Chapter 3: Daring to Enter the Evil Tiger Whale Domain
After looking at his three forms, the half-human form and beast form were within Ye Wen's expectations.
His attention was mostly on his human form, which delighted him: "Soul power level 10, innate full soul power—this was expected. Even the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu, after transforming, had innate full soul power, so it makes sense for a powerful creature like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who is almost a million years old, to have it too!"
"But I didn't expect my transformation to come with the soul bones from my beast form! The Million-Year-Old Deep Sea Spine Bone is the King of Bones! And these two soul bone skills are incredibly strong!"
"Nice! Now it's time to absorb my soul ring. I wonder how many years the first soul ring for my human form will be."
Ye Wen sat cross-legged on the sea surface, full of anticipation.
After a soul beast transforms into a human, their cultivation differs slightly from humans.
Humans hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings after hitting a cultivation bottleneck, but a transformed soul beast creates their own soul rings once they hit a bottleneck.
It's less complicated; the soul ring formed will be the highest age the beast can bear, and it will perfectly match their capabilities—similar to a god-bestowed soul ring.
Soon, a massive amount of soul power began to gather around Ye Wen, merging into his body, until it formed a soul ring circling him.
It was a white ten-year soul ring!
But the soul ring continued absorbing energy, its color deepening until it became yellow, a hundred-year soul ring!
The color kept changing until it finally stopped at purple, a thousand-year soul ring!
With a loud bang, the energy shockwave spread, and Ye Wen opened his eyes, very pleased: "Unbelievable, my first soul ring is actually 4,000 years!"
"My soul power has jumped directly from level 10 to level 14."
He quickly checked his human form's first soul skill: "Oh? Magic Whale Armor, a self-enhancement skill. It boosts strength, speed, and physical abilities by 100%, increases all soul skill damage by 30%, and reduces soul skill damage by 30%. Not bad! The effects are really good!"
Ye Wen was very satisfied. If his first soul skill had been an offensive one, it would have allowed him to perform cross-level kills with powerful soul skills.
But enhancing himself also greatly increased his combat ability. With more offensive soul rings in the future, he'd become even stronger.
"Not bad, not bad. Now, let's meet the Evil Tiger Whale King."
Ye Wen smiled, switched back to his Deep Sea Demon Whale King form, and left the territory of the Magic Whale Sea.
His speed was astonishing, as if a rocket, rushing across the surface of the sea in an instant.
"This... What is this!?"
"Is it... the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!?"
"Quick! Run!"
All the sea soul beast groups Ye Wen passed saw him and were so terrified that they fled in all directions.
Ye Wen merely glanced at them indifferently, not paying any attention.
An octopus demon fish, with a cultivation of 60,000 years, passed by him, all its tentacles trembling in fear. Its heart was shaken as it nervously thought: "Isn't the Deep Sea Demon Whale King supposed to be lazy and never leave its Magic Whale Sea? Why is it out today?"
Soon, news of Ye Wen leaving the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's domain began to spread across the ocean.
Before long, Ye Wen arrived at the Evil Tiger Whale King's domain.
Upon entering, he immediately encountered a few just-matured Evil Tiger Whales.
Adult Evil Tiger Whales can grow to be between 20 and 25 meters long, a massive size. But compared to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which is 200 meters long, they appeared very small.
Evil Tiger Whales were a highly bloodthirsty and vicious species of sea soul beast. They roamed the seas unchecked, looking down on all other sea soul beasts.
But at that moment, these few Evil Tiger Whales showed expressions of utter fear.
What the hell kind of sea soul beast is this!?
It's so huge! Bigger than our king!!
Every sea soul beast in the ocean had heard of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but very few had actually seen it.
These few Evil Tiger Whales hadn't recognized Ye Wen yet, but they could feel an overwhelming power emanating from him.
"Hey! You guys, go get your leader. I need to talk to him."
The Evil Tiger Whales were very wary but also showed a fierce expression. Their Tiger Whale Domain didn't allow other powerful soul beasts to invade. Ye Wen entering their territory was already a provocation to their entire group.
In their eyes, Ye Wen must have come to stir up trouble.
"How dare you! Our king isn't someone you can see just because you want to! Leave this sea area immediately, or you will face the wrath of our Evil Tiger Whale tribe!"
"Heh, you guys?"
Seeing Ye Wen not retreating but advancing, the Evil Tiger Whales' murderous intent surged, and they opened their ferocious jaws to attack.
"Kill him!"
"Looking for death!"
Ye Wen wasn't here to socialize; he came to subdue his future subordinates. He wasn't going to indulge these future underlings.
He flicked his tail, and the terrifying force created a massive wave of water that slammed these few Evil Tiger Whales hundreds of meters away.
Then, he opened his giant mouth and charged at one of the Evil Tiger Whales, snapping it up in one bite.
"Too terrifying!"
"Ahhhhh!"
"Run!!!"
The few Tiger Whales that were sent flying by Ye Wen's terrifying power and aura were completely scared. They no longer looked fierce but turned and fled in fear.
The one trapped in Ye Wen's mouth struggled desperately, loudly begging: "Don't eat me! Please, don't eat me!"
"Heh, weren't you guys all so arrogant? Now you're spineless?"
It was clear that this Evil Tiger Whale was scared to death, but since it was a future subordinate's subordinate, Ye Wen had no intention of killing it. Even though he was a bit hungry, he was still technically human, and he didn't feel the urge to eat it raw, having just been a whale himself.
So, he let it go.
The whale sighed in relief, but facing Ye Wen's imposing presence, it was too frightened to move.
"Stop standing there like an idiot. Take me to your king."
The whale, trembling, immediately led Ye Wen to the Evil Tiger Whale King.
Meanwhile, the fleeing Tiger Whales found their king and informed him of Ye Wen's intrusion into the domain. The Evil Tiger Whale King was furious upon hearing this: "Who dares to trespass in my domain and injure my kin!"
"Take me to him! I'm going to eat him!!!"
With murderous intent, the Evil Tiger Whale King led a group of its tribe, swimming and shouting: "Come out! I'm going to eat the one who injured my people!"
