Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 225 Ocean Divine Beast Bloodline: Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast

"Not only did the fishing line break, but the fishing rod also cracked."

Su Ran placed the fishing rod in front of Shui Bing'er and the other disciples. The fishing line on the rod had broken and bounced back into a messy spring shape because it had been stretched to its limit. The middle of the fishing rod was also broken and forked.

He spent several hours luring the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the Demon Whale Sea, putting all his strength into it, with the mindset that he would either be dragged into the water by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King or catch it ashore. But at the crucial moment, the line broke and the rod snapped!
This made the teacher very sad!
"Alright, teacher, a 100,000-year-old soul beast is still a 100,000-year-old soul beast. It's normal that you can't catch it. At least one thing is certain: you are definitely the number one person to catch a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

Meng Yiran comforted the teacher.

"Yeah, yeah, if it were anyone else, let alone fishing for a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast, they wouldn't even dare to hunt it, right?"

"That's true. After all, this Demon Whale King isn't an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast, so it's normal that it wasn't easy to catch. But I won't give up so easily."

"Girls, if we want to accomplish something, we must persevere. Persistence is victory."

Su Ran didn't say that he was fishing for a million-year-old soul beast, not a hundred-thousand-year-old one.

But he pulled out a new golden fishing rod from behind him, which exuded a sacred aura and was clearly not an ordinary object. Su Ran's eyes were very firm.

"Teacher, do you still want to go and fish for that 100,000-year-old soul beast again?"

Shui Bing'er was somewhat speechless; her teacher's interest was truly different from that of ordinary people.

"That's right, of course I'm going to fish. My old fishing rod broke, but luckily I got a new one. I'm sure this one won't break again."

Su Ran looked at the golden fishing rod in her hand with satisfaction. This was the reward the system had given her for the two hours of "whale walking"—a divine fishing rod.

Although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King escaped this time, Su Ran still received considerable fishing rewards. In addition to a divine fishing rod, Su Ran also received a full set of soul rings and soul bone upgrades worth over 30,000 years, drew several sets of master-level water-based cultivation techniques, as well as other water-based soul bones, water-based physique enhancement essences, and so on.

With the increase of over 30,000 years, coupled with the feedback from teaching disciples during this period, Su Ran's soul power has achieved a small breakthrough, reaching level 97. Such a configuration is unmatched in the current Douluo Continent and sea areas, and is comparable to a demigod.

However, the ultimate reward from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King—a 900,000-year-old soul bone—and the near-ultimate boost to his affinity with water-type disciples are still nowhere to be found. That's a 900,000-year-old soul bone; even Teacher Su Ran is tempted. If he could absorb a 900,000-year-old soul bone, it would likely be enough for Su Ran to directly break through to the peak level 98 Douluo, further enhancing his strength.

Although Teacher Su Ran's current strength is enough to travel the world and traverse the continent, since he wants to teach his disciples the path to enlightenment, he must first reach that level himself, otherwise it would be just empty talk.

This also puts some pressure on Su Ran.

"So, teacher, are you going to continue fishing now? If you plan to continue fishing for that 100,000-year-old soul beast in the Demon Whale Sea, we can wait here for your good news," Dugu Yan said.

"No, this deep-sea demon whale king is more intelligent than ordinary soul masters. After this fishing trip, it probably won't bite the hook so easily again. Let's take you girls to train first, and then find another opportunity to lure it when we get back."

Su Ran sighed and said that when he was fishing just now, he clearly felt that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's reaction was very intense.

Pulled by the struggling fishing rod, the enormous demonic whale leaped from the seabed, creating a towering wave. Its eyes, larger than a human head, glared at Su Ran, as if to say:

Damn humans! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're handsome and don't take me seriously!

I am a soul beast closest to a million years old. If I were in ancient times, I might have already advanced to a true divine beast! You actually want to lure me up? Insult! This is a blatant insult! What do you take me, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King? Some nobody?
If you lure me in like this, how can I save face?!

oooo~
A whale's cry echoed across the sea, and then with a bang, the fishing line snapped.

"What's so great about seducing the Demon Whale? Why not seduce someone else instead? If the Demon Whale won't bite, I'll gladly bite the teacher's hook, *slurp*"

Meat hooks are best.

Shuiyue'er blushed and muttered to herself as she squatted down in front of her teacher, taking a deep breath of the scent emanating from his lower body—an epic experience.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he reached out and casually touched the four-legged sea spirit beast at the teacher's feet, which resembled a Qilin and had a dragon's mouth, fish scales, and deer antlers, and looked up to ask:

"Teacher, what is this little guy? I don't think I've seen any record of this kind of sea spirit beast in the West Sea records. I thought it was the 100,000-year-old spirit beast that you fished up."

At this moment, Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran also showed a hint of confusion in their eyes.

The sea spirit beast, resembling a Qilin, nestled close to Su Ran, appearing to be very dependent on and fond of him.

Su Ran smiled faintly:

"Its name is the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast. Once it reaches adulthood, it can be ridden to go anywhere, whether in the sky or the sea. It has the bloodlines of dragons and divine beasts. Consider it an unexpected bonus for me when I failed to catch the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Don't bully it. This little guy can't smell anything, so he doesn't feel safe."

"Dragons, divine beasts?! They sound even rarer than 100,000-year-old soul beasts!"

When the teacher revealed the origin of the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, the disciples were quite surprised. They hadn't expected that such a cute and shy soul beast would possess the bloodline of a divine beast.

"It has been several years since I last saw Dean Su. His strength has greatly improved. He was able to fish for a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast all by himself. This has truly broadened my horizons. I am also delighted to have acquired a mount with the bloodline of a divine beast. Congratulations."

At that moment, Tang Hao and Tang San cupped their hands and spoke.

Su Ran's expression gradually turned indifferent; she immediately saw through the intentions of the father and son.

"It's you. What, you're also going to Poseidon Island? What are you doing on our Peach Blossom Spring? Trying to cause trouble?"

“Stirring up trouble? No, no, no, Dean Su has misunderstood. We have always maintained friendly relations with Taoyuan Academy and would never stir up trouble.”

"Oh? Could it be that Teacher Su and you are also going to Seagod Island?" Tang San asked in surprise.
