Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 196 Poseidon's Dissatisfaction

After returning to Seagod Island, Ning Rongrong began absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring she had obtained.

This time, Ning Rongrong performed well. In just one week, she successfully condensed a 50,000-year-quality soul ring, officially becoming a Soul Saint.

Su Mo then did not rush to complete the fifth test.

Su Mo first practiced his improved strength and the use of his soul skills.

After making sufficient preparations, Su Mo began to challenge the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars.

There's no limit to the number of assessments; you just need to complete it once a year.

As a result, Su Mo and his group only needed one chance to complete the fifth test.

After Su Mo officially broke through to the Soul Douluo level, and with the addition of a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone, Su Mo's soul power had already overwhelmed those Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians.

That is, the strongest Sea Dragon Douluo, whose soul power is stronger than Su Mo's.

However, after Su Mo and Ning Rongrong used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to combine, the Sea Dragon Douluo was no match for Su Mo.

As for the other guardians of the Holy Pillars, they were no match for Su Mo and his companions.

Therefore, Su Mo completed the fifth test of the Nine Trials of the Sea God in just one day.

"I've completed all five Black-Level tests!"

Ye Lingling was the most excited after completing the fifth test, because she only had five tests in total, and after completing the fifth test, she had completed all of them.

After completing all the assessments, Ye Lingling received the reward for her Soul Power level, which then increased to level 64.

Ning Rongrong also leveled up to level 71, and all her spirit rings were given an additional 500 years of age.

As for Su Mo, he remained the same as always, with nothing except for the Sea God's affinity.

Then comes the sixth of the nine trials of Poseidon.

Because Su Mo did not cheat in the fifth test, the content of Su Mo's sixth test was the same.

Despite the combined attack of the seven pillar guardians, they held out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Don't assume that Su Mo is already capable of defeating the Seven Pillar Guardians one by one, and that facing their combined attack will be easy.

The combined strength of seven Title Douluos, who are also guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars, means that even a level 99 Peerless Douluo might not be a match for them.

Of course, Poseidon, who was on the sea, is an exception. Poseidon on the sea could continuously draw upon the power of the sea, and no one except the gods could rival her.

Therefore, Su Mo and Ning Rongrong's test was simply to withstand the combined attack for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, not to defeat them.

After Su Mo and Ning Rongrong used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they almost couldn't hold on in their combined state.

Do not……

When the last tenth of an incense stick had burned, Su Mo and Ning Rongrong could no longer resist.

In the final moments, Su Mo and Ning Rongrong exited their combined state. Su Mo then used teleportation to dodge the attacks of the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians, which allowed them to hold on.

Su Mo was practically ready to carry Ning Rongrong back to the mainland and then teleport back when the time was up.

It's somewhat like cheating.

However, in the end, Shu Mo and Ning Rongrong successfully completed the sixth test.

[Complete the sixth trial of the Nine Trials of Poseidon within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, despite the combined attack of the seven guardian pillars. Reward: 20% Poseidon affinity!]

[Poseidon's affinity rating is 70%!]

"Congratulations on successfully completing the sixth exam!"

After Su Mo and Ning Rongrong completed their assessments, Poseidon reappeared.

Looking at Su Mo and Ning Rongrong, Poseidon felt a strange mix of emotions.

In just a few days, Su Mo completed two assessments in a row.

If things continue like this, Su Mo might be able to complete the Nine Trials of the Sea God very soon, leaving her with very little time.

Thinking of this, Poseidon was filled with sadness and resentment.

However, she had no way to interfere with Su Mo's assessment, nor did she dare to interfere or sabotage it. She could only watch helplessly as Su Mo completed the Nine Trials of the Sea God step by step.

"Your seventh test is very simple; all you need to do is pull out the Trident, the divine weapon left behind by the Sea God!"

"But actually accomplishing it is not so easy!"

"Even with Ning Rongrong's help, it'll be the same!"

"Having completed two assessments in a row, you should rest and recuperate for a while, train diligently, and come find me at the Sea God's Temple when you are fully prepared!"

After saying goodbye to Su Mo and Ning Rongrong, Poseidon quickly left again.

"Why do I get the feeling that the High Priest seems a little unhappy?"

After Poseidon left, Ning Rongrong gently tugged at Su Mo's sleeve and whispered something in his ear.

"How could that be? Rongrong, you must have seen wrong!"

Su Mo smiled and said upon hearing this.

Su Mo knew perfectly well why Poseidon was unhappy, but there was no need for Ning Rongrong to know.

Otherwise, she would definitely be worried!

Su Mo had always been wary of Poseidon, but it seemed that even if Poseidon was unwilling, she wouldn't do anything to him.

Su Mo was originally worried about the sixth test.

According to the original story, Tang San's sixth test involved enduring an attack from Poseidon for the duration of an incense stick burning.

Poseidon also wanted to take the opportunity to kill Tang San, but she failed.

Su Mo didn't know if it was because of Tang Chen, but in any case, Poseidon did have the idea of ​​killing Tang San in the end, but she didn't succeed.

Therefore, Su Mo was worried that it would be dangerous for him to encounter Poseidon during the sixth test.

Unexpectedly, Su Mo's sixth test was a normal assessment, giving Poseidon no chance to make a move.

The seventh test, which Su Mo knew involved drawing the Trident of Poseidon.

The eighth and ninth trials will be tailor-made for him by the Sea God himself. It's hard to say what they will be now; we'll only know when the time comes.

Having completed the fifth and sixth tests in one go, Su Mo was not in a hurry to complete the seventh test.

Afterwards, Su Mo spent a few days happily playing with Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling on Poseidon Island. After completely relaxing for a few days, Su Mo took Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling to the Poseidon Temple on Poseidon Mountain.

Although Ye Lingling had already completed all the assessments, there was nothing for her to do in the subsequent assessments.

However, there's no problem letting her come and take a look.

When Poseidon saw that Ye Lingling had also come to the Temple of the Sea God, she did not stop her, but acquiesced.

"You've arrived?"

"It seems you're all ready for the seventh test!"

"Since that's how it is, then come with me!"

After seeing Su Mo and the others, Poseidon said something and then turned around and led them inside.

Poseidon led Su Mo deep into the temple of the sea god, to a throne.

In front of the throne stood a golden trident.

The entire trident exudes a powerful aura that inspires awe.

Su Mo's eyes were instantly drawn to the Trident of Poseidon.

This Poseidon Trident, strictly speaking, is also a type of gun weapon, which is very suitable for Su Mo.

Because Su Mo's martial spirit is also a spear.

I wonder if I can refine this Trident of Poseidon?

Looking at the Trident of Poseidon, Su Mo's only thought was to refine it and imbue it with his soul!

However, even if you can't refine it into a weapon and imbue it with your own martial soul, it's still a very good thing to be able to combine it with your own martial soul as a soul weapon.

The top-grade spear forged from extraterrestrial meteorite iron on Su Mo's body, after such a long period of soul weapon fusion, is almost at the point where Su Mo can refine it into his soul.

At that time, it will be difficult for Su Mo to find a suitable weapon to fuse with his soul weapon.

The Trident of Poseidon before me is just right!

"This is the Trident of Poseidon, weighing a staggering 108,000 jin!"

"You can start anytime!"

Poseidon looked at the Trident of Poseidon with respect, and then introduced it to Su Mo.

"Yes, High Priest!"

Su Mo nodded, and then went directly to the Trident of Poseidon.

Without any hesitation, Su Mo reached out and grasped the shaft of the Trident of Poseidon!

hum-

The instant Su Mo grasped the Trident of Poseidon, an invisible wave instantly rippled outwards.

Then Su Mo discovered that while his body was still in the same spot, holding the Trident of Poseidon and preparing to pull out the opponent, his soul had already arrived in a mysterious underwater space.

In the deep sea, there also exists a colossal trident of Poseidon, towering high above the ocean floor, its top invisible.

Around the trident of Poseidon, numerous chains were wrapped around it, firmly locking it to the seabed.

At this moment, Su Mo felt as if she had become two different people.

His body remained in the same spot, still holding the trident of Poseidon in one hand, but his soul had traveled to the underwater world.

He can now control two versions of himself simultaneously.

As Su Mo's body attempted to lift the Trident of Poseidon, Su Mo's soul also grasped the chains binding the Trident, trying to pull it out of the seabed.

Su Mo exerted his strength and found that the Trident of Poseidon was indeed excessively heavy. Without using his soul skills, he could not budge the Trident of Poseidon even slightly with all his strength.

"Nine treasures transform into glazed tiles, nine layers of nine colors, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"Seventh Soul Skill: True Martial Soul Body!"

After seeing that Su Mo had already begun the assessment, Ning Rongrong did not slack off. She quickly summoned her martial soul and then provided support and enhancement to Su Mo.

boom--

Sensing Ning Rongrong's soul skill enhancement, Su Mo no longer held back, unleashing all his abilities at this moment.

"Domain of the God of Slaughter!"

"Space-Time Domain!"

"Eight Spider Lances!"

At this moment, Su Mo unleashed all the abilities he could.

Because Su Mo discovered that the Trident of Poseidon in front of him was indeed not so easy to pull out.

hum-

After Su Mo unleashed all his abilities, the Trident of Poseidon finally showed a slight loosening under Su Mo's force.

However, it only loosened slightly; Su Mo still couldn't pull it out.

boom--

At the same time, after the Trident of Poseidon loosened, Su Mo noticed that a strong heat suddenly emanated from the shaft of the Trident.

Su Mo could clearly feel his hands being burned!

She instinctively wanted to loosen her grip, but Su Mo immediately clenched her hands tightly again.

Su Mo knew that if he really let go of his hands, he would have failed the test.

Pulling up the trident of Poseidon tests more than just its weight.

The test also requires the approval of the Trident of Poseidon; only by gaining the approval of the Trident of Poseidon can the Trident of Poseidon be truly pulled out.

To gain the approval of the Trident of Poseidon, one needs extraordinary perseverance, and the burning sensation on Su Mo's hands was one of the tests.

Otherwise, given Su Mo's current physique, he wouldn't be afraid of fire damage!

"what……"

Su Mo endured the burning sensation in his hands, shouting as he continued to pull hard on the Trident of Poseidon.

Su Mo's expression gradually became ferocious. This was not an act; the burning sensation from his hands had gradually spread throughout his entire body, and Su Mo was truly in pain.

Knowing full well that this was a test for him, Su Mo never let up and persevered through gritted teeth.

hum-

While gritting his teeth and struggling to pull out the Trident of Poseidon, Su Mo also summoned the Vast Ocean Universe Cover on his forehead, which is the Heart of Poseidon, allowing the power of the Heart of Poseidon to empower himself.

hum-

After Su Mo summoned the Heart of the Sea God, the Trident of the Sea God trembled again, as if it were trembling with excitement.

Immediately afterwards, Su Mo felt his Vast Ocean Universe Shield fly out from his forehead and then fly towards the Trident of the Sea God.

The Vast Ocean Universe Cover gradually shrank and finally became embedded in the head of the Trident of the Sea God.

It fits perfectly, as if the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was originally embedded in it.

hum-

After the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was successfully embedded in the Trident of the Sea God, Su Mo immediately felt the Trident of the Sea God in his hand become lighter.

The burning sensation that the halberd had originally felt on the body disappeared instantly.

boom--

Finally, Su Mo pulled out the Trident of Poseidon, which weighed a hefty 108,000 jin.

"Great, Su Mo has been pulled out!"

Ye Lingling, who had been watching nervously from below, couldn't help but cheer and jump for joy when she saw Su Mo successfully pull out the Trident of Poseidon.

"It's done!"

Ning Rongrong also breathed a sigh of relief and put away the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda with a smile on her face.

Poseidon also saw Su Mo pull out the Trident of Poseidon and couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly.

Su Mo has even drawn the Trident of the Sea God, which means he is getting closer and closer to completing the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

She now only hopes that the last two tests that the Sea God specially designed for Su Mo will be more difficult.

Ideally, it should be something that Su Mo couldn't accomplish.

However, Poseidon also knew that it was just her fantasy. If she didn't let her personal feelings interfere, she had seen Su Mo's performance and knew that Su Mo was truly outstanding, enough to catch the eye of the Sea God.

Therefore, it's highly unlikely that the Sea God will assign tasks that Su Mo cannot complete.

She only hoped that the tests the Sea God would give Su Mo later wouldn't be so easy to complete, and that they would take more time.
