Sea God's Nine Trials!

"Sea God's Nine Trials!"

Before Haiming could say anything, Sea Dragon Douluo looked utterly astonished. Although he had never seen a ninefold trial before, the words "Sea God" meant that it could not possibly be an ordinary assessment!

On Sea God Island, the words "Sea God" were supreme. No one dared to joke about them.

"Yes, Sea God's Nine Trials." Bo Saixi still appeared calm, but her gaze met Kyogre's!

"Human, can you tell me why you wanted to kill my Trainer?"

Kyogre spoke in human language, his tone calm yet shocking!

Although Kyogre held humans in great contempt, he had formed a connection with this human boy. That made Haiming his Trainer. As a god, how could he allow someone else to threaten his Trainer!

Sea Dragon stared at the High Priestess he respected most with disbelief, unsure whether his grandson's mutated Martial Soul was telling the truth.

"Hah... Did you sense it?" Bo Saixi calmly watched Kyogre, then let out a soft sigh.

Haiming exchanged a glance with Kyogre. Blue light flickered in Kyogre's eyes before understanding dawned on him.

"Sea God's Nine Trials... In the end, it wants your life. No wonder... Humans do value their lives greatly."

Kyogre spoke with the tone of someone who had been through it all, lamenting humanity's shallowness. From the perspective of the Pokémon world... life did seem rather important?

Other than a certain firebird that could be reborn through nirvana, and a certain forest deity that existed at every point in time, the other Legendary Pokémon could all die!

"Kyogre, can you keep the High Priestess from dying? As the Sea Emperor, it should be impossible for you not to be able to do that, right?"

Haiming frowned. He remembered that the High Priestess of Sea God Island had ultimately used her life to open the way for the protagonist, Tang San, to receive Sea God's Legacy.

That would not do. His grandfather deeply respected Bo Saixi, and his family owed their current life largely to her.

"Of course I can do that."

Kyogre responded to Haiming with a disdainful expression, then showed an oddly human-like awkwardness.

"However, I cannot do it in my current state. My long slumber has cost me my strength. With the power I have now, I can only ensure that you receive the greatest possible benefits during your trials."

Watching Kyogre's helplessness, Haiming pursed his lips in resignation. The three idiots of Hoenn were just like this—they could not be relied upon at critical moments!

Rayquaza was better. The one that could not fly and the big fish had devoted all their intelligence to fighting each other. Asking them to think about anything else was simply too difficult.

If not for the fact that Kyogre fought Groudon every time he awakened, the god of the sea would not have fallen to the Lugia Clan, which did not even possess the Water attribute.

"Hah... Follow me." Bo Saixi watched the interaction between Haiming and his Martial Soul combination, sighing once more. She realized that in more than a hundred years, her state of mind had never fluctuated as much as it had today.

After nodding to Sea Dragon, Bo Saixi extended her hand. An azure ripple surged from her body and connected to Haiming.

Guided by Soul Power, Haiming's body rose into the air as if he had grown wings, soaring freely through the sky.

Unlike when his grandfather had grabbed his clothes and flown through the air, Bo Saixi's Soul Power guidance was exceptionally gentle. Even while moving at high speed, Haiming could not feel the slightest wind pressure.

Sea God's Temple—this was the center of all Sea God Island and the loftiest faith in the hearts of its inhabitants!

At the foot of the mountain, Bo Saixi brought Haiming to a flat stretch of land encircled by the inland sea.

"From the moment you accepted the trial, your first trial has already begun. You may now look at its contents. Until your ninth trial, I will remain by your side."

After saying that, Bo Saixi stood off to the side as motionlessly as a wooden statue.

Haiming blinked. "Senior Bo Saixi... haven't I yet undergone a Soul Power test?"

Haiming felt utterly exhausted. He did not even know how much Innate Soul Power he possessed!

Bo Saixi's body visibly stiffened. Then, a blue radiance descended upon her. It was filled with pure power and gave off a holy feeling.

Naturally, that was Bo Saixi's impression. To Haiming, the light seemed quite ordinary, much like the glow cast by neon lights in his previous life.

"That light is filled with divine power. Can humans also obtain a god's power?"

Kyogre was clearly stunned. For a long time, Groudon had been the only thing on his mind. As for humans... their entire development from origin to civilization might not have lasted as long as one of Kyogre's slumbers!

"Sea God, Poseidon..." An image of a man holding a trident and standing above the sea unconsciously appeared in Haiming's mind!

"Your Innate Soul Power... is level twenty." Bo Saixi took a deep breath, then took two small golden spheres from her robes.

"Level twenty? God-Bestowed Soul Rings!"

Haiming bit his tongue, stopping himself from blurting out something he should not have known!

He had not expected his Innate Soul Power to reach level twenty—twice the limit of Innate Full Soul Power!

Moreover, his first and second Soul Rings could be the legendary God-Bestowed Soul Rings that could become Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings. Was this not practically cheating!

He had once heard Spirit Masters from foreign fleets say that the Sea God was somewhat stingy, unwilling even to spare them from storms. Now, though, it seemed that he was a very generous god indeed!

"The Sea God has delivered a divine decree. During your trials, whenever you reach a bottleneck, he will bestow upon you a God-Bestowed Soul Ring. Your Innate Soul Power is level twenty, so the Sea God has granted you two God-Bestowed Soul Rings."

Bo Saixi handed the two golden spheres to Haiming. After teaching him how to use them, she once again stood to the side, acting as a wooden statue.

"They can absorb Soul Rings according to the maximum number of years the user can endure, and they will also be exceptionally suited to one's Martial Soul..."

Haiming took a deep breath and sat cross-legged. He adopted the posture his grandfather often used beneath the Sacred Pillar, then guided the two golden spheres he had placed on the ground with the Soul Power within his body.

Crack!

One of the golden spheres shattered, transforming into a beam of light that circled above Haiming's head. In an instant, it changed from white to yellow, and the yellow grew increasingly vivid!

Haiming closed his eyes. The current of Soul Power within him kept growing stronger. The God-Bestowed Soul Ring made him feel as though he were soaking in seawater as a child.

Comfortable, tranquil, and peaceful!

So absorbing a Soul Ring was such a pleasant experience?

Bo Saixi's grip around her staff tightened, and her heart wavered once more!

The ring floating above Haiming's head was gradually changing from black to a vivid red!

A hundred thousand years—the first ring!
