Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong

After answering Bibi Dong in his heart, Su Mo turned his gaze to the Heavenly Ladder in front of him, took a step, and walked up.

After breaking through to the Soul Saint realm, Su Mo found walking on it much easier.

Without using the Killing God Domain or the Eight Spider Lances to enhance himself, Su Mo directly reached the 250th step.

It wasn't until after he arrived here that Su Mo felt that heavy pressure again.

Su Mo's first test as the Sea God was to climb 298 steps, and now he was only 48 steps away.

Su Mo is now able to climb 250 steps on his own without using any other assistance, so the remaining 48 steps will not be too difficult for him.

Moreover, aside from Su Mo's own unused powers, Su Mo can actually still obtain the amplification from Ning Rongrong's soul skills.

So now, if Su Mo is willing, he can pass the first hurdle directly.

However, after glancing at the above, Su Mo did not choose to clear the level immediately.

There are still more than three months left until the one-year deadline, so there's no rush.

Su Mo also needs to ensure that Ning Rongrong can pass the test.

Su Mo looked back down and saw Ning Rongrong cultivating on the 92nd step.

Ye Lingling was in a similar position, around the 90th step.

"Only 92 steps?"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's progress, Su Mo frowned slightly.

At this rate, three months from now, Ning Rongrong might not be able to reach the 136th step on her own!

Ye Lingling should be able to complete the assessment, since she only needs to climb 108 steps.

Ye Lingling has already reached level 90. Even if she's a little short in three months, with Ning Rongrong's soul skill assistance, she'll definitely be fine.

On the contrary, Ning Rongrong herself was unable to cast auxiliary soul skills on herself.

The fact that support-type Soul Masters cannot provide support to themselves is a very frustrating design flaw.

Food-type Soul Masters are better off; although they are also support-type, they can still eat the food they create themselves.

It seems that the effect is only half that of others, but Oscar seems to be special, as the effect of eating the food he makes is 100%.

In the original story, when the Shrek Seven Devils passed the first test of the Sea God, the others all received Ning Rongrong's assistance and then passed the first test.

Ning Rongrong, however, almost failed the test because she couldn't get his help, and only managed to pass with Tang San's help.

"With Rongrong's abilities, it will be extremely difficult for her to climb to the 136th step on her own!"

"But can't you use Spirit Fusion Techniques?"

"Your Martial Soul Fusion Skill isn't exactly an offensive Soul Skill, so it should be usable within the Light of the Sea God. You can complete it together then!"

"Don't even mention 136 steps, you can all climb 300 or 400 steps together!"

At this moment, Bibi Dong's voice rang in Su Mo's mind once again.

"Oh right, I almost forgot!"

Su Mo was overjoyed upon hearing Bibi Dong's words.

He almost forgot that his main goal was for Ning Rongrong to pass the first exam on her own.

However, since Ning Rongrong can't do it by herself, let's do it together.

After figuring this out, Su Mo immediately stopped worrying about Ning Rongrong's situation.

Su Mo didn't tell Ning Rongrong in advance, so that Ning Rongrong would also know that it was a good thing to work hard in her cultivation.

Who could blame Ning Rongrong for not thinking of this solution herself?

……

Shrek Academy.

In the dean's office, Yu Xiaogang was taking notes with some irritation, scribbling on a piece of paper.

Yu Xiaogang is designing the current Shrek team's combat strategy.

"Hey--"

Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and sighed deeply.

"There are only three months left. Is it really true that the mistress won't be coming back?"

"Mistress, where are you going now?"

"Is there no way for him to come back?"

Yu Xiaogang never expected that Tang San would still not return even though the Soul Master Competition was about to begin.

He had been vaguely worried before, and now he was somewhat desperate.

He knew Tang San's character; Tang San had promised him, so if he could come back, Tang San would definitely come back.

The fact that Tang San hasn't returned yet can only mean one thing: he's trapped somewhere or under some circumstances and can't come back.

Now, Yu Xiaogang only hopes that Tang San will be able to make it back in time.

He didn't even dare to think about how to integrate with the team.

The only thing that could make him somewhat happy was that, besides Dai Mubai, Oscar and Ma Hongjun had also broken through level 50 and become Soul Kings.

Even if Tang San doesn't return, the Shrek Academy team already has three Soul Kings.

"Boss Dai, do you think Tang San isn't coming back?"

"Then it'll just be the three of us!"

Like Yu Xiaogang, Ma Hongjun and the others also worried about Tang San's return.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar, the three original members of the Shrek Academy team, gathered together and started talking about Tang San.

"Tang San said he would come back, so he should come back!"

Oscar muttered a worried sigh.

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun and Oscar's words, a shadow crossed Dai Mubai's eyes.

He was even more anxious about Tang San's return than Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

Because he knew Tang San's strength. Tang San should have broken through to the Soul King level by now, and his combat power would only be stronger than theirs.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Dai Mubai was very clear that Tang San was much stronger than him.

Therefore, Dai Mubai looks forward to Tang San's return. Only when Tang San returns will the current Shrek Academy team become stronger.

That would make it more likely that he would become the champion of this Soul Master Competition.

He really needs this championship right now.

Only if his team wins the championship will he be qualified to go back and compete with his older brother Davis for the position of crown prince.

Although he seemed to have heard that his elder brother Davis was basically going to be made crown prince.

Even if he wins the championship this time, it won't change anything when he goes back.

But he still hoped to win the championship; it was the only hope he could see in his despair.

As for Zhu Zhuqing's betrayal, he ignored it as well.

If you think about it carefully, Zhu Zhuqing's betrayal will also implicate him. It can be said that since Zhu Zhuqing betrayed the Star Luo Empire, he has already lost the qualification to compete for the crown prince position.

It's just that Dai Mubai is unwilling to accept it.

He felt that even if he couldn't win, he still had to win a championship to prove himself and show that he was also excellent.

"Tang San should be back in time!"

"Besides, even if Tang San doesn't come back, we still have three Soul Kings, so what's there to worry about!"

Dai Mubai smiled and said to Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

Although he was even more anxious than Oscar and Ma Hongjun, he didn't show it.

"Haha, yes!"

"Boss Dai is right. Even if Tang San doesn't come back, the three of us are all Soul Kings, so winning a championship shouldn't be a problem!"

Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, Ma Hongjun immediately smiled in agreement.

He was very proud of himself for being able to cultivate to the Soul King level before this Soul Master Competition.

"That would only work if Su Mo and Ning Rongrong didn't participate in this Soul Master Competition!"

"Otherwise, the three of us would have a hard time defeating Su Mo and Ning Rongrong!"

Oscar, however, was not as optimistic as Ma Hongjun; instead, he sighed with some concern.

Upon hearing Oscar's words, Ma Hongjun, who had been quite smug, froze with a smile.

Yes, if Su Mo and Ning Rongrong also continue to participate in this Soul Master Competition, then it's really hard to say what will happen.

"What level do you think Su Mo and Ning Rongrong have reached in their cultivation?"

"If we can all break through to the Soul King level, they certainly can too. The only question is how much their soul power level surpasses ours now!"

Then, Ma Hongjun curiously began to guess Su Mo and Ning Rongrong's current soul power levels.
