Just as Poseidon Se acknowledged Ning Bei's victory, that icy voice echoed in Ning Bei's mind.
"Ice God Nine Trials Eighth Trial, the strongest person under a God, defeat two Limit Douluo of level 99 alone, now defeated Limit Douluo Poseidon Se of level 99, completion 1/2, time limit five years."
Upon hearing that Ning Bei's next opponent was her old acquaintance, Poseidon Se revealed a knowing smile, having witnessed the defeat, she no longer doubted Ning Bei's strength.
"You will succeed, perhaps the next time we meet, I should address you as God."
"Haha, this junior was just lucky."
The tense atmosphere between the two also thawed with the end of the battle, but the appearance of a group of people quietly shattered the harmony.
"High Priestess!"
"Are you alright?"
As the voices entered their ears, "Swish, swish, swish," seven figures appeared before them as if by magic, it was the Seven Holy Pillar Guardians of Sea God Island.
Sea Dragon, the strongest among the seven, stared at Ning Bei with unkind eyes from the moment he appeared, subtly positioning himself between the two. He saw Poseidon Se's current weakness, and although he didn't think he could do anything in front of someone who could defeat Poseidon Se, his respect for Poseidon Se made him subconsciously stand in front of her.
"Sea Dragon, no need to be like this!"
"High Priestess?"
Sea Dragon turned his head, looking at Poseidon Se with confusion. The terrifying battle just now was clearly between the two of them, so why not let him drive the enemy away?
"This is a guest of Sea God Island, you don't need to be so vigilant, the battle just now was just a friendly exchange."
Poseidon Se didn't mention the God Test, firstly because she couldn't speak carelessly without Ning Bei's permission, and secondly because this wasn't something people of Sea Dragon's level should know.
After hearing Poseidon Se's explanation, the Seven Holy Pillar Guardians looked at Ning Bei again with less wariness. Ning Bei didn't care much about this, anyway, the biggest goal of this trip had already been achieved.
"I won't disturb you any longer, I'll go see my companions and then leave, I believe Senior will agree, right?"
Ning Bei showed a sly smile to Poseidon Se, as if saying that you can't do anything to me even if you don't agree now.
Poseidon Se rolled her beautiful eyes, but didn't refute his meaning.
"Please feel free, just don't disturb the people of the various cities on Sea God Island."
"Don't worry, I'm not that bored."
After speaking, Ning Bei ignored them and disappeared directly in place.
On the distant coast, the group of youngsters watched the opposite side, where no battle had occurred for a long time, and had some guesses in their hearts.
"Is it over? Did Big Brother win?"
"Needless to say, Big Brother Ning Bei will definitely win."
Ning Bei, who had already approached behind them, revealed a knowing smile upon hearing the two sisters' conversation.
"Didn't realize you two had so much confidence in me?"
The familiar voice rang from behind, causing a hint of joy to climb into everyone's eyes.
"Big Brother Ning Bei."
"Big Brother!"
"A Bei!"
After a round of greetings, everyone learned the results of the battle and cheered. Ning Rongrong even raised her chin to the sky, as if to say, 'Did you see that? My brother even defeated the strongest person on Sea God Island. We can walk sideways from now on.'
"Are you hurt? A Bei."
Everyone was sharing the joy of victory with Ning Bei, but only Dugu Yan was concerned about whether her man was injured. The commotion just now was a bit too much.
"Don't worry, have you forgotten that I still have those pills? Even if I'm injured, my life won't be in danger."
"Hmph, you're so capable, alright?"
Looking at Ning Bei's smug expression, Dugu Yan suddenly felt like her worries were all wasted.
"Now that you've completed your trial, are you leaving again?"
Having not seen him for nearly a year, Dugu Yan missed him dearly and hoped he could stay with her for a while longer.
"I'll stay for a few more days. There are indeed many things that need to be dealt with on the continent recently, but there's no rush."
"That's great."
Hearing that Ning Bei would stay for a while longer, Dugu Yan's happiness was evident.
In this way, today was a double blessing for everyone. They passed the Sea God First Trial, and Ning Bei also completed his Ice God Trial.
They discussed going back to Sea Maiden City to find a hotel to celebrate. Life in the Sea God Forbidden Ground was too boring. To avoid wasting time going back and forth on the stairs, they chose to camp in the Sea God Forbidden Ground. When they were hungry, they ate some dry food. Only when they couldn't bear the stench of dried sweat on their bodies would they go back to take a shower.
Now that the first trial was completed, they no longer had to live this kind of rough life.
Along the way, Ning Rongrong and Little Rabbit clung to Ning Bei, having endless things to say.
"I said, Big Brother, you really didn't come to see us for a year? Are you so relieved about us?"
"You're all grown-ups, what's there for me to worry about? Isn't your Sister Yanzi here? I also have my trials to complete, okay?"
Ning Bei rolled his eyes at Ning Rongrong. Did he have to stare at them on Sea God Island for their trials?
"Tch, I think you just forgot about us."
Although Ning Rongrong knew in her heart that she was being unreasonable, she still gave Ning Bei the back of her head. However, the little girl came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, she became curious about the battle just now.
"Big Brother, how powerful is that High Priestess? I'm telling you, we didn't dare to get close to watch the battle. I pulled Xiao Wu back when she wanted to go. Do you think she thinks her life is too long?"
Xiao Wu was very dissatisfied with her little sister's exposure and glared at her angrily, but she did not refute. She did want to go forward to watch the battle just now.
"Yes, you did a good job."
Hearing his sister's complaint, Ning Bei found it amusing. Wasn't Little Rabbit just long-lived?
"As for that High Priestess, she is indeed very strong. I almost fell into the sea."
Then, Ning Bei explained the whole process of the battle in detail. Although there was a little less tension, everyone still broke out in a cold sweat for him when they heard that Ning Bei had fallen into a disadvantage.
After returning to the hotel and having a good meal, Ning Bei began to remind everyone.
"This Sea God Second Trial looks difficult, but you can try to complete this trial through teamwork. Don't always think that each of you has obtained a God Test and is just a separate individual. Since the content of the trials is similar, you must learn to use this advantage."
Hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully, obviously taking Ning Bei's words to heart. As for how to cooperate, that was not a problem that Ning Bei should worry about. He couldn't possibly chew the food and feed it to them. He might as well go with Dugu Yan to see the Nightglow Spirit Bone that he hadn't seen for a year.
As it turned out, Dugu Yan craved the taste of the Nightglow Spirit Bone even more than he did. After saying goodbye to the little ones, she dragged him straight to her room.
The two also expressed their longing for each other after a year apart, though the battle was a bit more intense.
