Chapter 134: I'm Taking on the Best of the Best
The absorption of the second spirit ring on Ye Wen's Time Pearl went smoothly, and he now possessed a second revival slot. His level surged from 93 to 95, firmly establishing him in the ranks of true Titled Douluo. The Demon Eyed Tiger Whale King had also provided a left arm spirit bone.
"Spirit Bone Skills:
Demon Eyed Mirror of Destruction: An upgraded version of the Void Barrier, enhancing both defensive and offensive capabilities.
Demon Domain: Incites evil thoughts and disrupts concentration within its domain."
While these skills were fairly modest, Ye Wen felt that he'd already reached an invincible level within the current Douluo Continent.
On his way back, Ye Wen noticed Xiao Bai's teary face, which somehow softened his heart.
"Survival of the fittest. Your tribe's feud with the Demon Eyed Tiger Whales is now your own to settle. Without a 100,000 year Whale King to lead them, you have a good chance to weaken their numbers," he said, then hurried back to Sea God Island without another word.
Fighting with a child? Definitely not a task for a gentleman like me, he thought.
Xiao Bai seemed to contemplate his words before rushing back to her tribe in her Great White Shark form. The Demon Eyed Tiger Whales, even without their powerful king, were still formidable foes, far beyond her ability to singlehandedly defeat. With their larger size and strength, a 90,000 year whale alone could match her power. Clearly, it was time to rally the forces.
"Alright, everyone! The Demon Eyed Tiger Whales no longer have a king! Now's the time to settle our grudges take your revenge!" she rallied her tribe.
The waters soon ran crimson as the bloody war between the clans began.
"Sea God's Nine Trials, Fourth Trial Shark vs. Whale Battle: Completed. Reward: 10% Sea God Affinity and an increase in soul power by one level."
Ye Wen savored the jump in level; now he understood why Tang San's late stage "cheat code" in the original felt so exhilarating.
And now, it was time for the fifth trial: facing the combined strength of the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo.
Certainly, the Titled Douluo rank was revered among ordinary soul masters, and these Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo were even stronger, having undergone the rigorous Black Level Sea God Trials. The strongest among them, Sea Dragon Douluo, was at level 95, with the others ranging from level 94 and below.
However, they posed no real threat to Ye Wen, given his own unique skills.
When he returned to Sea God Island, the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo were already waiting at the harbor, anticipating his arrival with a formation in place. Poseidon must be eager to see me embarrassed, he thought, but there was no way he would let that happen. With a grin, he greeted the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo.
"Ready, gentlemen?"
They wasted no time answering and summoned their spirits and spirit rings, filling the area with a radiant glow. Sea Dragon Douluo took the lead, calling out, "Forgive us for this offense, Ye Wen!"
As soon as he spoke, a barrage of attacks flooded toward Ye Wen with intensity that would severely wound any average Super Douluo. Yet Ye Wen stood his ground, unmoved, allowing their combined assault to come to him.
"Fourth Spirit Skill Realm of Void."
As the saying goes, no matter how fierce an attack, it's meaningless if it doesn't land.
"Seventh Spirit Skill Domain Unleashed: Supreme Overlord!"
In seconds, Ye Wen completed his ring fusion and domain activation, enveloping the entire battlefield in a world under his absolute control.
"Gentlemen, would you prefer to surrender willingly or wait until I make you?" he asked with a slight smile.
The Seven Douluo's expressions turned grim; they were all too familiar with the power of such a formidable domain. But as the backbone of Sea God Island, surrender wasn't an option.
Ye Wen, mindful that these would eventually be his allies, refrained from using his full strength. He unleashed a spatial tremor, lightly injuring them just enough to topple them.
Bruised and down, Sea Dragon Douluo coughed, wiping blood from his lips as he chuckled with self deprecation, "The Sea God's chosen heir is truly qualified."
With a smile, Ye Wen treated their injuries, knowing the spatial tremor he used could leave lingering wounds without prompt attention.
"Sea God's Nine Trials, Fifth Trial Dominating the Seven Sacred Pillars: Completed. Reward: 15% Sea God Affinity, increase in soul power by one level, and a 20,000 year boost to all spirit rings."
He couldn't help but chuckle at Poseidon's generosity; this was a god with resources! Unlike the stingy Asura God on the other side…
With his level now at 97, Ye Wen was brushing the ceiling of the Douluo Continent's power. However, he noted the drawback of such rapid progress he lacked the mastery that would come from the dedicated, gradual cultivation that others relied on to reach this level. But the speed of his ascension was worth the trade off, and he could always catch up with mastery later.
A new trial soon loomed:
"Sea God's Nine Trials, Sixth Trial Command the Sea God Island: Defeat Sea God Island's High Priestess, Bo Saixi."
Ye Wen's eyes widened. The famous "Invincible of the Seas," Bo Saixi, stood before him as his next challenge. He was confident he could hold his own, but this trial would surely push him into a true confrontation with her.
"This should be interesting. Tell me, Bo Saixi, when we fight, will you hold back? Or will you try your hardest, perhaps even accidentally killing me?" Ye Wen thought to himself, grinning.
Now his power was truly a shield.
Meanwhile, in the Sea God Temple, Bo Saixi had received Poseidon's command. Her expression was clouded with conflicted emotions. In a matter of days, Ye Wen had advanced to the Sixth Trial, and her time for indecision had run out. She was torn how much of her heart was truly left for Tang Chen? Did she still need to keep waiting?
"Perhaps facing the future Sea God will bring me the answers I seek," she thought, her resolve hardening as she awaited Ye Wen's challenge.
However, two god level trials in one day had left Ye Wen feeling drained. And Bo Saixi was a Level 99 Titled Douluo. Ye Wen had no doubt she had access to godly power, and he knew the trial didn't require either of them to hold back.
Rest, then rise to face her tomorrow.
