239: Life-saving Grace

  Just two months after Yang Xiong and his group arrived at the Sea God Island, their strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

  Even Yang Xiong couldn't help but marvel at the talents of Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu. Although the magic grass could make them more talented, it could not improve their innate temperament and comprehension.

  Feng Xiaotian is indeed a genius with innate full soul power. Not only does he have a very strong ability to adapt, he quickly mastered the method of practicing in the light of the Sea God, and even surpassed others by far.

  Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er were not far behind. The two girls seemed to be competing with each other. They kept changing the steps of their practice and adapting to the higher steps at a very fast speed.

  Huo Wu's original martial soul was originally within Yang Xiong's expectations, but Shui Bing'er showed her terrifying talent, especially the Ice Phoenix martial soul, which seemed to be extremely suitable for Poseidon Island. Especially under the illumination of Poseidon's light, the Ice Phoenix seemed to have grown to a certain extent.

  Every time Yang Xiong fought against Shui Bing'er, he always felt that her ice attribute seemed to be gradually getting stronger, thereby enhancing her physical fitness to a certain extent.

  Sure enough, after two months, Shui Bing'er improved her soul power by one level, reaching level 60. She was also the first one among all the people present to reach the bottleneck, not even Tang San and his group.

  On the day Shui Bing'er broke through to level 60, a figure fell from the sky.

  This person was wearing a red robe and holding a scepter in his hand. He not only had a beautiful appearance and a great figure, but his whole body was flawless, as if he were a god.

  The purple-robed deacon at the scene saluted quickly: "Greetings to the Great Priest."

  Yang Xiong and others also saluted quickly: "Greetings to Poseidon Douluo."

  The person who came was Poseidon, one of the three ultimate Douluos in the world, and even the strongest among the three ultimate Douluos.

  Poseidon nodded lightly: "No need to be polite, my name is Poseidon, also known as Poseidon Douluo."

  Poseidon glanced at everyone present: "You are very good. Although you are land spirit masters, you have excellent qualifications. Four of you even passed the red-level assessment. You are my heirs and the hope of Poseidon Island. I hope you will practice hard and meet the expectations of Lord Poseidon as soon as possible."

  Facing Poseidon, even the extremely arrogant Dai Mubai and Feng Xiaotian seemed extremely respectful at this moment. In this world, the strong are respected, and Poseidon is the strongest in Douluo Continent.

  There seemed to be no expression on Poseidon's face, as if he was a god who could not be desecrated.

  "I came here for this little girl. According to the rules of Poseidon Island, Lord Poseidon will bestow a God-given soul ring on all black-level examinees when they encounter a bottleneck for the first time."

  Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what a God-given soul ring was, and had never even heard of it.

  And Poseidon continued to explain: "The God-given soul ring does not require hunting soul beasts. It will give you the soul skills you need most and the highest level soul ring you can bear. Each of you will have a chance from now on. I hope you will use your greatest perseverance to bear the baptism of the God-given soul ring, which may bring you unimaginable benefits."

  As Poseidon's voice fell, a golden ball appeared in his hand. The whole ball looked very dazzling, and the inside of the ball seemed to be surging.

  Under the guidance of Poseidon, the God-given soul ring quickly came to Shui Bing'er. With a finger from Poseidon, the God-given soul ring directly split open, and a rich golden aura enveloped Shui Bing'er's body.

  Although Shui Bing'er was a little confused, she quickly sat down cross-legged and summoned her martial soul and soul ring at the same time.

  I saw the golden light enveloped Shui Bing'er, and countless golden auras quickly poured into Shui Bing'er's body. Shui Bing'er's face seemed to become extremely painful, even as if she was on the verge of collapse.

  But at this moment, Shui Bing'er showed resilience far beyond that of ordinary people. The huge ice phoenix made a cry, showing her indomitable spirit and tenacity.

  After several hours, the golden light on Shui Bing'er's body gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a black soul ring. The Ice Phoenix made a phoenix cry again, and Shui Bing'er's whole body was like frost, and even the area dozens of meters around her seemed to be frozen.

  When Shui Bing'er opened her eyes again, her face was full of joy. It was obvious that this God-given soul ring had greatly improved her, and was even very good for her martial soul.

  Shui Bing'er quickly saluted to Poseidon: "Thank you for your help, senior."

  Poseidon nodded slightly: "As a candidate for the red level seven test, your test is more difficult than others, so I hope you will not forget your original intention and reach a higher level of soul master as soon as possible."

  After saying that, Poseidon left this place directly and walked towards the Temple of Poseidon step by step.

  Several girls quickly surrounded Shui Bing'er, seeming to be carefully feeling the changes in her, and at the same time they were all very envious.

  ...

  The second person to break through the bottleneck was Huo Wu. Just one month after Shui Bing'er's breakthrough, Huo Wu broke through to level 60.

  Under the light of the Seagod, the original martial spirit showed extremely strong resilience, and Huo Wu herself seemed to be working extremely hard, and her original martial spirit also showed extremely strong resilience.

  After Huo Wu also absorbed a divine soul ring, her soul power became basically the same as Shui Bing'er's.

  The two little girls seemed to be in a state of competition with each other. Not only were their training speeds comparable, but every time Shui Bing'er broke through a level, Huo Wu would only take a month at most to break through.     Even Yang Xiong felt a little surprised. Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix seemed to be even stronger than he had imagined. Especially, her sensitivity to the Light of the Sea God was stronger than that of anyone else.

  Time flies, and soon eight months have passed.

  In other words, Yang Xiong and his companions have been on Poseidon Island for a full eleven months.

  During these eleven months, Yang Xiong's soul power increased by five levels and has reached the bottleneck of level eighty.

  However, when facing Poseidon, Yang Xiong directly asked Poseidon: "Senior, can I not absorb the God-given soul ring yet? I want to absorb it when my physical fitness becomes stronger."

  Poseidon's face changed slightly. She knew very well how strong Yang Xiong's physical fitness was. This eighth soul ring could definitely reach the level of one hundred thousand years. And according to what Yang Xiong said, he probably also knew the content of the next few tests on Poseidon Island.

  Finally, Poseidon nodded and said, "Okay. Lord Poseidon has ordered that your God-given soul ring can be absorbed at any time and is not restricted by time."

  However, when Poseidon left, there seemed to be a hint of deep meaning in his eyes when he looked at Yang Xiong.

  As for Tang San and his group, after a full year of training under the light of the Seagod, everyone has made significant improvements.

  In terms of soul power level alone, each person's soul power increased by about six levels on average.

  Among them, Tang San advanced from level 63 to level 69, which was a full six levels of soul power increase, but he still did not fall into a bottleneck.

  Xiao Wu also increased her soul power by six levels, reaching level sixty-eight.

  Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan reached their own bottlenecks, and all of them reached level 60 in spirit power during this period of time.

  Among them, after Dai Mubai absorbed the divine soul ring, his soul power reached level 64, Yu Tianheng reached level 63, and Dugu Yan reached level 61.

  However, Zhu Zhuqing did not reach the bottleneck, and her soul power level increased to level fifty-nine.

  But for them, the biggest problem is not the improvement of soul power and the god-given soul ring, but the problem of assessment.

  Even though their soul power and physical fitness have greatly improved during this year, the assessment is still very difficult for them, especially for Zhu Zhuqing, the Soul King. With her own strength, there is no way she can pass the assessment of the Light of the Sea God.

  Fortunately, Oscar and Ning Rongrong also came to Poseidon Island. With their assistance, it was possible to complete the assessment.

  Tang San and Xiao Wu passed the assessment based on their own strength. Not only did they have outstanding physical fitness, but they also had great comprehension. They tried their best and barely passed the first level of the Seagod assessment.

  The other four people are all in the fourth black level test. It is basically impossible for them to pass the ninety-eight steps by their own strength.

  But with the help of Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, and with each of them carrying Oscar's Super Recovery Sausage and Hyperactive Pink Sausage, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were able to pass the test.

  As for Zhu Zhuqing, she was the most troublesome among all. For this reason, in addition to the super recovery sausage and the excited pink sausage, Oscar specially used his fifth soul skill to make a dark green sausage that exceeded the limit. With Ning Rongrong's full support, Zhu Zhuqing passed the test.

  After receiving help from Oscar and Ning Rongrong, the four were extremely grateful to them, especially the sisters, who seemed to have a closer relationship with Ning Rongrong.

  Even Dai Mubai, who had always had some issues with Ning Rongrong, expressed his sincere gratitude.

  If it weren't for Ning Rongrong and Oscar, these four people would probably have died, and they would naturally be unable to repay the life-saving grace.

  Yang Xiong also met Ma Hongjun several times during this year. Ma Hongjun only obtained the third test of purple level, which was relatively simple.

  Ma Hongjun spends more time living in Seahorse City and is now a deacon under Seahorse Douluo.

  It seems that Poseidon Island does not reject fire-attribute soul masters. With the help of Seahorse Douluo and others, they helped Ma Hongjun obtain a fire-attribute soul ring in a volcano on the sea.

  Especially Ma Hongjun's evil fire, which was suppressed to a certain extent on Poseidon Island, and he became a lot thinner.

  Dai Mubai also thanked Yang Xiong individually. If Yang Xiong hadn't brought Oscar and Ning Rongrong with him, they would have all died.

  Dai Mubai even joked that if one day in the future he had enough of traveling outside and did not want to return to the cold Xingluo Empire, he might want to join Yang Xiong and join the Body Sect, and then reserve the position of elder for him and Zhu Zhuqing.

  Yang Xiong: ...
