Unlock Kamen Riders in Douluo's Way Ch 84
🕑 Added 2025-07-31 15:34:42 +0000 UTCYin Xiaoya knew what had happened with Luo Pupu through Xiaoman, the system. He also knew that she was moving in their direction at a high speed. As for the specifics, the Green Fruit Swamp Dragon had only provided a rough explanation.
"Pupu has fully integrated the Kamen Rider power into herself. Not only that, but she's also absorbed the soul bone, and her spirit power has broken through to level 31."
"Broke through to level 31?" Su Xuan was surprised, but not at Yin Xiaoya. "Did you know this would happen?"
Yin Xiaoya shrugged. "I knew it was possible, but I didn't expect it so soon. That girl must have pushed herself."
"Who's the Titled Douluo? Dean Flender?"
"No, it seems like the ones who rescued Pupu at Shrek. Anyway, let's rest a bit before they arrive. Even for a Titled Douluo, it'll take a couple of days to get here."
With that, Yin Xiaoya raised his hand and stored the skullgarry in the system space. He looked around at the landscape, then sighed as he gazed at the towering ocean wall about 200 meters away.
"To be honest, I still can't believe it. I'm standing at the bottom of the sea. Why aren't the oceans on either side collapsing?"
Facing Yin Xiaoya's question, Su Xuan, a native of this world, shook her head.
"No one knows how the Baimu Trench was formed. I've heard Dean Flender say that this place suffered some terrible cataclysm. The power unleashed during the destruction is still here, preventing the oceans from rushing in. It's incredible. The Baimu Trench is said to have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. What kind of being could leave behind such power?"
"Power..." Yin Xiaoya asked Xiaoman, the system.
[It is true that a great power lingers here, but that power itself possesses no inherent force. It merely possesses eternal characteristics, thus the resulting phenomenon will always persist.]
"Eternal characteristics...could it be a god?"
[It's possible, but unfortunately, the force itself has vanished. Otherwise, there would have been an opportunity to collect the god's genes, and unlock some divine-like Kamen Rider items.]
Like Agito's light power and Gaim's golden fruit... Forget it, no use dwelling on it.
"Does this trench, which goes directly to the bottom of the sea, make it easier for soul masters to hunt water-attribute soul beasts?"
Su Xuan nodded. "Yes, the deeper the sea soul beast, the stronger it is. We're currently about 400 meters below the surface. Further in, they say, the waves are as high as 10,000 meters, and some have witnessed hundred-thousand-year soul beasts."
"So, how do we catch them? We can't just dive down, it's too dangerous. And soul beasts attack anything that gets close, right?"
"You're right. Hunting soul beasts in the Baimu Trench takes a lot of patience. It's all done by fishing."
As soon as she said it, Su Xuan produced a simple-looking fishing rod from her storage soul tool.
"???"
"This isn't an ordinary fishing rod. It's a soul tool that converts spirit power into a fishing line. As long as you supply enough spirit power, nothing can break it. All the soul masters who come here use these to fish out their target."
"But can you really catch the right soul beast? There are so many down there. How long will it take to hook the one you want?"
"Xiaoya, have you never been fishing?"
That's true, I have. Playing Monster Hunter and Animal Crossing.
"Oh! I get it. You mean bait, right?"
"Exactly. Each soul beast has its preferred food. If you bait according to their tastes, you increase your chances of catching them. I've prepared plenty of bait. The accompanying teachers will also help fish. It'll improve our odds."
Sure enough, it's just like Animal Crossing...
Su Xuan produced another fishing rod and handed it to Yin Xiaoya, catching him by surprise. He thought he'd be fighting, but it turned into a fishing trip. Luckily, I have that half-unlocked Phantom Dragon, and can channel some spirit power through the Wizardriver. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to use this rod.
"Speaking of which, you haven't told me what kind of soul beast you're after. Since it's for your fifth spirit ring, it must be a ten-thousand-year-level beast, right?"
Yin Xiaoya copied her movements to learn how to use the soul tool, and asked about her goal.
"The arrow feathers of my Arrow Seed Bow are tied to the first four spirit rings. They are: Tracking Arrow Feathers for hit rate, Real Arrow Clones for range, Extreme Close Arrow for melee, and Piercing Arrow of the Phoenix Head. According to Grandmaster, it's best to add elemental damage starting with the fifth spirit skill. I'm aiming for water. While its attack is weaker, its affinity will help me integrate spirit rings of other attributes later."
Grandmaster really dares to think. Different elemental skills for the same martial soul... If she pulls it off, she won't have to worry about being suppressed by attributes in the future.
"So, do you have a target soul beast?"
"Not really. There are quite a few that fit my needs, so Grandmaster made a list. Anything on that list is fine. And it must be at least 5,000 years old, which means we should find it near the ocean wall, about 4,000 meters down."
Since there were so many possible targets, it shouldn't take too long in the Baimu Trench. Maybe we can finish this before Pupu gets here.
"Then let's get it done quickly, before Pupu arrives."
Su Xuan nodded, agreeing.
Everyone's motion sickness had mostly faded. Since there weren't enough fishing rod soul tools, the kids wouldn't participate. They could roam freely.
The special terrain here, lacking a ruler like Emperor Yan, meant that as long as they stayed away from the 10,000-meter high waves, it was safe. The Martial Soul Hall, the Soul Master Guild, and other organizations had built a city belt, tens of kilometers long, parallel to the ocean walls.
The city belt occupied the center of the seafloor, about three to four kilometers from either wall. Many ordinary people came here to trade. Despite the recent surge in evil soul masters, few dared to venture here, as the city's guards would arrive immediately.
"...So, we'll head to the city to find a place to stay, then the kids can explore the city while we older ones fish for soul beasts. As for Pupu, once she and the Titled Douluo know we're in the Baimu Trench, they'll figure out we'd be in the city belt, and find us there."
After walking for a few kilometers, they reached the city. Su Xuan laid out the plan. Yin Xiaoya agreed, but some of the kids weren't happy.
"Brother Xiaoya, take me with you. I think I can find a suitable soul beast to help me unlock a Kamen Rider power." Fang Xin said.
Tang Wu echoed her, jumping in front of Yin Xiaoya. "Me too, me too! I want to unlock one!"
Xiao San looked at Yin Xiaoya. "Master, I want to find a soul beast to test my Kamen Rider strength."
Yin Xiaoya's head throbbed. Fang Xin, okay. But Tang Wu had unlocked only a toy! And Xiao San wanted to dive right in.
As for Ma Hongjun and Astra, one was still throwing up, and the other was scared of battles.
"How about this? After I help Teacher Su Xuan, I'll take you. Stay in the city, and help me keep an eye out for Pupu. She'll be here in two days, at the earliest."
Having settled the kids, Yin Xiaoya followed Su Xuan and the others to the ocean wall on the right side of the city.
He didn't know that, as they left, Tang Wu was gathering the others.
"What? You're going to sneak off to the Ocean Wall?" Hearing Tang Wu's idea, Fang Xin immediately objected. "No. Brother Xiaoya promised to take us later. We can't go secretly."
"Sorry, I'm with Tang Wu." Xiao San said, "I can't wait to test my new power. Astra, don't you want to try yours?"
Astra, whose name was suddenly mentioned, took a step back. "I... I'm not that eager..."
Ma Hongjun, slumped on the table, said with a pale face, "Any...anything is fine... don't... don't call me... Ugh!"
Seeing that only Xiao San supported her, Tang Wu pouted. "Fine. I'll go with Xiao San."
With that, she hurried off, Xiao San following.
Watching them leave, Fang Xin was worried. "Hey! Wait. It's too dangerous with only two people. I'll go with you."
She was about to follow, but Astra stopped her. "If you all leave, what about me?"
"Am I... not... human?" Ma Hongjun raised his head with difficulty.
"Someone has to stay. Brother Xiaoya said Pupu's coming later. Astra doesn't know her, so Ma Hongjun has to stay to meet her. I'm counting on you. If anything happens, use the canned locusts Brother Xiaoya left us to contact him."
After that, Fang Xin hurried after the two.
Astra looked at the half-dead Ma Hongjun and said, "I'm being left here again. Sigh. Are you feeling better?"
Ma Hongjun, lying on the table, didn't speak but waved a hand to show that he was fine.
"Doesn't look like it at all, alas..."
After catching up with Tang Wu and Xiao San, they headed for the ocean wall on the left side of the city to avoid Yin Xiaoya.
Unbeknownst to them, an iceberg, seemingly slow but moving fast, was drifting towards the Baimu Trench from not too far away.
From above the water, the iceberg was an irregular shape, nearly 400 meters long and wide, and about 200 meters high. But this was only the visible part. The submerged portion was five or six times larger.
No one knew where the iceberg had come from. But it would soon reach the Baimu Trench, and roll down to the hollow center. If it rolled just two or three times, the city belt would be devastated.
Sadly, no one had noticed the impending crisis. The sea soul beasts noticed something, but it wasn't the iceberg. It was a powerful aura emanating from it.
Sensing the approaching sea soul beasts, the life sleeping deep inside the iceberg opened its eyes, and a wave burst out.
"Leave!"
Most of the low-level soul beasts fled. But some remained.
A huge figure stopped before the iceberg, releasing an aura that matched its own.
"The sea is the territory of sea soul beasts. You should leave!"
The invisible forces collided, creating a tsunami. The Baimu Trench was far away, so no one noticed. It was just a clash between sea soul beasts.
