Speedrunning Two Trials
"This training speed is already quite fast, but unfortunately it's still far behind Bulbasaur's experience feedback."
Qing Mu shook her head slightly and said.
This increase in cultivation speed is essentially achieved by utilizing the pressure of the Sea God's Light on the body, causing the Soul Power within the body to circulate rapidly on its own, thereby absorbing surrounding energy to strengthen itself.
However, his body will become stronger, and the transformation of his body by the Sea God's Light will also rapidly reduce the pressure around him.
He's already close to reaching the summit, so the Sea God's Light's effect on his cultivation is negligible.
About half an hour later, Qing Mu and Venusaur got up again and walked upwards.
After climbing a few steps, Qing Mu and Venusaur stopped and continued to let the Sea God's Light transform their bodies.
And so, Qing Mu and Venusaur walked and stopped intermittently, and soon arrived at the thousandth step, only a step away from Bo Saixi in front of the Sea God Hall.
A moment later, Qing Mu and Venusaur took the final step, and all the pressure on their bodies instantly dissipated. A dazzling golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Qing Mu and Venusaur.
Instantly, Qing Mu's fatigue from climbing the 1001 steps vanished, and she felt refreshed.
After feeling refreshed, Qing Mu looked at the Venusaur beside her and noticed that Venusaur had undergone some changes. The edges of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot on its back were now tinged with a faint gold.
Through the connection with Venusaur, Qing Mu could clearly understand the thoughts of these two Immortal Herb.
"Ah, this feels so good~"
"I feel like I'm about to evolve."
Qing Mu stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "It seems Venusaur can continue to evolve. Although Venusaur mainly relies on the Wood Attribute, it actually possesses four types now: Wood, Poison, Ice, and Fire. If we add the Water type from Sea God Venusaur, that makes five types."
After multiple evolutions, Venusaur is no longer the same species as the original Venusaur, let alone the Venusaur that has combined three forms: Terastallization, Mega Evolution, and Gigantamax.
Even if you brought a species of Venusaur, they wouldn't recognize it as Venusaur.
At the same time, a somewhat majestic voice rang in Qing Mu's mind. "The Sea God's First Trial, Transcending the Complete Sea God's Light, Exceeding Expectations."
The reward is a 10% increase in Sea God Affinity; the current Sea God Affinity is 10%!
In an instant, a sliver of blue light shone from the Sea God Trident of Venusaur's head. This blue light continuously transformed Venusaur's body, making its pale gold color even more pronounced.
At the same time, Qing Mu could also feel the changes in his body, and it was clear that the modifications made to Venusaur were also having a positive effect on him.
At this moment, Bo Saixi walked up to Qing Mu and said to him, "Congratulations, Qing Mu, you have passed the first test of the Sea God."
"It's just the first test, nothing to worry about. Besides, with my current strength, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I couldn't even pass the first test?"
Qing Mu waved her hand dismissively.
Then, Qing Mu quickly flew to the edge of the island, ready to begin the second test for Venusaur.
With Venusaur's current strength, even if there are rules restricting its use of Soul Ring and Soul Skill, a mere 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark and a group of Thousand-Year Sea Soul Beast would naturally be unable to stop it.
The only difficulty is not being able to kill the Sea Soul Beast, but this is still not a big problem for Venusaur.
Nine Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, gold-red, gold-red, and crimson gold—appeared around Qing Mu. Then, Qing Mu's First Soul Ring lit up, and the seaweed on the seabed of the entire circular lake began to grow wildly.
Yes, Venusaur inherited the Sea God Divine Position. The rules state that the heir cannot use Soul Ring skills. What is Qing Mu's relationship with this?
The moment Qing Mu used Grassy Terrain, Venusaur also moved.
From the center of the flower on Venusaur's back, a thick burst of green powder shot out. This powder drifted with the wind and quickly merged into the entire Ring Sea.
A moment later, countless Sea Soul Beast, including the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark, slowly Levitate to the surface of the sea.
That's right, this is the Sleep Powder that Venusaur hasn't used in a long time. With Venusaur's current level, even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would fall asleep instantly after coming into contact with the Sleep Powder!
As for why Venusaur can use Sleep Powder, let me ask you, is Sleep Powder Soul Ring skill?
With the Sleep Powder rendering the Sea Soul Beast within the Ring Sea incapable of resistance, and the Grassy Terrain continuously healing the sea Sea Soul Beast Sea Soul Beast within the Ring Sea to ensure their survival, Qing Mu and Venusaur passed the second trial almost instantly.
The moment she passed through the Ring Sea, the voice of the Sea God appeared in Qing Mu's mind once again.
"The Sea God's Second Trial: break through the Ring Sea blockade without killing any Sea Soul Beast. If this is achieved beyond the target, the reward is a 10% increase in Sea God affinity and a 1,000-year increase in the age of all Soul Ring."
The next moment, Qing Mu felt his first and Second Spirit Ring change from yellow to purple.
Qing Mu looked at the first and Second Spirit Ring, which had changed color, and nodded slightly, saying, "The lifespan has been increased by a thousand years? That's fine."
Although Venusaur's Soul Ring Pokémon mechanics are dominant, this doesn't mean that the Soul Ring's age is completely useless; it still has some use.
Then, Qing Mu and Venusaur were surrounded by a blue light, and in a Teleport, they arrived in front of the somewhat stunned Bo Saixi, saying, "Bo Saixi- senpai, please take me to the Third Trial area."
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm!
Sea God Hall, Poseidon watched Qing Mu's actions, his lips twitching slightly.
Qing Mu passed the first two tests he had originally set as if it were a joke, which made him, the Sea God, lose face!
But after thinking for a while, Poseidon shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, let it be. Anyway, he probably won't be able to speed-pass the Third Trial, the Tidal Body Tempering."
If things develop as he anticipated, and Qing Mu inherits the Sea God Divine Position as expected, he will definitely redesign the assessment to match Qing Mu's strength.
Given the current situation, since he has already passed on the Divine Position to a frog, there's no need to redesign the assessment.
As for the so-called "face" of the Sea God, that was already lost when he decided to pass on his Divine Position to a frog.
Now Poseidon only hopes that the test for the Divine Position Inheritance can proceed smoothly and that no one will cause trouble, so that he can Sea God Divine Position Inheritance.
In this way, he can carry buckets and run errands, escape the prison of the Divine Realm, and regain his freedom.
To achieve this goal, some minor setbacks along the way are tolerable.
