Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

"Also a thousand years? Besides this, are there any other rewards?"

Mu Yang pressed for an answer.

"Uh~, you have any other rewards?"

Shui Bing'er choked for a moment.

In her opinion, the reward of increasing the age of all the spirit rings by one thousand years, and the total increase of six spirit rings by six thousand years, was already quite generous, considering that the reward for the first assessment was practically free.

But judging from Mu Yang's words, he received an additional reward?

Mu Yang shook his head: "No, it's similar to yours, except there's an additional reward that increases the affinity with the Asura God."

"The Asura God's affinity? Is it because you are the successor of the Asura God?"

Blinking, Shui Bing'er asked.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case."

Pretending not to know, Mu Yang nodded.

The affinity with the Asura God is of paramount importance, just like Tang San's affinity with the Sea God during the Nine Trials of the Sea God in the original work. Putting aside everything else, the fact that one needs to reach 100% divine affinity to inherit a godhood is enough to demonstrate the importance of this attribute.

Subsequently, Mu Yang's consciousness sank into his sea of ​​consciousness to examine the content of the second trial of the Nine Trials of Asura.

—The second test of Asura, the road to hell: pass through the real road to hell, time limit: one month.

"The real road to hell?"

As his consciousness withdrew from his sea of ​​consciousness, Mu Yang frowned.

Clearly, the hell road that the god was referring to was not the hell road they had originally traversed.

To be honest, in Mu Yang's opinion, the hellish path he had traversed back then, apart from the environment, did not deserve the word "hell" at all.

While his strength was certainly far beyond his soul power level, the appearances of the three creatures—the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, and the unexpected Flood Dragon Beast—were all inconsistent with the image of Hell.

Without demons or monsters, how dare you use the word "hell"?

"Uh... could there really be a demon?"

Suddenly, Mu Yang thought of the demons in the Abyss Plane of the Douluo Universe.

In the current era, there were indeed no demons in the Douluo Continent. However, after the neighboring Sun Moon Continent collided with the Douluo Continent in the future, a passage connecting to the Abyss Dimension appeared, and demons came into existence.

Moreover, as 'Shang' mentioned before, the strange beasts in the secret realm all come from another world, and it's possible that there really are abyssal demons in the Shura Secret Realm.

However, Mu Yang was not afraid. The greatly increased strength ceiling after the combination of the battle armor and the martial soul fusion skill gave him strong confidence.

"Bing'er, what is your second test task?"

Mu Yang asked Shui Bing'er.

"I will assist you through the true path to hell, within one month."

After a pause, Shui Bing'er continued, "This test should be a test of your hard skills, and judging from the description of the test content, it should be mainly focused on you."

Since the assessment is primarily your responsibility, the difficulty of the assessment should be measured based on your current level.

"My soul power is a whole level lower than yours, which is holding me back in terms of Soul Fusion Skills. Should I add more soul rings and advance to a seven-ring Soul Saint?"

After a moment's thought, Mu Yang nodded: "Alright!"

With the Spirit Gold Battle Armor in hand, after Shui Bing'er advances to the seventh-ring Soul Saint, the upper limit of her Martial Soul Fusion Skill will surely be raised again. Even if she doesn't reach the level of a level 99 Peerless Douluo, she will at least be at the peak of level 98.

Currently, his soul power is level 80, while Shui Bing'er's soul power is level 70. The assessment is mainly based on him. Even if Shui Bing'er advances to the seventh-ring Soul Saint, her soul power level will still be much lower than his, so it shouldn't increase the difficulty of the assessment.

"Senior, we plan to postpone the assessment until Bing'er advances to the seventh ring."

Mu Yang said to 'Shang'.

Shang nodded and said, "Your Highness, you only need to complete the assessment within the specified time limit."

However, Your Highness, please note that during the assessment period, if Your Highness leaves the sacred mountain's area in the secret realm or leaves the temple's area in the outside world, I will not intervene.

As for daily necessities, Your Highness, if you require them, please speak freely, and I will have the City of Slaughter arrange them.

"Thank you for your trouble, senior."

Mu Yang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

In the Asura Secret Realm, two figures flew rapidly towards the Great Snow Mountain in mid-air.

A little over fifteen minutes later, the snow-capped mountain came into view.

However, before Mu Yang and his companion, both clad in spirit gold battle armor, could officially enter the Great Snow Mountain area, a powerful aura of soul power appeared ahead of them.

On the distant snow-capped mountain peak, a blue bird took flight.

This icy blue bird-like figure is remarkably similar to an ice phoenix, with a blue-gold beak and sharp claws, and ice-crystal-like feathers. With each flap of its wings, tiny ice crystals and snowflakes fall, exuding indescribable elegance and nobility.

"Chirp—?"

Seeing Mu Yang and his companion flying towards them from afar, Bing Luan, who was out for a stroll, couldn't help but let out a puzzled cry, perhaps because she had never seen such strange figures before.

"Tsk~, this Ice Phoenix is ​​indeed 100,000 years old, and its strength is probably no less than that of the Titan Ape."

Clicking his tongue, Mu Yang commented as he looked at the Ice Phoenix who had come to him of her own accord.

Subsequently, Mu Yang took out a Blue Jade Rising Dragon Ginseng, which was enhanced by his Martial Soul True Body, from his Soul Guidance Storage Bracelet and consumed it. All his attributes, including mental power, surged by 80%. He then flew forward and used a Soul-Seizing Secret Technique on the bewildered 100,000-year-old Ice Phoenix.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy flowed out and entered the Ice Phoenix's sea of ​​consciousness. In an instant, the consciousness of the 100,000-year-old Ice Phoenix, the overlord of the Great Snow Mountain, was controlled by Mu Yang.

"Easy to do!"

Having succeeded in one move, Mu Yang raised his head towards Shui Bing'er beside him.

"Mmm, my Muyang is really amazing."

Shui Bing'er nodded in agreement.

"Negative review, the facial expressions and eye contact were not up to par."

Seeing that Shui Bing'er was all talk and no action, but her eyes didn't sparkle at all, Mu Yang couldn't help but complain.

Shui Bing'er: "."

Not long after, a blinding red light suddenly spread from the brow of the 100,000-year-old Ice Phoenix whose consciousness had been controlled, and instantly spread out as a red halo.

Wherever the red light passed, everything nearby was tinged with blood, and everything became absolutely forbidden within this red light.

The familiar sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast unfolds once again.

However, this time, the object of the sacrifice was no longer Mu Yang, but Shui Bing'er.

After a long while, the sacrifice came to an end. The surging blood flame ring suddenly contracted. In an instant, the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul possessed Shui Bing'er, and a series of explosions erupted around her body as six soul rings of purple, purple, purple, black, black, and black bloomed.

In the blink of an eye, the shrinking Blood Flame Ring shone with a bright red light, transforming into the seventh soul ring of 100,000 years, which was placed around the original six soul rings of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.

At the same time, a beam of blood-red light shone on Shui Bing'er's forehead, and a flash of icy blue skull light disappeared. (End of this chapter)
