Third Trial and Enemy's Name
🕑 Added 2022-06-06 13:48:48 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 291 ----
At the Sea God Island beach, Yunlong practiced his Aura and created several translucent weapons of energy. It's not spirit energy or spiritual force, but pure Aura.
A flash of pale red energy burst out of Yunlong's palm, forming a bow, spear, sword, and other weapons.
He casually threw them into the air and entered an unfixed stance, where his feet dug deep into the white sands.
Yunlong closed his eyes and picked the spear, bouncing it to the sky. A breeze was created from his sharp movement, revolving above the seawater.
Boom!
A small shockwave was smacked against sea waves and splashed sea water everywhere.
Yunlong grabbed the handle of the Aura sword and entered a dual-wielding stance.
He breathed in and waved the sword in a circular motion. The spear followed after, creating a perfect circle because of his rotation.
Yunlong's arms seemed to fade away briefly, multiplying by his spear and sword to three. His action currently is not an illusion because he was just too fast.
He stepped out of the white sands and entered the shallow seawater.
"First Stance: Black Tortoise."
Yunlong's weapons became one with himself, enabling him to use them as his limbs. Unlike a standard Karate Kyokushin stance, he wants to use the stance as the foundation of his ultimate self.
He moved the spear and stabbed it forward, following with a sharp slash from his sword. He kicked the sea waves and parted them apart with a combination of his weapons movement.
BOOM!
Yunlong created a more significant shockwave than his previous attack, destroying the sea waves away.
A silhouette of a solid black tortoise gradually was constructed behind Yunlong's back. It's a combination of powerful defense and offense at the same time since he can defend himself with the shockwave and attack his enemy.
Yunlong picked an Aura Scythe and quickly altered it with his spear, making an image of three arms.
"Second Stance: Phoenix Rise."
He gripped the scythe and pierced the seawater, creating soaring shockwaves.
BOOM!
The seawater rose to the sky, and a hammer fell onto Yunlong's hand, which he altered with his swords.
"Third Stance: White Tiger's Dance."
It was a combo of strikes that penetrated an opponent's defenses. However, Yunlong could apply these attacks to almost everything in his arsenal.
When he used "Heavenly Ruler." The third stance would shine and become one of his strongest attacks, but what if he combined it with Clear Sky Clan's hammer method.
"Not to mention this newly gained skill."
[Space-Shattering Strikes Initiated...]
He grinned like a madman and began to dance above the sea waters, attacking thin air gently.
Tang Hao's disorder splitting order hammer and great sumeru hammer were techniques Yunlong copied in the past. He stored them in his spiritual sea and used them as a reference most of the time.
However, It was such a waste.
Yunlong's hammer and scythe danced with him above the sea waters. Every time he swung them in the air, deafening noises abruptly was created.
The space warped around Yunlong and affected the area around him. He danced without a care with the help of the third stance and used his movement to keep going, adding more and more momentum to his attack.
He could destroy any defense below god-level with this combo of attacks, adding more momentum with each strike, and no one can stop it.
Asura God might be shocked with Yunlong's current state.
Unlike their divine techniques, Yunlong's technique frankly was created under one premise.
Weapon Mastery.
Yunlong's eyes shone with a menacing white luster.
[Name: Eternal Arms Mastery]
[Type: Passive]
[A flawless mastery over all weapons and armament, a skilled master wouldn't lose their strengths because of mental hindrance or physical limits]
[A true master will be in a perfect state of a warrior even without any armament]
A perfect union between Mind, Spirit, and Body, birthing a state of serene calmness. Yunlong was able to create several combinations of a weapons attack with this.
The terrifying part was he used purely physical strength, Aura, and Weapon Mastery only. Yes, he didn't use a single drop of spirit energy or wisp of spiritual force.
Yunlong's movement became more and more unfixed because of the accumulation of momentum. A single step could create shockwaves that destroy the space fabric.
Then, What about the following steps?
What about the weapons in Yunlong's hands?
Each possessed an unruly intent that could slash and destroy the earth itself.
"Answer my call, Alpha," Yunlong whispered calmly.
"Create a shield to absorb my attack."
A silhouette of a white-haired lady appeared in the air and smiled at Yunlong.
Alpha raised her palm and materialized a [Thousand Miracles Handkerchief] copy. It was one of the authorities Yunlong granted to her.
As Yunlong's first-ever spirit soul, Alpha was able to use his first martial soul and 10% of his spirit energy, using them to activate his spirit skills.
However, it's proven too early because Alpha's knowledge of Yunlong's martial soul is too shallow. Her imagination and creativity are also not as vast as Yunlong's.
After all, Alpha was born a few days ago.
The second authority given to her was Yunlong's material reinforcement skill. It's a must for her to use.
Alpha tried her best to create a thousand swords and hardened them with material reinforcement but failed because she couldn't fortify the handkerchief properly with spirit energy.
She doesn't possess eyes to sense raw energy.
The third and last authority is to be able to use White Light Grace. Unfortunately, Sharingan and Mortal Sin: Gluttony aren't compatible with her nature.
Yet, this is where Alpha's talent bloomed the most.
White Light Grace is Yunlong's quirk from his previous life.
It's a healing power based on pure light energy that could heal oneself or others by transferring nature energy.
Alpha could manipulate White Light Grace and Thousand Miracle Handkerchief, forming over a thousand flapping butterflies to heal allies.
Since White Light Grace was a light-based ability, it could harm dark creatures, making Alpha the bane of evil.
If the dark lich fought again with Yunlong in the future, Alpha's existence would be a headache for that guy.
Yet, Alpha showed a talent for Space and Time law, which came from Xiao Wu's and Tang Xiao's essence. Her talent is so great that she could replicate Yunlong's teleportation mark.
Alpha clenched her hand and formed an enormous white shield in the sky, granting it the highest material reinforcement she could do.
A spatial barrier covered the shield and protected it against "Tittle Douluo." attacks.
Sadly, Yunlong's attack isn't a title douluo attack.
"Adamas."
Yunlong's body passed through the space and dragged them with himself to the Alpha's shield.
The entire Sea God Island trembled because of the Yunlong's attack gravitational force, making the sea waves soar to the sky abnormally.
"Adamas."
Yunlong's attack didn't touch Alpha's shield directly.
It destroyed the space itself with powerful shockwaves and caused a violent storm of spatial disturbance, creating a black hole that destroyed Alpha's shield into nothingness.
SWOOSH! BOOOOOM!
The aftereffect swept over the Sea God Island with the ocean breeze. A few white sharks floated in the tornado and shook in fear.
"Mou! You're destroying my shield like it was nothing!" Alpha complained while pouting at Yunlong.
She threw a tantrum and crossed her arm, giving her master an angry look.
"Heh, that seems to be your problem," Yunlong answered while calming the area with his spatial manipulation.
"If you want to complain, then be stronger first."
Even though Yunlong stated such a thing, there weren't many people who could receive his attacks safely. There is also the reason why Alpha's spatial manipulation is so great.
A normal title douluo with spatial affinity like Bone Douluo wouldn't be able to nullify most of Yunlong's attacks.
No, He most likely died first because of the initial momentum of Yunlong's weapons.
As the storm calmed down, Yunlong could see the space restored and covered the blackhole.
"Give me more of your knowledge, master." Alpha approached him.
Yunlong smirked and answered, "Sure, don't watch too much, okay."
Alpha stuck out her tongue and returned, "I only watched a few episodes."
"C2 is a great character!"
She excitedly entered Yunlong's spiritual sea back and started to watch anime from his memories.
"To think my spirit soul would become a weeb," Yunlong chuckled wryly. "Who would have thought that?"
He shook his head slightly and walked back to the Sea God Island, finding Bo Saixi on the beach.
"Oh, Little Saixi." Yunlong smiled at her.
"Do you come to visit Daddy's training?"
Little Saixi opened her mouth and solemnly said, "I'm back."
"..." Yunlong's expression hardened because Bo Saixi finally recovered her spiritual sea.
"You seem to be disappointed with my recovery..." Bo Saixi's mouth twitched.
"Haa..."
She sighed and continued, "Bear in mind, I haven't fully recovered my spiritual sea."
"It's only 20% at the moment."
Yunlong nodded and asked, "I assume you have something important to say?"
Bo Saixi called her staff with great difficulty and connected her consciousness with the Sea God Island.
"Can you call them here?" She opened her eyes and stared at Yunlong.
Yunlong snapped his finger, and each of his companions arrived on the beach, leaving some of them speechless.
"Eh?"
"Where are we?"
Kaguya landed on the white sand and looked around with a weird expression.
A moment ago, Kaguya was on the Nine Heavens Staircases, trying to find a clue about the connection between the current time and the future.
Kaguya has a few speculations but couldn't confirm them yet.
"Little Saixi?" She looked at her adopted daughter.
"What are you doing?"
Bo Saixi sighed and responded, "Please don't call me that."
"Why?" Kaguya tilted her head in confusion.
They stared at each other with a frown because Kaguya couldn't understand Bo Saixi's weird behavior.
Kaguya was too accustomed to Little Saixi's childish antics, a new motherly experience for herself. After all, she never had a daughter in her life.
Yunlong sent a telepathic message to Kaguya's mind and made her pout in frustration because Little Saixi was now gone. One of her new amusements disappeared so suddenly.
'Why do I feel sad...' Bo Saixi thought while gripping her staff.
She shook her head from the muddy thought and declared, "I don't have enough time."
"I'm here to start the third trial."
Yunlong and his companion nodded and waited for Bo Saixi's statement.
A golden light fluttered from the seven holy pillars and showered them with a flash of brilliance.
Yunlong gradually closed his eyes and received the third Sea God's Trial. A frown emerged from his forehead because the test objective was different than it was supposed to be.
[Chain Quest: Sea God Nine Trials]
[Third Quest: Sea God Island's Territory]
[1st Objective: Secured 300km area around the Sea God Island]
[2nd Objective: Defeat the intruders]
[3rd Objective: All martial soul's abilities and active skills sealed]
[4th Objective: 75% of host's spirit energy suppressed]
[5th Objective: Carry the Priestess until the third trial end]
Yunlong opened his eyes and saw the system panel with a calm gaze. He moved his gaze to Bo Saixi and noticed her face was so pale.
"Priestess." He quickly moved to Bo Saixi and caught her in his embrace.
Bo Saixi released a groan and trembled briefly, opening her eyes slowly. "Daddy?" She whispered with a childish tone.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
Yunlong patted Little Saixi and answered, "Nothing."
"Do you know what happened before?"
Little Saixi clutched her head and murmured, "I don't know..."
"I was sleeping on the cloud and saw a big sister sitting on the sea."
"After that... Ugh."
"I can't remember anything."
"I see... It's okay, don't push yourself." Yunlong sighed in relief.
Kaguya approached them and stole Little Saixi away from Yunlong.
"Are you okay?" She asked with a worried tone.
"Mhmm." Little Saixi nodded her head.
Yunlong watched them with a wry smile and looked at the other companions.
"Let's form a plan, shall we?" He said calmly.
--- A few hours later ---
A night arrived at Sea God Island, and Yunlong waited patiently for someone.
"How was it?" He asked while looking at the moon.
A black water blob appeared from underground and moved to Yunlong's side. "Everything is under control." Black Zetsu answered naturally.
"I've investigated the Sun and Moon Continent."
"They were inventing some weapon to destroy the Douluo Continent."
"There are two projects called "God Slaying Weapons." and "False Gods Seat Method." which were unknown because only one researcher knew about it."
"What's the name of this researcher?" Yunlong frowned at Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu's slime body shuddered and answered, "I-It's Su Mucheng."
Yunlong grasped Black Zetsu's body and returned, "Su Mucheng?"
"Who?"
