The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 284 The Second Test Ended Just as It Began (Sorry, my writing alarm didn't go off).

Dark clouds loomed overhead, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air. The seawater outside Mount Poseidon suddenly boiled, creating a sense of impending doom.

Strange energies spread from the ring-shaped sea, and Poseidon Mountain bloomed with unique colorful clouds. A golden light shot into the sky, enveloping the surrounding area.

A series of light screens appeared in their minds, conveying the information about the second test.

[The second test: Break through the circular blockade and reach the other side without killing the soul beast]

Upon hearing the mission requirements, Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan instantly felt relieved. The sudden change in the sky's color had made them think something terrible had happened.

They crossed the Ring Sea when they came, so what's so difficult about this?

Ning Rongrong glanced at her mission requirements and looked at Li Xun with a worried expression: "Brother, my mission requires me not to use spirit rings or spirit skills. What about you?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm the same." Li Xun gave a reassuring look. The real difficulty of this second test lies with the Demon Soul Great White Shark Little White.

A normal Soul Master might be troubled if their Soul Skills were sealed, but he's different.

"Wood Release: Descent of the Tree World." Li Xun smiled and clapped his hands. Who says Soul Masters have to use Soul Rings to use skills?

Vines and vines sprouted from the seabed behind Li Xun, instantly lifting up the land that lacked the light of the sea god. Layers of undulating green plants surged like ocean waves, rushing towards the ring sea with unparalleled momentum.

Poseidon saw the scene below from high above, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Although she didn't know the specific requirements of Li Xun's assessment, she could tell that Li Xun hadn't used any of his spirit ring skills.

Soul ring skills are the foundation of a Soul Master's power, but Li Xun could use such a wide-range attack with just Soul Power, which immediately piqued her interest.

Thump, thump.

The seawater and greenery intertwined, creating waves tens of meters high, and heavy sounds reached the ears of every living creature in this area.

"Lord Sea God! If I limit my cultivation and only try to block, I can't stop it at all!" Little White looked up at the sky from the sea.

[As long as it doesn't endanger lives, it's acceptable]

A short voice appeared in Xiaobai's mind. She was startled, then joy welled up in her heart, and a huge tail slapped happily.

The sea god spoke to her.

Xiao Bai looked happily towards the shore. Since it was the Sea God's request, she would play with these humans to her heart's content.

The enormous tail stirred up an undercurrent, carrying large amounts of seawater toward the shore.

A monstrous wave rose, a 20-meter-high wave surging from the sea surface, carrying a destructive aura as it swept towards the Sea God Mountain.

boom-

Azure blue overshadowed the green, and the sea, with unparalleled force, slammed the vines against the invisible membrane of Poseidon Mountain. The powerful force shattered the branches and vines, scattering them like marine debris.

Some of the spirit beasts in the sea were also affected; those with slightly weaker strength were instantly squeezed into fish paste by the two forces.

"I didn't kill him!" Li Xun looked up and quickly said he wouldn't take the blame, while thinking about his next move.

Although Xiaobai doesn't have the same illustrious bloodline as other 100,000-year-old soul beasts, its strength should still increase by 30% in the sea.

Li Xun estimated that she was about the same strength as the Titan Giant Ape, but only in the context of fighting Soul Masters in the sea.

Soul power slowly surged out from within his body.

The fragments of branches and vines that had been churned up by the waves gradually came together on the sea surface, which Xiaobai didn't notice at first.

As visibility on the seabed suddenly darkened, the vines began to grow rapidly and connect, completely obscuring the sea surface along the coast, while wisps of electricity flickered on the vines.

Any sea monsters that didn't know what was going on were electrocuted as soon as they got close. Although they weren't in mortal danger, their bodies twitched and they sank to the bottom of the sea.

Electric fishing?

The word inexplicably popped into Xiaobai's mind, and he immediately flew into a rage. His body spun rapidly, creating a huge whirlpool in the sea. At the same time, blue ripples, like water blades, appeared and disappeared within the whirlpool.

The vines that had been obscuring the view were broken up, and the sunlight shone on the sea again. But before Xiaobai could even feel happy, he saw a wooden figure standing on the shore that was three times his own size.

Whoosh—

With a wave of his hand, the wooden figure sent three figures flying, who were instantly transported to the other side.

Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then felt a surge of anger. One by one, dark red teeth appeared in front of her and shot out at the wooden figure on the shore.

The Shark's Fang pierced through the wooden dummy in an instant, leaving holes in its body. The dummy seemed to lose its balance and tilted towards the sea.

boom-

Its massive body crashed into the sea with a deafening roar, and the seawater surged to both sides in an instant. Little White quickly dodged to one side.

Just then, a figure flashed out from behind the wooden figure and leaped to the other side in the blink of an eye.

"You cheated!!" Xiao Bai shouted angrily as it surfaced.

Li Xun laughed: "The assessment only said we had to break through the blockade, but it didn't specify the methods. Did you expect me to fight you head-on?"

Xiao Bai was speechless. With his cultivation level, he was already comparable to a level 95 Title Douluo. He was indeed no match for this human who was only level 80.

"Alright then, you win." Little White slapped the sea with its tail, somewhat unwillingly. With a flash of light, it transformed into a humanoid girl and came ashore.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

With her long, sky-blue hair and a white leather outfit that perfectly accentuated her figure, she was, though slightly less striking than Zhu Zhuqing and the others, still a stunning beauty with an exotic charm.

"I was originally planning to play around with you, but I didn't expect this assessment to end so quickly. I wonder if Lord Poseidon will think I'm useless."

Xiao Bai pouted and circled around Li Xun.

"Don't worry, this is only the second test. We might need to work together again later," Li Xun reassured him.

Xiao Bai is the mount of the Sea God. If Rong Rong or I successfully inherit the Sea God's position, then this guy will become my subordinate.

Li Xun is tolerant towards the soul beasts in his own camp and will not harbor any ill intentions because of a 100,000-year soul ring.

Li Xun then chatted briefly with Xiao Bai, which was also a way for Xiao Bai to get acquainted with the leader in advance.

Just then, four beams of light simultaneously shone from Li Xun and the others' foreheads.

[The combination of wisdom and strength led the companions through the blockade of the 100,000-year-old demonic great white shark. The Sea God's affinity increased by 2.5%, and the total affinity increased by 5%.]

Li Xun was not surprised by such a reward, while Ning Rongrong finally had no choice but to accept the reality, and she was completely dejected.

With this reward, Dugu Yan's first four soul rings all turned purple, which she proudly showed off in front of Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong retorted angrily, "What are you so smug about? Even if you reward me with tons of rewards, won't I be the one who ultimately becomes a god?"

"This is different! After I get the Sea God's reward, I can get another reward when I go to other divine trials!" Dugu Yan covered her mouth and chuckled.

Ning Rongrong remained silent for a long time before looking at Li Xun: "Brother, do you think we can pass the test if we go to other gods?"

"Probably not, after all, the sea god still has some influence."

Next came the Tidal Body Refinement, which Li Xun found insane; twelve hours of it was completely inhuman.

Fortunately, he has healing abilities, which not only allows him to withstand the pressure, but also helps Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan suffer less.

Time passed day by day on Poseidon Island, while turmoil was brewing on the mainland.
