Moreover, after passing this test, Hu Liena has a great reward waiting for her: a divinely God-Given Soul Ring. After this period of hard work, Hu Liena should already have the ability to withstand the pressure of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and is just waiting to obtain her own Martial Soul Avatar.
Next up the steps were Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai. At the beginning, the two of them unleashed their respective Martial Soul Avatar and charged towards the steps. It wasn't until after more than a hundred steps that their momentum gradually slowed down.
However, in terms of physical strength, Dai Mubai was naturally superior to Ma Hongjun. In the end, Dai Mubai climbed to the 222nd step, while Ma Hongjun barely made it past the 200th step before having no choice but to retreat.
Next to be tested was Xiao Wu. As agile as a rabbit, her flexibility was unmatched by anyone else, which also made her the best at controlling her body among them.
Because of this, Xiao Wu could control her body and minimize the pressure of the Sea God's Light. In Qi Ling's eyes, Xiao Wu was like a rabbit leaping through the grass, leaving the pressure behind like weeds.
Relying on this ability, Xiao Wu finally broke through the 280th step, far surpassing Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, which amazed everyone.
After Xiao Wu came down, Ma Hongjun sat on the ground, panting, and said, "My God, this is really embarrassing! Boss Dai, how can we be inferior to even girls! Maybe we're only better than Rongrong?"
Hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Ning Rongrong angrily retorted, "Fatty, what are you saying! I'm no worse than you guys!! Just watch and see how I surpass you!"
Dai Mubai then said, " Rongrong, you shouldn't push yourself too hard. This height is really difficult for you to achieve."
Dai Mubai said this because the four girls who obtained the Top-Tier Seven Trials all had the same passing difficulty, which was level 223, but the difficulty was obviously much greater!
If Ning Rongrong wants to break through, it means she needs to be one level above Dai Mubai, which is unrealistic for Support System Soul Master.
Therefore, the best way for Ning Rongrong to break through is to rely on the power of others, such as Qi Ling, who can control the Sea God's Light and can easily help Ning Rongrong pass the test.
Qi Ling then smiled and said to Ning Rongrong, " Rongrong, what do you think? If you'd like, I can help you pass the test directly."
Ning Rongrong shook her head and said, "No, Qi Ling, I am a Soul Master, and I have my own pride! Besides, if I run away from the test now, wouldn't all my efforts over the past year have been in vain? I am Ning Rongrong, and I will not admit defeat!"
Qi Ling laughed and said, "Alright, I knew you'd say that. In that case, Rongrong, take this."
As Qi Ling spoke, she took the Xuanyuan Sword from her body and handed it, scabbard and all, to Ning Rongrong.
"This is my sword; you should all recognize it," Qi Ling said. "When you feel you can't hold on any longer, draw it, and my Sword Intent will naturally protect you and help you pass this level."
Seeing Ning Rongrong still hesitating, Qi Ling smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't pull it out, it won't affect your test! As for what to do, that's your choice."
Hearing Qi Ling say this, Ning Rongrong put the Xuanyuan Sword on her person and began climbing the stairs. However, no matter how hard Ning Rongrong persisted, the fact that Support System Soul Master are physically weak was undeniable. In fact, Ning Rongrong was not even as good as Oscar, who had the Duplication Sausage.
When Ning Rongrong reached the 120th step, she felt that she had reached her limit. Even though her Martial Soul, the Dragon-Patterned Glazed Tile Pagoda, was now floating above her head, providing her with the greatest assistance, she could hardly move an inch.
"One hundred and twenty-one, one hundred and twenty-two..." Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and silently counted, struggling to climb up again. But when she reached the one hundred and thirtieth step, her body was trembling uncontrollably, as if she might collapse at any moment.
Reaching this point is already a remarkable achievement, but when Ning Rongrong looked up, she saw that there was still a considerable distance to go before reaching the 223rd step.
What should we do now? Should we abandon our own insistence and choose to rely on Qi Ling's power? Indeed, Support System Soul Master are meant to fight alongside other Soul Master, so what's wrong with borrowing someone else's power?
Slowly picking up the Xuanyuan Sword, just when even Qi Ling thought Ning Rongrong was about to draw the Xuanyuan Sword to pass the test, she did something that surprised everyone—she gently placed the Xuanyuan Sword on the ground, and then lifted her foot to continue moving upwards!
Ning Rongrong's actions undoubtedly signify that she has abandoned the power of the Xuanyuan Sword and intends to climb upwards using her own strength! Although she doesn't know how long she can persist, she wants to try and see where her limits are.
Everyone who looked at Ning Rongrong's strong back couldn't help but feel admiration, because Ning Rongrong was showing everyone with her actions that even Support System Soul Master are no less capable than anyone else; they also have their own perseverance and their own way of fighting!
But every step Ning Rongrong took afterward was incredibly difficult. She barely made it up three steps, and a trickle of blood was already flowing down the corner of her mouth. The immense pressure had blurred Ning Rongrong's will, and she was on the verge of collapse.
Even so, Ning Rongrong resolutely lifted her foot and slowly stepped up to the next step. The pressure she was under at this moment was beyond everyone's imagination.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's state, Qi Ling considered helping her pass the test more than once, but she held back each time. Since Ning Rongrong hadn't asked her for help, she should respect her choice.
When Ning Rongrong had used up her last bit of strength, she wanted to ask Qi Ling for help, but it was too late.
"I'll probably be blasted away by this Sea God's Light, won't I? What a pity, it seems I won't pass my test!" Ning Rongrong thought.
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred. Above Ning Rongrong's head, the Dragon-Patterned Glazed Tile Pagoda, which had been slowly rotating, suddenly shone brightly. Then, a dragon's roar came, and the divine Divine Dragon that Entanglement around the tower came to life, circling and dancing in the air.
As the Divine Dragon roared, the pressure on Ning Rongrong lessened considerably, and her will, which was on the verge of collapse, instantly returned to normal. A magical power appeared in her body, flowing through her limbs and bones, giving Ning Rongrong a warm and comfortable feeling.
