Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

"Three distinguished guests, during the trial, do not push yourselves if things become impossible. As long as you quickly retreat from the Seagod Mountain, you will naturally not suffer any harm. The Seagod's Light is probably the only not-so-dangerous trial among your future tests. So, you don't need to have too many concerns," the purple-robed Soul Master beside them reminded.

Li Chang'an smiled and nodded, offering his thanks.

Then, he reached out and put his arms around the waists of the two women, and a gentle breeze condensed into wings of wind behind him, gently flapping. He soared into the air, heading straight for the Ring Sea.

The Ring Sea is about two hundred meters wide, and the waves in the sea are not large. Although it is called a sea, it is actually a ring-shaped lake. Of course, the water here is still seawater. It's just unknown how it enters the island.

As the three flew over the Ring Sea, a faint light emerged from each of them. Dugu Yan and Xue Ke were enveloped in red light, while Li Chang'an was enveloped in a faint golden light, identical to the light that stabilized during the assessment.

In a few breaths, Li Chang'an carried the two women across the two-hundred-meter-wide Ring Sea and reached the opposite shore.

Now, the steps leading to the Seagod Mountain were close at hand, and a sense of majesty and solemnity permeated the surroundings!

After landing, he released his hold on the two women, and the wings of wind behind him dissipated.

'Seagod's Light... I wonder how much this trial will help me now,' Li Chang'an thought to himself, gazing at the long staircase before him.

His current physique is much stronger than Tang San's at this stage in the original story. The first trial probably won't be of much help to him. But although he doesn't need it, this first trial is still very necessary for Dugu Yan and Xue Ke. Consider it a workout with my girlfriends.

"Let's go."

With that, he took the lead and walked forward. Dugu Yan and Xue Ke followed closely behind, heading towards the stairs.

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs.

Li Chang'an felt like he had bumped into a resilient wall. The so-called Seagod's Light could be seen as an overbearing shield, capable of deflecting any physical or energy attacks.

When climbing the stairs, one cannot use any skills. Otherwise, one will immediately suffer backlash.

Trying to climb the steps while enduring such a shield, the difficulty is imaginable.

After feeling the obstruction, Li Chang'an only paused slightly before continuing to walk up the steps as if nothing had happened. The higher he went, the greater the pressure from the Seagod's Light!

When he stood on the first step, he immediately felt an enormous pressure overwhelming him, squeezing his body as if pressing a finger into a balloon, with the dented balloon trying to push the finger out.

A layer of golden mist appeared around his body, and it was this mist that brought him pressure. This was the so-called Seagod's Light.

However, Dugu Yan and Xue Ke behind Li Chang'an could not be as nonchalant as he was, but they were not blocked by the first step.

Li Chang'an endured the pressure and took his second step. When he stepped onto the second step, the pressure increased again, about ten percent more than when he stepped on the first step.

This time, he continued to step onto the higher steps without stopping. Dugu Yan and Xue Ke followed closely behind, but they were slightly slower than him. In this way, Li Chang'an walked to the seventieth step in one breath before stopping. He looked back, and Dugu Yan and Xue Ke were now stopped at the 20th and 17th steps respectively.

This was not their limit, they were just resting temporarily to adapt to the pressure. After resting enough, they could climb higher.

Li Chang'an turned his gaze back to the front. Enduring the heavy pressure, he continued to climb upwards!

Eighty steps, ninety steps...

The two soul cores in his body operated at high speed, and the surging soul power was endless, supporting him all the way!

In the blink of an eye, he stepped onto the three hundred and thirty-third step in front of the forbidden area!

Instantly, the surrounding pressure dissipated completely.

Seagod Nine Trials - First Trial passed!

"Chang'an-gege, so amazing!"

"I can't fall behind too much!"

On the steps below, Dugu Yan and Xue Ke, seeing their beloved climb so high so easily, were also aroused with a spirit of not admitting defeat.

They urged the soul power in their bodies, gritted their silver teeth, and climbed upwards!

After Li Chang'an walked out of the Seagod's Light's range, accompanied by a familiar voice from afar, Poseidon's figure appeared again, but this time she appeared on the steps leading to the Seagod Temple.

"Unexpectedly, you passed so quickly. It seems that this first trial is of no use to you," Poseidon walked down slowly, her eyes filled with complexity, but she didn't seem surprised.

"The Seagod's Light here has enormous pressure, which can squeeze the challenger's soul power and cause it to be greatly consumed. Under the effect of this pressure, the challenger's cultivation speed will have a multiplier effect. At the same time, it will constantly enhance the body's ability to resist pressure."

"Therefore, the meaning of the Seagod's Light as the first trial is not to make things difficult for the challenger, but to give the challenger an opportunity to enhance their own strength. Normally speaking, only by using the Seagod's Light to improve one's strength as much as possible in this first year, is it possible to pass the later trials.

Therefore, normal challengers should not only not complete this trial in advance, but also delay the completion time until the last day, so that the Seagod's Light can bring the greatest benefits."

Speaking of this, Poseidon looked at Li Chang'an, who had successfully passed the first trial. She said helplessly, "But now it seems that this first trial is dispensable for you."

Although she had sensed Li Chang'an's strength before, after he canceled his Martial Soul Avatar and returned to normal, Poseidon also understood that it was not his own strength, but a temporary buff.

As a result, she didn't expect that even without that exaggerated buff, Li Chang'an's own strength was so impressive.

After sighing, Poseidon said: "You have passed the first trial. You can obtain a God-given Soul Ring bestowed by Lord Seagod. Without needing to hunt soul beasts, the God-given Soul Ring will grant you the most needed soul skill and the maximum level soul ring you can withstand. Carefully feel it, and use your greatest perseverance to withstand the baptism of the God-given Soul Ring in order to obtain the greatest benefits."

After speaking.

Poseidon raised her right hand, palm up, revealing a golden bead. The golden bead seemed to be carved from the most precious golden crystal, transparent and flawless. The most peculiar thing was that in this bead, there was a layer of faint golden mist constantly fluctuating, just like the golden mist that appeared around the body when enduring the pressure of the Seagod's Light.

With a flash of golden light, the golden bead flew out and slowly came above Li Chang'an's head. Poseidon flicked her finger, and with a soft pop, the bead shattered above his head!

Immediately, a thick golden mist poured down and enveloped his body.
