Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 79 Undersea Trial
"Hello, thank you for your help this time."

Qiangu Qitian greeted the other party politely.

Captain Tan is a straightforward man: "Young Master, why are you so polite? The headquarters has allocated a large sum of funds for this trip."

Chatting and laughing, the three of them walked towards the Soul Transmission together.

The Chuan Ling is the largest ocean-going cruise ship among all the Chuan Ling Tower's ships, and therefore it can be named after the Chuan Ling Tower.

The ship is an astonishing 380 meters long and 60 meters wide. It has a total of floors and is equipped with banquet halls, bars, theaters, casinos, shops, swimming pools, open-air parks and other living and entertainment facilities.

Not only that, the ship is also equipped with the Federation's most advanced soul guide shield system, so it is not afraid of attacks from sea soul beasts under 100,000 years old when sailing.

This is simply a mobile fortress on the sea.

When Qiangu Qitian and Muye boarded the Soul Transmission, the crew began to make final preparations before departure.

The two were personally led by Tan Jianbin to the most luxurious lounge on the cruise ship.

The decoration of the lounge is extremely luxurious, and every corner exudes the scent of money.

Even the ornamental plant is a 3,000-year-old Bi Yue flower. The tips of its petals are white and then gradually turn into purple. Every moment, the Bi Yue flower exudes a special fragrance and has the special effect of calming the mind and concentrating the energy.

The inspection was almost over, and Captain Tan Jianbin asked, "Master Mu, are there any special arrangements for this trip?"

This involves Muye's blind spots in knowledge. There is no way around it. The Body Sect is poor, so people usually buy boat tickets from the Sun and Moon Federation to Tiandou or Xingluo, and take the Body Sect's secret trials on the way.

Most of their routes are fixed, and they rarely reach their limits in every trial.

Except for Muye, the elders of the Body Sect did not have the courage to capture sea soul beasts during the trial to make up for this shortcoming.

After all, not every organization is as lawless as Tang Sect Shrek.

The past was before and the present is now.

Now, because of Qiangu Qitian’s influence, Makino has briefly gained command of a cruise ship capable of ocean voyages.

You can really go wherever you want.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, there are professionals here.

Makino smiled and replied:

"Captain, could you please design a route where the depth of the seawater increases in steps, with each step being 500 meters."

Tan Jianbin thought for a while and nodded: "I understand what you mean, Sect Master Mu."

"Master, you and Sect Master Mu should go and rest for a while. I will go and discuss the route with the first and second mates."

After saying this, Tan Jianbin bowed and left.

Not long after he left, a waiter brought tea and cakes.

After the waiter left, Muye and Qiangu Qitian were the only ones left in the huge lounge.

Makino picked up a cup of steaming tea from the table, but instead of drinking it, he played with the cup carefully.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this cup is obviously made by the top ceramic craftsman in Tiandou City. The texture and carvings are exactly the same as the royal utensils of the Tiandou Empire ten thousand years ago."

After evaluating the cup, Makino put it under his nose and sniffed it gently.
"Hmm↓↑, top-grade scented tea, made with at least three thousand-year-old flower plants, the flavors complement each other, and the fragrance is overflowing."

"My God, it's really thanks to you that I can drink such top-quality tea."

Qiangu Qitian, who was lying on a soft recliner with his eyes closed, said speechlessly: "Uncle Ye, don't treat me as a local rich man. After all, these things are not mine, but my grandfather's. To be more precise, they belong to my second uncle."

Muye knew that the second uncle that Qiangu Qitian mentioned was the current master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Qiangu Dongfeng.

"Xiaotian, have you ever thought that you will become the master of the Spirit Pagoda in the future?"

Makino asked casually.

Qiangu Qitian said indifferently: "No, I think it's fine now. My second uncle is a power-hungry person, not to mention, he has a precious grandson."

"But your grandfather favors you so much, you should be able to feel it. Although the current tower master is Qiangu Dongfeng, your grandfather can still make the final decision with a single order."

After hearing what Muye said, Qiangu Qitian's heart was also shaken.

After a while, he still shook his head and said, "It's meaningless to talk about this now. I have to become a Titled Douluo before I'm qualified to talk about these things. I estimate that at my training speed, it will take a conservative estimate of ten years to become a Titled Douluo."

Before becoming a Titled Douluo, Qiangu Qitian would not show the slightest desire for the position of the Spirit Transmission Tower's Master. This was a form of protection for himself.

He had always kept his distance from Qiangu Dongfeng, and the two of them had hardly ever met each other.

If Qiangu Qitian wants to compete, he must fight with Qiangu Dongfeng.

Once the struggle begins, it will inevitably end in a life-and-death struggle.

But this is what Qiangu Dieting does not want to see.

After all, both of them had his blood flowing in their veins.

It is too difficult for an old man to make this decision.

This is also the reason why Qiangu Qitian chose to give up.

He didn't want to make Qiangudieting sad.

Seeing Qiangu Qitian's attitude, Muye asked tentatively: "Since you don't want to become the master of the Spirit Pagoda, what do you think of the position of the master of the Body Sect? You know, ten thousand years ago, we were a sect that could compete with Shrek. If you join, you will definitely be as important to the Body Sect as Lingbing Douluo is to the Tang Sect."

The story of Huo Yuhao being the leader of the Tang Sect's revival has long been known to everyone on the mainland.

When Qiangu Qitian heard Muye equate himself with Huo Yuhao, he felt a chill.

Do I look like a dog?
At least Huo Yuhao got to eat the bones dropped by the Buddha (Tang Wutong), what could he eat?
Tang Wulin?
Ah Yin?

Xiao Wu?

Or is it the secondary use of Buddha's bones?

"Don't do that. Uncle Ye, being the head of an organization is too tiring. I'm not that talented. You want me to be the leader of the Body Sect. I guess when a director makes a movie called "The Last Leader" to commemorate the Body Sect, I will be the male lead."

"That's good too. At least the Benti Sect didn't perish in my hands."

Makino stroked his chin and answered seriously.

Qiangu Qitian was completely speechless.

The two emperors Qin and Hui, right?

Not long after, Qiangu Qitian's call came.

I picked it up and saw it was Captain Tan Jianbin calling.

As soon as I answered the call, a voice came from the other end: "Master, the route has been planned. Please turn on the projector next to you and I will transmit it to you."

Qiangu Qitian did as he was told and turned on the projector beside him. A piece of information data was transmitted through the soul guide and then projected out by the projector.

The projector is not an antique that projects onto a white screen, but a new type of 3D image data projection.

An elliptical sphere with slightly flattened ends and slightly bulging in the center appeared in front of Qiangu Qitian and Muye.

The three largest continents are embedded in a sphere filled with blue ocean.

And a small red dot is marked at a location in the eastern part of the largest continent.

Tan Jianbin's voice came from the soul guide communication: "This red dot is our starting point. Next, we will sail northeast. After about 200 nautical miles, we will sail out of the continental shelf and the sea depth will reach about meters. Then all the way east, the depth of the sea will gradually increase, and finally stabilize in the range of about to meters. Of course, in the abyss waters beside our route, the sea depth in some areas reaches more than meters. There is even a trench called the Howling Abyss, whose average depth reaches a terrifying meters, and the deepest place is an astonishing meters!"

"Very good, this is the route we'll take."

Makino made the decision immediately.

Not long after, the Chuan Ling was up and running and slowly sailed away from the port.

"Xiaotian, have you seen the secret method of the Benti Sect that I showed you?"

"Ah."

"How to evaluate."

"It can be considered a top-level body-refining method."

Qiangu Qitian has already had a general understanding of the secret method of the Body Sect, which can develop the potential of the human body to a great extent.

The underwater trial is only a superficial appearance. The most crucial thing is that after the trial, the people from the Body Sect will inject energy into the trial-taker to stimulate his blood.

This step was only mentioned briefly in the secret method of the Body Sect that Muye gave to Qiangu Qitian, without being elaborated on in detail.

"Xiaotian, have a good rest. I'll call you when we get there."

Qiangu Qitian said with alarm: "You don't want to throw me to the bottom of the sea while I'm asleep, do you?"

Qiangu Qitian saw through Makino's little trick at a glance, but the former did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he snorted and bit back: "I'm just worried that you will be too tired later. Besides, what difference does it make whether you know it or not, 500 meters under the sea?"

"Well, it's up to you."

Qiangu Qitian was indeed a little tired. He closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Seeing Qiangu Qitian fall asleep, a smile appeared on Muye's lips.

"Of course there is a difference. Once you have completed the escape trial, you are a member of my Benti Sect."

Originally, before talking with Qiangu Qitian, Muye did not have this little thought.

After seeing that Qiangu Qitian really didn't want to become the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Muye came up with this little idea?
Don't accept it?
That won’t work. You have already learned the skills of my Benti Sect.

At worst, the Body Sect will be merged into the Spirit Transmission Tower in the future.

It's nice to have a big tree at your back to enjoy the shade.

It is not surprising that Makino has such an idea. In the original novel, the final outcome of the Body Sect is that it is acquired by Shrek.

Not to mention the Body Sect, ten thousand years later, after the once prosperous Soul Pagoda returned to the Great God Circle, it was said that the Soul Pagoda and Shrek Academy merged, but in fact, it was Shrek that swallowed the Soul Pagoda.

Today, the sea is calm and the sun is shining, creating sparkling water. Occasionally, schools of fish pass by, casting tiny shadows on the water.

Qiangu Qitian was sleeping peacefully. When he was about to turn over, he, who had a keen sense of elemental energy, suddenly felt the water element beside him increasing at an extremely terrifying speed.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself falling at a very fast speed.

Uncle Ye, you idiot!

Qiangu Qitian cursed in his heart and immediately made preparations.

With a "plop", Qiangu Qitian fell into the sea. The rich water element was happily dancing around Qiangu Qitian's body.

The big hand behind him exerted a huge force, and Qiangu Qitian, who was floating on the sea, was pushed to sink under the sea.

Under the sunlight, the underwater world is so magnificent and bright.

This is the area least visited by humans on Douluo Continent. Relatively speaking, it retains most of the natural landscape, colorful fish, blue water, and -

Huh? Why don't I feel suffocated?
Qiangu Qitian actually discovered that he could breathe normally and independently in the water!
Moreover, unlike fish that absorb oxygen from seawater through special lungs, it is more like the water element supplies oxygen for Qiangu Qitian to breathe.

As the depth gradually decreased, Qiangu Qitian could also feel the tremendous pressure from the surrounding sea water.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters...

Qiangu Qitian carefully felt the changes in his body. After descending about four hundred meters, Qiangu Qitian finally felt a little pressure. However, there was always a thin film formed by the condensation of water elements around his skin, protecting his body.

Makino had completely turned into dark gold at this time. He was two meters and five centimeters tall and did not look like a human being at all. His knotty muscles were covered with dark gold luster, and the blood vessels under his skin were bulging, each of them looked like a dragon.

The ancient scholar Qi Tian could only use one word to describe Muye at this time: golden-bodied arhat.

After pressing Qiangu Qitian's body to the bottom, Makino was just about to enjoy Qiangu Qitian's panicked look as he struggled to survive.

In his opinion, Qiangu Qitian has always been smooth sailing, and it seems that success has always been his life.

Makino also wanted to see this super genius being humiliated.

But Qiangu Qitian at the bottom of the sea only felt that the surrounding sea water was constantly stimulating his skin, flesh and bones by squeezing. Apart from that, he did not feel too much discomfort.

Qiangu Qitian blinked at Muye curiously, as if to say: That's it? That's it?

Muye felt insulted. He didn't expect that Qiangu Qitian could remain so calm under the pressure of the sea water more than 500 meters deep.

Monster, a real monster.

But the trip couldn't be in vain. Muye noticed that the pressure of the sea water at this time still had a certain stimulating effect on Qiangu Qitian's body. Since the quality was not good, he would make up for it with quantity.

So, Qiangu Qitian stayed at the bottom of the sea, and next to him stood a two-meter-and-five-meter-tall dark golden giant.

In addition, not far away, Makino’s dark red mecha was always looking in this direction.

As time passed, under the constant stimulation of the water pressure, Qiangu Qitian could already feel the soreness and weakness in his body.

Seeing that Qiangu Qitian was about to move upward, Muye, who was laughing so hard that his mouth was about to burst into laughter, simply held Qiangu Qitian down with one hand.

"My little master, don't be anxious. Only those who have endured hardships can become the best."
