Douluo Continent: The Five Elements Lock Martial Soul, Five Elements Divine Might Transformation

Besides the two of them, after seeing that Huo Wushuang had completed the first test and received the reward, Xue Wu took a deep breath and also climbed the steps of Sea God Mountain.

She was a support-type Soul Master, so the Sea God didn't make things too difficult for her; he only asked her to climb 128 steps.

Even so, after climbing to the hundredth floor, every step from then on was extremely difficult for her. Before long, she was drenched in sweat, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.

But she wasn't too nervous. After all, this assessment would last for a whole year. For Xuewu, even if she only made a small step forward each day, she would have plenty of time to complete this first assessment.

Meanwhile, after seeing that Huo Wushuang had passed the test, Ling Yun slowly got up and climbed the Sea God Mountain again to receive the baptism and torment of the Sea God's light.

And just like that, three months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Ling Yun's daily climb on Poseidon Mountain actually caused a slight loosening of his bottleneck at level 86.

Ling Yun also pressed on with his energy, activating the Five Elements Divine Art, and his cultivation level reached level eighty-seven in one fell swoop!

With his breakthrough in cultivation, Ling Yun also had more soul power to resist the pressure of the Sea God's Light. Therefore, in just three months, he had already climbed to the 490th step of Sea God Mountain.

He was just ten steps away from completing the first test.

As for Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and the others, they only needed to climb up to the 333rd step, which is why they progressed faster.

In just three months, everyone except Ling Yun has completed the first assessment and received the Sea God's reward.

Huo Wu's soul power has increased by one level, and she is now a powerful offensive battle soul saint at the peak of level 79.

Feng Xiaotian's soul power increased by two levels, and his cultivation level successfully broke through to level eighty. After absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring, his cultivation level also reached a terrifying level eighty-three, making him the second Soul Douluo among the seven after Ling Yun.

Xue Wu's soul power increased by one level, reaching level sixty-four. Because support-type soul masters cultivate at a slower pace, her cultivation level has always been the lowest among them.

Given this situation, Ling Yun generously took out an eight-petaled fairy orchid and gave it to Xue Wu as a gift.

After absorbing the medicinal power of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Xue Wu's soul power increased by three levels, reaching level sixty-eight, and her cultivation speed increased significantly.

As long as I work hard in meditation and cultivation, I will definitely be able to catch up with Huo Wu and the others in terms of cultivation level.

Next up were the Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sisters. Both were exceptionally talented young geniuses and possessed soul bones, so the sisters easily completed the first test.

Shui Yue'er's soul power increased to level 78. Although Shui Bing'er's soul power did not increase, she gained the affinity of the Sea God and gained the initial ability to manipulate the sea.

If she were to fight in the ocean now, she would undoubtedly be invincible!

Now everyone has completed the first assessment, except for Ling Yun.

"Lingyun, keep going! There are only five steps left. Just a few more jogs and you'll be up there. Keep it up!"

At the foot of the mountain, Shuiyue'er excitedly cheered for Lingyun.

On Poseidon Mountain, Ling Yun had already climbed to the 495th step, just five steps away from completing the assessment and receiving the reward.

"Hehe, Sister Yue'er, it's so easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering..."

Hearing Shuiyue'er's shouts, Lingyun couldn't help but force a bitter smile. Climbing the four hundred and ninety steps was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

If his soul power hadn't already reached level 87, the pressure around here would probably have crushed him in an instant.

"But what Sister Yue'er said is right. We're just a few steps away. We just need to give it our all."

Ling Yun gritted his teeth and released the power of the Five Elements, bracing himself against the pressure brought by the light of the Sea God, climbing step by step until he reached the highest point!

It took him a full twenty minutes to climb just five steps, but he finally stood on the five hundredth step, which meant that he had successfully completed his first test.

Then, Ling Yun spread his Wings of the Evil God and flew from Mount Poseidon to its foot. Poseidon also came over at the right time and presented him with the reward from the Sea God.

As a surge of pure sea god power flowed into his body, Ling Yun's aura surged, and his cultivation level instantly reached level eighty-eight, bringing him one step closer to the level ninety bottleneck.

In addition, the age of all his spirit rings has been increased by five hundred years, and his second spirit ring, which was originally purple, has become even more vibrant.

Even the first spirit ring has become more conspicuous, and a faint purple tinge has appeared on its edge.

If he receives another reward from the Sea God, this first soul ring can be transformed into a thousand-year soul ring.

At the same time, as Ling Yun completed the first assessment, several lines of bright red text reappeared before his eyes.

[Red-Level Eighth Test, Second Test: Breaking Through the Ring-Shaped Blockade]

[Content: Within one year, without killing a single sea spirit beast, assist the inheritor of the Sea God in breaking through the blockade of the circular sea and reaching the circular island on the other side. During the assessment, the use of spirit ring skills is prohibited.]

[Reward: Mental strength increased by 5%, all spirit rings upgraded by 500 years.]

……

"Mental strength increased by five percent!"

Upon seeing the reward, Ling Yun raised an eyebrow, followed by a surge of elation.

With stronger mental power, he can absorb spirit rings of higher age. As long as his mental power reaches a certain level, he can even absorb the spirit ring of a million-year-old deep-sea demon whale king!

Chapter 171 Little White, King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark

Thinking of this, Ling Yun nodded secretly, quite satisfied with the reward.

Not to mention that after completing the second test of the Red Rank, all of his spirit rings will be upgraded again by 500 years. At that time, his first spirit ring will also be transformed into a thousand-year spirit ring, and his strength will be further enhanced.

"Brother Lingyun, what is this circular sea? Is it also on Seagod Island?" Shuiyue'er frowned as she looked at the second test and asked, puzzled.

"I don't know either. Let's go ask the High Priest."

Ling Yun shook his head. He only knew that the second test was to fight against the sea spirit beasts led by the Demon Soul Great White Shark King. As for where this ring-shaped sea was, he really didn't know.

"The Ring Sea is where Xiaobai and her people live."

Before everyone could set off for the Temple of Poseidon, Poseidon had already come to Ling Yun and the others' side and gave a brief explanation.

“Little White?” Shui Yue’er was taken aback upon hearing this, while Poseidon nodded slightly.

"That's right, Xiaobai is the guardian soul beast of Seagod Island. Her true form is a demon soul great white shark with 100,000 years of cultivation. Her strength is extremely terrifying. If she were in the sea, even the Seven Sacred Pillars wouldn't dare say they could definitely defeat her."

Furthermore, hundreds of Demon Soul Great White Sharks and other sea spirit beasts live near the ring-shaped sea. Breaking through their blockade without harming the sea spirit beasts is almost impossible.

Not to mention, you can't use soul skills during the assessment.

In the end, Poseidon frowned and looked at the crowd, as if doubting their ability to complete the second test.

But Ling Yun smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Priest, please take us to the Ring Sea. We have turned the impossible into reality many times before, and I believe this time will be no exception."

“Alright, then follow me.” Poseidon waved her hand and led the group to the east coast of Poseidon Island.

This is a beach with the sparkling sea in front of you. A gentle sea breeze blows, making everyone feel refreshed.

Meanwhile, in the sea, Lingyun also saw several large, jet-black sharks swimming freely in the ocean, their hard dorsal fins tearing the seawater apart like blades.

These great white sharks are the guardian spirit beasts of Seagod Island, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, and one of the three strongest sea spirit beasts.

Bang

Just then, a loud roar was heard, and a huge demonic great white shark burst out of the sea like a dragon.

Then, in a dazzling white light, she transformed into a fair-skinned, beautiful silver-haired girl who ran up to Poseidon with a cheerful smile and said sweetly.

"Lord Poseidon, what brings you here? And who are these people? They're all quite strong, reaching Soul Emperor level at such a young age, even more powerful than the geniuses of our Seagod Island, and..."

As they were talking, Xiaobai had already come up to Shui Bing'er and stared at her with great interest through his big, watery eyes.

"Why do I sense my master's presence on this little girl?"

"Little White! This young lady is the successor chosen by the Sea God. She must not be rude!"

"The master's successor?"

Xiao Bai was surprised to hear this, but then chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm a little rude. My master likes me very much, so he won't be angry with me for such a small thing."

"Since you are the successor chosen by the master, your purpose in coming to this ring-shaped sea must be to pass the nine trials of the sea god, right?"

“That’s right!” Shui Bing’er nodded. “Our mission is to cross the ring-shaped sea while being blocked by you and reach the ring-shaped island on the other side.”

"Oh? You want to reach the roundabout? That's interesting!" Little White raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a playful smile.

"Then you'd better do your best. Let me make this clear beforehand: I won't go easy on you just because you're the master's successor."

"Come out, everyone, it's time to entertain our guests!"

"Roar"

As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, the once calm sea surface instantly boiled, and at the same time, hysterical roars came from the seawater. Then, one after another, ferocious sea spirit beasts broke out of the sea.

First to bear the brunt were hundreds of demonic great white sharks, each with its mouth wide open, revealing sharp fangs, and roaring incessantly.

Following them came giant octopuses, giant crabs, giant sea snakes, and all sorts of other sea spirit beasts, which surfaced one after another. Black spirit power soared into the sky, indicating that these spirit beasts were at least ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts!

At this moment, nearly a thousand ancient sea spirit beasts were entrenched on the surface of the ring-shaped sea, occasionally letting out deafening roars at Ling Yun and the others.

Seeing this, Shui Yue'er was horrified and couldn't help but take a step back, exclaiming, "Are you kidding me? There are so many sea spirit beasts, at least nine hundred of them..."

"Lingyun, what should we do now? Can we really cross this ring-shaped sea?"

Even Huo Wu, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly and said softly, "It's really not a good situation. We can't use our soul skills, and my brother and I are both fire-attribute soul masters. Fighting on the sea will reduce our combat power to less than one-tenth."

"And although I can swim, swimming from the shore of Seagod Island to the other side is simply impossible, let alone facing so many sea spirit beasts."

Even the usually carefree Feng Xiaotian scratched his head in distress.

“This is indeed a difficult situation. If we were allowed to use soul skills, I could fly you over from the sky. But since we can’t use soul skills now, I’m at a loss. Brother Lingyun, do you have any ideas?”

"Hehe, of course! A bunch of sea spirit beasts are no match for me. Don't forget, we still have our trump card, which is Bing'er and the others' three-in-one martial spirit fusion skill!"

Ling Yun spoke with a smile, and as soon as he said this, Huo Wu and the others' eyes lit up. That's right, the use of soul skills is not allowed in the assessment, but it doesn't say that the use of martial soul fusion skills is not allowed.

At this moment, Ling Yun continued, "Sister Bing'er, you two can use the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique to fly over in a moment, and I will cover you from the side."

This test isn't difficult at all. As long as we're fast enough, Little White and the Sea Spirit Beast can't stop us!

"I understand!"

Shui Bing'er nodded emphatically, a fierce fighting spirit surging in her beautiful icy blue eyes.

Seeing this, Xiaobai smiled slightly, taking in the expressions of the others, and said with a laugh, "Hehe, it seems you've already discussed your tactics. Then let's officially begin the second test!"

In the blink of an eye, Xiaobai lightly pushed off with her legs and then leaped into the sea. In a flash of white light, she transformed into a giant shark over ten meters long.

And this is her true form, the Great White Shark King with a 100,000-year-old demonic soul.

Chapter 172 Facing Little White

Seeing Xiaobai reveal its true form, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in Ling Yun's eyes, and he shouted, "Sister Bing'er, take this opportunity to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"
