One week later.
Near an unnamed island in the ocean.
The island is not large, with sparse vegetation, and is a habitat for seabirds. The Sea Demon Ship is currently anchored about 100 meters away from it.
The people on the deck of the Sea Demon Ship looked anxiously into the distance, as if waiting for someone's return.
Huo Wu braced herself on the gunwale, stood on tiptoe, and peered into the distance, muttering to herself, "They've been gone for so long, could something have happened to them?"
His tone carried a hint of worry.
"What could possibly happen?"
Dugu Yan leaned against the ship's railing, her tone relaxed, "With the Charizard around, even if we can't win, we can run away. There aren't many Sea Soul Beast left in the ocean that can keep A-Mo's."
Ye Lingling stood beside her, nodded gently, and her gaze also fell on the distant sea.
Surrounded by the crowd, Shui Yue'er was clearly in a good mood.
She wore a sweet smile, her eyes curved into crescents, and she radiated an irrepressible joy.
The slightly unstable fluctuations of Soul Power emanating from her body also indicated that her cultivation had clearly just broken through.
Shui Bing'er stood beside her younger sister, her eyes filled with a sense of relief as she looked at her sister, admiring her good fortune.
This trip to Sea God Island has indeed been an excellent training experience. Even before officially arriving at Sea God Island, they have already Harvest two Soul Bone just from the training along the way.
That's right. Besides the Wolf Bandits's right leg bone that Feng Xiaotian absorbed, the Charizard also dropped a left leg bone with ten thousand years of cultivation when it was catching Sea Soul Beast as seafood a couple of days ago.
Under Shui Yue'er's expectant gaze, Lin Mo directly gave her the Soul Bone.
Lin Mo didn't think much of it, since, judging from the attributes alone, only Shui Yue'er had the highest compatibility with this Soul Bone.
Her Dolphin Martial Soul is inherently Water-type, allowing her to maximize her advantages in the ocean. This Water-type, ten-thousand-year-old left leg bone is the perfect fit for her.
Moreover, Shui Yue'er's cultivation level is not far from breaking through to the level 50 Quasi-Soul King, so this Soul Bone will directly belong to her.
Only when this Soul Bone is in her hands can its effects be maximized.
As for the other reason, if one's cultivation level can be broken through again before heading to Sea God Island, one can probably obtain a higher assessment level.
The higher one's cultivation level, the higher the assessment level one can achieve, and naturally, the more benefits one will gain from passing the assessment.
Just as everyone expected, after absorbing the Soul Bone, Shui Yue'er's cultivation level jumped from level 48 to level 50 Quasi-Soul King level.
She only needs one more Soul Ring to officially become a Five-Ring Soul King.
Lin Mo and the Charizard left this time to find a suitable Soul Beast for her Fifth Soul Ring.
This is the ocean after all, and it's unrealistic for Lin Mo and the Charizard to take Shui Yue'er to the ocean to fight on the spot.
Unlike land, Sea Soul Beast have an extremely wide range of movement. Taking someone with you to search for Soul Beast in the sea is not only inefficient, but also greatly increases the risk.
Therefore, Lin Mo chose a more direct approach. He and the Charizard set off separately, found a suitable Soul Beast, captured it, and let Shui Yue'er absorb it here.
Shui Yue'er cupped her face in her hands, her eyes sparkling as she gazed into the distance, murmuring, "Why hasn't Lin Mo come back yet... Could he have run into some trouble?"
"Are you hoping for his return?" Huo Wu teased, "Or are you hoping for your Fifth Soul Ring?"
Shui Yue'er blushed slightly and gave a soft hum, "I've been looking forward to it, is that not allowed?"
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
Before long, amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, a red light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, and then rapidly grew larger.
The red light moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it went from a small dot to a clear, visible point.
The Charizard spread its wide wings in the air and sped towards the direction of the Sea Demon Ship.
However, what surprised everyone was the enormous Sea Soul Beast that the Charizard was holding in its Dragon Claw.
Judging from its aura alone, it was arguably the most powerful Soul Beast they had ever seen.
Its size is even several sizes larger than the bluefin tuna that Charizard caught before.
That bluefin tuna was already quite large, but compared to this one, it was nothing.
This Sea Soul Beast is entirely gray-black, with skin as rough as rock, and its head is particularly large, taking up nearly a third of its entire body.
Its mouth contained enormous, terrifying teeth, like swords, arranged densely and gleaming with a chilling light.
Evil Spirit Orca.
One of the dominant species in the ocean, the adult Evil Spirit Orca can have a cultivation level of over ten thousand years, making it one of the top predators in the ocean.
However, this terrifying deep-sea behemoth has now completely lost consciousness.
Its injuries were extremely gruesome, with several deep claw marks on its back that exposed bone, and blood was still seeping out.
There was a large area of charred Burn on his abdomen, with the skin and flesh rolled back, emitting a burnt smell.
There are obvious tear marks on the tail fin; half of the tail fin is almost torn off.
It was completely powerless against the Charizard.
With a swift release of its Dragon Claw, the Charizard was tossed straight onto the beach near the island.
boom!
The enormous body crashed onto the beach, sending up Heavenly Water and dust.
Upon witnessing this scene, Shui Bing'er and the others immediately jumped off the Sea Demon Ship and rushed towards Lin Mo's location.
Lin Mo folded his Scarlet Phoenix Wings and landed steadily on the ground.
The magnificent red wings slowly disappeared behind him. Lin Mo stretched his shoulders and looked at the crowd rushing towards him.
Shui Yue'er ran in the lead, her face full of excitement, her eyes fixed on the huge, Evil Spirit Orca on the beach, her steps so fast she seemed to fly.
"Is this my Fifth Soul Ring?" Shui Yue'er's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Yes, that's right."
Lin Mo nodded and began to introduce, " The Evil Spirit Orca has a cultivation level of approximately ten thousand to twelve thousand years."
With your current cultivation level, plus the physical enhancement from the Soul Bone you absorbed earlier, absorbing the Soul Ring it produces will be no problem at all.
Shui Yue'er nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"No wonder it took so long..."
Dugu Yan said thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, the Evil Spirit Orca is one of the dominant species in the ocean, right? And it seems to be a social creature."
Lin Mo nodded, "My Charizard and I ran a long way before we came across this lone Evil Spirit Orca, and we just caught it without a second thought."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale and the Demon Soul Great White Shark are both quite suitable for Yue'er, but the former is hard to find and the latter is hard to kill...
The words were spoken in a cryptic manner, but everyone present understood them.
Among the Sea Soul Beast, the three dominant groups— the Deep Sea Demon Whale, the Evil Spirit Orca, and the Demon Soul Great White Shark —are undoubtedly the strongest in terms of overall strength and produce high-quality Soul Ring Soul Bone.
Of the three, the Demon Soul Great White Shark is the guardian beast group of Sea God Island.
They were heading to Sea God Island next, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was best not to harm the Demon Soul Great White Shark.
The number of Deep Sea Demon Whale is extremely small, and they all live in the deep sea, making them very difficult to find.
Deep Sea Demon Whale are extremely territorial and mostly solitary, making it like finding a needle in a haystack to find a suitable Deep Sea Demon Whale in the vast ocean.
In the end, Lin Mo set his sights on the Evil Spirit Orca.
Although Evil Spirit Orca are social animals, they can also be alone at times, and their activity range is relatively fixed.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to encounter a lone, ancient, Evil Spirit Orca.
That saved him a lot of trouble.
Shui Yue'er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Mo.
Those big, bright eyes were filled with gratitude, and a hint of something else was stirring within them.
Lin Mo is so good to her, first giving her Soul Bone, and now giving her Soul Ring.
If Lin Mo didn't mind, she would even be willing to repay him with her body.
The thought flashed through her mind, and Shui Yue'er's cheeks flushed slightly.
But she quickly suppressed the pounding in her heart, took a deep breath, and nodded emphatically at Lin Mo.
"Thanks!"
After saying those two words, she didn't hesitate any longer. Her Dolphin Martial Soul instantly possessed her, and she swiftly and decisively dealt with the dying Evil Spirit Orca.
The Evil Spirit Orca's massive body twitched a few times before it fell completely lifeless.
A Black Soul Ring suddenly condensed from the corpse of the Evil Spirit Orca, slowly Levitate in mid-air, emitting a profound light.
Shui Yue'er took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing the Soul Ring.
Shui Bing'er immediately stepped forward and stood beside her sister, warily watching their surroundings.
Although the island may seem safe, the blood of the Evil Spirit Orca could attract the attention of other Sea Soul Beast.
Lin Mo gestured to the group, and they dispersed, protecting Shui Yue'er in the center.
On the other side, Captain Hai, who caught sight of Lin Mo capturing such a Evil Spirit Orca on the deck of the Sea Demon Ship, was already dumbfounded.
He stood on the ship's side, gripping the railing tightly with both hands, his eyes wide open, and his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.
No one knew the power of the Evil Spirit Orca better than those who made their living at sea.
Even for him, if he were to collide with Evil Spirit Orca with a thousand years of cultivation in the ocean, his fate would likely be grim.
But what about Lin Mo?
They captured a ten-thousand-year-old Evil Spirit Orca.
And they captured him alive—they were knocked unconscious and brought back alive!
This kind of strength is simply terrifying!
His fear of Lin Mo deepened.
Lin Mo, who could so easily capture such a Evil Spirit Orca as if it were a claw machine, would probably be no different from crushing an ant if he really wanted to attack them.
Hai subconsciously touched his neck; his throat was dry and sore.
He recalled his initial thought—he actually wanted to rob this man; he must have been asking for trouble.
Thankfully, Lin Mo didn't make a move back then, otherwise the people on their boat would probably have become fish food in the sea long ago.
Hai took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He turned to the crew on deck and said in a low voice, "You all better behave yourselves and don't cause trouble. We can't afford to mess with this guy."
The crew members nodded, their faces filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.
More than an hour later, Shui Yue'er successfully absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring produced by the Evil Spirit Orca, which was extremely compatible with her Dolphin Martial Soul.
The fluctuations of her Soul Power gradually stabilized, and five Soul Ring pulsed slowly beneath her feet—two yellow, two purple, and one black.
The fifth jet-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring complemented the previous four Soul Ring.
Shui Yue'er suddenly stood up, a barely suppressed joy flashing in her eyes.
She raised her right hand, feeling the surging Soul Power within her, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
" Five-Ring Soul King! I'm Soul King too!"
Shui Yue'er cheered, turning to Shui Bing'er, "Sister, I've caught up with you!"
Shui Bing'er smiled slightly and reached out to ruffle her younger sister's hair. "Hmm, not bad."
He then inquired with great interest about Shui Yue'er's newly acquired Soul Skill: " Yue'er, what is your Fifth Soul Skill?"
Her purple eyes held a burning desire to know what kind of Soul Skill this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring produced by the Evil Spirit Orca would grant her sister.
Shui Yue'er did not hide this from her.
As the fifth jet-black Soul Ring lit up, Shui Yue'er raised her leg and kicked fiercely in front of her.
A crescent-shaped, blood-red light shot out from her leg, slashing suddenly towards the distant ocean.
The crimson light was extremely fast; the moment it slashed into the sea, it parted the water and carved out a trench tens of meters long.
The seawater surged to both sides, creating towering waves.
Its momentum was quite astonishing.
A moment later, the crimson light dissipated, and the sea gradually returned to calm.
Shui Yue'er began her introduction. " The Orca Demon Slash a single-target attack Soul Skill with considerable power, greatly compensating for my shortcomings in attack."
She wore a satisfied smile, clearly very fond of this new Soul Skill.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo stared thoughtfully at the crimson light.
Judging from the way this Soul Skill is presented, it is somewhat of a weakened version of the Orca Demon Axe, one of the two Soul Skill attached to the Evil Orca King Soul Bone that Tang San obtained in his memory.
Subsequently, with everyone's cooperation, the enormous Evil Spirit Orca was dismantled on the spot and loaded onto the Sea Demon Ship.
The Charizard helped out, picking up the dismantled carcass of the Evil Spirit Orca and placing it steadily on the deck of the Sea Demon Ship.
The enormous body took up most of the deck, which was stained with blood everywhere.
However, to everyone's slight disappointment, this rather powerful Evil Spirit Orca did not produce Soul Bone.
Huo Wu pouted, "What a pity, it would have been great if we'd gotten another Soul Bone."
"Where would you find so many Soul Bone?"
Feng Xiaotian chimed in, "Finding even one is already lucky; wanting a second one is just too greedy."
Huo Wu rolled her eyes at him. "Can't I even think about it?"
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
Lin Mo directed the crew to properly dispose of the carcass of the Evil Spirit Orca.
Haidai and several crew members stepped forward and carefully cut the meat off the Evil Spirit Orca, storing it in a container that had been prepared beforehand.
These are all good things. The meat of the ten-thousand-year-old Evil Spirit Orca is extremely nourishing and beneficial to Soul Master.
The crew members were afraid of Lin Mo, so they dared not slack off in their work.
They worked swiftly and quickly dealt with the Evil Spirit Orca.
The Sea Demon Ship sets sail once again.
The sails billowed in the wind as the Sea Demon Ship cut through the waves and continued its journey toward Sea God Island.
Lin Mo stood on the top deck, holding the nautical chart in his hand, his gaze fixed on the location marked as Sea God Island.
At their current speed, they should reach their destination in a day at most.
Lin Mo put away the nautical chart and looked into the distance.
It'll be soon.
We'll be there soon.
Only one day remains to reach Sea God Island!
