Chapter 326: [DD2]: 326
Yan Shaozhe cupped his hands in respect and said seriously, "Young Master Su Yu, your guess is correct. We indeed intend to hunt down a powerful sea soul beast as a ninth spirit ring for Lexuan."
"But Young Master Su Yu, as you know, sea soul beasts generally live in the ocean. To hunt such a beast, we must venture out to sea."
"The ocean is different from the land. The vast, boundless sea hides countless dangers."
"Moreover, finding a suitable beast for Lexuan might require us to venture deep into the ocean."
"Sea soul beasts, in terms of overall power, far surpass land soul beasts. A single misstep could lead us into great peril."
"Furthermore, on the ocean—where it's their home ground—the strength of even an ordinary soul beast is an unknown factor."
"Thus, to ensure safety, we wish to request Young Master Su Yu's assistance."
Yan Shaozhe expressed his concerns honestly, and Su Yu listened attentively, finding the reasoning quite sound.
Indeed, the ocean harbored many powerful soul beasts, even super beasts with cultivation surpassing 600,000 or 700,000 years. Such creatures were not uncommon.
Although the strongest soul beast on the Douluo Continent was undoubtedly the Beast God Di Tian, that supremacy was largely due to Di Tian possessing the Dragon God's Claw.
In terms of raw cultivation, there might well be beings in the ocean stronger than Di Tian.
Who knows what monstrous creatures lurk in the deep sea? It wouldn't be surprising if some 700,000–800,000-year-old beasts emerged. Such scenarios weren't impossible.
