Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 350 Easily Passing the Barrier

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and Zhu Zhulin and the three little maids, Poseidon, have all broken through their bottlenecks in soul power.

Because Xiaoli, Xiaoling, and Xiaoyun were too weak, they cultivated in the Light of the Sea God, and their soul power increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. In one month, they directly increased to level 20, which means they leveled up once every five or six days on average.

"Xiao Chen, take out the spirit rings you collected before and let the girls absorb them. I remember that the swordfish spirit ring is a sea spirit beast that combines attack and speed, so it should be very suitable for them."

On this day, Poseidon brought the four girls to the small courtyard where Ye Liangchen lived, and let the four girls absorb the soul rings. Although Zhu Zhulin had obtained the fourth black-level test and had the opportunity to have a divinely bestowed soul ring, Poseidon did not want to give it to her now, as that would be a waste of a divinely bestowed soul ring.

"Let me assess their physical abilities and see if they can absorb spirit rings from higher-level opponents?"

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen stretched out his hand and used his soul power to sense the physical strength of the four women.

Having been tempered in the Light of the Sea God for a month, the girls' physical abilities were greatly improved.

"Zhu Zhulin, I have an 11000-year-old swordfish soul ring here. You should be able to absorb it."

"As for the three little foxes, since you are only Great Soul Masters, but you are already about 15 years old, I have decided to let you absorb a swordfish soul ring of about 1200 years."

"However, just to be on the safe side, I've decided to use some elixir to improve your physical condition, just to ensure everything goes smoothly."

Ye Liangchen searched for suitable soul rings for the four girls from his game inventory space, but to be on the safe side, he decided to use whale glue, along with some auxiliary medicinal herbs, and have Zhu Zhulin, Xiao Li, and the other two girls take it to temper their physical fitness.

"We will follow your arrangements, young master." Zhu Zhulin and the three maids had complete trust in Ye Liangchen.

"Thump..."

Ye Liangchen took out a cauldron, then took out a lump of whale glue and a few spiritual herbs, put them into it, and added some water.

"Whoosh..."

Finally, Ye Liangchen activated the power of the fire element, creating flames that heated the medicine cauldron, causing the whale glue to completely melt.

"Xiao Chen, you...you gave them this? It'll improve their physical condition?"

When Poseidon saw that Ye Liangchen was using a lump of whale glue, he was completely dumbfounded. If these four girls were to take this kind of medicine, wouldn't things get incredibly heated?

"Sister Bobo, trust your master," Shadow Demon reminded her from the side.

"Don't worry, Sister Bobo, I'm a professional doctor."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly, telling Poseidon not to worry.

"Okay, I believe you."

Poseidon smiled, completely trusting Ye Liangchen, after all, this little guy had been creating miracles and had even changed her own destiny.

"The four of you will now take this elixir. After drinking it, you will feel extremely hot all over. You must force yourself to endure it. It is estimated that this will last for about half an hour."

Before long, the 30,000-year-old whale glue had melted and mixed with the spiritual medicine into a liquid. Ye Liangchen divided it into four bowls and had the girls drink it.

"Yes, young master." The four women bowed respectfully to Ye Liangchen, then took the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp.

"This elixir makes me feel warm all over, it's quite nice!"

"Ah...ah..."

After consuming the whale gelatin, the four women found their bodies gradually heating up, their faces instantly turning pale. They then involuntarily let out soft moans, their eyes becoming increasingly hazy, the sounds growing louder with each climax. At this moment, their minds were filled with the image of Ye Liangchen. In this state of self-absorption, the first person they thought of was Ye Liangchen, the one who had saved their fate.

"Xiao Chen, you have to think of something, otherwise they probably won't be able to hold on."

Poseidon looked at Ye Liangchen with a smile, thinking to himself: It seems a bit unreliable for you to give this girl this kind of medicine.

"Master, these girls can't stop thinking about you. Look at their eyes, they're practically brimming with tears," Yingmei teased from the side, seemingly enjoying the drama.

"I overestimated their resistance."

"You all quickly sit cross-legged, calm your minds and spirits. Repeat after me: 'If the heart is pure as ice, even if the sky collapses, one will not be alarmed; one will remain steadfast through the ages; one's spirit will be at peace...'"

Seeing that the girls were already lost, Ye Liangchen immediately began to loudly recite the "Ice Heart Mantra" to wake them up.

"If the heart is pure as ice, one will not be disturbed by the heavens, and will remain steadfast through the ages; with a tranquil spirit and peaceful mind, one will be carefree throughout the ages."

Upon hearing Ye Liangchen's telepathic message, the girls' minds cleared up somewhat, and they began to chant the Ice Heart Mantra along with Ye Liangchen.

To be honest, as the four women followed Ye Liangchen in reciting the "Ice Heart Mantra" over and over again, their mood gradually calmed down, and they regained their rationality.

Even Poseidon and Shadow were completely calm and composed, without a ripple of emotion. At this moment, the two women sat cross-legged, trying to comprehend the mysteries of the "Ice Heart Manual".

An hour later, the fever subsided on the four girls, and the energy from the whale glue was fully absorbed into their bodies.

"Young master, thank you." The four women stood up, feeling their own power increase, and then knelt down to bow to Ye Liangchen.

"Xiao Chen, you are truly amazing."

After Poseidon grasped the mysteries of the "Ice Heart Manual," he felt that Ye Liangchen was becoming more and more amazing.

"Master, what was that incantation you recited earlier? Can I practice it?"

Yingmei even directly asked Ye Liangchen for the "Ice Heart Mantra," believing that this mantra could improve one's state of mind.

"I call this mnemonic the 'Ice Heart Formula,' and I'll write it down for you in a bit."

Ye Liangchen explained, then took out the soul ring he had previously chosen from his game backpack and handed it to Zhu Zhulin and the three little girls.

"You guys need to keep it up." Poseidon and Shadow looked at the four girls and gave them some encouragement.

"Thank you, young master. Thank you, sir."

The girls took the spirit rings, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb their respective spirit rings with all their might.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Four hours later, Xiaoli, Xiaoling, and Xiaoyun successfully absorbed 1200-year soul rings in succession, advancing to the rank of Great Soul Master. Combined with the energy they had absorbed from the 30,000-year whale glue, their soul power now reached level 23.

"Whoosh..."

At this time, Zhu Zhulin also successfully absorbed the 11000-year-old Arrowfish Soul Ring, and her soul power reached level 42.

"Wow! Zhu Zhulin actually managed to get a perpetual fourth ring, that's unbelievable!"

"Xiao Li and the others' second ring of the millennium is really impressive!"

Just then, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, Zhu Zhuqing and their group arrived at Ye Liangchen's courtyard and were extremely surprised to see that all four women had absorbed the super-limited soul rings.

However, when everyone realized that this was Ye Liangchen's doing, they were no longer surprised.

……

Two more months have passed, and there are only two days left until the first assessment for Shui Bing'er and her group. Now, everyone still has one last step to take, and the benefits of the Sea God's Light have been completely taken advantage of.

At this moment, everyone broke through their respective bottlenecks within the light of the sea god.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Just then, three powerful auras erupted from Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Jin Ling'er respectively.

"Finally broke through level 80."

"We've worked hard for this day for a whole year."

"Yeah yeah!"

The three women exchanged a smile, then excitedly hugged each other to celebrate the moment.

"Three people reached level 80 at the same time! Bing'er and the others are amazing!"

"We're still two levels behind."

The other members of the Tianshui Girls' Group have now reached level 78. Seeing Shui Bing'er and the other two girls break through to level 80 first, I feel a little envious.

"Guys, we're only level 76 right now! We're even worse than you guys."

Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were a little envious. They tried their best to catch up with the group of proud women from the Tianshui Group, but they still couldn't catch up.

"We're only level 69, one level away from becoming a Soul Saint."

Huo Wushuang and his sister, Bai Chenxiang, Jin Yue'er, the Qian Gu brothers, and Qing Ming have all reached the peak of Soul Emperor, but have yet to break through level 70, and the gap between them is even greater.

"You guys are just as good!"

Shui Bing'er looked at her companions with a smile. The worst among them was a level 69 Soul Emperor, which was quite good.

"They are amazing."

Stop being envious, keep working hard!

Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhulin, and the others looked at Shui Bing'er and her group with envy, but they knew it was all fate. So the girls continued climbing the ladder, pushing their limits. Three months had passed since they participated in the Sea God's Light Transcending Trial. Zhu Zhuyun had risen from level 53 to 57, Zhu Zhulin to 47, and Xiao Li, Xiao Ling, and Xiao Yun had all reached level 29, soon to advance to Soul Venerable.

The speed at which Zhu Zhuyun and the other newcomers improved made Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and others a little envious. It has to be said that the Light of the Sea God is a good thing; the lower one's strength, the faster one's soul power increases.

At the same time, Ye Liangchen, Poseidon, and Yali, who were cultivating in the Sea God Temple, also sensed that Shui Bing'er and Jin Ling'er had all broken through to level 80.

"These three girls are amazing! Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er are only around 18 years old, and Ling'er is even younger. If it weren't for Xiao Chen setting a record, these three girls would be the youngest Soul Douluo in history!"

Yali thought back to when she was 18 years old, she hadn't even reached the Soul Master level yet, compared to the three girls, it was like heaven and earth.

"Xiao Chen, should we give them a reward now?" Poseidon asked Ye Liangchen.

"Let's give them all together after everyone finishes their trials! We can't let them absorb the divinely bestowed spirit rings yet. Given their personalities, they'll definitely try to break through to the 100,000-year spirit ring level at the eighth level, and I'm afraid they won't be able to do it within two days."

Ye Liangchen thought for a moment, then asked Poseidon to suspend the awarding of prizes.

"Oh well!"

Poseidon nodded and said, "Thinking about it, that makes sense. If we give the divine soul rings to those three girls now, they'll definitely be eager to absorb them."

……

Two days later, Shui Bing'er and her group were on high alert, making a final push to complete the Sea God's Light assessment.

"Keep it up, everyone!"

"I've prepared plenty of plump fish and shrimp for you, just waiting for you to successfully pass the test."

Xiaobai, Yingmei, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiaoli stood at a distance cheering everyone on. Xiaobai had even caught several hundred kilograms of plump fish and shrimp, waiting for everyone.

Poseidon and Ari stood quietly atop the summit of Poseidon Mountain, looking down at the crowd below.

Thank you everyone.

"We will definitely succeed."

Shui Bing'er and her group had worked tirelessly for this day for a whole year, fleecing the Sea God's Light to its heart's content; they had to succeed.

"Blessings of Life".

"Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang, you two who are taking the Black-level assessment should proceed first."

To ensure everyone's success on the first try, Ye Liangchen summoned his Martial Soul to provide support, boosting everyone's strength across all attributes.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

"Everyone, charge!"

Feng Xiaotian called to the crowd, and they rushed up the steps, each one faster than the last.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

A short while later, Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were the first to step onto platform 120. In an instant, streaks of black light shot straight into the sky, and the four of them successfully completed the test of crossing the Sea God's Light. The pressure brought by the Sea God's Light also disappeared instantly.

"The enhanced version of the Sea God's Light Trial has been passed perfectly. The reward is Level 1 Soul Power and a God-given Soul Ring."

Upon reaching the 120th floor, the marks on the foreheads of the four people lit up, voices rang out, and rewards followed.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"Assessment completed. Reward: Level 1 Soul Power and one Divine Soul Ring."

Following closely behind, Huo Wushuang and his sister, Bai Chenxiang, Jin Yue'er, Qingming, and the Qian Gu brothers also reached the 108th floor, completed their respective tests, and received rewards. At the same time, everyone's soul power directly broke through to level 70.

Congratulations everyone.

"This is your reward."

Just then, Poseidon floated down from the top of Mount Poseidon and distributed the divinely bestowed Soul Rings to everyone.

"Thank you, Great Offering."

After receiving their rewards, everyone bowed to Poseidon. Then, they stood quietly on both sides of the steps, watching the group of outstanding women from the Tianshui Women's Team attempt their challenge.

"It's so easy."

Ye Liangchen and his group watched from the foot of the mountain as the group of people who had passed the sixth level of the Black Rank Examination completed their respective tests effortlessly.

"Brother Ye, give us support, I'm about to begin."

Jin Ling'er clenched her fist, already impatient to break through the barrier.

Second Soul Skill: Blessing of Life.

Ye Liangchen summoned his martial spirit again to assist the women, enabling them to successfully pass the level as quickly as possible.

"Slurp..."

"My assessment is the most difficult; I need to borrow some help from Xiao Chen first."

Shui Yue'er flashed forward, grabbed Ye Liangchen, and gave him a passionate French kiss, claiming she was borrowing some strength from him.

"Moon, be serious, don't show off now."

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Yu Hai Rou, and the others were speechless as they looked at the quirky Shui Yue'er.

"Haha...! Ladies, I'm going up there first."

Shuiyue smiled mischievously, then darted off towards the Sea God Mountain.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

At the same time, Jin Ling'er, Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Xue Wu, and others followed quickly like arrows released from a bow.

After Ye Liangchen finished assisting the women, he sat down at the stone table by the beach, calmly drinking tea and waiting for them to complete their challenge. Since these beauties only had one last step left, there was no need to worry about any unexpected events.

"come on!……"

Hu Liena, Feng Xiaotian, and others stood on both sides of the steps, raising their fists in celebration for these privileged young women.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"Passed the Sea God's Light Trial perfectly. Reward: Level 1 Soul Power, one God-given Soul Ring, and all Soul Rings' lifespan increased by 500 years."

Before long, Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, Gu Qingbo, Qiu Ruoshui, Shen Liuyu, and Dugu Yan arrived at the 136th floor. In an instant, streaks of reddish-golden light rose up, and the girls successfully completed the first test, receiving their rewards.

"Whoosh..."

At this moment, Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er, Jin Ling'er, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling continued to fly upwards. Except for Shui Yue'er's 333 steps, the other four girls, who were taking the eighth level of the Red Trial, had to climb 228 steps.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"Passed the Sea God's Light Trial perfectly. Reward: Level 1 Soul Power, one God-given Soul Ring, and all Soul Rings' lifespan increased by 500 years."

A few minutes later, Shui Bing'er, Jin Ling'er, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling successfully entered the 228th floor, easily completing their first test.

"Success!..."

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others rushed up from below and hugged Shui Bing'er and the other three girls to celebrate the moment.

"Congratulations, this is your reward."

Poseidon, with a smile on her face, floated down again, delivering divinely bestowed soul rings to these celestial maidens.

"You guys are amazing, I'm so proud of you." Yali also flew down from the mountain to celebrate with the girls.

"Thank you so much, Great Offering! Thank you so much, Sister Li."

"Love you all..."

Shui Bing'er, Jin Ling'er, and the other beauties excitedly put away the divinely bestowed soul rings and happily thanked Poseidon and Yali.

"I love you all too."

"You have such a sweet tongue."

Seeing how much these pretty girls adored them, Poseidon and Ari felt incredibly happy and sweet inside.

"Go, Moon!"

"Shuiyue'er, you're the best, keep it up..."

Now that everyone has completed the assessment, only Shuiyue'er remains to continue her journey, so everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain to cheer her on.

"Don't worry, I won't let everyone down."

"True Body of Martial Soul"

At this moment, Shui Yue'er had already reached the 300th floor. She then turned around and gave everyone a sweet smile. She then summoned her Martial Soul, unleashed her Martial Soul True Form, and sprinted with all her might to the final 33 floors.

"33…32…10…"

After reaching the 300th floor, the pressure gradually increased. Shuiyue'er counted down as she climbed, encouraging herself.

「5…4…3…2……1」

"ah……!"

As Shuiyue'er stepped onto the 333rd floor, a mountain-like weight pressed down on her, causing her to let out a soft cry.

"Whoosh..."

In an instant, the pressure vanished like a tide, and the trident mark between Shui Yue'er's eyebrows burst forth with a golden light that shot straight into the sky, illuminating the entire Sea God Island.

"Passed the Sea God's Light Trial perfectly. Reward: Level 1 Soul Power, one Divine Soul Ring, 10% Divine Power Affinity, and all Soul Rings' age increased by 1000 years."

After the pressure from the Light of the Sea God dissipated, Shuiyue'er's divine test reward officially arrived.

"Golden light? It must be that Yue'er has completed her assessment."

"Very good."

Meanwhile, the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars, hundreds of miles away, were overjoyed to see the golden light emanating from the sacred mountain in the forbidden area of ​​Poseidon Island.

"Has the Sea God descended?"

The island's inhabitants, seeing the golden light, thought it was the descent of the sea god, and so they all bowed in the direction of the forbidden area of ​​Sea God Mountain.

"Yes, we did it!"

When the crowd at the foot of the mountain saw that Shuiyue'er had successfully completed the challenge, they clapped and cheered for the clever and mischievous girl.

"Moon, congratulations, you're amazing!"

"This is your reward."

Poseidon and Yali flew down and presented the divinely bestowed soul ring. They then hugged Shuiyue tightly, not caring that the little girl was covered in sweat.

"Thank you, Great Offering, thank you, Sister Li."

"Moon will always love you, Muah... Muah!"

Shuiyue smiled sweetly, feeling incredibly happy, and then kissed both Poseidon and Yali on the cheek.

"Pfft...! Moon, we love you too."

Yali smiled and kissed Shuiyue on the cheek, not minding the sweat on the little girl's face.

"Let's go down and meet up with everyone."

Poseidon savored the beauty of the moment, his heart filled with sweetness once more. He then grabbed the beautiful, kind, and adorable little girl and flew down the mountain.
