I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

After giving Ma Xiaotao a good scolding and making her reflect on her actions, Xu Xingyu told her to rest well for the next few days, and then focus on cultivating and digesting the insights she had gained from the battle. After that, they could head to Dragon Valley together. [Read, error-free chapters]

To Xu Xingyu's surprise, Ma Xiaotao told him that she wouldn't be going to Dragon Valley this time, but instead wanted to go back and continue her Vermilion Bird assessment.

The previous battle with Qian Gu Tian Zhang and Xu Xing Yu's reprimand made her realize her shortcomings, so she planned to follow the example of Dong Er and the others and calm down to focus her time on the Divine Examination.

At first, Xu Xingyu thought that Ma Xiaotao had made this choice because he had scolded her too harshly before, but after Ma Xiaotao explained, he understood her decision.

At the same time, I feel a little gratified that Ma Xiaotao has begun to vaguely realize her own shortcomings and has begun to make changes.

Originally, he did not intend to bring Ma Xiaotao along. One reason was that Dragon Valley itself was not particularly helpful to Ma Xiaotao, and another reason was that he wanted her to concentrate on the Divine Examination.

It's important to understand that the Vermilion Bird's test is far more rigorous than that of a certain former Sea God, who focused solely on establishing authority and faith and even forcibly instilled power to boost cultivation. It's a divine test that demands a high level of both strength and mental fortitude.

Firstly, there's no such thing as increasing soul power by a certain number of levels during the entire assessment, because such a forced infusion method could lead to instability in the foundation in the short term. The biggest example is the former Sea God Tang San, who discovered this fact during his years of planning regarding the power of faith and destiny in Douluo Continent.

Therefore, in order to stabilize his cultivation, Tang San chose to absorb a large amount of faith power and fortune power from the Douluo Continent, so that he could stabilize his cultivation in the shortest possible time.

The downside is that he himself becomes dependent on these powers of faith and fortune. Once he loses these powers of faith and fortune, he will not only be reduced to his original form but will also suffer a backlash. Even the sea god position that he originally elevated to the level of god-king will eventually fall to the point where he cannot even hold onto the position of a first-level god.

At that time, the Douluo Star Lord, who had not yet had his powers as the Lord of the Plane and the Core of Life taken away by Tang Hao and A Yin, also realized this.

Therefore, the Star Lord also made its first anti-Tang act, which was to deliberately instigate a collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, and then use the soul tools produced by the Sun Moon Continent to suppress the Tang Sect's hidden weapons.

Of course, when making this choice, the Star Lord did not expect that this move would be a bit too powerful, causing the Tang Sect to decline at an extremely fast speed, which caught Tang San's attention. As a result, Tang San, in a fit of anger, seized the power of the Plane Lord and the Core of Life, and then gave it to his parents.

If Xu Xingyu, the reincarnation of the Star Dragon Emperor, hadn't come to Douluo Continent, the Star Lord's fate would probably have been to have all his power taken away by Tang Hao and A Yin, and then be replaced by them.

Returning to the Vermilion Bird Trial, since this divine trial does not offer the reward of forcibly bestowing soul power, most of the cultivation improvements in the Vermilion Bird Divine Trial are actually part of the assessment itself.

However, how much a person can gain from this assessment depends mainly on their character and willpower. Each assessment serves as a training exercise while also subtly suggesting ways to cultivate the examinee's character.

If the examiner doesn't pay attention to these hints and just focuses on completing the assessment, then the chances of failing the final ninth exam are very high.

Xu Xingyu was worried about Ma Xiaotao inheriting the Vermilion Bird Godhood because she feared that Ma Xiaotao's impetuous and restless nature would prevent her from noticing these hints and ultimately causing her to fail in the ninth test.

It's important to understand that the Vermilion Bird Trial is different from the Nine Trials of the Fire God that her ancestors undertook. Failure doesn't grant any participation prize of a second-level godhood; failure means death.

The reason why the Vermilion Bird God's test is so harsh is because the Vermilion Bird God's fire attribute is her secondary attribute, while her true attribute is the Samsara attribute.

Therefore, every assessment is more or less related to the concept of reincarnation, which is one of the most powerful laws in this world. So when Suzaku selects a successor, he must also have very high requirements for the successor's character.

However, seeing Ma Xiaotao's current state, Xu Xingyu felt a little relieved. Although her temper was still there, at least she could calm down and think things through now. Even if there were problems with the Vermilion Bird Divine Trial she was about to face, she should be able to handle them on her own.

The remaining shortcomings can only be addressed by Ma Xiaotao's own understanding during the divine test. Only in this way can Ma Xiaotao truly grow.

After dealing with Ma Xiaotao's matter, Xu Xingyu went to the Earth Dragon Gate to check on how Xu Yanxue and Bai Xiuxiu were doing in the Earth Dragons' Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Cave.

Bai Xiuxiu was doing well. Because of her young age, after absorbing a small portion of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, she used a special storage soul tool to store several strands of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. When her cultivation level is high enough, she can actively absorb the energy of those Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Xu Yanxue encountered a problem: after absorbing a large amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, she fell into deep meditation and it was unclear when it would end.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu could only ask Nan Shuishui, the sect leader of the Earth Dragon Gate, to arrange for some people to keep an eye on Xu Yanxue to prevent her from making any mistakes during her cultivation. Then, she took the people she had and headed to Dragon Valley, since Gu Yuena had already started urging Xu Xingyu there.

Nan Shuishui dared not refuse, and promised that she would not let Xu Yanxue have any problems. Her only request was that she could bring her daughter Nan Qiuqiu on this trip to Dragon Valley.

Xu Xingyu didn't care about this. In the past few days, the Earth Dragon Gate, as a subordinate force of the Spirit Pagoda, had helped a lot. Nan Qiuqiu herself was also quite talented, and her martial soul, the Rouge Dragon, was one of the best among sub-dragon species. As long as she obtained enough opportunities in Dragon Valley, even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex would not be unsurpassable.

The only funny thing is that Nan Qiuqiu was also watching the match between Qiling Tower and Niling Alliance near the venue, and thus witnessed the terrifying combat power of Xu Xingyu, who looked even younger than her. This time, she was not as lawless and unreasonable as before, but rather more cautious, as if she knew that she was like a kitten that had made a mistake.

After witnessing Xu Xingyu's true strength, she knew that the gap between her and Xu Xingyu was like that between a firefly and the bright moon. In such a completely incomparable situation, it was impossible for her to make such a bold statement about wanting to replace him as the disciple of the Silver Dragon Douluo. That was something she wouldn't even dare to dream of doing now.
