The next day, after resting, Tang San and the others gathered again at the foot of Sea God Mountain. Meanwhile, the Ring Sea outside Sea God Mountain seemed to boil and began to fluctuate violently.
At the same time, a golden light curtain enveloped the Ring Sea, blocking the surge of waves. It was only ten meters high, similar to when they broke through the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
" The Second Trial is to break through the circular blockade. The condition for passing the test is to break through the blockade in the Ring Sea and reach the other side without killing any Sea Soul Beast," Dai Mubai said slowly.
Although the trials faced by others varied to some extent, the overall challenge remained the same: to break through the ring-shaped blockade without harming the sea Sea Soul Beast within.
"Wow, this test is way too easy!" Ma Hongjun couldn't help but say with a smile. "Can't Sister Jian Lan Sister Jian Lan the seawater? We can just ask her for help and we'll pass the test, right?"
Jian Lan smiled helplessly and said, "No, Ma Hongjun, I've been asked to help you, so I can't offer any assistance."
"Oh, I see," Ma Hongjun said regretfully. "That's alright, we can have Xiao San use his Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud! He can just sneak in without any invisibility, wouldn't that be simpler?"
Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words, everyone immediately looked at Tang San, wanting to know if the suggestion was feasible.
Tang San gave a helpless, bitter laugh and said, "No, I just tried. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud seems to be restricted by a special force and cannot be summoned. Not only that, but I can't use any of my Soul Ring skills either."
In addition, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Tianyi, who all passed the Top-Tier Seven Trials, were also subject to an additional restriction: they could not use their Martial Soul Avatar, which dealt a significant blow to their strength.
Oscar said, "My God, so many restrictions! We're not even allowed to harm those Sea Soul Beast. These Sea Soul Beast shouldn't be very strong, right?"
Tang San shook his head and said, "No, if these Sea Soul Beast are going to stop so many of us, they must not only be extremely powerful, but also numerous. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to stop so many of us at all."
"Regardless, we should at least try it out first and see what kind of Sea Soul Beast are in this sea before we can formulate our next strategy," Tang San said. " Rongrong, you amplify my power, and I'll test the depth of the water first."
Just as Tang San was about to go into the sea, Ma Hongjun suddenly shouted in surprise, "Hey, Xiao San, wait a minute! It looks like something is rushing this way from the sea! It looks like a Demon Soul Great White Shark!! And it's bigger than any we've ever seen before!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look, and saw a huge great white shark breaking through the waves and swimming rapidly toward them.
This time, the group actually has to face such a terrifying Sea Soul Beast? Before the group could finish their exclamation, Oscar continued, "Hey? There looks like a person standing on that Demon Soul Great White Shark? It looks... like Boss Qi?"
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw Qi Ling standing confidently atop the Demon Soul Great White Shark. No matter how big the waves were or how much the Demon Soul Great White Shark leaped, not a single drop of seawater splashed onto his clothes.
When the Demon Soul Great White Shark brought Qi Ling to the shore, Qi Ling slowly jumped ashore and, amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd, said with a smile, "Looks like everyone's here. So, are you all ready to begin the Second Trial?"
" Boss Qi? You're coming with us for this trial?" Ma Hongjun exclaimed with delight upon seeing Qi Ling suddenly appear. "That's great! With Boss Qi here, what are we afraid of from those Sea Soul Beast!"
"I will indeed participate in your second test, but unfortunately, I won't be participating with you," Qi Ling said with a smile.
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Ma Hongjun was immediately puzzled and asked, "Not with us? Then with whom? Are there other people here participating in this test besides us?"
"Of course, these are them!" Qi Ling smiled slightly, and as he spoke, the huge Demon Soul Great White Shark suddenly leaped out of the sea, soaring into the air. Under the flowing light, it rapidly shrank, quickly transforming into a tall girl who appeared before everyone.
The girl was extremely tall; standing next to Qi Ling, she was only slightly shorter than him. Her body lines were incredibly graceful, practically perfect. Her white leather-like outfit accentuated her perfect figure, and the beautiful curves made her look incredibly alluring.
Her long, grey-blue hair cascaded down her back, flowing smoothly to the ground. Her eyes were the same color as her hair, and her fair skin glowed with a faint blue light. She had a high nose bridge and a face with a touch of exoticism, which only added to her charm.
Upon seeing such a beautiful woman, almost all the men present were drawn to her; after all, the allure of such an exotic beauty is terrifying for men.
Unfortunately, the beautiful woman didn't seem to be in a good mood. Facing their gazes, she wrinkled her nose and said fiercely, "What are you looking at! Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Her fierce rebuke silenced the crowd, but their curiosity remained undiminished. This beautiful woman was clearly a Soul Beast in disguise—how could this be?
Qi Ling looked at the girl beside her and smiled, "Oh? Not bad, you've learned your lesson this time and know to put on clothes?"
The girl blushed and immediately said fiercely to Qi Ling, "You! You bastard! Didn't we agree not to talk about that?"
"Haha, alright, I won't tell you then." Qi Ling laughed. "Come on, let me introduce you. As you can see, Xiao Bai is transformed from Demon Soul Great White Shark, and is the only 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King!"
"As you've probably guessed, Xiao Bai is the chief examiner for your Second Trial, and also the leader of the Sea Soul Beast responsible for stopping you. You'd better be careful, she's very strong."
After Qi Ling finished introducing herself, Xiao Bai turned her head and gave a Lingling snort, clearly acknowledging Qi Ling's statement.
After listening, Ma Hongjun noticed a key point and said, " Boss Qi, you said she's the Sea Soul Beast responsible for stopping us, and you're with them, could it be...?"
"That's right, Fatty, you guessed correctly," Qi Ling laughed. "I won't be participating in this trial with you, but I will join these Sea Soul Beast to help them stop you."
"But don't worry, I won't directly take action. At most, I'll just give these Sea Soul Beast some pointers, teaching them to train you in more diverse ways."
