Time flies, and a day has passed in the blink of an eye.
The morning sun shines on Sea God Mountain, the Ring Sea glistens, and a golden curtain of light still hangs over the sea, completely enclosing the entire Ring Sea.
The salty sea breeze blew, rustling the unidentified low-lying plants on the shore.
As agreed, the group arrived at the foot of Sea God Mountain and saw a gray-blue figure standing on the shore in the distance.
Today, Xiao Bai is wearing a gray-blue long dress, her long hair is casually tied up with a hairband, revealing her slender neck.
She crossed her arms and scanned the crowd with a scrutinizing look.
However, it was clear that she breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed that Lin Mo had not appeared.
His relieved expression was so obvious that it was hard for anyone not to notice.
Xiao Bai was indeed terrified of Charizard.
In yesterday's battle, she was completely overwhelmed by Charizard on land and had no chance to fight back. The Burn on her body are still throbbing with pain.
Although the Burn marks had healed, she would never forget the feeling of being crushed.
To her relief, as the examiner for Lin Mo's group's Second Trial, the testing venue she was in charge of was at sea.
She would be extremely unwilling if the next assessment were to take place on land.
The Second Trial for Lin Mo and his team was "Breaking Through the Ring Blockade," and the location was in the Ring Sea. Although it couldn't compare to the real ocean, it was still quite vast.
In the sea, she is the true ruler.
Upon seeing Xiao Bai appear, Dugu Yan was the first to go to greet her.
With a gentle smile on her face and light steps, she stopped in front of Xiao Bai.
She bowed slightly, her tone sincere. " Xiao Bai, I'm here on behalf of A-Mo to apologize to you. He really went too far yesterday."
"But please be understanding, A-Mo is quite sensitive in this regard, so his Charizard reacted a bit strongly yesterday."
Her voice was soft and gentle, carrying a sense of sincerity.
Xiao Bai was completely stunned.
She hadn't expected Dugu Yan to apologize; this reaction far exceeded her expectations.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found herself at a loss for words.
After a moment, she waved her hand somewhat awkwardly, her voice tinged with unease. "It's okay... Yesterday... I was indeed too impulsive yesterday, I was in the wrong first."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and the last few words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"Very good, the first step of the plan is successful."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was overjoyed, but on the surface she remained calm and composed.
She recalled what Lin Mo had said to her yesterday after they returned to Seahorse City from the Sea God Mountain.
Lin Mo said to her seriously, " Sister Yanyan, Xiao Bai is the mount of the previous Sea God, and also holds the identity of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King."
It's no exaggeration to say that she represents the Sea God's followers among the Sea Soul Beast.
At the time, Dugu Yan was still puzzled and asked Lin Mo why he had specifically told her these things.
"In the future inheritance, whether it is the Sea Soul Master believers on Sea God Island or the Sea Soul Beast believers in the ocean, they may all be important factors in your succession to the Sea God Godhood."
Therefore, building a good relationship with Xiao Bai is entirely beneficial.
"A stick and a sweet treat." Lin Mo held up two fingers. " Charizard and I did yesterday served as the stick, so what you need to do next is Role Play the sweet treat role."
Try to gain the recognition of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King as the Sea God Inheritance during the upcoming Sea God's Nine Trials.
Thinking of this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel excited.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions within her, and maintained a gentle smile on her face.
Xiao Bai clearly had no idea what kind of scheming Lin Mo was behind the scenes.
At this moment, Xiao Bai, who had transformed into human form, lowered her eyes and looked at everyone. Her gaze swept across each person's face and finally landed on Dugu Yan.
She spoke sullenly, her voice tinged with resentment. "You seem to know how to talk much better than Lin Mo, unlike that kid who was so awful from the start..."
Clearly, she was still somewhat resentful of Lin Mo's deliberately offensive words to her yesterday.
What does "Your whiteness, is it the whiteness of an idiot?" mean?
The more she thought about those words, the angrier she became; even now, thinking about them still made her feel choked up.
Dugu Yan smiled, stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Xiao Bai's arm, gently shaking it.
She comforted him, " Xiao Bai, don't take what A-Mo said to heart. That's just how he is—he might be sharp-tongued, but he's not a bad person at heart. You've seen it yourself; he's actually very protective of his own people and treats them exceptionally well."
Xiao Bai snorted, not replying, but also not shaking off Dugu Yan's hand.
She glanced at everyone again, her gaze lingering on each person for a moment, before finally asking the question that had been bothering her, "Why didn't Lin Mo come with you?"
Her voice carried a hint of probing, and a touch of nervousness that she herself was Frisk of.
Ye Lingling, who was standing to the side, spoke up at that opportune moment.
She stepped forward, bowed slightly to Xiao Bai, her purple eyes filled with gentleness. "Senior, don't worry about A-Mo, his cultivation has entered a crucial stage."
He and Charizard have found a place to cultivate in seclusion and will not be coming out for some time.
However, please rest assured, senior, A-Mo will definitely emerge from seclusion before the countdown to the Second Trial ends and participate in the test with us.
She bowed slightly to Xiao Bai again, her tone becoming even gentler. "I'll trouble you to look after her during this time, senior."
"Tsk."
Xiao Bai sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness.
She shook her head, her voice muffled. "If only that kid could talk like the two of you."
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Feng Xiaotian and the others could only suppress their laughter and not let it out loud.
You were the one who attacked Lin Mo first yesterday, and you didn't even fight him.
If it weren't for his status as the Second Trial examiner and the Sea God's mount, no one doubted that Lin Mo would dismantle Xiao Bai and forcibly take her Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
It should be noted that, apart from Lin Mo, none of the others have yet absorbed the physique and spirit required for Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but Lin Mo himself has a significant deficiency in the ability to obtain one.
Lin Mo's Second Martial Soul, the Body Martial Soul, has not yet been equipped with any Soul Ring, and there is still a huge gap of nine Soul Ring.
That is, nine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Every time they thought about this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
What they didn't know was that Lin Mo had never considered Xiao Bai for Soul Ring.
Firstly, Xiao Bai's cultivation level was too low, and secondly, her identity was too important.
Rather than killing her to obtain her Soul Ring and Soul Bone, it would be better to keep her as the leader of the Sea Soul Beast among the Sea God's followers, helping Dugu Yan to unite the Sea Soul Beast ' faith.
Because he was once the mount of the Sea God, Xiao Bai's role among the Sea Soul Beast is similar to that of High Priest Bo Saixi among the Sea Soul Master.
It's just that her status wasn't as high as Bo Saixi's among the Sea Soul Master.
Xiao Bai's ability to read people is clearly not as good as that of a real human, otherwise she wouldn't have done something so reckless yesterday.
She glanced at everyone, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"As compensation for my reckless behavior yesterday, I can tell you that in the upcoming Second Trial test, my only responsibility will be to do everything in my power to prevent you from reaching the other side."
"It won't really hurt you; in your human terms, it's more like serving as a sparring partner."
After she finished speaking, her gaze swept across the faces of the crowd, as if to confirm whether they believed her.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
Xiao Bai's statement was almost identical to the speculation Lin Mo had told them yesterday.
They remembered clearly that Lin Mo had said yesterday that each Kanto of the Sea God Trial had a clear focus and that he wouldn't deliberately set up a death trap.
After saying this, Xiao Bai's gaze unconsciously shifted to Ye Lingling, who was standing next to Dugu Yan.
She could vaguely Frisk that the girl also seemed to possess a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
The aura was very faint; if she weren't a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she wouldn't have even Frisk it.
But the next moment, despite having just recovered thanks to the enhanced regenerative power of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, her body still seemed to be aching slightly.
She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her shoulder; the Burn pain had disappeared, but the feeling of being crushed remained in her memory.
Sensing this, Xiao Bai wisely chose not to ask any further questions and pretended not to have seen anything.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Xiao Bai reached to his waist and retrieved three Soul Bone from his Storage Soul Tool.
The three Soul Bone floated silently in her palm, each radiating its own unique light.
The first Soul Bone was entirely blue, shaped like a right arm bone, with faint wind patterns flowing across its surface, exuding a light and ethereal aura.
The second Soul Bone is entirely emerald green, shaped like a left leg bone, with fine wood grain on its surface, and exudes a rich Life force.
The third Soul Bone was entirely Red, shaped like a left arm bone, with flame patterns on its surface, radiating a scorching aura.
Xiao Bai said, "Here, these things are the compensation I promised you yesterday."
As she spoke, she handed the Soul Bone in her hand to Dugu Yan in front of her. "The things have been given to you. How you distribute them is up to you."
She cleared her throat and briefly explained the origin of the three Soul Bone.
"This Wind-type Soul Bone originated from a 30,000-year-old Hurricane Seagull. Hurricane Seagull are flying Soul Beast of the ocean, skilled in manipulating wind elements. They often Fly in Hurricane. This Soul Bone is a right arm bone, and it most likely comes with a support-type Soul Skill."
She pointed to the second Soul Bone.
"This wood-attribute Soul Bone originates from the Azure Wave Spirit Vine Azure Wave Spirit Vine, a rare plant-type Sea Soul Beast with 50,000 years of cultivation."
She finally pointed to the third Soul Bone.
"This last Fire-type Soul Bone comes from the Flame Fin Fish, which lives near an active underwater volcano. The Flame Fin Fish is one of the few Sea Soul Beast that can survive in high-temperature seawater. It also has over 50,000 years of cultivation and comes with offensive Soul Skill."
Dugu Yan took the three Soul Bone, examined them carefully for a moment, thought for a moment, and quickly made a distribution.
She handed the cyan Wind-type right arm bone to Feng Xiaotian, and the emerald green wood-attribute left leg bone to Ye Lingling.
" The Wind-type is yours, the wood attribute is Lingling's."
She looked at Huo Wu and handed her the last Red piece of her left arm bone. " The Fire-type is yours. This is Lin Mo's intention."
Feng Xiaotian took the Soul Bone, his hands trembling slightly.
He bowed deeply to Dugu Yan, his voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you Yanyan, thank you, Sect Master!"
Huo Wu accepted the Red left arm bone, her face beaming with barely suppressed joy. She nodded to Dugu Yan, her tone sincere. "Thank you."
Dugu Yan waved her hand. "Why thank me? If you want to thank someone, Lin Mo and Xiao Bai. Lin Mo got the item, and Xiao Bai provided it."
The three then turned to Xiao Bai and thanked her.
Xiao Bai snorted and turned her head away, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
Ye Lingling also took the Soul Bone.
According to Lin Mo, the principle for distributing such precious Soul Bone among the people is not to worry about scarcity but about inequality.
If possible, it's best to aim for an average approach.
After thanking Dugu Yan, Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu, like Ye Lingling, accepted their respective Soul Bone and began absorbing them.
The three of them found a spot, sat cross-legged, and attached their Soul Bone to the corresponding parts of their bodies, beginning their respective absorption processes.
Xiao Bai, standing to the side, was clearly very satisfied with everyone's previous reactions.
She slapped her thigh and said with great arrogance, "With my help to protect you, there's nothing to worry about."
As she spoke, a faint gray-blue light emanated from her body, enveloping an area of several dozen meters around her.
After thanking her, everyone quietly stood by and waited for the three of them to finish absorbing the nutrients.
Dugu Yan stood not far away, her gaze shifting back and forth between the three people and Xiao Bai, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
Before long, Ye Lingling was the first to complete the absorption of the Soul Bone.
She opened her eyes, a look of joy flashing in her purple pupils.
She stood up, stretched her left leg, felt the power within it, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
This 50,000-year-old Azure Wave Spirit Vine Left Leg Bone directly boosted her Soul Power from level 76 to level 77.
She successfully surpassed Dugu Yan in cultivation level.
Dugu Yan Frisk the change in Ye Lingling's aura, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, a smile flashing in her eyes.
Although Ye Lingling managed to surpass Dugu Yan in cultivation level thanks to the rewards from the assessment and the feedback from the Soul Bone, Dugu Yan didn't care at all.
She possessed Soul Core before everyone else, and her cultivation speed was unparalleled, surpassing all others and second only to Lin Mo.
She was confident that in the future, her cultivation level would surpass Ye Lingling's, making her the first Soul Douluo among everyone besides Lin Mo.
Before long, Feng Xiaotian became the second person to complete the absorption of the Soul Bone.
He opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
He stood up, stretched his right arm, felt the power contained within it, and a barely suppressed smile appeared on his face.
The right arm bone of this 30,000-year-old Hurricane Seagull is associated with Soul Skill called " Wind Wing Heaven Soar." Once activated, it will increase his movement speed, flight speed, and Wind-type strength by 50%.
This Soul Skill is extremely well-suited to his existing abilities, and can play a significant role in both Pursuit and retreat.
Although his cultivation Soul Ring will only improve after absorbing the seven Soul Ring since he has not yet obtained them, the appearance of this Soul Bone is like a timely rain for him.
This gave him the confidence to pursue a sufficiently powerful Seventh Soul Ring.
Huo Wu was the last to complete the absorption.
She opened her eyes, a flash of Red light appearing briefly within them. She stood up, stretched her body, and felt the changes in her left arm bone.
The left arm bone of the Flame Fin Fish, which is over 50,000 years old, endowed her with Soul Skill called " Flame Fin Slash." Once activated, it can condense a blazing flame blade with extremely strong attack power and a Burn effect.
This Soul Bone directly boosted her Soul Power from level 67 to level 68.
She glanced at Shui Bing'er instinctively, a glint in her eyes.
Shui Bing'er Frisk her gaze and smiled gently.
As two people with completely opposite attributes among the group, there has always been a subtle rivalry between them.
After the three of them had finished absorbing the nutrients, Xiao Bai clapped his hands and stepped forward.
She approached Feng Xiaotian, looked him up and down, then patted him on the shoulder, a gentle surge of Soul Power sweeping over him.
After a moment, Xiao Bai withdrew his hand and gave a rough assessment.
"Your physical fitness is quite good."
Her tone carried a hint of admiration, "At the Seventh Soul Ring position, you can perfectly handle it as long as it doesn't exceed 70,000 years."
"Such cultivation level and physical endurance are quite outstanding even among Sea Soul Master."
However, compared to your cultivation level, your age is quite remarkable.
Feng Xiaotian clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed slightly. "Senior, you flatter me. However, compared to the Sect Master, my cultivation is nothing special."
As for Feng Xiaotian, he was very clear that with his current strength, he was able to directly withstand such a high-age Soul Ring, and that was all thanks to the training he had undergone in the Sea God's Light over the past year.
Besides his Soul Power, this physical body was also one of the results of his arduous cultivation.
Immediately, Xiao Bai's expression changed, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.
She crossed her arms, tilted her head, and looked at Feng Xiaotian with a mocking expression in her eyes.
She teased, "But with your small frame, you dare to try and steal my Soul Ring and Soul Bone? If a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring were placed in front of you, would you dare to absorb it? Aren't you afraid of being burst?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
He scratched his head, gave an awkward laugh, and said in a slightly embarrassed tone, "Senior is too kind. I am quite self-aware."
He didn't dare to take the bait and could only give a vague answer.
Xiao Bai didn't say anything more and turned to look at everyone.
"Just as we agreed before, this kid will come with me on this sea voyage." She pointed at Feng Xiaotian, "I'll take him to find the Seventh Soul Ring that's most suitable for him."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Feng Xiaotian Xiao Bai his hands in thanks to Xiaobai and said, "Thank you for your trouble, senior."
Xiao Bai waved his hand and turned to walk towards the sea.
Feng Xiaotian followed closely behind.
The two arrived at the beach, Xiao Bai leaped into the sea. A flash of gray-blue light appeared, and she instantly transformed into the form of the Demon Soul Great White Shark.
The massive shark body floated on the sea surface, its gray-blue dorsal fin cutting through the water. She glanced back at Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian understood, spread his wolf wings, and leaped onto Xiao Bai's back.
With a low growl, Xiao Bai White's gray-blue figure broke through the waves and sped off into the distant sea.
After seeing Xiao Bai Feng Xiaotian off, everyone found a spot and began cultivating.
Even without the Sea God's Light, a cheat code for cultivation, they still have no intention of letting their guard down.
Just as Lin Mo had told them, the difficulty of the Sea God Trial's assessment increases as you progress, and there is no room for complacency.
A gentle sea breeze caressed the shore, and the waves crashed against the rocks with a soft, splashing sound.
The golden curtain of light Ring Sea shimmered under the sunlight, casting a dreamlike glow over the entire area.
Meanwhile, in a secret underground chamber somewhere on Sea God Island.
The room was dimly lit, with a few faintly glowing mineral stones embedded in the walls to provide illumination.
The Heaven and Earth Origin Power here is much denser than outside.
This was a secret cultivation chamber that Lin Mo had specifically asked Bo Saixi for.
Lin Mo sat cross-legged on a futon in the center of the secret room, with the Charizard lying beside him, its tail swaying gently, the flames at the tip of its tail dancing in the darkness.
He closed his eyes, his breathing was steady, and his mind was focused inward.
Just as Charizard had successfully condensed its own fire and Wind-type Soul Core, Lin Mo also planned to take advantage of this rare opportunity to try to condense his own second Soul Core.
Using the principle of Yin-Yang Complementarity, a second Soul Power Soul Core is condensed.
With the example of Charizard's success preceding him, and relying on his formidable physical attributes and control over his Soul Power far exceeding that of other Soul Master of the same level, Lin Mo was confident that his chances of success were not small.
However, the time required to condense the Second Soul Core may be quite long, even with the help of Charizard that has already condensed Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, helping to quickly accumulate the massive amount of Soul Power needed to condense the Soul Core.
However, the time he needs to successfully condense the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores will definitely not be short, at least not less than the time he took to complete the Body Martial Soul Second Awakening with the pressure of the Sea God's Light.
However, if the fusion is successfully completed, then with the trump cards of the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores, the Charizard's Eighth Soul Skill, the Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the Body Martial Soul Golden Awakening,
By teaming up with Charizard, he gained the right to challenge High Priest Bo Saixi of Sea God Island.
Of course, whether or not you can win depends on actually fighting them.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo opened his eyes and looked at the Charizard beside him.
Charizard sensed his gaze and raised its head to meet his eyes.
A man and a dragon, their eyes met.
Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.
His all-out battle with High Priest Bo Saixi of Sea God Island, was one of the purposes of his trip to Sea God Island, and also the best test of his training results during this period.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and focused his mind on his body.
The Charizard lay down again, closed its eyes, and breathed in Synchronize with Lin Mo.
The secret room fell silent, with only the steady breathing of the man and the dragon echoing in the darkness.
