Book of Tang in Douluo Continent

"Tsk, it's better to come early than to come late. If this second test had been taken some time in advance, I'm afraid it would be a bit troublesome. But now, it's easy, as long as you have the skills."

Thinking of the skill of his eighth soul ring, Tang Shu felt relieved and continued to stuff food into his mouth. There was no food in the world, no matter what, he had to fill his stomach first.

Suddenly, Tang Shu remembered something, turned to look at Xiao Wu, and asked curiously: "By the way, Xiao Wu, what's the reward for your top test? Has the life of the soul ring been increased?"

Xiao Wu shook his head: "No, it only rewards one level of soul power, but here is a reminder: the other rewards are stacked. Maybe after completing all the assessments, there will be a reward for increasing the number of years."

"When the soul power is increased by one level, the other rewards are stacked?" Tang Shu frowned: "How can this reward be settled in batches?"

This was the first time he heard that the rewards for the divine assessment could be deferred, which was not straightforward at all.

"It would be nice to be rewarded with first-level soul power." Ma Hongjun couldn't help but said:

"Third brother's ninth test, he didn't even have first-level soul power, so he was given 5.00% Poseidon affinity, a total of only 5.00%. I don't know what it was for, but it seems completely useless."

Tang Shu glanced at him but said nothing.

The rewards from this thing are much richer than soul power or soul ring years.

Tang San said calmly: "No matter what the reward is, it actually doesn't matter. After coming here, our strength has made a qualitative leap. This is already the best reward."

"But correspondingly, the risk is not small." Dai Mubai said: "You and Xiaowu really frightened us at the last moment of the first test."

Everyone: "..."

Xiao Wu said dejectedly: "Boss Dai is right, the risk is indeed not small. This time, if it hadn't been for the great efforts of my second brother, I wouldn't have been able to pass."

In the time-travel and Poseidon's Light tests, she was not only held back, but she also made no contribution during the test. It was all Tang Shu Tang San's help who sent her to the third floor of 330 with all her beard and tail intact.

This was a big blow to Xiao Wu, who had always been competitive.

Zhu Zhuqing glared at Dai Mubai fiercely. This guy really didn't know how to open a pot. She took Xiao Wu's hand and comforted him: "Didn't Senior Bo Saixi say that we should remember the importance of the team? We should help each other during the assessment.”

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have forgotten that Tang Shu's second test had nothing to do with the team and required him to fight alone.

Not only her, but several other people seemed to have forgotten as well. Everyone nodded in unison, and Ning Rongrong even smiled: "Yes, wasn't I sent up by Abao as well?"

As she said that, she looked at Tang Shu and changed the subject: "Abao, I haven't asked you yet, how is your eighth spirit ring? Do you want to demonstrate it now? We are all curious about the output of 30-year spirit rings. His soul skills are so terrifying."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's interest soared, and they looked at Tang Shu with burning eyes, the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

In the soul master world, it is taboo to ask a soul master about his soul skills rashly, but for the Shrek Eight Monsters, this is naturally not a problem.

But Tang Shu shook his head, pointed at the ring sea with his eyes, and refused:

"My eighth soul ring skill is indeed pretty good, but I can't tell you yet. I'll tell you later after I pass the second test."

After receiving the hint from Tang Shu, everyone understood.

It's not a secret that Xiaobai is lurking in the Ring Sea. She has even fought against them for assessments in the past few days. With her cultivation and strength, there is indeed a risk of leaking information if she eavesdrops on others' speeches.

In Tang Shu's second test, to challenge her and defeat her, the eighth soul skill is absolutely crucial and cannot be exposed in advance.

Tang San asked: "Xiao Shu, do you want to try fighting Xiao Bai first? We have tried it these past few days and have a new understanding of the strength of the 10-year-old sea soul beast."

"I won't go." Tang Shu refused again and said, "I plan to rest for a while and digest the eighth soul ring."

His face was forced to remain calm, but Tang Shu's heart sank to the bottom of his heart.

Although the eighth soul ring was successfully absorbed, it still stretched the body to its limit.

The eighth soul ring stopped at 30 years, not because he could no longer bear the pressure of the soul ring, but because his body collapsed first under the increase in attributes.

It sounds complicated, but it’s actually easy to understand.

This is like using a bucket to hold water. Every time he absorbs a soul ring or a soul bone, the water in the bucket will increase by one point and the capacity of the bucket will increase by one point.

At the same time, the material of the barrel will also be strengthened by soul rings and soul bones.

The current situation in Tang Shu is that the water in the bucket is not yet full.

However, the barrel has been strengthened again and again, and has been strengthened to the limit that the material can withstand. If it continues to be strengthened, the barrel will collapse first, making the situation worse.

All the bones, meridians, five internal organs, acupuncture points, etc. in his body are constantly feeling swelling and pain. Just by doing some simple movements, his body will scream like crazy.

He just endured the severe pain in his body without letting anyone notice.

But the current situation is already precarious, and Tang Shu estimates that he will not be able to exert his full strength for at least half a year.

His top priority now is not to practice or find a way to pass the exam, but to use the year before the second exam to quickly let his body adapt.

For him, he could pass the second test at any time. Thanks to the trump card specially prepared for him by his eighth soul ring, defeating Xiao Bai was just a matter of thought, but Tang Shu couldn't pass it now.

The year of the second exam is crucial to him.

He needs this year to improve his own problems so that he can cope with the subsequent assessments, especially the next third examination.

Everyone nodded slightly and didn't think much.

They couldn't see Tang Shu's current predicament, and just thought that the 30-year-old soul ring was too powerful and really needed to be digested.

Of course, this understanding is correct, and it is quite different.At this time, no one could have imagined that it would take a whole year to digest what Tang Shu said.

Before everyone could continue to speak, a huge wave suddenly exploded in the ring sea. Xiaobai, who had transformed into a human form, jumped in front of everyone, looked at Tang Shu and sneered:

"Are you scared? Don't you dare to fight me?"

Xiaobai has been thinking about this "good friend" plotting against her.

In the past few months, she had spent most of her time lurking in the Ring Sea, just to see if she had a chance to settle the score.

Unfortunately, no opportunity was found.

Of course, the main reason was that she didn't want to disturb the Shrek Eight Monsters' practice in the Poseidon's Light.

Compared with the importance of these people's assessment, compared with her own trivial matters, Xiaobai can still distinguish the priorities.

But now it's better, she is the examiner for the second exam, and she can legitimately avenge her original revenge.

You are really eavesdropping... Everyone looked at Xiaobai who appeared with strange eyes, and couldn't help but curse in their hearts. They felt that she had lowered the grade and image of the 10-year-old soul beast.

"Am I afraid of you?" Tang Shu shook his sandbag-sized fist, waved it twice as a sign, and hummed:

"Xiao Bai, let me tell you, don't provoke me. If we weren't good friends, just what you just said would have been enough reason for me to beat you until you couldn't get up."

Xiaobai's eyes darkened and he said with a sneer: "If you have the ability, then come. If you can knock me down, you can barely pass the second test."

As an examiner, Xiaobai knew the content of the assessments, and naturally knew that she and Tang Shu would definitely have a winner. But to be honest, she really didn't have much confidence that she could take advantage of Tang Shu.

She has been observing for more than half a year. Although she has not seen many soul ring skills, the color of those soul rings is enough to attract people's attention.

What's more, this person has now advanced to Soul Douluo, and his true strength must have reached the level of Titled Douluo.

"Forget it then, just think that I have no ability. I really don't have time to deal with you now." Tang Shu smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly:

"I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to rest."

After saying that, he walked to the side of the tent that everyone had set up for temporary rest. He found the tent for himself and Ning Rongrong, opened the door curtain and bent down to get in.

Tang Shu was not worried at all that Xiaobai would be so angry that he would sneak up on her. The Shrek Eight Monsters were subject to various restrictions during the assessment, and she was not much better.

According to the assessment rules, as long as they did not enter the scope of the ring sea, Xiaobai could not take action against the people on the shore, and even when blocking Tang San and others, she could not use her full strength.

Only when facing him can Xiaobai unleash his full firepower.

Looking at Tang Shu, who "does what he says", and Xiaobai, who looks unhappy and helpless next to him, everyone is dumbfounded.

The short conversation came to an end, and the group began a new journey of cultivation.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing have been fighting against Xiao Bai, accumulating experience in water battles while constantly collecting information on her various skills.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were focused on hitting the seventy-level bottleneck. Before they had the seventh soul skill and martial soul avatar, neither of them planned to consider the second test.

Tang Shu, on the other hand, was leisurely. His daily routine was to find a quiet place to lie down, quietly watching a few people fight with Xiao Bai, and taking the time to give Bai Chenxiang advice from time to time.

The eighth soul ring made him completely become an uncle and lead a retirement life ahead of schedule.

Tang Shu has already made a plan. Before the second test comes, he will not rush into action with Xiaobai. Once he does, he must rely on the eighth soul ring to defeat her in one fell swoop without giving her a chance to find out.

At the same time, don't put too much burden on your body. He can't afford it now.

Bai Chenxiang is also constantly practicing hard. This time, she will not be able to accompany the Shrek Eight Monsters to take the second test.

Xiao Bai might be merciful, but there are other ten thousand year soul beasts in the ring sea, and they don't have such high intelligence. This is too dangerous for Bai Chenxiang.

As the days passed, everyone went about their work step by step, spending time in their own cultivation.

It was not until three months later that Oscar took one step ahead of Ma Hongjun and successfully broke through to level [-].

His soul power level has always been ahead of Ma Hongjun's. Before the end of the first test, he was already approaching level 69. After the test was completed, three months of hard training allowed him to break through the Soul Saint level bottleneck.

Poseidon Douluo Bo Saixi appeared again and gave away the last god-given spirit ring among the Shrek Eight Monsters.

Everyone paused their practice and looked at Oscar worriedly, watching him struggle in the golden thread of the god-given soul ring.

Tang Shu also took advantage of this rare opportunity and touched Bo Saixi's side: "Senior, can I ask you a question?"

Are you already level 87... Bo Saixi's eyes were soft, and he looked at Tang Shu and smiled slightly: "Of course, you can ask questions as long as they are not about assessment."

Tang Shu took a deep breath to suppress the turbulent waves in his mind. His voice trembled slightly and was almost inaudible.

"Senior, what do you think... order... is..."

The scene fell silent for a moment, and although everyone did not move, they all temporarily focused their attention.

Although Tang Shu's voice was low, everyone could clearly hear his cultivation level around the Soul Saint level.

After hearing Tang Shu's words clearly, Bo Saixi was also slightly startled by the question.

If someone else asked this question, she would be able to tell a long story, but when asked from Tang Shu's mouth, it was different.

Back when he was under the Seahorse Holy Pillar, Bo Saixi learned some inside stories.

She knew the importance of this issue and knew that now was not the time to talk nonsense. Even she couldn't express her opinions too much and couldn't influence Tang Shu with her own thinking.

She could only use her own life experience to provide him with ideas.

Consider for a long time.

Bo Saixi did not answer Tang Shu's question, but instead asked: "What do you think the sea is?"

"The sea..."

Tang Shu opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly stopped.

The sea is the sea, how else to explain it?

"The sea is the sea." Bo Saixi seemed to understand Tang Shu's thoughts and pointed out:

"I can't answer your question. You can only rely on yourself to understand it. Some things should not be limited by a framework. What you see may be its essence, but when you start to delve deeper, you will get lost in it. "

Tang Shu was silent. Bo Saixi's words were correct. Everyone's thoughts were different. He could only understand what order was.

It's stupid to ask this question and seek medical treatment in a hurry.

Looking at Tang who was deep in thought, no one said anything to disturb him. After all, senior Bo Saixi couldn't answer too many questions, so they naturally didn't dare to express their opinions randomly.

They all know how seriously Tang Shu attaches importance to this issue. Talking nonsense will lead to disaster!

……

Since the start of the second test, affected by the mysterious influence, the Shrek Eight Monsters have never seen the sun again.

The sky is always covered with clouds, and the water in the ring sea never stops boiling under the influence of a certain big shark.

Without the warmth and moisture of the sun, it is easy to feel depressed.

In the nearly one year since the second exam, the only things that everyone could do to relieve their mood were Ma Hongjun and Oscar's seventh soul skill.

Ma Hongjun's seventh soul ring was still the ten-headed blazing sun snake inner elixir after all. After he broke through, he lost a lot of weight and became more handsome.

Tang Shu can clearly feel that with the help of the inner elixir, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame has completely reached the ultimate level, no longer lingering on the edge of the ultimate martial spirit like before.

As for Oscar, his seventh soul skill was very interesting. It was too obscene to look at. He only used it once and it made everyone happy for three months.

However, although it is a bit wretched, the effect is ridiculously powerful.

As Oscar's cultivation level increased, or in other words, since he absorbed the ten thousand year soul ring, the effects of his soul skills have become more and more astonishing, and the seventh soul skill has undergone a complete qualitative change.

After a brief moment of surprise and joy, everyone returned to their own practice.

As time went by, the second year after Shrek and his group came to Poseidon Island had passed by unknowingly.

At the same time, the deadline for the second exam has also arrived.
