Sausage and Bread, From Shallow to Deep

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao arrived at the Ring Sea, while Tang Chen watched from the side.

Just then, a huge head emerged from the Ring Sea, and then with a flash of light, it transformed into a human form—it was none other than Little White, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai.

"Are you two preparing for the Black-Level Second Trial? Why don't you rest a little longer?" Xiao Bai asked.

However, as she spoke, she glanced at Tang Chen out of the corner of her eye, always harboring a sense of apprehension.

Because she could sense a trace of greed from these three people for her, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Even if the other party has hidden it very well.

However, she also knew that this was normal.

After all, she is a soul beast.

Even Xiao Bai suspected that if she weren't the guardian spirit beast of Sea God Island, she would have been killed by Tang Chen long ago.

Xiao Bai's thinking wasn't wrong, if she didn't have this identity.

Let alone Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji would also kill Xiao Bai without hesitation and give her Soul Ring and Spirit Bone to Bibi Dong or Yu Changge.

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's begin."

Tang Hao also said, "Rest? That's what the weak need."

Xiao Bai:... What's with the "a bit arrogant" thing?

Yu Changge:... Brother, your boldness is overwhelming, it's too bold.

Xiao Bai didn't say much more, "In that case, let's begin."

"You have a few requests regarding this Ring Sea, and I need to remind you of them."

"You are not allowed to use the Seventh Soul Skill, and you cannot kill any Sea Soul Beast."

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao nodded, indicating that they understood.

Both of their Seventh Soul Ring are currently grayed out, meaning they can't use any of them even if they wanted to.

This time, the two brothers also divided the resources to cross the Ring Sea.

Tang Xiao mainly faced Xiao Bai, while Tang Hao fought off the remaining Sea Soul Beast that surrounded them.

Although Tang Xiao is only Eighty-Third Rank, with his Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and two top-grade Spirit Bone, he should be able to hold out for a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai jumped back into the Ring Sea, reverted to its original form, and disappeared into the sea.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao released their Clear Sky Hammer in their right hands, exchanged a glance, and then rushed towards the Ring Sea.

With one foot landing on the sea surface, the recoil force propelled it forward with a thunderous roar, splashing up a large amount of water.

Here, Tang Xiao's forward speed was clearly much faster than Tang Hao's.

Upon closer inspection, a faint blue light could be seen shimmering around his left foot. This was the passive effect granted by his 50,000-year-old Left Leg Bone, allowing him to walk on waves.

This Left Leg Bone was obtained by Tang Chen from a 50,000-year-old Tidal Dragon Whale, and its quality is in no way inferior to a typical 70,000-year-old Spirit Bone.

but.

The Black-Level Trial has only just begun.

Xiao Bai's enormous head emerged, releasing a gray energy spike from its mouth, carrying the power of the ocean, and hurtling towards Tang Xiao.

The Demon Shark's Fang!

Facing Xiao Bai whose strength was comparable to Ninety-Fifth Rank or even 96, Tang Xiao dared not be careless at all.

His eighth Soul Ring rose up instantly.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Haotian - Mountain Collapse Earth Quelling!"

Immediately afterwards, the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Xiao's hand instantly grew several times larger, and then smashed down on the Demon Shark's Fang!

As it crashed down, the massive Clear Sky Hammer was accompanied by enormous, mountain-like phantoms, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere!

The two clashed, and for a moment they were evenly matched, with huge waves surging and sweeping away the Sea Soul Beast around them.

Of course, Tang Hao, who was standing to the side, was not spared either.

Xiao Bai snorted coldly, "As expected of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill, being able to withstand one-tenth of my Demon Shark's Fang is indeed very impressive."

Under normal circumstances, the Demon Shark's Fang Xiao Bai with all its might would not be just this one spike.

The Demon Shark's Fang she's using now is vastly different from the one she used in her previous battle against Yu Tianqing.

On her home turf, even the strongest of Bo Saixi's Five Great Lords would be no match for her in a one-on-one fight.

Tang Xiao, who had been somewhat smug, immediately changed his expression upon hearing these words.

However, they already knew this hurdle wouldn't be easy to overcome, so Tang Xiao was mentally prepared.

After being struck by the surging waves, Tang Hao quickly regained his balance. Two Soul Ring rose beneath him, instantly amplifying his power and causing the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand to grow several times larger.

Faced with the swarm of Demon Soul Great White Shark attacking him, Tang Hao successively used the Entangling Formula and the Sealing Formula from the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.

The core of the Entangling Formula is "Entangling Silk Whirlwind Force." Since he cannot kill these Demon Soul Great White Shark, he can only choose a gentler method of exerting force from the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.

The Sealing Formula" primarily involves drawing a bow with rage, sealing and solidifying force. After the Clear Sky Hammer strikes precisely, combined with other methods of exerting force, it ensures that while not killing these Demon Soul Great White Shark, it can also repel and stun them, temporarily weakening them.

On the shore, Tang Chen watched Tang Hao use the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and nodded in satisfaction.

The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes correspond to the nine ways of exerting force with the Clear Sky Hammer, which can be used to deal with various situations, but are extremely difficult to learn.

Within the Clear Sky Sect, not just any disciple can learn it; only direct disciples jointly recognized by the sect leader and elders are allowed to study it.

Tang Hao was actually quite at ease.

Although he was attacked by numerous Ten-Thousand-Year Level Demon Soul Great White Shark, he was still a top genius of this era.

As long as he can stand firmly on the Ring Sea, these Demon Soul Great White Shark pose little threat to him.

If one blow doesn't work, then try another.

However, this might be fine in the short term, but in the long run, it would consume a great deal of his Soul Power. After all, he doesn't have the ability to fight at sea, and to ride the waves would require a lot of Soul Power.

He doesn't have Soul Core to continuously replenish his Soul Power.

Three minutes passed quickly.

Tang Hao was still about halfway between the two shores of the Ring Sea.

Of course, Xiao Bai couldn't let these two pass on her first attempt; otherwise, what would become of her dignity as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

"Want to go over there?" Xiao Bai scoffed. "Impossible!"

"Despair Light Wave!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Bai unleashed a special mental attack from its mouth, rendering those attacked unable to move for a short period of time.

Upon seeing this, Tang Xiao's expression changed instantly, and his eighth Soul Ring rose up once more.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Haotian: Bright Mirror, Still Water!"

The next moment, Tang Xiao placed the Clear Sky Hammer in front of him, and the hammer emitted an invisible light blue ripple that enveloped Tang Xiao's entire body.

This Soul Skill has the effect of removing negative status effects, so Xiao Bai's Despair Light Wave cannot control him for the time being.

But this powerful Mental Shock alone was enough to give Tang Xiao a run for his money.

Tang Xiao continuously poured Soul Power into his eighth Soul Ring, and at this moment, his defensive power had undoubtedly reached the level of Titled Douluo.

But Xiao Bai's defensive Soul Skill, which are only at the initial level of title, are not something that can be blocked!

On the other hand, Tang Hao wasn't so lucky.

He also used his sixth Soul Skill, "Clear Sky Protection," with the Clear Sky Hammer's hammer body directly blocking the Mental Shock of the Despair Light Wave, while four hammer surfaces formed by Soul Power surrounded him, attempting to protect him.

But!

At the moment of contact, Tang Hao's Soul Power was already at its maximum, yet he was still directly knocked down into the Ring Sea by the Mental Shock.

Immediately afterwards, a 20,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark swung its tail and flung it onto the shore.

Tang Chen:...

Tang Xiao, after a minute of fierce fighting, was also defeated and was sent flying.

Tang Chen:...

"You two, you should practice more, is that all?" Xiao Bai's voice came over, and her figure disappeared into the ring.

Despite her seemingly relaxed demeanor, Xiao Bai was actually quite surprised.

Tang Xiao's strength was indeed formidable.

This time, it was a direct confrontation between the two, so it's quite normal for the other to lose.

However, if the other side attempts to traverse the Ring Sea in a roundabout manner in the coming period, the outcome becomes uncertain.

Tang Xiao looked helpless. "Grandfather, we failed."

Tang Chen said calmly, "That Demon Soul Great White Shark is quite strong. It's normal that you failed the first time, after all, you're not familiar with water combat."

"You have a year to learn how to conserve your Soul Power while navigating at sea, and how to maneuver around your opponents and avoid directly confronting their Soul Skill."

"Since the Sea God only assigned this test to the two of you, it means that with your abilities, you have a chance of passing!"

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao both responded with a "Yes".

They both initially thought that with their abilities, passing this hurdle should be relatively easy.

However, they still underestimated the leader of this Demon Soul Great White Shark.

On the other side...

Yu Changge and the others had also heard the news that Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had failed to clear the level, so they were not surprised.

Although Xiao Bai's strength is not comparable to that of the Evil Orca King, that does not mean she is weak.

How weak can Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that possesses a domain be?

soon.

A month has passed.

Neither Yu Changge nor Bibi Dong went to the Ring Sea during this month.

Instead, they rested and recovered properly, and spent most of their time together.

Sometimes I research how to use a black stockings knee pillow, and facial cleansers that help with facial cleansing.

Sometimes, I even research Western breakfasts, such as two slices of red bean bread that are just the right size to wrap a sausage, paired with a cup of freshly baked hot milk.

Of course, the fact that the two of them were together doesn't mean they weren't cultivating.

They will perform the normal daily meditation as required.

This combination of work and rest has greatly enhanced their relationship.

This day.

Yu Changge and Bibi Dong also felt that it was about time to refer to the Second Sea God Trial and the Third Trial of the Asura.

After a full month of rest, the two of them had never felt so refreshed.

"Oh."

Yu Tianqing looked at the two who came out hand in hand and teased, "Finally decided to participate in the assessment?"

"You brat, how much dog food have you fed us in the past month?"

Yu Changge smiled slightly, "Dad, you're just envious. You're envious that I have such a girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong turned her head away shyly.

Although they made some inappropriate attempts during this month and their relationship warmed up considerably, it was all done in private.

She gets shy when teased in public.

Moreover, the reason they haven't broken through the final hurdle isn't because their feelings for each other are bad, but because they feel the timing isn't quite right.

Yu Changge, however, didn't think much of it; what's the point of achieving everything in one step?

This ambiguous, gradual process of "training" is what makes it so exciting and interesting.

As they delve deeper into the story, eventually, both he and Bibi Dong will... be unable to resist.

Once the valve is opened, what follows is a torrent of water pouring out.

Soon, Yu Changge and Bibi Dong arrived at the Ring Sea.

On the way there, he also discussed with Bibi Dong how to pass this test quickly and efficiently.

The first time they face the test is when Xiaobai and his Xiao Bai are most likely to let their guard down, and that's when their chances of passing are highest.

This test wasn't about their ability to fight the Demon Soul Great White Shark swarm head-on, but rather how they could maneuver around the Ring Sea without harming these soul beasts.

Yu Changge would be quite happy to avoid direct conflict.

After all, if a real fight broke out, with his current abilities, although he might not be able to defeat Xiao Bai, the Soul Power fluctuations he unleashed would most likely cause those Demon Soul Great White Shark with lower cultivation levels to perish.

Upon seeing the two approaching, Xiao Bai transformed back into human form and jumped ashore.

"You two have finally decided to come and take the test."

They had met Xiao Bai a few times during the past month, so they were fairly familiar with each other.

Yu Changge smiled and said, "After resting for so long, it's about time."

"Let's begin then," said Xiao Bai.

He then submerged back into the water.

Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and the others watched from the sidelines. In the past month, they had tried to clear the level at least twenty times, but they still felt that they were missing something.

However, neither of them believed that Yu Changge and Bibi Dong could clear the level in one go.

Yu Changge's cultivation level was indeed higher than the other two, but Yu Changge was restricted from using the Radiant Dragon King Martial Soul, and he couldn't even use his Spirit Bone, which greatly reduced his strength.

But at that moment, they saw that Yu Changge's body was emitting a dazzling silver-white light, and his aura suddenly surged.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed Bibi Dong's right hand, spun it around a few times, and like throwing a shot put, launched Bibi Dong directly towards the opposite bank.

Bibi Dong also released Eight Spider Lances in the air, adjusting the angle of the eight spider legs on her back to make her appear to glide through the air.

Immediately afterwards, he unleashed his Death Domain.

The moment she threw it, Yu Changge pushed off with both feet and charged forward.

"Thinking you can clear the level this easily is far too simplistic!" With a command from Xiao Bai, several Demon Soul Great White Shark burst out of the water, baring their enormous fangs, and charged towards Bibi Dong.
