All around the pool was dense forest. It appeared to be about five hundred meters in diameter, and at the center of the pool was a triangular platform, on which towered a bizarre obelisk. The obelisk was conical, with a bizarre relief carved on top, the whole column covered with countless inscriptions that seemed to be characters. Incorporeal strange energies emanated from the strange pillar.
With Purple Demon Eye, Tang San could clearly see a person sitting below the obelisk, eyes closed, back to the pillar, as if meditating. And this person’s clothes were black.
Coming here, the yellow clothed middle aged Spirit Master seemed quite reserved, while those young yellow clothed Spirit Masters also stood respectfully to the side, not even daring to be imposing.
“Welcome to the sea within the sea, Seahorse Sacred Pillar.”
The yellow clothed middle aged man spoke in a particular tone:
“The Seahorse Sacred Pillar is one of Seahod Island’s seven sacred pillars. The Seagod bestowed the seven sacred pillars with divine force, to spread divine decrees through the pillars. Any one sacred pillar can conduct the trials for outside Spirit Masters. You will get the topic for the lord Seagod’s trial here.”
Finished speaking, he turned towards the triangular platform in the sea within the sea, making a deferential ninety degree bow, and urging his spirit power to make his voice carry. This moment, this middle aged man released his spirit practically subconsciously.
Two yellow, three purple, one black, a quite good spirit ring configuration appeared around him. This middle aged man was actually a more than sixtieth ranked Spirit Emperor. Just yellow clothed and already a spirit emperor? The Shrek Seven Devils shivered inwardly at the same time.
“Reporting to lord Seahorse, outside land Spirit Masters have come to take the trial, please permit it.”
Urged by his spirit power, the yellow clothed middle aged man’s voice traveled in a straight line, hiding the sound of the torrential waves of the sea within the sea.
That black clothed man sitting upright on the triangular platform by the Seahorse Sacred Pillar suddenly opened his eyes. From where he sat to the shore was more than two hundred meters, but the instant he looked over, the Shrek Seven Devils on the shore couldn’t help shivering. That grudging gaze was like two deep ponds, and even over such a distance, each of them still felt that black clothed man’s power.
Title Douluo, the two words representing the highest level of the Spirit Master world flashed through Tang San’s mind, making the judgement the instant he saw that black clothed man’s eyes. No mistake, that was the particular aura only Title Douluo possessed. This black clothed man was also the first Title Douluo level sea Spirit Master they met since coming to the great sea.
A sonorous powerful voice echoed. Different from the yellow clothed man, this voice didn’t travel in a line, but seemed to mix with the sound of the water and the waves.
“Land Spirit Masters want to take the majestic Seagod’s trials? You will only be qualified by passing the sea within the sea to stand in front of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.”
While speaking, behind the Seahorse Douluo brightened a blue dim light. Immediately afterward, the Seahorse Sacred Pillar behind him abruptly brightened, an azure light travelling from below to the top of the sacred pillar. With the top of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, a blue ripple suddenly surged out, like a blue screen laying horizontally above the sea within the sea. Since the Seahorse Sacred Pillar was ten meters tall, this blue screen floating above the sea within the sea was also ten meters high. No need to ask, this ten meter height was the restriction for flight and spatial abilities.
Tang San’s brows wrinkled, looking towards the yellow clothed middle aged man who brought them here,
“Senior, don’t tell me we have to also take a Title Douluo’s trial before accepting the lord Seagod’s trial? Don’t tell me you think we can fight a Title Douluo?”
The yellow clothed middle aged man hung his head,
“Dry land Spirit Masters’ trials were different from sea Spirit Masters’ from the start. I don’t know how lord Seahorse is testing you, but I can be certain that everything lord Seahorse does is according to the decrees of the lord Seagod. You still have a chance to leave.”
Seeing the yellow clothed middle aged man’s calm appearance, Tang San understood. The first trial after coming to Seagod Island had already arrived. Just as he prepared to bring Xiao Wu to try crossing the sea, Dai Mubai stepped forward before he could, blocking Tang San behind him,
“I’ll try.”
Tang San and Dai Mubai looked at each other. After Dai Mubai nodded faintly to him, he stepped onto the shore of the sea within the sea, stepping onto that equally silver glittering beach.
As the boss of the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai’s strength was second only to Tang San, and he was also the oldest. Letting him try it first, even if he failed, afterward Tang San could still assist and adapt. But if Tang San was first to fail, circumstances would be a lot more passive. Consequently, Dai Mubai was first to rise.
Dai Mubai clenched his fists, slowly raising them in front of him to the top of his head, at the same time also raising his head. Those yellow clothed sea Spirit Masters’ gazes unconsciously fell on him. They could all clearly feel an aura filled with intimidation emanate from Dai Mubai, the aura of the king.
Chapter 217: Seahorse Sacred Pillar, Black Level Six Tests
“Roar——”
A sky shattering roar suddenly resounded from Dai Mubai’s throat, as he suddenly pulled back his tightly clenched fists. Intense white, light-like flames soared around him, as he instantly released his six spirit rings.
Muscles suddenly swelling, the surface of his skin suddenly revealing black and white striped fur, the tyrannical influence of the king among beasts abruptly exploded in all directions. Waves spread outward in the sand below his feet, and those evil eyes radiating domineering power made even the Seahorse Douluo more than two hundred meters away feel somewhat moved.
Seahorse Douluo waved his right hand, and the waves in front immediately churned, reaching ten meters high, unexpectedly directly sealing all avenues forward. The practically boiling seawater thundered with a heaven shaking power, but didn’t spill over the confines of the sea within the sea even a hair.
Facing such circumstances, Dai Mubai didn’t show a hint of fear. His third spirit ring abruptly flashed, fully using his thousand year spirit ring ability, White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
His originally already tall and sturdy body expanded once again, the white fur turning golden in a flash, the king character on his forehead becoming even more clear, as each muscle seemed to burst with explosive force.
Under the amplification of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Dai Mubai roared, intense golden light filling the air in front of him, White Tiger Light Wave shooting out and turning into an intense white light shooting directly at the waves.
Amidst the explosive noise, a large hole was unexpectedly blasted open through that wave. At the same time, Dai Mubai’s majestic body shot forward, charging straight at the waves with an incomparable aggressiveness.
Hong—— Thirty or so meters where the White Tiger Light Wave attacked completely burst open, those sky reaching waves splashing in all directions light flowers scattered by a goddess. But even more formidable waves met Dai Mubai, heavily striking his majestic body. It seemed like Dai Mubai’s golden light figure would be swallowed by those terrifying waves.
Zhu Zhuqing’s heart thumped, and she couldn’t help rushing a step forward, but was blocked by Tang San. Tang San said in a low voice:
“It’s alright. Since boss Dai dares charge into the sea like this, naturally he has confidence. We’ll wait and see.”
Seeing Dai Mubai swallowed by the waves with much thunder but little rain, the yellow clothed sea Spirit Masters on the shore couldn’t help being stunned, in their hearts all thinking that land Spirit Masters were mediocre. Even though the sea within the sea wasn’t
a true ocean, under Seahorse Douluo’s control, this place would be even more dangerous than the real ocean.
Just at this moment, suddenly, along with a rumble, a five meters or so long giant seahorse suddenly flew out of the ocean, turning in the air, emanating blue light.
“I understand.”
Tang San’s eyes revealed a trace of admiring light,
“Boss Dai is using the method we used to land on Seagod Island. He can’t swim, but with his strength, walking on the bottom of the sea for a short while isn’t a problem. This sea within the sea won’t be as deep as the real ocean, he can walk across the bottom by relying on White Tiger Barrier.
Tang San’s words just fell when, along with an explosion, one enormous Seahorse after another whirled out of the sea. Clearly, these were the sea spirit beasts of the sea within the see. They seemed to have the strength of thousand year spirit beasts. Each seahorse breaking through the waves seemed to be just unconscious, with no apparent injuries.
Before long, just five meters away from the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, the waves abruptly rolled back, an immense stream of water soaring up, fiercely striking the light screen overhead. That body glittering with golden light soared up within this wave. Drawing a deep breath, both hands swatting backward, using the impulse from striking the wave, he stably landed in front of Seahorse Douluo.
Seahorse Douluo’s eyes revealed a bit of praise, nodding to Dai Mubai,
“Possessing tyrannical spirit power with the energy of the king, the king among beasts spirit, relying on the third spirit ability to break through my trial. Among land Spirit Masters, you can also be considered an outstanding figure at the spirit emperor level. Even more at such a young age. No wonder you would be confident in coming here. Fine, you are qualified to accept the trials of the lord Seagod.”
“Many thanks.”
Dai Mubai replied with only two simple words. Finished speaking, he directly turned aside, looking at the others still on the shore. Using his gaze to transmit some kind of information. The others might not be able to see it, but he believed Tang San definitely could.
The praise in Seahorse Douluo’s eyes wasn’t just because of Dai Mubai’s strength, but rather because he still didn’t kill any sea spirit beasts in the sea. Tang San could guess Dai Mubai’s method for reaching the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, as the real controller here, how couldn’t he know?
Tang San really did see Dai Mubai’s gaze, and from within also understood what Dai Mubai wanted to tell them. Immediately he turned to the others,
“Going over to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar actually isn’t Seahorse Douluo’s trial for us. Dai Mubai told us that it’s not completely difficult. Within this sea within the sea, there’s just seahorses with that kind of strength. Without even stronger sea spirit beasts. Zhuqing, you’re second.”
“Fine.”
Zhu Zhuqing replied. She didn’t go through the motions of preparation like Dai Mubai did, her body soared as she released her spirit, her first spirit ability Hell Rush Stab unleashing in midair, and she suddenly accelerated, heading straight for the waves.
Compared to Dai Mubai, she was even faster, moving forward unhindered like a specter. In a flash she had already soared more than ten meters, when she was only half a meter from to the light screen emanating from the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, she suddenly changed direction in midair and shot straight for the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
The violent waves of course wouldn’t let her pass like that, and the surging sea charged towards Zhu Zhuqing. Her style when confronting the waves was completely different from Dai Mubai, just seeing purple light flash around her, equally releasing the radiance of her third spirit ability, a black empty shadow seemed to emanate from her body, quietly chopping at the wave. It was Zhu Zhuqing’s third spirit ability, Hell Chop.
The violent seawater, when on the verge of striking her body, swept past on either side of her, the Hell Chop directly cutting open the wave in front. By now, Zhu Zhuqing had already charged close to thirty meters.
Of course she wouldn’t pick the same style as Dai Mubai, submerging in the water. She didn’t have Dai Mubai’s tyrannical physique, but as an agility attack type Spirit Master, she had her own ways.
Just as she was about to fall into the wave, Hell Chop appeared once again, only this time it wasn’t aimed at splitting the wave ahead, but rather bizarrely cut out a triangle. When her momentum was on the verge of being exhausted, the tips of her toes touched the wave cut by her Hell Chop, her first spirit ability Hell Rush Stab launching once again, and she charged forward.
Even though the buoyancy of seawater is a lot higher than potable water, by how much? But this tiny difference in buoyancy was enough to carry Zhu Zhuqing. Hell Chop opened up the way, Hell Rush Stab carried her forward. The two spirit abilities merged together had a remarkable effect in passing this sea.
In a flash, after approximately ten accelerations, Zhu Zhuqing finally broke through the restrictions of the waves, in a flash, she landed noiselessly next to Dai Mubai, without being hit by a drop of water, without a red face, without hurried breathing, she withdrew her spirit, nodding slightly to Seahorse Douluo.
Seahorse Douluo’s originally tight face showed a hint of a smile,
“Very good. I can describe your display as stunning. Agility attack type Spirit Master, cat type spirit, equally focused on speed and attack. Your strength might not be equal to his, but you did even better than him. It seems even younger than him. Six ring spirit emperor, apparently my understanding of land Spirit Masters really is a bit lacking. You are equally qualified to accept the lord Seagod’s trial.”
Zhu Zhuqing once again saluted Seahorse Douluo and walked over next to Dai Mubai, gripping his still wet big hand, standing there quietly. In their eyes wasn’t a trace of concern, because they believed in their comrades’ strength.
Ashore.
Little Ao, Rongrong, up to you.”
Oscar laughed out loud, saying:
“No problem. Rongrong, let’s go.”
Oscar swiftly ate one of the clone mirror sausages produced by his sixth spirit ability. With a flicker of silvery light, his eyes suddenly brightened, and another Oscar immediately appeared next to him.
He not only ate his sixth spirit ability, but also simultaneously used his spirit bone ability, Clone.
The clone Oscar that appeared stooped, carrying Ning Rongrong on his back and, led by Oscar’s main body, simultaneously dashed towards the sea within the sea.
Black light simultaneously appeared on Oscar’s main body and the clone. His two bodies simultaneously used Hell Rush Stab. That’s right, the clone mirror sausage Oscar ate was made from a drop of Zhu Zhuqing’s blood.
However, his cloned ability had considerable flaws compared to when Zhu Zhuqing used it, and his body control naturally couldn’t compare to Zhu Zhuqing either.
However, don’t forget that Oscar wasn’t alone in stepping into the sea within the sea right now.
Gorgeous dazzling light flashed behind the back of Oscar’s clone, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appearing over Ning Rongrong’s palm. The first three floors of the pagoda blossomed with light simultaneously, and Ning Rongrong’s first spirit ability strength amplification, second spirit ability agility amplification, and third spirit ability spirit power amplification, simultaneously fell on Oscar.
Just what is called pure strength subdues ten schemes, while Oscar’s use of the Hell Civet’s abilities naturally didn’t compare to Zhu Zhuqing, right now he had Ning Rongrong’s seventy percent ability boost, capable of using eighty percent of Zhu Zhuqing’s abilities, while his spirit power, agility and strength all surpassed Zhu Zhuqing by far.
A Hell Chop equally shot out, even though Oscar’s application wasn’t as ingenious, the Hell Chop’s strength was substantially increased, and the gap cut in the seawater was even larger, enough to give him enough time to respond.
And the clone body’s ability changed along with the abilities of Oscar’
s main body, therefore Ning Rongrong’s amplification to Oscar equally affected the clone. Even though the clone body only had seventy percent or so of Oscar’s strength, it didn’t have to launch the Hell Chop, just carrying Ning Rongrong to follow behind Oscar was enough.
An extraordinary scene appeared over the sea within the sea. One person ahead, black light continuously flickering in his hands, constantly leaping forward, two people behind, one carrying the other on his back, and in the hands of the person being carried a glorious pagoda shot out three radiant lines of light to the person in front, just like a bridge linking them together. As they arrived at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, the time it took them was actually even shorter than Zhu Zhuqing.
Seeing Oscar and Ning Rongrong’s equally ideal spirit ring configuration of six spirit rings gradually vanish, Seahorse Douluo gradually stood, first looking at Ning Rongrong,
“Your spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?”
Although it was in this ocean, he still knew the seven great sects of land Spirit Masters.
Ning Rongrong smiled slightly, neither servile nor overbearing saying:
“Should be Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. But junior really is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.”
“Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?”
Seahorse Douluo’s eyes revealed a pensive light,
“Good, a good Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.”
Turning to Oscar, this Seahorse Douluo’s gaze grew a bit hesitant,
“Very difficult to imagine. I actually can’t see what your spirit is. It seems you possess the same ability as that young miss, but I still know it isn’t. From how unfamiliar with the use of the ability you are, that really isn’t your original ability. Can you tell me what your spirit is?”
Oscar smiled slightly:
“If I told you what my spirit is, would the lord Seagod’s trial be a bit easier?”
Seahorse Douluo smiled slightly, saying:
“That isn’t up to me.”
