Chapter 255: Support Battle Soul Master Ning Rongrong
In addition to the soul bones, they also obtained the bodies of over two hundred Evil Demon Killer Whales.
These were top-tier soul beasts, and even their regular meat was quite valuable. Yang Xiong led the group to collect all the whale oil, marking this as a fruitful harvest.
After everyone absorbed their soul bones, Yang Xiong and his group returned to Seahorse City and specifically sought out Seahorse Douluo to inquire about the Seven Sacred Pillars.
Seahorse Douluo knew the content of everyone's assessments. The Seven Sacred Pillars were in close contact with each other, but their trials were public. Much of the information about the Seven Sacred Pillars was openly available, and Seahorse Douluo was not stingy, sharing many details about the other six Sacred Pillars.
For the next full month, Yang Xiong and the other seven trained intensely. They fought every day, focusing on pointing out weaknesses in their combat styles, while also helping them better adapt to underwater combat.
Of course, this was also a form of self-discipline for Yang Xiong, as he fought the seven without using any soul skills.
...
Compared to Yang Xiong and his group, Tang San and his six companions appeared to be relatively unlucky.
After the battle with the Evil Demon Killer Whales, Tang San and his group were eager to join Xiao Bai's team and head to the deep sea to hunt the Black Scale Mermen Clan.
The Black Scale Mermen were a difficult soul beast to deal with. These creatures resembled humans but were covered in dark scales that provided excellent defense. They were incredibly strong and had potent poison in their bodies.
After enduring countless tough battles, Tang San and his group finally managed to wipe out the Black Scale Mermen Clan, killing a large number of them.
However, Dai Mubai and his group did not receive any trial upgrades. After completing the Black-level Fourth Trial, only Tang San and Xiao Wu still needed to continue with their trials.
For completing the trials, Dai Mubai and his group were rewarded with a divine soul ring.
After absorbing the soul rings, Dai Mubai reached level seventy-five, including a level increase from the divine soul ring and another increase from the Sea God's Fourth Trial.
Yu Tianheng, similar to Dai Mubai, reached level seventy-four.
Dugu Yan reached level seventy-two, while Zhu Zhuqing was still at level sixty-nine and hadn't broken through to Soul Sage yet.
After completing the Fourth Trial, Tang San reached level seventy-eight, and Xiao Wu reached level seventy-seven.
However, when they returned, everyone had sustained significant injuries, showing how brutal the battle had been.
After a month of intense training, Yang Xiong and his group were ready to begin the Sea God's Fifth Trial.
The first battle was between Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who faced off against Seahorse Douluo.
Seahorse Douluo's martial soul was the Seahorse, and he had excellent control over the sea. He could merge with the sea elements, using the waves created by the sea to fight, and he also knew some fist techniques.
Oscar had already prepared in advance, using Feng Xiaotian's blood to create replica mirror sausages.
When the giant waves approached, Oscar immediately consumed the replica mirror sausages, transforming into a massive Gale Demon Wolf, with endless wind blades emanating from him. He even used Feng Xiaotian's fourth soul skill: Demon Wolf Storm.
Under the Demon Wolf Storm, and with Ning Rongrong's full support from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Oscar's soul skills were even more powerful than Feng Xiaotian's.
In the end, Oscar's Gale Demon Wolf broke through the waves and defeated Seahorse Douluo's attacks, winning the match.
This battle was exceptionally long, with Oscar using various sausages to continually enhance himself, as well as constantly restoring his body and soul power. He pushed his abilities to the maximum, turning the battle into a prolonged war of attrition.
The second match was between Feng Xiaotian and Sea Madness Douluo.
Sea Madness Douluo had incredibly strong spiritual power, with a martial soul of the Illusory Sea Serpent. His domain had great control ability, capable of confusing any opponent, even Title Douluos were reluctant to fight him.
Feng Xiaotian, being only a Soul Douluo, was much weaker in terms of spiritual power compared to a Title Douluo, and throughout the battle, he was under the control of Sea Madness Douluo's illusions.
Sea Madness Douluo, with his beast martial soul enhancement and his control over his weapon martial soul, used his Illusory Sea Serpent to evade attacks and confuse Feng Xiaotian.
In this situation, Ning Rongrong's support played a critical role.
With Ning Rongrong's help, Feng Xiaotian's mental strength greatly increased, and his physical and combat abilities improved significantly.
During this time, Feng Xiaotian demonstrated an incredibly terrifying combat talent. Even in a disadvantaged position, the Gale Demon Wolf's speed became exceptionally fast, especially when he used his martial soul true form, as the wind elements seemed to stir the entire sea, causing the Illusory Sea Serpent to be caught in a hurricane.
When Feng Xiaotian unleashed his Demon Wolf's Fifty-Four Slashes, his combat power far exceeded his soul power level, and in the final strikes, his attack ability reached the level of a Title Douluo.
Under Feng Xiaotian's relentless assault, the Illusory Sea Serpent could no longer withstand the powerful attacks, and Sea Madness Douluo was almost heavily injured.
Feng Xiaotian and Ning Rongrong emerged victorious, and Sea Madness Douluo couldn't help but praise Feng Xiaotian's battle capabilities.
The third battle was between Big Brother Yang Wei and Ning Rongrong against Sea Spear Douluo.
This was a true clash of weapon martial souls. Sea Spear Douluo's martial soul was the Sea Spear, known for its incredible attack power, ranking second among the Seven Sacred Pillars.
Yang Wei's martial soul was originally a normal iron sword, but after absorbing the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, it evolved into the Xuan Iron Sword, and his understanding of the sword path became extremely deep. Not only did he master sword energy, but his swordsmanship also became exceptionally sharp.
In the battle, the Xuan Iron Sword and Sea Spear collided again and again, sending endless sword energy throughout the sea.
Sea Spear Douluo had incredibly strong attack power, especially when he used his weapon soul true form. He could integrate his body with his weapon martial soul, using the sea as cover to amplify his power.
When Yang Wei used his weapon soul true form, the Xuan Iron Sword seemed to become the world's most powerful sword. It radiated endless sword energy and contained infinite sword intent, even with a fierce killing intent.
The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was indeed a supreme herb, a treasure that even Yang Xiong coveted. If Yang Wei weren't his brother, Yang Xiong would never have let such a high-level herb be used.
At that moment, Yang Wei didn't seem like a person, but like a pure sword. After absorbing the hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone, the Xuan Iron Sword seemed even heavier, possessing the powerful strength of the Evil Demon Killer Whale King, and even gaining the King's bloodthirsty abilities.
When Sea Spear Douluo used his ninth soul skill, all of his energy was concentrated into the Sea Spear. The weapon rapidly expanded, and its terrifying energy twisted the surrounding space, moving at an incredible speed, making it nearly impossible to avoid.
Yang Wei, using all his strength, unleashed his most powerful strike, the hundred-thousand-year soul ring skill: Killer Whale Fury Slash. The sword's body became like a giant Evil Demon Killer Whale, and the blood-red sword energy pierced through the sky.
With Ning Rongrong's full support, Yang Wei's hundred-thousand-year soul ring skill was fully realized, and in the end, he broke through the giant Sea Spear and pressed the Xuan Iron Sword to Sea Spear Douluo's neck.
This battle was incredibly intense. Both sides were repeatedly injured by the opponent's weapon martial souls, and their bodies were covered in blood. If Yang Wei hadn't pushed himself to the limit, he might not have won.
The fourth battle was between Qin Shuang and Ning Rongrong against Sea Ghost Douluo. Compared to the other battles, this one was more of a contest of raw power.
In terms of strength, Qin Shuang was far behind Sea Ghost Douluo. She was only a peak Soul Sage, and battling a Title Douluo was extremely difficult.
But Qin Shuang showed terrifying strength and resilience. The Great Strength Vajra Bear was incredibly powerful, with exceptional defense and no flaws.
Especially with Ning Rongrong's support, Qin Shuang seemed unstoppable, dragging the battle on with sheer physical strength.
In the final moments, all three fighters had exhausted their soul power. It turned into a primal struggle, and Qin Shuang, relying on her physical strength and the many soul bones she possessed, managed to win.
At the critical moment, Ning Rongrong, in addition to her support, showed her combat prowess, summoning a giant Spiral Ball to attack Sea Ghost Douluo, creating the final opportunity for Qin Shuang.
The fifth battle was between Huo Wu and Sea Star Douluo. This battle wasn't as difficult as expected.
Huo Wu had strong control abilities, and her martial soul, Fire Shadow, had ultimate fire attributes. When using her martial soul true form, she became a massive Fire Shadow, with golden flames that even the ordinary sea water couldn't extinguish.
On the other hand, Sea Star Douluo was a control-type soul master, and his martial soul, Sea Star, allowed him to grow numerous tentacles with a powerful devouring ability. He also possessed a devouring soul bone.
But in the face of Huo Wu's massive flames, which were incredibly effective against sea soul beasts, Sea Star Douluo couldn't use his devouring abilities at all.
After a fierce battle, Huo Wu narrowly emerged victorious due to her powerful flames.
Finally, it was Shui Bing'er's turn. Her opponent was Sea Witch Douluo, a rare spiritual-type Title Douluo with the Sea Magic Flute as her martial soul.
Given Shui Bing'er's strength, she was essentially no match for Sea Witch Douluo, especially without a head soul bone.
However, at this crucial moment, Ning Rongrong displayed immense combat power. Not only did she have the Nine Treasure Guardian Light, but her Eight-Spider Soul Bone also appeared, granting immunity to certain mental attacks under the Nine Treasure Guardian Light.
In the end, Shui Bing'er and Ning Rongrong worked together, with Shui Bing'er focusing on control and Ning Rongrong on offense, leading to their victory.
This was also a result of Yang Xiong's careful planning. In the first three battles, Oscar, Feng Xiaotian, and Yang Wei were Soul Douluos, so Ning Rongrong only needed to focus on support. But in the battles of Qin Shuang, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er, Ning Rongrong gradually revealed her combat talent, especially with her Eight-Spider Soul Bone and Spiral Ball, which played unexpected roles and even turned the tide of battle.
Just like in the battle against Sea Witch Douluo, Ning Rongrong used the Nine Treasure Guardian Light and the Eight-Spider Soul Bone for the first time, catching Sea Witch Douluo off guard.
In this challenge, Yang Xiong had arranged for each battle to occur every one or two days, aiming to push Ning Rongrong's abilities to the limit, thus increasing their chances of success.
