Chapter 151: A New Plan
Just as the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiaobai was reeling in shock, Mo Hui rushed forward rapidly.
Although he didn't activate his lightning-speed amplification, with the enhancement of the Delta Airflow, Mo Hui's speed was still fast enough—and he quickly closed the distance to Xiaobai.
Seeing this, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiaobai sneered with disdain:
> "A mere human dares to compete with our demon shark clan in raw strength?"
Although she mocked him outwardly, she remained extremely cautious in her heart.
Back in the Ring Sea, she had experienced the terrifying power of Mo Hui's Storm Fist, which left a deep impression on her. Now that they were on land, where her strength was far below her sea-born might, it would be humiliating if she underestimated him and got flipped.
So Xiaobai quickly began condensing several blue-gray energy blades to attack.
But to her surprise, the condensation speed was much slower than usual—as if she were affected by Mo Hui's domain.
By then, Mo Hui had already arrived in front of her. The muscles of his right arm bulged, and he threw a heavy punch.
Xiaobai tried to dodge, but under the effects of the wind field, even her movement was sluggish. She could only watch as Mo Hui's fist landed.
Bang!
A solid punch struck her, causing her body to bend forward sharply.
But Mo Hui wasn't done. His fists pounded down like a storm, raining blow after blow onto her, each strike echoing with impact.
In front of the Sea God Temple, Poseidon was utterly stunned.
She had initially planned to step in and stop this farce once Xiaobai attacked. After all, no matter how talented Mo Hui was, he was just a Soul Emperor—he shouldn't be able to stand against a 100,000-year-old spirit beast.
But reality had taken a dramatic turn.
Even if Xiaobai was in human form and on land, she was still a 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark. For her to be overpowered by Mo Hui, who was only at level 67, was unbelievable!
After a while, Xiaobai reverted to her original form, breaking free from the barrage and retreating.
With anger burning in her eyes, she growled:
> "You despicable human! You've gone too far!"
She was a mighty 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast, yet she had been pummeled by a mere Soul Emperor. Even if the injuries weren't serious, how was she supposed to show her face in the sea again?
But Mo Hui simply replied coolly:
> "You're the one who attacked me first. Besides, you should be grateful this is just my second test and that my martial spirit and spirit skills are sealed."
> "Otherwise, what you suffered just now wouldn't be so shallow."
If the eagle were still with him and his spirit skills weren't sealed, Mo Hui might have actually defeated Xiaobai. After all, spirit beasts lost at least 30% of their strength on land—more so when transformed into human form.
And now, with Mo Hui's Delta Airflow directly neutralizing her Demon Shark Domain, one of her trump cards, her strength had dropped even further.
A 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark might be comparable to a Level 96 Titled Douluo, but under all these negative effects, Xiaobai's combat ability was roughly that of an ordinary Titled Douluo—and she didn't possess any heaven-defying skills. To Mo Hui, her threat level wasn't particularly high.
> "Arrogant!!!"
Hearing Mo Hui's almost contemptuous tone, Xiaobai flew into a rage. Even her long-time rival, the Evil Demon Killer Whale King, had never dared to look down on her like this.
> Do you think you're the Sea God or something!?
Just as she was about to teach this arrogant human a lesson, a figure in a red robe suddenly appeared before her.
> "Xiaobai, that's enough."
> "Mo Hui is the successor chosen by the Sea God. If you continue acting so rashly, you'll be punished."
Poseidon looked calmly at the transformed shark and spoke sternly.
Xiaobai shuddered at the thought of being personally taught a lesson by the Sea God. She turned to Mo Hui and snorted coldly:
> "Hmph! For the High Priest and the Sea God's sake, I'll let you go this time!"
With that, she leapt back into the Ring Sea.
After she left, Poseidon looked at Mo Hui and apologized:
> "Sorry for the interruption. Xiaobai has always been like that—don't take it to heart."
> "No problem, Senior Poseidon," Mo Hui replied with a shake of his head.
Poseidon added:
> "I'll remain nearby and observe. If you need anything, just call me."
Mo Hui nodded and resumed his training, focusing on studying the underwater version of the Whirlwind Technique. Soon, a massive whirlpool once again formed in the Ring Sea.
Xiaobai, still lurking in the waters, saw the whirlpool begin forming again—and her face darkened.
But this time, after the Sea God's warning, she only snorted coldly in dissatisfaction and didn't dare leap ashore to attack again.
Still, she made up her mind:
> "The next time this guy crosses the sea, I'm going to beat him senseless. Otherwise, I'll never get over this shame!"
---
Ten days later.
Mo Hui looked at the massive rotating blue energy sphere in his palm and smiled.
After eighteen days, he had finally perfected the self-created spirit skill he had envisioned at the start. And thanks to his deep study of the whirlwind these past days, his control over the second stage of the Storm Fist had improved significantly.
But these weren't his biggest gains.
The most valuable outcome was that he had finally gotten familiar with the Magikarp Martial Spirit.
Its characteristic was simple but powerful: free swimming—as long as he made contact with water, his speed doubled!
Initially, Mo Hui wanted to use the air zone created by the second stage of Storm Fist to cross the Ring Sea, not only because the storm could block the arrow-shaped black fish in the sea, but also because he believed his speed underwater was inferior to his speed in the air.
That made him vulnerable to attacks from sea creatures—especially the 100,000-year Demon Soul Great White Shark. And in water, she would be even more terrifying.
But now, Mo Hui had realized something:
> After merging with the Magikarp Martial Spirit, he wasn't as weak in water as he once thought.
Having gained a clear understanding of his new capabilities, Mo Hui now had a new plan to clear the second test!
