Chapter 237 Ning Rongrong's Eight Spider Soul Bones
Yang Xiong and his eight companions arrived at Haima City to rest, and everyone was quite surprised by the content of their assessment.

Just as Yang Xiong had predicted, all the Black-level fourth trials involved traversing 98 steps of the Sea God's Light, the Black-level sixth trial involved 118 steps, and Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er, who were undergoing the Red-level seventh trial, had to traverse 136 steps.

The only difference is Yang Xiong, who now sees a scene before him: pass through double the light of the sea god, climb 666 steps, and you can quit halfway, with a time limit of one year.

You should know that in the original novel, Tang San's Nine Trials of the Sea God only consisted of 333 steps. How could he only have 666 steps? Moreover, as the steps increase, it will become more and more difficult and painful.

Ning Rongrong was unusually happy at this moment: "Little Bear, my assessment had 136 steps, more than everyone else. Does that prove that my talent is better than everyone else's?"

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, the girls started playfully bickering and seemed quite happy.

A few boys were a bit dissatisfied. Apart from Yang Xiong, the other boys' assessments were relatively low, and none of them even achieved a red-level assessment.

Yang Xiong pinched Ning Rongrong's little face: "Rongrong, the Seagod Island assessment is not that simple. My assessment involves 666 steps. It seems that this assessment is much more difficult than we imagined."

"Don't forget, our assessment is ten times more difficult than that of the Sea Soul Masters. Even the Seahorse Douluo took ten years to complete the assessment. Our assessment will probably be countless times more difficult, and even full of danger."

Everyone seemed thoughtful upon hearing this. After all, when Seahorse Douluo saw the content of their assessment, he showed an extremely pitying expression, as if it were not the Sea God's assessment, but rather a punishment from the Sea God.

Even Ning Rongrong fell silent at this moment. She was only a support Soul Master, and her physical strength was much weaker than that of a Battle Soul Master. It would be even more difficult for her to participate in the assessment independently.

Yang Xiong suddenly became unusually serious: "I said before I came that the Seagod Island assessment is extremely dangerous and difficult, so from today onwards, everyone must be 200% focused and cultivate wholeheartedly without the slightest slack."

"Now that I've brought you out, I'm going to bring you back safe and sound. I hope that when we return, there will still be eight of us, and no one will be injured."

Everyone nodded with unusual seriousness. From this moment on, the real trials and tribulations would begin, and the real suffering would commence.

After resting for only an hour, Yang Xiong found the deacon of Poseidon Island and wanted to begin the first test.

After entering Seahorse City, Seahorse Douluo specially arranged for a purple-robed steward to take care of Yang Xiong and his group, including their living arrangements and various other needs.

The purple-robed deacon asked with unusual curiosity, "You've had a long and arduous journey, and you're heading to the forbidden area so soon? Shouldn't you rest for a few more days?"

Judging from the purple-robed steward's attitude, he seemed to still have a trace of pity for the crowd, while at the same time showing extraordinary respect for the forbidden area.

Yang Xiong said, "Thank you, but let's take a look at the assessment content first."

The purple-robed steward quickly said, "Okay, I'll take you there now. But I advise you to relax and not be so attached. Life and death are determined by fate, so it's better to take it easy."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, unsure how to respond. The purple-robed steward's tone and attitude were somewhat like that of someone on the verge of death.

Following that, Yang Xiong and his group, led by the purple-robed steward, traveled swiftly for a full two hundred kilometers before arriving at a special place.

When the group arrived at the forbidden area, they were greeted by a towering island that seemed to reach into the clouds, completely surrounded by the sea.

At the top of the island stands a building that resembles white jade, radiating golden light. It looks incredibly crystalline and majestic.

There was only one towering staircase leading to the top of the island, where several people were cultivating; it was Tang San and his group.

Ning Rongrong asked, somewhat puzzled, "Senior, is this the forbidden area of ​​Seagod Island?"

The purple-robed deacon nodded: "This is the forbidden area of ​​Seagod Island, and also the Seagod Temple where the Seagod is worshipped. It is the real Seagod Island, also known as an island within an island."

"The staircase leading to Seagod Island is your first test, the staircase to pass through the light of the sea god. There are a total of 1,001 steps. Only black-level or red-level test takers are qualified to climb the steps. If you force your way onto the island, you will be blocked by the light of the sea god."

Everyone looked at the steps, which were like jade. Under the strange light, they looked like colorful ribbons or a ladder to heaven.

Yang Xiong stared intently at the highest point, Poseidon Island, where the legendary deity resided, and where he had always pursued the highest realm of Soul Master.

The purple-robed deacon continued, "Everyone, do not push yourselves too hard during the trials. If you feel any problems, you can leave the sacred mountain immediately. The light of the sea god will not cause you any harm. Among all your trials, the light of the sea god should be relatively safe."

"By the way, there are still quite a few people on the steps. They are land-based soul masters who arrived three months ago and are currently cultivating with all their might. I'm afraid the outcome will be hard to say."

There were indeed seven people on the steps of Seagod Island; it was Tang San and his group.

Seemingly sensing the arrival of Yang Xiong and his group of eight, the six who had been training diligently woke up.

Xiao Wu, in particular, skipped and hopped down the steps, excitedly hugging Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, you're finally here! I've missed you so much!"

Ning Rongrong also touched Xiao Wu's rabbit ears: "Xiao Wu, it's only been a few months, but you seem to have lost a lot of weight."

Xiao Wu said helplessly, "It's still the Seagod Island assessment. We've been training hard lately, and this assessment is just too difficult."

"By the way, Rongrong, what kind of assessment did you take? I took the Black Level Six assessment, which is the most difficult assessment among all of you." Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Xiaowu, I might be a little bit higher than you. I took the Red Level Seven assessment."

Several other girls quickly gathered together, and even Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er joined in the chat. Even the usually aloof Dugu Yan joined their small group of conversations.

Yang Xiong nodded to the boys: "Tang San, Mu Bai, Tian Heng, it's been a long time. It seems that Seagod Island has been a good training ground for you all. You all seem to have gotten quite strong."

Tang San laughed and said, "The assessment on Seagod Island is much more difficult than we imagined. Boss Dai and Tian Heng have been worried about it recently. Fortunately, you came."

Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng's men seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the tension in their eyes seemed to ease somewhat.

After communicating with everyone, Yang Xiong finally understood the current situation. Indeed, the assessment was still quite difficult, especially for Zhu Zhuqing, who had the lowest soul power level. She basically had little hope of passing the assessment.

Yu Tianheng looked at Yang Xiong, whose face seemed unusually conflicted: "Yang Xiong, I heard that the Body Sect you founded is located in Thunder Canyon?"

Yang Xiong nodded: "I'm really sorry, Tianheng. Thunder Canyon is currently unclaimed territory. If your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan rises to power in the future, we can discuss the ownership of Thunder Canyon again."

Yu Tianheng said, "I am not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong. With the strength of my uncle and me, we are simply not capable of occupying Thunder Canyon. However, I will definitely challenge you in the future."

Dai Mubai sighed, "Yang Xiong, thank you for reminding me back then, otherwise we would have been in danger on our way to Poseidon Island."

Following this, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Yang Xiong, Oscar, and others had a conversation and learned about the various encounters they had on their way to Seagod Island. Even Yang Xiong sighed with emotion.

Especially when everyone learned that Yang Xiong's first test involved 666 steps, they all showed unusual sympathy.

After everyone finished talking, Tang San and his group of six prepared to return to the steps to continue their cultivation, while Ning Rongrong and the others also became serious, as they began to understand the difficulty of the assessment.

The sycophantic Feng Xiaotian still took the lead: "Let me try first. I want to see just how difficult the Sea God's Light, which they are so wary of, really is."

As expected, Feng Xiaotian transformed into a giant, two-headed whirlwind wolf and quickly headed towards the Sea God's Light Staircase.

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Feng Xiaotian seemed to feel a force blocking his progress, and this force grew stronger as he climbed the stairs.

Feng Xiaotian roared and used his second soul skill: Twin Wolves Possession. A phantom wolf head immediately appeared next to his head, and his health and various attributes seemed to have been greatly enhanced.

But even though Feng Xiaotian tried every possible method, the pressure increased as he climbed the ladder.

In the end, Feng Xiaotian only climbed to the fifty-fifth step. His soul power was completely exhausted, and he had even used up all his amplification soul skills. Helpless, he stepped down from the Sea God's Light.

Seeing Feng Xiaotian's appearance, everyone finally understood the difficulty of this assessment. It was probably much harder than they had imagined, especially Ning Rongrong, who was only a support-type Soul Master.

However, Yang Xiong was quite surprised by Feng Xiaotian. This guy not only had strong physical attributes and extremely strong combat ability, but his combat talent was indeed the strongest among the people around him.

Sure enough, as each person climbed the Sea God's Light Staircase, even with everyone giving their all, they couldn't achieve very good results.

Qin Shuang and Feng Xiaotian were similar, both reaching the 55th step.

Qin Shuang herself possesses the top-grade strength-type martial soul, the Mighty Vajra Bear. She also received a piece of Hu Yanzhen's strength-type torso soul bone from Yang Xiong. In terms of physical attributes and strength alone, she is definitely one of the stronger soul emperors.

Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu were in a worse situation. Both of them were only top-tier Soul Kings and did not have top-tier Soul Bones. They had only climbed to about forty steps, with Shui Bing'er climbing forty-four steps and Huo Wu climbing only forty-three steps.

Oscar, on the other hand, performed exceptionally well, climbing up to sixty-one steps, which was astonishing. Of course, during this process, Oscar consumed several sausages, including the Super Recovery Sausage, the Limitless Dark Green Sausage, and the Mirror Image Sausage, which can be said to have maximized the effects of the sausages.

Most importantly, Oscar has the most soul bones of all the people. You should know that Oscar currently has three soul bones, including the head soul bone of the Mirror Hidden Beast, the right arm soul bone of the 70,000-year-old White-Eyed Demon Tiger King, and the torso bone of the 100,000-year-old Thousand-Pound Ant King. In terms of the number of soul bones, he has the most besides Yang Xiong.

In particular, the 100,000-year-old ant king's torso and soul bone enhanced physical attributes beyond everyone's imagination.

The eldest brother, Yang Wei, also reached the sixtieth level. Although he possessed the Xuan Tie Sword Martial Soul, his sharp sword energy, powerful body, and the three soul bones he carried made him extremely strong. Moreover, he had already obtained a few sausages from Oscar.

Even Ning Rongrong climbed to the sixtieth step. Ning Rongrong also has three top-grade soul bones, including the right leg soul bone of Ghost Douluo, plus the torso soul bone of the 100,000-year-old Thousand-Pound Ant King.

Especially when Ning Rongrong first revealed the Eight Spider Soul Bones, it was as if eight giant spider spears were stuck in the ground, forcefully supporting her body as she climbed upwards.

Everyone present stared at Ning Rongrong's Eight Spider Soul Bones, their eyes filled with surprise and even envy.

Even Xiao Wu was extremely envious: "Rongrong, your external soul bone seems pretty good. When did you get it?"

Ning Rongrong laughed and said, "I got this when I was using my third soul skill. Back then, Little Bear caught a human-faced demon spider from somewhere. Its age was much higher than my third soul ring. It was very painful when I absorbed it."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed in a variety of ways. They never expected that Yang Xiong could find such a thing for his girlfriend, and judging from the timeline, it must have been when they had just joined the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
