"It's been three months, let's test the difficulty of this second assessment first." Dai Mubai said with some curiosity.
"I'll give it a try first, you all observe from the shore."
Tang San prepared to dive into the sea and said, "Rongrong, assist me later to enhance my Soul Techniques, Xiao Ao, can your Golden Fly enhance Soul Bone skills?"
Oscar shook his head, "It can't, but you can try my Cloned Mirror Image Sausage to see if you can use other people's Soul Techniques."
Tang San shook his head, "It can't be done, besides Soul Power, Soul Techniques can't be used even if copied. Just give me an Energizing Pink Sausage."
"Alright."
Tang San was ready to see the difficulty of the second assessment for the first time when the Seven Douluo arrived.
"Are you finally going to start trying?"
"Senior, are you worried that we will pass? Would you be nervous?" Ma Hongjun asked with a laugh.
"Nervous? Not at all."
They exchanged glances, each person with a calm demeanor.
Seahorse Douluo smiled mysteriously and said, "Soon, you will know the difficulty of the second assessment. Ye Yu, after knowing the difficulty, don't regret making a bet with us."
The reason they came was because they valued this bet and wanted to regain what they had lost.
Sea Dragon Douluo said, "Once you know the difficulty, you might admit defeat."
Ye Yu smiled slightly, "Is it that difficult?"
"Of course it's difficult. If you don't use Soul Techniques, you might be able to pass, but without using anything, it's impossible to pass. However, failure is not a big deal; even if you can't pass the Ten Trial of the Gods, you can still become a God, it's just a matter of time."
Seeing the Seven Douluo confident and unfazed, Tang San and others became even more curious about the difficulty of the second assessment.
Tang San was somewhat eager; the harder it is, the more excited he becomes.
Tang San jumped into the Ring-shaped Sea, while Dai Mubai and others observed the situation on the seabed from the shore.
"Let's see how hard it is this time."
The Seven Douluo crossed their arms, with a calm expression, as if they already knew the result.
With Ning Rongrong's enhancement, Tang San's Soul Power reached level 71, increasing his Soul Techniques release speed. Agility, Soul Power, Strength, Defense, Attack, six attributes of light fell upon Tang San's body.
Tang San used the Blue Silver Domain to sense his surroundings; being in the sea, he felt heavy, grateful for the year spent on the Sea God's Ladder, otherwise, it would be more than just heavy now.
The sea resistance was great, with waves of undercurrents constantly impacting, destabilizing his body.
Tang San exploded power through the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone to propel himself forward; although his control was strong due to two years of cultivation under the waterfall, he still found it difficult to stabilize.
On the shore, Dai Mubai and others watched, realizing the second assessment was indeed difficult.
Seeing their brows furrowed, the Seven Douluo laughed.
"Finding it hard now? But this is just the beginning, soon you'll be shocked."
The Seven Douluo gloated, but seeing Ye Yu, they were surprised, for Ye Yu remained calm, leisurely leaning against the shore.
Seahorse Douluo sighed, "Though you are a super Demon, without using anything, you certainly can't pass, looking calm now but not later. We lost twice before, this time you'll taste losing the Immortal-grade Medicinal Herbs."
After moving twenty meters, suddenly a hundred Arrowhead Fish lunged, moving fast, weaving a large net close by, blocking advance and retreat.
Vast Heaven Hammer appeared in Tang San's hand; not being able to use Soul Techniques doesn't mean Martial Soul can't be used.
Tang San dodged quickly, but couldn't avoid all; the water pressure, resistance, undercurrents affected him, though had no effect on Sea Soul Beasts. Unable to avoid, he used Vast Heaven Hammer to blast Arrowhead Fish away, though their speed meant a temporary escape was but a matter of time till an opening is found.
Dai Mubai and others were somewhat worried, observing Arrowhead Fish in the sea racing like streaming light.
If they could attack, they wouldn't be worried, as these fish are at the Ten Thousand Years level, but given the premise of not harming Sea Soul Beasts, it's problematic, as Sea Soul Beasts can attack freely, now Arrowhead Fish's attack is like a suicidal assault.
Vast Heaven Hammer swung in the sea, as water surged, scattering Arrowhead Fish, but quickly they rushed back, each wave more aggressive than the last.
Tang San progressed while swinging, controlling the force, to repel but not harm.
His Soul Power quickly depleted, Tang San thought to increase the force, avoid harming, and just stun.
Before long, surrounding Arrowhead Fish fled with stunned companions, but a suffocating pressure spread, a huge shadow flashed, Tang San hadn't reacted when a great force hit, instinctively placing Vast Heaven Hammer in front but getting knocked flying.
Splosh!
Water splashed as Tang San's body was flung to the shore.
Upon landing, Tang San felt blood and energy churn, slightly injured, yet whole body was numb and weak.
Xiao Wu quickly helped him up, worriedly asked, "Brother, are you alright?"
"Fine, what attacked me just now? Did any of you see clearly?" Tang San asked in shocked amazement.
"We saw clearly."
Dai Mubai and others nodded, faces heavy.
Seeing their expressions, Tang San was puzzled, how could their faces look so grave.
"Haha, do you now understand the difficulty?"
Seahorse and other Seven Douluo laughed.
Dai Mubai stated heavily, "It was a shark, over twenty meters long, with a huge form, surprisingly agile."
Ma Hongjun said, "It's the Demon Soul Great White Shark."
Tang San was astonished, Ring-shaped Sea housed Demon Soul Great White Sharks, these top Soul Beasts comparable to the Titan Giant Ape, at a thousand years possessing Ten Thousand Years level combat power.
Oscar furrowed brows, said gravely, "Moreover, it's…"
Witnessing everyone's solemn expressions, and their described size, Tang San's heart jolted, "Could it be the King of Demon Soul Great White Shark at the one hundred thousand years?!"
"Yes." They nodded in unison.
Tang San was horrified, encountering a one hundred thousand years Soul Beast in the second assessment, moreover not ordinary.
Ordinary one hundred thousand years Soul Beast rivals level ninety-five Titled Douluo, but such top one hundred thousand years Soul Beast, even Land Level 98 Titled Douluo in the sea can hardly defeat.
Tang San understood why Seven Douluo were so confident.
Seahorse Douluo grinned, "This time, Seven-leaf Profound Water Algae is ours."
Sea Dragon Douluo looked at Ye Yu, surprised by Ye Yu's continued calm demeanor.
"Ye Yu, what kind of calmness is this? Is it the calmness of having given up?"
Seahorse Douluo said, "Surely gave up, Ye Yu, unable to use anything means passing is impossible. Your Ten Trial of the Gods can't gain help from others, so it's even more unlikely, concede now, no need to wait for the one-year limit."
If Ye Yu admits defeat, the Immortal-grade Medicinal Herbs now would be theirs, they'd win and hope fervently Ye Yu gives up now.
Meanwhile, in the Ring-shaped Sea, the King of Demon Soul Great White Shark, having knocked Tang San away, glanced at the shore, eyes resting on Ye Yu.
"It's that boy, the son of Apocalypse Black Dragon." The King of Demon Soul Great White Shark's eyes flashed with dread, heart apprehensive, "Admit defeat, give up, definitely don't come down."
On the shore, Ye Yu stood, looking at the Ring-shaped Sea, earnestly said, "The word defeat is not in my vocabulary, let me give it a try!"
Splash!
With that said, Ye Yu jumped into the sea.
King of Demon Soul Great White Shark: "..."
