"You little... Ice God, you're finally willing to complete the Seventh Trial."
Upon learning that Ning Bei intended to submit to the Seventh Trial, Tian Meng practically raised both hands in support. In his opinion, Ning Bei's later moves were just reckless messing around, wasting Soul Power and being impractical.
Ignoring Tian Meng's complaints, Ning Bei directly communicated with his divine sense.
"Submit the Ice God Seventh Trial."
After a few seconds, the cold, mechanical voice in his mind echoed.
"Ice God Nine Trials, Seventh Trial: The Ice God's Techniques. Create your own Soul Skills. Assessment detects a total of 36 Soul Skills created by the examinee, of which 5 possess Divine Skill potential, 2 possess Titled Douluo-level potential, and 29 are not within the scope of the assessment."
"Core rating: Excellent. Increases the age of all Soul Bones by 30,000 years, the age of all Spirit Rings by 50,000 years, and grants one God-given Spirit Ring."
The assessment was completed, and the rewards were distributed simultaneously, but Ning Bei didn't seem happy at all.
"What the heck? Are you saying all my efforts for the past year were useless?"
"The ones with Divine Skill potential are probably the Bei's Four Absolutes I invented at the beginning, plus the Black Tortoise Unrestrained Snow. It's just unfair."
Ning Bei's depressed expression almost made Tian Meng in his mind burst out laughing.
"I told you to just submit after you completed the Bei's Four Absolutes! You just had to do all this useless stuff. Got slapped in the face, didn't you?"
"Hmph."
Ning Bei didn't want to pay attention to this guy and began to count his gains. The Soul Bones had indeed all been upgraded, and as for the God-given Spirit Ring, he hadn't even absorbed the one he got as a reward for completing the Sixth Trial yet. Maybe it would be better to absorb that God-given Spirit Ring earlier and then receive the Spirit Ring age increase rewards later, but Ning Bei always felt that breaking through to Level 99 wouldn't be so simple, because now he couldn't feel any loosening of the bottleneck no matter how he cultivated.
So he wanted to absorb two God-given Spirit Rings at once to see if he could directly push himself to the level of a Level 99 Limit Douluo.
Speaking of which, his trials had always felt easy. Except for the Fourth Trial, which had some intensity in defeating six Titled Douluos, the others were like freebies. Could it be that he was the Ice God's own son?
Just as he was thinking, the cold, mechanical voice in his mind came again.
"Ice God Nine Trials, Eighth Trial: The Number One Person Under the Gods. Defeat two Level 99 Limit Douluos alone. Time limit: five years. After completing the trial, the External Spirit Bone, Spirit Snake's Feather, will evolve into the Ice Snow Divine Feather, in addition to the basic rewards."
As the Eighth Trial was announced, Ning Bei's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a flash of impulse to slap himself a few times crossed his mind. Serves you right for being a smart aleck.
He had just been complaining that the Ice God's trials were too simple, and now he was being given a challenge. And that wasn't all. If he wasn't mistaken, the meaning of "defeat alone" was to prevent him from bringing the Little Angel along for a two-on-one fight.
Tch, not letting me take any shortcuts. I take back what I just said.
"What's wrong, Ice God? Did you receive the Eighth Trial?"
Seeing him fall into contemplation again, the Snow Emperor thought of the God Test.
The crisp voice also brought Ning Bei back to his senses. He looked at the Three Giants of the Far North with a complicated expression and slowly nodded.
"That's right, the Eighth Trial has been issued: Defeat two Limit Douluos alone."
"What?"
Hearing the content of Ning Bei's trial, the Snow Emperor exclaimed in surprise, while the Ice Emperor and Tian Meng beside her were somewhat ignorant.
"What's wrong, Snow'er? Limit Douluos are nothing. The Ice God has already defeated many Titled Douluos above Level 97."
"That's right, Snow Emperor. This shouldn't be a problem for Ning Bei, brother."
The Ice Emperor and Tian Meng had not encountered opponents at that level, so of course they would think so, but as the Snow Emperor, whose strength was quite close to that of a Limit Douluo, she knew very well the terror of that level.
...
"You don't understand, it's basically impossible to defeat a Limit Douluo before reaching the Limit Douluo level."
"This..."
Although Tian Meng and Ice Emperor didn't understand, they chose to believe Snow Emperor's judgment.
"What to do, Ice God?"
Looking at the worried appearance of the Three Giants of the Far North, Ning Bei smiled indifferently.
"There are five years, I don't believe I can't reach that level within five years. Next, I plan to directly absorb two God-given Spirit Rings to break through the bottleneck of Limit Douluo."
"Great, if you also reach the level of Limit Douluo, with the power of the artifact, this test will be easy."
"That's right, two opponents are also easy to find, your girlfriend's grandfather counts as one, and that one on Sea God Island counts as one."
Snow Emperor watched the three people's optimistic appearance from the side, hesitating whether to remind them, the Limit Douluo level is not so easy to reach. If it were that easy, after 600,000 years of accumulation, she would have broken through to that level long ago.
Ning Bei obviously saw Snow Emperor's worries, but breaking through the limit was something that always had to be tried, doing nothing was not an option.
After communicating with Ning Fengzhi and Little Angel, telling them that he needed to retreat for a period of time, Ning Bei went directly to the Ice God Hall.
"It's about to begin!"
After saying a word to the Three Giants of the Far North, Ning Bei took out the Soul Nourishing Pill and Meridian Protecting Pill and swallowed them in one gulp, then directly took out a God-given Spirit Ring, crushed it, and sat cross-legged, releasing Ice Heaven Snow Woman to begin absorbing the Spirit Ring.
Tian Meng and the other two stared at Ning Bei with nervous expressions. This concerned their fate, so they couldn't help but pay attention to it.
"I hope Ice God can do it."
"Impossible, breaking through that level requires condensing a second Soul Core, but there is only one Soul Core in Ice God's body, so it is impossible to break through to Limit Douluo."
"Uh, Snow'er, why didn't you say that just now?"
Ice Emperor was stunned for a moment, then asked with a slightly reproachful tone.
Snow Emperor shook her head, indicating that it didn't make much sense to mention it or not.
"The vacancy of the three Spirit Rings is there, whether you break through or not, these two Spirit Rings need to be absorbed."
"I see..."
After listening to Snow Emperor's explanation, Ice Emperor and Tian Meng thought about it and it was indeed the case, so they didn't dwell on the issue anymore, and would find a way later.
Time passed day by day, and as the seven Golden Markings appeared on the blood-red Spirit Ring, Ning Bei began to attack the 800,000-year Spirit Ring.
The process didn't have too many twists and turns, and when the eighth Golden Marking condensed, Ning Bei slowly opened his eyes.
"I can finally use Spirit Avatar too."
Two Spirits, now the sixteenth Spirit Ring, Ning Bei finally had the qualification to activate Spirit Avatar. The Pill Tower Spirit is too special and does not have the ability of Spirit Avatar.
After the excitement, Ning Bei felt his realm and fell into contemplation again.
"Still not working?"
He had a hunch that even if he absorbed the second Spirit Ring, he still wouldn't be able to break through to the Limit Douluo level.
"Don't think about it, Ice God, Snow'er said that if you want to break through to that level, you must condense a second Soul Core."
Ning Bei was stunned for a moment. Soul Core? This shouldn't be a term from this era, right? But after thinking about it, if there wasn't such a thing as a Soul Core, how did Qian Daoliu, Poseidon Se, and Tang Chen break through to level 99? It seems he had taken things too much for granted.
