The Sea God Mountain had become lively ever since Tang Sui left.
The sea was churned by stormy waves daily, with intense bursts of light erupting from beneath the water, disturbing the ocean and creating whirlpools.
Having fully experienced the formidable combat power of the Magic Soul Great White Sharks in the water, everyone was constantly beaten by either the pack or individually by Bai, their swimming skills reaching their peak with each battle.
However, as Bai had said, even though they were often beaten black and blue, Bai and her kin would only drive them out of the circular sea and cease their attacks, never truly harming them.
Through continuous battles in the sea, they clearly felt that their opponents were not just sea soul beasts, but the entire circular sea itself.
Under Bai's terrifying control, coupled with the surprise attacks from other Magic Soul Great White Sharks, every drop of water became their enemy.
Although Tang Sui had become her ally, and Tang San and the others were somewhat allied as well, Bai did not go easy on them. Even though Xiao Wu was special, being a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Bai still showed no mercy.
To her, she was the examiner for their second trial, a right and duty bestowed by the Sea God. Despite her power, she dared not show any favoritism.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed. From the start of the second trial, it had been exactly half a year.
As Oscar was swept out of the circular sea by an undertow and crashed onto the beach, the last person to fight that day was also down.
The pain all over his body made him grimace.
But he couldn't produce any sausages to recover now.
Because his soul power was also nearing exhaustion from the constant beatings.
Soaked and looking like he was about to cough up his soul, Oscar knelt on the beach, weakly looking at his companions who were already sitting and catching their breath. He said, "Bai is too violent. My butt was almost split in half."
The others were in no mood to laugh at Oscar's plight, as they had been thrown onto the beach in a similar fashion. No one was any better off; they were all in a sorry state.
"I'm starting to miss the days when Sui Sui was here. Rongrong's support is no longer enough for me. Please give me a healer!" Xiao Wu sprawled onto the sand behind her and lay down.
Tang San, his body covered in injuries, also showed a flicker of longing in his eyes.
If Sui Sui's second spirit ability were present now, they wouldn't be in such a dire situation.
Dai Mubai gently massaged his kneecap, exhaling, "Yeah, I really wish Sui Sui could be here to get beaten up with us."
Zhu Zhuqing beside him suddenly sharpened her gaze.
Dai Mubai was completely oblivious.
Oscar shifted his position, lying on his side on the sand. Hearing Dai Mubai's words, he said, "Although I wish that, I'm more curious about what Sui Sui is doing..."
Speak of the devil.
The moment a black vortex appeared in Oscar's vision, he jolted upright, pointing to the sky, "Sui, Sui Sui!"
Her long, dark purple skirt fluttered. The eyes of the others, unable to suppress their excitement, froze when they noticed another tall figure standing beside Tang Sui. They nimbly rose from the beach, vigilance flashing in their eyes as they glared at the stranger beside Tang Sui.
As if facing their natural predator, a chill erupted from the nape of their necks the moment the man in black martial attire glanced at them, their breathing momentarily catching.
In a way, Xiao Wu, truly facing her nemesis, was also pinned to the spot, motionless, her eyes filled with terror and apprehension.
So, such a terrifying aura!
After the uncomfortable sense of being watched disappeared, Shang Yang retracted his gaze, which had drifted afar. His attention fell on the several weak humans on the ground. His gaze lingered on Tang San, who looked somewhat familiar, for a few seconds before he and Tang Sui landed steadily on the sand.
Seeing her companions' wary expressions, Tang Sui turned and tugged at Shang Yang's sleeve. "Uncle Snake, you've scared my friends."
Shang Yang's expression remained unchanged, his imposing aura undiminished. He stared at Tang San among them and said, "I've already tried my best to restrain myself; it's their own weakness."
"Uncle Snake—"
Tang Sui drew out her words.
Shang Yang let out a soft snort, and the oppressive aura that had enveloped the space was also withdrawn.
The others felt a lightness descend upon them, and their breathing was no longer difficult. However, their gazes towards Shang Yang were filled with apprehension and awe.
Without sensing the slightest fluctuation of soul power, his mere presence had suppressed them, even more so than the pressure they felt from the Sea God's Great Priest, Bo Saixi.
What a terrifying person...
How could Sui Sui be involved with him? Could he be a Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky School?
Given Sui Sui's personality, it was unlikely she would have any other connection with the Clear Sky School, besides her uncle, the Sect Master.
Moreover, the way this person looked at Xiao San (Third Brother) was cold and unfamiliar, unlike the rumored uncle.
The group couldn't figure it out and speculated about Shang Yang's identity.
Seeing this, Tang Sui pacified them, "Sorry, sorry. Uncle Snake is just like that. But he won't hurt anyone."
Among them, Xiao Wu, pale-faced, moved her lips but remained silent.
Even Tang San took a few seconds to regain his voice, cautiously looking at Shang Yang, and asked,
"Sui Sui, who is this senior?"
Sui Sui called him Uncle Snake, could this person also be...
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is one of the elders who took care of me for five years after the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, along with another senior who found me. His name is Shang Yang." Tang Sui's eyes held a hint of nostalgia as she then introduced her companions to Shang Yang one by one. SuDan Novel Network.
When she introduced Xiao Wu, Shang Yang's eyebrows twitched. His chilling dark red eyes stared meaningfully at her, making Xiao Wu shiver.
"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Soft Bone Rabbit?"
Shang Yang, who saw through Xiao Wu's identity at a glance, spoke in a low voice that sounded like the whisper of a demon to her.
Xiao Wu, mustering her courage, cupped her hands towards Shang Yang. "Hello, Senior. I am Xiao Wu."
Compared to Tang San and the others, the intuition of soul beasts was more accurate. They also perceived that this person was not human.
Shang Yang grunted, and finally looked at Tang San. Before Tang Sui could speak, he interrupted her, his gaze fixed on Tang San with deep intensity, "Kid, I know who you are. But you need to understand one thing: I am only her elder."
Even if you are Little Junior's blood-related brother in this world, you're not getting to call me uncle.
Tang San, understanding Shang Yang's meaning, paused and nodded calmly, "Yes, Senior."
To be honest, he wasn't too keen on recognizing this person as an uncle either.
After all, he was only Sui Sui's brother.
Shang Yang was satisfied.
However, at the same time, Bai, who had rushed back from hundreds of meters below the sea upon sensing the powerful aura, was stunned.
