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

Soon, the group arrived at the Dragon Pool, the testing ground for the first of the Nine Trials of the Dragon God. It was a special location connected to the lake formed from the condensed essence of the Dragon Cloud Flower outside the Star Dragon Tower, situated on the first basement level.

Before Xu Xingyu was a special space resembling a cave, and in the center of the cave was a large lake-like structure—that was their destination, the Divine Dragon Pool.

According to A Jin, this Divine Dragon Pool was created from the energy and essence contained in the Dragon Cloud Lake outside the Star Dragon Tower and the true dragon bones and corpses buried here.

If you absorb energy from the Divine Dragon Pool to cultivate here, your cultivation speed will be dozens of times faster than outside. Furthermore, if you dive into the Divine Dragon Pool, your cultivation speed will be even faster, and you can also temper your blood and spirit through the unique pressure of the Divine Dragon Pool.

However, one must be careful when diving into the Dragon Pool. The pressure of the water in the Dragon Pool is several times that of the ocean. Therefore, if one's physical condition is not good enough, one will be overwhelmed by the pressure of the Dragon Pool and eventually become part of the Dragon Pool.

But the dangers of the Dragon Pool are not limited to this. In addition to its unique water pressure, there are also the water beasts born in the Dragon Pool.

These water beasts are the product of the combined energy of the dragon clan's remaining will buried here and the water of the Divine Dragon Pool. They have little intelligence and, no matter how strong they become, they cannot develop their own independent selves.

However, their strength is indeed genuine, because among the fallen dragons who gave birth to them were countless god-level dragons. Therefore, the weakest of them is a Soul Saint, and the strongest has the combat power of a demigod.

Therefore, those who venture into the Divine Dragon Pool to cultivate must also defend against attacks from the water beasts, otherwise they may be devoured by the water beasts and become their nourishment.

Note that it's not that the Divine Dragon Pool cannot produce god-level powerhouses; it's just that the Divine Dragon Pool itself has a special formation to protect the spirits of the fallen dragons hidden within it, allowing their spirits to be baptized by the Divine Dragon Pool and maintained for a long time.

This gives them the possibility of reincarnation, so the Dragon Pool itself can be considered a special cemetery exclusively for dragons.

It is precisely because of the existence of this formation that the water beasts, which are born from the residual intelligence that has dissipated from the dragon corpses, are unable to absorb too much of that spiritual energy to successfully gather their spiritual energy.

This prevents the water beasts living in the Divine Dragon Pool from breaking through to the demigod level and becoming true god-level powerhouses, because their spiritual power can never reach the god level.

Of course, another reason is that every now and then, A Jin and Xiao Dong would clean the Dragon Pool and harvest most of the water beasts that were preparing to reach the god level.

Although the formation prevents them from reaching godhood, these water beasts will still rely on their instincts to attempt to reach godhood at the right time.

Every time they do this, it generates a large amount of energy impact. It's fine once or twice, but if they do it every time, the intelligence guarding those dragon corpses will eventually develop cracks, giving those water beasts an opportunity to truly break through to the god level.

At that time, the Dragon Pool was not a place for the dragons to find peace after their deaths, but a place where they would never be reincarnated.

Because when those water beasts achieve godhood, they will definitely absorb an excessive amount of spiritual energy from the dragon corpse, thereby gaining their own intelligence.

The spirits of those fallen dragons will eventually become nourishment for the water beasts, and they will never find peace. This is why the Dragon Pool must be cleaned every once in a while.

Despite the dangers contained within the Divine Dragon Pool, the benefits it brings to cultivators are also extremely substantial.

The so-called benefits do not simply refer to the accelerated cultivation effect of the Divine Dragon Pool, but also refer to the water beast itself.

After a water beast perishes, it leaves behind a blood crystal. This blood crystal is considered one of the most precious treasures. If the water beast was powerful enough in life, the blood crystal it leaves behind can rival or even surpass a celestial-grade treasure.

Of course, the best way to use these blood crystals is not to absorb them directly, but to trigger the baptism of the divine dragon.

Around the end of each month, as long as the blood crystal is integrated into the Divine Dragon Pool, it can trigger the Divine Dragon Baptism, and the cultivation level of the person who receives the baptism will be greatly improved without forcing the growth.

This so-called Dragon Baptism is also divided into different levels: lower-level baptism, middle-level baptism, higher-level baptism, and perfect baptism.

The different levels of baptisms are determined by how many blood crystals each person contributes to the Dragon Pool at the end of each month.

If calculated based on Soul Saint-level Blood Crystals, then one hundred Blood Crystals must be delivered by the end of the month to trigger a low-level baptism, one thousand for a medium-level baptism, ten thousand for a high-level baptism, and one hundred thousand for the highest-level perfect baptism.

The conversion between blood crystals is done according to the following allocation method:

Ten Soul Saint Blood Crystals are equal to one Soul Douluo Blood Crystal

Ten Soul Douluo Blood Crystals are equal to one Title Douluo Blood Crystal

Ten Title Douluo Blood Crystals are equal to one Super Douluo Blood Crystal

Ten Super Douluo Blood Crystals are equal to one Ultimate Douluo Blood Crystal

Ten Limit Douluo Blood Crystals are equal to one Demigod Blood Crystal

According to this classification, as long as a person can hunt down a demigod-level water beast, they can directly obtain the qualification for a perfect baptism within a month.

However, even in the Divine Dragon Pool, demigod-level water beasts are rarely seen. Moreover, whenever a demigod-level water beast is present, A Jin and the others will sense it and clean it up. Therefore, it is unrealistic to directly kill a demigod-level water beast to obtain a perfect baptism.

Moreover, Xu Xingyu might not even be able to win against such a powerful water beast in her current state.

Although Xu Xingyu possesses god-level mental strength and god-level blood energy, the demigod-level water beasts also possess god-level blood energy and are at the god-level in terms of energy. Their only weakness is their mental strength. Considering their home-field advantage, Xu Xingyu will definitely pay a price even if she wins.

After listening to Ah Jin's explanation of the rules of the Divine Dragon Pool, Xu Xingyu greeted Ah Jin and said, "I understand, thank you for your explanation, but if I still have any questions, may I ask again?"

"Sure," Ah Jin nodded, "as long as it's not related to the assessment focus."

After saying that, A Jin pulled Gu Yuena aside and said, "Alright, now you and that little auspicious beast can go and experience the Dragon Pool yourselves! I still have some things to say to His Excellency the Silver Dragon King."

After watching Gu Yuena reluctantly leave with A Jin, Xu Xingyu turned to Gu Qiuxi. After confirming with her, the two jumped into the Divine Dragon Pool to begin their assessment.
