Chapter 37: Establishing Hu Bai as the Spirit Hall Holy Son? News of a Rare Water-Attribute Sea Soul Beast!
"There's one more thing. I plan to establish Hu Bai as the Spirit Hall's Holy Son after he passes the test I've given him. Do you have any objections?" Bibi Dong somewhat calmed her emotions and brought up the second reason for her visit today.
Mighty Lion Douluo snorted coldly, "Oh, you, the esteemed Supreme Pontiff, establishing a Holy Son, yet you still need to come and ask for our opinions?"
Facing the Mighty Lion Douluo's sarcasm—Yin and Yang—Bibi Dong temporarily endured it.
Originally, she truly didn't need to discuss anything with these few High Priests, but thinking of Hu Bai's gaze towards her at that time, a strange sense of compassion arose in her heart. So, she decided to come and discuss it with them to ease the relationship.
Initially, she had intended to establish Hu Liena as the Holy Maiden in the future, but that idea had now been set aside.
Qian Daoliu asked with interest, "What test have you set for him?"
He had no objection to establishing Hu Bai as the Spirit Hall Holy Son. He and Xue'er already had a very good relationship, and in the future, they would unite and jointly control Spirit Hall. That's good!
Bibi Dong explained the test she had set for the three of them, which surprised the five High Priests: "You want Hu Bai to obtain the purple record badge of Spirit Hall before he's twelve? You still have this idea after understanding the ultimate attributes today?"
Bibi Dong nodded. "I believe he will bring us a surprise."
Qian Daoliu chuckled, "Then let us wait and see."
Qian Daoliu smiled, also looking forward to it. Hu Bai possessed extraordinary luck. Even if he couldn't meet Bibi Dong's requirements, he would still be established as the Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

One month later.
Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo finally arrived at Sea God Island by boat.
Qingluan Douluo looked at the vast Sea God Island and sighed. "It's been so many years since we last came here. If I remember correctly, this island should be under the jurisdiction of Sea Horse Douluo, one of the Seven Sacred Pillars. Let's go find him first."
Guangling Douluo said indifferently, "Why go through such trouble? Just release our aura, and he will naturally come when he senses it."
As he spoke, Guangling Douluo's Martial Soul—the Glowing Feather Bow—appeared in his hand!
Guangling Douluo tilted his body slightly backward by thirty degrees, drew the bowstring to its fullest, and shot an ice arrow toward the sky!
Whoosh—
This arrow didn't use any Soul Skill; it was just an ordinary arrow. But Guangling Douluo was a Level 96 Super Douluo. After releasing his Martial Soul, his aura immediately alerted Sea Horse Douluo, who was nearby. Soon after, he saw the arrow explode in the air.
The ice crystals condensed into a few words: Spirit Hall High Priest has come to request an audience with the Great Priestess.
Upon seeing these words, Sea Horse Douluo's expression suddenly changed. Not only did he see them, but all the other Sacred Pillar Guardians saw them and rushed toward their location.
Qingluan Douluo looked at Guangling Douluo somewhat helplessly. "You're too high-profile. Big Brother sent us here this time for an important matter."
Guangling Douluo smiled elegantly. "Of course, I know. My arrow carried no hostility whatsoever. With their cultivation, they wouldn't fail to see that."
Soon, Sea Horse Douluo arrived first. Seeing the two familiar faces before him, he immediately released his Martial Soul, his soul power surging: "Aren't these the Third and Fifth High Priests of Spirit Hall? Why have you come to my Sea God Island? Do you intend to attack my Sea God Island again?"
Qingluan Douluo looked calmly at the 'ruffled' Sea Horse Douluo and said indifferently, "Qian Daoliu, the Grand Priest of Spirit Hall, ordered us two brothers to bring a letter and meet your Great Priestess."
Before the other six Sacred Pillar Guardians arrived, a cold figure appeared before the three of them.
She had skin as white as snow, long silver-white hair cascading like a waterfall to her waist, and she wore a crystal Sea God crown on her head. Her eyes were deep blue.
Her entire being appeared very solemn, possessing both the charm of a mature woman and a sense of coldness.
Bo Saixi's voice was very cold. Looking at Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo, she said, "So many years have passed, and Qian Daoliu sent the two of you. What is the matter?"
Qingluan Douluo took out a letter from his embrace and sent it to Bo Saixi with his soul power: "This is a letter our Big Brother wrote to you, stating the purpose of our visit and the areas where Sea God Island's help is needed. Also, when our Spirit Hall attacked Sea God Island before, it caused severe losses to your Sea God Island. Spirit Hall has come this time with sincerity."
Bo Saixi took the letter but didn't open it immediately. Instead, she waved her right hand, and the three of them instantly vanished from their original spots, appearing in the Sea God Temple.
Upon arriving at the Sea God Temple, Bo Saixi finally opened the envelope, while Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo were somewhat shocked by Bo Saixi's strength, which was truly unfathomable.
Both of them were Level 96 Super Douluo, yet facing Bo Saixi, they felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Soon, Bo Saixi finished reading the letter and pondered for a moment. "I do know of a Soul Beast that meets your requirements."
Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo's eyes lit up slightly, and they hurriedly said, "Please explain, Great Priestess."
"The Mermaid Clan, possessing both water and spiritual dual attributes," Bo Saixi said indifferently.
Qingluan Douluo seemed to recall something and asked somewhat confusedly, "Great Priestess, I remember that among your Sea God Island's Seven Sacred Pillars, there seems to be a Douluo called Sea Witch. She isn't human but rather a mermaid, isn't she? I've always wondered why she isn't human, yet she can awaken a Martial Soul?"
Bo Saixi replied, "You remember correctly, but the Mermaid Clan I'm referring to and their Mermaids are not the same species. The former are Soul Beasts, while the latter can indeed awaken Martial Souls. Our Sea God Island's legendary Sea God is said to have also originated from that clan."
(Based on the Sea God's appearance, he should be of the same clan as the Sea Witch, or at least a closely related clan.)
Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo were also very confused. The Mermaid Clan and the Mermaid—are they not considered the same kind?
All things in this world are truly strange and varied!
However, the two didn't dwell on it too much. Bo Saixi also informed them about a sea area where the Mermaid Clan frequented, which was quite a distance from Sea God Island.
As for their plan to hunt whale-type Soul Beasts to obtain whale rubber, Bo Saixi felt there was a task perfectly suited for them, done with Xiao Bai!
Generally speaking, hunting Sea Soul Beasts would make their Guardian Soul Beast, Xiao Bai, very unwilling. But the group of Soul Beasts they wanted to hunt now were enemies of their Demon Soul Great White Shark!
Yes, it was the Evil Demon Orca group!
With the help of Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo—two Super Douluo—it should greatly alleviate the pressure on the Demon Soul Great White Shark. This could also serve as their compensation for attacking Sea God Island back then. It's a classic case of killing two birds with one stone, and Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo wouldn't lose anything.
