Ning Liu's command was concise and cold, just like the strike he had just unleashed, without the slightest hesitation.
Xu Jiushi and the others agreed and began to clear out the remaining evil orcas.
Having lost their king and terrified by the devastating scene, the remaining horde of demonic orcas was no longer a threat, turning into a complete massacre.
"My lord, the ox."
Xu Jiushi put away his Martial Soul True Form and moved closer to Ning Liu.
"If you had been half a second slower, we would all probably have been drinking a pot of scalding hot bath water right here."
He was referring, of course, to the self-destruction of the Demon Orca King.
Dugu Bo also floated over, his dark green eyes flashing with complex light. He glanced at Ning Liu's still calm left arm, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Master... what exactly is the origin of your two soul bones?"
The mental shock instantly froze a 100,000-year-old soul beast, followed by a strike that disintegrated and annihilated it.
This method has exceeded the conventional understanding of a Title Douluo.
Ning Liu did not answer directly, but smiled faintly, his gaze falling on the huge corpse that had been split in two and was slowly sinking.
"Wouldn't it be a huge waste to let such a ferocious beast self-destruct?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a deep red soul ring slowly rise from the mangled corpse of the Demon Orca King.
A 100,000-year soul ring!
Ning Liu extended his right hand, and the Empty Dream Sword quietly appeared in his palm.
The sword hummed softly, as if yearning for something, radiating a strong attraction to the 100,000-year-old soul ring.
He killed it himself, naturally for the sake of this spirit ring.
Preventing the self-destruction was not only to protect everyone, but also to preserve the spoils of war.
Just as Ning Liu was about to activate his spirit ring, Xiao Bai stepped forward. Her face was still wet with tears, but her eyes had regained their determination and clarity.
She gave Ning Liu a deep look, her eyes filled with so much—gratitude, awe, and utter submission.
"Sect Leader Ning,"
Xiao Bai's voice was extremely solemn.
"The seawater here is polluted by the blood of my people and the blood of my enemies, and its energy is violent and chaotic. It is not a good place to absorb soul rings."
"If you do not wish to abandon me, please climb onto my back. I will protect you and use the essence of water from my Demon Soul Great White Shark clan to shield you from external interference."
Without waiting for Ning Liu's reply, she leaped into the sea.
"Splash—"
With a deafening roar, the sea surface split open, revealing a gigantic white shark over twenty meters long, its entire body crystal clear, as if sculpted from the purest crystal.
It is none other than the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Little White's true form!
Her massive body swayed in the water, yet she appeared incredibly graceful.
The enormous head lowered gently, approaching the ship's railing, its bright eyes gazing at Ning Liu with sincerity and pleading.
Using its own body as a mount to protect others is the highest respect and trust that a soul beast can express to a human.
Ning Liu looked at her, and after a moment, nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."
With a swift movement, he landed lightly on Little White's broad, flat back and sat down cross-legged.
Little White let out a joyful whimper, and a soft blue halo immediately rippled around her, forming a giant bubble that enveloped Ning Liu and herself.
The boiling seawater, the stench of blood, and the violent energy outside were instantly shut out, leaving only a tranquil blue expanse.
Without further hesitation, Ning Liu summoned the domineering 100,000-year soul ring, which was drawn towards him by an invisible force.
At the same time, the marks on the foreheads of Xiao Wu, Yang Bubai, Shui Bing'er, and others all emitted a dazzling golden light!
A majestic and grand voice resounded directly in their minds, crystal clear:
"The fourth test of the Sea God: to annihilate the horde of evil orca whales. Passed."
"You have exceeded expectations in slaying the Demonic Orca King, resulting in an improved performance evaluation. Rewards include a 15% increase in Sea God Affinity, a 1-level increase in Soul Power, and a 1000-year increase in the age of all your Soul Rings!"
This was Xiao Wu's reward; her aura surged, and her soul power instantly broke through from level 73 to level 74.
The key point is that her affinity with the sea god has reached 70%!
Although the others did not receive such high rewards, they all increased their soul power by one level!
Shui Bing'er and Yang Bubai both stepped from level 57 to level 58.
The one who changed the most was Xu Jiushi.
That's right, he also received the reward of increased soul power!
However, these titled Douluo-level guardians only gained a little bit!
It's simply because he was already at the peak of level 97, only a hair's breadth away from level 98.
With the boost of this divine energy, his bottleneck was instantly broken! A more powerful and majestic aura erupted from his body, causing the surrounding seawater to churn.
Level 98!
"I...I...I...I broke through?"
Xu Jiushi felt the surging and roaring soul power within his body.
"Hahahaha! I'm a level 98 Super Douluo now!"
"Following the lord is so great!" Xu Jiushi grinned foolishly. "Leveling up is as easy as eating and drinking. I never dared to dream of this before."
Dugu Bo watched from the side, his eyes twitching.
Xiao Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Yang Bubai also had joyful expressions on their faces.
Especially Yang Bubai, although his face was still expressionless, the hands that gripped the spear tightly and the slightly shining eyes revealed his inner excitement.
