139: Chapter 139 Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo

A few days later.

After everyone had stabilized their surging strength, they began preparing to start the Fifth Trial.

According to the trial requirements, Feng Xiaotian's opponent was Sea Spear Douluo.

Huo Wushuang would face Sea Ghost Douluo.

Shui Binger would challenge Sea Maiden Douluo.

Huo Wu's target was Sea Horse Douluo.

Hu Liena had to face Sea Illusion Douluo.

Shui Yueer and Xie Yue would face Sea Star Douluo.

Among the Seven Sacred Pillars guardians, the strongest was undoubtedly Sea Dragon Douluo, with a Soul Power reaching Rank 95. Coupled with the environmental bonuses, his strength far exceeded those of the same Rank.

Fortunately, none of them had this top-tier expert as their trial opponent.

"Everyone, according to the rules, I can fight the guardians you are meant to challenge first, and you can then immediately step up for the assessment." Ji Xuan's gaze swept over the group.

"However, if we do this, the rewards you ultimately receive might be significantly reduced."

"Brother-in-law, that's possible?"

Shui Yueer's eyes lit up. She was very clear in her heart that as a Spirit Saint, wanting to defeat a Titled Douluo was simply a pipe dream.

"Of course." Ji Xuan smiled faintly.

"Then, Brother-in-law, you must help me." Shui Yueer immediately raised her hand.

"Your Highness, I might also need your help." Hu Liena spoke up right after.

Sea Illusion Douluo was a mental control system Spirit Master. Although she belonged to the same mental system, her Mental Energy and Soul Power were far inferior to the opponent, so she was naturally no match.

"How about you, Xie Yue?" Ji Xuan looked at the conflicted Xie Yue.

"Your Highness, please help me."

Xie Yue had wanted to try challenging it himself, but he was also clear about his own strength; he could not drag down everyone's progress because of himself.

"Fine." Ji Xuan nodded in agreement.

Feng Xiaotian and the others did not ask for Ji Xuan's help. They were already at the Spirit Douluo Realm and all wanted to test their limits. Even if they were truly unable to win, it wouldn't be too late to let Ji Xuan step in then.

"The others can go ahead and try challenging your respective opponents first." Ji Xuan said, "The three of you, come with me."

Ji Xuan brought the three of them, including Shui Yueer, to the Sea Star Sacred Pillar.

He went straight to find Shui Yueer's trial opponent, Sea Star Douluo.

Sea Star Douluo's strength was not the peak among the guardians, but on his home turf, his strength could not be measured by his apparent Rank.

"Ji Xuan, you just finished the Fourth Trial not long ago; are you starting the Fifth Trial so soon?" Sea Star Douluo was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, Your Excellency Sea Star." Ji Xuan nodded slightly, "Please, enlighten me."

"Alright then." Sea Star Douluo said no more and immediately released his Spirit, with nine spirit rings appearing neatly at his feet.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Sea Star Douluo was a control system Spirit Master. Seeing Ji Xuan's two 100,000-year spirit rings, he immediately unleashed his seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul Avatar, as soon as the fight started. Countless thick tentacles instantly swept towards Ji Xuan.

However, Ji Xuan simply stood in mid-air and waved his sword. Amidst the crisscrossing Sword Qi, all the attacking tentacles were severed.

Sea Star Douluo immediately activated his fifth Spirit Ability, Regeneration. The severed tentacles grew back in the blink of an eye and lunged at Ji Xuan once more.

Ji Xuan remained standing in place without moving. Several sharp flashes of Sword Qi pierced through the air, and the newly generated tentacles were once again hacked to pieces.

Sea Star Douluo knew he couldn't control Ji Xuan at all, so he immediately activated his ninth Spirit Ability. The tides of gravity rose and fell, pulling Ji Xuan into his Domain space.

Inside the Domain.

"Break!" Ji Xuan let out a low shout. Golden runes swirled around his body, and the moment the Order Domain unfolded, Sea Star Douluo's Domain collapsed like a bubble.

The instant the Domain shattered, Ji Xuan activated the power of space, and his figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

"Not good!" Sea Star Douluo's heart tightened.

As a control system Spirit Master, once he was approached by an attack system Spirit Master, his situation would become extremely passive.

He sensed the aura coming from behind him and hurriedly turned around, but it was ultimately a step too late.

Ji Xuan struck with his sword. Just as the blade was about to touch Sea Star, he suddenly flipped his wrist, and the body of the sword slammed heavily onto Sea Star Douluo's chest.

A massive force struck, sending Sea Star Douluo flying backward, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ji Xuan did not give him a moment to catch his breath. He activated the power of space repeatedly, his figure flickering constantly in the air as he swatted Sea Star Douluo back and forth.

Finally, Ji Xuan slammed him heavily to the ground with his sword.

The hard ground cracked instantly. Sea Star Douluo lay on the ground, in a sorry state, his breathing chaotic.

Every strike from Ji Xuan was full of force, yet accurately avoided vital points.

"I lost." Sea Star Douluo clutched his chest, struggling to stand up, his face deathly pale.

"You flatter me." Ji Xuan stood with his sword behind his back, then turned to look at the others watching from a distance.

Shui Yueer ran over with a grin: "Brother-in-law, you are truly amazing!"

She then turned to Sea Star Douluo and smiled: "Your Excellency Sea Star, I am going to begin my trial."

"Ah?" Sea Star Douluo was stunned, then suddenly realized.

"You all... really..." Sea Star Douluo was speechless for a moment. What they were doing didn't seem to violate any rules.

"Fine." Sea Star Douluo had no choice but to accept the battle.

Although Shui Yueer only had Rank 76 Soul Power, facing the injured Sea Star Douluo, after a fierce battle, she still managed to win with difficulty.

However, she herself had exhausted her Soul Power and her face was deathly pale.

After all, even if Sea Star Douluo was injured, he was still a genuine Titled Douluo.

Immediately after, Xie Yue stepped forward to challenge him.

This move completely exhausted Sea Star Douluo's temper.

Having no choice, he had to bite the bullet and accept the challenge. Xie Yue's trial ended even faster...

The moment the trial was completed, the Black-level Five Trial marks on their foreheads dissipated, turning into specks of black light that submerged into their bodies.

Because they passed by taking a shortcut, they only received a half-Rank Soul Power reward.

But with the Fifth Trial completely finished, they still received an additional Rank 1 Soul Power and a god-bestowed spirit ring.

After things ended here, Ji Xuan circulated his Power of Order and recovered his own Soul Power in a few moments.

He took Hu Liena and went straight to the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar.

Ji Xuan's current Mental Energy was already far superior to Sea Illusion Douluo's.

Sea Illusion Douluo's Domain and mental attacks, landing on him, could not pose any threat at all.

As soon as Ji Xuan made a move, he used the Order Domain. Sea Illusion Douluo's Domain was instantly crushed and shattered, and his mental sea suffered a violent shock.

Immediately, Sea Illusion Douluo activated his sixth Spirit Ability, Truth-Breaking Avatar, attempting to break through Ji Xuan's Domain.

The result was useless.

Ji Xuan used the same trick again, instantly closing the distance and giving him a sound beating.

After Hu Liena stepped up, she easily passed the trial.

Her Black-level Five Trial was thus completely finished, and she received the same rewards.

On the other side, the trials before the other four sacred pillars had also been decided.

Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were defeated the fastest. Not only was the gap in their Soul Power huge, but their Spirit attributes were also strictly countered by their opponents, and they were forced to concede without lasting long.

Shui Binger's opponent was Sea Maiden Douluo. The opponent's sound wave attacks were tricky and hard to defend against, and she was ultimately injured by the sound waves and defeated in a sorry state.

However, she possessed the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg Spirit Bone, so that minor injury was not worth mentioning to her.

Among the four, Feng Xiaotian held out the longest.

His opponent, Sea Spear Douluo, had extremely strong attack power.

Feng Xiaotian directly gave up on fighting head-on, relying on his extreme speed to constantly maneuver and entangle, his figure flickering unpredictably like a ghost.

In the end, he still couldn't reverse the defeat, but Sea Spear Douluo didn't get the better of him either.

His speed was actually left far behind by Feng Xiaotian, and there were several wind blade wounds on his body, and his breathing was also a bit chaotic.
