Chapter 1823: What do you mean?
“Alright, then let’s go right away. Are we going to meet up with your brethren first, then we’ll go and battle the Evil Spirit Orcas together?”
“What do you mean?” the Demon Spirit Great White Shark asked in a perplexed manner.
Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this. “Am I not supposed to help the Demon Spirit Great White Shark Race force back the Evil Spirit Orca Race? So shouldn’t we meet up with your brethren first?”
“Of course not! The divine general protecting this region of the sea told me that only one of us needs to act as a guide for you, and you’ll take care of the rest on your own; my brethren still have other things to take care of,” the Demon Spirit Great White Shark said.
Tang Wulin’s eyelids twitched slightly upon hearing this.
What kind of father would do this to his son? This wasn’t a battle between races; he was expected to take on an entire race on his own!
On land, he naturally wouldn’t be afraid, but in this ocean that wasn’t friendly toward him at all, it would not be easy to force back an entire race of powerful sea soul beasts.
However, he then quickly arrived at a realization.
He was already a Limit Douluo; if he had a huge number of Demon Spirit Great White Sharks to assist him during this trial, then it would be far too easy.
“Alright, then lead the way; we’ll go face the Evil Spirit Orca King!” Tang Wulin said.
“Let’s go! You have to protect me though; the divine general said something about how you’ll fail some trial if you don’t manage to protect me.”
Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this situation. Not only did he have to fight, he also had to babysit! The difficulty of this trial seemed a little high.
A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin’s face as his dragon’s repulse erupted out of his body, and even though he was underwater, he was able to glide forward as if he were walking on land.Thankfully, no restrictions had been placed on his abilities in this trial.
The Demon Spirit Great White Shark quickly caught up to Tang Wulin, and said in a delicate voice, “I’ll be counting on you then.”
Tang Wulin replied, “I’ll do my best. By the way, you say you were a 100,000-year level soul beast, right? How are you in battle? What do you excel in? Let’s devise a plan so we can work together effectively.”
A 100,000-year-old soul beast had to at least possess Titled Douluo level combat prowess. A part of his mission was to protect this Demon Spirit Great White Shark, so he naturally had to familiarize himself with her abilities first.
“Well, in the words of you humans, I’m what’s known as ‘absolute trash’. Basically, I don’t excel in any area other than fleeing. I’m a princess of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark Race, and I’m just a baby; I’m not suited for battle.”
Tang Wulin’s dragon’s repulse rippled, and the surrounding seawater almost leaked through.
What kind of 100,000-year-old soul beast could still be referred to as a baby? At least she was forthcoming with her description of her abilities!
Not only was she not going to be of any help to him, she was most likely going to be a massive hindrance.
Tang Wulin wanted nothing better than to leave her behind. The difficulty of this trial seemed to be increasing by the second!
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you not like me?” the Demon Spirit Great White Shark whined, “My human form is super beautiful! Do you want me to show you? I don’t have any human clothes though; would that be bad?”
“Please don’t,” Tang Wulin sighed in a resigned manner. “You don’t have to do anything; just do whatever I say when the time comes.”
“How could you say that? Are all humans this bad? Just do whatever you say? What if you try to take advantage of me?” the Demon Spirit Great White Shark whined.
“I… Alright, then how about this? You’re really good at running away, right? Once we find the pods of Evil Spirit Orcas, just turn around and flee as far away as possible.”
“I can’t do that! We’re comrades-in-arms, and those orcas are my enemies as well; I can’t just abandon you! I have to fight by your side and witness the moment of triumph!”
“Shut up!” Tang Wulin couldn’t repress his temper anymore. Not only was she useless in battle, she was constantly running her mouth like there was no tomorrow!
Tang Wulin discovered that she was most likely a significant contributor to the difficulty of this sixth trial.
Thankfully, a short while later, Tang Wulin suddenly felt a burst of immense pressure surging toward him from the distance, and as this pressure appeared, all of the seawater around him seemed to have suddenly become filled with malicious intent.
A series of powerful auras could also be detected up ahead.This should be it!
Tang Wulin’s eyes narrowed slightly as he activated his Purple Demon Eyes, and everything up ahead instantly became clearer.
A pod of Evil Spirit Orcas appeared in his field of view in the distance.
These Evil Spirit Orcas were slightly larger than Demon Spirit Great White Sharks, and their bodies were covered in bluish-black patterns that served as extremely effective camouflage in the sea. What was even more notable was that each and every Evil Spirit Orca possessed an extremely powerful aura. Tang Wulin could sense that there were over 100 orcas in that pod, none of which were below the 10,000-year level, and there were about seven or eight of them above the 100,000-year level.
Among them, there was one orca with an unfathomable aura. That was most likely the Evil Spirit Orca King, and it was at least on par in power with a Great Beast.
Of course, they didn’t pose much of a threat to Tang Wulin. With his current level of power, even a Great Beast would be no match for him.
The Demon Spirit Great White Shark stopped in her tracks and cast her gaze toward Tang Wulin, as if to indicate to him that they had arrived at their destination.
And then… she did something that made Tang Wulin’s heart almost jump out of his chest.
She rose up into a vertical position in the water, then curled her caudal fin forward in a provocative gesture while releasing a burst of powerful spiritual intent into the distance.
Essentially, what she was doing would be the equivalent of a human flipping off an opponent and yelling “come and get me!”
Tang Wulin stared at her in a slack-jawed manner while she bared her sharp fangs at him in a sly smile, then instantly turned around and sped back the way they had come, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.
Before Tang Wulin had a chance to do anything, a series of furious and aggressive auras erupted forth from the distance.
The surrounding seawater instantly congealed, and enormous pressure surged toward Tang Wulin from all directions. A group of massive Evil Spirit Orcas were already flying toward him in a frenzy, and Tang Wulin really wanted to tell them that it wasn’t him who had provoked them, but that clearly wouldn’t do anything.
He really wanted to give that Demon Spirit Great White Shark a vicious beating!
A resigned look appeared on his face as his body began to undergo a transformation. A series of golden scales appeared as he unleashed his Golden Dragon Body, and at the same time, he began to swell in size, transforming into a dragon.
That’s right, he was going to battle these Evil Spirit Orcas in his Golden Dragon King form!
Incredibly powerful blood essence fluctuations erupted from Tang Wulin’s body, forming a halo that illuminated a large section of the sea with bright golden light.
In this form, his body was over 100 meters in length and was covered in thick and heavy scales, presenting a very intimidating sight to behold.
The oncoming Evil Spirit Orcas sensed his powerful aura and immediately slowed down while appraising him from not far away.
Tang Wulin folded his wings against his own back as they weren’t going to serve any purpose in an underwater battle anyway.
He then took a moment to briefly familiarize himself with this form.
He very rarely used this form in battle; the last time he did seemed to be when he had transformed into the Golden Blood Dragon and attacked the Spirit Pagoda on the Dou Spirit Continent.
