Second Trial, Passed!

Bang!

As Little White's palm struck Haiming's chest, he seemed to hear his ribs crack. He spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground before him, staining it with a faint golden glow!

"Lord Haiming, is that enough?"

Little White did not continue attacking. Instead, she withdrew her aura and looked worriedly at Haiming, who was drenched in blood and looked utterly miserable.

This had gone on for three months. During those three months, Haiming had lived through a cycle of being beaten senseless by Little White—recovering—gaining more Divine Blood—being beaten senseless again—recovering—and gaining more Divine Blood.

Today was the day he would finally achieve perfection!

With that last mouthful of congealed blood spat out, all the blood in his body had completed its golden transformation and become Divine Blood!

"This second trial really wasn't easy. If I ever get to meet the Sea God, I really want to give him a piece of my mind. This second trial simply wasn't something a human could endure."

Haiming collapsed onto the ground. At that moment, every bone in his body was slightly fractured, and the wounds covering his body were too numerous to count.

Under such high-pressure combat, Haiming's soul power had quietly reached level forty-five through his daily Meditation and recovery. The strength of his muscles had also risen by a great deal, though he was still nowhere near the Deification Realm.

"Lord Haiming, when do you plan to complete the second trial?"

Little White skillfully wrapped Haiming up like a mummy, then carried him back to Hailong City to rest.

Sea Dragon had originally wanted to care for his grandson, but seeing him return grievously injured every day, he could only feel heartache without being able to interfere. In the end, he simply moved to the Sea Dragon Divine Pillar. Haiming's parents thought the same way.

"After I recover from this injury. The sooner the second trial ends, the sooner I'll be at ease."

The next day, Haiming stood at the edge of the inland Ring Sea with a somewhat speechless expression. Little White beside him looked equally bewildered.

After having all his blood replaced, Haiming had underestimated his own recovery ability. In just one night, all his minor injuries had healed completely. He had not even needed medicinal herbs!

Sure enough, anything connected to the word "god" could not be explained by science!

After all, the end of science was... theology!

After taking a deep breath, Haiming leaped into the water as he had the previous two times. He was like a swordfish leaving its sheath, slicing through the waves as he charged toward the opposite shore!

The Bloodray swarm, starved for three months, rushed at him like mad. God knew how they had endured those three months. Trapped by the barrier, they had no way to leave this stretch of sea.

At the same time, a mysterious force had been nourishing their bodies, ensuring that they remained at their absolute peak.

But being at the peak of their strength and mental state did not mean their needs had been met!

After three months on an empty stomach, a living creature had finally entered the water. The Bloodray swarm surged forward and completely engulfed Haiming.

Sshk!

Haiming did not tense his muscles to avoid injury. Instead, he dropped his defenses and allowed those vampires to drink his blood.

He had not forgotten what he had said. He would wipe out the Bloodray race!

Pure golden blood flowed into the sea. In an instant, every Bloodray felt the energy within its body surge wildly. With their limited intelligence, they thought it was a good thing and greedily sucked up the golden blood.

However, this blood differed from what they had consumed before. Not only was it brimming with energy, but it also felt incredibly thick. Even with all their strength, they could only draw one or two drops.

Boom!

A bubble rose to the surface and exploded, sending scarlet blossoms of blood spraying across the sea!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Stepping onto the warm, soft beach, Haiming shook his body. The bite marks covering him were plainly visible.

A drop of golden blood flowed from his chest. Haiming lightly wiped it with a finger, then licked the blood from it. It was rich and fragrant, filled with an alluring temptation!

Complete Divine Blood was not something these sea vampires could consume!

The Bloodray swarm in the Ring Sea had been completely annihilated!

"Cross the Ring Sea, trial passed! To calmly endure any pain is an essential quality of the strong! The second trial has concluded. Because you used a shortcut during the process, the reward has been reduced. Sea God affinity increased by five percent. Because you completed it in less than one year, the reward has been doubled. Sea God affinity increased by ten percent! Total affinity: twenty percent!"

"Phew!"

Haiming dropped onto the beach. The second trial had taken little time, but it left him feeling far more exhausted than the first trial had.

The main thing was that it was hard to accept mentally. After all, not everyone could calmly accept having their blood sucked away again and again, their flesh gnawed apart again and again.

"Lord Sea God, don't make the next trial so hellish. Can't we have something a little more normal...?"

Haiming muttered a few words. The light emitted by the trident mark on his forehead was slightly brighter than before.

Bo Saixi crossed the Ring Sea and landed beside Haiming. Seeing his teacher approach, Haiming immediately scrambled to his feet and stood at attention.

Bo Saixi nodded. "Although you took a shortcut, you completed it very quickly. Overall, Lord Sea God was quite satisfied. But you cannot take shortcuts in the upcoming trial. It concerns your inheritance of the Sea God."

Hearing Bo Saixi's reminder, Haiming nodded repeatedly.

Crack!

A blue screen of light flashed out from the trident and floated before Haiming.

Haiming looked at the screen thoughtfully. As expected, it was more or less what he had anticipated.

"Sea God's Third Trial: Tidal Body Tempering!"

"Persevere in the Raging Waves Deadland for one hundred and eight days, for no fewer than twelve hours each day. The count begins on the day the trial starts. Failure to complete it by then will be considered a failure!"

The Raging Waves Deadland was one of Sea God Island's wonders, and also another forbidden zone of Sea God Island.

No matter how calm the seawater was before entering this place, it would become wildly turbulent here. Even the Demon Spirit Great White Shark clan would not come here. It was a genuine deadland!

Haiming would spend one hundred and eight days here!
