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

"it is good."

Shui Bing'er nodded gently, then grabbed Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu's hands. A dazzling ice-blue light shot into the sky, and the three martial souls instantly merged and condensed into a giant ice phoenix.

As their cultivation levels continued to rise, the Ice Phoenix grew larger and larger. Now, the Ice Phoenix is ​​over thirty meters tall and has a wingspan of over sixty meters.

It exuded a chilling aura that even froze the seawater on the shore, sending shivers down one's spine.

Upon seeing the enormous ice phoenix, Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and said with interest, "Oh? Interesting? This is the first time I've ever seen a three-in-one martial soul fusion skill in all these years. As expected of the successor chosen by the master, let me see what kind of strength this ice phoenix has."

As Xiaobai muttered to herself, Lingyun spoke up again: "Sister Huowu, Senior Feng, both of you stand on the Ice Phoenix and fly at full speed to the opposite circular island. Sister Bing'er and I will cover you."

"no problem."

Huo Wu and the other two smiled slightly, then climbed onto the back of the Ice Phoenix together. Under Shui Bing'er's control, the Ice Phoenix flapped its wings and soared into the air, transforming into a streak of blue light and heading straight for the ring-shaped sea opposite.

At the same time, Ling Yun also immediately unfolded the Wings of the Evil God and flew towards the circular island with the Ice Phoenix.

"Hmph, trying to break through from the sky? Not stupid, but too bad you've miscalculated. Come on, shoot them down."

"Hooho"

At Xiaobai's command, the surrounding sea spirit beasts roared to the sky and unleashed their ranged attack skills to strike at Lingyun.

In an instant, water blades, water arrows, high-pressure water guns, venom, and poisonous mist came one after another like a storm.

Seeing the dense barrage of attacks, Ling Yun felt a sense of unease.

"Good timing! Soul Bone Skill: Evil God's Protection."

The Wings of the Evil God flashed with a cold light, and then a strange evil wind enveloped everyone's bodies. Subsequently, various attacks struck the barrier incessantly, producing a series of crisp "bang bang bang" sounds.

However, faced with Ling Yun's 100,000-year-old soul bone skill, the attacks of these 10,000-year-old soul beasts failed to cause them any damage.

Upon seeing this, Shui Bing'er also smiled.

"Hehe, me too, Frost Breath."

As the phoenix cried out, a biting gust of cold wind burst forth as the ice phoenix opened its mouth, sweeping towards the sea spirit beasts.

However, Shui Bing'er did not attack the sea spirit beasts; she simply froze the water arrows and venom they spat out into ice blocks before accelerating toward the circular island.

"You do have some skill, but don't think I can't do anything to you just because of that!"

Xiao Bai chuckled softly, then flicked its tail and burst out of the sea, leaping over a hundred meters high and opening its blood-red maw, revealing countless sharp fangs as it fiercely bit at Ling Yun and the others.

"what!"

Everyone was shocked to see this, clearly no one expected that Xiaobai, as a sea spirit beast, could jump so high.

While everyone was still in shock, Xiao Bai's fangs had already slammed heavily into Ling Yun's evil wind barrier, producing a loud bang. The enormous bite force actually tore the barrier apart, and then it charged towards Shui Bing'er at an undiminished speed.

Bang

Just as Xiaobai's massive body was about to crash into Shui Bing'er, Ling Yun reacted swiftly, immediately appearing in front of Shui Bing'er and raising his arms to block Xiaobai's self-sacrificing impact.

Although he didn't transform, he still managed to block Xiaobai's attack thanks to the top-tier soul bones in his arms, and at the same time, he turned around and shouted.

"Sister Bing'er, you guys go first. Fly to the circular island as fast as you can. I'll take care of Senior Xiaobai!"

"Alright, Lingyun, I'll leave this to you!"

Without hesitation, Shui Bing'er controlled the Ice Phoenix to fly at full speed toward the circular island.

Seeing Shui Bing'er about to run away, Xiao Bai's pupils shrank instantly, and he shouted, "Don't run away, little sister, play with me a little longer! Demon Shark Fang!"

As he spoke, Xiao Bai opened his blood-red maw, and thousands of fangs shot out from it like a barrage of arrows, heading straight for Shui Bing'er and the others.

Fang was fast, but Ling Yun was even faster. In a flash, he blocked Shui Bing'er and the others from behind, while his right arm emitted golden light.

"Soul Bone Skill: Tiger's Roar in the Mountains!"

In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun clenched his right fist and threw a punch. Accompanied by a flash of golden light, an invisible sonic boom shot out with the force of the punch, blowing away all the attacking fangs.

At the same time, he said with high spirits, "Senior Xiaobai, with me here, you won't catch up with Sister Bing'er and the others!"

"Hmph, you're just a lowly Soul Douluo, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me? Then let me show you my true power! Demon Shark Domain."

As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Xiaobai naturally possesses its own innate domain. Suddenly, the surrounding seawater boiled, and then a giant wave surged into the sky, as if a pair of giant hands were supporting Xiaobai's enormous body, allowing Xiaobai, who could not fly, to walk on air.

This is the power of the Shark Domain, which allows Xiaobai to freely control the seawater, thereby greatly enhancing her combat power.

"It's just a domain? I have one too! Killing God Domain, activate!"

As Xiaobai unleashed her domain, Lingyun also activated his Killing God Domain, causing his aura to surge dramatically. Meanwhile, Xiaobai's aura instantly dropped by 30%, resulting in a significant decrease in his strength.

"What kind of domain is this? How can it restrict my combat power?"

Just as Xiaobai was surprised, Lingyun flapped his wings and transformed into a streak of light, flying at high speed. Then, he clenched his fist and punched Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai was accidentally hit by a fist the size of a sandbag. Despite her enormous size, Ling Yun's strength was terrifying, and the power of the punch even made her feel a bit of pain.

Just as Ling Yun and Xiao Bai were locked in combat, Shui Bing'er had already controlled the Ice Phoenix to fly towards the circular island, while underwater, hundreds of sea spirit beasts unleashed their ranged attack spirit skills to assault the group.

Without Lingyun's protection as an evil god, the Ice Phoenix was quickly struck by the barrage of attacks, and its massive body, along with Shui Bing'er and the others on its back, plummeted toward the sea.

Seeing this, Shuiyue screamed in terror, crying out in panic, "Sister, sister, we've been shot down! What do we do now?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You can all rest assured. Vast Ocean Universe Cover Divine Skill: Vast Ocean Raging Waves!"

The trident mark on her forehead flashed again, and Shui Bing'er released her soul power, creating a huge wave.

Huge waves crashed against the sea spirit beasts, forcing them to retreat in all directions.

At the same time, Shui Bing'er slapped the Ice Phoenix on the back, controlling it to stabilize its body. Then, using the giant waves stirred up by the raging sea, it glided at high speed through the spray, before flapping its wings and taking off again.

Chapter 173, Second Test Completed, Mental Strength Enhanced

After taking to the sky, the trident mark on Shui Bing'er's forehead flashed again, then emitted soft waves of light that enveloped Shui Yue'er, Huo Wu, and the others behind her, along with the ice phoenix beneath her feet.

"Divine Skill of Vast Ocean Universe Cover: Vast Ocean Protective Shield!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the group entered a state of invisibility. Sunlight pierced through their bodies, and for a moment, they could no longer be seen in the sky.

As the group went invisible, the sea spirit beasts instantly lost their target and were at a loss, only able to randomly unleash their skills into the sky like headless flies.

These skills, whose targets were uncertain, naturally failed to hit Shui Bing'er and the others. She controlled the ice phoenix and flew straight towards the circular island, without any obstacles along the way.

In just one minute, the group arrived at the circular island and revealed their figures, which also meant that they had completed the second test and only Lingyun was left to complete.

Meanwhile, Ling Yun, who had been keeping an eye on Shui Bing'er and the others, naturally saw that they had appeared on the circular island and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Hehe, my friends have already completed this assessment, only I am left to do it."

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be so strong. You're just a lowly Soul Douluo, yet you managed to fight me to a draw without using any Soul Skills!"

Seeing Shui Bing'er and the others appear on the circular island, Xiao Bai's heart sank. She never expected that she would be held back by Ling Yun alone.

But now that things have come to this, she absolutely cannot let Ling Yun complete the assessment so easily, otherwise where would she put her face as the guardian spirit beast of Seagod Island?

"Since that little girl is already standing on the roundabout, then you can stay here, Sharp Water Blade!"

swish swish

As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, a piercing sound of air being torn apart came from the front. Suddenly, she made her move, and thin and sharp water blades shot out from the waves and rushed towards Lingyun at an extremely fast speed.

The dense, overwhelming mass resembled a violent storm, threatening to shatter Lingyun.

"Is she angry? But these little tricks won't work on me."

Ling Yun smiled slightly, then gathered his soul power, and the Wings of the Evil God on his back also emitted a black stream of light.

"Soul Bone Skill: Evil God's Protection!"

In the blink of an eye, a barrier of evil wind enveloped his body, blocking all the incoming water blades.

However, these water blades were merely a feint by Xiaobai. The instant Lingyun condensed the evil wind barrier, an invisible mental shock shot out from Xiaobai's eyes, like two invisible arrows that shot straight into Lingyun's brain.

And this is one of Xiaobai's signature moves, the Despair Beam!

After unleashing her skill, Xiaobai unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, thinking to herself: My Despair Wave is invisible and can ignore any defense. You brat, give me a splitting headache and then fall into the sea. My test is not so easy to pass.

"Is this a psychological shock?"

After blocking all the water blades, Ling Yun felt a mental fluctuation and instantly became alert.

Xiao Bai's despair light wave was invisible and intangible, but that was only true for others. Ling Yun had consumed the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water and absorbed the cultivation of the Wisdom Skull of Spiritual Condensation. He was also an eight-ring Soul Douluo, so his spiritual power was incredibly strong.

He can detect any mental attack released by anyone who is not a god-level expert.

"Since it's a mental attack, let's try this! Soul Bone Skill: Mental Pulse!"

As he spoke, the condensed spiritual skull that was constantly flashing with light appeared on Ling Yun's forehead. Then, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he also shot out two spiritual shocks that collided with Xiao Bai's despair light wave.

Bang

There were no sparks, and the sky remained a clear blue. However, after the two extremely powerful mental attacks collided, a terrifying shockwave truly erupted, triggering a series of deafening sonic booms that made people instinctively cover their ears.

At the same time, the evil god's wings on Ling Yun's back trembled violently, fluttering in the wind, and like a streak of light, they went straight to Xiao Bai. The muscles on his left arm bulged slightly and shimmered with an earthy yellow light.

Seeing this, Xiaobai's pupils shrank, thinking that Lingyun was about to use some powerful skill. She immediately condensed layers of sturdy water shields to block Lingyun's next attack.

But Ling Yun raised the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Senior Little White, I'm not playing with you anymore. Soul Bone Skill: Gravity Mud Swamp!"

With that, Lingyun flapped its wings and flew toward the circular island.

"What? Don't run!"

Xiao Bai was surprised and was about to chase after him, but at that moment, she was horrified to find that she could not move. It was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on her, making her unable to move.

"What... what kind of move is this?"

Xiao Bai cursed under her breath and kept exerting force, trying to break free from the constraints of gravity. But the more she struggled, the heavier the gravity around her felt, as if she were in a swamp, and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Gravity Swamp; with the enhancement of the Killing God Domain, the gravity within the swamp is more than forty times stronger.

Just as Xiaobai was pondering how to escape the gravity swamp, Lingyun had already flown to the circular island and stood with Shui Bing'er. Thus, the second test for the group was successfully completed in less than a day.

"Hmph, you brat, just you wait!"

Seeing that Ling Yun and the others were all standing on the circular island, Xiao Bai knew he had failed and couldn't help but utter a harsh remark, filled with impotent rage.

"Hehe, if Senior Xiaobai wants to spar, you can come find me anytime, but I will use my soul skills then."

Ling Yun smiled easily. If he could use his soul skills, he could defeat an opponent of Xiao Bai's level in less than ten minutes.

After teasing Xiaobai a few times, Lingyun led Shui Bing'er and the others back to Poseidon Island and found Poseidon. Poseidon was also surprised to see them complete the second test so quickly.
