Supporting the Heavens
"Next up is the Third Trial! It seems a bit easier than the first two!"
Wang Feng gazed at the sea below, muttering to himself.
He already knew the content of the Third Trial: Tidal Body Tempering, which required him to persist for ten hours every day on the Sinking Silver Pillar for a period of one year.
However, he didn't see where the so-called Sinking Silver Pillar was, so he couldn't judge the difficulty of this Third Trial. But judging from the description, this Third Trial seemed to be easier.
A moment later, High Priestess Bo Saixi appeared beside Wang Feng. She didn't say anything, but directly summoned her Martial Soul.
A gigantic figure appeared before Wang Feng was utterly shocked.
"This is... the Sea God! Her Martial Soul is actually the Sea God!"
After only a moment's hesitation, Wang Feng guessed Bo Saixi's Martial Soul.
Although shocked, Wang Feng quickly accepted it, after all, this was not the first time he had seen Martial Soul like this; his junior sister Qian Renxue's Martial Soul was Angel.
As Bo Saixi summoned his Martial Soul, the Sea God, the once calm sea suddenly surged with towering waves, and then the Sinking Silver Pillar slowly emerged from the sea.
"Alright, let's begin!"
With Bo Saixi grim face, Poseidon threw Wang Feng against a pillar, and then four iron chains locked Wang Feng's hands and feet, just like imprisoning a criminal.
"Once you've endured ten hours, the chains will naturally disappear, and you can leave. Remember, you must endure ten hours every day, otherwise it will be considered a failure."
Bo Saixi's cold voice disappeared as soon as she finished speaking, leaving Wang Feng speechless.
I don't think I've done anything to offend the high priestess of Sea God Island! But judging from her attitude, she clearly dislikes me!
However, before Wang Feng could figure out why Bo Saixi was treating him this way, a terrifying wave suddenly crashed down.
Looking at the nearly fifty-meter-high waves, Wang Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that he was currently unable to mobilize his Soul Power, so he could only rely on the strength of his physical body to withstand the onslaught of the waves.
A huge wave roared in, crashing down on Wang Feng, causing him immense pain, but Wang Feng had no choice but to endure it.
But the terror of the waves far exceeded Wang Feng's expectations. Wave after wave brought Wang Feng not only physical pain, but also a heavy blow to his mind.
But having lived two lives, these pains were far from enough to defeat him.
As the sun completely disappeared below the horizon, the chains binding him finally came off. At this moment, Wang Feng's body trembled uncontrollably. The waves had receded, but he did not leave immediately; instead, he sat down to meditate.
An hour later, Wang Feng left and returned to his residence to continue his cultivation.
The next morning, he went to the Sinking Silver Pillar to continue enduring the tempering of the waves.
I persisted for ten hours every day, day after day, and soon a month had quietly passed.
Wang Feng is now able to calmly withstand the trials of the waves, and his physical strength has doubled compared to before.
At the same time, his Soul Power absorption became faster, and his Soul Power Level also increased by one level.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Wang Feng's strength finally increased to level fifty-one.
Inside the main hall, the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, along with High Priest Bo Saixi, watched Wang Feng undergo the Tidal Body Tempering. Their expressions varied, but all showed some surprise.
For the past six months, they have been keeping a close eye on Wang Feng.
In order to prevent Wang Feng from passing the test, Bo Saixi deliberately increased the difficulty of the Tidal Body Tempering, while not telling Wang Feng the details of the Tidal Body Tempering.
In reality, Wang Feng doesn't need to persist for ten hours every day, but rather needs to persist for an average of ten hours every day over a year.
Since Bo Saixi didn't tell him, the difficulty increased dramatically from the very beginning.
To Bo Saixi's surprise, Wang Feng not only survived but also persevered and gained considerable benefits.
Now that Wang Feng's Soul Power Level has increased to level fifty-one, Bo Saixi has no choice but to abide by the rules and bestow upon Wang Feng God-Given Soul Ring.
As the waves receded, Wang Feng left the Sinking Silver Pillar, and at the same time, Bo Saixi appeared before Wang Feng.
"Congratulations on breaking through to the Soul King level! You will receive a God-Given Soul Ring. Begin absorbing it now!"
As soon as Bo Saixi finished speaking, a Soul Ring enveloped in golden energy landed directly on Wang Feng's head.
As the golden energy faded, before Wang Feng could actively absorb it, the black Soul Ring proactively contacted Wang Feng, forcing Wang Feng to absorb it.
This sudden turn of events startled Wang Feng, but he didn't have time to think much about it and could only sit down on the ground to begin absorbing the Soul Ring.
Although the absorption of the God-Given Soul Ring would not result in any accidents, Wang Feng had just left the Sinking Silver Pillar, and his internal energy and Soul Power were still unstable. Under such circumstances, absorbing the Soul Ring would still have a significant impact on him.
Bo Saixi knew this, yet she still allowed Wang Feng to absorb the Soul Ring under such circumstances, clearly intending to make things difficult for Wang Feng.
Unfortunately, she was unaware of Wang Feng's special abilities. With the assistance of his Third Martial Soul, forcibly absorbing the God-Given Soul Ring would not have any substantial effect on Wang Feng.
Two hours later, Wang Feng successfully absorbed the Soul Ring and officially advanced to the level of Soul King.
Bo Saixi left with a slight frown, and Wang Feng stood up with a slight smile on his lips.
The God-Given Soul Ring not only saved him the time and trouble of searching for Soul Ring, but also directly gave him a Soul Ring with a lifespan of 70,000 years.
His acquired Soul Skill is called Supporting the Heavens, a single-target attack Soul Skill that can ignore defense.
In the following days, Wang Feng underwent Tidal Body Tempering, and returned to his residence at night to continue cultivating. He didn't stop cultivating even when he was sleeping, for nothing was more important than cultivation.
Half a year passed quickly, and Wang Feng passed the Third Trial smoothly.
Just like in the Second Trial, he only gained Sea God Affinity and did not receive any other rewards.
However, Wang Feng didn't care. After all, this was only the Third Trial, and if he completed all nine tests, he would be able to obtain the Sea God Inheritance without any surprises.
Furthermore, with the inheritance of the Angel God behind it, the Spirit Hall undoubtedly become the number one power in the entire Douluo Continent.
Thinking about all this made Wang Feng even more excited. After a short rest, Wang Feng began the Fourth Trial.
Unlike the previous tests, Wang Feng could sense the level of danger of the Fourth Trial just from its description.
In the Shark-Whale Battle, assist the Demon Soul Great White Shark Swarm in slaying the Evil Orca King within the Evil Spirit Orca Swarm (Reward: 10% Sea God Affinity Power).
Although he didn't know the attack power of the Demon Soul Great White Shark group or the Evil Spirit Orca group, he was certain that the Evil Orca King was not someone to be trifled with.
