Douluo Dalu:Breaking Clan

During the subsequent training, Yang Podi intensified his team's resistance training against the Killing God Domain.

Under the Killing God Domain, Yang Podi appeared like a colossal shadow of blood, as if he could tear his enemies apart at any moment. The overwhelming killing intent caused everyone's hearts to be filled with fear, leaving them with no choice but to resist using their soul power. However, soul power was inherently a level lower than the domain, making resistance extremely difficult.

As this form of resistance training was incorporated, the team suffered considerably, particularly the three girls.

Time flew by, and another four months quickly passed. During these four months, all five team members made steady progress. Among them, Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling reached the bottleneck and broke through to the seventieth rank. After absorbing the god-bestowed spirit rings provided by Bo Saixi, both only managed to acquire 10,000-year-level spirit rings, which were about 60,000 to 70,000 years in age, falling short of the 100,000-year mark.

As expected, Ye Lingling awakened a terrifying Life Domain after absorbing her ring. Within her domain, all teammates experienced incredibly potent healing effects, making it nearly impossible for them to die. Beyond her martial soul avatar, she also awakened a powerful new skill called Life Guard.

As for Yang Ping'an, despite an arduous struggle, he still could not awaken a domain. However, he began to gain a preliminary understanding of domain concepts. Moreover, his experience against the Killing God Domain had equipped him with some strategies, allowing him to avoid being reduced to a helpless victim in terms of momentum and mental strength.

During the last half month of training, Yang Tianyue grew increasingly adept at resisting the Killing God Domain. Finally, through countless battles, her domain prototype fully awakened into a complete domain: The Breaking Soul Domain.

Yang Tianyue's martial soul, the Breaking Soul Spear, also underwent a transformation after relentless battles. It evolved into its final form: a spear with an emerald green shaft and a silver-white blade, appearing sharper and more powerful. She named it the Jade God Spear.

With both Ye Lingling's and Yang Tianyue's martial souls evolving, Yang Podi couldn't help but wonder who the real protagonist was. It seemed like both of them had the potential to become gods, while he was still struggling on his path to divinity.

After a year of rigorous training, everyone saw substantial improvement. Yang Tianyue reached the seventy-eighth rank. This included the absorption of a 100,000-year spirit ring and the Star Luo Soul Pearl, which formed her soul core. She also successfully cultivated her Breaking Soul Domain, leaving Yang Podi feeling envious.

However, Yang Podi also achieved progress. Through repeated use of the Killing God Domain, he gained a deeper understanding of its essence and even glimpsed a potential pathway to evolve it into the Slaughter Domain.

Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling advanced to the seventy-third rank. Ye Lingling gained a powerful Life Domain, while Yang Ping'an, despite lacking a domain, showed signs of reaching that level, perhaps after absorbing his eighth or even ninth spirit ring.

Dugu Yan reached the sixty-eighth rank, while Niu Meng reached the sixty-seventh rank, both improving by six ranks, which was commendable.

As for Yang Podi himself, he reached the peak of the eighty-seventh rank, gaining just over two ranks in a year. While not exceptional, it was still acceptable progress.

On the final day of the Sea God Trial, the six began their first test.

Yang Podi instructed everyone to showcase their full strength during the trial, striving to surpass themselves. The higher the level of stairs climbed, the better.

The first to attempt the trial was Yang Ping'an. Despite lacking a domain, his strength and determination had greatly improved. With a fighting spirit second to none among the six, he climbed to the 135th step after a grueling effort, surpassing himself.

Niu Meng was next. Thanks to his excellent physical strength and defensive training, he adapted well to the trial's pressure. He climbed to the 130th step, significantly exceeding the trial's target.

Dugu Yan, with the help of her Eight Spider Lances, barely broke through to the 108th step.

Ye Lingling was the fourth. Relying on her newly awakened Life Domain, she broke through the 136th step, eventually reaching the 143rd, marking significant progress.

The most challenging test fell to Yang Tianyue. However, with her exceptional abilities, including four pieces of premium soul bones, her newly mastered Breaking Soul Domain, and the external soul bone on her right hand, her strength had increased dramatically. After tremendous effort, she reached the 368th step, completing the first phase of the Sea God Nine Trials.

Finally, it was Yang Podi's turn. Over the past year, his physical strength had significantly improved under the Sea God's Light, which proved to be a perfect cultivation environment. He managed to break through the 699th bottleneck, ultimately reaching the 760th step, though it seemed impossible to climb further.

Once everyone completed their trials, they collapsed on the ground, relieved that their year of hard work had not been in vain.

After completing the trial, each of them received a corresponding reward. However, to Yang Podi's dismay, the rewards varied.

A voice echoed in Yang Podi's mind: "First Red-Level Trial: Assist the Sea God's successor in completing their test. First phase completed. Surpass your limits. All spirit ring ages increased by 5,000 years."

Hearing this, Yang Podi almost spat blood in anger. After all his effort, the reward was merely a 5,000-year increase in his spirit rings' age, which only slightly enhanced the power of his abilities.

Meanwhile, others received different rewards. Yang Tianyue gained a 5% increase in Sea God Affinity, leaving her baffled about what it meant.

The other four gained a one-rank boost in their soul power. Additionally, due to their impressive performances, Niu Meng and Yang Ping'an received an extra 500-year increase in their spirit rings' age, turning their second rings purple. Ye Lingling also gained a 500-year age boost because her trial was red-level.

Yang Podi felt the Sea God was targeting him. Why could everyone else increase their soul power except for him? The only solace was that his first and third spirit abilities—both amplification skills—doubled in potency, which was somewhat satisfying.

Currently, Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling reached the seventy-fourth rank. Niu Meng reached the sixty-eighth rank, while Dugu Yan reached the sixty-ninth rank. Overall, their team's strength improved significantly.

After completing the first trial, the second trial appeared in their minds.

The second trial's objective was similar for everyone: Break Through the Circular Blockade. The task was to break through the blockade in the circular sea while being pursued by a sea spirit beast and reach the opposite shore.

However, there was a significant difference. Yang Tianyue's trial prohibited the use of spirit abilities, and surprisingly, Yang Podi faced the same restriction.

Hearing this, Yang Podi's eyes lit up. Although Yang Tianyue was barred from using spirit abilities, she still had five soul bones, which were even more powerful than spirit abilities.

Under the guidance of a purple-clad Sea Spirit Master, Yang Podi and the others arrived at the trial location: the Circular Sea.

Yang Ping'an was the first to attempt the challenge. However, it ended poorly for him. As he swam forward with all his might, a shadow flashed in the water, knocking him unconscious and sending him back to shore, where he lay sprawled on the ground.

Yang Podi rubbed his forehead helplessly. "Ping'an, you've been eager to prove yourself recently. You should think things through first. Look what happens when you rush in unprepared."

Ye Lingling quickly healed Yang Ping'an. Fortunately, he wasn't seriously injured and soon regained consciousness.

Yang Podi turned toward the sea and called out, "Senior, please show yourself. With your strength, it's too easy to deal with mere Soul Saints. There's no need to tease us juniors."

As his words fell, a massive shadow emerged from the Circular Sea. The shadow spanned several dozen meters, and with a swift motion, a 25-meter-long white shark leaped out of the water.

Yang Podi looked towards the sea and spoke directly, "Senior, please show yourself. With your strength, dealing with Soul Saints is no problem, so there's no need to toy with us juniors."

Following Yang Podi's words, a swift black shadow emerged in the ring-shaped sea. The shadow spanned tens of meters, and with a flash, it leaped out of the sea. Surprisingly, it was a massive white shark about 25 meters long.

The shark quickly transformed mid-air, eventually taking the form of a young woman. The woman stood about 1.8 meters tall, with a perfectly proportioned figure. Her long, grayish-blue hair flowed down past her waist, further accentuating her graceful form.

Her eyes were grayish-blue, her skin fair with a faint bluish glow, her nose high and prominent, and her face angular, as though chiseled. However, these features didn't seem out of place; instead, they gave her a unique charm, exuding an exotic beauty.

Yet, there was a slight imperfection—her cheeks were somewhat pronounced, and parts of her body revealed small shark fins, unmistakable signs of her identity as a transformed soul beast.

The woman sniffed Yang Podi a few times before her face immediately darkened. Without a word, she swung her palm at him, carrying immense force.

Yang Podi didn't back down either. He raised his fist and met her strike head-on. The clash forced both to take two steps back.

The woman, now visibly angry, said, "Despicable human! You've killed Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, and not just one!"

Yang Podi shook his head and replied, "Senior, humans and soul beasts have always stood on opposing sides. Humans need spirit rings, which inevitably means hunting soul beasts. This is an immutable rule of this world."

The woman's face turned even darker. "But Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts are different from ordinary ones! They have emotions and intelligence. Don't you fear retribution for killing them?"

Yang Podi's expression also darkened. "Senior, I know you're a Hundred-thousand-year soul beast, but humans and soul beasts have always been in conflict. Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts are treasures every human spirit master dreams of obtaining. Even senior Poseidon Douluo Bo Saixi possesses Hundred-thousand-year spirit rings."

"I merely seek spirit rings and do not hold animosity against the soul beast race. Neither have I wantonly slaughtered soul beasts without cause, so I see no fault in my actions."

Before the woman could retort, Yang Podi continued, "We are participants in the Sea God's trials. I hope senior can understand and treat us fairly. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Lord Sea God."

Hearing this, the woman was momentarily speechless. After a pause, she finally spoke, "I am Lord Sea God's mount, Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King. Your second trial is to pass through my blockade and cross the ring-shaped sea. For someone as despicable as you, I certainly won't go easy."

Yang Podi shook his head. "Thank you, senior. I'll just say this—humans and soul beasts have different standings. I bear no malice towards the soul beast race and never slaughter indiscriminately. I hope you can understand."

At this moment, Yang Tianyue suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, who is this? Why is she stopping us?"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai, looked at the golden Sea God's Trident mark on Yang Tianyue's forehead and seemed greatly intimidated. She quickly apologized, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't realize you were participants in the Sea God's Nine trials. My earlier behavior was reckless, and I hope you can forgive me. Please forget what I said earlier. As an apology, I'll let you know that while I will block your passage through the ring-shaped sea, I won't actively attack you. I am your examiner for this trial, and you may call me Xiao Bai."

Yang Tianyue looked at the woman and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you a Hundred-thousand-year soul beast? How can you transform into a human? I remember that Xiao Wu from Shrek Academy is also a Hundred-thousand-year soul beast, but she can't shift into her soul beast form."

Xiao Bai appeared puzzled and said, "You've met another Hundred-thousand-year soul beast? While I am a Hundred-thousand-year soul beast, I haven't achieved a full transformation. This form you see is a result of Lord Sea God's blessings. It allows me to take on a human-like appearance, similar to the legendary mermaids. However, I can only maintain this form for one hour each day, and my strength is greatly diminished during this time."

After saying this, Xiao Bai leaped into the sea, disappearing beneath the waves.
