The girls snapped back to reality, looking at the familiar scenery around them, their faces instantly showing unconcealed shock.
"We're back on Sea God Island already?"
"What incredible speed!"
They had thought that with Yang Yuan leading them, they would arrive at Sea God Island quickly.
But they truly didn't expect it to be this fast.
Yang Yuan also looked at the familiar surroundings.
It had been several years since his last visit to Sea God Island.
"Let's go, we'll head to the Sea God Temple!"
After Yang Yuan finished speaking, he led the girls toward the Sea God Temple.
They soon arrived at the steps leading up to the Sea God Temple.
As they arrived, inside the Sea God Temple, Bo Saixi opened her wise, aged eyes as if sensing something.
"This Aura... is it Ah Yin and the others?"
"Wait, there's another Aura. This is... Yang Yuan!!"
"He actually came along too!"
Bo Saixi stood up and walked out of the hall, looking down, her gaze meeting Yang Yuan's across the distance.
Yang Yuan gave her a slight smile, then began climbing the stairs with the girls.
There were three hundred and thirty-three steps leading to the Sea God Temple; among the girls, only Ah Yin could easily withstand the pressure of the Seagod's Light.
As for Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, they were a bit lacking.
Being Spirit Masters of the support system, their Physical Body strength was somewhat lower, so they still felt some pressure on the last few dozen steps.
However, Yang Yuan merely gave a soft hmph, and the pressure receded on its own.
"SeniorBo Saixi, long time no see. How have you been lately?" Yang Yuan said with a faint smile.
A gentle smile appeared on Bo Saixi's face as she replied, "Thank you for your concern, young friend. I am doing well."
Logically, with the appearance of the Sea God's successor, she should have been uneasy.
After all, the Seagod Nine Trials required her Life as a sacrifice to begin.
However, due to Poseidon's promise several years ago, she did not harbor such negative emotions.
The two chatted for a few moments, and then Bo Saixi turned her gaze toward Ah Yin and the other two girls.
She smiled and said, "Now, are you ready to begin your trials?"
Before arriving, Yang Yuan already knew the details of the three girls' upcoming trials.
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling's mission was to support any Titled Douluo and defeat the Sea God IslandSeven Pillar Douluo.
Ah Yin's mission was to defeat the Sea God IslandSeven Pillar Douluo and hold out for the duration of one incense stick under Bo Saixi's attacks.
Ning Rongrong's eyes darted around as she said playfully, "SeniorBo Saixi, Brother Xiao Yuan is also a Titled Douluo. Lingling and I should be able to support him, right?"
As soon as she said this, not just Bo Saixi, but even Ah Yin and Ye Lingling looked at her with strange expressions.
Support Yang Yuan?
Did the Sea God Islandseven sacred pillars offend you somehow?
Using Yang Yuan against them, wasn't that like using an anti-aircraft gun to swat a mosquito?
No matter how you look at it, they didn't deserve such a fate!
Bo Saixi's lips twitched slightly before she said, "In theory, yes!"
As she spoke, she was mourning for the seven sacred pillars in her heart.
Even Bo Saixi didn't know Yang Yuan's exact strength.
But it was definitely unfathomable; even she was no match for him.
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up as she said, "Great! With Brother Xiao Yuan here, we can complete the top-tier eighth test today."
Yang Yuan saw this and gave a smile while shaking his head.
Soon, the Seven Pillar Douluo learned that Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling would be supporting Yang Yuan to challenge them.
Upon hearing this news, the Seven Pillar Douluo felt as if the sky was falling.
We're fighting Yang Yuan?
Are you kidding?
Although the others didn't have much interaction with Yang Yuan aside from Sea Horse Douluo, it didn't mean they hadn't heard the rumors about him.
Who didn't know that his strength was even more terrifying than the High Priestess's?
In contrast, among the Seven Pillar Douluo, even the strongest Sea Dragon Douluo was only at Rank 95.
Sea Horse City!
Sea Horse Douluo looked at the smiling Yang Yuan and the three girls, unable to help but swallow hard.
Then, he instinctively looked at Bo Saixi standing beside them.
"High Priestess, must I really go through with this challenge?"
Bo Saixi shook her head helplessly. "Sea Horse, this is a trial from the Lord Sea God. Naturally, you cannot surrender. But don't worry, just give it your all. Young friend Yang Yuan won't make things difficult for you."
Hearing this, Sea Horse Douluo could only accept his fate.
Yang Yuan then said to Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong, "Apply your buffs to me."
"Mm-hmm!" Ning Rongrong replied and then released her Spirit.
She applied several buffs to Yang Yuan in quick succession.
Ye Lingling also released her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
After consuming the Immortal Herb, her Spirit was not without changes.
Previously, the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul had only one Spirit Ability effect: Group Healing.
But now, while her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul's healing ability was stronger, it also possessed other effects and had even birthed a Life Domain.
This Domain could suppress the recovery effects of opponents while continuously healing the wounds of teammates.
Although the effect wasn't exceptionally strong, its coverage area was quite large.
With Ye Lingling's current strength, her Life Domain could cover a radius of ten li.
Once Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling had each displayed their methods, Yang Yuan looked at Sea Horse Douluo. "Sea Horse Douluo, are you ready?"
Actually, without him needing to say anything, Sea Horse Douluo had already completed his Martial Soul Possession and activated his Spirit Avatar, unleashing all his buffing Spirit Abilities.
"Your ExcellencyYang Yuan, bring it on!" Sea Horse Douluo shouted.
As soon as he spoke, Yang Yuan made a casual flick of his hand.
An invisible energy finger-print shot from his fingertip, lightly tapping Sea Horse Douluo on the forehead.
In the next second, all of Sea Horse Douluo's defenses vanished, and he himself instantly dropped out of his Martial Soul Possession state.
Most miraculously, Sea Horse Douluo didn't seem to have any injuries at all; he merely showed signs of spirit power exhaustion.
Sea Horse Douluo said in shock, "This... what Spirit Ability is this?"
Yang Yuan smiled calmly. "It's self-created, just a minor trick."
Sea Horse Douluo's lips twitched. "If this is just a minor trick, then what counts as a powerful technique?"
Behind Yang Yuan, Ning Rongrong giggled. "As expected, with Brother Xiao Yuan's help, completing the trial is as simple as eating or drinking water."
Afterward, Yang Yuan used his means.
To Sea Horse Douluo's astonishment, he was restored to full health once again, but what awaited him was a new round of testing.
His opponent was none other than Ah Yin!
At Ah Yin's hands, Sea Horse Douluo undoubtedly lost once more.
After all, Ah Yin's spirit power was as high as Rank 96, far beyond what he could contend with.
Once Ah Yin also finished challenging Sea Horse Douluo, Yang Yuan took the three girls to bid him farewell and continued to the next sacred pillar.
In just one day, they easily completed the challenges for all the Seven Pillar Douluo.
This meant that besides Ah Yin, Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling had both completed their respective God Trials.
At the exact moment they finished their trials, a voice echoed in their minds.
"Supported a Titled Douluo in completing the challenge of the seven sacred pillars. Reward: All spirit rings' limits increased by ten thousand years."
As the voice faded, two blue pillars of light descended from the sky, enveloping them.
Boom!
Instinctively, Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling released their respective Spirits.
Six black and two red spirit rings—eight in total—appeared neatly above their heads.
If such a spirit ring configuration were to be made public, it would surely cause another sensation.
Ning Rongrong also sensed the change in her spirit ring colors and laughed heartily. She excitedly grabbed Yang Yuan's hand to share the news. "Brother Xiao Yuan, look at my spirit ring configuration! My first six spirit rings have all turned into ten-thousand-year spirit rings!"
Bo Saixi smiled and said to Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, "Congratulations to you both for completing all your trials!"
Ah Yin smiled. "So, that means I'm the only one who hasn't finished my trial yet!"
"SeniorBo Saixi, since Rongrong and Lingling have finished their trials, it's time for the two of us."
Bo Saixi was taken aback. "Ah Yin, aren't you going to Cultivate for a while longer? You're only at Rank 96 right now."
After Rank 95, the gap between each rank is enormous.
The gap between Rank 96 and Rank 99 could be described as an insurmountable chasm.
Bo Saixi was also thinking of Ah Yin's well-being.
However, Ah Yin shook her head and smiled. "Thank you for the reminder, SeniorBo Saixi, but I don't think I need to go through all that trouble. Let's just start."
Hearing this, Bo Saixi didn't think Ah Yin was being arrogant. She just smiled and said, "Since you have such confidence, then let's begin. However, we need to change locations; I'm afraid we won't be able to go all out here."
Ah Yin smiled slightly. "Sure!"
Then, witnessed by Yang Yuan and the others, they quickly arrived above the inner lake of Sea God Island.
"Let's do it here!"
Bo Saixi stopped and tapped her toes.
In the next moment, her body appeared on the surface of the water in the center of the inner lake.
Seeing this, Ah Yin laughed. "I'm coming too!"
With that, she also lightly tapped the surface and appeared opposite Bo Saixi.
The lake's surface was like a mirror, and their gazes met across the distance.
Bo Saixi casually threw an incense stick, using a clever force to plant it into a rock on the shore.
The incense stick ignited spontaneously. Bo Saixi then smiled at Ah Yin. "Make your move!"
Ah Yin gave a gentle smile. "SeniorBo Saixi, then I won't be polite!"
She lightly raised her hand and made a gentle tap in mid-air with her fingertip.
"Blue Silver Grass, Endless Growth."
The moment she spoke, countless Blue Silver Grass grew frantically from the bottom of the lake.
They pierced through the water's surface, spreading and Binding with incredible speed, then condensing into eighty-one extremely thick vines that lashed out toward Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi didn't say another word, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.
Facing Ah Yin's offensive, Bo Saixi remained calm. She simply raised her hand and made a gentle grasping motion.
In an instant, the water of the inner lake seemed to boil.
The lake water surged upward, transforming into nine thick water pythons that roared and lunged at the Blue Silver vines summoned by Ah Yin.
Each water python contained terrifying power, and where they passed, the wind howled, making them look incredibly domineering.
However, these water pythons, which would be troublesome even for an ordinary Rank 95Titled Douluo, were actually unable to crush the Blue Silver Grass, which had always been known for its fragility in the natural world?
What incredible tenacity!
Is this still Blue Silver Grass?
No, this wasn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass to begin with; this was the Blue Silver Emperor!
Just as Bo Saixi was in shock, the nine water pythons she had condensed quickly fell into a disadvantage during their clash with Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass, finally shattering with a bang and turning into a cloud of mist.
Bo Saixi's pupils constricted slightly.
But soon, the shock on her face transformed into a look of realization.
She smiled—a smile filled with surprise, appreciation, and a long-lost Battle Intent.
"Very good."
She took a step forward, and the Aura around her surged abruptly.
Nine spirit rings spiraled up from beneath her feet.
They were actually eight black and one red!
"Then I shall no longer hold back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bo Saixi's figure vanished from the spot!
In the next instant, she appeared in front of Ah Yin and struck out with her palm.
Within this palm strike, there seemed to be the sound of rolling tides, exploding like crashing waves.
This seemingly casual palm strike caused the surrounding air to solidify and sent a massive ring of water waves exploding beneath Bo Saixi's feet.
However, Ah Yin not only didn't dodge but actively met the attack.
"Blue Silver All Things Grow!"
In an instant, countless Blue Silver Grass grew out of the Void Realm, weaving into an airtight barrier that stood before her.
"Boom—"
Bo Saixi's palm landed, and the Blue Silver barrier vibrated violently, yet there was no sign of it breaking.
Ah Yin said with a faint smile, "SeniorBo Saixi, this level of force isn't enough!"
Bo Saixi gave a faint smile and didn't say anything.
But her seventh spirit ring suddenly erupted with brilliant light.
Seventh Spirit Ability: Spirit Avatar!
Bo Saixi possessed the god-bestowed Spirit, Sea God. After she activated her Spirit Avatar, a massive, illusory figure condensed behind her.
This was her seventh Spirit Ability, Seagod Avatar. It could summon the Sea God's true form, increasing her spirit power by 200%, mental force by 100%, and the power of her first six Spirit Abilities by 150%. The boost was incredibly terrifying.
Then, Bo Saixi's third spirit ring lit up as well.
A giant blue hand condensed out of thin air and reached for Ah Yin.
However, facing this giant blue hand, Ah Yin didn't panic at all as her second spirit ring flashed.
The dozens of thick Blue Silver Grass from before instantly bunched together and then lunged fiercely toward the giant blue hand.
"Boom—"
Another explosion rang out, and in an instant, air currents surged and the momentum was heaven-shaking. A massive ring of water waves shot up from the lake surface beneath them, forming a wall of water in mid-air.
This blow clearly put Ah Yin at a disadvantage, but she quickly adjusted, instantly activating her Blue Silver Avatar and continuing to clash head-on with Bo Saixi.
Her Blue Silver Emperor's combat style was completely different from Tang San's in the original story.
In the original story, Tang San mostly used the Blue Silver Emperor to harass opponents because, by the Late Stage, the poison attribute of his Blue Silver Emperor was clearly insufficient against experts of the same level, so he relied on the Clear Sky Hammer for actual combat.
However, Ah Yin's combat style was extremely domineering; even when facing the Rank 99Bo Saixi, she still chose to clash head-on.
Relying on the Blue Silver Domain and the endless growth characteristic of Blue Silver Grass, her spirit power seemed as if it would never run dry. Although she was three ranks lower than Bo Saixi, her Aura was not at all weaker, and she even gave outsiders the impression that she was suppressing Bo Saixi.
The two traded blows, with various powerful Spirit Abilities constantly clashing.
The time for one incense stick passed in the blink of an eye, yet far from being defeated, Ah Yin showed no sign of even falling into a disadvantage.
After the final collision, the two once again pulled apart.
Bo Saixi looked at Ah Yin with an appreciative gaze.
"Congratulations, you've passed!"
