Douro Continent

Chapter 593 The True Form of the Evil Fire Phoenix's Martial Soul

"Little White? Little White White? White like idiot. This name is really fitting." Oscar couldn't help but mutter.

Dai Mubai, seeing Xiao Wu's unfriendly expression and still icy gaze, coughed and pulled Zhu Zhuqing aside. Fatty and Oscar reacted immediately; Oscar grabbed Ning Rongrong, and Fatty greeted Bai Chenxiang, who had suddenly appeared. In Tang San's eyes, these disloyal guys had already quickly run to the side, leaving only Tang San and Xiao Wu standing there.

At this moment, Xiao Wu no longer appeared as a beauty, but rather as a volcano poised to erupt at any moment. Tang San's mental strength was immense; he could clearly sense that Xiao Wu was on the verge of exploding. A thought struck him, and he mimicked the tone of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai, saying, "I was wrong, I apologize. I'm sorry, Xiao Wu. You know, I..."

Xiao Wu suddenly snapped out of her daze, and seeing Tang San's apologetic smile, she couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out laughing.

Seeing his smile, Tang San felt a sense of relief; his smile made things easier. He quickly stepped forward to take her hand.

Xiao Wu took a step back, dodging Tang San's hand. Her smile vanished, replaced by a cold expression. "Don't touch me. Do you remember what I told you last time?"

Tang San forced a smile and said, "Xiao Wu, don't be like that. I know I was wrong, you know? It's not that I didn't want you to suffer with me. It's just that I was nervous in that situation! When I got nervous, I..." He trailed off, unable to continue explaining. The truth was there, and Tang San was never good at sweet talk, so he could only look at Xiao Wu with an embarrassed expression.

Xiao Wu suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Tang San's right arm, and brought it to her mouth, biting down hard on his forearm.

Tang San winced in pain, but dared not utter a sound. He obediently let Xiao Wu bite him, while also controlling his soul power to prevent it from rebounding on its own.

Just as Tang San didn't know how to explain things to Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, though angry, didn't know how to punish him. Tang San only refused to let her appear in dangerous situations because he cared about her. Therefore, she could only express her dissatisfaction to Tang San through this method.

When Xiao Wu opened her mouth, Tang San quickly stopped grimacing and looked at her calmly, asking with concern, "Xiao Wu, are your teeth alright?"

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment. Looking at Tang San's ingratiating expression, she finally couldn't help but laugh again. She suddenly threw herself into Tang San's arms and pounded his chest hard. "You big idiot, you're so bad. I'm ignoring you."

Tang San let Xiao Wu hit him foolishly, but he felt relaxed. Whenever he faced Xiao Wu, his usually sharp mind would become a complete mess.

"I'm going back." Xiao Wu seemed tired from pounding, and bit Tang San's firm chest muscles again. With a flash of red light, she returned to his body. Xiao Wu's original form naturally returned to its previous bewildered state.

Tang San hugged Xiao Wu's body, secretly letting out a sigh of relief. He rubbed his chest, looking at the bewildered Xiao Wu in his arms, and felt a pang of heartache. He would rather be bitten by Xiao Wu every day and see her angry than see the emptiness and confusion in her eyes now.

He gently kissed her forehead, held her tightly, and silently vowed that once the trials on Seagod Island were over, he would revive Xiao Wu no matter what. Level 76—fourteen levels away from reviving Xiao Wu.

"Have you appeased them?" Ma Hongjun peeked out from behind.

Tang San turned around and saw that the Five Monsters and Bai Chenxiang had already gathered around, each of them trying hard to suppress their laughter, looking incredibly irritating. He said irritably, "You bunch of disloyal bastards."

Dai Mubai coughed and said, "Little San, you can't blame us for this, right? Xiao Wu finally returned to her original form and wanted to get intimate with you, so we didn't want to disturb you!"

Oscar immediately displayed his masterful ability to change the subject, "Hey, what did that idiot mean when he said you were chosen by the Sea God? Have you thought about that?"

His change of topic was very successful. Tang San's eyes immediately cleared, and he said in a deep voice, "The real answer is uncertain right now. But judging from the name of this test and what that idiot said today, I believe our test will be more difficult than the one we were supposed to face. As for why that Sea God, whose existence is unknown, would do this, I can't guess, but he shouldn't have any malicious intent. The golden light protecting me just now proves that. Since he has no ill intentions, and accepting these tests will greatly help our strength, we don't need to think too much about it now. Just focus on improving our strength as much as possible. When we leave here, our goal should be to reach level 80. Then, when we return to the mainland, we will at least have the strength to protect ourselves. We won't be afraid of facing the experts of the Spirit Hall."

Dai Mubai asked, "So, what should we do next?"

Tang San replied without hesitation, "Besides Fatty continuing his arduous training to break through to level 70, the rest of us need to constantly go underwater and practice fighting. The resistance of seawater is already significant, and it contains strange energy. This will put pressure on us as well. Moreover, by continuously trying to break through the barriers of the sea spirit beasts led by the Demon Soul Great White Shark King and engaging in actual combat with them, our combat power in the ocean will continuously improve. Even Xiao Bai herself said that she won't actually attack us. Under these circumstances, don't you think she's the best sparring partner for us? Let's not think about how to pass the level yet; let's practice underwater combat under her protection. This is equivalent to us experiencing a kind of domain-like ability in actual combat."

Zhu Zhuqing said, "That's right. If we can coordinate perfectly in the sea, wouldn't our coordination be even faster and more flawless in battle on land?"

Ma Hongjun said, "Third Brother, why don't I train in combat with you guys? Anyway, there aren't any suitable spirit beasts here to become my seventh spirit ring, and even if I cultivate to level seventy, I still won't be able to break through."

Tang San said, "Who said you can't get your seventh spirit ring without a suitable spirit beast? Don't worry about anything else right now, just focus on your cultivation and break through your bottleneck as soon as possible. I'll find a way to help you get your seventh spirit ring then."

"Huh?" Ma Hongjun was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't ask any further questions and chose to believe Tang San directly. In fact, it wasn't just her; the other six members of the Shrek Seven Devils all had an almost blind trust in Tang San. Tang San never spoke without reason, and his character was absolutely trustworthy.

Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Third Brother, when do we start?"

Dai Mubai laughed and said, "Is that even a question? Time is tight and the mission is urgent. It's not easy to find a 100,000-year-old soul beast as a sparring partner. And we won't be truly attacked. Naturally, we should recover our soul power and begin immediately."

The group exchanged smiles, then spontaneously sat down cross-legged and began cultivating to recover their depleted soul power. Oscar, in particular, diligently began remaking his replica mirror sausage.

Tang San didn't teach his internal breathing method to the others because the methods of cultivating soul power in this world were quite different from his Mysterious Heaven Skill. He had studied with Grandmaster for many years, and naturally understood this aspect. It was difficult for the others to practice internal breathing like him. However, everyone's martial soul was different, and they all had different methods.

From that day on, the ring-shaped sea that had been silent for countless years, always guarding Poseidon Mountain, became bustling. Every day, it surged violently like towering waves, bursting forth with bursts of bright light from time to time, and whirlpools constantly appeared in the churning water.

There are many techniques involved in swimming, but like cultivating soul power, there's not much room for shortcuts; practice makes perfect. Although the Shrek Seven Devils were all landlubbers, their daily struggles in the water, coupled with their formidable strength, allowed them to adapt quickly. Their swimming skills improved almost daily. While they couldn't yet swim like fish, they could at least move around in the water with significantly less hindrance.

Even Xiao Wu would return to her original form for a period of time each day to go into the water with the others. What the others envied was that Xiao Bai, the king of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, would never attack Xiao Wu. In fact, when launching an attack, he would deliberately avoid Xiao Wu.

Xiao Bai's words after that battle were not empty boasts; her true strength could only be revealed in the ocean. A 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast was an incredibly terrifying existence in the ocean. Tang San was certain that even four or five Title Douluos might not be able to defeat her in the sea. However, she did indeed hold back. Although everyone was often beaten and bruised, Xiao Bai would only drive them out of the ring-shaped sea before ceasing her attack. And she never truly harmed them.

Through their constant battles in the ocean, everyone clearly realized that their opponent wasn't just the sea spirit beasts, but the entire Ring Sea. Under Xiao Bai's control, every drop of seawater became their enemy, repelling them. Aside from Xiao Wu, Xiao Bai's attacks on Tang San were relatively mild, perhaps because she felt some remorse for the misunderstanding that day. However, she would never hold back. To her, she was the examiner of their second test, a power and responsibility bestowed upon her by the Sea God. Despite her immense power, she would never dare to show favoritism.

However, as the days passed, and the group was constantly battered and ravaged by Xiaobai in the ring-shaped sea, they gradually developed a sense of affection for her. They deeply admired Xiaobai's strength. Xiaobai, in turn, was very curious about them. In her eyes, these land-based soul masters were gradually adapting to the way they fought in the sea and were beginning to show their true colors, even though they were still far from being her match. But if she wanted to defeat these people on land, she would inevitably pay a heavy price, possibly even her life. Of course, that was only if Tang San used his Blue Silver Emperor Soul Skill. As an examiner, she was well aware of the limitations Tang San had. The inability to use skills including two 100,000-year soul skills, and the inability to unleash the true power of his two domains, were already extremely severe restrictions.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed. It has been exactly half a year since the second exam.

"Ugh—, Xiaobai, can't you be a little gentler? Girls should be gentle." Oscar was swept out of the ring-shaped sea by an undercurrent and slammed hard onto the beach. The pain that instantly spread throughout his body almost made him faint, and he couldn't help but complain loudly.

However, following him, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu were also sent out of the Ring Sea one after another. None of them fared much better; they were all in a sorry state.

Little White's shark head emerged from the ring-shaped sea and spoke in human language to Oscar, saying, "Little Oscar, I've been very gentle. Otherwise, I would have spanked your butt into eight pieces long ago. Rongrong! I really don't know what you see in this guy. He's so lewd, and he even has this 'hard-on golden fly' thing. Are all men in your human world this lewd? How about I introduce you to a handsome sea spirit master? He's much more innocent than him."

"..." Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar speechlessly, her eyes full of amusement. Because she was a support-type Soul Master, Xiao Bai took good care of her. Although Xiao Bai was also beautiful in her human form, she didn't exhibit the jealousy often seen in other human women. Instead, she was very close to the three girls among the Seven Devils. Of the three, only Xiao Wu ignored her because she had almost killed Tang San. Zhu Zhuqing, though somewhat aloof, would occasionally exchange a few words with her during breaks in battle. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Bai, however, had the best relationship; they became good friends outside of combat.

Oscar, enraged, scrambled up from the beach. "Little White, you can't slander me! How dare you call me a lewd and obscene man? Do you think I can control my soul skills? They're innate!"

"You're pure?" Xiao Bai's big eyes revealed deep disdain. "Give me a break. The soul is born from the heart. If you weren't inherently lewd, how could you have such a lewd soul skill? Just looking at your eyes, I know you're no good. Next time, I'll beat you even harder. How come there's such a big difference between you and Dai Mubai, even with the same soul skill?"

"You don't hit someone in the face, Xiao Bai! You're slapping me in the face right here! I'll never forgive you!" Oscar jumped up and down on the beach. However, his soul power was almost completely depleted, so he couldn't charge forward. The others watched them with smiles. For some reason, Oscar and Xiao Bai seemed to be natural enemies. Every time they were blasted out, Xiao Bai couldn't help but tease him a bit.

Xiao Bai gave Oscar a defiant look. "Come on! Come on! I'm all clean and waiting for you. I'm not afraid of you! I'm just afraid you can't handle it. But, Oscar, let me remind you, a man can't be impotent."

"You..." Xiao Ao was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he couldn't beat him in a fight. He, who was always resourceful, was helpless after meeting Xiao Bai.

"I'm ignoring you. I'll be waiting for you in the sea. Get well soon. Don't keep me waiting too long." With that, Little White turned around and disappeared into the depths of the sea. As it left, its huge tail kicked up a spray of water that sent Oscar tumbling.

"Little White, I'll fight you to the death!" Oscar couldn't take the defeat anymore and was about to rush into the sea when Ning Rongrong quickly grabbed his waist and stopped him.

"Xiao Ao, what's going on between you and Xiao Bai? Why is she always targeting you? You didn't peep at her while she was showering," Dai Mubai said gloatingly from the side.

Oscar grumbled, "How should I know? It's like this guy's attacks are always targeting me. I'm always the first one to get hit and the hardest to fall. Are handsome guys no longer popular?"

"Xiao Ao, don't be so narcissistic, okay?" Dai Mubai laughed. "Rongrong, you'd better watch out. As the saying goes, the deeper the hatred, the deeper the love. Maybe Xiaobai has a crush on your Xiao Ao. That's why he's deliberately targeting him. Xiao Ao's charming eyes are very popular with girls."

Ning Rongrong snorted and said, "Don't your eyes attract girls? I believe in our Xiao Ao."

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Oscar's previous anger vanished instantly, and he looked at Dai Mubai triumphantly. However, Ning Rongrong's next sentence almost made him fall over.

"How could Xiaobai possibly be interested in him?" Ning Rongrong chuckled.

"I..." Oscar was extremely frustrated and wanted to confront Ning Rongrong in a fierce manner, but Ning Rongrong had already run away first.

Just as Oscar said, Xiao Bai did seem to be deliberately targeting him, giving him extra attention in every attack. However, it was precisely because of this that his combat abilities, as a food-type Soul Master, improved by leaps and bounds. Although he couldn't yet compare to a true power-attack type Soul Master like Dai Mubai, he was already using Dai Mubai's Soul Skills quite well, with considerable power. If it weren't for the fact that his physical strength was significantly weaker than Dai Mubai's, he might actually be able to catch up if he continued training like this.

However, without the aid of the Sea God's Light, although everyone fought arduously every day, the speed at which their soul power increased noticeably slowed down. Half a year passed, and they remained at their original levels, only approaching the next level's breakthrough. This demonstrates just how difficult it is to cultivate soul power beyond level seventy. Soul masters at the Soul Saint level and above typically advance one level every few years. It is only through the pressure of daily battles that they achieve a faster rate of improvement.

Just as everyone was preparing to begin cultivating to restore their soul power, suddenly, a loud phoenix cry rang out from behind them without warning. The seaside air instantly became scorching hot, and an aggressive heat current rose up, filling the air and even carrying a hint of gunpowder.

A look of surprise appeared on everyone's faces at the same time. Everyone turned around and saw a domineering orange-red flame soaring into the sky, transforming into a huge fire phoenix flying in the sky. Under the cover of the huge phoenix flames, a chubby figure slowly walked out.

His steps were steady and powerful, exuding an unmistakable aura of dominance—not the air of an emperor, but an aura that transcended all things, the terrifying presence of the king of birds.

As a fellow flying-type Soul Master, Bai Chenxiang watched the slowly approaching figure, her legs went weak, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably—a fear of a fellow high-level Martial Soul. Although the Swift was a rather good Martial Soul, it was still far inferior to the Phoenix, the king of birds.

Gradually, Ma Hongjun's face came into view. His eyes were now completely filled with fiery red light, and his entire body was engulfed in orange-red flames, making him appear like a fire god descending to earth. He was completely unlike his usual sleazy self. Bathed in the flames, he appeared remarkably tall, and even the Seven Devils could clearly feel the pressure emanating from him.

As everyone knows, after tireless training, Fatty finally achieved that important breakthrough, successfully breaking through the level 70 bottleneck and entering a completely new realm.

The flames gradually subsided, but the fat man's demeanor had changed significantly after the breakthrough, and the nobility of a phoenix was evident in his every move.

The fat man stopped just before he reached the crowd, looking at them. "I succeeded." A faint smile played on his lips, and his noble, superior aura made Bai Chenxiang's heart race. She suddenly felt that her grandfather's choice for her might have made some sense.

Oscar, still feeling annoyed, looked at the fat man and said irritably, "You fatso, can't you just stop pretending?"

Ma Hongjun's haughty smile froze, and in the next moment, his previous composure seemed to shatter completely. "Damn, Xiao Ao, you could even see that?"

Oscar paused for a moment, but quickly recovered. "Damn, you're really faking it. Boss Dai, I'm not one to start trouble! But can we tolerate this fat guy putting on such a show in front of all of us?"

Dai Mubai chuckled sinisterly, "Of course not. Beat him up." With that, the two delinquents pounced on him almost simultaneously.

"No!" the fat man screamed, crouching on the ground with his hands covering his head, offering no resistance as Dai Mubai and Oscar pounced on him and beat him. Tang San simply smiled, but didn't participate. There always needed to be someone composed, and Tang San was playing that role.

In fact, Dai Mubai and Oscar didn't even hit Ma Hongjun a few times before lifting him up.

"Well done, Fatty, you caught up so quickly." Oscar laughed.

The fat man's smug expression returned. "Of course. We're descendants of the phoenix."

Ning Rongrong chuckled and said, "If Phoenix sees how fat you are, she'll probably get angry too."

The fat man snorted and said, "Your little Ao is the most handsome, alright? Third brother, I've broken through. How can I get my seventh spirit ring?" As a spirit master, who wouldn't want to have a seventh spirit ring that could transform them? The fat man was no exception, his small eyes filled with hopeful light.

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "You'll get your share. Here you go." With a flick of his wrist, a ball of fiery red light floated out and headed straight for the fat man.

The fat man reached out and caught the ball of fire in his hand. Instantly, a strange sensation spread throughout his body. He was somewhat stunned. "Third Brother, isn't this your Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core?"

Tang San nodded and said, "That's right, it's this one. The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent is the king of snakes. Although it's neither a bird nor a soul beast, it's an ancient beast. But it's also fire-attribute, and it's extremely yang fire-attribute, exactly the same as your Phoenix Flame. I've discussed this with my teacher. We can confirm that the inner core of this Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent essentially stores most of its abilities and has an effect similar to a soul ring. If you consume it and digest it with the Phoenix Flame, it will naturally become your seventh soul ring. The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent is the overlord among snakes, but the phoenix is ​​its nemesis. Although its flames are domineering, they will be easily digested by your Phoenix Flame. The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent I killed was definitely no weaker than any ten-thousand-year soul beast. It's perfect as your seventh soul ring. Moreover, given its status as an ancient beast, it should have some special benefits as your seventh soul ring. I can't say for sure what they are; we'll have to wait until you absorb it to find out. Let's begin now, and we'll all protect you."

Ma Hongjun looked at the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core in his hand, then at Tang San, his eyes reddening slightly. "No, Third Brother. I can't take this; it's too precious." Although he didn't know what the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent was, as the possessor of the Phoenix Flame, he could feel the immense fire attribute energy contained within the inner core and its unique, heart-pounding aura the moment he held it. He understood that it would be extremely difficult for him to find something better as his seventh spirit ring. With the quality of this ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core, it wouldn't be a disservice even as his eighth spirit ring.

Tang San frowned. "Fatty, what did you call me?"

Ma Hongjun paused for a moment, then said, "Call me Third Brother!"

Tang San angrily retorted, "Then why are you talking nonsense? I originally saved this for you."

Ma Hongjun stared blankly at Tang San, remaining silent for a long time. Suddenly, he slapped himself hard across the face. "Right, what am I talking nonsense for? Third Brother, this fat body of mine is yours from now on." With that, he swallowed the inner core in his hand in one gulp.

Tang San's expression softened. "I don't want your fat body, I only want my fourth brother. Quickly sit down and absorb the energy. Although the Phoenix Flame can restrain the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent's flames, the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent's flames are extremely domineering. You must be careful and not be careless in any way."

Ma Hongjun wiped his face to remove the moisture, and as expected, he didn't say another word. He immediately sat down and began to cultivate, but the clenched fists he made when he sat down showed how excited he was.

Dai Mubai walked to Tang San's side and put his arm around Tang San's shoulder. Oscar walked over from the other side and hooked his arm around Tang San's other shoulder. Although neither of them said anything, the girls on the side could feel the affection between the four men.

The orange-red flames that had just been extinguished quickly rose again, and even the fat man's skin turned orange-red in an instant. His fleshy face showed intense pain, and even his upright posture became somewhat unsteady.

Tang San was startled, immediately realizing he had underestimated the domineering power of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core. His initial success in killing the serpent had been largely due to luck. He quickly broke free from Dai Mubai and Oscar's grasp, flashing behind Ma Hongjun. He said in a deep voice, "None of you should interfere. Your soul power is unique and unsuitable for helping Fatty. I'm sufficient on my own. Oscar, give me one of your Transcendence Limit Dark Green Sausage, one Excitement Pink Sausage, and one Recovery Sausage. Rongrong, amplify my soul power and boost Fatty's attributes. Quickly."

Tang San spoke rapidly, like popping beans. This revealed their true teamwork; as soon as Tang San finished speaking, three sausages were tossed from Oscar's hand and flew in front of him. Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was also activated.

Sitting cross-legged behind the fat man, Tang San took a deep breath and ate the three sausages without hesitation, completely disregarding the side effects of the Extreme Green Sausage. His palms instantly turned jade-white and pressed against the fat man's back.

They had just fought Xiao Bai, and their soul power was greatly depleted; otherwise, Tang San wouldn't have needed Xiao Ao's three sausages for assistance. At this moment, there could be no hesitation. Tang San knew very well that absorbing the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent was most dangerous at the very beginning. If anything went wrong, that fat guy would be in big trouble.

Tang San channeled his balanced and harmonious Xuan Tian Gong internal energy directly into the fat man's body. After the soul power was injected, Tang San did not merge with the fat man's phoenix soul power to help him channel it. Instead, he placed a layer of defense close to the fat man's meridians.

He didn't understand the direction of the fat man's soul power flow, and if he rashly helped the fat man to guide it, it could easily have the opposite effect. What he was doing now was the best way to protect the fat man.

Ning Rongrong's boost arrived just in time, amplifying Tang San's soul power and Fatty's attributes. Instantly, the phoenix flames blazed fiercely, forcefully withstanding the terrifying explosive power of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core.

Tang San could clearly sense that the fire-attribute energy erupting from the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core, while the same color as the Fatty's Phoenix Flame, was far more explosive. It was only because the Phoenix Flame inherently suppressed its elemental properties that it didn't erupt completely at once. Even so, it was extremely dangerous. However, the Fatty's endurance exceeded Tang San's expectations. Although the energy from the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core surged wildly within his body, the Fatty's Phoenix Flame continuously transformed into a shield, relentlessly resisting the attack.

Tang San secretly praised him and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about your own meridians, just dissolve them."

With Tang San as his backup, Fatty no longer needed to expend a portion of his soul power to protect his defenses. All the phoenix flames instantly converged, launching a counterattack against the energy of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core. In an instant, two equally powerful and domineering energies, brimming with masculine energy, engaged in a fierce battle within Fatty's body. The intense collisions continuously caused bursts of blazing flames to erupt from Fatty's body.

The onlookers' hearts were in their throats. Tang San's clothes were charred black, and his hair, which had regrown after absorbing the seventh spirit ring, had been reduced to charcoal by the flames erupting from the fat man's body. Yet, Tang San's body seemed unharmed. His hands remained as white as jade, continuously and unreservedly channeling the spirit power he had forcibly increased through the three sausages and Ning Rongrong's amplification into the fat man's body.

It's important to understand that Tang San was tempered in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. His body is inherently immune to both water and fire. However, his water immunity refers to cold, so to be precise, it should be called immunity to both heat and cold. Although his clothes and fur were damaged, he himself was not truly harmed. After all, even the strongest Phoenix Flame is still human-made, while the heat and cold in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are the power of heaven and earth. There is still a difference between the two. However, Tang San's appearance at this moment is somewhat frightening, as if his entire body has been turned into charcoal.

At this moment, the others truly understood what Tang San meant. It wasn't just that they weren't suitable to help Fatty; more importantly, Tang San didn't mention that none of them could withstand the continuous baking of the Phoenix Flame!

A sense of gratitude spread through everyone's hearts. From generously gifting the immortal herbs to now risking his own life to help Ma Hongjun absorb the seventh spirit ring, everyone witnessed everything Tang San had done. Even Dai Mubai, the leader of the Seven Devils, felt no jealousy towards Tang San. In his heart, the name Tang San meant only one thing: brother, true brother, eternal brother, brother for life.

-

The brotherhood between Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils is just like the bond between Tang San and my brothers and sisters in the Tang Sect. You will always be my brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters for life.

On the second day of the month, seeing our monthly votes lagging behind, Xiao San (the author) was about to issue a Tang Sect recruitment order. Although both JJ and Tomato's books are new, it wouldn't affect our overall ranking. However, Xiao San saw some disruptive accounts in the book review section shouting that if Douluo Dalu remained number one this month, they would castrate themselves in a performance. We couldn't tolerate that! On the second day of the month, we, the millions of Tang Sect disciples, rallied to reclaim the top spot.

Also, let me clarify something. Some people have said that I've already written 7 or 8 chapters on the first test, so wouldn't the rest be all tests? Of course not. Everyone has seen the importance of the first test. I can't just leave it at that and let the Shrek Seven Devils ascend to the True Spirit Body stage. Some of the later tests won't be described in detail. I'll also secretly reveal a little something: not all tests have to be completed on Seagod Island. And some tests are related to the main plot! Hehe. The following content will definitely satisfy you; it will be absolutely exciting.

Finally, let me shout one last time: Monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, let's cast them! Let's reclaim the top spot, gather our Tang Sect disciples, and make Douluo Continent shine once more!
