Douluo: The Body is Supreme

Time flew by quickly. Soon, Yang Xiong and his group had spent a full nine months on Ring-Shaped Island. Everyone's strength had improved to a certain extent, but compared to cultivating under the Sea God's Light, the speed was much slower.

Under the Sea God's Light, everyone's average soul power increased by five or six levels, not to mention the significant improvement in physical fitness.

However, during this time in the Ring-Shaped Sea, Tang San and his group generally increased their soul power by two levels.

In comparison, Yang Xiong's group also increased their soul power by about two levels. Even Qin Shuang absorbed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, reaching level seventy-two soul power.

The most troublesome was Huo Wu. Her soul power had reached level seventy, but unfortunately, since she had already absorbed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, due to the assessment, she had no time to acquire a new soul ring.

At Yang Xiong's request, everyone's underwater combat ability greatly improved. Even Huo Wu had completely adapted to fighting in the water. Although the seawater had a certain suppression on her Fire Shadow Martial Soul, she could still exert eighty percent of her strength.

However, the biggest problem facing Tang San and his group now was not the increase in soul power, but how the six of them would pass the assessment.

Tang San and his group had tried countless times, but there was simply no way to pass through the Ring-Shaped Sea, let alone compare themselves to the 100,000-year Devil Soul Great White Shark.

Now, Tang San was only level seventy-three. Xiao Wu, after absorbing a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, reached level seventy-two soul power. These two were the only Soul Saints among Tang San's six.

As a 100,000-year transformed soul beast, Xiao Wu could condense her first six soul rings on her own, but after reaching level seventy, she completely entered maturity and was no different from an ordinary Soul Master. Future advancements would require absorbing soul rings.

It was unknown, given Xiao Wu's attitude towards 100,000-year soul beasts, whether she would want to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring in the future.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan were all Soul Emperors. Among them, Zhu Zhuqing broke through to Soul Emperor after receiving the reward for passing the first assessment.

Not only were Tang San and his group extremely frustrated, but even Ning Rongrong and the others were very worried. If they couldn't pass the assessment, all six of them would die. The Sea God's Assessment would not show any mercy.

Even if Xiao Wu had a good relationship with Xiao Bai, the 100,000-year Devil Soul Great White Shark, Xiao Bai could not lower the difficulty of the assessment for Xiao Wu. Xiao Bai dared not blaspheme the dignity of the Sea God.

Dai Mubai and Yang Xiong had always had a decent relationship. At this moment, Dai Mubai looked at Yang Xiong, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and hesitated to speak.

During the first assessment, although Oscar and Ning Rongrong were the ones who truly helped, it was all arranged by Yang Xiong.

And now, in the second stage, it seemed to have severely exceeded the strength of all of them, and it was another moment of life and death.

Even if Oscar and Ning Rongrong assisted Tang San's group of six, their strength would not be enough to pass the Devil Soul Great White Shark's assessment.

Although Yang Xiong had a small rift with Tang San and Xiao Wu due to their previous conversation, they could only be considered ordinary classmates. However, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu had a very good relationship. The group of girls had become even closer after a year of training together.

Yang Xiong looked at Dai Mubai's expression and couldn't help but shake his head. "Dai Mubai, we've been classmates for so many years. Just say what's on your mind."

A bitter expression appeared on Dai Mubai's face. "Yang Xiong, we were too arrogant. We didn't expect that with our strength and the difficulty of the Sea God's Assessment for us, we probably won't be able to pass."

Over the past year, Tang San's group of six had also cultivated diligently and tried to fight Xiao Bai in the Ring-Shaped Sea as much as possible. Although their underwater combat ability had improved to some extent, the gap in strength with Xiao Bai was too large. Even if they used the Netherworld White Tiger, it wouldn't have much effect.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, the young couple, had been together for so many years and had actually created a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, somewhat similar to the Dragon Snake Strike of the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny. Unfortunately, a Soul Emperor-level Martial Soul Fusion Skill didn't have much effect on a 100,000-year soul beast.

Yang Xiong said helplessly, "Dai Mubai, although this second stage is a group assessment where everyone can help each other, if you really encounter individual assessment content later, what will you do to pass?"

In fact, during this year, Tang San's group of six had already shown signs of splitting. Although everyone still admired Tang San's strength, their mindset had subtly changed. At least, Tang San was no longer in an absolute leadership position.

Ning Rongrong, who was standing nearby, suddenly interrupted, "Little Xiongzi, I think Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, and Yan Yan are too pitiful. If you don't help them, I'm afraid they will all die."

"As for this Dai Tiger, although he's a womanizer, he's been quite devoted to Zhu Qing these past few years, and his personality has changed a lot. Just help them out."

Dai Mubai's face turned extremely awkward upon hearing this, and he didn't know how to refute it, as these were all his past embarrassing deeds.

Yang Xiong looked at Ning Rongrong and the others and couldn't help but sigh. "Rong Rong, the Sea God's Assessment is not that simple. The time and difficulty of each stage are carefully designed and won't give us a moment of slack. If we help them now, you will lose three months of cultivation time, and the difficulty of the subsequent assessments will increase significantly. Don't you care about that?"

Ning Rongrong and the others exchanged glances, each lost in thought. Finally, Ning Rongrong spoke, "Little Xiongzi, no matter how difficult the assessment is, we can pass it. Xiao Wu and I are sisters after all, so what if it's a little more difficult?"

Yang Xiong, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, stood up directly. "Very good. Since you all have this understanding, let's pass the assessment today."

Everyone was immediately overjoyed. They had been struggling with this assessment for a while, and now that Yang Xiong was personally participating, there shouldn't be any problems with the assessment.

Yang Xiong continued, "Rong Rong, Oscar, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, I hope you remember today's decision. This might change your lives."

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others were thoughtful but didn't know what to say. After all, this concerned their lives.

...

Next, whether it was Ning Rongrong and the others or Tang San's group, everyone gathered together. There were a total of thirteen people.

Based on everyone's situation, including each person's soul skills, Yang Xiong devised a relatively rigorous strategy.

At Yang Xiong's command, everyone immediately entered the sea from their attacking stance, quickly summoning their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

Except for Yang Xiong, everyone else had no restrictions on the use of their Martial Souls and Soul Skills. Only Tang San and Ning Rongrong were restricted from using their Seventh Soul Skill.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar immediately provided support to everyone. Everyone's strength was greatly enhanced, all thanks to consuming Oscar's Fourth Soul Skill: Excited Pink Sausage.

A figure flashed quickly through the seawater. It was the Devil Soul Great White Shark, Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai roared angrily, "You shameless wretch who indiscriminately slaughters 100,000-year soul beasts, you actually still want to pass my assessment? Dream on!"

Yang Xiong snorted coldly. Facing the Devil Soul Great White Shark swimming rapidly towards him, he threw a punch with all his might.

The Devil Soul Great White Shark collided with Yang Xiong, and Yang Xiong was directly knocked back several meters.

Although in the vast sea, neither Yang Xiong nor the Devil Soul Great White Shark, Xiao Bai, could do anything to each other, in the vast sea, Xiao Bai's speed was faster and she was more flexible. This was the true advantage of sea soul beasts over land Soul Masters.

Tang San and the others also reacted extremely quickly. Countless Blue Silver Grass grew rapidly in the sea.

Xiao Bai roared, and a water pillar shot up into the sky, directly shattering the Blue Silver Grass. Even Tang San himself was heavily struck.

Feng Xiaotian, Xiao Wu, Yang Wei, and Qin Shuang immediately used their Martial Soul True Bodies, especially Feng Xiaotian and Qin Shuang. Both of them were extremely strong and attacked Xiao Bai with all their might.

Feng Xiaotian was especially fast, directly using his Fourth Soul Skill, Demon Wolf Storm. A huge Gale Demon Wolf formed a tornado in the seawater, forcefully interrupting the attacking water pillar.

Qin Shuang had the strongest physical quality among everyone. His Vajra Bear forcefully slapped forward, strongly resisting Xiao Bai's attack.

Yang Wei's Mystic Iron Sword unleashed countless Sword Qi, as if the seawater was being cut apart.

Even though Xiao Bai's strength and speed were very strong, she was facing the full power of so many Soul Saints.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing immediately activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger. The huge Netherworld White Tiger clawed with all its might, and the entire surface of the water seemed to be shattered. The Soul Emperor-level Netherworld White Tiger possessed the attack power of a top-tier Soul Saint.

...

Yang Xiong and his group didn't seem to be in a hurry to break through the Ring-Shaped Sea. Instead, they wanted to fight the Devil Soul Great White Shark, Xiao Bai, with all their might. Both sides basically exerted their strength to the extreme.

However, Xiao Bai's speed in the sea was too fast. She was the fastest among sea soul beasts in the sea, far exceeding the speed of Yang Xiong and his group.

According to Yang Xiong's plan, instead of desperately trying to break through the Ring-Shaped Sea, it was better to fight Xiao Bai with all their might. This way, the chances of winning might be higher, and besides, Yang Xiong had killed 100,000-year soul beasts before.

Although Xiao Bai was powerful and extremely fast, she didn't have a significant advantage against Yang Xiong and his group, especially since Yang Xiong could directly withstand Xiao Bai's attacks. The strength of both sides was very close. If the use of Soul Ring skills hadn't been restricted, Yang Xiong alone could have defeated Xiao Bai.

The fight in the sea was extremely fierce. Everyone attacked Xiao Bai with all their might. What troubled Xiao Bai the most was not Yang Xiong, but rather Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.

In terms of Martial Souls, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu greatly countered Xiao Bai. Huo Wu's huge Fire Shadow caused the entire seawater to have a very high temperature due to the influence of the fire element. Some of the seawater was directly evaporated, and even some of Xiao Bai's soul skills were restricted.

Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er directly condensed water into ice, continuously using her First Soul Skill: Ice Seal. Even though Xiao Bai could break free from the ice's control instantly, the ice surrounding her greatly restricted her movements, making her less agile.

Seeing both sides locked in fierce combat, the situation in the sea gradually changed, turning into a group assault on Xiao Bai. No matter how powerful a 100,000-year soul beast was, she was now constrained everywhere.

Moreover, Yang Xiong intentionally or unintentionally controlled the battlefield, gradually shifting it towards another part of the Ring-Shaped Sea, getting closer to breaking through the Ring-Shaped Sea.

Just then, Xiao Bai seemed to notice that the surrounding environment was a bit off. If this continued, she would be incredibly frustrated, while Yang Xiong and his group would easily pass the assessment.

"You humans, how dare you scheme against me! I'll show you my true strength."

A special light emanated from Xiao Bai. Under the illumination of this light, Xiao Bai seemed to merge with the entire sea surface. The seawater immediately became turbulent, continuously attacking Yang Xiong and his group. This was Xiao Bai's Devil Shark Domain.
