After a long while, Tang San finally calmed down from the excitement of Xiao Wu's resurrection. He released his embrace, took a step back, and turned his gaze to his companions.
"Congratulations, Xiao San… Welcome back, Xiao Wu," Dai Mubai said sincerely.
"Xiao Wu, you're finally back!" Ning Rongrong happily stepped forward and gave her a big hug.
"Yes… I'm back," Xiao Wu said with a smile on her face.
Bo Saixi's voice, filled with a strange rhythm, sounded, "Child, a reunion after a long separation is indeed something to be happy about, but can you spare some time now to answer some of my questions?"
Tang San looked at Bo Saixi, his eyes full of respect and gratitude for this elder who had provided great help to Xiao Wu.
"Senior, please ask. Tang San will definitely answer everything he knows without reservation."
Bo Saixi asked in a gentle voice, "What was that soul skill you used just now?"
Tang San thought for a moment and shook his head. "I'm not quite sure either. The sixth soul ring that Xiao Wu sacrificed to me originally had two soul skills.
"The first soul skill is 'Virtualization'. When used, it allows me to be immune to physical attacks, and soul power attacks are weakened by fifty percent.
"The second soul skill is 'Random'. I can't control this soul skill. Its effect is to randomly generate a skill that will help me based on the situation I'm facing.
"Just now, when I was about to shake the sixth soul ring away from my body, it automatically absorbed my soul power and activated.
"I don't know what skill it 'Randomly' selected just now, but the effect is to activate at a set time… After setting the activation time, it activated at that time, returning my time to a few minutes before…
"Not only did it restore my body and my soul power, but even the sixth soul ring itself, which should have been shaken away from my body and integrated into Xiao Wu, was restored.
"However, the effect of the soul ring skill has changed somewhat. 'Virtualization' has disappeared, leaving only 'Random'."
"This…" Bo Saixi looked puzzled. Even with her vast knowledge, this was the first time she had heard of such a strange soul skill.
"So, you can't control it either, and you can't 'Randomly' select the skill that reversed time just now if you activate it again?"
Looking at Bo Saixi's eager expression, Tang San smiled helplessly:
"If it could be fixed as that skill, that would be great… I'm also very tempted by this skill, which is so powerful that it can be called a miracle.
"However, even with that 'miracle', it's probably impossible to use it to revive my great-grandfather…
"Everyone's will is unique. I have a feeling that the skill just now can only not work on things that concern the essence of a person and have a unique nature."
"I see… That's right, otherwise, whoever possesses that skill would be more like a god than a god," Bo Saixi sighed, then revealed a relieved smile.
"However, although your sixth soul skill is not a fixed time skill, it can have unexpected and wonderful effects at certain times, and its effect may be even greater… Is this the infinite possibility brought about by love?"
Tang San's face was filled with pride and self-confidence. "This is the testament to the love between me and Xiao Wu. It is our shared treasure."
A certain Mr. Thief who was watching this muttered, "Yes, that's right. This is indeed the infinite possibility brought about by 'lovers'…"
Just as the Shrek Seven Devils were feeling extremely happy for their companion's reunion, Bo Saixi slowly opened her mouth:
"Although it may seem a little heartless to pour cold water on you at this time, it's time for you to know some things… I didn't tell you before in order to let you cultivate in peace."
Then, she briefly told everyone about the events that had occurred on the continent in the past three years.
These major events stunned them.
The destruction of the Clear Sky Sect, "Xue Qinghe" marrying Bibi Dong, the Heaven Dou Empire renamed the Spirit Empire, a full-scale war between the two empires…
"Is this… is this true?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but worry about her father and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Absolutely true… This war is no ordinary war. Even Qian Daoliu has set foot on the battlefield, and Bibi Dong has also shown the power of a Limit Douluo. Furthermore, that general of the Tudor Empire is fighting against many Spirit Hall Title Douluos with his own strength… These were personally investigated by Sea Dragon Douluo when he went to the continent. Even I find it a little unbelievable," Bo Saixi said with a solemn expression.
She had fought against Qian Daoliu before and knew his strength. And Yan Jin was able to contend against two Limit Douluos, including Qian Daoliu, and the remaining Title Douluos with his own strength, indicating that the other party had stepped into the realm of God in some aspects through some means!
"My God… Is that red-haired guy that powerful?" Ma Hongjun clicked his tongue.
Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled involuntarily after hearing about Yan Jin's news. Her past memories began to resurface, and the despair and pain of having her appearance ruined had never disappeared.
Dai Mubai's face was gloomy. The opponent's power made him feel hopeless for revenge.
"Clear Sky Sect… How was the Clear Sky Sect destroyed?" Tang San's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity.
"It is said that in the early stages of the war, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang promised to help Spirit Hall eliminate the Clear Sky Sect in order to ask Spirit Hall for help for the Heaven Dou Empire… But he didn't expect to let the wolf into the house. In the end, Spirit Hall took the Heaven Dou regime by taking advantage of the former Crown Prince Xue Qinghe," Bo Saixi replied.
Then, she continued, "I didn't expect that this generation of Spirit Hall's Pope would be willing to sacrifice her own happiness for power and marry someone with whom she had little contact."
"What? Teacher? Impossible… That's absolutely impossible!" Tang San couldn't believe it.
Bo Saixi remained unmoved and said softly, "We don't know what the truth is, but this is the news that Sea Dragon Douluo obtained when he went to gather information."
"Sister Bo Saixi, what about Shrek Academy? Did Senior Sea Dragon find out about that?" Ma Hongjun asked with a smile.
"You glib-tongued brat," Bo Saixi glared at him and replied:
"Sea Dragon Douluo only collected the basic situation of the continent, focusing mainly on the major forces that could determine the future direction of the continent. He didn't have that much energy to pay attention to an academy."
A look of worry appeared on Ma Hongjun's face.
Bo Saixi looked towards the direction of the continent and said in a deep voice, "I don't know how long this war will last, but your time is running out. This is a war involving faith and God's trials…
"Perhaps, after both sides obtain what they want from it, a true God will be born… As for what happened with that fluctuation before, I don't know either. Maybe someone succeeded in becoming a God, or maybe they failed…
"The situation on the continent is confusing, but one thing is certain: even a Limit Douluo cannot play a decisive role in the war. If you want to become the leader in this chaotic situation, then you must become the Sea God…
"You must know that the Sea God is among the top existences even among the Gods. His inheritance is naturally first-class."
"I understand," Tang San nodded emphatically. "Senior, can you prepare a sea ship for us? I want to hunt sea soul beasts and attach soul rings to my Clear Sky Hammer to complete the eighth trial as soon as possible."
"Your current condition is not suitable for battle. Why don't you rest for two days before going? Although time is tight, it's not a big deal," Bo Saixi asked.
Although Tang San had recovered a lot under the effect of time reversal, activating time reversal also consumed a lot of energy. Even though Amon secretly bore most of it for him, the remaining consumption was enough to empty a Title Douluo.
His mental exhaustion had not disappeared.
"No need," Tang San shook his head and refused. "It's enough to rest on the ship for a day or two. This won't delay our search for sea soul beasts."
Bo Saixi agreed. She reminded, "Since you insist, then let's arrange it that way. By the way, don't waste the soul ring and soul bone of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. You can attach its soul ring to the last soul ring of the Clear Sky Hammer.
"In addition, your right arm bone is relatively weak. If you have the opportunity, you can cut off your right arm when you are about to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King… A 100,000-year soul beast will definitely drop the soul bone that the soul master who killed it lacks."
"If I have the opportunity, I will do so," Tang San responded decisively.
...
On the "Azure Avenger", a rough and bold, but completely out-of-tune song echoed:
"Surge, surge, surge,
"Oh sea, surge against the gray and cold rocks!
"Surge, surge, surge,
"Oh sea, collapse at the foot of the rocks!"
This song completely violated normal human cognition, with a noise-like metallic roar that was both irritating and disgusting.
Lei Yin's forehead twitched as he walked out of the cabin, looking at Alger with a blank expression. He opened his mouth, trying to restrain his dissatisfaction:
"I feel a little dizzy."
Alger pretended to be concerned and asked, "Are you seasick? Oh, the ship's infirmary has medicine for seasickness. You can go get some.
"For soul masters from the continent, they often can't adapt to life on the ship quickly. This is normal. There's no need to force yourself."
Lei Yin glanced at his sailors who had plugged their ears and thought to himself that your sailors weren't very adapted either…
He was no longer euphemistic and said in a cold, unquestionable tone:
"I mean, stop that damn, murderous singing!"
"You can't deprive a captain who wants to become a singer of his dream!" Alger retorted as hard as he could.
"Commission increased by ten percent."
"Deal!" Alger replied decisively, "Sometimes, dreams have to compromise with reality."
"Remember, if I hear you disturbing my rest with that damn noise again, I'll sink you and your ship into the sea!" Lei Yin threatened in a low voice.
Alger patted his chest to assure him, "Since I've taken the money, I'll definitely not sing again!"
Lei Yin opened his mouth, speechless. He had only heard of spending money to listen to people sing, but this was the first time he had spent money to ask someone not to sing.
After Lei Yin turned around, Alger raised his hand and pinched his eyes, a mischievous smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
