Soul Land: Bibi Dong Is My Martial Soul-Chapter 195: A Displeased Bo Saixi

"My Black-Level Five Trials are complete!"

The most excited person was Ye Lingling. Her assessment only included five trials, and this last one marked their end.

After receiving her rewards, her soul power rose to Level 64.

Ning Rongrong also reached Level 71, and every one of her spirit rings was rewarded with an additional 500 years in age.

As for Su Mo—still the same as always. Besides a boost in Sea God Affinity, he received no other rewards.

Then came the sixth trial of the Sea God's Nine Trials.

Because Su Mo hadn't used any underhanded means during the fifth trial, the sixth trial remained unchanged.

It required him to endure a full incense stick's time under the joint assault of the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians.

Don't think that just because Su Mo could beat them individually, he would find this easy.

Seven Title Douluo, all powerful in their own right, joining forces... Even a Level 99 Peerless Douluo wouldn't necessarily come out on top.

Of course, this excluded Bo Saixi, who—on the sea—could borrow endless oceanic power. Outside of gods, no one could rival her in such an environment.

So for Su Mo and Ning Rongrong, their challenge wasn't to defeat the guardians—but to survive their combined assault for one incense stick.

When using their Fusion Technique, they barely managed to hang on.

In fact, during the last tenth of the incense stick, Su Mo and Ning Rongrong could no longer endure the pressure.

They had to exit their fused state, and Su Mo relied on his teleportation abilities to keep them both out of harm's way, narrowly hanging on until the end.

He'd nearly resorted to teleporting them back to the mainland and returning when time was up.

It was borderline cheating.

Still, they managed to pass.

[Total Sea God Affinity: 70%.]

"Congratulations on completing the sixth trial."

Bo Saixi once again appeared as they finished the test.

Looking at Su Mo and Ning Rongrong, she felt a strange swirl of emotions.

It had only been a few days, and Su Mo had completed two trials in a row.

At this rate, he'd finish the Sea God's Nine Trials very soon—leaving her little time.

The thought filled her with sorrow and resentment.

But she had no right or ability to interfere with Su Mo's trials.

Even if she wanted to, she couldn't stop him—only watch as he advanced step by step.

"Your seventh trial is simple: pull out the divine weapon left by Lord Sea God—the Sea God Trident."

"But... completing it won't be that easy."

"Even with Ning Rongrong's assistance."

"You've just finished two trials in a row. Rest for a while. Recover and prepare, then come to the Sea God Hall when you're ready."

After giving them her instructions, Bo Saixi left again.

"She seems... kind of unhappy," Ning Rongrong said softly, tugging on Su Mo's sleeve.

"How could that be? You must be imagining things, Rongrong," Su Mo replied with a chuckle.

Of course, Su Mo knew exactly why Bo Saixi was upset.

But there was no need for Ning Rongrong to know—otherwise she'd only worry.

Su Mo had always been wary of Bo Saixi.

His main concern had been the sixth trial.

According to the original story, Tang San's sixth trial was to endure Bo Saixi's attacks for one incense stick—and Bo Saixi had intended to kill him.

Though she failed, the intention had been there.

Whether it was out of fear of Tang Chen or not, Su Mo wasn't sure—but the threat had been real.

That's why he had worried he might face Bo Saixi himself.

Fortunately, his sixth trial had been straightforward, and Bo Saixi never got the chance.

As for the seventh trial—Su Mo already knew it would involve pulling out the Sea God Trident.

The eighth and ninth trials would be custom-tailored by the Sea God himself. What they entailed was still unknown.

Having just cleared two trials, Su Mo didn't rush into the next.

He spent the following days relaxing with Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling on the island, letting go of all tension.

Only after they'd had some time to unwind did Su Mo bring the two of them up Sea God Mountain to the Sea God Hall.

Ye Lingling's trials were already complete, so she had no further obligations.

But it was fine for her to come along and observe.

Bo Saixi didn't object to Ye Lingling's presence—her silence was tacit approval.

"You're here?"

"Looks like you're ready for the seventh trial."

"In that case, follow me."

Bo Saixi turned and led them inside.

Deep within the Sea God Hall, she brought them before a divine throne.

And in front of that throne—

A golden trident stood tall.

It radiated overwhelming divine might, making one instinctively bow in awe.

Su Mo's gaze was instantly captured.

Strictly speaking, the Sea God Trident was a spear-type weapon—making it perfectly suited for Su Mo.

Because Su Mo's martial soul was also a spear, he couldn't help but wonder—could he refine the Sea God Trident into his own spirit weapon?

Even if he couldn't, integrating it with his martial soul through Spirit Weapon Fusion would already be incredible.

The top-grade spear Su Mo forged from meteorite iron was nearly ready to be fully refined into his soul. But once that was done, it would be difficult to find another suitable weapon.

This Sea God Trident... was perfect.

"This is the Sea God Trident. It weighs 108,000 jin," Bo Saixi introduced reverently. "You may begin at any time."

"Understood, High Priestess," Su Mo nodded, then stepped forward.

Without hesitation, he reached out and grasped the Sea God Trident.

Buzz—

The moment his hand touched the trident, a formless ripple exploded outward.

Su Mo instantly realized—while his body remained in place, holding the trident, his soul had been drawn into a mysterious undersea space.

There, deep beneath the sea, stood a colossal Sea God Trident, its tip disappearing into the void above. Massive chains wrapped around it, anchoring it to the ocean floor.

In this state, Su Mo felt as though he had split into two beings.

His body was still outside, trying to lift the trident, while his soul now clutched the chains within the undersea illusion, trying to pull the divine weapon free.

He exerted force—but even with his full strength and no soul skills, the trident didn't budge.

"Nine Treasures Turn Out with Glazed Light! Nine Layers, Nine Colors—Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body!"

Seeing that Su Mo had begun the trial, Ning Rongrong didn't hesitate. She summoned her martial soul and fully buffed Su Mo.

Boom—

With Ning Rongrong's support, Su Mo unleashed his full strength.

"Killing God Domain!"

"Time-Space Domain!"

"Eight Spider Lances!"

He activated everything he had.

Because he realized—the Sea God Trident wasn't something that could be pulled out with brute strength alone.

Buzz—

Only after using every ability did the trident show a faint tremble.

But that was it.

It still didn't rise.

Boom—

And then, as it began to move slightly, searing heat surged through the trident, scorching Su Mo's hands.

He instinctively wanted to let go—but he held firm.

Because he knew—if he released it, the trial would fail.

Pulling out the trident wasn't just about strength.

It was about earning its recognition. And the searing pain was part of that trial.

With Su Mo's physique, normal fire damage wouldn't affect him.

"Ahhh—!"

Su Mo gritted his teeth, enduring the burning pain that had already spread through his body.

His expression twisted—not from acting, but from sheer pain. The trident's heat was beginning to overwhelm him.

Still, he never let go. His willpower held fast.

Buzz—

While struggling, Su Mo summoned the Vast Sea Universe Shield, also known as the Sea God's Heart, from his forehead. He let its power envelop him.

As soon as the Sea God's Heart appeared, the trident trembled again—this time, almost joyfully.

Then, to everyone's shock, the Sea God's Heart flew from Su Mo's brow and embedded itself into the head of the trident.

Click.

It fit perfectly—as if it belonged there all along.

Buzz—

The moment the fusion completed, Su Mo felt the trident's weight ease. The unbearable heat disappeared as well.

Boom—

And just like that—the 108,000-jin Sea God Trident was pulled free by Su Mo.

"He did it! Su Mo pulled it out!"

Watching from below, Ye Lingling jumped with joy.

"We did it!" Ning Rongrong exhaled deeply and smiled as she withdrew her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Bo Saixi watched silently... and clenched her teeth.

Even the Sea God Trident had accepted Su Mo.

This meant Su Mo was now one step closer to completing the Nine Trials.

She could only pray the final two trials, designed by the Sea God himself, would be more difficult.

Ideally—impossible.

But she knew that was wishful thinking.

Putting aside her personal feelings, she had to admit Su Mo was indeed remarkable—worthy of the Sea God's recognition.

So most likely, the Sea God wouldn't assign him any truly impossible task.

Still, she hoped the remaining trials wouldn't be so easily cleared.

If nothing else, she wished they would at least... take some time.
