In the following training sessions, Yang Podi increased the number of participants' confrontations with the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Under the Divine Slaughter's Domain, Yang Podi himself was like a huge blood shadow, as if he wanted to tear his enemies apart. In particular, his terrifying killing intent instilled fear in everyone, who could only use all their Soul Power to resist. However, Soul Power was a level lower than the domain, making it very difficult to resist.
As the conflict intensified, it caused considerable distress for everyone, especially the three girls.
Time flies, and almost four months have passed. During these four months, all five of them have made steady progress. Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling have reached their bottlenecks and reached level 70. After absorbing the God-Given Soul Ring given by Bo Saixi, they only obtained a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, not reaching the hundred-thousand-year level. In terms of age, they are only about sixty or seventy thousand years old.
Just as Yang Podi had encountered, Ye Lingling indeed awakened a terrifying Life Domain. Within her domain, she had an extremely strong healing effect on all her teammates, making it difficult for them to die. In addition to her Martial Soul Avatar, she also awakened a powerful skill: Life Guardian.
Although Yang Ping'an fought hard, he still hadn't reached the level of awakening the domain and was far from it. However, he had begun to slowly comprehend the rudiments of the domain and had gained some experience in fighting against domains. At least in terms of momentum and spirit, he was no longer a lamb to the slaughter.
In the last half month, Yang Tianyue became more and more familiar with and adept at fighting against the Killing Domain. In the end, through countless battles, the original rudimentary form of the domain was completely awakened, forming a Soul Breaking Domain.
In particular, Yang Tianyue's martial spirit, the Martial Soul -Soul Breaking Spear, finally underwent a transformation after countless battles, forming its final evolution. The entire Soul Breaking Spear was dark green, while the blade was silver-white, making it even sharper and more powerful. Yang Tianyue named it the Black Jade Divine Spear.
The Martial Soul Evolution Ye Lingling and Yang Tianyue's martial souls made Yang Podi wonder who the real protagonist was. It seemed like both of them had the potential to become gods, while he was still struggling to find his own path to godhood.
After a year of arduous training, everyone made great progress. Yang Tianyue reached level 78, which included the absorption of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, forming Soul Core. He also finally cultivated a domain, which was called the Soul Breaking Domain, making Yang Podi himself extremely envious.
However, Yang Podi did not come away empty-handed. After using the Divine Slaughter's Domain multiple times, he gained a deeper understanding of its Divine Slaughter's Domain and even began to glimpse the direction in which the Divine Slaughter's Domain would evolve into the Slaughter Domain.
Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling reached level 73. Ye Lingling even obtained an extremely powerful Life Domain, while Yang Ping'an has not yet formed a domain and will probably have to wait until he absorbs his eighth or even Ninth Soul Ring.
Dugu Yan is now level 68, Niu Meng is now level 67, both having leveled up by six, which is not bad.
As for Yang Podi himself, he is currently at the peak of Level 87. His Soul Power has increased by a little over two levels in the past year, which is barely acceptable.
On the final day of the Sea God Trial, the six began their final test.
Yang Podi had already told everyone that for the Sea God's assessment, everyone should try their best to show their full strength, try to surpass themselves, and climb to the highest possible level.
Yang Ping'an was the first to take the stage. Although he still didn't have these domains, his strength had improved significantly, especially his determination to fight and his indomitable courage, making him arguably the strongest among the other five.
With Yang Ping'an's current strength, reaching level 118 was not a problem at all. After some effort, he finally climbed to level 135, which can be considered as surpassing himself.
The second to go up was Niu Meng. Among the five, Niu Meng had excellent physical fitness. Due to his long-term practice in defense, he was more adaptable to pressure. After a lot of effort, he climbed 130 steps, which was much higher than the assessment target.
The third to take the stage was Dugu Yan, who, with the help of the Eight Spider Soul Bone, barely managed to break through the 108 steps.
The fourth to take the stage was Ye Lingling. With her newly awakened Life Domain, Ye Lingling also broke through the level 136 barrier and reached level 143, which can be considered a breakthrough.
The most difficult task was for Yang Tianyue, but Yang Tianyue brought her personal strength to the extreme. With four top-grade Soul Bone on her body, plus the newly comprehended Soul Breaking Domain, and even the External Soul Bone on her right hand, it was a tremendous improvement.
After much effort, he finally broke through to the 368th step and completed the first test of the Sea God Nine Trials.
Finally, this is Yang Podi himself. Through a year of diligent cultivation, his physical fitness has been improved once again under the influence of the Sea God's Light. The Sea God's Light truly is a perfect cultivation environment.
This time, I finally broke through the level 699 bottleneck and reached around level 760, but it still felt like I had reached my limit and couldn't break through again.
After everyone finished the assessment, they all collapsed to the ground, finally feeling that their year of hard work had not been in vain.
After completing the assessment, everyone received a corresponding reward, but unexpectedly, the rewards varied from person to person.
A voice echoed in Yang Podi's mind, " Red-Level Single Trial, assist the Sea God's successor in completing the test, first part completed, surpassing your own limits, all Soul Ring' age increased by five thousand years."
Upon hearing this voice, Yang Podi was so angry he almost vomited blood again. All his efforts had only increased the age of his Soul Ring by five thousand years, which seemed to be of little use, merely increasing the power of each Soul Skill.
Everyone else received different rewards. Yang Tianyue's Sea God Affinity increased by five percent, which left her completely bewildered, having no idea what the so-called Sea God Affinity was.
The other four basically increased their Soul Power Level by one level, but Niu Meng and Yang Ping'an exceeded it by a lot, climbing a more exaggerated step. The two were also rewarded with a 500-year increase in the age of their Soul Ring, and now their Second Soul Ring have both turned purple.
Ye Lingling also had her Soul Ring age increased by 500 years due to the fact that she was taking the Red Level Assessment.
Yang Podi just felt that the Sea God seemed to be targeting him. Why could everyone else increase their Soul Power Level, but he couldn't? The only consolation was that his First Soul Skill and Third Soul Skill soul skills, both amplification-type Soul Skill, had basically doubled in power and amplification, which was not bad.
Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling have now reached level 74, Niu Meng has reached level 68, Dugu Yan has reached level 69, so their overall strength has improved considerably.
As soon as everyone finished the First Trial, the content of the Second Trial appeared in their minds.
The content of the second stage is similar for everyone: Breakthrough - Ring Blockade. Under the premise of testing a Sea Soul Beast, break through the blockade in the Ring Sea and reach the other side.
The only difference is that Yang Tianyue's assessment does not allow the use of any Soul Ring skills, while Yang Podi himself is also restricted from using Soul Ring skills.
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi's eyes lit up. Although Yang Tianyue's Soul Ring skills were restricted, she still had five Soul Bone, which were more practical and powerful than Soul Ring skills.
Led by the purple-clad Soul Master, Yang Podi arrived at the location of the second test: the Ring Sea.
Yang Ping'an was the first to attempt the challenge again, but this time it was a bit tricky. Yang Ping'an was just trying to move forward in the sea when a dark shadow flashed and knocked Yang Ping'an unconscious, sending him back to land where he lay on the ground.
Yang Podi couldn't help but rub his forehead: Yang Ping'an has been so fond of showing off lately. No matter what the reason, he should have thought things through first. As a result, he accidentally ended up like this.
Seeing this, Ye Lingling quickly treated Yang Ping'an. Although Yang Ping'an was knocked unconscious, he was not seriously injured and woke up soon.
Yang Podi looked into the sea and said directly, "Senior, please come out. With your strength, dealing with Soul Saint is no problem at all. Don't toy with us juniors."
As Yang Podi finished speaking, a fast-moving black shadow appeared in the Ring Sea. The shadow was tens of meters long, and then it flashed and leaped out of the Ring Sea. It turned out to be a huge white shark that was twenty-five meters long.
The shark rapidly transformed in the air, eventually becoming the shape of a young girl. The girl was about 1.8 meters tall, with a perfect figure, especially her gray-blue hair, which was over a meter long and accentuated her graceful figure.
The girl had gray-blue eyes, and her fair skin had a faint gray-blue sheen. She had a high nose bridge and a face with sharp, angular features, but these features didn't look out of place. Instead, they were very distinctive, giving her a captivating exotic charm.
However, the only drawback is that the gills are rather prominent, and there are a few shark fins on the body, which indicates that this is the incarnation of a Soul Beast.
The girl sniffed Yang Podi and instantly became very angry, slapping him with what seemed like immense force.
Yang Podi didn't hold back either, directly meeting the girl's attack with a punch. After the blow, both of them took two steps back.
The girl seemed extremely angry. "You despicable human, you actually hunted down Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and more than one at that!"
Yang Podi shook his head. "Senior, humans and Soul Beast are on opposing sides. Humans need to obtain Soul Ring, so they naturally need to hunt Soul Beast. This is an unchangeable rule of the world."
The girl's face darkened. "But Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are different from ordinary Soul Beast. They have feelings and thoughts. Aren't you afraid of retribution for hunting them like this?"
Yang Podi's face darkened upon hearing this. "Senior, I know you are also a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but the relationship between humans and soul beasts has always been fraught with conflict, especially for 100,000-year-old soul beasts, which are coveted by all human soul masters. Even the Sea God Douluo, Senior Poseidon, possesses a 100,000-year-old soul ring."
"I was merely acquiring Soul Ring; I didn't oppose the Soul Beast Clan, nor did I indiscriminately kill Soul Beast, so I don't see anything wrong with it."
Before the girl in front could speak, Yang Podi continued, "We are the examiners of the Sea God's War. We hope that you, senior, can understand and treat us fairly; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Lord Sea God."
Upon hearing this, the girl was speechless for a moment, but after a pause, she spoke, "I am the mount of the Lord Sea God, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai. Your second challenge is to pass through my blockade and cross the Ring Sea. I will absolutely not go easy on someone as despicable as you."
Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head. "Thank you, senior. I can only say that humans and Soul Beast have different stances. I have no ill will towards the Soul Beast Clan, and I never indiscriminately kill Soul Beast. I hope you can understand."
At this moment, Yang Tianyue suddenly stepped forward. "Brother, who is this person? Why is he stopping us from moving forward?"
The Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiao Bai, seemed greatly intimidated by the golden Sea God Trident between Yang Tianyue's brows. He quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to be the Sea God's examiners. I was reckless this time, I hope you can forgive me. Just pretend you didn't hear what I said earlier. To show my apology, I'll tell you, I will only stop you from passing through the Ring Sea, I won't attack you proactively. I am the examiner for this trial, you can call me Xiao Bai."
Yang Tianyue couldn't help but ask the girl in front of her, "Aren't you Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? How can you transform into a human? I remember Xiao Wu from the Shrek Academy is also Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but she doesn't seem to be able to transform into her Soul Beast form."
Xiao Bai asked with some doubt, "Have you ever seen Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast? Although I am Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I have not transformed. It's just that with the help and guidance of Lord Sea God, I can show the mentality of an ordinary person, like a mermaid in legends. However, I can only do this for one hour each day, and my power will be weakened."
After saying this, Xiao Bai immediately leaped into the sea.
