It was another day of beautiful scenery and brilliant sunshine.
It was also a frustrating day. Ren Tao's Sea of Inheritance still had not recovered. Eating could not solve the problem; worse, it could trigger unpredictable mutations. If the Sea Witch had not been there, Ren Tao would now have been a monster with five wings sprouting from his back and a tail behind him.
The perfect progression of Super Evolution seemed to have reached a dead end.
For the Shrek Seven Devils, however, this was a day of triumphant advances.
After several days of rest and recuperation, they began the fifth trial: challenging the seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluos.
Whether judged by the original novel or Ren Tao's observations, this fifth trial was essentially effortless. Tang San had obtained his eighth soul ring and already possessed the strength to challenge a Titled Douluo. With the High Priest's instructions added to the mix, some of the Guardian Douluos would very likely go easy on him. Passing the fifth trial was practically a nail already driven into the board.
After that, Tang San would sweep forward like a blade splitting bamboo, pass the sixth trial in one push, and then draw out the Sea God Trident.
Drawing out the Trident was a crucial turning point. Ren Tao was plotting against the Sea God, but was the Sea God not plotting against him as well? Leaving Bo Saixi's personal stance aside, this might very well be another of the Sea God's schemes.
But Ren Tao did not care.
He would wait for Tang San to draw out the Trident before returning to the Douluo Continent. Then, whether he defeated Tang San and devoured the Trident's energy or devoured Tang San's inheritance, he would cut off the Sea God's retreat completely. Only then
