"Let me give it a try too!"
Seeing the complaints from the women, Su Bai also wanted to give it a shot.
In his previous life, when reading the original story, the Shrek Seven Devils spent almost a year completing this trial.
Tang San almost died when he reached the final step.
Su Bai was curious to see if the Sea God's Light was as strong as it was said to be.
He stepped forward.
"Go for it, Brother Bai, you're the best."
Ning Rongrong clenched her fists, cheering for Su Bai.
"Brother Bai, you can do it!"
"Brother Bai, you will definitely succeed."
The women also cheered for Su Bai.
Su Bai smiled slightly.
He approached the steps and took the first step.
Immediately, his expression turned strange.
Logically, as someone undergoing the Sea God Nine Trials, the pressure from the Sea God's Light should be even greater than that on the women.
It should be stronger than the enhanced version.
Yet now, he didn't feel any pressure at all.
Could it be that he was just too strong?
Su Bai couldn't help but think this.
Suppressing this thought, he continued to climb.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Su Bai effortlessly climbed up to the 300th step in one go.
At this point, Su Bai finally began to feel some pressure.
But it wasn't very strong, just noticeable.
"Brother Bai, you're amazing, you climbed three hundred steps in one go."
Ning Rongrong looked at Su Bai with admiration.
Even Xiao Wu, as strong as she was, had to rest several times to reach this height.
But Su Bai reached it in one go.
And he didn't even break a sweat.
He was too strong.
No wonder he was their man.
The other women were also eagerly watching.
They were curious to see how high Su Bai could climb.
Su Bai didn't stop and continued upward.
Before long,
Su Bai reached the 500th step.
The pressure increased again, but only slightly.
Su Bai could still easily withstand it with just his physical strength.
He kept going.
In no time, he reached the 800th step.
The pressure increased again, and Su Bai's steps became heavier.
But only a little heavier.
He was still relaxed.
"Dad is so strong."
Su Renxue couldn't help but marvel.
When she first took the trial, she barely reached the 100th step.
She was praised at the time.
But Su Bai reached the 800th step in one go.
And he seemed determined to keep going.
She had a thought.
Could her dad complete the trial in one go?
No wonder he was her father; his strength was incredible.
Su Renxue felt proud.
Hu Liena echoed, "Looks like Brother Bai wants to complete the trial in one go."
The women nodded.
They were no longer surprised by Su Bai's performance.
After all, their man was the strongest.
Such excellent performance was expected.
While the women discussed, Su Bai reached the top.
A total of 1001 steps.
Su Bai successfully reached the summit.
He looked ahead.
There stood a magnificent palace.
That was the Sea God's Temple.
Poseidon was there.
[Prompt: Sea God's First Trial completed, overachieved, Sea God affinity +15%.]
At this moment, a prompt appeared in Su Bai's mind.
Su Bai was slightly stunned.
Is that it?
He had thought the Sea God Nine Trials would be much harder.
In the original story, Tang San nearly died to reach the top.
But now, he only spent a little bit of physical strength, without even using his soul power, to reach the top.
The difference was clear.
But this was also because Su Bai was too strong.
For others, it wouldn't be so easy.
Take his wives, for example.
On their first attempt, except for Xiao Wu, they couldn't even reach 100 steps.
So, it wasn't that the Sea God's Light was weak, but that Su Bai was too strong.
Strong enough to make this level of trial feel as simple as eating or drinking.
Thinking of this, Su Bai flew back down to the starting point.
As soon as he landed, a pink figure jumped on him.
She wrapped her long legs around his waist.
It was Xiao Wu.
"Brother Bai, you're amazing! You did it in one go."
Ning Rongrong also came over and hugged Su Bai's arm, asking, "Brother Bai, what reward did you get for passing the trial?"
Su Bai shook his head, indicating nothing.
Sea God affinity wasn't much to him.
It seemed like only his soul power increased slightly.
To him, it felt like nothing.
The system's rewards were usually tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.
This little reward was negligible.
So, it was as if there was no reward.
Su Renxue was puzzled, "It shouldn't be. When I completed the trial, I gained a lot of soul power."
Zhu Zhuqing added, "While climbing, I felt my soul power increasing slowly. It must be the benefit of the Sea God's Light."
The women nodded in agreement. They all felt it.
Su Bai smiled, "Maybe because my strength is too high, the slight improvement isn't noticeable."
Hearing this, the women nodded naturally.
Su Bai's strength was unquestionable.
Since they became his women, they had never seen anyone who could match him.
In their hearts, Su Bai was invincible.
So, they fully agreed with Su Bai's humble statement.
"What now?"
After chatting for a while, Ning Rongrong asked.
She was asking if they should continue the trial or go back.
Bai Chenxiang suddenly raised her hand, "I plan to try again."
Among the women, her performance was the worst.
Her cultivation was also the lowest.
She didn't want to fall too far behind the others.
So, she decided to work harder.
Though she wanted to spend more time with Su Bai,
She knew Su Bai was destined to reach the top of the Douluo Continent and even the Divine Realm.
She didn't want to be left behind, only able to look up to him.
So, she wanted to improve her strength as much as possible.
Zhu Zhuqing agreed, "I want to stay too. I think my cultivation speed here will be much faster."
"Zhuqing is right. I also feel that my cultivation speed has increased a lot on the steps."
Hu Liena nodded in agreement.
"You are right."
Su Bai explained, "The Sea God's Light, despite its pressure, greatly helps improve your strength."
"The pressure creates motivation. Training under strong pressure leads to the fastest improvement."
The women nodded in agreement.
Even the usually playful Ning Rongrong planned to stay and train.
But she had a question.
She looked at Su Bai and asked, "What about you, Brother Bai?"
Although it was for training, she still wanted Su Bai to stay with them.
But since Su Bai had completed the trial, his training speed wasn't significant.
So, she asked.
Su Bai smiled, "Me? Of course, I'll stay with you all."
"That's great!"
