Chapter 93: Shui Bing'er
After returning to the surface, the seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island knelt on one knee before Poseidon. "I'm sorry, Great Priest, we've disappointed you."
Poseidon said calmly, "That's all right. The five of them used excellent tactics, and their spirit rings are superior to yours. Your defeat is understandable."
Xiao Fei and the others stepped forward and saluted Poseidon and the Sea Dragon Douluo. "Thank you, Lords, for your guidance."
Thebseven Sea Dragon Douluo nodded slightly, but internally they kept complaining: Five Soul Douluos versus seven Titled Douluos—how could such a challenge be this? They actually unleashed their ultimate attack right from the start without even testing the waters. How unethical!
A voice echoed in Xiao Fei's mind: "Wang Xiaofei, Red Level Nine Trials, Sixth Trial, led Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, and Shui Bing'er to challenge the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island. We have exceeded our expectations and are rewarded with a 5,000-year increase in the age of all our spirit rings."
Huo Wu and the others also received a reminder that they had completed their trials. Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang increased their soul power by one level, Huo Wu increased their soul power by one level, and added a soul ring age of 1,000 years. Shui Binger increased her affinity with the Sea God by 10% and added one level of soul power.
As expected, Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian did not have the protagonist halo, and after completing all the assessments, they did not receive any additional soul power increase or divine soul rings.
So far, Xiao Fei and his companions have completed the sixth assessment of the Sea God Island. Among them, Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian have completed all the assessments and obtained the black level authority of the Sea God Island. Huo Wu and Wang Xiaofei obtained the red level authority of the Sea God Island.
Xiao Fei felt a little strange. How could they obtain the red level authority without completing all the assessments?
Xiao Fei's soul power level is 90 (92), and his soul rings are black black black black red red red.
Huo Wu's soul power level is 88, and her soul rings are purple purple purple purple black black red.
Shui Binger's soul power level is 83, and her affinity with the Sea God is 15%.
Huo Wushuang's Soul Power was level 88, Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power was level 86, Yang Pojun's was level 74, and Niu Meng's was level 75.
Suddenly, the red Sea God Island assessment mark on Xiaofei's forehead flashed, and a test card appeared in his hand: "Wang Xiaofei, Sea God Island Red Level Nine Tests, Seventh Test: Find the Fire God's Heritage Site. Time Limit: None. After completing the test, return to Sea God Island to resume the Red Level Nine Tests. Hint: Extreme." Immediately afterwards, the Red Level Nine Test mark on Xiaofei's forehead vanished.
Huo Wu's test was similar: assist Xiaofei in finding the Fire God's Heritage Site, and the mark between her eyebrows vanished.
Shui Bing'er's test was more interesting: also assisting Xiaofei in finding the Fire God's Heritage Site, but the time limit was ten years. Failure would result in a deduction of five Soul Power levels. Regardless of success or failure, the test could continue.
Xiaofei carefully examined the test contents. Shui Bing'er was already the Sea God's heir, and yet she was still trying to find the Fire God's Heritage Site with him? Wasn't that a waste of time? And why was it ten years?
Xiao Fei's brows suddenly furrowed as he understood the Sea God's purpose: He was probably gambling, betting on Tang San becoming the new Sea God. If Tang San succeeded, Shui Bing'er's Nine Sea God Trials would naturally be meaningless. If Tang San failed, Shui Bing'er could continue the trials. There was nothing to lose anyway. Clearly, the Sea God favored Tang San. As expected of the protagonist of the original novel, even after Xiao Fei had intercepted numerous opportunities, he remained exceptionally gifted.
Xiao Fei felt something was amiss. Why could Shui Bing'er continue the trials regardless of success or failure? As a god, his words were oracle. If Tang San became a god, what would the significance of Shui Bing'er's trials be? Could there be a deeper meaning to all this?
As for the hint about the Fire God's inheritance site, Xiao Fei had no clue for the time being. He left it aside and would return to discuss it.
In the Divine Realm, at the Sea God's Temple, the Sea God and the Fire God were together again, but this time, they weren't drinking tea, but wine.
The God of Fire looked at the God of the Sea in surprise: "God of the Sea, are you so confident in the successor Tang San?"
The God of the Sea smiled: "Isn't this a question of confidence? Shui Bing'er has a certain gap with Tang San in both talent and experience. Finding your inheritance place can also be regarded as a kind of training. Instead of staying in the Sea God Island to train hard, it is better to go out and experience more life, otherwise she will not be able to pass the ninth test of the Sea God. And there may be other surprises."
The God of Fire nodded: "You are good to this girl."
"I really like this girl's personality, but it's a pity that it's still a little lacking. But you, just give a two-word hint, can that kid find the Fire God Temple?"
"I can't help it. The Fire God Temple has disappeared from Douluo Continent for over a hundred thousand years. There's practically no trace of it anywhere on the continent now, unlike you, who have your inheritance on Seagod Island. And for some reason, Shura God seems to be watching me lately. Giving those two words is a violation of the rules of the Divine Realm."
Suddenly, a flash of red light appeared, and Shura God appeared in the Seagod Temple. "I heard recently that someone violated the rules of the Divine Realm, so I came to see. Seagod, Firegod, could it be you two?"
Shura God's sudden appearance startled Firegod so much that he nearly vomited in his face.
"Shura God, Firegod and I were just having a few drinks together. That shouldn't be a violation of the rules of the Divine Realm!" Seagod said quickly.
The Shura God's expression was serious. "Of course, this isn't against the rules of the God Realm, but I heard you recently found two promising candidates. Would you like me to assess them for you?"
"I simply saw two promising candidates who might be suitable as your subordinates. I won't trouble you with such a small matter," the Sea God said quickly, muttering to himself.
"If you were to assess them, the two successors would be crippled, if not killed."
"In that case, I won't ask any more questions. But you must remember the rules of the God Realm." With a flash of red light, the Shura God departed.
The Sea God and the Fire God exchanged a glance, saying nothing, and continued drinking.
On Sea God Island on Douluo Continent, Xiao Fei and his seven companions prepared to leave.
Originally, Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, Yang Pojun, and Niu Meng, who were taking the Black Level assessment, were not allowed to leave the island. However, as companions of those taking the Red Level Nine and Sea God Nine assessments, they were allowed to accompany the examinees. Therefore, they were exempted from the restrictions and left with Xiao Fei and Shui Bing'er. Even Poseidon agreed.
Xiao Fei and his seven companions arrived at the beach and used a barbecue to summon Xiao Bai. Through Xiao Bai, they learned that a fleet would be arriving at Poseidon Island in the next few days, delivering supplies. They would then be able to leave the island with the fleet.
It was time for a barbecue. Free from the pressure of the assessment, everyone felt relaxed. They expected to be away from Poseidon Island for a long time.
Xiao Bai had been a tremendous help to Xiao Fei and his seven companions over the years, a teacher who had taught them about sea warfare and a partner in their shared battles. Before leaving, they offered a token of gratitude and a farewell.
For the barbecue, Xiao Fei and his companions brought out dozens of jars of wine. Everyone drank and chatted enthusiastically. At one point, Shui Bing'er even performed a dance. Everyone tacitly avoided using their spirit power to resist the effects of the alcohol. The drinking continued until the beach was a mess, littered with wine jars. Everyone was drunk.
The next day, as the sun beat down on the beach, Xiao Fei regained consciousness from his daze. He was dazed, but he saw someone in his arms. He thought it was Huo Wu, but a quick glance revealed someone wearing blue clothing.
Xiao Fei woke up instantly. He actually slept with Shui Bing'er in his arms last night. It seemed that because of Xiao Fei's actions, Shui Bing'er in his arms also woke up slowly. But when Shui Bing'er saw herself in Xiao Fei's arms, her face flushed immediately, and she quickly pushed Xiao Fei away. Xiao Fei looked at Shui Bing'er who ran away with a blushing face, and felt annoyed:
I was so comfortable when I was holding her just now, why did I wake up so soon? What a great opportunity was wasted. Thinking back to the feeling of holding Shui Bing'er just now, she was soft and tender, worthy of being a girl from Tianshui.
Xiao Fei looked around, and Xiao Bai had obviously returned to the sea a long time ago. The others were lying on the beach in a mess, especially Huo Wu, who was sleeping in a big letter shape, with no image at all.
Xiao Fei shook his head, carried Huo Wu back to the tent first, and then woke everyone up. Xiao Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "They are both beauties, why is the feeling of holding them so different?"
