Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 298: Heart of Poseidon
Just as the Vast Ocean Universe Cover enveloped Shui Bing'er, the Sea God's divine sense not only examined Shui Bing'er's body and talent, but also her soul.

Because Yang Xiong had previously mastered the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, his spiritual power, along with the divine thought of the Sea God within the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, allowed him to see Shui Bing'er's past, and even all of Shui Bing'er's past thoughts.

Judging from the sea god's appearance, he probably wanted to ascertain whether his successor could truly carry on his sea god's ideology and bring peace to the sea.

Under the watchful eyes of Yang Xiong and the Sea God, it seemed as if they saw all of Shui Bing'er's past, including all the things Shui Bing'er had experienced from childhood to adulthood, including the choices Shui Bing'er made when facing all things, including how Shui Bing'er had always trained hard and tried to become stronger while also taking care of the entire team.

According to Shui Bing'er's spirit, the Ice Phoenix should be more suitable for a power-attack type spirit master, but as the captain, Shui Bing'er actually chose a control type spirit master who is not very suitable.

Even so, Shui Bing'er still displayed extremely terrifying talent. In the Soul Master Competition back then, she was the strongest control-type Soul Master in the Tian Dou region. Even now, she still cultivates both control and power attack types at the same time, and is also a top performer in both types.

Judging from her past experiences, Shui Bing'er is an exceptionally gentle girl, but she is also incredibly resolute when facing any problem, decisive, and even has a certain spirit of sacrifice.

Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix was not perfect at the beginning, just like Ma Hongjun's Fire Phoenix had evil fire. The original Ice Phoenix was also prone to going out of control.

However, Shui Bing'er used her strong willpower to cultivate diligently and reached a high level. The Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower made Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix perfect. Even during the Tide Body Training, under the tempering of the Sea God's power, the Ice Phoenix became even stronger.

……

When Yang Xiong saw the recent footage of Shui Bing'er, he was completely stunned.

However, Yang Xiong had no time to think about such things. Clearly, Shui Bing'er had already gained the approval of the Sea God's divine sense. Whether it was her aptitude, personality, or even her level of effort, she was perfect.

Yang Xiong didn't dwell on it too much. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to sever the connection between the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and himself.

Even though Yang Xiong was incredibly powerful, the moment the connection was severed, his entire spiritual sea felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow. Fortunately, the soul bone in his head manifested immediately, and his spiritual power was able to regenerate endlessly and remain immortal in that instant.

The dangers involved far exceeded what others could imagine. The Heart of the Sea God was a true divine artifact, and one that had an owner. Although Yang Xiong's mental strength had reached the level of a Limit Douluo, there was still a certain gap between him and a god. Forcibly raising his mental strength to the limit was like fighting a god.

Upon switching to the Vast Ocean Universe Cover after contacting Yang Xiong, a deep blue figure appeared. This figure was none other than the Sea God that Yang Xiong had encountered before.

The sea god seemed to point at Shui Bing'er from afar, and the azure light began to merge into Shui Bing'er's mind, while the Vast Ocean Universe Cover also transformed into a blue light and flew directly into Shui Bing'er's body.

After an unknown amount of time, Shui Bing'er slowly woke up. She looked as if she had experienced a great battle, or as if her mental sea had been severely damaged.

Ning Rongrong, who was standing nearby, quickly asked, "Little Bear, what's wrong with Sister Bing'er? Did she receive the Sea God's inheritance?"

Yang Xiong nodded: "Shui Bing'er has outstanding talent and an extremely resolute character. She has indeed gained the approval of the Sea God."

"However, her path ahead will likely be very difficult. Truly obtaining the Sea God's inheritance will be extremely challenging, and she may even face countless life-or-death situations. I hope she can successfully complete the test."

Shui Bing'er bowed slightly to Yang Xiong: "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master. I will definitely strive to become a god and carry forward the Body Sect."

Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Sister Bing'er, don't be so serious. We are all teammates and members of the sect. I hope you will remember my words and keep in mind the things that a Sea God inheritor should pay attention to."

Although the others envied Shui Bing'er for gaining the approval of the Heart of the Sea God, they were all happy for her.

Just as Yang Xiong had predicted, after Shui Bing'er gained the approval of the Heart of the Sea God, she had obtained the right to use the Heart of the Sea God and was able to use its four soul skills.

With these four soul skills, Shui Bing'er's combat ability in water will be greatly enhanced, and her subsequent actions will be more convenient.

Yang Xiong addressed everyone, saying, "Everyone has just returned from the front lines. Take a few days to rest, and we'll be setting off in a couple of days."

Ning Rongrong asked, somewhat puzzled, "Are we going to Poseidon Island again?"

Yang Xiong nodded: "Not only Seagod Island, we also need to go out to sea, where I can find the ninth spirit ring I want."

"Of course, it is also crucial for you. This battle will be extremely dangerous, but it will also be very beneficial to you."

Upon hearing this, everyone left on their own. As Shui Bing'er left, a hint of shyness appeared on her face as she looked at Yang Xiong, but this shyness quickly vanished, replaced by her usual warm and calm expression. After everyone else had left, Yang Xiong sat down with Ning Rongrong in his arms. The two had been apart for a while, and during this time, they had both experienced a lot and had much to say to each other.

As for the look Shui Bing'er gave him when she left, Yang Xiong understood the meaning behind it, but he didn't really want to think about it too much. The situation was still uncertain, and he didn't have much time left.

At the same time, another voice echoed in Yang Xiong's mind.

"Yang Xiong, the fifth of the Nine Trials of Asura, is to find a new master for the Heart of the Sea God. Shui Bing'er has already gained the Heart of the Sea God's approval. The trial is complete. You are rewarded with 10% Asura Affinity, bringing your total Affinity to 60%."

Although Yang Xiong had expected this, he still breathed a sigh of relief, since this stage was the most unpredictable of all the assessments.

Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, seemed a little unwilling: "Little Bear, why didn't I receive the Sea God's inheritance? Just now, I felt a connection with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover."

Yang Xiong looked at Ning Rongrong in his arms and couldn't help but laugh.

“Rongrong, the path to godhood is not so simple. There are not only difficulties and obstacles in the process, but also the martial soul must match the corresponding godhood. Shui Bing’er’s ice attribute is the same as that of the Sea God. Her strength in the ocean in the future will be beyond imagination, and may even surpass the Sea God of that time.”

"As for you, becoming a god depends on opportunity. Sooner or later you will encounter a divine succession that suits you, and that will be the time when you truly have a hard time."

……

In the realm of gods, within the Temple of Asura.

The Asura God looked at the huge light screen in front of him, which displayed Shui Bing'er.

"Sea God, you should be happy now. This Shui Bing'er is excellent in every way and should be able to become your perfect successor to the divine. At that time, your sea will be under her rule, and there will be peace on the sea."

A smile appeared in Poseidon's eyes: "Shui Bing'er is indeed quite good. When she first came to Poseidon Island, her strength was indeed a little lacking, and she also lacked opportunities. However, with Yang Xiong's help now, passing the test should not be too difficult."

"It's a bit of a pity. Shui Bing'er only has her ninth spirit ring left. I'm afraid she won't be able to absorb the little goldfish I left behind back then."

The God of Asura said helplessly, "God of the Sea, you're overthinking things. Given the current situation, Yang Xiong will probably go find your little whale. As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things are born. This will also benefit your Shui Bing'er."

Poseidon's eyes revealed a hint of speechlessness: "Isn't it you who will truly benefit? If you really let him set up this sixth level of assessment, this Yang Xiong, although he is quite strong, may not be able to defeat my little whale."

"You should know that on the entire Douluo Continent, my little whale has reached the pinnacle of soul beasts, especially in the ocean. I'm afraid even a Limit Douluo can't do anything to it."

The Asura God said, "If there's no difficulty at all, how can it be considered an assessment? Besides, with Yang Xiong's current strength, he's already one of the strongest in Douluo Continent, not to mention he also has the Asura Demon Sword in his hand."

"However, I am a little curious about how Yang Xiong will deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and this family. I hope he won't disappoint me."

Poseidon shook his head: "I don't know about that. The Deep Sea Demon Whale clan is the strongest soul beast race in the ocean, and also the strongest soul beast. They improve themselves by devouring sea soul beasts, but they are extremely lazy and gentle in nature, unlike the Demon Orca which is bloodthirsty and murderous."

"Do you think Yang Xiong will eliminate the threat completely, or will he leave a future problem?"

The Asura God said solemnly, "If Yang Xiong can eradicate the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, I will be very happy, but I will also be very disappointed."

"As you said, the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan is born needing to devour soul beasts to increase its strength, but they are gentle in nature and are not evil soul beasts at all. However, their existence will cause damage to the sea. Perhaps this is the tragedy of the soul beast clan."

"You should know that what I care about most is order. My successor must maintain order, but not too much, otherwise it will be too extreme and may even cause new destruction. Therefore, I hope that the new Asura God is a normal person with flesh and blood and feelings, not a monster who only knows how to maintain order."

……

At this moment, Yang Xiong's mind already displayed the content of the sixth trial of the Asura God.

"Yang Xiong, the sixth of the Nine Trials of Asura, you have obtained the ninth soul ring and the torso soul bone. You must not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and you must not leave any hidden dangers. The trial period is one year. Failure will result in your elimination."

When Yang Xiong saw the test content, he was also puzzled. Logically speaking, the God of Asura should know that the purpose of his ninth soul ring is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, so why did he set up such a test? Does the God of Asura also know about the existence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife and children, and even guess that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's wife will bring disaster to the world in the future?
