Boom—!
The moment Davis flew into the skies above the Ring Sea, the sea soul beasts extended a passionate "welcome."
Water spouts erupted like flood dragons breaking the surface, crashing toward him with reckless abandon, seemingly intent on shattering his body into pieces.
"Senior Xiao Bai, what a truly warm welcome..."
Watching a water spout that resembled a giant sea serpent barreling toward him, Davis's tone suddenly grew heavy. He waved his large hand, and the mark of the Killing God surfaced in his eyes.
Solidified, blood-red killing intent swept across the surroundings like a storm. Biting cold light radiated outward, perfectly enveloping the incoming water spout.
"Domain Expansion: Deathgod Domain!"
Davis muttered to himself. As he spoke, a crisp crackling sound echoed through the air. Upon colliding with the frigid killing intent, the water spout could not withstand the cold energy. It froze at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming into a heavy, suspended ice sculpture.
Roar! Roar!
Before Davis could catch his breath, earth-shattering roars and hisses erupted from beneath the surging waves, sweeping across the entire ocean.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dozens of water spouts shot into the clouds, morphing into countless winding sea serpents that struck at Davis. Enemies surrounded him from all directions. There were so many water spouts that the cold energy of the Deathgod Domain couldn't freeze them all in time.
However, seeing this overwhelming barrage only thoroughly ignited Davis's fighting spirit! A fanatical will to battle burned in his eyes.
"Bring it on! I'll play with you. I haven't had a proper fight since becoming a Titled Douluo anyway!"
As he spoke, he injected two streams of soul power into his eyes and his right leg.
"Ice and Fire Evil Eyes, activate!"
"Right Leg Soul Bone Skill: Bloodthirsty Berserk!"
Instantly, his Wings of Ice and Fire vibrated at high speed, and his entire body transformed into a golden afterimage, weaving and dodging through the chaotic array of water spouts.
Relying on the abnormal dynamic vision of the Ice and Fire Evil Eyes, Davis saw through the trajectories of the water spouts completely. To his eyes, their speed was as slow as crawling snails.
Davis danced through the sky, rapidly advancing toward the island on the opposite shore. Not only did the dozens of water spouts fail to harm him, but even the splashing water droplets couldn't touch him.
"What incredible speed! I didn't expect that Davis could unleash such velocity without using soul skills. And his martial soul is so strange; it actually makes me feel a deep sense of dread. Aside from Lord Sea God, this is the first time I've felt this way..."
Under the sea, Xiao Bai, in her form as the Demon Spirit Great White Shark King, watched Davis nearing the opposite shore with a solemn expression.
Immediately after, she snorted coldly.
"Hmph, I can't let him cross that easily. Otherwise, wouldn't I lose face? Deep Sea Swordfish King, take your subordinates and use your clan's combination skill: Wild Water Arrow Barrage!"
Hiss! Hiss!
As soon as Xiao Bai's voice fell, a sword-shaped sea soul beast, five meters in length, swam wildly through the ocean. Behind it followed hundreds of Deep Sea Swordfish.
For every ten thousand years of cultivation, a Deep Sea Swordfish grows one meter in length. This King being five meters long indicated its cultivation exceeded fifty thousand years.
Upon receiving Xiao Bai's command, the Deep Sea Swordfish King immediately condensed its soul power into its slender and sharp bill.
Swoosh—
Instantly, a piercing sound tore through the ocean air. The Deep Sea Swordfish King shuddered, and a sharp water arrow shot forth, creating an ear-splitting boom as it rubbed against the air!
Following the King, the hundreds of other Deep Sea Swordfish also fired sharp water arrows, sweeping toward Davis with the force to split bamboo.
"What?!"
Davis, who was busy dodging the water spouts, heard the piercing whistle of the wind. He instantly went on alert and glanced down at the sea. Seeing hundreds of razor-sharp water arrows shooting toward him, his pupils constricted.
"You think these water arrows can stop me? Keep dreaming!"
"Soul Bone Skill: Thousand-Jun Battle Armor!"
Davis hurriedly condensed his soul power, and a pitch-black suit of armor materialized over his body. He then allowed the water arrows to strike him directly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a series of crisp impacts, the water arrows failed to leave even a scratch on the hard Thousand-Jun Battle Armor. Not to mention these fragile water arrows, even the remaining water spouts couldn't leave a mark on Davis.
He glanced at the opposite shore; he was only three hundred meters away. At his speed, he could cross it in less than three seconds.
However, being ambushed without retaliating was not his style.
"Since the trial rules forbid killing soul beasts, I'll just teach you a little lesson! White Tiger Domain, activate!"
Invisible ripples swept out, covering a radius of over a thousand meters and enveloping the school of Deep Sea Swordfish. The oppressive pressure of the world's number one beast martial soul instantly swept through their spirits.
For a moment, the Deep Sea Swordfish, including their King, trembled in fear. They didn't dare make a move, ignoring even Xiao Bai's orders to attack Davis further.
Next, Davis raised his right arm high. Soul power surged upstream, injecting into his right arm soul bone, erupting with brilliant white light.
"Soul Bone Skill: Tiger Roar of the Mountains and Forests!"
Davis punched out. A piercing sonic shockwave poured into the ocean, stirring up terrifying waves on the already turbulent surface!
The essence of sound is vibration. By punching vibration waves into the sea, he instantly triggered a small-scale tsunami on the surface.
While the scale of this tsunami might not be enough to destroy an island, it was enough to make those fragile sea soul beasts suffer.
The underwater currents surged violently. The continuous vibrations from Davis's "Tiger Roar" combined with the Ring Sea's natural currents to create a small deep-sea vortex. It sucked the school of Deep Sea Swordfish in, spinning them until they were dizzy and disoriented.
Even Xiao Bai had to temporarily retreat from the surface to avoid being sucked into the deep-sea vortex.
Meanwhile, Davis seized this golden opportunity to break through the blockade of water spouts and land effortlessly on the island on the opposite shore.
"Hehe, this wasn't that hard after all!"
Davis couldn't help but laugh aloud. If the rules hadn't forbidden him from using soul skills or killing sea soul beasts, Davis dared to say he could have completed this Second Trial within a minute!
"Hmph, I didn't expect this brat to be so formidable..."
Watching the triumphant Davis on the opposite shore, Xiao Bai grit her teeth in anger. However, having been outmatched, there wasn't much she could say.
On the shore of the Ring Sea, Anna saw that Davis had completed the trial and felt happy for him. "Yay! Brother Vis successfully broke through Sister Xiao Bai's blockade. It looks like this Second Trial isn't that difficult!"
