— Chapter 287 —

“What do you think, Priestess?” Yunlong playfully asked.

It was clear that Bo Saixi knew about his second trial, which was beyond extreme for him. Yet, Yunlong wasn’t even surprised because it was a trial to get Sea God’s position.

After all, Sea God won’t make it easy for him.

Yunlong moved his gaze to his companions and noticed their confusion. “What’s your trial, Bai Xue, Yu Ning’er?” He questioned calmly.

“To pass through the ring sea blockade and reach the other shore without killing any sea spirit beasts and not using any spirit ring abilities.” Bai Xue and Yu Ning’er answered immediately.

“We also couldn’t stay apart from you, no more than 15 meters away.”

The other maids nodded their heads because they also got the same trials.

However, Kaguya slowly raised her hand and said, “I can’t use my spirit energy, spirit skills, and martial arts.”

“The only exception is my eyes.”

“It’s better than nothing,” Yunlong commented while patting Kaguya’s head.

He breathed and closed his eyes, thinking of a swift yet safe plan for their second trials. Since he couldn’t use any skills besides physical-based skills, it would be annoying but not impossible for him.

After a few minutes, Yunlong slowly opened his eyes and whispered, “Hear me out.”

“We’ll do heptagram formation with me in the center, and each of you’ll do a rotation based on my instruction.” He added naturally.

Yunlong explained the plan clearly to them, and Bai Xue raised her hand.

“Young master, can you release the seal on our spirit energy?” Bai Xue asked, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

With a quick tap on Yu Ning’er and Bai Xue’s shoulders, he released their spirit energy from the seals.

“Are you really going to do the trials?” Bo Saixi clenched her staff a little and frowned at Yunlong.

Yunlong chuckled and replied, “Of course.”

“It’s a hard and challenging trial, but not impossible enough to make me quit.”

“Priestess, with my maid on my side, I won’t lose to such a messy test,” He continued confidently.

Bo Saixi slowly glanced at Yunlong’s maids and noticed satisfied smiles. Even Xue Nu, who wasn’t very intimate with Yunlong, felt pleased because he trusted her.

The Snow Empress clearly didn’t show much of her emotion and only stared at her supposed young master with a pleasing look.

They merely were bound by contract, nothing else.

Xue Now looked at the beautiful ring Yunlong gave her a few days ago with a calm look.

‘Yes, nothing else.’ She thought while lowering her gaze.

“Very well, I’ll observe you from afar.” Bo Saixi sighed inside and walked away to the Sea God’s Temple.

“…Don’t push yourself, Sea God’s Inheritor.”

Yunlong smirked and shook his head because Bo Saixi’s tone softened for a moment. He turned around and observed the Seven Children of Sea God’s expression.

Since they had heard Yu Ning’er and Bai Xue’s trial content, they had guessed Yunlong’s test difficulty was beyond that. They were either curious, skeptical, or mad about how he could pass this second trial.

Yunlong walked to the Sea God Island’s beach with his maids and saw over a thousand Demon Spirit Great White Sharks.

The seashore was rumbling with flapping fins, which were somewhat pleasant to Yunlong’s ears.

“Well, here we go,” Yunlong watched his companions surround him in heptagram formation.

Kaguya stayed on his side and shared her Byakugan vision through the spiritual link.

Chu Xiaoyu stood in front with her sword drawn.

She nodded at Yunlong and suddenly released a piercing sword intent. It was enough to create an invisible sharp area around them to break through the blockade of the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks.

They didn’t have to say anything because Yunlong’s spiritual link was enough to connect them.

“What are they doing?” Sea Dragon Douluo frowned at the heptagram formation.

Sea Star Douluo leaned on a rock and commented, “I don’t know.”

“From what I’ve heard from my disciple, her young master possessed a formidable power, but with huge restrictions, I doubt he could fight freely.”

Sea Ghost Douluo silently watched and added, “They are starting to move…”

BOOM!

Chu Xiaoyu stepped on the seawater and waved her sword forward, creating an energy burst to sweep over the nearest Demon Spirit Great White Shark.

The entire group moved and jumped from one seawater to another seawater without falling into the sea. They used the water-walking technique and swiftly ran out of the shore.

SWOOSH!

A wall of whirlpool abruptly raised from the seawater, and Chu Xiaoyu stepped away from her position.

Yu Ning’er replaced Chu Xiaoyu with a thunder spear ready in her hand.

“Discharge.” She gathered pure spirit energy on the tip of her spear.

The spirit energy revolved into rasengan, which she had applied to her technique in the past.

However, it doesn’t end there because the rasengan shape turned sharp arc-like for a second and brushed the whirlpool.

BOOM!

The whirlpool clashed with Yu Ning’er attack and exploded violently, splashing sea water everywhere.

A clear path quickly was created for them, and Yu Ning’er took the initiative to clear away some sharks with the shaft of her spear.

PA! PA! PA!

Yu Ning’er slapped three sharks away and grasped the clear ice below her feet. She pulled her spear away and moved from her front position.

Bai Xue picked several pills from her spatial storage and skillfully distributed them to her fellow maids.

Crack!

She chewed on the pill and entered the front position, gathering golden flame on her palm.

Chu Yunxi and Xue Nu, who remained at the back of the formation, nodded at each other.

They raised their palms and gathered cold wind and snow to propel them all to the air.

“Snow Field.”

“Ice Wind Breeze.”

BOOM!

The part of that beach instantly was buried by thick green ice and white snow.

Yunlong and his companions were flying with an enormous surfboard made of ice.

SPLASH! BOOM!

They landed a few miles away from the beach and splashed with seawater.

Yunlong closed his eyes and saw a crowd of Demon Spirit Great White Sharks almost reach them.

A line of Demon Shark’s teeth flew in the air and chased after them.

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing released dark energy from their palms. The energy condensed into cat claws, which countered the Demon Shark’s teeth.

BOOM!

A powerful shockwave occurred and caused enormous waves to appear between them, pushing the surfboard away.

Bai Xue waved her hand signs skillfully and frowned because she couldn’t use her spirit skill to manipulate her golden flame instantly.

“Fire Style: Severing Buddha Lotuses.”

Bai Xue raised her palm and summoned over a hundred mini golden lotuses, spreading them around the surfboard to raise the seawater’s temperature.

At first, it wasn’t noticeable because Bai Xue boiled the area to deplete the oxygen.

The flock of sharks approached them, but they reacted weirdly because the Demon Shark Great White Shark lived in the cold area.

They are uncomfortable with the situation they are in right now.

Yunlong instructed Xue Nu and Chu Yunxi to blast another cold wind and snow.

BOOM!

The surfboard flew again from the chase of the shark, but one shark prevailed over the warm seawater and chased after Yunlong.

The king of Demon Spirit White Great Shark, who Yunlong kicked a day ago, swam quickly and yelled, “Do you think warm water is enough to make me stop, human!”

SWOOSH! BOOM!

“I’m done with playing around with you.” She added indifferently.

“I’ll make you fail NOW!

The seawater between them suddenly glowed with mystic white color and solidified because of Demon Great White Shark’s king ability.

It’s a powerful domain to gain absolute control over the seawater within a specific range as if it was an extension of her body.

As the king of the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks, she can share the domain’s power with her other clan members to enhance their power.

Yunlong didn’t say anything and casually waved his hand to the Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king.

“Come here, Little Shark.” He provoked with a mischievous tone.

Yunlong knew the Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king was a prideful spirit beast. She won’t back down even if her enemy is more powerful than herself.

Kaguya’s eyes twitched a little because the surroundings changed abruptly.

She moved her gaze to the Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king and voiced, ‘That shark was about to use something dangerous.’

‘I know,’ Yunlong naturally responded while grasping Kaguya’s left hand. ‘Kaguya, can you lend me your martial soul for a moment?’

Kaguya tilted her head in confusion but heard Yunlong’s words attentively.

Yunlong instructed his other companions to move the surfboard away, running away quickly from the shark’s domain.

He stood extremely still on the surfboard and sensed natural energy flowing from Kaguya to his body.

Since Kaguya could only use her eyes, he used her martial soul to harvest natural energy for him.

“Nine Dragon Gate…”

“First Gate, Virtuous Dragon Spirit.”

“Second Gate: Vengeful Dragon Soul.”

“Third Gate: Intertwined Dragon’s Fate.”

Yunlong’s body released a mighty dragon aura, which caused the surrounding spirit beast to tremble slightly.

A field filled with darkness and light was created around Yunlong and expanded to cover his companions.

“What is this…” Xue Nu’s body trembled when watching Yunlong from behind.

Yunlong’s appearance changed because armor made of dark-golden dragon scales materialized from his skin.

He opened his eyes and flicked his finger, causing a ball of light and darkness to appear around them.

There are at least one hundred of these balls. Each of them possessed a combination of darkness and light laws.

“Young master?” Zhu Zhuyun, who was sharp with the dark attribute, looked at Yunlong in awe.

Nine Dragon Gate is a self-created technique Yunlong developed under Gu Yuena’s advice.

It’s similar to Eight Gates of Death but more synonyms with the Bloodline Activation technique. It has three activation levels, with tier one being the first three gates.

The two initial gates actually were based on Yunlong’s True Saint Dragon and True Evil Dragon’s lineages, which means the last gate of each level was the force to balance the two opposite energies.

Gu Yuena obviously won’t be satisfied with such a rough technique, so she complements it with the martial art of the Dragon Clan.

‘Hmph, I have the right to name this martial art for your Nine Dragon Gate.’ Gu Yuena’s voice echoed in Yunlong’s head.

‘Don’t forget this name, okay.’

‘Or I’ll be mad and beat you down to a pulp.’

Yunlong breathed steadily and whispered, “Nine Extreme Arts of Eclipse Dragon.”

Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king screamed and sent thousands of Shark’s Teeth at Yunlong specifically.

“Xue Nu.” Yunlong’s voice echoed, to which Xue Nu instinctively responded by throwing a frost halberd at him.

‘H-Huh?!’ Xue Nu stared at her hand with a surprised look.

‘What was that?’

‘Why is my body moving on its own?’

Swoosh! Bam!

Yunlong grasped the shaft of the frost halberd and commented with a gentle tone, “Perfect.”

The surfboard stopped because of Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king, so Yunlong stepped on the seawater and observed the spirit beast calmly.

Yunlong’s companions stood beside him and prepared themselves to help him.

He smiled and waved his halberd down to the Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king domain.

A domain of light and darkness quickly expanded over a mile away.

“When light and darkness coexist, all domains are weakened by it.” Yunlong declared, which caused Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king to frown because her domains weakened.

“Nine Extreme Arts of Eclipse Dragon: Absolute Oblivion.”

Even though Yunlong’s dragon blood, spiritual forces, and spirit energy quickly drained by using Nine Extreme Arts of Eclipse Dragon.

It’s a way to test himself to get away from this situation.

“The trial said we couldn’t kill the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks, right?” He asked suddenly.

“Yes.” Kaguya and others answered simultaneously.

Yunlong pointed his halberd at the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks and continued, “Then, we could defeat them without killing any of them, no?”

“It’s just a raw battle with our pure abilities and no spirit skills.”

“Nine of us.”

“Against over a thousand sharks.”

“I’ll take care of the leader.” He said while walking to the Demon Spirit Great White Shark’s king.

“You can take care of the rest without walking too far from me.”

“Is there any reward for us?” Zhu Zhuyun raised her hand excitedly.

“Of course, I’ll give you a reward,” Yunlong answered with a wink.

He looked at the other Sea God Island’s shore behind the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks and said, “That’s our goal.”
