Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, Your Holiness, Please Behave Yourself

Chapter 313 The Legendary Sponge: Just call me SpongeBob, grandpa.

Chapter 313 The Legendary Sponge: Just call me SpongeBob, grandpa.

Ultimately, after careful consideration, the legendary sponge and the strange snail had to take Huo Yuhao's question seriously.

They really had no other choice! In fact, Legend Sponge and the Weird Snail had never seen such an exaggerated cannon before. The pressure it emitted was so intense that Legend Sponge almost couldn't hold on and nearly knelt on the ground, involuntarily calling out "Dad."

After a heated discussion and friendly negotiations, they finally decided to accept Huo Yuhao's proposal and become Bibi Dong's soul spirit.

Legend has it that the sponge contributed its power, providing Bibi Dong with her third and fourth spirit rings. And the strange snail also provided Bibi Dong with her fifth and sixth spirit rings.

Suddenly, four more soul rings from ferocious beasts appeared, and Bibi Dong's aura rose rapidly. The terrifying celestial phenomenon affected almost the entire surrounding sea area within a hundred miles.

Fortunately, this area is entirely the territory of the legendary sponge; otherwise, it would probably have attracted other soul beasts.

Huo Yuhao estimated that Bibi Dong now possessed the strength of three peerless masters, and even Qian Daoliu would not be able to defeat her without divine power.

Bibi Dong naturally sensed the change in her strength, and her eyes were full of love and admiration when she looked at Huo Yuhao.

On the deck, SpongeBob stood dejectedly next to Bibi Dong and Huo Yuhao, while Little Snail looked equally downcast beside him.

Their originally enormous bodies began to shrink gradually, becoming small and cute, as if they had turned into two cartoon characters.

"Hey, Legendary Snail, cheer up! Why are you still so down?" Huo Yuhao gently stroked Bibi Dong's smooth long hair as he encouraged Legendary Sponge.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, SpongeBob's lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent. After a while, he spoke again: "Sir, you, you can just call me SpongeBob."

The eerie snail beside it said in a tearful voice, "Yes, sir, you can just call me Little Snail, waaaah."

Huo Yuhao's face was full of speechlessness, then he gently kissed Bibi Dong's lips. He continued to press, "We still need to find two more soul beasts. Who do you two think we should target next?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's question, the legendary Sponge pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "In my opinion, the next target should be the crab boss!"

When Huo Yuhao heard the words "crab boss," he was clearly stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that the crab boss SpongeBob was referring to was actually the giant crab in the deep sea—the Deep Sea Crab Boss.

There's a little-known story behind why the deep-sea crab boss is given such a name.

Legend has it that this giant deep-sea crab has a particular fondness for glittering, golden treasures. After attacking a fleet, it would not only cruelly kill the crew but also loot all the treasures for its own use.

Moreover, the deep-sea crab boss will personally go into the sea to search for pearls and various treasures, piling them up around his nest.

It is said that the deep-sea crab boss has been collecting treasures for hundreds of thousands of years. If these rumors are true, then the crab boss's treasure trove is undoubtedly one of the richest treasure troves in the world.

Thinking of this, even Huo Yuhao felt his breathing become heavy. To him, these treasures were not merely symbols of wealth; they carried a deeper meaning.

If he could control vast amounts of resources, he would be fully capable of waging an economic war, further weakening the two great empires without firing a single shot. Furthermore, with these resources, the Spirit Empire's strength would be greatly enhanced, significantly benefiting its future conquest of the entire Douluo Planet and its unification of the empire.

Indeed, Huo Yuhao's ambitions extend far beyond the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire. His goal is the entire Douluo Planet; he intends to sweep across the planet and become its true overlord. As for the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, in his eyes, they are merely appetizers, practically an end in themselves.

To sweep across the Sun Moon Continent, the most important thing is to have a powerful navy! With the current financial resources of the Spirit Hall, it has only allocated funds to build one warship, but if it had Boss Crab's wealth, the Spirit Hall could build multiple ships.

Imagine that one day in the future, the Spirit Hall will land directly on the Sun Moon Continent with ten warships with a draft of nearly 10,000 tons and hundreds of smaller vessels.

The sheer force of their presence is enough to render the other party incapable of resisting.

"Your Holiness the Pope, Your Majesty the Holy Son, our ship has approached the territory of the Deep-Sea Crab Boss!"

The crew member excitedly reported to Huo Yuhao, his voice filled with tension and anticipation.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts were interrupted by this sudden news. He frowned, and his gaze became serious.

After all, according to SpongeBob and Gary's description, the Deep Sea Crab Boss is a spirit beast with nearly 600,000 years of cultivation, and its strength is awe-inspiring. Moreover, it has also adopted a deep-sea sperm whale that is nearly 500,000 years old.

Huo Yuhao knew that such soul beasts, especially sea soul beasts, might have combat power approaching that of a Limit Douluo.

Therefore, he understood that relying solely on the level nine soul-guided cannon would not be enough to deter these two soul beasts. He had to take action personally; the Deep Sea Crab Boss's mental power was clearly exceptionally sharp. It sensed Huo Yuhao's Starship as soon as it entered the Crab Boss's sea area.

Something seemed to be happening beneath the surface of the sea. The once rock-solid Starship was now beginning to tremble slightly. Huo Yuhao's gaze grew even more solemn. He sensed that Crab Boss's cultivation was definitely not just close to 600,000 years; it was very likely that it had already broken through 600,000 years, and it might even be the most powerful sea spirit beast besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Demon Emperor.

A 600,000-year-old soul beast already possesses the strength of a newly ascended Limit Douluo, especially given its home-field advantage of the ocean. Huo Yuhao knew this battle would be exceptionally difficult. He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and prepared to face the upcoming challenge.

Just then, something enormous seemed to be slowly rising from beneath the sea. Huo Yuhao held his breath, staring intently at the surface of the sea.

Suddenly, a gigantic red pincer, seemingly piercing the sky, emerged from the sea, shattering the dark clouds and leaving everything in pieces. Then, a colossal body, over forty meters in diameter, slowly rose to the surface, its eight legs stirring up a storm.

Each of its eight legs is at least five meters in diameter and hundreds of meters long. They swung across the sea, each swing creating towering waves, as if the entire ocean was under the control of this behemoth.

The sailors and gunners stared in disbelief at the incredibly large crab boss before them. Their hearts were filled with shock and bewilderment. What kind of monster was this? How could such a bizarre creature exist in this world?

The crab boss before me was unbelievably enormous, like a mobile fortress in the ocean. His shell was covered with the marks of time, each groove seemingly telling a long and legendary story. His pincers were huge and powerful, as if they could easily tear a warship to pieces.

At the same time, even the Crab Boss himself was utterly astonished by the enormous warship before him. His seasoned eyes had seen countless ships, but this one clearly exceeded his wildest imagination.

The size of this warship far exceeded his previous understanding; it was like a giant beast in the ocean, dominating all others.

Hahaha, they're not even acting anymore! The crab boss recalled the ships he had encountered before. The largest was no more than fifty meters long. Even a sixty-meter ship was considered extremely rare and outrageous in the ocean.

However, the warship in front of us is at least 150 meters long, which is simply an unbelievable figure.

The crab owner estimated that only the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could match the size of the monster before him. In the world of marine life, size often signifies power, and such a colossal existence undoubtedly inspires awe in any creature. The crab owner instinctively felt a surge of fear; his intuition told him that this warship and its owner were no ordinary beings.

However, amidst this tense atmosphere, Huo Yuhao appeared exceptionally excited. His gaze was fixed on the Crab Boss's incredibly sturdy armor, his heart filled with curiosity and a desire to explore. Huo Yuhao wanted to know just how tough this armor was. Could it withstand an attack from a level nine soul-guided cannon?

"Gunners, prepare! Activate the level nine core formation. Fire a volley of shells to show this guy what we're made of!"
