Although filled with curiosity, Xiaobai was also self-aware enough to know what she should and shouldn't ask, so she simply kept her doubts to herself.
"Benefactors, seniors, you've returned."
Xiao Bai took out two items from behind her back and presented them to Dongfang Jing.
"My benefactor, you left in a hurry and forgot to take these two things, so I will take care of them for you."
Dongfang Jing looked closely and saw that one of them was a ring-shaped storage soul tool.
Xiao Bai explained that when the Demon Orca King went berserk earlier, it killed many of its demon orcas.
Meanwhile, the demonic great white sharks went out to scavenge and devoured the corpses of the evil orca, thus getting a great boost.
At Little White's command, the great white sharks specially reserved the whale gel from these orcas and put it into this ring.
The other item was a peculiar bead, about the size of a fist, that emitted a tri-colored light.
"What are these...?" Dongfang Jing asked, somewhat puzzled.
"This bead is the whale glue from that evil killer whale king."
Xiao Bai explained, "Sea spirit beasts that are over 100,000 years old will undergo a mutation in their brains, condensing into this 'whale brain' which contains enormous energy. This is an extremely precious medicinal material, and it is a great tonic for any living creature."
She paused, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "To be honest, my benefactor, when I saw this whale brain, I really wanted to secretly devour it all by myself. If I ate it, my strength would at least increase by one level."
"However... a benefactor is a benefactor, and I, Xiaobai, am not the kind of ungrateful soul beast. I cannot do that."
"My benefactor, please eat it when you have time later. Your increased strength may play an important role in your subsequent divine examination."
Hearing Xiaobai's honest words, Dongfang Jing couldn't help but chuckle.
Without any hesitation, he reached out and took the whale brain and whale glue, storing them in his storage soul tool.
"Thank you, Xiaobai," Dongfang Jing said with a smile.
"You're too kind, my benefactor!" Little White quickly shook his head. "If it weren't for you, I would have been separated from my brother forever, and my people would have suffered heavy losses. Now you've helped us get rid of the evil orca king. This little thing is nothing."
Dongfang Jing smiled and didn't continue the topic.
He turned to look at the boundless sea and said, "Alright, now we should go find our last target."
"good!"
Little White nodded heavily and immediately let out a long, sharp screech.
Soon, hundreds of Demon Soul Great White Sharks gathered from all directions, quietly awaiting instructions.
Over the next few days, Dongfang Jing, Biji, and Xiaobai led this massive team of Demon Soul Great White Sharks on a comprehensive search of the ocean.
To find a suitable evil sea spirit beast that is over 50,000 years old in the vast ocean.
They searched for four or five days in a row, but found nothing.
There are many sea spirit beasts that are over 10,000 years old, but those that are generally considered "evil" are not easy to find.
Just as Dongfang Jing was about to lose patience and prepare to return to land to think of a solution, a demonic great white shark responsible for reconnaissance suddenly brought back some unexpected news.
A lone, malevolent killer whale has been spotted in the sea not far ahead!
Moreover, that demonic orca had a cultivation level of 55,000 years.
"The Demon Orca?"
Dongfang Jing was also taken aback upon hearing this.
What a small world!
"This demonic orca is a lone wolf type, and it wasn't born into the same pod as the previous demonic orca king," Xiaobai speculated.
They quickly arrived at that sea area.
A massive demonic orca, though not as large as the Demonic Orca King, was rampaging through the sea, preying on several weaker sea spirit beasts.
The Evil Tiger is extremely fast in the sea, which will indeed limit Dongfang Jing's ability to fight effectively.
However, he still had a plan in mind.
Dongfang Jing devised a plan and successfully pulled the demonic orca into the Hall of Mirrors.
...
Inside the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors, the demonic orca had absolutely no chance of resistance.
In the end, Xie Hu was beheaded cleanly and decisively by Dongfang Jing's arm blade.
As the demonic orca died, a cold notification sound rang out in Dongfang Jing's mind right on time.
[The fourth trial of the Blazing Sun God—Slaying Evil and Exterminating Demons—is complete!]
Overall rating: Pass.
[Reward Settlement: Soul Power increased by one level.]
Hearing the notification in his mind, Dongfang Jing couldn't help but frown.
It's finished, but the evaluation...
The reward was only one level of soul power.
Dongfang Jing stood still and began to carefully review his entire fourth test.
He quickly found the problem.
The problem likely lies in the process of killing the 100,000-year-old Demon Orca King and this 10,000-year-old Demon Orca.
He took a shortcut.
He utilized the properties of the Fiery Fountain and the unsolvable power of the Hall of Mirrors to make what should have been the most difficult battles exceptionally easy.
It is precisely because of these opportunistic behaviors that the final evaluation was greatly reduced.
Having figured this out, Dongfang Jing quickly felt relieved.
Even if he were given another chance, he would still make the same choice.
If there had only been one demonic orca king at the time, he might have fought it fairly and squarely.
At that time, there were hundreds of other demonic orcas eyeing the Demon Orca King.
There's no need to stubbornly confront problems head-on when the simplest and most effective methods can solve them.
It's already quite an achievement to successfully pass the divine test.
Dongfang Jing composed himself, focused his attention, and continued listening to the content of the fifth test.
[The Fifth Trial of the Blazing Sun God - Breaking Through the Realm.]
[The Divine Trial requires cultivating to the level of a Titled Douluo and receiving the inheritance of a deity.]
[Task duration: Nine months.]
After hearing the content of the fifth test, Dongfang Jing was completely dumbfounded.
Cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo?
This isn't difficult.
With his current soul power, if he absorbs the 100,000-year-old soul bone to consolidate it, he will be able to break through to level 90 and become a Title Douluo.
Could it be that... one could inherit the legacy of a deity?
What does this mean?
Haven't they already received the inheritance of the sun god?
Why do we need to get another one?
Moreover, Dongfang Jing remembers that one can only inherit the position of one god, right?
So what does this fifth test mean?
With doubts in his heart, Dongfang Jing left the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors and told Biji and Xiaobai, who were waiting outside, about the contents of the fifth test.
After hearing this, Brigitte frowned, looking puzzled and confused.
Xiao Bai, standing to the side, was also stunned for a long time before reacting.
She suggested somewhat uncertainly, "My benefactor, we should at least give it a try, shouldn't we? Do you remember the Sea God we worship on Sea God Island that I told you about?"
"Why don't you try it out on Poseidon Island?"
Go to Poseidon Island?
Will you accept the sea god's test?
Dongfang Jing and Biji exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of interest in each other's eyes.
"That's true." Biji pondered for a moment, then said, "Disciple, what do you think?"
Dongfang Jing nodded.
"Then let's give it a try."
Anyway, it's just about touching the pillar there to test it out.
If that doesn't work, we'll think of other ways.
