Ever since Tang Hao arrived in Sea God City, the Shrek group had been able to breathe a little easier.
Sea God City had many Titled Douluos. Counting some of the hundred-thousand-year sea soul beasts that lived there permanently, their numbers reached the double digits.
Even with Tang Hao's arrival, Shrek still could not compare, but at least they now had a Titled Douluo backing them.
For common-born soul masters like Ma Hongjun and Oscar in particular, Titled Douluos were practically gods.
Although Tang Hao could not directly help them complete their god trials—that was a firm restriction of the trials—there was no way he would simply stand aside and do nothing.
"The tide's power is rigid. People aren't." Tang Hao's gravelly voice cut through the sea breeze and struck Tang San's ears.
He nudged a pebble with his toe, pointing out the key to the god trial.
"Don't try to force your hammer against it. Water benefits all things without competing with them. Find its flow, then use the hidden force of Chaotic Cloak to deflect its power."
Tang San opened his eyes and immediately adjusted the arc of his six-edged Clear Sky Hammer. Sure enough, the resistance that had felt crushingly heavy instantly diminished.
Tang Hao was exploiting a loophole in the rules.
He was using his decades of combat experience to help these young people find clever shortcuts.
Although the Titled Douluos of Sea God City occasionally grumbled about it, as long as Tang Hao did not directly use soul power to interfere with their progress—or the Sea God himself chose to turn a blind eye—no one could fault him.
With Tang Hao's covert guidance, the Shrek group's pace through the trials was steadily improving.
