Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 360 Showing weakness to the enemy
In the core area of ​​Poseidon Island, near the Poseidon Temple in the ring of sea, screams rang out, followed by several streaks of light crashing into the Poseidon light barrier outside the Poseidon Temple.

"Xiao Bai, you promised not to hit my face, look, you've slapped my face so hard it's swollen."

Soaked to the bone, Ning Rongrong covered her swollen cheeks and looked at the half-exposed figure with a wicked smile in the circular sea with a resentful expression.

And at that moment, the little white thing she was talking about also spoke up.

"Who said we agreed? I didn't agree to that. I can't kill you all, so I need to have some fun, right? Otherwise, I'd be your sparring partner for a whole year for nothing."

At this moment, Long Nianbing and the others slowly brushed the mud off their bodies and came to Ning Rongrong's side. Obviously, this scene had happened countless times in the past month or so, and everyone was used to it.

"Oh my god, I'm so angry! You wait, when my brother comes to visit us, I'll make him slap your bottom until it's swollen."

Unable to win a fight or an argument, Ning Rongrong trembled with anger. After a long while, she sighed in frustration.

"Ugh, this second test is way too hard! Is there any kind soul who would release a 100,000-year-old soul beast into the Ring Sea? How are we supposed to play with sharks in the ocean?!"

"That's right, that's right, it's too much. They might as well just put up a sign that says 'No Entry'."

Rubbing her swollen bottom, Xiao Wu also picked up on her friend's words with a pained expression. In the past few months, they had tried countless times to cross this mere few hundred meters of circular sea, but without exception, they were slapped back to the Sea God's Temple by the tail fin of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, Xiao Bai.

When the little ones first encountered this deep-sea behemoth, they were terrified. Thinking they were about to die, they were completely dazed when they were first brought ashore. After thinking it over, they realized that the 100,000-year-old demonic great white shark seemed to be just blocking them, not killing them.

This relieved everyone greatly. Fighting a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast in the ocean was simply a pipe dream, not to mention that they were subject to many restrictions. Nami, the worst off, was not even allowed to use her spirit rings or spirit skills.

"Alright, Uncle Rongrong, haven't we swum farther this time? There are still almost ten months left, let's take it slow."

"Thank you, Nami, I feel comforted."

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Nami upon hearing this. If there was any progress in the past two months, it was indeed progress. From being slapped back as soon as she entered the sea to now being slapped back after swimming five meters, this progress was practically negligible.

The little rabbit sat cross-legged on the shore with its ears drooping, gazing at the not-so-distant ring-shaped sea on the opposite bank, and sighed deeply.

"We're not going to fail the second test, are we? Will we die here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. To be honest, they had no confidence at all that they could break through the Ring Sea and complete the assessment in ten months.

Seeing that everyone looked listless, Little White in the sea laughed even more happily.

"You guys do have some good points, at least you're quite self-aware. For the rest of the time, eat whatever you want, play whatever you want. Don't even think about passing the test, you don't have the ability, you know that!"

The little rabbit couldn't stand such ridicule and got up to jump into the sea to fight Little White, but Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who were quick-witted and agile, caught it in mid-air.

"That's too much! Sister Xiaowu, fight her to the death! We're all 100,000-year-old soul beasts, what are you so arrogant about!"

"Come on, doesn't your butt hurt anymore?"

Seeing this, Nami quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

"Junior Sister Xiao Wu, we're still in the trial phase. Didn't Master say we should try to complete the assessment by working together? Let's try it more often later."

"Sister Xiaowu understands the logic, but now I just want to fight her."

After a long while, the little rabbit, exhausted from struggling, finally calmed down, but its eyes were still fixed on the mocking little white rabbit.

"Impotent rage, since I'm not going to try today, I'm going back to sleep. See you tomorrow!" "See you...see your head, I want to slap your little sister Wu's butt again."

"It's alright, Sister Xiaowu. I've already got a good grasp of my self-created soul skill. We'll work together then."

Upon hearing this, the little rabbit, who had just been looking displeased, suddenly brightened up.

"Really? Hurry, let Sister Xiaowu see this!"

Nami shook her head, watching the little rabbit's expectant gaze.

"Uncle Xiao Wu, I think we should keep this move hidden until the day of the final assessment. Otherwise, if the opponent is prepared, it will be difficult to catch them off guard."

"I see. Okay, then tell Sister Xiaowu what's going on with your self-created soul skill?"

"Well, it means that I can temporarily enter the form of a sea spirit beast by fully possessing my martial spirit, which will greatly increase my movement speed in the water."

Hearing this, the little rabbit looked at her sister with an expression of disbelief, saying, "No matter how fast you are in the sea, can you be faster than a 100,000-year-old demon soul great white shark?"

Nami clearly understood Xiaowu's thoughts and explained with a smile:
"This alone is definitely not enough, but I still have the soul bone my master gave me. The right arm bone of the Narcissus Frog gave me a very good soul skill, you'll see when the time comes. In addition, we also have quite a few teleportation-type soul skills, so there will be a lot of room for maneuver. It's just that we can't let Xiaobai know in advance, so we can catch her off guard."

"Without practice, can we succeed on the first try?"

The little rabbit was very skeptical. What if it failed on the last day? Wouldn't that be the end of it?

"Oh, Sister Xiaowu, you have to trust our teamwork. Doesn't Uncle Zhuqing have a soul skill that allows him to burrow into shadows? Nianbing also has quite a few soul skills that we can use. Just listen to my commands, and the chances of success are pretty high."

"Moreover, we still have important tasks at this stage."

Upon hearing Nami's words, the group immediately became interested and quickly surrounded her.

"What mission? Tell me quickly!"

"Show your enemy your weakness."

"Huh? We're already weak, do we even need to show off?"

"Oh, that's not what I meant. I meant we shouldn't show any improvement. If we keep acting like that weakling in front of Xiaobai until the very last day, do you think she'll let her guard down?"

Hearing this, everyone gradually understood Nami's meaning: to take advantage of the Great White Shark's underestimation of its opponent and use all its tricks on the last day to go all in.

After thinking for a moment, Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement with Nami's idea. Anyway, there was no better way, right? It's just pretending to be a noob, isn't it? I'll show you how.

So, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, those two drama queens, put their acting skills to good use in the days that followed. Whenever Xiao Bai easily slapped the two of them ashore, they would start beating their chests and stamping their feet on the beach, lamenting their incompetence while flattering Xiao Bai and praising his invincibility. This made Xiao Bai feel a little embarrassed, and he even reduced the force of his subsequent slaps on their butts, since a few weaklings couldn't handle it anyway.

Upon realizing this, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong put on an even more dedicated performance, sometimes bursting into tears so readily that even Xiao Bai felt a pang of sympathy.

"Waaaaah, Xiao Wu, I don't think I'll be able to complete the assessment. Xiao Bai is too strong."

"Yes, sob sob sob, Sister Xiaowu will never be able to eat Qibaolou's Gathering of Heroes again."
