Douluo: Soul Breaking Spear

Chapter 197 Second Level Assessment
The five people looked at Yang Podi with some confusion. Finally, Yang Tianyue spoke up: "Brother, are we going to pass through the ring sea without being blocked by this 100,000-year-old soul beast? This is too difficult."

Yang Podi couldn't help but smile: "It's indeed not easy, but you should all try it first. This can be considered as a kind of experience for you."

Seeing the others' puzzled looks, Yang Podi continued, "We are land soul masters after all, and have never had the experience of fighting against sea soul masters. Now that we have such a good sparring partner, isn't it a good opportunity for us to learn from the experience of fighting against sea soul masters? You guys try it first, and we will decide on the specific plan later."

The five people looked at Yang Podi with some confusion, but they still entered the circular sea one by one. However, they were quickly knocked out of the sea and suffered considerable injuries.

Niu Meng couldn't help but say: "Brother, this is a hundred thousand year soul beast, isn't it a bit too difficult?"

Yang Podi couldn't help laughing: "A 100,000-year soul beast that has no ill intentions, or even a soul beast that is not fatal. Where do you think you can find a sparring partner of this level?"

"From today on, in addition to meditating, everyone must go to the sea to fight Xiaobai. This will quickly increase everyone's combat experience in the future, especially the experience of fighting against sea soul masters."

Yang Tianyue looked at Yang Podi with some confusion: "Brother, if you lead us there yourself, with the soul bones of several of us, wouldn't it be very simple? Why did it take so long?"

Yang Podi shook his head: "You are going to accept the inheritance of the Sea God. A Sea God cannot be without experience in fighting in the sea. You should practice hard first. The current battle is just the basics. It can even be said that there is no danger. The subsequent assessments will probably be more dangerous, so you need to improve yourself as much as possible."

After some communication among the few people, they finally decided on the next training method.

Everyone must try to stay in the circular sea to fight Xiaobai every day. At the same time, no one should slack off and must work hard to meditate and improve their soul power. This year is a rare free time, and I am afraid that all future assessments will be full of dangers.

After Yang Podi finished speaking, he took out some soul beast meat from his soul guide and prepared to start grilling it.

In the past year, I have been busy with cultivation and have basically not had any time to relax. It is rare that the second level assessment is relatively simple, so I can relax a little.

I have been on the Sea God Island for a year, and basically every meal is seafood. I am a little tired of it. I took this opportunity to take out a lot of things I had prepared before, including fine wine and soul beast meat. These soul beast meats had been frozen before being put into the storage soul guide, so they can be kept fresh even after a year, so there is no problem eating them.

The other five people also completely relaxed and had a barbecue together on the circular beach. Especially the barbecue mixed with fine wine was particularly attractive and it was a rare opportunity to relax.

However, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiaobai seemed to have smelled the scent and came to the beach again, with a somewhat strange expression on his face.

Yang Podi smiled and said, "Senior Xiaobai, we are having a barbecue, would you like to come and have some?"

Everyone seemed a little puzzled. This Xiao Bai was obviously an enemy, so why did they invite him to eat barbecue and drink wine? Especially Niu Meng, who was a pure foodie and was afraid that he would snatch the food from others.

Yang Podi was so angry that he waved his hand and knocked Niu Meng into the sea. He also secretly pinched Ye Lingling's waist, indicating that she should treat Xiaobai well.

Ye Lingling seemed to understand Yang Podi's meaning, and repeatedly invited Xiaobai to come and taste it.

Although Xiaobai said he was sorry, his actions were not slow at all, especially after drinking two cups. He seemed a little dizzy and did not have the cool and aloof look of a hundred thousand year old soul beast at all.

Especially with the three girls, they seemed to get along very well. After only half an hour, they were already calling each other sisters, which made Yang Podi speechless. Are they just fake sisters? How could they get so close so quickly?
As for Niu Meng, this reckless man, he is simply a slow-witted person and I don't bother to pay attention to him.

In the following year, everyone practiced hard and had to fight various battles every day.

As for Xiaobai, after getting familiar with everyone, his relationship has improved a lot. However, Xiaobai is still very repulsive to Yang Podi. He obviously does not like Yang Podi killing hundred thousand year soul beasts, nor does he like Yang Podi's attitude towards hundred thousand year soul beasts.

During this year's hard training, the combat experience of all the sea soul masters has improved a lot, and the level of soul power has also increased slowly, but it is obviously not as fast as practicing under the light of the sea god.

After a year of hard training, Niu Meng and Dugu Yan both reached the bottleneck of level 70 and obtained the same god-given soul rings. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not reach the 100,000-year level. It was estimated that Dugu Yan's seventh soul ring was only about 50,000 years old, and Niu Meng's seventh soul ring was estimated to have reached the 70,000-year level.

After a year of training, Yang Tianyue's soul power has reached level 80, but now he has no time to absorb soul rings, and there are no other hundred thousand year soul beasts nearby.

After a year of training, Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling's soul power reached level 77. An improvement of four levels in one year is considered very good.

Niu Meng and Dugu Yan have both reached level 72. Since Niu Meng's soul ring is relatively old, his soul power has caught up with Dugu Yan.

Yang Podi himself entered the circular sea many times to fight against Xiaobai, and neither side could gain much advantage. Xiaobai was extremely fast and flexible in the circular sea, and the power of a hundred thousand year soul beast was also very good. Ordinary Titled Douluo could not defeat it in the sea at all.

And Yang Podi was able to fight Xiaobai to a draw with his strong physical fitness, which was considered good. Of course, this was when Yang Podi's soul ring was restricted and he didn't even use his soul bones. Otherwise, it would not be too difficult for Yang Podi to seriously injure or even kill Xiaobai now.

After a year of training, Yang Podi's soul power increased again and now has reached level 89. His actual strength has only increased by one and a half levels. After all, he had already reached the peak of level 87 under the light of the sea god.

Finally, the last day of the second level assessment has arrived, and everyone is gearing up to pass the final assessment.

Just as Yang Podi expected, although the hundred thousand year old demon soul great white shark was very powerful, the pressure was not that great for the six people now, especially for the six people who had an average of two soul bones, they could not gain any advantage at all.

After a battle, the six people quickly passed through the circular sea and passed the second level of the test of the Sea God.

After passing the test, a voice came from Yang Podi's mind: "With your powerful strength, assist the descendants of the Sea God to pass through the ring sea, and at the same time complete the training of the descendants of the Sea God, and increase the age of all soul rings by 5,000 years." Yang Podi couldn't help but complain: What the hell is this Sea God doing? Why does he like to increase the age of his soul rings? Why can't he help himself increase his soul power by one level, or improve something else?

However, the others gained a lot. Almost everyone improved their soul power by one level. Yang Tianyue did not improve his ability, but this level actually directly increased his affinity with the Sea God by 10%, which was also very good.

Ye Lingling increased the age of her soul ring by another five hundred years. The soul rings have now become four purple and three black, which can be said to be very good. Even the strength of her soul skills has been greatly improved.

Yang Podi's current spirit rings have become six black and two red, which makes him look even more extraordinary. At least he no longer has low-level spirit rings like yellow and purple.

Now Yang Ping'an is level 79, Ye Lingling is also level 79, Niu Meng is level 74, Dugu Yan is level 74, and Yang Tianyue is still level 80.

However, surprisingly, the content of the third test of Poseidon was not tidal body training.

The red screen in front of Yang Podi also changed: "Red Level 1 Test, Third Level, Peak Whale Shark Battle, Assist the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan to kill the Evil Demon Killer Whale, and Assist the Sea God's Heir to complete the third level assessment."

Yang Podi's eyes suddenly lit up: This Sea God is quite interesting. Knowing that Tianyue is now level 80 and can absorb a hundred thousand year soul ring, he probably wants the Evil Killer Whale King to be Tianyue's eighth soul ring.

The assessment contents for other people are somewhat similar, basically they all involve participating in the peak whale shark battle and killing the evil killer whale, but the assessment contents for each person are a little different.

Yang Tianyue was the third of the nine tests of the Sea God, and his task was to kill the evil killer whale king.

Yang Ping'an's assessment content is to kill 15 evil killer whales.

Dugu Yan’s assessment is to kill 10 evil killer whales.

Niu Meng’s assessment content is to kill 8 evil killer whales.

The only difference is Ye Lingling. Ye Lingling’s assessment content is to protect the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, and the loss must not exceed one-fifth.

The time required to complete the third test of Poseidon is still one year.

Yang Podi was thinking whether he should complete the third level of the Sea God assessment now, or wait until Yang Ping'an reached level 80. After all, Yang Ping'an was only one level away. In the group of evil killer whales, in addition to the evil killer whale king, there were also many old evil killer whales, which were very suitable for Yang Ping'an's Soul-Breaking Spear.

However, after thinking it over again and again, Yang Ping'an decided to complete the third level of assessment as soon as possible. He would talk about the soul ring later. Moreover, based on Yang Ping'an's current physical condition, it is possible for his eighth soul ring to absorb a hundred thousand year soul ring, especially after the tidal body training. It would be a complete waste to absorb an ordinary soul ring now.

What's more, if Yang Ping'an completes all six black-level tests, he might even get another god-given soul ring, which would be quite interesting.

After some communication, Yang Podi went straight to Xiaobai to discuss matters concerning the peak whale shark battle.

After hearing this, Xiaobai's face changed completely, and there seemed to be a hint of fear on her face. It was obvious that the evil killer whale had cast a huge shadow on her.

Xiaobai thought for a while before speaking: "There are three soul beast races in the sea that are ranked at the top of soul beasts, including our Demon Soul Great White Shark, the Evil Demon Killer Whale and the Deep Sea Demon Whale. Among them, the Deep Sea Demon Whale is the strongest, followed by the Evil Demon Killer Whale, and finally our Demon Soul Great White Shark."

"The evil killer whales are a very bloodthirsty sea soul beast. They exist as a race and live in groups. Each group has about 300 to 500 soul beasts. Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is unwilling to provoke them easily. The evil killer whales are extremely bloodthirsty. Even when they don't need food, they will kill weak soul beasts. Therefore, there are basically no other soul beasts in their territory."

Niu Meng was surprised and said, "The evil killer whale is so powerful that even the deep-sea devil whale king dares not provoke it? We heard in Hanhai City that there is a devil whale sea area on the sea, and no ship dares to enter it."

Xiao Bai shook his head: "That is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the most powerful soul beast in the sea. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is too lazy and doesn't like to swim. Otherwise, I'm afraid the entire group of evil killer whales would not be a match for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

"Is this Deep Sea Demon Whale King so powerful?"

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is indeed very powerful. One of its blind eyes was stabbed by the Sea God. In the sea, it is almost invincible."

Xiao Bai seemed to have thought of something, but was diverted by the reckless Niu Meng. He returned to the main topic and couldn't help but give Niu Meng a blank look: "Adult evil killer whales are 20 to 25 meters long. They have strong bodies, sharp teeth and powerful skills. One evil killer whale is enough to fight two adult members of our tribe. The total number of evil killer whales is about 300, and there are about 200 adults."

Niu Meng quickly asked: "What level of strength does an adult evil killer whale have compared to a human?"

Xiaobai thought for a while, "Evil Demon Killer Whales normally reach adulthood in about 96 years. A 1-year-old evil demon killer whale has the strength of a Soul Saint. An evil demon killer whale over 5 years old has the strength of a Soul Douluo, and an evil demon killer whale over years old has the strength close to a Titled Douluo. The evil demon killer whale king should have the strength of a human Soul Master at level . There are two evil demon killer whales in the group that are over years old, a dozen that are over years old, and the rest are all between and years old."

Everyone swallowed their saliva after hearing this: "Doesn't that mean there are three Title Douluo, ten Soul Douluo, and two hundred Soul Saints?"

Everyone was shocked. With this strength, they were far stronger than the legendary top three sects, especially since they were still in the sea.

Seeing this expression, Yang Podi couldn't help but shook his head: "Don't worry, everyone. Although the soul beasts are strong, they still have some shortcomings. Only soul beasts of the 100,000-year level can reach the intelligence of humans. The intelligence of the rest of the soul beasts is relatively low. Even if they live in groups, they can only be regarded as primitive tribes."
