Douluo: When the piano sounds, the hidden weapon returns to the factory

After spending two days resting with everyone in Seahorse City, Feng Yao settled Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong in a secluded residence provided by Seahorse Douluo. He instructed them to adapt to the island's environment and try to understand their own assessment content. Then, Feng Yao and Qian Renxue did not delay for a moment and went straight to the forbidden area of ​​Seagod Island—Seagod Mountain.

The two found a platform facing the sea, where the energy was most abundant. The oppressive aura of Mount Poseidon was heavy, but for the two who were under divine testing, it actually helped to concentrate their minds.

Sitting cross-legged opposite each other, Feng Yao and Qian Renxue both had extremely solemn expressions.

"Let's begin," Feng Yao said in a deep voice.

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and took the lead in activating the angelic power within her. Holy golden light emanated from her body, condensing behind her into the phantom of a six-winged angel. A warm, intense, and sacred aura carrying the meaning of purification and judgment spread out, illuminating the platform in a magnificent light.

Almost simultaneously, Feng Yao also circulated his soul power, attempting to communicate with the ocean power that was mysteriously connected to his qualification for the Nine Trials of the Sea God. A faint azure halo emerged from his body, resonating with the energy of the surrounding Sea God Island. A vast, profound, and inclusive aura, yet carrying boundless pressure, slowly rose, standing in opposition to the golden holy light.

However, just as these two equally powerful but vastly different divine forces approached each other, attempting to make contact—

"Buzz!"

A violent repulsive force suddenly erupted!
At the point where the golden and blue light met, an invisible explosion seemed to occur, the energy violently distorted, and a piercing buzzing sound was emitted! The holy angelic power and the vast power of the sea god met like water and fire, colliding and annihilating each other wildly, completely incompatible!

Two distinct divine wills, seemingly endowed with life and form, condensed in the void into majestic phantoms—one a holy angel shrouded in holy light, wielding judgment; the other a god whose waves surged, ruling the vast ocean.

They confronted each other, colliding with a deafening roar. Their surging divine power was unyielding, as if they had been destined to be enemies since ancient times, neither willing to lower its proud head to the other.

Feng Yao and Qian Renxue both shuddered, their faces paling slightly, and they were forced to stop outputting their divine power.

First attempt, failed.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes. The repulsive force was far stronger than they had anticipated.

"Again!" Feng Yao's eyes were sharp, showing no sign of discouragement.

They calmed themselves down again, this time even more cautiously, trying to control an extremely weak wisp of divine power, slowly extending it like a thread, attempting to find even the slightest possibility of coexistence.

But the result remained the same.

Even the slightest force, once it comes into contact, will trigger a violent conflict, as if their origins are destined to be incompatible.

Tried again and again, failed again and again.

On the platform, golden and blue light erupted in fierce clashes, only to vanish quickly. Both men's faces gradually paled, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. The backlash from the clash of divine power, even if only a tiny bit, would accumulate and cause considerable discomfort.

As the sun sets, it turns the sea a deep crimson, but the two people on the platform remain trapped in their initial predicament.

Qian Renxue opened her eyes, her golden eyes filled with weariness and frustration: "No... The two divine powers have completely opposite attributes. The power of the angels pursues purity and purification, while the power of the sea god is inclusive and vast, but their 'purity' and 'inclusiveness' are inherently mutually exclusive."

Feng Yao slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his brows furrowed. He recalled Poseidon's words and the name of the "Blue Gold Test"—"The Resonance of the Sky and the Sea."

“Resonance…” he murmured to himself, a flash of inspiration crossing his mind. “No, purity and inclusiveness are not contradictory. Perhaps… we were wrong from the start. Forcing a fusion is like trying to make water and fire coexist, which is naturally extremely difficult. What if we don’t pursue fusion first, but try to find out if they can produce some kind of… resonance? Just like different musical instruments, even if their timbres are different, they can still produce harmonious sounds.”

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes lit up slightly: "You mean... instead of trying to make the powers come into contact, we should adjust them and try to find a peculiar balance that allows them to coexist, or even... mutually amplify each other?"

“That’s right!” Feng Yao’s spirits lifted. “Since we can’t be compatible, let’s first seek common ground while reserving differences, and find a point of resonance!”

Having found a new direction, their fatigue vanished, and they closed their eyes again, focusing their minds. This time, they no longer tried to crudely blend the two divine powers, but rather, like the most skilled musicians, began to meticulously adjust the "frequency" of their own divine powers.

The golden and blue light reappeared, but no longer tried to get closer. Instead, they flowed and vibrated around the two of them, emitting a peculiar "string sound" that only they could perceive.

The search for that one-in-a-million, wondrous frequency that resonates with the power of angels and sea gods... is destined to be an extremely long process that requires exceptional insight and luck.

Day after day, Feng Yao and Qian Renxue spent almost all their time on that platform at Poseidon Mountain.

Repeated failures became almost the norm. The golden and blue divine powers were like two unruly dragons; every cautious approach would trigger violent energy turbulence and backlash, leaving the two of them mentally and physically exhausted.

Until a peaceful afternoon.

A gentle sea breeze blew, and sunlight filtered through thin clouds, casting shimmering golden light across the water. The backlash from a failed energy attempt left both of them somewhat disoriented, forcing them to temporarily halt their attack and recuperate.

Feng Yao closed his eyes, not in a hurry to try again, but instead completely immersed himself in his body, feeling the subtle fluctuations of his martial soul originating from the source of soul power. At the same time, he also opened his senses to capture the omnipresent energy fluctuations of Seagod Island in the surrounding environment, a vast, profound, and life-pulsating "rhythm".

Qian Renxue did not disturb him, and quietly felt the flow of angelic power within her body, a pure, fiery, and holy "pulse" with a constant frequency.

In this profound stillness, Feng Yao's consciousness seemed to have caught something.

He discovered that the soul power fluctuations emanating from his martial soul were subtly resonating with the natural rhythm of the immense energy of the Seagod Mountain beneath his feet, and even the entire Seagod Island! This was a harmony that transcended attributes and reached the level of the very source of energy.

Almost at the same moment, Qian Renxue was also surprised to find that the inherent soul power fluctuations of the purest holy power core deep within her angel soul were in a very subtle and strange synchronization with the soul power fluctuations that Feng Yao was unconsciously emitting at this moment, which were integrated into the rhythm of the Sea God Island!

It's as if... two completely different divine powers have found a tiny but real common ground on a more essential and fundamental level!

The two of them opened their eyes almost simultaneously, and saw in each other's eyes an unbelievable shock and ecstasy!

Feng Yao suddenly understood, as if a clear spring had flowed into his thoughts: "That's right, the way of nature is the way of things. You and I are just a corner of the world, the power of the sea god comes from the vastness of the ocean, and the power of the angel comes from the purity of the holy light - tracing back to the source, they are all born of nature, so how can they be irreconcilable?"

“That’s it!” Feng Yao’s voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. “Don’t try to merge with the power itself! Try to use the angelic power to resonate with this ‘frequency’!”

Qian Renxue immediately understood. She closed her eyes again, immersing herself completely in the moment. She stopped thinking about how to control the immense angelic power and instead focused on capturing, imitating, and trying to adjust the core of her own divine power to the special frequency that Feng Yao was emitting, which was in sync with the natural rhythms.

This time, as Qian Renxue slowly extended her golden holy power, which was adjusted to a specific frequency and was as thin as a hair, Feng Yao also guided a wisp of azure power of the same frequency, containing the rhythm of Seagod Island, to meet it.

There was no violent conflict as expected!

An explosion and annihilation without energy! The two extremely faint yet highly synchronized divine powers emitted an extremely faint yet incredibly clear buzz the moment they came into contact!
It was as if two tuning forks were resonating!
The golden and blue lights no longer repelled or devoured each other, but instead, as if they had found long-lost companions, they began to surround and dance together in a wondrous way! They still maintained their respective properties, but at this moment, they achieved a perfect and harmonious resonance!

Although the resonance was extremely small, limited to the area between those two strands of divine power, and was extremely unstable, it seemed as if it would dissipate at any moment.

But this is undoubtedly a revolutionary breakthrough, going from zero to one!

They have finally found the starting point of the right, thorny path to success in the "Blue Gold Test"!
Feng Yao and Qian Renxue suppressed their excitement, carefully maintaining this hard-won resonance, and trying their best to comprehend the wonderful laws contained within it.

Having found that faint opportunity for resonance, Feng Yao and Qian Renxue did not rush to achieve it. Instead, like carving a beautiful jade, they immersed themselves in consolidating and comprehending this wondrous frequency.

They no longer attempted to mobilize immense divine power, but instead manipulated the fine, hair-like gold and blue threads with exquisite precision, maintaining their harmonious, dancing vibrations. This process was extremely taxing on mental energy, requiring unimaginable focus and patience; the slightest impatience or distraction could cause this fragile balance to collapse instantly.

Each failure, each attempt to recapture that frequency, and each reconnection.

As time went on, their perception of this unique resonance frequency became clearer and clearer, and the duration of its duration slowly increased from a few breaths to dozens of breaths, half a cup of tea, a stick of incense, and so on.

When the resonance stabilized enough to last for a quarter of an hour, they began their next attempt—extremely slowly, bit by bit, increasing the divine power injected into the resonating body.

This is a more delicate and dangerous process, like walking a tightrope. With each increase in force, that exquisite frequency balance may be disrupted, triggering repulsion once again.

They were completely focused, like the most harmonious musicians and singers, sensing the slightest fluctuations in each other's divine power, adjusting and strengthening in sync.

Gradually, the dancing golden and blue light threads, which were as thin as hair, became as thick as fingers, and the resonant humming sound became clearer and clearer, as if it were a fragment of a sacred melody from the beginning of the world.

They were not content with this. Feng Yao began to try to incorporate more of the natural energy rhythms of Poseidon Island into the resonance, making the blue Poseidon power even more dynamic and vast. Qian Renxue, on the other hand, continuously purified the frequency of the angelic holy power, ensuring its absolute stability and purity within the resonance, like a tuning hammer.

The size of the resonator continued to grow slowly but steadily, from the thickness of a finger to the thickness of an arm... and finally, it stabilized at about the size of a bowl.

It was a ball of light, gold and blue, floating slowly between the two. The gold part was holy and stable, while the blue part was vast and dynamic. The two were not fused together, but rather vibrated, intertwined, and resonated together at an incomparably complex and harmonious frequency, emitting a peculiar divine aura that was neither purely angelic nor purely sea god, yet encompassed the advantages of both!

Although this sphere of light is still insignificant compared to the vast total amount of divine power within the two individuals, it is an incredibly solid proof—proving that two completely different divine powers can indeed coexist!

At this point, they have successfully consolidated and initially expanded the resonance. The next step is to patiently and repeatedly repeat this process, making the resonant sphere larger and more stable, until it can eventually trigger a chain reaction of deeper divine power within them, achieving the "initial cooperation" required by the assessment.

The two smiled at each other, both seeing deep exhaustion in each other's eyes, but even more so, joy at the breakthrough and unprecedented confidence.

The most difficult hurdle, the Blue-Gold test, has already been crossed.

Time passed, and countless days and nights went by. On the platform of Poseidon Mountain, Feng Yao and Qian Renxue sat facing each other. The golden and blue sphere of light between them had grown from the size of a bowl to the size of a millstone.

The sphere of light slowly rotated, and the golden and blue energies within it no longer merely intertwined and resonated, but formed a near-perfect dynamic balance. The holy power of the angels and the vast power of the sea god flowed endlessly like yin and yang fish, independent yet harmoniously unified, radiating a profound and powerful aura.

Their control over this resonance has reached a state of perfection; with the slightest thought, they can easily activate this fusion energy.

On this day, just as dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight pierced the sea surface and shone upon the Sea God Mountain.

Feng Yao and Qian Renxue opened their eyes simultaneously, their gazes gleaming with a sharp light. They knew the time had come.

"Let's begin," Feng Yao said in a deep voice.

Qian Renxue nodded solemnly.

The two simultaneously pressed their hands against the millstone-sized golden-blue sphere of light. The immense divine power within them was no longer suppressed, and like a floodgate opened, it surged into the well-established resonance channel!

This time, it was no longer a subtle guidance, but a true infusion of divine power!

Om-! ! !
The golden-blue sphere suddenly erupted with dazzling divine light and expanded instantly! An indescribable, vast wave of energy burst forth from the sphere, sweeping across the entire Poseidon Mountain!

Boom!

Above the sky, the wind and clouds changed color! The originally clear dawn was illuminated by endless divine light!
Half the sky transformed into a pure, flawless holy gold, with countless phantoms of angel wings dancing and chanting in the golden light; the other half of the sky transformed into a deep, vast ocean blue, with surging waves, and the phantom of the trident of Poseidon standing proudly!
Even more astonishing is that at the boundary between gold and blue, an incomparably noble blue-gold light begins to emerge and spread, connecting the two completely different celestial phenomena like a bridge!
"It's a success?!" Inside Seahorse City, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling rushed out of their room, staring in shock at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

From the direction of the Seven Sacred Pillars, beams of light shot into the sky, as if responding to this wonder of heaven and earth! All the people of Poseidon Island felt the tremor and awe that came from the depths of their souls, and they all came out of their homes, looked towards Poseidon Mountain, and involuntarily prostrated themselves on the ground.

At the summit of Poseidon Mountain, the golden-blue sphere of light had transformed into a pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth, completely engulfing the figures of Feng Yao and Qian Renxue!

Within the pillar of light, the two could clearly feel their divine powers communicating and circulating deeply through this bridge of resonance. Although they hadn't truly merged, the previous repulsion had vanished, replaced by a wondrous complementarity and synergy! The purity of the angelic divine power protected the vastness of the sea god's power from being devoured by its violent backlash, while the sea god's power's inclusiveness neutralized the extreme sharpness of the angelic divine power.

After an unknown amount of time, the towering pillar of light slowly receded, eventually disappearing entirely into the bodies of Feng Yao and Qian Renxue.

The strange phenomena in the sky gradually dissipated, and clarity returned.

On the platform, Feng Yao and Qian Renxue stood facing each other. Their auras did not seem to surge, but they became more harmonious and profound. In particular, there was an indescribable and mysterious connection between the two of them.

The blue-gold angel wings and trident mark intertwined on Qian Renxue's forehead suddenly lit up, then the light subsided, becoming clearer and deeper.

Blue-Gold Test Completed!

Almost simultaneously, Feng Yao's entire body trembled violently, and an incomparably dazzling golden pillar of light shot up from his body, soaring straight into the sky! Above the sky, a huge golden trident rune suddenly appeared, showering down boundless divine power!

A vast amount of information flooded into Feng Yao's mind, and nine different golden runes lit up in his consciousness one after another!

The Nine Trials of Poseidon have officially begun!
Poseidon's figure quietly appeared not far away. She looked at Feng Yao, who had successfully triggered the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and Qian Renxue beside her, whose aura resonated with hers. Finally, a trace of complexity and sigh appeared in her deep, ocean-like eyes.

"I never expected... they actually did it."
