Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "No need to thank me, we are all part of the Spirit Hall!"
For the next period of time, everyone continued climbing Mount Bo Saixi.
On the last day of the assessment, Shui Bing'er quickly climbed over 108 steps.
In order to maximize the benefits of the assessment, Tuoba Yan and his group always chose to attempt the assessment on the last day.
Cultivating in the Light of the Bo Saixi is far more effective in enhancing soul power than in the Martial Soul Mimicry Training Ground.
However, once the soul power level breaks through to level 40, the Martial Soul Mimicry Training Ground no longer has a significant effect on improving the soul power of a soul master.
Actually, the Martial Soul Mimicry Training Ground only has a significant training effect on Soul Masters of Soul Venerable rank and below.
When the soul power level reaches level 35 or above, progress becomes slow.
Once you reach the fourth-ring Soul Master realm, the effect of the Martial Soul Simulation Training Ground on improving a Soul Master's Soul Power is not as good as going out to train on your own.
This is a key reason why major Soul Master academies choose to allow Soul Masters to graduate at level 30. Shrek Academy is an example.
Because staying in the academy wouldn't significantly improve their soul power.
Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth and refused to make a sound.
But her body trembled continuously under the pressure of the Sea God's Light.
Tuoba Yan wanted to use his soul skill to protect her, and even temporarily lent Shui Bing'er the dog talisman and horse talisman.
However, this will only affect the reward that Shui Bing'er ultimately receives.
Shui Bing'er's martial soul is the Ice Phoenix, and she continues to climb upwards. She is far stronger than Tuoba Yan had imagined.
Thanks to Tuoba Yan, Shui Bing'er's physical body was strengthened by whale glue, immortal herbs, and other things.
One hundred and thirty-two.
Shui Bing'er stood beside Tuoba Yan, her face covered in sweat.
Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "Let's go together!"
Compared to Shui Bing'er, Tuoba Yan had it much easier. In addition to possessing twin martial souls, his soul ring configuration was also far superior to that of ordinary people.
To maximize the reward, Tuoba Yan deliberately avoided using the power of the talisman.
If he wanted to, he was confident that he could climb more than five hundred steps after using the talisman.
Tuoba Yan reached out his hand to Shui Bing'er. Shui Bing'er placed her hand in Tuoba Yan's hand.
"Together," Shui Bing'er said.
Tuoba Yan lifted his foot and stepped onto the 133 steps.
"Thump!"
As Tuoba Yan and Shui Bing'er stepped onto the final steps of the ruins, the red runes between their brows lit up.
A beam of light burst forth from above, then enveloped their entire bodies. A voice echoed in Tuoba Yan's mind.
"The first of the top seven trials, traversing the enhanced Sea God's Light, has been passed. Without relying on talismans, martial souls, or soul bones, the test was completed exceptionally well solely through physical strength. Reward: Soul Power increased by two levels. Soul Ring skill power increased by one thousand years!"
Compared to others, Tuoba Yan's test not only increases his soul power but also extends the age of his soul rings.
At first glance, a thousand-year increase in the duration of a soul skill might not seem significant. However, this amplification effect is permanent, and it increases the duration of all soul rings by a thousand years.
Tuoba Yan possesses eight spirit rings, each with an increased lifespan of one thousand years, resulting in a total increase of eight thousand years in the lifespan of the spirit rings.
For every year that a Soul Ring increases, the Soul Master's attributes increase by one point.
The eight thousand-year limit corresponds to an increase of eight thousand points in the fire attribute of the Holy Lord's Martial Soul.
The benefits are self-evident.
Tuoba Yan closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, just in time to see Shui Bing'er open her eyes after finishing comprehending the content of the second test.
Tuoba Yan asked, "What reward did you receive?"
Shui Bing'er exclaimed happily, "My lifespan has increased by a thousand years, and my soul power has increased by two levels! What about you?"
Tuoba Yan laughed and said, "Same as you."
Shui Bing'er said, "Brother Tuoba, your guess is correct. The more difficult the test you make, the greater the reward you will receive upon completion!"
In the original storyline, Ning Rongrong also obtained the top-tier Seven Trials. When she completed the first trial with her own assistance and the help of Tang San's Blue Silver Domain, her soul power level increased by one level and the age of her soul rings increased by five hundred years.
Unlike Shui Bing'er and Tuoba Yan, they proactively increased the difficulty of the assessment, and their rewards were double those of Ning Rongrong's.
Tuoba Yan looked up at the steps leading up to the top.
The test that Zi Zhenzhu underwent was the Nine Trials of the Bo Saixi.
She needs to climb 333 steps.
Tuoba Yan had already lent the talisman to Zi Zhenzhu. Watching Zi Zhenzhu struggle to climb the steps, relying on herself, he whispered, "I hope she won't need my talisman! Bing'er, I guided you, and you've gained such benefits; shouldn't you reward me?"
Shui Bing'er paused for a moment, then tiptoed and quickly gave Tuoba Yan a kiss on the cheek.
Tuoba Yan touched his cheek and chuckled mischievously, "That's it?"
Tuoba Yan tilted his head.
Shui Bing'er had already started her descent down the mountain.
Tuoba Yan shook his head slightly and said, "What a clever young lady!"
Clearly, Shui Bing'er knew that Tuoba Yan was up to no good again, so she went downstairs first.
As Tuoba Yan arrived at the foot of the mountain, the others also completed their assessments and waited for them at the foot of the mountain.
Xie Yue sincerely admired Tuoba Yan—no, he worshipped Tuoba Yan.
Since Xie Yue followed Tuoba Yan, he first obtained the Killing God Domain, then obtained the 100,000-year-old soul ring ranked first on the Soul Master Dream Ranking, and now his soul power level has increased by two levels.
Besides instructing Shui Bing'er, Tuoba Yan also guided the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. None of them used their spirits; for the past year, they ate, drank, relieved themselves, and slept all within the Light of the Bo Saixi.
The physical body has become accustomed to the pressure of the Sea God's Light.
That's what cultivation is all about.
Once it becomes a habit, it's hard to break.
On the final day of their assessment, all of them, like Tuoba Yan, did not use any soul skills, including Xu Yu's support-type soul skills. They didn't even use their martial souls. They completed the assessment solely with their physical bodies.
Each of them increased their soul power level by two levels.
What does it mean to instantly increase one's soul power by two levels?
Their minimum cultivation level would be a sixth-ring Soul Emperor.
A two-level increase in soul power means they have skipped at least three years of arduous training that others would otherwise endure.
In addition to gaining two levels of soul power from completing the assessment, their soul power also greatly improved through cultivation in the Light of the Bo Saixi.
The usually aloof Xie Yue smiled, a rare sight, and said, "Good morning, Tuoba Yan!"
The polite and courteous words, coming from the mouth of Xie Yue who resembled an assassin, made everyone feel strange.
Zhang Ping said jokingly, "Xie Yue, are you kneeling?"
Xie Yue wasn't angry. He said, "The weak submit to the strong; it's the natural order. We all know how powerful Tuoba Yan is. Don't laugh at me; Tuoba Yan is worthy of my kneeling!"vvjbmn
