Chapter 105

"Seventh trial of the Nine Evil Trials complete, reward 20% affinity with the God of Evil, currently totaling 90%."

"Eighth trial of the Nine Evil Trials, Perfecting the Self: Raise soul power cultivation to the nine-ring level, complete all six major soul bones, and kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King! Time limit: one year."

Two notification sounds rang in his mind, the scene before Ye Ming began to shatter, and in an instant, he returned to the Sea God Hall.

Tang San was still holding the Sea God Trident, keeping watch in the Sea God Hall with Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi.

The moment Ye Ming's figure appeared, Tang San rushed over, asking excitedly: "Brother, how was it, did you pass the assessment?"

Ye Ming nodded slightly, a look of joy appearing on his face.

"Good!" Tang San was full of excitement, "I knew you could do it!"

Ning Rongrong, who was to the side, also walked over with Xiao Wu, her face full of excitement.

"Third Brother, what is your eighth trial?" Ye Ming asked again.

Tang San checked the information in his mind and responded: "Cultivate the martial soul to the nine-ring level, collect all soul bones, resurrect the assessment companion, Xiao Wu. Accompany you to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Time limit: two years."

"Only after completing the eighth trial can you return to the Sea God Hall to accept the final assessment."

After saying this, Tang San himself couldn't help but have tears in his eyes; nine rings, he was getting closer and closer to nine rings, and he could finally resurrect Xiao Wu.

This had nothing to do with the Nine Sea God Trials; this was the thing he most hoped to do!

Ye Ming nodded slightly, thinking to himself that it seemed because of him, Tang San's assessment had also undergone some changes.

"Our assessments are similar." He said in a low voice: "It seems we have to leave Sea God Island."

Tang San was slightly stunned, and his mind reacted as well.

Yes, on the current Sea God Island, there was nothing left that could allow them to rapidly improve their strength.

Whether it was completing the soul bones or killing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, neither could be achieved by cultivating peacefully on Sea God Island.

In over two years, their respective strengths had improved quite a bit. It was indeed time to leave Sea God Island and go back to take a look! Tang San frowned slightly and whispered: "Brother, Senior Bo Saixi..."

"It's fine, I'll go talk to her." Ye Ming patted Tang San on the shoulder and walked toward Bo Saixi.

"You want to leave, right?" Seeing Ye Ming walk over, Bo Saixi spoke first.

"You all shoulder great responsibilities; Sea God Island cannot keep you."

Bo Saixi's gaze was deep, "You can leave Sea God Island at any time; Xiao Bai and the others will escort you for a part of the way."

Ye Ming nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, Senior!"

Bo Saixi nodded and beckoned to Tang San. After Tang San walked closer, she said frankly: "I am already clear about your eighth assessment; if you resurrect Xiao Wu, you cannot break through to nine rings, which means this trial will fail!"

Tang San was slightly stunned, a look of panic flashing across his face.

Yes, resurrecting Xiao Wu required the sacrifice of his own cultivation, dropping ten levels permanently, to strip away the soul ring and soul bone Xiao Wu sacrificed, in order to resurrect her.

This meant he could no longer break through to nine rings, and naturally, he could not complete this eighth trial.

"So, have you decided to resurrect Xiao Wu, or complete the eighth trial?" Bo Saixi's voice gradually turned cold, and the pressure of her level ninety-nine Title Douluo was released in the hall.

However, this pressure had no effect on Ye Ming; he slowly blocked Ning Rongrong, taking her back a few steps.

He naturally saw Bo Saixi's intention and was quite happy about it, so he naturally would not choose to intervene.

"Brother Ye Ming?" Ning Rongrong looked at him with a puzzled expression, somewhat confused.

They were partners; if Tang San and Bo Saixi fell out now, even if it cost their lives, they would have to fight!

Ye Ming just shook his head at her, his lips parted slightly, forming the words "a test."

Ning Rongrong understood instantly, and then she and Ye Ming quietly retreated to the side.

Tang San felt the change in Bo Saixi's attitude, his fingers gripping the Sea God Trident tightened, and his gaze gradually became cold.

"You have paid a huge price to reach this step today; do you want to become a deity, or resurrect Xiao Wu!" Bo Saixi asked coldly: "This will be the only chance in your life."

"After resurrecting Xiao Wu, for the rest of your life, you will only be a Soul Douluo. Even if you have a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, without reaching level ninety or above, you will never reach my realm, let alone surpass me!"

Tang San's breathing became rapid, and he glared at Bo Saixi, "You don't need to say anymore!"

"For me, there is nothing more important than resurrecting Xiao Wu right now! Even if I cannot become a god, cannot reach Title Douluo, even if I lose my life for it, I will not regret it!"

"However, I should still thank Lord Sea God for his generosity, allowing Xiao Wu and me to be together for so long. Even if there are only two years left for this eighth trial, I am willing to stay with Xiao Wu forever!"

Bo Saixi's gaze met Tang San's; what she saw was the persistent look in Tang San's eyes.

Suddenly, Bo Saixi smiled, "You pass."

Tang San was stunned for a moment; he glanced at Ye Ming and Ning Rongrong, who had already retreated to the side, then suddenly turned his head to look at Bo Saixi, understanding everything in his heart.

"Xiao Wu's choice was not wrong; you are very good!" A smile appeared on Bo Saixi's face, "I won't keep you guessing anymore." "You have actually entered a misunderstanding; you don't need to pay such a huge price to resurrect Xiao Wu now."

"Ah?" Tang San was stunned and asked eagerly: "Senior, why?"

"A Soul Master breaking through level ninety has already surpassed ordinary humans. Only then can they pay the price of lowering their own soul power by ten levels to remove one of the four limb soul bones, excluding the head and torso soul bones." Bo Saixi explained: "This will lead to soul power leakage, severe damage to vitality, and lifelong cultivation will not be able to advance."

"But your situation is very special and cannot be judged by common sense."

"Resurrecting Xiao Wu actually does not require all your soul rings. Xiao Wu sacrificed to you, concentrating her essence into the soul ring and soul bone; to resurrect her, you need to return these to her."

"If you give her all your soul rings, you will actually harm her."

Bo Saixi continued: "Your current eight soul rings, four of which are hundred-thousand-year level, Xiao Wu was only level sixty when she sacrificed to you. If you transfer them all to her, there are only two possibilities: one is wasted soul power, and the other is death by explosion!"

Hearing Bo Saixi's words and imagining such a scene, his heart was full of fear.

"Then how can I properly resurrect Xiao Wu?" He asked eagerly.

"I have carefully examined Xiao Wu's body these past few days; based on her situation, when you resurrect her, you only need to input the first four soul rings into her body, then skip the fifth soul ring, and give her the sixth soul ring that originally belonged to her, and that will be enough!"

Bo Saixi explained: "Your fifth soul ring is connected to your bloodline; once stripped, you might even die!"

"You don't need to fear anything! In fact, with the effect of the Sea God's Light, even if you return the sixth soul ring to her now, it is enough to resurrect her."

"Your Sea God affinity has already exceeded 80%; the Sea God's Light will gain an additional ability, which is healing!"

"By the same token, after you give her the soul bone that originally belonged to her, immediately find a corresponding soul bone to replace it; with the uniqueness of the Sea God's Light, it is enough to compensate for the injuries in your body!"

"In this way, it will not affect your future cultivation."

Tang San carefully considered every word Bo Saixi said; since it concerned Xiao Wu's resurrection, he absolutely could not be careless. After careful consideration, he could be certain that what Bo Saixi said was reasonable.

Even if a problem arose, it would only be a problem with himself and would not affect Xiao Wu's resurrection.

After figuring it out, Tang San said gratefully to Bo Saixi: "Thank you for your fulfillment, Senior."

Bo Saixi shook her head slightly, with a smile on her face, "You don't need to thank me; I am also doing this for you, the future Lord Sea God, so that you can truly complete the Sea God inheritance."

"Remember, after your soul ring is stripped, you must find a soul ring of the same type from a soul beast as soon as possible to attach to it. The higher the age, the greater the benefit to you."

After saying this, she waved her hand slightly, "You may go."

Tang San suppressed the excitement in his heart, and after saying goodbye to Bo Saixi, he and Ye Ming and the others exited the Sea God Hall.

As soon as they left the hall, Dai Mubai and the others greeted them.

After some pleasantries, Tang San said excitedly to everyone: "Brothers, I have discussed it with Brother Ye Ming, and we have decided to leave Sea God Island immediately and return to the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"I now have the ability to resurrect Xiao Wu, and I want to resurrect her under the witness of my father, mother, and all my brothers and sisters!"

"The moment Xiao Wu is resurrected will be the time our wedding is held!"

Hearing this, Dai Mubai and the others' eyes were full of gratification, and Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other girls even cried until their eyes were red.

"San, well done!" Dai Mubai patted Tang San on the shoulder heavily, "You're a man!"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun also came over, saying excitedly.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the first wedding wine we would drink would be Third Brother's!"

"I can hardly wait!"

Oscar was full of excitement, "Finally waited for this moment!"

Ye Ming also had a smile on his face, nodding with emotion: "Yes, it's been over two years."

"Finally waited for this moment!"

"I can hardly wait either!"

Tang San looked at everyone, his eyes also full of emotion. He held the Sea God Trident, came to Ye Ming, and said earnestly:

"Brother, I know these words are a bit sentimental, but I still have to say them."

"Thank you for bringing us to Sea God Island, allowing our strength to improve as quickly as possible. And also giving me the ability to resurrect Xiao Wu!"

"From now on, my life, Tang San's, is yours!"

Ye Ming smiled slightly and patted Tang San on the shoulder.

"Third Brother, you're being distant by saying these things to me!"

"We are close friends and brothers, after all!"
