Chapter Summaries

Tang Feng and his companions trained for a month to prepare for crossing the Ring Sea, where their Soul Rings and Martial Souls were sealed. They began their crossing by confronting Xiao Bai, and the chapter ended with Tang Feng, Dugu Yan, and Tang Jian fighting her while the others held back the sharks.

• Xiao Bai drove Tai Long and Niu Zhen onto shore, then warned the group that she would stop anyone from crossing the Ring Sea.
• Tang Feng reasoned that Xiao Bai was forbidden from killing them and proposed a month of underwater combat training before attempting the crossing.

• Tang Feng met Xiao Bai's tail with the Ruyi Jingu Bang as Dugu Yan and Tang Jian joined him and helped surround her.
• Tang Feng used Thousandfold Waves while Dugu Yan harassed Xiao Bai with poison and Tang Jian attacked her blind spots with the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes; the others kept the surrounding sharks at bay.

Tang Feng and his companions defeated Xiao Bai’s blockade and passed the Ring Sea trial, though Tang Feng received no reward. They learned their demanding Tidal Body Tempering requirements and followed Bo Saixi toward the next trial.

• Tang Feng, Dugu Yan, and Tang Jian held off Xiao Bai while the other seven used Flying Mushroom Sausages to cross the Ring Sea and pass the Second Trial.

• Everyone learned that their Third Trial was Tidal Body Tempering, with requirements ranging from six to twenty-two hours per day.
• Bo Saixi arrived and led the group away from Sea God Mountain, with Tang Feng keeping pace easily while holding Zhu Zhuqing’s hand.

Bo Saixi took Tang Feng and the others to Raging Wave Despair, where their third trial required them to endure relentless waves while restrained to stone pillars. Tang Feng used the pressure to cultivate and began attempting to compress his Soul Power into a Soul Core, alarming his companions when he remained motionless for more than ten days.

• Bo Saixi brought the group to Raging Wave Despair and explained that they had to endure the waves on stone pillars for a year while meeting their daily trial requirements.
• Bo Saixi suppressed the waves with her power and raised ten pillars, then the group began the trial as the waves battered them.
• Tang Feng found the impacts manageable and discovered that the pressure helped him cultivate, so he spent nearly all his time on the pillar.
• A month into the trial, Tang Feng recalled Dugu Bo's poison pill and conceived the idea of compressing his Soul Power into a Soul Core.
• Tang Feng began drawing his Soul Power into his dantian and compressing it in rhythm with the waves, remaining motionless for days.
• After more than ten days without seeing Tang Feng move, Tang Jian worried that something was wrong, while Zhu Zhuqing watched him in silence.

Tang Feng condensed a Soul Core during the tidal training and spent the following year helping his companions endure the waves and strengthen themselves. After Bo Saixi declared the Third Trial complete, the group received their assessment rewards and prepared to return to Seahorse City for the Fourth Trial.

• On the thirtieth day, Tang Feng used the force of a massive wave to complete his Soul Core, though he stayed at level 88 and chose not to attempt a breakthrough.
• Tang Feng told his companions he had made a small breakthrough, and they continued their tidal training for the remaining ten months.

Tang Feng organized the group's Soul Ring plans for the coming battle against the Evil Spirit Orca pod, assigning the Evil Orca King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone to Dugu Yan. After learning about other powerful sea beasts, he set his sights on the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, which was said to be close to a million years old.

• The group reached dark, blood-stained waters and encountered the Evil Orca King and more than three hundred Evil Spirit Orcas.
• The Evil Orca King roared at Xiao Bai and demanded to know whether the Demon Soul Great White Sharks had invaded its territory.

Xiao Bai and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks attacked the Evil Orca King’s forces, while Tang Feng, Dugu Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing engaged the king. Tang Feng held the Evil Orca King at bay as Zhu Zhuqing wounded him and Dugu Yan’s poison weakened him, leaving the battle ongoing.

After the battle, Tang Feng and his companions absorbed soul rings while Tang Feng, Tang Jian, and Zhu Zhuqing gathered whale brains and soul bones from the slain orcas.
