The sea surface shimmered.
The corpse of the Evil Orca King Levitate in the dark red seawater, and traces of the battle remained in the surrounding waters.
Just as Dugu Yan finished absorbing the Soul Ring, a bone suddenly burst out of the Evil Orca King's corpse and floated in front of her.
A piece of dark red bone, resembling a whale tail, could be vaguely discerned to be located in the right leg Soul Bone.
The Soul Bone floated in mid-air, slowly rotating, its surface shimmering with a dark red light.
Shui Yue'er, standing to the side, said with slight excitement, "It's Soul Bone in the same position as mine..."
She stared at the dark red right leg bone, her eyes sparkling with envy.
Despite saying that, Shui Yue'er was very clear in her heart that although they both had right leg bones, her Soul Bone were incomparable to Dugu Yan's.
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone completely outclasses Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, even though her Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone is of 70,000 years in quality.
Dugu Yan reached out and took the dark red right leg bone; it was warm to the touch.
She could sense the immense energy contained within, a power originating from the same source as the Evil Orca King's Soul Ring —violent and bloodthirsty.
After taking a deep breath, Dugu Yan repeated the previous steps once again.
Golden light emanated from the trident mark between her brows, enveloping the dark red Soul Bone.
Wherever the golden light passed, the dark red patterns on the surface of the Soul Bone seemed to come alive, slowly writhing as if struggling or wailing.
But under the Sea God's Light, the remaining Grudge quickly vanished, the wails gradually faded away, and the color of the Soul Bone changed from dark red to pure blood red.
Dugu Yan closed her eyes and placed the Soul Bone against her right leg.
The moment the Soul Bone touched the skin, a warm sensation came over me.
The absorption of the Soul Bone was much slower than the absorption of the Soul Ring; half an hour later, Dugu Yan had already completed the absorption of the Soul Bone.
She opened her eyes, exhaled a long breath, and her eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
A warm sensation came from her right leg. The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone had merged with her body, nourishing her bones and flesh and bringing her an all-round improvement.
Dugu Yan stood up, stretched her right leg, and felt the power contained within it.
With a gentle kick of his right leg, a dark red light flashed from his leg, carving a long trench in the sea.
The seawater surged to both sides, creating waves several meters high.
After Dugu Yan finished absorbing the nutrients, everyone eagerly gathered around.
Shui Yue'er was the first to step forward, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. " Sister Yanyan, tell me quickly, what level are you now?"
Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Zhu Zhuqing also gathered around, their eyes full of anticipation.
Ye Lingling stood to the side, her purple eyes also filled with laughter. Lin Mo stood on the outer edge of the crowd, arms crossed, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
Even Xiao Bai floated on the surface of the sea, its gray-blue dorsal fin protruding from the water, its eyes fixed on Dugu Yan, awaiting her answer.
Dugu Yan did not hide anything and revealed her Soul Power Level: " Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, as expected of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! Only after personally absorbing it can one truly appreciate its power!"
With a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, plus a year of arduous training, my Soul Power Level has now broken through to level 86!
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, everyone was momentarily stunned.
Although I had somewhat anticipated Dugu Yan's breakthrough, I was still shocked when I actually heard the level of eighty-six from Dugu Yan herself.
Feng Xiaotian's lips twitched, and he muttered, "Level 86... I'm only level 79, a full seven levels behind..."
Huo Wu sighed, crossed her arms, and said in a complicated tone, "How can the difference between people be so great?"
Shui Bing'er said softly, "The enhancement of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is indeed extraordinary. A normal Soul Master would need to cultivate diligently for several years to go from level 80 to level 86!"
A hint of envy flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's cool eyes.
Dugu Yan stood up from the back of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, stretched her right leg, and felt the power contained within it.
She turned to Shui Yue'er and asked with a smile, " Yue'er, what kind of Soul Skill did your Soul Bone give you?"
Shui Yue'er, standing to the side, said with a hint of excitement, "My Soul Bone is in the same position as yours, and it gives me the Soul Skill Orca Shattered Tooth Slash, a group attack Soul Skill."
"What about yours? What about yours?"
Shui Yue'er's tone was quite excited. For Soul Master, Soul Bone are extremely rare, and Soul Bone of different qualities from the same part of the same Soul Beast are even rarer.
As she spoke, she also raised her right leg, and a dark red light flashed from her leg, creating a splash on the sea surface.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan closed her eyes and sensed for a moment before revealing the Soul Skill attached to her right leg bone:
"The two Soul Skill that came with my right leg bone are Orca Demon Axe and Orca Shattered Tooth Slash, both of which are attack Soul Skill, one for single target and one for multiple targets."
"As for the two Soul Skill granted by my Eighth Soul Ring, they are the Jade Phosphor Demon Mirror of Destruction and the Jade Phosphor Orca Demon of Capture."
"The former is for defense, the latter for control; both are quite useful and practical skills!"
Even now, Dugu Yan is still deeply moved.
After personally absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, she finally understood why Soul Master were so eager to acquire Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
For a normal Soul Master, absorbing a Soul Ring grants only one Soul Skill, which means their choices will inevitably be biased.
But Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is completely different, take herself as an example.
The four Soul Skill provided to her by the Evil Orca King included two offensive Soul Skill, one defensive Soul Skill, and one control Soul Skill.
They gave her a comprehensive boost.
Huo Wu clicked her tongue in amazement, "One Soul Ring plus one Soul Bone, four Soul Skill —attack, defense, and control are all included. If outsiders knew this, they'd be green with envy."
Feng Xiaotian said with deep feeling, "Indeed, a normal Soul Master would need at least several Soul Ring to acquire such comprehensive abilities."
Furthermore, the quality of Soul Skill cannot be guaranteed.
Shui Bing'er said softly, "This is one of the reasons why Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are so precious. They not only provide high-quality Soul Ring and Soul Bone, but also enhance Soul Master's abilities in all aspects."
Shui Yue'er clung to Dugu Yan's arm, her eyes sparkling. " Sister Yanyan, with your current strength, you're probably considered invincible below the Titled Douluo, right?"
Dugu Yan smiled and shook her head, "Winning against ordinary Titled Douluo shouldn't be a problem, but with A-Mo around, I wouldn't dare say I'm invincible below the Titled Douluo level."
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed, their gazes instinctively turning to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo shrugged and didn't reply.
He leaned against the Charizard, arms crossed, a smile playing on his lips.
Dugu Yan turned to the others and asked with interest, "And what about you? How are you doing now?"
Feng Xiaotian shrugged, his tone relaxed. "The reward is the same as before, a level one increase in Soul Power. My current Soul Power Level is seventy-nine. It won't be long before I become a Soul Douluo."
"I'm level 77," Huo Wu, raising her hand. A ball of orange-red flame danced in her palm, radiating a scorching heat.
"I'm the same as Huo Wu," Shui Bing'er said.
Shui Yue'er jumped up, waving her arms. "I'm really lucky! This time I got an extra Soul Bone, plus the one-level Soul Power boost from the previous year's cultivation and the passing the test, my Soul Power Level has directly reached level seventy-five, just like Zhu Zhuqing."
As she spoke, she twirled around, her face full of...
Zhu Zhuqing nodded without saying anything.
Ye Lingling said softly, "I haven't absorbed Soul Ring yet, so my Soul Power Level is still 80. The specific Soul Power Level will only be reflected after I absorb the Soul Ring."
She raised her hand, Nine Heart Begonia bloomed in her palm, with seven Soul Ring surrounding the flower, emitting a soft pinkish-white light.
"You don't need to look at me." Feeling the gazes directed at him, Lin Mo said with a smile, "My cultivation level won't break through anytime soon; I'm still Level 89."
He leaned against the Charizard, looking completely relaxed.
Dugu Yan smiled and looked at Lin Mo, saying, " A-Mo, you'd better work hard, or your older sister will catch up with you soon."
Lin Mo smiled and said, " Sister Yanyan, you'll know how difficult that hurdle is when you reach Level 89."
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at him and didn't reply.
She looked around at everyone and asked, "So, what were the contents of your Fifth Trial?"
The content of our five tests is roughly the same.
Feng Xiaotian glanced at the others who had also passed the Black Level Assessment, and slowly said, " The Fifth Trial for us Black Level Assessment is to defeat a Titled Douluo."
"Our opponents are all one of the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo, but none of them are the same; each person has a different objective."
Just then, Ye Lingling revealed the questions she had just sensed for the fifth test. "My Fifth Trial is to assist you in passing your respective assessments, but it does not include A-Mo..."
"Just as A-Mo said, the later tests are to examine the results of our training over the past period, while the Fifth Trial will examine our individual strength," Dugu Yan said thoughtfully.
"My Fifth Trial is a tiny bit more difficult than yours: the Fifth Trial of the Sea God's Nine Trials, the Challenge, the Sacred Pillar Guardian."
The timer starts from the first Sacred Pillar Guardian challenge; all challenges must be completed within thirty-six hours. Defeating Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians is required to pass.
"But with Lingling's help, I think there won't be any problems!"
Dugu Yan spoke, she looked at Ye Lingling with eyes full of trust.
Before everyone could be shocked by the difficulty of Dugu Yan's test, Lin Mo's lips twitched, and he revealed his Fifth Trial:
" The Fifth Trial the Top Level Eight Trials trials, a challenge against the Sea God Douluo: you must survive for more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn in your battle with the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi to pass!"
Everyone was stunned by Lin Mo's words.
Even Xiao Bai, who was eavesdropping nearby, was stunned.
Only now do they truly understand the Lord Sea God's immense "malice" or perhaps approval towards Lin Mo.
Shui Yue'er's eyes widened, and she shoved an egg into her mouth. "An incense stick's time? To withstand an incense stick's time under the attack of the Sea God Douluo? That's a Level 99 Peerless Douluo!"
Her voice was filled with shock, and she instinctively hugged Shui Bing'er's arm tightly.
Feng Xiaotian gasped, "The sect leader's tests are getting more and more outrageous. The previous tests were already ridiculous enough, but this time it's a direct challenge against the High Priest."
Huo Wu patted Lin Mo's shoulder, suppressing a laugh, and said, " Lin Mo, it seems the Lord Sea God has great faith in your abilities!"
Her voice was teasing, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
Along the way, everyone had gained some understanding of the difficulty of Lin Mo's assessment.
As Top Level Eight Trials, Lin Mo's examination difficulty far surpasses that of Dugu Yan, who possesses the Sea God's Nine Trials.
After hearing about the difficulty of Dugu Yan's test, everyone subconsciously thought that even if Lin Mo's test became more difficult, he would at most face the Beat Up of seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo at the same time.
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Mo's Fifth Trial was actually lasting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn under Bo Saixi's control.
After being named Titled Douluo, especially after reaching Level 95, each level of cultivation advancement can be considered a new realm, which is no exaggeration.
Even if the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo joined forces, no one would think they would be a match for Bo Saixi.
Shui Bing'er asked softly, " Lin Mo, are you confident?" Her purple eyes were full of concern.
Lin Mo waved his hand in front of him, sweeping away his frustration, and said with a hint of resignation, "It's not a big problem. I'm quite confident I can hold on for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
However, despite saying that, an unprecedented fighting spirit flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
If he remembered correctly, Bo Saixi had mentioned to them that if they could defeat her earlier,
Except for Dugu Yan, whose Sea God's Nine Trials can only be considered as passing the first six trials, everyone else's trials, including his and Ye Lingling's, can be considered as directly passing all the trials.
He had always wanted to have a real fight with Bo Saixi, but he just never had the chance.
I thought I wouldn't have a real showdown with this high priest until at least the sixth level of the exam, but I didn't expect the moment to come so soon.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.
His eyes gleamed with fighting spirit, and his aura intensified.
The Charizard sensed his emotions, raised its head, let out a low growl, and the flames on its tail flickered and became more active.
Everyone nodded in agreement with Lin Mo's statement.
If anyone else dared to say such a thing—challenging the Sea God Douluo, whose cultivation level was ten levels higher than their own, with a cultivation Level 89 —they would only think that person had lost their mind or gone mad.
But if this person were replaced by Lin Mo, everyone would believe him unconditionally.
The reason is simple: Lin Mo has created far too many things.
Moreover, looking at Sea God Island now, only Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi is qualified to serve as an examiner for Lin Mo's subsequent assessment.
The others on Sea God Island, even the Sea Dragon Douluo who was the most powerful among the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo, were no match for Lin Mo.
Xiao Bai swam to Lin Mo's side, its gray-blue shark body floating on the surface of the sea, its eyes staring straight at him, filled with complex emotions.
She said, "Lord Lin Mo, I know the High Priest's strength better than you do. Even if our entire Demon Soul Great White Shark clan attacked together, we wouldn't be a match for her."
"You're going to challenge her directly in your Fifth Trial?"
Her voice was filled with utter bewilderment; in her view, the Lord Sea God was pushing Lin Mo to his death.
Even if Soul Douluo is incredibly powerful, how can he possibly contend with Bo Saixi? She is the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Peerless Douluo at Level 99.
In the eyes of these believers in the Sea God, after the Sea God ascended to heaven, the high priest who took charge of the sea Sea God 'Sea God Hall on his behalf was just like the Sea God in the world!
Lin Mo lowered his eyes to look at her, his tone calm. "The content of the assessment was determined by the Sea God, not chosen by me."
Xiao Bai opened its mouth as if to say something, but ultimately kept it closed.
The Lord Sea God would never give a test that he couldn't pass. Lin Mo's Fifth Trial was to endure under Bo Saixi's command for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, which meant that, in the Lord Sea God's eyes, Lin Mo had a chance to do it!
Lin Mo is hiding his true intentions quite well!
After chatting for a while, everyone's gaze shifted back to the corpse of the Evil Orca King, whose Soul Ring and Soul Bone had been absorbed by Dugu Yan.
Perhaps because they had run out of luck, after wiping out the entire Evil Spirit Orca clan, the only Soul Bone they Harvest were the two right leg bones absorbed by Dugu Yan and Shui Yue'er.
The other Evil Spirit Orca did not provide them with any Soul Bone.
Huo Wu sighed, "What a pity, out of more than three hundred Evil Spirit Orca, only two Soul Bone were obtained." Her voice was filled with regret.
Feng Xiaotian shook his head. "That's already pretty good. Normally, you'd be lucky to get a Soul Bone from several hundred Soul Beast."
Shui Bing'er said softly, "The quality of the Evil Spirit Orca is already higher than that of ordinary Sea Soul Beast. It's already considered very lucky to get two Soul Bone from it."
Xiao Bai, standing to the side, stared pitifully at the corpse of the Evil Orca King.
Judging from Lin Mo and his group's actions over the past two days, Xiao Bai could guess that she definitely had a share in the corpse, but Lin Mo would never leave her the most valuable treasure among them.
Two days ago, in front of many Demon Soul Great White Shark, Lin Mo and his group took away the brain of half an adult orca as a trophy.
However, they didn't take it all; they left half of the whale brains for the Demon Soul Great White Shark.
These things are called Whale Rubber by the name Lin Mo and his group are more familiar with.
No one showed any politeness towards this; they had also put in a great deal of effort in this Fourth Trial.
If they didn't know, that's fine. But now that they know Whale Rubber has such miraculous effects, it's impossible for them to leave all this precious stuff to Xiao Bai.
Their bodies had long since reached their limit in their resistance to Whale Rubber, but they still had families.
This is something that should be reserved for other members of the sect; it is a highly nourishing and beneficial substance.
Seeing Xiao Bai's expression, Dugu Yan couldn't help but laugh, " Sister Xiao Bai, don't look at me like that. We only took half of the Whale Rubber; the rest is for you."
Xiao Bai was clearly a little downcast, but she didn't say anything more.
She was always grateful to Lin Mo and his group.
Without Lin Mo and his group's help, even if they had wiped out the entire Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, they would never have been able to do it.
Without Ye Lingling's help, even if they could have destroyed the Evil Spirit Orca Evil Spirit Orca, they would never have been able to do so with zero losses.
Dugu Yan turned to look at the corpse of the Evil Orca King, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.
Soon, under everyone's gaze, Dugu Yan descended and landed on the corpse of the Evil Orca King, placing her palm on its skin.
Emerald green light surged from her palm, and the toxins that had seeped into the flesh and blood of the Evil Orca King seemed to be summoned, drifting out of the corpse and re-entering Dugu Yan's body.
Before long, the emerald green color on the corpse of the Evil Orca King had completely faded, returning to its original grayish-black.
Lin Mo, who was standing to the side, flicked his finger, and a flash of blood appeared.
Without the protection of Soul Power, the skull of the Evil Orca King was no longer so indestructible and was easily broken open.
The blood-red light precisely sliced open the skull of the Evil Orca King, the cut clean and without any excess.
Dugu Yan raised her hand and lifted it up, revealing the golden Whale Rubber inside.
The Whale Rubber of the 100,000-year-old Evil Orca King is of extremely high quality.
Whale Rubber is golden in color and has a rich aroma.
The surface of the Whale Rubber has a faint sheen, and under the sunlight, it shines like gold.
Even from a great distance, one can feel the pure energy contained within it.
Xiao Bai, standing to the side, was practically drooling. Its grey-blue eyes were fixed on the piece of Whale Rubber, and it let out a low growl.
Her body swam forward a few meters unconsciously, then abruptly stopped.
Dugu Yan showed no politeness and collected them all.
She may have developed resistance to the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue!
Dugu Yan carefully placed the Whale Rubber into her Storage Soul Tool, clapped her hands, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
After finishing packing everything, Dugu Yan turned around and looked down at Xiao Bai, saying with a smile, " Sister Xiao Bai, I've absorbed all the toxins from the Evil Orca King's body. You can eat it normally if you want."
"The taste might be a little strange because it's been contaminated with toxins."
"It's alright, it's alright," Xiao Bai said excitedly.
She hated him so much she wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood—this was a true reflection of her feelings towards the Evil Orca King.
The two sides were sworn enemies, and this was compounded by the fact that the Evil Orca King had killed her brother.
Now, with the help of Dugu Yan, the future Lord Sea God, Xiao Bai has already achieved this goal.
She let out a low growl, and the surrounding Demon Soul Great White Shark swarmed around, completely encircling the corpse of the Evil Orca King.
They opened their enormous jaws and tore at the flesh of the Evil Orca King, their eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge.
Soon, at Xiao Bai's behest, the corpse of the Evil Orca King was transported back to the vicinity of Sea God Island.
That was Xiao Bai and his group's base; the other Evil Spirit Orca carcasses had already been brought back beforehand.
As the saying goes, "one whale falls and all things are born," with the help and nourishment of these Evil Spirit Orca corpses, the overall strength of this Demon Soul Great White Shark clan will make great strides in the future.
Just like before, the group was escorted back to Sea God Island by the Demon Soul Great White Shark to prepare for their Fifth Trial.
