Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Discussion on Self-Condensing spirit rings
"Boom~" "Boom~" "Boom~"......
In the Ring Sea of Sea God Island, Poseidon waved her scepter, summoning a massive water curtain that easily blocked all attacks launched against her.
Her opponents were the Seven Saint Pillar Douluo of Sea God Island and the 100,000-year Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai.
Watching their combined attacks being so easily thwarted by Poseidon, Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying, "Grand Priestess is truly becoming more and more terrifying."
Originally, Sea Dragon Douluo had felt that even if Poseidon was a Level 99 Limit Douluo, with their seven Saint Pillars working together in perfect coordination, they might not be entirely incapable of putting up a fight against Poseidon.
But reality had completely shattered his expectations; in the past month, their seven individuals had achieved extremely tacit cooperation, yet they couldn't even break through Poseidon's defense, let alone put up a fight.
If Poseidon were to be even slightly serious, they would be instantly defeated, and even with Xiao Bai, a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, joining them, the situation remained unchanged.
"Indeed, the current Grand Priestess is at least fifty percent stronger than she was in that battle decades ago."
At this moment, Sea Horse Douluo also nodded in agreement.
Sea Woman Douluo, however, smiled and said, "If those two were to come now, I estimate the Grand Priestess could defeat them even without mobilizing the power of the sea."
Decades ago, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu had ascended Sea God Island to challenge Poseidon, and were ultimately defeated by Poseidon with the aid of the ocean's power, a battle that firmly established Sea God Island's standing.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Poseidon, who was in the midst of battle, stopped and turned her head to look in one direction.
Just as everyone was wondering why Poseidon had stopped, a moment later, a blue meteor appeared in their sight.
"It's Mo Hui, he's back!"
Upon seeing the blue meteor, Sea Woman Douluo immediately exclaimed with some excitement.
If there was anyone among the Seven Saint Pillar Douluo who most admired and was wholeheartedly convinced by Mo Hui at this moment, it was undoubtedly Sea Woman Douluo.
After all, Mo Hui was not only the first person willing to calm down and appreciate her Sea Calming Divine Melody, but he even put aside the crucial matter of the Sea God's Trial to spend a day listening to her flute playing, which deeply moved Sea Woman Douluo.
Sea Dragon Douluo, on the other hand, looked at the blue meteor and said with a serious expression, "He's finally back?"
Mo Hui's Sixth Trial was to defeat the combined forces of their Seven Saint Pillar Douluo, originally scheduled to begin one week after Mo Hui passed the Fifth Trial, but unexpectedly, Mo Hui had been gone for over a month, only returning today.
Soon, Mo Hui arrived before them, jumped off Pidgeot, and addressed the Seven Saint Pillar Douluo, "Apologies, I was delayed by some matters. Are you cultivating? If so, how about we start tomorrow?"
"His aura is different now."
At this moment, Poseidon narrowed her eyes as she looked at Mo Hui, gripping the scepter in her hand, thinking to herself.
Originally, in Poseidon's eyes, although Mo Hui was powerful, he did not pose a threat to her, but now Poseidon felt a dangerous aura from Mo Hui, which indicated that Mo Hui at least possessed some means that would require her to be cautious.
Upon hearing Mo Hui's words, the Seven Saint Pillar Douluo exchanged glances, then Sea Dragon Douluo spoke, "No need for tomorrow, we can recover and then fight you, Mo Hui."
"Alright then, I'll wait on the side. Call me when you've recovered."
Mo Hui nodded, then walked to the side, found a flat spot, and began modifying a blueprint.
Seeing this, Poseidon came to Mo Hui's side, took a brief look, and then let out a soft "hmm," saying, "This is a spirit power circuit. Are you researching a self-created Spirit Ability?"
"Something like that. To be precise, it should be my Ninth Spirit Ability."
Mo Hui said to Poseidon without thinking, while drawing with his pen.
"Ninth Spirit Ability?"
Upon hearing this, Poseidon immediately frowned and asked, "Are you perhaps preparing to wait for a god-bestowed spirit ring? But Sea God has already given you two god-bestowed spirit rings, and may not give you another as a reward later."
Hearing Poseidon's words, Mo Hui's hand, which was drawing the spirit power circuit on the blueprint, suddenly stopped. He turned to Poseidon and said, "Senior Poseidon, do you know the principle of a god-bestowed spirit ring?"
"A god-bestowed spirit ring is a manifestation of Sea God's great power, but at its root, it should be a divine force creation," Poseidon replied without hesitation.
As the Grand Priestess of Sea God Island, the person closest to a god in the world, Poseidon could even utilize divine force to a certain extent, so she easily articulated the essence of a god-bestowed spirit ring.
Mo Hui nodded and said, "Senior Poseidon, you are correct. The essence of a god-bestowed spirit ring is indeed a divine force, but in my opinion, it is also a form of energy. Since this divine force can allow people to condense a spirit ring without the aid of a Spirit Beast, then what about other energies?"
"Boom——"
Mo Hui's words were like a clap of thunder, exploding directly in Poseidon's mind.
Yes, if divine force could do it, then what about other energies?
But the next moment, Poseidon frowned and retorted, "But how can other energies be compared to divine force? The difference between them is too great. What divine force can achieve, other energies may not be able to!"
Hearing this, Mo Hui smiled and shook his head, replying, "Indeed, other energies cannot compare to divine force, but that does not mean they cannot be used to condense a spirit ring."
With that, Mo Hui stood up and displayed Pidgeot's purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, red spirit rings.
Then, Mo Hui pointed to his blood-red eighth spirit ring and said to Poseidon, "This spirit ring of mine was condensed in a place with extremely rich wind-attribute energy, and I did not use a god-bestowed spirit ring."
"What!?"
Poseidon looked at the blood-red 100,000-year spirit ring on Mo Hui's body, her heart filled with immense shock.
It was possible to condense a spirit ring using energy other than divine force, and even a 100,000-year spirit ring? How could this be!
But very quickly, Poseidon discovered a flaw in Mo Hui's words and hurriedly said, "Impossible. The birth of a 100,000-year spirit ring requires a massive amount of energy. If not divine force, but other energies, even if theoretically possible, in practice, just absorbing the energy would take an unknown number of years. But from when you left to when you returned and broke through to Spirit Douluo, it hasn't even been more than a month in total. How could you have absorbed enough energy to condense a 100,000-year spirit ring?"
"Senior Poseidon truly lives up to her reputation as a Limit Douluo; she quickly spotted the flaw in my self-condensing spirit ring method."
Mo Hui looked at Poseidon with admiration and said, "Indeed, the energy required to condense a spirit ring is too vast. Even if ordinary people find a place with rich energy, it is difficult to gather enough energy within the allotted time.
Therefore, there needs to be a complementary item, which is my other self-created Spirit Ability, Delta Airflow!"
