133: Chapter 133 Divinely Bestowed Soul Ring

High Priestess Bo Saixi said, "Those who have a Black Grade assessment or higher can receive one god-bestowed spirit ring the first time they reach a Bottleneck."

"The god-bestowed spirit ring does not require hunting a Spirit Beast; it will grant you the most suitable Spirit Ability, and the age of the spirit ring depends on your personal capacity to bear it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the god-bestowed spirit ring slowly flew toward Shui Yueer, hovering above her head.

High Priestess Bo Saixi pointed her finger, and the god-bestowed spirit ring shattered upon the sound, turning into a sky full of golden light that submerged entirely into Shui Yueer's body.

In the next moment, a spirit ring slowly emerged around Shui Yueer.

The spirit ring was initially white, then quickly turned yellow, then to deep purple, and finally became black.

Shui Yueer's fifth spirit ring reached fourteen thousand years, and her Soul Power also Breakthrough to Rank 52.

This scene fell entirely into Ji Xuan's eyes.

From the moment the god-bestowed spirit ring appeared, golden light swirled in his eyes, and his gaze never shifted; he tried to analyze the god-bestowed spirit ring and the process of increasing the spirit ring's age.

But unfortunately, until Shui Yueer finished absorbing the spirit ring, he only saw a general idea.

...

A few days later.

Feng Xiaotian Breakthrough to Rank 60, and after successfully absorbing the god-bestowed spirit ring, his Soul Power reached Rank 62, officially becoming a Spirit Emperor.

And Ji Xuan also immediately Breakthrough to Rank 60; originally two Ranks behind Feng Xiaotian, he had now caught up.

Ji Xuan received a god-bestowed spirit ring from High Priestess Bo Saixi.

With a bang, the spirit ring turned into specks of golden light, slowly merging into his body.

Ji Xuan closed his eyes tightly, focused his mind inward, and exerted all his strength to bear the power of the spirit ring.

As time passed, the color of the spirit ring gradually changed, and the light became increasingly solid, until it approached seventy thousand years.

Fine beads of sweat began to seep from Ji Xuan's forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted...

After a long while.

"Hoo—"

Ji Xuan slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath of turbid Qi.

After the tempering of the Seagod's Light, his physical fitness significantly improved again, his sixth spirit ring reached eighty thousand years, and his Soul Power also Breakthrough to Rank 63.

During this process of absorbing the spirit ring, he had been using Divided Soul to observe the process of the spirit ring's age changing.

Previously, from Shui Yueer and Feng Xiaotian, he had observed it twice, but only saw a few clues.

Now, absorbing it himself, he finally caught a glimpse of the operational laws within.

After the assessment ends, he will try to see if he can increase the spirit ring age himself.

...

A few months later.

Beneath the Sea God Island staircase, everyone gathered, and High Priestess Bo Saixi was also present.

Today is the last day of the Sea God's first assessment.

Feng Xiaotian was the first to stand out; he took a deep breath and climbed rapidly toward the staircase.

His speed was extremely fast, and he soon reached the 100th step.

Only here did he unleash his amplification Spirit Ability, gritting his teeth to continue climbing upward.

Soon, he reached the 107th step.

At this time, he was covered in sweat, his chest heaving violently, his body pressed slightly downward, and taking steps was extremely difficult.

Feng Xiaotian let out an angry roar, using all his strength to lift his left foot with difficulty.

Boom—

Feng Xiaotian successfully stepped onto the 108th step.

The black hexagram pattern on his forehead suddenly lit up, a wisp of black Qi floated out, condensing into a screen of light before him.

The next second, the black light screen suddenly shattered, turning into specks of black light that injected into the center of Feng Xiaotian's eyebrows.

"Black Grade Six Assessment, First Assessment, Transmigration of the Seagod's Light, passed. Reward: Soul Power increased by one Rank."

As that cold voice sounded in his mind, Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power surged instantly, reaching Rank 67.

Afterward, Huo Wushuang also stepped onto the staircase.

His strength was not bad, but under the pressure of the Seagod's Light, he also appeared extremely strained; by the 105th step, he was already nearing his limit.

Just at this moment, a flash of light appeared in Ji Xuan's hand, and countless mysterious runes swirled and flickered.

With a thought from Ji Xuan, those runes flew toward Huo Wushuang, circling around him.

In an instant, the pressure around Huo Wushuang decreased sharply.

He was overjoyed, gritted his teeth to continue climbing, and finally successfully ascended to the 108th step, but he was also completely exhausted.

His Soul Power also Breakthrough one Rank, reaching Rank 63.

Afterward, Huo Wu and Xie Yue stepped onto the staircase one after another, all successfully passing the assessment with Ji Xuan's help, each increasing their Soul Power by one Rank.

Huo Wu is now Rank 64, and Xie Yue is Rank 63.

The next was Shui Binger.

Her assessment Rank was far higher than the others, requiring 136 steps.

With Ji Xuan's full assistance, she finally successfully passed the assessment, but she was also completely exhausted, without even the strength to lift her hand.

The reward for the Top Grade First Assessment had one more item; besides the Soul Power increasing by one Rank, there was also a 500-year increase in Spirit Ability power.

Shui Binger's current Soul Power also reached Rank 64.

Finally, Shui Yueer and Hu Liena also successfully completed the assessment with Ji Xuan's help.

Among them, Shui Yueer was the most miserable; her Soul Power was lower, and the moment she stepped onto the last step, her vision went black, and she passed out directly.

After the assessment ended, Shui Yueer's Soul Power increased to Rank 57, and Hu Liena reached Rank 63.

Hu Liena was extremely grateful; fortunately, she had followed Ji Xuan to Sea God Island, as this place was indeed a treasure land for rapidly improving Soul Power.

Finally, it was Ji Xuan's turn.

He stepped onto the staircase with a calm expression; his assessment requirement was double the Seagod's Light, requiring him to climb 330 steps.

But Ji Xuan had already been able to Cultivate on the 329th step two months ago.

Ji Xuan's speed was extremely fast, his figure like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he stepped onto the 330th step.

But he did not stop; the Power of Order flowed continuously around his body, offsetting that terrifying pressure, and he did not stop his steps, continuing to climb upward.

350 steps... 380 steps... 399 steps.

At this time, fine beads of sweat began to seep from his forehead, but his steps remained steady.

Ji Xuan was still rising steadily.

This scene left High Priestess Bo Saixi and everyone below the stage astonished.

High Priestess Bo Saixi's gaze locked onto the golden thin lines swirling around Ji Xuan, her beautiful eyes full of suspicion and wonder.

What kind of power was that? It could actually resolve part of the pressure of the Seagod's Light?

As a Rank 99 Limit Douluo, a presence that could be called the Peak looking across the entire Douluo Continent, she could not see the clues of this power at all at this moment.

She observed for a long time, and finally could only forcibly suppress the doubts in her heart.

On the staircase.

400 steps... 449... until the 555th step, Ji Xuan finally stopped his steps.

Just at this moment, a cold voice sounded in his mind: "Transmigration of double the Seagod's Light, over-completed. Reward: Sea God affinity increased by 10%."

Ji Xuan felt the changes in his body and inwardly complained; he really did not want this whatever-it-was Sea God affinity, it was not as practical as an increase in Soul Power...
