Chapter 216: Discussion on Self-Condensed Soul Rings
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~...
In the ring-shaped sea of Poseidon Island, Poseidon waved her scepter and summoned a massive curtain of water, effortlessly blocking the barrage of attacks headed her way.
Her opponents were none other than the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo of Poseidon Island and the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark, Xiaobai.
Seeing that their joint assault was so easily neutralized by Poseidon, Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh:
"The High Priest is really getting more and more terrifying."
It turned out that Sea Dragon Douluo had still harbored the thought that, even if Poseidon was a level 99 Extreme Douluo, with the seamless cooperation of the Seven Sacred Pillars, they would at least be able to give her a good fight.
But reality proved him wrong.
Even after a full month of honing their team synergy, they still couldn't even break Poseidon's defense, let alone land a hit. If Poseidon had taken things even a little seriously, they would have been defeated instantly. And even the addition of Xiaobai, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, didn't change that.
"Indeed. The current High Priest is at least 50% stronger than the one who fought decades ago," Seahorse Douluo nodded solemnly.
Sea Girl Douluo smiled and added,
"If those two people were to come again now, I doubt they'd last long. The High Priest probably wouldn't even need to call upon the power of the sea to beat them."
Decades ago, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu had come to Poseidon Island to challenge Poseidon. That duel ended in Poseidon's victory—with the aid of the sea's power. The result of that battle had cemented Poseidon Island's authority.

"Hm?"
Suddenly, Poseidon ceased her movements and turned toward a distant direction.
Everyone paused in confusion.
And then, a blue meteor streaked across the sky—growing clearer in their eyes.
"It's Lord Mo Hui, he's back!" Sea Girl Douluo exclaimed with joy.
Among all the Sacred Pillar Douluo, Sea Girl Douluo admired Mo Hui the most. He was the first person who had truly listened to her Sea-Calming Divine Song with sincere appreciation. In fact, he had even delayed his Sea God Assessment just to sit and listen to her music for an entire day—something that had deeply touched her.
Sea Dragon Douluo looked at the streak in the sky with a serious expression.
"So, he's finally back."
Mo Hui's Sixth Trial was to defeat the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo working together. It had originally been scheduled for one week after his fifth trial, but Mo Hui had disappeared for over a month before now returning.
---
Soon, Mo Hui descended from the sky on Pidgeot, stepped off, and said with a calm smile,
"Sorry, something delayed me. You were training? In that case, how about we begin the trial tomorrow?"
"The aura around him… it's different."
Poseidon narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on her scepter.
For the first time, she sensed something dangerous from Mo Hui.
Until now, she'd never considered Mo Hui a true threat, but now... now he had a presence that made her wary.
The Seven Douluo exchanged glances. Then Sea Dragon Douluo said,
"No need to wait. Once we recover, we'll fight you today, Lord Mo Hui."
"Alright, I'll be nearby. Just call me when you're ready."
Mo Hui nodded and walked off to a flat area, where he pulled out a pen and a blueprint, and began modifying something.

Poseidon curiously approached, glanced over, and remarked:
"This is a soul power circuit. Are you designing your own soul skill?"
"I guess so," Mo Hui replied casually, still drawing. "To be precise, it's my ninth soul skill."
"Ninth soul skill?"
Poseidon frowned.
"Are you planning to wait for another God-given soul ring? But Lord Poseidon already granted you two. It's unlikely he'll give you a third."
Hearing that, Mo Hui's pen paused briefly.
Then, he looked up and asked,
"Senior Poseidon, do you know the true nature of a God-given soul ring?"
"The God-given soul ring is the manifestation of Lord Poseidon's divine power. Essentially, it's a creation of divinity," Poseidon answered without hesitation.
As the High Priest of Poseidon Island—the person closest to the divine—she had the ability to wield divine power to a limited extent. She naturally understood the essence of a God-given soul ring.
Mo Hui nodded.
"You're right. A God-given soul ring is divine power. But in my eyes, divine power is just another form of energy. So I wondered..."
"If divine energy can be used to condense soul rings—what about other energy sources?"
---
Boom—
Mo Hui's words struck Poseidon's mind like thunder.
Yes. If divine power could be used, why not other energies?
But then she quickly frowned and countered,
"But how can other energy compare to divine power? The gap is far too large. Just because divine power can do something doesn't mean ordinary energy can."
Mo Hui smiled calmly and replied,
"That's true. Other energy can't match divine power. But that doesn't mean it can't be used to condense soul rings."
Then, he stood and summoned Pidgeot's soul rings—purple, black, black, red.
He pointed at the blood-red eighth ring and said:
"This ring was self-condensed in a region of extremely concentrated wind-elemental energy. I didn't use any divine ring."
---
"What!?"
Poseidon stared at the 100,000-year blood-red soul ring in disbelief.
To condense a soul ring using something other than divine power?
And not just any ring, but one at the 100,000-year level?
Impossible!
But she quickly found a flaw in his explanation.
"That's not possible," she said sharply.
"To condense a 100,000-year ring would require an enormous amount of energy. Even if it's theoretically possible using natural energy, gathering that much would take years—decades even! From the time you left until now, it hasn't even been a full month. How could you possibly absorb that much?"
Mo Hui smiled with admiration.
"Senior Poseidon truly deserves her reputation as an Extreme Douluo. You immediately spotted the weakness in my method."
He continued,
"Yes, gathering that much energy would be too slow under normal conditions. Even in a place rich with elemental power, condensing a soul ring would take far too long."
"That's why... I created something to solve that problem—another self-created soul skill."
Mo Hui's eyes sharpened.
"Delta Airflow."
