Chapter 345: Training

"The Fifth Trial of the Sea God Nine Trials, challenge. Pillar Guardian. Challenge the Sea Spear, Sea Illusion, and Hailong Douluo Douluo Pillar Guardians one by one. Within twenty-four hours. Complete all challenges. Defeating three Pillar Guardians counts as passing."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice rang out.

"Mine are Hailong Douluo Douluo, Sea Horse, and Sea Maiden," Dugu Yan also said.

Twenty-four hours, that is two days. Everyone said almost in unison: "Defeat three Title Douluo within two days?"

Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing nodded in unison; although they were very confident in their own strength, it was quite difficult to defeat three Title Douluo within two days.

"Your trials are all so high, wouldn't Lingling's be even harder?" Yu Feng gasped.

Shi Quan spoke up: "If there are no surprises, Lingling's Fifth Trial should be to defeat seven Pillar Guardians within a fixed time."

"That's seven Title Douluo," everyone could not help but exclaim.

"If you need it, I can help you," Xiaobai's voice came.

"Help?" Everyone looked at Xiaobai in confusion. Zhu Zhuqing was the first to react, "Xiaobai, do you mean conducting actual combat training with us like in the Second Trial?"

Xiaobai nodded and said: "The same, yet different. During the Second Trial, I was restricted by the trial and could not attack you at will, but now I can freely control my abilities. Besides, you should have no experience fighting Sea Douluo. As a Sea Soul Beast, I can simulate the abilities of a Sea Soul Master, which should be of great help to you."

The two women's eyes lit up immediately, and they said happily: "That would be great, we thank you in advance."

Xiaobai smiled and said: "These are just small matters, far from what you have helped me with."

Soon half a day passed, and Ye Lingling also woke up from absorbing the Soul Ring, her soul power level having risen from eighty-four to eighty-seven.

Before absorbing the sixth Soul Ring, her soul power level had already approached eighty-five.

This Ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring increased her soul power by more than two levels.

Just as Shi Quan said, Ye Lingling's Fifth Trial was to defeat the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo within three days.

With Ye Lingling's Soul Ring absorption successful, the group did not delay too long on the sea surface; riding on the backs of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, they set off to return, facing the sunset in the west.

Two hours later, deep in the night, the group returned to Sea God Island.

Xiaobai took her clansmen back to her territory, while Shi Quan and the others returned to their residence in Sea Horse City.

After a busy day, it was getting late, and there was no idle chatter, so after returning, everyone went back to their rooms to rest; if there were matters, they would continue to discuss them tomorrow.

Returning to the bedroom, with Shi Quan's assistance, Ye Lingling began to absorb the God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

It was not until the sky was just beginning to brighten the next day that Ye Lingling finally woke up and successfully absorbed the God-Bestowed Soul Ring, her soul power level reaching eighty-nine in one go!

The age of the God-Bestowed Soul Ring was not simply one hundred thousand years, but exceeded two hundred thousand years.

The energy accumulated within Ye Lingling's body reached an astonishing level.

After a simple tidy-up and finishing breakfast, everyone gathered in the living room again.

Shi Quan took out the Whale Glue, totaling one hundred and eight pieces.

The lowest was also over five thousand years.

This Whale Glue had significant benefits for everyone.

Although Whale Glue is special, its effect weakens if eaten too much, and there are certain requirements for the user's physical strength when consuming Whale Glue; if it is too weak, it will only be a waste of the Whale Glue's medicinal power as the body cannot handle the supplement.

Fortunately, everyone's physical strength had improved significantly during the Third Trial, so this problem did not need to be worried about too much.

Based on the number of Demon Great White Sharks killed in the Fourth Trial and their physical strength, Shi Quan quickly distributed the Whale Glue to everyone.

Shi Quan looked at Yu Feng, the Shi brothers, and Ma Hongjun.

The trials of the four of them had already been completed, but they could not leave Sea God Island now.

"Yu Feng, if you want to leave Sea God Island, you might have to wait until Lingling completes her Seventh or Eighth Trial."

Yu Feng put his arms around the shoulders of the two Shi brothers and said: "It's all a small problem. Anyway, it's cultivation wherever we are. We have been on Sea God Island for so long and haven't properly toured it. Now that the trials are over, we discussed it and plan to take this time to properly tour Sea God Island, and while cultivating, properly experience the local customs of Sea God Island."

"What about you, Pangzi?" Shi Quan looked at Ma Hongjun.

After a slight silence, Ma Hongjun said: "I plan to stay in Sea Horse City to cultivate."

"You aren't going out to tour with Yu Feng and the others?"

"They invited me, but I thought about it and decided against it," Ma Hongjun shook his head.

Shi Quan looked at Ma Hongjun thoughtfully and said: "Cultivation still requires a balance of work and rest. If you ever feel that your cultivation speed has slowed down, then go out for a walk and look around; it will also be beneficial to your cultivation."

"I understand," Ma Hongjun nodded.

"Then let's head to the coast, Xiaobai is still waiting for you," Shi Quan looked at Ye Lingling and the others.

The group split into two parties.

Yu Feng, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo began their tour of Sea God Island.

Shi Quan followed Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, his parents, as well as Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun to the beach.

As soon as they arrived, Xiaobai's head surfaced from the sea; it looked like she had been waiting for a while.

"Let's start directly, who is coming first?" Xiaobai's voice came from the sea.

It was just training, so there was no need for modesty. Ye Lingling walked to the front straightforwardly and kicked off the battle with Xiaobai.

On the other side, Shi Quan's parents also started a battle with the Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

This was the parents' Fourth Trial. Both of them did not have strong combat experience, and this Fourth Trial not only tested their individual strength but was also a good opportunity for actual combat training.

The Demon Soul Great White Sharks they were fighting were all around fifty thousand years old, with astonishing strength, and since they were in the ocean, both of their strengths were significantly affected. In their first challenge, they were quickly defeated.

However, this did not affect anything; after all, they had a full year for their trial. As long as they defeated the fifty-thousand-year Sea Soul Beast within this year, it would count as a pass. Although difficult, it was not impossible for the two of them.

To facilitate training, for the days that followed, everyone built some simple tents and lived directly on the beach.

Ma Hongjun was the same, and besides meditation and cultivation, he also knew that actual combat was one of the best ways to cultivate. So, from time to time, he would take the initiative to have Xiaobai arrange for some clansmen to fight him, thereby further exercising his abilities.

In terms of diligence, Ma Hongjun was not weaker than anyone present. Now he was completely different from the original version.
