Li Chang’an could barely hold in his laughter. If you’re about to self-destruct but suddenly feel like taking a dump... would you blow yourself up, or go poop first?
The answer, obviously, was... poop.
The Demon Shark King couldn’t figure it out. Why did this strange sensation keep coming back? At his level, controlling his bodily functions should be trivial. So why was this happening today? Twice now in such a short ti!
Worse still, both tis had struck at absolutely critical monts—first causing him to lose the upper hand at the very start, and then directly leading to his failed self-destruction. His ntal state was on the verge of collapse!
But Li Chang’an didn’t care one bit what the Demon Shark King was thinking. Without hesitation, he shouted to the still-stunned Bibi Dong, "Teacher!"
Only then did Bibi Dong confirm that this was all Li Chang’an’s doing. She reacted quickly—soul power surged around her, and behind her rose the phantom of a massive spider over a hundred ters tall. It shimred with a milky white jade hue and looked oddly adorable.
At that mont, the Demon Shark King was at his weakest. Add to that the backlash of a failed self-destruction, and he was basically a fish on a chopping block.
The white jade spider lunged forward and clamped down on the Demon Shark King. Then, with a sudden burst of power, it soared hundreds of kiloters into the sky, vanishing into the horizon.
anwhile, Li Chang’an unleashed a miniature version of his Thunder Moon Slash, throwing the rest of the Demon Sharks into chaos under the storm of lightning. After that, he pulled out the Donghuang Bell, tearing through space to pursue Bibi Dong.
When he arrived at a quiet, desolate patch of ocean, he saw faint traces of blood on the surface. Bibi Dong was floating above the water, her aura blazing, creating a protected zone for Li Chang’an to descend safely.
"Chang’an, go ahead. Just finish it off with one final blow," Bibi Dong said approvingly, pleased by how swiftly he had followed.
"Thank you, Teacher. I’ll go now." Li Chang’an cupped his fists respectfully toward her.
"This Demon Shark is bound to have a lot of lingering resentnt—dying in such an... embarrassing way. Be careful of its soul backlash," Bibi Dong warned as Li Chang’an prepared to dive into the sea.
"Understood. Don’t worry, Teacher." With that, Li Chang’an enveloped himself in soul power and leapt into the water.
Had it been any other kind of threat, he might have been concerned—but when it ca to soul attacks? His Pangu Axe can handle that easily.
——
Half an hour later, the sea suddenly trembled violently.
A handso young man with long black hair burst out from the depths like a shooting star. He was clad in black, holding a two-ter-long axe with a gleaming dark blade. Just the aura from the weapon made Bibi Dong’s heart skip a beat.
But what stood out even more was his soul ring configuration:
Black, black, black, black-red, red, red...
On closer inspection, his sixth soul ring even bore two golden patterns, a sign that it was clearly a soul ring above the hundred-thousand-year threshold!
The boy soared into the air, grabbed Bibi Dong in a sudden embrace, and—before she could react—planted a kiss on her lips.
"Hahaha! Sorry, Teacher—I got a little carried away," Li Chang’an said, completely shaless and grinning like a fool.
Bibi Dong resisted the very real urge to beat him to a pulp, then shifted her attention to his sixth soul ring.
"This is a... two-hundred-thousand-year soul ring?" she asked in awe. At this close range, she could clearly feel the overwhelming energy it radiated—sothing even she didn’t possess.
Of course, if she could fully complete the Rakshasa Trial, evolving her own soul rings wouldn’t be too difficult.
"Yes, Teacher," Li Chang’an replied proudly, admiring the bounce and clarity of her complexion. "Not just any two-hundred-thousand-year soul ring—it’s a two-hundred-and-sixty-thousand-year one!"
"And your sixth soul skill?" Bibi Dong ignored his fiery gaze, genuinely curious.
As everyone knew, soul rings above one hundred thousand years typically granted two skills. And given that the Demon Shark would certainly produce a soul bone as well, that ant potentially four new skills. The leap in strength was no small matter.
To her surprise, Li Chang’an chuckled and said, "Actually, both the soul ring and soul bone only gave one skill."
When he had been absorbing the ring, the system had prompted him with a choice—Fusion Option, which would combine the skills into sothing greater than the sum of its parts. Naturally, Li Chang’an had picked that one without hesitation.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want more soul skills—in fact, as a twin martial soul holder, he wasn’t lacking in them at all. So why not experint with a fused effect?
"What? Just one?" Bibi Dong blinked in disbelief. It was her first ti encountering a two-hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, so she wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. Could it be that spirit beasts at this level only grant one skill?
"Teacher, I could feel it clearly during the fusion process—it was like there were two paths, and I chose the fusion route," Li Chang’an explained.
As he spoke, his sixth soul ring flared with radiant crimson light, casting a regal aura over him.
Then, a surge of blue light began to ripple outward in concentric circles, spreading across a radius of several kiloters. The light was soft and fluid, like waves of the ocean—and it lingered, not dissipating for a long ti.
Bibi Dong imdiately noticed sothing alarming: her speed was being suppressed—by nearly 20%!
That was insane. Li Chang’an was just a Spirit Sage, yet this soul skill could debuff even a Titled Douluo like her by that much? "Terrifying" didn’t even begin to describe it.
"Teacher, this is my sixth soul skill—Oceanic Domain," Li Chang’an announced. "It creates a wide-area field centered on , simulating a marine environnt. Enemies inside the domain will have their movent speed reduced by at least 20%, and the weaker they are, the greater the debuff. It works regardless of how many enemies there are."
"At the sa ti, all my allies within the domain will gain a 20% speed boost—and if we’re fighting on the ocean, that boost increases by another 10%!"
As he continued, the surrounding blue light pulsed once more. Bibi Dong could feel her body being further restricted—not quite a full 30%, but getting close.
"And the soul bone I got from the Demon Shark king is a torso bone," Li Chang’an added, "with a skill called Shark King’s Might. It allows to boost any part of my body’s strength by 200% for a period of ti!"
