Chapter 331: The Fifth Trial

Ye Lin looked at Xiaobai,

"Xiaobai, thank you for your hard work. Let's head back."

Ripples of mental energy spread out from Xiaobai's body,

and the school of Demon Soul Great White Sharks scattered in the surroundings quickly gathered together.

Under Xiaobai's lead, they turned back toward the direction they had come from with the speed of lightning.

Not only had everyone passed the Fourth Trial,

but at the same time, they had also truly gained the friendship of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

With their help, the Evil Demon Orcas had been completely wiped out, and both Xiaobai and her clansmen were extremely excited.

They were even more exceptionally close to everyone.

"Ye Lin, do you need my help?"

Xiaobai's voice came clearly from beneath her.

Under Xiaobai's insistence, she had become Ye Lin's mount during the return journey.

Her voice was not affected in the slightest by their rapid movement.

"Help?" Ye Lin looked down at Xiaobai in confusion,

"Are you saying you want to assist us with practical combat training like in the Second Trial?"

Xiaobai said, "It's different from that time. During your Second Trial, I was restricted by the trial conditions and couldn't attack you without restraint."

"But now, I can freely control how much of my ability I release. Don't forget, I am a Sea Soul Beast. Moreover, I have an understanding of the strength of most of the Seven Holy Pillar Sea Douluo."

"Theoretically speaking, I can simulate the various strengths they possess to act as a sparring partner for you."

"In that case, you will naturally find it easier when you fight them again."

Ye Lin immediately laughed,

"That won't be necessary,"

"Aren't those Seven Great Holy Pillar Guardians the best sparring partners?"

"We can let them properly hone us and improve our individual combat abilities within this year."

Xiaobai suddenly realized it was indeed so,

and since there was no limit on the number of challenges, they could challenge them continuously.

Soon, under the escort of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, everyone returned to Sea God Island; this Fourth Trial,

could be said to be the one where everyone spent the least amount of time,

and the easiest trial to complete.

Everyone had gained something to varying degrees.

The most gratifying thing was, of course, that everyone's soul power had improved,

and Ye Lin had gained a huge boost.

Having spent a not-insignificant amount of time on the sea,

the feeling of having their feet on solid ground again was wonderful.

Xiaobai then took her clansmen and dove into the sea to handle the aftermath for the tribe.

After all, they had also suffered casualties in this battle.

With blue seas and silver sands, looking at the beautiful scenery where the water and sky met in the distance,

everyone sat on the soft, fine beach.

Having rested for three months and only taking a few days to complete the Fourth Trial, everyone was in a very good mood.

Even if the upcoming Fifth Trial would be more difficult, having experienced so much, they had already built up sufficient confidence.

"Mother!"

Xiong Er brought Xiao Ye over quickly.

"Come, let Mother give you a hug."

Boom!

Golden light burst forth, turning into countless rays of light that dyed the sky.

Six massive golden wings spread out behind her back, and a golden halo erupted from within her body.

Immediately, it caused those bursting golden threads to flow into the six wings on her back like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, turning into solidified energy.

Floating in mid-air, Qian Renxue closed her eyes,

and pressed her hands together in front of her chest.

The sacred aura rendered her already noble temperament with an even more lofty feeling.

Qian Daoliu stood quietly in the distance,

looking at his granddaughter who was floating in the air, replacing the light of the sun, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

Qian Renxue opened her eyes; her pupils had turned completely golden,

and between her brows, a strange golden flame magic pattern pulsed quietly.

"Grandfather, I have passed the Fifth Trial, and my Angel Affinity has increased to forty percent."

Qian Daoliu smiled, "Your foundation is deep, which is why you were able to pass five trials in these short few years."

"The following Sixth Trial is still considered simple. But the final three trials are difficult beyond measure. You must be mentally prepared."

A determined light flickered in Qian Renxue's eyes, "No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely complete it. Now I just want to know what my Sixth Trial is."

"Only after passing this Sixth Trial will it be time for me to consider the final three trials."

A sharp glint flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes, "Very good. Neither arrogant nor rash."

"The appearance of the Nine Trials is by no means luck. It not only represents that you possess astonishing talent and character, but it also represents that the Six-Winged Angel has sensed a fatal threat."

"Although I do not know what it is, it must exist."

"Only when your affinity with the Six-Winged Angel reaches one hundred percent can you possess the ability to destroy enemies and defend the glory of the angels."

"Your Sixth Trial is to persist for the duration of one incense stick under my attack. Time limit: one year."

Regardless of how firm Qian Renxue's expression had been before, when she heard this sentence from Qian Daoliu, her face, which was even more beautiful than before, still changed color.

Qian Daoliu did not give her too much explanation,

Golden flames instantly rose from beneath his feet, and nine dazzling Spirit Rings accompanied by six enormous golden wings unfolded behind his back.

He raised his right hand, and within his palm, there seemed to be a golden eye. A profound light erupted,

The next moment, Qian Renxue's body had already been blasted over a hundred meters away by a beam of intense light, blood spraying wildly.

"Remember, I will not show mercy. If you cannot hold on, then rest and accept the trial again."

……

At the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong stood on the massive balcony,

From here, she could overlook over two hundred and seventy degrees of the scenery below the mountain.

The only thing she could not see was the Douluo Hall, which was higher up behind her.

As if sensing something, her eyes suddenly turned purple-black, and the noble and sacred aura she originally possessed seemed to be ruined by this purple-black radiance,

Her gaze swept ferociously toward one direction. Slowly raising her head, fine demonic patterns bloomed from her forehead,

Her originally peerless face instantly became ferocious.

Turning around abruptly, the great doors behind her opened without any wind,

Before she entered the doors, one could only vaguely see that her body had already expanded to a terrifying height of five meters,

Her lower body was even more massive, releasing an extremely terrifying purple-black aura. Different from the nine Spirit Rings she displayed in front of outsiders,

What she revealed at this moment were seven deep Spirit Rings: six black and one red.

……

"Prepare for the matters of the assessment,"

After resting simply for a while, Ye Lin was ready to start the assessment matters again.

"Let us try to clear it. With our current strength, there should still be a very good chance."

"However, it will be much more difficult for Ma Hongjun."

Speaking of this, Ma Hongjun gave a bitter smile,

His soul power was only at level seventy, and he had not yet absorbed his Seventh Spirit Ring,

It could not be called difficult; it could only be called extremely difficult.

Ye Lin smiled,

"Rest assured, I naturally have a way to let you all pass."
