Douluo: Marrying a Wife to Become a God, Having Children for Blessings

"Set out!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yi's command, Xiao Bai responded unusually enthusiastically this time. The massive shark's body quivered with excitement, carving a perfect arc through the water before leaping to the surface and shooting forward like an arrow.

"This feels amazing!"

Riding on Xiao Bai, a top-tier war vessel among the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, Zhou Yi felt an overwhelming surge of heroism. He resembled a general eager for battle, yearning to plunge into enemy ranks and dominate the battlefield.

The territory of the Demon Tiger Orcas lay about 500 kilometers away.

Every few decades or centuries, the Demon Soul Great White Sharks and the Demon Tiger Orcas would wage a holy war.

Unfortunately, the Demon Soul Great White Sharks always lost.

Were it not for the Evil Demon Killer Whales' fear of Sea God Island and the wrath of the Sea God, the Demon Soul Great White Sharks might have been wiped out long ago.

Adult Evil Demon Killer Whales reached lengths of 20 to 25 meters. Their robust physiques, razor-sharp teeth, and arsenal of formidable abilities made them terrifying opponents.

One Evil Demon Killer Whale could hold its own against two adult Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

Even Xiao Bai, as the king of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks and a 100,000-year-old sea soul beast, barely exceeded 20 meters in length.

Other adult sharks in the group didn't surpass 20 meters either, leaving them at a disadvantage in terms of size.

Fortunately, the Evil Demon Killer Whales had lower reproductive rates compared to the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, with their population numbering about 300, of which around 200 were adults—roughly on par with the sharks.

In terms of strength, however, the difference was clear.

Suddenly, Zhou Yi noticed turbulence in the waters behind him. Numerous sleek white figures surfaced, forming a neat formation of about 200 Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

Each shark was over 15 meters long and radiated immense energy fluctuations.

In the shimmering ocean, they resembled a well-trained army.

This was the entirety of the adult Demon Soul Great White Shark population.

Clearly, Xiao Bai wasn't planning to miss the opportunity to beat their old foes while they were down and had alerted her kin.

Zhou Yi didn't mind.

The sight of 200 sharks lining up in formation and following closely behind filled him with a sense of exhilaration.

Though he didn't need their help, their presence made him feel like a true general—of the navy, no less.

As one of the dominant forces in the ocean, the Demon Soul Great White Sharks surged through the waves at a speed unmatched by any vessel.

The roaring wind lashed against Zhou Yi's face like a blade, while the azure seawater formed radiant streaks as it rushed past.

This sensation…

It was thrilling!

Riding atop Xiao Bai, Zhou Yi suddenly reconsidered his earlier plan to exterminate the Evil Demon Killer Whales entirely.

Powerful soul beasts were rare treasures.

Killing them outright would only provide fleeting satisfaction, leaving nothing for the future.

"It seems wasteful to annihilate the Evil Demon Killer Whales. It'd be better to tame them for mounts or leave them for my descendants to harvest as soul rings."

He dismissed the notion of wiping them out, deciding instead to treat them as livestock. Letting the ocean itself serve as their pen was far more practical than extermination.

After all, one must not drain the pond to catch the fish.

"However, that 100,000-year-old Evil Demon Killer Whale King is ripe for harvest. Time to subdue it!"

From the start, Zhou Yi had never intended to kill the Evil Demon Killer Whale King.

He couldn't absorb soul rings yet, and killing it would waste a valuable 100,000-year ring.

With his women already surpassing ten in number and more children undoubtedly on the way, Zhou Yi had learned the importance of conserving resources.

"Nearly there. Ten more miles, and they'll spot us!" Xiao Bai called out.

"Charge straight in!"

Riding atop Xiao Bai, Zhou Yi brandished his Frost-Defying Sword like a general galloping into battle.

"Attack!"

Xiao Bai, equally fired up, surged forward with renewed speed. The once-intimidated shark now carried herself with newfound boldness, emboldened by Zhou Yi's strength.

As they advanced, the Evil Demon Killer Whales detected their approach.

Recognizing their old adversary—and a defeated one at that—the Whale King wasted no time rallying its kin for a counterattack.

Zhou Yi finally got a good look at the Evil Demon Killer Whales.

Compared to the streamlined elegance of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, the Killer Whales were nearly twice as large and exuded raw power. Their hulking forms, ash-black in color, were crowned with disproportionately massive heads. Their enormous, blade-like teeth gleamed menacingly, and their dark red eyes burned with ferocity.

"Wow! They look incredible. It'd be such a waste not to turn them into mounts!"

The sight reminded Zhou Yi of a general stumbling upon a herd of prized warhorses.

He imagined future generations of his children riding Evil Demon Killer Whales through the ocean—a thought that filled him with delight.

"Xiao Bai, I plan to subdue them. You and your kin can vent your frustrations, but don't kill them!"

"Understood!" Xiao Bai relayed his orders to her kin.

Excitement flared among the sharks. Beating down their foes without annihilating them was still a satisfying prospect, and they weren't about to defy Zhou Yi's wishes.

The Evil Demon Killer Whale King, at the center of its group, was a majestic beast over 30 meters long. Its ash-black skin shimmered faintly with a metallic sheen, radiating unparalleled majesty.

Before long, over 200 adult Evil Demon Killer Whales charged toward Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi raised his Frost-Defying Sword, unleashing a flurry of sword energy.

Wherever the blade's aura passed, killer whales were stunned, their bellies upturned as they floated to the surface.

The Demon Soul Great White Sharks, momentarily stunned by Zhou Yi's prowess, surged forward to pummel the incapacitated killer whales.

Under Xiao Bai's orders and Zhou Yi's overwhelming presence, the sharks refrained from taking their enemies' lives.

Meanwhile, the Evil Demon Killer Whale King, witnessing Zhou Yi's might, froze in terror.

Never in its tens of thousands of years had it encountered such a fearsome opponent. Could this man rival even the Sea God?

Zhou Yi cast his Heavenly Palace Mirage, enveloping the Evil Demon Killer Whale King in a realm of pure mental domination.

Within the illusion, Zhou Yi appeared as a divine being:

Majestic.

Sacred.

Unassailable.

Irresistible.

In mere moments, the Evil Demon Killer Whale King lowered its massive head in submission.

Zhou Yi stepped onto the Evil Demon Killer Whale King's head, gazing imperiously at the battered killer whales behind it.

After a single incense stick's worth of time, the battle was over.

Aside from the Evil Demon Killer Whale King, which remained unharmed beneath Zhou Yi's feet, every other Evil Demon Killer Whales floated injured but alive behind their leader.

The Demon Soul Great White Sharks, riding high on newfound confidence, rallied around Zhou Yi, their reverence for him akin to worship.

In the eyes of both the sharks and killer whales, Zhou Yi had become an invincible deity of the sea.

"Let your kin recuperate and remember—don't provoke the Demon Soul Great White Sharks again!" Zhou Yi commanded the Orca King.

The Evil Demon Killer Whale King hurriedly conveyed the order, and its kin nodded fervently.

Zhou Yi smirked inwardly. They're not afraid of the sharks—they're afraid of me.

"Retreat!" Zhou Yi called out, riding atop the Evil Demon Killer Whale King.

The sharks followed swiftly, Xiao Bai's sleek form darting past the Evil Demon Killer Whale King with provocative speed, as if to say, "Size isn't everything!"

Zhou Yi chuckled. "Very well, Xiao Bai. Next time, I'll ride you—both in human form and otherwise!"
