Chapter 207: Absorbing the Soul Ring of the Hundred Thousand Years Demonic Killer Whale King
"You only had one chance… and you didn't cherish it."
Mo Hui spoke calmly, staring down at the corpse of the Demonic Killer Whale King and the group of black soul rings floating around it.
Among the many black soul rings, a blood-red one stood out the most. It was the soul ring of the Hundred Thousand Years Demonic Killer Whale King.
Mo Hui then said to Pidgeot, "Pidgeot, I'm going to absorb the soul ring. Please return for now."
"Beep~"
Pidgeot nodded and turned into a green light, merging back into Mo Hui's body.
With Pidgeot retracted, Mo Hui lost his aerial support and began to fall. In mid-air, he quickly shifted into Magikarp form, and wearing his golden crown, walked gracefully on the sea's surface. With a few flashes, he arrived beside the Demonic Killer Whale King's corpse.

"Wow, Mo Hui, you're really amazing!"
At this moment, Xiaobai, the Hundred Thousand Years Demon Soul Great White Shark, rushed over.
Upon arriving, she leaped from the sea, transforming into her human form. Excitedly, she moved to hug Mo Hui.
Without changing his expression, Mo Hui calmly extended a hand to stop her. He then said, "I want to absorb the Hundred Thousand Year soul ring of the Demonic Killer Whale King. Can you and your clan help guard me during this time?"
"Of course! You helped our Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan eliminate our greatest enemy. Just leave this to me!"
Xiaobai patted her chest proudly.
Though she had once held some resentment toward Mo Hui, that all vanished the moment he annihilated the Demonic Killer Whale Tribe.
If there was any creature Xiaobai despised most in her life, it was the Demonic Killer Whale King.
That whale not only led his clan to slaughter countless Demon Soul Great White Sharks, but he had also personally torn Xiaobai's brother in two. Just remembering it filled her with hatred.
Now, with Mo Hui wiping out that enemy entirely, how could Xiaobai not be grateful?
---
"Then I'm relieved."
Hearing Xiaobai's words, Mo Hui nodded in acknowledgment.
He then sat down atop the Demonic Killer Whale King's corpse, raised his hands, and summoned the condensed blood-red soul ring, beginning the absorption process.
This was already his fourth time absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year soul ring, so Mo Hui was well-practiced. In just two days, he successfully refined the soul ring, and his soul power increased to Level 87.
Mo Hui stood up, summoned the Magikarp martial spirit into his hand, and examined its changes.
---
"What a pity—it still hasn't evolved into Gyarados."
Looking at the martial spirit in his hand, Mo Hui said with slight regret.
Now that he had attached a second 100,000-year spirit ring to Magikarp, it still hadn't evolved. But the golden luster on its scales had expanded significantly.
Staring at the growing golden sheen, Mo Hui stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Is it going to become Shining Magikarp instead? If so, maybe it'll only evolve into Gyarados after all the scales turn golden."
Currently, nearly half of Magikarp's scales had turned gold. At this rate, Mo Hui estimated that one or two more soul rings would complete the transformation into a golden Shining Magikarp.

Just then, Xiaobai swam over again—this time holding a soul bone emitting crystal light in her mouth.
She said, "I know how precious soul bones are to you soul masters. This one came from the Demonic Killer Whale King—it should be of use to you."
"Thank you."
Mo Hui took the soul bone and gently patted Xiaobai's head.
The moment his hand touched her, Xiaobai's tail flicked with joy. For a moment, she felt as if she had seen the Sea God himself again.
After a while, she came back to her senses and said regretfully, "I've confirmed several times with my clansmen—other than this one, none of the Demonic Killer Whales dropped a soul bone. With so many 10,000-year soul beasts, I thought we'd at least get another."
---
"It's fine. This one is more than enough."
Mo Hui shook his head.
Soul bones are always a matter of luck. Unless it's a 100,000-year soul beast, there's no guarantee of a drop. Even if a beast has aged significantly, it only improves the drop rate.
And when it comes to drop rates—well, as those who understand it know: if it's not 100%, then 99% is practically 0%.
---
"We should head back."
Mo Hui transformed into Magikarp form and jumped into the ocean with a plop. With his left hand, he gathered water-attributed energy and created a long underwater current tunnel.
"Follow me. You're too slow—I'll speed things up."
With that, Mo Hui dashed into the current tunnel and swiftly headed back toward Sea God Island.
With the support of his free-flowing ocean current tunnel, his speed was considerable.
---
"Hey! Mo Hui, wait for me!"
Xiaobai quickly followed, entering the tunnel.
Her clansmen, seeing their leader take the lead, followed without hesitation.
Once inside, Xiaobai was shocked to discover that her speed in this tunnel was more than double her normal swimming speed.
And that was saying a lot—Demon Soul Great White Sharks were already known as some of the fastest sea soul beasts. That's why the Sea God had chosen one as his mount.
But now, Xiaobai was finally learning what true speed really meant.
---
Thanks to that speed, it didn't take long for them to return to Sea God Island.
Upon arrival, Mo Hui did not immediately challenge the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo, because he had more important things to do: absorbing the 100,000-year soul bone from the Demonic Killer Whale King.
However, when the soul bone lay before him, Mo Hui found himself in a bit of a dilemma.
Should he absorb it himself, or feed it to Pidgeot, as he had done previously with the Wisdom Skull Bone of Spiritual Concentration?
Giving it to Pidgeot would definitely maximize the benefit. Last time, when Pidgeot absorbed that skull bone, Mo Hui's soul power directly rose by over three levels. If he absorbed the new one himself, it might only rise by two.
After pondering it for a while, Mo Hui made his decision—
He would let Pidgeot absorb the soul bone.
Right now, the most important thing was increasing his soul power. Everything else could wait.
