Seemingly realizing it had been discovered, the Devil Soul Great White Shark slowly retreated and disappeared into the dark seawater.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Ma Hongjun noticed Bai Chenxiang gripping his hand tightly, her arm trembling.
"Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang, what's wrong?"
He saw Bai Chenxiang looking at the sky with a terrified expression. Looking up, he saw the huge "smiling face" of a Devil Soul Great White Shark right above his head.
His body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't dare to attack rashly, fearing to anger the creature.
The Devil Soul Great White Shark retreated again, and Bai Chenxiang felt her legs go weak.
Tang San stared solemnly at the Great White Shark, which was swimming at the very edge of the illuminated area, estimating its size to be about twenty-five meters.
Remembering some of the information that Purple Pearl had told them, he couldn't help but gasp.
This wasn't an ordinary Devil Soul Great White Shark, but the Devil Soul Great White Shark King! A hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
They remained in a stalemate for a while, and only relaxed slightly when they realized that the Devil Soul Great White Shark was just circling around and not attacking.
That's right, "Klein" once said that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was an item passed down by the Sea God. He hadn't betrayed them at that time, so what he said should be credible. And the Devil Soul Great White Shark is the Sea God's mount, so there might be some connection between the two… Tang San thought to himself.
"It probably won't attack us. Ignore it, let's keep moving forward," Tang San said.
After that, the Devil Soul Great White Shark King appeared several more times, but Tang San and the others remained unmoved.
Even when its "smiling face" was almost touching Tang San's face, he remained calm.
Seemingly realizing that it couldn't scare them, it disappeared into the deep sea and never appeared again.
Continuing forward, the terrain gradually rose. They felt a sense of joy and relief in their hearts. Seagod Island was close at hand.
Gradually approaching the surface, the surroundings became brighter. When they finally left the seawater and stepped onto land, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Even Tang San's back was soaked with cold sweat.
Although the Devil Soul Great White Shark hadn't actually attacked them, the psychological pressure it brought was immense. They were just pretending to be calm.
"That scared me to death. What's the deal with that Devil Soul Great White Shark?" Ma Hongjun slumped down on the beach.
"Maybe… it was just a prank," Tang San forced a smile.
"Oh, you guys arrived," a young man in a sailor's outfit with ordinary features suddenly appeared in front of them, greeting them as if they were old friends.
Tang San frowned, feeling a sense of vigilance in his heart. He remembered this young man; he was an ordinary sailor on the ship.
"You're still alive," Ma Hongjun greeted with a smile.
Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Dai Mubai. "Fatty, think carefully, in that situation, could an ordinary person survive?"
Recalling the scene of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King smashing the ship with a water current, Ma Hongjun's eyes also became serious.
The young man raised his right hand and plucked a monocle with a crystal texture from the void, slowly embedding it into his eye socket. He adjusted the position of the monocle to make it as comfortable as possible.
The scene of the young man putting on the monocle gradually overlapped with the figure in his memory wearing a black classical robe and a monocle on his right eye. A terrifying thought exploded in Tang San's mind.
Amon, this is Amon! The Thief Emperor, he has been following us all along, secretly watching us!
Tang San was shocked beyond words, with a hint of fear in his eyes that even he couldn't detect.
He took a deep breath and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Amon?"
"Yes, you guessed it, it's me," the young man pinched the monocle and replied very naturally.
His expression was as if they were not enemies.
"You were able to overcome many difficulties and experience the traps set by Klein without losing anyone. This surprised me a bit," Amon said with a smile.
Tang San's expression was grave, and he asked in a low voice: "Since you've been on the ship all along, why didn't you attack with Gerhman?"
Amon replied casually: "Because it wasn't necessary. Klein didn't like me interfering in his affairs either.
"If you appear alive in front of Gerhman, I wonder what kind of expression that arrogant guy will have…
"It should be very interesting… After all, he rarely makes mistakes. Then I can laugh at him properly… Hmm, that's a very interesting thing."
The young man's appearance rippled with a red glow, turning into a mass of wriggling flesh, like plasticine. Then, the flesh quickly deformed, turning into the Amon that Tang San was more familiar with, wearing a classical robe and a pointed soft hat.
Looking at this strange and somewhat terrifying scene, Tang San took a step back. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Dai Mubai asked in a cold voice: "Where is my father? What did you do to him?"
Amon glanced at him, revealing a gentle smile: "Mubai, how are you getting along with Zhuqing? When are you planning to get married?"
Dai Mubai froze. These were the words his father had once said to him. During that time, he had rarely felt paternal love from his father.
Now, watching Amon say the same words with the same expression and the same tone, he only felt a chill in his heart.
The gentle smile on Amon's face gradually became playful:
"Hmm, does it feel familiar? Actually, I said these words originally. Your ruthless father would never say such things…
"So shouldn't you thank me? After all, I let you experience the care and warmth from your father that you had never experienced since you were a child."
"Why did you do this?" Dai Mubai squeezed out a sentence from his throat.
"Why? Are you referring to replacing your father, or giving you fatherly love? Or both?"
Amon was calm and composed, answering: "Because it's interesting… There's no need to say more about replacing your father. Playing the role of emperor for a while, I think many people have this wish, and it can bring me some benefits.
"As for giving you fatherly love… it's purely because it's a very interesting thing. Look at your expression now, doesn't it make people feel happy?"
He showed a wicked smile, causing Dai Mubai's anger to rise continuously.
"Klein" once said that Amon was a person full of evil tastes… He was right. Tang San had a deep understanding of this at this moment.
"Bastard, I'll kill you!" Dai Mubai couldn't help but summon his martial soul, White Tiger Transformation. Stripes appeared on his body, his hands turned into sharp claws, and after letting out a tiger roar, he rushed towards Amon.
His fifth soul ring lit up, emitting a deep light. Under the augmentation of "White Tiger Demon God Transformation", all aspects of him were improved, and his speed increased greatly.
The sharp claws struck towards Amon's chest, and a transparent light curtain suddenly appeared between them.
With a "bang", Dai Mubai's claws struck the light curtain, unable to advance.
Amon said easily: "Don't be so irritable. This is an island where gods once lived. It's best not to use force as much as possible… We should have respect for the gods."
"Doesn't that sound ironic coming from your mouth?" Dai Mubai said in a deep voice.
"Ironic? I don't think so. I have always been very respectful to the gods," Amon said with a chuckle, pushing up the bottom edge of his monocle.
"Dai, calm down." Tang San pulled Dai Mubai back with Blue Silver Grass, staring at Amon:
"It's probably useless to kill him. If I'm not mistaken, this should just be an avatar. Although 'Klein' eventually betrayed us, many of the things he said before should be true… As a member of the Blasphemer family, he wouldn't dare come with his true body."
Amon "tsk"ed, shaking his head: "How can you be sure that everything Klein said is true? It's also possible that what he knew was fake? Of course, all of this is irrelevant. The most important thing is, do you have the ability to kill me?"
Soul power as high as level 80 surged from Amon's body.
Tang San smiled slightly: "We haven't been standing still."
Saying that, he released soul power of nearly level 80 as well, not far from Amon's, and the two auras collided in the air, causing the others to take a step back.
Amon raised his eyebrows: "You're almost a Soul Douluo, it seems that you've made rapid progress during this time… This is indeed a bit beyond my expectations."
"Hmph, you have no idea what kind of hardships I have experienced to get to where I am today," Tang San said coldly.
Thinking of Xiao Wu's sacrifice, thinking of Da Ming's sacrifice, a trace of sadness appeared in Tang San's heart, but this sadness was quickly suppressed by him.
"Stop." A voice came from a distance, stopping the two who could erupt in conflict at any time.
Along with this voice came the pressure of a Title Douluo level.
Amon shrugged, withdrew the aura from his body, and turned to look at the person who came, as if he wasn't worried about Tang San attacking him at all.
Tang San's eyes flashed, and he withdrew his soul power as well.
It's just an avatar, even if it's killed, it's useless…
The figure who stopped the two flew over hundreds of meters in a few steps and came to the front of the group.
This was a man wearing black clothes, his eyes were sharp, like sharp knives.
After scanning the group, a strange voice mixed with the sound of seawater waves sounded: "Are you mainland soul masters?"
Amon nodded, politely answering: "Yes, I have come here to accept the test of His Majesty the Sea God and become a sea soul master."
Seeing Amon acting like this, Tang San's expression was strange, and he also nodded slightly, answering: "Your Majesty, we are too."
"Seagod Island does not allow casual fighting. Do not destroy the atmosphere of unity within Seagod Island. If you have grievances, you can resolve them outside the island or go to a dedicated duel arena," the man in black said with a hint of warning.
