".This."
Now Little Rabbit was dumbfounded. This Ring Sea might even have 100,000 Year Soul Beasts, and they weren't allowed to use Soul Skills. Was this a joke?
However, Nami didn't show a distressed expression. The test didn't say they couldn't use Spirit Bone Skills. She still had two Soul Bones given by her Master that she could use, and with a whole year's time limit, they had enough time to observe the Ring Sea and adjust their tactics.
After thinking for a while, Ning Bei called Nami aside.
Under his Little Rabbit disciple's puzzled gaze, Ning Bei brushed past his Soul Tool, and a crystal-clear Soul Bone appeared in his hand.
"This is the left leg Bone of the Three Lives Wolf Ape, with a lifespan approaching 100,000 years. It's highly likely to provide you with a teleportation-type skill. Absorb it."
"No, Master, I..."
Seeing her Master take out another Soul Bone, Nami shook her head like a sieve. She felt that she had already received enough benefits without making any contributions, and she would feel really bad if she took another Soul Bone.
But Ning Bei didn't give her a chance to finish her words, and directly stuffed the Soul Bone into Nami's hand.
"Take it. If you fail the test, your life will be in danger. You don't want all of Master's efforts in nurturing you to be in vain, do you?"
Since he had decided to invest in Nami, he would give her all the resources. A Soul Bone was not of great use to Ning Bei, and besides, this Soul Bone was snatched from those ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, so he didn't feel bad about giving it away.
Moreover, Nami's Sea God Nine Trials were at least twice as difficult as others, and he wasn't sure if his Little Rabbit disciple had the same heaven-defying luck as that little rascal, so it was reasonable to give her some special treatment.
Nami looked down at the Soul Bone in her hand, her heart filled with gratitude. If Ning Bei hadn't appeared in her life, she might still be suffering from others' contempt in a small village in Endless Blue Sea City.
How could she have made so many friends of the same age like she has now? Even though her seniority is a bit low, she doesn't care. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is also doing its best to cultivate her, and what's more, she now has the opportunity to become a God.
She will never be able to repay her Master for what he has done for her in this lifetime. She decided to complete all the tests at all costs, and find a chance to repay her Master after ascending to Godhood. She must not let his expectations be disappointed.
"I understand, Master. I will definitely complete the test."
"Yes, Master believes in you. By the way, absorb the Soul Bone as soon as possible. It is possible to get the Soul Bone's lifespan increased after the God Test."
"Yes, Master."
Nami didn't doubt her Master's words at all. Ning Bei himself was a beneficiary of the God Test, and every suggestion he made was based on experience.
After returning to the group, no one asked what the two of them had gone to do. They all knew in their hearts that Nami's test was too outrageous, and it was normal for Ning Bei to give her some help.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Poseidon Se looked at Ning Bei with an unfriendly expression.
"I should have said that Sea God Island does not welcome outsiders to enter and leave at will, right? Why are you here again?"
The impolite words made everyone feel uncomfortable, but they knew Poseidon Se's strength and didn't dare to act rashly.
Ning Bei didn't pay too much attention to Poseidon Se's malice. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and explained his intention.
"Senior, you should also know that as the heir to the Ice God, I also have a God Test. I have come here this time to complete my test."
"Hmm?"
Poseidon Se was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting Ning Bei's intention to be this. Then, she raised her eyebrows and asked:
"What is the content of your test? If I can help you, I don't mind forming a good relationship."
Looking at Poseidon Se's calm face, Ning Bei didn't choose to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Defeat two Limit Douluos alone."
Poseidon Se raised an eyebrow slightly. Although she couldn't see through Ning Bei's current strength, she figured a child in his early twenties couldn't be that strong. In her opinion, this kid was somewhat ignorant. Even as the Ice God's successor, he shouldn't be so provocative, especially since he hadn't become a god yet, had he?
"Do you know what you're saying? Do you understand what a Limit Douluo represents?"
Two consecutive questions already indicated her displeasure, but Ning Bei didn't show any sign of backing down.
"Of course, this junior knows what a Limit Douluo represents. If it were the last time, I definitely wouldn't have challenged you, senior, but now..."
The confident smile on Ning Bei's face made Poseidon Se pause again, secretly thinking what a confident young man he was.
Poseidon Se didn't waste any more words, mobilizing her Soul Power to form a powerful aura that pressed towards Ning Bei, wanting him to glimpse a corner of a Limit Douluo's strength, so he would retreat in the face of difficulty.
The terrifying aura instantly made the hairs on everyone around Ning Bei stand on end, and they took several steps back in succession.
But Ning Bei's performance surprised Poseidon Se somewhat. At this time, his expression didn't change at all. Instead, he had a faint smile on his lips, and he even managed to stand in front of the group, blocking all the pressure that was spreading over.
"Let me introduce myself. Ning Bei of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, successor of the Ice God, Titled Medicine God, level 99 Limit Douluo. Please enlighten me, senior."
Ning Bei slightly turned to the side, adopting Ip Man's starting stance towards Poseidon Se. Everyone behind him only felt that the man's back was glowing.
Compared to the admiration of the group and Dugu Yan, Poseidon Se's expression was much more interesting, with surprise, doubt, and realization.
Such a young Limit Douluo was truly unheard of to her. Could this be the standard for gods choosing successors? No wonder she and Qian Daoliu couldn't take that final step. So this was the real genius.
After glancing at Ning Bei with a complex expression, Poseidon Se slowly opened her mouth and said:
"Have you thought it through? Even if you are also a Limit Douluo, it's impossible for you to defeat me on the sea. As the guardian of Sea God Island, I won't allow myself to fail on Sea God Island's territory, so if we really fight, I won't hold back."
"Naturally, there's no need to. If I can't defeat you, senior, it can only mean that my cultivation is not enough."
Ning Bei had no fear in his heart. His eighth trial had a full five years. If he couldn't beat her once, he would come twice. Anyway, there was no one below the god level who could kill him, and he didn't think he would definitely lose. He simply had too many trump cards, so many that many things that others considered their last resort, he had no chance to use.
Hearing this, a rare hint of appreciation flashed in Poseidon Se's azure eyes. How long had it been since she had been challenged? Even she couldn't remember. The young man in his early twenties actually made her blood boil again.
Once upon a time, she was also just a young Sea Spirit Master, climbing her Soul Master path with the goal of becoming the strongest. She didn't know when she had lost her drive. Perhaps it was from the moment she obtained the top-level eight trials?
"Alright, I accept your challenge. Come with me, young man."
"Please."
Ning Bei stepped aside to give way to Poseidon Se, then slowly followed her steps.
