Battle Against Three Saint Pillar Douluo!

The blazing sun hung high in the sky, its light shining down on the sea as though it had gilded the entire expanse of water.

The once-calm surface suddenly exploded with a bang, sending spray flying everywhere.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Water Manipulation!"

Huang Long spread his golden wings, and the fourth soul ring on his body radiated a dazzling light.

In an instant, all the moisture in the surrounding air was stripped out and turned into bean-sized droplets that hovered around him.

"Water Bullets!"

With a sweep of his hand, the droplets shot forward in rapid succession!

Sea Dragon Douluo dove down, crossing his hands before himself to block the dense barrage of water droplets.

Sea Ghost Douluo, meanwhile, lightly tapped the sea with his toes and swiftly retreated.

Sea Maiden Douluo played her demon flute and circulated the soul power within her body.

"Second Soul Skill, Sound Barrier!"

The moment the Sea Demon Flute sounded, countless sound waves surged forth, forming a transparent sonic barrier before her that blocked the water bullets.

After blocking all the attacks, Sea Maiden Douluo immediately activated her fourth soul ring.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Enthralling Illusory Sound."

She played the Sea Demon Flute once more. Bands of colorful sound waves swiftly spread outward, forming a unique multicolored sound domain over the sea.

Huang Long knew how formidable this colorful sound domain was. Once enveloped by it, one would lose their hearing.

So he did not dare charge straight in. Before the music could reach him, he beat his wings and soared into the sky.

Yet just as he took flight, Sea Dragon Douluo suddenly appeared before him.

"Holy Son, in battle, you cannot focus only on what is in front of you. You must watch in all directions and listen to everything around you. I taught you that."

As he spoke, he raised his massive fist and smashed it heavily toward Huang Long!

The force of the punch howled, compressing the surrounding air until it let out continuous explosive booms!

Huang Long's pupils contracted slightly. With a wave of his hand, he condensed a wall of water before himself.

The next second, there was a crisp bang.

The water wall exploded before him, and the surging shockwave sent him flying.

Though that exchange had left him somewhat disheveled, he had at least blocked Sea Dragon's punch.

Just as Huang Long breathed a sigh of relief, a vast cloud of purple poisonous mist had somehow spread beneath his feet.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Illusory Poison Miasma."

Sea Ghost Douluo suddenly appeared behind him and said with a light chuckle, "Holy Son, please watch your step."

Huang Long's heart tightened, and he swiftly activated his third soul ring.

"Third Soul Skill, Wind Manipulation!"

"Wind Pressure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mass of azure wind element gathered between his hands, continuously compressing forward.

The instant it was compressed to its limit, the mass of wind element exploded outward in every direction with him at its center.

With a whoosh.

The howling gale blasted apart all the purple poisonous mist surrounding him!

Seeing this, Sea Ghost Douluo could not help but nod in praise. "Compressing the intense pressure within the wind to its utmost limit before releasing it—Holy Son, that move of yours really is impressive."

"Thank you for the praise, Uncle Sea Ghost, but I won't be holding back!"

"Second Soul Skill, Geng Metal Dragon Claw!"

Huang Long directly raised his right hand and unleashed his second soul skill. His dragon claw, glowing with sharp golden light, struck straight at Sea Ghost Douluo!

But at that moment, Sea Dragon Douluo suddenly appeared between the two of them, raising his fist again to meet Huang Long head-on.

Bang—!

Fist and claw collided violently in midair, unleashing wave after wave of shockwaves that churned this stretch of sea into chaos.

"The Holy Son is incredible! He's fighting three against one, and against Sea Dragon, Sea Ghost, and Sea Maiden at that. Yet he's only at a slight disadvantage."

On the shore, Sea Horse Douluo stood with his arms crossed as he watched the battle at sea, praising Huang Long repeatedly.

Sea Star Douluo beside him was even more deeply moved. "Why else would he be called the Holy Son? Look at how he's turned both water element and wind element into something extraordinary."

"Water bullets, waterspouts, wind pressure, storms—his moves just keep coming one after another."

Sea Spear Douluo, however, frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied. "Why hasn't the Holy Son used any of the combat techniques I taught him?"

"When he faced Sea Ghost just now, he should have directly condensed the wind element or water element into a spear and stabbed him with it. Wouldn't that have done the job?"

"Sea Spear, you're going to lead the Holy Son astray. Be careful that the Grand Priestess doesn't punish you."

Sea Delusion Douluo let out a teasing laugh, though his eyes secretly glanced at the Grand Priestess, Bo Saixi, beside him.

But how could he have known that Bo Saixi's attention was no longer on the four of them? She had not even heard clearly what they were saying.

She stared unblinkingly at Huang Long, who was battling Sea Dragon, Sea Ghost, and Sea Maiden on the surface of the sea. For the first time in all these years, she felt nervous.

She had designed this trial.

Sea Dragon, Sea Ghost, and Sea Maiden had also been personally chosen by her.

The purpose had been to make Huang Long recognize the difficulty and back down, abandoning the idea of going to the mainland.

But as she watched Huang Long dart and weave between Sea Dragon Douluo's heavy fists, while skillfully evading Sea Ghost Douluo's silent poisonous spikes—

—and still defending against the sonic interference Sea Maiden Douluo occasionally inserted into the battle—

This performance alone was enough to let him stand on his own on the mainland.

Bo Saixi sighed inwardly.

So be it.

Since he wanted to go to the mainland, then she would let him go and gain some experience.

She could not keep her child sheltered beneath her wings forever, could she?

Perhaps after undergoing some trials, his achievements would be greater than if he remained on Sea God Island all along?

Having figured this out, Bo Saixi no longer felt conflicted.

She turned to Sea Horse Douluo and asked, "How much time has passed?"

Sea Horse Douluo turned around and respectfully bowed. "In reply to the High Priest, there are still thirty seconds remaining."

Bo Saixi nodded slightly and continued to keep her gaze fixed on Huang Long.

At this moment, Huang Long had already fallen into a difficult position under the combined assault of the three.

Yet he remained calm and composed. Every move precisely intercepted Sea Dragon Douluo and the others' attacks while delivering elegant counterattacks.

At the same time, the soul skills of his third, fourth, and fifth soul rings continued operating, constantly replenishing his expended soul power, mental power, and stamina.

"First Soul Skill, Dragon Flame!"

Scorching Dragon Flame burst from Huang Long's mouth in an instant, sweeping toward the three of them!

The tyrannically intense heat even evaporated the seawater until it boiled!

Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Ghost Douluo, and Sea Maiden Douluo all retreated in shock at the sight.

They had seen the power of this Dragon Flame before. If even a little of it touched them, would they not be burned black and blue?

Yet just as Sea Maiden Douluo retreated, the sand and mud from the seafloor suddenly burst through the surface, transforming into a cage that trapped her within!

Sea Maiden Douluo jumped in fright.

"Oh no! The Holy Son has trapped me!"

As soon as her words fell—

"Whoosh—!"

Huang Long's wings swept fiercely, and he transformed into a streak of golden light as he dove straight down!

Surging soul power enveloped his entire body, forming a golden dragon phantom that charged at Sea Maiden Douluo!

"Sea Maiden Sister, forgive me!"

As he spoke, he raised his dragon claw and struck toward Sea Maiden Douluo's chest!

With a bang.

The cage was pierced through in a single blow, and the tremendous force sent Sea Maiden Douluo flying!

"Ah! I was careless!"

"Sea Dragon, Sea Ghost, it's all up to you now."
