Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 111 The Second Soul Core

Seeing that Xiaobai obediently complied, Li Fei's battle halberd vanished, and he stored all the items on the ice into his storage bracelet. Then he jumped onto Xiaobai's back and shouted, "Xiaobai, let's go!"

"I'm not your mount!"

Xiao Bai shouted angrily, but under duress, he had no choice but to lead Li Fei toward the sea area where the Demon Orca King was located.

Watching the waves recede as the car sped away, Li Fei patted Xiao Bai's head and teased, "Xiao Bai, you're no good either! You're both 100,000-year-old soul beasts, yet you couldn't defeat that Demonic Orca King. You're a disgrace to sharks!"

"How did I embarrass sharks? I'm the only shark soul beast in the entire ocean that's 100,000 years old!" Little White said somewhat indignantly.

"Since we're on the topic, Xiaobai, I have a question!" Li Fei asked疑惑地问道, "The number and variety of land-based soul beasts are probably only a drop in the ocean compared to sea-based soul beasts, so why haven't I sensed many powerful soul beasts in the sea, and I've hardly seen any in a hundred thousand years?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai's eyes immediately filled with dejection. After a long silence, she finally spoke, "It's all the fault of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. In his quest for godhood, he relentlessly hunted down hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the sea, absorbing their soul power to enhance his own cultivation. Because of this, the soul beasts in the sea either died or fled. In the end, if it weren't for Lord Sea God confining it to the Demon Whale Sea, the ocean would probably never see the light of day again!"

"I see!" Xiaobai's words cleared up Li Fei's doubts. Seeing Xiaobai's initial frustration, Li Fei stopped asking questions and silently looked at the distant sea.

"Vast Ocean Protective Shield!"

Activating the Vast Ocean Universe Shield, a deep blue protective shield enveloped Li Fei and Xiaobai, allowing them to continue venturing into deeper waters.

Seeing the blue light around him, Xiaobai finally understood why the Sea God had chosen Li Fei. It turned out that it was all because Li Fei had refined the Heart of the Sea God.

As they ventured deeper, the number of creatures in the sea began to decrease, and a deathly silence filled the area. The only creatures were pods of demonic killer whales that roamed the waters, constantly searching for creatures with soul power.

"The Demonic Orca King also wanted to follow the path of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, so it led its clan to continuously devour the soul beasts in the surrounding seas, thus rapidly evolving itself!"

Looking at the surrounding demonic killer whales, Xiaobai's eyes were filled with hatred. He explained that it was because of the Demonic Killer Whale King and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King that the ocean had become so terrible.

"Don't worry! I've dealt with the Demonic Orca King this time. Once I reach level 90 and become a Title Douluo, the Deep Sea Demonic Orca King will be dead!"

Li Fei gently patted Xiaobai's huge head and said confidently.

"Okay, you focus on dealing with the Demon Orca King for now, and I'll handle the other Demon Orcas!"

Xiao Bai nodded, a murderous intent surging in his eyes. He continuously scanned the surrounding demonic tiger whales, mobilizing his soul power in preparation for a fatal blow.

At this moment, Li Fei couldn't help but marvel at how useful the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was. Even with Xiao Bai's soul power mobilized to such an extent, the surrounding demonic tiger whales hadn't noticed a thing.

Soon Li Fei spotted an exceptionally large demonic orca, over thirty meters long, with a faint metallic sheen on its gray-black skin. This was Li Fei's target—the Demonic Orca King!

"Little White, I'm going!"

With a powerful stomp of his foot, Xiaobai descended dozens of meters in an instant, and Li Fei's figure appeared above the Demon Orca King, holding the Dark Demon Halberd high in his hand, with streaks of black and gray lightning coiling around it.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Dark Demonic Thunder Fury!"

The perfect fusion of the three attributes of evil, wind, and lightning made Li Fei's move more than ten times stronger than before. With a single slash, the evil lightning transformed into a hundred-meter-long halberd that cleaved down towards the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"What?!"

The sudden change caught the Demon Orca King completely off guard. Driven by its instincts honed from years of fighting in the ocean, it instinctively used its life-saving skill: a dozen crimson mirrors layered upon each other, protecting it from above!

"Using soul power to condense the space above into a mirror?! That's quite a technique!"

Li Fei's eyes lit up. This mirror condensed by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could not only defend against and shatter attacks, but also reflect soul power attacks, making the means of attack more varied!

The Dark Demon Halberd pressed down forcefully, and the hundred-meter-long Evil Lightning Halberd instantly pierced the dozen or so scarlet mirrors. "Crack!" The sound rang out continuously, and the dozen or so mirrors shattered instantly. The Evil Lightning Halberd pierced into the body of the Demon Orca King.

"roar!"

Countless bolts of evil lightning emanated from the halberd, beginning to destroy the Demon Orca King's body. The excruciating pain caused the Demon Orca King to roar loudly, its body struggling incessantly. The terrifying power caused the surrounding sea to surge with towering waves, and the scarlet energy beams spewing from its mouth began to attack indiscriminately!

"This is a move that perfectly combines three attributes. How could a demonic orca that's less than two hundred thousand years old possibly withstand it?!"

A hint of disdain appeared on Li Fei's lips. With a thought, the huge Evil Thunder Halberd embedded in the Demon Orca King exerted its power once more, piercing through the Demon Orca King's massive body.

"burst!"

With a single utterance, the hundred-meter-long Evil Thunder Halberd exploded inside the Demon Orca King's body, unleashing countless arcs of evil lightning that spread outwards from the Demon Orca King, instantly covering a radius of ten thousand meters.

Little White, who was hunting the demonic killer whale, also convulsed, spewing black smoke from its mouth, and floated to the surface of the sea belly up.

If even the 100,000-year-old soul beast Xiaobai was like this, what about the surrounding demonic tiger whales?! One by one, they were killed by the terrifying electric heat, turning into soul rings of various colors, and their corpses floated up.

The Demon Orca King was blasted into pieces, with only its brain and a leg bone floating in the sea. At the same time, crimson light continued to condense, transforming into a red soul ring that slowly rotated.

"What the hell are you trying to do?! You almost killed me too!"

Recovering from the paralysis of the lightning, Xiaobai quickly swam to Li Fei, looking terrified, and cursed loudly.

"How is that possible! I controlled the power. Eighty percent of the power was borne by the Demon Orca King, and the remaining twenty percent was only enough to kill those Demon Orcas!" Li Fei said with a sheepish smile, knowing that he was in the wrong.

"What if you lose control?! I'd be doomed!"

Xiao Bai was still shaken and roared angrily.

"How could that be?! With my current mental state, controlling soul power attacks is a piece of cake!" Li Fei chuckled, seeing that Xiao Bai was still angry, he took out a ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow from his storage space and said, "Xiao Bai, here, take this, then don't be angry!"

"Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Marrow!" Little White looked at the meter-long ice crystal in Li Fei's hand with a look of surprise and delight. It quickly swam to Li Fei's side and said with a fawning smile, "Is this really for me?!"

With this ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow, she was confident she could survive the tribulation of two hundred thousand years!

"Here you go!" Li Fei tossed the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to Little White, then glanced at the Demonic Orca King's Soul Ring, Soul Bone, and Whale Glue beside him, continuing, "But you have to protect me; I'm going to absorb this Soul Ring!"

"OK!"

Xiao Bai swallowed the Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice Marrow in one gulp and nodded happily.

Li Fei stored the soul bone in his storage bracelet, guided the soul ring to begin absorbing it, and then swallowed the whale glue of the Demonic Tiger Whale King. The main function of the power within the whale glue was to nourish and strengthen the body, enhance the strength of muscles, bones, and meridians, and increase their resilience.

"Has he gone mad?! How dare he refine a spirit ring like that? Isn't he afraid of exploding and dying?!"

Little White, who was digging out other Demonic Orca, looked at Li Fei in shock. The whale glue was the brain of the Demonic Orca King, and it also contained the remnant soul of the Demonic Orca King. With the addition of the soul ring, even a Title Douluo couldn't withstand it!

Little Bai didn't know that Li Fei's realm had already reached the realm of constant stability, and his mind had long been pure to the extreme. No external force could taint Li Fei's spirit. Even the million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King, whose spiritual power might be inferior to that of the level 99 Poseidon and the Great Elder Qian Daoliu, was not weak in any way.

Refining the soul ring took less than ten minutes, but Li Fei did not finish his cultivation. He wanted to take advantage of the power of the Demonic Orca King to condense a second soul core. Chang Ding's realm was enough for him to condense a spiritual soul core.

The power of the whale glue and the power of the 100,000-year soul ring were completely beyond Li Fei's resistance at the Changding realm. They could only be manipulated by Li Fei, constantly modifying his body and increasing his endurance, all in order to successfully condense the second soul core in one go.

"The way to achieve a complementary Yin-Yang soul core is to merge the power of the two soul cores, or rather, to collide with each other, which will recombine, refine, and condense my own power."

After fully absorbing the whale glue and the 100,000-year soul ring, Li Fei began to recall the method of condensing the second soul core. He directly ruled out the first resonance method and chose the second yin-yang complementary condensation method. Although it is called yin-yang complementary, it has nothing to do with yin and yang. It is just to condense a second soul core that is completely unrelated to the first soul core in a way that is completely opposite to the first soul core!

Of course, it sounds simple, but it's extremely difficult to do.

Li Fei dared to try because of his immortal martial spirit, powerful physical attributes, and stable mental state, making his chances much higher than Huo Yuhao's.

"When Huo Yuhao condensed his first spiritual core, he extracted the soul power from the spiritual core to condense his second spiritual core, leaving only pure spiritual power. What I need to do is the exact opposite of what he did. That is, to extract the spiritual power from the first spiritual core to leave only pure soul power, and at the same time, to press the soul power in the sea of ​​consciousness into the body, leaving only spiritual power in the sea of ​​consciousness."

With this in mind, Li Fei began to activate the first soul core within his body, gradually extracting the compressed spiritual power within it while ensuring that the soul power would not collapse and cause the first soul core to explode.

At this moment, the benefits of the constant state of mind become apparent. The mental state never regresses, and one can always maintain a high level of focus. Every wisp of spiritual energy is drawn out very smoothly. In addition, the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart allows Li Fei to do seven things at once, so that while spiritual energy is drawn out, it can quickly replenish the soul power and maintain the stability of the first soul core.

As time passed, Li Fei's mental power, comparable to that of a level 99 Limit Douluo, emanated from his body, and the resulting mental fluctuations made Xiao Bai tremble in the distance.

"What on earth is Li Fei doing? This doesn't look like he's absorbing a spirit ring at all!"

Xiao Bai dared not approach Li Fei any further and quickly retreated a hundred meters away. If he got any closer, he would definitely be turned into an idiot by this mental force.

Under the effect of multitasking, time passed by indefinitely. Li Fei's spiritual sea was now filled only with spiritual power, while his body was filled only with soul power and blood energy, representing two completely opposite extremes.

"The next step is to suppress the instinctive need for energy in one's mental power while simultaneously condensing the soul core, despite the interference from the first soul core!"

Unlike Huo Yuhao, who had six soul spirits to help him, Li Fei only had his own powerful mental strength and body. As his mental strength began to rotate in the completely opposite direction from the first soul core, the mental strength and soul power began to collide, making the rotation extremely unstable.

Moreover, during this process, Li Fei also had to suppress the instinct of his mental power to draw his soul power. As time went on, Li Fei found that suppressing his instincts did not seem to be particularly difficult.

At this point, he realized that this was the result of practicing martial arts. The most fundamental aspect of martial arts training is subduing the mind, and part of this mind is the body's instincts.

His soul power began to surge violently within his body, even affecting his blood and qi, constantly ravaging Li Fei's body. Strands of blood seeped out from his pores, quickly staining Li Fei's clothes and the sea below red.

"Such vibrant blood!"

A primal craving for blood welled up in Xiao Bai's heart, as if absorbing Li Fei's blood would allow him to reach a higher level. He immediately shook his head, dispelling the thought. Getting close to Li Fei now would be tantamount to courting death. He would wait for the blood to drift over and then absorb a little of it.

As the circular crystal of spiritual energy appeared, the rotation speed of the first soul core accelerated again. In order to destroy this newly emerged entity that was vying for his territory, Li Fei could only focus more of his attention on the first soul core, leaving only enough mental energy to maintain the rotation of the spiritual energy soul core.

The continuous collision of the two forces caused Li Fei's blood and qi to flow in reverse, and waves of indescribable pain surged into his heart. However, under Chang Ding's state of mind, these pains did not affect Li Fei's control over the two soul cores at all.

The spiritual core continued to grow larger, and the collision between the two cores intensified once again. A series of violent forces continuously tore apart Li Fei's body, and his blood and qi began to instinctively repair his body.
