Chapter 109 - Inviting the Next Victim

"Who is that person?"

Tang Hao seemed to see hope.

His right arm had been severed, his soul power had dropped to Soul Douluo level, and he had thought that all hopes of revenge in this life were gone.

"Back then, Dugu Bo mentioned at the Tian Dou Royal Academy that Zhou Sidong saved his life. Not long ago, our Shrek Academy traitor Zhu Zhuqing suddenly broke through from the 29th to the 40th level of soul power, and even reached a millennial level in the fourth soul ring. I think… this must be due to Dugu Bo's divine-grade herbs!"

Tang San spoke with absolute certainty. Thinking of Zhu Zhuqing and Zhou Sidong gaining such immense strength—so much so that even Dai Mubai and he together would no longer be Zhu Zhuqing's match—he was overwhelmed with guilt and frustration.

"Dad! I'll go to the Tian Dou Royal Academy to demand the divine herb from Zhou Sidong right now!"

At that moment, Tang San had been completely clouded by rage, unable to think clearly. The divine-grade herb for the Ice-Fire Two Poles Eye had always belonged to him, yet Zhou Sidong had hoarded all of it, leaving not a single stem!

Such a person—undoubtedly courting death!

"Wait!"

Tang Hao shouted: "What will going there achieve? Even if Zhou Sidong has the divine herb, would he really give it to you?"

"I…"

Tang San knelt before his father, overwhelmed by grief, tears streaming down his face, feeling utterly useless.

If only he had listened to Dean Flander earlier and left to avoid burdening his father…

"Xiao San, you need to stay calm and think. Your teacher was just hurled by me. If nothing unexpected happened… I guess the rest of Yu Xiaogang's life is completely ruined."

Tang Hao sighed lightly, though it had been unintentional.

Tang San froze in shock. "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

"When your teacher flew here, I clearly sensed the massive power he carried. This means that someone on the other side must have kicked your teacher again," Tang Hao analyzed.

"Damn it!" Tang San's anger boiled. His teacher had been brutally harmed like that—if it were him, he wouldn't have survived without losing half his life.

Tang Hao continued: "Given this back-and-forth, I imagine Master must be somewhere in Tian Dou City, in critical condition, with every bone in his body broken. But there's one small comfort—Master has a thick face; even my hand holding the Hao Tian Hammer went numb from the impact."

Tang San: "…"

The next morning.

Flander immediately mobilized all the school's faculty and students to search the city for Yu Xiaogang.

Finally, in an alley piled with trash, they found him.

Yu Xiaogang was already buried under the garbage, reeking horribly. As Tang Hao had said, his bones were shattered, and he was clinging to life!

Flander immediately ordered him to be carried back and summoned the best doctors in Tian Dou City to treat him.

Qian Renxue Mansion.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing stared at a right-arm bone handed to her by Bibi Dong. For some reason, a strange numbness crept over her.

"Aunt…" Zhu Zhuqing hesitated under Bibi Dong's warning gaze. "Mom, where did this soul bone come from?"

The bone had fallen from Tang Hao and was part of the Haotian Sect's inherited soul bones.

"Found it outside. A disciple went hunting soul beasts and accidentally obtained this bone. I thought it was of good quality, so I gave it to you. Absorb it quickly," Bibi Dong said, placing the bone in Zhu Zhuqing's hands.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing understood true generosity!

A soul bone given just like that—and its quality rivaled the Blue Silver King's right leg bone that Zhou Sidong had once given her!

"This… it's too precious. I can't accept it."

Since being with Zhou Sidong, Zhu Zhuqing had received so much she couldn't repay—divine herbs, soul bones, and now another!

"Zhuqing, to be honest, Sidong's strength isn't just at the Soul Sect level—it's beyond that," Bibi Dong revealed.

"Beyond the Soul Sect!" Zhu Zhuqing was shocked.

"Yes," Bibi Dong smiled slightly, then patted her shoulder with a serious tone: "Your strength is good among your peers, but there's still a long way to go to match Sidong. Since this soul bone is given to you, it will not be taken back. To truly match Sidong, the only path is to increase your soul power. Do you understand?"

Bibi Dong's method worked. Zhu Zhuqing felt a bitter pang in her heart. She had thought reaching a millennial fourth ring would let her stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Sidong, but he had always hidden his true strength.

She realized she wasn't quite worthy of him—a man so outstanding, admired by all women, yet she had intercepted him. She didn't know what advantage she had to claim him.

Zhu Zhuqing looked down instinctively. She understood.

"Then… I humbly accept," she said, taking the soul bone.

"Mom, where did Sidong go? I didn't see him this morning," Zhu Zhuqing asked.

Bibi Dong smiled: "He went to accompany his sister to the family. He has an important business matter to handle."

After learning Zhou Sidong's whereabouts, Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the soul bone under Bibi Dong's protection.

"You really gave this soul bone to Zhuqing… truly unexpected," Bibi Dong said, glancing at the two standing outside, Jue and Gui, both Title Douluos.

Tang Hao's right arm had been severed; they had brought the bone back.

Bibi Dong didn't yet decide who would keep it, but Jue and Gui suggested giving it to Zhu Zhuqing.

Bibi Dong knew immediately—they were preparing for Zhu Zhuqing to become their disciple.

Jue and Gui lowered their heads silently.

"I hope that after joining the Spirit Hall, Zhuqing will take one of you as her master," Bibi Dong sighed, then picked up Xiao An, who had been sitting, and went to the hall to look toward the sea.

"Xiao An, looking forward to your new friend?" Bibi Dong smiled, ruffling his head.

"Meow!" (Inviting the next victim!) Xiao An thought bitterly.

After a morning of absorption, Zhu Zhuqing finally absorbed Tang Hao's original right-arm bone, raising her soul power from level 43 to 46.

After bidding farewell to Bibi Dong, Zhu Zhuqing left the mansion.

Since Zhou Sidong was across the continent, Bibi Dong had Yue Guan secretly protect Zhu Zhuqing from Tian Dou City to the Tian Dou Royal Academy, much to Gui Mei's envy.

Seeing Yue Guan's smiling face as he left, Gui Mei had the urge to slap him!

"Those two treasures," Bibi Dong chuckled, carrying Xiao An into the hall.

With Yue Guan's escort, Zhu Zhuqing safely reached the Tian Dou Royal Academy.

Half a month later…

Zhou Sidong stood above the ocean, facing the endless sea. The blue waters were crystal clear, and the sea breeze, salty and refreshing, lifted his spirits!

It was his first time seeing the ocean on Douluo Continent!

Free from the pollution of the previous life, the sea was pure, teeming with sea soul beasts, many species Zhou Sidong had never seen before.

"Xiaoxue, locate the Evil Tiger Whale King," Zhou Sidong said.

"Received! Searching now!"

Xiaoxue emerged from Zhou Sidong's brow, her eyes sparkling brilliantly.

The underwater scene was fully visible to her.

"Found it! Five hundred li east. The Evil Tiger Whale King is leading its group in battle against the Devil Soul Great White Sharks!"

"Battle?"

Zhou Sidong paused. Evil Tiger Whales and Devil Soul Great White Sharks were top predators, second only to Deep Sea Demon Whale Kings.

And they often fought to the death—a common occurrence in the soul beast world.

Survival of the fittest is the law of nature.

Golden angel wings unfurled behind Zhou Sidong, the Blue Silver King's right leg bone shining, as he flew rapidly toward the battlefield.

The fight had reached its peak.

The blue ocean had turned red with blood. The two clans fought fiercely, killing relentlessly!

The Devil Soul Great White Sharks had silver-white skin with golden patterns, while the Evil Tiger Whales were almost twice as large, muscular, and gray-black. Their heads were huge, jaws revealing blade-like teeth, and dark red eyes radiated ferocity.

An adult Evil Tiger Whale was 20–25 meters long; the Evil Tiger Whale King reached an astonishing 30 meters!

One Evil Tiger Whale could match two Devil Soul Great White Sharks, putting the sharks at a disadvantage!

"Evil Tiger! Die!"

The lead Devil Soul Great White Shark spoke, swinging its hook-like tail to kill two millennial Evil Tiger Whales!

"Xiaobai! I'll kill you!"

The Evil Tiger Whale King glowed with scarlet lights, easily annihilating two 50,000-year Devil Soul Great White Sharks!

This brutal battle raged on. Soul beasts fought without human cunning—only survival through killing, the only truth after millennia of growth.

Zhou Sidong arrived, seeing the blood-red sea and floating corpses. His scalp tingled.

"Dongdong, fish in troubled waters!" Xiaoxue suddenly suggested.

"You mean, the soul beast corpses… their soul bones!" Zhou Sidong's eyes brightened. He rubbed his hands, secretly diving among the corpses while the clans battled.

After searching for a long time, Zhou Sidong managed to find just two: a 50,000-year Evil Tiger Whale left arm bone and a 30,000-year Devil Soul Great White Shark skull bone.

The drop rate of soul bones was extremely low!

Zhou Sidong emerged from the sea, feeling awkward.

He realized he was between the Evil Tiger Whale King and the Devil Soul Great White Shark.

Seeing a human appear, holding two bones from their clans, the leaders' fury ignited!

"Damn human! Stealing while I battle Xiaobai!" roared the Evil Tiger Whale King.

"Die!" the Devil Soul Great White Shark King gathered energy.

"No choice, Xiaoxue, freeze time!"

Zhou Sidong said helplessly.

Everything paused—the two kings and their fighting clans.

"Those guys!"

Zhou Sidong shook his head, placing the bones in the soul-guiding ring, and flew before the Evil Tiger Whale King.

"小 Golden, show your real strength!" he joked.

"I'm not your Tartarus!" Xiaoxue pouted, then placed her hand on the Evil Tiger Whale King's head.

In an instant, the paused king's memories surged.

"Evil Tiger Whale King! Die!"

A blue-haired youth appeared in his mind, backed by Xiaobai leading the Devil Soul Great White Sharks. Hundreds of Evil Tiger Whales fell, the sea turning red.

The sharks won, led by seven humans.

And the king would become that youth's soul ring and soul bone!

Anger, frustration, killing intent—all surged. The king thrashed, sending waves sky-high.

"Heir of the Sea God! Xiaobai! I'll kill you!"

Witnessing his "death" and his clan's, he hated the blue-haired youth even more. That was indeed the Sea God's heir!

Xiaobai, as the Sea God's mount, had its role in the battle.

"Human! Who are you? Did you make me see that?"

Zhou Sidong smiled: "That's years from now. As you saw, you'll become that boy's soul ring and bone, and your clan will perish—only one or two escape!"

"What do you want?"

The Evil Tiger Whale King glared. Surrounded and frozen, it couldn't act.

This human could pause time—unthinkable!

Although it wanted to kill Xiaobai, it first listened.

"Want revenge?" Zhou Sidong asked.

"Of course! Who is that human? Where is he?"

"Work with me. Lead your clan out of the sea and follow me," Zhou Sidong offered.

"Follow you?"

The king realized this human came for him.

"Why follow you?"

"Fine, don't. I've told you what you need to know. When that person kills you in the future, don't blame me," Zhou Sidong shrugged.

"I'll kill Xiaobai now!" The king intended to attack frozen Xiaobai.

But Zhou Sidong commanded Xiaoxue to act.

A twisted space opened, sucking in water. It was Xiaoxue's storage space, holding anything.

Even Tang San's mother was inside!

The Devil Soul Great White Shark King was sucked in, the space closed, and it disappeared.

"Done! We've taken the king. Its clan doesn't matter—too many is troublesome," Xiaoxue said, clapping.

"You… took Xiaobai. How?"

To the king, Zhou Sidong had simply waved—Xiaobai was gone into a special space. Only Zhou Sidong could see Xiaoxue.

"Enough talk," Zhou Sidong waved.

"Taking a 100,000-year Devil Soul Great White Shark King is a big gain," Xiaoxue smiled.

"Won't the Sea God notice? We took the island's guardian beast…" Zhou Sidong asked.

"Relax!" Xiaoxue smiled proudly. "Would the Sea God care in the future? Better we take it than it dies later in another whale king's mouth."

"True!"

Zhou Sidong nodded. No point worrying about the Sea God now.

Tang San's fate in this world was gone, as Xiaoxue had proven in Sunset Forest. Those following him would continue to suffer.

Better to leave him alive to endure all hardships before finishing him—kill the heart first, then the body!

"You're leaving?"

The Evil Tiger Whale King looked at Zhou Sidong.

"Why stay? You won't follow me."

As Zhou Sidong was leaving, the king said: "I… will follow you."

Zhou Sidong's heart leapt, though his face remained calm.

"Why now decide to follow me?"

"To save myself. You took Xiaobai, the island's guardian beast. If discovered, I'd be the first to die!"

The king had reason. This human seemed mysterious, with skills beyond expectation—maybe following him would lead to success.

"Welcome, Evil Tiger Whale King," Zhou Sidong smiled.
