Upon hearing Bo Saixi's test, Qi Ling frowned. Looking at Bo Saixi's serious expression, he knew Bo Saixi wasn't joking. Although he didn't know her purpose, she genuinely wanted to have a serious contest with him.
Could he defeat Bo Saixi? Although his Divine Dragon Body was now fully developed, and he possessed six Divine Dragon Bone, and even in terms of Soul Power, he was not much inferior to them, Poseidon was still Limit Douluo! The true top-tier powerhouse in this world.
More importantly, Bo Saixi is a powerful figure on par with Qian Daoliu. This means that if I want to defeat Qian Daoliu, I must first defeat Bo Saixi; otherwise, it is absolutely impossible.
After all, Bo Saixi wouldn't resort to such despicable means, but Qian Daoliu would stop at nothing to achieve victory.
"So that means I have about nine months to prepare, and after nine months I'll have to face your test?" Qi Ling asked with a smile. "Then, Bo Saixi, I'd like to know, there should be rewards for the Sea God Trial, right? If I win, what will I get?"
But Bo Saixi shook her head at this moment and said, "I'm sorry, Qi Ling, you are the Heaven's Chosen of the Dragon God. The power of the Sea God cannot be applied to you, so I cannot give you the same reward as Tang San and the others."
"The only reward I can give you is what I already possess. If there's anything you want, feel free to ask."
Qi Ling glanced at Bo Saixi and said regretfully, "Oh? Is that so? Then forget it. To be honest, there's really nothing on Sea God Island that I like."
"This..." Bo Saixi was speechless. No one had ever spoken to him like that before, and he couldn't even refute him.
"However, I accept your test!" Qi Ling continued, "Because I also want to know just how strong Limit Douluo really is! Bo Saixi, please guide me then!"
After bidding farewell to Bo Saixi, Qi Ling and the Dragon Maiden boarded a boat belonging to the island's inhabitants and left Sea God Island, rowing out to sea.
Once at sea, Qi Ling couldn't help but think of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King she had once fought, and asked the boatman, "Brother, there's supposedly a Deep Sea Demonic Whale King out there. Is it safe for us to go this way?"
The boatman turned to Qi Ling and smiled, "Guest, you don't know this, but the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is no longer in this area, so it's perfectly safe here."
"Oh? It's not here?" Qi Ling asked in surprise. "Then where did it go? Didn't it stay in this area for a long time?"
The boatman replied, "As for the specifics, I only heard about it from others. It's said that a few months ago, someone saw a Divine Dragon descend from the sky, ready to act on behalf of Heaven and destroy this wicked beast!"
"Although the outcome of the battle is unknown, it is said that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was severely injured, even nearly losing his life, and now dares not linger here, having gone elsewhere to recuperate!"
Qi Ling was taken aback by the boatman's words and whispered to the Dragon Maiden beside her, "Really? What's going on? Am I really that powerful? But why can't I remember anything?"
The Dragon Maiden shook her head helplessly and said, "Perhaps the shock was too great, so she hasn't been able to recover her memories yet. But Master, you have to believe in yourself, you're really amazing!"
"Hmm? How powerful could it be? I don't even remember myself, how would I know how powerful I really am!" Qi Ling said helplessly.
Since there were only the two of them, Qi Ling no longer needed to take a carriage. The journey that would have taken two months was completed in just seven days, and he and the Dragon Maiden returned to Dragon's Glory City.
Everyone was both surprised and delighted to see Qi Ling return. Lan Xiang almost brought his entire fleet of excavators to line the street and hold a grand welcoming ceremony for Qi Ling, but fortunately Qi Ling stopped him.
"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key, Lan Xiang," Qi Ling said. "I don't need everyone to know I'm back this time. I'm just here to find out what's been going on lately."
After saying goodbye to Lan Xiang, Qi Ling went straight to the City Lord's Mansion to see Bibi Dong. If she wanted to know what had happened during this time, it would be better to ask her directly.
Of course, more importantly, Qi Ling also wanted to see Bibi Dong. Although it might be unfair to the others, the first person Qi Ling wanted to see after returning was Bibi Dong.
Upon arriving at the City Lord's Mansion and seeing Bibi Dong again, Qi Ling was immediately stunned, feeling as if she had returned to the past and seen the peerless and elegant Pope once more.
By now, Bibi Dong has absorbed all nine Moonlight Soul Ring, and her strength has not only recovered to the Titled Douluo level, but is even stronger than before. After all, she now possesses nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
This makes one marvel at how the Yin Yang Harmony Life and Death Lotus truly is a treasure of heaven and earth, capable of bestowing upon Bibi Dong such a miraculous Martial Soul. The combination of nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring is unheard of. The enhancement they alone bring to Bibi Dong has already made her more powerful than other Titled Douluo.
Moreover, after absorbing all the Soul Ring, Bibi Dong has regained her original appearance. In fact, due to her experiences during this period, she has become more intellectual and charming.
She has lost some of the domineering aura she had as the Pope, and gained more gentle tenderness. Although I can't say which version of her I prefer, she is beautiful in every way, making it impossible to look away.
Upon seeing Qi Ling, Bibi Dong was naturally overjoyed. She rushed forward, grabbed Qi Ling's hand, and said, "Little brother? Why are you back? You didn't even tell me!"
"I just got back, how could I have had a chance to tell you, sister?" Qi Ling said with a smile.
"Have you finished your training on Sea God Island?" Bibi Dong asked.
Qi Ling said helplessly, "It's still early. Xiao San and the others are still cultivating there. I was worried about the situation here, so I came back early to check on them. Is there anything I should be aware of during this time?"
"Of course, little brother, I really don't know how you guys handled so many things before," Bibi Dong complained, pouting, which, combined with her noble demeanor, gave her a unique air.
Qi Ling smiled and said shyly, "Ah, actually, Rongrong and Xue Ke were the ones who did all the work before. I didn't know there would be so much to do. Sister, just tell me the main things, I won't understand the details."
"You're really born to be a lord!" Bibi Dong said helplessly. "Alright, since that's the case, I'll tell you a few important things."
Afterwards, Bibi Dong recounted the most important things that had happened during this period to Qi Ling. However, just as she was about to finish, she noticed that Qi Ling was staring at her without moving, seemingly not paying any attention to what she was saying.
"Hey! Little brother, don't get distracted!" Bibi Dong said somewhat angrily, "If you keep this up, I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, sister. I just hadn't seen you in so long, I was just mesmerized," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Who can blame me when you're so beautiful? I can never get enough of looking at you."
What woman wouldn't love to hear such praise? Bibi Dong was no exception. Her face flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Don't get distracted anymore! Listen carefully to what I'm telling you! At worst... when you have time, you can watch it however you want!"
