The fifth test, although more challenging, is a more vigorous exercise for everyone, which excites them.
Xiao Bai said, "Even though you helped me with the fourth test, I want to do something for you in this fifth test."
Tang San asked, puzzled, "What will you do? We have to fight on our own."
"But the period is one year; during this year, I can train with you in combat. In the second test, what you faced was not my full strength, but next, I will go all out in actual combat training with you."
Upon hearing this, Tang San and the others' eyes lit up; this was indeed very helpful.
Ye Yu nodded, "Not bad, I'll join too."
Xiao Bai immediately shook his head, "No, if it's a fight, you can't join forces. Tang San's group of seven can do so, but you must fight me one-on-one."
Ye Yu nodded, "Of course."
The battle with the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King had already revealed Ye Yu's full strength to Xiao Bai, equal to a ninety-eighth level Titled Douluo in full force, but in a one-on-one, as long as it doesn't last too long, they could be evenly matched for training and improvement.
Xiao Bai said, "That's the plan then. During the day, Tang San's group of seven will fight me, and at night, I will fight Ye Yu alone all night."
Ye Yu nodded, "Agreed."
Very soon, on Sea God Island, the fifth test was about to begin. Completion seemed imminent, but there was no relaxation as the subsequent assessments would only get harder.
When Poseisy and the Seven Douluo learned that Ye Yu and the others had completed the test, they were utterly shocked, completely due to Ye Yu's unexpected success.
They understood that Ye Yu's test requirement was to defeat the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King in a solo duel, without any assistance, implying Ye Yu's combat power exceeded that of the Whale King?
The Seven Douluo quickly approached, with Poseisy among them, very curious about what had happened.
Ye Yu explained the process to them, and they understood, but were still astonished.
"Unexpectedly, with all your might, you're so terrifyingly powerful, your combat power rivals a ninety-eighth level."
"Unbelievable, at only twenty years old, to have the combat power of a ninety-eighth level, becoming a Titled Douluo, wouldn't you be invincible?"
"It's possible; now at eighty-seven levels you're so strong, and the divide between Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo is immense. If you break through to ninety-one levels, perhaps even a ninety-ninth level might not be your opponent."
"Terrifying, if reaching ninety-nine levels, what level of horror would be achieved? Could it rival a God?!"
They thought this in their hearts, realizing the distinction between man and god, but Ye Yu was so terrifying, perhaps achieving the astonishing feat of a man resisting a god.
While astonished, they also understood why the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King lost; it wasn't because Ye Yu's strength outmatched the Whale King, in fact, it was slightly weaker, the victory was entirely through attrition, exhausting the Whale King into defeat.
The Seven Douluo curiously asked, "Ye Yu, what is your fifth test?"
They already knew Tang San and others' assessment.
They came intending to place a bet; during the year of body refining, they went out again, mouthing they wouldn't bet, yet their bodies remained honest.
This time, they wanted to bet with Tang San, considering it impossible for Tang San to defeat them in individual duels.
However, they also wanted to know how difficult Ye Yu's challenge would be.
Ye Yu said, "My fifth test is to defeat all seven of you in solo duels within three days."
Upon hearing this, the Seven Douluo were astonished, "So difficult? This Divine Sevens' test seems intent on preventing you from passing!"
"Not passing is nothing, after all, not passing doesn't prevent him from becoming a god, he doesn't need to inherit a divine position, he can become one himself."
"Indeed, against us teaming up, it's impossible to achieve."
...
Ye Yu said, "Aren't you too confident?"
Seahorse Douluo said, "I think it's you who's too confident; we are all Titled Douluos, and exceptionally powerful, plus we're Sea Soul Masters. With our combined strength, no Earth Soul Master here can be our opponent, even the Martial Soul Hall's Qian Daoliu."
"Ye Yu, do you want to bet?"
Ye Yu paused, "Bet more? Aren't you afraid of losing even your underpants?"
"Unafraid, this time we must bet, even if losing our underpants, we must bet." Their eyes became determined.
Ye Yu shook his head, "I don't want your underpants, afraid they might have a smell."
The Seven Douluo originally wanted to bet with Tang San, but now considered Ye Yu's challenge impossible to accomplish.
"Then let's bet; bring out your treasures, Sudhana." Ye Yu agreed and gave the Seven Douluo a nickname.
The Seven Douluo were displeased with this nickname.
"Previously lost because we underestimated your terror, but this bet involves us, and we're very confident in our strength."
"You're bound to lose this time. Even if the Great Tributor can only stand even against us, do you think you can defeat the Great Tributor?"
Ye Yu shook his head, "I can't."
At this moment, he couldn't win in three days.
"Isn't that so?"
"Old Ma, stop talking or Ye Yu won't bet with us."
"Right, right."
Seahorse Douluo looked at Poseisy, worried Ye Yu might suddenly not want to bet.
Ye Yu said, "Of course I'll bet, but first, let me see the value of your treasures collected over the year."
Soon, the Seven Douluo each brought out the precious items collected over the year, Ye Yu glanced, nodded, "Together they equal one Immortal-grade Medicinal Herb, so let's bet with Seven-leaf Profound Water Algae."
"Good!"
The seven were very excited.
Looking at the excited seven, Ye Yu sighed, "You seven, not only are you Sudhana but also true representatives of 'Real Fragrance'."
Originally, they were determined not to bet anymore, but this time, it was due to confidence in their combined strength.
In three days, Ye Yu couldn't defeat the Great Tributor, but not necessarily unable to defeat them. Though combined, they weren't one entity; Ye Yu's constitution doesn't fear numbers, hence their joint combat power against him would be significantly discounted.
Seahorse Douluo looked at Poseisy and asked smilingly, "Great Tributor, this time you…"
Before finishing, Poseisy turned away and left, calmly saying, "I've said I will no longer believe you old fellows' words."
"Great Tributor, this time you must trust us; you know our strength seven teamed up."
"Indeed, we deeply regret your loss last time, this time we'll give it our all to fight!"
Poseisy remained unwavering, "I trust none of you fools, you old fellows are very deceitful."
As Poseisy walked away, the Seven Seahorse Douluos felt helpless.
"Then this time, let us seven regain our lost face, win back what was lost."
"Yes, we'll start training in cooperation, definitely must win!"
"Seven Monsters teamed up have combat power equal to an ordinary Titled Douluo, not to mention the seven of us, when the fight begins, he'll regret it."
...
Ye Yu anticipated, "Let's wait and see, I also want a good fight."
