Pebbles flew off the shore, and ripples spread across the surface of the Ring Sea.
Seeing that Charizard had already engaged in combat with Xiao Bai, the group instinctively wanted to provide assistance, but Lin Mo stopped them.
"Sect Master, don't you need our help?" Feng Xiaotian asked, turning his head with anxiety in his eyes.
Lin Mo waved his hand. "No need, just leave it to Charizard."
Although he was saying that, Lin Mo's gaze was entirely fixed on the Charizard.
With the help of several powerful amplification Soul Skill, the Mega Charizard has now completely suppressed the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai, who is fighting out of the water.
After only a few exchanges, Xiao Bai was already showing signs of weakness, with several scorching marks on its body from Charizard's Fire Punch.
Xiao Bai roared repeatedly, its long gray-blue hair disheveled in the battle, and the clothes it wore, made of Soul Power, were burned with several holes by the flames, revealing its fair skin underneath.
She desperately activated the Demon Shark Domain, and a gray-blue light erupted from her body in an attempt to suppress the power of the Charizard.
However, her domain was completely ineffective against the Charizard's scorching flames; it was instantly shattered upon contact.
Lin Mo was not surprised at all by this scene.
When a fish-like Sea Soul Beast cultivates to the age of 100,000, it can choose to transform into human form to fight on land.
However, this is not without cost; after choosing to appear on land as humans, their strength will be reduced by 30%.
Furthermore, there is a time limit to transforming into a human; if one does not return to the sea within an hour, one will gradually weaken and may even die.
The land is not the domain of Sea Soul Beast.
On land, Xiao Bai's strength is already weakened, and now facing a fully powered Charizard, he is even less of Charizard for it.
Even though he and Charizard had never unleashed their full power after breaking through to the eighth ring, Lin Mo Charizard n't entirely sure what stage their current strength was at.
However, it is certain that even without using its Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Charizard's own strength has probably already Transcendence of the vast majority of Titled Douluo.
The combat power boost brought by Soul Core, especially Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, is just that unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo subconsciously lowered his eyes and looked towards the battlefield.
The battle on the field is nearing its end, and Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King who rashly attacked him, is now at a complete disadvantage.
Even with her Demon Shark Domain activated, she was still completely outmatched by Charizard, who even blocked her path, leaving her with no way to retreat back to the Ring Sea Charizard.
The Charizard stood between Xiao Bai and the Ring Sea, its Dual Wingbeat spread, blocking all her escape routes.
Its red eyes were fixed on Xiao Bai, its Dragon Claw glowed with a cold green light, and the blue flames at the end of its tail danced in the air, raising the surrounding temperature several degrees.
Xiao Bai tried several times to bypass Charizard and rush back into the sea, but each time Charizard anticipated her move and blocked her path with its body.
The more anxious she became, the more flaws she revealed, and the more wounds she sustained.
At this moment, Xiao Bai, who was fighting Charizard, felt the burning pain on his body and was filled with a thousand regrets.
If I had known that this dragon beast's Fire-type was so strong, I shouldn't have fought it on land.
My disadvantages in terms of attributes are simply too great.
If the battlefield were still at sea, even if I were no match for them, I would never have suffered such a humiliating defeat.
The ocean is my true home ground!
Despite being a 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark, its attributes were actually inferior to those of this dragon Beast Martial Soul.
His own Water-type was completely countered by its fire, and in terms of the quality of his Soul Power, he seemed to be completely outmatched.
This made Xiao Bai even more incredulous. How could a dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like himself be inferior to Eight-Ring Soul Douluo Martial Soul terms of Soul Power quality?
She gritted her teeth and desperately channeled her Soul Power, a gray-blue light swirling around her as she tried to withstand the next attack from the Charizard.
However, she had exhausted too much of her Soul Power. Fighting on land was never her strong suit, let alone facing an opponent of this caliber.
Her breathing quickened, her chest heaved violently, and the pain from the Burn on her body further eroded her reason.
Just as a green light appeared on the Dragon Claw of the Mega Charizard, preparing to use Dragon Claw to completely dismantle Xiao Bai's fighting power, a soft sigh suddenly came from afar.
The next moment, accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, a woman dressed in red appeared here at some unknown time, raising her hand to block the Charizard's angry attack for Xiao Bai.
With a flash of red light, Bo Saixi, holding a golden scepter, stood steadily in front of Xiao Bai.
She raised her right hand, and a pale blue light shield spread from her palm, blocking the Charizard's Dragon Claw.
The fair, delicate hand looked vulnerable, but when the Charizard's Dragon Claw met it, it was as if it had sunk into a quagmire, unable to advance an inch.
The Charizard roared and increased the pressure on its Dragon Claw, but Bo Saixi's hand remained unmoved.
Its red eyes were fixed on Bo Saixi, and a low, warning growl came from its throat.
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person's appearance clearly.
High Priest Bo Saixi of Sea God Island.
On the contrary, Xiao Bai, who was hiding behind the high priest, breathed a sigh of relief. Someone had come, and she was saved.
She hid behind Bo Saixi, panting heavily, her long, gray-blue hair draped loosely over her shoulders.
"High Priest, you've come at the right time! This wicked Sea Soul Beast tried to kill the sect leader in the ocean, but fortunately, the sect leader had a trump card to save his life and blocked its attack," Feng Xiaotian complained first.
His voice was loud and confident, and as he spoke, he pointed to the Xiao Bai hiding behind Bo Saixi.
Huo Wu stepped forward, crossed her arms, and chimed in, "That's right. If it weren't for the sect leader's life-saving methods, that attack would have left him severely injured, if not dead."
Shui Yue'er peeked out from behind her sister and whispered, "Yes, we all saw it. She struck first."
Lin Mo continued, "High Priest, please step aside."
Xiaotian's cultivation has just reached a bottleneck, and the arrival of this Sea Soul Beast is timely, allowing the Charizard to kill it and use it as Xiaotian's Seventh Soul Ring.
Martial Soul Avatar at the level of 100,000 years is probably quite impressive!
Lin Mo remained expressionless, his voice calm as if he were stating something utterly ordinary.
His words stunned everyone present.
" Hundred-Thousand-Year Seventh Soul Ring form? Me... me?" Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Feng Xiaotian was stunned into silence.
He was so overwhelmed by this sudden surprise that he didn't even have a chance to politely decline, explaining that he couldn't absorb a Soul Ring of this level.
Huo Wu was already frantically gesturing to him, telling him to back away.
Feng Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly took a few steps back to stand next to Huo Wu.
His heart was pounding; he was both shocked by the sect leader's audacity and saddened by the elusive Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
That's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! Even if it were placed right in front of him, he wouldn't absorb it.
With his current physical condition, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is fine, but if he dares to touch Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, he'll only face certain death.
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Bo Saixi was stunned for a moment before regaining her senses and saying, " Lin Mo, you all have misunderstood."
This is Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King. She is the guardian beast of Sea God Island, not the evil Sea Soul Beast you all claim her to be.
There must be some misunderstanding among you... which has led you to misunderstand her identity!
At this point, Bo Saixi looked like he had a headache.
The Lord Sea God's original plan was simply to have Xiao Bai serve as the instructor for the Second Trial, to examine the strength of Lin Mo and his group in the Ring Sea.
According to the plan, Xiao Bai only needs to create some trouble to test Lin Mo and the others' ability to cope.
But she never expected that Xiao Bai would be so reckless as to use such a heavy hand against Lin Mo. Her first move was a killing blow.
What surprised her even more was that Xiao Bai was no match for Lin Mo's dragon Beast Martial Soul and was completely suppressed by him in such a short time.
If I hadn't arrived in time, Xiao Bai would probably have been severely injured and captured by that dragon beast.
It's unlikely that Lin Mo will kill him on the spot and use him as a Soul Ring, but he will definitely suffer a lot.
This is not suitable.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan are the most steadfast believers of the Lord Sea God among the Sea Soul Beast, and Xiao Bai was once the Lord Sea God's mount.
As the high priestess of Sea God Island, she could not stand idly by.
However, since Xiao Bai is a 100,000-year-old Sea Soul Beast, choosing to transform into human form and fight on land will weaken and limit his own strength in many ways.
But this was still Titled Douluo- level combat power, yet it was defeated so easily by Lin Mo.
Thinking of this, Bo Saixi's gaze lingered on Lin Mo for a moment, then looked at the few eager little guys standing behind him, and felt a sense of helplessness.
These young people are incredibly bold.
However, she also knew that Xiaobai had indeed acted Xiao Bai first, and they were in the wrong.
Bo Saixi's gaze fell on Xiao Bai, a hint of reproach flashing in her eyes.
Xiao Bai lowered his head, not daring to meet Bo Saixi's gaze.
"Really?" Dugu Yan asked, arms crossed, her tone full of suspicion.
As Lin Mo's partner who had been with him day and night for a long time, she naturally understood the purpose of Lin Mo's plan, and at this moment she cooperated with Lin Mo very tacitly.
She stood beside Lin Mo, her emerald green eyes filled with suspicion as she looked Xiao Bai up and down.
Ye Lingling chimed in, "But that attack of hers just now was clearly meant to kill A-Mo."
Huo Wu chimed in, "Exactly. What we saw with our own eyes was that Lin Mo had his own trump card to save his life. If it were us, and we were hit by that attack, we would probably be seriously injured even if we didn't die."
Bo Saixi reminded him helplessly, " Xiao Bai is the instructor in charge of assessing you in the second round. Don't forget the conditions for passing the second round."
Upon hearing Bo Saixi's words, everyone cooperated by adopting a look of regret.
Feng Xiaotian, who had completely come to his senses, displayed an extremely disappointed expression, as if he had missed out on the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
He hung his head, his shoulders slumped, and let out a long sigh, looking utterly dejected.
Huo Wu wanted to laugh, but she held it in and put on a regretful expression.
A short while later, Feng Xiaotian, "Sect Master, what about my Seventh Soul Ring?"
As he spoke, he gazed longingly at Xiao Bai, his eyes filled with Covet.
Feeling Feng Xiaotian's gaze, Xiao Bai felt a surge of anger rising within her, but given that she had acted rashly and had been severely injured by the Charizard, she could only choose to endure it.
She gritted her teeth, her grey-blue eyes filled with Rage, but with Bo Saixi present, she couldn't lash out and could only suppress it.
The young man named Lin Mo looked all smiles, but his eyes were shrewd; he was definitely not someone who could be easily fooled.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
"In that case, how about I make a suggestion and you all think it over?" Bo Saixi said.
All eyes turned to Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi slowly said, "This time, it was indeed Xiao Bai's recklessness that caused this. As compensation, Xiao Bai will be responsible for finding and hunting the next Soul Ring for your companions. How about that?"
The guarantee is that it's within their tolerance limits, and the attributes will be tailored to them as much as possible.
"Are there Fire-type ones too?" Huo Wu asked, frowning.
She didn't want to get a Water-type Soul Ring back, even though the Seventh Soul Ring, no matter what Soul Ring Soul Beast it absorbed, would only have the Soul Skill of the Martial Soul Avatar.
But if possible, she would prefer a Fire-type Soul Ring to serve as her Seventh Soul Ring.
"Yes, there are." Xiao Bai looked up at Huo Wu and said sullenly, "The variety of Sea Soul Beast far surpasses that of land Soul Beast. Sea Soul Beast with both water and fire attributes are rare, but they do exist."
"Near some deep-sea volcanoes live some Sea Soul Beast with Fire-type. Although their flames are not as good as... not as good as this guy's, their quality is still quite good."
As she said this, she glanced at Charizard, her voice clearly reluctant, but since Bo Saixi had already spoken and it was indeed her own recklessness that had led to this, she agreed nonetheless.
Her gaze lingered on Huo Wu for a moment before shifting away, not wanting to look at these humans any longer.
"Not enough."
Lin Mo shook his head. "These alone are not enough. If it's just some Soul Ring, I'll let Charizard go out and catch them himself. It won't take long for him to go back and forth."
His voice was calm, but his words made Xiao Bai's face turn even uglier.
"Then what else do you want?" Xiao Bai asked Lin Mo.
Her voice carried a hint of anger, her grey-blue eyes fixed on Lin Mo: "I admit I was impulsive, but don't push your luck!"
She gritted her teeth and spoke the words slowly and deliberately, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
She was genuinely afraid that Lin Mo would make exorbitant demands and wouldn't let go of her Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Lin Mo smiled, but his gaze towards Xiao Bai immediately turned serious. "First, I need to know why you attacked me earlier."
His gaze was calm, yet it made Xiao Bai feel a strange pressure.
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Xiao Bai remained silent for a long time before finally revealing the reason. "It's all because of the Soul Ring and Soul Bone on your body."
I recently heard that a Soul Master with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone has come to Sea God Island, but I haven't had the chance to meet you yet.
For us Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, killing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that has already possessed intelligence and seizing its Soul Ring and Soul Bone is a grave taboo!
That's why I attacked you.
Her voice carried an air of self-righteousness, as if she were doing something perfectly natural.
She raised her head, a hint of determination flashing in her grey-blue eyes.
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Huo Wu gave a disdainful sneer, " Soul Beast prey on Soul Master, Soul Master hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring. This is just a matter of course!"
"This is the most fundamental rule in the world; I see nothing wrong with it!"
She crossed her arms, a mocking smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with disdain.
Lin Mo waved his hand, signaling everyone not to say anything more, and looked at Xiao Bai, saying thoughtfully, "So that means you knew my identity before you attacked me?"
Xiao Bai nodded subconsciously.
"Knowing that I am the future High Priest of Sea God Island, you still dared to try to kill me, and with a single, deadly move."
At this point, Lin Mo slowed his voice and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Then can I assume that you have already betrayed the Sea God, and that your purpose in coming here is to eliminate me, the future High Priest of Sea God Island?"
Lin Mo's voice wasn't loud, but it struck Xiao Bai's heart like a heavy hammer.
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, not only was Xiao Bai stunned, but everyone else was also taken aback.
That's true, and the logic is sound, but coming from Lin Mo, it just feels a little off.
Xiao Bai instinctively retorted, "I didn't! I didn't!"
Her voice was tinged with obvious panic, and a flicker of fear flashed in her grey-blue eyes.
She has followed the Lord Sea God in battle for many years, and her faith in Lord Sea God has never wavered.
But now, this young man is actually saying she betrayed the Sea God?
This charge is too serious; she can't bear it.
Xiao Bai's face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.
On the other side, Bo Saixi had already seen through Lin Mo's plan and sighed helplessly, "Alright, Lin Mo, stop teasing Xiao Bai."
" Xiao Bai was once the Lord Sea God's mount, following Lord Sea God in battles for many years. In terms of seniority, even I cannot compare to her on this Sea God Island."
Her faith in the Lord Sea God is beyond question; just state your conditions.
Bo Saixi's gaze fell on Lin Mo, a hint of a smile flashing in her deep eyes.
Having lived for so many years, how could she not see that Lin Mo was using this as an excuse to make a fuss?
But she also knew that Xiao Bai had indeed acted recklessly first, and they were in the wrong.
Lin Mo smiled, then slowly extended two fingers and said seriously, word by word, "I need several Soul Bone, each with one Wind-type Soul Bone and one Fire-type Soul Bone, and their quality must be over ten thousand years."
"As the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, these things must be no problem for you, right?" Lin Mo said with a smile, stating his conditions.
His smile was sincere, but in Xiao Bai's eyes, it just looked incredibly irritating.
"Okay, I agree." Xiao Bai gritted her teeth and agreed.
As Lin Mo said, these things are very precious to ordinary Soul Master, but for her, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, they are not worth mentioning.
Although the chances of Soul Beast producing Soul Bone are small, over tens of thousands of years she has accumulated quite a few.
These things were of no use to her to begin with, but now they're being put to good use here.
Just before Xiao Bai turned to leave, Lin Mo slowly spoke, continuing:
"As someone who is both Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and a follower of the Sea God, which do you value more, your identity as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast or your identity as a follower of the Sea God?"
Which of these two identities is more important to you?
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Xiao Bai froze on the spot.
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.
If she valued the identity of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast more, then her attack on Lin Mo because of the death of her kind, though reckless, was understandable.
However, if she values her identity as a follower of the Sea God more, then her killing of the successor of the High Priest of Sea God Island would undoubtedly raise suspicions of betraying the Sea God.
Xiao Bai stood there, her long, gray-blue hair swaying gently in the sea breeze, a look of struggle flashing across her face.
After a long while, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately kept it closed.
After a long silence, she turned and left.
When she reached the beach, she turned back to look at Lin Mo, her gray-blue eyes filled with complex emotions.
Then he leaped into the sea, his grey-blue figure quickly disappearing beneath the shimmering surface.
Only ripples remained, slowly spreading across the sea before finally settling into calm.
Bo Saixi stood there, gazing in the direction where Xiao Bai had disappeared, and sighed softly.
She turned to look at Lin Mo and shook her head. "You're quite the sharp-tongued child."
Lin Mo chuckled but didn't reply.
Bo Saixi shook his head, a flash of red light, and his figure vanished as if he had never been there.
The foot of Sea God Mountain fell silent again, with only the gentle lapping of the waves from the Ring Sea against the shore.
Shui Yue'er jumped out from behind her sister, her eyes sparkling. " Lin Mo, you're so amazing! You made that shark run away with just a few words!"
Huo Wu nodded in agreement. "Exactly, I almost thought you were going to fight the High Priest."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Let's go back and rest first. We can prepare for the Second Trial after Xiao Bai brings the Soul Bone."
A future clash with Bo Saixi is certain, but definitely not now!
The group nodded in agreement and followed Lin Mo towards Seahorse City.
