Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

the other side.

Upon hearing her younger sister Shui Yue'er's words, Shui Bing'er, who had already climbed to the forty-third step, was overwhelmed.

She struggled to support her trembling body, enduring the pressure from the light of the sea god, and said breathlessly, "Moon, our Four Elements Academy is not as good as the Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy, nor as good as the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Star Luo Royal Academy."

“They have large-scale simulated cultivation environments, while our Four Elements Academy does not have large-scale simulated cultivation environments, nor can we afford to build and maintain them.”

"The students in these academies improve their soul power level very quickly because they have large-scale simulated training environments to assist them."

"Because of this, how many times did we suffer from insufficient soul power levels during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament?"

"If I had had a soul power of level 50 or above back then, as long as Prince Dongqing didn't make a move, those few people from the Spirit Hall's elite soul master academy might not have been my match!"

"Now that we sisters have received Prince Dongqing's help, we have arrived at Seagod Island without any risk. We can cultivate in a place comparable to a large-scale simulated cultivation environment. How can you be so lazy, Yue'er...?"

For more than a month, Shui Bing'er has been challenging the Light of the Sea God. She has successfully climbed from the initial 30-plus levels to the current 43 levels.

However, this period of more than a month.

She wasn't challenging the Light of the Sea God day and night; while out for meals, she also learned some secrets from the local Sea God Island Sea Soul Masters.

There are actually very few Soul Masters like her who have set foot on Seagod Island; you might not see one every ten years.

Many people know the approximate location of Poseidon Island.

But knowing how terrifying Seagod Island was, they dared not come. Even those who were not afraid of death were eaten by the Great White Shark, a group of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, when they reached the outer perimeter of Seagod Island.

Simply put...

Without identity, background, or strength, they don't even have the right to set foot on Seagod Island.

.....

"Sister, say whatever you want, but all I want is to live off Prince Dongqing and be his wife."

Shui Yue'er shifted to a more comfortable position, her bright pupils gleaming with a lazy, carefree light.

She did not adopt the five-heart-facing-the-sky cultivation posture, but the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) continued to surge into her body under the pressure of the Sea God's light.

Finally, under immense external pressure, it automatically transformed into pure soul power.

Indeed, the Light of the Sea God has a very special nature; it can even help cultivate soul power!

“For a girl like you, talking about living off a man is just plain stupid. You’re not ambitious... just like what His Highness Dongqing called lying down.” Shui Bing’er said with extreme disappointment.

She always wanted to surpass Dongqing, but her younger sister ended up holding her back.

"Hmph hmph hmph... Lying flat is good, it's so comfortable!" Shui Yue'er hummed twice, speaking in a completely indifferent tone.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and go to sleep, a familiar figure appeared beside her.

Chapter 535, and this is the God-given Soul Ring.

"Moon, why aren't you trying to climb the Light of the Sea God? What are you doing lying here all by yourself?"

Dong Qing stared strangely at Shui Yue'er on the ground, looking at the woman who was lying on the ground and didn't want to move.

"Brother-in-law?"

Shuiyue wiped her eyes, a hint of disbelief in her pupils. After confirming that she wasn't seeing things, she forced herself to stand up despite the immense pressure from the Sea God's Light.

"Brother-in-law, Seagod Island is no good. I can't eat or sleep well here. I don't want to cultivate here anymore. Take me away!"

Without hesitation, Shuiyue jumped into Dongqing's arms, her long, white legs wrapping around his waist.

Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, who was feigning grievance, Dong Qing reached out and gently patted her head.

He said with a hint of helplessness, "Yue'er, how dare you complain to me? The first thing I saw when I arrived was you lying on the ground slacking off. Look at your sister, she works so hard, she's a thousand times better than you."

“That’s because she wanted to prove herself, but I’ve long since given up on trying,” Shui Yue’er said matter-of-factly.

"But are you really willing to remain mediocre and stay by my side as a decorative vase?" Dong Qing asked with some doubt.

He doesn't dislike vases; pretty vases like Shuiyue'er are quite nice.

A gentle, graceful face, a charming figure, and a playful, interesting personality.

Putting everything else aside, in short, it's worry-free.

At this time.

Upon hearing Dong Qing's question, Shui Yue'er glanced up at Shui Bing'er, who was working hard, and then looked down at Tang Yuehua, who was struggling.

"What's wrong with being a pretty face? Brother-in-law, today I want you to take me straight up the 333rd step of the Sea God's Light, so that all these hard-working people can see that hard work is worthless in the face of sucking up to someone powerful."

After saying that, she squeezed her long legs even tighter.

Like a koala clinging to Dongqing, Shuiyue'er longed for the scent of this man.

If we had to pinpoint the reason for her infatuation with him, it would be that she greatly admired the sense of security he exuded.

As she herself said, she wanted to be a decorative vase.

Women with this kind of personality are usually attracted to strength.

However, she is not the kind of woman without principles. Although she admires strength, she will also consider character and appearance. Only those who meet the standards in terms of strength, character, and appearance have the opportunity to make her so infatuated.

Dong Qing may not be her Prince Charming, but he is definitely the man who best meets her criteria for a partner.

“Moon, cheating like this might not count, and you might not be able to complete your assessment.” Dong Qing said hesitantly.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Good brother-in-law! Just take me up there and give it a try! How do you know it doesn't count if you haven't tried?" Shuiyue buried her head in Dongqing's arms and kept whining.

Brother-in-law?

Tang Yuehua stood behind Dong Qing, alone on the Sea God's Light Staircase. She was trying to climb the stairs to the sixth floor, but she couldn't take another step.

Hearing Shui Yue'er's sweet, coquettish voice, and her extremely coquettish tone when she called him "brother-in-law,"

Her face immediately showed an inscrutable expression, her emotions churning, and a sour feeling welled up inside her.

"I... I'm actually a little jealous?" Tang Yuehua thought incredulously.

She thought she would never fall in love again in her life.

Even though Dongqing was her man, he was just a man, not her lover.

But... why am I feeling jealous right now?

However, what Tang Yuehua herself didn't know was that she was actually a rather traditional woman, and whoever got her body could easily get her heart.

Dongqing was her first man and her last man.

Even though the age gap between them made her feel guilty all the time when she was with him at night, as if she was seducing an innocent young boy.

But deep in her heart, Dongqing's shadow was still etched, an indelible image.

Finally, it's worth mentioning that...

The reason Tang Yuehua was able to climb the Stairway of the Sea God's Light was because not long ago, the Sea Witch Douluo took her to the Seven Sacred Pillars of Mermaid City to put her to a test.

This is why, even though they were in Poseidon City, the three of them spent an hour on the road after finishing their meal before arriving at the Temple of Poseidon – simply because most of their time was wasted.

Nobody wants to run around, but there are some things you just can't do.

According to the Sea Witch Douluo's wishes.

This is a rule established long ago by the High Priest of Seagod Island, and visiting Soul Masters must abide by the rules of Seagod Island.

Even though the three of them had almost reached the foot of the Sea God Temple, they were only one inner sea [moat] away from the 333-story staircase leading to the Light of the Sea God.

However, for some serious Sea Witch Douluo, she couldn't care less about someone of Bibi Dong's level; that was something for her own Grand Elder, Poseidon, to worry about.

However, even a Soul Master like Tang Yuehua, whose Soul Power is only around level 20, still has to abide by the long-standing rules of Seagod Island.

And so, under Dongqing's utterly speechless gaze...

Sea Witch Douluo flew back to the Seven Sacred Pillars Mermaid City with Dong Qing and Tang Yuehua, and took Tang Yuehua to the Seven Sacred Pillars she was guarding to participate in the island entry assessment and certification.

Fortunately.

With Tang Yuehua's innate ninth-level soul power and the consumption of celestial herbs, she ultimately achieved a very high assessment level, earning her a red-level [Top-Tier Seventh Assessment].

......

"Let's give it a try. If it really fails, we can always start over!"

Dongqing finally couldn't resist Shuiyue'er's coquettishness and agreed to take her all the way to the highest point of the Sea God's Light.

"Thank you, brother-in-law! Long live brother-in-law!" Shui Yue'er shouted, raising her arms.

"Don't curse me, what do you mean by 'long live'? I don't want to die so young!" Dongqing patted the fat below Shuiyue'er's lower back, feeling the smoothness that belonged only to him.

"A curse?" Shui Yue'er didn't understand. Calling someone "Long live" was considered a curse.

Dongqing ignored Shuiyue'er's many questions and did not explain why he called the Emperor "cursing him".

He couldn't very well tell her that he was a pure-blooded Heavenly Horned Ant from the Perfect World, ranked among the Ten Fiends, and a Celestial King-level life form capable of destroying the world at any time upon reaching adulthood, and also the most top-tier long-lived species in all the heavens and myriad worlds.

soon.

After bringing those thoughts back to my senses.

Dong Qing, carrying Shui Yue'er, prepared to step directly onto the 333rd step of the Sea God's Light, but instead of going up, he took a few steps down.

After descending a few steps, he came to Tang Yuehua's side, reached out and pulled Shuiyue'er off his arms, and held the two of them in his arms, one on each side.

Shuiyue'er was indifferent to Dongqing's embrace of two women; she felt nothing and wasn't jealous. She just wanted to be a pretty face and cling tightly to Dongqing's leg.

Tang Yuehua, on the other hand, turned her head away angrily and pinched the soft flesh on Dong Qing's waist.

But as a mature and beautiful woman, she could still tell what was important and quietly leaned against him.

Just as Dong Qing embraced them all, a red trident mark suddenly appeared on his forehead, giving him a slightly itchy feeling. He reached out to try and wipe it off.

But just as his fingers were about to touch his forehead, he suddenly remembered Poseidon's warning to him, as well as the content of the first exam that he had almost completely forgotten.

"Don't touch the mark, it will fall off if you do. I exhausted all my soul power and only managed to carve a fake trident mark containing the power of the sea god on your brow."

Dongqing vaguely remembers.

At that time, Poseidon was exhausted of her soul power and looked sore and weak. In the end, she could only barely maintain her dignity as the High Priestess of Poseidon Island by relying on her own soul power.
