Chapter 273: First Trial finished!
Xuan Yan smiled softly as Ah Yin meticulously fastened the button on his robes like a caring wife. His eyes then fell on the naked Zi Ji on the bed still sleeping like a log. With a delicate touch, Ah Yin's fingers gently worked the fabric, ensuring that every detail was flawlessly in place.
As Ah Yin finished her work, she planted a tender kiss on his lips "Ok, Husband... now you can leave. It is already late there..." Xuan Yan nodded caressing her hair gently.
"Ah wait, Husband... " Ah Yin stopped him and went behind his back. "What happened, dear?" Xuan Yan asked in confusion.
"Husband, it's just that you always leave your hair loose, so I thought of doing it as a messy man bun hairstyle..." She said as she took a hair tie, tying his hair.
Xuan Yan raised an eyebrow. Like Eren Yeager or something? Well, he doesn't mind about hairstyles.
When Ah Yin finished tying his hair, her eyes were full of stars "Husband, it looks so good... You look even more handsome."
Xuan Yan chuckled "Is that so?"
"Yes, yes..." she hugged him pecking his lips. Xuan Yan reciprocated the gentle kiss and smiled "Then, I am leaving..."
...
*tap* Xuan Yan walked near the Sea God Mountain and saw the women sitting on the steps cultivating under the Sea God light.
Long Yeyue and Ma Xiaotao who were standing below the mountain overlooking the women were surprised looking at Xuan Yan "Brother Lord, your hair..."
Xuan Yan just smiled "Ah Yin did it..." Long Yeyue walked around, circling him "Ah Yin, hmm.... this looks so cool.."
"Xuan ...Yan?" Xuan Yan heard a soft voice from behind and he turned his head "Oh, Bo Saixi..."
Bo Saixi was surprised by his new hairstyle and a small smile appeared on her lips "It looks good on you."
Xuan Yan gave a nod. Ma Xiaotao stepped forward touching his hair "She really did a good job."
Bo Saixi glimpsed at the stairs "They are close to finishing their first trial. Just two or three days..."
Xuan Yan also glanced at the women cultivating "Yeah, they are improving quickly..."
Bo Saixi glanced at him in the corner of her eyes "Don't you think it is time for you to finish your first trial?"
Only then Long Yeyue remember that Xuan Yan also had trials "Husband, how many stairs for you..."
Xuan Yan raised his head looking at the Sea God Temple at the top "All the 999 stairs."
"Oh?" Long Yeyue and Ma Xiaotao exchanged surprised glances upon hearing this. Bo Saixi spoke, "Zhuqing had to climb only 333 steps... after 333 steps is the real trial."
"From step 334 onward, the spirit energy of 1 step is equivalent to the sum of all the previous steps. The spirit energy won't be just pressure but also attack. The first three realms allow a person to experience the pressure of a mighty spirit beast. After that, the spirit beast will come to attack the spirit master. It grows stronger the higher the spirit master climbs."
Long Yeyue smiled wryly "His trial is harder than the actual heir of the Sea God...."
Bo Saixi gave a nod "It's because he is that talented. The trials are given based on talent and physique after all and Xuan Yan is the first one to get this Golden Three trials,"
"Even for me it's just 203 steps... but for him 999 steps. No one has ever climbed that top."
"Xuan Yan you have to be careful. I will be waiting for you at the top!" she said as she disappeared from there.
...
"Can he cross the final step?" A soft voice escaped Bo Saixi's lips, filled with curiosity and anticipation as she glanced down standing at the 1000th step and the Sea God Temple was just behind her.
Xuan Yan looked at the shining steps in front of him enriched by the Sea God Light. "Wait for a little...."
Long Yeyue and Ma Xiaotao nodded their heads. *woosh* Xuan Yan's figure dashed towards the steps leaving a trail of golden light.
*gasp* Bo Saixi's eyes widened in absolute shock looking at the pair of golden eyes glancing into her pink eyes "W-What?" she yelled in astonishment.
Xuan Yan is standing right in front of her now. In an instant, he appeared right before her. As she stood on the 1000th step, he stood on the 999th step...Originally Bo Saixi's height was a little lower than Xuan Yan but now they are at the same height their eyes on the same level.
"Surprised?" Xuan Yan asked with a teasing smile. Bo Saixi came out of her shock and her eyes quivered "How? It should be Limit Douluo pressure and walking after 900 steps is the most difficult as it even repels and attacks you..."
"It's like constantly being attacked by Limi Douluo and you crossed them in an instant. This is just impossible... what trick did you use?" she asked baffled.
-_- Trick? He really didn't use tricks like teleportation or something. He literally walked through 999 steps in an instant. He is just so fucking overpowered.
"Tell me what trick did you use?" Bo Saixi asked looking at him. Xuan Yan shrugged "I just walked through the stairs..."
Bo Saixi squinted her eyes, no matter how powerful Xuan Yan was... as a spirit master it was impossible to cross all those stairs in an instant. "You are lying..."
Xuan Yan couldn't help but chuckle "The pressure is not that strong... it's really easy."
Bo Saixi's lips twitched seeing him carefreely talking after doing an impossible thing. Seeing her getting frustrated Xuan Yan chuckled in his heart "Move aside..." As she was standing right in front of him he couldn't take the 1000th step.
Bo Saixi let out a sigh and looked at him "Xuan Yan, I don't what tricks you used, but the last step is so crucial... The pressure is equal to half-step god even comparable to False God."
"It is above the mortal realm, so you have to use everything in your power to cross this. Be careful..." As she spoke, a hint of anxiety etched upon her face, causing her eyes to narrow in worry.
Xuan Yan didn't heed her words and took the next step placing his foot in the 1000th step. As he took a step, his chest hit Bo Saixi's chest and she stumbled causing her to lose her balance and take a step backward. "Ah!"
Bo Saixi was taken aback to see Xuan Yan on the 1000th step as a deep golden light filled his body. This dazzling display caused her to squint her eyes inquisitively as she sensed an overwhelming force pressing down upon "The pressure?"
*rumble* The whole Sea God Mountain shook for a second and Bo Saixi took another step back feeling repelled by the golden light "Divine Energy.." she mumbled "The pressure of half god!"
Bo Saixi squinted her eyes at the blinding golden light, why is he not releasing his martial spirit? "Xuan Yan, use your Martial spirit and rings to resist the pressure or you may get crushed under the coercion."
She couldn't see anything clearly because of the bright light "W-What is happening? Xuan Yan use every ounce of your power."
*swoosh* After a few seconds, the pressure stopped and the golden light also disappeared. "Xuan Yan!!!" Bo Saixi hurriedly looked at the step and she was dumbfounded.
*fwish* Xuan Yan stood there unscathed and wisps of crisp smoke came from his body after the powerful coercion.
Bo Saixi hastily walked near him her voice filled with concern as she inquired "Xuan Yan, how do you feel? Any internal injuries?" she impatiently asked looking at his body emitting small fog-like smoke. *fwish*
Xuan Yan waved his hand with a smile "I am okay, Bo Saixi..." Bo Saixi felt a wave of relief wash over her heart, knowing that Xuan Yan was unharmed. Seeing him smile further added to her relief, causing her to let out a sigh
"Urgh!" But suddenly Xuan Yan clutched his chest in pain. Bo Saixi gasped in shock and swiftly caught his body "X-Xuan Yan, what happened?"
She placed her palm on his chest and her eyes moistened in worry "Xuan Yan, is it paining? That's why I told you to use your full power... idiot. D-Dont worry I will bring you back to the infirmary." she panicked as her voice shuttered.
"Haha!" Bo Saixi saw him laughing playfully and she was confused. "Xuan Yan?"
"You fell for it, Bo Saixi.." Xuan Yan said with a teasing glint in his eyes. H-Huh? "You are teasing me?" At that moment, Bo Saixi felt a surge of happiness wash over her, knowing that Xuan Yan was safe and unharmed... He is alright!
But then frustration welled up in her heart and she shouted "You rogue, don't pull pranks like this. I was scared..."
"Rogue? Does every Sea God Island call men rogue?" he asked with a chuckle. Bo Saixi quickly shut her mouth, because he used to tease Xiu Yin, the Xiu Yin personality slipped from her lips.
Bo Saixi closed her eyes, her calm and collected gaze resurfacing "Yes, we call shameless men like you as a rogue."
Xuan Yan just smiled "I didn't know you cared so much for me, even your eyes are moistened..."
Bo Saixi swiftly wiped away the tiny droplets of tears that had welled up in her eyes "You are a trial taker, which means you are children of the sea and as a High Priestess I care for everyone in the Sea God Island."
Hearing her reasoning, Xuan Yan nodded "Fair enough..." Bo Saixi discreetly looked at him "By the way, are you really alright? Do you need medication?"
Xuan Yan smiled softly "Don't be concerned. I am alright..."
*woosh* At this time, the trident mark on Xuan Yan's forehead glowed and he got the rewards of the first trial. "The thirteen halberds of Sea God..." he muttered under his lips.
The Sea God Heart didn't have the full 13 moves it only had five... and now Xuan Yan got all the thirteen moves of the Sea God.
"The breath of the sea..." Bo Saixi mumbled looking at the energy from Xuan Yan and seeing his rewards Bo Saixi was stupified. Lord Sea God gave his exclusive halberd moves to him?
Is Zhuqing really the heir's trial taker? -_-
At this time, another information flowed in Xuan Yan's mind and a smirk appeared on his face "The second trial seems more easy than the first..." he said looking at Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi frowned her eyebrows and saw through his second trial and her eyebrow twitched in exasperation "You rogue..."
