Everyone was overjoyed that Hu Liena was able to break through successfully. It was at this moment that Sea Douluo Bo Saixi reappeared, slowly descending from the Sea God Hall, and said to everyone, "You have all done very well. You truly deserve to be chosen by the Sea God."
"I've come to bring you good news," Bo Saixi said, looking at Hu Liena. "Anyone who has undergone a trial of Black Level or higher will receive the Sea God's assistance during their breakthrough."
"In other words, when any of you reach a bottleneck for the first time and need to acquire Soul Ring, you will all have a chance to obtain God-Given Soul Ring without having to hunt Soul Beast yourself."
Upon hearing this news, everyone was thrilled. After all, obtaining Soul Ring without having to Soul Hunting beasts was something they had always thought only Qi Ling could do.
Moreover, according to Sea Douluo Bo Saixi, this Soul Ring can be obtained according to a person's limit of endurance. In other words, if a person's limit of endurance is Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, then she can directly obtain a 100,000-year Soul Ring.
Then Bo Saixi flipped her hand, and a golden pearl appeared in her palm. The golden pearl seemed to be carved from the most precious golden crystal, transparent and flawless. Most peculiarly, there was a faint golden mist constantly fluctuating within the pearl, just like the golden mist that appeared around Tang San and the others when they were under the pressure of the Sea God's Light.
This precious pearl is what Bo Saixi used to bestow God-Given Soul Ring upon humans. Even Qi Ling was terrified by the energy it possessed—a power that did not belong to this world, a power completely beyond comprehension, truly belonging to the Sea God.
Even if Bo Saixi is a Limit Douluo and the Great Enshrined of Sea God Island, she could not possibly possess such power. All she has is the right to act on Sea God's Power and to bestow the Sea God's power upon others.
Just as Hu Liena was about to accept the Sea God's gift, Tang San suddenly reached out and grabbed Hu Liena arm, stopping her.
Hu Liena glanced at Tang San with a puzzled look, then saw Tang San say to Bo Saixi, "Senior Bo Saixi, I'd like to ask, is there a time limit to the Sea God's Blessing?"
Bo Saixi paused for a moment, then said, "There is naturally no time limit for receiving the Sea God's blessing. As long as you meet the requirements for a breakthrough, you can receive the Sea God's blessing at any time."
"In that case, Senior Bo Saixi, I request that you give Nana some more time, until she is ready, before letting her receive the Sea God's Blessing," Tang San said. "Is that alright?"
Looking into Tang San's eyes, Bo Saixi suddenly understood his meaning and couldn't help but laugh, "Hehe, indeed a clever idea! Okay, I promise you, we'll wait until you pass this first round of tests before bestowing the blessing upon her."
Then, Bo Saixi slowly departed again, as mysterious and unpredictable as she had appeared.
Seeing Bo Saixi leave, everyone hurriedly asked Tang San, " Xiao San, why didn't you let Hu Liena get her Seventh Soul Ring? If she got her Seventh Soul Ring, wouldn't she be able to break through to the Soul Saint?"
"Because it's not the right time yet," Tang San laughed. "Now is not the best time for Nana to receive the Sea God's Blessing."
"The best time?" Oscar asked doubtfully. "Is there any difference?"
"Of course it's different, you idiot," Qi Ling said helplessly. "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you'll understand. Hu Liena's current state isn't her best. Although her Soul Power Level can't be increased, the Soul Power she cultivates can still be stored in her body normally."
"This means that Hu Liena can continue to improve her physical fitness during this training period, and the Sea God's Blessing can increase the age of her Soul Ring, which is related to this! The longer Hu Liena trains, the more benefits she will gain."
Only then did everyone understand that Tang San had considered things this way, and they couldn't help but admire him. After all, Soul Ring is the most important thing for a Soul Master, something that accompanies them throughout their life.
When it comes to understanding Hu Liena, Tang San naturally knows her better. So, after everyone continued their cultivation, Qi Ling asked Tang San privately, " Xiao San, do you think Hu Liena will be able to withstand the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring if we wait a year, which is when you reach the limit of your first trial?"
Tang San hesitated and said, "Well... I think it might still be a bit lacking! Absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at the Seventh Soul Ring isn't an easy task."
Qi Ling nodded in agreement. This was exactly what she had guessed. Normally, only a very powerful Martial Soul could withstand the pressure of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at the Eighth Soul Ring. Obtaining Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at the Seventh Soul Ring was extremely difficult.
Among those present, apart from Tang San and Qi Ling's special circumstances, most of the others were able to absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at the Seventh Soul Ring because of the Dragon Soul's voluntary sacrifice, which relieved them of that immense pressure.
According to Qi Ling's observation, the limit for Soul Master's Seventh Soul Ring is generally around 40,000 years. Hu Liena has higher talent, and as a Saintess, she has taken many elixirs and medicines since childhood. She also possesses a technique like the Divine Slaughter's Domain. Therefore, her limit is probably around 70,000 years!
Even with the addition of the past six months of cultivation, Hu Liena can only raise her endurance limit to around 80,000 years at most, still quite a distance from the 100,000-year limit for Soul Ring.
Although an 80,000-year Soul Ring is already quite good, everyone around her starts at 100,000 years, which naturally makes her feel resentful. Tang San is also troubled by this, wondering how to help Hu Liena meet the requirement of a 100,000- Soul Ring.
Seeing Tang San's troubled expression, Qi Ling couldn't help but laugh. It was time to help her younger brother again! So she said to Tang San, " Xiao San, I have a way to help Hu Liena reach the limit for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring during this period. Would you like to hear it?"
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Tang San exclaimed with delight, "Really? Big brother, what method is it?"
Qi Ling slowly took out a piece of paper from her body and said, " Hu Liena has already passed the period of physical development, so only strong medicine will work. According to this prescription, just have her take it before she cultivates every day. With more than half a year, it will be enough to improve her physique."
Tang San took the prescription from his elder brother and examined it carefully. Sure enough, it contained many potent medicinal herbs. It would be impossible to combine these herbs without extremely superb medical skills. Tang San couldn't help but admire his elder brother even more.
