Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 389 Getting Through It
Seeing everyone gritting their teeth and persevering amidst the endless waves, Ning Bei felt a pang of pity, especially for Ning Rongrong. He knew that as a support Soul Master, her physical strength was not as great as that of other battle Soul Masters.

Although I always tease my younger sister, seeing her stubborn and determined look still stirs a ripple in my heart.

Poseidon, standing to the side, took in all of his expressions.

"If you want to receive the Sea God's gift, you must endure this hardship. Do you intend to protect them under your wings for the rest of your life?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Bei was slightly taken aback, then revealed a faint smile.

"It wouldn't be impossible if they were willing, but they don't want to be kept in a gilded cage. They will succeed."

Poseidon nodded, acknowledging the perseverance of the little ones. Perhaps she really had waited for the successor of the sea god.

"By the way, you defeated Qian Daoliu?"

"Yes, there's only one exam left. Maybe we'll meet again next time."

Ningbei didn't finish his sentence, but Poseidon instantly understood what he meant: the next time they met, they might not be on the same level.

"Then I'll wait to call you Lord Ice God."

Ning Bei looked helpless at Poseidon's teasing; this woman had almost become her grandmother.

"You flatter me, senior. Please take good care of these children."

"Don't worry, this is simply my duty."

Poseidon nodded, then seemed to realize something.

"Ready to leave?"

"Hmm, let's try to find an opportunity for the ninth test. Waiting around isn't a good idea."

"Well, I wish you success."

Poseidon glanced at Ningbei with a complicated expression and offered her blessings. She wasn't jealous of the young man, but she did feel a little envious.

The divine position that he himself had been seeking but could not obtain, seemed to be within the other party's grasp.

Three hours later, Ning Bei used her soul power to transfer the little ones, who had been exhausted and unconscious in the tide, to the shore. Even while unconscious, Ning Rongrong still maintained a defiant expression, which looked quite adorable.

In the end, it was Dugu Yan, who had the highest soul power cultivation, who woke up first. After looking around in confusion, she found Ning Bei's figure, and her eyes lit up as she came back to her senses.

“Abe, they don’t even allow the use of support soul skills in that tide, it’s practically murder.”

Ningbei smiled and tapped her delicate nose, teasingly:
"So you want me to give up? Anyway, I don't have any requirements regarding your strength."

"do not want!"

Without a second's hesitation, Dugu Yan dismissed the idea of ​​giving up. She already felt that her talent was inferior to Ning Rongrong and the others. If she gave up the assessment, it wouldn't be long before these children, who were six years younger than her, would be able to overtake her in terms of strength. Although Dugu Yan didn't have any great ambitions, she still had to fight for this honor.

"Then let's keep going. If it really doesn't work out..."

"There's nothing I can't do. Rongrong and the others can persevere, so why can't I?"

Before Ning Bei could finish speaking, Dugu Yan stopped her, making it clear that she was not allowed to say anything more.

While the two were talking, the others also woke up one after another. When Ning Rongrong woke up, she was still spitting out seawater, obviously she had drunk a lot of it.

"Wow, is it finally over?"

The scene before them was clearly not what should have been on the sunken silver pillar, so there was only one answer: everyone's body tempering for the day had ended.

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to get up, the pain radiating from her entire body almost caused her to fall back onto the ground.

"Ouch, that hurts so much." "You can argue with that, Sister Xiaowu just wants to go back to sleep now."

The little rabbit immediately nodded in agreement. Let alone Ning Rongrong, a support character, her body as a battle spirit master was almost falling apart after being battered by the waves for several hours.

Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, always had a smile on her face; she felt happy as long as she could keep getting stronger.

"The pain in my body shows that those tides can indeed have a body-strengthening effect. If I persist, my physical strength will definitely improve significantly."

"Yeah, I know that, but a whole year is so hard to get through."

The little rabbit's droopy ears and pitiful appearance amused everyone, and even the pain in their bodies seemed to be relieved a lot.

"Hey, by the way, how long did we actually hold out?"

Xiao Wu, who had been listless, suddenly brightened up and looked in Ning Bei's direction, wanting to ask him and the others if they had met the time requirement.

“It’s three hours for all of you. According to what Senior Poseidon just said, none of you have met the standard.”

"Ah~~"

The little rabbit sat back down on the ground, dejected. It was bad enough that it was knocked unconscious by the waves, but it didn't even pass the test. It was really something else.

"We're actually doing well. Zhu Qing and the others are only one hour behind, and we're only two hours behind. Nami is in a much worse situation. She's seven hours behind on the first day, and she'll have to make up for that later."

Nami, who was comforting the little rabbit, suddenly froze, clearly remembering that her test was a double tidal body tempering. Even as a sea soul master, she felt extreme pain in the face of endless giant waves.

"Sigh, I can only make up for it slowly later. I'll try my best to last four hours tomorrow."

Nami didn't want to dig too big a hole in the early stages of body tempering, as it might be impossible to make up for it in the later worlds, since she would need to spend an average of ten hours a day on the Silver Pillar for a year.

"Forget it, I'll think about that later. Let's go back to town, have a good meal, and get a good night's sleep first."

The little rabbit's opinion was unanimously agreed upon by everyone. The group then bid farewell to Poseidon and returned to the Sea Maiden City. While having dinner at the restaurant, Ning Rongrong and the other two girls asked about the major events that had occurred on the continent.

Just as Ning Bei was about to speak, her gaze suddenly shifted to Zhu Zhuqing beside her, which startled the little cat slightly. She smoothed the stray hairs on her forehead and asked:
"What's wrong, Brother Ningbei?"

"The Star Luo Empire no longer exists, or rather, it has become part of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Long Nianbing and the others didn't think much of it, but Ning Rongrong, who knew what level Xingluo was, exclaimed in surprise.

"Really? The Thousand-Year Star Luo is gone just like that?"

Compared to Ning Rongrong's detached, gossipy attitude, Zhu Zhuqing was far more terrified, followed by a surge of complex emotions.

"Brother Ningning, the Zhu family."

Ningbei understood the kitten's thoughts, after all, it was the place where she was born and raised, even though growing up there was not a pleasant experience.

"The Zhu family is fine. They have already submitted to the Tiandou royal family and still exist in Lingmao City. However, the royal Dai family no longer exists."

"Huh, that's good."

For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing, who didn't have much affection for the Zhu family of Xingluo, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that they were alright. As for who controlled the Xingluo regime, she didn't care at all.

"You can go back and visit when you have time."

"Okay, thank you for informing me, Brother Ningbei."
