After successfully passing the Fourth Trial, the group returned to Sea God Island, but did not immediately begin the Fifth Trial test.
The Fifth Trial will continue for one year, just like the previous ones.
The morning after returning to Seahorse City, Xiao Bai took the initiative to come to his door.
Today she wore a gray-blue long dress, and her long hair was casually tied up with a hairband, making her look neat and tidy.
"I have brought you specific information about the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo."
Xiao Bai stood in the center of the living room, her gaze sweeping over everyone. "Since you'll be facing them in the Fifth Trial, it's always good to know about your opponents beforehand."
Everyone gathered around and sat down on the sofa.
Xiao Bai cleared his throat and began to introduce:
"The names of the Seven Sacred Pillars are Sea Horse, Sea Devil, Spear of the Sea, Illusion of the Sea, Sea Witch, Sea Star, and Sea Dragon, and each is guarded by a Titled Douluo."
"You've already met Sea Horse Douluo Ou Ya. His Martial Soul is Sea Horse, his cultivation level is around ninety-two or ninety-three, and he excels in defense."
" Sea Ghost Douluo, Martial Soul: Devil Fish, Cultivation Level 92-93, Skilled in Control."
" Sea Spear Douluo, with the Martial Soul Spear of the Sea, and a cultivation level of ninety-three, is a Power Attack System Titled Douluo with extremely strong offensive capabilities. He is the most ferocious attacker among the Seven Sacred Pillars."
" Sea Illusion Douluo, Martial Soul Illusory Snake, has a cultivation level of ninety-three or ninety-four. He excels at creating illusions and is the strongest among the Seven Sacred Pillars besides Sea Dragon Douluo."
" Sea Maiden Douluo, Martial Soul: Sea Demon Flute, Cultivation Level 92, Specializes in Sonic Attacks."
" Sea Star Douluo, with Sea Star Martial Soul and a cultivation level of ninety-two, is strictly speaking the weakest of the Seven Sacred Pillars, but excels in control."
" Sea Dragon Douluo, Martial Soul: Sea Dragon, Cultivation Level 95, the strongest among the Seven Sacred Pillars, a Power Attack System Titled Douluo, whose strength far surpasses the other six."
After finishing his introduction in one breath, Xiao Bai picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.
They already knew their respective opponents yesterday.
The examiner for Shui Yue'er's Fifth Trial was Sea Horse Douluo Ou Ya, who was also an old acquaintance of theirs.
Zhu Zhuqing faced off against the Sea Maiden Douluo, while Feng Xiaotian faced off against the Sea Ghost Douluo.
Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu faced off against Sea Spear Douluo and Sea Dragon Douluo, respectively.
When Xiao Bai heard from Huo Wu that her opponent was Sea Dragon Douluo, she was stunned for a moment.
A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes as she looked at Huo Wu.
She simply couldn't understand why Huo Wu, whose cultivation wasn't the highest among the five, would be facing off against the strongest Sea Dragon Douluo.
Surely not all of these people are like Lin Mo, hiding some unknown methods.
After chatting for a while longer, everyone dispersed.
Huo Wu returned to her room, closed the door, leaned against it, and let out a long sigh.
She raised her right hand, and a ball of orange-red flame appeared in her palm.
The flames were extremely hot; the temperature inside the room rose several degrees as soon as they appeared.
Huo Wu looked at the flame in her palm, a slight smile playing on her lips.
After consuming the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, the quality of her flames underwent a qualitative leap.
Later, during the Tidal Body Tempering, he broke through his own limits and completed the Silver Awakening, which also propelled the Fire-type of his Fire Shadow Martial Soul to its final advancement.
The Ultimate Fire.
She has now reached the pinnacle of Fire-type Soul Master in terms of attributes.
Although her cultivation level was only 77, she was confident that she could fight even a Titled Douluo thanks to the advantage of her Ultimate Fire.
Furthermore, with the trump card of Silver Awakening and the support of Ye Lingling, she is not without the power to fight against Sea Dragon Douluo.
As evening fell, everyone gathered in the living room to continue discussing the Fifth Trial.
Ye Lingling sat down next to Lin Mo and said softly, "My mission is to provide healing and support to Yanyan during their battles."
As long as you're not dead, as long as you have a breath left, I can bring you back in time.
Dugu Yan leaned against Lin Mo's other side, arms crossed, and said in a relaxed tone, "My assessment is to complete seven matches within three days."
With Lingling around, efficiency shouldn't be low.
Lin Mo glanced at her and nodded.
If there's one person he's least worried about among everyone, it would be Dugu Yan.
For Dugu Yan, passing the seven trials in thirty-six hours, or three days, is simply a matter of efficiency; passing them will be no problem at all.
With her already possessed Soul Core and Soul Power Level of 86, Dugu Yan surpassed even the Sea Dragon Douluo, who was at Level 95, in terms of Soul Power quality and endurance.
In terms of Soul Power, she was not at a disadvantage; in fact, in terms of the configuration of her Martial Soul, Soul Ring, and Soul Bone, Dugu Yan even surpassed these Sea Douluo.
Losing? There's no way I could lose!
This was with only Dugu Yan by herself, but now with Ye Lingling, a top-tier healer, there's even more time to clear the level.
Lin Mo snapped out of his thoughts and looked at everyone, "If you really can't pass, there's a temporary solution."
Everyone looked at him.
Lin Mo slowly said, "I'll go up and spar with the examiners first, and then you can proceed with the assessment after I've brought them down. This will greatly reduce the difficulty of the assessment."
After he finished speaking, the living room fell silent for a moment.
Shui Yue'er was the first to jump up, hands on her hips, righteously refusing. "No way! This is a test of my strength, and I will pass it on my own merits!"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her tone calm. "I disagree too. This is my last exam, and I don't want to have any regrets."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Lin Mo looked at them, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled.
"Alright, then it's your decision."
The Fifth Trial was the final test for Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Yue'er. Using this method would reduce the total reward after passing the test, which was something neither of them wanted to see.
For others, this is also an excellent opportunity to test their own abilities, and they don't want to miss it.
Since that's the case, let them go all out.
Even if he fails in the end, the worst that can happen is that the reward after passing the test will be reduced, and he still has a final remedy.
For the next month, everyone rested well and focused on adjusting their condition to be in top form for the Fifth Trial.
No one Slack Off, and no one was overly stressed.
Practice when you should practice, and rest when you should rest.
Life went on peacefully.
During this time, Lin Mo helped Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan take Whale Rubber.
The three shared the Whale Rubber produced by the Evil Orca King.
The Whale Rubber was golden in color and emitted a rich aroma; even after being stored for some time, its quality remained excellent.
Dugu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed and put the piece of Whale Rubber she had been given into her mouth.
The Whale Rubber melted in the mouth, turning into a warm current that slid down the throat and into the stomach.
She closed her eyes and began the refining process.
Ye Lingling sat beside her, also closing her eyes to refine the essence.
Lin Mo leaned against the headboard and put the last piece of Whale Rubber he had been given into his mouth.
The moment the Whale Rubber entered my stomach, a warm sensation spread from my lower abdomen, flowing through my limbs and bones.
Lin Mo closed his eyes and guided the heat to circulate within his body. While ordinary Whale Rubber had no effect on him, the Whale Rubber produced by the Evil Orca King, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, could indeed enhance his abilities.
This was already very difficult for Lin Mo.
His physical abilities have now reached an extraordinary level, and rare natural treasures like Whale Rubber, which can further enhance them, are extremely scarce.
The 100,000-year-old Whale Rubber produced by the Evil Orca King is indeed exceptionally effective.
An hour later, the three of them completed the refining process.
Dugu Yan opened her eyes, a satisfied smile on her face, "I feel stronger now. The effects of this 100,000-year-old Whale Rubber are indeed much stronger than those of the 10,000-year-old one."
Ye Lingling opened her eyes and nodded. "Yes, I also feel the improvement."
Lin Mo leaned against the headboard, lost in thought.
While the Evil Orca King is powerful, it is ultimately only within the realm of an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. If its Whale Rubber has such an effect, then the Whale Rubber of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King...
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is the most powerful being in the ocean.
Without taking the exception of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King can be said to be the Soul Beast with the closest cultivation level to a million years.
The Whale Rubber produced in its brain is absolutely highly nutritious.
Even for Lin Mo, it can have a significant nourishing effect.
Dugu Yan glanced at him and said softly, " The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is not easy to deal with. Let's deal with it later."
Lin Mo nodded without replying.
He snapped out of his thoughts and his gaze fell on the two women.
Dugu Yan wore a light blue silk nightgown, the hem of which only reached mid-thigh, with the neckline slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone and a patch of snow-white skin.
The nightgown is made of smooth fabric and clings to the body's curves, highlighting a slender waist and rounded hips.
A pair of long, straight legs were encased in flesh-colored stockings, which gleamed softly under the light.
Ye Lingling was wearing a pale yellow lace nightgown, the hem of which reached her knees. The fabric was thin and light, and one could vaguely see the matching underwear underneath.
A pair of long, slender legs were encased in white over-the-knee stockings, with faint marks left by the stocking tops.
Her long hair was casually tied up with a hairband, with a few stray strands falling beside her ears, making her neck appear even longer.
Lin Mo looked at them, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"It's still early," he said. "How about we do some more exercise?"
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at him, but did not refuse.
Ye Lingling lowered her head, her ears turning slightly red, and remained silent.
Lin Mo reached out and put his arm around their waists, pulling them closer to him.
Dugu Yan leaned into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and hung on him.
She looked up, kissed Lin Mo on the cheek, and then looked at him with a smile.
Ye Lingling leaned stiffly on his shoulder, not daring to look up at him.
She could feel Lin Mo's hand gently caressing her buttocks; through the thin nightgown, the warmth of his palm was clearly discernible.
Lin Mo smiled, picked them both up, and carried them towards the bedroom.
The following morning.
Sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled patterns on the floor.
On the bed, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were curled up in the quilt, fast asleep.
Both women had slightly furrowed brows, showing signs of fatigue even in their sleep.
Lin Mo was already awake. He leaned against the headboard, looking at the two people beside him, a slight smile playing on his lips.
This Whale Rubber is great! Whale Rubber!
He got up quietly, dressed, and left the room.
A month passed quickly.
After this period of rest, everyone is in top condition.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, everyone was already in the living room.
After breakfast, the group left Seahorse City and headed towards the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
The group moved with light steps and soon arrived at the familiar Sea Within the Sea.
The Sea Horse Sacred Pillar still stands on the platform in the middle of the sea, its Sea God's Light shining brightly in the Morning Sun.
Sea Horse Douluo Ou Ya was sitting upright under the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, cultivating, just as they had when they first met Sea Horse Douluo.
Sensing the arrival of everyone, Sea Horse Douluo slowly opened his eyes.
He stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"It's been a long time. I'm sure everyone's strength has improved considerably."
His gaze finally landed on Lin Mo, lingering for a moment.
Others may not be aware of the specific assessment requirements for Lin Mo and Lin Mo team, but Sea Horse Douluo, as their examiner, has the authority to review those requirements.
He naturally knew the specific content of Lin Mo's Fifth Trial.
He challenged the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi and endured for more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
This assessment requirement even made him, a Titled Douluo, feel alarmed.
Sea Horse Douluo withdrew his gaze, his tone calm. "Have you come here for the Fifth Trial?"
Shui Yue'er stepped forward, smiling sweetly, "Yes, senior. My opponent in the Fifth Trial is you. Please give me your guidance."
Sea Horse Douluo nodded.
Shui Yue'er turned to look at Ye Lingling, Ye Lingling understood. The two of them rode the waves together and landed steadily on the triangular platform below the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
Sea Horse Douluo flashed and arrived on the platform, standing opposite the two.
His expression softened considerably as he looked at Shui Yue'er and said gently, "Little girl, defeat me, and you will pass your Fifth Trial."
Don't worry if you fail; you'll have another chance to try again within a year.
"During the assessment, I will not rely on the Sea God's Power within the Sacred Pillar; I will only rely on my own strength to assess you."
At this point, Sea Horse Douluo paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to the crowd on the shore. "Your assessment will be the same; the other Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo will also not use the Sea God's Power to assess you."
"Thank you, senior." Shui Yue'er bowed respectfully.
After straightening up, she took a deep breath, a determined look flashing in her eyes.
The Dolphin Martial Soul instantly possessed the body.
Two yellow, two purple, and three black Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath her feet, gently pulsating around her.
At the same time, Ye Lingling also released her Martial Soul.
The Nine Heart Begonia bloomed in her palm, with seven Soul Ring surrounding the flower, emitting a soft pinkish-white light.
Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—the colors of the seven Soul Ring were particularly striking under the sunlight.
At the same time that the two women released their Martial Soul, Sea Horse Douluo also released his own Martial Soul.
In an instant, he was enveloped in a layer of grayish-white bone armor, and a huge phantom of Sea Horse, remarkably similar to the statue atop the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, appeared behind him.
Two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Ring shone brightly at the same time.
The aura of Titled Douluo was released without reservation, pressing down on the two women.
But when his gaze fell on Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia, his pupils contracted slightly.
Seven Soul Ring, two purple and five black.
A Quasi-Soul Douluo has the same number of Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as a Titled Douluo.
The last trace of underestimation in Sea Horse Douluo's mind vanished instantly.
Without the slightest hesitation, the three present unleashed their respective Martial Soul Avatar.
The Sea Horse Douluo's body instantly merged with the white bone armor on his body, transforming into a giant Sea Horse with a body length of over three meters.
At the same time, his Sixth Soul Ring lit up.
A ring of light blue ripples emanated from his body, transforming into a shield that firmly enveloped him.
Ye Lingling activated the flight Soul Skill granted by the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and her figure floated up, finding a safe spot in the Sea Within the Sea to avoid the main battlefield.
At the same time, pinkish-white light spread across the sea surface, and the healing light of the Nine Heart Begonia also spread throughout the entire Sea Within the Sea, enveloping both Sea Horse Douluo and Shui Yue'er.
On the other side, Shui Yue'er also released her Martial Soul Avatar.
With the dolphin Martial Soul Possession her, her body and Martial Soul merged into one, transforming into a Luminous Jade Dolphin over five meters long.
Seven Soul Ring surrounded the dolphin, emitting various colors of light.
Her Fifth Soul Ring suddenly lit up.
Orca Demon Slash.
A dark red beam of light shot out from the dolphin's tail, like a crescent moon, slashing towards Sea Horse Douluo.
At the same time, the dolphin's tail also lit up slightly, and a series of red lights shot out.
Orca Shattered Tooth Slash.
The two attacks struck Sea Horse Douluo almost simultaneously, one after the other.
A flash of red light appeared first, followed by a barrage of attacks.
A dark red light exploded on the Sea Horse Douluo's protective shield, emitting a piercing roar.
The light blue shield formed by the Sixth Soul Skill was easily torn apart like paper under the combined attack.
The Orca Demon Slash pierced through the protective barrier, followed closely by the Orca Shattered Tooth Slash, which struck the Sea Horse Douluo's main body.
Blood splattered.
A deep, bone-revealing wound appeared on the Sea Horse body that the Sea Horse Douluo had transformed into, exposing the bright red flesh beneath.
He grunted and staggered back several meters, his eyes filled with surprise.
"These are... the Soul Ring and Soul Bone produced by the Evil Spirit Orca?"
Shui Yue'er did not answer. The dolphin flipped in the air, adjusting its posture, preparing to launch the next attack.
Sea Horse Douluo steadied himself, blood still gushing from his wounds.
He took a deep breath, and his Fifth Soul Ring suddenly lit up.
The two short arms of the Sea Horse upper body of the Sea Horse Douluo clenched into fists and punched out, accompanied by a giant wave.
A giant wave rose into the air, condensing into a fist shape, and suddenly crashed down on the dolphin form that Shui Yue'er had transformed into.
boom!
The enormous impact exploded on the sea surface, splashing Heavenly Water.
Shui Yue'er let out a muffled groan as her body was blasted backward, sliding dozens of meters across the sea before barely managing to regain her balance.
But it quickly returned to normal.
After the mist dissipated, Sea Horse Douluo was surprised to find that the little girl, whose cultivation was only at the seventh ring, was completely unharmed after taking a heavy blow from his Fifth Soul Skill in his Martial Soul Avatar state.
However, Sea Horse Douluo quickly Frisk something amiss.
He wasn't completely unharmed; rather, thanks to Ye Lingling's healing, the injuries he sustained were quickly healed.
The pinkish-white light fell on Shui Yue'er, rapidly healing her injuries, even restoring her damaged internal organs to their original state within a few breaths.
Sea Horse Douluo raised his head and looked at Ye Lingling was floating in the air.
Ye Lingling smiled, and the Nine Heart Begonia swayed gently in her palm.
The healing light she released not only enveloped Shui Yue'er, but also Sea Horse Douluo.
Sea Horse Douluo was stunned.
Is this meant to heal me? To heal your enemy?
This absurd idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Before he could figure out the reason for this scene, his expression suddenly changed.
The pinkish-white light that fell upon him did not heal his injuries; instead, it caused a strange change within his body.
The moment those healing rays entered his body, they caused a strange distortion within him.
The muscles began to twitch uncontrollably, the bones made cracking sounds, and even the Soul Power showed signs of disorder.
Sea Horse Douluo's expression changed drastically, and he quickly diverted a portion of his Soul Power to Sheer Force suppress the distorted power.
He could sense that if left unchecked and allowed that force to continue developing, it would definitely cause him irreversible damage.
What kind of ability is this?
The same healing light brought healing to Shui Yue'er, but turned into distortion when it fell on him?
Sea Horse Douluo was horrified, but there was no time to think further.
Shui Yue'er has rushed up again.
The dolphin traced a graceful arc on the sea surface as it darted toward Sea Horse Douluo.
Her Fifth Soul Ring lit up again, Orca Demon Slash ready to be unleashed.
Sea Horse Douluo gritted his teeth, trying to suppress the mutation within his body while simultaneously dealing with Shui Yue'er's attacks.
Because he needed to Analytic the suppression, his strength was significantly reduced, and even his speed and reaction time became much slower.
Without needing to consider her own defense, Shui Yue'er's attacks became more open and unrestrained.
Ye Lingling's healing light continued to envelop the entire battlefield, constantly repairing Shui Yue'er's injuries.
With one side gaining and the other losing, Sea Horse Douluo's situation became increasingly difficult.
shore.
Lin Mo silently took all of this in, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be too much to ask of Shui Yue'er to challenge Titled Douluo on her own.
With her current cultivation level, in a one-on-one situation, she could at most defeat some skilled Eight-Ring Soul Douluo.
Defeating Titled Douluo like Sea Horse Douluo is extremely difficult; the success rate is practically zero.
Fortunately, Sea God would never give participants a test they couldn't pass.
With Ye Lingling joining, the two-on-one situation became completely different.
Under Ye Lingling's treatment, Shui Yue'er became qualified to fight Titled Douluo head-on.
Her leg Soul Bone Soul Skill, which is 70,000 years old, also gives her the ability to harm Titled Douluo.
This battle has turned into a war of attrition; it's a matter of who can't hold out first.
Ye Lingling's hidden ability to heal aberrations added an extra chip to the scales of victory, completely tilting the outcome in her and Shui Yue'er's favor.
