Xiao Bai noticed his hesitation and spoke up, "Benefactor, does your sister need to acquire a soul ring for a breakthrough? I can help."
"Hmm?" Dongfang Jing looked at her, "Aren't you... all soul beasts?"
Xiao Bai shook her head, her tone calm:
"It's normal for soul beasts to prey on each other. As long as it's not one of my kind, it doesn't matter."
"That's great!" Dongfang Jing didn't mince words, "My sister's martial soul is the Star Sword, which requires a soul ring at least six hundred years old, preferably with compatible attributes."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yao immediately summoned her own Star Sword martial soul.
Xiao Bai moved closer, examining it carefully.
She felt an indescribable sense of mystery.
She nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
She snapped her fingers crisply, summoning several members of her clan, and gave commands to the great white shark in the sea in a language only they could understand.
Upon receiving the command, the great white sharks immediately flicked their tail fins, submerged in the deep water, and swiftly swam away into the distance.
Xiao Bai explained, "I sent them to search the nearby waters. We're very familiar with this area; they should be able to bring back suitable items soon."
"Thank you," Dongfang Jing sincerely thanked him.
"You're too kind, benefactor. This small matter is insignificant compared to your life-saving grace to so many of my people."
Xiao Bai said, turning her gaze to Dongfang Jing with a hint of curiosity: "And you, benefactor? It seems you've also reached a bottleneck requiring the acquisition of a soul ring to break through?"
Dongfang Jing simply smiled faintly, pointing to the ten-thousand-year-old demonic orca.
Dongfang Yao immediately understood her brother's intention, her face paling, and she cried out anxiously, "Brother! You don't mean to..."
Dongfang Jing raised his hand, stopping her from continuing: "Don't worry, I'm confident."
Seeing his resolute gaze, Dongfang Yao swallowed back the words of advice she was about to utter.
Xiao Bai, standing nearby, frowned. She stepped forward and earnestly advised, "My benefactor, a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast and a thousand-year-old soul beast are completely different concepts. A hundred years to a thousand years is a qualitative change, and a thousand years to ten thousand years is an insurmountable leap. Not to mention the impact of that immense energy on the body, you can't even withstand the soul shock generated when a soul beast dies?"
Her words suddenly stopped.
No wonder it was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized.
This young man before her couldn't be judged by ordinary standards!
Her benefactor's mental strength seemed ridiculously strong!
And although she had only witnessed it once, that skill of disintegrating and then reassembling his own body seemed to greatly offset the energy impact!
Xiao Bai's gray-blue eyes widened suddenly.
She took a slight breath, no longer trying to dissuade him: "If you've made up your mind, I can protect you."
Dongfang Jing shook his head: "My spiritual power hasn't fully recovered yet; absorbing it now is too risky. I'll trouble you again tomorrow. Now, can you tell me about this soul tremor?"
Night deepened, and a cool sea breeze swept across the deck.
The group chatted with Xiaobai for a long time,from soul tremors to the tribulations and transformation secrets of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and the strict trial rules of Seagod Island.
Under the campfire's glow, though they were of different races, they talked happily.
"The islanders of Seagod Island must undergo a test at the age of eighteen. Only those who pass can stay and serve the Seagod. Those who fail will be expelled, and may even lose their lives. Outsider Soul Masters, regardless of age, must directly undergo the test. Once they pass, they are forbidden from leaving the island for life, or they will incur the Seagod's wrath."
She looked at Dongfang Jing and earnestly advised, "Although you possess spatial power, my benefactor, your strength is still insufficient. The Seagod's test is especially difficult for land-based Soul Masters, and they may very well lose their lives! Therefore, this place is not suitable for training."
Dongfang Jing nodded, having already given up the idea of trying.
Being trapped in one place forever was not what he sought.
"Besides the Sea God, are there other gods? Like the Fire God, the Wind God?" he asked curiously.
Xiao Bai shook her head: "Perhaps there are, I don't know. I was once the Sea God's mount, and now I merely obey His will to guard Sea God Island."
She glanced at the sky, rose, and walked to the side of the ship: "It's getting late. My people should be able to bring suitable soul beasts tomorrow. You should all rest well and recharge."
With that, she leaped into the sea, her graceful figure emitting a bright light, transforming into a giant shark.
After a slight nod to Dongfang Jing, she dived into the depths.
Only the Dongfang siblings remained on the deck.
Zi Zhenzhu said she was going to make some midnight snacks, so she needed to borrow a light.
She borrowed a Demon Soul Great White Shark from Xiao Bai and had been missing for several hours.
"Brother, isn't starting a fire just a flint and steel? Why do we need that shark?" Dongfang Yao rubbed her eyes sleepily.
The shark that Purple Pearl borrowed was a special mutated demonic soul great white shark, possessing fire attributes completely opposite to those of seawater!
Dongfang Jing shook his head; he couldn't understand it either.
Seeing his sister yawning repeatedly, he said softly, "Go back to your room and sleep first. I'll wait for Sister Pearl."
After his sister left, Dongfang Jing, having slept during the day, wasn't sleepy.
Just as he was about to cultivate to pass the time, he saw Purple Pearl approaching with a bowl.
"Sister Pearl, where have you been?"
Purple Pearl smiled without answering, sitting down beside him and handing him the bowl: "Try it, I put a lot of effort into making this!"
Dongfang Jing took it and looked at the contents.
Inside was a mass of soft, dark yellow gelatinous substance, with a rich aroma but a peculiar texture.
Dongfang Jing, a frequent cook with top-notch culinary skills, had never seen such food before.
Could this thing really be eaten?
"What? Afraid your sister will poison you?" Purple Pearl frowned, hands on her hips, and scolded playfully. "This is good stuff! Eat it before it solidifies, or are you unwilling to give your sister face?"
Having said that, Dongfang Jing couldn't refuse.
Besides, they were sworn brothers; surely she wouldn't harm him now?
Thinking this, he scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth.
The strong, fishy smell made him frown, almost spitting it out.
But then, the fishy smell transformed into a warm current flowing into his stomach.
After entering his stomach, a faint fragrance lingered, emanating from his nostrils—a truly wondrous sensation.
After just one bite, Dongfang Jing felt a heat rising in his chest and abdomen; after another bite, the intense heat began to flow through his limbs and bones,causing his fair skin to flush slightly.
Seeing this, Purple Pearl narrowed her eyes slightly: "Little Mirror, what do you think?"
"Hmm, to be honest, the taste isn't that great, but it really feels nourishing! I only ate two bites, and I'm already full of energy! Sister Pearl, what exactly is this?"
Purple Pearl smiled slyly, becoming less pretentious: "Whale glue! I even borrowed that fire-attribute demon soul great white shark to melt it~"
