Chapter 580: Sixth Trial: Three Against Seven

Having finally passed the Sea God's Fifth Trial, the group rested for a while and held a thorough discussion on their subsequent tactics in Sea Horse City.

Although the strength of the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo was far inferior to the Sea God Douluo, they were, after all, seven Title Douluo, and with all seven attacking together, they absolutely could not be underestimated.

Fortunately, the content of the trial was only to persist in their hands for the duration of one incense stick; it did not reach the level of having to defeat them.

Moreover, it was not just Lv Lingqi participating in this trial; there were two others as well.

The first was the Nine Heart Begonia user Ye Lingling, and the second was Feng Xiaotian.

One was a Top-tier Seven Trials participant, and the other was also a Black Level Six Trials participant; naturally, they had to participate in this trial to lend Lv Lingqi a helping hand.

With Ye Lingling present, the possibility of passing was much higher; the saying that with the Nine Heart Begonia, it is hard to even die, was no empty talk—it was a fact.

The only problem was how they would protect Ye Lingling during this Spirit Fighting; after all, she was only a healing type and could easily be targeted by the opponents in the back row.

Healing and Increase—the importance of these two types of support had always had their own merits in Feihuang's mind, but the reason why the Nine Heart Begonia had always ranked slightly lower than the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Feihuang's mind was precisely because it lacked self-preservation ability.

"Sister Lingling, once the trial begins, do not leave my side for even a step. You only need to heal me; I will use my own body to protect you!" Lv Lingqi said, holding Ye Lingling's hand.

Ye Lingling smiled, "That won't work, Lingqi. If we do that, none of us will pass this trial. You must remember, don't worry about me; I have ways to protect myself. Your opponents are the three Title Douluo with powerful close-combat abilities: Sea Horse, Sea Spear, and Sea Dragon."

"Then Lingling, I will protect you!" Feng Xiaotian said.

"That won't work either!" Ye Lingling refused again, "Brother Feng, your opponent is Hainv Douluo. Although Hainv Douluo's soul power is the weakest among the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo, once her song begins to play, it is the most threatening existence. You have the fastest speed; no matter what, you must stop her from playing. Only then will we have a chance of winning."

"Then you..." Hearing this, the group couldn't help but look at Ye Lingling with worry. As a support, how could she be without protection?

"Don't worry about me. This time, I will prove that my family's Nine Heart Begonia not only far surpasses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but even compared to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it will not be inferior!" Ye Lingling said confidently.

She had previously discussed the ranking of support-type martial souls in this world with Feihuang. As a result, among contemporary martial souls, Feihuang had ranked the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda first, the Nine Heart Begonia second, followed by the Star Luo Empire's Star Crown and the Spirit Hall's Bright Gold Scepter.

This had made her unconvinced for a long time.

In her view, if it weren't for the fact that the Nine Heart Begonia was passed down through a single line and could not form a large family, it was hard to say whose family would hold the title of the world's number one support sect.

Looking at Ye Lingling's incomparably confident gaze, the group said no more; this time, they could only choose to believe in her.

Three days later at dawn, when the first ray of sunlight shone on Sea God Island, the sacred golden light rendered the entire Sea God Mountain from the Sea God Hall that stood towering at the summit, making all the plants here seem to burst with vitality.

In front of the Ring Sea, several young figures stood on the backs of Demon Soul Great White Sharks, moving toward Sea God Mountain.

"Everyone, good luck. I don't know why, but I feel that even if the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo attack together, they won't be able to stump you. Once you pass the trial, remember to come to the seaside to share the good news with me." Xiaobai turned and left after delivering the group.

Ye Lingling, Lv Lingqi, and Feng Xiaotian looked at each other, then walked toward Sea God Mountain with determined eyes.

"Are you ready?" A voice as light as clouds and wind drifted over. A red figure descended from the sky. Just like before, no one knew how she appeared; Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi had already landed in front of them. Compared to the past, her face now held a little less of a smile and a little more seriousness.

Following behind her were the Seven Sacred Pillars Sea Douluo. Unless someone reached the Black Level Six Trials or higher, the seven of them rarely gathered like this.

"You only have one chance. The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo will not go easy on you. If you cannot pass their trial, then I believe you are all very clear about what punishment Lord Sea God will bring upon you."

An incomparably heavy pressure radiated from the Sea God Douluo, making those present almost unable to breathe.

"We are all ready. Please, seniors, enlighten us!" As the oldest of the three and the only male, Feng Xiaotian took the initiative to step forward and bear most of the pressure for the group.

"Very well. Those unrelated, stand aside to watch; the trial begins now." Bo Saixi casually lit an incense stick and inserted it into the ground.

"Everyone, get ready to fight. Open your martial souls!" Feng Xiaotian shouted, and the three of them opened their martial souls simultaneously.

Opposite them, Bo Saixi slowly flew up, moving away from the battlefield and leaving it to the Sea Douluo.

"Then, it begins!" As the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars Sea Douluo, following his command, the Seven Sacred Pillars Sea Douluo also opened their martial souls at the same moment. It was a uniform, optimal spirit ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and five black; not even one was of a lower grade.

The strength of the Sea Douluo was beyond doubt.

"Let me offer you a song. Ninth Soul Skill, Zhenhai Divine Song!" Hainv Douluo truly had no intention of being polite; she opened with her Ninth Soul Skill.

In the previous trial, she had been beaten by Lv Lingqi's rapid, fierce attacks without any chance to play, and she was full of pent-up frustration.

According to the pre-battle discussion, Feng Xiaotian increased his speed to the absolute limit and charged fiercely at Hainv Douluo. Wind Blades shot out rapidly, immediately interrupting her playing.

"You are so annoying! You won't let me play the flute! I hate you all!" Hainv Douluo was incredibly aggrieved.

She played really beautifully, so why was there no one willing to appreciate it?

At most, one would only lose their life after listening; there was nothing else that was a big deal.

Lingqi, meanwhile, broke into the center of the Sea Douluo alone. With her incomparably exquisite halberd techniques, she fought four against one, simultaneously intercepting the four Sea Douluo: Sea Dragon, Sea Horse, Sea Star, and Sea Spear.

Fighting four against one, her confidence stemmed from Ye Lingling behind her.

In any case, they weren't trying to win; just holding out for the duration of one incense stick was enough.

How powerful an eight-ring Nine Heart Begonia was became fully apparent at this moment; the damage dealt by the Sea Douluo's attacks would be fully restored by Ye Lingling in no time.

If it were one-on-one or even two-on-one, with health bars visible, perhaps two Title Douluo couldn't even hit as fast as she could heal. In short, Lv Lingqi simply wasn't losing health.

At this moment, fighting four against one, Lingqi's health bar was indeed dropping, but it was dropping extremely slowly.

At this rate of health loss, let alone one incense stick, Lv Lingqi could easily hold out for an hour.

"As expected of a martial soul that triggered the Top-tier Seven Trials. It seems the key to this Spirit Fighting is to take her down first!" Haiwang Douluo, the brains among the Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo, muttered.
