Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 418 The Sea God's Fourth Trial

Ning Bei shook her head, her face showing no sign of disappointment.

"Grandpa Qian, if two people are truly in love, why should they be together every day and night?"

Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Ning Bei, this carefree fellow, would actually have the ability to speak eloquently.

"You actually have this kind of writing talent?"

"Just lucky, just lucky."

Ning Bei touched the bridge of her nose, subtly concealing her guilty conscience. "I have no literary talent whatsoever; it's all thanks to my brother surnamed Qin."

Qian Daoliu smiled, not paying attention to Ning Bei's humility, and his expression gradually turned bitter.

"This assessment may seem uneventful, but it is actually extremely dangerous. If Xiaoxue cannot break through the cocoon of light on her own within the allotted time, she may be in mortal danger, and the assessment will fail."

In contrast to Qian Daoliu's deep concern, Ning Bei appeared extremely confident.

"Grandpa, you underestimate Xue'er. She will definitely succeed."

"Oh? You have that much confidence in Xiaoxue?"

"Of course, how could my woman be someone who can only hide under someone's wings and enjoy the protection? She will surprise Grandpa Qian."

Qian Dao revealed a faint smile. Although he didn't understand where Ning Bei's confidence came from, he wholeheartedly chose to agree.

"So, are you going to stay here and wait for Xiaoxue, or go take care of your own business?"

"No, I have to go to Poseidon Island. The assessment there is also underway, and I imagine it's at a similar pace to Xue'er's."

"Oh? No wonder you mentioned Poseidon's sacrifice to me. It turns out they're also conducting assessments over there."

Ning Bei nodded, feeling a little worried about her younger sister who was prone to throwing tantrums. She wondered if the younger sister could adapt to the upcoming assessments.

"Alright then, I'll tell Xiaoxue that you were here after she finishes her assessment."

"No need, Grandpa Qian."

"Ok?"

Under Qian Daoliu's puzzled gaze, Ning Bei waved her hand and summoned an ice butterfly. She used her soul power to carve a few lines of words on its back, and then used her magic to cover up the writing. Only Qian Renxue would be able to read the words using a special method known only to the two of them. After completing all this, Ning Bei waved her hand and released the ice butterfly. The butterfly spread its wings and fluttered for a moment before landing outside the cocoon of light.

"That's fine. Xue'er will know I was here when she comes out."

"What did you write?"

Ignoring Ning Bei's little tricks, Qian Daoliu was instead curious about what Ning Bei had written in it, which earned him a glare from Ning Bei.

"Why are you, an old man, so nosy about the affairs of young people? No wonder you lost to Tang Dachui back then."

"I"

Several question marks rose in Qian Daoliu's mind. "You little brat, are you always talking nonsense?" The old man almost couldn't resist drawing his Angelic Holy Sword.

"Stay calm, you can't win, stay calm."

Forcibly suppressing the urge to spar with Ning Bei, Qian Daoliu pointed to the door with an annoyed tone, the meaning of which was self-evident: get out of here.

Ning Bei wasn't annoyed. After smiling, she returned to the main hall, greeted the elders, and left the Spirit Hall without looking back, heading towards Seagod Island. In truth, Ning Bei was still somewhat disappointed at not being able to see the little angel, especially since the bed in the Ice God Palace was covered in dust. But there was still a long time ahead, and there was no need to dwell on it.

After several trips, Ningbei had become very familiar with the road to Poseidon Island. There were no major incidents along the way until Ningbei approached the edge of Poseidon Island and discovered an interesting scene.

Shan Shan arrived beside Poseidon, who was in the air, and Ning Bei watched the movements on the sea with great interest.

Poseidon froze, only breathing a sigh of relief when she turned and saw Ning Bei. At the same time, she was secretly surprised that she hadn't noticed Ning Bei's arrival. This could only mean that in the two years since they last met, the young man's strength had become even more terrifying, or that he had already reached that level.

"Are you a god?"

Shaking his head, Ningbei rejected Poseidon's guess.

"No, it's only part of the ninth test. The next stage can only begin after the Ice God Set is fully fused."

"I see."

This also explains why Poseidon clearly felt that Ningbei's strength had improved again; it was because of the assessment.

After two years of illusory journey, Ningbei's senses of time and space have become clearer, and with the integration of these senses into the field of permafrost, his strength has naturally improved.

"The children are now undergoing the final test of the fourth exam: assisting the Demon Soul Great White Shark in defeating the Evil Orca King. This test will assess their teamwork skills."

"Ah."

Without asking any further questions, Ningbei couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as she looked at the small group of children standing on the ice floes below.

With just a glance, Ning Bei could sense everyone's progress. The strongest among them, Dugu Yan, had already reached the level of a quasi-Soul Douluo, and was only one Soul Ring away from breaking through.

The little rabbit was not to be outdone, almost overtaking Dugu Yan in terms of cultivation level. Its soul power fluctuations were between level 78 and 79, while Long Nianbing was around level 75. The others were not much different, but all of them were above Soul Saint. Only Nami and Zhu Zhuqing were currently at the Quasi-Soul Saint level, and they would need a suitable soul ring to enter the Soul Saint level.

"How's your cultivation progressing?"

"That's really good. It seems they haven't been slacking off."

"Heh, they do want to slack off, but the assessment is always looming over them, so they have no choice."

Hearing Poseidon's words, Ning Bei couldn't help but smile. The scene of Ning Rongrong chirping crickets softly while trying to complete the assessment flashed through her mind, which seemed particularly amusing.

Just as the two were talking, the calm sea began to surge with turbulent waves. Poseidon looked at the sea expressionlessly and said:
"They're here. Success or failure depends on this battle."

As Poseidon finished speaking, the two colossal creatures in the sea revealed their true forms. The first to appear on the surface was the Demon Soul Great White Shark, also known as Little White, who had met Ning Bei once before. Behind it was a ferocious, jet-black whale-like soul beast with a body length of nearly fifty meters and terrifying fangs. This must be the Demon Orca King that Poseidon had mentioned.

Faced with the colossal creature coming from the deep sea, the little ones looked a little nervous for a moment, but they quickly began to perform their respective duties, clearly having undergone a considerable period of team practice.

"Nami, your chance has come."

"Understood, Rongrong. Behold my Source Water Barrier."

The surge of soul power in front of Nami made Ningbei in the air raise an eyebrow; this was a move he had never seen before.

Indeed, this is the case. This move is a self-created soul skill that Nami developed over two years based on her first soul skill. It is a move that infinitely extends and enlarges water bubbles to control the opponent. However, as one of the ocean's overlords, it remains to be seen whether this move will be effective against the Demon Orca King.

A massive water sphere, stretching hundreds of meters, instantly enveloped the Demon Orca King behind Xiaobai. As an aquatic soul beast, the Demon Orca King did not feel any discomfort, but rather looked around curiously.

Seeing the target enter the source water barrier, Ning Rongrong excitedly clenched her fist, and then the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was quickly released.
