Chapter 173: Tidal Body Refining
"My third trial is Tidal Body Refining. What about yours?" Ye Qingshuang asked curiously.
Having just received the rewards for the second trial, the details of the third trial quietly surfaced in her mind.
"Our trials should be the same," Bibi Dong replied. "Mine is also Tidal Body Refining."
"Me too," Ah Yin said, her brow furrowing slightly. "But what does this actually mean?"
Just then, Su Mo and Bo Saixi quietly appeared before the three women.
"Come with me," Bo Saixi said with a light chuckle. "Once we arrive, you will naturally understand."
She turned first and flew in the opposite direction of Sea God Mountain.
Su Mo took Ah Yin, and Bibi Dong took Ye Qingshuang, following closely behind.
The group traveled at extreme speed.
A journey that would normally take four hours took them only fifteen minutes to reach their destination.
Before them lay another sea, but it was completely different from the clear blue waters surrounding Sea God Island.
The sky here was dark and gloomy, with thunder constantly booming amidst the thick clouds.
Fierce winds howled over the sea, and massive waves crashed against the shore's reefs one after another, producing deafening roars.
At this moment, Bo Saixi spoke, "This place is the Trial Grounds for your third trial, named the Furious Wave Abyss."
"So, what do we need to do?" Bibi Dong pressed curiously.
Bo Saixi did not answer. Instead, blue light suddenly burst from all over her body.
The Sea God Martial Soul emerged behind her, emitting a holy and majestic aura, as nine Soul Rings—eight black and one red—rose up.
She raised her hands, and a deep blue glow drifted toward the sea, causing the churning waters to gradually calm down.
In the next instant, the sea violently shuddered, and three dark grey Deep-Sea Sunken Silver Pillars burst out of the water.
From the top of each sunken silver pillar, a short beam extended horizontally, making them look like giant crosses.
Fixed onto the pillars were five sunken silver rings.
Bo Saixi said softly, "Those with the Black-level Six Trials must endure four hours on the sunken silver pillar daily. Those with the seven trials must endure five hours. The trial period is one year, and your average time must meet the standard, otherwise it will be deemed a failure."
"Xi Xi, I will join them during this time," Su Mo said with a faint smile.
He knew that this place had an excellent tempering effect on the Physical Body.
Although he didn't have a Gods Trial, Bo Saixi was his woman, so giving him some special treatment was just a simple matter.
Bo Saixi nodded gently; she naturally wouldn't refuse Su Mo's request.
The blue light around her surged once more, and with a loud rumble, another Deep-Sea Sunken Silver Pillar burst out of the water.
"Are you ready?" Bo Saixi asked, her gaze sweeping over the three women one by one.
The three women nodded simultaneously, their eyes filled with determination.
The blue light around Bo Saixi split into four beams, enveloping each of the four.
The four of them floated down, each landing on a sunken silver pillar.
The sunken silver rings on the pillars clamped down on their bodies at the same time, locking them firmly to the crosses.
Bo Saixi withdrew her hands, and the blue light dissipated. However, she did not leave, instead standing quietly upon a reef.
To prevent any accidents, she needed to accompany them the entire time.
The moment the blue light faded, the sea began to boil violently.
Waves several Zhang high crashed violently against the four of them, one wave hitting before the previous one had even receded.
Su Mo did not feel too intense an impact, but he still felt something, indicating that the tempering here was still effective for him.
And Bibi Dong's situation was also quite good.
She was powerful and possessed three hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones, so her physical constitution was already extremely formidable.
As the seawater crashed against her body, she merely furrowed her brow slightly, showing little sign of pain.
In contrast, Ah Yin and Ye Qingshuang were in a much more miserable state.
The two of them were slightly weaker; one was of the support system and the other of the control system, and their physical constitutions were far inferior to those of Su Mo and Bibi Dong.
At this moment, they felt sore and numb all over, their faces filled with pain.
As a massive wave hit, Ye Qingshuang couldn't help but groan, while Ah Yin bit her lip tightly, her face turning pale.
A day quickly passed.
Su Mo lasted the longest, remaining completely motionless from morning till night.
He could clearly sense that his physical constitution had improved slightly.
Bibi Dong had not fully adapted on the first day. After enduring for only eight hours, her body gradually lost sensation, and she was rescued and brought ashore by Bo Saixi.
Ah Yin and Ye Qingshuang had it even worse, unable to hold on after only two hours on the first day.
However, the three women had all discovered that this trial indeed had a significant effect on improving their physical constitution.
In just one day, they felt their physical constitutions become slightly tougher than before.
This immediate effect brought joy to all of their hearts.
Time quietly slipped away.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Su Mo lasted the longest every day.
After a year, his physical constitution had reached a whole new level.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong had fully adapted in just a few days, easily meeting the standard every day thereafter.
A month later, she was even exceeding the daily target.
Although Ah Yin and Ye Qingshuang's progress was slow, they never gave up.
The duration they endured each day gradually increased.
After three months, they could steadily meet the standard.
After half a year, they could even exceed it.
And today, the three women also officially completed their Tidal Body Refining.
The rewards descended immediately after.
Ah Yin and Ye Qingshuang each received a one-Rank increase in Soul Power.
Over the course of the year, the two women had each cultivated two Ranks of Soul Power, plus the reward from the Gods Trial.
Ah Yin was now Rank 77.
Ye Qingshuang was temporarily still at Rank 80, only one Soul Ring away from officially making a Breakthrough to Soul Douluo.
It was worth mentioning that the reward for the Top-tier Seven Trials was originally a one-Rank increase in Soul Power and a five-hundred-year increase in Soul Ring age limit for each completed trial.
But this time, Bibi Dong's reward was somewhat different.
Perhaps because her Soul Power was simply too high, this reward did not include an increase in Soul Power Rank.
It made sense when she thought about it.
At her current level, each Rank up required an extremely massive accumulation of power.
If she could directly level up with each trial completed, wouldn't she break through past Rank 100 after all seven trials?
That was simply unrealistic.
However, her reward was still generous.
Although it was only an increase in Soul Ring age limit, it was ten times the original amount, reaching a full five thousand years.
With this, Bibi Dong's Soul Ring configuration became three purple, five black, and one red.
Her third Soul Ring was already so purple it looked black, clearly nearing the ten-thousand-year level.
This had originally been a Soul Ring of just over three thousand years, but after a total of six thousand years of bonuses from the three trials, it had now reached over nine thousand years.
And her eighth Soul Ring had even begun to show a red tint, clearly not far from the hundred-thousand-year level.
After the third trial ended, the three women also received the contents of their respective fourth trials.
Bibi Dong's task was to slay the Evil Spirit Orca King.
This was supposed to be the trial of the Sea God's successor.
Perhaps because the current successor to the Sea God's Legacy was Bo Saixi, the contents of the Top-tier Seven Trials had changed accordingly.
Ah Yin's task was to assist the Devil Spirit Great White Shark pack and slay more than ten Evil Spirit Orcas.
Ye Qingshuang, on the other hand, had to ensure that the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King did not die.
This was highly fitting for her role as a healing Spirit Master.
