—------------------—
In a span of over a year, everyone's strength experienced a massive wave of growth.
Furthermore, everyone's Gods Trial was still far from complete, so there was still room for improvement ahead.
Such prospects made people inevitably look forward to what level they would ultimately reach on this trip to Sea God Island.
On a certain beach of Sea God Island, Yu Xiaogang was sitting quietly on the sand.
The currents would occasionally rush ashore, submerging Yu Xiaogang entirely.
However, whenever the seawater rushed up, faint fluctuations of Soul Power would emerge around Yu Xiaogang, isolating the seawater that would have otherwise washed over his body.
Therefore, even after staying in this environment for a long time, Yu Xiaogang's body was not truly soaked by the seawater.
At that moment, suddenly, a huge wave struck. Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes and stared directly at the wave, as if something terrifying was lurking within it.
And in fact, there truly was a terrifying thing inside the wave.
The next second, the towering wave parted, and a Devil Spirit Great White Shark with a ferocious appearance, a body glowing with metallic luster, a wide-open mouth, and baring grim, sharp teeth appeared within Yu Xiaogang's line of sight.
Facing this suddenly attacking Devil Spirit Great White Shark, Yu Xiaogang did not summon the Dragon, but instead rapidly circulated his Soul Power.
Along with the flow of Soul Power, pale golden and red patterns quietly emerged on Yu Xiaogang's right arm.
These patterns intertwined according to a certain rule, quickly forming a complex design.
Then, under the blessing of these patterns, Yu Xiaogang raised one hand, and a palm purely composed of Soul Power appeared before him.
The unfolded palm was about five meters high; gold constituted the palm's skin, and red constituted the palm's tendons, bones, and blood vessels. Under Yu Xiaogang's control, the palm flexibly blocked in front of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark, abruptly stopping its forward movement.
Then the palm transformed into a fist, striking out with lightning speed and directly punching the Devil Spirit Great White Shark back into the seawater.
"Ouch! You're using this Move again, you have no martial ethics!!"
However, what people didn't expect was that the Devil Spirit Great White Shark that was sent flying actually emitted an angry girl's voice.
Evidently, this Devil Spirit Great White Shark was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.
Hearing the angry voice of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark, Yu Xiaogang revealed a helpless expression.
"I've already been very mindful of martial ethics. You definitely wouldn't want to know what it would look like if I truly used any means necessary."
"Having said that, can you stop harassing me like this?"
"What on earth is there about me that attracts you? Can't I just change it?"
Yu Xiaogang's voice revealed helplessness.
"Who told you to possess so many strange and bizarre Moves? This is my first time seeing a human like you. Isn't it normal to be a little curious?"
The Devil Spirit Great White Shark that had fallen into the seawater poked its head out, its pair of eyes staring at Yu Xiaogang.
From its eyes, Yu Xiaogang saw anthropomorphic curiosity.
Seeing this look, Yu Xiaogang was once again speechless.
The Devil Spirit Great White Shark before him was the king of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark tribe guarding the periphery of Sea God Island, a Hundred Thousand Year Devil Spirit Great White Shark.
Of course, besides that, this Devil Spirit Great White Shark named Xiao Bai was also the Sea God's mount.
The reason he got to know it was because he was testing new things he had mastered on this beach.
During the time he had come to Sea God Island, Yu Xiaogang had spent most of his time immersed in Cultivate.
Not making good use of such a good place like Seagod's Light would truly be wasting the opportunity.
But relying solely on Cultivate wouldn't do either; a person always had to leave some time for relaxation.
For Yu Xiaogang, besides eating, drinking, and having fun during relaxation times, the other thing was experimenting with his own ideas.
For example, the newly learned Self-Created Spirit Ability constructed from formations, or the spirit tools commissioned from the blacksmiths of Sea God Island, for instance...
In short, experimenting with these things was also a very fun matter.
Take just now for example: the Soul Power giant palm that Yu Xiaogang used to block Xiao Bai and punched her flying with one blow was a Self-Created Spirit Ability researched on Sea God Island.
By engraving the Spirit Ability structure onto his own arm, enlarging and imitating the structure of a palm, it formed an attacking method.
This Move had nothing to do with his First Spirit Skill; it was entirely his own Self-Created Spirit Ability. In other words, if Yu Xiaogang was willing, he could completely teach this Move to others.
Furthermore, this wasn't even the complete form. The complete form was to spread the structural patterns all over his body, forming a giant of himself constructed entirely from Soul Power.
During battle, Yu Xiaogang only needed to sit inside the giant's body and control it to fight.
Based on this combat style, for the sake of simplicity, Yu Xiaogang gave this Spirit Ability the name "Soul Power Gundam".
And there were many more Self-Created Spirit Abilities completely researched by Yu Xiaogang himself, similar to Soul Power Gundam.
Moreover, every single one of their effects was wondrous.
And so Xiao Bai was attracted by Yu Xiaogang's miraculous Spirit Abilities.
Clearly being a human Spirit Master with only a single Spirit, the Spirit Abilities in his hands seemed to be endless.
Furthermore, every single Spirit Ability had aspects worth praising. Such a thing was simply too magical.
Therefore, when she saw Yu Xiaogang come to the beach to test Spirit Abilities once again, Xiao Bai finally couldn't help but poke her head out from the water and issued a request for battle to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang naturally did not refuse the battle invitation.
When he came to this beach to test his Spirit Abilities, Yu Xiaogang had already discovered Xiao Bai's existence.
After that time, Yu Xiaogang asked Bo Saixi, and upon learning of Xiao Bai's situation, he simply allowed the other party to observe.
Even to lure Xiao Bai, Yu Xiaogang specifically performed some interesting Self-Created Spirit Abilities.
Therefore, seeing that the other party finally couldn't help but take the initiative, a trace of a smile surfaced on Yu Xiaogang's face.
"Hmph, I knew you couldn't help it!"
Yu Xiaogang had been looking forward to a battle with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast for a long time.
As a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, Xiao Bai had the advantage of terrain; besides that, she was also the Sea God's mount.
The accumulation of all these factors was enough to allow Yu Xiaogang to clearly understand the specific combat power of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast through this battle, and to know the difference between a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast and a human Titled Douluo.
This was still very beneficial for his future self.
After all, he was at level 77, and his upcoming eighth spirit ring would undoubtedly have to be obtained by himself.
Exchanging blows with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast in advance could also be considered making some preparations for the future.
Thus Yu Xiaogang gladly accepted the challenge.
For the battle between the two sides, Yu Xiaogang took the initiative to choose to conduct it on the sea.
Although Xiao Bai was puzzled, since Yu Xiaogang took the initiative to choose, she would not refuse to occupy the advantageous environment.
Thus, a great battle unfolded.
That day, in a certain sea area surrounding Sea God Island, fierce winds howled and waves surged.
The ultimate victor of that battle was undoubtedly Yu Xiaogang.
Just looking at how Xiao Bai gritted her teeth every time she looked at Yu Xiaogang for a period of time after that battle, one could tell that she had lost that battle very aggrievedly.
