Chapter 616 The Dragon Kings' Little Tricks, Failure.
"What are these pains?"
Absorbing energy, Xuan Mo calmed himself down.
Although the pain brought by these blade hurricanes was no less than the legendary feeling of being slowly sliced to death, just as he expected, the energy of the bead was shattered by the blade hurricanes and then integrated into his body, greatly enhancing his body's ability to withstand the age limit of the soul ring!
Thus, Xuan Mo experienced both pain and pleasure...
Seven days later.
"Little Mo, are you sure you're ready?"
Since Xuan Mo finished absorbing the soul ring three days ago, he had been rescued from the canyon by the Space Dragon King using spatial power.
After all, it took four days to absorb the soul ring, resulting in him being attacked by blade hurricanes without moving for four days. His injuries looked even more serious than when he pushed open the palace door.
Therefore, at the Wind Dragon King's suggestion, Xuan Mo recuperated for three days before preparing to initially face the Wind Dragon King's test.
During that recuperation period, he also gave himself an indisputable title: "Taotie".
Xuan Mo was the first generation of Taotie Douluo!
"Of course I'm ready."
Looking at the entrance to the canyon, Xuan Mo rubbed his hands together, looking eager to get started.
He was confident that after four days of adaptation, he could complete the rest of the journey in one go.
However, what he didn't expect was the inexplicable smile on the faces of the five Dragon Kings as he focused his attention on the canyon.
"Since that's the case, then go in. Remember, you cannot use the Dragon Slayer Blade or your ninth soul skill during this trial."
With a slight gesture from the Wind Dragon King, Xuan Mo descended into the canyon.
After doing all this, she looked at the other Dragon Kings and then focused her gaze on Mu Lin. "After we make changes inside in three days, Xiao Mo will definitely not pass so easily. It will take at least a year. So take this human boy to find Xiao Hei and let him train with Xiao Hei and the dragon souls in Dragon Valley. This will be beneficial for his strength growth and the replenishment of his blood and qi."
Speaking of this, she glanced at the canyon entrance.
"As for Xiao Mo, I'll keep an eye on things here."
The other Dragon Kings naturally had no objections. After all, during the three days Xuan Mo recuperated, the five Dragon Kings had reached a consensus.
That is, Xuan Mo couldn't pass this test so easily; at least the difficulty had to be increased.
The reason was Xuan Mo's performance during the four days of absorbing the soul ring, which forced the five Dragon Kings to make this decision.
Otherwise, they worried that Xuan Mo's understanding of the wind element wouldn't be sufficient after completing the previous level of difficulty.
Therefore, during Xuan Mo's three days of recuperation, the Wind Dragon King made some minor adjustments to the canyon.
"Xiao Mo, I hope you understand."
With that, the Wind Dragon King spread her arms, and the wind element in the canyon was instantly mobilized, undergoing a dramatic change.
After doing all this, her figure, which had been solid, became somewhat ethereal.
"Wait, why is this different from what I saw before?"
Three days later, he returned.
But when he looked at the surrounding scenery, he was completely bewildered.
Although the hurricane, sharp as a blade, was still fierce, leaving several bloody marks on his body, what was this sandstorm, mixed with the yellow sand filling the sky, forming a windstorm as sharp as knives?
"Aunt Wind, did you send me to the wrong place?!"
However, the response to Xuan Mo was not the Wind Dragon King's answer to this question, but rather... "The Wind Dragon King's test: quell the sandstorm within the canyon and walk out of the canyon to pass the test."
At this moment, Xuan Mo was completely stunned!
But the surrounding sandstorm didn't give him a chance to be stunned; in an instant, the sandstorm swept in, instantly enveloping Xuan Mo.
Recovering, Xuan Mo quickly activated his soul power, forming a barrier around himself, blocking all the sandstorm.
Unable to resist, he could only silently endure the Wind Dragon King's sudden change to the test.
Supporting himself with the soul power barrier, he slowly walked forward.
However, the further he went, the stronger the wind and the more powerful the wind blades became. Moreover, the wind and wind blades were becoming increasingly unpredictable, not merely blowing or sweeping, but sometimes surging like waves, sometimes striking like a heavy hammer, and sometimes cutting like a thousand knives.
"This sandstorm must have an eye. As long as I destroy the eye, the sandstorm will subside," Xuan Mo thought, his aura suddenly rising sharply.
At the same time, his martial soul instantly possessed him.
"Annihilation Devouring Light!"
"Boom!"
The sandstorm and wind blades in front exploded or were annihilated. The energy wave spread outwards like rolling waves of blades.
In just a breath, all the sand and dust in the area swept away, within a radius of several meters centered on the location where the "Annihilation Devouring Light" landed, were completely cleaned up, leaving not a single grain of sand.
However, the reality was not so simple.
Looking around, the sandstorm was still rampant in the distance, still raging. And soon, in just three breaths, even the area of several meters that had just been cleaned was covered by sandstorm again.
"It seems that simply suppressing it with brute force is useless."
Thinking about it, it makes sense. This test was specially revised. Calming the sandstorm is no easy task. If attacking could shatter everything and destroy the eye of the storm, it would be too simple.
And then there would be no need for the revision.
So what should be done now?
Just as Xuan Mo calmed down to think…
"Crack, crack…"
A series of cracking sounds suddenly came.
Xuan Mo looked in the direction of the sound and stared intently.
He saw that the soul power barrier he had erected had only lasted for less than five minutes before it began to shatter!
This was a soul power barrier erected with his Title Douluo cultivation; its strength far exceeded anything he had ever achieved before. Even the ninth soul skill of an ordinary Title Douluo could withstand it without a scratch!
But now…
"Gluttonous Battle Body! Indestructible Vajra Body!"
Two defensive soul skills were activated, instantly covering his entire body, completely enveloping him.
"Crack, Boom!"
As the barrier shattered completely, sandstorms and wind blades slammed into Xuan Mo, causing a pain far greater than before.
However, Xuan Mo discovered that his two layers of defense remained completely undamaged by the sandstorms.
Yet, the pain was undeniably real.
What alarmed him even more was that the damage inflicted by the sandstorms was affecting his internal organs.
"What on earth is going on!?"
Meanwhile, the Wind Dragon King outside the canyon had been watching Xuan Mo closely. Seeing his current state, he shook his head. "It seems that in about another hour, he'll fail on his first attempt."
