Challenge succeeded!
Successfully completed the trial.
Hu Liena also received a reward, her soul power increased by another level.
Hu Liena's face was a bit pale due to the excessive use of her soul power.
But it was all worth it.
She walked up to Su Bai and smiled weakly, "Brother Bai, I won. I defeated a Titled Douluo!"
Seeing the slightly staggering Hu Liena, Su Bai directly pulled her into his arms.
He gently stroked her cheek with a smile, "Nana, you've always worked very hard. You deserve this."
Although Ning Rongrong's assistance played a significant role in this victory,
Hu Liena's own efforts were also indispensable.
From going to the City of Slaughter, overcoming countless difficulties to obtain the Slaughter God Domain,
to her persistent hard work afterward, Su Bai had seen it all.
Even participating in the divine trials, Hu Liena had been very diligent.
She almost never needed Su Bai's help to complete the earlier trials.
This time was no different.
Being able to defeat a Titled Douluo, Hu Liena felt very proud.
From now on, she had the qualification to always stand by Su Bai's side.
Everything was worth it.
Moreover, her current achievements were all because of Su Bai.
Thus, Hu Liena felt not only love but also deep gratitude towards Su Bai.
Without Su Bai, there would be no her as she was now.
Imagine, her brother Xie Yue and their contemporary Yan were now just Soul Emperors.
While she had already become a Soul Douluo.
The difference was not trivial.
Therefore, she was very fortunate to have become Su Bai's woman.
Hu Liena, moved by his words, took the initiative to kiss Su Bai.
Faced with a beauty's kiss, Su Bai naturally didn't hold back.
He responded immediately.
He even instinctively slipped his hand inside Hu Liena's clothes.
The surrounding women blushed at Su Bai's bold behavior.
It was broad daylight, and there were others around.
This guy was so shameless.
Fortunately, Su Bai still knew his limits.
After getting a bit of a feel, he released Hu Liena.
At this moment,
the other women came forward to congratulate Hu Liena: "Nana, congratulations on successfully completing the fifth trial."
"Congratulations!"
"Nana, you're amazing!"
Hu Liena, also happy, said, "I believe you can do it too."
The other women nodded repeatedly.
Back in the courtyard,
Su Bai glanced at the women and then fixed his gaze on Bai Chenxiang.
He said, "According to the order, it's Xiangxiang's turn next, right?"
Bai Chenxiang nodded.
But her face was a bit stiff.
The other women also looked at her with some concern.
Su Bai was also a bit troubled.
Bai Chenxiang's soul power was only at the Soul King level. Even with Ning Rongrong's assistance, defeating a Soul Douluo was almost impossible.
Hu Liena comforted her, "Xiangxiang, don't worry. I believe in you. You can do it."
Ning Rongrong also reassured her, "Yes, Nana is right. With my support, you have a good chance."
Zhu Zhuqing quietly kicked Ning Rongrong.
She thought, "Do you even know how to talk? What do you mean by 'a good chance'? Are you implying that she can't win?"
Ning Rongrong realized her mistake and playfully stuck out her tongue.
Bai Chenxiang smiled bitterly, "Rongrong is right. My chances of winning aren't great, but don't worry."
"But, I'll still try my best."
Seeing Bai Chenxiang's resolve, the women felt relieved.
Su Bai held Bai Chenxiang's hand and smiled, "Xiangxiang, you don't need to worry at all. Even if you don't pass, I'll figure something out."
Hearing Su Bai's words, Bai Chenxiang felt much more at ease.
The next day,
everyone rested for a day.
Then they headed to the trial location.
Bai Chenxiang's opponent was Sea Ghost Douluo.
Like Seahorse Douluo, he was also one of the Sacred Pillar Guardians.
As soon as the women approached, Sea Ghost Douluo said, "I already know your intentions. Follow me!"
Led by Seahorse Douluo, everyone arrived at the training ground.
On the training ground,
Sea Ghost Douluo asked, "Who will challenge me?"
The women looked at Bai Chenxiang.
Bai Chenxiang took a deep breath and stepped onto the training ground.
Sea Ghost Douluo said, "According to Sea God's instructions, your soul power level seems quite low. The Sea God requires me not to use soul skills and to limit my soul power to that of a Soul Douluo."
Hearing Sea Ghost Douluo's words, everyone sighed in relief.
Not using soul skills gave Bai Chenxiang a significant chance.
But they couldn't be careless.
A Titled Douluo had extensive combat experience.
And being able to use soul power alone wasn't easy to handle.
Fortunately, with Ning Rongrong's support, Bai Chenxiang still had a good chance.
But the key issue was Bai Chenxiang's lack of offensive abilities.
Only her fifth soul skill had attack power.
The rest were support skills.
This made it very difficult.
"Xiangxiang, you can do it!"
"Xiangxiang, you will win."
The women cheered for Bai Chenxiang.
Bai Chenxiang nodded to them.
She then looked at Su Bai.
Su Bai also nodded back.
Encouraged by Su Bai, Bai Chenxiang's eyes became more determined.
Hu Liena playfully remarked to Su Bai, "Brother Bai, it seems your words are more effective. We all cheered for Xiangxiang, but your nod had the most impact."
The other women nodded in agreement.
Su Bai laughed, "Oh, Nana, are you jealous?"
"Is that a problem?"
Hu Liena admitted frankly.
Hey!
Seeing this,
Su Bai smirked, "Looks like you need another lesson tonight."
"I'm not afraid!"
Hu Liena placed her hands on her hips and challenged him.
"Nana, you're asking for it!"
Su Bai laughed in exasperation.
This girl had clearly forgotten her recent pleas for mercy.
Under his relentless advances and discipline, her cries for mercy had been quite loud.
But it hadn't been long, and she was challenging him again?
It seemed more lessons were needed.
Su Bai decided.
Next time, even if Hu Liena begged for mercy, he wouldn't let her off easily.
She needed to learn that challenging him wasn't so simple.
"You can start now!"
Like Seahorse Douluo, Sea Ghost Douluo allowed Bai Chenxiang to make the first move.
Bai Chenxiang softly called, "Martial Soul Possession!"
Immediately, the Undying God Flame appeared.
Bai Chenxiang's soul ring configuration also appeared.
Two yellow, two purple, one black.
A total of five soul rings.
Hmm?
Seeing Bai Chenxiang's soul power level, Sea Ghost Douluo was a bit surprised.
He thought the Sea God was exaggerating her low power level but didn't expect her to be just a Soul King.
This,
Even without using soul skills and limiting his soul power to a Soul Douluo's level,
how could a Soul King be his opponent?
If he lost, he wouldn't be worthy of being a Titled Douluo or a Sacred Pillar Guardian.
Indeed,
Sea Ghost Douluo underestimated Bai Chenxiang.
After all, a Soul King defeating a Titled Douluo, even with restrictions, was nearly impossible.
