The Demon Whale Appears, Return to Spirit Hall!

"Gold! I got gold!"

Jiang Yuan set to work dismantling the corpses on the ground. When he reached a thirty-thousand-year Evil Orca, a heavy pressure of spirit power suddenly came over him.

Jiang Yuan immediately rubbed his hands together in excitement. This was the first spirit bone he had ever obtained.

"You brat, your luck's not bad. You actually ran into a spirit bone."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was slightly surprised as well. With a soft chuckle, he beckoned with his hand, and a pitch-black leg spirit bone rose from the Evil Orca's corpse.

Its deep black glow was restrained, but the powerful, violent energy fluctuations were enough to make anyone's heart tremble.

It was as if it were devouring all the light around it.

This leg bone still retained some fish-like traits, looking more like the tail of an orca.

"See? I told you I had good luck!" Jiang Yuan took the spirit bone with a grin and carefully turned it over in his hands.

This was the first spirit bone he had ever opened up. He had to properly commemorate it.

"A thirty-thousand-year Evil Orca left leg bone. Even a Titled Douluo would go crazy for it."

Spirit bones were rare treasures to begin with, and in this era of Douluo Continent, they were even scarcer.

As for a spirit bone that came from a ten-thousand-year Evil Orca, its quality went without saying.

Among ten-thousand-year spirit bones, it was definitely among the very top tier.

Evil Orcas were naturally immensely strong. Fusing with this spirit bone would not only grant a spirit master a powerful spirit skill, but also cause the strength of their leg to undergo a qualitative leap.

It was highly suited to strength-focused assault-type and defense-type spirit masters.

"Second Worship, this is your battle trophy."

After getting a good look at one of Douluo Continent's specialties, Jiang Yuan handed the spirit bone to Golden Crocodile Douluo and continued his great corpse-looting endeavor.

"Oh? You don't want it? This is a ten-thousand-year spirit bone. In the spirit master world, it's known as a Blood River Treasure."

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Jiang Yuan, who showed no reluctance at all, with some surprise and asked with interest.

"This spirit bone's age is too low. I don't want it. You can keep it and play with it yourself."

Jiang Yuan refused without even turning his head. The Evil Orca was indeed pretty good, but with his talent, putting together a full set of hundred-thousand-year spirit bones would not even be difficult.

A thirty-thousand-year spirit bone simply would not tempt him.

"You little brat!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo did not know whether to laugh or cry. If it had been him, before breaking through rank ninety, he would definitely have been tempted by a spirit bone like this. Yet Jiang Yuan actually looked down on it for being too young.

Still, he did not say much. If thirty thousand years was too low, then sixty thousand years, or a hundred thousand years!

Were there not hundred-thousand-year spirit beast kings living in Star Dou Forest? At worst, he would make a trip there when the time came.

He would make sure to put together a set of spirit bones that Jiang Yuan was satisfied with.

"Brother Jiang Yuan, do you like spirit bones?"

Jiang Yuan was digging for gold when Na'er came over and asked quietly.

His hands paused. Jiang Yuan turned to look at the thoughtful gaze in Na'er's eyes, and a strange idea suddenly rose in his heart.

Could I actually get the chance to put on a full set of Dragon King Spirit Bones someday?

"Who doesn't like spirit bones? But they have to suit you."

Jiang Yuan nodded and answered casually, then continued working with his hands.

Hearing this, Na'er nodded as if she had realized something.

After Jiang Yuan dug out another right leg bone from the body of a twenty-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark, Qian Daoliu finally walked in, looking somewhat disheveled.

"Great Worship!"

Seeing that Qian Daoliu was safe and sound, Golden Crocodile Douluo let out a breath in relief.

"Great Worship, take a look at what we gained this time."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu looked at the two spirit bones on the table, both giving off dense, powerful auras, and was somewhat surprised.

"Two ten-thousand-year spirit bones. Looks like your luck was quite good."

"Don't come to the ocean for the next few years. You've played enough outside this time. It's time to go back and cultivate properly."

Looking at Jiang Yuan, Qian Daoliu spoke with a stern face and a serious tone.

Jiang Yuan nodded. He had no objections. This time, he had obtained more than a dozen pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Glue. Perhaps before he even finished eating them, ten-thousand-year Whale Glue would already have lost its effect on him.

And since he could not get hundred-thousand-year Whale Glue, Jiang Yuan had no interest in coming to the ocean anymore.

In some unknown stretch of sea.

The waves surged, shimmering with rippling light.

But right in these waters, a massive shadow was slowly floating upward.

Its enormous size was enough to horrify anyone. Its head alone easily exceeded a hundred meters.

As the colossal creature continued to rise, its outline made it possible to tell that it was a whale.

An intense sense of oppression shrouded the sea for dozens of kilometers around.

Even the sky turned overcast, yet the terrifying fluctuations of energy dyed it blue.

Huge blood-red eyes opened and closed, so cold they seemed capable of suffocating a person.

A deep voice rang out, and the terrifying vibration sent the sea soul beasts within dozens of kilometers fleeing in all directions. Some of the weaker ones were even knocked unconscious on the spot.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King—the undisputed number one soul beast in the sea.

Ordinarily, it holed up in its own territory and slept, but the battle fluctuations between Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu were far too great. Even it, deep in slumber, had been awakened.

"That woman from Sea God Island is fighting who?"

"The aura is very familiar. That bright, sacred aura... I seem to have sensed it a hundred years ago."

"But what was with those two auras just now? Why did they make me feel the urge to submit? Does such an existence exist on the continent?"

A doubtful gleam appeared in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's icy eyes.

"No matter what, no one can stop me from transforming into a dragon. As long as I take that final step, Douluo Continent will revere me above all!"

Unable to figure it out, the doubt in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes gradually turned into resolve, and its terrifying will spread throughout this stretch of sea.

Huge waves rolled as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's enormous figure slowly vanished from the surface, diving once more into the deep sea.

Three days later.

Jiang Yuan had already returned to Spirit Hall.

Then he heard about the major thing Qian Xunji had done after he left.

He had encircled and hunted down Tang Hao, not only crippling him and forcing him to self-detonate three soul bones, but also making Tang San and Xiao Wu vanish straight from Notting Academy.

The plot had already deviated more and more absurdly.

Shaking his head, Jiang Yuan indicated that it was no big problem, then turned around and threw himself back into cultivation.

Once he grew strong, who cared about plot or not? He would just steamroll straight through.

Two and a half years passed quietly.

This year, Jiang Yuan was nine years old. His soul power had broken through to rank twenty-eight, and he had already fought his way through the Talent Training Camp of Spirit Hall without a single opponent.

Not only the Golden Generation, even the family juniors of several worship elders all followed Jiang Yuan's lead.

In terms of strength, never mind Jiang Yuan—even Jiang Yuan's number-one enforcer, Na'er, was more than they could handle.

In terms of background, Jiang Yuan and Na'er had not only been conferred as Spirit Hall's Holy Son and Holy Maiden.

The former had even been raised by Qian Renxue since childhood. They were just short of publicly saying he was her child groom, so there was no need to mention how close their relationship was. In Spirit Hall, who could have a stronger background than him?

The latter was also the darling of several worship elders.

They could not beat them in strength, and their backing was not as solid either.

So Jiang Yuan and Na'er naturally became everyone's big brother and big sister.

Jiang Yuan had also experienced the loneliness of being invincible since childhood!
