Chapter 12: The Sea Soul Beast Trio's Strong Arrival at Notting Academy
After finding out this information and experiencing the thrill of fighting with all their strength, Ye Wen decided not to continue wasting time with Posey.
There was no need for that. Right now, he just wanted to go to the continent as quickly as possible, suppress Tang San's growth, and after the Fate Duel, deal with Sea God Island later.
Boom!
Ye Wen quickly struck Posey back with a hammer, then immediately transformed back into his soul beast form and launched a powerful strike.
"Deep Sea Furious Dragon Transformation!"
The roar of a whale spread across the sea as Ye Wen's body entered dragon form, gradually transforming from a whale into a terrifying dragon-like existence.
This was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's second most powerful skill, equivalent to a Title Douluo's eighth soul skill.
At that moment, a terrifying pressure covered everyone's hearts.
Posey's expression changed dramatically as she activated her eighth soul skill to defend against the attack.
Boom! Boom!
"Ugh~!!"
Posey let out a scream, blood slowly dripping from the corner of her mouth. While she had blocked the strike, it still left her in a miserable state, difficult to endure.
Ye Wen was also impacted by the energy, though he was in better condition than Posey.
"Posey, let's call it quits for today. I'll be back. Next time, I'll deal with you."
"We leave!"
"Yes, Boss!"
Ye Wen left these words behind, leading the Evil Tiger Whale group and the Demon Soul Great White Shark group, walking away coolly.
"Priestess! Are you just going to watch Xiao Bai be taken away by them?"
The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians were very anxious.
Posey didn't want to stop them, but she knew she couldn't save Xiao Bai anymore. She sighed inwardly. "When I fought the Deep Sea Demon Whale King earlier, I used my spiritual power to check on Xiao Bai. It seems he wasn't controlled."
"What! That's impossible!"
"Did Xiao Bai really betray us!?"
Posey also couldn't figure it out and shook her head helplessly. "From Xiao Bai's eyes, I saw that he doesn't need us anymore. He has really submitted to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
"The..."
The Seven Sacred Pillars still couldn't accept it.
"Let's go back. From now on, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan will no longer be under the protection of Sea God Island."
Meanwhile, Ye Wen had already led the two sea clans far away from Sea God Island.
Along the way, the Evil Tiger Whale King was constantly amazed: "Boss, I've heard that the Sea God Island's Priestess is incredibly powerful, but I didn't expect her to be this terrifying, able to contend with you!"
"Heh, Evil Tiger, did you just realize that? If it weren't for me today, you would have definitely died at Posey's hands if you tried attacking us."
"Xiao Bai, why are you speaking? Did I ask you?"
"Evil Tiger! Don't think that just because you and I are now both submitting to the Boss, I've forgotten that you killed my younger brother!"
Although they had both submitted to Ye Wen, the hostile feelings hadn't been entirely resolved yet. The two of them bickered, which was getting annoying. Ye Wen stopped them directly: "Enough! Stop arguing!"
"You two clans don't have to get along, but from now on, if you come with me to the continent, you must work together. Understood?"
"Yes... understood, Boss!"
Both were reluctant, but they still begrudgingly accepted that they were now part of the same group and followed the team's lead.
Now that he had subdued the Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai, leaving 18 spots for the contract, Ye Wen roughly estimated the number of 100,000-year soul beasts on the continent.
First, there were three that were already confirmed: The Sky Blue Bull Python, Da Ming.
The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming.
These two currently lived in the core area of the Star Dou Forest, in the Life Lake, which was also the strongest soul beasts on the surface of the Star Dou Forest, the Soul Beast Overlords.
Then there was the extremely powerful Bloodline Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
In the world of soul beasts, bloodline was very important, just like human soul masters valued the quality of their martial souls. Even with the same level, same soul rings, and combat ability, one soul beast might be weak, while another could have a divine-level martial soul.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was like a divine-level martial soul, a top-tier soul beast, leaving behind evil, darkness, lightning, wind, space, and time attributes, six combined properties.
Its bloodline was far superior to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and if it had the same near-million-year cultivation, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King would have no choice but to flee.
Therefore, a 60,000-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could challenge a 100,000-year soul beast, and if Da Ming and Er Ming fought it alone, they might not even win.
Though the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Forest wasn't close to 100,000 years of cultivation, it was still a target for Ye Wen to subdue.
These three, two would become tools, with their soul rings and soul bones dedicated to Tang San.
One would be hunted by Tang San.
All these soul beasts were related to Tang San, and Ye Wen's goal in subduing them was to prevent Tang San from obtaining strong soul rings.
Of course, these three were just the soul beasts on the surface of the Star Dou Forest. Ye Wen knew that more terrifying beings were sleeping there.
The strongest beast god from the ancient era of the divine realm, the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue Na.
Currently hiding in the Star Dou Forest, healing from injuries.
The Silver Dragon King, for now, Ye Wen didn't even consider trying to subdue her—after all, she had the power of a God King!
Even though she hadn't fully recovered from her injuries, she still held the strength of a first-level god.
Unless Ye Wen became a god, he wouldn't be able to challenge the Silver Dragon King.
Aside from her, there were also the top ten terrifying beasts led by the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, with cultivations around 600,000 to 800,000 years, including the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, the Hell Dragon King, Zi Ji, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, Xiong Jun, and the Demon-Eyed Magic Tree, Wan Yao Wang, among others, all with several hundred thousand years of cultivation.
Altogether, there were about ten of them, and these 100,000-year soul beasts had fallen into a deep sleep long ago.
They captured one, a million-year soul beast from the extreme north, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Though it reached a million years, it had no combat power. After being captured by Di Tian and his group, they had to release its energy and let them absorb it.
Thus, these powerful soul beasts fell into a deep sleep (the author might not have planned the later books, which is why some settings don't logically connect, but since the original author later explained it this way, I'll write it this way).
When Ye Wen arrives, no matter if they are asleep or not, the Silver Dragon King will not be able to stop him from subduing a few of these soul beasts.
In total, the Star Dou Forest occupies ten servant spots.
The extreme north also has the three great kings, the Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor, Titan Snow Demon King, and the Ice Bear King, among other known 100,000-year soul beasts, and there may be others unknown.
Let's count four.
With 14 spots already reserved, plus the already subdued Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai, Ye Wen could likely secure about 16 soul beasts.
