The Amusing Evil Demon Orca King!

With the target identified, the hunt began in earnest.

As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, dealing with a thousand-year Evil Demon Orca was child's play for Xiao Bai.

Like a phantom, she approached the 1,600-year-old Evil Demon Orca foraging in the Seaweed Forest without making a sound.

It wasn't until Xiao Bai's massive shadow completely engulfed it that the orca sensed the danger, letting out a terrified shriek as it turned to flee. But it was too late!

Xiao Bai didn't even bother with any powerful soul skills; she simply accelerated into a fierce charge, slamming her massive head into the creature's flank like a battering ram.

Simultaneously, her razor-sharp tail fin whipped out like lightning, striking the Evil Demon Orca squarely on the head.

"BOOM!"

The seawater surged violently. The poor thousand-year Evil Demon Orca couldn't even finish its death cry before those two heavy, powerful blows shattered its bones and pulverized its internal organs. It lost all ability to resist instantly, its massive body sinking limply toward the seabed with only a faint glimmer of life remaining.

"Divine Child, it is done," Xiao Bai's mental fluctuation echoed.

Seeing this, Li Qing did not hesitate for a second and immediately summoned the Mysterious Origin Water-Controlling Flag.

The flagpole turned hard and sharp in his grip; he aimed it at the orca's vitals and thrust it down with force!

Once the soul beast's life was extinguished, a deep purple soul ring slowly emerged from its corpse, radiating a dense thousand-year soul power fluctuation.

Li Qing sat cross-legged and began to guide the soul ring.

The process was not easy. The energy of a thousand-year soul ring rushed into his meridians like a galloping wild horse, and the lingering, ferocious soul of the Evil Demon Orca constantly battered his consciousness.

However, Li Qing kept his mind steady. The Mysterious Origin Water-Controlling Flag hovered above his head, casting a soft blue halo. The runes on the flag flowed, emitting the majesty of one who commands all waters, greatly suppressing and soothing the violent water-attribute energy within the soul ring. His body, tempered by Whale Glue, was also robust enough to withstand the impact.

Bo Saixi and Xiao Bai stood guard nearby, tense.

Bo Saixi gripped her scepter tightly, ready to intervene at any moment.

Yet, the worst-case scenario they had anticipated did not occur. Although Li Qing's small face occasionally showed signs of pain, his body trembled slightly, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead, his aura remained stable, and the absorption of soul power proceeded in an orderly fashion.

After about half a day, the soul power surging around Li Qing gradually calmed. The purple thousand-year soul ring settled firmly onto the Mysterious Origin Water-Controlling Flag, its light receding—a sign of successful absorption!

Li Qing opened his eyes, a flash of purple passing through his gaze. He felt the surging soul power within him and his newly acquired first soul skill, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Seeing this, both Bo Saixi and Xiao Bai felt a flicker of undisguised astonishment.

Even though they had been mentally prepared, witnessing a six-year-old child successfully absorb a thousand-year first ring—a sight that defied all common knowledge—still left them shaken.

Bo Saixi, in particular, took a long look at Li Qing, gaining a more intuitive understanding of the origin and potential of that "Mysterious Origin Water-Controlling Flag."

After a brief rest, Xiao Bai followed the same method and soon located the three-thousand-year-old Evil Demon Orca sentry.

The process of absorbing the second thousand-year soul ring was even more arduous than the first.

The three-thousand-year energy was far more vast, and the impact was much more violent.

Bo Saixi's heart was in her throat; the power of the Sea God was already gathering at her fingertips, ready to forcibly interrupt the absorption process at any time.

Xiao Bai also circled nervously around Li Qing, radiating her pressure to drive away other sea soul beasts that might be attracted by the energy fluctuations.

Just at this tense moment—

"ROAR—!!!"

A roar filled with rage and terrifying pressure exploded from the distance like a thunderclap!

The currents of the entire sea area were thrown into chaos, boiling!

In the deep sea not far away, a massive black shadow charged forward at an astonishing speed!

Wherever it passed, the seawater parted automatically, as if welcoming their king!

It was a giant Evil Demon Orca, a full size larger than Xiao Bai!

Its skin was a dark red, as if stained by blood, and its body was covered in hideous scars. Its eyes, like two giant red lanterns, radiated a cruel, bloodthirsty light!

The soul power fluctuation emanating from its body was as unfathomable as an abyss, reaching a terrifying fifteen thousand years of cultivation!

It was the patriarch of the Evil Demon Orca clan, one of the overlords of this sea area—the Evil Demon Orca King!

It had clearly been drawn by the energy fluctuations and the scent of blood released when its kin died.

When it saw that it was its old enemy, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiao Bai, and sensed the death of two of its kin nearby, rage instantly consumed its reason!

"Xiao Bai! You damned stupid shark! How dare you repeatedly kill my kin! Today, I will tear you to pieces!" The Evil Demon Orca King let out a deafening mental roar, its massive body erupting with a terrifying speed that belied its size.

It opened its maw, large enough to swallow a mountain, revealing interlocking teeth like guillotines, and charged at Xiao Bai with the momentum to destroy everything in its path!

Wherever it passed, the seawater was compressed to the limit, forming a terrifying vacuum shockwave!

Facing this furious, lethal strike from the Evil Demon Orca King, Xiao Bai made a move that the Orca King could not comprehend at all.

She did not dodge or evade, nor did she even take a defensive stance. She simply hovered in place, her giant blue eyes even holding a trace of... pity and mockery?

The Evil Demon Orca King paused for a moment, then grew even more enraged: Has this stupid shark been scared silly? How dare it show such contempt for this King!

However, just as it charged close enough to see the details on Xiao Bai's back, its scarlet giant eyes suddenly contracted, its pupils shrinking to the size of needle points!

It saw it!

On Xiao Bai's broad back, besides the human brat who was absorbing a soul ring and radiating the Sea God aura that it loathed, there stood a human woman in a long dress!

When it saw the woman's face and felt the terrifying aura emanating from her—an aura as deep as an abyss and as heavy as a prison, yet carrying a sacred majesty—the Evil Demon Orca King shuddered, and its charge came to an abrupt halt!

The immense inertia sent its colossal body sliding through the seawater for a distance, churning up countless undercurrents.

It recognized her!

The High Priestess of Sea God Island, the spokesperson for the Sea God in the mortal realm, the ninety-ninth-rank peerless Douluo—Bo Saixi!

A terrifying existence that even that madman, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, was unwilling to provoke lightly!

"It... it is you..." The Evil Demon Orca King's momentum withered in an instant. The rage and arrogance from moments ago vanished without a trace, replaced by deep apprehension and a hint of fear.

Its massive head instinctively shrank back, and its tone became stuttering: "High... High Priestess... why, why are you here..."
