"Great Priest, what's with that look in your eyes?"
Qin Xiao saw the cautious glint in Bossi's eyes.
"To my knowledge, little white has no grudges against you, so what do you want with it?"
"Uh, Great Priest, what are you talking about? Do I look like I have bad intentions?"
After hearing Bossi's words, Qin Xiao helplessly spread his hands.
Did he not look like a good person?
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
Bossi asked somberly.
Qin Xiao: "..."
He waved his hand, signaling Bossi not to speak any further.
"To be honest, I want you to summon little white because my next test is to get past the blockade of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks and return to the opposite side. During this process, I can't use soul skills above seven rings, and I can't use the first soul skill or fly high in the air either. Besides that, I can't harm any soul beast."
"Such a task?" Bossi paused, clearly surprised.
If you put it that way, the difficulty of the task is very high.
If I ask myself, without being able to use this or that, even I, Bossi, would not find it easy to pass.
"Great Priest, may I know what your thoughts are?"
Seeing Bossi's somewhat distracted expression, Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Bossi quickly regained her senses, "If it's really as you say, then I can help you."
As she spoke, her figure floated up and landed on the edge of the little island.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao quickly followed.
"Thump."
Bossi's scepter heavily struck the ground.
Before long, Qin Xiao saw numerous large dorsal fins emerging on the sea surface.
At a rough count, there were as many as two to three hundred.
"They're coming."
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed, already discerning the identities of the newcomers.
The Devil Soul Great White Shark tribe.
And even at the very front was a particularly huge figure; Qin Xiao knew this was the king of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks.
"Boom."
A great splash surged on the sea as the king of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks' enormous head emerged from the water.
Incredibly, it spoke human language, with a clear female voice.
"Great Priest, may I ask why you've summoned me? Do you have any orders?"
Upon hearing this, Bossi shook her head slightly, "It's not that I have any orders; he is the one looking for you."
Saying so, she pointed towards Qin Xiao beside her.
"Her." The king of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks also shifted its gaze to Qin Xiao.
"Human, what do you want with me?"
"I need your help."
"Then give up, it's impossible." Little white answered decisively.
But Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "Don't be in a hurry to reject me; this is the will of the Gods."
Gods!
The Devil Soul Great White Shark's heart trembled.
What is this human talking about?
The will of the Sea God, isn't that a divine decree?
Could it even refuse?
"Great Priest, is this true?"
It instinctively asked Bossi.
"Yes."
Bossi nodded, "Getting through the circular blockade is indeed his next test."
"So that's it. I wondered what it was all about." The king of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Qin Xiao: "Scrawny kid, are you really ready? You should know, once this test begins, it comes with the risk of losing your life. If your strength is not up to it, you might very well end up in my mouth or in the mouths of my kin."
Was that being looked down upon? Qin Xiao laughed, "Fate determines everything, it's not in one's control. If I truly end up in the mouth of a Devil Soul Great White Shark, I will have no complaints."
"Well, puny human, I'm beginning to admire you." The voice of the Devil Soul Great White Shark sounded somewhat excited, "I like your kind of tough spirit, crunchy when eaten..."
Qin Xiao: Do I look that tasty?
"After hearing your words, I'm now tempted to have a few bites of myself..."
"Come on, stop wasting time, I'm ready."
Having said that, the Devil Soul Great White Shark slapped the sea surface with its huge tail, propelling itself away.
Its fellow tribe members also found their positions around the Devil Soul Great White Shark, front and back, left and right.
The Devil Soul Great White Shark had some understanding of Qin Xiao.
The successor to the Sea God, a Titled Douluo with a Cultivation Level.
In the distance.
A look of astonishment involuntarily appeared on the faces of several Sea Pillar Guardians.
"We all know Qin Xiao is very strong, but he just passed a test, doesn't he need to rest a bit?"
"Is his physique made of iron? Can he really withstand this?"
"This kid doesn't follow the ordinary path, just watch, he might really succeed."
…
On the other side.
"Then let's begin."
Qin Xiao's voice fell, and he walked on the waves.
However.
The next moment, one after another, the Devil Soul Great White Sharks with their eyes red with excitement rushed toward Qin Xiao.
They were like wolves starved for ten days and eight months, sighting rich flesh.
"As expected, the Devil Soul Great White Sharks are not of the benevolent kind."
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed, already forming an opinion in his mind.
However, he had never underestimated them; after all, as one of the dominating tribes among the sea soul beasts, their strength was certainly not weak.
The next moment, nine Soul Rings emerged from under Qin Xiao's feet.
"This kid actually possesses a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!"
The king of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks instantly let out an angry cry.
Human Soul Masters' first reaction to seeing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring is shock.
The king of the Devil Soul Great White Shark was different; it was enraged.
Inevitably, it felt some sorrow for the death of its kind.
"Listen to me, everyone! We must not let this kid get through our blockade. As long as I live, I will not allow him to pass!"
The Devil Soul Great White Shark king conveyed its will to all its kin.
```
But, the next moment, they all had looks of astonishment on their faces.
With a flash of the third soul ring on Qin Xiao's body, he had disappeared from his spot.
"He, where is he, vanished?"
In the midst of the ocean, the soul beasts, eager to tear Qin Xiao into pieces, were all bewildered.
How could a person just disappear into thin air?
They all began to search for him.
"King, he, he's behind you!"
Suddenly, one of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks spotted Qin Xiao's figure and said to the devil Soul of the great white shark King and its companions.
Whoosh!
The waves surged as the sea soul beasts turned around and, sure enough, tens of meters behind them, the young man stood on the surface of the sea.
"It's teleporting, this kid actually has the skill of teleporting!"
The devil Soul of the great white shark King was dumbfounded.
Space is king.
This kind of soul skill is extremely precious. Normally, such a valuable soul skill should appear only above the seventh soul ring.
Yet Qin Xiao's third soul skill was teleporting, which was preposterous!
And at this time, Qin Xiao was smiling and waving at them.
Angered to death!
The devil Soul of the great white shark King had never felt such fury as it did today.
You've already passed our blockade, why aren't you running straight to the other shore? Instead, you're lingering here waiting for us to find you?
Provocation.
Blatant provocation!
"Charge, charge, no matter what, we must tear this brat to pieces today."
"Don't mind he possesses teleporting skills, he just used them, we still have a chance to catch up with him shortly!"
With a roar of rage from the devil Soul of the great white shark King, its thick tail slapped the water like a bolt of lightning, charging out among the crowd toward Qin Xiao.
"Hehe, now let's see who's faster in a speed contest."
Qin Xiao turned around with a smile.
If the devil Soul of the great white shark King was like a bolt of lightning, that's an adjective.
Then Qin Xiao was the real lightning, the embodiment of thunder itself.
He had reached an extreme speed.
With the speed he was displaying now, not to mention the devil Soul of the great white shark King, even Bossi, Tang Chen, and Qiandaoliu couldn't catch up to him.
With a gust of wind as fast as lightning, Qin Xiao had already reached the opposite shore.
He turned back to the devil Soul of the great white shark King rushing towards him, grinned, and showed his white teeth.
Plunge!
The devil Soul of the great white shark King burst out of the water, opening its huge mouth to swallow Qin Xiao in one gulp.
Qin Xiao stood firmly in his spot without moving or showing the slightest fear.
"Little white, stop."
From afar, Bossi urgently intervened, and her voice already carried a touch of anger.
She hadn't expected the devil Soul of the great white shark King to be so tactless.
But Qin Xiao was too close to the devil Soul of the great white shark King, and it was too late for her to intervene.
"Boom!"
Just when the devil Soul of the great white shark King was about to succeed, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky and enveloped Qin Xiao within it.
Sea God's power descended once more.
In contrast, the devil Soul of the great white shark King was blasted away by Sea God's power.
"The third trial is complete, reward increased by five percent Sea God Affinity."
Passed again...
Moved by the thought, Qin Xiao, with the same smile, turned toward the devil Soul of the great white shark King, which had fallen into the water, and asked, "So, are you convinced now?"
The devil Soul of the great white shark King thrashed about in the sea.
Clearly, it was showing through its actions that it wasn't convinced.
"Little white, you've gone too far."
At this time, Bossi's figure floated over gracefully and landed between Qin Xiao and the devil Soul of the great white shark King.
"Great Priest, it's not like that, I just felt that this guy..."
"Enough, Qin Xiao is the Sea God's heir, you should show him more respect than you show me."
"Is it that hard to acknowledge someone else's excellence?"
Bossi reprimanded in a stern voice.
The devil Soul of the great white shark King no longer held its head high but dipped its massive head into the water.
Like a child that had done something wrong, burying its face in its chest.
"Great Priest, I was wrong. It's not that I find it hard to admit his excellence. It's that... It's that I've never been treated like this before..."
The devil Soul of the great white shark King's voice was also full of grievance.
```
"Your Highness!"
"Qin Xiao!"
'...'
At that moment, coming up behind Qin Xiao were Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, Ning Rongrong and others.
Qin Xiao turned to look over, and the faces of the several women were filled with joy, flushed with excitement.
They looked even happier than if they had just completed their assessments.
"It's fine now, we've successfully passed the third assessment."
Qin Xiao said, generously giving each person a hug.
When he saw the Devil Soul Great White Shark King about to sink into the deep sea, he called out to the Shark King, "Hey, Little White, wait a moment."
After a brief silence, he received an annoyed reply.
"Is Little White a name you can call me by?"
Following that voice, the Devil Soul Great White Shark King Little White, who had already sunk below, surfaced once again.
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, "I am the heir to the godhood, can't I call you that?"
"You..."
Little White shook its massive head, glanced at Qin Xiao then at Bossi, and finally fixed its gaze back on Qin Xiao, "I didn't say you couldn't."
It had backed down.
It truly had backed down.
Little White had calmed down, thinking about its behavior just now, it really felt a chill down its spine.
To think the young man in front of it almost dismantled the very island where the Sea God Temple stood and destroyed the temple itself, how could it have been so hot-headed to provoke his anger.
Wasn't that just seeking death?
"Then that's settled."
Seeing that Little White had become much more obedient, Qin Xiao's attitude also softened a bit, "Now I need you to gather your clan."
"You, what are you planning to do? You're not thinking of wiping us all out, are you?"
Little White instantly panicked, "Qin Xiao, I know you're strong, but this is Sea God's Island after all, and I am the Guardian Beast of the Island personally appointed by Sea God himself, if you attack me or my clan, that won't be okay. The Great Priest is watching, Sea God is watching, and they would never let you do whatever you want..."
Little White was in complete disarray.
It thought that Qin Xiao was holding a grudge because of its earlier offense.
In fact.
It wasn't like that at all.
"What the heck is this..."
Qin Xiao was speechless.
He explained solemnly, "You might not know my personality; I don't hold grudges, if I have a grudge I resolve it swiftly, by annihilating the enemy completely."
This really hit home; this young man wasn't a good person after all... Little White murmured to itself, confirming its suspicion that this young fellow was indeed ruthless.
"But I also have my merits, and that is, once I give my word, I follow through, if I say I will annihilate a family, I will do it without any ambiguity."
Little White: "..."
It didn't know what to criticize anymore.
Was this person the devil?
Too cruel, wasn't he?
Why did it feel like the more he tried to explain and lighten the mood, the atmosphere became even more tense? Qin Xiao had no choice but to cough awkwardly twice, to ease the awkward anger, "Cough cough, don't get me wrong, what I mean is, I'm not saying that I'm going to harm your clan, so you don't need to be nervous, I won't hurt any of you."
What did he mean by that, not going to harm right now? Did that imply uncertainty in the future?
Don't think too much, just think about the day when Qin Xiao inherits the godhood, could the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan still fare well if there was a reckoning?
Little White shivered uncontrollably for a moment and quickly said, "My lord, I'm calling you lord now, does that work for you? I think you must have something you want to ask or perhaps some orders to give? Just say the word, and as long as it is within my power, Little White will ensure it gets done."
Its tone was extremely earnest.
"Hahaha."
Qin Xiao was amused by Little White, "Don't be so tense, it's no use. Ahem... I mean, there's no harm. What I have to say might even be good news for you."
"What the heck?"
"Is there really good news?"
Little White's enormous head showed disbelief, its eyes, as big as lanterns, blinked as it waited for the rest of Qin Xiao's words.
"I need you to stay because it's related to my next assessment. I want you to take me to the Evil Killer Whale territory, to find and kill the Evil Killer Whale King."
"What! Kill the Evil Killer Whale King?"
Little White was filled with shock in its voice as it asked dumbfounded, "You're not joking with me, are you?"
Qin Xiao spread his hands, "Do you think I would joke about an assessment?"
"Okay, my lord, I'll lead the way."
"No, my lord, you ride on my back, I'll carry you there."
Little White's voice was full of eagerness.
Of course.
This wasn't too much; the Devil Soul Great White Sharks and the Evil Killer Whales were arch-enemies, and even Little White's own brother had been killed by an Evil Killer Whale.
If Qin Xiao truly annihilated the Evil Killer Whale Clan, it would be a huge favor for the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan, so no amount of sucking up would be too much.
