Dugu Yan and Lin Mo also passed their trials, with Lin Mo receiving a three-thousand-five-hundred-year increase to his Soul Ring ages.

• Dugu Yan received five percent Sea God Affinity, while Lin Mo received a 3,500-year increase to each of Charizard’s Soul Rings.

• Lin Mo told Huo Wu that he had prepared something for her and considered distributing the Immortal Herbs he had stored before the Second Trial.

Bo Saixi brought Lin Mo and the others to Raging Wave Despair and explained the Third Trial, which required them to endure crushing waves on Sinking Silver Pillars for set hours each day. After a year of grueling training, Huo Wu awakened her Fire Shadow Martial Soul to Silver-Level Second Awakening and seemed to attain Ultimate Fire.

• Bo Saixi led Lin Mo and the others to Raging Wave Despair, where she revealed the Sinking Silver Pillars and set their daily endurance requirements for the Third Trial.
• The waves stripped away the group’s Soul Skill enhancements, and the group struggled through their first day while Lin Mo endured the impact with ease.

• During the tenth month, Huo Wu’s Fire Shadow Martial Soul underwent a Silver-Level Second Awakening beneath the pounding waves.
• Huo Wu sensed that her flames had reached the realm of Ultimate Fire and wondered whether she had finally caught up to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo and his companions completed the Third Sea God Trial and learned the demands of the Battle of Whale and Shark, while Lin Mo hinted that a major opportunity awaited them after they gained eight Soul Rings.
