Chapter 144: Anxious Sea God
"Pidgeot, let's go!"
As soon as the second Delta Airflow activated, the immense pressure exerted by the Sea God's Light on Mo Hui immediately vanished. However, Mo Hui could still feel his spirit power being rapidly drained in the clash with the Sea God's Light, so he instantly sent a message to Pidgeot via telepathy.
"Beep~"
Pidgeot, clearly understanding the urgency, immediately grasped Mo Hui, flapped his wings forcefully, and shot upward.
Throughout this ascent, the pressure on both Mo Hui and Pidgeot grew steadily more intense. But for Mo Hui, it wasn't the pressure that concerned him most—it was the insane spirit power consumption.
The Delta Airflow, already refined many times by Mo Hui, was extremely potent. Without it, he wouldn't have been able to leap directly over 200 steps.
Now that two Delta Airflows were superimposed, their power surged again. Although they still couldn't fully isolate the Sea God's Light, they blocked over 95% of its pressure.
But this combined power came with a steep cost: it consumed a massive amount of spirit power and mental focus. With Mo Hui's current cultivation, there was no way he could sustain it for long.
Fortunately, Pidgeot was powerful enough. With Pidgeot's assistance, Mo Hui soared across the remaining 27 steps, landing directly atop the 360th step, completing the first trial.
As he landed on the 360th step, the golden light from the Sea God's inheritance mark on Mo Hui's forehead glowed and flowed into his body.
In the next instant, all the spirit power he had lost was instantly restored, and his body was strengthened by the golden light. Even old, subtle internal injuries were quietly healed.
Mo Hui felt an overwhelming sense of comfort, and his previously fatigued spirit was instantly revitalized.
The golden light also flowed into Pidgeot through Mo Hui. After receiving its baptism, a hint of light gold shimmered on Pidgeot's feathers, making it look dazzling beneath the sun.
At that moment, a majestic voice echoed in Mo Hui's mind:
> "First Trial of the Sea God: Pass the Double Sea God's Light.
Reward: Sea God's Affinity +10%.
Current Affinity: 10%."
As the voice fell, a faint blue glow emerged between Mo Hui's brows. That blue light continuously transformed Mo Hui's body, subtly enhancing his suitability for inheriting the Sea God's position.

God Realm – Sea God Temple
The Sea God gazed at Mo Hui, who had passed the first trial in just one day, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
"That domain… it looks quite a bit like the Datong Wind from the Wind God. That old guy… he actually taught Mo Hui that thing?"
Although the Sea God was delighted with Mo Hui's strength, there was also unease in her heart.
Originally, the purpose of the first trial was to temper Mo Hui's body and expand his spirit power reserves. But Mo Hui had passed it too quickly, without accumulating the desired training effect.
This left the Sea God concerned: would he be able to pass the harder trials that followed?
> "No! I have to give him something extra. Otherwise, it won't be secure enough!"
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. With a wave of her hand, she sent down a beam of golden light toward the Douluo Continent.

Douluo Continent – Sea God Island
At that very moment, Bo Saixi was still stunned that Mo Hui had passed the first trial in one attempt. But suddenly, a golden light materialized in front of her, followed by a familiar voice resonating in her mind:
> "Bo Saixi, you are to awaken Mo Hui's second martial spirit as an additional reward for surpassing expectations in the first trial!"
Bo Saixi's heart trembled. Second martial spirit?!
The Sea God was actually granting Mo Hui a second martial spirit?!
As the High Priest of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi had long known of the Twin Martial Spirits legend—and had even dreamed of possessing one herself.
Twin Martial Spirits meant not only nine additional soul skills, but also immense spirit power feedback when attaching rings to the second spirit—something that dramatically boosted one's cultivation.
Now, Mo Hui was about to awaken his second martial spirit… how could she not feel envious?
However, Bo Saixi was still a Level 99 Extreme Douluo, the absolute peak of the continent. Although rare, a second martial spirit held little practical meaning for her anymore. So, she quickly composed herself and held the golden light in both hands.
Soon, as the golden light faded, a golden orb similar in appearance to a God-given soul ring appeared in her palms.
Bo Saixi then turned and slowly made her way toward Mo Hui.

On the other side, Mo Hui had already begun descending from the 360th step.
As he retreated, he deactivated the second Delta Airflow, the first Delta Airflow, and the self-activation technique.
Now, Mo Hui returned to his base form, without any enhancements—yet unlike before, he wasn't at the 39th step anymore. He now stood on the 80th step.
Clearly, through the golden light of the Sea God and the 10% affinity gain, Mo Hui's body had undergone a massive transformation. His physical attributes had at least doubled.
At this point, Mo Hui's physique was comparable to that of some ordinary Titled Douluo, meaning he now had the qualifications to aim for a 100,000-year soul ring.
Once he reached level 70, he could consider attempting to obtain such a soul ring for his seventh ring.
But just being comparable to a Titled Douluo was not enough.
So Mo Hui decided to continue using the Sea God's Light to temper his body—ensuring he would be fully prepared when attempting to break through.
With that thought, Mo Hui sat cross-legged and began to circulate his spirit power, preparing to use the overwhelming pressure of the Sea God's Light to further refine both body and soul.
Just then, Bo Saixi approached him.
She smiled and said warmly,
"Lord Mo Hui, the Sea God is very satisfied with your performance. As such, he has decided to bestow upon you an additional reward."
As she spoke, Bo Saixi turned her right hand over, revealing a radiant crystal-like golden bead.
Seeing this, Mo Hui's eyes lit up.
"Is that a God-given soul ring?"
Bo Saixi chuckled softly, "So Lord Mo Hui is familiar with God-given soul rings. No wonder your sixth soul ring is so distinctively black. But no—this is not a God-given soul ring."
She flicked the golden orb lightly toward Mo Hui.
The moment it hovered above his head, it suddenly exploded into a golden brilliance, transforming into a golden awakening cocoon, like the one used to awaken a martial spirit.
It wrapped Mo Hui inside completely.
