Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 189 I'm Here to Take Your Soul Ring

When Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo arrived in Hanhai City, it was already evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed this bustling seaside city, gilding every building and every street with a golden glow.

Hanhai City, as one of the few cities on the Douluo Continent directly bordering the sea, is not only prosperous in commerce due to its geographical location, but also unique because of its close connection with the Sea Soul Masters.

Along the streets, all sorts of shops display rare and exotic treasures from the depths of the ocean.

Xiao Han led Lin Zhiruo to an auction house that specializes in selling nautical equipment.

A small and agile nautical vessel, resembling the Longyuan boat, caught his attention.

This nautical vessel, named "Sea Spirit Boat," is made from a rare lightweight metal and a special mixture of materials.

Not only can it travel quickly across the sea, but it can also withstand the immense pressure of the deep sea to a certain extent, making it an excellent tool for exploring the ocean.

Xiao Han took a picture of it without hesitation, intending to use it for his trip.

The next morning, Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo arrived at the beach.

Xiao Han found the old captain who had taken him and Shui Bing'er's group out to sea last time, and prepared to set sail.

More than a year later, the old captain was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Han again.

"Respected Soul Masters, did you not go to the waters around Seagod Island?"

"I went. Those girls stayed there to gain experience; I didn't go with them."

"I see. So where are you going this time?"

Xiao Han smiled and said:

"I think you should know about the Demon Whale Sea, right?"

"The Demon Whale Sea?"

Upon hearing these words, the old captain was startled.

The fishermen and sea spirit masters of Hanhai City have a deep sense of awe for the Demon Whale Sea.

That was, after all, the domain of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a burial ground for countless creatures.

"Soul Master, are you heading to the Demon Whale Domain?"

"That's right. Don't worry, I won't let you take any risks. Just like last time, you can escort me to the vicinity of that sea area, and I'll walk the rest of the way myself."

"That Deep Sea Demon Whale King is the true overlord of the ocean, and he's not someone to be trifled with."

"Yes, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing Xiao Han's resolute attitude, the old captain didn't say anything more.

Set sail and head out to sea.

As the ship slowly sailed away from the harbor, the sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, rushed towards us, and the waves gently lapped against the hull, making a rhythmic sound.

Golden ripples spread across the sea, a breathtaking sight.

Lin Zhiruo stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the ever-expanding sea, feeling a complex mix of emotions.

"Xiao Han, this is my first time going to sea. The ocean is truly beautiful, but it's also full of dangers. That Deep Sea Demon Whale King you mentioned is probably much stronger than the Azure Bull Python, and since the ocean is its territory, it's easier for it to unleash its full power. Dealing with a soul beast like that won't be easy."

Xiao Han smiled calmly.

"Don't worry, Mom, I have a plan."

Xiao Han knew that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was very strong; even Poseidon, the High Priestess of the Sea God who possessed demigod power, was no match for it.

But Xiao Han knew its weakness and could use the extremely hot and cold spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to deal with it.

The ship sails alone on the vast ocean.

Finally, on the tenth day, they arrived near the Demon Whale Sea.

"Respected Soul Master, we cannot go any further. Ahead lies... the domain of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

The old captain's voice trembled, clearly filled with fear of that sea area.

"Okay, I understand. Let's stop here."

Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo exchanged a glance.

Without needing to say more, both of them understood that they could only rely on themselves for the road ahead.

They bid farewell to the crew, boarded the Sea Spirit Boat they had purchased earlier, and continued their journey into the deep sea following the route marked on the nautical chart.

As the Sea Spirit Ship ventured deeper, the surrounding light grew dimmer.

Xiao Han activated his soul power, controlling the Sea Spirit Boat to move slowly forward in the seawater, maintaining a stable speed and direction.

"Minor Cold is approaching, be careful."

"Don't worry, Mom. I know what I'm doing."

The two continued to cautiously probe forward.

The seawater became unusually deep, and its color changed from turquoise to deep blue, as if it could devour all light.

Xiao Han could sense a faint fluctuation of soul power deep in the sea.

That deep-sea demon whale king is on the seabed.

"Mom, it's underwater, let's lure it out."

Xiao Han deliberately released his soul power to stir up the seawater and disturb the deep-sea demon whale king.

Suddenly, a tremendous force came from the seabed.

The Sea Spirit Boat seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand, and then suddenly slammed down.

The immense impact forced Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo to use their soul power to stabilize themselves.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure emerged from the dark sea.

It was that deep-sea demon whale king.

Its entire body is sapphire-like in color, and its enormous body is two hundred meters long.

One eye is blind, leaving only one eye.

The single eye, with a diameter of over three meters, shone like a bright lamp, gleaming with a cold light.

It looks extremely terrifying overall.

The single eye coldly stared at Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo, who were standing in mid-air.

"You two weak human soul masters, how dare you cause trouble in my waters!"

The icy voice seemed to emanate from the sea, and strange sound waves traveled into the air, causing the air to tremble slightly under its powerful pressure.

Immediately afterwards, a massive blue beam of light, five meters in diameter, burst forth from the sea without warning and instantly arrived in front of Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo.

The two were prepared and did not try to take the beam of light head-on, but instead dodged to the left and right respectively.

Lin Zhiruo was immediately startled.

She could sense that this soul beast's strength was far beyond that of the Azure Bull Python.

Seeing that the two human soul masters had dodged his attack so easily, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King smiled coldly.

"It seems you two are not as weak as I thought. You dare to trespass on my territory, so don't even think about leaving."

Xiao Han snorted coldly:

"Demon Whale King, now that we've come to this sea, we have no intention of leaving. To tell you the truth, I'm here to take your soul ring. If you know what's good for you, sacrifice yourself to me, and you'll suffer less."

Upon hearing this, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was both shocked and furious.

"Boy, you have quite the nerve! A mere human Soul Master dares to dream of taking my Soul Ring? You're asking for trouble!"

It seems your soul power is around level ninety, and your physical strength is also quite good. To reach this level at such a young age is truly rare.

"Unfortunately, you're too arrogant to dare provoke me; you're simply overestimating yourself. Fine, I'll eat you then, it'll be good nourishment for my body."

After saying that, the massive body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King churned violently in the sea.

Streaks of blue-purple light shot out from its giant tail, heading straight for Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo in the air.
