At this moment, deep within the Sea God Hall.
Bo Saixi sat in the center of the temple, before a huge water mirror that clearly reflected the actions of the people at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing that Tang Feng had grasped the secrets of the Sea God's Light in just one attempt, a look of admiration appeared on her noble face.
"This child... possesses a mind far more meticulous than that of ordinary people."
Her gaze lingered for a moment on the composed figure in the mirror, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
The Lord Sea God chose Dugu Yan.
But among these ten people, Tang Feng is clearly the absolute core.
Why?
Bo Saixi shook her head slightly, but the corners of her lips turned up slightly.
However, this is for the best.
With someone like that by their side, that child... should be able to go much further.
She raised her hand and waved, and the water mirror dissipated.
The temple fell silent once more, with only the mournful sound of the sea breeze whistling through the stone pillars echoing in the empty halls.
Life continued in this constant climbing and self-cultivation.
Day after day, week after week, monotonous, yet fulfilling.
The pressure brought by the Sea God's Light is indeed the best catalyst for cultivation.
In that oppressive atmosphere where they felt they could be thrown back at any moment, no one dared to slack off even for a second.
Every bit of Soul Power consumed is replenished with even greater purity during the next meditation session.
Every instance of physical exhaustion was transformed into greater resilience during the next day's climb.
Four months passed quietly in this silent and steadfast persistence.
At the foot of Sea God Mountain, Tang Feng sat cross-legged on a flat bluestone, his eyes slightly closed, his aura as deep and boundless as the sea.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them.
Level 80.
In four months, he was promoted two levels.
He looked down at his hands; the lines on his palms seemed to be deeper than they had been four months ago.
It's not just about increasing Soul Power, but also about tempering the body and honing the will.
Tang Feng stood up and looked at the Sea God Mountain, which was still shrouded in golden light.
Just then,
A red figure appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
Bo Saixi was still dressed in a red robe, holding a golden scepter, her long, sea-blue hair gleaming softly in the sunlight.
Her gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Tang Feng, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes.
"Four months, two levels advanced, breaking through Level 80. Not bad."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Tang Feng bowed slightly. "Thank you for your praise, senior."
Bo Saixi nodded slightly, raised his right hand, flipped his wrist so that his palm faced upward, revealing a golden bead.
The golden bead looked as if it were carved from the most precious golden crystal, perfectly clear and flawless.
Most remarkably, a faint golden mist rippled within the bead, much like the golden mist that surrounded Tang Feng and his companions when they were subjected to the pressure of the Sea God's Light.
With a flash of golden light, the golden bead flew out and slowly arrived in front of Tang Feng.
Bo Saixi's voice rang in everyone's ears, "Anyone who has accepted the Black Level or higher assessment bestowed by the Lord Sea God will have a chance to obtain God-Given Soul Ring upon reaching their first bottleneck. There's no 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."
She looked at Tang Feng and slowly explained, "It will automatically adapt to the maximum lifespan you can withstand based on your physical strength. In other words, it will grant you as many years as your body can endure. This is a gift bestowed upon the followers by the Lord Sea God."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes revealed surprise and envy.
Tang Feng gazed at the floating golden bead, a glint in his eyes, and confirmed, "Senior means that the higher Soul Master's physical strength, the higher the age of the Soul Ring they obtain?"
"Exactly." Bo Saixi nodded slightly.
Tang Feng took a deep breath, reached out and accepted the golden bead, and bowed solemnly. "Thank you for your gift, Senior."
Bo Saixi waved her hand. "No need to thank me. This is what you deserve. When absorbing it, you only need to crush it gently; don't waste this opportunity."
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished silently from the spot, just as it had appeared.
Tang Feng did not absorb it immediately, but carefully stored it in his Storage Soul Tool.
He returned to the foot of the mountain and took out an item from his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse: a dark gold Left Arm Soul Bone that radiated an alluring luster and power fluctuations.
The Qian Jun Ant Emperor Left Arm Bone.
Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, three Thousand- Qian Jun Ant Emperor, each over 90,000 years old, were subdued by Tang Xiao, Tang Lie, and others, leaving behind this Soul Bone. Elder Tang Yu then gave it to Tang Feng.
At this moment, Tang Feng held the Soul Bone in his palm, carefully sensing it, and vaguely felt that the energy contained in this Soul Bone was far more than 90,000 years old.
What he didn't know was that after the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor died, by some unknown coincidence, their energies converged in this Soul Bone, merging and refining each other, causing the Soul Bone to break through the threshold of 100,000 years.
Immediately needing to improve his physical strength, Tang Feng didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately sat down cross-legged and pressed the Soul Bone against his left arm.
Zhu Zhuqing noticed his movements and silently walked to his side to protect him. The others also gathered around one after another.
The Soul Bone began to fuse.
The moment that violent and powerful energy surged into his body, Tang Feng frowned slightly.
Two hours later.
When Tang Feng opened his eyes again, a faint, dark golden light flashed across his left arm.
He slowly clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power contained within that arm, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The Qian Jun Ant Emperor Left Arm Bone has been successfully fused.
Tang Feng was pleasantly surprised to discover that this was a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone, as it provided two skills.
Skill 1, Ant Emperor Tyrant Body, is a defensive counterattack skill that activates an invincibility state for 15 seconds.
During the duration of this state, the user is immune to all forms of control effects, including stun, paralysis, knockback, and freeze, and cannot be interrupted by any skill.
Physical damage taken is reduced by 70%, and Soul Skill damage is reduced by 50%.
The absorbed damage will be converted into energy and stored in the Left Arm Soul Bone.
After the invincibility state ends, a charged counterattack can be released, unleashing all the damage absorbed within 15 seconds as a power shockwave that attacks a fan-shaped area in a designated direction.
Skill 2, Qian Jun Mountain Shaker, increases the Soul Master's Strength attribute by 300% for five minutes after activation.
During the effect, each attack is accompanied by Qian Jun shockwave. Upon hitting the target or colliding with the target's weapon, a powerful shockwave will be released, attacking enemies within a 10-meter radius and causing a brief stun.
Tang Feng looked down at his left arm, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
To his even greater surprise, his physical strength increased by another 30% during this fusion, and the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer reached 70,000 jin.
He already possessed a powerful body tempered by Ice and Fire Body Refining, the Slaughter Origin, and the Dragon Soul Origin, and he also fused with three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and one 85,000-year-old Soul Bone.
Now, with the addition of this 100,000-year-old Qian Jun Ant Emperor Bone, his physical attributes are probably equivalent to a Level 98 Super Douluo.
Just as he was circulating his Soul Power to examine his entire body, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
The Soul Bone of the four limbs, including the Soft Bone Rabbit of the left leg, the Diamond Tiger of the right leg, the Titan Giant Ape of the right arm, the Qian Jun Ant Emperor of the left arm, and the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King Skull between the eyebrows, were now showing faint signs of resonating with each other.
Each of them emitted a faint light, as if connected and drawn together by an invisible thread.
Tang Feng's heart skipped a beat.
Could this be... a sign of Soul Bone fusion?
He had read in ancient books that when a person possesses multiple high-quality Soul Bone, it is possible to trigger Soul Bone fusion, giving birth to an even more powerful being, and it is even possible to condense them into the legendary " Soul Bone Set ".
But the chance of that happening is one in ten thousand.
He didn't dwell on it further, but simply noted the change down in his mind.
Next, the God-Given Soul Ring.
Tang Feng did not begin immediately.
He first spent three days completely stabilizing the power of the newly acquired Soul Bone, allowing his body to adapt to the surge in power.
On the morning of the fourth day, he sat cross-legged on a flat blue stone at the foot of the mountain, holding the golden God-Given Soul Ring in his palm.
"I'm about to begin. This Soul Ring is quite old, so it will probably take a long time to form. You can continue your cultivation as usual."
Tang Feng looked at his companions who were waiting around him and said.
Everyone nodded silently.
