently.

Two more Sabertooth Mad Sharks soon arrived. Seeing that two sharks had come, Jing Chen took Yi Yi into the Time and Space Divine Tower.

After killing that Sabertooth Mad Shark, they emerged onto the surface of the sea and observed silently.

Whenever Yi Yi sensed that only one Soul Beast was approaching, they would kill it. If several were coming, they would hide.

After entering the Time and Space Divine Tower, Jing Chen began conducting research rather than wasting the time spent hiding.

Once those Soul Beasts left, he and Yi Yi would come out, change locations, and continue using blood to lure Soul Beasts over.

They continued with the same strategy. If a single Soul Beast came, they killed it. If several came, they hid.

It was not that Yi Yi could not deal with multiple enemies, but such battles would be difficult, and injuries would be unavoidable.

There was also the possibility that she would lose. If that happened, their situation would become extremely dangerous.

In the ocean, they definitely could not outrun Sea Soul Beasts. Hiding in the Time and Space Divine Tower during battle was also too dangerous.

They could easily be caught in the Soul Beasts' indiscriminate attacks. If the Time and Space Divine Tower shattered, they would be finished.

It was precisely because he considered this risk that Jing Chen chose the safest method of hunting Soul Beasts.

Though it was less efficient, it was simple and safe, making it the most suitable plan for them.
