Chapter 197: Chapter 197: The Second Trial Assessment



The five looked at Yang Podi with some confusion. Finally, Yang Tianyue spoke up: "Brother, do we have to pass through this Hundred-thousand-year soul beast to cross the Seagod's Ring Sea? Isn't that a bit too difficult?"

Yang Podi couldn't help but chuckle: "It's certainly not easy, but why don't you all give it a try first? For you, this counts as a form of training."

Seeing the puzzled looks from the others, Yang Podi continued, "After all, we're land soul masters. We've never had the experience of fighting sea soul masters. Now, with such a great sparring partner, wouldn't it be perfect for us to learn how to fight sea soul masters? Try it first, and we'll decide on a strategy afterward."

The five looked at Yang Podi with some hesitation but eventually entered the ring sea one by one. However, they were all quickly knocked out of the water, each sustaining considerable injuries.

Niu Meng couldn't help but say, "Boss, this is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Isn't this a bit too much?"

Yang Podi laughed aloud. "A hundred-thousand-year soul beast without malice, one that isn't even lethal—where else would you find such a high-level sparring partner?"

"Starting today, apart from meditating, everyone must go into the sea daily to spar with Xiaobai. This will rapidly increase your combat experience, especially against sea soul masters."

Yang Tianyue looked at Yang Podi with some confusion. "Brother, if you lead us across personally, plus with our soul bones, wouldn't it be much simpler? Why drag it out for so long?"

Yang Podi shook his head. "You're the one undergoing the Seagod's inheritance. How could the dignified Seagod lack experience in ocean combat? You should focus on cultivating for now. These battles are just the basics and carry almost no real danger. The trials ahead are bound to be much more perilous, so you need to improve yourselves as much as possible."

After a round of discussion, everyone finally agreed on their training plan.

Each person would spend as much time as possible battling Xiaobai in the ring sea every day. At the same time, no one was allowed to slack off; they needed to meditate diligently and increase their soul power. This year was a rare period of calm, as the upcoming trials would likely be fraught with danger.

After his explanation, Yang Podi took out some soul beast meat from his storage soul tool and prepared for a barbecue.

Over the past year, they had been preoccupied with cultivation and had hardly taken any time to relax. Since the second trial was relatively easier, they could afford a bit of leisure.

Having stayed on Seagod Island for a year, they were already tired of eating seafood every day. Taking this opportunity, Yang Podi brought out the supplies he had prepared earlier, including wine and soul beast meat. The meat had been frozen in a storage soul tool and remained fresh even after a year, making it perfectly edible.

The others also fully relaxed, joining Yang Podi in barbecuing by the ring sea. The addition of wine made the gathering particularly enjoyable—a rare moment of respite.

Unexpectedly, the Devil Spirit Great White Shark, Xiaobai, seemed to have been drawn to the aroma and appeared on the beach with a rather peculiar expression.

Yang Podi smiled and said, "Senior Xiaobai, we're barbecuing. Would you like to join us for a taste?"

The others were puzzled. Xiaobai was clearly their opponent—why invite her for barbecue and wine? Niu Meng, in particular, being a complete foodie, was worried about sharing his food.

Yang Podi, annoyed, casually waved his hand and knocked Niu Meng into the sea. At the same time, he secretly pinched Ye Lingling's waist, signaling her to entertain Xiaobai.

Ye Lingling seemed to understand Yang Podi's intentions and repeatedly invited Xiaobai to join them.

Although Xiaobai claimed to feel embarrassed, her actions said otherwise. After drinking two cups of wine, she seemed a bit tipsy, entirely shedding the high-and-mighty demeanor of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

What was more surprising was how quickly she became close with the three girls. In just half an hour, they were addressing each other as sisters. This left Yang Podi speechless—was this what they called a superficial bond?

As for Niu Meng, the blockhead, Yang Podi didn't even bother paying attention to him.

Over the next year, everyone trained diligently, engaging in battles every day.

Xiaobai, having become familiar with the group, grew closer to them. However, she remained hostile toward Yang Podi, disliking his attitude toward killing hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.

During the year of intense training, the team significantly improved their combat experience against sea soul masters. Their soul power levels also saw moderate progress, although not as quickly as when they were cultivating under the Seagod's Light.

After a year, both Niu Meng and Dugu Yan reached the bottleneck of level 70 and acquired their god-bestowed spirit rings. However, despite their efforts, they couldn't achieve hundred-thousand-year rings. Dugu Yan's seventh spirit ring was approximately 50,000 years, while Niu Meng's reached around 70,000 years.

Yang Tianyue's soul power rose to level 80, but there was no time to obtain a spirit ring, nor were there other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts nearby.

Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling's soul power reached level 77, gaining four levels in a year, which was quite impressive.

Niu Meng and Dugu Yan reached level 72. With his higher spirit ring quality, Niu Meng's soul power caught up to Dugu Yan's.

Yang Podi himself frequently entered the ring sea to spar with Xiaobai. Neither could gain a decisive upper hand. Xiaobai's speed and agility in the water were extraordinary, and as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, her strength was formidable. Most titled Douluos couldn't defeat her in the sea.

However, Yang Podi relied on his exceptional physical strength to fight Xiaobai to a draw, even without using his spirit bones or letting his spirit rings limit him. Otherwise, injuring or even killing Xiaobai wouldn't have been too difficult for him.

Yang Podi's soul power increased again over the year, reaching level 89. However, his actual improvement was only about one and a half levels, as he had already peaked at level 87 under the Seagod's Light.

Finally, on the last day of the second trial, everyone was eager to pass the final test.

As Yang Podi predicted, while the hundred-thousand-year Devil Spirit Great White Shark was powerful, it was no longer a significant threat to the six of them. With an average of two spirit bones each, the team held a clear advantage.

After a fierce battle, the six successfully crossed the ring sea, completing the Seagod's second trial.

As they passed the trial, Yang Podi heard a voice in his mind: "Through your powerful strength, you assisted the Seagod's heir in crossing the ring sea and completing their trial. All spirit rings have their ages increased by 5,000 years."

Yang Podi couldn't help but complain: What is with the Seagod? Why does he only like increasing spirit ring ages? Can't he help me level up my soul power or grant me something else?

The others, however, reaped substantial rewards. Most gained one level of soul power. Yang Tianyue didn't gain additional power, but her Seagod affinity increased by 10%, which was quite valuable.

Ye Lingling's spirit ring ages increased by 500 years, transforming her configuration into four purple and three black rings—a significant boost in power.

Yang Podi's spirit rings now consisted of six black and two red, making him appear even more extraordinary, with no low-level rings in sight.

Currently, Yang Ping'an and Ye Lingling were both at level 79. Niu Meng and Dugu Yan were at level 74. Yang Tianyue remained at level 80.

Unexpectedly, the content of the Seagod's third trial was not the Tide Body Training.

Instead, Yang Podi's red screen displayed: Red-tier Trial, Third Stage: Battle of the Apex Whales and Sharks. Assist the Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan in slaying the Demon Evil Orcas and help the Seagod's heir complete their third trial.

Yang Podi's eyes lit up. This Seagod is quite interesting. He must have noticed that Tianyue has reached level 80 and can absorb a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. It seems he intends for the Demon Evil Orca King to become Tianyue's eighth ring.

The others' trial content was similar, involving participation in the Battle of the Apex Whales and Sharks to slay the Demon Evil Orcas. However, the specific tasks varied slightly.

For Yang Tianyue, as part of the Seagod's nine trials, her third task was to slay the Demon Evil Orca King.

Yang Ping'an's task was to kill 15 Demon Evil Orcas.

Dugu Yan's task was to slay 10 Demon Evil Orcas.

Niu Meng's assessment is to kill 8 Demon Evil Orcas.

The only difference is Ye Lingling's task. Her assessment is to protect the Devil Soul Great White Shark tribe, ensuring that their losses do not exceed one-fifth.

The deadline for completing the Sea God's Third Trial is still one year.

Yang Podi pondered whether to complete this third trial now or wait until Yang Ping'an reached level 80 before proceeding. After all, Yang Ping'an was only one level away. Within the Demon Evil Orcas, aside from the Demon Evil Orca King, there were also many high-age Demon Evil Orcas,which were highly suitable for Yang Ping'an's Breaking Soul Spear.

However, after careful consideration, Yang Ping'an decided to complete the third trial as soon as possible. Obtaining spirit rings could be dealt with later. With Yang Ping'an's current physical constitution, his eighth spirit ring might even be able to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring, especially after the Tide Refinement Body Trial. Absorbing ordinary spirit rings now would be somewhat wasteful.

What's more, if Yang Ping'an completed all six Black-Level Trials, there might be a chance to obtain another God-bestowed Spirit Ring, which would make things even more interesting.

After a round of discussions, Yang Podi approached Xiao Bai to discuss the Peak Whale Shark Battle.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's expression changed completely, showing a hint of fear. It was evident that the Demon Evil Orcas left a deep impression on her.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Bai finally spoke: "In the sea, three species of soul beasts stand at the pinnacle: our Devil Soul Great White Sharks, the Demon Evil Orcas, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale. Among them, the Deep Sea Demon Whale is the strongest, followed by the Demon Evil Orcas,and lastly, our Devil Soul Great White Sharks."

"The Demon Evil Orcas are highly bloodthirsty sea soul beasts. They live as a tribe and are group-dwelling soul beasts, with each group numbering about 300 to 500. Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King avoids provoking them.Demon Evil Orcas are so bloodthirsty that even when they don't need food, they still slaughter weaker soul beasts. As a result, their territory is practically devoid of other soul beasts."

Niu Meng exclaimed in surprise, "Are the Demon Evil Orcas really that powerful? Even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King doesn't dare to provoke them? We heard back in Vast Sea City that there's a Demon Whale Sea region where no ships dare to enter."

Xiao Bai shook her head. "That's the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the most powerful soul beast in the sea. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is too lazy to wander around. Otherwise, the entire Demon Evil Orcas group wouldn't stand a chance against it."

"Is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King really that strong?"

"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is indeed immensely powerful. It lost one of its eyes to the Sea God's attack. In the sea, it is practically invincible."

Xiao Bai seemed to have thought of something and, despite being sidetracked by the blunt Niu Meng, returned to the main topic, rolling her eyes at him: "An adult Demon Evil Orcas measures between 20 and 25 meters long. They possess strong physiques, sharp teeth, and various powerful skills. A single Demon Evil Orca can rival two adult members of our tribe. The Demon Evil Orcas total number is about 300, with approximately 200 adults."

Niu Meng quickly asked, "What level of strength would an adult Demon Evil Orcas have compared to humans?"

Xiao Bai pondered for a moment. "A Demon Evil Orca typically reaches 10,000 years of age upon maturity. A 10,000-year-old Demon Evil Orca has the strength of a Soul Sage. A Demon Evil Orcas over 50,000 years old has the strength of a Soul Douluo, and an 80,000-year-old Demon Evil Orca approaches the strength of a Titled Douluo. The Demon Evil Orcas king should possess strength equivalent to a level 96 human Soul Master. The Demon Evil Orcas group includes two that are over 80,000 years old, around ten over 50,000 years old, and the rest range from 10,000 to 50,000 years old."

Everyone gulped upon hearing this. "Wouldn't that be the equivalent of three Titled Douluos, ten Soul Douluos, and two hundred Soul Sages?"

The group was taken aback. Judging by these figures, the Demon Evil Orcas were far superior to the legendary Upper Three Sects, especially since they had the advantage of fighting in the sea.

Seeing their expressions, Yang Podi shook his head. "There's no need to worry. Although soul beasts possess strong physical capabilities, they have their shortcomings. Only 100,000-year-level soul beasts possess intelligence comparable to humans. The rest, even if they are group-dwelling, are still akin to primitive tribes."
