Chapter 98: The Taste of the Great White Shark

After three months, Tang San and the others' cultivation location had already reached the thirty-fifth step.

And after Zhou Yu increased his strength, he directly raised his cultivation location to the eightieth step.

Half a year later, at the foot of Sea God Mountain.

In everyone's eyes, a kind of unprecedented firm light flickered, forged by the heavy pressures and unremitting cultivation since they first stepped into this place.

This journey not only made their physiques increasingly strong and their soul power deeper, but also unconsciously tempered their wills, making them unyielding, achieving a comprehensive leap and growth.

One month ago, Dai Mubai finally completed the process of qualitative change; with the help of the God-Bestowed Soul Ring, he broke through the bottleneck of Level 70 and reached the Soul Saint realm like Tang San.

And the others also had varying degrees of improvement; their current soul power levels are:

Blue Silver True Dragon Zhou Yu, Level 86 Strong Attack System Soul Douluo.

Thousand Hand Asura Tang San, Level 76 Control System War Soul Saint.

Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai, Level 71 Strong Attack System War Soul Saint.

Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Ning Rongrong, Level 69 Support System Tool Soul Emperor.

Nether Spirit Cat Zhu Zhuqing, Level 69 Quick Attack System War Soul Emperor.

Big Sausage Uncle Oscar, Level 68 Food System Tool Soul Emperor.

One year of bitter cultivation in Sea God's Light caused each of them to grow significantly, with soul power increasing by at least seven levels.

In cultivation at their level, this is almost an impossible task.

At some point, Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi had already come to their side; she smiled and said, "Congratulations on passing the First Trial. But, a more difficult assessment lies ahead. Whether it is the Black Level Assessment or the Top Level Assessment, never forget the importance of the team."

Suddenly, Tang San spoke up and asked, "Senior, may I ask you a question?"

Bo Saixi nodded to Tang San: "Ask away."

Tang San said, "Is this God-Bestowed Soul Ring your power, or the Sea God's power?"

Bo Saixi said indifferently, "Of course it is the Sea God's power; this is a miracle. Whenever a Black Level Assessor appears, the Sea God grants the opportunity for a God-Bestowed Soul Ring. Besides a miracle, who else can bestow a Spirit Ring? I am human, not a god."

Tang San looked deeply at Bo Saixi, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Senior, I understand."

After asking the doubts in his heart, Tang San sat on the ground with no image at all; nearly a year of cultivation without sleep or rest, while causing his strength to grow rapidly, also kept his spirit in a state of extreme tension.

If he did not relax a bit now, his heart would probably collapse.

Zhou Yu, standing behind, did not understand why Tang San asked such a question.

But after Bo Saixi left, he found Tang San secretly looking at her with a strange gaze.

"..."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but think to himself: "This little rascal, is he plotting something against Bo Saixi?"

Playing tricks in front of a peerless expert at Level 99 isn't that the same as seeking one's own death?...

Next, the challenge they faced for the Second Trial was the Demon Soul Great White Shark King.

However, even with the combined strength of six people, they still could not defeat this Great White Shark King.

At the moment of crisis, the Golden Trident on Zhou Yu's forehead suddenly burst forth with brilliant, dazzling light.

A huge trident phantom, carved with complex patterns and extremely dazzling, floated behind him.

Golden light rippled, transforming into a dazzling halo that spread out; the terrifying attack power of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, under the coverage of this circle of golden light, simply melted away like ice and snow.

In an instant, everyone present felt an indescribable majesty.

And the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, who had just been full of anger, suddenly froze; with a plop, she knelt on the ground, the anger in her eyes completely replaced by a devout light.

At this very moment, kneeling on the ground was not only the Demon Soul Great White Shark King; on the peak of Sea God Mountain, Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi also knelt inside the temple, two lines of tears flowing down her face as she murmured something. At this time, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King spoke; her expression appeared extremely excited, and she bowed her head to Zhou Yu: "I was wrong, respected Sea God, I should not have disobeyed your will. Please forgive my blasphemy; I will never dare again."

The Shrek Five Monsters all felt like laughing; where was this the hundred-thousand-year demonic beast that almost killed them? It was simply like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Just like that, they successfully completed the Second Trial.

And the Third Trial was Tidal Body Refining.

Zhou Yu's body was already close to a God Body, so naturally he did not need to undergo such a trial.

Except for him, Tang San and the other five needed to undergo a painful experience lasting three hundred and sixty-five days.

Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi sat cross-legged at the peak, watching them quietly.

On the other side, Zhou Yu, with nothing to do, came to the seaside.

To verify one thing, he sought out Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King who had transformed into human form.

In a quiet corner, Xiao Bai knelt on the beach, looking up at the Zhou Yu before her with a face full of shock.

She asked in disbelief, "Sea... Sea God! What do you need me to do?"

Zhou Yu nodded seriously and asked in return, "If the request I make is too excessive and you are unwilling, would you refuse?"

Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment and murmured back, "N... no! The Sea God's command, don't say me, even Lord Bo Saixi would not dare to refuse!"

"..."

This was exactly the answer Zhou Yu wanted; he didn't expect the people of Sea God Island to worship the Sea God to such a perverted degree; they were truly crazy.

Hearing this, he boldly said, "Xiao Bai, I have a brother who has been hungry for more than a year..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai was immediately startled.

She quickly spoke up and said, "May I ask what food the Sea God's brother likes? I will find it immediately!"

Zhou Yu calmly said, "He is not picky; he eats meat and he eats grass. However, it seems he has never eaten fish..."

"Fish?"

Xiao Bai revealed an innocent smile and said, "On Sea God Island, the thing we lack least is fish."

"He wants to eat Great White Shark!"

Zhou Yu said in a firm tone.

"……"

Xiao Bai froze for a moment—she hadn't expected that the Sea God wanted to eat one of her own kind.

After a brief hesitation, she finally nodded and stood up, saying, "Lord Sea God, I'll go prepare it right away!"

Just as Xiao Bai turned to leave, Zhou Yu grabbed her hand and said, "He has very high standards for ingredients—at the very least… a hundred-thousand-year great white shark!"

"……"

At his words, Xiao Bai went pale with fright; she couldn't believe her own ears and asked in a low voice, "Lord Sea God's brother… wants to eat me?"

"Mm, raw!"

Zhou Yu said without thinking, then yanked the great white shark right before him over.

Utterly shocked, Xiao Bai's body involuntarily pitched forward and tumbled squarely into Lord Sea God's embrace…
