First Spirit Ring: Hundred-Year Evil Orca

The Spirit Awakening ceremony concluded successfully. Bofeng's spirits were the Sea God Spirit and the Mysterious Hammer.

He planned to use the Sea God Spirit as his primary martial soul and the Mysterious Hammer as his secondary martial soul.

Since Bofeng possessed Twin Martial Souls, along with Innate Full Spirit Power Level Twenty, his mother had to deal with Sea God Island's affairs first after he rested for a day. She therefore arranged for Xiao Bai to accompany Bofeng in hunting suitable Sea Soul Beasts.

Early in the morning, Bofeng came to the beach alone and gazed at the vast, boundless ocean before him as the cool sea breeze brushed across his face.

Today was the day they set sail, and Xiao Bai had been waiting for a long time.

Xiao Bai was the guardian Spirit Beast of Sea God Island, once the Sea God's mount: a Demon Soul Great White Shark.

In her human form, Xiao Bai was exceptionally beautiful. Her long gray hair cascaded down her back, and her eyes were the same grayish blue. Her delicate features and proud figure gave her an indescribably unique charm.

"Sister Xiaobai!" Bofeng ran excitedly toward Xiao Bai.

As the guardian Spirit Beast of Sea God Island and the High Priest's son, Bofeng naturally had an excellent relationship with her.

Xiao Bai gave a mischievous smile and swept Bofeng into her arms.

"Xiaofeng, it's been so long. Did you miss your sister?" Xiao Bai smiled, then planted a loud kiss on Bofeng's tender cheek.

"Of course I did. What have you been busy with lately, Sister Xiaobai?" Bofeng asked.

Their last meeting had been two years ago.

It was said that Xiao Bai had led her clansmen into a brutal war. During that melee, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Pack, which guarded Sea God Island's safety, suffered devastating losses.

Even Xiao Bai had returned injured, and Bo Saixi had personally treated her wounds.

Conflicts between Spirit Beasts were unavoidable, especially among Spirit Beasts like the Demon Soul Great White Shark, which had few rivals in the entire ocean.

Other than that one in the Demon Whale Sea Domain, their greatest natural enemy was the Evil Orca.

They were the butchers of the sea, no less cruel than that one in the Demon Whale Sea Domain. Sometimes, they even spared not their own kind.

Xiao Bai shook her head with a bitter smile. "Nothing much. Apart from the responsibility of guarding Sea God Island, I've just been idling around here. The High Priest told me all about your Spirit Awakening. You urgently need two suitable First and Second Spirit Rings."

"Then let's not waste time. We should set off at once."

With that, Xiao Bai held Bofeng and leaped into the sea. The moment she touched the water, she transformed into a twenty-meter-long Demon Soul Great White Shark. The exquisite golden stripes on her body made her appear especially noble.

Bofeng sat on Xiao Bai's back as the boy and shark slowly swam into the ocean.

According to his mother's arrangements, the maximum age for his First Spirit Ring was four hundred and twenty-three years, while the maximum for his Second Spirit Ring was seven hundred and sixty-four years.

The best sources of Spirit Rings were Evil Orcas, Sea Horses, Starfish, Sea Serpents, and the like.

Of them, the Evil Orca was the most valuable, a creature capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Demon Soul Great White Shark. Unfortunately, Evil Orcas were pack-dwelling Sea Soul Beasts and rarely traveled alone. Their pack also contained a Hundred Thousand Year Evil Orca King, whose strength was even more terrifying.

At present, Xiao Bai was taking Bofeng in the direction opposite the Evil Orca Pack. The Sea Soul Beasts they encountered along the way were either too old or were Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts. Not a single one was suitable.

By now, the sun was high in the sky. Xiao Bai found an empty island, and the two took a brief rest.

Bofeng and Xiao Bai lay on the soft beach as the refreshing sea breeze blew freely, carrying away the day's exhaustion.

"Sister Xiaobai, it's been a whole day, and we still haven't encountered a suitable Sea Soul Beast," Bofeng said weakly.

Xiao Bai covered her mouth and laughed. "Don't be impatient when things happen. Finding a suitable Sea Soul Beast isn't that simple."

Just as Bofeng was fretting over his First Spirit Ring, a figure on the sea made his gaze sharpen.

It was a gray whale with an enormous head. When it opened its mouth, rows of sharp teeth could tear apart anything. Its dark red eyes were filled with endless killing intent.

"Evil Orca!" Bofeng sprang up from the beach and stared at the Evil Orca feeding in the distance.

That creature was roughly three to four meters long. An adult Evil Orca could reach thirty meters.

The moment Xiao Bai heard that name, she immediately stood up and looked toward the Evil Orca feeding in the distance.

That name was one Xiao Bai had always hated.

Her younger brother had died at the hands of the Evil Orca King. As a result, when the Evil Orca King led its pack into battle two years ago, Xiao Bai had returned grievously wounded.

Every so often, the two races would wage war. This was the law of survival among Sea Soul Beasts.

"It really is an Evil Orca. It's three to four meters long, between three hundred and four hundred years old. It's perfect for your First Spirit Ring," Xiao Bai said happily.

Then Xiao Bai's face filled with hatred. "Wait here. Sister Xiaobai will capture it for you and make that beast your First Spirit Ring."

To Xiao Bai, Evil Orcas had always been objects of hatred. This time, she intended to act personally.

Before coming here, Bo Saixi had told her to let Bofeng act as much as possible while Xiao Bai merely watched, only intervening when necessary in a crisis.

But the creature before them was an Evil Orca, the thing Xiao Bai hated most in her life.

Bofeng hurriedly wrapped his arms around Xiao Bai's slender leg, stopping her from moving forward.

"Sister Xiaobai, leave this one to me. This is my first time. Being able to fight an Evil Orca is an honor."

"But..." Xiao Bai tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. Their purpose this time was to help Bofeng grow, not to have a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast bully a Hundred-Year Spirit Beast.

They had finally found one, and such a precious Evil Orca at that. If Xiao Bai made one mistake and killed it herself, Bofeng would be unable to absorb this perfectly suitable Spirit Ring.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaobai. I promise you here and now: when I become a Titled Douluo, I'll personally slaughter the Evil Orca King and make it a Spirit Ring for my Sea God Spirit. How about that? I'll avenge you," Bofeng declared firmly.

Looking at Bofeng before her and listening to his words, Xiao Bai's heart filled with warmth.

She affectionately rubbed Bofeng's head and smiled. "You must be careful. Evil Orcas are powerful. The whale hide on their backs is the toughest part of their bodies. When you attack, make sure to strike its lower belly. That is its softest area."

Bofeng nodded solemnly, then slowly walked toward the Evil Orca that was greedily devouring its meal.

It was three to four meters long, with a pitch-black body and scarlet eyes full of evil intent. It was one of the most wicked and bloodthirsty creatures in the ocean.

The Evil Orca seemed to notice Bofeng as well. It looked at the tiny boy before it, who actually dared to challenge it.
