Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

Dugu Yan, Red-level Seventh Examination!

Seeing this, even the well-informed Poseidon couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Xuan Hao is a monster who cannot be judged by common sense, which is one thing, but how come the two little girls he brought with him also triggered the red-level assessment?!

It's important to know that in the history of Poseidon Island, only the successor of the High Priest is qualified to trigger the Red-level assessment!

Xuan Hao was not surprised at all.

Hu Liena's talent is already among the top in the continent. As for Dugu Yan, needless to say, back in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, her martial soul directly evolved into a true dragon species - the Azure Phosphorous Poison Dragon. Her talent and potential have undergone a tremendous qualitative change, so it is entirely reasonable for her to obtain a red-level seventh trial.

However, Xuan Hao touched the red eight-pointed star mark on his forehead and frowned in confusion:

"High Priest, what is the content of my divine test? Why is my mind blank? There are no hints at all."

Poseidon looked at him, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural, and said in a low voice, "Because the content of your test is rather special... the hint was sent to me."

Xuan Hao was taken aback: "What is it?"

Poseidon took a deep breath and slowly uttered a few words: "Pass through the light of the sea god and ascend to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Steps."

Xuan Hao's eyes twitched violently twice: "No... are you serious? Reach the top?! That's a full 1001 steps, right? The residual pressure of the Sea God's Light on those steps would probably require a level 99 Peerless Douluo, or even a demigod, to climb up!"

Poseidon shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "I don't know the exact difficulty, but this is the first test personally set by the Sea God. I think... it's probably because you looked down on his divine position and gave me the Heart of the Sea God like a cabbage, so the Sea God is angry."

Poseidon looked at him and said, "So, the difficulty of your divine exam is doubled."

"Moreover, you only have one year to complete this assessment. You must reach the top within one year. Otherwise, you will fail the assessment and be expelled from Seagod Island."

Xuan Hao rolled his eyes at the sound of it.

That old sea god Deng is so petty!

Chapter 417 A Frenzied Sprint Across 100 Levels, Xuan Hao Forcefully Breaks Through the Nine Heavens Mystic Ranks

……

Just then, Poseidon flipped her wrist, and a golden bead appeared in her palm: "Oh, right, this is for you. You're currently at the level 80 bottleneck and need to acquire your eighth spirit ring. This divinely bestowed spirit ring is a reward you should receive according to the rules of the red-level assessment."

Xuan Hao took the bead that exuded a sacred aura and sighed helplessly, "Alright, since I'm already here, I'll level up first."

After saying that, he sat down cross-legged at the foot of the mountain, released his immense spiritual power, communicated with the divinely bestowed soul ring, and began to absorb it.

……

three days later.

Xuan Hao slowly opened his eyes, a flash of crimson-gold light disappearing from them.

Beneath his feet, a deep, blood-gold-tinged, 100,000-year-old red soul ring hovered silently.

Eighth spirit ring, 300,000 years!

This is the absolute limit that his current physical strength and mental power can withstand.

In fact, in terms of physical body alone, with the Golden Dragon bloodline as a foundation, he could still go even further, and even challenge 500,000 years.

However, his mental strength has reached a bottleneck, and if he were to forcibly absorb it, he would likely suffer a mental breakdown.

Xuan Hao stood up and exhaled a breath of stale air.

He looked up and saw that Hu Liena and Dugu Yan had already begun to attempt to climb the Nine Heavens Mysterious Steps during the three-day break.

The difficulty of their assessments was far less insane than his.

Dugu Yan's first goal was 136 steps, while Hu Liena's was 228 steps.

However, even so, for them now, the terrifying repulsive force of the Sea God's Light is still an insurmountable mountain.

The two were struggling to stay on the dozens of steps, sweating profusely.

Seeing Xuan Hao wake up, Na'er, Xiao Wu, and several other girls who had been watching over him rushed over.

"Brother, you succeeded?" Na'er handed him a towel.

Xuan Hao took the towel and wiped his face, stretched his muscles and bones which were popping like beans, and fixed his gaze on the Sea God's Staircase that stretched straight into the clouds.

"I'll go up and try it out first, and see how high I can go in one go with my current strength." Xuan Hao squinted his eyes. "This stupid test is definitely problematic. I want to see what kind of trouble that old Sea God has set up for me."

Upon hearing this, Na'er and the others immediately and obediently stepped back a distance.

Xuan Hao took a deep breath, his eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp.

Faced with this "super-doubled" test, he had no intention of wasting any time testing the waters; instead, he went all out from the start!

"Golden dragon body!"

"Golden Dragon Overlord Body!"

"Golden Dragon's Rampage Domain!"

Amidst a series of low shouts, dazzling golden light mixed with scarlet blood and qi erupted from Xuan Hao's body!

Without hesitation, he activated all the available buffs to their maximum in an instant!

Then, to everyone's astonishment, instead of climbing step by step with difficulty like the other examinees, he took off with his long legs and ran wildly down the Nine Heavens Mystic Steps like a raging humanoid tyrannosaurus!

"Whoosh-!"

With a sharp whooshing sound, Xuan Hao's figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt, rushing up dozens of steps!

The Sea Dragon Douluo and several other Holy Pillar Guardians, who were watching from afar and had been drawn here by the strange phenomenon of the Red-level assessment, all had their eyes twitching violently at the sight of this scene.

run?!

This kid is actually running?!

After guarding Poseidon Island for so many years, this is truly the first time they've ever seen someone run instead of walk under the terrifying pressure of Poseidon's Light!

"He's insane! Even if the pressure from the previous dozens of levels isn't much to him, the way he's running will exponentially increase his stamina and soul power consumption!"

Seahorse Douluo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "The Light of the Sea God needs time to gradually adapt to and resist! His reckless actions are simply courting death!"

However, Xuan Hao's speed did not stop at all!

"Whoosh!"

He stirred up a gust of wind, instantly overtaking Dugu Yan who was gritting her teeth and persevering, and then overtaking Hu Liena who had reached level 70 or above. Without slowing down, he continued to rush upwards against the increasingly terrifying pressure!

Level 100! Level 200! Level 300!

When Xuan Hao had been sprinting wildly for over four hundred steps, his lightning-fast speed finally slowed down inevitably, turning into a heavy climb.

Below, whether it was Dugu Yan and Hu Liena, or the Seven Holy Pillars Guardians in the distance, everyone was completely numb at this moment.

This guy... he actually managed to leave the two of them far behind in one go!

Just when everyone thought that Xuan Hao's sprint had come to an end and that he was about to stop and rest because he couldn't take it anymore.

Xuan Hao's deep seventh soul ring suddenly flashed with a dazzling light!

"Roar--!"

A deep dragon's roar echoed within the light of the sea god.

Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes widened instantly, "He...he's going to activate his Martial Soul True Body here?!"

"Are you crazy?!"

Activating one's Martial Soul True Body within the range of the Sea God's Light will not only multiply the area affected by the force due to the enormous size of the body, but will also trigger an even more terrifying repulsion and backlash from the Sea God's Light! This is simply courting death!

As the seventh spirit ring flashed, the edge of the originally black spirit ring began to shimmer with an eerie red light.

Under the extreme pressure of the Sea God's Light, this growth-type soul ring, formed from the remnant soul of an ancient true dragon, was frantically absorbing the pressure and rapidly transforming into a true 100,000-year red soul ring!

Furthermore, his physical appearance remained unchanged, but the attribute enhancement of his Martial Soul True Body was directly added to his body at this moment!

Strength, defense, and health all surged instantly!

"boom!"

Xuan Hao stomped his foot, straightening his bent back once more. Then, enduring the terrifying pressure that could crush an ordinary Title Douluo into mincemeat, he began to run wildly again!

Level 500! Level 600! Level 700!

With that burst of energy, he actually charged straight into the forbidden zone, which was over 800 levels high!

Just as he gritted his teeth and stepped heavily onto the 888th step!

"Buzz—!!!"

An immense pressure, indescribable and utterly irresistible, suddenly erupted from the direction of the Temple of Poseidon!

That was no longer just pressure, but a tangible light, like the water pressure at the deepest part of the ocean!

This light, carrying the will of the gods, struck Xuan Hao relentlessly on both the physical and spiritual levels!

"puff!"

Xuan Hao felt a tooth-grinding groan emanating from his bones, and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string by this terrifying repulsive force!

A golden streak of light flashed across the sky above Poseidon Mountain. The force of the rebound was so great that Xuan Hao was unable to maintain his balance in mid-air. He was like a falling meteorite, crashing straight down to the ground at the foot of the mountain!

At this critical moment.

Inside the Temple of Poseidon, another, relatively gentle, light of Poseidon erupted.

Poseidon's figure appeared as if by teleportation behind Xuan Hao's falling trajectory.

With a wave of her jade hand, the immense power of the sea god transformed into an invisible giant net, steadily supporting Xuan Hao and dissipating all the terrifying impact, allowing him to land smoothly at the foot of the mountain.

The two landed.

Poseidon looked at Xuan Hao, whose face was slightly pale and whose chest was heaving violently, her beautiful face full of speechlessness: "Can you take it easy?"

"Straight ahead to level 888! Do you know that's an absolute forbidden zone that even most titled Douluos above level 95 can't reach!"

"And you charged forward without any hesitation! Your reckless actions have greatly increased the consumption of your physical and spiritual energy, which will not only prevent you from going further, but will also cause you to get injured!"

Xuan Hao took a few deep breaths, circulating his abundant internal energy to calm his surging soul power and somewhat turbulent mental state.

He raised his head, looking up at the towering Nine Heavens Mystic Steps that seemed to reach into the clouds.

"High Priest, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

"I did that not to show off, but to test the absolute limit I could reach in this state in one breath."
