That was all he offered by way of explanation. Bibi Dong then saw him spread his arms and toss a huge black sphere into the air. She didn't know exactly what that black sphere was, but she could feel an immense power emanating from itand a strong pull exerted on her own soul. It was like a magic that stirred up one's deepest desires.
"Tsk, I forgot about you," Rei Ao muttered.
With a light smack, his hand tapped her face. Bibi Dong, whose eyes had just begun to glaze over, snapped back to consciousness, looking at him in horror. "What what is that thing?"
A moment ago, she'd felt an overwhelming urge to draw closer to it.
"It's nothing," Rei Ao answered casually. "Just a sphere infused with magic that summons out the strongest cravings and greed in living creatures. It's good for luring soul beasts."
He paused. "All right, have a seat."
Taking Bibi Dong by the hand, he pulled her down onto a soft sofa that appeared from who-knows-where. "Since we have some spare time, feel free to ask anything you want."
""
After a few seconds of silence, Bibi Dong couldn't hold back anymore. "Why did you help me? Was it really just because of that trade?"
"What else?"
Rei Ao smiled faintly. "I told you. A trade is the core principlethe ruleof the chat group's existence. Besides, I've already received part of my reward."
As he spoke, he casually produced a soul bone.
"!!"
Bibi Dong instantly recognized it as one of her own soul bones, yet hers was obviously still in her body.
"This is part of the paymenta copy of your soul bone that exists outside your own."
"So that means my martial spirit too"
Bibi Dong recalled that her martial spirit was also part of the trade. She remembered from the information in her mind that abilities or items given up in the trade wouldn't be lost from her own body.
"I've already received your martial spirit," Rei Ao went on. "All that's left is the final part of the agreement: the 'usage rights' to your body."
"Usage rights?"
Bibi Dong looked puzzled again, because the knowledge in her head had given her no details about that.
Rei Ao made it plain: "It means the act between a man and a woman."
"???"
Bibi Dong sprang to her feet, biting her lip. "You're just like"
But Rei Ao wasn't the type to let himself be insulted for no reason. "Stop right there. I'm not like that secret-chamber Douluo teacher of yours."
""
She fell silent, watching him closely, waiting for an explanation. But Rei Ao was completely straightforward:
"This is the content of our trade, and it's what I'm owed. Right?"
""
Bibi Dong had no way to refute him. In a moment of desperation, she had agreed to everything without reading the fine printyet that lifeline had saved her life. Logically speaking, she ought to uphold her end of the contract.
But
Her lips trembled slightly, and she spoke in a low voice. "Could we swap it for something else? I'll do anything else you want."
She wanted her first time to be for someone she truly loved. Unfortunately, life seldom goes as one hopes.
"That won't work," Rei Ao replied. "The chat group's rules are absoluteand enforceable. I advise you not to try resisting. A power that can send me across worlds so easily isn't something you can defy."
"But"
Bibi Dong tried to say more, but Rei Ao lifted his hand to stop her.
"Anyway, I'm not in a rush. You'll have time to prepare yourself, so let's talk about something else for now."
After all, he was set on collecting his reward.
"For instance, how about telling me what happened between you and your teacher just now? I'm curious."
Curiosity is part of human nature, and Rei Ao was no exception.

Chapter 300: Fishing! Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!
Based on Rei Ao's observations upon arriving in this world, it seems that "Secret Room Douluo" really is planning some kind of secret room operation. In other words, it might be related to that oddball Yu Xiaogang. And indeed, his guess was correct.
Noticing that Rei Ao wasn't planning on discussing the matter of the final reward yet, Bibi Dong felt powerless. But due to the absolute gap in strength, she had no choice but to lower her head for now. Even her teachera Titled Douluodidn't know how he died; how much less could she, a mere Soul Douluo, stand a chance? So she recounted the whole story, also letting out the bitterness in her heart.
"Why did my teacher?"
She couldn't understand why the teacher she had always revered would show such a revolting look in his eyes.
After hearing her out, Rei Ao was rather surprised. He had originally thought that Bibi Dong broke off with Qian Xunji because she liked Yu Xiaogang, but he hadn't expected there to be a small misunderstanding in all this. Still a "Romance Continent" that isn't all about romance? Would that even make sense?
"Your teacher, all I can say is that he lusted after your beauty and talent. He's a scumbag. However, I also think your own behavior was quite foolish."
"Foolish?"
Bibi Dong frowned. "Why do you say that?"
She wasn't angry; rather, she was genuinely curious to hear the view of this outsider who otherwise had nothing to do with the situation. Rei Ao pointed at the luxurious platinum robe she was wearing.
"Do you know what you're wearing right now?"
That was the attire of the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall.
"This represents your status. Everything you have now is thanks to Spirit Hall. You should also know the relationship between Spirit Hall and the Three Upper Sects. As the Holy Maiden, you've grown so close to the Three Upper Sects, even letting Yu Xiaogang read Spirit Hall's collected tomes. Don't you think that's rather inappropriate?"
""
Bibi Dong was stunned. She was aware that Spirit Hall's relationship with the Three Upper Sects was very strained and far from friendly. Reflecting on it, she realized that her actions really had been improper.
"But at least I wasn't wrong about one thingYu Xiaogang is very knowledgeable."
She wanted to believe there was at least something correct in what she did. Unfortunately
"Heh."
Rei Ao snorted.
"Didn't you say that around the age where others are already Soul Elders or Soul Ancestors, he's still stuck at a Grand Soul Master? If he were truly capable, would it have come to that?"
He turned to Bibi Dong and asked, "Doesn't he have a theory called 'There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters'?"
"How do you know that?!"
Bibi Dong was taken aback. Could it be that Rei Ao had also read Yu Xiaogang's theories?
"I just happened to find out." Rei Ao waved it off casually, then posed another question: "Don't you think that no matter how you look at it, if we go by his own theory, he himself is the 'useless soul master'?"
Yu Xiaogang had a mutated martial spirit. As the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's sect master, he'd taken all kinds of potent medicines. Yet he was still stuck at the Grand Soul Master realm. If that's not 'useless,' what is?
Following Rei Ao's prompt, Bibi Dong suddenly noticed the contradictions. No matter which angle you look at it from, the result is the same: If the theory is correct, then he's a useless soul master; if he's not useless, then that undermines the theory. Either way, Yu Xiaogang appears highly questionable.
Seeing Bibi Dong's thoughtful expression, Rei Ao offered a final piece of advice.
"Until now, you've been living in Spirit Hall, ignorant of worldly matters. Naturally, you don't understand how complicated people's hearts can be. If you get the chance, go out and meet different kinds of people. Otherwise, if you get tricked, you might end up giving them money, too."
With that, he stood up.
"There's work to be done."
Bibi Dong, lost in Rei Ao's words, was still reeling. In that brief moment of distraction
Rumble
Clatter, clatter!
"Roar!!!"
"Bzz!!!"
Sea spirit beasts of every shape and size boiled up from the ocean like a seething hotpot.
"!!!"
Bibi Dong leapt up in alarm. Beyond the terror of seeing a whole horde of soul beasts, many were huge creatures with such immense auras that they made her feel stifledbeasts at least eighty or ninety thousand years old, maybe even a hundred thousand.
They frenziedly vaulted from the surface, trying to devour the black orb of magic power in midair that shone with a strange, eerie light. Their deepest greed had been ignited, sending them into a mindless rage as they tore apart all "competitors" around them. In an instant, the surrounding sea turned into a river of blood.
Encircled by so many soul beastswas that not a disaster waiting to happen? Bibi Dong was shocked. Even as Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall who once hunted soul beasts under the protection of a Titled Douluo, she had never witnessed anything like this. If it were anyone else, this might spell doom.
But in Rei Ao's eyes, it was just a trifle. Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts might look terrifying, but to him they were just small fries of around Level 25. He then proceeded to show Bibi Dong what true power looked like. He merely glanced over from the sky and sighed:
"The creatures of the sea truly haven't disappointed me. Then you shall all become my experience points."
Rei Ao clenched his right fist.
Boom!
The sea, which had been churning in blood, instantly transformed into a blazing inferno. The ocean began to evaporate, and the flames only grew fiercer in the water. Under that searing red glow, none of the sea spirit beastsno matter their sizecould withstand the roaring flames. Bibi Dong even saw that some soul bones, which had emerged after the flesh was burnt away, instantly disintegrated to ash the moment they touched the fire.
What kind of fire was this? What kind of power? She had already witnessed so many things beyond her comprehension that her mind was close to numbing. But what happened next shook her even more.
"Who dares disturb me in these waters!!!"
A thunderous roar from the seabed forced Bibi Dong to clutch her ears. Enormous pillars of water shot skyward, and crashing waves fell like a torrential downpour.
Beyond the sea of fire, a colossal soul beast emerged, its form like a whale, its entire body gleaming sapphire-blue. The immense creature stretched two hundred meters in length. On its head were two giant eyes, each spanning three meters across.
"Whatwhat kind of soul beast is that?"
Even Bibi Dong stared in awe. She had never seen such a menacing creatureone whose oppressive presence felt even stronger than Spirit Hall's enshrined experts.
Rei Ao broke into a grin.
"Looks like I've hooked a big fish. A near-million-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King"
"A million years?!"
Bibi Dong was stupefied. What an utterly astonishing figure.

Chapter 301: Lan Fozi (Bonus Chapter)
A 100,000-year spirit beast is stronger than an ordinary Titled Douluo.
Even the most average 100,000-year spirit beast is roughly equal to a rank-95 Super Douluo.
Could the colossal creature in front of Rei Ao be a spirit beast close to a million years old?
Then wouldn't that mean it's at least 900,000 years old?
Bibi Dongwho had never even encountered a 100,000-year spirit beastfelt suffocated.
A spirit beast over 900,000 years old even Qian Daoliu, the Supreme Elder, might not be able to fight it, right?
However
What shocked her was that Rei Ao's face showed not the slightest hint of fear.
And indeed, he truly had nothing to fear:
[Spirit Beast]: Deep Sea Demon Whale King
[Level]: 35
Level thirty-five.
Pathetically weak as well.
In his eyes, it was no different from Qian Xunjisomething that could be crushed at will.
But through this creature, he gauged the so-called power of "gods" in this world.
At level 100, one becomes a god.
Aside from a certain insect, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is likely the only spirit beast closest to godhood.
Its strength surpasses an Ultimate Douluo but remains below that of a god.
Above that are Third-Class Gods, Second-Class Gods, First-Class Gods, and then God-Kings.
By his estimate, a God-King is probably in the level 5060 range.
However, for a God-King who can control external powerlike the core of the Divine Realmhe isn't certain yet.
Once he's completely sure of his own abilities, he wouldn't mind taking a trip to the Divine Realm.
Now,
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was fixated on the sphere of magical energy in the sky.
Its huge eyes glowed with excitement and greed.
Just looking at it made him unable to look away.
A voice in his mind told him that if he could swallow that thing, not only would he recover, but he would become even more powerful!
"Roar!!!"
No longer caring about the two "human spirit masters," the Deep Sea Demon Whale King opened his mawlike a black holeintent on swallowing the sphere of magical energy.
"Hey, do you plan to eat someone else's stuff without asking first? It seems you sea spirit beasts don't have much in the way of manners."
"?!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes went wide.
Its giant mouth stopped just short of the orb.
It wasn't that he didn't want to devour ithe simply could not.
Somehow, his colossal demonic body had been tightly gripped by an enormous claw.
That crimson claw, emanating the majesty of a dragon, extended from the void behind Rei Ao.
"You!"
Only then did the Deep Sea Demon Whale King realize that the orb of energy was not an unowned object.
It belonged to the human before him...?
No.
He couldn't believe Rei Ao was a human.
Even Di Tian couldn't possess such a pure draconic aura.
And just that aura alone made the whale tremble all over.
"You're a god?!"
Faced with such a being, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could only imagine that possibilitya god among spirit beasts?!
He didn't understand why a god would be walking the land.
"Don't use such a lame term to describe me," Rei Ao said.
Someone had dared to use that kind of "trashy" name for him.
Just thinking of how gods in this world behaved made Rei Ao feel sick.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you must have heard the saying 'greed always carries a price,' haven't you?"
With these words, the crimson dragon claw effortlessly lifted the three-hundred-meter-long whale body from the sea into the sky.
