Xiao Wu swiftly moved towards Xiao Bai, intending to directly confront her without worrying about the other sea soul beasts.
Seeing this, Xiao Bai snorted coldly, "Hmph, although you're related to Xiaoxue, I can't go easy on you for the sake of Lord Sea God."
As she spoke, Xiao Bai swung her massive tail, aiming to strike Xiao Wu.
The giant tail swept towards Xiao Wu, who smirked slightly.
"Third soul skill, Teleportation!"
Swish~
Xiao Wu's figure disappeared and reappeared behind Xiao Bai.
"Not a chance~"
Xiao Bai growled, twisting her body to swing her tail in a 180-degree turn towards Xiao Wu again.
But Xiao Wu didn't panic; instead, she wore a cunning smile.
Facing the rapidly approaching tail, Xiao Wu shouted, "Fourth soul skill, Invincible Golden Body!"
Smack~
A golden shield appeared around Xiao Wu, and Xiao Bai's tail struck it, sending Xiao Wu flying.
This was all part of Xiao Wu's plan.
She used the force of Xiao Bai's attack to propel herself towards the stone platform at the end.
"Thank you, Xiao Bai!" Xiao Wu cheerfully thanked her as she flew towards the goal.
"Not good!" Xiao Bai finally realized Xiao Wu's true intentions.
She had thought Xiao Wu would use her teleportation to dodge, but instead, Xiao Wu aimed to use Xiao Bai's attack as a boost.
By the time Xiao Bai understood, it was too late.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu reached the goal and completed the trial.
The girls stared at Xiao Wu in disbelief.
Ning Rongrong, in particular, was stunned, "Is this really Xiao Wu?"
In Ning Rongrong's mind, Xiao Wu never seemed to use her brain for anything.
Not that she was unintelligent, but she never needed to think much.
With her immense strength and Su Bai always there to protect her, Xiao Wu had always been carefree.
Her image in Ning Rongrong's mind was someone who acted on impulse without much thought—a pure, innocent person like a blank sheet of paper.
Ning Rongrong envied her for that.
But now, Xiao Wu had used a strategy? She understood how to use Xiao Bai to pass?
It was unbelievable.
The other girls felt the same. Today's Xiao Wu was truly impressive.
Only Su Bai wasn't surprised.
Xiao Wu was always smart.
She was just usually too lazy to think much.
Since meeting Su Bai, he had protected her well.
She never had to worry about such things.
But now, with the assessment requiring no external help, Xiao Wu's intelligence shone through.
No wonder Ning Rongrong was so shocked.
At this moment,
Xiao Wu returned and heard Ning Rongrong's words.
Feeling indignant, she said, "Hey, Rongrong, do you think I'm stupid?"
Ning Rongrong quickly shook her head, "Of course not, it's just the first time I've seen you..."
Su Bai laughed, "Rongrong is just not used to seeing you like this. But I've always known my Xiao Wu is very smart."
Hehe~
Hearing Su Bai's praise, Xiao Wu's eyes crinkled with happiness.
She jumped at Su Bai, clinging to him.
Her long legs wrapped tightly around Su Bai's waist.
"Brother Su Bai understands me best."
Su Bai gently tapped her nose, smiling, "I'm your man. If I don't understand you, who will?"
Mwah~
Xiao Wu happily kissed Su Bai.
The other girls rolled their eyes.
They were still there, and Su Bai and Xiao Wu were shamelessly showing off their love.
Did they think the others wouldn't get jealous?
Zhu Zhuqing curiously asked, "Xiao Wu, what reward did you get?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Wu, curious about the reward.
Xiao Wu casually replied, "It's nothing, just like the first trial, all my spirit rings' ages increased by ten thousand years."
Gasp~
Another ten thousand years?
The girls were once again stunned.
Such generous rewards.
But Xiao Wu seemed unsatisfied?
They wanted such rewards badly.
At this moment,
Xiao Wu said to Su Bai, "Brother Bai, you should try. With your strength, it should be easy."
"Sure~" Su Bai smiled and nodded.
Xiao Wu slid off him.
Su Bai approached the edge of the platform.
Xiao Bai huffed, "Come on then. Even though you're Xiaoxue's father, I won't let you pass easily."
Still upset about being outsmarted by Xiao Wu, Xiao Bai wanted to vent her frustration on Su Bai.
Su Bai smiled, unfazed by Xiao Bai's words.
Not using spirit power and not harming any sea soul beasts, huh?
Su Bai nodded internally.
He bent down, gathered his strength, and leaped into the air.
Su Bai flew through the air quickly.
Xiao Bai waited in the sea for Su Bai.
After a while, Xiao Bai's expression changed.
The watching girls also had strange expressions.
Su Bai didn't fall like Xiao Wu; he was still flying in the air.
Xiao Bai was dumbfounded.
Ning Rongrong stammered, "Is Brother Bai planning to jump directly to the goal?"
Gulp~
The girls swallowed hard.
They nodded in agreement.
It seemed that's what Su Bai intended.
Such strength! Was he even human?
Jumping such a distance directly?
Oh right, Brother Bai isn't human; he's a soul beast.
But still, it was too incredible!
While they were in shock, Su Bai reached the goal.
[Notice: Sea God Nine Trials, Second Trial completed. Reward: Sea God Affinity 15%, current 30%.]
That's it?
Su Bai leaped back to the starting point, shaking his head slightly.
His strength was too overwhelming.
He hadn't expected it to be so easy.
But then again, for him, it was nothing.
Xiao Bai gritted her teeth in frustration.
Su Bai's method was too much.
But there was nothing she could do.
Su Bai was too strong. Even without such a method, she couldn't have stopped him.
But it was different for the others.
Their strength wasn't as high, so passing wouldn't be easy.
Xiao Bai decided to take her frustration out on Hu Liena and the others.
"Brother Bai, you're amazing!" Ning Rongrong praised before pouting, "But it won't be that easy for us."
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was blocking their way, and they couldn't attack.
It was going to be very difficult.
The girls agreed with Ning Rongrong.
Su Bai smiled and reassured them, "Don't lose heart. Although the trial is tough, it's also a great opportunity for you. Keep it up!"
