Soon, amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, a flash of golden light appeared, and the two golden beads in Bo Saixi's hand flew out, slowly hovering above Ye Lingling Feng Xiaotian's heads.
The golden bead hovered about three feet above their heads, slowly rotating, its surface shimmering with a faint halo.
Huo Wu stared intently at the two beads, muttering to herself, "These things look incredibly powerful. I wonder what level of treasure they are."
Bo Saixi then flicked her finger, and the two beads shattered. A thick golden mist immediately poured down from the broken beads, like two golden waterfalls that engulfed Ye Lingling Feng Xiaotian.
Bo Saixi's voice rang out at the opportune moment. "Anyone who has accepted the Black Level or higher assessment bestowed by the Lord Sea God will have the opportunity to be granted Soul Ring upon reaching their first bottleneck."
You don't need to hunt Soul Beast; the God-Given Soul Ring will grant you the Soul Skill you need most and the highest level Soul Ring you can withstand.
Everyone only has one chance.
God-Given Soul Ring?
These simple words caused everyone's gaze to freeze, except for Lin Mo.
Huo Wu's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
God-Given Soul Ring can be obtained without hunting Soul Beast, and it is the Soul Ring that best suits oneself and has the highest age.
She had never heard of such a miracle.
A miracle beyond human capability!
Under the pressure of the God-Given Soul Ring, Feng Xiaotian and Ye Lingling's bodies soon began to tremble involuntarily.
Their bodies began to tremble slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Feng Xiaotian's face was flushed, and his teeth were clenched, as if he was enduring some great pain; Ye Lingling was in slightly better condition, but a look of pain also appeared on her serene face.
With a soft "poof, "the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul suddenly appeared, hovering in front of Ye Lingling's chest. The pure white flowers swayed gently in the golden mist, emitting a soft pinkish-white light.
Like Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia, a blue wind rose behind Feng Xiaotian, which then transformed into the shape of Gale Twin-Headed Wolf.
The wolf shadow was formed from pure wind element, with two heads raised to the sky and howling, carrying a fierce aura.
Along with their Martial Soul, the two also acquired their Soul Ring, six and five respectively.
Six Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, and two black—pulsated gently on Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia, while five Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, and one black—sparkled beneath Feng Xiaotian's feet.
The absorption of the God-Given Soul Ring has officially begun, and the following period will be the most challenging time for the two of them.
As the golden mist continued to flow into their bodies, the expressions on their faces began to turn serious.
Feng Xiaotian frowned, gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
Ye Lingling's condition was slightly better, but pain still appeared on her serene face, and a struggle flashed in her purple eyes.
Judging from the density of the golden mist surrounding the two, it's easy to tell that although Ye Lingling is Auxiliary System Tool Soul Master, her physical attributes are far superior to Feng Xiaotian's due to her advantages in Soul Power and Martial Soul spirit.
This means that the time it will take for the two of them to receive God-Given Soul Ring will differ greatly.
However, what they will ultimately Harvest from the God-Given Soul Ring depends on their perseverance.
The lifespan of God-Given Soul Ring Soul Ring be automatically adjusted based on the absorber's physical condition and mental strength.
The longer you persevere and the greater the pressure you endure, the higher the age limit for obtaining Soul Ring will ultimately be.
Thinking of this, a hint of regret flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
Given Ye Lingling's current physical condition, it would be too difficult for her to Dash to obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at the Seventh Soul Ring position.
The pressure required for Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring is terrifying; even Ye Lingling would find it difficult to withstand at this stage.
However, by the time you reach your Eighth Soul Ring, it should be more than enough.
Not only her, but also Dugu Yan was the same.
Lin Mo withdrew his gaze.
Soon, while the two were absorbing the God-Given Soul Ring, Bo Saixi made his move.
Bo Saixi's gaze swept over Lin Mo and the others, focusing most on Lin Mo and Dugu Yan.
Her deep eyes lingered on Lin Mo the longest, as if trying to see through this young man completely.
Lin Mo raised his head to look at Bo Saixi, their eyes met, and he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Before long, Dugu Yan, unable to contain her excitement, asked Bo Saixi, "Is this God-Given Soul Ring your power, or the power of the Sea God?"
Bo Saixi said calmly, "Of course it's the power of the Lord Sea God; this is a miracle."
Only when a Black Level Assessment appears will the Lord Sea God grant the opportunity to bestow a God-Given Soul Ring.
Aside from divine miracles, who else could bestow Soul Ring?
I am a human being, not a god.
Her tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable certainty.
A hint of piety flashed in those deep eyes; it was a faith that came from the heart.
Dugu Yan nodded and said, "I understand."
After shifting her gaze from the two people absorbing Soul Ring, Shui Yue'er subconsciously looked at the Sea God Hall, which was guarded by the 1,001 steps, not far behind them.
The Sea God Hall was majestic and solemn, radiating a sacred glow under the golden Sea God's Light. The temple was built of white jade, which shimmered faintly in the sunlight.
Shui Yue'er blinked her bright, watery eyes and asked, "Senior, now that we're considered part of Sea God Island, are we qualified to go to the Sea God Hall to witness the glory of the Sea God?"
Go and pay homage to the Lord Sea God.
Her voice was clear and bright, and her face showed anticipation.
Shui Yue'er linked arms with Shui Bing'er and leaned against her, her eyes fixed on the majestic palace.
Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi glanced at the carefree girl, but there was no hint of blame in her words: "It's not the right time yet."
There will be opportunities for you to worship the Lord Sea God. If you insist on entering the Sea God Hall now, it's not entirely impossible.
"As long as you can defeat me, that's all that matters."
She paused, her tone slightly seductive. "Well, I can also tell you. If you can defeat me, except for Dugu Yan, whose Sea God's Nine Trials can only be considered as having completed the first six trials, everyone else's trials can be considered as having been completed in one go."
I don't mind if you choose to try; I will give it my all and show no mercy.
Bo Saixi's voice was calm, but it sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
Upon hearing Bo Saixi's words, everyone shuddered.
Through their time together on Sea God Island, they gained a considerable understanding of the Sea God Island's High Priest Bo Saixi's, strength.
Peerless Douluo with a cultivation Level 99 is among the most outstanding of all Titled Douluo.
For them, with their current cultivation levels of fifty or sixty, to challenge an existence of this level is no different from courting death.
Huo Wu shrank back and muttered under her breath, "I don't want to die." She subconsciously took a half step back.
Shui Yue'er stuck out her tongue and hid behind her sister.
She had just been eager to visit the Sea God Hall, but now she didn't dare mention it again.
On the contrary, a fierce fighting spirit flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
Although the fighting spirit wasn't obvious, Bo Saixi still keenly sensed it. She looked at Lin Mo, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Bo Saixi couldn't help but quip, "Young man, having confidence is a good thing, but getting too cocky is not."
Your talent is indeed the most outstanding I have ever seen; in my opinion, it is comparable to that of the Lord Sea God in his youth.
But if you want to challenge me now, you're being a bit too arrogant!
How about this, once you break through to the ninth ring in both of your Martial Soul in the future, maybe you'll be qualified to compete with me!
"At that time, I will give you a chance to fight me. If you can defeat me, then the position of High Priest of Sea God Island might be yours in advance..."
Her voice carried a hint of teasing, but more than that, it was filled with admiration—admiration for the younger generation who were able to take her place!
"You flatter me, senior." Lin Mo shook his head, trying to put his thoughts aside, but his mind wandered off.
He wouldn't mind challenging Bo Saixi, but definitely not now. He would at least wait until he had successfully passed the first three trials of the Sea God Trial before making an attempt.
If his main purpose in coming to Sea God Island was to help Dugu Yan pass the Sea God's Nine Trials and improve his own strength, then one important side quest was to try to fight this Sea God Douluo.
He wanted to see how big the gap was between himself and Bo Saixi, one of the strongest people on the continent.
Bo Saixi is clearly the best option at present.
However, he hadn't become arrogant enough to think he could challenge the Sea God Douluo, who had been famous for over a hundred years, with his cultivation as Seven-Ring Soul Sage.
At the very least, it will have to wait until his cultivation level breaks through to the Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, and he and the Charizard both possess their own Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores.
Only then would they be qualified to compete with a top-tier powerhouse like Bo Saixi.
"A slippery kid," Bo Saixi shook his head, offering his assessment.
Her gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on the golden trident mark between Dugu Yan's brows, a complex expression flashing in her eyes:
"We will all grow old eventually; the future belongs to you young people. The future of Sea God Island still depends on you!"
Having said that, Bo Saixi said no more, focusing her attention on the two who were absorbing the God-Given Soul Ring, ready to intervene at any moment.
Her deep eyes were fixed on the two figures in the golden mist, and a faint blue light flowed around her.
She would intervene immediately should anything happen to the two of them.
Not long after.
A sudden surge of intense energy emanated from Feng Xiaotian, drawing everyone's attention.
The golden glow had now transformed into rings of black light surrounding Feng Xiaotian's body, and this Soul Power continued to flow into his body.
The black halo grew increasingly dense, and its rotation speed increased.
Those black halos were almost tangible; with each rotation, a portion of them would merge into Feng Xiaotian's body.
The moment he merged with the body, Feng Xiaotian's body would tremble violently.
The absorption of Feng Xiaotian's God-Given Soul Ring is nearing completion, and at the same time, the test the God-Given Soul Ring him is also at a critical moment.
Feng Xiaotian's expression grew increasingly solemn. His jaw clenched, his fists were raised, and his entire body trembled slightly.
Finally, the rings of black light condensed together, forming a huge black halo that slowly contracted towards Feng Xiaotian's body.
With each shrinking of the black halo, the pain on Feng Xiaotian's face intensified.
His face flushed red, veins bulged on his forehead, and the immense pressure made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
At that very moment, the five Soul Ring behind him also emitted an extremely dazzling light. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black, the five colors of light intertwined and illuminated the surroundings.
With a wolf howl, the phantom of the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf behind Feng Xiaotian suddenly solidified and took shape, roaring before disappearing into Feng Xiaotian's body.
The moment the wolf's shadow entered his body, Feng Xiaotian's body trembled violently, and a powerful aura erupted from him.
The aura was so powerful that it caused the surrounding air to vibrate violently.
As the wolf phantom disappeared, the number of Soul Ring under Feng Xiaotian's feet increased from five to six.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black. Six Soul Ring pulsed slowly beneath his feet, radiating a dazzling light.
A visible look of joy flashed across Feng Xiaotian's face as he finished absorbing the Soul Ring. An increase in strength is something to be excited about for any Soul Master.
He took a deep breath, feeling the surging Soul Power within his body, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.
However, seeing that Ye Lingling on the other side had not yet finished absorbing, a hint of envy flashed in Feng Xiaotian's eyes. He then went to the group's side and continued to wait.
He walked up to Lin Mo and stood down, but his gaze remained fixed on Ye Lingling.
The golden mist remained thick, Ye Lingling's figure appeared and disappeared within it.
Not long after, a similar scene happened to Ye Lingling again, or more precisely, to the Nine Heart Begonia she was holding in her hand.
The Nine Heart Begonia swayed gently under the golden mist, its pure white petals shimmering with an increasingly rich pinkish-white light.
The light grew brighter and brighter, almost engulfing the entire flower.
Rings of black light separated from the golden mist and slowly flowed into the Nine Heart Begonia. Each time a ring of black light was injected, the Nine Heart Begonia would tremble slightly, as if it were enduring some immense pressure.
Ye Lingling's face was slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she clenched her teeth and insisted on not making a sound.
At this moment, the six Soul Ring surrounding the Nine Heart Begonia slowly changed into seven. However, unlike the previous six Soul Ring, the seventh Black Soul Ring gave everyone a faint feeling of black with a hint of red.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.
Seven Soul Ring pulsed slowly around the Nine Heart Begonia, with the seventh Soul Ring's blackish-red color standing out prominently.
Seeing that both of them had successfully absorbed the God-Given Soul Ring without any unexpected incidents, Bo Saixi once again used her spatial power in front of everyone to instantly leave and return to the Sea God Hall.
With a flash of red light, the red figure vanished as if it had never existed, leaving only a faint red glow slowly dissipating in the spot.
Soon, everyone surrounded Feng Xiaotian and Ye Lingling, the first two to try the crab, and began asking them questions in a flurry.
Huo Wu was the first to approach Feng Xiaotian, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him. " Feng Xiaotian, tell me quickly, what quality is your Sixth Soul Ring? What is your Sixth Soul Skill?"
She crossed her arms, striking a bossy pose, but her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
Although Shui Bing'er didn't speak, her purple eyes also fell on Feng Xiaotian, clearly showing her interest as well.
She stood to the side, her expression serene, but her fingers were unconsciously twisting together.
Shui Yue'er moved right up to Feng Xiaotian, as if she wanted to flick his Soul Ring, but Feng Xiaotian dodged her.
She wasn't annoyed at all. She smiled and circled around him twice, carefully examining the six Soul Ring at his feet.
Feng Xiaotian was the first to express his feelings. "The Sixth Soul Ring that this God-Given Soul Ring gave me is of a quality no less than that produced by Soul Ring from Soul Beast that is over 40,000 years old."
He paused, a look of excitement flashing in his eyes. " The Sixth Soul Skill is called Wind-Slaying Slash, a single-target attack Soul Skill with considerable power, and it can also be used in conjunction with my Fifth Soul Skill, Twister Blade."
The combined effect of the two can further enhance their power.
If I were to unleash my full power, among Soul Master of the same rank, only a few exceptionally skilled defensive Soul Master would be able to withstand my attack head-on!
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu couldn't help but tease Feng Xiaotian, "How does the power of your Sixth Soul Skill compare to the power of your already mastered Gale Demon Wolf Fifty-Two Fury Cutter?"
She crossed her arms, her eyes full of mischief, and a sly smile playing on her lips.
"Let bygones be bygones." Feng Xiaotian immediately flushed red.
His Self-Created Soul Skill, " Gale Demon Wolf Fury Cutter," can now unleash more than fifty-two Fury Cutter.
Even if the final strike is successfully executed, its power is far inferior to the Sixth Soul Skill, Wind-Slaying Slash.
Although his Self-Created Soul Skill " Gale Demon Wolf Fury Cutter " looks impressive on paper, if its full power could be unleashed, its power would even surpass his Fifth Soul Skill.
But it has absolutely no right to try and outdo the Sixth Soul Skill.
Moreover, this was under the most ideal circumstances. As his cultivation improved, Feng Xiaotian had fully realized the limitations of his Self-Created Soul Skill, Gale Demon Wolf Fury Cutter.
"That was just youthful arrogance. I've completely let go of my obsession with Self-Created Soul Skill now," Feng Xiaotian tried to defend himself.
Everyone chuckled and stopped teasing Feng Xiaotian.
Ye Lingling, who was standing to the side, quickly shared her own feelings.
She raised her hand, Nine Heart Begonia swayed gently in her palm, with seven Soul Ring surrounding the flower, radiating a soft light.
"My Seventh Soul Skill is no different from other Soul Master; it's the Tool Soul Avatar."
Ye Lingling said softly, "The effect is the same as my previous Soul Skill, still amplifying the healing effect. However, this time, under the effect of the Martial Soul Avatar, the increase is much greater, doubling the healing effect."
She paused, a thoughtful look flashing in her purple eyes.
"As for the age limit of the Seventh Soul Ring..."
At this point, Ye Lingling paused for a moment, then, after a subtle assessment, slowly said, "The age of my Seventh Soul Ring God-Given Soul Ring, should be equivalent to that of Soul Ring produced by Soul Beast with nearly 80,000 years of cultivation."
Upon hearing Ye Lingling's words, everyone's eyes widened.
Seventh Soul Ring with nearly 80,000 years of cultivation is Soul Ring age that most Soul Master can only dream of when they reach their Ninth Soul Ring.
A look of shock flashed in Shui Bing'er's eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Shui Yue'er covered her mouth and let out a gasp. Her big, bright eyes were filled with shock, and her gaze towards Ye Lingling changed, filled with deep admiration.
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes as she looked at Ye Lingling.
Feng Xiaotian's smile froze. He subconsciously looked at his Sixth Soul Ring at his feet, then at Ye Lingling's Seventh Soul Ring, and his lips twitched slightly.
" Lingling, you..." He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
It seems that not only Lin Mo's physical abilities are outstanding, but Ye Lingling's physical abilities are also extraordinary.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Ye Lingling continued to explain, "The situation with God-Given Soul Ring is rather special. It gives my body time to adapt, allowing me to attempt to reach a higher level of Soul Ring age. If I were to absorb them under normal circumstances, I estimate that 70,000 years would be my limit."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian nodded, agreeing with Ye Lingling's statement.
His Sixth Soul Ring was only a little over 40,000 years old, which was indeed a huge difference compared to Ye Lingling's Seventh Soul Ring.
However, he was already extremely satisfied with this Sixth Soul Ring, which had been around for over 40,000 years.
After all, the lifespan of a normal Soul Master's Sixth Soul Ring is only around 20,000 years. Even if he didn't have God-Given Soul Ring, the lifespan of his own Soul Ring would probably be around 30,000 years.
This was even after absorbing the Wolf Bandits's right leg bone.
Lin Mo raised his hand and ruffled Ye Lingling's hair, saying with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, Sister Lingling, it looks like you can try to break through to a 100,000-year-level Soul Ring next time you Eighth Soul Ring."
Ye Lingling lowered her head slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face.
Ye Lingling attempted to absorb a Soul Ring that was nearly 80,000 years old at the Seventh Soul Ring position, which was beyond Lin Mo's expectations.
It seems that absorbing the Gold of Life to sublimate her Martial Soul brought Ye Lingling more benefits than Lin Mo had imagined.
It not only allowed her to pass the Top Level Eight Trials beyond the standard, but also greatly improved her physical endurance.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lin Mo's face.
Moreover, after the Top Level Eight Trials are over, Ye Lingling's Seventh Soul Ring might be able to transform into a 100,000-year level thanks to the extra reward of increasing the age of her Soul Ring through the Top Level Eight Trials.
After Ye Lingling and Feng Xiaotian finished absorbing the God-Given Soul Ring, everyone began to cultivate more diligently.
After all, they had been worried about their next Soul Ring. This was Sea God Island, and apart from Shui Yue'er, it would be difficult for others to find a suitable Soul Ring.
However, now that we have God-Given Soul Ring, there's no need to worry.
