"I overthought it? Overthought what?" Xiao Bai was puzzled.
"Well..." Rongrong said awkwardly, "My fourth assessment is to ensure you don't die. If you die, I will fail the fourth test."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai immediately understood, realizing that indeed, she had overthought it.
Xiao Bai took two steps back and scoffed, "So that's it. I really overthought it, what a waste of feelings."
Ning Rongrong smiled, "But I genuinely don't want you to die either. You're already our friend."
"Alright, I'm not angry. Let's set off then!"
Xiao Bai leapt into the sea, transforming into her true form.
Xiao Bai, as the foremost shark, took the lead, guiding the group in a grand procession.
Ye Yu and the other eight landed on the backs of eight massive Ten-thousand-year-old Demon Soul Great White Sharks that followed Xiao Bai.
The swimming speed of the Demon Soul Great White Shark was fast. Ye Yu and the others, riding on them, held onto the back, unable to stand on the shark's head like Tang San, but gripping the dorsal fin to keep their balance.
Bai Shenxiang was also there, but she wasn't in the sea. She flew in the air, using her soul techniques to keep up as the Demon Soul Great White Sharks sped ahead.
The speed that the Demon Soul Great White Sharks displayed was their true speed. Previously, the surrounding blockade couldn't use its full strength. Now, seeing their speed, Tang San and the others became serious, knowing the Evil Demon Tiger Whales would be even more challenging to deal with.
Tang San was contemplating tactics, his brow slightly furrowed.
Ye Yu asked, "Xiao San, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm considering tactics to reduce casualties. In battle, wisdom is part of strength."
Ye Yu said, "No need for such trouble, watch me later."
"Alright."
Even though wisdom is part of strength, in the face of absolute power, wisdom is useless.
A distance of ten thousand miles was covered in just an hour, and the Demon Soul Great Sharks slowed down.
Ye Yu asked, "Xiao Bai, still worried?"
"Hmm, even if we win, it will definitely come at a great cost."
Ye Yu solemnly said, "Then let's accomplish the task without paying any price."
Xiao Bai was surprised, was that even possible?
Ye Yu nodded, "It's possible."
Xiao Bai was curious, "How will you do that?"
"You take me close to the Evil Demon Tiger Whale group. I need to reach the central area of their clan."
Xiao Bai reminded, "The central area is where the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King resides. Its spiritual power is tremendously strong, with a kind of detection ripple method. Any energy creature within ten miles will be sensed. Reaching the central area is impossible."
Ye Yu said, "Xiao San, use your Vast Sea Qiankun Shield on me and Xiao Bai."
"Alright."
Tang San nodded and summoned the Vast Sea Qiankun Shield.
Ye Yu looked at Xiao Bai, "You'll be my mount, and we'll go alone."
Xiao Bai was taken aback, "You want to ride me?"
"Yes. You're in your true shark form now, right?"
"Okay, then come on up."
Ye Yu jumped onto Xiao Bai's back, gripping the dorsal fin.
Ye Yu said, "With the Vast Sea Qiankun Shield, we can go undetected. Once inside the central area, I'll release poison to spread from the center to the entire whale group. With my current poisonous milk soul technique, I can cover the entire Demonic Whale clan."
Xiao Bai frowned, "Using poison? We sea soul beasts, although without poison resistance, with our powerful soul power, large bodies, and immunity can withstand poison, won't it be ineffective?"
Ma Hongjun said, "Boss Yu's poisonous milk is terrifying and will definitely poison a large area."
Ye Yu nodded, "My poisonous milk is now even more potent, but with many at the Ten Thousand Years Level among the Evil Demon Tiger Whales, they won't die from poison, but most will, and a few will be severely injured. At that time, Xiao San and the others will take action to eliminate them one by one."
Xiao Bai asked, "Then what should I and my clan do? Once you and I reach the central area, should we battle the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King together?"
Ye Yu shook his head, "No need, my task is to defeat the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King alone."
Xiao Bai was stunned, "Then what do we do?"
Ye Yu said casually, "Nothing, if it's too leisurely, just cheer '666' from the side."
Xiao Bai: "..."
Xiao Bai was surprised. Initially, she thought it would be a great battle, incurring significant costs, but now they wouldn't even need to lift a finger?
"Let's begin."
As Ye Yu spoke, Xiao Bai advanced slowly. Although invisible under the Vast Sea Qiankun Shield, their movements must not cause water ripples.
Despite Xiao Bai's large size, stabilizing the water without causing ripples was easy.
As they approached, they could see the Evil Demon Tiger Whale group from afar, and Ye Yu instructed Xiao Bai to dive, proceeding from the bottom.
Diving to the deepest point, visibility was lost to observe the whale group, and using spiritual power to probe out would undoubtedly be detected.
"What should we do?" Xiao Bai asked.
"Leave it to me."
Ye Yu concentrated, his spiritual waves passing through the Vast Sea Qiankun Shield to sense outside, stunning Xiao Bai.
Ye Yu's spiritual power seemed to merge with the seawater, causing no spiritual waves, becoming part of the ocean.
Xiao Bai was astounded. In her understanding of spiritual sense, traces should be left, but Ye Yu's spiritual sense left none, keeping the seawater above utterly calm.
Xiao Bai was shocked. Ye Yu's spiritual power was terrifyingly beyond hers, strong enough to leave no disturbance.
Ye Yu held Xiao Bai's dorsal fin with his left hand and pressed his right hand on her back, transmitting spiritual waves to connect with Xiao Bai's spiritual power. Xiao Bai was startled, spiritual detection sharing?!
This way, what Ye Yu detected spiritually, she could also share. Again, she was astonished, Ye Yu's spiritual power far exceeded hers, and even the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King, surpassing even Poseisy.
Through spiritual detection, Ye Yu saw every Evil Demon Tiger Whale, each twice the size of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, lacking the streamlined beauty of the great whites, full of strength, gray-black all over, with huge heads and sword-like teeth when they opened their jaws, and dark red eyes filled with a fierce aura.
Under the central area, Ye Yu detected a thirty-meter-long Evil Demon Tiger Whale, its gray-black skin shimmering with a faint metallic sheen, clearly the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King.
Xiao Bai ascended carefully, not disturbing the water flow.
Meanwhile, in the distance from the Demon Whale Clan, Tang San and others were prepared, taking out their Zhuge Divine Crossbows and selecting crossbow arrows smeared with poison.
Tang San said coldly, "Perhaps we won't need much effort to kill many Evil Demon Tiger Whales. Once Brother Yu uses his poisonous milk and all the Evil Demon Tiger Whales are poisoned, the weaker ones will die outright, and the stronger ones will be heavily affected, severely diminishing their strength, speed, and reaction. Though the launch speed of hidden weapons is affected underwater, at that time, Fatty will unleash full firepower, evaporating the seawater under the Phoenix Domain."
Ma Hongjun nodded, "Got it!"
Oscar said, "Even if some whales can't be directly poisoned to death, there are about two hundred at the Ten Thousand Years Level. These are equivalent to ordinary hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, even when seriously injured, they are extremely powerful. The Zhuge Divine Crossbow is formidable, but can it kill them?"
Tang San said, "The poison on the crossbow arrows is called Blazing Sun Spring, extracted by me from the Extreme Cold Fire Pool in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. It's extremely hot. Sea soul beasts are water attribute, thus the Blazing Sun Spring restrains them, not burning on the surface but inside. Fired by the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and piercing their bodies, the Blazing Sun Spring will spread internally, even a Titled Douluo would perish, bodies incinerated to ash."
The power of Blazing Sun Spring rivals the poison of the Yama Sticker.
Upon hearing this, Oscar and others were deeply shaken by the terrifying poison.
Originally thought to be a deadly battle, but with Ye Yu's poisonous milk and Tang San's hidden weapons and poison, it would be much easier, not needing the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan to act, perhaps achieving the task without losing a single soldier, eradicating the Evil Demon Tiger Whale clan.
