Chapter 167: Sea Horse Douluo Shocked, How Did You Do It So Quickly?_1

"Is it hard?"

Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

"Of course, it's difficult,"

the distant Sea Horse Douluo answered indifferently, "Let me put it this way, if you want to force your way through, even powerhouses at the level of Soul Sage and Soul Douluo might not necessarily succeed. As for you, even less so."

"What? Then do you even want us to get through and reach the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar?"

Upon hearing Sea Horse Douluo's explanation, Ning Rongrong immediately widened her eyes. One hand on her hip, she continued to inquire.

"Hehe, what's the matter, you now realize it's difficult?"

Seeing this, Sea Horse Douluo let out a cold laugh and said, "You don't need to despair. His Majesty, the Sea God, still left a glimmer of hope for the challengers. Using brute force, even Soul Sages and Soul Douluo might not pass, but if you have some skills, even Soul Ancestors and Soul Elders might be able to get pass the Sea Within the Sea to arrive beneath the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar."

So that's how it is...

The crowd showed a thoughtful expression.

Seeing that the group had fallen silent, Sea Horse Douluo asked in a deep voice, "Alright, who will go first? If none of you is ready, you can leave now and come back in a few years."

While speaking, he waved his hand impatiently, in a gesture of dismissal.

"No need to wait a few years."

At this moment, Qin Xiao spoke up, "It's just a small puddle, no need to make such a fuss."

"A small puddle, aren't you worried that the wind might be too strong and twist your tongue?"

"Hehe, truly, ignorance is bliss,"

After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Sea Horse Douluo couldn't hold back a laugh.

But then.

The next moment, he could no longer laugh.

All he saw was a blur before his eyes and a flash of blue light, and Qin Xiao, together with a few girls at his side, was already in front of Sea Horse Douluo, not far away.

That is to say, they had already passed the test of the Sea Within the Sea...

No.

To be exact, they had already passed before the Sea Within the Sea could pose a challenge.

"This, this..." Sea Horse Douluo's mentality collapsed.

To pass the test while the Sea Within the Sea was not paying attention?

This was just too bizarre, right?

Of course, what was even more supernatural was that not just one person had passed, but five people had passed together...

Sea Horse Douluo had been living on Sea God's Island for decades, yet had never seen such a thing before.

"So, do we pass the test?" Qin Xiao asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, you do,"

Sea Horse Douluo nodded somewhat blankly.

Still, he couldn't help but ask, "I want to know, how did you do it?"

For five people to appear in front of him in an instant was unbelievable to him.

Qin Xiao smiled, "Want to know?"

Sea Horse Douluo nodded vigorously, as he really hadn't seen clearly just what had happened when Qin Xiao led the group over.

"Then watch closely, I'll demonstrate it again for you."

As Qin Xiao's voice fell, Sea Horse Douluo saw a flash of lightning, gone in an instant.

So fast that he was utterly unable to react.

"Did you see clearly now?"

Qin Xiao asked again in front of Sea Horse Douluo.

"Uh..."

Sea Horse Douluo blankly nodded his head, then shook his head, somewhat uncertainly asking, "Has it started?"

Qin Xiao answered, "It's already over."

"Ah, this..."

Sea Horse Douluo opened his mouth, truly at a loss for words in response to Qin Xiao.

Too fast.

Qin Xiao was really too quick. Even with his Titled Douluo Level cultivation, he could not see Qin Xiao's movements clearly, which was quite preposterous.

"But I still can't understand..."

"Forget it." Qin Xiao waved his hand, no longer intending to explain, "We can talk about this another time if there's opportunity. Can we officially start the test now?"

This... Sea Horse Douluo's face went stiff momentarily, but he eventually nodded, "Who will go first?"

Ning Rongrong was the first to raise her hand, "Me! Me! Me!"

As if afraid that Sea Horse Douluo would not notice, she even jumped gently in place.

"Alright then." Sea Horse Douluo nodded slightly, and then gestured toward Dugu Yan next to Ning Rongrong, "You, come over here."

Ning Rongrong: "???"

Dugu Yan: "???"

"Why me?"

Dugu Yan pointed to herself, her face showing confusion.

"What, you're not willing?" Sea Horse Douluo furrowed his brows.

Without immediately responding to him, Dugu Yan looked over at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao gave a slight nod, "It's fine."

Seeing this, Dugu Yan nodded firmly and walked a few steps forward, arriving not far in front of Sea Horse Douluo.

Meanwhile, Sea Horse Douluo's expression changed.

His face was filled with reverence.

He held his hands opposite each other in the air before his chest. A faint blue light slowly appeared in the middle of the palms of his hands.

As time passed, with the blue light blossoming, the entire platform of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar was enveloped in a blue glow.

Then, a flash of light burst from beneath the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, with a streak of blue light climbing up the pillar's pattern. In a blink of an eye, it reached the top.

"What's going on here?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with a strange luster.

There was shock, confusion, anticipation...

It had to be said that this scene was quite magical for her.

But.

At that time, no one could answer her.

In fact, no one even heard her, as everyone was closely watching Sea Horse Douluo's movements.

Then they saw Sea Horse Douluo point his right hand toward Dugu Yan's body.

A blue column of light descended from the sky, enveloping Dugu Yan within it.

As everyone wondered what it felt like to be enveloped by the blue column of light, Dugu Yan appeared completely clueless.

To say, or not to say, she felt nothing.

But, this was only the beginning.

The color of the column began to change.
