About to Leave

Yu Mingxiao hadn't expected the Sea God to back down and admit defeat so easily. He had already used his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but his opponent had stopped fighting, leaving him feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

Since the Sea God had taken the initiative to stop, he couldn't continue to pester him. He immediately withdrew his Martial Soul Fusion Skill, suppressed his aura, and dispersed his domain.

The once turbulent sea gradually returned to calm.

The Sea God suddenly spoke, "Do you remember our promise?"

Yu Mingxiao was silent for a moment, then said, "Shall I find you a successor to the Sea God's throne?"

"You were originally the most suitable successor to me, but since your ambitions lie elsewhere, I will not force you."

The Sea God sighed softly, then suddenly changed the subject. "I think you and Bo Saixi are a perfect match. Why don't you marry her? Your children will then inherit my divine Godhood."

Yu Mingxiao was taken aback, not expecting the Sea God to suddenly propose marriage. He subconsciously turned to look at Bo Saixi.

After spending so much time together, Yu Mingxiao had also developed feelings for Bo Saixi.

Although the other person was much older than him, her appearance was still stunningly beautiful. Moreover, in this fantasy world, the age difference was not an obstacle.

Upon hearing Sea God's words, even though he was used to storms and waves, Bo Saixi couldn't help but feel embarrassed and awkward.

Seeing that the two remained silent, the Sea God spoke up, "Why are you both so quiet? Yu Mingxiao, you promised me you would help me find a successor to the Sea God."

"I see that you two have feelings for each other, so you should get together."

Seeing Bo Saixi lower her head and remain silent, Yu Mingxiao had already guessed her thoughts. He sighed inwardly and said softly:

"Sea God, I do love Bo Saixi, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stay on Sea God Island for much longer."

Sea God pondered for a moment and said, "It's alright. As long as you two are in love, you don't need to be together all the time."

"As a reward for this trial, I will give you something special. From now on, you will serve as the Honorary Priest of my Sea God Island."

"You don't need to feel burdened. This is just an empty title, a way for you to establish a connection with Sea God Island. You don't need to bear any responsibility."

Upon hearing that the position would not involve any responsibility, Yu Mingxiao thought for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement, "No problem, then I will accept this title. Since I have accepted the benefits you gave me, I will also keep my promise."

"Hahaha, great!"

Sea God smiled and casually tossed his trident into the air, sending it flying directly towards the Sea God Temple. He gradually became blurred and disappeared from the spot.

"The Seventh Trial: Head to the eastern coast. If you pass, the reward is an increase of five thousand years in the age of all your Soul Ring."

"The Eighth Trial: Challenge the Sea God. Survive against Him for the duration of an incense stick burning. If you exceed the test's requirements, the reward is: all your Soul Ring will have their age increased by 50,000 years, External Soul Bone will have their age increased by 100,000 years! A Sea Millennium Flower."

Two notification sounds rang out in succession.

A massive golden pillar of light enveloped Yu Mingxiao once more, and nine Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet. Two External Soul Bone were also revealed, bathed in golden light, increasing his lifespan.

These are all Faith Power. Soul Ring and Spirit Bone that have absorbed this power not only have their lifespan increased, but their quality is also improving.

At the same time, the eight-pointed star on Yu Mingxiao's forehead gradually disappeared as the sound rang out.

This means that Yu Mingxiao has passed all the tests.

Bo Saixi walked slowly to his side and gazed at him quietly. The Sea God's words had just revealed his feelings, and she already knew in her heart that Yu Mingxiao had feelings for her.

And she, too, harbored feelings of love for Yu Mingxiao...

However, given the age difference between them, if they were of similar age, Bo Saixi would probably have already taken the initiative to express her feelings.

The golden beam of light gradually dissipated, and the scene returned to calm.

The other six Soul Ring under Yu Mingxiao's feet all had an additional golden pattern, which was a symbol that the Soul Ring had reached 200,000 years!

The Eighth Trial of the Sea God directly increased the age of his Soul Ring by 50,000 years. With the rewards from the previous trials added up, the age of his first six Soul Ring has now all exceeded 200,000 years!

Before the last ray of golden light dissipated, a strange plant fell to the ground.

"Sea Millennium Flower?"

Yu Mingxiao looked closely and saw that the Immortal Herb was clear and blue all over, with two large leaves whose edges were naturally broken and spread out, resembling an octopus, and several bright red flowers clustered in the center of the root.

Their appearance wasn't exactly ugly, but it certainly wasn't good-looking either.

He picked up the medicine casually.

Before the assessment ended, a reminder was given that the drug's effects had been explained.

Taking it will instantly grant you adulthood, lasting for twelve hours, and will also slightly enhance your physical body.

This slight increase in physical strength might have little effect on him; frankly, this medicinal plant might only have the function of temporarily reaching adulthood.

It's hard to describe how it can only temporarily transform into an adult form; perhaps it's like Nezha transforming from a little demon into an adult.

However, despite absorbing so many Soul Ring, his appearance was actually no different from that of an eighteen-year-old boy.

However, since he hasn't actually turned eighteen yet, it's likely that taking this medicine hasn't changed his appearance much.

It's unclear where the Sea God obtained the strange medicine.

Silently putting away the herbs, Yu Mingxiao said, "Bo Saixi, my Top-level Eight Trials is over."

Bo Saixi's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had seen through his thoughts, and she spoke softly, "You're planning to leave?"

Yu Mingxiao remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. "All good things must come to an end. I only came to Sea God Island for training, and there will always be a day when I leave. In the end, I am not a person of the island."

"When do you plan to leave Sea God Island?" Bo Saixi pressed, her tone even somewhat urgent.

Yu Mingxiao met her gaze, a smile appearing on his face, "Are you reluctant to part with me?"

"I... I..."

Bo Saixi's mind went blank for a moment. Although she was Limit Douluo, she had never experienced love and romance, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. After a long while, she finally whispered, "Yes, I don't want you to leave."

Yu Mingxiao sighed softly, "Since you've put it that way, then I'll stay on Sea God Island a little longer."

"Okay, let's go back." Bo Saixi smiled and took Yu Mingxiao's hand.

Yu Mingxiao blinked slightly, letting her lead him back to the Sea God Temple.

For a whole month, besides cultivating, he would occasionally spar with Bo Saixi. Both of them deliberately held back and did not use their full strength.

On this day, Yu Mingxiao instructed Bo Saixi, Church her the method of Isotopic Resonance, which helped her successfully condense her second Soul Core.

Isotopic Resonance involves condensing two Soul Core in the same dantian and making them rotate at the same frequency and in the same direction, which is much simpler than Yin-Yang Complementary.

Before Huo Yuhao appeared in the Douluo II, all the Limit Douluo on the continent obtained their Second Soul Core in this way.

Bo Saixi condensed Second Soul Core, and his normal strength increased again. He was even more grateful to Yu Mingxiao, and his gaze towards him was full of tenderness.
