Chapter 152: Setting foot on the sea
"Roar! Didn't you say that it is natural for soul beasts to hunt soul masters? Fine, then go and die now!"

Understanding does not mean acceptance. When Er Ming heard this, he suffered a huge blow to his spirit. He could no longer bear it and was about to attack You Chen.

Of course, although he said "go to hell", Er Ming actually wanted to capture You Chen.

It also needs to get information about Sister Xiaowu from You Chen!
Since this bastard human is unwilling to cooperate, we have to force him to speak out!

"Er Ming!"

Daming shouted in a deep voice, and controlled Erming with a flick of his tail. In Erming's puzzled look, he said to Youchen: "Maybe you are right, but even if there is a difference in lifespan and race, it doesn't matter. We and Sister Xiaowu were not of the same race from the beginning, we are just soul beasts. What connects us is not blood, but emotion and spirit!"

Daming showed a somewhat depressed look at first, but soon, as he spoke, the depression gradually dissipated and turned into a firm look: "Even if Sister Xiaowu becomes a human, she is still our family! This will never change!"

You Chen showed no expression at all in response to Daming's resounding declaration.

After all...what the hell does this have to do with him?

If you are really so capable and determined, why do you just talk to Xiao Wu yourself? Why are you talking to him about this here?

"What a bunch of soul beasts you are. You're not messing around with these pretentious things because you want to entrust Xiao Wu to me, right?"

You Chen instantly understood some of Daming’s thoughts.

As expected, the next moment, Daming lowered his head and said sincerely: "Human, although you rejected Sister Xiaowu, since Sister Xiaowu is willing to follow you, it proves that Sister Xiaowu trusts you. So--"

"Brother, this guy is untrustworthy! He just slaughtered so many of our companions!"

Erming started yelling.

Rather than being indignant for its dead brother, it was more filled with indignation, because it had already guessed Daming's thoughts from his tone.

"Why, why would Big Brother want to give Sister Xiao Wu to this kind of rubbish! Even if, even if it's not me, it would be fine if it's Big Brother!" Er Ming thought angrily in his heart.

"Shut up, Erming!"

Da Ming glanced at Er Ming sternly and said, "What this human brother said is indeed true. The racial conflict between human soul masters and soul beasts is there. But, since he is willing to regard Sister Xiao Wu as a human, what does this difference have to do with us?"

He turned around and continued sincerely: "Human, you are so powerful that you can protect Xiao Wu through this dangerous period before she completely transforms. In addition, you recognize Xiao Wu's identity as a human... Can I entrust Xiao Wu to you?"

"So what can you offer me as a reward?"

You Chen smiled slightly: "For your little sister Wu, can you sacrifice yourself to me?"

Daming's pupils shrank. No matter what, it could not have imagined that You Chen would suddenly say something that was equivalent to "you should commit suicide."

But Er Ming couldn't stand it anymore.

"How dare you humiliate my brother! I will beat you to death!!!"

Er Ming thought that his previous collision did not kill You Chen, so he did not have too many concerns about his actions.

Seventy percent of the strength is exerted, and the remaining thirty percent is not exerted, just to prevent unexpected situations and to allow some of the strength to be retracted.

But how could such half-baked strength and speed pose a threat to You Chen?
A cold light flashed in You Chen's eyes, and as soon as the Sacrifice Sanctuary opened, the suppressive force of Er Ming's gravity field was instantly weakened by more than half.

Under Erming's shocked gaze, he easily dodged Erming's attack.

At the same time, You Chen did not forget to use his supersonic sound to taunt Er Ming, "I just felt that beating was not enough."

The next moment, a dazzling golden sword appeared in You Chen's hand, with extremely sharp air blades gathered on the sword - a thousand strikes in an instant!
“Gua ...

Er Ming let out an earth-shattering scream, as if his back had been cut by countless swords. The blood pouring down like a river instantly dyed the surrounding ancient trees into a blood-red forest.

"Er Ming!"

Daming exclaimed, and the slow field was immediately deployed. At the same time, he quickly sent a message to Youchen: "Human soul master, stop it! I can take this as a lesson for your rude words to Erming, but if you attack again, even if you have a relationship with Sister Xiaowu, I will treat you as my mortal enemy! I can see that your injuries have not healed either. Do you really want to do something that will not benefit you!?"

You Chen felt the influence of the slow field and looked at Daming coldly, but did not make another move.

He looked at Daming and said calmly, "This idiot first gave me a great gift when we met, and then he offended me again and again. I don't know how you got the nerve to say that you would entrust Xiao Wu to me. What I want to do with Xiao Wu is my own business."

Daming remained silent, and did not retort like Erming, saying "You were the first to kill the soul beasts." Because both sides knew that this was a meaningless argument.

And in the moment of silence, You Chen turned and left without any reluctance.

Only Daming was left standing there, deeply troubled and worried about not being able to obtain any information about Xiaowu from You Chen, and then he let out a sigh.

……

After absorbing the soul ring, You Chen can leave the scene safely at any time.

The reason why he stayed and had a fight with Daming and Erming was entirely to avenge the blow Erming gave him. He wanted to make things difficult for them. As for planting a thorn in Daming's heart, it could only be said that it was done conveniently.

After today's contact, the next time we meet, we will have a real discussion.

In the blink of an eye, one day passed.

With You Chen's physique, he had recovered to his full strength after just a short period of recuperation, and soon arrived at Hanhai City, which is near the sea in the west of Douluo Continent.

This Hanhai City is originally a relatively prosperous city among coastal cities. After the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce deliberately raised the price of seafood, the prosperity here has been further enhanced.

You Chen only used his mental power to investigate briefly and discovered that many powerful high-level soul masters gathered here.

You Chen did not rush out to sea, but hid in the city while fully unleashing his mental power, completely covering the entire Hanhai City and began to collect information about its current sea area.

Although the intelligence gathered by the Beast Soul Alliance was already very detailed, it could not be more efficient than You Chen's direct on-site investigation using his mental power.

However, its advantage is that the intelligence covers a wider range.

You Chen's move was more about comparing it with the existing intelligence to determine whether there were any outdated or erroneous aspects. After all, intelligence was very time-sensitive.

"Have you heard? The Earl of Will's own fleet returned in a very miserable state the day before yesterday! There were about 200 people in the entire fleet, but only five or six people managed to return alive!"

"You must be kidding me, right? I heard that there are Soul King and even Soul Emperor level warriors on that ship, as well as top sailors and navigators. Even ten thousand year level sea soul beasts can't threaten them. How could this happen? You must be kidding me, right!?"

"Why would I lie to you? If you ask me, it must be because those people were too greedy and wantonly exploited the resources of the sea, which made the Lord of the Sea angry!"

Soon, You Chen obtained some useful information.

During the period when Prince Xuexing was attracting attention to the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce, and with the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce investing heavily, it did trigger a wave of going out to sea.

Because it's not just the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce that's spending money. The Qibao Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce have seen the moves of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce. Just like the whale jelly craze in the past, seeing the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce's way of spending money without treating it as money, they are worried that some new era gold will emerge, so they have all squeezed into this market.

The price of seafood was suddenly pushed up to a level that was not what it should be. Countless civilians and soul masters have been moving towards coastal areas and sea transportation over the past six months.

Even if seafood was nothing special at the beginning, it has been shrouded in a special halo with the help of so much capital.

There is no need for the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce to specifically tinker with the market for soul beast resources. As a large number of people go out to sea, collisions with sea soul beasts are inevitable.

Guarding, hunting, selling sea soul beast resources... the market naturally formed.

But in the past half month, this wave of going overseas has shown some signs of decline.

The benefits are indeed attractive, but the heavy casualties have also discouraged many people after their enthusiasm has cooled.

The most obvious reason for this is...

'Sea Soul Master.'

Several powerful fleets did not suffer damage from the sea soul beasts, but instead encountered pirates and suffered heavy losses.

Judging from the discussions of these people and the combat qualities of the pirates they mentioned, it is hard to imagine what kind of poor and remote place could produce pirates that even the Soul Emperor could defeat...

This is obviously a regular sea soul master disguised as a pirate.

As for the legitimate sea soul masters in the sea area, You Chen could not think of any other forces except the Sea God Island.

Obviously, it was probably the excessive invasion of the ocean by the land-based soul masters that caused dissatisfaction on the part of Sea God Island.

Marine resources come second.

What’s important is that in this process, a large number of sea soul beasts were hunted by human soul masters.

Compared to the past, the death rate of sea soul beasts has increased tenfold or even a hundredfold.

As more and more parts of sea soul beasts were discovered to be used as food or materials, the resources of sea soul beasts began to surpass some seafood and became the mainstay of the market.

This is enough to touch the nerves of Poseidon Island.

After all, under the rule of Sea God Island, the conflicts between sea soul masters and sea soul beasts are not as sharp as those between land soul masters and land soul beasts.

Land soul masters who have not had much contact with sea soul masters would never imagine that they would attract attacks from soul masters because of their large-scale hunting of sea soul beasts, and would only regard these sea soul masters as pirates who are after money.

Such actions by the Sea God Island are undoubtedly detrimental to You Chen's plundering of soul beast resources.

However, You Chen did not plan to respond to this for the time being. His goal was naturally to prioritize completing the fifth and sixth spirit rings of his second life.

After absorbing the 100,000-year soul ring of the Holy Spirit Bird, You Chen obtained the healing soul skill "Holy Spirit's Grace" and the group locking attack soul skill "Holiness".

The healing effect of the Holy Spirit's Grace had already been demonstrated when facing Er Ming earlier. In addition to simple healing, the object healed by the Holy Spirit's Grace will also gain a defense BUFF that lasts for an extremely long time.

Combined with the Sacrifice Sanctuary, You Chen's defense is probably not inferior to the speed he has reached.

As for Holiness, its method of attack is to form countless holy light pillars to punish the target, and it has extremely strong special attacks against negative attribute life such as evil and darkness.

But if it faces a non-special attack target, its power may barely reach the level of one hundred thousand years.

But the strength of this soul skill lies in that it is a locking skill. Youchen does not need to aim or control it. As long as the mental power locks on the target and performs it, it will automatically track and attack.

There is even a way to use it to directly detect hostility and evil. Youchen does not need to lock it with mental power, just cast it directly and it will automatically attack.

It can be said to be a perfect skill for group bullying.

And his soul power also directly rushed to level 85 after breaking through the bottleneck.

After absorbing these two spirit rings, his spirit power level will definitely reach level 90.

When it comes to the spirit rings of his second life, You Chen prefers the high bonuses brought by spirit skills or high age.

However, there is a soul beast whose soul skills are quite functional and versatile. Although its age is not particularly high, because of its top-level soul beast bloodline, the bonus it gains is no less than that of ordinary beasts.

What's even better is that Seagod Island will not interfere with the hunting of this soul beast.

This lucky soul beast is naturally the evil killer whale king that appeared in the original work.

By the way, you can also harvest a large number of evil killer whales and bring them back as food for cultivation.

Even if this tribe was exterminated by You Chen, they had no idea about biodiversity and only knew how to lick the Sea God. Even the cannibalistic soul beasts like the Demon Soul Great White Shark were labeled as "kind soul beasts". There would probably be no objection from the Sea God Island.

With the diverse information brought by many people who have gone out to sea, You Chen has confirmed the approximate location of the activities of the evil killer whale group during this period.

Without much hesitation or extra preparation, You Chen began his journey across the ocean relying only on his own body.

Even though he already knew the approximate location in advance and had the spiritual detection range of the spiritual realm, the ocean was too vast. You Chen still flew over the ocean for a whole day and night before he found the trace of the evil killer whale.

These evil killer whales were traveling in groups and resting beside a rocky island on the edge of the ocean.

You Chen used his mental power to investigate from a distance. Among these hundreds of evil killer whales, nearly one-third had grown to adulthood, and each was 20 to 30 meters long, which means they had cultivated for ten thousand years.

As for the remaining two-thirds, the longest one is only about ten meters in length, and they are all thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Although its individual strength is weaker than that of the deep-sea demon whale, the evil demon killer whale, as a top-level soul beast in the sea, possesses superior combat power.

Even if they are only at the millennium level, they at least have combat power comparable to that of a human Soul King. A few with pure bloodlines or who have developed longer can even be compared to human Soul Emperors.

As for those at the ten thousand year level, they were at least comparable to human Soul Saints, and many had reached the strength of ordinary Soul Douluo.

But perhaps the evil killer whale king Xie Hu wanted to maintain his absolute status as the leader. From You Chen's observation, there was no strong man who had reached the title level among this group of evil killer whales. The evil killer whale with the highest age of about 50,000 years of cultivation did not have pure bloodline, and his life breath was relatively weak, and he was only at the peak level of Soul Douluo.

And now, the evil killer whale king was probably out looking for food, swimming or playing, or had gone to another group. You Chen did not find any trace of him here.

"In that case, let's try out my new skills."

When You Chen went out to sea, he originally intended to harvest some soul beast resources for his cultivation when he returned.

Poseidon Island was hunting the evil killer whales, and You Chen felt that hunting the evil killer whales would not cause a conflict with Poseidon Island, so he had no concerns.

The blood-colored eighth soul ring suddenly lit up.

"Eighth Soul Skill - Holy Separation!"

No matter it was the evil killer whale, the devil soul great white shark or the deep sea devil whale, the violent factors of these extremely bloodthirsty sea soul beasts far exceeded those of ordinary soul beasts. You Chen directly chose the automatic attack mode to detect evil.

In an instant, countless beams of light fell from the sky.

You Chen sensed the condition of the light column and tried to control and influence it with his mental power. It went as smoothly as expected. Even when it entered the automatic attack mode, the automatic authority of this soul skill could still be retracted at any time and controlled mainly by You Chen's will.

These evil killer whales are You Chen's training materials, and he doesn't want his soul skills to directly smash these evil killer whales into pieces.

Therefore, he mainly used automatic attack and supplemented it with self-control, and with the minimum mental effort, he controlled the Holy Light Pillar to launch a fatal attack.

With You Chen's unsparing output of soul power, most of those thousand-year-old and hundred-year-old evil killer whales were killed or injured in an instant.

Many thousand-year-old evil killer whales rushed to protect their young, but they soon discovered that this seemingly ordinary beam of light actually possessed extremely powerful killing power.

Even with their cultivation level of ten thousand years, they would suffer heavy damage if they took it head on.

But it's too late.

Under You Chen's holy spell, more than two-thirds of the hundreds of evil killer whales were destroyed in an instant, and the remaining less than one-third of the evil killer whales were also injured.

Only the strongest few evil killer whales that could rival Contra were only slightly injured.

You Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Like all locking skills, Sanctification is by no means a skill that guarantees a hit or kill.

Even though You Chen had allocated more of his holy power to target the strongest evil killer whales, the fact that they were still only slightly injured was the best proof.

By weakening the holy energy through the sea and reefs, the attack that was originally enough to cause them heavy damage was greatly weakened, and finally they were able to withstand it.

In addition, as a group attack skill, Holiness does meet the standard of a hundred thousand year soul skill, but this is not the MingX Ark that is stronger at group attacks than at single attacks. Its power is naturally not as strong as a hundred thousand year single soul skill. Even if all the Holiness light beams are concentrated on one target, it is only the strength of a tens of thousands of year single attack soul skill.

If it weren't for the increase in soul power brought by Youchen Stardust Dragon Martial Soul, which has already made his soul power close to that of a Super Douluo, I'm afraid that ordinary ten thousand year old evil killer whales would not regard him as a threat and would not be able to achieve such a horrific result.

Just as You Chen was silently analyzing and comprehending the strength of the holy soul skills, those evil killer whales seemed to mistakenly think that You Chen had suffered too much damage, and completely released the brutality in their bones and attacked You Chen.

Beams of blue energy with decomposition power shot towards Youchen.

In the sea area, the attack power of these evil killer whales can be said to have been increased to an extra small level.

But such an attack naturally had no effect on You Chen. It just reminded You Chen that it would be better to finish the finishing work.

The eighth soul ring rotated again.

"Holy."

With a low groan, the pillar of light that brought despair to the evil killer whales fell from the sky again.

There is no clear cooldown time for soul ring and soul skills. If we have to say it, it is the consumption of soul power and the shock of power when using the soul ring.

The older the soul ring soul skill is, the stronger the soul power shock is, and repeated use is even stronger. This is the hidden cooling time.

But for You Chen, unless he used the 100,000-year soul skill of the same soul ring more than ten times in one breath, the vibration of the soul ring to this extent would be completely insignificant.

As for the consumption of soul power?
Output-type soul skills have always consumed a lot of soul power. The soul power of the Soul Douluo level will stop after being used three or four times, or four or five times.

But for You Chen who possesses the soul core... during this analysis time, the soul power consumed has almost been recovered.

The holy light once again enveloped the entire sea.

Half a while later, the scarlet color above the sea had not faded yet, but all the corpses had been captured by You Chen.

Before this trip, You Chen specially asked the research department to build him a soul guide with a built-in refrigerator effect. All the corpses of soul beasts, including the Emperor Golden Lion Beast and the Holy Spirit Bird, were refrigerated and kept fresh in it, so there was no need to worry about them going bad.

You Chen collected the corpses of the evil killer whales and did not leave. He landed on the reef island, restrained his breath with the Breath-Resting Technique, and waited silently.

The entire Demon Killer Whale tribe has only a few hundred individuals in total. If a branch of the tribe with hundreds of people loses contact, it goes without saying that the Demon Killer Whale King will definitely come to check on the situation.

However, before the evil killer whale king arrived, a group of uninvited guests arrived.

The mental power silently covered and observed. The person in the lead was wearing purple clothes, followed by a group of soul masters in yellow clothes.

You Chen took a look at their attire and immediately determined that they were soul masters from Sea God Island.

You Chen silently strengthened the practice of the Breath-Containing Technique, wanting to see what these guys from the Sea God Island were looking for.

There was no need to use mental power to listen. With You Chen's current hearing ability, he could directly hear their undisguised conversation.

"Lord Xiurano, Lord Saint Pillar asked us to come here because he sensed the movements of those evil killer whales, right? But there is no trace of them here, so they must have left, right?"

"Do not……"

The purple-clad Xiulano showed a solemn expression: "Bloodstains, there must have been a bloody fight here!"
