Sea Dragon Douluo asked, "What abilities does the Ox Talisman possess?"
Zi Zhenzhu grinned and said, "Boundless strength!"
"Oh, immense strength!" Sea Dragon Douluo paused, then his pupils suddenly widened, and he exclaimed in astonishment with a fearful tone, "What? Immense strength?"
"Yes, senior." Zi Zhenzhu slowly approached Sea Dragon Douluo. The figure of a sea serpent appeared behind her.
The battle between dragons and snakes has a long history. When their martial spirits meet, they roar at each other.
Each time Zi Zhenzhu took a step forward, a spirit ring would fall from above her head. In the end, there were seven spirit rings in total. The colors of the spirit rings, from the inside out, were yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and brilliant gold.
"Golden!"
Sea Dragon Douluo narrowed his eyes slightly.
A spirit ring with a lifespan of 100,000 years is already incredibly powerful, let alone a brilliant gold spirit ring.
Soul rings can increase a Soul Master's Martial Soul attributes.
One year of experience increases a Soul Master's attribute by one point, and ten years of experience increases a Soul Master's attribute by ten points.
The million-year-limited soul ring adds a million points to Zi Zhenzhu's soul master attributes.
"Hiss~"
Sea Dragon Douluo gasped.
This is a terrifying number.
Despite the fact that Zi Zhenzhu's Soul Master level is lower than Sea Dragon Douluo's, her seventh Soul Ring alone is enough to give her a significant advantage over Sea Dragon Douluo.
"Your Majesty, let the battle begin!"
Zi Zhenzhu directly used her Martial Soul True Form, transforming into a giant sea viper over a hundred meters long.
The sea viper raised its tail and slashed down at the sea dragon douluo.
Its tail was covered with a yellow light that symbolized the power of the earth.
The Sea Dragon Douluo unleashed his Dragon Tail Sweep in response to the Zi Zhenzhu with the same move.
"Bang!"
When the two touched, the ground beneath the sea dragon sank. The sea dragon's tail visibly trembled slightly.
Clearly, although Sea Dragon Douluo was not visibly injured in the previous exchange, he was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
Both sides possessed sea spirit beasts as their martial souls. Originally, the sea viper was weaker than the sea dragon, but with the amplification of the bull talisman, the difference in power completely reversed!
The Zi Zhenzhu's test consists of nine golden trials. The fifth trial requires completing all challenges within thirty-six hours, starting with the challenge against the first Holy Pillar Guardian. Defeating all seven Holy Pillar Guardians is the only way to pass.
Previously, Zi Zhenzhu had defeated the other six guardians of the Holy Lord.
When fighting against the Sea Witch Douluo who can play the flute, Tuoba Yan lent Zi Zhenzhu a chicken talisman with the attribute of mental power.
When facing the powerful Sea Spear Douluo, Tuoba Yan lent Zi Zhenzhu a rabbit-shaped talisman. Speed is the ultimate weapon. It was fast enough to dodge Sea Spear Douluo's attacks and even counterattack.
When fighting against Starfish Douluo, Tuoba Yan lent Zi Zhenzhu a Dragon Talisman. This talisman, manipulated with flames, destroyed all of Starfish Douluo's control-type soul skills.
When fighting against Haihuan Douluo, the talisman that Tuoba Yan lent to Zi Zhenzhu was also a chicken talisman.
Defeating Seahorse Douluo and Sea Ghost Douluo was much simpler; all it took was lending them the Zi Zhenzhu Horse Talisman to easily defeat the two titled Douluos.
"Bang!"
The sounds of a physical battle between a sea dragon and a sea viper could be heard continuously from the sky.
The sounds were deafening, each punch landing with a resounding impact. The sea dragon was almost always positioned below. Whenever the sea dragon tried to grab or entangle the sea viper, the viper would unleash a burst of yellow light, forcefully breaking free from its grasp and control.
"boom!"
A loud bang followed.
The sea dragon crashed from the sky to the ground, leaving a huge dragon-shaped crater. A flash of light, and the sea dragon vanished, revealing a bruised and battered Sea Dragon Douluo in the crater.
Zi Zhenzhu also retracted her Martial Soul True Form, walked to the edge of the pit, and looked down at the Sea Dragon Douluo inside.
The Sea Dragon Douluo's expression gradually calmed down, and he said to Zi Zhenzhu, "You won!"
Zi Zhenzhu said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. If you had used your full strength, the outcome would have been uncertain!"
An assessment is still an assessment; you can't beat someone to death.
Zi Zhenzhu is the examiner, the successor chosen by the Sea God. Sea Dragon Douluo is a follower of the Sea God, so why would he fight Zi Zhenzhu to the death?
A titled Douluo is definitely a titled Douluo. Even if Zi Zhenzhu possesses the immense strength of the Ox Talisman, if she were to truly fight Sea Dragon Douluo to the death, Zi Zhenzhu might not gain the upper hand, and might even be killed by Sea Dragon Douluo.
Do you really think that the strongest Title Douluo on Seagod Island is only limited to this?
Sea Dragon Douluo shook his head and said, "Even in a life-or-death battle, our chances of winning are 60/40. Although you haven't reached the level of a Titled Douluo, your seventh million-year-old spirit ring and your god-like... talismans will pose a huge threat to me. Killing you won't be easy. Losing is losing, there's nothing to be dissatisfied about. Your talismans have opened my eyes. In terms of pure strength, the Sea Viper can actually surpass my Sea Dragon!"
As they were talking, Hailong Douluo emerged from the bottom of the pit and looked at Tuoba Yan, the owner of the talisman.
Sea Dragon Douluo continued, "What are your talismans? Are they divine gifts?"
Tuoba Yan said, "The talismans come from my martial soul. Every time I obtain a soul ring, I can obtain a talisman corresponding to a soul beast. My martial soul has a total of twelve slots, which means I can obtain twelve different talismans. As for whether it is a gift from the gods, I cannot answer your question. I don't know how to define it either. Some people say that the power it possesses is divine power!"
"Possessing the power of a god, that is a gift from the gods." Sea Dragon Douluo pointed to the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar on the ring-shaped sea and said, "Now that you have passed the Sea God's test, I will tell you a secret. The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar that I guard is also a gift from the gods, a divine object left behind by Lord Sea God!"
Tuoba Yan gazed into the distance.
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar was covered in obscure and incomprehensible runes. A power not belonging to soul force permeated it. That power was very similar to the light of the Sea God. It must be the divine power left behind by the Sea God.
So how did Tuoba Yan manage to obtain the divine gift?
Tuoba Yan felt that perhaps the Holy Lord was originally a "god".
In the adventures of Chen Long, the Holy Lord is a fire demon.
In the universe of Douluo Continent, there are no gods of evil or justice. Evil and justice are merely the essential "elements" that exist in the world. Evil is committed by humans and gods, and has nothing to do with the energy possessed by humans and gods.
If the heart is not upright, it becomes evil.
In the Douluo God Realm, the God of Evil and the God of Destruction are supreme gods revered by both gods and humans.
In the world of gods on Earth, the Plague God is also a righteous deity with a proper divine position.
Tuoba Yan felt that since he possessed divine objects such as talismans, perhaps... his Holy Lord was originally a deity in the Douluo Star system.
The secrets about the Holy Lord's Martial Soul may be revealed when he ascends to the God Realm.
