Chapter 300 - 300: Fishing! Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!
Based on Rei Ao's observations upon arriving in this world, it seems that "Secret Room Douluo" really is planning some kind of secret room operation. In other words, it might be related to that oddball Yu Xiaogang. And indeed, his guess was correct.
Noticing that Rei Ao wasn't planning on discussing the matter of the final reward yet, Bibi Dong felt powerless. But due to the absolute gap in strength, she had no choice but to lower her head for now. Even her teacher—a Titled Douluo—didn't know how he died; how much less could she, a mere Soul Douluo, stand a chance? So she recounted the whole story, also letting out the bitterness in her heart.
"Why did my teacher...?"
She couldn't understand why the teacher she had always revered would show such a revolting look in his eyes.
After hearing her out, Rei Ao was rather surprised. He had originally thought that Bibi Dong broke off with Qian Xunji because she liked Yu Xiaogang, but he hadn't expected there to be a small misunderstanding in all this. Still... a "Romance Continent" that isn't all about romance? Would that even make sense?
"Your teacher, all I can say is that he lusted after your beauty and talent. He's a scumbag. However, I also think your own behavior was quite foolish."
"Foolish?"
Bibi Dong frowned. "Why do you say that?"
She wasn't angry; rather, she was genuinely curious to hear the view of this outsider who otherwise had nothing to do with the situation. Rei Ao pointed at the luxurious platinum robe she was wearing.
"Do you know what you're wearing right now?"
That was the attire of the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall.
"This represents your status. Everything you have now is thanks to Spirit Hall. You should also know the relationship between Spirit Hall and the Three Upper Sects. As the Holy Maiden, you've grown so close to the Three Upper Sects, even letting Yu Xiaogang read Spirit Hall's collected tomes. Don't you think that's rather inappropriate?"
"..."
Bibi Dong was stunned. She was aware that Spirit Hall's relationship with the Three Upper Sects was very strained and far from friendly. Reflecting on it, she realized that her actions really had been improper.
"But at least I wasn't wrong about one thing—Yu Xiaogang is very knowledgeable."
She wanted to believe there was at least something correct in what she did. Unfortunately...
"Heh."
Rei Ao snorted.
"Didn't you say that around the age where others are already Soul Elders or Soul Ancestors, he's still stuck at a Grand Soul Master? If he were truly capable, would it have come to that?"
He turned to Bibi Dong and asked, "Doesn't he have a theory called 'There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters'?"
"How do you know that?!"
Bibi Dong was taken aback. Could it be that Rei Ao had also read Yu Xiaogang's theories?
"I just happened to find out." Rei Ao waved it off casually, then posed another question: "Don't you think that no matter how you look at it, if we go by his own theory, he himself is the 'useless soul master'?"
Yu Xiaogang had a mutated martial spirit. As the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's sect master, he'd taken all kinds of potent medicines. Yet he was still stuck at the Grand Soul Master realm. If that's not 'useless,' what is?
Following Rei Ao's prompt, Bibi Dong suddenly noticed the contradictions. No matter which angle you look at it from, the result is the same: If the theory is correct, then he's a useless soul master; if he's not useless, then that undermines the theory. Either way, Yu Xiaogang appears highly questionable.
Seeing Bibi Dong's thoughtful expression, Rei Ao offered a final piece of advice.
"Until now, you've been living in Spirit Hall, ignorant of worldly matters. Naturally, you don't understand how complicated people's hearts can be. If you get the chance, go out and meet different kinds of people. Otherwise, if you get tricked, you might end up giving them money, too."
With that, he stood up.
"There's work to be done."
Bibi Dong, lost in Rei Ao's words, was still reeling. In that brief moment of distraction—
Rumble...
Clatter, clatter!
"Roar!!!"
"Bzz!!!"
Sea spirit beasts of every shape and size boiled up from the ocean like a seething hotpot.
"!!!"
Bibi Dong leapt up in alarm. Beyond the terror of seeing a whole horde of soul beasts, many were huge creatures with such immense auras that they made her feel stifled—beasts at least eighty or ninety thousand years old, maybe even a hundred thousand.
They frenziedly vaulted from the surface, trying to devour the black orb of magic power in midair that shone with a strange, eerie light. Their deepest greed had been ignited, sending them into a mindless rage as they tore apart all "competitors" around them. In an instant, the surrounding sea turned into a river of blood.
Encircled by so many soul beasts—was that not a disaster waiting to happen? Bibi Dong was shocked. Even as Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall who once hunted soul beasts under the protection of a Titled Douluo, she had never witnessed anything like this. If it were anyone else, this might spell doom.
But in Rei Ao's eyes, it was just a trifle. Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts might look terrifying, but to him they were just small fries of around Level 25. He then proceeded to show Bibi Dong what true power looked like. He merely glanced over from the sky and sighed:
"The creatures of the sea truly haven't disappointed me. Then you shall all become my experience points."
Rei Ao clenched his right fist.
Boom!
The sea, which had been churning in blood, instantly transformed into a blazing inferno. The ocean began to evaporate, and the flames only grew fiercer in the water. Under that searing red glow, none of the sea spirit beasts—no matter their size—could withstand the roaring flames. Bibi Dong even saw that some soul bones, which had emerged after the flesh was burnt away, instantly disintegrated to ash the moment they touched the fire.
What kind of fire was this? What kind of power? She had already witnessed so many things beyond her comprehension that her mind was close to numbing. But what happened next shook her even more.
"Who dares disturb me in these waters!!!"
A thunderous roar from the seabed forced Bibi Dong to clutch her ears. Enormous pillars of water shot skyward, and crashing waves fell like a torrential downpour.
Beyond the sea of fire, a colossal soul beast emerged, its form like a whale, its entire body gleaming sapphire-blue. The immense creature stretched two hundred meters in length. On its head were two giant eyes, each spanning three meters across.
"What...what kind of soul beast is that?"
Even Bibi Dong stared in awe. She had never seen such a menacing creature—one whose oppressive presence felt even stronger than Spirit Hall's enshrined experts.
Rei Ao broke into a grin.
"Looks like I've hooked a big fish. A near-million-year... Deep Sea Demonic Whale King..."
"A million years?!"

Bibi Dong was stupefied. What an utterly astonishing figure.
