Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 93 Shui Bing'er

Upon returning to Earth, the seven pillars of Poseidon knelt before Poseidon: "We apologize, High Priest, we have disappointed you."

Poseidon said calmly, "It's alright. Their tactics were excellent, and the quality of their spirit rings surpasses yours. Your defeat is to be expected."

Xiao Fei and the others stepped forward and bowed to Poseidon and the Sea Dragon Fighting Human Douluo: "Thank you for your guidance, Seven Holy Pillars."

The seven Sea Dragon Douluo nodded slightly, but inwardly they were all complaining: Five Soul Douluos against seven Title Douluos? What kind of challenge is this? They actually unleashed their ultimate moves right from the start, without even testing each other. This is so unsportsmanlike!

A voice echoed in Xiao Fei's mind: "Wang Xiao Fei, sixth test of the Red-level Ninth Trial, led Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, and Shui Bing'er to challenge the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island. The test was completed beyond expectations. Reward: all soul rings will have their age increased by 5000 years."

Meanwhile, Huo Wu and the others received notifications that they had completed the assessment. Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang each gained one level of soul power, Huo Wu gained one level of soul power, and her soul ring duration increased by 1000 years. Shui Bing'er increased her affinity with the Sea God by 10% and gained one level of soul power.

As expected, Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian did not have the protagonist's halo; after completing all the trials, they did not receive any additional soul power boosts or divinely bestowed soul rings.

At this point, Xiao Fei and his companions had completed the sixth test of the Seagod Island assessment. Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian had completed all the tests and obtained Seagod Island Black-level access. Huo Wu and Wang Xiaofei obtained Seagod Island Red-level access.

Xiao Fei found it a bit strange. How come he obtained red-level privileges without even completing all the assessments?

Xiao Fei's soul power is level 90 (92), and his soul rings are black black black black black red red red.

Huo Wu's soul power level is 88, and her soul rings are purple-purple-purple-purple-black-black-black-red.

Shui Bing'er's soul power level is 83, and her affinity with the Sea God is 15%.

Huo Wushuang's soul power is level 88, Feng Xiaotian's soul power is level 86, Yang Pojun's is level 74, and Niu Meng's is level 75.

Suddenly, the red Poseidon Island assessment mark on Xiao Fei's forehead flashed, and an assessment card appeared in his hand: "Wang Xiao Fei, Poseidon Island Red-Level Nine Trials, Seventh Trial: Find the Fire God's Inheritance Site. Time Limit: None. After completing the assessment, return to Poseidon Island to resume the Red-Level Nine Trials assessment. Hint: Ultimate." Immediately afterward, the Red-Level Nine Trials mark on Xiao Fei's forehead disappeared.

Huo Wu's test was similar to Xiao Fei's; she had to help Xiao Fei find the place where the God of Fire inherited his legacy, and the test mark between her eyebrows would disappear.

Shui Bing'er's test is quite interesting. It also involves helping Xiao Fei find the place where the God of Fire inherits his legacy, but the time limit is ten years. Failure will result in a deduction of five levels of soul power. Regardless of whether she fails or succeeds, she can continue to participate in the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

Xiao Fei carefully looked at the assessment content. Shui Bing'er was already the successor of the Sea God, yet she still had to go with him to find the place of the Fire God's inheritance. Wasn't that a waste of time? And why was it ten years?

Xiao Fei suddenly frowned, realizing the Sea God's purpose: the Sea God was probably gambling, betting that Tang San could become the new Sea God. If Tang San succeeded, Shui Bing'er's Nine Trials of the Sea God would be meaningless; if Tang San failed, Shui Bing'er would continue the trials. There was no loss in the end. Clearly, the Sea God favored Tang San more. As expected of the original protagonist, even with Xiao Fei seizing many opportunities, his talent remained outstanding.

Xiao Fei felt something was off. Why could Shui Bing'er continue the trials regardless of whether she succeeded or failed? As a god, his words were divine pronouncements. If Tang San became a god, what would be the point of Shui Bing'er's divine trials? Could there be a deeper meaning to all of this?

As for the clues about the location of the God of Fire's inheritance, Xiao Fei had no clue for the time being, so he decided to leave it for later and deal with it when he got back.

In the realm of the gods, at the Temple of the Sea God, the Sea God and the Fire God are together again, but this time they're not drinking tea, they're drinking wine.

The God of Fire looked at the God of the Sea with a hint of surprise: "God of the Sea, you have that much faith in that successor, Tang San?"

Poseidon smiled and said, "This isn't a matter of confidence. Shui Bing'er is quite different from Tang San in both talent and experience. Searching for your inheritance site is a kind of training. Rather than staying on Poseidon Island to train hard, it's better for her to go out and gain more life experience. Otherwise, she won't be able to pass the ninth trial of Poseidon at all. And there might be other surprises."

Vulcan nodded: "You're quite nice to this little girl."

"I do quite like this girl's personality, but unfortunately, she's still lacking. As for you, with just a two-word hint, do you think that kid can find the Temple of Vulcan?"

"I can't help it. The Temple of Fire has been missing from the Douluo Continent for over 100,000 years. There are basically no clues about the Temple of Fire on the Douluo Continent now, unlike you, who have the Seagod Island as your inheritance site. And recently, for some reason, it seems that the God of Asura is watching me. Giving those two words is already a violation of the rules of the God Realm."

Suddenly, a flash of red light appeared, and the God of Asura appeared in the Sea God's Temple: "I recently heard that someone has violated the rules of the divine realm, so I came here specifically to see. Sea God, Fire God, could it be you two?"

The sudden appearance of the Asura God startled the Fire God so much that he almost vomited all over the Sea God's face.

"God of Asura, the God of Fire and I were just having a few drinks together. That shouldn't be considered a violation of the rules of the divine realm, right?" the Sea God quickly said.

The Asura God's expression was serious: "Of course this doesn't violate the rules of the divine realm, but I heard you recently found two promising talents. Would you like me to give them a try?"

"I just saw two promising talents who are suitable to serve as my subordinates. I won't trouble Lord Asura with such a small matter," the Sea God hurriedly said, but in his heart he kept muttering, "If I let you conduct the assessment, these two inheritors will be crippled even if they don't die."

"Since that's the case, then I won't ask any further questions, but you must remember the rules of the God Realm." With a flash of red light, the Asura God departed.

The sea god and the fire god exchanged a glance, said nothing, and simply continued drinking.

On Seagod Island in Douluo Continent, Xiao Fei and his six companions are preparing to leave the island.

Originally, Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, Yang Pojun, and Niu Meng, who were participating in the Black-level assessment, were not allowed to leave Seagod Island. However, as companions of those taking the Red-level and Seagod Nine Assessments, accompanying them to continue the assessment was permitted. Therefore, they were not restricted and left with Xiao Fei and Shui Bing'er, even Poseidon agreed.

Xiao Fei and his group of seven arrived at the beach and used grilled meat to summon Xiao Bai. Through Xiao Bai, they learned that a fleet of ships would be delivering supplies to Poseidon Island in the next few days, and they would be able to leave Poseidon Island with the fleet.

Next came the barbecue. Everyone was relieved of the pressure of the assessment and felt very relaxed. Besides, they probably wouldn't be back from Poseidon Island for a long time.

For Xiaofei and his six companions, Xiaobai had been a great help to them over the years. He was their teacher who taught them how to fight in the sea, and also a partner they had fought alongside. Before leaving, they expressed their gratitude and bid him farewell.

For this barbecue, Xiao Fei and his friends brought out dozens of jars of liquor. Everyone drank and chatted excitedly. When they got really into it, Shui Bing'er even did a dance for everyone. Everyone also tacitly refrained from using their soul power to resist the alcohol. They drank until the entire beach was a mess, littered with empty liquor jars. Everyone was drunk.

The next day, as the sun shone on the beach, Xiao Fei groggily woke up. In his daze, he was still holding someone in his arms. He initially thought it was Huo Wu, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was someone dressed in blue.

Xiao Fei instantly woke up. He had actually slept with Shui Bing'er in his arms all night. It seemed that Shui Bing'er had also woken up because of Xiao Fei's movements. However, when Shui Bing'er saw that she was in Xiao Fei's arms, her face turned bright red, and she quickly pushed Xiao Fei away.

Xiao Fei watched Shui Bing'er run away with a blush on her face, feeling a pang of regret: It felt so good when I was holding her, why did she wake up so quickly? What a waste of such a great opportunity. Recalling the feeling of holding Shui Bing'er, so soft and gentle, she truly lived up to her reputation as a girl from Tianshui.

Xiao Fei looked around. Xiao Bai had obviously already returned to the sea. The others were lying haphazardly on the beach, especially Huo Wu, who was sleeping in a starfish position, completely lacking any semblance of decorum.

Xiao Fei shook his head, first carrying Huo Wu back into the tent, then waking everyone up. Xiao Fei couldn't help but sigh, "They're both beautiful women, but the feeling of holding them is so different!"
