Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 236 Tang San and the Others' Predicament

After Yang Xiong and the others confirmed the assessment content, they were warmly received by Seahorse Douluo. After all, there were three Red-level assessors in this group, especially the last Red-level Eighth Assessment Examiner, whose probability of passing the assessment was very high.

After getting to know Yang Xiong, especially after experiencing his extraordinary physical abilities and Title Douluo-level strength, Seahorse Douluo realized that even as a land-based Soul Master, passing the test wouldn't be that difficult.

Of course, after communicating with Seahorse Douluo, Yang Xiong and the others roughly understood the situation of Seagod Island, and also understood the situation of Tang San and his group.

Tang San and his group arrived at Seagod Island about three months earlier than Yang Xiong, and they looked quite disheveled at the time.

……

About four months ago, Tang San organized a group of people to set off from Heaven Dou City, preparing to go to Seagod Island for training.

This group consisted of seven people, including Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ma Hongjun.

In addition to the original five members of Shrek Academy, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were added to the group.

Yu Tianheng's family was wiped out, and he harbored a deep hatred for the annihilation of his clan. However, he was only at the Soul King level at the moment and could not affect the overall situation at all. He could only follow Dugu Yan to cultivate at Dugu Bo's house.

At this moment, eager for revenge, after hearing Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's introduction, he resolutely decided to go to Seagod Island with Tang San. It might be full of danger, but it was also the best way for him to improve his strength.

As Yu Tianheng's girlfriend, Dugu Yan also accompanied him to Poseidon Island.

However, in terms of strength, Tang San and his group are far inferior to the Shrek Seven Devils in the original novel.

When Tang San was preparing to go to Seagod Island, he was only level 63, and Xiao Wu was level 62. Apart from the two of them, there was no other Soul Emperor.

Yu Tianheng was at level 56 and Dugu Yan was at level 55. Although their strength was among the best of their peers, it could only be described as average.

Dai Mubai was level 57, Zhu Zhuqing was level 53, and Ma Hongjun was only level 49.

In terms of strength, almost everyone can reach the Soul King level before the age of twenty-five, which is much stronger than the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. However, if they cultivate normally, even Dai Mubai would probably find it difficult to break through to the Soul Emperor level before the age of twenty-five.

After making various preparations, Tang San and his group left Heaven Dou City by carriage.

Fate and misfortune were remarkably similar; Tang San and his companions encountered the same group of wolf bandits from the original story. With their combined strength, the seven of them quickly eliminated all the wolf bandits and even gained some spoils.

Moreover, they also obtained the Dragon Abyss Boat in the City of Vast Ocean.

After overcoming numerous hardships and dangers at sea, the group finally arrived at Poseidon Island.

However, this process is more tortuous, difficult, and dangerous than in the original story.

Although Tang San and his companions were exceptionally talented, they lacked social experience and had no experience at sea, yet they still encountered the same group of pirates from the original story.

Without the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the group was nearly killed on the spot when they encountered the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Fortunately, the Dragon Abyss Boat was extremely fast, and Ma Hongjun was able to fly, so they were able to escape quickly with everyone.

When the group arrived at Poseidon Island, they were all covered in wounds and looked extremely miserable.

However, the group was exceptionally tenacious, insisting on participating in the Seagod Island assessment and joining the island.

The assessment was also conducted by Seahorse Douluo, but the content of the assessment was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Tang San obtained the Red-level Seventh Trial, which was the highest level of assessment among all the participants and the only Red-level assessment.

Xiao Wu obtained the sixth Black-level trial, and her performance of having full innate soul power was indeed impressive, especially since Xiao Wu was one of only two Soul Emperors among everyone.

In comparison, the others are far behind.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing all obtained the fourth Black-level test. All four of them have excellent talent and martial soul. Even Zhu Zhuqing, whose aptitude is slightly worse, has grown very rapidly in recent years. In terms of cultivation talent alone, she has even surpassed Hu Liena.

Ma Hongjun only obtained the third level of the Purple Rank test, making him the only Soul Master among all the participants.

Compared to others, Ma Hongjun came to Poseidon Island more because of Flander's arrangements.

Because of the absence of the Phoenix Sunflower, Ma Hongjun's cultivation speed has slowed down considerably in recent years. Moreover, since leaving the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, without Flander and Yu Xiaogang keeping an eye on him, he has become even more indulgent.

Therefore, although Ma Hongjun has relied on a certain nobleman and become the son-in-law of the family patriarch over the years, he has not lacked resources.

But the worst part is that no one is in charge, which has led to Ma Hongjun becoming even more obese. In fact, due to excessive indulgence, the negative influence of his "evil fire" is growing stronger and stronger, which may even affect his future.

According to Yu Xiaogang's description, the island of Poseidon is generally populated by water-attribute soul masters, which may be able to suppress Ma Hongjun's evil fire to some extent.

Flander and Ma Hongjun were originally master and disciple, similar to Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, and their relationship was very deep. Ultimately, under Flander's arrangement, Ma Hongjun went to Seagod Island with Tang San and his group for training.

Tang San and his group were initially full of confidence, thinking that the Seagod Island test was nothing special.

However, when they arrived at the Light of the Sea God, they were all dumbfounded.

The group's first attempt to cross the light of the sea god resulted in extremely poor performance, which could even be described as utterly disheartening.

Normally, the fourth Black-level test on Poseidon Island requires passing 98 steps of the Light of Poseidon, the sixth Black-level test requires passing 118 steps of the Light of Poseidon, and the seventh Red-level test requires passing 136 steps of the Light of Poseidon. The difficulty of the test is extremely high.

Of course, Ma Hongjun's purple-level assessment did not qualify him to cross the Sea God's Light, and he was even unable to cultivate under the Sea God's Light.

But after Tang San and his companions tried it out, they were all stunned, and some were even a little scared.

Among everyone, the best performer was not Tang San, but Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu can reach about sixty steps on her own. Although Xiao Wu's martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit, the enhancement of the body by the beast soul far exceeds that of the weapon martial soul. Moreover, Xiao Wu is the only Soul Emperor-level beast martial soul master.

Even with all his might, Tang San could only barely reach fifty-eight steps, and that was with all his methods.

It's important to know that Tang San lacks two domains compared to the original story, namely the Blue Silver Domain and the God of Slaughter Domain, which would have been extremely useful in the fight against the Sea God's Light.

As for the others, they performed even worse.

Dai Mubai climbed to the thirty-third step, while Yu Tianheng reached the thirty-second step.

Dugu Yan climbed to the twenty-eighth step, while Zhu Zhuqing only climbed to the twenty-sixth step.

It's fair to say that everyone's eyes were filled with despair after seeing these results.

Judging from the current situation, only Tang San and Xiao Wu have a chance to complete the assessment; there is no hope for the others.

Especially as you climb higher up the Poseidon's Light staircase, the pressure increases, and a qualitative change may even occur. Just like the difference between a 30-step and a 40-step staircase, which may seem like only 10 steps, the actual difficulty is many times greater.

At this moment, Tang San and his companions looked at each other, seemingly a little confused.

Without the Blue Silver Domain and the Killing God Domain, Tang San was unable to use his domains to help others, nor could he discover any loopholes in the Sea God's Light.

What's more troublesome is that there's no one to assist them, and they can't even cooperate or help each other. To get through the Light of the Sea God, they have to rely entirely on themselves.

Seeing everyone's utter dejection, Tang San summarized his experience cultivating under the waterfall, realizing that under the intense pressure of the Sea God's Light, his cultivation speed was much faster than before.

So, encouraged and analyzed by Tang San, in addition to climbing the steps of the Sea God's Light with all their might every day, everyone also began to cultivate on the steps of the Sea God's Light.

While the cultivation speed has indeed improved, it is still far from meeting everyone's assessment goals.

Although Dai Mubai and his group of five were exceptionally tenacious and hardworking, even after a month of training, they could not make much progress in their climb. Everyone seemed to gradually go from being full of confidence to feeling somewhat desperate.

It's important to understand that for Dai Mubai and his group of six, what they lacked wasn't just a few levels of soul power, but more importantly, the transformative power of immortal herbs.

In the original story, after consuming the immortal herb, not only could people greatly enhance their soul power, but they could also improve their aptitude and even their adaptability.

Another point is that since they did not win the Soul Master Competition, none of them received the Soul Bone reward. In other words, among Tang San and his group of seven, only Tang San has a Soul Bone. The increase in physical strength from a Soul Bone is far beyond what anyone imagined.

Therefore, even though everyone cultivated under the light of the sea god, although their cultivation speed improved to some extent, it was still not satisfactory.

Especially in the eyes of the people on Seagod Island, Tang San and his group of seven were just struggling to survive. A year was simply not enough time for everyone to pass the first test of the Seagod Trial, and by then it would be their death day.

However, Dai Mubai comforted everyone, saying that he had personally invited Yang Xiong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but Yang Xiong was too busy at the time and did not come with everyone.

Yang Xiong also introduced some information about Poseidon Island, and said that he would come after some time, but the specific time was undecided.

If Yang Xiong comes, and if Ning Rongrong and Oscar also come, then we can have the support and boost from Oscar and Ning Rongrong, and perhaps we will have a chance to pass the test.

Tang San felt a little uncomfortable upon hearing this. He had led everyone to Seagod Island for training, but now they were facing mortal danger and needed Yang Xiong and the others to come and rescue them.

It's important to know that Tang San has always been very competitive. He not only believes that he is exceptionally strong, but also that he is the leader of the Shrek Academy team. Back when he was in the Shrek Academy team, he was the one who basically laid out the tactics.

But now, after five years, everything seems to have changed. Not only is the gap in strength between them and Yang Xiong widening, but Yang Xiong also has a behemoth behind him.
