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

However, what Poseidon didn't know was...

Just as she gave up the idea that kept urging her to take action, the little red flag moved away from the flagpole that was eager to be used behind her head.

"I suddenly experienced a sharp pain in my chest, and the pain made me faint. I don't know what happened... Could it be that I'm being punished for repeatedly helping others cheat on exams?"

Dong Qing kept taking deep breaths. The pain in his heart made his face pale, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say. In the end, he could only manage to squeeze out this sentence.

He felt as if his heart had turned into a flame, constantly forging the pure bloodline of the Heavenly Horned Ant within his body, making it both stronger and purer.

Gradually...

Without Dong Qing's knowledge.

The blood flowing through his body, shimmering with a pale golden luster, began to condense into pure golden blood. The strength of his bloodline showed a tendency to surpass that of the first pure-blooded Heavenly Horned Ant in the creation of the Perfect World.

The pure-blooded Skyhorned Ant is merely a racial talent, a bloodline talent bestowed upon Dongqing by heaven.

Among the Ten Fierce Horned Ants, there are only nine pure-blooded horned ants. Dong Qing, as the ninth pure-blooded horned ant, is definitely not as strong as the first eight pure-blooded horned ants in terms of bloodline strength at birth.

But now, Dongqing has experienced the endless chaotic sea, traveled through several great universes and worlds, and experienced the reversal and rebirth of his bloodline in the Douluo World.

His bloodline had become very powerful. Among the Ten Fierce Heavenly Horned Ants, his bloodline strength was comparable to, or even surpassed, that of the first pure-blooded Heavenly Horned Ant ancestor since the beginning of time.

.......

"Retribution? Your guess is very likely. However, it's not because you helped others cheat on the exam that you're being punished. It's definitely because you attacked me for no reason that you're being punished."

Poseidon smiled; it was a happy smile.

Now that she had made her decision, those evil thoughts in her mind naturally disappeared, and she returned to her usual arrogant demeanor.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to help out. The teacher needs me, as her companion, to help her with her divine exam, otherwise her reward will be very meager," Dong Qing explained, enduring the burning pain in his heart.

Are the rewards for the divine examination extremely meager?

Poseidon was somewhat puzzled and quickly asked, "The Nine Trials of Gods are for inheriting the position of god. Basically, those who can pass the Nine Trials of Gods will eventually inherit the position of god unless something major happens to them. Why is there any difficulty in the rewards of the Divine Trials?"

In her opinion.

Since the selection of a successor to the divine position is based on the belief in the candidate's talent and ability to inherit the position, what kind of bizarre god would deduct from the rewards after the candidate has passed the divine test?

Chapter 546, White Tofu

"Well... it's a long story."

Dong Qing didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't just openly accuse the Rakshasa God of having a problem with his brain, since his teacher became the Rakshasa God after passing the Nine Trials of the Rakshasa.

After much deliberation.

He could only briefly tell Poseidon about the rewards for the divine trials, especially emphasizing the extreme difficulty of the first four trials and the meager rewards.

As I listened...

Poseidon felt that Bibi Dong had been tricked by this divine trial inheritance. After exhausting herself and risking her life to pass the divine trial, the result was that the lifespan of each soul ring increased by about a thousand years.

Even after the Shenzhou-9 trials had progressed to the fourth, they still wouldn't even grant him a divinely bestowed soul ring. What kind of god treats their successor to the divine throne like this...?

You should know that on Seagod Island, even the top-level eighth and seventh trials are blessed with divine soul rings, not to mention the Seagod Ninth Trial, where every trial is rewarded with something good.

As for whether Poseidon would doubt the veracity of Dongqing's words?

No...

When she recalled Bibi Dong's first and second spirit rings, which were yellow and purple, she roughly knew that Dong Qing had not lied to her about this matter.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, red. [This spirit ring configuration is from Bibi Dong] [First Martial Soul: Death Spider Emperor]

There's no such thing as someone absorbing a hundred-year-old spirit ring as their first spirit ring and a thousand-year-old spirit ring as their second.

They're either all hundred-year-old soul rings, or all thousand-year-old soul rings.

After all, the difference between a level 10 Soul Master and a level 20 Great Soul Master is not that great. Only when a Soul Master reaches level 30 Soul Power does the first real watershed moment appear.

Only those who have reached level 30 in soul power before the age of 20 have a chance to enter an advanced soul master academy. This is the admission requirement for the vast majority of advanced soul master academies on the continent to date.

As for Shrek Academy's admission requirements of being twelve years old and having a soul power level of twenty-five or above... even the Heaven Dou Royal Academy doesn't have such strict requirements.

Young talents who can meet this requirement must have at least innate level eight or nine soul power, even if they are not born with full soul power.

Such outstanding young talents could be groomed as successors even within the three upper sects and the Spirit Hall.

Even geniuses like them wouldn't haphazardly absorb spirit rings, resulting in a strange combination like one yellow and two purple spirit rings.

Under normal circumstances.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.

This is the best combination of spirit rings recognized by the spirit master community.

Most Soul Masters follow this method when matching their Soul Rings to ensure that they will not be killed by the powerful Soul Ring energy when absorbing Soul Rings.

Besides consuming divine herbs to greatly enhance physical strength, one can also possess an extremely powerful physical body like Dongqing.

Otherwise, unless a Soul Master is tired of living, they wouldn't risk absorbing Soul Rings whose lifespan is far beyond their tolerance limit.

If spirit rings could be absorbed at will, there would be no need to consider the immense pressure they place on a spirit master's body.

Princesses like Ning Rongrong, who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, will probably start with a black spirit ring from their very first spirit ring.

As for the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, which are 100,000-year-old soul beasts, they shouldn't expect to stay peacefully in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. They would probably have been surrounded and killed by more than a dozen titled Douluo on the continent long ago.

This kind of operation is normal, because humans are naturally very good at ganging up on each other. The difference lies in whether they have enough value to make them team up to gang up on a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Let's get back to the main topic.

At first, Poseidon was a little puzzled. Why was Bibi Dong's soul ring combination so special? Why was the combination of her second and fourth soul rings so strange?

Now she understands...

It turns out that this was all because of those bizarre rewards from the divine examination. It's estimated that the reward for increasing the lifespan of a soul ring by thousands of years was given separately to Bibi Dong's second and fourth soul rings.

According to Poseidon.

Offering rewards for the divine test in this way is not just stingy, it's downright targeting.

For the high and mighty gods, no matter how much the lifespan of a spirit ring increases, as long as the spirit master can withstand it, it will not cause them any loss whatsoever, since they have already become gods.

the reason is simple.

Because increasing the lifespan of a spirit ring is essentially about filling it with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, as long as one gets permission from a god, one can increase the lifespan of their spirit ring.

This is part of the laws of heaven and earth, and the rules set by the Douluo God.

As long as your body can withstand the pressure of a sudden increase in the lifespan of your spirit rings, it's not impossible to increase the lifespan of your spirit rings by tens of thousands of years, let alone thousands.

That is, when creating the divinely bestowed soul ring.

These high and mighty gods might have to waste a little bit of their divine power to create this divinely bestowed soul ring that can automatically replenish its lifespan by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without needing to hunt soul beasts.

.......

"The difference in rewards between those who took the exam without a companion and those who took it with a companion is so huge. It seems that you, as the companion, were indeed indispensable in her divine test."

As Poseidon spoke, her slender, pale fingertips brushed against the soft strands of hair by her ear, and deep in her pupils lurked a trace of unspoken guilt.

She realized that she had indeed misunderstood Dongqing.

He only wanted to help his teacher Bibi Dong complete her assessment task and didn't mean to tease her, but she secretly developed feelings for him that she shouldn't have.

Poseidon felt deeply guilty, her self-reproach churning within her.

Thoughts kept popping into my mind, and I gradually began to devise a plan.

“Poseidon, you are truly unworthy to be the High Priest of Poseidon Island. First, you took the risky step of using the people of Poseidon Island to test the attitude of Poseidon, and now you have the idea of ​​forcibly controlling the man in front of you.”

"You need to understand that although he is an invincible powerhouse in the human world, he is also a boy who has just turned sixteen, while you were just a girl who didn't understand anything when you were his age."

"No! His body is full of soul power and has not suffered much loss. Could it be that he is a kind child who would rather suffer the backlash of his soul skill than hurt others?"

She was unaware of the power of the primordial fire emanating from the small red flag in Dong Qing's heart, and had no idea that Dong Qing had fainted because the primordial fire was fusing with his heart.

Now......

Because Dongqing was tightly hugging her waist and his body was basically hanging on her, Poseidon could naturally feel the relatively abundant soul power within Dongqing's body at such a close distance.

Since Dong Qing's fainting was not caused by excessive consumption of soul power, she could only think that the fainting was caused by the backlash of her soul skill leading to the reverse flow of qi and blood.

simply put.

Poseidon completely misunderstood the reason for Dongqing's sudden fainting, and Dongqing himself couldn't explain why he had just fainted.

Um.....

What a perfect misunderstanding!

Just like now.

Dong Qing's sixth soul skill, the Burning Heaven and Scorching Sun Fist, created a hundred-kilometer-long inferno with the third punch. However, as time went on, its power had decreased to a level that could be penetrated by mental energy.

Concerned about Dongqing's safety, Bibi Dong, and curious about Dongqing's situation, the Demon Soul Great White Shark [human form, mature woman], both secretly probed into the room with their spiritual power at this moment.

next second.

The images transmitted through their own spiritual power immediately widened their eyes, leaving them speechless as they stared in disbelief at the two people embracing in the center.

Dong Qing's face was pale, and he looked as if he had been drained of all his strength. He clung tightly to Poseidon's slender waist with both arms, as if he had no strength left.

"Poseidon, you shameless bastard, you actually took that statement seriously? Do you really think I, Bibi Dong, have half a disciple like you?" Bibi Dong shouted.

He finished speaking.

The six purple wings, her external soul bone, suddenly trembled, unleashing their full power as she charged forward at top speed, ready to confront the woman who dared to steal her disciple Dong Qing.

"Great Elder, you actually... My God, it seems the rumors circulating on Seagod Island aren't all false." Demon Soul Great White Shark [Humanoid Mature Woman Form] gasped.

It's no wonder they misunderstood.

Dongqing's current appearance is indeed pathetic, resembling someone who has overdone something and whose body is exhausted.

About a minute later.

In the vast and boundless sky,

Dongqing leaned weakly against Poseidon, his arms wrapped around her slender waist, his head resting on her warm, jade-like shoulder.

He endured the burning pain emanating from his heart and greeted Bibi Dong, who had suddenly appeared.
