  1. Oh ho ho 😀 Nice!! This has gotten really really interesting.
    What a chapter! Ex-fatty awesomeness at the start, Tang San able to confront a lvl 94 title duoluo, the sharks flock, the imminent battle…oh, sorry…assassination 😉 !! Evil spirit orcas, your time has come!!!

    • Thanks for the chapter.
      There will be both assassination and battle but the second without a orca king in a good wealth (perhaps already dead). Then the other orcas will fight without a strategy.

  2. Hmmm, considering the specific nouns differentiating between shark, whale and orca, shouldn’t it be shark orca battle? I don’t read Chinese, it’s just that the whale isn’t participating in the fight…

      • Orcas aren’t whales, they’re closer to dolphins. (Porpoises) They’re name originates from their leathality. They’re capable of killing whales -> Whale Killers -> Killer Whales. But orcas aren’t actually whales.

        • Don’t really know etimology, but, since the naming process didn’t follow the biology rules for old known animals, i think the orcas where named as killer whales because they(at simple look) looked like a little whale, maybe now they will be named as great killer dolphin or something like that, but in those times the ones who nick named it where probably some medieval sailors :/

    • Don’t force it too much guys. I was wondering, in the novel i had read that between the Shrek Seven Devils, there is no more need for gratitude, apologies and too much explanation between them. They already have mutual understanding between them. They are smart enough to figure it out and they are not stupid to unnecessarily waste time and energy bothering. I think, it’s reasonable enough. Maybe it’s Chinese customs, i don’t know. This novel somehow reflects a different kind of culture and tradition from what I know.

      What if for Bagelson, it is troublesome, waste of time and unnecessary to do so? So far, as i see it, the new chapters are released when they are ready.

  5. Is this the first time he’ll be using his poison since absorbing the 3rd man faced demon spider? It’ll be interesting to see how strong it’s gotten. I wonder if anything else he’s gotten since then has also enhanced it. In theory his 7th spirit ring could since it was supposed to be whatever ability was best suited to him.

        • Quotes from Chapter 210:

          “Eight spider lances infused with Invincible Golden Body’s radiance, ruthlessly pierced around the black pit, its length just sufficient. Bright red spider lances brought Tang San body directly above the black pit’s center. Every single spider lances gave off an unprecedented red light.
          Inject poison without restraint. Absorb without restraint. “Come, bastard. Even if it means death, I will still take away a bit of your life force.”

          “The Deep Sea Demonic Whale was truly enraged. How many years had it been? At least ten thousand years had passed since anyone had dared challenge its authority like this, inflicting such an injury. The intense pain originating from the neurotoxin, along with the insane absorption of life force, roused an unexplainable sense of fear in him. He could clearly feel the deranged aura coming from his back.”

          • Clearly, I remembered it wrong. Well, in that case I don’t think Tang San will be assassinating the Orca’s leader. Although, maybe he could at least weaken it.

              • It’s obvious he’ll kill it. It’s his objective as the fourth trial.
                The orca isn’t as strong as the Demonic whale, like said Xiao Bai. Moreover Tang San gained 13 ranks since he fought against the Demonic whale.

      • His blood is infused with the fire and ice poisons, but his eight spider lances have those plus the man faced demon spider poison so I’m pretty sure that’s more potent.

        • In case you guys don’t know the fire and ice poisons neutralize each other. The author told us that when Tang San first acquired them. His blood has some amount of poison but not the original amount. Because Greeny his pet snake from Poison Douluo was poisoned when it bit him, but Tang San said later when he threw her into the “Poison Hot Springs” that if the fire and ice poisons had their full effect Greeny would have exploded on the spot.

            • In addition to that I believe you don’t understand your own reasoning; the supporting facts you gave show that the fire and ice poisons work, just their effect was killing the snake by neutralizing its innate venom.

  7. from chapter 31 “Of course, after each time using Spirit Avatar, the Spirit Master’s own attributes would weaken by fifty percent, requiring seven days to recover. Therefore, unless absolutely essential, Spirit Masters over seventieth rank would never easily use their Spirit Avatar.”

    Tang San knows this but still had fatty use his spirit avatar just to call Xiao Bai

    p.s. thanks for the chapter

    • Nah. I see that differently. Chapter 31 explained the amplifications and disadvantages of the spirit avatar of Zhao Wuji.
      “Under the use of Spirit Avatar, he could limitlessly employ apart from Spirit Avatar the seven rings or lower for thirty minutes, at one hundred fifty percent of the original might. An additional terrifying property of Vigorous Vajra Bear’s Spirit Avatar was also to increase defense by two hundred percent. This was already Zhao Wuji’s last redoubt.”
      “Of course, after each time using Spirit Avatar, the Spirit Master’s own attributes would weaken by fifty percent, requiring seven days to recover. Therefore, unless absolutely essential, Spirit Masters over seventieth rank would never easily use their Spirit Avatar.”

      What the author is reffering to maybe the disadvantage of Zhao Wuji’s Spirit Avatar since his Spirit Avatar’s effects are overly powerful if you consider it. Thy perhaps misunderstood the disadvantage for Xiao Wuji’s spirit avatar to be also a disadvantage for all Spirit Masters’ spirit avatar.

      OR Maybe the SSD do not have have that problem, there must be those advantages of getting the best possible seventh ring from the god bestowed rings and Ma Hongjun from the neidan.

I don’t want to read machine speak, though, so I’ll force myself to be patient because I’m thankful and grateful for every chapter that’s translated and posted here for everyone to read for free. They have lives, too. It’s their choice to do this in their free time. We’re lucky enough to even have it being translated.

  9. Tang is gonna use his spider lances to poison the king orca and the other orcas. It won’t be enough to kill them , but it will be enough to incapacitate the weaker ones and instill fear and panic amongst the rest of the orca pack. Meanwhile the other devils and sharks are lying in wait for the order to ambush the now panicking orca pack. Tang will then kill the king orca and absorb his spirit ring and spirit bone.
