Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 259 Sanyuan Island, Three Ferocious Beasts
During this period, Zhou Sichen's life became extremely pure. Apart from immersing himself in cultivation, he devoted the rest of his time to fighting against the Poison Undying, thereby constantly honing his original martial soul.

Although his physical spirit currently only has two spirit rings attached, the boost it gives to Zhou Sichen's strength is earth-shattering.

Previously, Zhou Sichen's use of his physical martial soul was mostly limited to mental detection.

But after these days of intense battles with the Poison Undying, the combination of several soul skills and soul bone skills has gradually become integrated and mastered through the tempering of actual combat, and they are becoming more and more adept at using them.

This high-intensity, high-pressure training lasted for more than half a month.

It wasn't until Zhou Sichen's original martial soul reached the limit of its second awakening that Du Busi finally stopped this rigorous training of Zhou Sichen.

To ensure that Zhou Sichen's second awakening of his original martial soul would go smoothly, Du Busi took Zhou Sichen away from the Original Body Sect after making all the preparations he could think of.

The two traveled eastward and entered the vast and boundless sea.

Along the way, Zhou Sichen didn't ask a single question, but silently followed behind Du Busi, heading deeper into the sea.

The waves surged and the sea breeze howled, making the two appear so small on the vast ocean.

It took them a full week to finally reach a magnificent, triangular-shaped sea glacier.

Poison Immortal told him that this glacier had its own unique name—Sanyuan Island.

The two hovered above Sanyuan Island. Du Busi, with a serious expression, slowly spoke to Zhou Sichen:

"Now your first martial soul, the soul ring of your main martial soul, and your soul bone have all been sealed. From now on, you can only rely on the power of your main martial soul itself."

He paused, his gaze fixed on Zhou Sichen's eyes, and continued, "In a moment, you will face a true life-or-death crisis. During this difficult process, I will not lend a hand. Whether you can successfully complete your second awakening depends entirely on how you deal with this situation and how you survive in this desperate situation."

Hearing Du Bu Si's heavy words, Zhou Si Chen nodded silently.

During the week he had been in the area, Poison Undying had informed him in detail of the dangers and difficulties he might encounter.

Zhou Sichen was well aware that every step he took from here on out would be like walking on thin ice, and the only thing he could rely on was the power of his original martial soul.

As long as one can keenly grasp that fleeting moment of enlightenment during a crisis, there is hope of completely completing a second awakening and achieving a leap in strength.

Zhou Sichen took a deep breath, calming the long-lost tension in his heart: "Sect Master, I'm going."

Poison Immortal nodded solemnly and replied with a single word: "Go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Busi used his soul power to steadily send Zhou Sichen to Sanyuan Island.

After that, he simply hovered quietly in mid-air, silently watching, without making any other unnecessary movements.

Only after Zhou Sichen set foot on this mysterious island did he truly realize just how vast Sanyuan Island really is.

A biting wind howled past, and the temperature was chillingly low.

Fortunately, Zhou Sichen's main martial soul fused the power of extreme ice and extreme fire elements, so the biting cold was not enough to affect him.

He gazed into the distance and saw three deep entrances scattered across the island, like three profound eyes gazing upon the world.

According to the previous introduction by Du Busi, the three entrances conceal different dangers, corresponding to the Trials of Fire, Ice, and Light respectively.

When a typical Soul Master from the Body Sect comes to complete their second awakening, they only need to choose one of the trials to basically achieve their goal.

However, Zhou Sichen's situation was completely different. Because his original martial soul contained the ultimate ice and fire elements, he had to undergo all three trials at the same time in order to truly complete his second awakening.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Sichen set his sights on the rightmost entrance to the Trial of Light.

He possesses both extreme ice and extreme fire, so let's go and see what this mysterious Trial of Light is all about.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Zhou Sichen, who was always very cautious, seemed to have never truly experienced such a desperate situation before.

The poison above, seemingly unaffected, watched Zhou Sichen walk step by step into the central entrance and couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Boy, you are the most talented successor in the history of the Body Sect. As long as you can successfully pass these three trials and complete the second awakening."

"From now on, I will listen to you and venture into this world with you, to give it a try!"

The reason why Du Bu Si felt this way was because of the nearly one month they had spent together day and night.

During this period, through Zhou Sichen's words and actions, he was able to vaguely guess what the young man was thinking.

Zhou Sichen's occasional, deliberate expressions of concern for the situation in the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the unwavering glint in his eyes when discussing future plans, all revealed Du Busi's ambitions.

However, as the homeland of the Body Sect, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and with Vina being the imperial princess, many matters are intertwined and complex, and cannot be easily decided in just a few words.

However, if Zhou Sichen can truly bring huge benefits to the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire through his own abilities, then Du Busi would not mind choosing to follow Zhou Sichen and lend him a hand.

After all, Zhou Sichen is also a citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Considering both emotions and interests, this might be a worthwhile option to try.

Just as Du Busi was sighing inwardly, suddenly, red, blue, and gold streams of light shot out from inside Sanyuan Island like lightning, arriving in front of Du Busi in the blink of an eye.

Each streak of light exuded a terrifying aura that chilled the heart, an aura as powerful as that of a ferocious beast.

Strangely, however, these three streaks of light showed no malice towards Poison Undying.

Seeing this, Du Busi smiled gently and stood quietly in place without making any defensive moves.

In the blink of an eye, three beams of light slowly coalesced, transforming into three human figures.

The red figure was actually a humanoid starfish, leisurely holding a unique lava coral from the deep sea in its mouth. With each gentle inhale, it would exhale wisps of smoke that could confuse the mind and incite rage.

The blue figure was a humanoid octopus, currently holding a deep-sea specialty, the Ice Flame Scallop, and eating it with great relish, as if nothing in the world could compare to this delicious taste.

The golden humanoid was the most peculiar, resembling a sponge that had cultivated itself into a spirit, radiating a dazzling golden light that was so bright it seemed to blind anyone who looked at it too closely.

Although these three figures still retained some characteristics of soul beasts, their ability to transform into human form with their powerful cultivation was enough to prove that they all possessed at least the strength of ferocious beasts.

However, judging from their overall aura, the cultivation levels of these three ferocious beasts are at most comparable to that of the Crimson King, with the highest cultivation level being only over 300,000 years.

For a level 98 Super Douluo like Du Busi, there was absolutely no fear.

Surprisingly, the Poison Immortal, with such high cultivation, actually bowed respectfully to the three ferocious beasts and said in an extremely humble manner:

"Seniors, this lad is the future hope of our Body Sect. I'm afraid you'll have to work hard this time."

The three ferocious beasts chuckled upon hearing this.

The red ferocious beast Sakas spoke first, its voice hoarse yet full of power: "I sensed it. This kid, like you, possesses a physical martial soul, and the ice and fire elemental power hidden within him is far more terrifying than mine and Qingzhang's."

Qingzhang Kuzan nodded and echoed, "Red Star is absolutely right. I also clearly felt that extreme icy power, which is the goal I have always dreamed of and pursued!"

A kind smile appeared on Polusalimian's relaxed face as he said, "Don't worry, since this child is the successor of your Body Sect and possesses such top-notch talent, we will definitely take action ourselves to give him a good test."

Upon hearing this, Du Busi's smile deepened, and he said sincerely again, "Thank you all three of you." Polusali waved his hand dismissively and said, "This is nothing more than a cooperation, after all, it's an agreement between us and your predecessors from the Body Sect."

"Back then, he saved our lives, which is why we set up these three trials for your Body Sect, specifically to help your Body Sect disciples complete the second awakening of their Body Martial Soul."

As Porusalimian said, these three ferocious beasts had received a great favor from the Body Sect a thousand years ago.

Since then, although the two sides are on opposing sides, they have reached a certain cooperative relationship.

These three ferocious beasts have all cultivated for over 200,000 years, with the strongest, Sakas Star, having cultivated for over 300,000 years.

Even in the deep sea of ​​this world of soul beasts, these three ferocious beasts can be considered overlords of their own territory.

Among them, the main body of Sakas Star is a lava starfish. Although it is a sea spirit beast, it has very unique habits and feeds on seabed magma.

It is precisely because of this that it has mastered the terrifying power of lava, and the scorching magma, under its control, has become an indestructible weapon.

Polusali Mian's true form is a laser sponge, a very special type of sea spirit beast.

The original Yellow Sponge was a weak species, mostly relying on absorbing water as a simple means of offense and defense.

But by chance, their ancestors found a special kind of mineral.

Since then, their species have fed on this special mineral, and through countless years of evolution, the originally ordinary sponge has gradually evolved into the powerful laser sponge we know today.

Now, they can not only absorb the energy of sunlight for cultivation, but also use the power of light to evolve from weak soul beasts that were once at the mercy of others into a super race.

As their strength increased, their territory expanded and their population grew.

Qingzhang Kuzan's true form is an Ice Soul Octopus, which possesses powerful ice elemental abilities. Within the Ice Soul Octopus's territory lies a unique, extremely cold ice mine.

The long-term effects of the ore from this vein are barely comparable to the effects of the Extreme Cold Ice Marrow. However, only the Ice Soul Octopus clan, with its unique digestive system, can absorb this special deep-sea ore.

It is precisely because of these unique conditions and their own unique abilities that the Ice Soul Octopus clan has become so powerful.

After establishing contact with the Body Sect, the three patriarchs of these three races joined forces to create the unique Trial Grounds of Sanyuan Island.

This place can not only help members of the Body Sect complete the second awakening of their Body Martial Soul, but also serve as an excellent training ground for their descendants.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone, without delaying either. For thousands of years, the two sides have developed and progressed together through this tacit cooperation.

At this moment, Zhou Sichen, who had just stepped into the entrance of the Trial of Light, was completely unaware of everything that was happening outside the cave.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, he keenly sensed the unusual surroundings.

The seemingly ordinary entrance, once he entered, seemed to instantly open a door to another dimension, as if he had entered a strange world filled with sunlight.

As far as the eye can see, the interior of the glacier is studded with strange minerals that radiate a brilliant golden light.

Zhou Sichen's eyes lit up instantly. As a top-notch soul master with high attainments in the field of soul tools, he had in-depth research on various ores and extraordinary sensitivity.

With just one glance, he recognized these ores as gold essence stones.

These are all excellent materials for making high-explosive soul tools. In the making of soul tools, the value of gold essence stone is immeasurable. Its scarcity and preciousness drive countless soul tool masters crazy.

Gazing at the golden essence stones covering the mountains and plains before him, Zhou Sichen felt an overwhelming surge of emotion, and even murmured to himself:
"So many gold essence stones! If we take them all back, we'll be rich!"

He had already begun to imagine how many powerful soul tools he could forge with these gold essence stones.

This is undoubtedly an irresistible treasure trove for Soul Masters.

In this magnificent world adorned with golden stones, a light source as bright as the sun hangs high above.

The dazzling light was like countless sharp golden needles, piercing straight into his eyes.

The intense light made Zhou Sichen feel as if his eyes were being burned by the blinding golden light after just one glance. A sharp pain struck him, and he felt as if he would go blind in the next second.

Even with his eyes already possessing special abilities, he dared not look directly at the dazzling golden light above.

Left with no other choice, Zhou Sichen could only immediately close his eyes, trying to avoid looking directly at the intense light.

However, he was not flustered, because he still possessed a powerful mental strength comparable to that of an ordinary Title Douluo.

At this moment, he circulated his mental energy, spreading it out like an invisible net, and began to perceive everything around him.

With this powerful mental strength, he could still clearly perceive the subtle differences in his surroundings.

He was acutely aware of the location of every piece of gold essence stone, the flow of air in the air, and even the faintest sounds coming from afar.

Meanwhile, within the spiritual sea that was unilaterally shielded by Zhou Sichen, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor were sensing the external environment.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a hint of doubt and wariness.

Zhou Sichen shielded them to prevent Tianmeng and Bingdi from interfering with his second awakening. Therefore, although they could not communicate with Zhou Sichen, they could still sense the changes in the outside world.

Hyotei frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Something's not right here. From the moment Sichen arrived on the island, I sensed the aura of three ferocious beasts. Although their strength is at most 300,000 years, but..."

Hyotei didn't finish his sentence, but his worry was obvious.

With her knowledge and keen senses, she naturally understood that a place where three ferocious beasts lived must be hiding many unknown dangers.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded vigorously and echoed, "That's right, that's right, I felt it too."

"How come three ferocious beasts live on this Sanyuan Island? And they can even coexist peacefully? This is really intriguing."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has lived in the world of soul beasts for a long time and is well aware of the complex relationships between soul beasts.

Especially powerful ferocious beasts, which have a strong sense of territory, it is really illogical that three ferocious beasts can live peacefully together on the same island.

After a moment of contemplation, Ice Emperor slowly said, "Since the Sect Master of the Body Sect has chosen this place, he must have reached some kind of cooperation with those three ferocious beasts."

"There's nothing we can do to help right now; we can only wait and see."

Hyotei's analysis was not without merit. She knew that under these circumstances, rash action would only cause more trouble. The only thing they could do at the moment was to wait for Zhou Sichen to successfully complete the trial.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed and said helplessly, "It seems that this is the only way now."

After saying that, it and Hyotei quietly stayed in the Sea of ​​Spirit, closely watching every move in the outside world.

They silently prayed for Zhou Sichen, hoping that he could safely overcome this life-or-death test and successfully complete the second awakening of his original martial soul.

　The second awakening of the Body Sect only mentions experiencing life-or-death crises or similar methods, so this kind of place was set up.

　　Brothers, feel free to offer any better suggestions.
