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

"Is this Sea God Island?"

Qian Daoliu stood beside Tang Chen, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. This was his first visit to the island as well.

As the two Titled Douluos focused on the distant silhouette of Sea God Island, the air around the large vessel subtly distorted.

Suddenly, a violent tremor shook the ship from below, accompanied by an ear-splitting rumble. The force hurled their bodies, along with the entire vessel, high into the air.

"Not good!"

"A soul beast!"

Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu's expressions changed slightly. Yet, as Pinnacle Douluos at Rank 99, they remained composed, even amidst the chaos at sea.

Their boundless soul power surged, stabilizing them mid-air as a series of dazzling soul rings ascended around them.

Tang Chen's hand now gripped a massive hammer—

The continent's greatest tool martial soul: Clear Sky Hammer.

Behind Qian Daoliu emerged a radiant golden figure—

A divine martial soul: Six-Winged Angel.

Among them, only Zhou Yi remained utterly calm. When the ship was overturned, his body seemed as light as a feather as he soared effortlessly into the sky, exuding an immortal grace.

Standing with his hands clasped behind him, Zhou Yi hovered silently in the void, observing the scene below with interest.

Beneath them, the shattered remains of the ship were scattered across the turbulent sea. Amidst the surging waves, the culprit behind the shipwreck surfaced.

A massive white shark glided silently past them, ghost-like in the vast ocean, before vanishing into the depths again in the blink of an eye.

This white shark measured over twenty meters in length, its streamlined body covered in a faintly lustrous white sheen. Its speed was astonishing, and wherever it passed, the seawater rippled unnaturally.

"A Demon Soul Great White Shark!"

Qian Daoliu's sharp gaze locked onto the white shark that had disappeared beneath the waves. His voice was heavy:

"It's said that within Sea God Island's territorial waters resides a pod of Demon Soul Great White Sharks, led by a 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King, regarded as the island's guardian beast."

"If any vessel ventures into their domain, they'll immediately face attacks from these sharks."

"The Demon Soul Great White Shark is the fiercest among sharks, known as the predator of the seas. It is one of the most aggressive and formidable oceanic soul beasts."

"Even a thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark can rival ordinary ten-thousand-year sea soul beasts."

"Why didn't you mention this earlier?"

Tang Chen grumbled.

"The Spirit Hall's previous vessels encountered no Demon Soul Great White Sharks, so I didn't think much of it. After all, this information came from local sea soul masters and is hard to verify," Qian Daoliu replied innocently.

"That was just their luck earlier!"

Zhou Yi interjected calmly, "Demon Soul Great White Sharks have massive appetites, and the large population here requires them to go out hunting under the Shark King's lead periodically. They must have been out hunting when those ships passed by…"

Before his voice trailed off, a tremendous splash erupted. The 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King leapt from the sea. With a flick of its colossal tail, it lashed out at Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, its terrifying momentum akin to an avalanche.

Qian Daoliu transformed into a streak of light, narrowly evading the attack.

Tang Chen, less agile in mid-air, couldn't dodge—nor did he attempt to.

Instead, he swung his hammer downward.

Boom!

The hammer strike landed with the weight of Mount Tai, forcing the Demon Soul Great White Shark King back into the ocean.

However, the immense recoil also sent Tang Chen flying. In the air, with nothing to brace against, he could not stabilize himself.

"You two head to Sea God Island. I'll stay and play with it!"

Zhou Yi, who had been watching the spectacle from afar, suddenly spoke. As he stood farthest from the sea, the Shark King hadn't prioritized attacking him.

With that, Zhou Yi dove headfirst into the ocean.

"Brother Zhou!"

Tang Chen exclaimed, shocked that Zhou Yi would plunge into the sea to face the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King.

The ocean was its domain.

If Zhou Yi entered the water, he'd surely be at a disadvantage.

"Brother Zhou truly has unmatched courage and skill!"

Qian Daoliu marveled, his heart trembling in awe.

"It seems Zhou Yi's Golden Bell Shield is truly impervious to water and fire, and it must also grant him formidable abilities underwater. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare face the Shark King in its element!"

"Tang Chen, since Zhou Yi is confident, he must have a plan. Let's head to Sea God Island first!"

With that, Qian Daoliu flew toward the distant island.

"Fine!"

Tang Chen followed closely. His martial soul lacked flight capability, so he relied entirely on his immense soul power to sustain himself above the sea, which left him feeling insecure.

Reaching Sea God Island seemed far more prudent.

As the two flew toward the island, Zhou Yi had already descended into the depths of the sea.

The Thirteenth Stage Water-Fire Golden Bell Shield granted Zhou Yi control over the elements of water and fire, allowing him to traverse the ocean as if it were solid ground. The surrounding seawater did not pressure him; rather, it became an extension of his will, responding to his every command.

Suddenly, the water rippled violently behind him. The Demon Soul Great White Shark King charged forward, its massive maw gaping wide as it lunged at Zhou Yi.

"This foolish human doesn't know his limits!"

"If we were in the air, I might have some difficulty with him. But here in the ocean? He's walking straight into death's embrace!"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King's eyes gleamed with disdain. Although Tang Chen's earlier attack had made her wary of his immense strength, Zhou Yi stood as an equal alongside Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, suggesting his power was formidable as well.

Still, she thought, he dares to challenge me in my domain?

As Zhou Yi turned, the sight of the shark's cavernous maw greeted him. Instead of panicking, he calmly extended a hand, pressing down on the shark's upper jaw with a measured force.

The shark's upper jaw protruded significantly beyond its lower jaw, and with that single press, Zhou Yi prevented its jaws from closing on him.

What appeared to be a simple action was anything but.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King's massive eyes froze in disbelief. Its relatively underdeveloped brain stuttered as if short-circuiting.

Who am I? Where am I? Am I dreaming?

A single human hand was holding its head in place. And not just any human—this was a mere mortal!

But I'm the Demon Soul Great White Shark King—a ferocious ruler of the seas! A hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

Its momentum alone should have been enough to crush even a Titled Douluo foolish enough to face it head-on. And yet, Zhou Yi didn't budge. Not a single step.

"Your mouth's so big, it's a little scary," Zhou Yi remarked, studying the shark's bloodstained maw. "And honestly, pretty ugly too."

With an almost casual movement, his left hand shot out, gripping the shark's lower jaw.

Then, with both hands, he forced its gaping maw shut.

"Agh!"

"Monster!"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King, nicknamed Xiao Bai, froze in terror. Its massive body flailed, thrashing wildly, before it twisted its head and fled.

The creature, over twenty meters long, moved with astonishing speed, its streamlined body cutting through the water like a phantom of the sea. In the blink of an eye, it vanished into the ocean depths.

"Oh no, you don't." Zhou Yi chuckled, raising his right hand. "Come, water!"

The seawater churned violently beneath him, forming a majestic water dragon at his feet.

"Roar!"

With a thunderous roar, the water dragon carried Zhou Yi in pursuit of Xiao Bai, tearing through the ocean with unrelenting ferocity.

"Impossible!"

"How can a human possess such strength?"

"Good thing I'm fast!" Xiaobai muttered nervously, glancing back as it swam at full speed.

Speed was its pride—its ultimate strength.

No soul beast, no human, not even the dreaded Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, could outpace it in the ocean. It was the fastest. Without question.

But then, a teasing voice echoed in its mind.

"Where are you off to, Xiao Bai?"

The playful tone sent shivers down its spine. Trembling, the great shark turned its head to see Zhou Yi leisurely riding the water dragon alongside it, his gaze brimming with mischief, like a cat toying with a mouse.

In that moment, Xiao Bai felt its entire being quake with dread.

"No! Stay away from me!"

Panic overwhelmed it as it desperately swam toward Sea God Island, its voice ringing with fear:

"Sea God! Save me!"
