The five looked at Yang Podi with some doubt, and finally Yang Tianyue spoke up, "Brother, are we really going to get through this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to cross the Ring Sea? That's too difficult."
Yang Podi couldn't help but smile, "It is indeed not simple, but you should all try it once first. Consider it a kind of training for you."
Seeing the others' puzzled looks, Yang Podi continued, "After all, we are land-based Soul Master and have never had experience fighting against Sea Soul Master. Now that we have such a good sparring partner, isn't this a perfect opportunity for us to learn from their experience in fighting Sea Soul Master? You guys try it out first, and we'll decide on the specific plan later."
The five looked at Yang Podi with some doubt, but they all entered the Ring Sea one by one. However, they were all quickly knocked out of the sea and suffered considerable injuries.
Niu Meng couldn't help but ask, "Brother, this is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, isn't that a bit too difficult?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but laugh, "A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast -old Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with no malice, or even one that's not lethal—where do you think you can find a sparring partner of this caliber?"
"Starting today, everyone will have to go to the sea to fight Xiao Bai, in addition to meditation. This will quickly increase everyone's combat experience, especially experience fighting against Sea Soul Master."
Yang Tianyue looked at Yang Podi with some confusion. "Brother, if you personally lead us there, with the Soul Bone in our bodies, wouldn't it be very simple? Why drag it out for so long?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "You are to receive the inheritance of the Sea God. A dignified Sea God cannot lack experience in sea combat. You should focus on your training first. The current battles are just the basics, and you could even say they are not dangerous. The later trials will likely be much more perilous, so you need to improve yourselves as much as possible."
After some discussion, the group finally decided on the next training method.
Everyone must spend as much time as possible in the Ring Sea fighting against Xiao Bai every day. At the same time, no one can slack off; they need to work hard to meditate and improve their Soul Power. This year is a rare period of leisure, as all the assessments in the future will probably be full of danger.
After Yang Podi finished speaking, he took out some Soul Beast from his Soul Tool and prepared to start barbecuing it.
In the past year, I've been busy with cultivation and haven't had much time to relax. It's rare that the second test was relatively easy, so I was able to relax a little.
Having spent a year on Sea God Island, eating seafood almost every meal, I'm getting a bit tired of it. Taking this opportunity, I brought out a lot of things I had prepared beforehand, including fine wine and Soul Beast. This Soul Beast had been frozen before being put into my Storage Soul Tool, so it would remain fresh even after a year and wouldn't be a problem to eat it.
The other five people also completely relaxed and had a barbecue together on the Ring Sea. The barbecue, especially when mixed with fine wine, was particularly tempting and a rare moment of relaxation.
Little White, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai, seemed to have followed the scent and returned to the beach, his expression somewhat strange.
Yang Podi smiled and said, "Senior Xiao Bai, we're having a barbecue. Would you like to join us and try some?"
Everyone seemed a little confused. Why would they invite Xiaobai, who was Xiao Bai an enemy, to barbecue and wine? Especially Niu Meng, who was a complete glutton and seemed afraid that someone would snatch the food from his hands.
Enraged, Yang Podi casually swung his hand, sending Niu Meng flying into the sea. He then secretly pinched Ye Lingling's waist, signaling her to treat Xiao Bai well.
Ye Lingling seemed to understand Yang Podi's meaning, and together they repeatedly invited Xiao Bai to come and taste the food.
Although Xiao Bai said he was embarrassed, he didn't slow down at all. Especially after drinking two cups, he seemed a little dizzy and didn't have the aloof demeanor of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast at all.
He seemed to get along very well with the three girls, and within just half an hour they were already calling each other sisters, leaving Yang Podi speechless. Was this some kind of fake friendship? They'd become so close so quickly?
As for Niu Meng, that brute, he's just a slow-witted fool; I can't be bothered with him.
Over the next year, everyone trained diligently and engaged in various battles every day.
As for Xiao Bai, after getting to know everyone, their relationships improved considerably. However, Xiao Bai still strongly disliked Yang Podi Yang Podi, clearly disliking Yang Podi's killing of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast -Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and his attitude towards it.
During this year of arduous training, everyone's combat experience Sea Soul Master has improved considerably, and their Soul Power Level has also gradually increased, but it is clearly not as fast as the training under the Sea God's Light.
After a year of hard training, Niu Meng and Dugu Yan both reached the level 70 bottleneck and obtained God-Given Soul Ring. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not reach the 100,000-year level. It is estimated that Dugu Yan's Seventh Soul Ring was only around 50,000 years, while Niu Meng's Seventh Soul Ring was estimated to have reached the 70,000-year level.
After a year of cultivation, Yang Tianyue's Soul Power reached level 80, but she didn't have time to absorb Soul Ring, and there were no other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast nearby.
After a year of cultivation, Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling reached level 77 in Soul Power, an improvement of four levels in a year, which is quite impressive.
Both Niu Meng and Dugu Yan have reached level 72. However, due to the higher age of Niu Meng's Soul Ring, his Soul Power has caught up with Dugu Yan's.
Yang Podi himself entered the Ring Sea multiple times to fight against Xiao Bai. Neither side gained a significant advantage. Xiao Bai was extremely fast and agile in the Ring Sea, and its strength Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was also quite impressive. Ordinary Titled Douluo simply could not defeat it in the sea.
Yang Podi's ability to fight Xiao Bai to a draw, given his superior physical attributes, is quite impressive. Of course, this is only because Yang Podi's Soul Ring are restricted and he hasn't even used his Soul Bone. Otherwise, for Yang Podi, seriously injuring or even killing Xiao Bai wouldn't be too difficult.
After a year of cultivation, Yang Podi's Soul Power has increased again, now reaching level 89. His actual strength has only increased by one and a half levels, since he had already reached the peak of Level 87 under the Sea God's Light.
The second stage of the assessment finally arrived on its last day, and everyone was eager to pass the final test.
Just as Yang Podi had predicted, although the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark was powerful, it no longer posed a significant threat to the current group of six, especially since they each possessed an average of two Soul Bone, making it impossible for them to gain any advantage.
After a series of battles, the six quickly passed through the Ring Sea, thus passing the second test of the Sea God.
After passing the test, a voice echoed in Yang Podi's mind, "With your formidable strength, assist the Sea God's successor in traversing the Ring Sea, and simultaneously help the Sea God God's successor complete their trials. The age of all your Soul Ring will increase by five thousand years."
Yang Podi couldn't help but complain: What on earth is this Sea God up to? Why does he like to increase the age of his Soul Ring? Why can't he just increase his Soul Power by one level, or even something else?
However, everyone else gained a lot, with almost everyone increasing their Soul Power by one level. Yang Tianyue didn't improve her abilities, but this level actually increased her Sea God Affinity by 10%, which was quite good.
Ye Lingling increased the age of her Soul Ring by another five hundred years, and her Soul Ring are now four purple and three black, which is quite good. Even the strength of her Soul Skill has been greatly improved.
Yang Podi's Soul Ring have now become six black and two red, making him appear even more extraordinary, at least he no longer has low-level Soul Ring like yellow and purple.
Yang Ping'an is now level 79, Ye Lingling is also level 79, Niu Meng is level 74, Dugu Yan level 74, and Yang Tianyue is still level 80.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Third Trial test of the Sea God did not involve tidal body training.
The red screen in front of Yang Podi also changed. " Red-Level Single Trial, Third Stage: The Battle of the Whale and Shark Peaks. Assist the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan in slaying the Evil Spirit Orca and help the Sea God's Successor complete the third stage of the trial."
Yang Podi's eyes lit up immediately: This Sea God is quite interesting. He knows that Tianyue is already level 80 and can absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. He probably wants the Evil Orca King as Tianyue's Eighth Soul Ring.
The assessment content for the others was somewhat similar, basically involving participating in the Battle of the Whale and Shark Peaks and slaying the Evil Spirit Orca, but each person's assessment content was slightly different.
Yang Tianyue's Third Trial in the Sea God Nine Trials was to slay the Evil Orca King.
Yang Ping'an's assessment task was to kill 15 Evil Spirit Orca.
Dugu Yan's test consisted of slaying 10 Evil Spirit Orca.
Niu Meng's test involved slaying eight Evil Spirit Orca.
The only difference is Ye Lingling. Ye Lingling's assessment is to protect the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan, and the loss must not exceed one-fifth.
The time limit for completing the Third Trial of Sea God remains one year.
Yang Podi was pondering whether to complete the third trial of the Sea God now, or wait until Yang Ping'an reached level 80. After all, Yang Ping'an was only one level away from completing it. In the Evil Orca pod, besides the Evil Orca King, there were many high-age Evil Spirit Orca, which were very suitable for Yang Ping'an's Soul Breaking Spear.
However, after careful consideration, Yang Ping'an decided to complete the third test as soon as possible and deal with the Soul Ring issue later. Moreover, given Yang Ping'an's current physical condition, he might be able to absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring for his Eighth Soul Ring. Especially after undergoing the Tide Body Tempering, absorbing an ordinary Soul Ring now would be a complete waste.
Moreover, if Yang Ping'an completes all Black Level Six Trials, he might even receive a God-Given Soul Ring, which would be quite interesting.
After some communication, Yang Podi went directly to Xiao Bai to discuss matters related to the Battle of the Whale and Shark Peaks.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's expression changed completely, and a hint of fear appeared on her face. Clearly, the Evil Spirit Orca had left a deep impression on her.
Xiao Bai thought for a moment before speaking, "There are three types of Soul Beast at the pinnacle of the Soul Beast races in the ocean, including our Demon Soul Great White Shark, the Evil Spirit Orca, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale. Among them, the Deep Sea Demon Whale is the strongest, followed by the Evil Spirit Orca, and finally, our Demon Soul Great White Shark."
" The Evil Spirit Orca is an extremely bloodthirsty Sea Soul Beast. They exist as a species, living in Soul Beast of about three to five hundred individuals. Even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is unwilling to provoke them easily. The Evil Spirit Orca is extremely bloodthirsty; even when they don't need food, they will still slaughter weaker Soul Beast. Therefore, there are basically no other Soul Beast in their territory."
Niu Meng asked in surprise, " The Evil Spirit Orca is so powerful that even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King doesn't dare to provoke it? We heard in Vast Sea City that there's a Demon Whale Sea Area on the sea surface, and no ship dares to enter it."
Xiao Bai shook his head. "That's the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the most powerful Soul Beast in the sea. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is too lazy and doesn't like to swim around, otherwise, the entire Evil Spirit Orca Deep Sea Demonic Whale King pod probably wouldn't be a match for it."
Is this Deep Sea Demonic Whale King really that powerful?
" The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is indeed extremely powerful; the eye it lost was injured by the Sea God. In the ocean, it is virtually invincible."
Xiao Bai seemed to have thought of something, but Niu Meng, that brute, had changed the subject. Returning to the main point, Niu Meng: "Adult Evil Spirit Orca are between twenty and twenty-five meters long. They have strong physiques, sharp teeth, and powerful skills. One Evil Spirit Orca is enough to fight two of our adult members to a draw. The total number of Evil Spirit Orca is about three hundred, with about two hundred adults."
Niu Meng quickly asked, "About what level of strength would an adult Evil Spirit Orca have in humans?"
Xiao Bai thought for a moment, "A normal Evil Spirit Orca reaches adulthood in about 10,000 years. A 10,000-year-old Evil Spirit Orca has the strength of Soul Saint. Evil Spirit Orca Evil Spirit Orca Soul Douluo close to the strength of Titled Douluo. The Evil Orca King should have the strength of a human Soul Master at Level 96. The Evil Spirit Orca pod has two over 80,000 years old, about ten over 50,000 years old, and the rest are all between 10,000 and 50,000 years old."
Everyone swallowed hard after hearing this. "Doesn't that mean there are three Titled Douluo, ten Soul Douluo, and two hundred Soul Saint?"
Everyone was shocked. Judging from this strength, they were far stronger than the legendary Upper Three Sects, especially since they were still in the sea.
Seeing this expression, Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head. "Don't worry, everyone. Although the Soul Beast Clan is physically strong, it still has its shortcomings. Only Soul Beast at the 100,000-year level can reach the intelligence of humans. The intelligence of the other Soul Beast is relatively low. Even those that live in groups can only be considered primitive tribes."
