Chapter 167: Wouldn't it be better to add it directly to the conditions?
The best way to face fear is to face it head-on!
Thinking of this, Mo Hui looked at the waterspout surging toward him, and his eyes instantly grew resolute.
Then, Mega Pidgeot's massive form transformed into a stream of light and charged directly into the towering waterspout.
The moment he entered, Mo Hui felt the assimilation of the alien wind attribute energy. It felt as though his entire body would dissolve into wind and disappear with the current.
However, even though he sensed the assimilating energy of the alien wind, Mo Hui wasn't immediately affected.
After enduring nine months of storm tempering, his body had developed a resistance to this alien wind energy. That resistance significantly weakened its ability to assimilate him.
The same went for the sea water. After ten months of tidal body training, Mo Hui's physique could instinctively disperse the invasive energy of the seawater, dramatically reducing the external attacks on his body.
This resistance also worked against other forces, causing the wind-based attacks of the water tornado to deal significantly less damage than expected.
"But I can't let my guard down. The assimilation effect is still there. It's just weaker now—but if I stay inside too long, I'll still get assimilated. The top priority is to find the eye of the tornado. That's my only chance."
Mo Hui's expression turned serious.
He then guided Mega Pidgeot's massive body inward, deeper into the heart of the storm.
After persevering for nearly a quarter of an hour, Mo Hui finally found the eye of the storm. His face lit up in relief, and he quickly maneuvered Mega Pidgeot into it.
The moment he entered the eye of the tornado, a wave of tranquility enveloped him. The assimilation and destructive fusion of wind and water energies around him vanished instantly without a trace.
"Hah~"
Only then did Mo Hui breathe a full sigh of relief—he had likely completed the joint test of the Wind God and the Sea God.
He then surveyed the surroundings—and was instantly awestruck.
Within the eye of the water tornado, wind and water attribute energies fused with near-perfection. It was utterly natural, with no trace of conflict or disharmony.
"What a perfect fusion of wind and water!"
Mo Hui murmured in admiration. Compared to the two gods—whose divine wisdom spanned who knew how many centuries—he still had far to go.
Though his improvement to the Pidgeot Meditation Method allowed him to blend wind and water energy, it was clearly still crude compared to the seamless dual-element fusion occurring around him.
"This opportunity is rare—I must make the most of it," Mo Hui thought to himself.
As he settled in, Mega Pidgeot's eyes began to glow green. Mo Hui concentrated, silently observing the energy flows and patterns in the eye of the storm.

God Realm – Sea God Temple
Inside a magnificent divine palace, a dignified man stood before a shimmering water curtain. On the other side of the water curtain was a handsome young man dressed in green robes.
"Wind God, do you think we're being too harsh? Can that kid even pass this?"
The Sea God looked down with concern at Mo Hui—bound to the silver pillar, battered alternately by tidal waves and raging storms—and spoke with a trace of reluctance.
The tidal body tempering he had originally designed was already quite extreme. And because Mo Hui had spent two additional months on the Wind God's trial, the difficulty had only increased.
Now that the Wind God's storm tempering had been added in tandem, the challenge level didn't just double—it multiplied geometrically.
The Sea God couldn't help but wonder: if he were in Mo Hui's place, could he even pass this?
The Wind God gave a dismissive snort.
"Didn't you say you wanted to cultivate a God-King level successor? If he can't even survive this trial, how can he inherit the thrones of both of us?
"And do you really think that past month counted as a test? That was just leisure training."
The Sea God fell silent. True enough, during that first month, Mo Hui had clearly viewed the trial as nothing more than a high-level simulation training ground.
The true goal of the tidal body tempering wasn't just physical—its greater purpose was to forge the heir's willpower.
Mo Hui's spiritual focus was undoubtedly impressive. He could completely ignore external pain and immerse himself in cultivation. But ironically, that trait made him less suited to will-tempering under physical duress.
Seeing the Sea God speechless, the Wind God pressed on:
"Even combining storm and tide isn't enough. Look at how fast he adapts! He's already started developing a meditation method suited for it. If we keep this up, he'll surpass the training's difficulty curve. I say it's time we raise the bar."
"Oh? What do you have in mind?"
The Sea God's interest piqued at that.
"Simple," the Wind God replied. "Isn't he trying to develop some Feng Shui dual-attribute fusion meditation method? Since he likes it so much, let's give him what he wants—a sea hurricane that fuses both our divine powers. Let him try breaking through that."
The Sea God frowned.
"That's way too much. A sea hurricane created with both our divine powers—if a Super Douluo from the lower realm got caught in that, they'd die instantly. You want to use that to test a Soul Saint?"
Though he wanted Mo Hui to face tougher trials—and even curb his arrogance—the Sea God didn't want to push it too far. If Mo Hui failed, it would delay everything. And that wasn't an outcome he desired.
"You're still underestimating him," the Wind God said, shaking his head. "After all this, that kid's body has already started adapting to divine wind energy. Even my Great Unification Wind, he can partially resist now. As long as we properly control the intensity, and leave a safety zone in the center of the hurricane, he will pass."
The Sea God thought in silence, then finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing that, the Wind God smiled faintly. Together, they returned to watching Mo Hui's trial below.
In the God Realm, a year in the mortal world was just a single day. A few more months were nothing. They would wait.
"Oh, by the way!"
Suddenly, the Sea God turned to the Wind God and asked curiously,
"How exactly did you seal that kid's self-created soul skill? Even I couldn't block something like that."
The Wind God looked at him strangely.
"Seal it? Why seal it? Just... add 'it can't be used' in the conditions for passing. Isn't that enough?"
"Huh? That's it?"
The Sea God was stunned. He hadn't expected it to be that simple.
