Million Years

The Seven Sacred Pillars watched this scene, and Sea Witch Douluo nearly failed to suppress her laughter.

This mother-daughter relationship was truly amusing.

She was actually setting up her own daughter without holding anything back.

"Why? Why? I haven't had enough fun yet~"

Qin Li stared blankly ahead.

She seemed unable to accept this reality.

"Xiao Li, wasn't becoming Pope your dream ever since you were little?"

"It may be my dream, but I'm not ready yet."

Qin Li looked helplessly at Hu Liena. Her mother really knew how to force people. Was she really going to stand by with Dad and watch her adorable daughter suffer?

"It's fine. You need to handle everything yourself. Your father and I believe in you."

Hu Liena smiled.

"Dad, control your wife! Do you really want to see me worked to death?" Qin Li looked at Qin Feng pitifully.

Yet Qin Feng merely gave her an affirming look. "Li'er, Dad believes you can do it."

"That's it?"

Qin Li stared at Qin Feng in disbelief.

"Dad, your perfect image in my heart has already shattered."

"It's fine. Your image in Dad's heart has always been the same."

Qin Feng answered casually.

"..."

"Aunt Gu Yuena~"

Qin Li called out to Gu Yuena in a spoiled tone, hoping she would speak up for her.

"Well, Xiao Li, Auntie wants to help you too, but Auntie can't."

Gu Yuena spread her hands.

If she could say anything, she would have done so long ago. Besides, this had been Qin Feng's decision, so she would be even less likely to oppose it.

Seeing Gu Yuena's expression, Qin Li's face fell.

She had forgotten. Aunt Gu Yuena obeyed her father in everything.

She truly could not understand it. Her father was clearly so powerful, so why did he not marry a few more wives?

Aunt Gu Yuena clearly had such intentions, yet she and her father had never been able to make things official.

Qin Li turned to Bo Saixi, but before she could say anything, Bo Saixi had already refused.

"Xiao Li, this is a matter for your Spirit Hall and has nothing to do with my Sea God Island. Also, the assessment begins tomorrow. Rest well today."

After saying that, Bo Saixi left.

The Seven Sacred Pillars chuckled, then followed Bo Saixi away.

"Hmph, Dad and Mom only know how to bully people. Anyway, I'm not going to Spirit Hall this early."

Qin Li crossed her arms, then her eyes rolled as she thought of something. "Mom, can't I have the other elders of Spirit Hall help me deal with a lot of things?

"Like what Dad said before—hire a group of people to be secretaries or something, then have them handle lots of matters for me."

"That could work, but do you have anyone in mind?" Hu Liena nodded.

That was also the method she currently used.

Otherwise, how could she have come here with Qin Feng for a vacation?

"Yes. For example, Elder Chrysanthemum, Elder Ghost, Elder Thousand Jun, Elder Demon Subduing, Elder Golden Crocodile, Elder Qian Daoliu. They definitely have plenty of experience and can certainly help me deal with things."

Qin Li quickly counted her candidates on her fingers.

"Ahem, they're currently my team. Do you want to inherit them?" Hu Liena coughed awkwardly. Were those people supposed to serve the Pope forever? She had already handed all her affairs over to them. If her daughter did the same, she felt a little sorry for them.

"That's right. They already have experience, so they can help me."

Qin Li nodded firmly.

"As long as you decide, I don't mind. You're the Pope now, so all Spirit Hall matters are yours to decide."

Hu Liena shrugged indifferently.

"Hehehe, then I won't hold back." Qin Li giggled, a red glint flashing through her eyes.

Qin Feng shook his head. He could already imagine Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others' listless appearance in the future.

Next came Qin Li's days of training on Sea God Island.

Tidal Body Tempering was merely an appetizer.

The hardest part was climbing the Sea God Stairway.

Then there was killing the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King.

And dealing with the ruler of the deep sea, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

This was a soul beast whose strength came closest to that of a god.

It was powerful enough to use soul power to form armor.

It could be said that in the past, aside from Gu Yuena and the Heavenly Dream Iceworm, hardly any soul beasts had been its match.

But now, although it possessed strength close to a million years, it could not even defeat Red King from the Star Dou Forest.

Not to mention Di Tian and the others.

Of course, Qin Li, using only her first martial soul, was no match for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King either.

Every time she challenged the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, she needed the Eastern Emperor Bell to save her life.

After one or two years passed, Qin Li broke through to level eighty-nine Soul Douluo.

The higher one's soul power became, the harder it was to cultivate. But Qin Li was undergoing an assessment, and she had received many benefits from the Sea God.

Each time she completed a task, she could level up. Combined with her own cultivation, Qin Li quickly reached level eighty-nine Soul Douluo and was about to break through again.

"I already have an idea for my ninth Soul Ring."

Qin Li spoke after giving it some thought.

"Xiao Li, you're not planning to target that Deep Sea Demon Whale King, are you?"

Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai asked Qin Li in surprise.

"Of course. Who else would I target?" Qin Li nodded decisively.

"That's far too dangerous. Aren't you worried something might go wrong?"

During this time, Qin Li and Xiao Bai had formed a deep friendship.

"It won't. The Eastern Emperor Bell will protect me." Qin Li touched the Eastern Emperor Bell on her right hand.

"This martial soul really is incredible." Looking at the Eastern Emperor Bell, Xiao Bai could only sigh in admiration.

A few months ago, she had seen Qin Li smash the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King with the Eastern Emperor Bell martial soul, killing it in a single blow.

At that time, she had known this martial soul was extraordinarily special. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for a single martial soul to kill a soul beast over a hundred thousand years old.

"Of course. The Eastern Emperor Bell is the strongest. Besides, I only have two tasks left now. One is killing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and the other is climbing the Sea God Stairway.

"I can complete those two tasks together, but I need to wait a little longer. I'll do it once I reach level ninety."

"You've planned it well. I'll help you, my friend." Xiao Bai answered with a smile.

Several more months quickly passed, and the scene shifted to the sea.

When Qin Li saw the Deep Sea Demon Whale King trying to flee into the ocean, she threw out the Eastern Emperor Bell, intending to kill it in one strike.

"No! No!!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King shouted in terror.

He had never expected his end to be like this. He would not become a new god, but instead be killed by a mere level-ninety Soul Douluo.

It was all because of that damned martial soul. Otherwise, how could he possibly have lost?

Boom!

The Eastern Emperor Bell expanded enormously, its terrifying suction pulling the Deep Sea Demon Whale King inside.

Soon after, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King died, and a bone along with a Soul Ring carrying a golden glow fell out of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

These were the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's soul bone and Soul Ring.

Now, they would all benefit Qin Li.

"Xiao Bai, protect me. I'm going to absorb this Soul Ring."

"Alright!"

Xiao Bai shouted excitedly. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was finally dead.

From now on, there would be no great threat in this ocean. It would be the territory of their Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.

Sure enough, following a good leader came countless benefits.]

VIP Chat Room!

Deep Sea Demon Whale King: I died just like that? Such a careless death?

Hu Liena: How careless could it be? I think it's quite good that you died at Xiao Li's hands. She's a powerful level-ninety Soul Douluo and an exceptional Twin Martial Souls soul master. Dying at her hands is your honor.

Chrysanthemum Douluo: It's only been a moment, yet Holy Maiden, you've already accepted so many things. Especially Xiao Li—you're even calling her Xiao Li directly now. That really isn't easy.

Ghost Douluo: That's right, Holy Maiden. It seems you've accepted Qin Li.

Yu Xiaogang: A golden Soul Ring. Is this the Soul Ring dropped by a soul beast close to a million years old? It truly is captivating.

Tang San: This is really incredible. A Million-Year Spirit Ring—it looks incredibly powerful.

Xiao Wu: But won't our lord stop this? That's a soul beast close to a million years old.

Di Tian: Our lord has no interest in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. It's merely a soul beast close to a million years old. It's not as though no one has seen one before.

Ten Thousand Demon King: That's right. Since our lord did not stop it in the Sky Screen, it means the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is of no use to them.

Ma Hongjun: That's truly impressive. They can simply discard a million-year soul beast. And from what I can tell, your lord has some inexplicable feelings for Qin Feng. Since this was something Qin Feng arranged, even if she disagreed, she would probably still agree.

Dai Mubai: Perverted Phoenix, you're right. My eyesight has become very accurate.

Davis: Is that so? Then have you checked when your death date is?

Zhu Zhuyun: That's right. Be careful~ You don't have much time left.

Zhu Zhuqing: ...

Ning Fengzhi: This should be the last part, right? Qin Li will probably leave Sea God Island soon. That will likely be the true beginning of her legend.

Sword Douluo: I think so too.

Yu Yuanzhen: What a pity. Who knows how many ten-thousand-year soul beasts she killed at sea? Those Soul Rings were such a waste. If they could have been given to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they could have created quite a few powerful experts.

...

"Deep Sea Demon Whale King? This thing is quite impressive. It's actually close to a million years old. I estimate I'm still some distance away from him."

Di Tian looked at the Sky Screen as he spoke.

He was only in his eight-hundred-thousand-year range now. Soul beasts could not become stronger quickly; they still had to endure the passage of time. The higher their age became, the slower their cultivation improved.

"Bi Ji, so much time has passed on the Sky Screen. Nothing seems to have gone wrong, right?"

Thinking of something, Di Tian asked the girl behind him.

"That's right, nothing. What's wrong?"

Bi Ji looked blankly at Di Tian. That was indeed the situation; nothing else had happened.

"Bi Ji, of course Di Tian wants to obtain special power to come and treat our lord." Zi Ji could not help answering.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Bi Ji nodded in sudden realization.

"Still, I'm curious about how soul beasts and humans in the parallel world coexist harmoniously."

Red King suddenly spoke.

So much time had passed from then until now. Soul beasts and humans had accumulated resentment for far too long—how could they possibly get along so easily?

"I don't know, but it has something to do with Qin Feng. The way our lord in the parallel world treats Qin Feng must be because of this." Bi Ji answered carefully.

"Probably. Otherwise, how could our lord, who never showed kindness, treat a human so well?"

"Let's keep watching. Perhaps this world will reveal something, and we might gain some inspiration from it."

Shrek Academy!

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar were already seated in the cafeteria.

There, they discussed the matter of the Sky Screen.

Watching Qin Li absorb the Soul Ring made them unbearably envious.

A Million-Year Spirit Ring! They were overjoyed just to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring, while someone their age was already absorbing a Million-Year Spirit Ring.

Comparing people really could make one furious.

"Stop being jealous. This is something from the parallel world. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King still exists in our world. If you want, you can go kill that soul beast right now."

Oscar seemed to see through Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's thoughts and could not help teasing them.

"Oscar, you're uncomfortable seeing us alive, aren't you? You want to get us killed so you can become Shrek Academy's most precious student."

Dai Mubai suddenly said coldly.

"Oh my, Oscar, I never thought you were this kind of person."

Ma Hongjun slapped the table.

Suddenly, his face turned red, and he grabbed his own arms with both hands.

When they saw this, Dai Mubai and Oscar understood what was happening.

The Evil Fire Phoenix had acted up again.

This truly made Dai Mubai and Oscar admire him.

In this regard, he really was impressive.

At least once a day, sometimes even for several days in a row.

Yet Ma Hongjun could still act as if nothing had happened, completely unaffected.

Dai Mubai could not help wondering whether the Evil Fire Phoenix's healing ability could only be used for bedroom activities.

"Fatty, if you're uncomfortable, go deal with it yourself. We still need to focus on watching the Sky Screen." Dai Mubai answered helplessly.

"But I want to watch too!"

"Do you want your life, or do you want to watch this?"

Oscar retorted.

"Of course I want my life. Forget it, I'm leaving first. I'll solve it quickly."

Ma Hongjun chose his own life and hurried away.

"That lecherous phoenix really leaves people speechless."

Flanders, Zhao Wuji, and the other academy teachers watched from beside the window, equally helpless.

Ma Hongjun's martial soul was very powerful, but who could blame it for having a flaw? But was it really a flaw? Many people seemed to be dying to have it.
