Chapter 566: Lv Lingqi and Qian Renxue: Their Respective Divine Trials
"Alright, everyone, since the Fourth Trial has been passed, let's take a look at our Fifth Trial," Feng Xiaotian reminded them.
"That's right, that's right, let's take a look. I'm so envious; our trials are all over, and there won't be any more rewards in the future," Shui Yue'er said enviously.
Most of them had already completely finished their trials, and it was feared that it would be difficult for them to make any significant progress in the short term.
They only hoped to reach the level of Spirit Douluo before the future continental war began, which would be enough to satisfy them.
As for the remaining four, they all summoned their Fifth Trial assessment cards together.
"Sea God Nine Trials, Fifth Trial: Challenge the Saint Pillar Guardians. The timer starts from the moment the first Saint Pillar Guardian is challenged. Complete all challenges within thirty-six hours. Defeating the Seven Saint Pillar Guardians constitutes a pass."
This was Lv Lingqi's trial; just like Tang San in the original work, thirty-six hours meant defeating seven Title Douluo within three days.
"I originally thought our trials were already difficult, but compared to Lingqi, it's nothing at all," Yu Tianxin sighed, taking out his own assessment card. "It seems we only need to face one Title Douluo, and that is with the assistance of Lingling."
The trials for these few had not changed much; they were still challenging the Sea Douluo, only the choice of support had changed from Ning Rongrong to Ye Lingling.
Thus, the style of combat would also have to change.
After all, healing and increasing are completely different types of support.
Increasing allows a person to greatly boost their strength in a short period of time, enabling them to fight against stronger opponents, while healing—especially top-tier healing like the Nine Heart Begonia—is defined by four words: "Deathless and Injury-free!" The person being supported will not have their power increased by even a fraction, but they can risk everything, using a fearless, death-defying tactic to trade injury for injury, or even life for life, with opponents stronger than themselves, in order to have a chance at victory.
Ye Lingling was actually much more relaxed than Ning Rongrong in the original work, after all, Ning Rongrong had to support four people to pass at that time, while she only needed to support Yu Tianxin and Feng Xiaotian to pass.
"Everyone, if you need to challenge those Sea Douluo, I can lend you a hand!" Xiaobai's voice came clearly from the water. "Thank you for helping me defeat the Demon Great White Shark King. To repay you, I can be your sparring partner, and I can also tell you the martial soul characteristics of the seven Sea Douluo."
"Really? That's great, thank you, Xiaobai!" Everyone was overjoyed. Feihuang often said that if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles; as long as they mastered the intelligence on their opponents, their chances of winning would surely increase greatly.
"Hmm!" Xiaobai leaped out of the water, transforming into a beautiful woman, and said to Feng Xiaotian and Yu Tianxin, "Then I will first tell you the martial souls and levels of the Sea Douluo, and then you tell me which Sea Douluo is your respective opponent, okay?"
Xiaobai said solemnly, "The seven Sea Douluo, also known as the Sea God Seven Children, are the guardian deities of our Sea God Island. Their strength is a notch higher than Title Douluo of the same level on the continent because their spirit rings are almost all produced by high-year spirit beasts from the ocean. Spirit beasts in the ocean are definitely more numerous and stronger than land spirit beasts; you must not be careless."
"Among the Sea Douluo, the strength from lowest to highest is: Level 92 Hainv Douluo, Level 92 Sea Star Douluo, Level 92 Sea Ghost Douluo, Level 93 Sea Horse Douluo, Level 93 Haiwang Douluo, Level 94 Sea Spear Douluo, and Level 95 Hailong Douluo."
"Among them, the last three Title Douluo possess domains; their strength is far greater than the first four, especially Hailong Douluo, who has already reached the level of a Super Douluo."
Hearing Xiaobai's introduction, Feng Xiaotian, Yu Tianxin, and Ye Lingling all felt heavy-hearted. Those lucky enough to pick the first few still had a chance of winning, but those who picked the last three were likely in trouble, as everyone here, except for Lv Lingqi, currently lacked the power of a domain to contend with them.
Feng Xiaotian stood out first, "My opponent is Sea Spear Douluo. What about you, Tianxin?"
Feng Xiaotian also felt he was very unlucky; right off the bat, it was one of the tough characters ranked second. "I am Sea Horse Douluo," Yu Tianxin said.
He was neither lucky nor unlucky; Sea Horse Douluo was a middle-of-the-pack character among the seven Sea Douluo.
With hard work, good training, and a bit of luck, he still had a certain chance of winning.
Lingqi was the one in a difficult spot, even more so than Tang San, because Tang San in the original work exploited a bug in the trial, letting others go up to challenge first, and waiting until his partners had weakened the Sea Douluo before he went up, thereby saving a lot of time and soul power.
But Lv Lingqi could not do that, because there were only two of them challenging, and even if these two could help her share some of the burden, there were still five others left to fight.
In the following days, Xiaobai worked hard to provide special training for everyone. With the might of Title Douluo, if their practical combat abilities were not significantly improved in a short time, it would be very difficult to win.
As a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, Xiaobai's strength was also at the Title Douluo level, and she possessed a domain; her combat power was not below that of Sea Spear Douluo among the Sea God Seven Children, making her an excellent sparring partner.
At the Spirit Hall, just as Feihuang and his partners were working hard, Qian Renxue was not idle either.
Her Angel Trials had already reached the Sixth Trial, and with the help of her grandfather, her efficiency was even higher than Feihuang's, and she had already achieved a comeback.
This was the benefit of having a guide; Feihuang's Unparalleled Divine General Trials could only rely on himself.
And hers were of a "gift" nature. Fortunately, this Sixth Trial of Qian Renxue's was truly difficult, just like the Sixth Trial of the Sea God Nine Trials in the original work: she had to face a Limit Douluo head-on.
The requirement was to persist for the duration of one stick of incense under her grandfather's full-force attack; there was no limit to the number of challenges, with a time limit of one year.
Although Qian Renxue had also broken through to the Title Douluo realm and possessed a god-level martial soul, her strength was comparable to a Super Douluo.
But Qian Daoliu was the same; his martial soul was also a god-level martial soul. With the same quality of martial soul, an ordinary Title Douluo facing a Limit Douluo wouldn't even be able to hold on for a single exchange, let alone a stick of incense. Even if Qian Renxue were stronger, this trial was still as difficult as ascending to heaven for her.
"Ugh!" With a muffled groan, Qian Renxue was struck down by a beam of Holy Light.
Qian Renxue had lost; this was already her third failure, and the incense had only burned halfway.
"Grandfather, I'm sorry, I failed again," Qian Renxue said in a low voice.
Qian Daoliu slowly descended from the air, "It doesn't matter, your progress has already been great. The first time, you only took one move from me; the second time, you held on for a quarter of a stick of incense; now it has become half a stick. You are constantly growing."
Qian Renxue gave a self-deprecating smile, "If it were Feihuang, perhaps he wouldn't just hold on for a stick of incense, but might even be able to defeat you directly."
Qian Daoliu did not deny it, "That's right. When we last met, his strength was already no weaker than mine. With his rate of progress, it is impossible for him to have made no headway in over a year. If we were to fight anywhere outside the Offering Hall, I would, in nine cases out of ten, no longer be his match."
