Douluo Continent: Who exactly is my father?

For some reason, Bai Chenxiang's once calm heart was now restless, her cheeks flushed, and as she looked at the different figure in front of her, her face couldn't help but turn even redder.

Thump thump thump...

Could this be the feeling of being smitten?

Immediately afterwards, Ma Hongjun reappeared in front of everyone, much thinner than before. The fat on his stomach had disappeared, and a few abdominal muscles could be vaguely seen. He had also become much taller, about 1.8 meters tall.

The inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent is inherently scorching hot; the flames burn away the fat? A phoenix-like rebirth?

Perhaps...

Ma Hongjun pinched his cheek, then touched his flat stomach, and suddenly felt more confident. He hurriedly ran to the beach and looked at his reflection in the sea.

"Alas--"

"I've finally become a handsome guy!"

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and started jumping around on the spot. Hai specially bowed in the direction of Haishen Mountain and kept muttering things like "Long live Teacher Bo".

He's gotten thinner and more handsome!

He's no longer fat!

The first thing Ma Hongjun did was to stand in front of Dai Mubai and Oscar, deliberately posing as if he was about to be beaten.

"Between Dai and Little Ao, who's more handsome now?"

Dai Mubai: "..."

Oscar: "..."

The two men glared at Ma Hongjun, veins bulging on their foreheads and eyes blazing with fury. "If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!" It had only been a few days!

Dai Mubai and Oscar nodded in unison, each putting their arms around one of Ma Hongjun's shoulders, and began to walk slowly into the forest in unison.

……

Soon after, Ma Hongjun's screams continued unabated...

Everyone: "..."

You'll get used to it...

In the days that followed, under the influence of Ma Hongjun's domain, the Phoenix Domain exerted a restraining effect on fish. It counterbalanced Xiao Bai's Demonic Shark Domain, and while Tang San was still immersed in absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring, Ma Hongjun became a new and powerful force.

After going around in circles, three months have passed...

On this day, as usual, everyone emerged from the sea and stepped ashore in high spirits. After this period of cultivation, they had gradually become familiar with the cultivation process on Seagod Island. At the same time, their soul power had increased significantly, showing great progress…

Immediately afterwards, Tang San reacted.

Everyone looked in unison. After three months of absorption, Tang San had finally completed the absorption of the divinely bestowed spirit ring. Surrounding Tang San's body was a layer of blue-gold eggshell woven from Blue Silver Emperor.

Tang San was completely enveloped inside, his appearance smooth and rounded, with naturally strong soul power fluctuations.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Ma Hongjun slowly stepped forward and gently touched the eggshell. Immediately, the eggshell began to crack, with spiderweb-like cracks filling every corner.

"Holy crap, I didn't mean to..."

Ma Hongjun stepped back slightly, spreading his hands to look "innocent".

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the eggshell on Tang San's head cracked, and when a cloud of pure white smoke dissipated, Tang San, who had been missing for three months, reappeared in everyone's sight.

But this time, everyone's expression changed drastically. Even Dai Mubai couldn't help but cover his head with his hands. Oscar rubbed his eyes, and Ma Hongjun moved closer. Who is this guy?

"Pfft..."

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh out loud. The person in front of her was indeed Tang San, but his original sea-blue long hair had disappeared, replaced by a buzz cut. Less than three centimeters of hair grew on his head, and the outline of his skull could still be vaguely seen. It was an oval shape.

"Hahaha……"

"That's hilarious..."

"Third brother! Third brother, you've finally met your match!"

The group laughed heartlessly, and even Xiao Wu couldn't help but chuckle, covering her rabbit ears with both hands, her eyes filled with disbelief. The person in front of her was Tang San? Were they kidding her?

Tang San opened his eyes groggily, looking at the people in front of him who were both incredibly familiar and strange. The expressions on everyone's faces varied, but the smiles on their faces betrayed them.

"Everyone, what's going on?"

Tang San asked, puzzled. When he looked around, his expression changed. "Where are my clothes? How did they disappear?"

During the process of absorbing the divinely bestowed spirit ring, his clothes had already been crushed to shreds due to the immense pressure. At this moment, Tang San not only had a buzz cut but was also shirtless, thankfully his lower body was still intact.

"Third Brother, your hair..."

"Hahaha!!!"

Ma Hongjun kindly reminded him, but Tang San was half-convinced, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar back in front of him.

"You...you're Fatty?"

Tang San spoke subconsciously.

But when Tang San touched his own hair, his expression changed drastically. His originally smooth, sea-blue hair had disappeared, replaced by a buzz cut that was also very prickly, as if steel needles were sticking into his head.

Ma Hongjun chuckled, "Third Brother, how about it? Please don't call me Fatty anymore, I'm a real handsome guy now!"

Tang San smiled bitterly, then struggled free, shattering the eggshells surrounding him. He stood in mid-air, his right leg radiating blue light. Somehow, he was now wearing clothes, and his original buzz cut had grown back, replaced by a head of smooth, long, sea-blue hair thanks to the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.

Tang San smiled slightly, and the Blue Silver Emperors around him began to grow wildly. The Blue Silver Domain was also released, and he could feel that its range was much stronger. Moreover, after obtaining a very important eighth spirit ring, the domain had evolved again, giving rise to even more powerful skills. The Blue Silver Emperor was known for its resilience; it was like a wildfire that could not burn it out, and the spring breeze that brought it back to life.

When Ah Yin sacrificed herself, she left behind a seed of the Blue Silver Emperor, which was eventually reborn after being illuminated by the light of the sea god.

Tang San's eyes flashed with blue light, and to everyone's astonishment, the eight spirit rings beneath his feet were released in an instant.

Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, red, red.

Ma Hongjun exclaimed, "Third Brother's eighth spirit ring is actually..."

"One hundred thousand years!"

Dai Mubai swallowed hard. The gap between him and his brother was too wide. He could clearly feel that Tang San's soul power, which was as vast as mountains and seas, was no match for his own.

At this moment, the usual playful banter vanished, and everyone quietly watched the 100,000-year spirit ring around Tang San's waist. Bo Feng had once said that divinely bestowed spirit rings are primarily designed to be tailored to the individual's maximum capacity, evolving into a product suitable for the spirit master.

In other words, obtaining a divinely bestowed spirit ring is much easier than hunting spirit beasts, and the quality is also far superior to some spirit rings dropped by spirit beasts.

Unfortunately, not everyone can possess a divinely bestowed soul ring; only those who have passed the Black-level test or higher can have one.

Tang San slowly landed, and as his feet touched the sand, his aura gradually subsided, the Blue Silver Emperor spirit began to fade, and the eight spirit rings beneath his feet disappeared...

He could sense that his soul power had reached halfway to level 83, approaching level 84. Given some time, he could complete the breakthrough.

"Fatty, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."

Tang San looked at Ma Hongjun at this moment and sighed in his heart. The original chubby Ma Hongjun looked cute, but the one in front of him felt a little out of place, an indescribable feeling.

Ma Hongjun scratched his head. "Third Brother, I'm a handsome guy now. The title of 'fatty' is long gone."

Everyone chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the nickname 'Fatty' will follow you for the rest of your life."

Ever since Ma Hongjun became handsome, Bai Chenxiang's opinion of him has changed drastically. The greasy fat man from before is gone, replaced by a still sleazy but decent-looking "handsome guy," who has finally caught Bai Chenxiang's eye.

Although he still looks sleazy, what's a little sleazy in youth?

With Tang San's complete return, everyone plans to launch their final assault on the second test tomorrow!

The difficulty of the second test is self-evident. Crossing the ring-shaped sea blockade is already enough to make one feel hopeless, let alone defeating the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, which is simply an impossible task.

Although Tang San broke through to the Soul Douluo level at that time and obtained a crucial eighth soul ring, a 100,000-year-old one, his soul skills could not be used. What use was obtaining a new soul ring and increasing his soul power level?

Chapter 88 The Battle from Xiaobai

The next day, early in the morning.

Shrek Seven Devils and Bai Chenxiang arrived at the shore and looked at the dark mass of sea spirit beasts and hundreds of demonic great white sharks. Today was the day they completed the first half of the second test and broke through the ring sea blockade.

Xiao Bai transformed into the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, her twenty-meter-long body lying across the sea monsters, her pair of gray-gold eyes fixed on the Shrek Seven Devils who had descended into the sea. As the chief examiner of the second test, no matter how good her relationship with these little monsters was, she couldn't afford to go easy on them.

The seven Shrek Seven Devils, who had entered the sea, protected Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu behind them. With one support-type Soul Master and one who had sacrificed himself, the two girls had no ability to resist the wave after wave of attacks from the sea spirit beasts.

Dai Mubai's first spirit ring lit up, and a layer of pale gold protective barrier appeared around his body. After Oscar ate the sausage made from Dai Mubai's blood, he also used the White Tiger Protective Barrier to isolate the surrounding sea spirit beasts one by one. The group of people made their way forward with difficulty in the sea.

The two sides are about five kilometers apart, and if you want to move forward step by step, there are many sea monsters along the way that will harass you.

Upon seeing this scene, a white light flashed in Tang San's eyes, and a tangible white killing intent began to condense around him, releasing his Killing God Domain. A dense killing intent permeated the deep sea, deterring many sea spirit beasts from approaching easily.

Xiao Bai smiled slightly, "Do you really think that just because I have the advantage of this domain, I can't stop you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaobai released the Demon Shark Domain. The two domains restrained each other, and at the same time, many sea spirit beasts seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

At the same time, Ma Hongjun's entire body was engulfed in phoenix flames, and the seven fire phoenixes behind him soared into the sky, unintentionally turning the seawater red.

This is Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Domain!

The little white boy on the shore frowned. He knew that Ma Hongjun had obtained the domain, but the Shrek Seven Devils had kept quiet about it.

On that day, Ma Hongjun completed the absorption of his seventh spirit ring, allowing his martial spirit to evolve. In the meantime, Xiaobai sensed the existence of the domain.

Unexpectedly, they dared to use their domain to oppose me on my own turf!

As Ma Hongjun unleashed his Phoenix Flame, the sea spirit beasts in front of and around the Shrek Seven Devils seemed to be wary of something and began to scatter and flee. The inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent greatly enhanced Ma Hongjun. Under the effect of his domain, the power of Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame would increase by fifty percent. Unless the domain was broken, he would be immortal. Have you ever heard of the Phoenix's rebirth?

Apart from Little White, there were no other sea spirit beasts that could get close to the group.

With no obstacles ahead, the group quickened their pace underwater and began running rapidly forward. In no time, they had covered half the distance.

Due to the special rules of the second trial, Xiaobai could only command the sea spirit beasts and could not participate in the trials. She had a more important task: to face the challenge from the Shrek Seven Devils.

They will face Xiaobai head-on, defeat him, and ultimately complete the second test.

Sea spirit beasts in the ocean generally exist for a thousand years, and occasionally some exist for ten thousand years.

As the king of birds, the phoenix has an absolute advantage over fish. Therefore, the group easily reached the other side without much effort. At the same moment they arrived at the shore, a different light flashed between the brows of each of the seven people, indicating that half of the mission was completed.

At the same time, the "shackles" on their bodies seem to have been removed...

Oscar was overjoyed, "My seventh spirit ring can be used now!"

Upon hearing Oscar's words, everyone hurriedly began to sense things one by one...

"Not bad, my seventh spirit ring can be used normally now."

Dai Mubai smiled slightly and looked at his other brothers and sisters.

Tang San and the others nodded. "All my spirit rings have been unlocked. So this is the surprise Sister Xiaobai was talking about. Once we complete the Ring Sea blockade, the shackles binding us will also disappear."
