"Pfft!" Little White, carrying Xu Sheng, burst forth from the sea, trailing huge waves behind...
After Xu Sheng dismounted from its back, Little White's childish voice slowly said, "That... that..."
Xu Sheng, hearing this, knew what it wanted to ask. He gently stroked Little White's head and smiled faintly, "Alright, go back now! When I'm about to become a god, I will come back for you!"
Reassured by Xu Sheng's promise, Little White nodded, then moved its massive body and dove back into the waters...
Already waiting there, the four Purple-Garbed Soul Masters each held a towel, a drink, and a fan and approached...
Before Xu Sheng could speak, the White-Garbed Soul Master picked up the fan and began fanning...
The Purple-Garbed Soul Masters, seeing Xu Sheng completely soaked, quickly handed over a clean and dry towel, fawningly saying, "My lord! Where have you been? You're completely drenched!"
A flicker of surprise crossed Xu Sheng's eyes. What's the deal with these three, offering their services for no reason?
They even brought towels, fans, and drinks—fully prepared, indeed!
And by the looks of it, they must have been waiting for a while.
Not understanding their intent, Xu Sheng simply didn't bother to figure it out. Taking the towel, he began wiping his hair, which was soaked with salty sea water...
After drying off, a Purple-Garbed Soul Master took a cold beverage from a Yellow-Garbed Soul Master and offered it, "You must have been in the water for quite a long time. Here, have a drink!"
Xu Sheng's mouth twitched a few times, and after taking it and sipping lightly, he looked at them and casually said, "Thanks... Thank you."
With that said, he turned to leave...
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master coughed to catch Xu Sheng's attention earnestly saying, "My lord, please wait. Since you're all wet and still smell of saltiness, why don't we take you to a sacred place on Sea God's Island to wash off the fishy smell?"
The Yellow-Garbed Soul Master also fawningly chimed in, "Yes, yes, my lord, consider it compensation for our rudeness to you last time!"
The White-Garbed Soul Master blinked her bright eyes earnestly pleading, "My lord, please give us a chance to repay you!"
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, "What exactly are these people up to? This level of eagerness to please is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Seeing Xu Sheng's reaction, the Purple-Garbed Soul Master quickly explained, "My lord, you surely don't know about the place, the spring water there comes from deep under the sea and is specially processed! It can stabilize cultivation and accelerate training!"
"And it's usually only available to those of Purple-Garbed level and above!"
Xu Sheng was going to refuse, but upon hearing about stabilizing Soul Power, he asked in surprise, "Stabilize Soul Power?"
Knowing that Xu Sheng was interested, the Purple-Garbed Soul Master quickly nodded and pressed, "Yes, exactly! It not only stabilizes Soul Power but also speeds up training! My lord, shall I take you to try it out?"
Xu Sheng gave the three a look, "Lead the way!"
Having ascended to a level-99 Ultimate Douluo in a short period of time, it was indeed necessary to stabilize his foundation!
Otherwise, an unstable foundation could affect the final ascension to godhood!
...
Sea God Temple...
The Sea Horse Douluo, returning to this place, gazed toward the Soul Power Stages above.
Before his eyes were members of Shrek, covered in fresh scarlet blood, even dyeing the Soul Power Stages red!
He couldn't help but wipe his forehead and say in shock, "Are these people utterly disregarding their own lives? Are they risking their lives to push through??"
This level of tragedy was something he had never seen before! Even for the sake of god trials, they shouldn't be risking their lives like this!
Thinking this, the Sea Horse Douluo frowned and was about to stop the severely wounded members from continuing their climb...
However, seven pure and holy light blue halos emanated from the highest region of the Sea God Temple, infusing into the bodies of the seven Shrek Members...
In an instant, the members of Shrek, already exhausted and on the brink of death, were all revived!
And they resumed their reckless ascent...
The Sea Horse Douluo immediately halted in his steps, muttering to himself as if he had lost something, "Is it the Grand Elder? I see."
With the Grand Elder rejuvenating them, these youngsters could indeed go all out against a pressure far stronger than their own!
Atop Sea God's Island, Poseissi watched intently as Tang San's face twisted hideously...
He had now terrifyingly reached the seventy-fourth level!!
Of course, this was after he had activated his external soul bone, the Eight-Spider Spear...
Though currently crushed by the horrendous pressure, Tang San was still slowly advancing towards the next level...
However, the Eight-Spider Spear on his back began to crack, and the sound of "Crack..." could be heard rustling...
One after another, the spears of the Eight-Spider Spear on Tang San's back were forcibly snapped by the terrifying pressure, and the purple liquid containing lethal poison spilled onto the ground, hissing continuously...
After a while, all eight spears had fallen to the ground, the steps were stained with deadly poison...
With the loss of the support from the external soul bone, Tang San was instantly bombarded by the terrifying pressure and fell into a coma...
The other Shrek members were also having a hard time, as each of them was breaking through their own limits, even Ning Rongrong and Oscar had climbed up to the sixtieth step!
Thus, very soon, one by one, they fell into faints under the pressure far stronger than their own...
Even after Poseissi restored them, they still did not wake up...
Poseissi glanced at Tang San's determined cheeks and shook his head, "Have you reached your limit for today? Tang San, with just this, you still can't catch up to him."
Not to mention Xu Sheng's soul power rank, the sheer terror of the Eight Red and One Gold Soul Rings accompanying his ice sword already amounted to at least the strength of a Third-Rank God!
The gap between their powers was like that between a twenty-year-old adult and an infant who had only been born a few months...
Poseissi murmured again, "Moreover, having killed the Deepsea Devil Whale King, he has at least obtained one soul bone! He must be even stronger now!"
A soul bone born from a million-year soul beast... Poseissi estimated that Xu Sheng might already be the strongest on the continent!
Even if it were himself, Tang Chen—Tang San's great-grandfather—and Qian Dao Liu fighting Xu Sheng together, whether they could withstand him for even two hours was questionable!!
...
Followed by the Purple-Garbed Soul Master, they arrived at a place resembling an arc-shaped hot spring pool...
On the steps of this hot spring pool stood four Yellow-Garbed Soul Masters and six White-Garbed Soul Masters as guards...
When the Purple-Garbed Soul Master led Xu Sheng up, several Yellow-Garbed Soul Masters reached out with respect and said, "My lord, please enter!"
Another Yellow-Garbed Soul Master stopped Xu Sheng with an outstretched hand, "However, my lord, this person is not from Sea God's Island and cannot enter!"
Xu Sheng looked at them calmly, remaining silent without a word...
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master beside Xu Sheng's face darkened as he coldly said, "Shut up! This lord has passed the Sea God's trial, which makes him one of Sea God's Island!"
Upon hearing this, the Yellow-Garbed Soul Masters' eyes widened, "Passed the Sea God's trial?"
They quickly apologized, "Our apologies!"
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master glared at them before turning to Xu Sheng, "My lord, let's proceed."
Xu Sheng nodded slightly...
Afterward, the two of them entered the enormous hot spring pool, and saw the kilometer-long pool basking under the intense sunlight...
The flowing water at the bottom was even clearer and more transparent than sea water, faintly releasing the feeble spirit of Soul Power!
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master chuckled, "My lord, isn't this place nice?"
Xu Sheng casually "Hmm" in response...
Whether this place was good or not was aside, this guy was completely like a salesman...
Soon, he turned his gaze back to the clear pool water, touched it slightly with his hand, and felt the feeble Soul Power mixed within the water being absorbed by himself...
He assessed to himself, "However, it does seem truly special."
