After a short while, Chen Yuan and the four girls regrouped. After some time spent in meditation, everyone had fully recovered.
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It's a shame we only had a year. We couldn't continue cultivating under the Sea God's Light. Fortunately, there are many more trials ahead, and we'll surely receive more rewards. Now, you should all be able to check your second trial, right?"
At his words, the four girls focused on their respective trials.
Dugu Yan's expression turned peculiar as she said, "My trial is called 'Breakthrough: Ring Barrier,' but I'm not allowed to harm the sea spirit beasts in the Ring Sea. That means my poison might not be very effective."
After she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling also shared their second trials. Their tasks were the same—breaking through the Ring Barrier.
At that moment, likely because they had checked the details of their second trials, the trials officially began.
On Sea God Island, endless blue energy began to gather, flowing like seawater. Moments later, a burst of dazzling golden light erupted from the center of the blue energy. The golden light cascaded down like a curtain, enveloping the Ring Sea and surrounding Sea God Mountain.
At the same time, a gray mist spread within Chen Yuan's body, seemingly attempting to seal his martial soul. However, the Seven Kill Divine Sword, radiating golden sword energy and exuding sharpness, directly tore apart the gray mist, shredding it until it vanished.
Although deities were on a completely different level compared to soul masters, possessing nearly supreme power, sealing a divine artifact was no easy task.
After the gray mist disappeared, a voice echoed in Chen Yuan's mind, instructing him not to use his martial soul. Divine artifacts were considered beyond the limits of the trial, and using one would result in failure.
Chen Yuan didn't mind. If he couldn't use it, so be it. Even without the sword, he could easily lead the others through the trial.
He then addressed the four girls, "My martial soul is restricted, but that's fine. I'll go into the sea first to scout the dangers of the Ring Sea. You can practice your swimming and underwater combat in the shallow areas. When the time comes, we'll break through from the sea."
Everyone nodded, both because they had faith in Chen Yuan and because they had no objections to his plan.
With the arrangements made, Chen Yuan walked to the edge of the Ring Sea and leaped into the water. His spirit power automatically circulated, allowing him to hold his breath underwater for extended periods.
Chen Yuan knew that, barring any surprises, the Ring Sea was home to a group of thousand-year spirit beasts and the hundred-thousand-year King of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark, Xiao Bai.
Facing a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, even without his martial soul, Chen Yuan felt no fear. After countless tempering, his body was comparable to that of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast.
As he swam forward a few dozen meters, a group of sea spirit beasts approached, seemingly preparing to attack. Judging by their spirit power fluctuations, they were mostly thousand-year spirit beasts.
Chen Yuan had no intention of knocking them out one by one—that would be too time-consuming. Instead, he unleashed a single move:
"Blood Demon's Wrath!"
A blood-red orb formed in Chen Yuan's hand. Normally, this skill could affect a radius of 300 meters, but in the Ring Sea, its range was drastically reduced to just 30 meters.
That was fine. As the sea spirit beasts entered the 30-meter range, their blood flow reversed, and their hearts were subjected to intense pressure. The thousand-year spirit beasts immediately froze, floating to the surface and exposing their bellies. Though not dead, they were no longer a threat.
After dealing with the thousand-year spirit beasts, Chen Yuan's eyes glowed silver as he activated Mirror Pupil, scanning his surroundings in a 360-degree view.
If the final examiner of this trial was the King of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark, she should be appearing soon.
Sure enough, as Chen Yuan observed, a dark shadow rapidly approached. In his vision, he could clearly see a 25-meter-long, streamlined body in gray-blue. The sharp teeth in its mouth gleamed faintly—it was the King of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark.
At the same time, the King of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark noticed Chen Yuan in the water. Recalling how Chen Yuan had ignored her and forcefully landed on the island a year ago, her anger flared. Now, in the water, she was ready to teach him a lesson.
The speed of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark was among the fastest in the ocean, and this was the King. In the blink of an eye, she opened her massive jaws and charged at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan immediately activated his blood-red orb. Even the King of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark stiffened, but her powerful body allowed her heart to beat strongly, restoring normal blood flow.
Though she had to divert half her energy to keep her heart pumping, her body began to move again.
"Demon Shark's Fang!"
This was one of the King's most powerful single-target attacks. Gray energy teeth fused with her sharp teeth, pushing her attack power to its peak.
If Chen Yuan were bitten directly, even with a body comparable to a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, he would likely suffer severe injuries.
Chen Yuan knew that in the water, no matter how he struggled, his speed and agility couldn't surpass the King of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark. So, instead of dodging, he prepared to face her head-on.
Blood Demon Left Leg Bone Skill: Blood Demon Possession, activate!
Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone Skill: Indomitable Life, activate!
Blood Demon Possession burned his lifeblood, increasing his physical strength, speed, and resistance by over 500%. It was a desperate skill, as burning lifeblood was life-threatening.
However, Indomitable Life, the core ability of the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, provided immense life force, allowing for rapid recovery. Even severed limbs or shattered organs could heal quickly, making it perfect for replenishing lifeblood.
With both skills active, Chen Yuan's spirit power consumption skyrocketed, but the three spirit cores in his dantian ensured a nearly endless supply of spirit power.
Boom!
Chen Yuan's body visibly shrank as his lifeblood burned. Though now thin and gaunt, his aura intensified to an extreme. With pure physical strength, he pushed the surrounding seawater away. His hair fluttered, each strand tinged with blood, and his eyes glowed crimson. Blood-red mist surrounded him, making him look like a demon from hell.
Facing the King's open jaws, Chen Yuan grinned and charged forward without dodging. With a single punch, the force sent the massive shark stumbling, flipping over in the water and exposing her belly.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Yuan grabbed the King's snout and, with a mighty heave, hurled her out of the water and into the air.
The King of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark was stunned. She, a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, was being toyed with by a human. Furious and humiliated, she prepared to dive back and bite him to death.
But Chen Yuan burst out of the water, grabbed her tail, spun her around in mid-air, and threw her toward the shore.
The King's massive body weighed over 300,000 pounds—equivalent to three Sea God Tridents. Yet, to Chen Yuan, it felt as light as a toy.
With a loud "bang", Chen Yuan stomped on the air, creating a sonic boom. Using the force, he propelled himself toward the shore.
Even without his martial soul, relying solely on his physical strength, subduing the hundred-thousand-year King of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark was as easy as lifting a hand for Chen Yuan.
