Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is a Simulator

Chapter 149 Divinely Bestowed Soul Ring

"Lord Muge, this is Mount Poseidon!"

"Your first assessment will take place here!"

"This staircase has a total of 1001 steps. Lord Muge, you only need to complete the required number of steps for the task!"

The next day, led by Vesna, the secretary of the high priest, the Pastor arrived at Mount Poseidon.

Looking out, Mount Poseidon soars into the clouds, with a staircase leading straight to the sky, majestic and imposing, like a road to heaven.

Mount Poseidon is surrounded by a huge ring of sea.

"Okay, I understand!"

Mu Ge nodded and then arrived at the foot of Poseidon Mountain.

In Muge's perception, an invisible barrier enveloped the entire Poseidon Mountain.

At the summit, a ray of light shines like a small sun, illuminating most of the 1,001 steps, growing stronger the higher one goes.

Shepherd knew it was the Light of the Sea God!

Mu Ge stretched out his hand and slowly touched the barrier.

Upon first touch, you can clearly feel a resistance, but it's not severe.

Mu Ge knew that as long as he wasn't attacked, this resistance would slowly increase.

However, if you attack it, it will bounce back twice as fast.

So Muge didn't attack at all, and just walked up to her.

hum-

In an instant, Mu Ge felt a pressure enveloping his entire body.

However, it wasn't too serious. Despite the pressure, Mu Ge slowly made his way up step by step.

With each step you climb, the pressure becomes heavier.

When Muge reached the 40th step, he found it difficult to move forward.

All of this was accomplished by Mu Ge without using any amplification soul skills. If he continues to ascend from here, he can use amplification soul skills to strengthen himself.

"call--"

"This is the best we can do; there's no need to push ourselves any further!"

Mu Ge stopped at the 40th step and did not continue upwards.

In any case, he is unlikely to complete the mission in the short term.

The first of his nine trials as Poseidon was climbing the 298th step.

At first, Mu Ge was a little speechless. Even with Tang San's double experience, he only managed to climb 333 steps.

Why does he need 298 steps under normal circumstances?

After walking up there himself, Mu Ge understood that although the increase from 298 to 333 steps might not seem like much, the difficulty had indeed doubled.

Because the higher you go, the harder it gets.

However, none of this has anything to do with Mu Ge, and we don't even know if Tang San is still around!

After stopping at the 40th step, Mu Ge sat cross-legged on it and began to cultivate.

Having watched the anime, he naturally knew that the so-called first test was actually a place to help Soul Masters cultivate quickly.

Cultivating here under the pressure of the sea god's light will greatly increase your training speed.

The reason why Muge did not use any amplification soul skills and continued to ascend was because of this.

When cultivating, he can no longer maintain the effect of his soul skill, so he has to step down.

So Mu Ge sat cross-legged on the 40th step and quietly began to cultivate.

……

"I actually discovered the secret of the first level right away!"

Inside the Sea God's Temple, Poseidon was once again astonished when she saw Mu Ge's performance through her soul skill.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone who knew how to use the pressure of the Sea God's Light to cultivate during their first test.

"If you can only reach 40 steps at the beginning, that's not very good. So how long will it take you to reach 298 steps?"

"You only have one year!"

Looking at Mu Ge as he cultivated, Poseidon remained calm, making it impossible to tell whether she hoped Mu Ge would pass or not.

"Back then, you almost made it to the top..."

Watching Mu Ge navigate through the Light of the Sea God, Poseidon quickly thought of Tang Chen again.

Although Tang Chen did not undergo the trials of Poseidon Island, as the high priestess of Poseidon Island, she granted Tang Chen special permission to undergo trials in the Light of Poseidon.

Tang Chen's performance was also amazing; she almost reached the top of the 1001 steps.

"Perhaps only a god can reach the very top!"

Poseidon whispered something and waved his hand to dispel the soul skill of observing pastoral songs.

She knew that Mu Ge would probably be focused on cultivation for the foreseeable future and wouldn't be attempting any new challenges so soon, so there was nothing for her to worry about.

……

hum-

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Mu Ge, who was cultivating on the 60th step, felt a fluctuation in his soul power.

"Level 70!"

Mu Ge opened her eyes and slowly exhaled.

Originally, based on his usual cultivation speed, he could only advance one level in three months, but under the pressure of the Sea God's Light, he advanced by almost two levels.

The reason it's described as being roughly two levels is because Mu Ge also practiced cultivation during the more than one month he spent at sea.

"I'm level 70 now, shouldn't Poseidon appear by now?"

Muge slowly stood up, thinking that Poseidon should appear by now.

During the Seagod Island assessment period, anyone who achieves a major breakthrough will receive a divinely bestowed soul ring from Seagod Island.

Such a spirit ring is the most suitable for a spirit master.

However, the quality of the spirit ring one can obtain depends on one's own capacity to bear the consequences.

In the anime, Tang San obtained a divinely bestowed spirit ring that lasted for 100,000 years.

"Tang San obtained a 100,000-year spirit ring, so I can't fall behind!"

Mu Ge thought to himself.

hum-

At that very moment, a surge of soul power emanated from beside Mu Ge.

Poseidon's stunningly beautiful figure did indeed appear.

"Pastoral Song! Congratulations on reaching level 70!"

After Poseidon appeared, she first congratulated Muge.

"Greetings, High Priest. You've come to deliver the divinely bestowed Soul Ring to me, haven't you?"

Shepherd nodded to Poseidon and then asked.

He didn't know if Poseidon would keep his divinely bestowed soul ring, but if he spoke up and showed that he knew about the divinely bestowed soul ring, Poseidon would definitely have no choice but to give it to him.

It's not surprising that Muge knew.

In the past three months, besides cultivating in the Light of the Sea God, Mu Ge also frequently visited the Sea Witch.

He couldn't stand the monotonous days of focusing solely on cultivation; he needed to find something to relax.

Therefore, conquering the sea witch would be the best spice in his monotonous days of diligent cultivation!

During these three months, Mu Ge had the Sea Witch take him around the entire Poseidon Island, making him thoroughly familiar with it.

Shepherd also met the other six guardians of the Holy Pillars.

I managed to become somewhat familiar with the face of the company.

The main reason is that Muge didn't intend to get to know the other Holy Pillar Guardians well; getting to know them was enough.

"You, an outsider, seem to know everything about the Seagod Island's assessment!"

Upon hearing Mu Ge's words, Poseidon chuckled and said, "That's right, I've come to give you the divinely bestowed Soul Ring!"

"As for what quality of spirit ring you get, that's up to you!"
