Chapter 245 Tidal Body Refining
Just as everyone was filled with doubt, a voice came from afar.

"You will soon find out what the Tidal Body Refinement is; I will personally oversee this stage."

Poseidon, dressed in red, appeared before the crowd, looking more solemn than ever before, with a different feeling in her eyes. Yang Xiong felt that Poseidon was watching him intentionally or unintentionally.

After saying this, Poseidon led the group directly in the opposite direction from Poseidon Mountain. Although the speed was not fast, the rhythm was very well controlled, and even each step seemed very light.

Seeing Poseidon in this state, everyone rushed to follow her, and they all had to exert all their strength to keep up.

The group walked for more than two hours, passing through forests, climbing hills, and even seeing the other seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island. It can be said that this round trip gave them a basic understanding of the general situation of Poseidon Island.

Poseidon Island is a huge island, with a diameter of more than 400 kilometers. It is like a unique continent with virtually every type of terrain.

Just then, everyone seemed to hear a booming sound, like waves crashing on the beach, but many times more shocking than ordinary waves. The rolling thunder was awe-inspiring, as if one's soul was about to be struck.

Yang Xiong had an extremely keen sense of perception; the sound seemed to contain some kind of special spiritual power, making it deafening.

Led by Poseidon, the group arrived at a mountain peak that was a hundred meters high. The entire mountain was pitch black and barren, as if it were composed entirely of some kind of special rock.

When Yang Xiong and his group reached the summit, the scene before them was incredibly awe-inspiring.

Before my eyes was a huge valley, which was circular with a gap through which boundless seawater poured in.

The entire valley is made of black stone, which looks extremely hard.

After the seawater rushed into the valley through the gap, the originally calm seawater became like a raging torrent, desperately crashing against the rock walls of the valley. The highest waves reached hundreds of meters high, and the waves kept coming one after another. Between the waves, one could feel the vastness of the sea and the majestic power of the heavens.

The endless roar was even more awe-inspiring, as if nothing in the world could hide in these waves. Yang Xiong and the others felt incredibly small at this moment, facing these waves was like facing an endless sea.

Poseidon began by introducing, "This is the location of your third test: the Raging Tide Abyss, which is also one of the wonders of Seagod Island. Even the most powerful sea spirit beasts in the world would not venture here. Do you know how the Raging Tide Abyss was formed?"

When Poseidon finished speaking, she looked at Tang San alone, her gaze seemingly holding some profound meaning.

Tang San quickly asked, "Senior, could this valley have been formed by the crashing of ocean waves?"

Poseidon said calmly, "You guessed right. The entire valley was formed by the crashing of the waves. Under the endless waves, the rocks were compressed over countless hours, making them not only harder than refined iron but also extremely dense, which is unique to Poseidon Island."

Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled, "Senior, what are the contents of our assessment?"

Poseidon ignored Tang San and nine spirit rings appeared on her body in an instant, while a bright blue spirit phantom appeared behind her.

This martial spirit looks extremely tall and majestic, as if it possesses boundless power, as vast as the ocean, and its aura is like that of a god.

This is the Sea God Martial Soul, one of only two god-level Martial Souls in the world. Poseidon's Sea God Martial Soul and Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul are basically of the same quality, making them the most outstanding Martial Souls in history and one of the very few Martial Souls with a talent domain.

At this moment, Poseidon was like a god, with nine spirit rings shining on his body. The spirit rings were eight black and one red, a configuration that was unprecedented, and the people around him were also amazed.

At the same time, Poseidon emitted a blue light that instantly illuminated the entire Raging Waves Wasteland. The Raging Waves Wasteland, which had been raging with stormy waves, became eerily calm.

Yang Xiong felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this. This was not just a matter of the martial soul having its own domain; it was more like Poseidon herself had become one with the sea and was able to wield its power.

At that moment, thirteen enormous pillars emerged from the sea, each over fifty meters high and about one meter in diameter, with a small cross at the top of each pillar, upon which were five small rings.

Whether it was Yang Xiong or the others, they all seemed to be shocked by Poseidon's power. Such thick pillars, made of special metal, must be incredibly heavy, let alone supporting thirteen pillars at the same time.

Poseidon, however, appeared unusually calm: "This is where you will be tested. Black level four tests take six hours, black level six tests take eight hours, red level seven tests take nine hours, and red level eight tests take fourteen hours. You can shorten the time in the early stages of the test, but from now on, for the next 365 days, the average time spent in the Silver Pillar must be as I just mentioned, otherwise, you will fail the test."

Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard. Now they finally understood the meaning of the so-called Tide Body Refinement. It actually involved standing on Chen Yinzhu and enduring the impact of the waves.

Poseidon continued, "Everyone's assessment is the same, so the positions are not fixed. However, Yang Xiong is undergoing double Tidal Body Refinement, so your position is separate."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiong immediately looked towards the sea. Sure enough, among the thirteen sunken silver pillars, one stood out a bit too far forward, and it seemed as if it had been arranged in advance. Yang Xiong and his group of eight were together, while Tang San and his group of six were closer together.

Before anyone could say anything, blue light instantly enveloped everyone around them. Everyone seemed to be completely out of control, flying rapidly towards a heavy silver pillar. Even Yang Xiong was incredibly surprised; in that instant, his martial spirit seemed to have been completely suppressed, leaving him utterly powerless to resist. Before Yang Xiong could react, five rings on the heavy silver pillar bound his body, securing him to his waist and limbs, rendering him completely immobile.

Especially at this moment, his entire martial soul and soul rings seemed to be completely controlled, and even his soul bone skills could not be used, which made Yang Xiong feel as if he had returned to the City of Slaughter.

The situation of the others was exactly the same as Yang Xiong's; all of them had their martial spirit, soul ring, and soul bone skills suppressed, like lambs to the slaughter.

Just then, the sea, which had been calm, became turbulent again, especially with towering waves that seemed to threaten to engulf everyone.

The crowd's eyes were filled with terror, as if they were facing a vast ocean or a giant beast.

A giant wave, over fifty meters high, crashed directly onto Yang Xiong, then onto the others.

Facing the towering waves, everyone felt the air around them was being dispersed, making it almost suffocating, and it even felt like their entire bodies were being battered by the waves.

Despite the pain, the initial feeling of suffocation gradually disappeared, and everyone was still shaken. If it were just based on the intensity of this one wave, perhaps this test wouldn't have been so difficult.

However, before everyone could react, a second wave crashed over them, pounding against their bodies once more on top of the initial spray.

After being continuously battered by the waves, the impact seemed endless. Everyone was soaked from head to toe, even their hair was wet, as if they were constantly drowning. But the waves also gave them time to catch their breath.

As time went on, everyone began to feel the terror of this test and the extreme physical pain.

Almost everyone present was a Soul Saint or a few Soul Emperors, all of whom could be considered mid-level Soul Masters with considerable strength.

But with each crashing wave, especially with the continuous impact of wave after wave, it seemed to affect not only everyone's body, but also their soul.

In particular, the waves seemed to possess some special energy, able to penetrate the skin and gradually impact everyone's muscles, meridians, bones, and even bone marrow.

After countless impacts, he seemed to become somewhat numb. In particular, during each impact, his body felt like it was being struck by a master, and his soul power was being consumed at an extremely rapid pace.

After a series of attacks, everyone's soul power was exhausted, and they could only rely on their bodies to resist. Their originally numb bodies gradually became more painful, as if they were being tortured in hell.

Yang Xiong was very familiar with this feeling. Every time he practiced body tempering and broke through his limits, he felt this kind of pain that penetrated deep into his bones.

……

As the tidal body tempering progressed, everyone present experienced increasing pain.

Among Yang Xiong's eight people, Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er were the first to succumb to the pressure. Both of them were top-tier Soul Emperors, and their physical attributes were much worse than those of Soul Saints. Not to mention that neither of them possessed any top-tier Soul Bones.

In contrast, although Oscar and Ning Rongrong are only support characters, they both have high soul power levels and are top-tier Soul Saints. They possess multiple soul bones, especially the crucial torso soul bone, making their physical attributes comparable to battle soul masters.

As for the eldest brother Yang Wei, Qin Shuang, and Feng Xiaotian, all three of them have pretty good physical attributes. Yang Wei also has multiple soul bones, so even though he is a weapon soul master, his physical strength is no worse than that of a beast soul master.

Both Feng Xiaotian and Qin Shuang possess top-tier beast martial souls and are even Soul Saints; they are both giving it their all to persevere.

In contrast, Tang San and his group of six are in a more troublesome situation. Among them are four Soul Emperors, and even Tang San and Xiao Wu's physical abilities may not be as good as Ning Rongrong and the others.

As time went on, no matter how strong-willed and proud Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan were, they were the first to succumb to the pain and gradually fainted.

After that, Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er also gradually fainted.

Next came everyone else, even the physically strongest Tang San, Qin Shuang, and Yang Wei, who gradually fainted under the relentless crashing of the waves.

Among Yang Xiong's group of eight, apart from Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, the others are all Soul Saints. However, among these seven, Qin Shuang and Yang Wei have the best physical attributes. Qin Shuang not only possesses the Mighty Vajra Bear, a power-type martial soul, but also has a soul bone.

Yang Wei is also a Soul Master, and he possesses three excellent Soul Bones, making him almost the person with the most Soul Bones among all the players.

Yang Xiong was the only one still persevering in the raging torrents, and he seemed to be getting more and more excited and even more determined.
