135: Chapter 135 Ring Sea

Time passed quietly; more than a month slipped by.

A terrifying pressure of Soul Power erupted from the static room in the City Lord's Mansion.

It was evident that the seventh spirit ring around Ji Xuan had transformed into a blood-red color.

Ji Xuan opened his eyes and withdrew the spirit ring: "The hundred-thousand-year spirit ring is a success."

At the same time, his Soul Power soared all the way, finally stabilizing at level 74.

Ji Xuan stood up and pushed open the door, and Shui Binger and the others immediately surrounded him.

Having sensed the fluctuations in Soul Power earlier, they had guessed that Ji Xuan was about to come out of seclusion and had been waiting outside for a long time.

"A-Xuan!" Shui Binger threw herself into his arms, "You've finally come out after such a long time."

"Brother-in-law, how many years is your seventh spirit ring?" Shui Yueer asked curiously.

Shui Binger left Ji Xuan's embrace and looked at him curiously as well.

Feng Xiaotian and the others also cast their gazes in unison.

A faint smile played on the corners of Ji Xuan's lips. Without saying much, he turned and walked toward the open space to the side.

Hum—

A crisp sword hum sounded, and the Sword of Order condensed in his palm.

Immediately after, six spirit rings rose in sequence from beneath his feet. When the seventh blood-red spirit ring descended, the entire room was enveloped in red light, and everyone present held their breath.

"A... a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!" Shui Binger and the other girls covered their mouths and exclaimed.

"This is my first time seeing a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring." Shui Yueer was full of envy, "I wonder if I will be able to possess one in the future."

Hearing this, the others also revealed expressions of longing.

"Rest assured, you will." Ji Xuan said indifferently, not offering further explanation.

As long as everyone's physical fitness could keep up, it would not be difficult for him to help them upgrade all their spirit rings to a hundred thousand years.

Ji Xuan put away his Spirit, ate a meal with everyone, and afterwards, they each returned to Cultivate.

With a little over two months left before the final deadline of the second trial, they had to hurry to improve their strength to pass successfully.

...

Another two months passed.

On the shore of the Ring Sea, Ji Xuan and his group prepared to attempt the second trial today: traversing the Ring Sea.

The opponent for this trial was the Devil Spirit Great White Shark, Xiao Bai, and a group of sea Spirit Beasts.

The rules of the assessment were very clear: one could not kill any sea Spirit Beast, one had to break through the blockade to reach the opposite shore, and one was not allowed to use any Spirit Ability.

However, this rule had no impact on Ji Xuan, as he rarely used Spirit Ability anyway.

Just then, the surface of the Ring Sea surged violently. Xiao Bai leaped out of the water, landing on the shore and transforming into human form.

She glared at Ji Xuan and snorted coldly: "Don't even think about passing my trial this time!"

She still remembered the events of two years ago clearly, and now that this group had fallen into her hands, she would absolutely not show mercy.

"Understood." Ji Xuan's tone was flat, "Let's begin quickly."

"You!" Xiao Bai pointed at him, her Soul Power fluctuating violently, unable to resist making a move.

But just at that moment, the trident mark on the center of Ji Xuan's brow suddenly lit up, and the phantom of the Sea God appeared behind him.

"Lord Sea God!" Xiao Bai was immediately terrified, hurriedly kneeling on both knees with a posture of extreme respect.

Her heart was shaken to the core. How could it be? Was Ji Xuan actually the successor of Lord Sea God?

After the Sea God's phantom dissipated, Xiao Bai slowly stood up, looking at Ji Xuan with complex eyes, and her previous hostility gradually dissipated.

"Even if you are the successor of Lord Sea God, I will not go easy on you."

Having said that, Xiao Bai turned and leaped into the Ring Sea, transforming back into the form of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark.

A moment later, hundreds and thousands of sea Spirit Beasts appeared on the sea surface, densely covering the entire expanse of water.

"Ah! So many!" Shui Yueer exclaimed.

The others' expressions also became grave.

"Everyone, I will hold back Xiao Bai, and the remaining sea Spirit Beasts will be up to you all." Ji Xuan said.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Everyone responded in unison, Battle Intent igniting in their eyes.

Through this year of Cultivate, everyone's strength had greatly improved.

Ji Xuan was now level 75.

Feng Xiaotian had broken through to level 70 and, with Ji Xuan's help, had hunted a 70,000-year Spirit Beast, with his Soul Power now at the Peak of level 72.

Shui Yueer had broken through to level 60 and, also with Ji Xuan's assistance, had obtained a 35,000-year spirit ring, with her Soul Power reaching level 62.

Huo Wu and Shui Binger were both level 68, and Huo Wushuang was level 67.

The progress of Xie Yue and Hu Liena was slightly slower, with their Soul Power having broken through to level 65.

Ji Xuan tapped the ground lightly with his toes, leaping into the air. He condensed his Spirit in his palm and charged straight toward Xiao Bai.

Along the way, many sea Spirit Beasts tried to intercept him, but the attacks they launched were easily avoided by him. Simultaneously, he used Sword Qi to precisely hit their non-vital areas, causing them to lose their fighting ability.

The rules only said one could not kill, not that one could not injure; as long as they remained alive, it was fine.

Feng Xiaotian and the others followed behind. With Ji Xuan opening the path, their progress was very smooth.

Seeing that Ji Xuan was about to rush to Xiao Bai's front.

Xiao Bai directly unleashed her Devil Shark's Teeth, with a large number of black holes condensing and countless shark teeth surging out from within, shooting toward them.

Ji Xuan channeled his Wind Extremity: Sunset Glow, and golden Sword Qi met the shark teeth.

However, the power of this move of his was only at the level of an ordinary Spirit Saint, and Xiao Bai was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast with powerful strength. The Sword Qi was instantly dispersed, and the shark teeth continued to attack the group.

"Stand behind me." As soon as Ji Xuan finished speaking, everyone immediately stood in a row.

The Spirit Bone in his left leg lit up, and the Paragon Golden Body was activated, blocking the attack of the shark teeth.

"You all go first." As soon as the Paragon Golden Body disappeared, Ji Xuan charged directly at Xiao Bai, and the group behind him hurriedly bypassed to the sides.

Feng Xiaotian condensed wings behind his back, constantly condensing wind blades in the air to attack the sea Spirit Beasts while nimbly dodging.

Shui Binger would occasionally freeze the sea surface, providing a foothold for those who could not fly.

The group cooperated with each other, advancing toward the opposite shore step by step.

Xiao Bai ignored the others, staring at the charging Ji Xuan, and released a mental attack, Despair Light Wave.

In her view, as long as she dealt with the most troublesome Ji Xuan, the remaining people would be nothing to fear.

Just as the Despair Light Wave was about to touch Ji Xuan, his thoughts shifted slightly, and a long sword condensed from Mental Energy suddenly appeared.

The sword moved with his will, sweeping out while carrying the Power of Order, and the Despair Light Wave instantly disintegrated.

The offensive did not stop. Thunder roared above Ji Xuan's head, and the power of thunder gathered crazily, condensing into a giant thunder sword in an instant.

The giant sword slashed down with a boom, and the biting thunder- Gang tore through the air, bringing with it a shrill sonic boom.

Xiao Bai could not dodge in time and was fiercely struck by the giant sword, her figure smashing into the water.

The violent power of thunder swept out instantly, and the countless sea Spirit Beasts around them stiffened upon contact, flipping onto the water surface with their whole bodies paralyzed.

As for Xiao Bai, she merely shuddered, her movements lagging for a moment, before she swung her fish tail violently and rushed toward the water surface.

But when she rushed out of the water, she found that Ji Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

In the distance, several Flying Swords were speeding toward the opposite shore.

Xiao Bai immediately channeled her Soul Power with all her might to pursue, seeing that the distance between the two sides was constantly shrinking... the shore was already close at hand.

Just at this moment, Ji Xuan controlled the Flying Swords to continue escorting the others forward, while he himself stopped in mid-air, blocking Xiao Bai's path.

Xiao Bai let out an angry roar, her fish tail slapping the water, and her figure leaped out of the water like an arrow from a bowstring, attacking Ji Xuan.

But Ji Xuan had no intention of engaging in a protracted battle. Glancing out of the corner of his eye to see that the group behind him had already set foot on the opposite shore, the corners of his mouth curled into a playful arc.

"Bye-bye, I don't have time to play with you."

As the words fell, his figure transformed into a phantom again, Teleportation was activated, and the moment Xiao Bai's attack landed, he had already vanished from the spot.

Even though Xiao Bai's speed was very fast, she ultimately could not keep up with the pace of spatial jumping.

With only a few breaths of time, Ji Xuan flashed several times in succession and landed steadily on the opposite shore.
