Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 239 Life-saving grace
Just two months after Yang Xiong and his group arrived at Poseidon Island, their strength improved by leaps and bounds.

Even Yang Xiong couldn't help but marvel at the aptitude of Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu. Although the immortal herbs could enhance their aptitude, they couldn't improve their innate temperament and comprehension.

Feng Xiaotian truly lived up to his reputation as a genius with innate full soul power. Not only was his adaptability exceptionally strong, but he also quickly mastered the method of cultivation within the light of the sea god, even surpassing others.

Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er were not to be outdone. The two girls seemed to be competing with each other, constantly changing the training steps and adapting to higher steps at an extremely fast pace.

Huo Wu's original martial soul was within Yang Xiong's expectations, but Shui Bing'er displayed terrifying talent, especially the Ice Phoenix martial soul, which seemed to be a perfect match for Seagod Island. Under the illumination of the Seagod's Light, the Ice Phoenix seemed to have grown to a certain extent.

Every time Yang Xiong fought Shui Bing'er, he felt that her ice attribute was gradually getting stronger, which in turn enhanced her physical abilities to some extent.

Sure enough, after two months, Shui Bing'er increased her soul power by one level, reaching level sixty. She was the first among everyone present to reach the bottleneck, and even Tang San and his group had not reached the bottleneck.

On the very day Shui Bing'er broke through to level sixty, a figure descended from the sky.

This person was dressed in a red robe and held a scepter in his hand. He was not only extremely beautiful and had a perfect figure, but his whole body was also flawless, as if he were a god.

The purple-robed deacon present immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, High Priest."

Yang Xiong and the others quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Sea God Douluo."

The newcomer was none other than Poseidon, one of the three Limit Douluos in the world, and perhaps the strongest among them.

Poseidon nodded slightly: "No need for formalities. I am Poseidon, also known as the Sea God Douluo."

Poseidon glanced at everyone present and said, “You are all very good. Although you are land-based Soul Masters, your aptitude is excellent. Four of you have even passed the Red-level assessment. You are my successors and the hope of Seagod Island. I hope you will work hard to cultivate and meet the expectations of Lord Seagod as soon as possible.”

Even the extremely arrogant Dai Mubai and Feng Xiaotian showed utmost respect when facing Poseidon. In this world, the strong are respected, and Poseidon is the strongest person on the Douluo Continent.

Poseidon's face seemed expressionless, as if she were a god, inviolable.

"I came here for this young lady. According to the rules of Seagod Island, when all Black-level examinees encounter a bottleneck for the first time, Lord Seagod will bestow a divine soul ring upon them."

The group looked at each other, bewildered, not knowing what a divinely bestowed soul ring was, or even having heard of it before.

Poseidon continued to explain: "God-given spirit rings do not require you to hunt spirit beasts. They will grant you the spirit skills you need most and the spirit rings of the highest level you can withstand. From now on, each of you will have a chance. I hope you will use your greatest perseverance to endure the baptism of the God-given spirit rings. Perhaps they will bring you benefits beyond your wildest imagination."

As Poseidon finished speaking, a small golden ball appeared in his hand. The ball looked incredibly dazzling, and its interior seemed to be surging with waves.

Guided by Poseidon, the divinely bestowed soul ring swiftly arrived beside Shui Bing'er. With a flick of Poseidon's finger, the soul ring shattered, and a rich golden aura enveloped Shui Bing'er's body.

Although Shui Bing'er was a little confused, she quickly sat down cross-legged and summoned her martial soul and soul rings.

A golden light enveloped Shui Bing'er, and countless golden energies rushed into her body. Shui Bing'er's face appeared to be in extreme pain, as if she were on the verge of collapse.

But at this moment, Shui Bing'er displayed a resilience far beyond that of ordinary people. The huge ice phoenix let out a cry, showing its indomitable spirit and tenacity.

After several hours, the golden light on Shui Bing'er's body gradually disappeared, replaced by a black soul ring. The ice phoenix let out another cry, and Shui Bing'er's entire body was covered in frost, and even the surrounding dozens of meters seemed to be frozen.

When Shui Bing'er opened her eyes again, her face was filled with joy. Clearly, this divinely bestowed soul ring had greatly enhanced her, and even greatly improved her martial soul.

Shui Bing'er quickly bowed to Poseidon: "Thank you for your kindness, senior."

Poseidon nodded slightly: "As an examiner of the seventh level of the Red Rank, your examination is more difficult than others, so I hope you will not forget your original intention and reach the higher realm of Soul Master as soon as possible."

After saying this, Poseidon left the place and walked step by step toward the Temple of Poseidon.

Several girls quickly surrounded Shui Bing'er, seemingly carefully observing her changes, and all of them were very envious.

……

The second person to break through the bottleneck was Huo Wu. Just one month after Shui Bing'er broke through, Huo Wu broke through to level 60.

Under the light of the Sea God, Huo Wu's original spirit displayed extremely strong resilience, and Huo Wu herself appeared to be working incredibly hard, with her original spirit also showing extremely strong resilience.

After Huo Wu also absorbed a divinely bestowed soul ring, her soul power was basically on par with Shui Bing'er's.

The two little girls seemed to be locked in a fierce competition, their cultivation speeds nearly identical. Every time Shui Bing'er broke through a level, Huo Wu would only need a month at most to break through as well. Even Yang Xiong found it a bit strange; Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix seemed even more powerful than he had imagined, especially her sensitivity to the Light of the Sea God, which was stronger than anyone else's.

Time flies, and eight months have passed in no time.

In other words, Yang Xiong and his group had been on Poseidon Island for a full eleven months.

In these eleven months, Yang Xiong's soul power increased by five levels, reaching the bottleneck of level eighty.

However, when facing Poseidon, Yang Xiong directly asked her, "Senior, can I not absorb the divine soul ring for now? I want to absorb it when my physical strength has become stronger."

Poseidon's expression changed slightly. She knew very well how strong Yang Xiong's physical abilities were. His eighth spirit ring could definitely reach the level of 100,000 years. Moreover, according to what Yang Xiong said, he probably also knew the content of the next few trials on Seagod Island.

Finally, Poseidon nodded: "Yes, the Sea God has decreed that you can absorb this divinely bestowed soul ring at any time, without any time limit."

However, when Poseidon left, a hint of something deeper seemed to appear in his eyes as he looked at Yang Xiong.

After a full year of training under the light of the Sea God, Tang San and his group all experienced significant improvements.

In terms of soul power level alone, each person increased their soul power by about six levels on average.

Tang San increased his soul power from level 63 to level 69, a full six levels higher, but he still did not hit a bottleneck.

Xiao Wu also increased her soul power by six levels, reaching level sixty-eight.

Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan all reached their bottlenecks and their soul power reached level 60 during this period.

After absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring, Dai Mubai's soul power reached level 64, Yu Tianheng's reached level 63, and Dugu Yan's reached level 61.

Zhu Zhuqing did not reach the bottleneck, but her soul power level increased to level fifty-nine.

But for them, the biggest problem is not the improvement of soul power or the divinely bestowed soul rings, but the assessment.

Even though their soul power and physical fitness have greatly improved over the past year, the assessment is still very difficult for them, especially for Zhu Zhuqing, a Soul King. With her own strength, she simply cannot pass the assessment of the Sea God's Light.

Fortunately, Oscar and Ning Rongrong also arrived at Poseidon Island, and with their help, it was possible to complete the assessment.

Tang San and Xiao Wu passed the test based on their own strength. Not only were they physically outstanding, but they also had excellent comprehension. They barely managed to pass the first test of the Sea God after giving it their all.

The other four are all at the fourth level of the Black Level, and it is virtually impossible for them to pass through the ninety-eight steps on their own.

However, with the help of Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, and with each of them carrying Oscar's Super Recovery Sausage and Excitement Pink Sausage, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan were able to pass the test.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, she was the most troublesome of all. In addition to the Super Recovery Sausage and the Excitement Pink Sausage, Oscar specially used his fifth soul skill to make a super-limit dark green sausage. With Ning Rongrong's full assistance, Zhu Zhuqing was able to pass the test.

After receiving help from Oscar and Ning Rongrong, the four were extremely grateful to both of them, especially the girls, who seemed to have become even closer to Ning Rongrong.

Even Dai Mubai, who had always had a bit of a strained relationship with Ning Rongrong, sincerely expressed his gratitude.

If it weren't for Ning Rongrong and Oscar, these four people would probably have lost their lives. They could never repay the life-saving grace.

Yang Xiong met Ma Hongjun several times during that year. Ma Hongjun had only passed the third level of the Purple Rank Exam, which was relatively easier.

Ma Hongjun spends most of his time in Seahorse City and is now a deacon under Seahorse Douluo.

Poseidon Island doesn't seem to reject fire-attribute soul masters. With the help of Seahorse Douluo and others, they actually helped Ma Hongjun obtain a fire-attribute soul ring in a volcano at sea.

In particular, Ma Hongjun's evil fire was actually suppressed to some extent on Poseidon Island, and he lost a lot of weight.

Dai Mubai also thanked Yang Xiong separately, because if Yang Xiong hadn't brought Oscar and Ning Rongrong over, they would all be dead.

Dai Mubai even joked that if one day he had traveled enough outside and didn't want to return to the cold Star Luo Empire, he might want to join Yang Xiong and the Body Sect, and then leave an elder position for him and Zhu Zhuqing.

Yang Xiong: ...
