Chapter 654: You Want to Duel Me?

"You are here!"

Swish, swish, swish...

Just as Qin Jian and Haima Douluo were confronting each other, six figures suddenly whistled over from various directions of Sea God Island.

They stirred up the wind and clouds across the sky, and also attracted the attention of all the residents of Sea God Island.

"Xiaobai, I heard you have acknowledged a master? Are you leaving our Sea God Island?"

The other five all stopped near Haima Douluo, only the beautiful woman dragging a long fish tail flew straight toward Xiaobai and grabbed her hand directly.

The Mermaid Princess, Hainv Douluo!

"I am not leaving Sea God Island for now, because the Master still needs to stay here for a while." Xiaobai quietly pointed to Qin Jian in front of her and said.

Hainv Douluo turned her head back, her voice crisp and sweet: "Is this the master you acknowledged? He looks very good-looking!"

"Is it because of that talent ability of yours that you sold yourself to him?"

Hainv Douluo and Xiaobai were clearly best friends, so she knew many things.

"We are all here, if you need him, then let's take him down together," she glared fiercely at Qin Jian and said: "Isn't it just needing to mate? Tie him up, bind him to your bed, and you can ride him whenever you want!"

The several Title Douluo like Hailong and Haima: "..."

Qin Jian, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu: "..."

The originally tense standoff situation inexplicably fell apart.

Xiaobai embarrassedly tugged at her best friend's sleeve: "Hey! Stop talking nonsense! The Master is the king of my clan."

"King?"

Hainv Douluo's expression became a bit more serious: "Then... it's not that you need it, but that he deliberately came to our Sea God Island to poach you?"

"Do I still need to poach?"

Qin Jian stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "With Xiaobai's strength, why can't she be a Holy Pillar Guardian like you all? It is you yourselves who have prejudice."

"There are only seven Sea Sacred Pillars on Sea God Island in total." Hainv Douluo pouted, looking very aggrieved.

Qin Jian chuckled: "Is that so? How come I heard that you only had five Title Douluo twenty years ago, and the other two were cultivated in recent years? Then before that, why wasn't there a spot for Xiaobai?"

Hainv Douluo was momentarily stunned.

"Master," Xiaobai quietly tugged at the corner of Qin Jian's clothes: "I myself don't want to guard a broken pillar all year round, I still prefer to swim freely in the sea..."

"Rest assured, I know you have no complaints about Sea God Island, and you don't want me to have a conflict with them," Qin Jian's lips moved: "It's just that I didn't intend to hide my identity, so whether it's a matter of stance or to win status and respect, I must have a fight with them."

Hearing him say this, Xiaobai breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She had guarded Sea God Island for many, many years.

This was not only the holy land for Sea Spirit Masters, but also her home, so she would not want Qin Jian to completely sever ties with Sea God Island.

Now that she heard Qin Jian had no intention of stirring up trouble, she finally felt at ease, and at the same time, she felt quite gratified by Qin Jian's protection.

Having a master is not a bad thing after all!

Having a king to protect her, and cultivating even faster, it simply makes a fish happy.

Seeing her following closely by Qin Jian's side, Hainv Douluo was furious: "Xiaobai, how many years of friendship have we had, and you've been snatched away just like that?!"

"Who told you that you aren't as powerful as my Master? If you can defeat my Master, then I will continue to guard Sea God Island!" Xiaobai said with a grin.

Anyway, it wouldn't really collapse, she didn't mind helping Qin Jian fan the flames.

"Fine! Let's have a duel!"

The Soul Rings on Hainv Douluo's body lit up, and she pressured Qin Jian aggressively: "I'll play a tune for you, if you can hold on, how about we count it as me losing?"

"Wow! Hainv, you are so shameless!"

Before Qin Jian could speak, Xiaobai exposed her: "Your Sea Demon Sound takes a very long time to charge, and it's a sustained attack; the longer you listen, the greater the damage. Who would obediently stand there and listen to you finish playing!"

"Xiaobai!"

The Mermaid Princess's beautiful voice reached an ultra-high decibel: "How can you be someone who forgets friends for a guy!"

"Blehh!" Xiaobai stuck out her tongue.

The Mermaid Princess almost rushed over to choke her neck.

The scene was chaotic for a moment.

Qin Jian, along with Haima Douluo and the others, were all about to faint.

Can these two only be described as best friends? Best friends who tear each other apart...

Hmm, literally tearing each other apart.

"Alright, alright..."

Qin Jian pulled the clawing and scratching Xiaobai behind him and smiled at Hainv Douluo: "Are you sure you want to have a duel with me?"

As he spoke, the three Yellow and Purple Soul Rings at the bottom lit up first.

"Of course..."

Before Hainv Douluo could finish her sentence, Qin Jian's three black Soul Rings lit up.

"I must let Xiaobai..."

Hum, hum, hum!

The final three blood-jade-like Soul Rings rose, dyeing this part of the sky red.

Hainv Douluo: "..."

"Hee hee, Hainv, what were you going to let me do?"

Xiaobai kicked her while she was down, exerting her ability as a bad friend to the fullest: "Do you still want to have a duel with my Master?"

Hainv Douluo's beautiful face twitched.

Especially when she saw the golden patterns on Qin Jian's last two Soul Rings clearly, she retreated a few steps without any hostility and flew behind the strongest, Hailong Douluo.

"Cough, I think it's better for Brother Hailong to go," she said, blinking her bright eyes.

The Title Douluo of Sea God Island: "..."

"Since Your Excellency possesses such strength and is a Soul Beast King, there is no irreconcilable conflict between us and Sea God Island. Why don't we... talk it over again?" the leader, Hailong Douluo, said slowly.

It was not that he feared Qin Jian, but that Qin Jian looked young yet possessed such a Soul Ring configuration, which implied his terrifying talent and an unfathomable background.

Could a Soul Beast King, whom a Demon Soul Great White Shark King like Xiaobai would willingly acknowledge as master, really be simple?

"No irreconcilable conflict?"

Qin Jian laughed in spite of himself: "What about the matter of Xiaobai?"

Hailong Douluo was silent for a moment: "The Demon Soul Great White Shark clan has lived around Sea God Island for a long time. Even if Xiaobai acknowledges you as master, surely she would not move away from the sea area where her clan lives."

The subtext was that there was no absolute conflict between Xiaobai acknowledging a master and her continuing to guard Sea God Island.

"You trust Xiaobai and me that much? Aren't you afraid I might order her to do something?" Qin Jian laughed.

Hailong Douluo pondered again: "The Demon Soul Great White Shark clan and our Sea God Island have had a mutually beneficial relationship for many years. I don't think Xiaobai would act against Sea God Island without special circumstances. Moreover, we are not hostile toward Soul Beasts, and our Soul Rings are all obtained by hunting evil Sea Soul Beasts, so there will be no conflict of interest with a Soul Beast King."

"Eh, Master, what Big Brother Hailong said actually makes sense!" Xiaobai's eyes lit up.

"It does make sense, but unfortunately..."

Qin Jian stepped on the void and slowly rose.

"Unfortunately, my stance, due to historical issues, seems to be hostile toward Sea God Island."

Hailong Douluo frowned: "What historical issues could there be between a Soul Beast King and our Sea God Island?"

Qin Jian stood high in the air, facing the seven of them with his hands behind his back, his voice booming: "Spirit Hall Chief Judge of Dalu, I ask you Title Douluo of Sea God Island, for your guidance!"
