Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Sea Dragon Douluo suddenly burst into laughter, as if Qi Ling had said something absurd.
"What are you laughing at? Don't you believe what I'm saying?" Qi Ling said calmly, looking at the laughing Sea Dragon Douluo.
"Hmph, it seems you know how ridiculous your words are." Sea Dragon Douluo sneered disdainfully. "You're just a piece of trash without even Soul Power, while I'm Titled Douluo with Soul Power Level of 95. Our statuses are worlds apart. Don't you think your threat to me is funny?"
"Huh? Level 95? That's amazing." Qi Ling looked at Sea Dragon Douluo with a cold smile. "Someone as powerful as you must have never been beaten up before, right?"
"But don't worry, Sea Dragon Douluo, I will grant you this wish! You're right, our identities are indeed worlds apart, but who will be in a life-or-death situation is hard to say."
Seeing Qi Ling's serious expression, the Sea Dragon Douluo inexplicably felt a chill, which puzzled him. However, he still said, "No matter what, you cannot participate in the Sea God's Light test. As one of the Sea God's guardians, I will not allow you to participate."
"Oh? Sea Dragon Douluo, I want you to explain clearly, is it your will or the Sea God's will that you forbid me from participating in this Sea God Trial?" Qi Ling said without backing down.
Sea Dragon Douluo was silent for a moment, but then said, "This is my will, the will of Sea Dragon Douluo, guardian of Sea God Island."
"Then I don't need to obey. This is Sea God Island, and you're just a security guard here. Where do you get such authority?" Qi Ling said. "Please move aside; I need to go participate in the Sea God's Light test."
"What if I don't allow it?" Sea Dragon Douluo stood in front of Qi Ling and said with a sneer, as if mocking Qi Ling for daring to speak to him like that when she didn't even have Soul Power.
"You'll regret it if you don't give in," Qi Ling said slowly. "The dignity of the Dragon Clan cannot be violated. If we are humiliated today, we will repay it a hundredfold in the future."
Looking at the incredibly serious Qi Ling before him, Sea Dragon Douluo felt an immense sense of pressure from Qi Ling, who was just an ordinary person. He didn't know why, but he felt this pressure from Dragon Maiden when he was serious.
It was a kind of power different from force; it was a more direct and noble power, a power that one could neither understand nor possess.
"Damn it, who exactly are you!" Sea Dragon Douluo frowned and said, "Don't think I'll be afraid of you just because you're playing tricks here. In the world of Soul Master, everything is decided by strength!"
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a voice suddenly came from behind them. " Sea Dragon, what are you doing? Why are you arguing with Qi Ling?"
The speaker was none other than Sea Douluo Bo Saixi. She had arrived here from who-knows-where, only to witness the two arguing fiercely.
Facing Bo Saixi, Sea Dragon Douluo naturally dared not be presumptuous, after all, there was a huge gap between the two in terms of both strength and status.
"Reporting to the Great Enshrined, this person possesses no Soul Power yet dares to trespass into the forbidden area. He truly shows no respect for Sea God Island! I was just about to expel him." Sea Dragon Douluo said, giving Qi Ling Lingling look.
Bo Saixi was slightly taken aback. She knew that Qi Ling was chosen by the Dragon Maiden and was a distinguished guest on Sea God Island. How could she allow the Sea Dragon to expel him?
Bo Saixi then said, " Sea Dragon Douluo, you don't need to worry about this. Qi Ling is also qualified to challenge him. I have my own plans for this. You just need to treat him the same way you treat Tang San and the others, and try your best to meet his requests."
Upon hearing this, Sea Dragon Douluo was startled. Just who was this Qi Ling? Why was he favored not only by the Dragon Maiden Girl, but also by Lady Bo Saixi?
With this thought in mind, Sea Dragon Douluo's resentment towards Qi Ling deepened, but before Bo Saixi, he still said, "Yes, Great Enshrined, Sea Dragon obeys."
Afterwards, Sea Dragon Douluo left, but the Qi Ling eyes as he left told Qi Ling that this was definitely not the end of the matter, but only the beginning.
"Alright, now I'll take you there to reunite with your companions," Bo Saixi said to Qi Ling. "You don't have any Soul Power protecting you, so be careful not to get injured if you're going to participate in the test."
"Thank you for your concern, Great Enshrined, but my body isn't that fragile that I would get injured by such a mechanism," Qi Ling said confidently.
Although his Soul Power was sealed, his physical strength remained, making it impossible for him to get injured during such a test.
"Don't underestimate this Sea God's Light. It's a divine light bestowed by the Sea God, used to protect Sea God Island from foreign invasion. Breaking through it is no easy feat," Bo Saixi reminded Qi Ling, seeing his lack of regard for the Sea God's Light.
"Understood, thank you for your kindness, Great Enshrined. I'll go and meet up with my companions now."
As Qi Ling spoke, she prepared to cross the sea in front of her to reach the island and reunite with the others. However, Bo Saixi said, "This sea is protected by Sea Soul Beast. Without the protection of the Sea God, you will be attacked. Let me take you there instead."
Just as Qi Ling was about to refuse, Bo Saixi had already taken action, leading Qi Ling across the sea to the other side. He couldn't help but think that this woman must have a very strong personality.
At this moment, everyone had begun testing their Crossing the Sea God's Light. Tang San and Dai Mubai were the first to begin climbing, wanting to test the authenticity of the Sea God's Light.
The two exerted all their strength to fight against the Sea God's Light, but they only felt a tremendous force constantly pushing them back. With each step they took, this repulsive force would increase.
By the time the two reached the thirtieth step, beads of sweat were already forming on their foreheads, and their pace gradually slowed. At the same time, they had to use more Soul Power and stronger Soul Skill to fight against this force.
Watching the two of them gradually push their limits, Qi Ling smiled and said, "Not bad! They've climbed so high on their first try. They've made great progress!"
Finally, when Dai Mubai successfully reached the fiftieth step, he could no longer withstand the enormous repulsive force and was instantly propelled outwards by this force, shooting into the sea like a cannonball.
Meanwhile, Tang San, after exerting all his strength, climbed to the seventy-fifth step. This was the maximum pressure he could withstand at the moment; going any higher was now out of reach.
After they both stepped back, their Soul Power was nearly exhausted. They sat weakly on the ground, as if they had just experienced a fierce battle.
