Chapter 174 Completing the Second Assessment, Bossi's Fury_2
Translator: 549690339
After witnessing Qin Xiao's maneuvers, even a powerful level-95 Titled Douluo like the Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't help but be convinced.
He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and in his heart, he gave Qin Xiao a silent thumbs-up.
Having an idea is one thing, but being able to execute it is another.
Qin Xiao's strength had completely conquered him.
Upon introspection, he felt that even if he combined the strengths of several other Sea Pillar Guardians, they would still be no match for Qin Xiao.
Under the series of explosions, there was no way they would survive.
Even a level-98 Titled Douluo would probably not make it.
"Perhaps only the Great Priest would be able to withstand Qin Xiao's attack,"
the Sea Dragon Douluo thought to himself.
In no time at all, Qin Xiao had surged up a thousand steps.
At this moment, everyone's hearts couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, truly it was too stunning.
At the same time, they were no longer concerned with Qin Xiao's assessment; instead, they simply hoped he could take it one step further, to stand on the last step.
Without a doubt, this would be a feat, a miracle.
"Ning Rongrong, help me!"
Suddenly, Qin Xiao's roar came out.
Not just on the island, but even those outside the island could hear it clearly.
"It's Qin Xiao, he asked for my help!"
Ning Rongrong was startled.
However, even before her mind could react, her body had instinctively responded.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda appeared in the palm of her hand without her knowing when, and almost simultaneously, four glorious rays of light shot out from the pagoda to land on Qin Xiao.
That's right, four.
In just one year, Ning Rongrong's cultivation level had greatly improved.
After completing the trial of Sea God's Light, her cultivation level had reached level 40, and she had obtained a God-Gifted Spirit Ring.
In contrast, with Ning Rongrong's assistance, Qin Xiao's strength, speed, soul power, and more, all saw a tremendous increase.
Not to mention anything else, his soul power began to skyrocket.
Crack.
In an instant, Qin Xiao felt a crisp sound inside his body.
"My soul power rank has reached level 98!"
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up.
Ning Rongrong certainly did not let him down, allowing him, who had soul power comparable to a level-97 Titled Douluo with the Thunder Emperor Armor's enhancement, to advance even further.
Of course, this was only regarding the level of soul power; in terms of insights, Qin Xiao was leagues behind.
But was that important?
He had the ability of Thunder Titan's self-explosion; just being brash was enough.
"Thunder Titan!"
At this moment, Qin Xiao's soul power surged into his first soul ring like it didn't cost a thing.
Whoosh!
A red light flared up, so brilliant that even the golden Sea God's Light couldn't overshadow it.
"Gurgle."
"So powerful, this kid is really too strong. How many more tricks does he have up his sleeve?"
The Sea Horse Douluo swallowed hard, his expression filled with apprehension.
"I don't know how many tricks he has left, but what I can be sure of is that what he has shown us so far are no longer secrets."
The Sea Dragon Douluo responded gravely.
However, his eyes never strayed from Qin Xiao, as he was afraid to miss any spectacular moments.
"Roar roar roar!"
Suddenly, a series of roars erupted.
A mighty soul skill once again condensed a huge phantom behind Qin Xiao.
This time, the Titan Ape was extraordinarily huge; even under the pressure of Sea God's Light, it exceeded twenty meters in height.
Compared to its stature, Qin Xiao's 1.8-meter-plus height was like an ant.
"Self-destruct!"
Qin Xiao said it matter-of-factly.
He voiced the same word again.
However, this time the power was incomparable to the past.
Boom boom boom.
Thunder blasted above the small island, the sky filled with electric arcs.
Bolts of lightning stretched for miles, like ferocious electric snakes dancing wildly.
The ground shook and the mountains trembled, raising waves tens of meters, even dozens of meters high.
Crack, crack.
It was unimaginable that the Sea God's power-shrouded island would begin to crack like a spider's web.
This illustrated the force of Qin Xiao's blow.
It had reached the limit of Soul Land, even the Sea God's power couldn't protect it,
"This kid, he's not planning to destroy the Holy Land, is he?"
"This attack is too outrageous."
"How do we stop it?"
The numerous Sea Pillar Guardians in the distance were all dumbfounded.
They never expected Qin Xiao to reach this point.
What if he really were to destroy this place—what then?
"Boss, say something."
Everyone looked at the Sea Dragon Douluo, all wanting to stop him.
"What's the rush?"
The Sea Dragon Douluo glanced at them indifferently, "It doesn't matter; the Great Priest will take action."
The Great Priest!
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, as if they had found their mainstay.
Without a doubt, in their hearts, Bossi was the authority, an omnipotent being.
Swish, swish, swish.
Everyone's gazes, now tangible, once again turned to the island.
The difference was that previously they were all watching Qin Xiao, but this time they were eagerly looking at the temple at the top of the island.
The Great Priest Bossi was there.
"Enough!"
Sure enough, a voice that was ethereal, cool, and full of dignity rose, drowning out all the noise and slowly spreading.
Along with it came a circle of blue halos that burst from within the Sea God Temple.
Wherever the halo reached, the thunder halted abruptly, and the waves calmed.
Even the fissures on the island began merging gradually, and the destroyed white marble steps seemed to come to life, healing slowly.
Boom, boom, boom.
The great doors of the Sea God Temple slowly opened.
After opening a gap about three meters wide, they stopped moving.
A figure in a red dress, holding a scepter, and with a dignified expression, Bossi, walked out.
She looked at Qin Xiao who, at some point, had already reached the one thousand and first step, and was silent for a long while.
Yes.
Qin Xiao had succeeded.
By paying a certain price, he had successfully reached the top step.
"Hiss, Qin Xiao, he really did it!"
"Terrifying."
Regarding this outcome, the many Sea Pillar Guardians had complex feelings.
They thought it was within reason, yet also beyond expectation.
Honestly, no one expected Qin Xiao to be so freakishly talented.
And shocked?
Please, the shock in their hearts was like the waves of the sea, never ceasing, one after another, without ever having a moment to break free from their astonishment, okay?
"Yeah, I just knew it, I knew it..."
On the other side, Ning Rongrong jumped up excitedly, her hands fluttering continuously.
She was so happy that she couldn't even get a full sentence out.
"Your Highness, you've never let us down..."
Zhu Zhuqing would not make the same gestures as Ning Rongrong, but the joy in her eyes was nearly overflowing.
Meanwhile, on the island.
"Do you realize if I hadn't intervened just now, what trouble it would have caused?"
Seeing Qin Xiao remain silent for a long time, Bossi couldn't help but ask.
She was somewhat angry. This guy, Qin Xiao, really didn't care about the consequences at all.
If it hadn't been for her intervention, the prohibitions left by the Sea God would have been destroyed, and the island at the center of the Sea Within the Sea would have crumbled and been submerged by the seawater.
The loss would have been tremendous.
In contrast, facing Bossi's questioning, Qin Xiao spread his hands helplessly, "Is this really my fault? I was just trying to complete the examination following the rules. You know, the difficulty of those one thousand one hundred steps meant I had to give it my all."
He asserted that he could not bear the blame for this.
The blame could only be on the Sea God himself for bringing it upon himself.
Why set the challenge so difficultly in the first place?
For example, if doing eight push-ups would complete the first eight challenges, Qin Xiao would have been willing.
Even if it were the ninth challenge requiring push-ups, Qin Xiao would have had no objections.
If that were not possible, a few sit-ups were also an option, right?
This... Bossi frowned.
Qin Xiao bringing in the Sea God had her backed into a corner. This also calmed her relatively agitated emotions considerably.
"Is there a possibility that the Sea God intended for you to acquire sufficient cultivation level and then pass in a relatively mild manner?"
"No chance, I'm just this straightforward in handling affairs," Qin Xiao resolutely shook his head.
As his voice fell, a golden light shrouded Qin Xiao.
Sea God's Power Descends.
At the same time, a grand voice resonated in his mind.
"Second challenge completed."
Bossi didn't speak, just watched silently.
A moment later, Qin Xiao asked, "Could the Great Priest tell me where to find the Devil Soul Great White Shark?"
Hmm? What does he want with the Devil Soul Great White Shark? A bad premonition arose in Bossi's mind.
