Douluo Continent: So What If I Reincarnate as Ning Rongrong?

Chapter 67 The Giant Whale That Swallows the Sea (Part 1)

The sea breeze is blowing.

The warm sunshine fell on the sea, and the seawater shimmered with a blue light under the sunlight.

A large ocean-going vessel with purple sails billowing is sailing swiftly on the water.

At the ship's railing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo admired the undulating seascape, with a gentle sea breeze occasionally blowing, giving them a sense of tranquility and joy.

"So, what do you think of the view of the sea?" Hai Zhenzhu, dressed in a sailor suit and with her purple hair tied up, walked out from the cabin.

"Hmm, very good." Ning Rongrong looked at Zi Zhenzhu and smiled slightly.

"It will take two days to reach our destination." Purple Pearl walked to the ship's side, slightly approaching Dugu Yan's position, and Dugu Yan subconsciously avoided her.

Purple Pearl shrugged and didn't continue to tease Dugu Yan, lest she annoy others.

Her gaze shifted from Dugu Yan to Ning Rongrong:

"Speaking of which, shouldn't you tell me your identities?"

"We come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Ning Rongrong replied calmly, finding no need to hide which sect she belonged to.

"Oh?" Purple Pearl's face showed surprise. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is incredibly wealthy, I've also heard of this sect."

"I wonder what your status is in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" In Purple Pearl's opinion, being able to produce so many gold soul coins at once means that one must have a high status even in a major sect, not to mention that one has a Title Douluo protecting them.

"I am the daughter of the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. As I just mentioned, my name is Ning Rongrong. Next to me is Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, an elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan."

"This is unbelievable. You came to Hanhai City just for the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue?" Purple Pearl was very curious. Ten-thousand-year-old whale glue was precious, but there was no need for a Title Douluo to come!

"For sect alchemy, whale glue must be over ten thousand years old..." Ning Rongrong didn't explain further.

"So that's how it is." Purple Pearl said thoughtfully.

The pills she had previously acquired at auction, and the antidote pill Ning Rongrong had given her three days ago before she left, all seemed to indicate this.

"Since Miss Purple Pearl has inquired about my sect, may I assume that you are interested in joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Zi Zhenzhu was taken aback and asked with some confusion, "I wonder why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would want a mere Soul King like me to join?"

"I'm just a sea spirit master; I can't unleash my full power on the mainland."

The Sea Soul Master's home ground is the sea.

On the open sea, land-based Soul Masters of the same level are generally no match for sea-based Soul Masters, but on land, the situation is reversed.

"You don't need to go to the mainland. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School intends to develop trade in Hanhai City, which is why I extended an invitation to Miss Purple Pearl."

"What kind of business do you plan to do in Hanhai City?" Purple Pearl pondered.

The current Purple Pearl doesn't have the same violent temper she will have eight years later. The Purple Pearl Pirate Gang is only slightly famous, not yet known to everyone in Hanhai City.

"Selling pills and collecting medicinal herbs—the ocean itself is a place rich in resources, and our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a powerful ability to appraise treasures."

"So, what does what you're saying have to do with us?" Purple Pearl asked, puzzled.

"Because I think Miss Purple Pearl has great talent, I hope to win you over."

"Uh..." Purple Pearl was stunned.

Do all you land-based Soul Masters speak so directly?

"We've investigated your personality and character over the past few days before formally inviting you to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Ning Rongrong lowered her voice as she spoke, "Of course, there's another reason: you don't believe in the Sea God."

Purple Pearl: "..."

"In short, we want to develop our influence in Hanhai City. Joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School offers many benefits, and you won't have to do pirate business anymore. Isn't that great?"

"Can I think about it?" Purple Pearl said after pondering for a while. "We'll give you an answer when we get back."

"Okay." Ning Rongrong nodded.

Purple Pearl's vehicle, the Purple Pearl Pirate Ship, headed towards its destination. However, Purple Pearl had not mentioned joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the past few days.

The midday sun was blazing.

Purple Pearl ordered the sailors to stop the ship.

She walked to the ship's side, pointed to the distant sea, and said to Ning Rongrong and the other two:

"The area extending three kilometers in front of this zone is where my ancient ocean-swallowing whale emerges from the water to breathe. Ocean-swallowing whales are enormous and usually live alone, not appearing in groups."

"Miss Purple Pearl, you should know how many years the giant sea whale has lived, right?" Dugu Yan didn't like women with Purple Pearl's personality, but since it was her grandfather's first time dealing with a sea spirit beast, especially one from the deep sea, she was quite worried.

"It is said that the giant whale grows ten meters longer every ten thousand years," Purple Pearl said thoughtfully. "Based on the few times we've seen it, the length of this giant whale is roughly estimated to be around fifty meters."

"A sea spirit beast that's fifty or sixty thousand years old?"

Dugu Bo muttered to himself, beginning to assess the strength of both sides. He was a level 92 Title Douluo, and also proficient in the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Venom. Against Title Douluo-level powerhouses and soul beasts, it might not be very effective, but a mere 50,000 or 60,000-year-old soul beast was a piece of cake.

In this round, the advantage lies with Dugu Bo!

"How long until the giant whale that swallows the sea surfaces?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Just in the next two or three days," Purple Pearl explained. "I just observed the marine life, and there are no signs of disturbance, which means the giant whale hasn't appeared yet."

Each time the giant whale rises and falls, it swallows fish and other creatures within a radius of several kilometers in one gulp. The food chain in this area takes about half a month to recover.

Therefore, considering all the circumstances...

The giant whale has not yet surfaced from the deep sea, or rather, it is still on its way to the surface.

"Is it that guy?"

"Something's coming up; it's a giant whale that swallows the sea."

Sea spirit masters are indeed superior to land spirit masters in all aspects. Almost as soon as Dugu Bocha used his spiritual power to detect the giant creature in the deep sea, Zi Zhenzhu also discovered the anomaly.

She immediately ordered the helmsman to move the Purple Pearl away from the area.

The location where the giant whale might surface is only a limited area, not a fixed one. It's too dangerous for the ship to be there, so the sailors have to keep the ship away from the area where the giant whale might surface.

Everyone looked into the distance, where the once calm sea began to churn with surging waves.

Through the sea, you can see a huge outline, the color of which is different from the surrounding sea surface, becoming a bit darker.

"What a huge creature." Dugu Yan gazed at the silhouette of the dark figure. Although it had not yet surfaced, the oppressive presence of the giant creature in the visual field instilled a strange sense of unease.

Bubbles began to rise from the sea surface, and then, following the black outline, the seawater pounded continuously, forming a whirlpool with a diameter of 100 meters.

Seawater kept surging into the center of the whirlpool, as if being swallowed up by something.

"Hmph, a mere ten-thousand-year-old soul beast dares to show off in front of me!"

Dugu Bo let out a cold snort.

Nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—quickly appeared, releasing the aura of a Title Douluo.
