"Xu Yunhan, congratulations. You've passed the fifth trial stage. Your reward is a 15% increase in Sea God affinity and one God-Bestowed Soul Ring. The specific age of the soul ring you obtain will depend on your own endurance."
Bo Saixi appeared before Xu Yunhan, wearing a gentle smile and exuding a faint fragrance. Her figure was voluptuous and alluring. Xu Yunhan began to accept the infusion of power, using it to condense his ninth soul ring. In the end, Xu Yunhan condensed a ninth soul ring of nearly five hundred thousand years.
The moment she found out, Bo Saixi was very surprised; it exceeded her expectations. She was happy for Xu Yunhan in her heart. He was truly worthy of the man she admired. Everyone looked at Xu Yunhan's nine soul rings: "yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red." The three hundred-thousand-year soul rings were especially dazzling.
"What powerful soul power pressure!"
Seamaster Douluo exclaimed, "It feels almost the same as Great Priestess Lord's soul power." Although Bo Saixi was a Level 99 Limit Douluo, she only had one hundred-thousand-year soul ring, while Xu Yunhan had three, and his ninth soul ring was nearly five hundred thousand years old.
"His soul power level must be over Level 95. I don't know the age of his ninth soul ring, but it must be high. At least two or three hundred thousand years," Seaghost Douluo said in surprise.
Zhu Zhuqing saw Xu Yunhan finish absorbing his soul ring and asked happily, "Yun Han, congratulations. You've become a Titled Douluo."
Shui Yue'er asked curiously, "Yun Han, what level are you now?"
Xu Yunhan looked at everyone, in a joyful mood, and said, "I just reached Level 96, and my ninth soul ring is nearly five hundred thousand years old."
Level 96!
A soul ring of nearly five hundred thousand years!
Everyone was shocked!
Bo Saixi said, "Very impressive. Your soul power is almost catching up to mine. And your mental power has increased considerably, far surpassing mine. I'm no longer a match for you now." She wondered if she wouldn't have to sacrifice herself if Xu Yunhan was powerful enough. Bo Saixi didn't want to die; she wanted to be with Xu Yunhan. But if it was to help Xu Yunhan become a god, she was willing to make the sacrifice. She was gradually falling in love with this young man, Xu Yunhan.
"Thank you."
Xu Yunhan looked at Bo Saixi. He was interested in this beauty, especially after sensing that Bo Saixi was also interested in him. He was already looking forward to his future with Bo Saixi. Their eyes met, and a silent exchange of emotions passed between them. Bo Saixi felt a "jolt," her face slightly flushed. She looked away, changing the subject. "Are the others going to undergo the fifth trial today? Everyone is here."
The Fifth Trial: A String of Easy Victories
Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Yue'er, and Huowu stepped forward, ready for the fifth trial stage. They all chose to challenge Sea Maiden Douluo.
"I won't be going easy on you," Sea Maiden Douluo said, looking serious. But there was no conviction in her voice.
Bo Saixi turned a blind eye to it, and the other six sacred pillar guardians didn't interfere either. In truth, Zhu Zhuqing, Huowu, and Shui Yue'er were now Soul Saints. If they used their Martial Spirit True Body and their powerful mental power to counter Sea Maiden Douluo's mental attacks, they weren't completely without a chance. However, Sea Maiden Douluo clearly went easy on all three of them, allowing them to pass the fifth trial.
Shui Yue'er, Zhu Zhuqing, and Huowu received a one-level soul power increase as a reward. Now, only Xiao Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Liu Erlong were left. Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong would have no problem, but Shui Bing'er had to challenge three sacred pillar guardians, which was very difficult.
"Bing'er, Seastar Douluo and Seahorse Douluo have shown me goodwill and are willing to help," Xu Yunhan secretly transmitted to Shui Bing'er. "Choose Sea Maiden Douluo, Seastar Douluo, and Seahorse Douluo. You'll pass. Bo Saixi will also turn a blind eye." After seeing Xu Yunhan's potential and future, it was normal for people to curry favor with him. Xu Yunhan happily accepted it.
Shui Bing'er looked at Xu Yunhan, then said to Bo Saixi, "Great Priestess Lord, I want to challenge Sea Maiden Douluo, Seastar Douluo, and Seahorse Douluo." Bo Saixi was a little surprised. She didn't know about the secret message between Xu Yunhan and Shui Bing'er, but she saw something in the expressions of Seastar Douluo and Seahorse Douluo and chose to ignore it. The Sea God's divine position inheritance was the most important thing. Xu Yunhan's Sea God's Nine Trials seemed to be going well. Everything else was secondary.
And so, with Sea Maiden Douluo, Seastar Douluo, and Seahorse Douluo deliberately going easy, Shui Bing'er passed the fifth trial. Her reward was a one-level soul power increase and a one-thousand-year increase in the age of her soul rings.
"Seastar and Seahorse are so cunning! They deliberately went easy on her to curry favor with Xu Yunhan, and now they've gotten a head start!" Seafantasy Douluo sighed inwardly. Seadragon Douluo, Seamaster Douluo, and Seaghost Douluo also had an idea. Xu Yunhan would likely become the new Sea God. If they were to pledge their loyalty now, they might reap great benefits in the future.
As a result, in the subsequent challenges of Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong, even if they were outmatched, the sacred pillar guardians explicitly went easy on them.
Bo Saixi felt embarrassed to even watch.
Ning Rongrong and Jiang Zhu also completed the fifth trial. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong received a one-level soul power increase and a one-thousand-year increase in the age of their soul rings. Liu Erlong and Jiang Zhu received a one-level soul power increase. Jiang Zhu also completed her Black Level Five Test, so she received a God-Bestowed Soul Ring of just over one hundred thousand years as a reward. Her eighth soul ring was now accounted for.
The Sixth Trial
The next day.
Xu Yunhan, Liu Erlong, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Huowu, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er, all eight of them, continued on to the sixth trial stage. Jiang Zhu's trials were all completed, so she stood by and watched with Sea Maiden Douluo.
The sixth trial stage was to endure the time it took for one stick of incense to burn in Bo Saixi's presence. Everyone gathered by the sea.
"Teacher Erlong, you all stand back. I want to have a match with Bo Saixi first." Xu Yunhan said.
Liu Erlong and the others left. This trial had nothing to do with them; they were just there to watch Xu Yunhan's battle with Bo Saixi.
"Xu Yunhan, let's not use mental attacks. Our soul power difference is vast, so let's just have a good, clean fight," Bo Saixi hadn't had a serious fight in many years. She also wanted to have a good battle with Xu Yunhan to deepen their relationship.
"Good," Xu Yunhan nodded. "I also want to see how strong I am now."
The two of them immediately used their Martial Spirit True Body. Bo Saixi's martial spirit was the Sea God, with immense water-attribute power that could borrow the strength of the ocean. Xu Yunhan's Martial Spirit True Body granted a huge boost, making his soul power almost on par with Bo Saixi's. The sky became overcast and heavy rain started to fall. This was all due to Bo Saixi's power.
"Demonic Axe!"
Xu Yunhan used his hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill. A bloody ax flew towards Bo Saixi.
"Contain!"
Bo Saixi waved her hand, and a water sphere appeared, trapping the bloody ax. Then, the rainwater in the air transformed into several water dragons and flew towards Xu Yunhan.
"White Tiger Seal!"
Xu Yunhan instantly used his hundred-thousand-year soul skill. Several white tiger seals appeared, meeting the water dragons.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion echoed in the sky.
"Water Tornado!"
The sea behind Bo Saixi surged, and a few towering water tornadoes quickly approached, accompanied by a fierce gale.
"Tiger's Roar in the Mountain Forest!"
"Roar!"
Xu Yunhan let out a tiger's roar that shook heaven and earth, shattering the waves and the water tornadoes.
"Water Cage!"
Bo Saixi raised her hand, and in an instant, Xu Yunhan was encased in a blue water sphere. Vicious shark-like sea soul beasts appeared in the water cage, biting at him.
"Godslayer!"
Xu Yunhan activated his new soul skill. A giant palm appeared and shattered the water cage.
