Douluo: There is a Lianai who wants to talk to you
Chapter 233 Xiaobai, you’re lost
With the sudden burst of gray-blue light, Xiao Bai's broken domain began to regroup and squeezed towards Si Chen.Due to the positive pressure Si Chen brought to her, she no longer had the ability to control Ning Rongrong and the others.Rays of gray-blue light condensed and formed around her body. Although dozens of tooth-like gray-blue rays were in the form of energy, they were like entities and shot directly towards Si Chenchan.
Demonic Shark's Fang, one of the strongest skills of the Demonic Great White Shark. Facing the Demonic Shark's Fang, Si Chen had no intention of evading. Instead, he swung out his right palm and struck head-on.
Violent energy continued to explode in the sea. At the center of the collision, various crystal fragments scattered in all directions. Xiaobai's huge body was slapped by Si Chen and flew dozens of meters directly. His body rolled in the seawater. Because of her It is not affected by the crystallization of sea water, so it has lost a lot of power, but even so, Xiao Bai was beaten to pieces by this slap.But Xiao Bai knew that Si Chen's slap on her body was merciful, because when it hit her, she put away the dark gold fear claws, otherwise, there would be a few more deep scars on her body. of wounds.
This...how is this possible?For Xiao Bai, what happened in front of her was too unbelievable. With her 10-year soul beast cultivation, in the most favorable environment for her, she would be beaten away by a land soul master, and she was even almost injured. .
Xiaobai was a little timid. For many years, in this sea, except for the extremely powerful Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, there had never been any creature that made her feel such a powerless feeling.Facing Si Chen, her confidence was gradually collapsing, the blood and energy in her body were still surging, and the place where she had been photographed was still aching.She wanted to rush forward. If she didn't deal with Si Chen, it would be difficult for her to stop Ning Rongrong and the others from passing the level. But looking at the dark gold fear claw that popped up from Si Chen's right hand, she still hesitated.
It is precisely because of Xiao Bai's hesitation that before launching the attack, she first opened the field behind her and let the other sea soul beasts quickly retreat into the distance. This process of releasing and retracting also delayed some time. Let Ning Rongrong and the others get closer to the other coast.
Xiaobai secretly gritted his teeth, flicked his tail, and rushed towards the direction of Ning Rongrong and the others like lightning. She couldn't beat Si Chen anyway, and she could stop each and every examiner.
But just as Xiaobai started, a special kind of silence spread throughout the ring sea, and her leaping figure paused momentarily.
The melodious whale song sounded from all directions, and the blue light with countless snake lightning rushed out like a giant dragon in the roaring waves. The crystals turned from the sea water were hard, but they instantly turned into nothing in front of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. , the powerful coercion broke through the shackles of the domain, and broke out directly from the sea water at the other end of the ring sea. The sonorous breaking sound suddenly spread. The ring sea seemed to be broken, with countless cracks scattered at an astonishing speed.
Xiao Bai only felt that an irresistible force suddenly erupted in the sea water. It was not aimed at her, but at the field she was sending out. Although she was already at the third stage of the field, she was already in the third stage of the field. At that moment, she realized that she had truly lost contact with all the sea water around her, and all that was left in front of her was darkness.
The domain was connected to the user's body. When the domain was broken, Xiaobai suffered an inevitable huge impact. Blood spurted out from her mouth, staining the broken crystallized seawater red. At the same time, she completely fell into a brief coma.
I was careless and forgot that this human being had accepted the sacrifice of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!This was Xiaobai's only thought when he was slapped by the big tail of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and his eyes were filled with stars.
For the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, if he could not hit the Poseidon Temple, it would be best to beat up Poseidon's mount first.
The three figures rushed out of the ring sea in a scattered manner. The moment they flew out, the crystallized ring sea behind them collapsed, and the waves rolled up, making a deafening roar.
With a "pop" sound, Xiaobai's shark head came out of the sea. At this time, the light curtain on the sea had slowly disappeared.
"Are you too harsh?" Xiaobai looked at Si Chen sadly, and Xiaobai puffed bubbles in the sea unwillingly.
Si Chen spread his hands and said helplessly: "Lancang has his own ideas."
Oscar got up from the beach, laughed, shook his arm, and threw a series of large sausages in the direction of Xiao Bai, "Eat these first, and we will talk about the rest later."
Xiaobai opened his mouth and swallowed the sausage. Feeling the benefits of restoring the sausage to his injury, the dissatisfaction in his heart calmed down a bit.
"Ignore you boring people. I'm leaving. Your subsequent tests will never be easy. Just be careful." Xiaobai's voice echoed on the sea, but she herself had turned around and got into the ring. In the sea, the body twisted several times and disappeared like an arrow.
At this moment, three rays of light lit up from the foreheads of Ning Rongrong and Ning Rongrong at the same time. Ning Rongrong's forehead projected a blood-colored light curtain, while the others projected a black light curtain.The rewards are also the same as when passing the first level. Everyone's soul power is increased by one level, and Ning Rongrong's additional full soul ring adds 500 years of cultivation.
At the same time as the rewards for the second test appeared, the questions for the third test had also appeared in everyone's minds.
"Tidal body training? What do you mean?" Oscar asked suspiciously.
"You will know soon." Si Chen turned his head, and at some point, Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi appeared beside them, "The high priest is here."
Ning Rongrong and others all trembled, because they could clearly see that Si Chen's eyes even showed a bit of pity. Naturally, it couldn't be for Bo Saixi, so it could only be for the Tide that would be accepted next. They felt pity for the body refining, and one can imagine how terrifying their next third test would be.
"They are cheating! High Priest, I want to protest!"
At this time, a familiar but extremely discordant voice made Bo Saixi couldn't help but frown.
"Tang Chen, take care of your people!" Bo Saixi suppressed her anger. Unless there were special circumstances, she could not attack the winners of the Ninth Poseidon Examination. Now she could only let Tang Chen do it for her. "Here we come!" Tang Chen appeared in response and slapped Tang San with his backhand until his face was covered in blood.
Tang San covered his face for a long time without reacting, then fainted as soon as his vision went dark.
"Senior Bo Saixi, I want the Deep Sea Sunken Silver Pillar, just one. I can exchange it with you for the fairy grass." Ignoring Tang San who passed out, Si Chen still did not forget to pick up the third test's wool.
"No, if you can pull out the Poseidon Trident, you can take all the Deep Sea Silver." Bo Saixi smiled lightly, "But you have to be mentally prepared, even if Tang San can't pass the second level within a year After the test, Lord Poseidon will not let him die easily. His assessment time has been extended to ten years. If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. Although I can no longer sense Lord Poseidon’s spiritual thoughts, I can’t Make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
"Then it's settled!" Si Chen stretched out her hand and high-fived Bo Saixi as an oath. She was not worried at all that Poseidon would dare to continue acting like a monster. "I will ask you to look after them in the next year. I will be away for a while." .”
Then, Si Chen told Ning Rongrong and others: "I have only one request for you in the next year, live well."
Bo Saixi looked at Ning Rongrong and the other three who were frightened by Si Chen and turned pale. She couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You damn kid is really asking for a beating! Although the third test is difficult, it is by no means life-threatening. You scared them." very?"
Ning Rongrong and others breathed a sigh of relief, but not long after, they realized what life was worse than death.
At the beginning, the waves in the desperate situation hit the three people with huge momentum, but they felt a strange feeling in their hearts. There was no such strong impact as they imagined. Although the waves were strong, the impact was not as strong as they thought. They felt suffocated when it hit their bodies, but it was completely bearable. With Shen Yinhuan's fixation, they didn't have to worry about their bodies being washed away by the sea water. Shen Yinzhu also remained motionless under the impact of the sea water.
Could it be said that this third test is easier than the first two tests?The same doubt appeared in the minds of Ning Rongrong and the other three, but their doubts only lasted for less than a stick of incense before their expressions changed.
The impact of a wave is not very strong, but what they have to face is the never-ending impact.Before the first wave had completely passed, the second wave had already rushed over. Their location was close to the rocks on the shore. The waves surged to a height of nearly a hundred meters and then crashed down heavily. The three of them were all They are soul saints, and their physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people. Naturally, they will not feel much at first, but after the number of impacts exceeds a hundred times, they have to mobilize their soul power to resist.In just a quarter of an hour, each of them endured hundreds of impacts, and their numbness gradually turned into pain. Due to their previous heavy consumption, their soul power was no longer enough to protect their bodies, so they could only bear the violent impact. Ground impact.
Ning Rongrong was in the worst situation. The closer to the three silver pillars, the greater the impact. As a winner of the top seven exams, she naturally bore the brunt.If she hadn't experienced the pressure of Poseidon's Light in the first test and the solid foundation she had laid in the past ten years, she might have passed out from the impact of hundreds of waves at this time, even though her physical strength was much higher than The average soul master's whole body is numb and in indescribable pain at this time.
Soon, the three of them discovered the second problem, that is, in this third test, all auxiliary soul skills were ineffective.
After the second test, Ning Rongrong's sealed skills had been unsealed, but at this time, she could not use her Nine Treasure Glazed Tower at all.This time it was not that she was sealed, but that the waves that were constantly hitting her could not allow her to use the light of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to assist others.Not to mention Oscar, his hands are restricted. Even if he can make sausages, he can't eat them.
At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing also found that all his skills to enhance himself were useless, and he could only withstand the impact of the waves.
For Ning Rongrong and the others, the three sunken silver pillars were like the iron felts used in casting, their bodies were like the metal being cast, and the endless waves were the blows of the casting hammer.
Bo Saixi and Tang Chen sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, watching them quietly. From this day on, what they were about to endure was a painful experience lasting 360 and five days.
In the first attempt, they only lasted for more than three hours, and their bodies were already so numb that they lost consciousness. When the three of them were rescued by Bo Saixi one after another, they were almost all paralyzed and unable to move.
When the numbness disappeared, they were tortured by pain like thousands of needles piercing their hearts. This pain lasted for more than ten hours before disappearing as they recovered and started practicing.After this baptism, they deeply understood that this seemingly simple third test was actually more painful than the first and second tests combined.
If the first test tests their soul power, and the second test tests their practical ability in the sea, then this third test tests their bodies.Without exception, the important components of these three assessments are tests of perseverance, but the horror of this third assessment only gave them a new understanding.
Just when Ning Rongrong and the others were in pain and happiness in the desperate situation of the angry waves, Si Chen had already left Poseidon Island and returned to the land.However, she stayed for a while when passing through Hanhai City, because nearby, she noticed a fire-attributed dragon aura.
Due to absorbing part of the power of the Golden Dragon King's divine core, Si Chen is now very sensitive to the breath of dragon spirits and dragon spirit beasts. Hanhai City is located in the coastal area, and the spirits of the spirit masters living here are almost all water attributes. , the fire-attribute spirit aura is particularly eye-catching among the water-attribute spirit masters.
Si Chen's mental power quickly locked onto a soul master located in the west-west area of Hanhai City, but the other party remained unaware and continued walking on the street.
It was a black-haired woman wearing smart clothes. As soon as pedestrians on the street saw her, they all avoided her, as if they were avoiding a plague.This person was none other than Liu Erlong, who had been chasing Tang San all the way. She and Tang San fought against each other in Hanhai City two years ago. Naturally, she was not popular for losing her mind and hurting innocent people. However, her strength has not failed to improve over the years. Now that she has the cultivation level of Contra, no one dares to provoke her in a small and remote town like Hanhai City.
Liu Erlong was the one who chased Tang San in Hanhai City. She also knew that Tang San was going to Poseidon Island, but the sea was so vast that she didn't know how to get to Poseidon Island, and she had hurt innocent people in Hanhai City before. , not only made the people unwilling to give her directions, but also attracted the attention of the Wuhun Branch Hall. Once she wanted to use force to coerce others to take her out to sea, she would be blocked by the Wuhun Hall personnel.
Now, Si Chen plans to give Liu Erlong a chance to go to the island.
Demonic Shark's Fang, one of the strongest skills of the Demonic Great White Shark. Facing the Demonic Shark's Fang, Si Chen had no intention of evading. Instead, he swung out his right palm and struck head-on.
Violent energy continued to explode in the sea. At the center of the collision, various crystal fragments scattered in all directions.
