Chapter 245
Sea Witch, Mermaid Princess?
(TL by Armored Raven)
In full contact, Tang San clearly felt his own soul force being pulled several times more severely, and in just the blink of an eye, he felt it fall. But his face was smiling, because the real surprise was here.
The blue golden light stretched out and the great life force spread out instantly, engulfing not only the sacred pillar platform and the sea, but also the vast forest along the coastline. The gigantic life force instantly flooded in and became the Boundless Realm.
Eight golden spears were released from Tang San's back with countless golden threads nimbly combined with many Blue Silver Emperors. It was the Blue Silver Domain's 'Boundless Nature' evolved skill and the Eight Spider Lances, both of which came out simultaneously with the domain itself as combined skills after consuming the golden thread.
The Blue Silver Domain was the Blue Silver Emperor's default domain. Driven by the spirit innate domain itself, the Blue Silver Emperor himself thickened in an instant. The soul force that flowed away all of a sudden, with every single strand of grass stopping the sewers like stingy nobles fighting for their money. When the golden thread was affixed to the Blue Silver Emperor, the drying of the soul power stopped completely. The battle has become a close combat.
The devouring golden thread could not devour the opponent's power, and the Douluo Sea Star could not devour Tang San's soul power through them as well.
The devouring power of Sea Star Douluo should not be underestimated. Although it was his third spirit skill, it was actually an innate skill of his fighting spirit, plus he also had a spirit bone that had the right effect. Once this devouring ability was used, it would not pale in comparison to his eighth spirit skill. Even the Sea Illusion and the Sealance Douluos would suffer a definite defeat if they were to be snatched like this now.
The golden thread devouring Tang San seemed to have an impressive devouring effect, but when compared to Sea Star Douluo's skill in that regard, they still had a way out. However, the buff domain of blue silver and its weakening effect closed this gap. Under the domain pressure and seagod light, the golden threads in the grass could barely break even. The situation started to change however, when Sea Star Douluo went all out by devouring it. Scales began to point towards Sea Star Douluo. Even so, now would be the place where he was most shocked. He could not have anticipated that this young individual who gained the prestige of the Seagod Nine Trials would have such a powerful devouring ability. Tang San dared to use this method to compete with him.
The huge body twitched as the ninth spirit ring of the Star of the Douluo Sea finally shone. Although the Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around his body, it could not completely cover every single part of it. The blade of grass that was sucked in had completely turned blue. In the sea, columns of seawater were released like arrows and then sucked up by Sea Star Douluo suckers. Tang San later discovered that the Douluo Sea Star could use suckers to filter seawater and use the energy inside to augment his possessions. Next, the body begins to become more slippery while all the suckers move irregularly. The hunt continued, but Tang San's golden thread grew increasingly unable to capture the body of the Douluo Sea Star, while the devouring power of the latter became increasingly stronger.
Several circles of blue light continued to arrive from the Sea Star Douluo's body, and as the sucker turned blue, its body also started to become dense. In the middle of the sea, tentacles came out and surrounded the entire area while suckers of each tentacle radiated in the blue light that enveloped the eyes. Devouring was not only limited to the suckers on the Blue Silver Emperor Tang San, but the ones on the new tentacles also began to devour, and the target was Tang San's domain energy.
This was Sea Star Douluo's ninth spirit skill, Thousand Touches Ten Thousand Suction. Eating all forms of energy within the range of the tentacles, even domain energy was no exception. Those energies were then infused into his own energy, recovering the lost energy. Sea water is undoubtedly his greatest fan. In places that had seawater, the strength of the skill would increase by 30 percent. It was a truly terrifying ninth spirit skill.
The best way to counter this ninth skill was distance. Using distance instead of close contact to attack him. Not within the range of its destruction, wait until the power of its skill runs out, then move to kill. Star Sea Doulou clearly knew the flaws of this spirit skill, therefore, whenever he would use this skill, the condition was that the opponent was already within reach of devouring it and was already devouring. Under his ninth spirit skill, the most powerful thing one could use would also be a major melee skill. Facing Tang San's Boundless Realm and the destruction of the golden thread, the cautious Star of the Douluo Sea used its strongest skill without hesitation, to prevent further complications.
Even the usually calm Tang San would not anticipate that the nine Star Sea Douluo spirit skill would go insane, completely leaving behind the attack power and focus on devouring. It could be said that it would be extremely difficult for a spirit master who could not fly to come out after entering his attack area. Because if all forms of your attacks could devour their energy and be added to it, then most of the attack power would be devoured first, and add the thickness of its flesh and its powerful recovery ability into the equation, even if you have greater strength, being dragged to death would not be a strange matter.
Without any other ideas, Tang San made an instant decision. Even if he were to use his strongest attack now, he would not be able to break free. Using teleportation to leave the battlefield was also impossible, as it meant handing over all the Blue Silver Emperors. With the great loss of the power of the soul and the main body itself, the ongoing battle would spell its own defeat. Therefore, he only had one choice left, and that was to continue fighting destruction with destruction.
After eating the stimulant pink sausage, the Blue Silver Emperor shone intensely after the stimulation. At the same time, Tang San ate an upright golden fly. Facing such a strange opponent, he was forced to give additional measures some additional insurance.
The eighth spirit ring shone and dark red waves shot out like bursts, covering every part of the Sea Star Douluo's body in an instant. The seizure had just paused for a moment, but the ninth spirit skill had no signs of disappearing.
Eighth spirit skill technique Emperor Blue Silver, Devil Absorption Orca Blue Silver activated. Forced initiative, absolute effective technique. Three seconds of dizziness struck Sea Star Douluo, making his movements pause temporarily. But the Silver tentacles of Emperor San and the Sea Star Douluo were tangled, and with that sucker, he could never use these three seconds to break free.
And Tang San had no such intention, as he braced himself and slammed towards the Douluo Sea Star like a shooting star to the moon. Xiao Wu's figure appeared from behind him for this attack because Tang San could not use the Vast Sea Barrier to hide it any further. The Blue Silver Emperor around Xiao Wu's waist was released, which threw him through the slit of the Sea Star Douluo tentacles and into the air. Sea Star Douluo was still dizzy so he could not block it.
With 'POOF', Tang San lat centers Sea Star Douluo's position and does not touch making close body contact. Even so, he could feel the pressure from the giant suckers beneath him. The Eight Spider Lances stabbed fiercely into the Sea Star Douluo's body and a golden light shone out.
The ninth spirit skill of the Douluo Sea Star was to devour, and also, the Eight Spear Spiders Tang San was the strongest spirit bone used to devour. As spirit bones were externally attached, until now, other than golden threads and for direct attacks, the Eight Spider Lances could be said to have only one devouring skill. The majority of the poison he had was caused by the consumption of two extreme herbs mesmerized by Tang San.
This was an all or nothing gamble from Tang San. Under the influence of the upright golden fly, the devouring power of the Eight Spider Lances increased by 150 percent.
A terrifying devouring power exploded in an instant. Although three seconds was short, for Tang San it was enough. In the first second, he landed on the body of Sea Star Douluo, then in the next two seconds, he landed on the body of Sea Star Douluo, he could clearly see that the Sea Star Douluo's body was drying up rapidly under the frightening devouring effects of the Eight Spider Lances. Tang San used all of his energy to devour, and the Eight Spiders Lance poison made a brisk walk to Sea Star Douluo's body.
Back when he faced the Deep Sea Demon Whale, Tang San also used the Eight Spear Spiders to inflict great damage. Now his strength was two larger spirit rings, and after eating the upright golden fly, the power of devouring the spear experienced a considerable increase. Those spears could not compare to Sea Star Douluo when it came to devouring a large area, but it was another story if it was a small area. Unless Sea Star Douluo suckers could be stacked together, then they could not compare to spears.
In just two seconds, Tang San devoured as much spirit power from the dizzy Sea Star Douluo as the amount he spent using the Silver Orca Blue Demon Absorption, he said, while the poison managed to enter the Sea Star Douluo's body as well. He knew that the Douluo Sea Star had the ability to use poison, so his poison resistance would be considerable, on top of being Title Douluo. Even if the Eight Spider Lances had poison, they would not directly take his life. That was why Tang San attacked in such a way without any objections.
With the Eight Spiders Lance entry point as the focus, the giant starfish dried up from the middle while twitching. When Sea Star Douluo came to his senses after dizziness, he was shocked. The spirit power and life force faded rapidly from the eight wounds, while the extreme cold and heat, the polarizing sensation that could make anyone go crazy with pain, spread within the body, paralyzing his 'five limbs' for a moment. The flow of spirit power slowed down, while keeping the ninth spirit skill difficult.
When he felt that the Eight Spiders Lance could carry such a terrifying sensation after piercing his body, the Star of the Sea Douluo panicked. She struggled with all her might, intending to take down Tang San with her moves. But, Tang San clung to her firmly like a maggot festering as the limbs were tied to the body by the Blue Silver Emperor. The more the struggle, the faster the loss of soul power and life force.
Contrary, as it devoured steadily, Tang San's blue golden light became even brighter. After taking in a large amount of energy, the previous losses were quickly compensated. Even the devouring golden thread could gradually suppress the helpless tentacles. Facing an opponent who could fight against him alone of a certain caliber, Tang San chose the most appropriate fighting style, and finally gained the lead after using the evolved Eight Spider Lance several times, take full and firm control of the whole situation.
Sea Star Douluo's body gradually became half scorching hot, and half cold. His defense and recovery were extremely strong, but he was completely helpless against such a terrifying poison. He could only delay the speed of the deployment, but he could not stop devouring his energy. At this point the outcome of the battle was decided. Xiao Wu descended slowly from the air, and Tang San even used the Blue Silver Emperor to wrap around his waist, supporting his descendants. Now he did not even let Xiao Wu's soul enter his body. It is better to have options when there are still two more challenges.
The eight Spear Spiders under the influence of the upright golden fly were too terrifying, to the point that the ninth spirit skill of Sea Star Douluo was damaged. Tentacles in the sea fall quickly and the color of the sucker fades. Even his own body shrank rapidly as he condensed his energy to stop the devouring progress and poison.
“Aui defeat, senior. "After saying that, Tang San suddenly stopped devouring and did not continue on. Because he clearly felt the heartbeat of Sea Star Douluo. Finding the opponent's heart meant that the Douluo Sea Star no longer had the strength to protect itself. If this goes on, there will be irreversible damage.
"I'm lost . "A somewhat weak voice came. Although Sea Star Douluo was not happy, he was not too upset either. After all, the other four partners before him had also suffered a similar fate.
The Eight Spider Lances did not leave the Sea Star Douluo's body, but quickly took back the ice and fire poison while restoring the life force it had taken out instead. Of course, Tang San would not restore the spirit power taken away because the Douluo Sea Star could always get it back through meditation, and Tang San needed it to compensate for what he used in this experiment.
With a ripped sound, the Eight Spider Lance left the Sea Star Douluo's body, and the massive starfish from the body quickly shrank back to its human form, which was the strange man seen at the beginning.
"The power you used on me came from an external spirit bone?" The voice of Sea Star Douluo was extremely hoarse, and it sounded extremely uncomfortable.
Grabbing Xiao Wu, Tang San nodded, “That is my external spirit bone, Eight Spider Lances. ”
Sighing, Sea Star Douluo muttered, “No wonder! My most deft devouring skill is gone for you. My defeat without objection. You're winning. "Tang San had already shown him mercy and had not really hurt him, so he would not find trouble in all of this. While he was saying that, his left hand extended long and slapped the holy pillar. Just then, a piece of star-shaped light flowed out from the pillar and landed on Tang San and Xiao Wu. The test of the fifth holy pillar finally passed.
After thanking the Douluo Sea Star, Tang San carried Xiao Wu on his back and returned to the beach without a break, and rushed to the next stop after meeting their friends. Furthermore, they would have to face the last few challenges, which would undoubtedly be the most difficult among the seven. Tang San had to face the guardian of the most powerful holy pillar, the Douluo Sea Dragon at the end, and Zhu Zhuqing in the Fifth Black Class Trial had to undergo his own final test as well. For the final test, he would have to face what was far more difficult than the other Black Class tests. After passing through it, he would be considered to have seagod approval and become one of the members of Seagod Island. That prestige would also be the same as the Guardian Douluos of the seven holy pillars.
Zhu Zhuqing knew Tang San's good intentions of course. He looked at the nodding and smiling Dai Mubai with his cold face, “Thank you, San Ge, but I'm sure I can make it. You've done a lot for us in previous tests. I deserve to repay you. Don't forget, other than you and Mubai, my spirit power is supreme. ”
Zhu Zhuqing's current spirit power was level 78. When Dai Mubai made it past level 80, the next one to break through the Spirit Douluo stage was him. As the team's original agility attack spirit master, he wouldn't give up so easily. Perhaps he did not have the formidable body of Dai Mubai, or the terrifying power explosion of Ma Hongjun, but he had a speed that they did not possess.
Tang San would not diminish Zhu Zhuqing's confidence. He looked at Rongrong and said, “What about you, Rongrong? Can you still hold on? ”
Ning Rongrong also took part in three challenges. He seemed to only support the others behind them, but in reality, his consumption of spirit power was the greatest except for Tang San. For a friend to win, he must give it his all. With Oscar's sausage as collateral, whenever Tang San fought alone, he could rest for a while. But she was unlike Tang San who had cleared her eight incredible meridians and could recover spirit power anytime anywhere, so her condition was far from what it was before. Still, he nodded, as only the final battle was left. After helping Zhu Zhuqing, he would also complete his fifth trial by himself.
Tang San did not say anything more and everyone rushed over. Dai Mubai rested after the previous two battles and recovered his spirit power after Oscar's sausage. He used the White Tiger transformation and took Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing on a journey. When they arrived at the sixth holy pillar, the Sea Mage Holy Pillar, the golden light in the sky indicated that time had passed by the 16th hour. From the looks of it, there was still enough time, while Tang San still had 56 hours to complete the next challenge.
Tang San could not rest, as the outcome of this battle was extremely important. It concerned whether Zhu Zhuqing could pass all of his tests and offer further consultation. His soul power had recovered by 80 percent after devouring all of it before, but the fatigue he had experienced in the previous five battles was far from calm. Every battle was about facing a powerful grade enemy Title Douluo, and the battle of Douluo Sea Illusion was extremely exhausting. Even with the Boundless level spiritual power, he still felt tired. Fortunately, there is plenty of time. Until the sixth battle was over, he would have enough time to rest.
The Sea Witch Sacred Pillar's platform had a very simple shape, as it was only square. But the pillar itself in the middle of the platform is different from the others. Instead of pillars, it should be called a statue. The exterior is like ivory color. A statue of a girl, kneeling on a platform with both hands clasped in front of her chest, faces the Seagod Hall in prayer. Although it was a statue, the godly expression on the face was vivid and lively.
At the end of the platform, a young girl was sitting there. What is surprising is that it has a large fish tail. A beautiful bow stretches to the waist. The tail of his fish hit the sea light surface, and his upper body was wrapped in a black shirt without covering the middle. She had large sky-colored eyes, and instead of the ocean, her face would be like the beauty of the blue sky, as her lips formed a constant smile while the fishtail continuously slapped the seawater happily. Sensing the arrival of the Shrek Seven Devils, he raised his head and looked towards the beach. "Are you here to challenge me?" His voice sounded like a bell ringing. A pleasant sounding voice could not cause hostility to anyone.
The young girl seemed to be so, but everyone knew that as the Guardian Douluo of the sacred pillar, the Sea Witch Pillar, her true lifespan would not be much lower than that of the other Guardian Douluos.
Tang San bowed and said, "We came to ask for senior guidance. Tough please. ”
"Good . I'll start easily. "This surprised everyone, as this Douluo Sea Witch actually nodded and agreed, while no hidden movements could be seen from her naive appearance. The Shrek Seven Devils all thought, 'Is he really this young?'
“What's so weird about you? No need to feel that way. I am not a human being, but part of the mermaid race. Half a half-human sea spirit beast I guess. We mermaids won't grow old. I am not a monster. Heehee. “Sea Witch Douluo giggled as she explained. After hearing what she said, while everyone did not pay too much attention to her, Tang San's expression changed drastically, "Reading his mind?"
Sea Witch Douluo was also shocked when she saw Tang San, “Ya! You really see through my innate ability. You seem strong! It's bad, it's bad, I might lose today. Why can't I see through your heart? "His beautiful expression was centered on curiosity, and she immediately saw Tang San's golden trident brand on her forehead, which caught her off guard," I see, you're a human who has the honor of obtaining the Seagod Nine Trials! With the protection of light seagod, no wonder I can't see you. You're all so bad, you want to beat me by delivering. How can you defend it? "
Seeing the joking nature of the Sea Witch, the Shrek Seven Devils were speechless, and the most surprising one was Dai Mubai. This Sea Witch undoubtedly had a great charm to her. He preferred to fight against the Sealance Douluo and was unwilling to face such an opponent. Fortunately, this challenge had to be taken by Zhu Zhuqing, a woman.
“This is our test. It doesn't matter whether we can keep it or not. "Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice broke the voice of the Sea Witch. Taking Ning Rongrong and soaring through the surface of the sea, they landed in front of the sacred pillar after several jumps.
Sea Witch did not have the slightest intention to attack them and just stared with widened curiosity, “You are beautiful, you are both older sisters. This is the first time I've seen a girl as beautiful as me. "It's not self-exaggeration. In terms of appearance, she was actually on the same level as Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, even more so when the two women did not possess the elegance of the sea.
Zhu Zhuqing protected Rongrong behind him. While releasing her own spirit, Ning Rongrong could not help but ask, “Female sister? Let me ask senior, how old are you now? "
Sea Witch Douluo twisted her fingers naively as the tail of a long fish lifted from the sea water, landing on the platform before turning into a pair of legs with a black long skirt covering them. "I don't remember. Something like 96 or 97? Boy, brother, your expression is so unpleasant! I'm not saying you're old because our mermaids have five times the lifespan of humans. According to your calculations, I am not twenty yet. Calling you sister should be appropriate. Look, this statue is my ancestor. When we leave the sea water, we turn into human beings in appearance but only for a short time, otherwise we die. My grandfather is now the head of a mermaid. He said I have an amazing talent in just ten thousand years, so he sent me to guard this sacred pillar. But it's very boring here. I don't like this monotonous life, but I can't leave this place. You two older sisters, since you are so beautiful, don't fight like we killed each other ok? I'll blow your tone. When you are finished, you will graduate. How about that?'
His left hand moved slightly, and a black short flute appeared in his grasp. He turned it around and brought it to his lips with both hands.
"Don't let him blow it and attack immediately. Rongrong, no domain. Attack at full power! "Tang San did not use telepathy, but screamed.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong lowered their enmity with the words Sea Witch, but Tang San's voice was like an absolute order to them. Almost reflexively, Zhu Zhuqing kicked out and turned into a series of shadows to attack the Sea Witch. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Ning Rongrong also appeared and the first fan in Zhu Zhuqing was agility. Zhu Zhuqing's body became an illusion for a moment. The sharp claws of the cat were set to grip the wrists and the black flute of the Sea Witch.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Ning Rongrong also appeared and the first fan in Zhu Zhuqing was agility. Zhu Zhuqing's body became an illusion for a moment. The sharp claws of the cat were set to grip the wrists and the black flute of the Sea Witch.
The Sea Witch's brows curved as the light around him became a mirage. Nine neatly positioned spirit rings appeared around the black flute. The second spirit ring shone, and in the mirage, his figure became surging. Although he could not completely dodge Zhu Zhuqing's swift attack, the black flute in his hand held back three blows, repelling Zhu Zhuqing's cat claws. She glared at Tang San on the beach, “You're the bad guy. Not even a single tender thought of a fairer one. Very cruel . My flute song is very good. ”
Although he said that, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's expressions had darkened. When the nine spirit rings appeared on the black flute, they knew they were falling into a trap right now. If they really let the Sea Witch play, no one knew what would happen next.
Sea Witch did not seem to mind getting caught in the slightest. His figure detached while dodging and blocking Zhu Zhuqing's attack at the same time. He spoke slightly in an urgent tone, “Female sister, don't listen to that bad guy. Just listen to my song. That's very nice . ”
Zhu Zhuqing did not notice him, but her mind gradually filled up. This Sea Mage did not use much to block his attacks, and he appeared to be a Spirit Tool Master. The difficulty of this challenge will be extraordinary.
Under the rain of Zhu Zhuqing's attack, the Sea Witch was somehow displeased and curled her lips, "This big brother, how can you be like this? You girls. Why are you so rude like them. But I won't blame you anymore. Has tone. ”
While saying that, the Sea Witch's body slipped in an instant, dodging Zhu Zhuqing's cat claw, leaping backwards and falling towards the sea.
Zhu Zhuqing was not going to let his opponent leave so easily, so he chased fiercely. The third spirit skill of Hell Execution erupted in an instant. Using Ning Rongrong's attack speed and attack, even when this was only his third spirit skill, for a fast attack spirit master, having this speed also meant an increase in greater attack power.
A black figure in the air chased after the Sea Witch in the middle of backflipping, but everyone on the beach heard the sound of a bell ringing, "Sister, you must like it. ”
A strange wave loop extended from the Sea Witch, covering Zhu Zhuqing and himself then completely shutting off Ning Rongrong's fans by force. The Sea Witch moved in the air three feet horizontally and dodged Zhu Zhuqing's attack. As soon as the toes landed on the surface of the sea water, the two legs turned back into fish tails. With a twisting motion, the huge fish tail smashed into the falling Zhu Zhuqing.
At this point, Dai Mubai was extremely worried. He could tell that the attack and the explosive power of the Sea Witch were not very good, but the skills were varied and numerous. Praising his thoughts of reading and seeing people who would easily fall in love, he firmly controlled Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
Just then, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly disappeared as the Sea Witch swam into the air with a wave of distortion behind the fishtail. His clear eyes had a trace of fear, indicating that he did not understand why this would happen. Zhu Zhuqing's mind could understand the thought of reading, but everything before him happened too quickly.
Of course Zhu Zhuqing would not disappear for real, because when the fishtail slammed him, his body split open. Correct . It was separated into dozens of figures scattered in the air. Each figure looked real, and using the surface of the sea water, they attacked the Sea Witch at the same time. What he used was his own fourth spirit skill, the Hell Shadow Doppelganger. Just then, Ning Rongrong on the beach side did not apply the buff in a hurry, but flashed and hid behind the sacred pillar.
The situation had changed, and the speed of the Sea Witch adaptation was extremely fast. Facing a multi-directional attack, his body suddenly shot upwards, instead of dodging. With a plop, he disappeared into the sea water.
Zhu Zhuqing's mind was definitely affected by mind reading, but Tang San's telepathy managed to make him change. From Tang San's voice to Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Shadow Doppelganger, it was only the blink of an eye but the Sea Witch could not feel anything for just a moment.
"Rongrong, careful!" Zhu Zhuqing shouted as he headed towards the holy pillar from the air.
