After testing everyone's progress, Qi Ling stopped interfering with their training. Moreover, after witnessing the differences between them, everyone worked even harder in their cultivation.
The Sea God Trial are ever more difficult than the previous ones, but at the same time, they present a tremendous opportunity for everyone! To fail to seize this opportunity would be to waste it.
However, there was one exception among them: Jian Lan. Qi Ling looked at Jian Lan curiously and asked, " Jian Lan, although I know that Soul Power isn't that important to you, do you really not need to cultivate using the Sea God's Light?"
Jian Lan laughed and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but the Sea God's Light simply has no effect on me."
" Qi Ling, do you remember what you did before your strength was fully restored?"
Qi Ling thought for a moment and said, "You mean using Sword Intent to separate these pressures and then pass through smoothly?"
"That's right, Qi Ling, you might think it's nothing, but this is something only Soul Master at the Titled Douluo or above, especially one whose Martial Soul Master is a sword, can do!" Jian Lan said.
"Huh? I didn't feel anything, it was very simple, and I made it." Qi Ling said, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Jian Lan reluctantly summoned her Martial Soul, the Immortal Slayer Sword, and said, "To participate in this test, I must summon my Martial Soul; otherwise, I cannot withstand its pressure."
"But as soon as I summon my Martial Soul, the Sword Intent will automatically dissolve the pressure in front of me, allowing me to reach the top without being disturbed by it."
Qi Ling asked in surprise, "You mean... your Sword Intent is out of control?"
Jian Lan said helplessly, "Yes, that's right. Although I've reached the level of Titled Douluo, I can't control my Sword Intent freely, to the point where I have a sword in my hand but no sword in my heart. That's a level that even my master hasn't reached."
"Having a sword in hand but no sword in heart?" Qi Ling murmured slowly. "I always thought that having no sword in hand but a sword in heart was already quite good. So that's just the initial stage?"
"Yes, that's right," Jian Lan said. "So, what I need now isn't this kind of Soul Power training, but rather the cultivation of Sword Intent. Perhaps when I participate in that Sword God Test, I'll be able to make further progress."
Jian Lan knew that Qi Ling wouldn't fully understand her situation just by saying that, so she gave Qi Ling a demonstration.
When Qi Ling saw Jian Lan holding the Immortal -Immortal Slayer Sword and casually strolling up to the top of the steps, she finally understood that what Jian Lan said was indeed true. The pressure seemed to automatically part to both sides after encountering Jian Lan, and it did not put much resistance on her at all.
When she tried it herself, she at least felt as if she was splitting away these pressures herself. But with Jian Lan, Qi Ling felt as if these pressures had dodged Jian Lan on their own, separating them perfectly naturally.
Meanwhile, seeing Jian Lan easily reach the top was undoubtedly another huge blow to everyone. Ma Hongjun lay on the ground in despair and said, "My God, besides Boss Qi, how could even Jian Lan be so unfair? This is outrageous!"
The others shared the same thought, because although Jian Lan's Soul Power was not as high as theirs and was not even at the Soul Saint level, none of them could forget what happened when they were being tested by the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
At that time, Jian Lan's test results were the same as Qi Ling's; after turning golden, she disappeared again. This shows that Jian Lan was Heaven's Chosen, just like Qi Ling! In this respect, she was already far ahead of everyone else.
Although it is too early to consider such questions now, it is obviously impossible for others not to have any thoughts on the matter now that Tang San has begun his Sea God's Nine Trials.
But Qi Ling was powerless to help with this matter, after all, he himself was completely clueless about how to conduct his own Dragon God Trial.
Meanwhile, inside the Sea God Hall, Sea Douluo Bo Saixi and the Dragon Maiden Girl sat and talked, observing the situation of everyone. The Dragon Maiden held a plate of grapes in her hand, occasionally picking one and putting it in her mouth.
Seeing the immense power Qi Ling displayed, capable of even forcibly intervening in the Sea God's Light, not only strengthening it but also weakening it, this was beyond what could be simply described as powerful!
"Is he really just a Soul Saint?" Bo Saixi asked Qi Ling, looking through a magical artifact in front of her. "Is the successor of the Dragon God really that powerful?"
"Hehe, of course! And Xi Xi, don't get one thing wrong," the Dragon Maiden chuckled from the side, "Unlike Tang San, our master isn't the chosen one; he is the Dragon God."
Bo Saixi couldn't understand what the Dragon Maiden was saying at all, because she was different from the Dragon Maiden; their identities were fundamentally different.
Poseidon, the Sea Douluo Bo Saixi, is merely the guardian of the Sea God Godhood's Sea God Godhood in this world. It is only through years of cultivation and listening to the Sea God's teachings that he has come to know these things and gained some of the Sea God's rights.
She felt like she was the spokesperson for the Sea God, but to be honest, she didn't fully understand what the Sea God god was, since she had never actually seen Sea God.
But the Dragon Maiden is different. She is not from this world, and the Dragon Maiden before her is not her true form, but merely a part of her power, waiting here for Qi Ling.
Bo Saixi couldn't know where the real Dragon Maiden was or what kind of being she truly was; perhaps she was simply beyond her comprehension. Therefore, it was normal that Bo Saixi couldn't understand what the Dragon Maiden was saying.
"Then, what kind of being is Qi Ling?" Bo Saixi wondered to herself. "If he really is the Dragon God himself, then why is there another power within his body? What's going on?"
Time passed little by little, and after three months of everyone's hard work in cultivation, something wonderful happened: Hu Liena's Soul Power Level finally broke through to level 70!
Her hard work and dedication over this period of time have finally paid off. She is no longer lagging behind others. Reaching the Soul Saint level means that she has finally entered a new realm for Soul Master.
