Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 252 The Ultimate Battle of the Whale Sharks
Everyone was surprised to hear this, even the eldest brother Yang Wei was a little taken aback.

"Brother Xiong, the issue now isn't about absorbing the soul ring, but whether we can complete the assessment. This Demonic Orca Clan is far too powerful; we're probably no match for them."

Yang Xiong shook his head: "That's not how it works. The Demon Orca Clan is indeed extremely powerful, but relatively speaking, it also has great flaws. It's not too difficult for us to complete the test."

Everyone was surprised to hear this, even Xiao Bai was extremely astonished, never expecting that Yang Xiong would ignore the Demon Orca Clan.

Yang Xiong continued, "We only have one real chance to make a move. This time, our mission is to kill half of the Demonic Orcas, which means we need to kill at least 150 Demonic Orcas. Otherwise, my assessment will be considered a failure. They will then flee to the ocean, and even I will have no way to pursue them."

Ning Rongrong was a little puzzled: "Little Bear, you don't need to keep us in suspense. How can we complete the assessment?"

Yang Xiong laughed and said, "Compared to humans, the soul beast race also lives in groups, just like our three upper sects."

"But their weaknesses are also very obvious. The intelligence of the soul beast race is generally low, and apart from using their physical strength, they cannot use any external objects."

"In contrast, humans possess all sorts of ingenious ideas and have various forms of development, such as Tang San's hidden weapons, ordinary human weapons, and the soul tools we use. These are the real differences between humans and the soul beast race."

To achieve the assessment target, Yang Xiong had already considered how to truly kill half of the demonic orcas. He believed that the only way to complete the mission was to use poison.

Over the years, Yang Xiong has been tempering his body with various poisons and has also done some research on poisons. Especially after meeting Yang Wudi, he became more familiar with various poisonous herbs. In addition, Yang Xiong also has the Snow Swan Kiss in his hand.

With the effect of the Snow Swan Kiss, killing most of the Demon Orca clan is not too difficult.

The only thing that troubled Yang Xiong was this Demonic Orca King, a true top-tier 100,000-year-old soul beast whose soul rings and soul bones were absolutely priceless.

Of everyone, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Feng Xiaotian have all reached level 80, but it is clear that their eighth spirit rings are insufficient to absorb 100,000-year spirit rings.

Although Oscar has multiple soul bones, he is ultimately just a food-type soul ring, and even in the original story, he couldn't achieve the eighth soul ring after absorbing a divinely bestowed soul ring for 100,000 years.

As for Feng Xiaotian, although he has strong physical attributes, he doesn't even have a soul bone, which puts him at a significant disadvantage.

Among Yang Xiong's group, the only one who truly has a chance of absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone is the eldest brother, Yang Wei. He already has three top-tier soul bones, and he has also undergone tidal body tempering. During the tidal body tempering, his tempering time was among the best, so he has a chance of success, but the risks involved are unpredictable.

Upon hearing Yang Xiong's description of the Demonic Tiger Whale clan, everyone fell silent. Compared to the Soul Beast clan, human wisdom was indeed limitless.

Ning Rongrong asked doubtfully, "Then what should we do? The Demon Orca clan is too huge, and we are extremely fast. If we swim into the deep sea while we attack, the Demon Soul Great White Shark probably won't be able to catch us."

Yang Xiong took out two items from his body, which looked exceptionally eye-catching. One of them was a bright white plant, and every blade of grass seemed to be dripping with water. It was slender and curved, looking like a swan's neck, and was indeed a snow-white swan's kiss.

The other one is a highly poisonous substance that Yang Xiong has collected over the years, called Manjusaka.

This Manjusaka flower may not be the most toxic of all poisonous plants, but its toxicity is very unique. It has a very strong anesthetic effect, and any human or soul beast that gets close to it will be easily paralyzed. It can even have some effect on top experts. Moreover, it is colorless and odorless, and is also one of the main components of the seven-colored flower.

Yang Xiong called the group over and began to carefully plan the battle against the Demon Orca Clan. Even Xiao Bai, who had previously been very hostile to Yang Xiong, was now much more confident.

Three full days later, in the evening, everyone finally prepared to leave Poseidon Island.

Meanwhile, Xiao Bai gathered all the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, totaling over three hundred, and all of them were adults. It seems that the number of Demon Soul Great White Sharks is indeed slightly more than that of the Evil Orca.

Under the cover of night, everyone stood on the Demon Soul Great White Shark and sped towards the territory of the Demon Orca.

The Demon Orca was about 500 kilometers away from Seagod Island. The Demon Soul Great White Shark lived up to its reputation as one of the fastest soul beasts in the sea. Just a few hours later, the group had already arrived at the outer edge of the Demon Orca's territory. Moreover, in order to avoid being detected, they deliberately kept a distance of more than 10 kilometers from their territory to prevent any contact between the two sides.

They waited until the middle of the night, around 2 a.m., before Yang Xiong handed the Snow Swan Kiss and Manjusaka to Shui Bing'er and told her about their specific uses and methods.

"Bing'er, you need to be careful. If you notice anything wrong, leave immediately. The Demon Orca pod is too dangerous."

As for why it was Shui Bing'er instead of Feng Xiaotian, the main reason is that Shui Bing'er can transform into an Ice Phoenix and fly over the sea without attracting attention. The Gale Wolf, on the other hand, is merely a land-based spirit beast, and its flying ability is inferior to that of the Ice Phoenix. Furthermore, it's easily detected by other spirit beasts. Yang Xiong had considered using the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to submerge into the sea, but that was far too dangerous and impractical. Besides, wouldn't the Demonic Orca really detect him?

Of course, Yang Xiong also considered using his sword to release the poison, but his sword energy was too strong and would be easily detected, as the soul beast race has a very strong sense of perception.

Without a word, Shui Bing'er accepted the snow-white swan's kiss and Manjusaka, transforming into a giant ice phoenix that gracefully flew over the sea.

Near the upwind position, the toxicity of the Manjusaka flower is greatly enhanced by the Snow-White Swan's Kiss technique, releasing the poison over a wide area. The toxins are then carried by the sea breeze into the ocean.

After releasing the poison, everyone waited quietly. Judging from the effects of the water flow and the Manjusaka flower, it was estimated that the poison would not truly take effect for two to three hours. At that time, all the demonic orcas would gradually become poisoned from swallowing seawater, and it would happen to be in the early morning, which was exactly the time when all the soul beasts were least alert.

Both Yang Xiong and his group, as well as all the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, had taken the drugs in advance.

Yang Xiong carefully sensed the changes in the toxins in the seawater. The seawater remained unchanged in color and smell, but after so many years of exposure to poisons, Yang Xiong could feel the spread of the toxins in the manjusaka.

Just then, Yang Xiong suddenly looked at everyone and said, "Today is the most crucial battle, and it's the first real battle we've had since we came to Seagod Island. It's a matter of life and death for everyone, so I hope you will try your best not to get injured, complete the assessment, and if possible, choose a good spirit ring."

"Everyone, move out! Target: Demon Orca!"

At Yang Xiong's command, the previously still Demon Soul Great White Sharks suddenly sped up and rushed towards the Demon Orca's camp, with Yang Xiong and Xiao Bai at the forefront.

Upon entering the territory of the Demon Orca, everyone rushed into the sea like arrows shot from a great speed.

Only when they were actually in the sea could everyone truly feel the power of the Demon Orca. To an ordinary person who is less than two meters tall, the Demon Orca, which is over twenty meters long, is like a colossus, much larger than any other soul beast they had ever seen.

Ning Rongrong quickly used the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to buff everyone, while Oscar had already prepared various sausages for everyone in advance, and he himself even followed a Demon Soul Great White Shark to prepare to enter the battlefield.

The demonic orca seemed extremely alert. After discovering the attack from Yang Xiong and his group and the Demon Soul Great White Shark, it let out a series of strange cries, as if trying to warn them.

The remaining demonic orcas also quickly became agitated, each one baring their fangs, and the entire ocean seemed to tremble. This was a battle between hundreds of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts at the same time.

However, at this moment, the demonic orca was much slower and weaker than before, its entire body seemed to be in a semi-paralyzed state, and the circulation of its soul power was obviously much slower.

Normally, they could fight two Demon Soul Great White Sharks one by one with their strong physique, but in this one-on-one situation, they were actually suppressed by the Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

Holding the Crimson Blood Thunder Sword, Yang Xiong followed Xiao Bai like a streak of light in the water, rushing swiftly towards the largest demonic orca, the Demonic Orca King.

The Demon Orca King was furious at the sight before him: "Shameless little white rabbit, how dare you collude with humans to slaughter my soul beast race! You are a traitor to my soul beast race!"

Xiao Bai roared back, "Evil Tiger, today is the day you pay for killing my brother. Today is your death day!"

Yang Xiong moved with incredible speed, instantly summoning his Martial Soul and Soul Ring. He slashed at the Demon Orca King with his sword, and a blood-red sword aura shot straight into the sky, as if the entire seawater was about to be split apart.

However, the demonic orca was extremely powerful and had outstanding physical attributes. It actually spat out a huge column of water from its head, which materialized in an instant and blocked Yang Xiong's sword energy.

The demonic orca's massive tail slammed down on Little White, forcefully blocking its attack.

However, both Yang Xiong and Xiao Bai attacked the Demon Orca King, who was the patriarch of the entire Demon Orca clan, their leader, and their spiritual pillar.

Only by defeating him can we disrupt the entire formation of the Demon Orcas and prevent them from organizing a real battle.

Within minutes, the entire sea was in chaos. Countless soul energies collided, countless soul beasts tore at each other, and the killing aura filled the sky and the sea was filled with the stench of blood.

Compared to Yang Xiong and Xiao Bai's battle against the Demon Orca King, the others had a relatively easier time, but they all fought alongside the Demon Soul Great White Shark against the Demon Orca, almost always in a pincer attack formation.
