"There was no important news in the past few months. It might be because the seaside is too far away from the core area on land, so the news was transmitted slowly. But just a month ago, an interesting thing happened." Meng Yiran said, and couldn't help but smile.

Qin Xiao took in Meng Yiran's expression and asked, "What good news happened?"

"Yes." Meng Yiran nodded heavily. "Your Majesty, you don't know that the Xingluo Emperor was attacked. Zi Zhenzhu got the information and the Xingluo Emperor almost lost his life. Now there are 100,000 troops guarding Xingluo City, and the Xingluo Emperor dares not even leave the palace."

"Oh, is that so?"

Qin Xiao couldn't help but smile.

I have to say, it's quite refreshing.

He was seriously injured and left in a hurry. Otherwise, with his character, he would have gone to the Xingluo Palace to kill people. He always felt very regretful about this incident.

Unexpectedly, someone has already helped him realize this regret.

"Yi Ran, did Purple Pearl reveal who attacked the Star Luo Emperor?"

"No. Purple Pearl's strength is limited, and their influence cannot be said to be that strong. The information we know is all from the vicinity of Hanhai City. There is no way to obtain more detailed information."

"Well, it doesn't matter. Once I complete all the assessments, I will be able to return to Douluo Continent soon. By then, all the truth will be revealed."

Qin Xiao said nothing more.

However, an idea suddenly emerged in his mind for no reason. The person who made the move was not Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji and the others, right?

But, on second thought, Qin Xiao felt that it was impossible.

It's not like they knew they were not dead, and they were not stupid. They knew the principle of "as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood to burn". Even if they had murderous intentions towards the Xingluo royal family, they would have to wait until I returned to Douluo Continent to take action together.

There's really no need to venture out alone.

"Qin Xiao, from what you're saying, you'll be returning to Douluo Continent soon? Could it be that the nine tests His Majesty the Sea God has given you are all so simple?"

Ning Rongrong said this while demonstrating the movement of doing a push-up.

She noticed the subtext in Qin Xiao's words, as if he was saying that the divine test could be completed tomorrow.

If that was the case, she felt that the assessment Sea God had given them was a bit too much...

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Xiao shook his head helplessly and gave Ning Rongrong a big slap on the head.

"Wow..."

Ning Rongrong held her head and cried out, her eyes red.

"Perhaps the Sea God knew my situation was special, so he made the first test easier. The subsequent tests were no longer so easy. At least they were all in line with the difficulty of the inheritance test."

"Then your safety..."

Ning Rongrong and the others were immediately worried.

"not worried."

Qin Xiao paused and added, "Of course, it might not be that difficult for me. Let's go and start the second assessment now."

...

The sparkling sea reflects countless colorful lights under the sunset.

Surrounded by the sea, there is a small island shrouded in a faint golden light right in the middle of the water.

This is the real core area of Poseidon Island and also the forbidden area on Poseidon Island.

"Qin Xiao, is your second assessment here?"

Ning Rongrong looked at the small island in the distance, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

The light of the sea god in this place tortured her badly. She used all her strength and sacrificed half her life to complete this assessment.

Not only Ning Rongrong, but after arriving here, the expressions of Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran and Dugu Yan also became ugly.

Obviously, this place also left a deep impression on them.

"Yes, my second test is here."

Qin Xiao didn't look at the strange expressions on everyone's faces.

He looked up and saw a building on the island that looked like a white jade sculpture. It was square, with a dome and huge white stone pillars...all of them were so crystal clear and filled with sacred light.

He knew that this magnificent building was the true core of Poseidon Island, the Poseidon Temple dedicated to the Poseidon. Strictly speaking, the small island ahead was the real Poseidon Island.

"Qin Xiao, there are one thousand and one steps to the Sea Temple from there. How many steps do you have to climb to complete the assessment?"

Ning Rongrong asked while raising her little hand.

Qin Xiao looked in the direction her little hand pointed, and saw stone steps extending downward from the front of the Poseidon Temple. Under the glow of the sunset, the white stone steps reflected the light, like a jade belt lightly draped over the Poseidon Mountain.

Climbing this step marks the beginning of the assessment.

He knew that Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran had all gone through such tests.

In response to Ning Rongrong's question, Qin Xiao extended a finger.

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Could it be, a, a step?"

She was shocked. She said the sea god wouldn't release the water. Is he going to release the sea now?

Qin Xiao shook his head.

"Could it be that I just have to climb ten steps?" Ning Rongrong guessed again.

If that's the case, she thinks it's okay.

Qin Xiao doesn't have to suffer, and the Sea God can save face. At least she will definitely not stab the Sea God in the back.

Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I'm that weak?"

Ning Rongrong was stunned. "Isn't this right?"

"Rongrong, this is definitely not right."

"We all climbed 108 steps before we finished. How could His Majesty be so far behind us?"

Dugu Yan also joined the crowd of speculation, "In my opinion, Your Majesty should also climb more than 100 steps, right? Only then will it be considered qualified for his status assessment. Besides, the first step, the tenth step, or the hundredth step, it doesn't make any difference to Your Majesty."

That’s right... Ning Rongrong’s eyes lit up, and she felt that what Dugu Yan said made a lot of sense.

How can I be worse than them?

However, when she looked at Qin Xiao for confirmation, she found that Qin Xiao was still shaking his head.

She was stunned.

"Does that mean you have to climb a thousand steps to pass the level?"

"Gulu."

As she spoke, she involuntarily turned her gaze back to the steps that looked like a jade belt and swallowed hard.

She couldn't imagine the pressure of climbing a thousand steps.

However, what she was sure of was that an ordinary Titled Douluo-level expert would definitely not be able to withstand it.

however.

Qin Xiao still shook his head. He looked at his fingers and said, "Although it's not right, it's almost there. What I mean is either climb a thousand steps, or walk all the way to the end on this step..."

what?

The end?

Except for Qin Xiao, everyone's faces turned pale instantly.

Isn't this looking for death?

Chapter 173 Shocks Again and Again

"Don't worry, when have you ever seen me do something I wasn't sure of?"

Seeing that everyone looked worried, Qin Xiao smiled slightly.

Isn’t it just a thousand steps?

He still has confidence.

Of course, this confidence is not blind, but comes from one's own strength.

He has undergone more than ten years of thunder body tempering, and his soul power has now reached level ninety-four.

Yes, after nearly a year of recovery, there was a reward at the last moment.

After eating and drinking its fill, the mysterious martial spirit released a large amount of pure power. After Qin Xiao absorbed that power, his cultivation level was greatly improved.

If he fought with Yu Yuanzhen again, Qin Xiao believed that he would never be as embarrassed as last time.

"Then be careful. If you really can't do it, just return it. There's still a year until the next assessment deadline."

Ning Rongrong still looked very worried.

Qin Xiao smiled and shook his head.

On the side, Zhu Zhuqing said softly, "Rongrong, please move aside. I believe His Majesty will be able to complete the assessment safely."

As she spoke, she placed her hands on Ning Rongrong's shoulders and took her two steps to the side.

Qin Xiao walked through the crowd, jumped onto the island, and landed in front of the first step.

He looked up.

My goodness, I can’t even see the top.

...

"Look, Qin Xiao has arrived at the front of the stairs. It seems there are no accidents. His second test is also to walk up the stairs and feel the pressure brought by the light of the sea god."

In another direction outside the island, seven figures in black robes appeared in the dark and watched.

"Seahorse, please keep your voice down. This guy has the cultivation of a Titled Douluo, and he hasn't even officially stepped onto the stairs yet. If he speaks too loudly, he can still hear our conversation."

Another person spoke in a low voice.

"I understand, boss."

Seahorse Douluo answered without turning his head.

There is no doubt that these people are the seven sacred pillar guardians on Poseidon Island.

When they saw Qin Xiao and others coming here, they guessed that Qin Xiao might want to take the second test. Out of curiosity, everyone followed, and it turned out to be true.

"Boss, Qin Xiao has already started. Wow, he's really fast. He takes two steps at a time. Is he that arrogant?"

Suddenly, Seahorse Douluo pointed forward and couldn't help but exclaim again.

But no one responded to his words.

Because the other holy pillar guardians around him also widened their eyes and stared at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao walked faster and faster, and finally he started running.

His steps also increased from two steps to four or five. Later, everyone could not see clearly how many steps he took in one step.

It can be said that the momentum is unstoppable.

Twenty, forty, sixty, eighty, one hundred...

In just ten breaths, Qin Xiao had reached the 100th step.

Everyone: "...."

Be it Zhu Zhuqing and the others, or the many Titled Douluo-level Holy Pillar Guardians who were observing in secret, they were all speechless.

"Your Majesty, are you seriously completing this assessment? One hundred steps, is that so easy?"

Dugu Yan couldn't help but complain.

It took her several months to climb the 108 steps. The process was simply ecstatic, but what about Qin Xiao?

She felt that Qin Xiao did not take this so-called test seriously at all, or rather, this test was not a test for Qin Xiao at the moment.

"This kid is truly amazing."

"There's really no way to compare people. Back then, it took me five months to successfully break through."

"Five months is considered fast for you. It took me eight months..."

"I'm sorry, I embarrassed everyone. I spent nine and a half months on it and was about to give up, but I didn't expect that my condition was surprisingly good that time, and I luckily passed..."
