"Roar—!!" Kill her!!
A sense of crisis swept through the keen neural pathways of the邪魔虎鲸 (Jiemo Hujing).
In an instant, blades of cyan, blood-red, black, and dark blue light sliced through the seawater and air. Some 邪魔虎鲸 even leaped high, blocking all of Tang Sui's escape routes from above, unleashing their most powerful attacks with all their might, determined to mince Tang Sui into meat paste!
"Boom—!"
A storm of black and red demonic energy suddenly erupted from Tang Sui's center, like a dragon in the sea, churning up swift and deep black-red whirlpools, cutting down any protruding weeds like a lawnmower.
"Roar—!!!"
Piercing howls echoed across the sea. Unable to dodge in time, parts of their bodies were torn off by the blade-like winds of demonic energy. Even more tragic, some had their heads and bodies completely severed, spilling foul-smelling blood and gore, staining the seawater a scarlet hue.
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Annihilation."
A pure black halo flashed, and thick blood-red light poured out. The seductive scarlet and inky mist formed a striking combination, assaulting the eyes of the surviving 邪魔虎鲸.
Panic began to spread. They realized that the spirit beast before them was far more powerful than they were.
They needed to unite more of their kin to kill this spirit beast.
Yes, a spirit beast.
Deceived by Tang Sui's terrifyingly potent aura, the 邪魔虎鲸, who mistook her human-like appearance for a shape-shifting spirit beast, were enraged.
"Roar—!"
They fled in shock and anger, dodging the mask attacks from above.
They even dove into deeper waters, attempting to disrupt Tang Sui's attacks.
Tang Sui, whose scene had transformed from frying fish to spearing fish, remained unfazed. Only when the system alerted her that more 邪魔虎鲸 were entering the detection area did she reluctantly withdraw her hand, ceasing her torment of the remaining 邪魔虎鲸. Before another, more terrifying aura arrived, she deactivated her spirit body true form, activated her third spirit ability, and ascended straight into the sky. Utilizing her semi-transparency, she merged with the moonlight and hid at an altitude of several hundred meters, leaving the furious 邪魔虎鲸, confined to the sea, unable to find their target.
Not every fish was like Kyogre from the neighboring Pokémon world, ruling the seas and able to fly.
Tang Sui's aura, like smoke dispersed by the wind, existed only for a brief moment before becoming untraceable.
The 邪魔虎鲸 King, larger than an ordinary adult 邪魔虎鲸, exceeding forty meters in length, let out a threatening roar towards the empty sky where Tang Sui had disappeared. The hatred and malevolence mixed in its roar caused many spirit beasts who heard its furious bellow to cower and retreat.
"Roar—!!!"
Find them all for me! Dig three feet deep if you have to, find that little ant!
The enraged command was issued, accompanied by a terrifying blood-red glint in its dark red eye, marked by an old scar.
Meanwhile, the 魔魂大白鲨 (Mohun Dabai Sha), neighbors to the 邪魔虎鲸 tribe, began communicating upon hearing the furious voice of their nemesis, the tribal leader Xie Hu, asking if any sharks knew what had happened.
Another exceptionally large 魔魂大白鲨 even led several powerful tribesmen to curiously surface, gazing towards the direction of the commotion, over twenty miles away, and whispering amongst themselves.
"Roar?" Which ones were on watch today?
"Roar roar." It seems to be Xiao Qing, Xiao Jin, and them.
"Roar." Alright, I'll go ask them later if they know what happened with the 邪魔虎鲸.
A perfectly beautiful 魔魂大白鲨, with an expression that radiated schadenfreude in its fierce shark eyes.
Tang Sui, who had angered the Fish Queen and left unharmed, also heard this roar that could travel at least ten kilometers.
Although Tang Sui should have been happy about having her eighth spirit ring secured, she wasn't as pleased as she expected.
Because after devouring those 邪魔虎鲸, as the wind, mixed with fishy and bloody scents, swirled within her domain, Tang Sui, as the domain's owner, felt a fishy taste in her mouth, making her feel nauseous.
It was like raw-eaten a sea fish just pulled from the ocean, without the scales or innards removed—a disgusting sensation filling her mouth.
'I really don't want to kill 邪魔虎鲸 in my domain again, it's too disgusting.' Tang Sui's face was slightly pale. Anyone else might have thought she was internally injured, but she was merely disgusted.
The system's voice was also helpless: [With your current strength, dealing with a group is not a problem, but the other party's numbers must not be too large.]
Tang Sui wholeheartedly agreed.
Honestly, with her current strength, if she were to raid the 邪魔虎鲸's lair, she was confident she could retreat safely, albeit with some injuries.
What truly made her wary were the diverse skills of the 邪魔虎鲸 swarm and the leader of the 邪魔虎鲸 tribe.
That's why she resorted to a surprise attack, minimizing the impact of the "beating the grass to scare the snake" tactic.
[The cultivation years of the few 邪魔虎鲸 you killed earlier have already exceeded 100,000 years, totaling 110,000 years. Do you plan to find a place to condense your spirit ring later, or return to Sea God Island to condense it?]
The system inquired.
With her conscious control over absorption, theoretically, Tang Sui decided when to condense her power.
In the previous few instances, due to urgent situations or passive reception of power, and driven by the desire for Tang Sui to grow stronger quickly, the system would immediately assist in urging the condensation of power.
But now, things were different. The initiative was entirely in Tang Sui's hands to make choices.
Tang Sui pondered for two seconds and said, 'Let's wait a bit longer. The strength of my seventh spirit ring and subsequent spirit rings are directly related to the extent of my future power. It's only 110,000 years now. Since Brother was later able to absorb hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation from the 邪魔虎鲸 King and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, I also want to try to accumulate more power.'
The critical mental and soul power she possessed was not inferior, so there was no reason she couldn't.
The system paused for a moment. [Then shall we return to Sea God Island now? Or the Slaughter City?]
After all, without spirit rings, Tang Sui's spirit power level would be capped at level 80, and further cultivation would only increase her demonic energy. According to Sudancan.com, demonic energy cultivation was best done at night, with weaker effects during the day. Therefore, Tang Sui might as well return to the Slaughter City to continue shining and making a name for herself.
To her surprise, Tang Sui hesitated again. "It wouldn't be good to go back like this, would it?"
This was a matter of her pride.
The system: [......]
[Then what do you want to do? If there are no accidents, you are likely already the top target of the 邪魔虎鲸 tribe, and your appearance has been spread throughout the sea via their unique memory-transfer method.]
Within a few days, the entire sea would be hunting Tang Sui. It was as good as being ambushed every time she stepped out.
Tang Sui understood this logic.
"Sigh."
She dolefully counted her stash of snacks, took out a sweet sweet potato stick, and popped it into her mouth, attempting to dispel the fishy odor, and mumbled through a mouthful of sweet potato:
"Anyway, Brother's assessment still has more than two months to go. During this time, I'll use hit-and-run tactics and spear more fish."
The system: [......]
Understood. She's still greedy, isn't she.

I see some little cuties asking about more updates?
[Indifferent look] With so few votes and comments, why should I update more!
