"Was that so difficult?"
Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
"Of course it was."
From afar, Sea Horse Douluo answered flatly, "Let me put it this way. If you tried to force your way through, even experts at the Soul Saint or Soul Douluo level might not succeed. As for you, forget about it."
"What? Did you even want us to get through and reach the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar?"
After hearing Sea Horse Douluo's explanation, Ning Rongrong immediately widened her eyes. She planted one hand on her hip as she questioned him.
"Heh, what was wrong? Finally realized how difficult it was?"
Seeing this, Sea Horse Douluo chuckled coldly. "There was no need to despair. His Majesty the Sea God still left challengers a thread of hope. With brute force, even Soul Saints and Soul Douluos might fail, but with the right techniques, even Soul Ancestors and Soul Elders could cross the Sea Within the Sea and reach the foot of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar."
So that was how it worked...
Thoughtful expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
Seeing them fall silent, Sea Horse Douluo asked gravely, "All right, who was going first? If none of you were ready, you could leave now. Come back in a few years."

"A little puddle? Careful, a gust might twist that boasting tongue of yours."
"Heh, the ignorant truly knew no fear."
After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Sea Horse Douluo could not help laughing aloud.
But.
In the next instant, his laughter died.
His vision blurred, blue light flashed, and Qin Xiao appeared not far in front
