Long March, on deck
Bibi Dong sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by terrifying fluctuations of Soul Power, and her aura was steadily increasing.
Her First Martial Soul, the Death Spider Emperor, already has nine Soul Ring, Second Martial Soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, already has eight Soul Ring, with the seventh and eighth being red Soul Ring Soul Ring. The ninth Soul Ring she has just absorbed is a crimson-gold Million-Year Soul Ring.
On the other side of the deck
Two stunningly beautiful women, Huo Feng and Zi JI, stood on the massive corpse of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, turning it over and over as if searching for something.
After about several dozen breaths, Huo Feng suddenly cried out in alarm, pointing her jade finger at a spot on the corpse where a faint red light was emanating.
"Wow, it really is!"
Soul Bone, and Million-Year Soul Bone at that!
Zi JI's beautiful eyes lit up. " Feng'er, quick, take it out quickly!"
A moment later, Huo Feng came to the deck carrying a red Torso Soul Bone, and said happily, "Husband, it's Torso Soul Bone."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "You don't want it?"
Zi JI rolled her eyes at him. "Master, I'm Ferocious Beast, why would I need Soul Bone?"
Huo Feng shook her head, her sword-like eyebrows striking. "Husband, I'm only level ninety-two. Even if I absorb this Soul Bone, I won't be able to fully unleash its power. You should absorb it."
"Alright." Lin Chen took the Soul Bone without any formality with the two women. They had been married for several years and there was no need for formalities.
Bibi Dong now has six Soul Bone, so she no longer needs any Soul Bone. Lin Chen, on the other hand, only has three: one right arm attack Soul Bone, one left arm defense Soul Bone ( Xiao Wu's sacrifice), and one left leg Soul Bone. This Torso Soul Bone, however, is quite suitable for him.
If he absorbs this Torso Soul Bone, his defense will increase several times over.
After an incense stick burns...
Lin Chen was the first to absorb the Torso Soul Bone, and his Soul Power surged, reaching level ninety-seven. The recent battles had further enhanced his Soul Power.
Huo Feng's red hair flowed freely, and her mature, oval face was filled with joy, seemingly even happier than when she herself had broken through to level 97: "Husband, have you broken through to level 97?"
Lin Chen slowly stood up, a sharp glint in his eyes, and nodded in response, "Yes, this Soul Bone is extraordinary. If I had had this Soul Bone before going into the sea, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King wouldn't have been able to harm me at all."
Huo Feng's beautiful eyes flashed, and she asked curiously, "Husband, what exactly is the purpose of this Soul Bone?"
"Defensive!" Lin Chen said calmly, "After using the Soul Bone Skill, within a ten-kilometer radius, it can defend against eighty percent of the opponent's Soul Skill and eighty percent of their divine soul attacks. If their Soul Power is below mine, it can even achieve complete defense!"
"In other words, if I just stand there, ordinary Titled Douluo can't hurt me at all!"
"That's amazing?!" Huo Feng clicked her tongue in amazement, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "Doesn't that mean that my husband will be invincible from now on?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "That's not necessarily true. If it's a true god, it could still pose a threat to me."
Boom boom boom... Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
At that moment, a powerful surge of Soul Power suddenly emanated from the deck, causing ripples to spread across the sea for several miles around.
Zi JI's golden eyes flashed. "It's Dong'er, she succeeded!"
Bibi Dong slowly finished her cultivation, gazing at the figure before her, a slight smile playing on her lips, "Husband, I've broken through to the Peerless Douluo!"
Lin Chen laughed loudly, "Success is good. With that, you've passed the eight trials smoothly, and all you need to do next is accept the Rakshasa's inheritance."
Bibi Dong nodded gently. "Yes."
" Dong'er, what's wrong? You look unhappy." Lin Chen asked, puzzled.
Bibi Dong shook her head. "No, I'm very happy and content right now. By the way, husband, which god do you plan to inherit?"
"Inherit a god?" Lin Chen chuckled, hands behind his back. "Which god is worthy of my inheritance? I am a god; if there's no other path, then I'll prove myself and become a god!"
Bibi Dong gazed at his profile, her delicate hand taking his arm, and leaned happily against his shoulder. "Okay, Dong'er will stay with you~"
Just as the two were getting intimate, the giant ship Long March, under the control of Huo Feng and Zi JI, turned around and began to sail in reverse.
Beside
Huo Feng shouted, "Reverse course! Sister Zi JI, our ship is overloaded!"
"No problem, I'll go downstairs and give you a handyman."
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and its entire body is a treasure trove. Not to mention anything else, its scales alone could be used to forge hundreds of sets of indestructible defensive armor. What would be the effect if all of them were equipped on an army?
on deck
As dusk fell and the sun set, fiery red rays burned across the sky. Lin Chen and Bibi Dong sat nestled together on the deck, their shadows stretching long.
"My husband, I want a child~"
"We're both Titled Douluo, having a child won't be easy~"
"No, no, I just want to have a child with you!"
"Hehe... then let's work harder during this period~"
Come on, come on~
"Here? That's not a good idea..."
That being said, those large hands were quite honest; a few dozen breaths later, the two of them used the sky as their blanket and the board as their bed.
Three days later, North Sea Island
In a dimly lit hall, Tang San sat cross-legged on the ground, his body radiating terrifying red Soul Power. Opposite him sat an old man with white hair and wrinkled skin, who was none other than Tang Chen.
"Cough cough..." Tang Chen said in a hoarse voice, "How are you feeling, Xiao San?"
Tang San's eyes were slightly red as he excitedly said, "Grandpa, we've successfully passed the first three tests!"
"Hmm!" Tang Chen nodded in satisfaction, then said slowly, " Xiao San, your great-grandfather can only accompany you this far. From now on, you'll have to walk your own path. Take good care of yourself and the Clear Sky Sect..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he breathed his last.
Tang Chen is dead.
Before his death, he had sacrificed all of the Asura God's inheritance to Tang San, and used his own life to pave the way for Tang San, directly helping Tang San to start the Asura God Trial. Tang San also successfully passed the first three trials of the Asura God Trial with the help of the Asura Inheritance.
"Great-grandfather?" Tang San's expression shifted between light and shadow as he hurriedly asked, "Great-grandfather, how are you?!"
Bang! Crack...
His voice startled the two elders of the Clear Sky Sect who were guarding outside. The two quickly rushed in, their faces grim as they stared at Tang Chen's corpse.
"Ancestor? Ancestor?!"
The Third Elder's face was extremely ugly. He shouted at Tang San, "What have you done to the Ancestor?!"
Tang San's expression shifted, then he said expressionlessly, "I don't know why my great-grandfather became like this. I didn't kill him!!"
The Fourth Elder, filled with righteous indignation, said, "There are only the two of you here, and you still dare to say it wasn't you who caused this?! The Ancestor painstakingly nurtured you. If it weren't for the Ancestor's insistence, you and your father would still be wandering outside. Are you just going to watch the Ancestor leave like this?!"
Tang San said with a gloomy expression, "I told you, I didn't kill my great-grandfather! He willingly passed on his power to me; he asked for his own death!"
