At the foot of Sea God's Mountain, Haiming spun around excitedly. He had finally figured out the key to passing the first trial!
As long as he gathered all six Soul Bones on his body—no, he would not even need all six!
As long as their quality was high enough, Haiming believed that even three Soul Bones could help him break through the limit beyond one hundred levels!
While Haiming continued pacing back and forth, Bo Saixi returned, with a young girl following behind her!
Haiming stared directly at the woman behind Bo Saixi, and his gaze could not help but sharpen.
Her white leather-like outfit outlined her perfect figure, every exquisite curve making her seem utterly alluring. Her gray-blue hair cascaded down her back, nearly reaching the ground.
What surprised Haiming was that her eyes were also gray-blue, completely unlike those of ordinary humans!
Her fair skin carried a faint gray-blue sheen as well, and her nose bridge was tall and straight.
Her face had somewhat chiseled features, yet they did not seem jarring. Instead, they were remarkably distinctive, giving her a captivating exotic charm.
Where had Bo Saixi found this girl? Was there such a beautiful girl on Sea God Island?
And she looked about the same age as him. Hadn't Sea God's Light already been assigned to him by the Sea God?
"Teacher?"
Haiming gestured with his eyes toward the woman behind Bo Saixi, his tone carrying a question.
"For the next period of time, she will serve as your sparring partner." A rare smile touched Bo Saixi's lips as she stepped aside, allowing Haiming and the woman to face each other directly.
"Lord Haiming!"
The woman's voice was cold and clear, but Haiming could still hear the tremor of excitement in it!
Where had this strange woman come from?
Haiming was completely bewildered, but seeing Bo Saixi's expression, he generously extended his hand toward the woman.
Seeing Haiming's outstretched hand, the woman became visibly more excited. She reached out with both hands and clasped his, and in that instant, Haiming felt the golden trident on his forehead emit a trace of warm light.
"Enough. You two should have a match first. Let him see your strength."
Bo Saixi spoke vaguely, leaving Haiming feeling utterly confused.
"Teacher, should I go... all out?"
Haiming hesitated. If he unleashed his full strength now, he could even kill an ordinary Soul King in a short time!
The girl before him looked barely twenty. At most, she should be in her thirties in Soul Power rank. Would it not be inappropriate for him to go all out?
"Lord Haiming, please attack with all your strength. Little White will definitely do her duty as your sparring partner!"
The woman nodded excitedly at Haiming, then retreated more than ten meters. After taking a deep breath, her eyes gradually lit up.
Haiming's mouth twitched. "L-Little White?"
As Sea Dragon's grandson, Haiming naturally knew that this was the name the Sea God had once bestowed upon the chieftain of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan that guarded Sea God Island. In other words, the girl before him was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, a Demon Soul Great White Shark!
"Teacher, you set me up!"
Haiming let out a low roar as four blood-red Soul Rings radiating immense power shone around him. Facing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast—and one among the very best of them—Haiming did not dare relax in the slightest!
"First Soul Skill Prayer! Second Soul Skill! Second Soul Skill Barrier!"
Azure Soul Power summoned a torrential rain. Against the backdrop of the rain, Little White's curves became even more eye-catching, but Haiming had no intention of admiring them. He raised the Sacred Barrier, then took a deep breath as a ball of white light appeared in his hand!
At the same time, the fourth Soul Ring around him flashed, and the white light in his hand gradually became dyed with golden lightning!
"Fourth Soul Skill Power!"
Haiming roared and hurled the electric sphere directly at Little White. The instant it left his hand, dozens of copies of Haiming materialized around her, making it impossible to spot any flaw!
Fourth Soul Skill Clone!
"Lord Haiming, please be careful."
Watching the electric sphere fly toward her, Little White merely raised her hand lightly and erased it. Then a blissful smile appeared on her face. Her figure flashed, leaving behind a string of gray-blue afterimages, and before Haiming could react, her slender hand had already struck his chest!
At that moment, the hand Haiming had used to gather Soul Power for an Aura Sphere had not even extended outward. A terrifyingly precise force sent him flying hundreds of meters, dropping him into the Ring Sea with an enormous splash!
"Grand Worshipper..."
Little White's expression stiffened as she looked uneasily at Bo Saixi in the distance. Had she gone a little overboard?
Bo Saixi shook her head at Little White, the smile on her lips never fading.
Now, it seemed she would not have to worry about finding Haiming a practical combat opponent for a long time.
"Cough, cough... Little White, that was a bit too harsh..."
By the shore, the little Dolphin that had once again angrily screeched as it carried Haiming ashore glanced at Little White. It then sprayed Haiming in the face with seawater before diving straight back into the Ring Sea.
Haiming coughed twice and spat out the seawater he had choked on, complaining helplessly.
"I am deeply sorry, Lord Haiming!"
Little White immediately gave him a ninety-degree bow. She had learned this from the land Soul Masters who came to the island, who said that it could earn forgiveness from others.
"It is fine. I am just too weak."
Haiming waved his hand. Little White had not tried to kill him. It was only that the power of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was temporarily beyond his ability to resist. At the same time, it made Haiming's eyes burn with desire!
If he could obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, then perhaps he could easily pass the first trial!
"Teacher, I have a request."
After thinking it over, Haiming decided to tell Bo Saixi his idea. After all, the only people who could help him were his grandfather and the teacher who had been with him for six years.
"Absorb Soul Bones, strengthen your body, and use that to break through the first trial? It is indeed a good method."
Bo Saixi's eyes brightened slightly, and she nodded.
Her original plan had been to take Haiming to the gorge when he broke through rank fifty and let him endure the crashing waves. Perhaps he could comprehend a domain of his own amid the waves, which should help him pass the first trial.
But the suggestion Haiming had raised was also practical, and it could actually shorten the time required by quite a bit.
As for Soul Bones...
There were several times—dozens of times, even—more Soul Beasts in the sea than on land!
Although Sea Soul Beasts and Sea Soul Masters were all subjects of the Sea God, there were countless vicious Sea Soul Beasts wandering along the fringes of the faith!
