"Devil Spirit Great White Shark!" Mu Chen frowned slightly.
"Devil Spirit Great White Shark?"
"Devil Spirit Great White Shark?"
Both Xiao Wu and Hu Liena murmured in unison, their expressions growing serious.
"Devil Spirit Great Sharks, known as the Hunters of the Ocean, are among the most aggressive and ferocious sea spirit beasts. Even a thousand-year Devil Spirit Great Shark can rival an ordinary ten-thousand-year sea spirit beast. If the Titan Giant Ape is the king of the forest, then the Devil Spirit Great Shark is undoubtedly the king of the sea," Zi Zhenzhu explained gravely.
"In other words, its combat strength is on par with the Titan Giant Ape?" Xiao Wu tensed.
"Yes. And because this is the ocean, its combat abilities are only amplified," Zi Zhenzhu added.
Both Xiao Wu and Hu Liena's expressions darkened as they looked at the creature before them. The shark was about twenty-five meters long, and its sheer size radiated a terrifying aura.
It was common knowledge that a ten-thousand-year spirit beast was generally stronger than an ordinary Titled Douluo. Even the weakest ten-thousand-year beast was equivalent to a Rank 95 Titled Douluo. And the Devil Spirit Great Shark was far from ordinary.
In other words, the Devil Spirit Great Shark's combat strength was comparable to elite Rank 95+ Titled Douluos—powerhouses like Sword Douluo Chenxin, Ghost Douluo Guimei, or even Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao. Perhaps it was even stronger.
"Why hasn't it attacked us yet?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Because it recognizes my ship. The Devil Spirit Great Sharks are guardians of Seagod Island. If you hold no ill intentions toward Seagod Island, they won't attack passing ships. But if we get too close, it will launch an assault," Zi Zhenzhu explained.
Buzz!
While Zi Zhenzhu was speaking, an intense gray-blue light erupted from the shark's streamlined body. Its size rapidly shrank as the light condensed—a transformation as strange as it was mystical.
Moments later, a tall girl appeared mid-air.
The girl stood about the same height as Mu Chen. She wore a form-fitting white leather outfit that accentuated her perfect curves, radiating an irresistible allure. Her long gray-blue hair cascaded casually over her shoulders, shimmering with crystalline light under the sun, giving her an almost divine presence.
Her skin was pale and flawless, her nose was sharp and straight, and her cheekbones were as defined as if sculpted by a blade. She possessed all the features of a classic beauty.
"What a beauty," Mu Chen couldn't help but mutter.
In all the women Mu Chen had encountered, Hu Liena was the most alluring, Xiao Wu the most adorable, Shui Bing'er as cold as an icy peak, Huo Wu as fiery as a flame, Tang Yuehua elegant beyond compare, and Meng Yiran, Dugu Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing each had their delicate waists. Yet this Devil Spirit Great Shark had a body with curves as flawless as art itself.
"Ugh!"
Xiao Wu stiffened.
"Ugh!"
Hu Liena's eyes narrowed.
"Ugh!"
Zi Zhenzhu stared, dumbfounded.
Mu Chen's meaning was all too clear—he was interested in the girl before them.
"Zi Zhenzhu, without the High Priest's summons, you are not permitted to set foot on Seagod Island," the transformed Devil Spirit Great Shark, Xiaobai, said calmly. Her voice was flat yet carried an undeniable authority, a kingly presence.
"Respected guardian spirit beast, I…" Zi Zhenzhu began.
"Leave at once!" Xiaobai cut her off impatiently.
"Let me handle this," Mu Chen said, smiling as he stepped forward. "I want to set foot on Seagod Island. Do you intend to stop me?"
"Without the High Priest's permission, no one may enter Seagod Island. Unless… you're willing to undergo the Seagod Trials," Xiaobai said indifferently.
"I'll pass on the trials. What if I force my way through?" Mu Chen asked.
"Anyone who steps within ten paces will be killed without mercy," Xiaobai warned coldly.
"Are you sure?" Mu Chen smirked.
Xiaobai didn't respond, her gaze fixed firmly on him.
"How about we make a bet?" Mu Chen offered with a grin.
Xiaobai remained silent.
"No interest? Never mind then," Mu Chen shrugged. He knew not everyone was as competitive as Bibi Dong. Without further delay, Mu Chen's back trembled slightly as his Chaos Eight Wings spread wide. With a powerful flap, he lifted off the ship and slowly approached Xiaobai.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps…
Nine steps.
Mu Chen paused, looked at Xiaobai, and raised his foot to take the final step.
"Courting death!" Xiaobai spat coldly.
She swung her right leg like a whip, unleashing seven rippling gray-blue blades of light. They crisscrossed the air, aiming precisely at Mu Chen's seven vital points. Her mastery of energy control was exquisite.
Xiaobai's attack was swift, but Mu Chen's movements were swifter. With a burst of speed, he soared higher into the air, easily evading the assault.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Mu Chen formed seals with one hand and exhaled a roaring fireball from his mouth. The massive sphere of flames engulfed Xiaobai completely.
Swish!
From within the flames, an intense gray-blue light shone forth. The light grew stronger until Xiaobai's form emerged unscathed. As a sea spirit beast, Xiaobai had exceptional mastery over water—fire attacks were of little threat to her.
"Where is he?" Xiaobai frowned, realizing Mu Chen had vanished.
Wind God's Leg: Sixth Form—Wrath of the Divine Wind!
Suddenly, a powerful pressure descended from above. Xiaobai instinctively looked up, only to see Mu Chen spiraling down toward her at an insane speed. The sheer force made it seem as if the sky itself were collapsing.
Mu Chen's rapid spinning created a tornado around him, kicking up massive waves as high as five meters.
White Shark Shield!
Xiaobai crossed her arms, and a gray-blue light expanded into a spherical shield around her.
But Mu Chen's attack wasn't a simple strike—it was a high-speed drilling motion.
Boom!
When the two forces collided, a shockwave erupted, sending thirty-meter-high waves cascading outward. Xiaobai was blasted into the sea, driven so deep that she was embedded in the seabed's muck hundreds of meters below.
"Was that it?" Mu Chen hovered in place, surprised as he peered into the depths of the ocean.
"Did I kill her?" Mu Chen muttered to himself.
In his heart, Mu Chen couldn't help but admire legendary men like Dong Yong, Xu Xian, King Zhou, and Ning Caichen—each of whom had tales of romances with supernatural beings. Now, facing a ten-thousand-year Devil Spirit Great Shark, Mu Chen couldn't help but wonder if he was about to pioneer a romance with a shark.
"Don't tell me I really killed her," he mused.
Activating his soul power, Mu Chen began gliding through the water, slowly approaching Xiaobai's motionless figure.
