At Last, Vast Sea City

"You saw it too. Our ship needs to head to the mainland to do business. You pirates have so many people—perfect. As long as you're willing to be incorporated under me, we'll let today's matter go. What do you say?"

"Be incorporated? You mean...?" Purple Pearl asked.

Bofeng smiled faintly. What he lacked most right now was manpower, and these pirates had arrived at just the right time.

"These goods need to be sold in Heaven Dou City. Your task this time, and in the future, will be transporting goods from Sea God Island to Vast Sea City. Of course, whether you accept the incorporation is up to you. Will you continue being pirates who commit every kind of evil, or become fishermen who earn money to support their families? As the captain, you'd better weigh it carefully."

As he spoke, Bofeng walked to the side of the ship.

"Sister Bai, you can come aboard now."

The moment he finished speaking, the King of Demon Soul Great White Sharks transformed back into Xiao Bai and landed steadily on the deck.

Purple Pearl and the pirates were dumbfounded by the sight. To command the King of Demon Soul Great White Sharks so obediently, just who was this man?

"We accept the incorporation!" ×N

For a moment, all the pirates spoke in unison.

Bofeng: "..."

"Since that's the case, the first thing you need to do after joining is throw away everything related to your pirate lives and say goodbye to your former selves. From now on, you are unofficial personnel of Sea God Island. Your main responsibility will be transporting Sea God Island's goods to Vast Sea City, including goods transported from Vast Sea City to Heaven Dou City. That is my only true destination this time."

"Of course, everyone will be paid. The base pay is ten Gold Soul Coins a month. The more goods you transport, the more profit you'll earn. What do you think?"

The pirates were all thrilled when they heard this. This meant they would no longer be fearsome pirates, but people with an official position—unofficial personnel of Sea God Island, no less.

Not just anyone could enter Sea God Island. Only those who received a Sea God Trial were qualified to enter; otherwise, they would be driven out.

How could they possibly let this opportunity slip by?

They hurriedly packed their belongings and, led by their captain Purple Pearl, quickly sailed toward the distance.

Once the pirates had gone far away, Bofeng ordered the ship to continue onward.

"You incorporated so many pirates all at once. Be careful—they may be hard to tame," Xiao Bai warned.

"If life hadn't forced them into it, wouldn't they have been ordinary fishermen too? Our trip to the mainland serves two purposes. First, to expand our business. Second, to avoid drawing attention. Spirit Hall is our enemy. After they returned in defeat back then, they began calling Sea God Island Devil Island and prohibited all mainland Soul Masters from traveling there."

Bofeng opened a coconut, inserted a straw into it, and handed it to Xiao Bai before continuing.

"Sister Bai, you're a Sea Soul Beast. If you encounter a Titled Douluo and they recognize your identity, that would be troublesome."

Xiao Bai took a sip of coconut juice and smiled. "You can help me. Use Lord Sea God's Crown. This crown was worn by Lord Sea God in his youth. Not only does it contain the power of the sea, it can also conceal all auras and see through every illusion."

"Oh?"

As he spoke, the Trident insignia engraved upon the crown on Bofeng's head lit up.

Sea-blue light immediately enveloped Xiao Bai. Bathed in the light, she felt an indescribable comfort throughout her body.

A moment later, Xiao Bai seemed reborn and stretched lazily in comfort.

"This will do. Even a Titled Douluo won't be able to see my true identity now. And besides..."

Xiao Bai smiled faintly. Nine Soul Rings arranged themselves beneath her feet, while a massive Demon Soul Great White Shark appeared behind her.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red!

Bofeng froze. What was going on?

"Sister Bai, this is...?"

Xiao Bai smiled and withdrew the nine Soul Rings beneath her feet.

"You know that your Sister Bai is a Hundred Thousand Year Sea Soul Beast, with a status equivalent to a human Titled Douluo. We fish cannot leave the sea. Otherwise, after two hours, things would become quite dire."

"Fortunately, you have Sea God's Crown. It contains the power of the ocean and has completely changed my body's structure. There's no longer any need to worry about that issue. Rather than saying that, it would be more accurate to say your Sister Bai is already human."

Seeing this, Bofeng asked no further questions. With a "Titled Douluo" possessing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring protecting him, his worries were now gone. Next came entering the mainland. He wondered what strange and unusual things he would encounter.

The sea was vast and boundless. Bofeng's ship cut through the waves and finally arrived safely at the harbor two days later.

This was Vast Sea City, a city located west of the Heaven Dou Empire. As soon as they entered the city, Bofeng finished giving his instructions and entered the city with Xiao Bai.

Everything within the city was so novel that the two wandered around with their eyes darting everywhere.

The streets were lined with vendors selling sea fish and all kinds of local specialties. They were all Sea Folk, living off the sea, and the air carried a faint fishy scent.

Before long, the two arrived before a rather large building.

"Vast Sea Grand Soul Fighting Arena."

Bofeng read the name on the sign in front of him. This was a Grand Soul Fighting Arena, something every city possessed.

It was used for sparring and contests between Soul Masters, divided into one-on-one, two-on-two, and seven-on-seven group soul fights.

"Sister Bai, how about we go in and have some fun?" Bofeng suggested.

"This is a Grand Soul Fighting Arena, a place for Soul Masters to spar and compete. What, are you feeling restless?" Xiao Bai asked with a smile.

Bofeng nodded. "Mom only gave me fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins this time. The journey to Heaven Dou City is long, and that money is nowhere near enough. Purple Pearl and the others will need several days to get here, and we can make a profit through betting at this Grand Soul Fighting Arena. It can help us save up quite a bit of money for what comes next."

"I plan to fight a few matches here over the next few days. Sister Bai, I'll have to trouble you to place bets on me. The more, the better. Once Purple Pearl and the others arrive, we'll set off for Heaven Dou City."

"No problem. Leave it to me." Xiao Bai patted her chest.

The two then entered the Vast Sea Grand Soul Fighting Arena. It was packed with people. Xiao Bai headed toward the betting area.

Meanwhile, Bofeng went to register for the upcoming match.

"Name?"

"Bofeng."

"Age?"

"Eighteen."

"Spirit?"

"Trident."

"What rank?"

"Soul Grandmaster."

After a series of procedures, Bofeng finally registered. The reason he reported an older age was mainly to avoid attracting attention. Bofeng was one meter eighty-five tall, so no one would doubt him if he claimed to be eighteen, especially since he was a Soul Grandmaster.

More importantly, he had Sea God's Crown.

It concealed his original Sea God Spirit, and his Soul Rings had become one yellow and one purple.

Otherwise, the moment the Sea God Spirit appeared, Vast Sea City would likely be thrown into an uproar. Most people here were Sea Spirit Masters—how could they not recognize the Sea God?
