In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 286 Really Bad

"Yes, Senior Poseidon." Tang San nodded solemnly.

"Then I'll head back first," Xiao Bai chimed in. "Tang San, come find me anytime you want a challenge."

After saying that, he turned and jumped into the sea.

"Senior Poseidon, I'll head back now," Tang San said.

"Hmm." Poseidon nodded, watching Tang San spread his four wings and fly towards Seahorse City.

Five days later, inside the house.

Tang San slowly opened his eyes, glanced down at the blood-red eighth spirit ring at his feet, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

With a soul power level of 82, the soul skill "Spring Breeze Blows Again" converts the soul power of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul into life force to heal itself. As long as it's not fatal, any injury, no matter how severe, can be quickly healed. This is undoubtedly an extremely powerful healing soul skill. Just as Xiaobai said a few days ago, although a divinely bestowed soul ring only produces one soul skill, it is definitely the most suitable and practical one for oneself.

Furthermore, given that he absorbed the nutrients over a period of 100,000 years, the effect was undoubtedly extremely powerful.

"I was just worried about how to amputate and replace my body. The arrival of this soul skill is like a pillow sent to a sleepy person." He couldn't help but smile.

Furthermore, with this life-saving measure, he is even more confident in his upcoming challenge against Xiaobai.

"To be on the safe side, I'll try the bone-changing technique after I'm familiar with it." With that thought, he stood up.

He glanced at the sky as he stepped outside, then took off directly for the bay where Xiaobai was. Having absorbed the spirit ring, he was now in peak condition.

Therefore, this is a good time to challenge beginners.

As expected, he successfully endured the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, which drew a barrage of complaints from Xiaobai.

"Tang San, your eighth soul skill is too overpowered."

Tang San was relieved that he didn't choose to add the Clear Sky Hammer. Originally, he planned to save the divinely bestowed spirit ring for the Clear Sky Hammer spirit, but considering that the improvement brought by the Blue Silver Grass spirit would determine the age of the spirit rings he could add to the Clear Sky Hammer spirit, he decided to add the Blue Silver Grass spirit instead, to avoid the situation that almost caused him to explode back then.

In retrospect, that decision was absolutely correct.

As I pondered, a voice echoed in my mind.

"Complete the fourth trial of Poseidon, complete the fifth trial of Poseidon, challenge and defeat the guardians of the seven sacred pillars, with a time limit of 1 year."

Tang San's expression froze instantly, then he gave a bitter smile.

The seven guardians of the Sacred Pillars are all Title Douluo. He, on the other hand, has only just entered the Soul Douluo realm. The difficulty of this test is unimaginable.

"Tang San, it seems the fifth test is quite difficult," Xiao Bai teased.

"It's indeed quite large." Tang San nodded with a wry smile, "Challenge and defeat the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians."

Xiao Bai's eyes widened, then he said solemnly, "Good luck!"

"If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave." With that, he turned and jumped into the sea.

"Sigh." Tang San sighed, spread his wings, and flew towards the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.

"You've arrived." As he approached, the Seahorse Douluo, who had been sitting cross-legged beneath the sacred pillar, opened his eyes, then stood up and said loudly, "As instructed by Lord Sea God, I cannot use my ninth soul skill. Tang San, are you sure you want to challenge me first?"

Tang San breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing he couldn't use his ninth soul skill.

With this limitation, he still has hope. After all, he possesses a fully equipped soul bone, plus the first soul ring absorbed by his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, so his physical strength is not much worse, and may even be stronger. The only thing he lacks is his cultivation level.

As for practical experience, Xiaobai has already taught him a lot, which is a good opportunity to put it to the test.

In addition, the assessment period is one year, which gives him enough time to figure out the abilities of the seven pillar guardians and adjust his tactics.

"Yes, Kaiba-senpai." He nodded politely.

"Then let's begin," said Seahorse Douluo.

"Martial Soul True Body!" Tang San immediately unleashed his Martial Soul True Body without hesitation.

"That Sea God!" In the realm of gods, the evil god glanced at Sea God Island with his divine sense and couldn't help but shake his head.

Even if they can't use their ninth soul skill, they still have a year to take the assessment. Even a fool could figure out their opponent's abilities. Plus, with fully equipped soul bones, their physical strength is about the same, and they have even more soul skills. As long as they're not stupid, they can win by just wearing them down.

Challenging seven Title Douluos with the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo may seem like a challenge beyond one's level, but in reality, it's not that simple at all.

This is clearly a case of leniency.

"If that kid Long Yingtian were to come under these conditions, he would probably have won seven games in a row that very day."

"Sigh, I wonder where that kid ran off to." Long Yingtian already had a demigod's spiritual imprint on his body to conceal his aura, and now that he had cultivated his own divine sense, it was even more effective. Unless a thorough search was conducted, it would be impossible to pinpoint his exact location.

Compared to watching Tang San's grand performance, he felt that Long Yingtian's was more exciting.

When Long Yingtian challenged Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, he was able to see it by locating the divine sense on Bibi Dong's body.

"I'll just use you for amusement for now." Thinking this, he continued to watch the show. One day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm. Even if Tang San fought continuously for a year, it would only be a short while in his eyes, having lived for countless years. Sometimes, he would sleep for more than a day.

"Sigh, far from it." Not long after, Tang San ended up being defeated.

It wasn't until the fifth day that he defeated Seahorse Douluo by relying on the toxins released by his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Next was Sea Spear Douluo, who spent three days and ultimately won by relying on his flying ability and the power advantage of his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

Next is Haihuan Douluo.

"No, Xiao Wu!" Completely trapped in the illusion, she soon fainted due to exhaustion of her mental energy and lay awake for two days. Afterwards, she challenged again, her expression indifferent, clearly harboring hatred for the Sea Illusion Douluo.

Then, he was once again trapped in the illusion, unable to extricate himself.

"Long Yingtian, damn it, release Xiao Wu!" A string of incoherent ramblings.

The evil god was silenced by the sight and vanished from the spot in a flash.

When it reappeared, it was already at the abode of the sea god.

"Sea God, hurry up, mobilize your divine sense, I want to see the contents of Tang San's illusion." He plopped down and shouted.

"Evil, this is against the rules, isn't it?" The sea god hesitated.

"It's just the two of us here, what are you afraid of?" The God of Evil glanced at us and said indifferently.

Seeing Tang San's bitter and resentful expression, he was quite curious about the contents of the illusion.

"Alright then." Poseidon stopped hesitating. To be honest, he was quite curious too.

He immediately waved his hand to activate Tang San's divine sense between his eyebrows and read the contents of the illusion.

"Pfft!" The evil god, who had just pulled out his wine glass to watch the show, spat it out, then said speechlessly, "Sea God, what's going on in your head, heir?"

"Among Long Yingtian's many female confidantes, isn't every one of them better than Xiao Wu?"

"Moreover, they only intend to kill the transformed soul beasts that will become their soul rings."

"Perhaps this is the deepest love and the greatest concern," the Sea God couldn't help but retort. "That Long Yingtian does indeed have a lot of women."

The god of evil shook his head. "It's too easy to get stuck on a single point."

"So I plan to put more effort into the Seven Emotions test," Poseidon nodded.

"Get out of here, you're an eyesore to me." The God of Evil curled his lip.

"Alright." The Sea God immediately waved his hand to interrupt the divine connection.

The evil god fell silent and continued to sip his wine and watch the show.

Poseidon was on pins and needles.

Within sight, Tang San fainted again. He slept for two days, then fainted again, and again, fainting repeatedly.

It lasted for a full two weeks.

"Tang San, I don't know what you experienced in the illusion." Poseidon appeared to comfort him.

"But I can see that you've found someone you consider your life's most precious. However, being stubborn and losing your composure is a major taboo in warfare. You need to view dreams and reality rationally. Even in reality, you need to remain calm and composed."

"Otherwise, it will only cause trouble and prevent you from achieving your goal."

The Xuan Tian Treasure Record states that a true master must maintain a calm mind at all times. Tang San couldn't help but recall this sentence and nodded slightly, "I understand, Senior Poseidon. I really did get stuck on this one point."

"It's good that you understand." Poseidon nodded.

"Perhaps this is a good experience for you. Everyone has their own obsessions, but few people can break free from them and find themselves again. If you can take advantage of this opportunity to do so, it will definitely be of great benefit to your future."

"Yes, Senior Poseidon," Tang San replied solemnly.

Poseidon smiled and said, "You should rest now; I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he got up and left.

The following day, Tang San continued to launch challenges.

This time, by constantly telling himself it was an illusion, he finally broke through it and ultimately won. He also severely injured the Sea Illusion Douluo. Although he knew it was a martial soul ability, the repeated torment still fueled his resentment.

"This kid is really petty and vindictive," the God of Evil couldn't help but remark.

The kid you chose is no different; he wiped out someone else's entire family, the Sea God thought to himself.

"Young people, huh?" he said.

The god of evil nodded, rose from his seat, and said, "I should go back now. Farewell."

After saying that, he left.

"You're no good either, spending your days spying on others." Sea God thought to himself as he watched the departing figure.

My gaze shifted, continuing to focus on the image.

The battles against Sea Ghost Douluo and Sea Star Douluo went relatively smoothly, and Tang San was not delayed for too long.

However, in the subsequent battle against the Sea Maiden Douluo, due to the suppression of his mental power, it took him more than half a month to adapt before he finally won with great difficulty.

Then they arrived before the Sea Dragon Douluo, the strongest of the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians, whose soul power reached level 95.

The first battle was a complete defeat.

Pure suppression through sheer strength.

"Damn it, you only ever use these few moves. Can't you at least have some original ideas?" The evil god, who had already returned to his residence, was speechless.

It felt like all that fighting had been for nothing; Tang San hadn't gained any real understanding.

"This is far too different." Compared to Long Yingtian, who can learn by analogy with just a glance, it feels like there's a world of difference.

He had witnessed Long Yingtian's past clashes with Tang San through Shura, making it easy for him to see the difference in their abilities.

"He actually likes this? Looks like Shura's taste isn't that great either," he thought to himself.

Looking back, time flew by, and four whole months passed before Tang San finally defeated the Sea Dragon Douluo.

From the first one to the last one, it took a total of 6 months.

"Terrible!" With a wave of his hand, the image vanished.

P.S.: To put it simply, the detailed process will not be elaborated upon.
