Chapter 342: The Fourth Trial

Returning here once again, everyone felt differently; after all, three years had passed unknowingly since they were last here, and in those three years, their strength had undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Are you ready?" Sensing the arrival of the group, Xiaobai transformed into human form and leaped out of the sea.

"Yes, we only have one year to pass the trial. Even if we continue to cultivate, it will be difficult to achieve a breakthrough, so we intend to complete this task a little earlier," Ye Lingling nodded and said.

Xiaobai scanned the group, then her gaze fell on Shi Quan, her brows slightly furrowed, "Shi Quan, you know you cannot interfere with the trial."

"Rest assured, Xiaobai, I am just following along to watch; I will not interfere."

Xiaobai could not help but remind him again: "And the two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts you brought also cannot interfere; the trial is to test their own strength."

"That goes without saying."

"Then let us set off." Xiaobai did not say anything more, turned to face the sea, and opened her mouth to emit a peculiar humming sound. As time passed, the sound grew increasingly loud, even drowning out the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Before long, the sea surface ahead suddenly began to boil.

Splash, splash—one after another, Demon Soul Great White Sharks with bodies exceeding fifteen meters revealed their dorsal fins.

"Everyone, get on; we will take you there." Under Xiaobai's direction, they landed on the backs of the giant Demon Soul Great White Sharks one by one.

Xiaobai, as the lead shark, suddenly darted out. Two hundred Demon Soul Great White Sharks followed closely behind, carrying the group straight toward the deep, vast ocean.

Shi Quan, who could not interfere with the trial, simply walked through the air, trailing behind the school of Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

In the true ocean, the group finally realized the side of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks as the overlords of the sea; riding the wind and breaking the waves, their speed was incomparable to any ship. The whistling sea breeze cut against their bodies like knives. The surrounding seawater turned into blue halos, continuously flashing past both sides of their bodies; that feeling could be described as extremely thrilling and extremely dangerous.

As they traveled, the group also gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Evil Demon Orca clan from Xiaobai.

The stronger the strength the Demon Soul Great White Sharks displayed, the more vigilant the group became; after all, such powerful Demon Soul Great White Sharks were also fearful of the Evil Demon Orcas, which were the target of their trip. This showed the difficulty of their Fourth Trial.

It was only two hours later when the Demon Soul Great White Shark school stopped twenty miles away from the Evil Demon Orca school. Xiaobai spoke solemnly, "Although that Evil Demon Orca King is detestable, its strength is indeed formidable. If we advance any further, I fear it will discover my mental fluctuations."

"Xiaobai, I have a plan that might require your help," Ye Lingling said.

Xiaobai nodded directly: "As long as we can kill that group of guys, I can cooperate with you!"

Ye Lingling narrowed her eyes and said: "My plan is called the Decapitation Plan. I want you to take me, Zhuqing, and Yan Yan to sneak in, and then, by gathering the power of the four of us, resolve the strongest Evil Demon Orca King first. Once the opponent is leaderless and in disarray, we will have your clansmen kill their way in from the outside to catch them off guard."

Xiaobai looked at Ye Lingling, "Do you have a way to let me take you through the Evil Demon Orca school?"

"Of course." Ye Lingling then released the Hanhaihushunzhao, shrouding herself.

"It just disappeared?" Xiaobai widened her eyes, her powerful Mental Power suddenly released, continuously probing for Ye Lingling's position, but in the end, it was empty.

"What a special skill," Xiaobai said excitedly. "Lingling, come out. With such an ability, we can definitely risk a try."

A faint blue light flashed, and Ye Lingling's figure reappeared, "Xiaobai, if you want to try, I need you to temporarily serve as our mount."

"These are all small problems," Xiaobai said excitedly. "Just get on."

The three women looked at each other, leaped lightly, and all landed steadily on Xiaobai's back.

"Rongrong, Little Ao," Ye Lingling looked at Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

The two immediately understood.

"Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, first: Strength, second: Speed, third: Soul, fifth: Attack." Ning Rongrong summoned her martial soul to boost the four combat attributes for Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Zhuqing, who were standing on Xiaobai's back.

"Second: Speed, fourth: Defense." Xiaobai naturally was not left out.

Oscar also threw over several Sausages.

"Next, wait for my signal. Xiaobai, let's go." Ye Lingling pointed her fingertip at the center of her brow, released the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and then waved her hand, "Hanhaihushunzhao!" The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud instantly expanded, covering the three women and the shark, turning them into an invisible state.

In the sky, Shi Quan wiped his hand, using Mental Concealment to merge himself with the sky, following behind the three women and the shark.

A moment later, within the range of his Spirit Sense, the Evil Demon Orca school appeared in Shi Quan's field of vision.

His current Mental Power had an absolute crushing gap compared to the Evil Demon Orca King. Completely integrated into the surrounding environment, there was no need to worry about being discovered by the Evil Demon Orca King.

The Evil Demon Orcas had gray-black skin and dark red eyes, looking extremely bloodthirsty. There were nearly three hundred of them, most of them adults, with body lengths exceeding thirty meters, twice the size of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks. The Evil Demon Orca King swimming in the very center even reached a body length of thirty-five meters.

"Xiaobai, swim slower, approach from underneath. Rest assured, with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the Soul Spirits inside our bodies will also help us conceal our aura; these guys won't be able to find us." As Ye Lingling spoke, she channeled the soul power in her body, and a transparent, beautiful ice-blue begonia flower appeared in her hand.

The cold, bone-chilling aura made Xiaobai feel a chill.

However, this cold aura was soon covered by a scorching, oppressive aura.

With horns on its head, a dragon tail on its rear, limbs transformed into dragon claws, eyes turned into vertical pupils, and dense scales crawling over its skin—it was a human-shaped dragon. Ancient and weathered, the aura of the True Dragon bloodline overflowed; this was Dugu Yan's Fire Holy Dragon martial soul.

Compared to the heat and cold of the two.

With cat ears growing on her head, a cat tail extending from behind, sharp claws, black magic patterns crawling up her cheeks, and cold vertical pupils, Zhuqing's dark and chilly aura was no less inferior to the other two.

"These three are all monsters through and through," Xiaobai thought to herself, swimming forward cautiously.

The speed was neither slow nor fast, and under the effect of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, they merged with the surrounding seawater.

Before long, they arrived at the seabed directly beneath the Evil Demon Orca King and stood up.

"Martial Soul True Body!" Zhuqing and Dugu Yan both released their Martial Soul True Body simultaneously. The powerful aura, however, did not erupt with the slightest fluctuation; all of this, of course, was thanks to the help of the two great Soul Spirits, Chi Wang and Xiong Jun.

Although the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had already merged with Ye Lingling's Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull, the Hanhaihushunzhao still had certain limitations, which was that no skills could be used; once a skill was cast, the invisibility effect would disappear, so Ye Lingling just stood in place without making any major movements.
