"I think what Zhuqing said might be true. If so, then this Sea God Affinity is indeed the best reward for you," Dugu Yan echoed.
"What exactly is the use of Sea God Affinity? We'll find out when the time comes. Oh, right, how was your second trial?" Ye Lingling looked at everyone.
Yu Feng was the first to speak: "Lingling, the second trial is called 'Breakthrough: Circular Sea Blockade'. The condition for passing the trial is to break through the blockade on the Circular Sea and reach the opposite shore without killing any Sea Soul Beast."
"Zhuqing and I also have the same, but with an additional rule: no Spirit Ability can be used, and even some Spirit Bone Abilities are restricted; only some can be used."
Ye Lingling then checked the content of her second trial and, after a moment, said, "Mine is also the same, but all my Spirit Abilities and Spirit Bone Abilities are sealed."
"That's too many requirements," Yu Feng said in surprise.
"It feels so difficult," Ning Rongrong opened her mouth.
"It's fine. Although Spirit Abilities and Spirit Bone Abilities cannot be used, Domain can still be used, and the self-created Spirit Abilities that Shi Quan taught us can still be used," Ye Lingling said calmly.
"However, the second trial didn't say it was a solo battle, meaning we can cooperate to pass it. From this perspective, this second trial shouldn't be easy, given the difficulty of the first trial," Zhuqing continued.
"We shouldn't rush the assessment. For now, let's rest and recuperate, Cultivate normally for a while, and then face this second trial," Dugu Yan continued.
"Mm." Everyone nodded.
The other side of Sea God Island.
Raging Wave Forbidden Land.
Huge waves made a rumbling sound.
The terrifying giant waves had just formed, and the moment they approached the sunken silver pillar, they were shattered by a terrifying force.
After countless splashes, Shi Quan's muscular figure was revealed. His tall posture was as if rooted to the sunken silver pillar, standing steadily. Whenever a giant wave struck, he would punch out. A simple punch, yet it contained a power that even Spirit Beasts would fear.
After half a year of intense training, Shi Quan was finally able to stand steadily on the sunken silver pillar and possessed the terrifying power to contend with hundred-meter giant waves.
This also marked the end of the second phase of Shi Quan's Raging Wave Forbidden Land training.
The first phase was to temper the Physical Body, and the second phase was to enhance power.
As for the final phase Shi Quan set for himself, it was more accurately about improving his application of power.
Of course, although the increase in power allowed Shi Quan to possess the strength to contend with the waves, this was not what Shi Quan pursued.
Shi Quan wanted to reach a Realm where he could use borrowed strength to strike back, similar to Heavenly Star Shift. If he could resolve and utilize the immense power of a hundred-meter giant wave, his control over his own strength and force would undergo a qualitative change.
Adhering to making the best use of everything, this was the third phase Shi Quan set for himself.
Wanting to resolve the power of giant waves is not as simple as tempering the Physical Body or training strength. Its difficulty is higher than the previous two. However, the training in the first and second phases laid a very good foundation for Shi Quan. This third phase of Cultivation tests Shi Quan's own Comprehension Ability more.
The duration of this phase is the hardest to estimate. Shi Quan himself is not sure how long it will take.
After half a year of power tempering, Shi Quan's spirit power also autonomously increased to eighty-four, not far from eighty-five.
Before the third phase began, Shi Quan planned to go back and see Ye Lingling and the others. Calculating the time, they should have already reached the second trial stage.
He turned and flew towards Sea God Mountain.
From afar, Shi Quan noticed the overcast sky over Sea God Mountain and the boiling sound of the Circular Sea water.
"Sea God Mountain is forbidden to fly around. Stop outside the Circular Sea," Gu Yuena reminded.
Upon hearing this, Shi Quan's speed immediately slowed down.
The current Circular Sea is similar to the previous Seagod's Light, serving as a Sea God's assessment ground. If Shi Quan were to intrude rashly, it would attract the Sea God's attention.
Shi Quan landed outside the Circular Sea. From the boiling seawater, a huge, snow-white shark head emerged. The shark opened its mouth and spoke in human words: "Kid, the Circular Sea is their assessment ground now. I advise you not to barge in, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Shi Quan smiled and said, "Didn't I stop outside the Circular Sea in advance?"
The Devil Spirit Great White Shark, Xiao Bai, leaped up and transformed into a tall young woman in mid-air before landing. She looked Shi Quan up and down, then nodded slightly: "Weren't you Cultivating in the Raging Wave Forbidden Land? Why did you suddenly come here?"
"The second phase of Cultivation is over, so I came to see them."
Xiao Bai's eyes curved into a smile, showing more interest, "Anyway, I'm just idling around. Let me see the results of your Cultivation?"
As soon as her voice fell, her body flashed out. A string of illusory grayish-blue figures trailed behind her. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of Shi Quan. With a sway of her body, her right leg whipped out like a whip.
Boom!
The piercing air explosion turned into a wind that caused the trees behind Shi Quan to rustle loudly.
Shi Quan raised his palm with one hand, directly blocking Xiao Bai's whip kick. His figure stood as steady as a Sea God's needle, unmoving.
"Such strong power." Xiao Bai's grayish-blue eyes narrowed, clearly surprised that a human like Shi Quan possessed such terrifying power, not at all inferior to her, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
One must know that the strength of Spirit Beasts lies in their powerful Physique.
Their Physical Body, far surpassing that of Spirit Masters, is what makes Spirit Beasts so difficult to deal with.
However, the power Shi Quan displayed had clearly almost closed the gap in power and Physique between Spirit Beasts and humans.
"Continue!" This made Xiao Bai even more interested. That kick earlier was just a simple test. If Shi Quan couldn't even block that, she would naturally be disappointed. The battle had just begun now.
"Then let's continue!" A glint also appeared in Shi Quan's eyes. He hadn't fought in a long time either.
After Cultivating for so long, he could take this opportunity to properly witness the results of over a year of Cultivation in the Raging Wave Forbidden Land.
At this moment, Xiao Bai retracted her leg, spun three hundred and sixty degrees, and behind her, a snow-white Devil Spirit Great White Shark illusory figure appeared. Another whip kick was unleashed, and the shark tail of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark illusion, along with Xiao Bai's shark tail, swung over like a Dragon wagging its tail.
Boom!
Another violent collision sound came. The huge sound wave even caused the boiling Circular Sea water to flow back a bit, and the surrounding trees drooped their branches as if under heavy pressure.
Shi Quan, with a single spring kick, directly met Xiao Bai's whip kick head-on.
Two deep gouges appeared on the ground. Shi Quan's figure retreated about six or seven meters, and Xiao Bai on the other side also retreated several meters, directly stepping onto the boiling surface of the Circular Sea.
