Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 453 Cultivation in Progress

Ye Lingling's sixth soul skill broke through the limitations of the Nine Heart Begonia, and was no longer just a simple healing ability, but a ring of life force that could store excess life force and protect the person protected by the ring of life force at any time.

This is also related to Ye Lingling's personality. Ye Lingling is relatively introverted and does not compete or fight, unlike Bai Chenxiang and Oscar. She has no dissatisfaction with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul and the identity of an auxiliary Soul Master. Rather, she is content with the status quo. Being able to completely heal all injuries, Ye Lingling is already very satisfied.

What Ye Lingling wanted most was not some strange or unusual ability, but a better healing ability.

The Ring of Vitality allowed Ye Lingling to break through the upper limit and scope of the Nine Heart Begonia's healing, making good use of the vitality that was usually wasted. It was indeed the soul skill that Ye Lingling needed most.

Ma Hongjun's sixth soul skill is the same as in the original work.

Although Ma Hongjun was suppressed at the bottom of the sea by Han Feng, it was still a divinely bestowed soul ring. Poseidon did not hold it against Ma Hongjun. After giving him a minor punishment, she let Ma Hongjun absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring.

Phoenix Piercing Clouds Strike, an enhanced version of the fourth soul skill, Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike, is an extremely powerful single-target attack soul skill!

It's clear that Ma Hongjun is still somewhat dissatisfied with his attacking ability. Ma Hongjun seems to have a deep obsession with killing the enemy in one blow - probably because Han Feng and Dai Mubai had such a great influence on him during the Soul Master Competition. Even though he already has three active attack soul skills, Ma Hongjun still chose to attack without hesitation for his sixth soul skill!

Therefore, the divine soul ring granted Ma Hongjun the soul skill Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike.

Its effect is visible to the naked eye. Ma Hongjun had Tang San test it out. Without using the domain and the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San still had to put in a lot of effort even with just the fire-immune Blue Silver Emperor!

After absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring, Ma Hongjun and Ye Lingling unleashed all the reserves they had accumulated over the past two months, breaking through to level 64 and not far from level 65, which was truly terrifying!

This is naturally thanks to the soul bones that Han Feng gave them!

After giving the divinely bestowed soul rings to Ma Hongjun and Ye Lingling, Tang San asked Poseidon for some food and fresh water.

After learning the true effects of the Sea God's Light, Tang San decided not to leave!

He wanted to catch up with Han Feng and Dai Mubai as soon as possible!

Poseidon naturally agreed.

Everyone did have food and fresh water in their soul tools, but the time limit for the Divine Trial is one year. Apart from Ma Hongjun, who would casually carry a year's worth of food around?

Tang San only wanted Poseidon to give him and Xiao Wu enough food and water, but in the end Poseidon brought enough for eleven people—including the little Flame Spirit Cat.

This is quite intriguing. Tang San didn't intend to force everyone to stay and cultivate with him, but given their kinship ties, seeing how diligently Tang San cultivated, how could the others possibly leave?

Actually, there are some who lack ambition, like Ma Hongjun.

But Bai Chenxiang is ambitious!

Bai Chenxiang knew that her talent was inferior to others, and if she didn't work harder, how could she have the face to stand shoulder to shoulder with them?

Zhu Zhuqing was the most hardworking among them, and with such a great opportunity as the Light of the Sea God, she naturally didn't want to leave.

Ning Rongrong was the same, but her reasons were different from Zhu Zhuqing's. Zhu Zhuqing's reason was that it was her nature, while Ning Rongrong simply wanted to quickly gain the gods' approval and start her own divine inheritance!

If Bai Chenxiang doesn't leave, Ma Hongjun can't leave; if Zhu Zhuqing doesn't leave, Dai Mubai can't leave; if Ning Rongrong doesn't leave, Han Feng can't leave.

In the end, only Oscar and Ye Lingling were left. How could they possibly leave the Sea God's Staircase?

In fact, Dai Mubai was somewhat dismissive of the so-called Light of the Sea God, but when he was stopped at the 196th step, he changed his mind. He immersed himself in the Light of the Sea God every day, and his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds. Originally, his cultivation level was lower than Han Feng's, but now it has even surpassed Han Feng by a whole level!

There was nothing that could be done about it. Han Feng hadn't been slacking off, but that was the limitation of his ultimate martial soul. Before level 70, even with the double blessing of the Sea God's Light and the Sea God's Ladder, Han Feng's cultivation speed wouldn't be much faster, and he was much slower than everyone else!

It's worth mentioning that Tang San's cultivation speed in the Sea God's Light was simply like he had a cheat code, leaving everyone else far behind!

Compared to the original story, Tang San did lack a 100,000-year soul bone and a 100,000-year soul ring, but he fused with the Heart of the Sea God ahead of time. The power reflected from the Heart of the Sea God allowed Tang San's cultivation to advance instead of regress, and it also made Tang San and the light of the Sea God more and more compatible. The benefits he gained were more than twice that of others!

This is understandable, since the so-called trial of crossing the Sea God's Light was ultimately created for Tang San.

As for Han Feng and the others, to put it bluntly, they were nothing more than tutors for the Crown Prince!

As a result, Tang San's cultivation level improved almost daily, and he broke through to the Soul Saint realm only two weeks later than Dai Mubai!

Tang San's seventh spirit ring was naturally a divinely bestowed spirit ring prepared by Poseidon.

The divine spirit ring given to Tang San was completely different from the divine spirit ring given to Ye Lingling and the others. You could tell just by looking at it. The size of that golden bead was more than twice the size of the one given to Ye Lingling and the others. It was more like a golden sphere than a golden bead. The golden mist contained within it was also several times denser than that contained in a golden bead, almost liquefied!

Dai Mubai is different. As the dignified successor of the Heavenly Fiend, and the arrogant Heavenly Fiend God, how could he allow the Sea God to lay a finger on the foundation of his successor's life?

Dai Mubai's seventh spirit ring was naturally a divinely bestowed spirit ring personally granted by the Heavenly Fiend God!

At this moment, Han Feng had just broken through to level 69, and he still needed a long time to hone his skills before reaching level 70—and this was even with Han Feng's cultivation level being nearly a hundred steps higher than others!

Otherwise, Han Feng would probably still be stuck at level 68!

There's no way around it; after all, they are two ultimate martial souls. Such heaven-defying things as ultimate martial souls are even more difficult to cultivate than support soul masters!

After all, a level 70 ultimate martial soul can withstand a level 90 ordinary martial soul. For an ultimate martial soul owner to break through to the Soul Saint realm is as difficult as for others to break through to the Title Douluo realm!

However, it must be said that after Ye Lingling and Ma Hongjun, the first person to obtain a divinely bestowed soul ring was not Tang San and Dai Mubai, but Bai Chenxiang!

Bai Chenxiang was already level 49. Under the pressure of the Sea God's Light, she quickly absorbed the remaining medicinal power of the immortal herb and broke through to level 50 in just a few days.

As promised, Poseidon bestowed the divine soul ring upon Bai Chenxiang.

After absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring, Bai Chenxiang also gained attack capabilities as she wished, becoming the first Swift Soul Master on the continent to possess attack soul skills, which excited Bai Chenxiang for a long time!

In addition, Bai Chenxiang also asked Han Feng for the secret method of body refining.

Just as Dai Mubai said, out of consideration for Ma Hongjun and Tang San, Han Feng had no reason to refuse and generously passed on the body-refining secret technique to Bai Chenxiang.

But Han Feng wasn't exactly a saint either. He made it clear to Bai Chenxiang that this secret technique must not be passed on without his permission!

Bai Chenxiang already knew about this and naturally accepted it gladly.

And so, day after day of cultivation, the group spent more than half a year on the Sea God's Staircase!

In the last four months of the year, the 136th floor of the Sea God's Staircase, where Han Feng was located, was rippled with an extremely powerful wave, which even disturbed the light of the Sea God!

Affected by this aura, Ma Hongjun and the others below Han Feng were all squeezed out of the Sea God's Staircase. Fortunately, everyone had anticipated this and did not enter into deep meditation and cultivation, so they were not too embarrassed and returned to the outside of the staircase with ease.

This was the third time everyone had experienced something like this, and they were so skilled that their faces showed no worry whatsoever, but rather joy and excitement!

"Brother Feng is level 70 too?" Ma Hongjun stood outside the steps, looking at Han Feng rising slowly on the Sea God's Stairs, swallowed hard, and said with no small amount of envy.

"Isn't this just a matter of time?" Oscar snorted irritably, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Three and a half months ago, Han Feng had already reached level 69. According to everyone's understanding, Han Feng has only just broken through to level 70, which is already an underperformance!

At this moment, Han Feng was gently sent out of the Sea God's Staircase by the light of the Sea God. However, Han Feng did not open his eyes. Instead, a golden light shot out from between his eyebrows and then suddenly exploded above his head, turning into a golden-red mist full of ancient aura. This mist enveloped Han Feng and slowly lifted him into the air. Finally, Han Feng completely transformed into a golden-red cocoon, radiating a magnificent divine power!

No one was surprised; this was the third time this had happened.

Don't you see, on either side of Han Feng's golden-red light cocoon, there's a silver-white light cocoon and a golden-blue light cocoon hovering?

It was Dai Mubai and Tang San!

"Another divinely bestowed soul ring! How wonderful!" Oscar couldn't help but murmur enviously.

At the same time, Oscar secretly vowed in his heart that he would definitely become a successor of the gods and obtain a soul ring bestowed by the gods in the future!
