The goddess of life thought to herself.

He then sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and slowly merged the power within his body with his own.

Douluo Continent.

In the cold rain in the room.

A faint sandalwood scent permeated the room in the cold rain, and the morning sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

He lay on the bed, his brows slightly furrowed, as if troubled by something.

Suddenly, his tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, and his pupils under his eyelids rolled rapidly a few times, as if he were experiencing a bizarre dream.

Then, his eyelids snapped open, revealing a pair of deep black eyes, still lingering with a hint of confusion and disbelief.

He subconsciously raised his right hand, wanting to rub his sleepy eyes, but felt a wave of weakness and soreness, as if he had just finished a strenuous workout.

"That's impossible, how could I suddenly fall into a deep sleep?"

He propped himself up on the bed and slowly sat up, his head feeling as if it were filled with mush, dizzy and disoriented.

He tried to recall what had happened before he fell into a deep sleep, but found his mind blank, with only a blurry fragment of a dream flashing before his eyes.

"And to make matters worse, he had a erotic dream, which is absolutely ridiculous."

The scene in his dream was erotic and enchanting. A goddess with unparalleled beauty and a graceful figure danced before him, her light and graceful movements as stunning as a startled swan, captivating and mesmerizing.

Then, the goddess slowly walked towards him, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, her snow-white skin radiating an alluring glow in the dim light.

They grew closer and closer, close enough to feel each other's breath and heartbeat.

The goddess smiled at him and danced gracefully before him.

She then spent the night with him.

But when he came to his senses, he couldn't remember what the goddess looked like.

"The first of the nine tests of destruction, desire, has been passed."

Just then, a emotionless voice came, startling Han Yu from her reverie.

"Huh? How did it pass?"

"I didn't feel anything at all."

He just took a nap and it passed?

Moreover, there was no indication at all that the Divine Exam was about to begin.

Han Yu asked in her mind:

"God of Destruction, why did you suddenly put me, your successor, to this divine trial? Why didn't you inform me?"

His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, after all, as the inheritor, he believed he had the right to know information related to the divine examination.

The next moment, a phantom figure appeared in Han Yu's mind.

The figure was tall and imposing, dressed in a purple and black cloak, with a cold and stern face, exuding a terrifying aura that could destroy everything.

It is the god of destruction!

The God of Destruction looked down at Han Yu, his eyes cold and his tone indifferent:

"As the one who sets the criteria for the divine examinations, I, the God-King, have no need to explain so much to you."

His voice was deep and majestic, like rolling thunder, making Han Yu's eardrums buzz.

"I can only remind you that the divine test can begin at any time, so be prepared."

The voice of the God of Destruction remained cold and devoid of any emotion.

"In addition, passing the first test this time will reward you with three levels of soul power, increase the age of your soul ring by one thousand years, and increase your affinity with the God of Destruction by ten percent."

After the God of Destruction finished speaking, he vanished from Han Yu's mind, leaving only a faint black mist.

As the God of Destruction finished speaking, Han Yu felt a surge of immense energy flow into his body. His soul power instantly increased by three levels, and his first soul ring changed from yellow, representing a hundred years, to purple, representing a thousand years.

This sudden increase in power made Han Yu feel refreshed, but he was not overjoyed.

As for the final affinity with the God of Destruction, Han Yu considered it the least valuable thing. No matter how much he increased it, it would never reach one hundred percent.

It's useless to him.

However, the increase in his soul power was very significant for him.

My current soul power level has reached level 75.

After the rewards were distributed, the God of Destruction's deep voice echoed in Han Yu's mind once more:

"The second test will be held randomly, so be prepared. Also, thank you, Hanyu."

After saying that, the voice of the God of Destruction completely disappeared.

"Thank you?" Han Yu murmured to herself, her eyes full of confusion.

Why did the God of Destruction thank him? What is the hidden meaning behind those words?

"Thank you. Was I able to help him in any way?"

"Strange"

Han Yu composed herself and decided to refine her newly enhanced soul power.

With the cold rain and the seclusion, the next day quickly arrived.

At this point, the competition outside had become increasingly intense.

The competition grew increasingly intense, with the shouts of the audience and the deafening roar of colliding soul forces intertwined.

"Next match: Snow Demon Sect versus Earth Dragon Gate. Both sides enter the waiting area. The first contestant will enter the arena."

The host's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire venue.

On the Snow Demon Sect's side, Han Yu took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, and stepped forward first. His teammates followed suit, marching in unison towards the waiting area.

On the dais, Xu Tianran, the regent of the Sun Moon Empire, was watching the competition with great interest.

He was dressed in magnificent robes, wearing a golden crown, and had a handsome face, but with a sickly pallor.

Upon hearing the host announce the two teams facing off in the next match, Xu Tianran's previously nonchalant gaze suddenly sharpened.

He leaned forward slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over the Snow Demon Sect's group, a barely perceptible sneer curling at the corner of his lips.

"Hmm?" Xu Tianran thought to himself, "This must be someone from the Body Sect. They're actually using the alias Snow Demon Sect. How cunning."

He tapped the armrest lightly, his fingertips moving rhythmically, as if he were thinking about something.

Although Xu Tianran is young, he is already a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level.

He was exceptionally talented and cultivated at an astonishing speed, reaching a height that was difficult for ordinary people to attain in a limited time.

If he hadn't been burdened with royal responsibilities, he might have become a carefree and top-tier Soul Master.

However, fate had other plans that forced him to shoulder the heavy burden of the empire.

Xu Tianran placed high hopes on this competition, hoping to use this opportunity to observe the movements of various forces and prepare for the future unification of the mainland.

Yesterday, he sat on the podium all day and watched the entire match.

Early this morning, accompanied by the Crown Princess Ju Zi and ministers, he arrived at the podium.

His legs are weak, and sitting for long periods of time is torture for him.

However, for the sake of the empire, he was willing to endure anything.

Orange is dressed in palace attire; today she looks even more beautiful and has a gentle temperament.

Sensing Xu Tianran's gaze, she followed his line of sight, but because of the distance, she could only vaguely see a few blurry figures.

"Your Highness, according to reliable sources, the Snow Demon Sect is indeed composed of people from the Body Sect," Orange said in a low voice.

"But I didn't know they were going to use aliases to participate. Could they have some other motive?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered to himself:

"The fact that they're participating under an alias instead of the official name of the Body Sect suggests something fishy is going on."

However, I have already made thorough preparations; no matter which way the wind blows, I will remain unmoved.

Xu Tianran sneered inwardly, more or less able to guess what the Body Sect wanted to do.

However, he had already made thorough preparations and had considered all possible scenarios.

"Let's ignore them for now and watch the competition. This tournament has given me so many surprises."

"First, people from the Clear Sky Sect appeared, and now several Soul Saints and a Soul Douluo have emerged."

"This level of strength is nothing compared to the previous one."

Xu Tianran said calmly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He really hadn't expected there to be so many talented people in this competition.

This was completely unexpected.

As soon as the Snow Demon Sect members entered the waiting area, Long Aotian eagerly stood up, turned to Han Yu, and spoke with a hint of excitement and eagerness:

"Young Sect Master, let me go for the first match!"

Han Yu sat calmly in the first position of the waiting area. Upon hearing Long Aotian's request, she nodded slightly in agreement, but still remembered to add a word of advice:

"Go ahead, but go easy on them. After all, we're partners now."

"Understood!" Long Aotian replied excitedly after receiving permission, knowing what Han Yu was referring to.

The relationship between the Earth Dragon Gate and the Body Sect is now extraordinary; it's more like mutual support than cooperation.

Of course, with the current strength of the Earth Dragon Gate, it was not qualified to be on par with the Body Sect, but who told Han Yu to take their treasure?

From both a moral and logical standpoint, we should still take care of the Earth Dragon Gate to the best of our ability.

Long Aotian said no more and strode towards the competition venue.

By this time, the spectators were already in place, their voices rising in a great uproar, all eagerly anticipating the start of the match. After all, this first match was crucial to the morale of both sects.

Long Aotian arrived at the center of the field and stood side by side with the young man from the Earth Dragon Gate, next to the referee.

The referee, a stern-looking middle-aged man, glanced at the two men and said in a deep voice:

"You are all familiar with the rules of the game, so I won't go into detail. Both sides, step back and wait for my signal to begin the match."

"Yes." Long Aotian and the young man from the Earth Dragon Gate nodded at the same time, then each took a few steps back, staring intently at the other.

"My name is Long Aotian," Long Aotian said, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Earth Dragon Gate, Xu Shenshu." The other party returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute.

"Brother Long, go easy on him later!" Xu Shenshu suddenly said with a smile, his tone relaxed as if he were joking, but his eyes were full of seriousness.

Long Aotian was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Xu, I won't bully you."

After a brief exchange, Long Aotian put his hands behind his back and strolled away with an air of confidence.

Xu Shenshu turned and strode away, his right foot slamming into the ground with a loud thud. He shot out like an arrow, reaching the edge of the road in just a few leaps. His speed was astonishing.

"Hehe, interesting."

Inside the waiting area, Han Yu smiled slightly. He recognized the young man from the Earth Dragon Gate; he was one of the people who had called Nan Qiuqiu "Big Sister" before.

"Han Yu, isn't it a bit... a bit... that Long Aotian's opponent is only at the Soul King realm?"

Ning Tian, ​​standing to the side, pursed his lips. It wasn't that he looked down on the young man from the Earth Dragon Gate, but Long Aotian was a Soul Saint after all.

In comparison, the difference is immediately apparent.

Han Yu said, "Just watch closely, Brother Ao Tian has his own pride."

"He often says that he is invincible at the same level, so I think that when he fights Xu Shenshu, he will definitely suppress his strength to the Soul King level, and he will not use his sixth or seventh soul skills."

Ning Tian nodded slowly upon hearing this.

Yuan Gungun said, "That's great! I wonder if Brother Aotian knows how to use the Unity of Heaven and Man technique. I've wanted to learn it for a long time, but I'm always just a little short. I still haven't mastered it."

"Don't rush, you're only at the Soul Emperor level right now, you still have time."

As she spoke, Han Yu's gaze swept toward the competition stage.

In the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Hongchen frowned and said worriedly to Meng Hongchen beside him:

"Dream, look, that person is called Long Aotian, a Soul Saint of the Snow Demon Sect."

Following Xiao Hongchen's gaze, Meng Hongchen indeed saw a burly man standing on the competition stage, radiating powerful soul energy. She couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Yes, I see it. His soul power fluctuations are very strong. He should be a formidable opponent."

Xiao Hongchen sighed and continued, "Besides Long Aotian, the Snow Demon Sect also has Han Yu and that woman named Qiu'er."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen muttered somewhat discontentedly:

"Han Yu is really something. Instead of coming to our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy with such good conditions, she went to represent the Snow Demon Sect in the competition."

"If they have nowhere to go, why don't they just represent our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the competition? And that Qiu'er too, she's clearly a student of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, yet she ran off with Han Yu."

"If they were all here, our academy would have four Soul Saints, and we would have won this competition without a doubt."

Meng Hongchen clenched her fists, her voice filled with resentment.

Xiao Hongchen rolled his eyes at his sister, annoyed, and said, "You don't still think that the Snow Demon Sect is some sect he just randomly joined, do you?"

Meng Hongchen was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Isn't that right? Is there a problem?"

Xiao Hongchen shook his head helplessly and pointed at Long Aotian on the competition stage, saying, "Take a good look at those people's martial spirits."

"What?" Meng Hongchen was even more puzzled. She looked in the direction her brother was pointing and carefully observed Long Aotian's martial soul.

It was clear that Long Aotian's martial soul was not some strange weapon martial soul or beast martial soul, but rather a body of skin that shone with a metallic luster. This was clearly an extremely rare body martial soul!

Xiao Hongchen shook his head speechlessly. His younger sister was usually much smarter than him, but she could be really silly at times.

"So that's who they are," Meng Hongchen murmured.

Xiao Hongchen sighed and said, "Even if Han Yu doesn't join the Snow Demon Sect, he still won't fight for our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

"Even for your sake, it's not possible."

"Why?" Meng Hongchen pouted, clearly displeased. (End of Chapter)
