Chapter 277: Poseidon's Request
Generally speaking, it's impossible to possess a 100% Divine Body without breaking through to the Divine rank. At best, one could achieve 99% like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
But Mo Hui's situation was clearly different. His physical physique was already considered strong among soul masters of his level, and having absorbed the whale glue of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had successfully broken through a million years ago, his body had long since transcended the realm of mortals.
Now, with feedback from the Sea God that his affinity exceeded 100%, Mo Hui's body had found the opportunity to break through. While achieving a 100% Divine Body was unexpected, it was also within reason.
Despite the initial surprise, Mo Hui wasn't overly surprised.
He would naturally achieve the Divine Body when he broke through to the Divine rank; achieving it now simply saved him some effort.
With this in mind, Mo Hui stood up and vanished in a flash.
A moment later, Mo Hui arrived at the center of Seagod Island. Watching Ning Rongrong, still climbing, he said in surprise,
"Has she reached the second level of the Seven-Colored Glazed Body so quickly? It seems Ning Rongrong isn't as fragile as she appears."
The Seven-Colored Glazed Body was a technique Mo Hui had created based on the characteristics of his spirit, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. At its peak, it could withstand the soul skills of a Soul Douluo-level spirit master with one's physical body, remaining unscathed.
This power, however, came at a price: the extreme pain of practicing. While this pain might not be a big deal for Mo Hui, who had endured the trials of storms and tidal waves, it was an absolute hellish experience for Ning Rongrong, a pampered young woman.
After observing Ning Rongrong's training for a while, Mo Hui suddenly looked behind him and said, "Senior Poseidon, is there anything you want to say?"
Poseidon had been standing behind Mo Hui for a long time, silent, ever since he arrived in the open space in front of the Seagod Temple.
After hearing Mo Hui's question, a look of struggle crossed Poseidon's eyes. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Lord Mo Hui, could you please give me some time? I'd like to see an old friend."
While this shouldn't have been done by Poseidon Island's High Priestess, Mo Hui had already completed the eighth trial. If he didn't speak up, she wouldn't have another chance once the ninth trial actually began.
Mo Hui instantly understood her intentions. With her deadline approaching, she wanted to put an end to her former love.
Then, standing with his hands behind his back, he said calmly, "Tang Chen is in the Slaughter City. If you're determined, go ahead. But the consequences will be your own responsibility."
Tang Chen had failed the divine test and was now half-dead, relying solely on the power of the Asura God to maintain this strange equilibrium.
If Poseidon hadn't gone, Tang Chen might have survived. But if he went and used the power of the Sea God to activate Tang Chen's will, the surging power of the Asura God would instantly overwhelm Tang Chen's body.
Upon hearing this, Poseidon looked at Mo Hui in surprise, then knelt before him three times before flying away from Seagod Island.
Poseidon didn't ask how Mo Hui had learned about Tang Chen; that wasn't important, and there was no reason for Mo Hui to lie.
After Poseidon left, Mo Hui sighed softly, "Is love really that important? Even though we've lived for over a hundred years as Ultimate Douluo, we still can't escape it."
But thinking that Douluo Continent is also known as the Love Continent, Mo Hui felt relieved. After all, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who later became gods, were both obsessed with love. Bibi Dong, in particular, wanted to destroy the world in order to create a world with only her and Yu Xiaogang. By comparison, everyone else seemed normal.
Shaking his head helplessly, Mo Hui waved to Ning Rongrong, who was standing on the steps in front of the Seagod Temple, and said, "Rongrong, come here!"
Upon hearing Mo Hui's words, Ning Rongrong immediately gave up her fight against the Seagod's Light and slowly retreated down the stairs.
"Master, is there anything wrong?"
Ning Rongrong quickly ran to Mo Hui. Her clothes were already wet with sweat and she looked a little tired.
Mo Hui said calmly, "I see you've been working so hard against the Light of the Sea God, so I'll give you something good."
He then pulled a fist-sized, dark yellow solid from his storage ring.
Ning Rongrong blushed shyly, saying, "Master, this... this looks like whale glue!"
Could it be... could it be that Mo Hui has taken a fancy to her? But now she's his apprentice; such a thing wouldn't be appropriate between a master and a disciple, right?
As for why Ning Rongrong recognized whale glue so instantly, it was because Ning Fengzhi had acquired a large amount of whale glue in order to reproduce, and Ning Rongrong recognized it after seeing it so often.
While Ning Rongrong was lost in thought, Pidgeot had used his hot air to melt the thousand-year-old whale glue in Mo Hui's hand into a jelly-like state.
Then, Mo Hui poured the whale glue into a cup and handed it to Ning Rongrong, saying, "Eat it."
"Ah, all... all?"
Ning Rongrong swallowed, gazing at the large cup of whale glue Mo Hui handed her.
So much thousand-year-old whale gelatin, if all of it were eaten...
Mo Hui only took a quick glance and knew what Ning Rongrong was thinking. He immediately patted Ning Rongrong on the head and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. If I were interested in you, I wouldn't have waited until now. Hurry and eat it."
"Oh, okay, Master."
Ning Rongrong rubbed her head in pain, took the cup of whale gelatin in front of her, and quickly downed it.
While it was a good thing that Mo Hui had no such thoughts, for some reason, Ning Rongrong felt a sense of disappointment.
"What a strange taste."
Ning Rongrong frowned as she savored the whale gelatin in her mouth.
The whale gelatin had a distinct fishy smell, but apart from that, the overall taste was quite good, even slightly sweet.
As Ning Rongrong swallowed the whale gelatin, her body suddenly began to heat up, and more sweat fell from her.
"Master, this is too hot," Ning Rongrong said, a little dazed from the heat.
Seeing this, Mo Hui waved his hand, summoning a sea of water to cover Ning Rongrong. Then, with a single hand, the water transformed into cold ice.
Although Mo Hui's soul skills did not include any ice-attribute moves, with his current accumulation, creating one would not be difficult.
About half an hour later, Ning Rongrong finally digested the energy from the ten thousand year old whale glue and regained consciousness.
After regaining consciousness, Ning Rongrong, who had cultivated the Seven Colored Glaze Body, immediately noticed the changes in her body and excitedly shouted to Mo Hui, "Master, my body is much stronger than before."
