Chapter 82: Fire Phoenix
After an hour of recuperation, Xiao Fei's body had almost recovered to peak condition.
The others continued their training, with Shui Bing'er alone watching over Xiao Fei. After all, they were about to pass the second level, which would be even more difficult.
Tang San and the others, however, practiced even harder, for today they had seen the difference, the progress made after surpassing their limits.
Xiao Fei took out the divinely bestowed spirit ring given by Poseidon and began absorbing it according to the instructions.
Today, a golden light surrounded Xiao Fei, and this golden light seemed to gradually spread towards the location of Xiao Fei's eighth spirit ring.
Xiao Fei suddenly felt a growing pressure, a feeling he had experienced many times before. It was like absorbing spirit rings beyond his level, and the only solution was to persevere.
Gradually, Xiao Fei began to sweat profusely, but he knew he was still far from his limit.
As time passed, bloodshot streaked his entire body, and his skin began to crack. At this moment, the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor began to function, and a blue light spread throughout Xiao Fei's body.
Xiao Fei's body cracked and healed, each time like a slow slicing of flesh. But Xiao Fei persevered.
How much time passed? The golden light surrounding Xiao Fei gradually formed a cocoon. Inside, Xiao Fei continued to endure endless agony. One day, two days, three days...
The cocoon lasted for a month, while Shui Bing'er and the others nearby looked on with concern.
Suddenly, cracks began to appear on the cocoon. Over time, the cracks multiplied, eventually covering the entire cocoon.
Finally, the cocoon split open, and a towering flame erupted from it, filling the sky. A sea of fire surrounded the cocoon, capable of incinerating everything. A long cry echoed from within the sea of fire, and a fire phoenix gradually emerged, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
Finally, the sea of fire gradually dissipated, and a huge red spirit ring enveloped the phoenix. The flames gradually died down, taking on the form of Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei's eighth spirit ring had finally been successfully formed.
Watching Xiao Fei return to his normal state, Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er suddenly rushed to Xiao Fei's side. "Xiao Fei, how are you feeling now?"
Xiao Fei smiled and said, "I feel great now. I'm like a ball of fire, like a phoenix. A fire phoenix reborn from the flames."
Poseidon looked at everyone and then led Xiao Fei and the other seven to a small island, which would serve as the assessment location.
Xiao Fei planned to rest for a day, review his gains, and then join the others in preparing for the second assessment on Sea God Island.
Xiao Fei carefully reviewed his strength and discovered that his Soul Power had reached level 85 (including the level 1 reward from the first assessment). His eighth Soul Ring seemed to have a golden edge, suggesting it was a 200,000-year-old Soul Ring.
His Eighth Soul Skill 1: Phoenix Nirvana: When severely injured, he can be reborn in flames, quickly recovering his full strength and injuries. However, this skill can only be used once every seven days. His
Eighth Soul Skill 2: Phoenix Light: This skill unleashes the phoenix's innate fire, capable of both group and single-target attacks, capable of incinerating everything in the world and ignoring defense. It can burn any life, energy, mental power, obstacles, and even martial spirits. It is truly a divine skill.
Phoenix Domain: A skill that can only be used when the martial spirit is in its true form. Within the domain, the fire attribute of his own phoenix flame will be increased by 50%. Unless the domain is broken, he is immortal within the domain. He can be reborn at any time through the phoenix flame within it.
Xiao Fei looked at his harvest of this divine soul ring and felt that his strength had increased significantly. He was strong enough to challenge Titled Douluo, or even a Level 96 Super Douluo. It was indeed a divine soul ring.
Seeing Xiao Fei grinning there, everyone kept complaining: This guy must have obtained an incredible soul skill, how can we survive? The gap seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
At this time, the assessment mark between everyone's eyebrows flashed, and everyone's second test assessment item once again turned into a card and appeared in everyone's hands.
Everyone was a little surprised when they saw their test contents.
Huo Wushuang spoke first, "The second test is Breakthrough: Ring Blockade. It tests a sea soul beast, breaking through the ring-shaped blockade on the sea and reaching the other side."
Feng Xiaotian nodded, apparently his test was the same.
But surprisingly, Yang Pojun and Niu Meng also had the same test.
Huo Wu smiled, "What are you all afraid of? I'm on the same test as you, but my seventh soul skill is restricted."
Everyone kept complaining, "Your spirit is Hokage. Using your spirit avatar in the ocean is nothing but a waste of soul power."
Xiao Fei smiled wryly, "My test is the same, but I'm restricted from using my spirit ring skills."
Everyone complained again, "You've already transformed into a phoenix, so what difference does it make whether you use your soul skills or not? Besides, you have two external soul bones, for a total of five."
Xiao Fei said again, "The Sea God's tests aren't easy. Let's try them first, then do targeted training. I've noticed that we're completely blocked off on this island. This means we won't receive any physical aid or other assistance during the test. I'm also clearly feeling a sense of oppression. I guess we won't be able to fly during this stage."
Everyone nodded.
Shui Bing'er didn't even practice under the Sea God's light, but followed the others. In her words, if you only cultivate your soul power without engaging in other training and breakthroughs, your soul power will easily reach a plateau.
Then, if your combat skills fall behind, it will be very troublesome. Besides, Shui Bing'er's time is very long.
Xiao Fei and the other seven jumped into the sea and instantly entered a marine world, where all kinds of plants fluttered in the water, a breathtaking sight.
Because all seven had practiced extensively, except Huo Wu, they all had good swimming skills. Even Huo Wu could walk underwater normally.
Xiao Fei looked around and began to walk to the other side. When Xiao Fei walked about five meters, the sea suddenly underwent a dramatic change.
The previously calm waters suddenly became a turbulent sea of waves, each one rushing towards Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei jumped back and forth non-stop. Before Xiao Fei could adjust to the waves, countless fish swarmed around him.
Xiao Fei groaned inwardly, because the Divine Test couldn't kill sea soul beasts. Xiao Fei had no choice but to transform into a phoenix and deal with the waves and the sea soul beasts.
From time to time, he managed to manipulate the currents, but before Xiao Fei could fully adapt to the currents and the Sea Soul Beast, an unexpected situation arose.
Suddenly, a gigantic shadow appeared in the ocean. It flashed, darting towards Xiao Fei. Unable to dodge in time, it struck him head-on. Xiao Fei felt a surge of force, and was flung backwards until he flew out of the water and landed on a small island.
Everyone looked at the defeated Xiao Fei, and immediately felt troubled. Furthermore, the shadow had been incredibly powerful.
Xiao Fei quickly asked everyone what the creature had been. Huo Wushuang said, "It was a shark, about twenty-five meters long. However, its sheer size didn't affect its agility at all, and it was incredibly fast. From appearance to disappearance, it took only a few blinks of an eye. In the blink of an eye, we were almost immediately struck by the blue light it released, which blasted the seawater out. Then it turned and left."
Xiao Fei nodded. "I suspect that soul beast was the guardian soul beast of Sea God Island, the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark. At this rate, the second level might be even more difficult than the first."
Everyone's scalps tingled as they thought of the huge shadow they had just seen.
