Chapter 249: The Ultimate Breakthrough of Body Refinement
Under Yang Xiong's arrangements, Oscar made a large quantity of Super Recovery Big Sausages for everyone to eat.
Even Dai Mubai and Tang San took many sausages from Oscar. They had been classmates with Oscar for many years, and even Oscar couldn't bear to see them struggle with the assessment.
Yang Xiong took out many items from his Soul Tool, used needle and thread to cut and sew a bag from beast hide that could be tied directly to the arm. He placed the Super Recovery Big Sausages inside and fastened it securely so it wouldn't be washed away by the sea waves. During Tidal Body Tempering, they could just lower their heads to eat the sausages, fully utilizing the gaps between the waves to quickly eat.
Everyone was also extremely surprised by Yang Xiong's design. Each person made a small bag, and even Tang San and the others followed suit.
Over the next three months, with repeated Tidal Body Tempering sessions, the time everyone spent on Tidal Body Tempering each day gradually increased, more than several times compared to the beginning.
Especially with the help of the Super Recovery Big Sausages, they could endure for a longer time during the body tempering process.
After a full three months, the time Ning Rongrong and the other seven persisted each day continued to climb, from just over two hours initially to around seven hours. However, this was already close to everyone's current limit.
Unexpectedly, the ones who persisted the longest were Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu.
Although these two girls were only Soul Emperors, they had actually reached level seventy, lacking only a Soul Ring.
Especially since these two girls had extremely tenacious personalities, Tidal Body Tempering had a significant effect on them, visibly helping them grow considerably.
Of course, there was another reason why these two lasted longer than the others.
According to Yang Xiong's requirements, after everyone reached their limit during each Tidal Body Tempering session, they would basically faint. But after fainting, as soon as they recovered slightly, they had to immediately resume Tidal Body Tempering, without any relaxation.
Both the sausages provided by Oscar and the expensive medicinal herbs occasionally taken out by Yang Xiong could help everyone recover quickly.
Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu had special Martial Souls, and they recovered the fastest after fainting each time. In terms of persistence, they even surpassed everyone else.
Yang Xiong's daily Tidal Body Tempering time also began to gradually increase. At first, he could indeed only persist for fourteen hours, but after three months, he could basically persist for sixteen hours every day.
Purely in terms of physical fitness improvement, Yang Xiong even surpassed Ning Rongrong and the others. One must know that the closer one gets to their limit, the harder it is to improve further, yet Yang Xiong basically improved steadily, increasing by about half an hour to an hour each month.
Even Bo Saixi was a little surprised. Currently, among everyone, only Yang Xiong's situation could ensure passing the assessment, yet Yang Xiong seemed completely unsatisfied, seemingly pursuing longer daily Tidal Body Tempering times.
When the time reached around five months, everyone basically started approaching the time required for the assessment, especially Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er, who could both reach around nine hours. It seemed they were both breaking through their own limits step by step.
After a full eleven months, there was still nearly a month left until the final Tidal Body Tempering.
On this day, Huo Wu seemed even more serious than usual. Normally, she could now persist for twelve hours of Tidal Body Tempering every day, the longest among everyone.
Especially after each Tidal Body Tempering session, she would only rest for four or five hours, quickly devour the Super Recovery Big Sausages and the medicinal herbs prepared by Yang Xiong, and immediately re-enter the body tempering. This kind of personality made the boys feel a little ashamed.
Even Feng Xiaotian felt distressed and even tried his best to persist longer to accompany Huo Wu for a while.
And this time, Huo Wu's eyes were filled with determination; she looked as if she was ready to die.
She didn't bring anything this time, not even the Super Recovery Big Sausages, and stood directly on the Sunken Silver Pillar.
After a full twelve hours, Huo Wu was completely exhausted at this moment. Not only was her Soul Power completely depleted, but she was also filled with pain.
But at this moment, Huo Wu appeared incredibly defiant, just like when she faced Huo Wu Yaoyang being thrown at her back then, with a feeling of being ready to die at any moment.
Under her gritted teeth persistence, by the sixteenth hour, under the impact of the sea, Huo Wu seemed to undergo a transformation in that instant, like a ball of flame, filled with unwillingness and defiance towards the sea.
In this instant, the flame seemed to undergo a transformation, especially when Huo Wu was brought back to land by Bo Saixi, her whole body was wrapped in flames. The flames on her body seemed completely inextinguishable, like the fires of hell.
Especially within the flames, there was actually endless golden light, as if some kind of transformation had been completed.
Yang Xiong was completely stunned by Huo Wu's condition. This wasn't just a change in Huo Wu's flames, but also a change in her Martial Soul. It was likely that in that instant, Huo Wu's Martial Soul had truly achieved complete awakening. Under the stimulation of the Sea God's divine power and her own persistent efforts, she had finally completed the final transformation.
Yang Xiong was very certain that this was likely the true secondary awakening of her Body Martial Soul, and it should be a gold-level awakening.
Yang Xiong glanced at Huo Wu, his entire being filled with fervor. Tidal Body Tempering was indeed what he had always pursued most. If even Huo Wu could awaken, then he could absolutely achieve another awakening.
He saw Yang Xiong stand on the Sunken Silver Pillar once more. This time, he was more resolute and confident than ever before.
Facing the repeated pounding of the sea waves, the extreme pain throughout his body, and the feeling that every inch of his muscle was under attack, Yang Xiong stood proudly on the Sunken Silver Pillar, showing no intention of retreating.
As time passed, Yang Xiong didn't know how long he had been on the Sunken Silver Pillar. He could only feel the people around him leaving and then returning to stand on the Sunken Silver Pillar again and again.
During this process, Yang Xiong felt as if he was completely out of control. His body seemed to be completely beyond his command, only continuing to persevere with a hazy consciousness.
He even felt an endless hunger from his body, and his entire soul seemed to be impacted by the sea waves, only holding on with his last shred of will.
Just at this final moment, a monstrous sea wave, carrying boundless power, crashed down. In that instant, it felt as if the entire ocean was assaulting Yang Xiong, like a god, or like Bo Saixi's Martial Soul, the Sea God.
But Yang Xiong gritted his teeth. Even though his Soul Rings and Soul Bone skills were restricted by the Sunken Silver Pillar, his entire body actually emitted an endless blood-red light. This was not soul power, nor was it the Slaughter Domain, but an endless Killing Intent emanating from the very core of his being.
The entire Killing Intent seemed like a blood-red giant, especially with its blood-red eyes. From its eyes shot out an extremely terrifying blood-red light, colliding with the massive sea wave, like a giant facing the ocean, like a giant facing a god.
Yang Xiong felt that in this instant, he had unconsciously broken through some kind of restraint. Both his spiritual power and the strength of his body seemed to have broken through their limits. All the bones in his entire body seemed to have merged into one entity in this instant, achieving some special transformation.
And his Martial Soul, which had been suppressed, seemed to suddenly manifest at this moment. Originally, Yang Xiong's body was entirely blood-red, with countless gold patterns contained within the blood-red color.
But at this moment, the gold patterns seemed to have broken through their limits, covering his entire body. Finally, all the gold patterns broke through some kind of restraint and connected together. His entire body, from head to toe, turned completely gold, looking like a golden giant.
The people on the shore were incredibly surprised at this moment. Among everyone, the most surprised should have been Tang San. He felt that what Yang Xiong used in that moment should have been the Purple Demon Eyes, but Yang Xiong's Purple Demon Eyes had reached an extremely high realm, seemingly having broken through to the legendary limit, which meant reaching the legendary fourth realm of the Purple Demon Eyes: Vastness.
One must know that even with so many years of diligent practice, Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes had always been difficult to advance. Even after absorbing a Soul Bone that day, he had only just entered the third realm, and since then, he had made no progress.
And now, in terms of the cultivation of the Purple Demon Eyes, the two were completely not on the same level.
Even more surprised was Bo Saixi. Originally, according to the Sea God's instructions, she was performing double Tidal Body Tempering on Yang Xiong, and during this process, she was suppressing Yang Xiong's soul power and Martial Soul.
But in that instant just now, not only did she seem to lose control of the sea waves, but she also felt that Yang Xiong's spiritual power had grown significantly in that instant, reaching the same realm as hers.
One must know that she was a level 99 Limit Douluo, while Yang Xiong was merely a quasi-Soul Douluo. There was an insurmountable gap between them. In that instant just now, she felt as if Yang Xiong had become incredibly powerful, as if his spiritual power was on the same level as hers.
What surprised her even more was that Yang Xiong's Martial Soul also seemed to have reached the same realm as hers just now. Even on the sea, her Sea God Martial Soul could not suppress Yang Xiong.
One must know that on the sea, relying on the power of the ocean, Bo Saixi's Sea God Martial Soul could even suppress Qian Daoliu's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Yet, now it seemed unable to suppress Yang Xiong's Martial Soul.
...
After an unknown amount of time, when Yang Xiong woke up again, he felt incredibly comfortable throughout his body. Not only had his perception greatly improved, but his strength seemed to have increased again. He could even see finer details around him, see the fluctuations of soul power in the air, and see the essence of everything in the world.
Bo Saixi looked at Yang Xiong, her expression seemingly having changed. "Yang Xiong, congratulations."
Yang Xiong quickly said, "Thank you, senior, for your help."
Bo Saixi shook her head. "It wasn't me who helped you. Your strength and physical fitness are stronger than I imagined. That last moment wasn't me."
Yang Xiong asked doubtfully, "If it wasn't the pressure from senior, then who was it just now? Was it the Sea God?"
Bo Saixi was extremely serious. "That instant just now should have been the Sea God descending. Only the Sea God has such great power, and only the Sea God would care about every citizen of Sea God Island."
