Tiger's Lackey Talent, Second ServantIn the sky, Dai Yao's gaze was as cold as ice as he silently looked down at the pirates below. The threat posed by Purple Pearl seemed like nothing more than a gentle breeze.
"You brat, you're really putting on airs!"
On the ground, staring at Dai Yao who remained unresponsive in the sky, Purple Pearl gritted her teeth and spoke viciously. Dai Yao's lack of reaction meant he didn't consider her an opponent at all, especially considering his tone, as if becoming his maid was a favor to her!
Her soul power surged, and Purple Pearl's clothes fluttered without wind. Intense soul power fluctuations were released, and rings of energy spread outwards. Soul rings slowly floated around her.
Yellow, purple, black.
The phantom of a sea viper appeared behind Purple Pearl, its cold gaze flicking its tongue as it stared intently at Dai Yao in the sky.
Purple Pearl, a level 68 offensive-type Battle Soul Emperor, is unmatched in the entire pirate crew. It's no wonder that she, a woman, can control such a large pirate crew.
Upon seeing Purple Pearl unleash her martial spirit, the pirates of the crew cheered excitedly. Purple Pearl's reputation was renowned throughout the entire pirate crew, and it was quite rare for her captain to personally take action.
Looking at the purple pearl that wanted to rebel against him from the sky, Dai Yao smiled slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his dark eyes.
"Taming a wild horse is a man's innate instinct!"
With a single wave of his hand, a fierce gust of wind shot out from his sleeve, pushing the clouds in the sky and creating a huge gap in them! Soul power surged, his wings spread out angrily, his black hair danced, and rings of invisible air waves shot out from Dai Yao's body, mixed with sonic booms, spreading outwards continuously.
The only spirit ring slowly rose from beneath Dai Yao's feet.
The intense blackness almost encompassed the entire sky, instantly transforming the twilight light into the darkness of night.
"What the hell? A spirit ring? A mere spirit master dares to come and cause trouble on my Purple Pearl Island?"
One of them shouted indignantly.
"Are you blind?! This... how is this possible? His first spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring? How did he do that?"
Some knowledgeable people, however, were greatly alarmed.
The first spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, which completely overturns the theoretical foundation of the spirit master world. Generally speaking, the age of the first spirit ring must be less than a hundred years; otherwise, the human body will not be able to withstand it.
However, this person is far beyond people's comprehension. Moreover, this ten-thousand-year soul ring is not an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul ring. This terrifying soul ring fluctuation even exceeds that of many fifty-thousand-year soul rings.
"Just who is this kid?"
Purple Pearl stared blankly at Dai Yao in the sky; this extraordinary soul ring truly shocked her.
"However, you think you can defeat me with just one spirit ring? You're dreaming!"
Her gaze turned slightly cold, Purple Pearl bent her body slightly, and her sixth soul ring shone faintly as she tried to charge into the sky!
Just then, Dai Yao's eyes flashed like lightning, and he gently raised his outstretched hand before suddenly pressing it down!
Kneel down!
In that instant, a powerful wind pressure, carrying a terrifying mental pressure, slammed into the ground. Countless people groaned and fell to their knees, while many more cried out in pain, lying helplessly on the ground.
Some powerful Soul Masters barely managed to maintain their figures, only to be horrified to find that the flow of their Soul Power was as if they were sinking into a quagmire. They struggled to raise their heads and looked in horror at the demon-like figure in the sky.
They seemed to see a black tiger, like a god, with its wings outstretched and roaring wildly.
That terrifying pressure instilled fear in them from the depths of their souls. Their hearts pounded violently, and they lowered their heads in terror. It was a terrifying martial spirit that they could not look directly at!
Purple Pearl braced herself against the ground with one hand, feeling the pressure coming from her back. Her pupils contracted sharply, and her eyes showed horror. Even with her level 68 soul power, she felt extremely terrifying pressure in front of this person's martial soul, making her involuntarily have the urge to run away.
But how could she, as the captain of a pirate crew, possibly escape?
"Damn it, who exactly is this brat?"
She slightly raised her head, looked up at the sky, and prepared to complete the charging of her sixth soul skill again, only to find that the figure in the sky had disappeared, and a burly figure as tall as a mountain was standing in front of her.
She raised her head, staring blankly at the figure before her, so unapproachable. His cold gaze was like that of a god standing on a cloud, looking down upon her.
Dai Yao looked down at the purple pearl and said calmly:
"Now, do you still want to refuse?"
Upon hearing this, Purple Pearl gritted her teeth, cold sweat poured from her forehead, her eyes flickered several times, and finally made up her mind. She suddenly released her sixth soul skill, which she had just finished charging up!
Sixth Soul Skill - Ghost Serpent Prison!
Countless icy snakes, like a net stretching across the sky, attacked Dai Yao from all directions, the condensed moisture freezing the surrounding ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Purple Pearl retreated swiftly, shouting:
"All members of the Purple Pearl Pirates, attack! Kill this brat!"
The pirates were stunned for a moment. Some rushed towards Dai Yao, while others hesitated, unsure whether to obey their captain's orders.
Seeing the attack rushing towards him, Dai Yao's lips curled into a wicked smile:
"What a fiery little firecracker..."
Dai Yao walked step by step in the direction where Zi Zhenzhu had fled. To everyone's horror, countless icy snakes crashed into Dai Yao's body at high speed, shattering as if they had hit an iron plate, turning into water droplets that flew out.
Various soul skills struck Dai Yao's body like ants trying to shake a tree or a gentle breeze, causing him no harm whatsoever.
"Monster! Monster!"
Seeing that his attack had no effect on Dai Yao, one of the pirates stared in disbelief and cried out in horror. He then fled in terror.
The pirates were terrified, and most of them fled. Only a small number persisted in resisting, trying to buy time for Purple Pearl to escape.
"Truly loyal, but unfortunately, this loyalty will only get you killed."
Dai Yao said regretfully.
Just then, a voice inside my head said, "Let them go. They haven't offended you. They were willing to sacrifice their lives for Purple Pearl. They must be Purple Pearl's confidants. If you kill them, even if Purple Pearl is forced to become your maid, she might not necessarily send me to Seagod Island."
"If you want to take Purple Pearl as your maid, then don't hurt them."
The voice was naturally Dai Yao's normal voice. He only wanted to reach Seagod Island safely and resolve the issue of the Purple Pearl Pirates robbing the sect's merchant ships, rather than escalating the conflict. He couldn't say for sure whether the Purple Pearl Pirates would choose to perish together with Haider, who had his son killed by Tang San and then sailed the ship to the Demon Whale Sea.
"Tch, boring. Since you've put it that way, how can I not listen?"
A sinister smile appeared on Dai Yao's face, which was full of evil intent.
With a flash, he appeared in front of Purple Pearl, who was panicking and running away.
Looking at Dai Yao who had suddenly appeared before her, Purple Pearl's pupils shrank, and she murmured, "How is this possible?"
Dai Yao reached out and gently pressed down, the terrifying pressure suddenly bearing down on Zi Zhenzhu, forcing her to her knees, unable to move. Slowly walking to Zi Zhenzhu's side, Dai Yao coldly looked down at her and said indifferently:
"Purple Pearl, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. I don't have enough patience to play house with you, so..."
Dai Yao removed Zi Zhenzhu's pirate hat, threw it on the ground, placed his hand on her head, and activated his innate Tiger's Fury!
An endless stream of gray-black energy surged from Dai Yao's palm, like ropes that tightly bound the purple pearl.
Purple Pearl was unable to move, but she could clearly feel something entering her body. A cold and evil aura instantly engulfed her, and her resistance crumbled rapidly under the attack of this evil aura.
The look in his eyes, which had been filled with utter hatred, slowly became hazy, shifting between disgust, coldness, confusion, and dependence.
Some pirates loyal to Purple Pearl rushed to her rescue upon seeing her captured by Dai Yao. With a single wave of his hand, Dai Yao exerted immense pressure, like nails, pinning everyone firmly to the ground.
"Take one more step, and you'll die."
Dai Yao said calmly.
These words, like the whisper of death, silenced everyone. Seeing that Dai Yao hadn't done anything to Zi Zhenzhu, they hesitated for a moment before choosing to observe.
Finally, the gray currents dissipated into the air, and Purple Pearl, no longer bound, slowly stood up. Looking at the enemy before her, although she still felt a faint hostility and resentment, she was overwhelmed by the sense of dependence on this person from her soul, and two words slipped out.
"Owner?"
Only after uttering those two words did Purple Pearl awaken with a start, staring in horror at the man before her. She couldn't believe that she had been controlled and had actually uttered such words.
However, when she looked at the man before her again, she was surprised to find that she felt no hostility towards him whatsoever. Moreover, a ring of black markings, like a collar, had appeared around her snow-white neck. This strange phenomenon filled her with both anger and fear, causing her to retreat repeatedly, uttering in terror:
What did you do to me?
Dai Yao glanced at Zi Zhenzhu, then flashed to appear before her, gently lifting her snow-white chin to examine her face. A strange thought lingered in her mind, preventing Zi Zhenzhu from looking away. After a long while, Dai Yao's lips curled slightly, and he said:
"Very well, from now on you will be my maid."
"I'm not your maid! You brat..."
Purple Pearl was furious. However, when she wanted to unleash a torrent of profanity, she found herself resisting these words, as if uttering them before her nominal 'master' was a desecration.
Dai Yao gripped Zi Zhenzhu's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. His icy black eyes pierced her heart like sharp swords. Dai Yao said coldly:
"If you dare to utter another swear word in front of me, don't blame me for giving you a lesson you'll never forget."
Purple Pearl was taken aback. She wanted to retort, but under that cold gaze, she was afraid. Coupled with the inexplicable respect she felt for this man, she weakly nodded.
Dai Yao snorted coldly. In the original story, Purple Pearl's personality was quite wicked, and training such a wild horse would indeed be an interesting affair. However, he needed to get to Seagod Island as soon as possible and didn't have time to do so. Therefore, he used his Tiger's Lackey talent.
Tiger's Innate Ability is to Contract Four Servants. Now, after Contracting Silver Maiden and Purple Pearl, there are still two slots available.
After the Tiger's Path is unleashed, with the passage of time, Purple Pearl will completely regard him as her master. At that time, she will wholeheartedly consider his needs and will fulfill any request he makes. Therefore, he no longer bothers with Purple Pearl; her fate is already sealed.
"Tell me your purpose, and I'll go back."
With a thought, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul dispelled its possession state. The black color gradually faded, golden hair began to flutter, and eyes returned to a brilliant gold. Purple Pearl clearly sensed that the man's aura had changed. If he had been sinister just moments before, he was now radiant and holy.
After regaining his body, Dai Yao was somewhat surprised that his wicked self had let Zi Zhenzhu go so easily. Under Zi Zhenzhu's astonished gaze, Dai Yao slowly said:
"As you saw, I am not the same person as that guy. Your relationship with that person is none of my business. I am here to ask you for a favor. I need to go to Seagod Island and I need you to show me the way."
Purple Pearl was startled. On one hand, the person in front of her was completely identical to the one before, except for their temperament, hair color, and eye color. They could be considered the same person. However, the words sounded like they were not the same person.
On the other hand, the place this person wanted to go to truly shocked her.
"You're going to Poseidon Island? Do you know what Poseidon Island means?"
Purple Pearl exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course, after passing the test, you will stay on the island to worship the sea god and will never be able to leave again. I know the price to go to the Sea God Island, just take me there."
Dai Yao said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Purple Pearl's eyes darted around. She slowly walked to Dai Yao's side, wrapped her arms around his, rested her breasts against his arm, and revealed a seductive smile, saying:
"Since you wish to go, I will make arrangements immediately. But when will you depart, Master?"
The host's words were so alluring and seductive that they stirred a burning desire within him. Dai Yao glanced sideways at Purple Pearl. In the original story, Purple Pearl had used her beauty to embarrass Tang San, and now she was using it on him. However, this kind of temptation had absolutely no effect on Dai Yao.
Dai Yao calmly said, "You don't need to waste your time. These methods are nothing special. You don't need to flatter me either. I can't make decisions for you. Save your time for flattering him next time that guy shows up."
With a gentle tremor, the purple pearl was deflected, and the Sacred White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him. His snow-white wings unfurled, and Dai Yao turned back, saying:
"If you don't want to be a pirate anymore, I can give you a way out. Carefully vet the members of your pirate crew, eliminate the evil ones, and I can support you with money. Of course, it's fine if you don't agree. However, from now on, you must not plunder the merchant ships of the Azure Lotus Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"If you do it again, it won't be me next time. You're really audacious. Both of these major sects have combat power at the Title Douluo level. Do you want to die?"
"Three days later, you will lead your men to Hanhai City, where I will board a ship and head to Seagod Island."
After speaking, Dai Yao soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the sky. (End of Chapter)
