"This training speed is already quite fast, but unfortunately it is still far behind the experience feedback of Ivysaur."
Qing Mu shook her head slightly and said.
This increase in cultivation speed is essentially achieved by using the pressure of the Sea God's Light on the body, causing the soul power within the body to circulate rapidly on its own, thereby absorbing the surrounding energy to strengthen itself.
However, his body will become stronger, and the transformation of his body by the Light of the Sea God will also rapidly reduce the pressure around him.
He is now close to reaching the summit, and the effect of the Sea God's Light on his cultivation is only slightly better than nothing.
About half an hour later, Qingmu and Venusaur got up again and walked upwards.
After climbing a few steps, Qingmu and Venusaur stopped and continued to let the Light of the Sea God transform their bodies.
And so, Qingmu and Venusaur walked and stopped, and soon arrived at the thousandth step, only a step away from Poseidon in front of the Sea God Temple.
A moment later, Qingmu and Venusaur took the final step, and all the pressure on their bodies instantly dissipated. A dazzling golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Qingmu and Venusaur.
Instantly, Qing Mu's fatigue from climbing the 1001 steps vanished, and she felt refreshed.
After feeling refreshed, Qingmu looked at the Venusaur beside her and noticed that Venusaur had undergone some changes. The edges of the eight-pointed ice grass and the blazing almond on its back were now tinged with a light gold.
Through the connection with Ivysaur, Qingmu could clearly understand the thoughts of these two magical herbs.
"Ah, this feels so good~"
"I feel like I'm about to evolve."
Qingmu stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "It seems that Venusaur can continue to evolve. Although Venusaur mainly relies on the Wood type, it actually has four types now: Wood, Poison, Ice, and Fire. If we add the Water type from Poseidon, that would be five types."
After multiple evolutions, Venusaur is no longer the same species as the original Venusaur, let alone the Venusaur that has combined three forms: Crystallization, Mega Evolution, and Gigantamax.
Even if you brought a species of Venusaur, they wouldn't recognize it as a Venusaur.
At the same time, a somewhat majestic voice rang in Qing Mu's mind: "The Sea God's First Test, Transcending the Complete Light of the Sea God, Exceeding Expectations."
The reward is a 10% increase in affinity with the Sea God; the current affinity is 10%!
In an instant, a sliver of blue light shone from the Trident of Poseidon atop Venusaur's head. This blue light continuously transformed Venusaur's body, making its pale gold color even more pronounced.
At the same time, Qingmu could also feel the changes in his body, and it was clear that the modifications made to Venusaur were also being reflected back to him.
At this moment, Poseidon walked up to Qingmu and said to him, "Congratulations, Qingmu, you have passed the first test of the Sea God."
"It's just the first test, nothing to worry about. Besides, with my current strength, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I couldn't even pass the first test?"
Qingmu waved his hand dismissively.
Then, Qingmu quickly flew to the edge of the island, where he was about to begin the second test for Venusaur.
With Venusaur's current strength, even if there are rules restricting its use of spirit rings and spirit skills, a mere 100,000-year-old demonic great white shark and a group of thousand-year-old sea spirit beasts would naturally be unable to stop it.
The only difficulty is not being able to kill the Sea Spirit Beast, but that's still not a big problem for Venusaur.
Nine spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, gold-red, gold-red, and crimson gold—appeared around Qing Mu. Then, Qing Mu's first spirit ring lit up, and the seaweed on the bottom of the entire circular lake began to grow wildly.
Yes, Venusaur inherited the position of Sea God. According to the rules, the heir cannot use Soul Ring skills. What is Guan Qingmu's relationship with Venusaur?
The moment Qingmu used Grassy Terrain, Venusaur also moved.
From the center of the flower on Venusaur's back, a thick green powder was sprayed out. This powder drifted with the wind and quickly merged into the entire ring-shaped sea.
A moment later, countless sea spirit beasts, including the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark, slowly floated to the surface of the sea.
That's right, this is the sleep powder that Venusaur hasn't used in a long time. With Venusaur's current level, even a 100,000-year-old soul beast would fall asleep instantly after coming into contact with the sleep powder!
As for why Venusaur can use Sleep Powder, let me ask you, is Sleep Powder a Soul Ring skill?
With the hypnotic powder rendering the sea spirit beasts within the ring-shaped sea unable to resist, and the grassy terrain continuously healing the sea spirit beasts within the ring-shaped sea to ensure their survival, Qingmu and Venusaur passed the second trial almost instantly.
The moment she passed through the ring-shaped sea, the voice of the sea god appeared in Qingmu's mind once again.
"The second test of the Sea God: break through the blockade of the ring sea without killing any sea spirit beasts. If you exceed the target, the reward is a 10% increase in Sea God affinity and a 1,000-year increase in the age of all spirit rings."
The next moment, Qing Mu felt his first and second spirit rings change from yellow to purple.
Qing Mu looked at the first and second soul rings that had changed color, and nodded slightly, saying, "The lifespan has been increased by a thousand years? That's fine."
Although Venusaur's Soul Ring Pokémon mechanics are dominant, this doesn't mean that the Soul Ring's age is completely useless; it still has some use.
Then, Qingmu and Venusaur were surrounded by blue light, and in a flash, they arrived in front of the somewhat stunned Poseidon. Qingmu said, "Poseidon-senpai, please take me to the third test area."
Meanwhile, in the realm of gods!
Inside the Temple of Poseidon, Poseidon watched Qing Mu's actions, his lips twitching slightly.
Qing Mu passed the first two tests that he had originally set as if it were a joke, which made him, the Sea God, lose face!
But after thinking for a while, Poseidon shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, forget it, let it be. Anyway, he probably won't be able to pass the third test of Tidal Body Refinement quickly."
If things develop as he expected, and Qing Mu inherits the Sea God's position normally, he will definitely redesign the assessment to match Qing Mu's strength.
Given the current situation, he has already passed on the divine position to a frog, so there's no need to redesign the assessment.
As for the so-called face of the sea god, that was already lost when he decided to pass on his divine position to a frog.
Now Poseidon only hopes that the test for the succession of the divine position can proceed smoothly and that no one will cause trouble, so that he can pass on the position of sea god.
In this way, he can carry buckets and run errands, escape the prison of the divine realm, and regain his freedom.
To achieve this goal, some minor setbacks along the way are tolerable.
