Chapter 72 A salty radish and a worrying mind!
[Not only the three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ant King, but also the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a soul beast with nearly a million years of cultivation, is in the sea. Hunting this sea soul beast to bring peace to the sea is one of the later trials the Sea God gave Tang San!]
The reason given was that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King devoured a large number of sea spirit beasts, thus becoming one. This reason was far too high-sounding; the main purpose was simply to provide Tang San with the final spirit ring for his Clear Sky Hammer. Although Tang San was already a Super Douluo at the time, he was still no match for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who possessed nearly a million years of cultivation.
In the end, it was only through the covert intervention of the Sea God and the Asura God that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was finally killed by Tang San. If the Sea God truly cared about the other weaker sea spirit beasts, why did he wait until his successor appeared before issuing the order to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?
With Poseidon's unparalleled Douluo strength and her masterful use of the Sea God's power, she should be able to contend with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. If that's not enough, temporarily granting Poseidon control of the Sea God's Trident should be enough to kill him.
[But what did the Sea God do? Before Tang San appeared, he didn't say anything. And that silly little white rabbit, when she learned that the divine test was to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, still thought the Sea God was helping her Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.]
[After all, the three known overlords of the sea at that time were the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the Demon Orca King, and her, but she was the weakest. Now, because of the Sea God's test, the first two overlords have died, so wouldn't her clan become the new overlords?]
But it's not that simple. There might not be any beings in the deep sea with cultivation levels as high as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but there are definitely others even more powerful than the Demon Orca King; they just don't show themselves.
[Soul beasts have a strong sense of territory, but the Deep Sea Demon Whale King only preys on humans and sea soul beasts that invade its territory. It is far less aggressive than the Demonic Orca Clan. How can it be considered an evil soul beast? It's simply laughable!]
[This guy diligently tried to become a god in a million years, but instead, he was secretly helped by the Sea God and the Asura God and turned into Tang San's spirit ring. It's only because the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife wasn't in this sea area at the time; otherwise, unless the Sea God himself descended to the mortal realm, the Demon Emperor and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could probably have easily resolved the situation with their underhanded methods!]
Demon Emperor?
Most people may not know much about sea spirit beasts, but Bibi Dong knows a little about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Its cultivation level does not seem to be 100,000 years, but she did not expect it to have a cultivation level of nearly one million years!
Poseidon, as the high priestess of Poseidon Island, knew this even better. The strength of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was unfathomable. She had fought against him several times, but had never been able to defeat him.
Now Dai Yichen is saying that such a powerful soul beast actually has a wife?
Moreover, judging from Dai Yichen's description, the Demon Emperor's cultivation level is probably even higher than that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
This made her feel a little panicked. After all these years, she didn't even know what the Demon Emperor looked like or where he was!
As for Dai Yichen's contempt for the Sea God in his words, she no longer cared; she was used to it.
Moreover, she was unknowingly influenced by him and also felt that the sea god was indeed biased. He said he would protect the sea spirit beasts that believed in him, but he had not issued any divine decrees for a long time.
[To improve their cultivation, most soul beasts, besides slowly cultivating on their own, initially choose to devour weaker soul beasts to strengthen themselves. This isn't just true for the three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ant King, but also includes the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. They live in the Star Dou Great Forest; they can't just not eat, can they?]
At first, Xiao Wu felt she shouldn't harm weaker spirit beasts, but later, perhaps because she was completely focused on Tang San, she didn't even flinch when Tang San nearly wiped out all the spirit beasts over 50,000 years old in Sunset Forest. Instead, she helped hunt them all down. This shows her personality is somewhat distorted.
[This might be one of the reasons why many netizens started to dislike Xiao Wu in the past. At first, they felt sorry for her because she was a member of the soul beast race, even though they knew that her companions would only take the soul rings they needed and wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. But later, they stopped showing that reluctance.]
[It's unclear whether it was a change in mindset, or perhaps she herself needed to hunt spirit beasts to absorb spirit rings, so she began to become less concerned. After all, she had already entered maturity and completely transformed into a human, strictly speaking, no longer belonging to the spirit beast race.]
The change in attitude before and after, even though Xiao Wu was incredibly beautiful at the time, would have made people feel a little disgusted. If she hadn't acted that way from the beginning, perhaps no one would have said anything.
[Ah Yin and Xiao Wu's attitudes were actually quite similar, but when Ah Yin saw that Tang San had so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts on him, her first reaction was disbelief and sadness. At least she showed her feelings, which prevented her from being disliked.]
[In my opinion, their behavior is just meddling in other people's business! Ah Yin and Xiao Wu are both 100,000-year-old soul beasts, but they're not the rulers of all soul beasts. Why are they thinking so much? If they were only worried about their own kind, that would be understandable, but worrying about other soul beasts too? Isn't that just asking for trouble? They should use that time to improve themselves!]
The major ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest didn't have this intention. Even Da Ming and Er Ming maintained a cautious attitude towards human soul masters, not wanting them to be easily killed just because they were soul masters. Doesn't this mean that the two of them weren't actually that concerned about the dead, unfamiliar soul beasts?
Whether it's Di Tian, Xiong Jun, or Chi Wang in the central region, or Bing Di and Xue Di in the far north, they all hunt down weaker soul beasts, killing them for whatever purpose! This seems very strange to me. Why don't Xiao Wu and A Yin tell them not to kill their own kind?
Three-Eyed Golden Lion:
[If spirit beasts can kill each other, then spirit masters can't hunt spirit beasts to absorb spirit rings? So, in my opinion, their attitude from the beginning was problematic. It's understandable that they couldn't bear to see some weak spirit beasts die before they could grow stronger.]

[To draw an analogy in the human world, it's like seeing a dying beggar or poor person and feeling an overwhelming surge of compassion, wanting to lend a helping hand. But for high-level soul beasts, there's no need for such overwhelming compassion. Having grown to that level, which soul beast hasn't stained its own kind with some blood?]
[What does it matter to them whether the Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake or the Human-faced Demon Spider was killed in the forest? One is from the Blue Silver Clan, and the other is from the Soft Bone Rabbit Clan. Although they are all from the same category of Soul Beasts, they have no blood relation whatsoever. So why bother caring so much?]
