Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi

Above the edge of Sea God Island, a woman hovered in midair. A man floated there as well, directly in her path.

The woman appeared to be no more than thirty or so. Her features were gentle and beautiful, though not breathtakingly so, but her bearing was noble and graceful, with a warm, soothing gentleness.

Her entire body was covered by a bright red robe, and her long, sea-blue hair cascaded down her back. In her right hand, she held a golden scepter three meters long, engraved from end to end with demonic patterns. At its head was a diamond-shaped protrusion like a spearhead. Five inches below its tip, a diamond-shaped golden gemstone was set into the scepter.

This was the strongest person on Sea God Island, Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, and one of the three Peak Douluo of the present age.

The man strong enough to stand in her way was naturally another of the three Peak Douluo: Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined of Spirit Hall.

Bo Saixi's face was covered in frost, and her voice was ice-cold. "Qian Daoliu, are you going to stop me?"

Qian Daoliu's expression was calm, his hands clasped behind his back. "Bo Saixi, we haven't seen each other in many years. Let's talk!"

Bo Saixi said, "Sea God Island's guardian beast is dead. I have to go take a look. I'm in no mood to talk to you."

"That little shark?" Qian Daoliu asked.

"That's right."

Qian Daoliu nodded, but he did not move out of Bo Saixi's way.

After all, the Demon Soul Great White Shark was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and only a Titled Douluo had the strength to kill it. Of the Titled Douluo in the vicinity, aside from Sea God Island's five great lords, there were only the elders of Spirit Hall.

Sea God Island's Titled Douluo would not kill its guardian beast. In other words, the one who killed the Demon Soul Great White Shark could only have been from Spirit Hall.

"You won't move?" Bo Saixi asked coldly, an overbearing majesty radiating from her.

Of course, Qian Daoliu paid it no mind. He said calmly, "I don't want to fight you, but as long as I'm here, you won't get past."

Qian Daoliu was known as invincible in the sky. If he was determined to stop Bo Saixi, there really was nothing she could do about it.

Bo Saixi said, "It seems your Spirit Hall is determined to destroy Sea God Island!"

Qian Daoliu said, "I'm only the Great Enshrined of Spirit Hall. The Pope insists on bringing Sea God Island under his command, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Bo Saixi sneered. "Isn't the Pope your son? Without your permission, would Spirit Hall have made such a major move? And why else would you be here?"

Qian Daoliu did not answer, responding only with silence.

After a long while, he finally said, "How about we make an agreement?"

"What kind of agreement?"

"I can let you pass, but afterward, you must not attack Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo. In return, I won't attack the people of Sea God Island."

"And if I refuse?" Bo Saixi asked.

"Then I'll have to stop you myself and keep you from interfering with the battlefield," Qian Daoliu replied.

"If a fight is unavoidable, why waste any more words?"

Bo Saixi spoke sharply, then flew swiftly toward Qian Daoliu and thrust her scepter straight at him.

But Qian Daoliu reacted quickly as well. Six golden, feathered wings appeared behind him in an instant, and a gentle flap carried him away from the spot.

"Wait. How about I add another condition?"

It was clear that Qian Daoliu truly did not want to fight.

"What is it?" Bo Saixi asked.

"Spirit Hall has only sent the people currently attacking Sea God Island. As long as Sea God Island can hold out this time, Spirit Hall will not set foot on the island again in my lifetime."

Bo Saixi thought for a moment, then nodded. "Fine, it's a deal. Can you move aside now?"

Qian Daoliu nodded and stepped aside, letting Bo Saixi fly past.

"After all this time, they should have had enough time to remove the Soul Bone, right?"

For a Soul Master, if the things they desired most were ranked in order...

First would be a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Unlike ten-thousand-year and Thousand-Year Soul Rings, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring possessed two powerful Soul Skills. Most importantly, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, only a Titled Douluo might, through a lucky chance, be able to obtain a red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as their Ninth Soul Ring.

Close behind it was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Like a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, it also possessed two Soul Skills.

Both, of course, came from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Now that the corpse of one lay right in front of Jun Yan, he naturally would not miss the Soul Bone it was guaranteed to produce.

Jun Yan used Wood Release to pull the Demon Soul Great White Shark's corpse out of the water, then searched it. He soon found a miniature left leg bone.

The left leg bone was perfectly intact and a deep blue throughout, emanating dense water-attribute energy.

Without giving it much thought, Jun Yan placed the Soul Bone beside his own left leg and channeled energy from the Demon Soul Great White Shark's Soul Ring into it.

Hum-

A faint humming sounded, and Jun Yan's left leg trembled slightly. Immediately afterward, a cool sensation silently seeped into it from every direction. The crystalline blue Soul Bone quietly vanished, turning into countless streams of deep blue air that spread around his left leg.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark's Soul Bone had two Soul Skills, one active and one passive.

Despair Light Wave: released a blue ripple. Any enemy caught within it would be unable to move, and all their Soul Skills would be briefly sealed.

Water Element Affinity: granted immunity to the vast majority of water-attribute attacks and increased the power of the user's own water-attribute Soul Skills.

"What a shame!"

After learning what Soul Skills the Soul Bone had granted him, Jun Yan sighed softly.

Water Element Affinity was useful, but he did not rely on water-attribute abilities! Besides, after eating the octagonal mysterious ice grass, he was already immune to the vast majority of water-attribute attacks.

"Forget it. It's better than nothing! At least my Soul Power also rose by three levels."

After Jun Yan obtained his Seventh Soul Ring, the effects of the immortal herb and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had raised his Soul Power by four levels. Now it had risen another three. He had only just become a Soul Saint a month ago, yet his Soul Power had already reached level seventy-seven.

But Jun Yan still felt it was a little slow and was even somewhat worried. "After so many lucky opportunities, my Soul Power has only risen this much. It won't get slower and slower from here, will it?"

"Forget it. It's too early to think about that now."

Jun Yan used the Summoning Technique to call the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger over, then said to him, "This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's body is still useful. It's yours."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger increased his strength by devouring other Soul Beasts or Soul Masters. Although Jun Yan had already absorbed the Demon Soul Great White Shark's most valuable Soul Bone and Soul Ring, its body, which had been nourished by Soul Power for a hundred thousand years, was still of some use to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Roar!" (At least you've got some conscience. I didn't work myself half to death for you in vain.) Then the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger swallowed the Demon Soul Great White Shark's corpse whole.

Jun Yan leaped onto the Azure Baleful Eagle's back, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger took to the air as well. The three soon left the area.

Not long after Jun Yan departed, Bo Saixi flew there too. Unfortunately, not only did she fail to find the killer, she could not even find the Demon Soul Great White Shark's corpse.
