Douluo: The Body is Supreme

As the God-Bestowed Soul Ring ruptured, a powerful energy surged rapidly into Yang Xiong's body.

Compared to absorbing Soul Rings that exceeded his age limit each time, the energy from the God-Bestowed Soul Ring felt unusually gentle, gradually strengthening over time.

Yang Xiong only felt the energy becoming increasingly potent as it flowed in. By the end, it even far surpassed the energy he felt when absorbing a 100,000-Year Soul Ring.

Thinking of his long-held goal, Yang Xiong endured the intense pain throughout his body. Blood seeped from every pore, and every inch of his skin and every bone felt as if they had been heavily struck.

Both his Martial Soul and all his Soul Bones bore the pressure brought by the God-Bestowed Soul Ring. His entire being felt as if it could collapse at any moment.

Each time Yang Xiong was on the verge of collapse, the Blue Silver King Head Soul Bone in his brain pulled him back, allowing him to regain his composure again and again.

Seeing Yang Xiong in this state, everyone was incredibly worried and deeply admired him.

Although they had all absorbed God-Bestowed Soul Rings, none of them had pushed themselves as hard as Yang Xiong, nor did anyone possess his level of willpower. Even more so, no one had broken through their limits and their endurance time and time again like Yang Xiong.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden energy surrounding Yang Xiong became even denser, like a giant cocoon. Yang Xiong himself was inside the cocoon, seemingly trying to break through it repeatedly.

...

After a full month, the cocoon around Yang Xiong seemed to have run out of energy and finally began to crack open.

At this moment, Yang Xiong was naked, his entire body's skin was golden, every inch of it like cast copper and forged iron. He looked somewhat like an unshakeable golden giant, and two purple, three black, and three red Soul Rings appeared around him.

Especially when Yang Xiong opened his eyes, they seemed captivating, as if they could see through everything in the world.

The girls nearby let out a few screams. Only then did Yang Xiong snap back from the comfortable sensation, realizing he was completely naked.

Ning Rongrong, her face flushed with embarrassment, quickly took out a set of clothes and helped Yang Xiong cover himself.

Seeing Yang Xiong's eighth Soul Ring, everyone was filled with envy and admiration.

Currently, Yang Xiong was the only one among them who possessed a 100,000-Year Soul Ring, and this one was obtained through a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, meaning it would grant him the most suitable Soul Skill.

Upon learning more, Yang Xiong had spent a full fifty days absorbing his eighth Soul Ring. During this time, Ning Rongrong had basically stayed by his side.

The others took turns keeping watch, and even Dai Mubai's group stayed by Yang Xiong's side.

Furthermore, during these fifty days, no one relaxed. Instead, they all meditated and cultivated, trying their best to improve their strength. After all, they had now truly realized the difficulty of the Sea God's Assessment, and more importantly, they needed to rely on themselves. Perhaps in the future, Yang Xiong wouldn't be able to help them anymore.

Yang Xiong carefully sensed his Soul Power. It had actually reached a terrifying level of eighty-eight.

In fact, Yang Xiong had already reached level eighty almost two years ago. He had reached level eighty during the final stage of the Sea God's Light assessment.

And during these nearly two years, which included nine months of crossing the Ring-Shaped Sea and one year of Tidal Body Tempering, his Soul Power had steadily increased. Coupled with successfully passing three stages of the Sea God's Assessment, his Soul Power level had increased by a full three levels. Adding the absorption of the God-Bestowed Soul Ring, his Soul Power had reached level eighty-eight.

In comparison, the others' Soul Power levels had increased even more. Oscar and Ning Rongrong had both reached the bottleneck of level eighty. Since they hadn't absorbed a Soul Ring, their specific levels were currently unknown.

Yang Wei and Qin Shuang had reached level seventy-nine and seventy-six respectively. Both were now top-tier Soul Saints, and among Soul Saints, they were definitely among the strongest in terms of combat power.

Even Feng Xiaotian had just reached level eighty. However, this breakthrough was due to the one level of Soul Power rewarded from the Tidal Body Tempering. In terms of Soul Power increase alone, he was one of the ones who improved the most among Yang Xiong's eight, almost catching up to Oscar and Ning Rongrong.

As for Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er, their Soul Power levels also increased significantly, but they had already reached level seventy during the Sea God's second assessment. However, they hadn't absorbed a Soul Ring yet, so their specific Soul Power levels were unclear.

This meant that among the entire team, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu all needed Soul Rings. Even Big Brother Yang Wei was already at level seventy-nine. If he passed the fourth assessment, he would also need a Soul Ring soon.

In comparison, Tang San and his group's Soul Power levels were also quite good. Tang San had reached level seventy-seven, and Xiao Wu had reached level seventy-six.

However, Tang San was far behind his original counterpart. Due to the difference in Soul Bones and the secondary awakening of his Martial Soul, his seventh Soul Ring was just an ordinary ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. It was even uncertain if his eighth Soul Ring could be a 100,000-year Soul Ring. This significantly reduced the effect of Tidal Body Tempering; at the very least, he couldn't endure it as long as in the original story.

As for the other four, Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng had reached level seventy and were also currently lacking Soul Rings.

Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan were currently at level sixty-seven and sixty-nine respectively, also very close to their seventh Soul Rings.

At this moment, a hint of doubt appeared in Yang Xiong's eyes. According to the original story, after completing the assessment, everyone would be granted an additional God-Bestowed Soul Ring. However, this was all based on the premise of Tang San being the Sea God's successor.

Currently, none of Yang Xiong's group had obtained the Sea God Nine Trials. He wondered if the Sea God would reward them with more God-Bestowed Soul Rings in the future.

And based on the Soul Power levels of Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and the others, if they didn't obtain Soul Rings, it would likely be difficult to pass the Sea God Fifth Trial.

Yang Xiong thought carefully for a while before speaking: "For now, let's first find a way to help Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu obtain Soul Rings. Then we'll figure out how to complete the fourth trial. At the same time, everyone should rest for a while. After continuously passing the assessments, everyone's nerves are too tense. It's best to relax."

Hearing Yang Xiong's words, everyone went to Seahorse City to rest.

Yang Xiong carefully observed his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, especially this blood-red eighth Soul Ring. Not only did it look extremely oppressive, but if he carefully probed it with his spiritual power, he found that this Soul Ring had a full eight golden patterns.

At this moment, Yang Xiong was overjoyed. The age limit of his eighth Soul Ring had reached 800,000 years, which meant his ninth Soul Ring should be able to absorb a million-year-level Soul Beast.

And after obtaining the eighth Soul Ring, he also gained two excellent Soul Skills.

Eighth Soul Ring Skill One: Asura God's Wrath. Using all the strength in his body, he unleashes a full-power strike forward. The power of this strike can be increased countless times, directly shattering the air and attacking the enemy from a distance. It possesses Asura Slaughter Aura, ignoring the enemy's defense and capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Eighth Soul Ring Skill Two: Asura Blood Prison. When using this Soul Skill, it's as if an Asura possesses him. A massive blood-red world forms within several hundred meters around him. In this world, he is the master. The enemy's spiritual power and Soul Power are halved, while his various abilities are doubled. Any enemy is at his mercy. Unless their spiritual power is stronger than his, it's impossible to break through.

When Yang Xiong saw these two Soul Skills, he was completely stunned. The move Asura God's Wrath was a purely power-type attack skill, also possessing a slaughter aura. It could be said to maximize his strength, capable of both close combat and ranged attacks, basically pushing the characteristics of his Martial Soul to the extreme.

And the move Asura Blood Prison was a spiritual skill, also having the characteristics of a domain-type skill, and even somewhat resembling a control-type skill. Its power was incredibly formidable, especially its lethality towards enemies.

More importantly, his domain seemed to be gradually changing. He seemed to have reached the peak of the Slaughter Domain. If he used Asura Blood Prison, he was implicitly close to touching the threshold of the legendary Asura Domain, which was a truly divine domain.

At this moment, Yang Xiong also truly paid attention to the content of the next assessment.

"Top Eight Trials Fourth Trial, Peak Whale Shark Battle. Assist the Devil Soul Great White Shark Clan in repelling the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Clan. Kill at least half of the Evil Spirit Tiger Whales and severely injure the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King."

Yang Xiong was also surprised to see the content of this assessment. Logically speaking, with the strength of his group and the Devil Soul Great White Shark Clan, even severely injuring the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Clan shouldn't be too difficult. How could the assessment seem much simpler than in the original story, and there was no requirement to kill the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King?

At this moment, Yang Xiong was suspicious. Could it be that the Sea God really intended to leave the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale Clan for his successor? Unfortunately, neither he nor Tang San had obtained the Sea God Nine Trials. It seemed the Sea God wanted to spare the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale clan.

Yang Xiong didn't dwell on it too much and simply followed Ning Rongrong and the others to leisurely enjoy themselves in Seahorse City.

Everyone changed into exceptionally casual seaside attire, each looking like they had a touch of exotic charm.

The girls all wore dresses from Sea God Island, their good figures fully displayed, making Feng Xiaotian and the others' eyes go straight.

The girls all turned into shopping fanatics. After cultivating for a full three years, they finally had a rare chance to relax and went on a shopping spree in Seahorse City, almost wanting to buy everything in the city.

Yang Xiong, along with Oscar and Big Brother Yang Wei, also changed into Sea God Island attire, wearing sunglasses, tasting fine wine by the sea, sunbathing, and enjoying the sea breeze.

That guy Feng Xiaotian, seeing that he had free time, followed Huo Wu like a husky, always ready to be ordered around, truly a loyal lickspittle, just missing a tail to wag.

Even Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng joined Yang Xiong's leisurely group, eating barbecue and enjoying the sea breeze.

And Tang San seemed to have been stimulated a bit. Even during leisure time, he was diligently cultivating alone, only occasionally coming out with Xiao Wu for a stroll.

This was everyone's basic routine during the day. In the evening, they all had their own lives.

Yang Xiong always stayed alone with Ning Rongrong in their room, exchanging feelings. This was a rare time alone together after three years. It seemed that because they hadn't been together for a long time, their feelings grew even warmer and more intense.
