"Is that Shi Quan?"
Under the influence of the intense collision sounds from across the Circular Sea, the people Cultivating at the foot of Sea God Mountain also woke up from their Cultivation.
What greeted their eyes was Shi Quan battling a white-clad woman with long grey-blue hair.
Each punch and kick unleashed piercing sonic booms and powerful gusts of wind.
"Who is fighting Shi Quan? Other Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo of Sea God Island?" Yu Feng and the others asked, puzzled.
"It's a Spirit Beast!" The three girls answered in unison.
As the three girls exchanged glances, they understood that each of them had learned the identity of the white-clad woman from the soul spirit in their minds.
Ordinary people couldn't see anything unusual, but the soul spirits in the minds of the three girls were all Vicious Beasts: Red King, Bear Lord, and the ice and snow two emperors.
They naturally saw through Xiao Bai's identity immediately: a Spirit Beast transformed into human form, a hundred-thousand-year Sea Soul Beast, the Devil Spirit Great White Shark.
"Spirit Beast?" Yu Feng exclaimed in surprise, "A hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast transforming?"
Ye Lingling and the other two girls were quite calm; after all, they had seen many beings stronger than hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, and this was not the first or second time they had witnessed a Spirit Beast transforming.
"Mm."
Receiving confirmation from the three girls.
Yu Feng and the others stared wide-eyed at the distant battle, "Shi Quan is actually going head-to-head with a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast?"
"Hiss!" Ma Hongjun gasped, "Is Shi Quan a human or a Spirit Beast? Forget a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, we wouldn't even dare to go head-to-head with a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, right?"
Oscar swallowed hard, "Fatty, don't forget Shi Quan hasn't even used his Martial Spirit. Without using his Martial Spirit, let alone ten thousand years, you wouldn't dare to go head-to-head with a thousand-year Spirit Beast, right?"
Ma Hongjun's expression stiffened, and he said awkwardly, "Can't compare, can't compare."
"But why would a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast appear here?" Oscar asked, puzzled.
"It should be related to our assessment." Ye Lingling's gaze narrowed slightly, and a hint of solemnity appeared in her expression.
"A hundred-thousand-year Devil Spirit Great White Shark King, Sea God really thinks highly of us." Zhuqing also couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
"What do you mean?" Ma Hongjun scratched his head, still not quite reacting.
Oscar's expression changed slightly, and he quickly reacted, "The hundred-thousand-year Devil Spirit Great White Shark King is the guardian Divine Beast of Sea God Island. Its sudden appearance in this Circular Sea is very likely to block us from completing our task."
"What?!" Ma Hongjun's mouth gaped slightly, and his eyes stared blankly at the woman fighting Shi Quan.
"Are we going to face the trial of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast in this second assessment?" Yu Feng also had a dumbfounded expression.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, their faces turning a little ugly.
Zhuqing comforted them, "Our second assessment is to cross the Circular Sea's blockade. This Devil Spirit Great White Shark King should only block us and not launch a fatal attack on us."
Ye Lingling also nodded, "That's right. Although our trial is difficult, it's impossible for us to directly face a hundred-thousand-year Sea Soul Beast in the second assessment. Although the difficulty of the assessment is great, there must still be some limitations. From the content of our assessment, we can know that the condition for us to pass the assessment is merely to Breakthrough the Circular Sea's blockade and reach the opposite shore, and not to defeat the hundred-thousand-year Devil Spirit Great White Shark. So there's no need to be too nervous."
Hearing their analysis, everyone's expressions improved somewhat.
Across the Circular Sea, the intense, close-quarters battle between one person and one shark continued.
Xiao Bai became increasingly alarmed as she fought. Shi Quan felt like a humanoid Spirit Beast to her; his strength, speed, and Physique were in no way inferior to her, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
It was hard to imagine that this was truly a level humans could achieve.
Of course, besides that, what made her feel most frustrated was that as the battle progressed, with the same collisions, she felt a sense of powerlessness, as if punching cotton, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"I'm too lazy to play with you anymore." Xiao Bai saw that Shi Quan seemed to be using her for practice, and immediately lost interest in fighting. After sweeping Shi Quan back with a whip kick, she stopped moving.
"What's wrong?" Shi Quan also smiled and stopped.
Xiao Bai said, "What's going on with your punches? I clearly hit you, but why did it feel like I didn't hit anything?"
"This is a special way of using internal force, capable of deflecting an enemy's attack. If you're interested, I can teach you."
"Really?" Xiao Bai's eyes lit up.
"However, during this second assessment, you can't use this method to deal with Lingling and the others." Shi Quan said with a smile.
"Then forget it. This is an assessment arranged by Sea God. I will go all out. As long as I know it, I won't hide it." Xiao Bai shook her head and turned to say, "However, after their assessment ends, I can learn it. Do you think that would be okay then?"
"Yes, but can you promise me one condition?" Shi Quan nodded.
"There's still a condition?" Xiao Bai frowned slightly, "Tell me first."
"Currently, this Circular Sea is within the assessment area, restricting entry and exit. The Spirit Masters of Sea Horse City cannot send food to the other side of the Circular Sea, but you should be able to, right?"
"You want me to help them send food?"
"That's right." Shi Quan nodded.
In the original work, due to the restrictions of the second assessment, Tang San and the others had to eat Oscar's Sausage for a year. This unnecessary hardship could also be avoided.
"No problem." Xiao Bai directly agreed. She was still very interested in Shi Quan's special combat technique. It was just sending some food, and it wouldn't involve the assessment, which was equivalent to free delivery. Why wouldn't she do it?
"Then thank you."
"No need. If we're counting, I actually took advantage of you." Xiao Bai shook her head, leaped into the water, and poked out a shark's head, saying, "When the time comes, you can have the people of Sea Horse City place the items to be sent on the shore."
"Okay."
Shi Quan nodded in agreement, and Xiao Bai immediately submerged into the sea.
"Shi Quan!"
Voices filled with spirit power passed through the turbulent Circular Sea. Seeing that the battle had ended, everyone on the other side of the Circular Sea happily waved and greeted Shi Quan.
Shi Quan waved back, and his mental force passed through the Circular Sea, echoing in everyone's minds.
Although they were two hundred meters apart, it didn't affect their communication at all.
After understanding everyone's situation, Shi Quan also told them that Xiao Bai would deliver their meals.
During this period, they cultivated every day, and without food, when they were free, they either ate Oscar's Big Recovery Sausage to replenish their Physique or went to Sea God Mountain to find edible plants and fruits to satisfy their hunger.
This was undoubtedly painful for everyone. Hearing that Shi Quan had asked Xiao Bai, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, to deliver their meals, and that she had agreed, everyone was exceptionally excited.
After speaking, Shi Quan naturally went to Sea Horse City first, because due to the second assessment, the Spirit Masters of Sea Horse City had stopped their regular food deliveries. Now that it was possible to send food, Shi Quan naturally had to notify them.
After notifying them, Shi Quan then returned to Raging Wave Forbidden Land to continue his third phase of Cultivation.
