Demon Soul Great White Sharks-The Livestream Begins!

"How dare you disrespect the Progenitor? Who gave you the nerve?"

The guards outside the temple came in, intending to arrest Bei Miao.

"Under the laws of the Northern Underworld Empire, insulting the Progenitor carries a three-year prison sentence!"

The guard fixed his eyes on Bei Miao, the Soul Tool in his hand ready to fire. "Don't resist. Surrender now."

Everyone around him glared, but Bei Miao remained calm. He held out a hand, revealing a pitch-black token.

At the sight of it, the guard took a closer look and went pale. He immediately dropped to his knees.

"Welcome, Progenitor!"

The others panicked and knelt as well. "Welcome, Progenitor!"

"Mm."

Bei Miao nodded in satisfaction. This thing really was useful.

Bei Mingyuan had crafted the token himself from a tooth he had shed while growing up. Nothing on the Douluo Continent could replicate it.

In the Northern Underworld Empire, tokens like it had been given to only one group: Bei Mingyuan's five avatars.

Everyone in the Northern Underworld Empire knew that seeing the token was as good as seeing the Progenitor himself.

"You may go."

Bei Miao waved a hand. "Bei Mingxue is about to attack Sea God Island, and I plan to join in. I came to collect my armor."

"I see."

Understanding dawned on the guard. The attendants assigned to the temple were no ordinary people; they were all direct descendants of Bei Mingyuan. Otherwise, they could never have recognized the token.

Once everyone had left, Bei Miao pressed his hand to the platform before the statue.

Black light flared. The statues on either side shifted away, and a platform slowly rose, revealing the Black Rhinoceros Summoner atop it.

"Sea God Island, here I come!"

Bei Miao grabbed the Summoner and the crystal, then left the temple.

In the imperial palace hall, Bei Mingxue opened her eyes and nodded respectfully. "I will obey the Progenitor's command."

Before long, Bei Miao entered the palace at Bei Mingxue's invitation.

"Little Xue, it's been a long time."

With one hand in his pocket, Bei Miao reached out with the other and patted Bei Mingxue's head.

"Grandpa Bei Miao, I'm grown up now. I'm not a child anymore."

The usually imposing empress showed a rare, girlish side as she pouted at him.

"Grandpa Bei Miao, it's been so long since I last saw you. I really missed you."

Bei Mingxue beamed. "And Grandpa Xin Nan and the others. I missed them too."

"Hahaha! Blame that old geezer Bei Mingyuan for not letting us out."

Bei Miao smiled. "Otherwise, I'd have come to see you long ago."

"Hey, I'm right here."

Bei Mingyuan appeared before them as a phantom. "Calling yourself an old geezer, are you?"

"Tch!"

"Progenitor!"

Bei Mingxue hurriedly lowered her head and spoke respectfully:

"Mm. You've done well, Little Xue."

Bei Mingyuan smiled. "Leave the rest to your Grandpa Bei Miao."

"Yes."

"Don't worry, Little Xue. I'll take Sea God Island right now!"

Bei Miao cracked his knuckles. "And that Spirit Hall, too. I'd like to see what they're capable of!"

"Hold it!"

Bei Mingyuan hurriedly stopped him. "Spirit Hall is Xin Nan and the others' assignment. Don't steal it."

"Oh, stop nagging. I can go somewhere else, can't I?"

Despite his sharp words for his original self, Bei Miao was an avatar. Bei Mingyuan had to control his every action.

"I'm off!"

Bei Miao waved, left the palace, and flew toward General Long Wei's warship.

"Light and Shadow Steed!"

He mounted his steed and reached the warship in no time.

"Who goes there?"

General Long Wei had sensed Bei Miao approaching and immediately stepped forward to confront him.

"What, you become a grand general and forget who I am?"

Bei Miao hopped off the Light and Shadow Steed and smiled at General Long Wei.

"Master!"

The moment General Long Wei saw Bei Miao, delight swept over him. He hurried forward and knelt. "Master, please accept your disciple's bow!"

"You're a grand general now. Stop kneeling at every opportunity."

Bei Miao hauled him up with one hand. "You need to maintain some dignity as a grand general."

"Yes, Master."

General Long Wei scratched his head with a grin, then said earnestly, "You saved my life, Master. A mere bow is nothing."

"Enough. What's the situation?"

"Nothing to report. Sea God Island hasn't made a move so far." General Long Wei shook his head.

"From what I can see, they've been very busy."

Bei Miao sneered. "Most of Sea God Island's people have evacuated. Only Bo Saixi remains to hold the island."

"What?"

General Long Wei was startled. "Should I go capture them?"

"No need."

Bei Miao waved a hand. "As long as Sea God Island stands, they'll come back. We only need to sit beneath the tree and wait for the rabbits."

"As you say, Master."

"Report!"

The vanguard fleet returned. "General, we've spotted a group of Demon Soul Great White Sharks three thousand li ahead! Our scans show the Soul Beast leading them is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

"Oh?"

Bei Miao's interest was piqued. "Interesting. Demon Soul Great White Sharks? If I remember right, one of them was that old geezer Poseidon's mount."

"Even his mount has fled. Sea God Island really is at the end of its rope."

Bei Miao rolled his wrists. "Very well. I'll go meet her!"

"Master, are you going to fight in person?"

General Long Wei looked thrilled. He hadn't seen his master fight in tens of thousands of years, and he couldn't help getting excited.

"I haven't fought in so many years. These fellows will do nicely for stretching my muscles."

Bei Miao fastened the Black Rhinoceros Summoner around his wrist.

"Hey! Don't kill any of them. I don't think we have Demon Soul Great White Sharks on the Northern Underworld Continent."

Bei Mingyuan gave instructions inside Bei Miao's mind. "Capture them all and bring them back. They'll add to the continent's wildlife."

"Got it!"

Bei Miao answered and leaped from the ship. Just as he reached the sea, he slotted the crystal into the wristband.

"Black Rhino Armor! Fuse!"

[Armor Fusion!]

With the fusion complete, Bei Miao landed lightly on the water's surface instead of sinking beneath it like an ordinary person.

"Water only makes my armor stronger!"

Wielding the power of water among the Five Elements, Bei Miao could command and use water wherever it flowed. His strength spoke for itself.

Standing on the sea, Bei Miao lightly rubbed his nose. "From here on, this is my turf!"

With that, he pushed off hard and shot forward.

General Long Wei hurried after him and switched on the Sky Screen's livestream system. "Everyone, watch my master in action!"

[Douluo Continent · Bibi Dong: Huh? What's this strange new thing?]

[Douluo Continent · Ning Fengzhi: It seems to be one of the Sky Screen's main functions. It can transmit images from anywhere on Douluo Star, like it's doing now.]

[Douluo Continent · Oscar: Look! That armored man on the water!]
