Chapter 575: The Bottlenecks of the Two, The Fifth and Sixth Trials of the Peerless God General
"Very good, Lingqi is keeping my warnings in mind. Now that she has the absolute advantage, as long as she doesn't let Sea Horse Douluo use his Ninth Spirit Skill, she is certain to win." The Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiaobai watched the battlefield, feeling very satisfied in her heart.
As the former mount of the Sea God, she had a deep friendship with Sea God Island and had often guided other Sea Soul Masters in their cultivation, but she had never seen anyone with such high combat proficiency as this girl.
She could see through all the combat methods of those Sea Douluo after watching them almost once; as long as a skill had been used in front of her, it would absolutely be useless a second time.
Haiwang Douluo, Haigui, Sea Star, and Hainv Douluo were not skilled in close-quarters combat to begin with, so Lingqi did not need anyone else's help; she only needed to utilize her own advantages well and suppress those four with a storm-like offensive.
By preventing them from achieving success in their most proficient areas—illusion, deadly poison, control, and musical rhythm—she could easily defeat them.
As for the close-combat experts Sea Spear and Sea Horse, because they had been engaged in fierce battles with Feng Xiaotian and Yu Tianxin under Lv Lingqi's gaze previously, their proficient spear techniques and fist techniques had already entered her eyes.
From the moment the battle began, they had not the slightest chance of winning.
Because Lv Lingqi was the daughter of the Ghost God Lv Bu, inheriting the combat genes of that Peerless Ghost God.
"Imperial Flying Knife!"
On the field at this moment, Lv Lingqi launched another Imperial Flying Knife, and one blade of the Cross Halberd finally pierced into Sea Horse Douluo's shoulder.
Although it was only a trial and neither side would land a lethal blow, spirit skills had no eyes after all, and no one could avoid getting injured.
Sea Horse Douluo clutched his bleeding shoulder and muttered, "Well fought, what a 'Mensa Liu' tactic. Miss Lingqi, you win!"
In this battle, he had actually been stifled to death by his opponent; his eighth or ninth spirit skills could not be used at all. Every time his soul power began to gather, it would be dispersed by Lv Lingqi.
With Sea Horse Douluo's Title-level cultivation, he could indeed achieve instantaneous casting for his first few spirit skills, but how could the power of those first few spirit skills threaten Lv Lingqi?
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. Sister Lingling, please trouble yourself to heal the Senior," Lv Lingqi said, turning her head to look at Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling nodded, stepped forward, and opened the Nine Heart Begonia. While healing, she looked at Lingqi with worry and said, "Lingqi, you should rest too. You have fought six Title Douluo in a row; your mental exhaustion is too great. Next, there is still the strongest, Hailong Douluo."
As the head of the Seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God, Hailong Douluo's power was far beyond what the other six could compare to.
First of all, he was also a Title Douluo skilled in close combat like Sea Spear and Sea Horse, and he also possessed the Demon Breaking Domain.
Under this domain, Lv Lingqi's Ghost God Domain could not be used either.
Moreover, Lingqi had never seen Hailong Douluo make a move and only had a little bit of information about his combat methods heard from Xiaobai.
Without seeing his moves and spirit skills with her own eyes, it would be impossible to be as unstoppable as she was against Sea Spear and Sea Horse.
Furthermore, Hailong Douluo was a Super Douluo who had reached Level 95; both the quality and quantity of his soul power had undergone a qualitative change.
It could be said that Hailong Douluo was the true difficult hurdle for Lingqi in this Fifth Trial.
"I understand!" Lv Lingqi said. "I spent very little time fighting the first six seniors, less than twelve hours, so I still have a full twenty-four hours to rest. Before fighting Hailong Douluo, I will definitely restore myself to my best state first!"
"Most importantly, after the continuous fierce battles with Title Douluo, I feel that my bottleneck has loosened!"
"What?" Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Lingqi's current level was Level 89; what did the loosening of her bottleneck mean? Of course, it meant she was about to break through and become a Title Douluo.
"Miss Lingqi, the Seahorse Sacred Pillar is where you accepted the trial. You have bathed in the Sea God's Light here before. Since that is the case, you should meditate here; your cultivation efficiency will be maximized here," said Sea Horse Douluo.
It was not that Lv Lingqi had no chance of winning against Hailong Douluo, but things like winning chances were always better the more you had.
Level 89 and Level 90, although only a one-level difference, were a huge watershed.
Level 90 was a Quasi-Title Douluo; even without obtaining the Ninth Spirit Ring, one's combat power would have a significant increase compared to Level 89. "Thank you, Senior!" Lv Lingqi cupped her fists at Sea Horse Douluo and walked to sit cross-legged beneath the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
Under the illumination of the Sea God's Light, her soul power rose violently.
At the same time, inside the Xuedi Cheng Bao in the Extreme North, with the assistance of the Flying Brilliance Escape Armor Heavenly Book, Dian Wei was also repeatedly charging at that critical bottleneck.
"E Lai, I feel that the barrier is becoming thinner and thinner. Keep it up!" Feihuang was also filled with anticipation in his heart; his strongest and most trusted vanguard general was finally about to awaken completely.
Just at this moment, the Flying Brilliance Escape Armor Heavenly Book suddenly flickered, and the page turned to the end.
A deep voice came, "Nan Feihuang, Peerless God General Fourth Trial, completed. God General Affinity increased by 15%, now at 40%!"
"Oh, my Fourth Trial has passed. It seems Third Sister and the others are also very smooth," Feihuang laughed.
A few days ago, after Nan Feiling broke through to Level 80 with the help of a soul bone, Shui Bing'er took her to hunt for a spirit ring.
Since the God Trial was passed now, it meant that she had also completed the breakthrough and become a true Spirit Douluo.
The content of this Fourth Trial was for his four deputy generals to all have their strength reach Level 80 or above.
Now Dian Wei was at the peak of Level 89 and was charging at Level 90; Xun Yu was at Level 88; Shui Bing'er had reached Level 84 after continuously absorbing a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and soul bone; as for Nan Feiling, she was probably around Level 81 to 82.
Feihuang checked the new subsequent pages of the Escape Armor Heavenly Book, but he did not expect that this time, two pages were updated in one go.
The Fifth and Sixth Trials appeared simultaneously.
"Peerless God General Fifth Trial, achieve Limit Douluo, time limit two years."
"Peerless God General Sixth Trial, establish a nation, promote the Gu Lei Kingdom to the Gu Lei Empire, and possess a Spirit Master Legion of over 20,000 and an army of over 700,000, time limit two years."
"Hehe, two trials in one go? It seems it's because my early work was done well and I had already completed most of these two trials, so they just appeared together," Feihuang smiled.
These two trials had no difficulty for him.
He was currently at Level 98; reaching Level 99 within two years, even without relying on the power of the Red Hare, was not necessarily impossible.
As for establishing an empire, it was already within his plans.
When his martial soul first awakened, the Gu Lei Kingdom already possessed about 6,000 Spirit Masters and 100,000 to 150,000 troops.
Later, through development year by year, especially after he first won the Soul Master Tournament, then continuously defeated the six great Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and then became the youngest Title Douluo on the entire continent, various achievements attracted many wild Spirit Masters to join.
In addition to the joining of the Element Academy and the Po Clan, the number of Spirit Masters in the Gu Lei Kingdom had long reached 15,000.
The army was even simpler; after all, ordinary people could also be soldiers. The Gu Lei Kingdom had accumulated a lot of money over these years and also used the three women from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who married into the kingdom to amass wealth.
Gu Lei was originally a major grain-producing country; with money and grain in hand, why fear having no soldiers?
The number of troops, in these fifteen years of development, had long exceeded 300,000 and was even approaching 400,000.
Now the Hagen Dazs Kingdom and the Tianshuang Principality were also under Feihuang's control; adding these two countries together, it was impossible that they couldn't even produce 5,000 Spirit Masters and 300,000 troops.
Therefore, in reality, Feihuang had already passed 90% of this Sixth Trial.
This was all thanks to the various efforts everyone had made over the years to develop the country.
