Chapter 238 The Light of the Sea God
After everyone had finished climbing, although they were all heavy-hearted, they also became very serious.

The trial of the Light of the Sea God is much more difficult than everyone imagined. Right now, everyone is using all their strength and can only climb half of the steps. The rest will only be stronger and more difficult.

In contrast, Tang San and his group were even more surprised. They had been cultivating here for three whole months. Although their soul power and physical fitness had improved to some extent, they never expected that Ning Rongrong and the others could climb so high. In fact, several of them had surpassed Tang San and Xiao Wu.

It's worth noting that Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Qin Shuang were all substitutes in the team before, and their soul power levels were always the lowest. However, after the changes in the past five or six years, not only have their physical qualities far surpassed theirs, but their soul power levels have also surpassed theirs in every aspect.

Even the usually proud Tang San and Dai Mubai were now filled with self-doubt.

It's worth noting that Dai Mubai was Oscar's older brother back then. Before Yang Xiong and others joined Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai was the one who took Oscar to participate in the Soul Master Competition. As a result, Oscar is now much stronger than Dai Mubai in terms of both physical fitness and soul power level, not to mention Ning Rongrong, who was the worst in terms of physical fitness and other aspects back then.

After everyone else had climbed the Stairs of Poseidon's Light, Yang Xiong began to climb alone.

As Yang Xiong walked up the Sea God's Light Staircase, he indeed felt an extremely gentle pressure. This pressure seemed to encompass everything, and its level and scope were extremely high. It was even said that the Sea God's Light could purify a person's body and soul.

However, Yang Xiong didn't think about that for the time being and slowly walked up the steps.

For Yang Xiong, the first hundred steps were not too much of a challenge, but the pressure began to increase gradually after he reached the hundredth step.

But Yang Xiong sped up instead, sprinting all the way up to the 250 steps.

After reaching the 250th step, the pressure became immense, essentially reaching the limit of a normal Soul Saint.

At this moment, Yang Xiong summoned his martial soul and spirit rings. In particular, when the two blood-red spirit rings were revealed, not only Tang San and his group, but also the people on Seagod Island who saw them were extremely surprised.

At this moment, Yang Xiong climbed up step by step under pressure. Although each step was a heavy burden, it was still within Yang Xiong's capacity to bear.

When they reached the 350th step, the pressure had already surpassed that of a Soul Douluo, and even top-tier Soul Douluo masters could not overcome it.

At that moment, all of Yang Xiong's soul bones were revealed, especially the soul bone attached to the Xuanming Armor, which looked like armor and tightly protected Yang Xiong's torso.

Despite the pressure, Yang Xiong continued climbing, and by the time he reached the four hundredth step, he had basically reached his physical limit.

Yang Xiong was not afraid at all. Although multiple soul rings flashed on his body at the same time, he used the third soul skill Tyrannosaurus Fury and the fourth soul skill Dragon Elephant Body at the same time. His muscles swelled up and his height grew to nearly three meters, making him look like a towering giant.

With each step Yang Xiong took, the pressure seemed to increase several times over, and his bones even began to crack.

Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, his seventh soul ring flashed, and he used his seventh soul skill: Asura True Body.

At the same time, it emitted endless red light, which was the killing domain.

After using the Killing Domain and Asura True Body, the blood-red light clashed with the golden light of the sea god, and the pressure on Yang Xiong seemed to be relieved a lot.

Yang Xiong also pushed his amplification to the limit, using all his strength to continue climbing higher up the stairs.

By the time Yang Xiong reached the 530 steps, he had exhausted almost all his abilities. He felt as if he were under immense pressure, with every inch of his skin and every bone on his body experiencing the ultimate stress.

Finally, Yang Xiong gritted his teeth and slowly withdrew from the light of the sea god.

At this moment, whether it was Tang San and his group or Ning Rongrong and the others, they all looked at Yang Xiong as if he were a monster.

Although they had always known that Yang Xiong was strong, they never imagined that he could be this strong. Five hundred and thirty steps was something that no one could even comprehend.

In the shadows, when Yang Xiong revealed his martial soul and soul rings, almost the entire Seagod Island was watching his climb.

Whether it's Yang Xiong's spirit ring configuration or his terrifying physical abilities, being able to climb a full 530 steps is something many titled Douluo can't do, and even the Sea God Douluo Poseidon was full of praise.

However, Poseidon was also a little puzzled. In terms of talent and physical ability, Yang Xiong had far surpassed himself back then, so how could the assessment be the same as his?

After resting for a while, Yang Xiong immediately addressed the group: "You should all be aware of the difficulty of the first test on Seagod Island. Not to mention you, even I would not have been able to pass the test if I didn't give it my all. So for the next year, you must do your best to cultivate for your own lives."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

According to Yang Xiong's estimation, among his eight people, the one who would truly face the most difficult test was Shui Bing'er. Shui Bing'er was at the seventh level of the Red Rank, which required climbing 136 steps, and Shui Bing'er was only a Soul King at the moment.

As for his only disciple, Huo Wu, although it also presents a certain level of difficulty, due to the unique nature of her original martial soul, she is likely to be the one who will improve the most in the Sea God's assessment.

Following Yang Xiong's instructions, everyone practiced on their assigned steps, and each day they had to climb them with all their might, trying to reach their limits.

After rigorous training, followed by medicinal baths and other treatments, the body's improvement can reach its peak. Moreover, according to Yang Xiong's plan, the training and medicinal baths are basically conducted using the same methods he used to refine his body. Only when one is completely exhausted can the medicinal baths reach their maximum effect.

In particular, the Light of the Sea God is unique and has extremely strong inclusiveness. It will not cause harm to the body and can be said to be the strongest simulated environment in the world. Under such circumstances, body tempering can make people stronger.

After everyone found their proper place, they all began to calm down and cultivate themselves seriously, without taking a break at all.

Of course, in addition to cultivation, Yang Xiong also set up an extra training program for everyone, which was that they had to fight Yang Xiong once a week.

During each fight, Yang Xiong would severely injure everyone, but he would control the damage, mainly injuring their muscles and bones. After being severely injured, they would take Oscar's super recovery sausage to recover as quickly as possible.

Only through repeated struggles and hardships can the body truly become stronger.

……

In the following period, everyone discovered the effects of this cultivation. Under the light of the sea god, the cultivation speed was several times faster than before.

Of course, among all the people, Yang Xiong was most concerned about Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er. They were both Soul Kings, but the assessment was the most difficult, and they were under the most pressure among all the people.

Although Shui Bing'er was exceptionally gentle, she also had a very strong personality and seemed to possess a certain resilience that made her no less than the boys.

Yang Xiong cared more about his only apprentice, Huo Wu, than anyone else, and devoted more effort to her.

Since Yang Xiong took Huo Wu as his disciple, Huo Wu seems to have become even more arrogant, and even her romantic tendencies have diminished. In her eyes, the most important thing is the inheritance of the Body Sect, and even Feng Xiaotian has been somewhat neglected.

That day, Huo Wu found Yang Xiong, and looked a little confused.

Yang Xiong was a little puzzled: "Huo Wu, is it because of the pressure of the assessment? You seem a little off."

Huo Wu shook her head: "Teacher, am I a failure? I am your only disciple, but among everyone, my soul power level is the lowest, and the ladder I have climbed is also the lowest."

Yang Xiong's expression was serious: "Huo Wu, why do you think that way? If it's really just about talent, why are you at the sixth level of the Black Rank, while Yang Wei and Qin Shuang are at the fourth level? If it's just about soul power, then I might as well take Feng Xiaotian as my disciple. Maybe he can break through to the Title Douluo level faster."

Huo Wu said helplessly, "Teacher, I just feel pressured and I can't see the road ahead clearly."

Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head: "Huo Wu, do you know why I took you as my disciple?"

Huo Wu looked puzzled: "Teacher, isn't it because I have a rare true form martial soul?"

Yang Xiong sneered: "Do you think I'm that shallow? Martial spirit is only a part of a soul master. What truly matters in cultivation is the soul master himself."

"You are extremely proud, even arrogant. Where did that defiant and unwilling-to-lose expression go during the Soul Master Competition?"

“In my eyes, you are proud, confident, and even fearless of death for victory and advancement. This is the real you, the thing that is in your bones, not the weaker version you have now.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Wu gradually became serious: "Teacher, I understand. I must become stronger, even stronger than Feng Xiaotian."

Yang Xiong shook his head: "Why do you only have eyes for Feng Xiaotian? Your talent is better than you think. Your original martial soul is one in a million, the greatest gift bestowed upon us by heaven."

"The strongest aspect of the original spirit is not its adaptability and compatibility, nor its more perfect fusion of body and spirit, but its unique resilience."

"Since the martial soul is our body, everyone has their own capacity to withstand it. However, as one's willpower grows stronger, as one perseveres and works hard, and as one makes unyielding progress, the original martial soul can grow stronger without limit, and may even eventually rival a god-level martial soul."

"I call this a second awakening. When you absorbed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower last time, I thought you would have a second awakening. However, although your strength has increased, it is still much weaker than I expected."

"Poseidon Island is a treasure land. Under the light of Poseidon, you can break through your own strength without limit. This requires you to have a strong will and to endure tremendous hardships. Only in this way can you break through the limits again and again, and eventually, you may have a true second awakening."

Huo Wu was shocked to hear these words. She never expected Yang Xiong to value her so much, and she never expected that her original martial soul was even more powerful than she had imagined.

"Teacher, I understand. I will definitely work hard to break through my limits and reach the Title Douluo level as soon as possible."

Yang Xiong shook his head: "Huo Wu, you still underestimate yourself. If I only wanted to train an ordinary Title Douluo, there would be no need for me to take you as my disciple."

"I hope that the Body Sect I created will stand for ten thousand years. What it needs is not ordinary Title Douluos, but truly peerless masters. With your extraordinary talent, the special nature of your martial soul, and your unruly personality, I hope that you can reach the level of a 98-level Title Douluo in the future, or even the legendary level 99 Limit Douluo. Only then can the Body Sect truly stand firm."

"Now is a time of great struggle. The Spirit Hall is about to truly conquer the world. Only the truly strong can survive. I hope you will become a strong one, and I hope that after me, you can truly lead the Body Sect and rule the world."
