Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

After everyone passed the fifth test, the content of the sixth test appeared in Yang Ping'an's mind.

"Yang Ping'an, Red Level One Test Part Six, leads Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu to accept the challenge of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island, to last for one hour, with a time limit of one year."

Yang Ping'an finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned about the assessment content. Of all the assessments on Poseidon Island, the sixth one was actually the one Yang Ping'an feared the most.

Since everyone defeated each titled Douluo without using any tricks and simply followed the normal challenge process, the sixth trial was considered normal.

It should be noted that in the original novel, Tang San used a trick, taking advantage of the time difference to challenge the Title Douluo, which reduced the difficulty of his continuous battles. In the end, the examiner of the sixth trial became the Sea God Douluo Poseidon.

Although Yang Ping'an was very confident in his strength, he had virtually no chance against a level 99 Peerless Douluo. Just like in the Raging Waves, Poseidon could control the waves of the entire Raging Waves with just a slight move, and could also make hundreds of thousands of pounds of deep-sea silver pillars emerge from the sea. If she really wanted to show her strength, she could absolutely destroy the world.

However, if it were just the Seven Sacred Pillars of Poseidon Island, Yang Ping'an was absolutely confident that he could hold out for an hour, and even had a certain degree of certainty that he could defeat them.

The five of them didn't hesitate, especially since Yang Ping'an was their leader on the field, making the battle much easier. So they immediately prepared for the assessment.

The location for this assessment is in front of Poseidon's palace, which is one of the largest palaces on the entire island of Poseidon, besides the Temple of Poseidon.

Before the enormous palace, Poseidon stood at the highest point presiding over the assessment, while Yang Ping'an and his five companions, along with the seven teams of the Seagod Island's Seven Sacred Pillars, stood on either side of the arena. This was the final test of the Black-level Sixth Trial.

Clearly, both sides attach great importance to this assessment. The Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island have all been Title Douluo for many years, and especially since they have lived together for many years, their cooperation will be very seamless.

However, they also dared not underestimate Yang Ping'an and his group of five. Although they had never fought against Yang Ping'an, they were well aware of his spirit ring configuration and that his strength was not to be underestimated.

They had recently fought against Shui Bing'er and her three companions, and knew their talent and strength well; each of them was definitely at the level of a Title Douluo.

With a wave of his hand, both sides summoned their martial souls and soul rings. When Yang Ping'an's soul rings of two purple, four black, and two red appeared, the entire audience was moved, and even Poseidon showed a hint of seriousness.

With Poseidon's command, a giant timer began to tick, and the challenge officially began.

Yang Ping'an and his group of five adopted a 2-2-1 formation. Shui Bing'er and Huo Huowu controlled the rear, while Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang formed the flanks, protecting the two behind them and assisting Yang Ping'an from the outside.

Yang Ping'an himself formed a single arrowhead, aiming to launch a strong attack and intimidate the opponent.

As the match began, Yang Ping'an instantly transformed into a dragon, charging forward like a golden dragon, seemingly about to smash everything aside. The other four followed closely behind, clearly indicating that Yang Ping'an intended to launch a strong offensive and crush the enemy in one fell swoop.

The Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island have a similar lineup, but since there are seven of them, they adopt a 2-2-3 formation. At the back are Sea Illusion Douluo and Sea Star Douluo, who act as controllers. In the middle are Sea Demon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo, and at the front are Sea Ghost Douluo, Sea Dragon Douluo, and Sea Spear Douluo. It is basically a strong offensive lineup, with Sea Dragon Douluo being the very front and center arrowhead of the team.

Since the start of the competition, Hailong Douluo has also been leading the charge, aiming to challenge Yang Ping'an's group of five with sheer numbers and high soul power levels.

As the two sides clashed, Yang Ping'an went head-to-head with Hailong Douluo. In just a moment, both of them were forced back several meters. However, Hailong Douluo seemed to look a bit pale. He never expected that a dignified level 95 Title Douluo would be forced back by a Soul Douluo.

Meanwhile, Sea Spear Douluo faced off against Feng Xiaotian, and Sea Ghost Douluo faced off against Huo Wushuang. The two sides clashed instantly.

As the one in charge of controlling the situation, Shui Bing'er's soul power flashed, and she quickly used her first soul skill: Ice Seal. An ice pillar instantly flew out from under the feet of the seven people opposite her, seemingly turning into blocks of ice.

If fighting on land, Shui Bing'er's ice can only barely envelop the enemy for a moment, after all, this is only her first soul skill and a group control skill. However, in the sea, the effect of this move seems to be infinitely amplified, directly turning all the enemies into huge blocks of ice, and the cold air seems to be spreading.

However, Shui Bing'er was only a quasi-Soul Douluo, while the seven opponents were all Title Douluos. In just an instant, all the ice on the seven people shattered. With Shui Bing'er's current strength, it was almost impossible for her to trap a Title Douluo unless her ice attribute could evolve into ultimate ice.

But this moment also created an opportunity for Yang Ping'an and his two companions. Now it was five against seven, especially since the enemy's soul power level was at least ten levels higher than their own. They absolutely could not engage in a prolonged battle and had to finish the fight quickly.

Especially when it's five against seven, the enemy can clearly adopt a strategy similar to Tian Ji's horse racing, which involves holding back the opponent's main force and then attacking their weak points. This is the biggest impact of the numerical disparity.

Yang Ping'an immediately activated his eighth soul skill, the second one: the Golden Demon Dragon Sword. A golden longsword over two meters long appeared in his hand. Not only did the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island look a little solemn, but even Poseidon paused for a moment.

In the world of Soul Masters, there are a very few Soul Skills that can be formed into weapons, but the probability is extremely low. Throughout the original work, only Tang San and Qian Renxue have such Soul Skills.

Yang Ping'an's soul skill is even more terrifying. After all, it comes from a 100,000-year soul ring, and it is a divinely bestowed soul ring. This golden longsword must have the power to match a 100,000-year soul ring. You should know that a divinely bestowed soul ring can automatically match the soul master with suitable skills.

Yang Ping'an held the Golden Demon Dragon Sword and gently swung it at the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island. The golden sword energy slid out and seemed capable of slicing the seven people apart.

The Seven Sacred Pillars, being Title Douluos, reacted extremely quickly, all of them dodging Yang Ping'an's sword energy attack.

Immediately afterwards, power seemed to begin to gather on Yang Ping'an's Golden Demon Dragon Sword. Then, he slashed horizontally with his sword, and countless golden sword energies appeared. All the sword energies condensed together to form a huge "kill" character, which looked incomparably sharp.

With a roar, Sea Dragon Douluo transformed into a giant sea dragon, meeting the "kill" character formed by Yang Ping'an's sword energy. However, after just one collision, Sea Dragon Douluo was forced back more than ten meters, with two sword marks appearing on his arms. Although there was no bleeding, his hands were already slightly painful.

Shui Bing'er and the other three exchanged glances and activated their Martial Soul True Forms. Shui Bing'er, in particular, transformed into a giant ice phoenix, and her chilling aura seemed to intimidate the entire audience.

The other three also used their strongest soul skills, launching a full-scale attack on the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island.

The seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island exchanged glances and simultaneously unleashed their Martial Soul True Forms. In particular, Starfish Douluo transformed into a giant starfish, with countless tentacles sweeping over them, possessing an extremely powerful devouring force that seemed poised to absorb everyone's soul power.

Yang Ping'an slashed directly with his sword, seemingly aiming to sever all of the Starfish Douluo's tentacles.

The three Sea Dragon Douluo transformed into a sea dragon, a sea ghost, and a sea spear, respectively, and used all their strength to block Yang Ping'an's sword energy. However, even though the three of them blocked at the same time, they still seemed to feel a slight pain.

Yang Ping'an ignored all that and directly attacked with his longsword. If he could hold off all three of them at the same time, he would have basically achieved his goal in the battle.

It should be noted that apart from the three of them, the other four people were not significantly different in strength from Shui Bing'er and her group of four, and it was impossible to determine a winner in a short time. Therefore, the one-hour assessment was not a problem.

However, it was clear that Sea Dragon Douluo would not allow the three of them to be restrained, so he directly used his self-created soul skill: Ocean Impact. The originally huge sea dragon seemed to have doubled its strength, and even formed a whole with the surrounding seawater, as if it could control all the seawater.

Yang Ping'an seemed to have poured all his power into the golden longsword in his hand. Instantly, countless sword energies flew out from the sword, and all the sword energies formed a golden "kill" character. In addition to the sword energy, the "kill" character seemed to also contain a terrifying killing aura.

The two clashed again, and Sea Dragon Douluo was forced back dozens of meters, with a deep, bone-revealing wound appearing on his left arm.

Yang Ping'an's soul power level was far inferior to that of the Sea Dragon Douluo, and he suffered a great impact this time, retreating several meters.

But at this moment, Yang Ping'an seemed to have his ferocity ignited, and his face became somewhat ferocious: "Again, I want to see just how strong you really are."

As Yang Ping'an finished speaking, his seventh soul ring flashed, and his entire body instantly transformed into a gigantic golden dragon, receiving a comprehensive boost to all aspects of his abilities.

The three Sea Dragon Douluo exchanged a glance, and ignoring Yang Ping'an's ferocity, they all attacked with all their might.

After exchanging dozens of blows, even with their excellent teamwork, the three seemed unable to suppress Yang Ping'an. Both the sharp Golden Demon Dragon Sword and the terrifying amplification from the Demon Dragon's true form made the three of them feel a chill.

Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er and her group of four were also engaged in a fierce battle with Hai Xing Douluo and his group of four. At this point, there was no longer any strategy to speak of; it was all a contest of strength. The entire arena seemed to be filled with the clash of soul skills, and even the ground and buildings were covered with the destruction caused by the soul skills of both sides.

Among the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island, Sea Dragon Douluo is undoubtedly the strongest, especially with his Sea Dragon Martial Soul, which is absolutely the top-tier Sea Soul Master Martial Soul. The others are also quite impressive.

Even with Yang Ping'an's continuous attacks using the Golden Demon Dragon Sword, he was unable to defeat them. In fact, facing a three-on-one situation, especially with the three of them cooperating so well, he took several soul skills and suffered minor injuries.

However, the Seven Sacred Pillars were not much better off. Almost all of them were injured, especially the Sea Dragon Douluo, who had collided with Yang Ping'an's body repeatedly and even blocked Yang Ping'an's sword energy several times. He had several very ferocious wounds on his body.

Just then, Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, suddenly spoke up: "Alright, the assessment is over."

As Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, spoke, an invisible force seemed to fly out from Poseidon's body, instantly separating the two sides. Even though Yang Ping'an possessed formidable power, he seemed unable to withstand Poseidon's power.

The seven sacred pillars exchanged glances, and finally, led by Sea Dragon Douluo, knelt on one knee: "Great Elder, we have disappointed you. We cannot win."

Poseidon's face remained calm and composed: "It's just an assessment. You've done your best, and those five are indeed qualified to pass."

Then Poseidon addressed Yang Ping'an and the other four, saying, "Congratulations on passing the sixth trial of Poseidon Island, especially Yang Ping'an, your strength has surprised me."

Yang Ping'an bowed slightly: "Senior, you flatter me. I was merely fighting with all my might."

Poseidon then revealed a sigh: "Very well, if you use your full strength, even Sea Dragon Douluo and the others might not be your match. After all, even I think your eighth soul skill is quite good."

As Poseidon finished speaking, the news of passing the test reappeared in Yang Ping'an's mind.

"Yang Ping'an, Red-level Level 1 Exam, Part 6, challenge the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island, the assessment was completed beyond expectations, all spirit rings' age increased by two thousand years."

Yang Ping'an finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was only a Soul Douluo, and his soul power was eventually a bit strained from fighting against multiple Title Douluos for so long.

In particular, Yang Ping was basically fighting three opponents at once throughout the entire battle. If it weren't for the astonishing power of the Golden Demon Dragon Sword, he probably wouldn't have been able to gain the upper hand.

When Yang Ping'an held the Golden Demon Dragon Sword, he seemed to become even more formidable, and his understanding of swordsmanship deepened. It truly lived up to its reputation as a divinely bestowed soul ring; it was indeed the soul skill most suited to him. (End of Chapter)
