Chapter 92: Zhou Yu's Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring
The middle-aged man in yellow robes bowed ninety degrees toward the triangular platform in the Sea Within a Sea, offering a respectful salute: "Reporting to the Seahorse Lord, foreign land Spirit Masters have arrived to undergo the trial. Please grant your permission."
Driven by soul power, his voice traveled like a straight line, drowning out the surging waves within the Sea Within a Sea.
The black-robed figure seated at the edge of the triangular platform, sheltered by the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, suddenly opened his eyes. Although he was over two hundred meters away from the shore, the mere act of opening his eyes caused Zhou Yu and the others on the bank to tremble involuntarily.
Those two deep, resentful gazes were like two bottomless abysses; even from such a distance, they made each of them keenly feel the formidable power emanating from the black-robed man.
Zhou Yu spoke slowly with a calm expression: "A Title Douluo!"
This was the supreme symbol of glory in the Spirit Master world; this black-robed man was the first Title Douluo among the Sea Soul Masters they had encountered since entering the sea area.
"Land Spirit Masters wish to undergo the trial of His Majesty the Sea God? You only qualify to undergo the trial if you cross the Sea Within a Sea and arrive before the Seahorse Sacred Pillar."
A blue-hued halo lit up behind the Seahorse Douluo, and a resounding, powerful voice rang out.
Immediately after, the Seahorse Sacred Pillar behind him suddenly radiated brilliant azure light; this light rose from the bottom to the very top of the pillar, forming a bright blue channel.
Centered on the pillar's summit, rings of azure ripples instantly spread outward, resembling a barrier of light stretching across the Sea Within a Sea.
Given that the Seahorse Sacred Pillar stood about ten meters high, this floating light barrier extended correspondingly to a height of ten meters, clearly defining the boundary between flight and forward movement.
Everyone understood that the first trial of Sea God Island had arrived.
Zhou Yu thought to himself: "This height makes using flight soul skills impossible..."
Dai Mubai stepped forward and said: "Let me try."
As the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, his strength was second only to Tang San's.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and gave him a thumbs-up.
Dai Mubai walked to the shore of the Sea Within a Sea, stepping onto the fine, silver-glistening sand.
—Roar!
Suddenly, he unleashed a deafening roar; his hands clenched into fists and quickly retracted, instantly enveloping his entire body in dazzling white light like raging flames.
At the same time, his six spirit rings bloomed brilliantly at that moment, showcasing his extraordinary strength.
The muscles on his body swelled, covered by white fur dense with black patterns; like a beast king descending, his unparalleled majesty and domineering aura seemed like a star suddenly exploding, radiating light in all directions and shaking the surroundings.
The gravel beneath his feet was agitated by this power, turning into layers of ripples sweeping outward; that heart-stopping dominant aura, along with those eyes flashing with evil light, made even the Seahorse Douluo two hundred meters away tremble slightly in his heart.
The Seahorse Douluo waved his right hand, and the waves before him immediately churned, rising to a height of ten meters, seemingly sealing off all forward paths.
The seawater, like a torrent crashing down from the sky with a booming roar, did not overflow the bounds of the Sea Within a Sea.
Facing this scene, Dai Mubai felt no fear whatsoever; his third spirit ring suddenly lit up, and he unleashed the skill of his millennium spirit ring, the White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
His already extremely burly body expanded again; the white fur instantly turned golden, the 'King' symbol on his forehead became so clear, and every muscle on his body seemed to burst forth with explosive power.
Under the amplification of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, he let out a tiger roar; intense golden light spread before him, and the White Tiger Intense Light Wave spat forth, transforming into a powerful beam of white light charging straight at the waves.
Amidst a thunderous crash, the waves directly in front were blown open by him into a huge hole; at the same time, Dai Mubai's mighty body leaped up, charging straight at the waves with unparalleled domineering aura.
Shortly after, when he was only five steps away from the Seahorse Sacred Pillar platform, the sea surface suddenly surged backward, raising a towering column of water straight into the clouds, violently colliding with the golden light curtain suspended in the air. Immediately, a massive, golden-glowing figure leaped out from the waves, took a leisurely breath mid-air, swung both arms backward, and struck heavily upon the wave crest; utilizing this impact force, it landed steadily before the Seahorse Douluo.
"Excellent! You have the qualification to undergo the trial of the Sea God."
The Seahorse Douluo's eyes showed a hint of approval as he nodded toward Dai Mubai.
The second to break through was Zhu Zhuqing; compared to Dai Mubai, her speed was incredibly swift, moving lightly and unimpeded like a ghost; her figure leaped to a height of ten meters in an instant, and when she was only half a foot away from the light curtain radiating from the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, she could skillfully turn mid-air, diving straight toward the Seahorse Sacred Pillar with a resolute and agile posture.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing successfully pass, Oscar and Ning Rongrong, both Support-type Soul Masters, exchanged a glance and stepped forward together.
Oscar pulled out one of his own sixth spirit skill Copy Mirror Sausages, ate it; silver light flashed, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
With a shake of his body, another Oscar instantly appeared beside himself.
The clone bent his knees and waist, easily hoisting Ning Rongrong onto his back; under the guidance of the original body, they advanced swiftly toward the depths of the Sea Within a Sea.
At the same time, both Oscar's original body and clone were enveloped by a layer of black light; the two, in perfect coordination, unleashed the Netherworld Thrust, launching a fierce attack.
This was thanks to the Copy Mirror Sausage Oscar had consumed, which was crafted using a drop of Zhu Zhuqing's fresh blood.
However, there were still significant flaws in this replicated skill compared to Zhu Zhuqing using it herself; naturally, the control over the body could not compare to hers.
Suddenly, brilliant, dazzling light flashed behind Oscar's clone; the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in Ning Rongrong's palm.
The first three layers of the pagoda simultaneously radiated light; the First Spirit Skill Strength Amplification, the Second Spirit Skill Agility Amplification, and the Third Spirit Skill Soul Power Amplification all fell upon Oscar.
At this moment, a strange scene unfolded on the sea surface: ahead, one person with frequent flashes of black light in his hand jumped vigorously forward; closely following behind were two people, one carrying another on his back; the person on the back held a magnificent pagoda, from which three brilliant beams of light projected, falling precisely onto the person moving forward like a bridge, tightly connecting the three.
When they arrived before the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, the time consumed was so short that it surpassed Zhu Zhuqing who had gone first.
Four people successfully passed; only Zhou Yu and Tang San remained.
"Tang San, should you go first or should I?"
Zhou Yu looked at Tang San beside him and asked in a calm tone.
Tang San wanted to save himself for the grand finale, so he politely said: "Lin Yu, you go first!"
"Good!"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly; he, whose soul power level had reached the Soul Saint realm, strode forward.
In an instant, seven spirit rings slowly rose from beneath his feet.
When everyone saw the color of his seventh spirit ring, they were utterly shocked.
"Red! A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring?"
Tang San, standing beside him, saw it most clearly; he simply could not believe that the Zhou Yu before him had soul power reaching the Soul Saint realm and possessed a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
If he knew that Zhou Yu's hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was obtained from his mother, he wondered what his reaction would be.
