Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 241 The 100,000-Year-Old Demon Soul Great White Shark
At this moment, a voice echoed in Yang Xiong's mind: "Yang Xiong, by relying on your own perseverance, you have broken through your own limits. You have successfully completed the first test of the top eight trials by traversing double the Sea God's Light. Your reward is an increase of one level in soul power and an increase of three thousand years in the age of all your soul rings."

Yang Xiong felt as if a strange power had appeared in his body, and his entire body had become a little stronger. It should be that he had increased his soul power by one level, but the exact increase was not fully manifested.

Especially with the two 100,000-year soul rings, it seems that the power of the soul skills has increased a bit.

Ning Rongrong and the other six had already passed the test and were no longer hindered by the light of the sea god. At this moment, they all came to Yang Xiong's side.

Seeing Yang Xiong's current miserable state, Ning Rongrong felt a pang of sympathy.

"Little Bear, why are you working so hard? Look how miserable you are now."

Yang Xiong laughed and said, "Rongrong, becoming stronger is my lifelong pursuit. I want to rely on my own strength to reach the peak of Soul Master and see the view from the top."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Yang Xiong was already an unattainable figure in their eyes, but now, hearing what he said, it seemed that what they were pursuing was not even on the same level.

Ning Rongrong took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the bloodstains off Yang Xiong's body, seemingly becoming a little cautious.

"Little Bear, I will do everything I can to help you. You will definitely reach the highest level of Soul Master."

The other six all looked serious, as if they understood the meaning of cultivation and struggle even more, and also understood Yang Xiong's goal, and even gradually confirmed their own goal.

……

All eight of Yang Xiong's companions passed the first test of Seagod Island, and their soul power increased by one level.

Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er are both at the seventh level of the Red Trial. In addition to their original first-level soul power, each of them has an additional five hundred years of soul ring lifespan.

Ning Rongrong's spirit rings became one yellow, three purple, and three black, while Shui Bing'er's spirit rings became one yellow, three purple, and two black.

When Yang Xiong passed through the light of the sea god, almost all of the seven sacred pillars were paying attention to his situation. The moment Yang Xiong used the Asura Dharma Form, they only felt a towering giant forcefully shaking the light of the sea god with his own power, reaching an unprecedented height.

Even Poseidon was extremely surprised. When she obtained the Red Level Eight Trial, it was only 228 steps. The last few steps had already caused her great pain.

But Yang Xiong is now much stronger than he was back then. In fact, apart from himself, even the strongest Sea Dragon Douluo on the entire Seagod Island cannot reach Yang Xiong's level.

At that moment, the scene before Yang Xiong's eyes changed. He had only seen the content of the first test of the Red-level Eighth Trial, but the content of the second test also appeared.

"The second test of the top eight trials is to break through the ring blockade. Under the premise of testing a sea spirit beast, it is necessary to break through the ring blockade at sea to reach the other side, and restrict the use of all spirit rings and spirit bone skills."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and then described their own assessments. They were all basically the same, the only difference being that Ning Rongrong was restricted from using her seventh soul skill, while Shui Bing'er, being only a Soul Emperor, was not restricted in her soul skills.

After a day of rest, the group arrived at the assessment location under the guidance of the purple-robed steward.

Surprisingly, Tang San and his group were also there, and they all looked rather serious, seemingly lacking confidence in the assessment.

This marks the first time in three months that the two groups have reunited.

The girls quickly gathered together again, telling each other about the content of the assessment, and they seemed to be in great pain.

When Oscar and the others heard that they were going to face a 100,000-year-old demon soul great white shark, they were all extremely surprised.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast is at the very top of the soul master world. Not only is its strength extremely powerful, but its physical attributes are also exceptionally outstanding. They basically all possess combat power at the level of a Title Douluo.

Not to mention that this 100,000-year-old soul beast is a sea soul beast. Even if multiple titled Douluo came, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat a 100,000-year-old sea soul beast.

Even Feng Xiaotian, who was usually arrogant and confident, was a little stunned at this moment. Although he was conceited, a 100,000-year-old soul beast was simply an unattainable existence for ordinary soul masters.

However, after being encouraged by Huo Wu and Ning Rongrong, Feng Xiaotian confidently jumped into the ring-shaped sea, wanting to test the power of this 100,000-year-old soul beast.

But in just a moment, a huge black figure flashed in the ring-shaped sea, and Feng Xiaotian was thrown out of the sea as if he had been hit hard, crashing into the ground. He looked like he was convulsing and seriously injured.

Seeing Feng Xiaotian's miserable state, everyone's lips twitched. Clearly, this test was much more difficult and dangerous than the first one.

The eldest brother, Yang Wei, also looked a bit serious: "Xiao Xiong, this second trial is probably much more difficult than we imagined, especially since you're restricted from using your soul skills. I'm afraid we're really in trouble."

Just as Yang Wei, the eldest brother, said, Tang San and his group seemed a little lacking in confidence at the moment. After all, these were 100,000-year-old soul beasts, each of which was a legendary existence that many people had never even encountered.

Yang Xiong laughed and said, "Brother, passing the test is not a problem. The real problem is your combat experience. This is Seagod Island."

Yang Wei was a little puzzled, and the others also showed a hint of confusion in their eyes: "What does this have to do with Poseidon Island?" Yang Xiong shook his head: "Brother, the purpose of our trip to Poseidon Island to participate in the assessment is to join Poseidon Island. If we want to truly establish ourselves on Poseidon Island, the underwater battle is the most crucial thing."

"This is just a regular assessment, not a real battle or a life-or-death struggle with the enemy. If you can't even do that, then what's the point of joining Seagod Island? Lord Seagod probably wouldn't allow a Soul Master who can't even fight in the water to join Seagod Island."

Everyone suddenly realized what Yang Xiong meant. As Yang Xiong said, everyone who joined Seagod Island would become a high-ranking member like the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island. In particular, the Red-level examiners would be the successors of the Grand Elder of Seagod Island. If they didn't even know basic combat skills in the sea, then it would be meaningless.

Yang Xiong continued, "The second test is a great challenge. With the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark as a sparring partner, everyone will be able to quickly adapt to underwater combat."

"This time it was just a normal crossing of the ring sea. If next time we encounter ferocious soul beasts in the sea, such as the legendary Deep Sea Demon Whale King, if we can't even master basic naval warfare, then we are not qualified to stand on Seagod Island."

Yang Wei pondered for a moment: "So what should we do now?"

Yang Xiong said solemnly, "In the coming year, in addition to regular training, everyone should spend as much time as possible training in the sea every day to improve their combat skills in the ocean."

"Don't think about the assessment for now. Focus on cultivation and give it your all."

Actually, the second level wasn't too difficult for Yang Xiong. In terms of his physical attributes and strength, he was already no weaker than a so-called 100,000-year-old soul beast. But the real problem was that his group of land-based soul masters were too bad at underwater combat. With their current strength, they probably wouldn't be able to pass the later levels at all.

……

Just then, the sea surface became turbulent, and a dark shadow broke through the surface, transforming into a giant shark that was tens of meters long.

After breaking through the surface of the sea, the shark quickly transformed into a young girl and landed directly on the land.

Xiao Wu seemed unusually happy and quickly walked alongside the little girl, even holding her hands: "Little Bai Bai, how did you get out of the sea?"

The two 100,000-year-old soul beasts looked very friendly. Perhaps it was a rare interaction between 100,000-year-old soul beasts, as it is very rare for them to find their own kind.

Xiao Bai looked at Yang Xiong and his group with unusual arrogance: "Are you the other group of people who are going to participate in the assessment? You look quite ordinary. How come your assessment scores are much higher than Xiao Wu's and the others?"

Xiao Wu quickly introduced, "Xiao Bai, these are all my former classmates. Rongrong is my roommate. You should go easy on her next time."

Xiao Bai stared intently at Yang Xiong and his group: "I am here on the orders of the Sea God to conduct this test for you. Even if you are Xiao Wu's friends, I will not show any mercy. I hope you will do your best to pass the test."

Yang Xiong and his group quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Xiaobai."

Xiao Bai took a close look at everyone, and his gaze suddenly changed, looking at Yang Xiong as if he were an enemy.

"You big bad guy, you actually hunted down 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and you even killed two of them."

Yang Xiong felt a little confused: "Senior Xiaobai, Soul Masters need to improve and cultivate, and they also need to absorb Soul Rings. Hunting Soul Beasts is a normal phenomenon in the Soul Master world, and there's nothing I can do to change that."

Xiao Bai was furious: "Do you even know that 100,000-year-old soul beasts already possess the intelligence of normal humans? What's the difference between killing them and killing people?"

Yang Xiong shook his head: "The rules of the Soul Master world are like this, and neither you nor I can change them. I only want to become stronger and I don't care about anything else."

"Moreover, all the truly top-tier Soul Masters in this world basically possess 100,000-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones, and 100,000-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones are the basic requirements for a Soul Master to reach level 98. I believe that any quasi-Title Douluo would want 100,000-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones, and no Soul Master would be an exception."

Xiao Bai seemed even angrier after hearing this: "You bastard, I won't let you get away with this."

After saying that, Xiaobai threw a punch. It was a full-force attack from a 100,000-year-old soul beast. The air seemed to explode, and the punch seemed to be filled with infinite power.

Yang Xiong also threw a punch with all his might. Both of them used their full strength to strike, and both Yang Xiong and Xiao Bai were pushed back a meter. It seemed that the two were about the same in terms of strength.

Xiao Bai seemed unusually angry, as if he wanted to continue attacking.

Yang Xiong shouted, "Little Bai, I call you senior because you are the examiner of Lord Sea God. Even Lord Sea God cannot change the rules of the Soul Master world, let alone us mortals."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's expression changed, as if he was wary of something. In the end, he let out a cold snort and leaped into the air, transforming into a giant demonic soul great white shark.

"You just wait, the sea is my domain, I won't let you pass the test."

Yang Xiong shook his head as he watched the wandering shadow. Although this little white shark was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, its entire race followed the Sea God, and it had become the Sea God's mount. The Demon Soul Great White Shark race had become the Sea God's vassal, which in a sense could be considered a betrayal of the soul beast race.

Perhaps it was because he betrayed the Soul Beast clan that the Demon Soul Great White Shark was ultimately destroyed by the Soul Beast clan. It is unknown whether this was karmic retribution.
