Six hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Zhuqing and Tang Yuehua were deeply immersed in absorbing their respective Spirit Bones, while Davis and Zhu Zhuyun stayed by their sides, standing guard as their protectors.
Meanwhile, Anna stood on the deck of the ironclad warship, watching with keen interest as Sha Hengtian led the naval soldiers in salvaging the corpses of the sea spirit beasts. To her, this was far more entertaining than watching old men sit around fishing. After all, these sea spirit beasts were vastly larger than any ordinary fish.
She had seen plenty of people fishing before, but who had ever seen someone fishing for whales?
Overhearing some of the naval soldiers mention that there would be a grand feast that evening, Anna couldn't help but salivate. She hastily wiped a bit of drool from the corner of her mouth, her anticipation for dinner growing by the second.
During this period, the thick, bloody scent radiating from the carcasses of the Evil Spirit Orcas was so potent that it attracted a swarm of other sea spirit beasts. However, without exception, every single beast that dared to approach was blasted into oblivion by Sha Hengtian and the firepower of the Frenzied Shark Fleet.
Once the six hours were up, Zhu Zhuqing was the first to open her eyes. After successfully absorbing the Spirit Bone, her spirit power had surged to rank sixty-nine, leaving her only a single step away from becoming a Spirit Sage.
As she opened her bright, enchanting eyes, the corners of Zhu Zhuqing's mouth lifted into a soft, beautiful smile. she threw herself into Davis's arms, hugging his arm tightly as she laughed charmingly. "Husband, my spirit power has reached rank sixty-nine! And guess what? I obtained a really good Spirit Bone skill!"
"As expected of my dearest wife," Davis chuckled. He extended his wandering hands, wrapping them around the young girl's graceful waist. Zhu Zhuqing didn't resist in the slightest; on the contrary, she wore an expression of pure enjoyment.
"Tell your husband, what is your Spirit Bone skill?"
"My Spirit Bone skill is called: Evil Spirit Orca Mirror Destruction!" Zhu Zhuqing beamed with excitement. It was clear from her expression that she was in an incredibly good mood.
Pausing for a moment, the young girl continued, "This spirit skill is very similar to Senior Dugu's Medusa's Gaze. It can crystallize an enemy's attack, turning it into a mirror-like crystal substance. This renders the enemy's attack completely ineffective. Not only can it be used for defense, but it can also be used to attack!"
"Not bad! Zhuqing, this spirit skill is perfectly suited for an Agility Attack System Spirit Master like you," Davis praised with a smile.
Agility Attack System Spirit Masters were essentially assassins. While assassins possessed blinding speed, they were inherently fragile—often described as 'glass cannons' who could die from a single solid hit.
Zhu Zhuqing had always fit this mold; if she were hit by an enemy's attack, she was easily injured. But now, with this Evil Spirit Orca Left Arm Bone, things were different. She finally possessed a powerful capability for defense and resistance.
More importantly, when the three of them utilized their Spirit Fusion Skill, Davis would also be able to utilize this Spirit Bone skill to defend against enemy attacks.
"Little sister, congratulations on obtaining another Spirit Bone!" Zhu Zhuyun smiled, offering her sincere congratulations. "Now you only lack a Torso Bone and a Right Leg Bone. Big sister—and our husband—will definitely find the perfect Spirit Bones for you."
"Giggle, I believe you, big sister!" Zhu Zhuqing laughed, then turned her gaze back to Davis with a sweet smile. "Of course, I also trust my good husband!"
"My good little wife~"
Davis hugged his two adorable 'big cats,' feeling a thousand emotions welling up in his heart. With wives like these, what more could a husband ask for?
With Zhu Zhuqing finished, only Tang Yuehua remained. Since she was absorbing an eighty-thousand-year Torso Bone, she would undoubtedly require more time to complete the process.
During this interval, Sha Hengtian had finished salvaging all the ten-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca corpses. The army mobilized immediately, and the fleet pushed forward, leaving that blood-soaked patch of sea behind to prevent any truly terrifying sea spirit beasts from being drawn in.
At the same time, Davis and Anna stepped onto the deck of the ironclad ship. Anna released the aura of the Seagod, while Davis activated his Spirit Avatar!
Transforming into the majestic and awe-inspiring Holy White Tiger, he simultaneously unleashed both the Death God Domain and the White Tiger Domain. The aura of the Beast King soared into the heavens, overturning the surroundings with chaotic power.
The combination of the Seagod's aura and the Beast King's pressure struck terror into the hearts of all nearby sea spirit beasts, causing them to scatter and flee in panic.
Under the protection of these two, the Frenzied Shark Fleet advanced toward Seagod Island at top speed.
However, unnoticed by anyone, a massive black shadow appeared in the deepest depths of the boundless ocean. It looked like a colossal whale, its body size comparable to a small mountain—at least ten times larger than the eighty-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca.
It was practically a Leviathan come to life! A terrifying existence akin to a beast from the apocalypse!
"The aura of the Seagod..."
"Is that little girl the successor of the Seagod? To think it is actually a little girl!"
"The talent of this successor is terrifyingly powerful... her natural gifts far exceed the Seagod of the past!"
"This human fleet is not easy to deal with. Furthermore, that human male beside her possesses such a bizarre Martial Spirit and Domain; he actually brings a sense of pressure even to me..."
"Neither of these two little ones will be easy to handle. Better to wait and deal with them later! As long as I can devour the Seagod's successor, perhaps I can become a true Million Year Spirit Beast and achieve the status of a Demon God!"
The giant whale muttered to itself before acting like a hidden dragon returning to the abyss, swimming silently back into the deep sea.
On the Frenzied Shark warship, another two hours had passed, and the fleet was now far away from the previous battlefield.
As time slowly drifted by, Tang Yuehua suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, and a tyrannical wave of spirit power abruptly erupted from her body.
Gazing at Tang Yuehua's delicate figure, Davis suddenly smiled. After absorbing the eighty-thousand-year Torso Bone, her spirit power had reached rank fifty! She had become a Quasi-Spirit King!
"Sister Yuehua, congratulations on breaking through to Spirit King!"
"Giggle, I have to thank you for the Spirit Bone you gave me, Davis! Without it, I couldn't have become a Spirit King this quickly. This Spirit Bone saved me at least three months of cultivation time."
"Sister Yuehua, tell me about your Spirit Bone skill, won't you?" Davis revealed a curious gaze, eager to know exactly what kind of ability Tang Yuehua had gained.
"My Spirit Bone skill is called Evil Spirit Orca Demonic Fury. It is a pure energy attack, and it suits me perfectly!"
Joy danced on Tang Yuehua's brows; she was clearly incredibly satisfied with this skill.
Although her Disorderly Wind Splitting Blades possessed considerable power, that technique required a period of charging and momentum-building. She lacked a powerful attack capable of killing with a single strike. This Torso Bone had, without a doubt, compensated for this weakness!
"Sister Yuehua, congratulations! In that case, let's take you to get your fifth Spirit Ring right now!" Davis proposed.
Since they were currently at sea, sea spirit beasts were practically everywhere. Finding a ten-thousand-year sea spirit beast would not be difficult.
"Take me with you!" Anna chimed in. "It just so happens I want to test the power of the Vast Sea Cosmos Shroud again!"
"No problem!"
Davis nodded in agreement, and eventually, he and Anna set out over the ocean to search for a suitable spirit beast for Tang Yuehua.
In the end, they set their sights on a Three-Headed Sea Snake with a cultivation of fifteen thousand years. After Anna inflicted heavy injuries upon it, Tang Yuehua delivered the killing blow using her External Spirit Bone: the Vajra Tiger Claws!
Tang Yuehua successfully absorbed the Spirit Ring of the Three-Headed Sea Snake. Not only did her spirit power jump to the peak of rank fifty-one, but she also obtained a formidable Spirit Skill named: Shadow Doppelganger.
For every additional Spirit Ring she possessed, Tang Yuehua could create a phantom image of her Wishful Ring. She could manipulate these phantoms as easily as moving her own fingers to launch attacks. Furthermore, the phantoms possessed the same power as the main body, effectively multiplying her combat power several times over in an instant.
Since Tang Yuehua now had five Spirit Rings, she could create five clones to attack simultaneously. However, controlling five clones at the same time would consume a massive amount of her spirit power and mental energy, so this was not a move she could use lightly.
