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

Chapter 289 I Insist on Becoming a God

The island, about 400 meters in diameter, has a huge crater of a demon whale in the center, and is now a ruin.

In the center of the ruins stood a middle-aged man dressed in a dark robe, his black hair covering half of his face. He looked gloomy and domineering, but he was in a sorry state with a fishhook in his mouth, the hook stuck in his mouth, and a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his lips.

But he couldn't lose his kingly aura; his eyes were fixed intently on Su Ran.

"Who exactly are you? Are you trying to make trouble for me?"

"Could you be the sea god's lackey? I never expected that someone who looks like a human would obey the sea god's orders."

"Even if it means we fight to the death, I will never hand over my million-year-old soul bone."

Seeing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's indignant human form, Su Ran couldn't help but smile:
"I want a million-year-old soul bone, but it's not the one on your body."

"I am not one of the Sea God's people. My relationship with you is just a transaction. I use the bait of the world to lure you and satisfy my fishing achievement. In return, you obtain the life energy in the bait, which will allow you to live longer and have more courage to face the legendary divine tribulation. You shouldn't be at a loss, right?"

Su Ran said calmly, "A million-year-old soul bone is beautiful, but a gentleman acquires it in a proper way. The rule he set for the Spirit Transmission Tower of Peach Blossom Academy is not to kill innocent and intelligent soul beasts."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King never attacked the students of Peach Blossom Academy or him. Perhaps it is not a kind and good soul beast, but at least it is not an enemy soul beast at present.

Upon hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was stunned for a moment.

Actually, he was just joking. Even if he were to die, he wanted to die with some dignity, after all, he was the king of powerful sea spirit beasts with the closest cultivation to a million years.

In fact, it had already lost most of its strength due to the strange fishhook and fishing rod. This person really treated it like a 'fish' and was now almost powerless to resist. Its limbs were weak, and it couldn't even remove the fishhook with its own hands.

But now this person actually says that he doesn't want his million-year-old soul bone; he's just fishing for this deep-sea demon whale king for fun.

Those damned anglers are really lawless! They even use me, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, for fishing fun! Damn it.

In all my years of life, this is the first time I've felt so stifled.

No one would believe this if it were told to others.

"You...you really won't kill me?"

"I can't answer that," the Deep Sea Demon Whale King asked uncertainly.

"Ah."

Su Ran shook the fishing line in her hand, and the fishhook that had been difficult to remove from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's hand suddenly loosened and fell off.

"Although I won't kill you, if you hold a grudge against my student because of this, I will come looking for you again."

Su Ran warned.

Upon hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King relaxed completely, the fishhook left its mouth, and all its power surged back.

"No, since you've said it's a deal, I accept it."

"So, do you still have those meatballs? I want to try them again."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King moved its body a little, and seeing nothing unusual, looked at Su Ran expectantly.

That's right, the reason it took the bait was because the bait offered by this ethereal young man was just too tempting for it.

The bait not only increased its physical vitality and blood energy by nearly a thousand years (which is equivalent to life growth), but also allowed it to evolve slightly, which is truly rare.

"No, there isn't one of these. There's only one of these Myriad Blood Droplets. I spent a long time refining it to make it, just so that it would be 100% effective in luring you out."

Su Ran slowly wrapped up the fishing hook, line, and rod, then placed them in the storage box. This was the only set of its kind in the entire Douluo Continent—a god-level fishing rod, extremely precious.

Upon hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt somewhat regretful:

"If I could get a few more pills, my success rate in breaking through the bottleneck set by those damned gods could be increased to at least 80%. It's such a pity."

"The reason you're so confident you can lure me in must be because you know this, right?" Su Ran nodded: "I know a little bit."

"I'm very curious, who exactly are you? If you're not one of the Sea God's people, then how do you know me so well?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King seemed to sense that Su Ran meant no harm, and walked over to Su Ran's side with some curiosity. Looking at Su Ran's handsome face at close range, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King felt a little suffocated.

So handsome!
He's even slightly more handsome than I was when I was young.

You know, when I was young, I was the most beautiful whale in the sea. I don't know how many deep-sea female whales were captivated by me, and every one of them wanted to have a baby whale with me.

"You're famous, and you're the closest to a million-year-old soul beast. It's hard for people not to know about you, right?"

"Hehe, that's true. I'm not bragging, but in the entire Western Sea, if I say I'm second, who dares to claim first? I am the Demon Whale who is determined to break the shackles of soul beasts and overcome the million-year constraint!"

"Upon hearing my name, none dare tremble in fear. Even the great white sharks of Poseidon Island are nothing but a handful; I will swallow them whole."

Hearing Su Ran's praise, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King became somewhat smug. If it were someone else saying that, it wouldn't care, but this was a banished immortal who could subdue it.

"However, you used that... Blood Droplet to lure me in, and I took it. If I survive the divine tribulation and become a divine beast because of it, I won't forget you. But if the Sea God finds out that you helped me, I'm afraid he won't let you off the hook. Aren't you afraid?"

"afraid."

Su Ran said calmly, though she said she was afraid, she didn't look afraid at all.

"However, even if you take this Myriad Blood Droplet, well, even if you take two or three, you still won't be able to pass the Divine Beast Tribulation."

"Because the sea god will not let you go that far, and the gods will not allow your existence."

At this moment, Su Ran had already put the fishing rod into his personal soul tool, glanced at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King indifferently, and felt a little sorry for him.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is a very powerful soul beast, and it is also very ambitious. Without a divine artifact, Su Ran would have almost no chance of catching it.

Unfortunately, in the Douluo Continent and the God Realm, birth and social status are important. And unfortunately, the lowliness of soul beasts is determined by the gods. No soul beast can break through the million-year level and become a true divine beast.

Therefore, the only possible outcome for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was death.

"Ugh, stop talking, it's too painful."

Upon hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's face darkened, and the bitterness in his heart was stirred up. He pulled Su Ran to sit down on the hilltop of the island. Finally, he had found someone who understood him, and couldn't help but say:

"No wonder I always felt that there was an invisible force restricting my growth."

"I really don't understand, what right do those damn gods have to restrict us soul beasts from becoming gods?"

"Why should they, the gods, be able to decide the fate of us soul beasts?"

"I, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, am determined to be that whale that defies the heavens! I have been preparing for this for tens of thousands of years, accumulating hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation. I refuse to believe that I cannot break through those shackles!"

"Fishing Immortal, you're an interesting character. Just you wait and see, don't you dare not show up, or I'll become a god!"

"However, if I fail, I still have a wife and daughter behind me, so don't try to hook them up too."

"Fishing Immortal, do you have any wine?"

"Yes, peach blossom wine."

"Haha, it's my first time having the pleasure of talking with a human. Shall we have a couple of drinks?"

Do soul beasts drink alcohol?

"Soul beasts don't have the chance to drink it, but I'm a divine beast, and I've been to the human world many times."

"Alright, I admire your spirit."
