As time passed, the First Hundred Year Spirit Ring circling Bofeng gradually calmed down. This was a sign that the Soul Ring Absorption had been completed.

The Soul Power within his body rapidly grew, while a scorching warm current coursed through every part of Bofeng's body. Evil Spirit Orcas truly deserved their reputation as apex predators of the ocean.

Being able to encounter two of them at once was fortunate, though one had exceeded a thousand years. Unfortunately, it was beyond Bofeng's absorption range and could only be wasted.

Xiao Bai had been silently guarding him all along. When she saw that Bofeng had finished absorbing it, the worry hanging over her heart finally eased.

Now, they only had to wait for Bofeng to wake up before continuing their search for the next Sea Soul Beast.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai seemed to sense something. Her eyes filled with terror as she stared at the calm ocean in the distance.

After observing in secret, Xiao Bai's expression turned grave. It was here!

The pack led by the Evil Orca King was about to arrive. What were they supposed to do now?

Even if all the Demon Soul Great White Sharks were present, they could only retreat when facing so many Evil Spirit Orcas. One Evil Spirit Orca could fight two Demon Soul Great White Sharks to a standstill.

Ever since that battle several years ago, Xiao Bai had suffered from lingering internal injuries that had yet to heal.

With danger now upon them, she had no choice but to think of Bofeng. He possessed Twin Martial Souls and would be the future leader of Sea God Island. Xiao Bai would not allow anything to happen to him.

After all, Bofeng had promised her that he would definitely wipe out the Evil Orca Pack.

At that moment, Bofeng slowly woke up. Having absorbed the First Spirit Ring, he had gained a suitable first spirit skill.

Just as he was rejoicing, he saw Xiao Bai's clouded expression.

"Sister Xiaobai, what's wrong?" Bofeng asked worriedly.

Xiao Bai took a deep breath. "We need to leave immediately. The Evil Orca King is about to arrive."

"The Evil Orca King?!" Bofeng cried out.

That was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Even though Xiao Bai was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she had no confidence in defeating such an opponent.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bofeng cast one final glance at the purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring that was about to disappear before leaving.

He immediately shook his head. That was not something he should touch. His life was at stake right now; he could not be thinking about such things.

Not to mention that it had already exceeded the Second Spirit Ring's limit by more than two hundred years.

Just as Xiao Bai and Bofeng prepared to leave, Bofeng suddenly stopped.

Under Xiao Bai's puzzled gaze, the Sea God Spirit appeared behind Bofeng. It held the Sea God Trident and gazed straight ahead.

For a moment, Xiao Bai was stunned. Lord Sea God—this really was Lord Sea God!

Bofeng remained calm as though the Sea God had said something to him.

Then, the Sea God vanished.

Bofeng stepped forward and dragged the Thousand-Year Evil Spirit Orca, which had been dead for some time, into the ocean.

Xiao Bai asked in confusion, "Xiaofeng, forget about this Evil Spirit Orca. Staying alive is what matters most."

"Sister Xiaobai, at your fastest speed, how long would it take to reach Sea God Island?" Bofeng asked seriously.

Xiao Bai pondered for a moment. "At most, an hour and a half. Is there a problem?"

"I've heard Mother mention the Evil Orca Pack before. Their bodies are enormous, and in terms of strength, Demon Soul Great White Sharks are far inferior to them. But when it comes to speed, you are the experts."

"Of course!" Xiao Bai proudly patted her chest, immediately stirring up waves.

Then, Xiao Bai entered the sea and transformed into a twenty-meter-long Demon Soul Great White Shark.

Bofeng sat cross-legged on Xiao Bai's back and guided his Soul Power into his hand. The Thousand-Year Soul Ring that was about to vanish instantly flew toward him.

At the same time, the First Spirit Ring beneath Bofeng's feet lit up. Above the yellow Spirit Ring, a purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring rapidly spun.

"Sister Xiaobai, let's go quickly. The Evil Orca King is about to arrive."

As he spoke, Bofeng began absorbing the Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Xiao Bai nodded, fixed her gaze toward Sea God Island, and carried Bofeng away at top speed.

As the strongest among the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, she was also among the fastest creatures in the ocean.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Bai carried Bofeng as she sped toward Sea God Island.

The late-arriving Evil Orca King looked at the two Evil Spirit Orcas lying dead before him. After releasing his energy to search the surrounding waters, he found no trace of Xiao Bai or that human.

Enraged, the Evil Orca King swallowed his dead clansmen. The sound of bones being chewed rang endlessly, and fresh red blood stained his sharp teeth.

"Pursue them!" The Evil Orca King gave the order, and the Evil Spirit Orcas sped toward Sea God Island in a pack.

Over the boundless ocean, Xiao Bai swam swiftly. Less than one-third of the distance to Sea God Island remained; they would arrive after swimming a little longer.

Bofeng, seated on Xiao Bai's back, was currently absorbing the Thousand-Year Soul Ring, whose age had reached exactly one thousand years.

This Evil Spirit Orca was different from the first hundred-year one. Its power was far more violent, and the pressure brought by the Thousand-Year Soul Ring caused unbearable pain throughout Bofeng's body.

His internal organs felt as though they were on fire, and his face was bleak. Absorbing a Soul Ring beyond the age limit was something he was experiencing for the first time.

As for why he was doing this, it was because the Sea God had appeared and told Bofeng to do so.

Exceeding the limit by two hundred years and absorbing a Soul Ring across ranks—such pain was not something Bofeng could endure.

Xiao Bai could keenly feel that Bofeng was suffering immense pain at this very moment. Though her heart ached for him, this was a path he had to walk. No one could interfere lightly.

As time passed, Xiao Bai could faintly see the outline of Sea God Island. Wonderful! As long as they reached Sea God Island, the Evil Orca Pack would be unable to do anything to them.

But at that moment, Xiao Bai caught the scent of danger.

A Sea Blue Light Pillar shot toward them at incredible speed. In her urgency, Xiao Bai quickly dodged.

Behind them, the Evil Orca King had already arrived with the bulk of his forces.

Xiao Bai was beginning to struggle. The injuries left behind by her battle with him two years ago had flared up again. Coupled with her frantic journey, the Evil Orca King had managed to catch up.

"Xiao Bai, you dared to kill my clansmen!" The Evil Orca King dragged his massive body forward, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Xiao Bai.

"Evil Tiger! You brought this upon yourselves. Just wait—one day, the Evil Spirit Orcas will disappear completely from these waters and return peace to the sea," Xiao Bai declared forcefully. She had to ensure Bofeng's absolute safety.

"Hahaha..."

The Evil Orca King laughed. "A hundred years ago, your younger brother died by my own hand. I have to say, your brother's flesh was truly delicious. I wonder, what about yours?"

"You!"

Xiao Bai trembled with rage. The Evil Orca King was deliberately provoking her, hoping that fury would cloud her judgment.

But Xiao Bai could not lose control. Bofeng sat upon her back, and the purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring had already begun merging with his body. He was almost successful!
