The Preparation for Xiao Bai and Ye Qiu to Cultivate Together

The two shores of the Ring Sea were only a little over two hundred meters apart.

Ye Qiu had already crossed one-tenth of the way. The opposite shore was still 180 meters away.

On land, he could cover that distance in the blink of an eye.

But although he had just defeated the Arrowfish, the remaining 180 meters clearly wouldn't be easy to cross. With a flash, Ye Qiu vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he had moved nearly five meters forward. He hadn't used Xiao Wu's Instant Transmission Soul Skill, but his own spatial ability. After all, Xiao Wu's Instant Transmission only covered five meters. It might be nearly unstoppable in low-level battles, but in fights between high-level Soul Masters, it was less impressive. Once a high-level Soul Master activated their Martial Soul Avatar, even a casual skill could cover that distance.

But...

When Ye Qiu reappeared in the sea, his expression turned rather complicated.

He finally understood that the strange energy in the seawater did more than weaken Ning Rongrong's boosts and suppress his Soul Power. On land, Ye Qiu's spatial transfer could take him anywhere within a hundred meters. That was beyond the range of Xiao Wu's Soul Skill.

The energy restricting him in the seawater probably also targeted skills like teleportation and acceleration. It wasn't going to give anyone taking the trial a chance to take shortcuts.

Just as Ye Qiu was mulling over the
