[Douluo Top Ten Powerhouses, No. 9: Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.] [The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is a Soul Beast aged 990,000 years, only one step away from a million years. For now, we place the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King ninth on the Douluo Top Ten Powerhouses Ranking.] [The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's rewards are as follows: break through the restrictions imposed by the Divine Realm and the Dragon God, advance to become a million-year Soul Beast, and become a Divine Beast.] [He will also be exempt from the Divine Beast heavenly tribulation.] [In ten minutes, we will reveal No. 8 among Douluo's Top Ten Powerhouses.]
Douluo Continent, the deep sea.
A beam of golden light descended from the sky curtain, aimed straight at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and enveloped him.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King felt his cultivation instantly pass the million-year mark. The Soul Core within his body also transformed into a Divine Core. He had become a Divine Beast.
I became a god just like that!
I broke through to the God Level I'd always longed for, just like that!
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King thanked the Sky Curtain System in the sky curtain channel.
Aboard the merchant ship bound for Mount Lu Residence.
Ning Fengzhi said worriedly, "The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King seems to be in the same direction as Mount Lu. We won't run into him, will we?"
"He's a Divine Beast now!"
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly asked Big Yellow in the Chat Channel. Big Yellow said that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was very friendly and kind, and would never hurt anyone.
Only then did Ning Fengzhi relax.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King wanted to cry but had no tears. With Mount Lu there, how would he dare hurt anyone? Big Yellow had beaten him many times over that very matter.
Most importantly, when he wanted to leave the waters around Mount Lu, Big Yellow would not let him.
Yan had none of those worries. Once again, he mocked Yu Xiaogang in the Chat Channel.
[Yan: Grandmaster Yu, didn't you say No. 9 would be Qian Daoliu?] [How come it's the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King now?]
Heaven Dou City, Shrek School.
Yu Xiaogang's expression shifted as he recuperated from his injuries. He kept cursing inwardly, Where did this damned Deep Sea Demonic Whale King pop out from?
There was clearly nothing wrong with my theory!
Why do things beyond my expectations keep popping up?
Ah, damn you, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King! Why don't you just die?
After he finished cursing, Yu Xiaogang still had to answer Yan's questions in the Chat Channel.
[Yu Xiaogang: People stumble, and horses lose their footing. Nothing could be more normal. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was merely an exception. The next one will definitely be Qian Daoliu.] [Yan: Yu Dashi, I remember something Senior Big Yellow once said. Stop being a dead duck with a stubbornly stiff beak. Is admitting you're useless really that hard?] [Yu Xiaogang: Yan, you're the useless one! Your whole family is useless!] [How could you possibly comprehend this Grandmaster's world-shaking wisdom? Just you wait. This Grandmaster absolutely won't be wrong about No. 8. It will definitely be Qian Daoliu!] [Yan: A dead duck with a stubbornly stiff beak.]
Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.
Reading Yan's remarks in the Chat Channel, Yu Xiaogang grew so furious that his head swelled and his neck bulged.
"Yan, you again! It's you every time!"
"Why don't you just die?"
"Why are you still alive?"
"Xiao Gang, don't get worked up. Your body can't handle it in its current condition."
"They're just a bunch of mediocre fools. How could they understand your excellence and wisdom?"
"Xiao Gang, I'll always believe in you." Liu Erlong kept comforting Yu Xiaogang beside his bed.
Flender pursed his lips at the side, deeply jealous of Yu Xiaogang. He had no idea what Liu Erlong saw in Yu Xiaogang, nor did he know why he had once called a useless man like Yu Xiaogang his brother.
He was baffled.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
[No. 8 on the Douluo Top Ten Powerhouses Ranking: Di Tian.] [Di Tian is also known as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King. His true body possesses 810,000 years of cultivation. Although his cultivation is inferior to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's, he has mastered the Dragon God Claw, which can greatly enhance his combat strength.] [With the Dragon God Claw, Di Tian can reliably defeat the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Therefore, we temporarily rank Di Tian eighth among the Top Ten Powerhouses.] [Di Tian's rewards are as follows: advance his cultivation to a million years, break through the restrictions imposed by the Dragon God and the Divine Realm that prevent Soul Beasts from becoming gods, become a Divine Beast, gain exemption from the Divine Beast heavenly tribulation, and further strengthen his dragon bloodline.] [In ten minutes, we will reveal No. 7 among the Top Ten Powerhouses.]
The moment Di Tian was announced as No. 8, Yan immediately unleashed another round of mockery at Yu Xiaogang in the Chat Channel.
[Yan: Tsk, tsk, Yu Dashi, didn't you say No. 8 would be Qian Daoliu? How come No. 8 is Di Tian now?] [Oh, right, I also remember you saying Di Tian would be No. 4, wasn't it?] [Yu Dashi, stop being a dead duck with a stubbornly stiff beak. Is admitting you're useless really that hard?] [Yu Xiaogang: That's impossible! Soul Beasts are clearly stronger than humans. How could Di Tian rank as low as eighth?] [Fake! It must be fake!] [Yan: Yu Dashi, don't take your ignorance for granted.] [I know you're a dead duck with a stubbornly stiff beak, so I won't force you to admit you're useless.] [But look at your own rankings. Not a single one matches!] [You should stop carrying that title of Grandmaster around. It's pretty embarrassing.] [Even if you don't find it shameful, I'm embarrassed for you!] [Qian Duobao: Exactly, Yu Xiaogang. You don't deserve the title of Grandmaster at all.] [Qian Duofu: We'd better be careful whenever we run into anyone calling himself a Grandmaster. He might just be a swindler bluffing his way around!] [Li Si: The two gentlemen above make a good point. I agree with that statement!]
Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou City.
Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang lay in bed, reading the mockery and abuse directed at him in the Chat Channel. His chest heaved violently, and his breathing grew increasingly rapid.
He cursed aloud in fury.
"Damn you, Yan! Why hasn't Spirit Hall killed you?"
"You keep opposing me over and over!"
"Why don't you just die?"
"Xiao Gang, don't get worked up. I already told you not to get worked up. Why do you never listen to me?"
Liu Erlong was very angry.
Yu Xiaogang protested, feeling wronged, "Erlong, it's not that I want to get worked up. Yan is just too hateful. These people are too hateful."
"They don't understand anything!"
"I've clearly put in so much effort."
"What right do they have to call me useless?"
"If they were reduced to my circumstances, they wouldn't even accomplish as much as I have!"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Gang, you're the best."
"We won't stoop to the level of those fools!"
"Xiao Gang, stop paying attention to those fools in the Chat Channel. Get some proper rest and recover from your injuries!" Liu Erlong urged.
She was truly afraid that Yu Xiaogang would keep reading the Chat Channel and be angered to death.
"All right, Erlong. I'll listen to you." Yu Xiaogang did not want to argue with those ignorant people either.
He had been about to leave the Chat Channel, but when he saw what Tang San had said, his vision went black and he passed out.
[Tang San: Sure enough, my decision back then was right. A useless swindler like Yu Xiaogang doesn't deserve to be my teacher at all.] [What a shame I didn't kill Yu Xiaogang and rid everyone of this scourge!]
