Nuke Fishing!

A middle-aged man in a white robe stepped onto the bow, seven soul rings—two yellow, three purple, and two black—pulsing around him.

An ice-blue sea turtle emerged behind him, waves of cold air radiating from its body and blowing toward the seawater.

The sea soul beasts beneath the surface were provoked, and soon, streaks of cyan wind blades shot up from the seabed, tearing gap after gap through the layer of ice covering the ocean's surface.

Bang, bang, bang!

Spirit Hall's personnel reacted extremely quickly. Everyone who had come had a wealth of experience at sea.

After that Soul Sage from moments ago, another five people made their moves, each with six soul rings circling them.

One Soul Sage and five Soul Emperors—this was the security force Spirit Hall immediately deployed whenever Jiang Yuan might encounter possible danger.

Behind them, even more powerful experts remained on guard at all times.

Very soon, perhaps unable to endure the cold any longer, fish shaped like arrowheads gathered together one after another, forming a huge long arrow. They leaped out from beneath the ice and rammed toward the middle of the ship beneath Jiang Yuan's feet.

They wanted to cut Jiang Yuan and the others in half at the waist.

Unfortunately, this group of soul beasts that had appeared were all at the hundred-year or thousand-year level. Not even the shadow of a ten-thousand-year one could be seen, so naturally, they were no match for Spirit Hall's soul masters.

The outcome of the battle went without saying. It could be called completely one-sided.

In less than ten minutes, the battle on the ice had already ended.

The people on the ship began getting off with practiced ease to sort through the gains from this battle. The entire process was smooth and flowing, as if they had rehearsed it many times before.

There was not the slightest pause.

With the danger resolved, the ship continued onward toward the Orca Sea Area.

"What a unique way of fighting. Among soul beasts of the same level, land soul beasts are no match for sea soul beasts at all when they're out on the ocean."

Jiang Yuan had watched the entire battle and could not help sighing in amazement.

"That is only natural. Even an extreme Douluo like the Grand Worship cannot completely cast aside the combat power boost brought by the environment."

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded, then warned Jiang Yuan.

"So, Jiang Yuan, you must never look down on any soul master in the future. Soul skills come in all kinds of strange forms. Even if someone is weaker than you, who's to say they don't have some bizarre soul skill? Be careful not to capsize in a gutter."

Jiang Yuan's martial soul was too powerful. It had both numerical advantages and powerful mechanics. Golden Crocodile Douluo was worried Jiang Yuan's path had been too smooth, giving rise to pride in his heart, so he never let go of any opportunity to teach him the way of caution.

"I understand, Second Worship."

How could Jiang Yuan not know the word "caution"? Even without Golden Crocodile Douluo teaching him, he was already an outstanding member of the cowardly cultivation school.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan seemed to have taken it in, Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in relief.

At that moment, Na'er, who was standing to the side, raised her little hand and said with a serious face.

"Na'er will remember it carefully too."

"Hahahaha..."

Looking at the adorable Na'er, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Jiang Yuan exchanged a glance, and both laughed happily.

"Second Worship, Your Highnesses, lunch is ready."

At that moment, a Spirit Hall guard came forward to remind them.

Jiang Yuan and the other two nodded, then went to the dining hall together to eat.

All three of them had powerful assault-type martial souls, and their energy consumption was also somewhat higher than ordinary people's.

Not to mention, there were also two big eaters, Jiang Yuan and Na'er, so the ship's logistical support was extremely ample as well.

Lunch at noon was mainly sea fish, and the largest dish among them was the swordfish with the highest age that had just been killed.

This swordfish was not ordinary silver; it had begun to shine with a golden light.

This was a swordfish that had started stepping into the ten-thousand-year realm.

When its entire body turned golden, it would mean that it had already transformed into a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

Unfortunately, before it could succeed, it smoothly entered Jiang Yuan and Na'er's stomachs.

Mm. Being able to enter the stomach of the co-lord of soul beasts meant this fish had not come into the world for nothing.

After eating their fill, Jiang Yuan and Na'er simply sparred for a bit to help digestion, then directly set up a parasol and sunbathed.

They had only been out at sea for half a day, but Jiang Yuan had already felt the boredom of sea travel.

All the way until the sun went down, nothing unexpected happened.

"Wooo—"

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuan woke to a rapid alarm.

"Attention, attention!"

"A large number of sea soul beasts have appeared ahead. All personnel, level-one alert."

When Jiang Yuan walked out of his room, he saw a huge sea turtle floating in the air. After activating Martial Soul True Body, the soul master's strength rose geometrically, and a terrifying chill instantly swept out. The seawater froze into solid ice in mere seconds.

Under the effect of that powerful cold, dozens of sea soul beasts were instantly sealed within the hard ice.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, rings of black-red light flared up and rapidly corroded the solid ice that had frozen the seawater. Amid a series of cracking sounds, the frozen sea soul beasts actually broke free at high speed.

"It's the Evil Orcas. The target has appeared."

"There are at least three Evil Orcas over ten thousand years old."

Used to dealing with matters at sea, Spirit Hall's Soul Sages quickly made their judgment.

Jiang Yuan also brought Na'er to Golden Crocodile Douluo's side at this moment. At a time like this, only staying beside him was the safest option.

"I didn't expect to run into Evil Orcas so soon. This is a little farther out than the position marked on the nautical chart," Golden Crocodile Douluo said calmly, his focus sharpening as he stood on guard.

"That means the Evil Orca clan's strength has increased again. Their territory has expanded even further," Jiang Yuan replied with a nod.

His gaze fell on the distant waters. There, more than twenty whale-type soul beasts had appeared. Their bodies were extremely thick and powerful; compared with the swordfish they had encountered yesterday, they were not even on the same level as a species.

The Evil Orcas were gray-black all over, with especially enormous heads. Whenever they occasionally opened their mouths, they revealed huge, terrifying teeth like blades and swords, while their dark-red eyes were filled with a savage aura.

These were the top predators of the sea. They lived in groups and were extremely bloodthirsty and murderous. Even when they did not need food, they would continue slaughtering, and any creature they encountered would be torn apart without mercy.

"This old man hasn't stretched his bones in a long time. Three ten-thousand-year Evil Orcas are barely enough for me to loosen up a little."

At this moment, facing these twenty-plus Evil Orcas, Spirit Hall's soul masters had fallen into a bitter struggle.

With top-tier soul beast bloodlines, combined with the home-field advantage of fighting on the ocean, the Evil Orcas, who were at a numerical disadvantage, had managed to offset that weakness.

After watching for a while, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke casually.

Jiang Yuan only felt his vision blur, and Golden Crocodile Douluo appeared above the battlefield.

He made no obvious movement. He merely raised a hand and pressed down. Vast soul power condensed into a gigantic crocodile claw, which slammed down viciously toward the Evil Orca group below.

Boom!!!

A violent roar rang out, startling both Jiang Yuan and Na'er.

Looking in the direction of the explosion, they saw one Evil Orca after another completely charred black, not moving in the slightest. Rings of yellow, purple, and black soul rings rose up one after another, announcing the loss of their lives.

This was the strongest nuclear weapon beneath a ninety-ninth-rank Peerless Douluo.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, at rank ninety-eight, had more than enough power to fight a hundred-thousand-year Evil Orca King, let alone a few ten-thousand-year Evil Orcas.

"Clean up the battlefield quickly, treat the wounded, and continue maintaining vigilance."

After doing all this, as if he had merely waved his hand in passing, Golden Crocodile Douluo put away the corpses of the three ten-thousand-year Evil Orcas, then calmly looked at the dumbstruck group below and gave his orders.

Only after Golden Crocodile Douluo returned to the ship did Spirit Hall's soul masters come back to their senses. Then, one by one, they shouted with fervent expressions.

"The Second Worship is invincible! Spirit Hall will be victorious forever!"

As members of Spirit Hall, this was their first time seeing one of the legendary Worships make a move.

That terrifying strength, like a natural disaster, directly conquered every single one of them.

At the same time, it gave them an unprecedented sense of security.

Even their movements as they cleaned up the battlefield became much faster.

Douluo Continent was a world where strength was supreme, and Golden Crocodile Douluo's power had clearly given them more than enough confidence.

The corpses of the huge Evil Orcas were dragged into the ship one by one to be dismantled.

Powerful sea soul beasts like Evil Orcas were treasures from head to toe. Their soul rings could not be used, but if the corpses were taken to the mainland and sold, they would still bring in a considerable income.

"Ten-thousand-year Whale Glue is extraordinary after all."

Inside the room, Golden Crocodile Douluo's sharp claws cut open the head of a ten-thousand-year Evil Orca. In an instant, a flash of golden light passed by, and a rich fragrance spread throughout the entire room.

Even though he had never consumed Whale Glue before, the perception of a Titled Douluo still allowed him to sense the powerful energy contained within it.

This was energy far beyond that of thousand-year Whale Glue.

"No, the energy in ten-thousand-year Whale Glue is too great. It isn't suitable for you two to eat at your current stage..."

After sighing in admiration, Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly came back to himself and spoke.

"Ah, mm—"

"Second Worship, what did you say?"

Jiang Yuan, who had his head lowered and was happily eating with Na'er, one bite from you and one bite from me, heard him and looked up at Golden Crocodile Douluo with a puzzled expression.
