As the golden light fully merged into the trident mark on Tang San's brow, Sea Horse Douluo spoke slowly, "The subsequent trials will only become more difficult. Please be extra cautious."
Tang San nodded, then heard Sea Horse Douluo continue, "You should already possess the ability to mobilize some of the Sea God's Light. While the Sea God's Light itself has no offensive power, its immense deterrence is enough to surmount all things."
Meeting the profound meaning in Sea Horse Douluo's eyes, Tang San, having been enlightened, brightened. He said gratefully, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. However... if I offend you in any way later, please forgive me."
Sea Horse Douluo was startled. Before he could comprehend the meaning of Tang San's words, two other figures flashed out from the barrier Tang Sui had withdrawn and crossed the sea to land before Sea Horse Douluo.
"Senior, I am Oscar."
"Ning Rongrong."
Oscar and Ning Rongrong, stepping forward together, cupped their hands and bowed to Sea Horse Douluo, "Please impart your teachings, Senior."
Sea Horse Douluo, now understanding, raised an eyebrow and revealed Tang San's intention, "So that's how it is. You forced me to use my ninth spirit ability precisely to exhaust my spirit power, giving Oscar an advantage in the subsequent battle, isn't that right?"
Oscar coughed awkwardly in response.
Tang Sui's lips curved upwards slightly, then quickly smoothed out.
Seamlessly joining the fray, Oscar and Ning Rongrong fought Sea Horse Douluo in a battle that was devoid of suspense.
Looking at Oscar and Ning Rongrong cupping their fists towards him, Sea Horse Douluo, who had been tricked, did not get angry. "No need for further words. This is also a tactic permitted within the trial. While I can accept it, I cannot guarantee the same for other Sacred Pillar Douluo."
The others who had yet to undergo their trials were taken aback. Dai Mubai thoughtfully thanked him, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior."
After announcing the results of Oscar and Ning Rongrong's trial, a deep and imposing voice echoed in their minds.
However, due to the clever tactic employed, Oscar's trial reward was not one level of spirit power, but half a level.
Ning Rongrong's completion rate for her fifth trial increased to 25%, with no other announcements.
Disappointment was present, but they all understood that facing a Sea Horse Douluo at his full strength, even this half-level reward might not have been obtained.
Thinking of this, Oscar looked towards Tang Sui.
Tang Sui understood and raised her hand. Her second spirit ability, 'Good Omen', was immediately unleashed, falling upon the heavily wounded Sea Horse Douluo.
The wounds on his body, previously scorched by spirit abilities after Oscar copied Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul with his Mirror Intestine, instantly healed. His greatly depleted spirit power also recovered 60% instantly, with the second 50% slot going to Oscar.
By rights, Tang Sui should have given it to Ning Rongrong, but she couldn't guarantee that her intervention wouldn't be counted as extra assistance, thus lowering her companions' trial rewards.
To his surprise, Sea Horse Douluo, witnessing Tang Sui's spirit ability, showed a look of astonishment. He couldn't help but say, "Your spirit ability... it also has healing properties?"
Moreover, the wounds were instantly restored, requiring no buffering time.
Even though his spirit power would take time to increase, the automatic recovery speed of his spirit power also made him feel a chill.
But on the day the Great Enshrinement declared Sea God Island to be in a state of emergency preparedness, he had heard the Great Enshrinement mention that Tang Sui had appeared to be an attack-type spirit master then. How could she also wield support-type spirit abilities?
Tang Sui smiled gently, "Senior, there's no need to be so surprised. I am naturally a support-type spirit master."
The other members of the Shrek Eight Devils, though wearing expressions of helplessness, were accustomed to this.
Upon hearing this, Sea Horse Douluo felt that he no longer understood modern support-type and food-type spirit masters and was greatly shocked.
The group's next destination was the Sacred Pillar guarded by Sea Spear Douluo.
Xiao Bai had previously recounted the strength ranking of the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo while accompanying them in training. Therefore, the group had deliberately discussed the order of the examiners based on various factors.
Although Sea Spear Douluo was powerful, Dai Mubai's current strength was by no means inferior, making him the strongest in the team aside from the Tang San and Tang Sui siblings.
Another reason for choosing Sea Spear Douluo was the proximity of the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar's geographical location to the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. Whether it was trust in Dai Mubai's strength or the principle of proximity, Sea Spear Douluo was the second most suitable choice.
Dai Mubai lived up to everyone's expectations, successfully challenging Sea Spear Douluo.
Tang San also defeated Sea Spear Douluo without any suspense.
Seeing the heavily injured Sea Spear Douluo, with a bloodied head after two consecutive battles, Tang Sui let out a light sigh. She then gave Sea Spear Douluo another strike with her second spirit ability, successfully earning a second astonished gaze.
Tang Sui, questioned about her martial soul's development direction for the second time, offered an awkward yet polite smile.
Ma Hongjun, covering his face, quietly retreated to Bai Chenxiang's side and whispered, "Just watch, Xiangxiang. Sui Sui's 'attack-type' spirit master title is here to stay."
The third stop was the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar.
This was not only Tang San's goal but also the goal Tang Sui had been waiting for.
The Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar was different from the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar and the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar that everyone had seen before.
While those two Sacred Pillars were distinct, they were tangible objects visible to the naked eye.
However, the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar before them was shrouded in a layer of ethereal blue light.
If not for the soaring golden pillar of light revealing its location at the center of the Sea within the Sea of Sea Phantom Island, people might have mistaken it for a mirage in the desert that shifts with the projection of sunlight, appearing ethereal and floating.
A faint layer of light permeated the misty sea area, like a lighthouse standing tall at night. One knew the lighthouse was ahead, but thick fog surrounded it, concealing unknown dangers.
Since neither the Sacred Pillar nor its platform were visible, the guardian Douluo atop it was also unseen.
Xiao Bai had previously mentioned Sea Vex Douluo. His strength ranked third among the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo, second only to Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Spear Douluo.
Sea Vex Douluo's martial soul was an incredibly magical and rare Sea Soul Beast called the Illusory Serpent, existing between beast and weapon martial souls.
Coupled with his innate domain, creating a misty, perilous illusion was very easy for him.
As for specifics, Xiao Bai had no personal experience and could not describe the nature of his innate domain. She could only caution Tang San and the others to be extremely careful.
The unknown was often the most terrifying.
Tang Sui knew the effect of Sea Vex Douluo's innate domain, but it was not the time to reveal it.
Moreover, the nightmare trial she had created for everyone was to serve as a preemptive inoculation, helping everyone break through the illusion sooner, defeat Sea Vex Douluo, and complete their trials. Sudan Fiction Network.
This time, Tang San challenged first.
Everyone watched as Tang San's figure was slowly swallowed by the dense fog, and they began to wait anxiously.
Tang Sui let out a soft sigh next to Xiao Wu.
This time, her brother should pass perfectly, right?
