The hundred thousand year spirit ring was an extremely huge temptation for them, representing a huge improvement in strength, making them more determined to pass the first test.

“Pass the Light of the Sea God, and you will get a 100,000-year spirit ring; if you fail, you will be expelled from the Tang Sect!” Jiang Han’s voice rang out again. He kept emphasizing this rule, hoping that his disciples would turn the pressure into motivation and go all out to meet the challenge.

“Master, please believe in us!” The seven shouted in unison. Their voices were loud and firm, echoing over the square, demonstrating their determination to never back down and their strong desire for success.

Looking at his seven motivated disciples, Jiang Han smiled knowingly. He understood the principle of giving a candy after a beating. He knew that at this moment, the disciples had been completely aroused by the temptation of the 100,000-year spirit ring, and the next step depended on their own efforts.

“I’ll leave them to you. I’ll go to the sea to look for a hundred thousand year soul beast.” After saying that, Jiang Han glanced at Poseidon, turned around and flew to the sea. He thought that since his disciples had to pass the test to obtain a hundred thousand year soul ring, he couldn’t sit idle. He went to the sea to look for it. Maybe he could get something in advance, so that he could make better preparations for his disciples.

“I don’t have time to look after them.” Looking at Jiang Han’s receding back, Poseidon shrugged and flew to the sea, letting Tang San and the other seven climb the stairs on their own. He felt that this was a test for them, and that only by relying on their own strength to overcome difficulties could they truly grow, so he left with peace of mind.

In the following time, the only sounds left in this huge square were bang, bang, bang, bang. The sounds came one after another, lasting for a long time, like a symphony full of suffering and tenacity, playing the unyielding and struggle of Tang San and his seven companions in this first test of the Sea God.

The next morning.

In the square, on one of the seven suspended steps, golden light suddenly gathered and sent a dazzling beam of light towards the sky. The beam of light was like the light of dawn, breaking through the darkness and illuminating the entire square, appearing particularly eye-catching and spectacular.

There was a loud bang, and the golden light dissipated.

At this moment, Xiao Wu’s body was stained with blood, like a bloody person standing on the 99th step, her body trembling, her breath intermittent. Her small body has endured tremendous pain and pressure, but she has persisted until now with her tenacious perseverance, and is finally about to usher in the dawn of victory.

“Xiao Wu, your master congratulates you on becoming the first person to complete the first test.” Just as Xiao Wu was about to fall, a giant purple metal hand lifted her up, and then Jiang Han and Poseidon emerged from the void. They appeared in time to witness Xiao Wu’s hard-earned victory, and their eyes were filled with relief and appreciation.

A ray of blue light burst out from Poseidon’s palm and poured onto Xiao Wu’s body. The blue light was like a warm stream of water, slowly flowing through Xiao Wu’s body. Under the healing effect of the blue light, the blood on Xiao Wu’s body quickly dissipated, and the wounds that were covered with wounds also healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The breath that was originally extremely weak gradually recovered and became stronger.

At the same time, a red soul ring representing 100,000 years condensed on Xiao Wu’s body. The red soul ring exuded a powerful and mysterious aura, slowly rotating around Xiao Wu, as if it was the best reward for her bravery and perseverance in successfully passing the first test, and it also made her strength a qualitative leap, opening a new chapter of growth.

“Master, has my disciple passed?” Xiao Wu’s breathing stabilized and her gaze fell on Jiang Han. Her eyes were full of expectation and uneasiness. She hoped to get a positive answer, but was also worried that this hard-earned result did not meet the passing criteria.

“Isn’t your third soul ring the best proof?” Jiang Han smiled and pointed at the red soul ring that had formed on Xiao Wu’s body. The red soul ring exuded a powerful and mysterious aura, slowly rotating around Xiao Wu, showing the glory of her successful passing of the assessment, and also representing a major leap in her strength.

At this moment, Xiao Wu’s soul power has reached level 31, and her third soul ring is a hundred thousand year soul ring. With the blessing of this hundred thousand year soul ring, Xiao Wu stands out among the crowd, and her strength has been greatly improved.

Apart from Tang San and Dai Mubai, among the remaining five people, Xiao Wu’s soul power is not the highest, but because her body is a hundred thousand years old, she still has an advantage, so she became the first person to reach the 99th step. With her unique advantages and tenacious perseverance, she overcame many difficulties and took the lead in completing this difficult first test, becoming a role model for everyone to envy and learn from.

“Xiao Wu has already passed, so we must continue to work hard and not slack off.”

Looking at the red soul ring on Xiao Wu’s body, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar and others had a touch of envy in their eyes. They knew very well how precious and powerful this 100,000-year soul ring was. They were happy for Xiao Wu and secretly encouraged themselves to work harder. Then they continued to endure the pressure on their bodies and took another step forward. Each step they took was extremely difficult, but they were extremely firm. With the determination to never give up, they worked hard to climb towards success.

Under the bombardment again and again, Dai Mubai and others suffered more and more injuries, but because they broke through their limits again and again, they climbed higher and higher steps, and their soul power was growing steadily without them noticing. Every time they were blown away by the power on the steps, every time they were injured, it became a stepping stone for their growth, allowing them to continue to become stronger in this cruel test.

“what–“

Two hours later, Ma Hongjun roared and stepped onto the last step. The red ring on his body lit up, the fluctuation of his soul power suddenly increased, and a hot flame spewed out of his mouth, becoming the second person to pass the first test. His excited roar seemed to announce his victory, and also inspired his companions who were still working hard, letting everyone see that the hope of success was right in front of them, and they could achieve it as long as they persisted.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Oscar success!
Zhu Zhuqing succeeded!
Ning Rongrong succeeded!
……

Everyone overcame the difficulties one after another and passed this difficult first test. Every time someone succeeded, the lit red soul ring was like a shining star, illuminating the entire square and making the remaining people more motivated.

at dusk.

With a tiger roar, Dai Mubai stepped onto the 108th step. With the appearance of the fourth red soul ring, his aura surged, and he became the sixth person to successfully pass the level. He stood on the steps, majestic and awe-inspiring. The powerful aura showed his improved strength at the moment, and also proved that his efforts along the way were not in vain. “Now only the third brother is left.”

Xiao Wu’s eyes were always on Tang San. Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong and others, after recovering from their injuries, also stood around Tang San’s suspended ladder, waiting quietly. Their eyes were filled with concern and expectation, and they all hoped that Tang San could pass the test smoothly and complete the challenge of this first test together.

Tang San’s left foot was standing on the 99th step, and his right foot was hanging in the air. No matter how he screamed, he could not step onto the 100th step. His face was full of pain and struggle, and his tightly furrowed brows and bulging veins due to exertion showed that he was under tremendous pressure at the moment.

At this moment, Tang San’s clothes were torn, and his entire body was covered with blood beads. The scars were too painful to look at. The wounds seemed to tell of the hardships he had experienced. Blood continued to seep out, staining his body with bloodstains, but he still had no intention of giving up and was still trying hard to break through.

Under the pressure of the Seagod’s Light, Tang San’s body would occasionally turn into a twisted iron mother, and a strange fruit with spirals could be vaguely seen spinning inside his body. The strange changes showed that he had stimulated his own special abilities under this extreme pressure, trying to use this power to fight against the powerful Seagod’s Light.

Bang!
With a loud bang, the Iron Mother that Tang San transformed into shot out and fell heavily to the ground. The huge crash was like a dull thunder, shaking the surrounding ground and raising a cloud of dust. The scene was quite shocking.

“Third brother, are you okay?” Xiao Wu was the first to run to Tang San’s side. Her eyes were full of worry. She carefully checked Tang San’s injuries. Her anxious look showed her concern for Tang San.

“Don’t worry.” Tang San turned back into human form and glanced at the sky-high steps, his eyes showing even more fighting spirit. He knew in his heart that if it weren’t for the ability of the metal fruit, it would be difficult to even reach the 99th step, let alone the 30th step. Fortunately, after being bombarded again and again, in addition to the increase in soul power, he could feel that the degree of development of the fruit ability had also increased. He regarded these setbacks as opportunities for growth, and his fighting spirit became higher and higher, and he was determined to climb the last step.

“Xiao San, let me try how difficult your Seagod’s Light is!” Dai Mubai, who had reached a higher realm, walked towards the suspended steps that Jiang Han was testing with a confident look on his face. He felt that his strength had improved a lot now, and he might be able to help Tang San test the realness of the steps, and he also wanted to challenge this seemingly insurmountable difficulty again.

“I’ll try it too.” Ning Rongrong shouted excitedly and immediately followed Dai Mubai. Her unyielding nature made her unwilling to miss any opportunity to try, even though she knew how difficult the stairs were, she still wanted to bravely give it a try.

However, just as the two were about to step onto the stairs, their faces suddenly changed. Before they could even step foot on the stairs, an invisible force that made them breathless bombarded them. The force was like a surging tide, instantly submerging them, leaving them no time to resist.

Suddenly, the two of them spurted blood and flew backwards. Their bodies drew an awkward arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain, looking extremely miserable.

“This… this…” Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong climbed up from the ground and looked at the black stairs again, their eyes filled with fear. Their original confidence was gone at this moment. The difficulty of the stairs was far beyond their imagination. The invisible pressure alone was already too much for them to bear, let alone continue to climb up.

“Before I could stop you, you guys banged away.” Tang San smiled awkwardly, and then stepped onto the stairs again under everyone’s gaze. His concern and helplessness for his companions were fully revealed, and at the same time, he was more focused on his own challenge, wanting to conquer this last difficulty with his own strength.

“What a monster among monsters!” Dai Mubai couldn’t help but curl his lips as he watched Tang San quickly reach level 99. At present, he was already a level 41 Soul Sect. He thought that he was not far behind Tang San, but now, after comparing them with the Light of the Sea God, the gap was still huge! He admired Tang San’s strength and perseverance, but couldn’t help but sigh that the gap between people was sometimes so obvious.

The third day, early morning.

With a roar, the originally azure sky above Poseidon Island was instantly covered by a layer of black light. The black light was like a thick dark cloud, covering the entire sky tightly, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

In the void, Jiang Han and Poseidon walked out slowly, looking at Tang San on step 108 with satisfaction. They had witnessed Tang San’s hardships and persistence along the way, and now seeing him about to succeed, their eyes were full of satisfaction and admiration, and they were happy that he could overcome such a difficult test.

At this moment, Tang San’s whole body was red. When he used his metal ability, it was no longer a dark gray iron mother, but a pale golden unknown metal. The pale golden metal exuded a unique light, as if it contained endless mysterious power, showing that Tang San had a new understanding and improvement of his own abilities in this constant tempering.

With the addition of the 51-year red spirit ring, his aura was not at level 56, but at level ! This huge improvement was amazing. With his own efforts and talent, Tang San not only passed the test, but also achieved a qualitative leap in strength, standing at a whole new height.

“Yes, all passed the test.”

Jiang Han glanced at Dai Mubai and the other seven in turn, nodded with satisfaction, and finally fixed his gaze on Tang San: “San’er, it’s time to add a spirit ring to your second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. I’ll take you on a journey.” He knew that Tang San had great potential, and now that he had passed the first test, it was time for his second martial soul to grow further, so he planned to take him to find a suitable spirit ring to help him become stronger.

Three hours later.

Poseidon Temple.

“Are you leaving now?” The chief priest Poseidon looked at Jiang Han and asked. There was a hint of reluctance and concern in her eyes. After all, she had been with Jiang Han and the others for such a long time and had developed some feelings for them. Seeing them leaving soon, she could not help but feel a little emotional.

Jiang Han nodded slightly: “I will take them to participate in the Soul Master Competition tomorrow. It’s time for everyone to get to know these seven little guys.” He has his own plan in mind. He wants to use the Soul Master Competition to let his disciples stand out and show their strength and style on this Douluo Continent. (End of this chapter)
