Chapter 235 An Achievement Beyond Limits: The Seventh Soul Ring of 100,000 Years, Tang San Completely Breaks Through His Defenses
"Sister, behold my Water Flow Rock Shattering Fist!"

"The Raging Waves Break the Dawn!"

In the raging torrents, the tidal body tempering assessment has been underway for over a month.

Dugu Yan, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and other students from Peach Blossom Spring have gradually adapted to the raging waves in their desperate situation. At first, they were overwhelmed by the surging waves, unable to resist them, and were heavily slammed onto the hard rocks, only able to cry out:

"Sister, it hurts!"

"Does it hurt? Just think of it as being ravaged by the teacher, enduring the teacher's thrusts, and it won't hurt so much."

"Huh? It seems that's true. Painful, yet pleasurable."

In just one month, thanks to their transformed and powerful physiques, they had already adapted to the raging waves' attacks.

Shui Yue'er stood on the deep-sea silver pillar. Her feet sank, her martial spirit manifested, and the water between her hands converged at a single point, like a dolphin leaping through the waves.

As the terrifying giant waves, some tens or even hundreds of meters high, crashed down, she decisively pulled back the waves that were blocked by the rocks behind her and threw a punch. A loud explosion erupted from the giant wave, and a hollow ring appeared. When the wave crashed down, Shui Yue'er was only pushed back a few steps by the powerful force, but her body was not even wet by a few drops of water!

Not only Shuiyue'er, but the other students who were undergoing training also performed exceptionally well.

Shui Bing'er transformed into an ice phoenix, wielding a cold, soft palm in her left hand and a heavenly frost fist in her right. Her left palm struck first, turning the green waves into fine, continuous ice. Her right fist followed, shattering the long waves and standing atop the sinking silver pillar, its power undiminished.

With a gentle wave of her slender, jade-like hands, Xue Wu danced on the deep-sea silver pillar. As the ice-type natural disaster struck, a torrential snowflake began to fall from the sky.

Snowflakes fell on the waves and froze into ice, forming a series of interconnected snowflake-shaped ice formations on the sea surface in front of her. As the giant waves crashed against her, the ice slowly crumbled, and by the time it reached her, its power was far less than before.

She then tilted her jade hand, and layers of ice formed a solid ice coffin, enveloping her within. Only a few gentle waves splashed around the sinking silver pillar, but she was not seriously injured.

Shen Liuyu, not to be outdone, wrapped her arms with an ice crocodile:

"Mystic Ice Crocodile Soars!"

A giant crocodile, its entire body radiating ice crystals, emerged from the deep sea, covered in frost, and leaped out from beneath Shen Liuyu's feet, colliding with the surging waves.

Despite the rain of water, Shen Liuyu only took a few steps back, eventually bracing herself against the edge of the silver pillar and successfully breaking through the waves.

Yu Hairou and Gu Qingbo transformed into dark tides and sailfish, merging with the waves, using the technique of gathering power as agility taught by their teacher to roam the world.

It means to regard oneself as part of the giant wave, to swim on the edge of the sinking silver pillar, to move with the force of the giant wave, and to circle around the edge of the sinking silver pillar. It is to say that it borrows the Tai Chi principle from Senior Sister Xiao Wu, the secret of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds!
Holding a Lotus Sea Spear, Qiu Ruoshui stood majestically on the edge of the Silver Pillar, wielding the spear with an imposing presence. The spear propelled the surging waves, drawing the water to converge into a dragon—the Lotus Sea Dragon. With a powerful collision, it created a sky full of spray.

The most terrifying is Meng Yiran, whose movements can cross the Yellow Springs. If she can cross the Yellow Springs, how can she not only cross the roaring waves?

Still and immovable as a mountain, he summoned a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast to form a wall, using only a dark gold snake staff as a guide. At first, he used the hellish artifact—the Demon's Wrath Heaven-Suppressing Finger—to calm the tides with a single touch, only to later realize that this test forbade the use of external weapons.

But the oppressive power of the Demonic Wrath Heaven-Suppressing Finger had already shaken everyone to their core.

[Demon's Wrath Heaven-Suppressing Finger: One of the top hidden weapons among the Three Thousand Hellish Artifacts, and one of the Eighteen Demonic Wrath Artifacts. It uses dark primordial stone as a container and soul-guiding medium. When released, it is like a demon descending from the sky, with the demon's finger pointing in all directions.]

Just as the nine girls from Taoyuan were forging ahead amidst towering waves, improving their strength...

At the very end of the ten heavy silver pillars, the young man was tied to the cross at the very top of the pillar, his body soaked and his hair disheveled, undergoing the tempering of the waves.

If the torment and pain of being swept by the giant waves were merely physical, then for Tang San, seeing the students of Peach Blossom Spring on the first nine heavy silver pillars, each with their own unique strengths and unparalleled charm, was the real torture and a mental nightmare.

Watching them outwit and outmaneuver the giant waves, they were able to unleash their immense power amidst those towering waves.

After observing them, Tang San realized that their physical bodies were comparable to those of Soul Saints in their seventh Soul Skill Martial Soul True Body state. No wonder they didn't have to endure the Tide Body Tempering in the second trial, but rather resist it! If he were a student of Peach Blossom Academy, perhaps he would be the one standing at the very front.

With his physique and the power of the Haotian Hammer, he could also smash a hundred-meter-tall wave with a single blow, displaying an unparalleled prowess.

But now, he can only be tied up here in frustration, soaked in seawater and battered by huge waves every day! His whole body is white from being soaked and bruised from being hit, and he has no power to resist!
Even if he passed the sixth level of the Black-level test, how could he possibly be happy?!

What's even more infuriating is that he can't back out now; he can only grit his teeth and move forward. If he doesn't succeed, he'll die!
No matter what, I have to get my hands on that divinely bestowed soul ring, otherwise it would be a huge loss!
In the first test, Tang San only climbed more than 150 steps. Although his soul power had improved, it was far slower than Shui Yue'er and the others. While the nine students of Taoyuan Academy had all broken through to level 60, his soul power had only barely reached level 57 or 58, still a long way from level 60.

These nine students from Peach Blossom Academy, especially Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran, who were among the first generation of students, had studied at the academy for a long time and experienced all kinds of trials and tribulations. Their learning abilities were outstanding. In less than three months, not only did their soul power increase to around level 69, but they were also able to stand steadily under the giant waves.

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and others followed closely behind.

Ultimately, within just four months, everyone passed the second test, even surpassing their limits, and all of them stayed on the deep-sea sunken silver pillar for more than twenty-five hours.

Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, Shui Bing'er, and Xue Wu all reached level 70 in soul power.

Yu Hairou and Shui Yue'er are at levels 69 and 68 respectively.

After Shen Liuyu, Qiu Ruoshui, and Gu Qingbo broke through level 60 and obtained the sixth divinely bestowed soul ring, their soul power increased to level 65.

On this day, Poseidon, dressed in a bright red robe, descended once more, her eyes filled with amazement. These children had passed the Tidal Body Tempering Test even faster than she had anticipated.

During those four months, she kept a close eye on them, and what surprised her most was that they all possessed rare supernatural abilities.

Yes, it's a supernatural power, not a martial soul or soul skill. It's a supernatural power that integrates one's own martial soul and soul skills, and develops one's physical potential to the extreme. Before this, she rarely saw anyone possess such a supernatural power.

Back then, Tang Chen was highly regarded by her because of his outstanding comprehension and his mastery of the Haotian Hammer's divine power. Unexpectedly, seven such divine power users have emerged among the Sea God Trialers. Doesn't this mean that their future achievements will be no less than Tang Chen's?
No wonder the trials bestowed upon them by the Sea God were far more severe than usual!
"Congratulations on passing the second test, the Tidal Body Refinement. You all still have the opportunity to receive a divinely bestowed soul ring. Are you ready to undergo the baptism of the divinely bestowed soul ring?"

A series of blue rays of light rose up and landed on Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, Xue Wu, and Shui Bing'er, enveloping them completely.

After an unknown amount of time, the black light emanating from them deepened, eventually turning red.

With a sudden boom, powerful auras erupted from the seven individuals:
The seventh spirit ring, a red ring—a 100,000-year spirit ring!

[The second trial of the Sea God has been passed. A trial that transcends limits, where friendship and competition coexist, each with its own unique charm. All members receive a one-thousand-year increase in their soul ring rewards.]

Looking at the soul ring configurations that appeared on Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, Xue Wu, and Shui Bing'er:

Purple, purple, purple, black (purple), black, black, red.

Tang San, still bound to the deep-sea silver pillar and battered by the giant waves, could no longer hold on and completely broke down:

"No—no! That should be my spirit ring!"

You stole my life!

"You guys—Pfft—"

Before he could finish speaking, another wave crashed over him, and a stream of wet, salty seawater rushed into his mouth.

When Tang San's body reappeared in the air, he suddenly coughed, and water seeped from his ears, nose, and eyes...
