Fifth Soul Skill: Soul Guard

"You are such a madman!"

Sea Spear Douluo looked at Xia Yang's significantly improved Soul Power Level and sighed again.

"Haha, as the saying goes, if you are not crazy, you will not survive."

"If you practice step by step and follow the rules, your future achievements will ultimately be limited."

"If you want to reach the top, sometimes you have to use some unconventional means."

Xia Yang said half-jokingly, but with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you anything."

Sea Spear Douluo shook his head helplessly, brought the topic back to business, and said, "So, do you want to directly open Fourth God Exam next?"

"Fourth God Exam?"

Xia Yang frowned slightly when he heard this.

Immediately, he concentrated hard, put Mental Power into the golden trident brand on his forehead, and looked up the contents of Next Exam.

After a moment, he took back Mental Power, shook his head slowly, and said, "My Fourth God Examination is to assist Demon Soul Great White Shark to kill the hundred thousand year Evil Orca King..."

"Senior, with my current level fifty-six Soul Power, I'm afraid it's too risky to challenge a hundred thousand-year-old sea overlord."

"Not strong enough?"

Sea Spear Douluo seemed to suddenly remember something, clapped his hands suddenly, and reminded, "Wait! Boy, did you not receive the reward at all after completing First Three Exams?"

"Reward?"

Xia Yang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

In the past year, he had devoted himself wholeheartedly to trials, exercises and cultivation, and he had forgotten all about such important things!

"Oh! Mistake, what a huge mistake!"

"What have I been thinking about all day long?"

Xia Yang slapped his forehead in annoyance, with regret on his face.

"It's not too late to think about it now."

Sea Spear Douluo smiled and said, "You can claim the reward sometime."

"I have a hunch that after you receive the reward and practice for a while, you will be able to reach level 60 soon."

"At that time, as long as you get another Spirit Ring, you will be a genuine Soul Emperor."

He paused and continued his analysis, "By then, your two companions must have completed the Tidal Body Refinement assessment."

"The three of you are well prepared, and with the help of Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai, with your combined efforts, you may not have a chance to win that Evil Orca King."

"Senior, do you think too highly of me?"

Xia Yang himself couldn't believe it.

"Haha, kid, you underestimate yourself and the rewards given by Sea God."

Sea Spear Douluo smiled meaningfully and said, "Since you don't turn on Fourth Test yet, then there will be nothing wrong with me staying here."

"Besides, Sea Spear Holy Pillar still needs someone to be stationed there, so I'll take my leave first."

"As for you, you can walk around the island as you like, or you can go back to the location where you were tested before and continue practicing."

"It's up to you to decide what to do next."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sea Spear Douluo's figure flashed and turned into a stream of light and flew away through the air.

On the reef, only Xia Yang, who had just completed the absorption of Spirit Ring, and Tang Yuehua and Liu Erlong, who were still training in the rough waves, were left.

The sea breeze is howling and the waves are crashing on the shore, but their path of cultivation will continue.

At this moment, Tang Yuehua and Liu Erlong are still on the stone pillars in the sea, continuing to practice in the face of the rough waves.

Xia Yang stayed alone on the shore, carefully studying his newly acquired fifth Soul Skill.

He ran Soul Power, and the black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly emerged under his feet.

As Soul Skill activated, a golden stream of light flashed across Xia Yang's forehead.

Then, it quickly disappeared into his eyebrows.

Xia Yang immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, sinking his consciousness into Sea of Consciousness, and carefully observed the changes brought about by Soul Skill.

It turns out that the fifth Soul Skill is named "Soul Guard" and is a rare spiritual type Soul Skill.

However, the function of this Soul Skill is not actually for attack, but for defense.

The effect is to build a strong barrier in Xia Yang and Sea of Consciousness, specifically to resist various forms of mental shock.

To put it simply, as long as this barrier is not breached, Xia Yang and Spiritual Origin will not suffer any harm.

At this moment, in Xia Yang's Sea of Consciousness, a huge golden protective shield quickly formed, firmly protecting his entire consciousness space.

Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Black Ball, which originally occupied nearly half of the space of Sea of Consciousness, was pushed to the edge by this new barrier.

Of course, the black bead was obviously not willing to give up its original territory. It was still rushing left and right, trying to break through the golden barrier.

However, the protection formed by the Soul Skill "Soul Guard" is extremely tough. No matter how Black Ball collides with it, it still guards the spiritual world of Xia Yang.

So, after a futile struggle, Black Ball finally calmed down and stopped being restless.

"This God-given Soul Ring actually solved my long-standing mental problems in one fell swoop?"

Xia Yang couldn't hide his surprise and said in his heart, "God-given Soul Ring is truly worthy of its reputation. It can indeed perfectly meet the inner needs of Soul Master."

With the potential threat in his mind eliminated, Xia Yang felt like a big stone had fallen from his heart, and he felt much more relaxed.

So, Xia Yang opened his eyes and looked at the two girls in the sea who were still persisting in their cultivation. A smile could not help but appear on his lips.

In the following time, Xia Yang lit a bonfire on the shore and began to carefully prepare dinner.

He planned to wait for Tang Yuehua and Liu Erlong to get together after today's trial to celebrate his successful breakthrough.

At Nightfall, the two women finally jumped off the stone pillar.

The three of them sat around the campfire, toasted and drank together, and talked about their insights on cultivation and future plans.

Since being promoted to level 56 soul Queen, Xia Yang has not been in a hurry to open Fourth God Exam.

So, in the following days, he began a dedicated life of cultivation.

Xia Yang's training places are mainly in two places.

The first one is the sea area where Tang Yuehua and they are accepting Tidal Body Refinement at the moment.

The second one is the staircase where the three of them played the first game of Divine Exam.

In this way, Xia Yang went back and forth to practice in these two places day after day without slacking off at all.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed by.

In the past six months, in addition to practicing hard, Xia Yang also found time to receive the reward from First Three Exams.

Different from the rewards obtained by Tang San in the original work, perhaps due to the fusion of his unique Ice and Fire Attribute into Martial Soul, the rewards given by Sea God were not to improve Sea God Affinity, but to be replaced by two other types.

One of the rewards is to directly upgrade the level Soul Power.

So, after receiving all the rewards from the third exam, Xia Yang's Soul Power successfully reached level 59.

Coupled with the diligent practice over the past six months, his Soul Power is now firmly on the threshold of level 60.
