With a single step through the air, Chen Yuan quickly arrived at the opposite shore of the sea.
After landing, he looked at the four girls and smiled. "So, how are the rewards for clearing the trial? They should be pretty good, right?"
Dugu Yan's expression was peculiar as she said, "My reward is another 5% Sea God Affinity. Now, I have a total of 10% Sea God Affinity. There are no other rewards at the moment."
After Dugu Yan finished speaking, Ning Rongrong, holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, said with a smile, "Zhuqing and I got the same reward—another level of spirit power and an increase of 500 years to all our spirit rings. Now, even our first spirit rings have turned purple."
Finally, Ye Lingling smiled softly. "I only got one level of spirit power as a reward, but that's already great. Before, I was only at level 64. After clearing the first trial, I gained one level, and now after clearing the second trial, I've gained another. I'm now at level 66."
Chen Yuan nodded. Fortunately, the rewards hadn't been reduced because of his involvement. Although he had dealt with the biggest threat by holding off the King of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark, the dozens to hundreds of thousand-year spirit beasts were still a significant challenge.
He then smiled and said, "It took us a year to clear the first trial, but the second trial was much quicker—only seven days. Let's not rush into the third trial today. Let's return to Sea Dragon City, rest for a day, and then start the third trial."
The four girls unanimously agreed. While the rapid increase in spirit power was exciting, the intense training had also taken a toll on them.
After returning to Sea Dragon City and getting a good night's rest, everyone was refreshed and full of energy the next day.
Back at the foot of Sea God Mountain, Chen Yuan reminded the girls to check their next trial. The four girls each focused on their respective trials.
Dugu Yan spoke first, her red lips parting. "The third trial of my Sea God Nine Trials is 'Tidal Body Tempering.' I need to endure the impact of the waves in the Fury Wave Abyss for more than 12 hours a day. The trial lasts for a year."
(Note: In the original story, the time unit was "hours," but I've changed it here to make it more reasonable. Enduring 24 hours of wave impacts for over a year might work in other fantasy novels, but it's too extreme for Douluo Dalu.)
After her, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who both had top-level seven trials, shared their tasks:
"The third trial of the top-level seven trials is 'Tidal Body Tempering.' We need to endure the impact of the waves in the Fury Wave Abyss for more than five hours a day. The trial lasts for a year."
Their trials were identical.
Finally, Ye Lingling said, "The third trial of the black-level six trials is 'Tidal Body Tempering.' I need to endure the impact of the waves in the Fury Wave Abyss for more than four hours a day. The trial lasts for a year."
Chen Yuan nodded. This was within his expectations. He then turned to look at Sea God Mountain. "Since we're all going to the Fury Wave Abyss for tidal body tempering, someone will need to guide us there. The High Priestess should be coming soon."
As if on cue, Bo Saixi arrived. The familiar red light descended from Sea God Mountain, and she landed in front of the group.
The High Priestess of Sea God Island was as stunning as ever, but there was a sense of weariness about her, as if she were an elderly person nearing the end of her life.
Although she was a figure from over a hundred years ago, with her level 99 spirit power as an Ultimate Douluo, she could easily live for several hundred or even a thousand years. The only explanation for her current state was that she had lost all desire to live.
At this moment, a gentle smile appeared on Bo Saixi's face. "I'm surprised you've reached the third trial so quickly. I assume you've already seen the specific requirements. Follow me, and we'll head to the Fury Wave Abyss."
After saying this, Bo Saixi turned and left. Chen Yuan and the others followed her, crossing mountains and forests until they reached the other side of Sea God Island.
With a loud crash, a massive wave slammed into the island. The area where the wave struck was a concave cliff face. After thousands of years of relentless pounding, the cliff was smooth and gleamed with a metallic sheen, its hardness and weight likely comparable to steel.
As the group marveled at the sight, Bo Saixi looked at the concave area and said, "This is the Fury Wave Abyss, a forbidden area on Sea God Island. Normally, no one comes here. Even spirit beasts like the Demon Spirit Great White Shark avoid this place. The relentless waves are what you'll use for your tidal body tempering."
As she spoke, Bo Saixi clasped her hands together in front of her, her expression devout, and summoned her Sea God martial soul.
Behind her, a tall figure appeared—a man with blue hair and blue eyes, though his face was indistinct. He wore golden divine armor and held a golden trident. This was Bo Saixi's martial soul: the Sea God.
Beneath her feet, nine spirit rings appeared one after another—eight black and one red.
As the Sea God martial soul appeared, the endless waves gradually calmed. This was the Sea God's power to pacify the ocean.
"Rise!"
At Bo Saixi's command, five deep-sea silver pillars emerged from the now-calm sea, corresponding to Chen Yuan, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing.
After completing this, Bo Saixi waved her hand, and gentle waves of spirit power lifted Chen Yuan and the four girls, carrying them toward the deep-sea silver pillars. She said, "Go. When you reach your limit, I'll bring you down. However, you must endure the required amount of tidal body tempering each day. Any unfinished time will carry over to the next day. This third trial is about pushing your limits."
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan and the others were each secured to a deep-sea silver pillar, their limbs bound by chains. Immediately after, the once-calm waves began to churn violently again.
With a loud crash, a massive wave slammed into Chen Yuan. He barely felt it. Given his current physical strength, this trial offered limited improvement. However, even a small gain was still a gain.
But he could also use this time to do something else. Chen Yuan closed his eyes and focused his mind on the Evil God Pearl in his dantian, drawing out strands of space-time power.
This mysterious force, though usable, was difficult for Chen Yuan to fully comprehend. Creating a self-made spirit skill with it was even more challenging.
However, he had the Mirror Skull Bone. If he could enhance its age and strengthen the effects of the Mirror Space, it would be a significant boost for him.
Soon, Chen Yuan entered a meditative state, channeling the mysterious strands of space-time power and integrating them into the Mirror Skull Bone.
In a void, a skull bone with a crystalline texture floated quietly. Suddenly, streams of mysterious energy emerged from the darkness, merging into the skull bone and forming intricate, beautiful runes. These runes flickered briefly before vanishing, as if they had never appeared...
