Chapter 133: Feng Xiaotian's Black-Level Six Trials
The Spirit Hall's sea boat escort only took ten days to reach a position just over one hundred nautical miles from Sea God Island, and upon arriving at this location, Lingxu finally brought out the Super Dragon Abyss Boat.
Letting the people from the Spirit Hall return, Lingxu took the nine people toward Sea God Island.
Although the Super Dragon Abyss Boat was not as large as the Hundred-Meter Sea Boat, it was more comfortable and faster; because they had a guide, Lingxu did not travel through the territory of the Demon Whale Sea Area.
Therefore, the journey was very smooth, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would arrive in half a day, but Lingxu seemed to remember that the Guardian Divine Beast of Sea God Island, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, would guard Sea God Island and reject outsiders.
However, there were three days every month when the Demon Soul Great White Shark would lead its kin out to forage, but Lingxu did not know this timing; the last time the Spirit Hall attacked, they were lucky and it happened to be within those three days.
So, when asking the people from the Spirit Hall, none of them knew either.
Therefore, to land on Sea God Island, Lingxu currently had three methods.
The first was to detect the movements of the Demon Soul Great White Shark and wait for them to go forage collectively before Lingxu made a move.
The second was to do as Tang San did, using the Vast Sea Universe Cover to sneak in from the seabed.
The final third was to go directly, and if he encountered the Demon Soul Great White Shark pack, Lingxu would fight his way onto Sea God Island.
These three methods were Lingxu's initial thoughts, but he eventually discovered there was another, even more covert method.
Lingxu called the nine people out, and everyone lined up in a row.
"For the remaining hundred-plus nautical miles, especially near Sea God Island, there is a pack of Demon Soul Great White Sharks. The leader among them is a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, and the other Demon Soul Great White Sharks, even those with a thousand-year cultivation, possess the attack power of a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast."
"Although the defense of this Super Dragon Abyss Boat is strong enough to withstand a few attacks from ordinary ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, if several thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Sharks attack, the Super Dragon Abyss Boat will not be able to hold on for long."
"Facing these Demon Soul Great White Sharks is not the right time for your training, so I have decided to take you across."
"In a moment, I will send you into a space; you only need to stay inside for a few joss sticks of time."
After explaining the situation, the nine people had no objections, and with a thought, Lingxu took them into the System Space.
Lingxu activated Martial Soul Possession, and wings unfolded behind his back.
The martial soul had six wings, and Lingxu only needed to unfold two of them.
The remaining four wings did not need to be unfolded at all, nor was such high speed necessary.
Under the condition of two wings, if Lingxu's flight speed was 100%, then the four wings would provide a 20% bonus, and all six wings together could reach a total of 150%.
Covering over a hundred nautical miles, it took Lingxu less than an hour to arrive at a position one thousand meters above Sea God Island.
He then descended rapidly, right at the edge of the island's forest, but the moment Lingxu landed, Xiaobai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark in the waters near Sea God Island, noticed that someone had come to Sea God Island.
She swam rapidly toward Sea God Island; even if someone had already landed on the island, she still had the responsibility to expel them.
Upon swimming to the shallows, she shifted her soul power, and Xiaobai transformed into human form and stepped onto Sea God Island.
Just as Lingxu landed, Xiaobai also arrived in front of him.
"Outsider, you should not have entered Sea God Island," Xiaobai said directly.
Lingxu said indifferently: "A Demon Soul Great White Shark, is it? I have already entered Sea God Island now; having arrived here, do you still need to interfere?"
"I... who knew you would drop from the sky? No, to enter Sea God Island, you must first pass me," Xiaobai said, seemingly wanting to have a fight with Lingxu.
In fact, at this moment, Lingxu had already hidden his soul power; before leaving, he had tested it in Wuhun City, and by using the perfected Restraining Breath Art, even Qian Daoliu could not see through Lingxu's strength.
Unless it was a true god, so at this moment, under the disguise of the Restraining Breath Art, Lingxu was not that strong.
He was roughly at the level of a Soul Emperor.
However, since this Xiaobai wanted to fight, then let them fight.
Lingxu activated Martial Soul Possession, and then the Spirit Rings on his body lit up.
Disguised as a Soul Emperor, Lingxu only displayed six Spirit Rings, and the colors of the Spirit Rings had also changed.
They were the quite normal yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!
Knowing that Lingxu appeared to be a Soul Emperor, Xiaobai was full of confidence.
Because he arrived from the sky and avoided her defensive zone, even though Lingxu had landed on Sea God Island, she still had to teach him a lesson.
Xiaobai leaped, attacking Lingxu rapidly.
Lingxu's disguise was a complete one, meaning his strength was also weakened, but it was still far stronger than an ordinary Soul Emperor.
Bang...
Xiaobai's attack speed was extremely fast, while Lingxu used his movement technique to neutralize them one by one.
Then Xiaobai changed her attack method; she clapped her palms out, and a whirlpool-like gray-blue light suddenly erupted and attacked Lingxu.
Lingxu also activated his own soul skill, Holy Light Defense.
Although his soul power was heavily disguised, the Holy Light Defense spirit skill still exerted the level of a ten-thousand-year spirit skill.
Boom...
With a loud bang, Xiaobai discovered that her attack had actually been blocked.
She had held back somewhat, but it was still not something an ordinary Soul Emperor could withstand.
"You are much stronger than an average Soul Emperor."
At the same time, sea-blue light surged on Xiaobai's body, and streaks of sea-blue light attacked again.
This time, Lingxu did not use Holy Light Defense, but instead used his movement technique again.
Bang...
Xiaobai's attack missed again and hit elsewhere.
Lingxu smiled: "Xiaobai, I don't have time to play with you."
Speeding up, Lingxu used the Maze Phantom Step to shuttle rapidly through the jungle.
"This speed." After chasing for several hundred meters, Xiaobai found that she was actually unable to keep up.
"Is he really a Soul Emperor! But how does he know my name is Xiaobai?" Xiaobai looked over in confusion.
Having already gone deep into Sea God Island, she stopped pursuing and returned to the sea.
Entering Sea God Island from the sky was not actually under her jurisdiction.
After a while, Lingxu discovered that the Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiaobai was not following, so he stopped; however, the moment he stopped, Lingxu discovered that someone ahead was rushing toward him.
Four or five figures darted out quickly from the forest, blocking Lingxu's path.
It could be seen that they were all wearing pale yellow clothing; these must be the natives of Sea God Island.
Lingxu naturally knew about the color of the clothing worn by the Spirit Masters on Sea God Island.
Sea Soul Masters on Sea God Island distinguish their ranks according to the color of their clothing; the color of the clothing is not based on their level of soul power.
Rather, it is based on the difficulty they faced when they underwent the Sea God's Trial; the higher the difficulty of the trial passed, the higher their status on Sea God Island.
The clothing colors also differ, from low to high, arranged exactly according to the colors of Spirit Rings.
These Sea Soul Masters in yellow robes before Lingxu were only one rank higher than those in white.
Above them were purple robes, black robes, and red robes.
On Sea God Island, the only person qualified to wear a red robe was the Grand Pontiff, who was also the Great Priest, Bo Saixi.
The number one powerhouse of Sea God Island, she possessed the Sea God martial soul and was the beloved of Qian Daoliu, yet her heart leaned toward Tang Chen.
"An outsider?" said one middle-aged woman, who appeared to be about forty years old.
Lingxu said: "Yes, I am a Land Spirit Master, here at Sea God Island to participate in the Sea God's Trial."
The people blocking Lingxu's path were all women; one middle-aged woman looked at Lingxu and said with a stern face: "Leave quickly, we do not welcome you on our Sea God Island."
"Although I do not know how you managed to board our Sea God Island, you should leave the way you came. Otherwise, do not blame us for being impolite."
Lingxu smiled and said: "Since I came to Sea God Island, I have already inquired clearly; outsiders are allowed to participate in the trials. Perhaps the standards for the trial are quite high, but I can come and try."
Knowing that Lingxu had come prepared, the middle-aged woman still seemed to look down on him, snorting coldly: "It is good for a young person to have courage, but if it is merely recklessness, it will cost you your life."
Lingxu said: "Please lead the way; if I die, that is my own choice."
Lingxu said this sentence decisively, his voice carrying a vibration infused with Mental Power, and the few of them looked at Lingxu in surprise.
"Fine, since you say you already understand Sea God Island well and do not care about life or death, then I will take you."
"I hope you do not regret it, follow me."
The middle-aged woman turned and left, and Lingxu immediately followed behind, maintaining a distance of three to five meters.
Passing through the dense forest, it was not long before Lingxu arrived in front of a pool of water.
Thinking of the scenes from Douluo, it seemed to be just like this, but only by being there in person could one discover the uniqueness of this place.
What should have been a very calm inland pool was actually surging like the ocean, moving without any wind.
The diameter of the pool was about five hundred meters, and in the very center of the pool, there was a triangular platform.
Standing upon it was a strange stone pillar.
The stone pillar was shaped like a sharp cone, with a special sculpture carved at the very top.
The entire body of the pillar was engraved with countless complex patterns, and an invisible and strange energy was radiating from this strange pillar.
Lingxu had extremely sharp eyesight and could clearly see a person sitting cross-legged at the base of the stone pillar.
This was actually a young girl; she had a huge fish tail, with beautiful curves extending all the way to her waist; her upper body wore a small black garment that did not even cover her navel.
At first, these women were somewhat arrogant, but upon arriving here, they appeared much more reserved, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Welcome to the Sea God's Sea, Sea Witch Sacred Pillar."
The middle-aged woman said in a special tone: "The Sea Witch Sacred Pillar is one of the Sea God's Seven Sacred Pillars."
"The Sea God bestowed divine power upon the Seven Holy Pillars to spread the will of the God through them; any one of the Sacred Pillars can conduct trials for outsider Spirit Masters. You will receive the subjects of the Sea God's Trial here."
After saying this, she turned toward the triangular platform in the Sea God's Sea and bowed ninety degrees in respectful salute.
Driven by her soul power, she projected her voice across; at this moment, this middle-aged woman almost subconsciously released her martial soul.
Two yellow, two purple, one black; she was already a Soul King.
"Reporting to Lady Sea Witch, an outsider Land Spirit Master has arrived to accept the trial, please grant permission."
Driven by soul power, the voice of the middle-aged woman in yellow traveled in a straight line, drowning out the sound of the surging waves within the Sea God's Sea.
The young girl sitting cross-legged under the Sea Witch Sacred Pillar suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of large sky-blue eyes.
These eyes were less like the ocean and more like the sky; her peerless face was so beautiful that when she looked at Lingxu in the distance, she actually revealed a faint smile.
"It has been a long time since an outsider Spirit Master came to accept the trial, very good, come over."
"However, you only have the qualification to accept the trial if you cross this Sea God's Sea and reach the front of the Sea Witch Sacred Pillar," the Sea Witch said softly, her voice melodious as if it possessed a kind of magic.
But for Lingxu, it had no effect at all.
"Cross this Sea God's Sea?"
This was the rule for outsiders accepting the trial, and Lingxu had to comply.
Lingxu took a step, then unfolded the wings on his back and flew across rapidly.
As soon as Lingxu entered the airspace above the Sea God's Sea, the water below began to stir, and countless Spirit Beasts leaped from the water to attack Lingxu.
But Lingxu's speed far exceeded the speed of their attacks; often, by the time an attack was launched, Lingxu was already in the next position, having flown out of the attack range.
Even when a water spout struck, Lingxu dodged it easily.
Arriving before the Sea Witch Sacred Pillar, Lingxu only used a few seconds.
Seeing Lingxu arrive so quickly, the Sea Witch revealed a smile on her face and nodded slightly.
Before this, she had encountered many outsider Spirit Masters, most of whom did not even have the qualification to participate in the assessment, meaning they could not cross this Sea God's Sea.
But in the next moment, the Sea Witch became somewhat unsettled.
Beside the young man before her eyes, nine people had appeared out of thin air, all of different ages.
"Cheating?" the Sea Witch asked suspiciously.
Lingxu responded: "This is not cheating; it wasn't said that I couldn't bring other people, only that I had to cross this Sea God's Sea."
╮(╯▽╰)╭
The Sea Witch did not know what to say; had she known the other party had so many people, she would not have said that.
"Fine, taking a shortcut, it counts as passed."
The good impression she originally had of Lingxu was now almost entirely gone.
However, Lingxu did not need Sea Witch to have a good impression of him; he was not here for a blind date.
As for this, Lingxu had actually explained the specific situation before coming.
After bringing the people out from the space, Lingxu also sent a voice transmission to the nine of them: from now on, everyone would have to rely on themselves.
"This is the Sea Witch Sacred Pillar, and she is also a Title Douluo," Lingxu said.
The nine were different from Lingxu; they turned and bowed to Sea Witch, saying, "Greetings, Lady Sea Witch."
Sea Witch ignored them; the necessary procedures still had to be followed. She was seen walking slowly to the front of the Sea Witch Sacred Pillar, facing the pillar, with a look of devout radiance in her eyes. "One of you, come forward."
Lingxu said, "This is to test the grade of your Sea God God Trial. Um... let's start with you, Feng Xiaotian."
Feng Xiaotian had relatively powerful talent here, so letting him go first would set a good precedent.
The next instant, Feng Xiaotian walked to the very front.
On the sea, he finally learned the content of this trial: participating in the Sea God God Trial, he was truly looking forward to it.
Feng Xiaotian stood still one step behind Sea Witch Douluo.
Sea Witch Douluo slowly raised both hands, her face full of piety, and brought her hands up to her chest.
As the sea-blue light gradually intensified, when the blue light filled the palms of Sea Witch Douluo, the radiance suddenly burst forth, causing the entire Sea Witch Sacred Pillar platform to be suffused with a clear blue glow.
Immediately after, a flash of light appeared at the base of the Sea Witch Sacred Pillar, and a blue light spread up along the patterns on the pillar, climbing to the top in the blink of an eye.
Sea Witch Douluo turned around to face Feng Xiaotian and pointed her right hand toward Feng Xiaotian's body.
A blue pillar of light descended from the sky, covering Feng Xiaotian's body. Because he was the first to go up, he was naturally still a bit nervous, but he controlled his body and mind while waiting for the result.
The next instant, the color of the light pillar began to change, turning from the initial blue to white, and it only stayed yellow for an instant before turning purple.
And this change in color showed no signs of stopping; the purple was changing rapidly, the color deepening, and before long it turned black.
The black light covered Feng Xiaotian, and on the Sea Witch Sacred Pillar behind Sea Witch Douluo, the lowest pattern also began to turn black, gradually climbing upward.
The black light patterns moved upward rapidly; in just ten breaths of time, the black light patterns had covered the entire Sea Witch Sacred Pillar.
Six beams of black light emanated from the Sea Witch Sacred Pillar, transforming into six square light screens in front of Feng Xiaotian.
On each of these light screens flickered some special golden characters that were impossible to understand.
Among them, the characters on the first light screen shone brightly, while the characters on the other five light screens were relatively much dimmer.
Sea Witch Douluo asked in confusion, "Black Grade Six Trials? That is two more trials than we had back then. Lord Sea God, is this your punishment for them cheating?"
