Chapter 554: The crowd is shocked, I don't mind even if you 7 attack me together._1

Sea Dragon Douluo was taken aback.

"Misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding have I made?"

Luo Yu said nothing, next to him Bai Xiuxiu pursed her cherry lips, trying to hold back laughter, and said:

"You wouldn't think that Brother Yu was defeated by the killer whale king and fled back here, would you?"

"Isn't it so?" Sea Dragon Douluo looked doubtful.

"Why don't you guess? If you guess right, I'll tell you," Bai Xiuxiu teased.

"Hiss—"

Sea Dragon Douluo shook his head and looked at Luo Yu with scrutinizing eyes.

He noticed that Luo Yu's clothes were unwrinkled, there was no bloodstain on his body, and his breath was very steady, not at all like someone who had just been in a big battle.

"Oh, now I understand."

Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes lit up, an expression of sudden realization on his face.

"Did you perhaps go there, tested the killer whale king with a few simple moves, sized up the opponent's strength, and then decided to withdraw first?"

"Pfft, looking down on my Brother Yu, aren't you?"

Bai Xiuxiu pouted.

"What the hell is the riddle you're playing at?" Sea Dragon Douluo was getting anxious.

"Hmph!"

Bai Xiuxiu held her fair chin high.

"That killer whale king has already been slain by my Brother Yu, and from now on, it will no longer be able to stir up trouble."

Upon hearing this, Sea Dragon Douluo's body trembled violently.

"What… What?"

"What did you say?"

The surrounding Pillar Guardians and Poseissi were also incredibly astonished, all of their gazes focused on them.

"I said, Brother Yu has already killed that bad guy," Bai Xiuxiu repeated, word by word.

"Impossible."

Sea Dragon Douluo shook his head.

"Absolutely impossible."

"That's a joke, isn't it?"

Sea Dragon Douluo laughed, "He's only been gone for so long, and in such a short time, you say he killed the killer whale king?"

"Are the evil killer whales that weak? If they were really that feeble, how could they have dominated the seas for so many years with no one stopping them?"

Bai Xiuxiu sniffed lightly.

"It's not that they are weak, it's clearly that my Brother Yu is too strong, okay?"

Bai Xiuxiu, who already had a good impression of Luo Yu, had turned into a little fan girl after seeing him sever the tail of the killer whale king with one slash.

Admiration flashed continuously in her beautiful eyes.

Sea Dragon Douluo found it extremely unreal to listen to.

He thought it was absurd.

"Strength needs to have a limit, right?"

"If he could kill the killer whale king in such a short time, wouldn't that mean this young man's strength far surpasses mine?"

"Ha ha ha, don't believe in rumors and don't spread them; this can't be true."

The other Pillar Guardians, including Sea Horse Douluo, clearly had skeptical looks in their eyes and didn't believe that Luo Yu could have single-handedly turned the tide against the entire school of evil demon orcas in such a short time.

At this moment, Poseissi keenly sensed that the surrounding Devil Soul Great White Sharks, when looking at Luo Yu, seemed to emanate an indescribable respect and fear.

What kind of scene had they witnessed to elicit such emotions towards Luo Yu?

Poseissi's beautiful eyes trembled.

No way, could what Bai Xiuxiu described really be true?

Did this guy actually kill the killer whale king at lightning speed?

She was a little hesitant to continue thinking about it.

Purple Pearl walked to Luo Yu's side at that moment, tugging at the hem of his clothes.

"Brother Yu, you didn't really slaughter that killer whale king, did you?"

Luo Yu blinked his eyes and his mouth curved upward, imitating Bai Xiuxiu.

"What do you think?"

"Annoying, who wants to guess? Can't you just tell me directly?" Purple Pearl started being coy.

In her heart, whether Luo Yu had slain the killer whale king or not wasn't important; what mattered was that Luo Yu had returned safely.

This made her feel as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.

Luo Yu looked at Purple Pearl's longing little eyes and nodded with a smile.

"Didn't I say when I left that to kill it, I alone am more than enough?"

"Now naturally it's time to retreat with my mission accomplished."

"Really killed it?" Purple Pearl exclaimed in surprise.

At the same time, Poseissi and the Seven Pillar Guardians' pupils shrank, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"No way?"

"This... How is this possible?" Sea Dragon Douluo was full of astonishment.

Luo Yu didn't waste any words, and took out a dark red soul core from his Storage Space.

He displayed it in front of everyone.

Poseissi took a quick step and appeared close by.

After scanning up close with her mental strength and sensing the terrifying energy contained within the dark red sphere, she was filled with shock and amazement.

"This couldn't be the soul core of the killer whale king, could it?"

"Indeed it is," Luo Yu nodded.

In an instant, Poseissi's mouth hung slightly open, all her shock written on her face. This man actually wasn't just boasting—he did what he said he would?

Sea Dragon Douluo wore an embarrassed expression, subconsciously touched his face, and almost had to pull his hand away because it felt so scalding.

So embarrassing, too embarrassing.

He still remembered the words he had said in front of Luo Yu just a moment ago.

Advising the other not to be discouraged if he failed.

So the joke was on him again?

"Is this really the soul core of the killer whale king?" Sea Dragon Douluo forced a smile, his question a last stand of stubbornness.

"Whoosh!"

The Sea God's Trident on Luo Yu's forehead suddenly lit up at this moment.

It emitted a golden light screen.

"Examiner has successfully passed the Sea God's fourth trial: Apex Shark Whale Battle, assisting the Devil Soul Great White Sharks in slaughtering the killer whale king from the Evil Demon Orca School."

"Awarded ten percent Sea God Affinity."

"Total Sea God's Affinity reached forty percent."

Sea God Douluo saw the golden light screen with text shimmering past, his expression astounded, embarrassment reaching an extreme.

At this moment, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Even the Sea God was validating Luo Yu, what reason did he have left to question anything? His face was burning with agitation.

Poseissi and the others had complex looks in their eyes as they watched Luo Yu.

This guy actually did it—but what kind of strength does he have?

Just a young man, and yet so frighteningly powerful.

The text on the golden light screen changed, drawing their attention.

"Sea God's fifth trial."

"Challenge the Seven Pillar Guardians, starting with the first Pillar Guardian's challenge. Within thirty-six hours, complete all challenges."

"Defeating the Seven Pillar Guardians is the only way to pass, reward: fifteen percent Sea God Affinity!"

Luo Yu, seeing the upcoming examination, curled his lips and cast his gaze over the Seven Pillar Guardians.

Sea Horse Douluo smiled, but it was uglier than crying.

His heart was somewhat anxious.

If such a challenge from a young person had appeared before, he would have felt no pressure at all, even disdaining such easy prey.

But now, he had just found out that Luo Yu had killed the killer whale king.

Suddenly, he had no more confidence.

Luo Yu now looked relaxed, while the seven Pillar Guardians shifted their steps and gathered together to discuss their strategy.

"Brothers, what do we do now? That kid obviously has some tricks up his sleeve," Sea Horse Douluo took the lead.

Sea Star Douluo shrugged.

"What else can we do? Attrition through consecutive battles, of course. Can't the seven of us wear down one of him?"

"Isn't that a bit too shameful?" Sea Horse Douluo muttered.

"Shameful?" Sea Star Douluo glared. "That's called tactics, do you understand tactics?"

Sea Illusion Douluo and the others exchanged glances and nodded to each other, agreeing to the strategy of attrition through consecutive battles.

Luo Yu's unhurried voice carried over at that moment.

"No need for such trouble."

"To save time, I don't mind if all seven of you come at me together."
