Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 243 Changing Thoughts

Time flew by, and soon Yang Xiong and his group had spent a full nine months on the circular island. Everyone's strength had improved to some extent, but their cultivation speed was much slower than under the light of the sea god.

Under the light of the sea god, everyone's soul power increased by an average of five or six levels, not to mention their physical fitness improved significantly.

However, during their time in the Ring Sea, Tang San and his group generally increased their soul power by two levels.

In comparison, Yang Xiong and his group also increased their soul power by about two levels. Even Qin Shuang absorbed the divine soul ring, and her soul power reached level seventy-two.

The most troublesome one is Huo Wu. Her soul power has reached level 70, but unfortunately, because she has already absorbed the divine soul ring, she has no time to obtain a new soul ring due to the assessment.

At Yang Xiong's request, everyone's ability to fight in the water has greatly improved. Even Huo Wu has fully adapted to fighting in the water. Although seawater has a certain suppression effect on the Huo Ying Martial Soul, she can still exert 80% of her strength.

However, the biggest problem facing Tang San and his group right now is not improving their soul power, but how the six of them can pass the test.

Tang San and his group had tried countless times, but there was simply no way to get through the Ring Sea, let alone compare it to the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark.

Tang San is only level 73 now, while Xiao Wu has reached level 72 after absorbing a divinely bestowed soul ring. These two are the only two Soul Saints among Tang San's group of six.

As a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, Xiao Wu could condense her first six soul rings on her own. However, after reaching level 70, she fully entered the mature stage and became no different from an ordinary soul master. From then on, she would need to absorb soul rings to advance.

Given Xiao Wu's attitude towards 100,000-year-old soul beasts, I wonder if she will ever want to absorb a 100,000-year-old soul ring?

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan are all Soul Emperors. Among them, Zhu Zhuqing broke through to Soul Emperor after receiving a reward in the first stage of the assessment.

Not only were Tang San and his group extremely frustrated, but Ning Rongrong and the others were also very worried. If they failed the test, all six of them would die. The Sea God's test showed no mercy.

Even if Xiao Wu and the 100,000-year-old demon soul great white shark Xiao Bai have a very good relationship, Xiao Bai would never lower the difficulty of the assessment for Xiao Wu. Xiao Bai dares not disrespect the dignity of the Sea God.

Dai Mubai and Yang Xiong had always had a fairly good relationship. At this moment, he looked at Yang Xiong, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and hesitated to speak.

During the first round of assessments, although Oscar and Ning Rongrong were the ones who actually helped, it was all arranged by Yang Xiong.

Now, they've reached the second stage, which seems to be far beyond their combined strength, putting them on the brink of life and death once again.

Even with Oscar and Ning Rongrong assisting Tang San and his group of six, their combined strength wouldn't be enough to pass the Demon Soul Great White Shark's test.

Although Yang Xiong had a slight grudge against Tang San and Xiao Wu because of their past conversation, they could only be considered ordinary classmates. On the other hand, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu had a very good relationship. After a year of training together, the group of girls became even closer.

Looking at Dai Mubai's expression, Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head: "Dai Mubai, we've been classmates for so many years, just say what you want to say."

Dai Mubai's face showed a bitter expression: "Yang Xiong, we were too arrogant. We didn't expect that with our strength and the difficulty of the Sea God's test, we probably wouldn't be able to pass it at all."

Over the past year, Tang San and his companions have also been training diligently and trying to fight Xiao Bai as much as possible in the Ring Sea. Although their underwater combat abilities have improved to some extent, the gap between their strength and Xiao Bai's is still too great. Even when they use the Netherworld White Tiger, it has little effect.

However, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, after being together for so many years, actually created a martial soul fusion skill, which is somewhat similar to the Dragon and Snake Combination Strike of the Dragon Duke and Snake Lady. Unfortunately, the martial soul fusion skill at the Soul Emperor level is not very effective against 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Yang Xiong said helplessly, "Dai Mubai, although this second test is a group assessment where everyone can help each other, what will you do if you encounter individual assessments later on?"

In fact, during this year, Tang San's small team of six had already shown signs of splitting up. Although everyone still admired Tang San's strength, their mentality had subtly changed. At least Tang San could no longer hold an absolute leadership position.

Ning Rongrong suddenly interjected, "Little Bear, I think Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, and Yan Yan are all too pitiful. If you don't help them, they might all die."

"As for Dai Laohu, although he is a womanizer, he has been quite devoted to Zhu Qing over the years, and his personality has changed a lot. Why don't you help them out?"

Hearing this, Dai Mubai looked extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to refute it, after all, these were embarrassing things that happened to him back then.

Yang Xiong looked at Ning Rongrong and the others, and couldn't help but sigh: "Rongrong, the Sea God's test is not that simple. The time and difficulty of each level are carefully designed, and it will not give us the slightest chance to relax. If you help them now, you will lose three months of training time, and the difficulty of the next test will increase a lot. Don't you care about that?"

Ning Rongrong and the others exchanged glances, each seemingly lost in thought. Finally, Ning Rongrong spoke up: "Little Bear, we can pass even the most difficult tests. Xiao Wu and I are sisters after all, so what if it's a little difficult?"

Yang Xiong, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, stood up abruptly: "Very good. Since you all have this kind of awareness, let's pass the test today."

Everyone was overjoyed. They had been struggling with this assessment for some time, and now that Yang Xiong was personally taking the stage, there shouldn't be any problems.

Yang Xiong continued, "Rongrong, Oscar, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, I hope you remember today's decision, as it may change your lives."

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others seemed lost in thought, but unsure what to say, as this concerned their lives.

Next, Ning Rongrong and the others, as well as Tang San's group, all gathered together, making a total of thirteen people.

Based on everyone's situation, including their soul skills, Yang Xiong devised a relatively rigorous tactic.

At Yang Xiong's command, everyone immediately switched from attack mode to enter the sea, quickly summoning their martial spirits and spirit rings.

Apart from Yang Xiong, everyone else had no restrictions on the use of their martial souls and soul skills. Only Tang San and Ning Rongrong had their seventh soul skill restricted.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar immediately provided assistance to everyone, and everyone's strength was greatly enhanced. This was all thanks to Oscar's fourth soul skill: Excited Pink Sausage.

A figure flashed swiftly across the seawater; it was Little White, the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

Xiao Bai roared, "You shameless bastard who indiscriminately slaughters ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, you actually think you can pass my test? Dream on!"

Yang Xiong snorted coldly and, facing the rapidly approaching Demon Soul Great White Shark, threw a punch with all his might.

When the Demon Soul Great White Shark collided with Yang Xiong, Yang Xiong was sent flying several meters away.

Although Yang Xiong and the Demon Soul Great White Shark Little White were no match for each other in the ocean, Little White was faster and more agile in the vast ocean, which was the true advantage of sea spirit beasts over land spirit masters.

Tang San and his companions reacted quickly, and countless Blue Silver Grasses rapidly grew in the sea.

Xiao Bai roared, and a column of water shot into the sky, shattering the Blue Silver Grass and even severely damaging Tang San himself.

Feng Xiaotian, Xiao Wu, Yang Wei, and Qin Shuang immediately used their Martial Soul True Forms. Feng Xiaotian and Qin Shuang, in particular, were extremely powerful and launched a full-force attack on Xiao Bai.

In particular, Feng Xiaotian was extremely fast and directly used his fourth soul skill, Demon Wolf Storm. The huge Gale Demon Wolf formed a tornado in the seawater, which forcefully interrupted the attacking water column.

Qin Shuang, being the strongest in terms of physical attributes, forcefully blocked Xiao Bai's attack with the Mighty King Kong Bear.

Yang Wei's Xuan Tie sword unleashed countless sword energies, seemingly cutting through the seawater.

Even though Xiaobai is very strong and fast, he still has to contend with the full power of so many Soul Saints.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing immediately activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger. The enormous Netherworld White Tiger used all its strength to grab, and the entire water surface seemed to be shattered. The Netherworld White Tiger, at the Soul Emperor level, possessed the attack power of a top-tier Soul Saint.

……

Yang Xiong and his group did not seem to be in a hurry to break through the Ring Sea. Instead, they wanted to fight the Demon Soul Great White Shark Little White with all their might. Both sides basically exerted their strength to the extreme.

However, Xiaobai was incredibly fast in the sea, the fastest among the sea spirit beasts, far exceeding the speed of Yang Xiong and his group.

According to Yang Xiong's plan, instead of desperately trying to break through the Ring Sea, it would be better to fight Xiao Bai with all his might, which might give him a higher chance of winning. Besides, Yang Xiong had killed 100,000-year-old soul beasts before.

Although Xiao Bai is powerful and extremely fast, he doesn't have much of an advantage against Yang Xiong and his group. In particular, Yang Xiong was able to withstand Xiao Bai's attacks head-on, and the two sides were very evenly matched. If it weren't for the restriction on the use of spirit ring skills, Yang Xiong alone could defeat Xiao Bai.

The battle in the sea was extremely fierce, with everyone attacking Xiaobai with all their might. However, the most troublesome thing for Xiaobai was not Yang Xiong, but Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.

In terms of martial spirit, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu are very effective against Xiao Bai. Huo Wu's huge fire shadow makes the temperature of the entire seawater extremely high due to the influence of fire elements, and some of the seawater is directly evaporated. Even some of Xiao Bai's soul skills are restricted.

Shui Bing'er directly condensed water into ice and kept using her first soul skill: Ice Seal. Even though Xiao Bai was able to break free from the control of the ice in time, the ice around her greatly restricted her movements, making her less agile.

Seeing the two sides fighting fiercely, the situation in the sea gradually changed, turning into a situation where everyone surrounded and attacked Xiaobai. No matter how powerful the 100,000-year-old soul beast was, it was now under control everywhere.

Moreover, Yang Xiong intentionally or unintentionally controlled the battlefield to gradually shift to the other side of the ring sea, and the distance to breaking through the ring sea gradually became closer.

Just then, Xiaobai seemed to realize that something was wrong with her surroundings. If things continued like this, she would be extremely humiliated, while Yang Xiong and his group would easily pass the test.

"You humans, how dare you scheme against me! I'll show you my true strength."

A peculiar light emanated from Xiao Bai's body. Under its illumination, Xiao Bai seemed to merge with the entire sea surface, causing the seawater to surge and relentlessly attack Yang Xiong and his group. This was Xiao Bai's Demon Shark Domain.
