Silence.

 Deathly silence.

  "Ahem..."

  In the end, it was Seahorse Douluo who was the first to react.

 His old face turned blue and white, and he was so embarrassed that he could dig out a Poseidon Temple on the beach with his toes.

  He just vowed that his coercion would be "very exquisitely controlled." What was the result?

  There is no need for him to "show mercy".

  The ice blue eyes of Xiaobai, the king of the great white sharks, were also filled with confusion.

  She stared at Xiao Wu, trying to see through this little girl.

 She felt it most clearly in the sea, the supreme aura that came from the depths of her blood and made her want to surrender.

 That is... the breath of Lord Poseidon!

 In this strange atmosphere, sudden changes occurred.

     

   The entire circular sea lit up without warning.

  一道璀璨的金色光柱冲天而起,在半空中凝聚成一行大字:

  【第二考,突破环形封锁,通过。 If you pass by trickery, the reward will be halved. For those who pass the Ninth Poseidon Test, their Poseidon affinity will be increased by 5%, and the total affinity will be 45%. Rewards one level of soul power. 】

  The light flashed, and a golden light sank into Xiao Wu's body.

  Immediately afterwards, the light of the black-level sixth test and the top-level seventh test belonging to Yang Bubai and Shui Bing'er also lit up one after another, and the light dropped, rewarding them with first-level soul power.

 Rewards halved?

 Everyone looked at this line of writing with even weirder expressions.

 This judgment is quite smart, knowing that they are "taking advantage of others". But even the halved reward is enough to drive any soul master on the continent crazy.

  Xiao Wu closed her eyes and carefully felt the changes in her body.

 A warm current surged through his limbs and bones, and the bottleneck of his soul power was shattered.

 Level sixty-nine...level seventy!

  A powerful wave of soul power suddenly erupted with her as the center, and the air waves surged, making everyone's clothes rustle.

 Even though there is only one level of difference between Soul Emperor and Soul Saint, they are worlds apart.

 However, this is not over yet.

The moment Xiao Wu's soul power steadily stepped into the threshold of level seventy, her whole aura rose again.

 Behind the scene, circles of soul rings appeared automatically, yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, and red, and the six soul rings shone brightly.

  Immediately afterwards, a new halo began to condense next to the sixth hundred thousand year old soul ring, which was as scarlet as blood.

 That light was just a faint red light at first, but soon it became deeper and deeper, more and more intense, and finally turned into a heart-stopping blood color that was the same as the sixth soul ring!

 The seventh soul ring, one hundred thousand years!

 Furthermore, this was not obtained by hunting the soul beast, but as a hundred thousand year soul beast that she had rebuilt, and after her soul power broke through the 70th level, it was formed by relying on her own foundation!

At this moment, the entire Poseidon Island seemed to be shaken.

  Endless breath of life gathered from all directions and poured into Xiao Wu's body, nourishing her newly condensed soul ring and breakthrough cultivation level.

  "Have...condensed a hundred thousand year soul ring on your own?"

  Seahorse Douluo's eyes almost popped out, and his voice was trembling.

 Xiaobai also looked shocked, she murmured to herself: "So that's it..."

 After a long time, the light dissipated.

 Xiao Wu opened her eyes, and two rays of light flashed away.

 At this moment, the light on the holy pillar changed again, revealing new writing.

  【Nine Tests of Poseidon, Third Test: Tidal Body Refining. He has to stand on the Sinking Silver Pillar and withstand the impact of raging waves for twelve hours every day. Time limit, one year. 】

  Tide body refining?

 Everyone was still recalling the shock of Xiao Wu's breakthrough, and they were all a little confused when they saw the new test content.

  "Haha..."

  A burst of meaningful laughter came.

 Everyone turned around and saw that Seahorse Douluo had regained his composure, with a strange smile on his face that said, "Let me see what you do this time."

  He cleared his throat and stepped forward, his posture regaining some of the majesty of the guardian of the sacred pillar.

  "Everyone, congratulations on passing the second exam."

 He was polite at first, then changed the topic and pointed to the depths of the island.

 "The venue for the third test is over there. Do you need me to lead you now?"

 His tone sounded very "enthusiastic", but the playfulness in his eyes could not be hidden.

   Ning Liu raised his eyebrows and saw the other party's little thoughts, but did not point it out. He just smiled and said:

  "Then I'm sorry, sir."

  "Easy to say, easy to say."

   />
 Seima Douluo seemed to be waiting for these words, and immediately turned around and led the way cheerfully, "Everyone, please follow me."

 The group of people followed him, passing through a dense forest, and the terrain gradually climbed higher.

Before we even saw our destination, a majestic puff of water vapor hit us, accompanied by deafening roars, as if there were thousands of troops galloping and roaring ahead.

 The ground beneath his feet was trembling rhythmically with the roar.

  The relaxed expressions on everyone's faces gradually faded away, replaced by a look of solemnity.

 When they followed Seahorse Douluo around the last reef and the scene ahead suddenly became clear, everyone was completely stunned.

 It is a canyon surrounded by giant rocks. The end of the canyon is connected to the endless blue sea.

 At this moment, the sea is "angry".

Huge waves hundreds of meters high, like a wall of water towering over the sky, wave after wave, endlessly crashing towards the canyon.

 Every huge wave hitting the cliffs on both sides of the canyon would erupt with an earth-shattering noise, and the whole world seemed to lose its voice at this moment.

 In the midst of the raging waves, silver pillars made of unknown metal stood stubbornly.

  They swayed slightly under the pounding of huge waves, but never fell, shining with a cold metallic luster.

 This is...Tidal Body Refining?

 In front of this destructive force of nature, human power seems so insignificant.

 Let alone staying on it for twelve hours, I'm afraid a wave will turn people into a pulp.

Zhu Zhuqing and others suddenly turned pale.

  "Hey."

  Haima Douluo felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart when he saw everyone's shocked expressions.

 Hands behind his back, he slowly walked up to Ning Liu, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, with a sly smile:

 "Sect Master Ning, have you seen it?"

 He raised his chin and pointed at the violent waves.

   "Now, I can't bribe the examiner."

   "After all, the examiner this time is... the sea!"
