Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 487 Red-Rank Seven Trials?
"Yes, Rongrong is with us."

Reach out your hand, and the lotus root on the ground will gleam.

Soil, gravel, and rocks surged and churned, like waves composed of earth elements, covering the traces on both sides of the lake shore.

"The poisonous barrier of phosphorus cannot stop Tang Chen's progress."

"Only by erasing the traces of life and reaching the abyss that the soul cannot fathom can we find a little bit of security."

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo remained silent.

The elder guarding the temple loaded the theoretical pages recorded by the sect over the years into the soul guide device.

Manager Ning led all the sect members away from this brilliant land of life, following the guidance of the Blue Silver Grass, and slowly arrived at the abyss beneath the earth's veins.

The buildings erected by the sect were once again destroyed, reduced to ruins.

"The Eye of Ice and Fire"

Han Tao's fingers clenched tightly, his eyes filled with unbearable emotions—a mixture of sadness, dejection, and resentment.

"It is a place of natural wonder, a place where plant spirit beasts can evolve a thousandfold. It is of paramount importance to Blue Silver Grass."

But now…

Soothing, soothing, I let go of her hand.

"I lack the confidence to protect this patch of Blue Silver Grass from Tang Chen."

"I can only abandon this place for now, but please believe me, I will definitely come back, I definitely will!"

Dark Blue Silver Grass, Spider Lily, Earth Lotus, Ghost Fire Flower Cup, Wind Whisper, Ghost King Vine, Eight-Cornered Frost.
Han Tao also brought hundreds or thousands of different varieties of the Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass with different evolutionary lineages to the lush Star Dou Great Forest, because only a sufficiently vast forest could withstand Tang Chen's malice at this moment.

Ning Rongrong looked slightly bitter.

"Sacrificing is only temporary!"

"Han Tao, when you break through to the Title Douluo or Peerless Douluo level, you will surely be able to generate power that can shake the gods. And when that time comes, it will be time for us to return."

Han Tao rarely saw this expression on Ning Rongrong's face; it seemed that even the once innocent girl was now filled with sorrow.

"Well, let's go!"

The martial spirit slowly flew into the sky.

The "Rising Sun," formed by the fusion of the Blue Silver Eye, the Power of Faith, the Blue Silver Overlord, and the Third Eye Bone, slowly rises.

Step onto the sails bound for Poseidon Island, the wind whispering through your hair as it gently lifts the sails and propells the ship forward.

Human Soul Masters appear insignificant on the Douluo Continent, and the Douluo Continent itself is equally insignificant compared to the scale of the ocean.

Suddenly, surging waves rose up on the boundless, magnificent, and turbulent sea.

"what is that?"

"A soul beast, an ocean soul beast!"

The whale, with its sapphire-blue body, guides the ripples and rhythms of the seawater. On its head are two enormous eyes, about three feet apart in radius.

Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
"Just like the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm of the past, it is only a hair's breadth away from becoming a million-year soul beast."

"But this thin line is the distance between life and death, and also the chasm between mortals and gods. Millions of years have passed in a flash, and only Tianmeng has crossed the insurmountable barrier of soul beasts."

Ning Rongrong stood on tiptoe, one leg resting on the top of the sail, gazing into the distance.

The wind blowing past her ears made her dress flutter and cling tightly to her waistline.

"Can we win?"

"can!"

Han Tao picked up the conversation, but instead of fighting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he focused his attention on the horizon.

There, was Tang Chen.

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is neither Di Tian nor Shura God Tang Chen. Although the ocean is its home ground, it is difficult to bridge the gap in strength."

"It is no match for us!"

Ye Lingling smiled gently.

Inside her soul tool was the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which was a necessary item for inheriting the Sea God's position.

"arrive."

In the distance, the blurred islands gradually became clear. The boundary between the shallows and the deep sea was a distinct two-tone color, and a white fish-like shadow darted out, blocking Han Tao and the others.

"This is Poseidon Island!"

Looking at the three young faces and their bright eyes, one could see a kind of innocent purity.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark instinctively assumed that this was a noble disciple who had wandered the world and mistakenly entered the Seagod Island region, so it frowned.

"You are truly fortunate to have come to Seagod Island without being attacked by sea spirit beasts."

"Generally speaking, mainland Soul Masters who come to Seagod Island only have two choices: either accept the Holy Pillar's test, or if they succeed, they become Sea Soul Masters on the island."

"Either return the way you came, or if you choose to return, I will show you the way."

Her face was expressionless, and her tone was mechanical and stiff, clearly indicating that these words had been repeated countless times over hundreds or thousands of years.

Han Tao asked, "What happens if I fail the assessment?"

Upon hearing this question, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"The Holy Pillar Trial has only two outcomes: success or death."

"Receiving a gift from the Sea God naturally comes with a price. However, the Sea God is very tolerant and benevolent. The difficulty of the test is closely related to your talent. As long as you work hard, passing the test with the Sea God's gift is not too difficult."

"but!"

At this point, her expression suddenly turned cold.

"If you don't have the strength to face it, you can seek help from the High Priest of the Sea God, but never, ever think about running away."

"Otherwise, all the soul masters on Seagod Island will hunt you down, and you will have nowhere to go in the vast ocean!"

Seeing her suddenly turn sour, Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling were still wondering why, but Han Tao had already figured out the reason.

[It seems Yu Xiaogang's escape disrupted the order of Seagod Island, causing them to become like this?]
Do you want to go to the island?

"Of course!"

Han Tao answered without hesitation.

Soon, guided by the great white shark, they arrived at the seahorse pillar on Poseidon Island.

"With the seahorse offering, three Soul Masters from the mainland have come to undergo the assessment."

Seahorse Douluo stared at Han Tao: "Are you... people from the Spirit Hall?"

Ning Rongrong frowned: "No!"

At the same time, she summoned her martial spirit, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shimmered in the air.

Upon seeing her spirit, Seahorse Douluo immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Seagod Island does not welcome spirit masters from the Spirit Hall. Since none of you are from the Spirit Hall, you can accept the Holy Pillar test of Seagod Island."

A strange energy suddenly floated above the sacred pillar. Han Tao gently guided his mind to sense and analyze the energy.

"Is it the element of the ocean, the element of the vast sea, or the consciousness and divinity of the sea god?"

"neither!"

Although no answer was found, the absence of an answer is also a solution, because Han Tao can rule out known forces and compositions.

The light from the sacred pillar extended and brightened, changing from white, yellow, purple, and black to a bewitching red, finally settling on Ning Rongrong.

"Red Level Seventh Test!"

Seahorse Douluo's voice trembled.

His expression changed instantly, becoming respectful and solemn, because the seventh level of the Red Trial represented the next candidate for High Priest of the Sea God.

"It's my turn!"

Ye Lingling stepped forward, her soul tool quietly turning, the aura of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover floating on her fingers.

White, yellow, purple, black.
Ultimately, the color remained red, failing to transform into the unique azure of the ocean as Han Tao had hoped.

"Seventh level of Red-rank examination?"

Seahorse Douluo's eyes were still filled with awe.

Ye Lingling clenched her nails into her fist, because the grade of the Holy Pillar assessment determined the Sea God's attitude towards her.
