The Demon Soul Great White Shark's eyes weren't panicked, but cold and fierce, which made the Seven Douluo's face light up with joy, though still tense, unsure if they would make it.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark was not panicked; it appeared confident in the Seven Douluo's eyes, but it actually knew Ye Yu would jump to the shore before it could get close.
Inner thoughts of the Demon Soul Great White Shark: "First pretend to sleep, then wake up and act surprised before taking action; this way, no one would suspect anything, and it would show that I tried my best. With his speed, as I approach, he would definitely reach the shore at full speed. Although my speed is quick and fleeting, he's less than ten meters from the opposite shore; calculating the time, by the time I touch him, he should be on land, so I won't need to act against him. Hehe, I'm truly clever."
The Demon Soul Great White Shark chuckled inwardly, but the next second, its eyes widened suddenly!
Because, unexpectedly, Ye Yu did not rush to shore at full speed but suddenly turned around!
When the Demon Soul Great White Shark collided with Ye Yu, its body stopped quickly, now just inches from Ye Yu.
The retreating seawater had already returned, and a silent scene emerged within it.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark did not make a move but engaged in a staring match with Ye Yu.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark couldn't move forward, nor retreat, just staring blankly, secretly cursing: "Why haven't you gone up yet!"
The Seven Douluo were dumbfounded, puzzled, why had it stopped?
"Hurry up and act!" The Seven Douluo shouted.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark was on the verge of tears; it didn't want to act, but given the current situation, what should it do?
Inner thoughts of the Demon Soul Great White Shark: I'm having such a hard time.
Watching this scene, the Seven Douluo and Poseisy were bewildered, puzzled, what happened? Why did the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark suddenly stop?
The King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark initially hoped to save face without making a move, but now had to choose between face and not acting.
Of course, it couldn't abandon its face; after all, it was the ten-thousand-year-old King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, once the Sea God's steed. To move forward however, it feared the Apocalypse Black Dragon.
The Seahorses were dumbfounded as their emotions underwent a myriad of changes, from calm to panic to joy, and now to bewilderment.
"Why? Why isn't the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark acting?"
"Did it pretend to sleep before?"
"Why doesn't it want to block Ye Yu? What is it afraid of?"
...
Hearing this, the Demon Soul Great White Shark decided internally to act regardless.
If it didn't act, it would definitely lose face; if it did, the Apocalypse Black Dragon might not react, perhaps already having ascended to godhood and left this continent.
However, just as the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark was about to act, a bewildering scene unfolded for everyone including Tang San and others, as Ye Yu darted back to his original place and jumped ashore.
They were puzzled, astonished, while the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark remained frozen in place.
"Boss Yu, why did you come back? You could've made it to shore just now." Ma Hongjun was puzzled.
The Seven Douluo were also puzzled, slightly relieved but still questioning: "Yeah, you could have reached the other shore, in which case we would have lost, but why didn't you?"
Ye Yu replied: "The second test cannot be completed too quickly, like the first test. The second test also serves to temper us."
Upon hearing this, Poseisy's eyes glowed with admiration: "Indeed, but you're the only one who thought to use the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark to exert pressure as a form of training."
Ma Hongjun and others were shocked. Training? But it's a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast!
Ye Yu explained: "Though challenging, there are restrictions on the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark; it will only block us, not defeat it. Even with all my abilities, I would not be able to defeat the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark. It won't harm examiners, which is quite an opportunity to enhance practical combat ability. The first test bolstered our willpower, physical fitness, and strength. This second test focuses on practical combat ability. The pressure exerted by the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark will be significant, serving as a sparring partner greatly enhancing our combat ability and accelerating cultivation."
Tang San's eyes lit up: "Yes, indeed feasible."
A year climbing the Sea God's Ladder, they understood the effects of training under pressure, willingly embracing it.
"I'll try again to see if it truly only blocks."
Dai Mubai jumped into the sea; five minutes later, with a resounding splash, he emerged onto the shore.
Dai Mubai shook his dizzy head, stood up, and said: "Though every bone feels disjointed, it truly causes no real harm, merely flinging and numbing us, not malicious."
"Alright, then use the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark as a sparring partner; certainly the Sea God thinks the same."
The Seven Douluo and Poseisy left; they initially thought Ye Yu would give up, allowing them to take the Immortal Grass, but he didn't, so they could only hope the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark doesn't cause any mishaps.
The King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark lay quietly at the seafloor, but she was intently listening to Ye Yu's words from the shore. Hearing Ye Yu would take her as a sparring partner for the next nine months, she was on the verge of tears, having to face the Son of the Apocalypse Black Dragon for nine months.
Afraid of accidentally using too much force as a sparring partner.
Splash!
Suddenly, the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark's body trembled, realizing Ye Yu had jumped down again.
"This guy again, what for." the Demon Soul Great White Shark thought.
Ye Yu came straight before the Demon Soul Great White Shark; the Demon Soul Great White Shark disregarded its dignity since the Seven Douluo and Poseisy were gone, pretending to sleep, not moving.
Ye Yu spoke: "For the next nine months, I hope you'll block me, without holding back, so I can be tempered. I know you're reluctant to act against me because it seems you know what the black aura I emitted earlier means; it seems you know my father."
Hearing this, the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark's heart trembled. Indeed, he was that person's son.
Ye Yu continued: "Although my father lies within me and can appear at any time, don't be afraid."
As he spoke, Ye Yu patted the Demon Soul Great White Shark King's head, but the Shark King didn't feel comforted at all, instead trembling.
The King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark felt a wave of despair; thinking the Apocalypse Black Dragon might not be present, but unexpectedly, he lay within the youth before her, ready to emerge at any time, leaving her uncertain and trembling.
Ye Yu said sternly: "If you hold back and don't act, my father might come out and reprimand you, so just don't hold back as I said, and you'll be fine."
With those words, the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark's eyes lit up; under the astonished gaze of everyone, the enormous body of the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark burst into a blue glow, the form gradually shrinking, quickly transforming into a human, a tall, beautiful young woman.
Ye Yu was amazed: "You can already transform, and wow, she's a beauty."
Indeed, the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark was female, no longer merely a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, but a Ferocious Beast like Zi Ji.
She was extremely tall, a towering 1.9 meters, appearing high but not disproportionate, instead her figure was extraordinarily perfect. A white leather outfit perfectly outlined her tall stature, curves rising and falling, with long blue hair cascading down her back, reaching the floor. Her eyes were blue, her skin white as it shimmered with a faint blue glow, and her exceedingly beautiful features bore an exotic allure.
The transformed King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark looked at Ye Yu, seriously asking: "Is what you said true?"
Ye Yu nodded: "Of course."
"Alright, I understand." The Demon Soul Great White Shark nodded.
