Chapter 249: Is Bo Saixi Dead?
By the time everyone had successfully transitioned and obtained their first self condensed soul ring, the day had shifted from morning to evening. It was only then that the long missing Teacher Cao finally arrived. Seeing that all students had completed the transition, he nodded and said, "Very good. Now that you've successfully become Divine Ring Masters, you can proceed with the next phase of your education. For today, go back and rest. Recharge your energy because, starting tomorrow, official classes will begin. The academy will teach you the mysteries of soul skills and how to create your own combat techniques based on your martial soul's unique properties."
Upon hearing this, the students' eyes filled with excitement. Aside from the Soul Ring Condensation Method, this was the second thing they were most eager to learn. Although the Divine Ring Master System evolved from the Old Soul Master System, the differences were simply too vast.
Clearly, one couldn't view this new soul master system through the lens of the old one.
As an academy dedicated to training students, White Cloud Academy didn't just focus on shaping their moral character it also had to equip them with skills for survival. After all, in this brutal world, reasoning with someone was pointless if you were weak. If they saw you as a pushover, they wouldn't hesitate to bully you instead.
Only a strong fist could force others to sit down and listen that was the true meaning of persuasion through reason!
Only the strong had the right to talk about reason. The weak would forever be trampled underfoot.
Sea God Island
After three years of cultivation, and with Neptune's occasional special guidance, Bo Saixi had finally regained her former 99th level Ultimate Douluo strength.
For most people, advancing so rapidly in just three years would be akin to forcefully pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Their strength would be hollow, and achieving godhood through their own efforts would be impossible. Even if they relied on external forces to become a god, they would undoubtedly be among the weakest gods.
But Bo Saixi was different.
In her previous life, she had already been an Ultimate Douluo, with nearly a century of experience and adaptability. So, even though her power had increased rapidly, she did not suffer from the weaknesses that ordinary people would face.
Because of this, Neptune had no reservations about helping her regain her strength.
Farewell at the Shore
At the shore, Neptune and the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians had gathered to see Bo Saixi off, wishing her success in her mission.
Before parting, considering that Tang Chen, the ruler of the Slaughter City, was close to demi god level and possessed the power of the Asura God, Neptune worried that if he lost control, he would recognize no one not even his loved ones.
Bo Saixi's life would be at risk.
To provide her with extra security, Neptune extended his hand, gathering golden divine light in his palm. In an instant, the light coalesced into a small trident, no larger than a dining fork. He handed it to her and said, "The world beyond the sea is far more dangerous than you think. Even with your strength as an Ultimate Douluo, you may still face threats beyond your control. This Sea God Trident contains a portion of my divine power. Keep it with you. If you ever encounter a life threatening situation, it will protect you."
"Thank you, Lord Sea God," Bo Saixi said gratefully as she accepted the gift. She didn't decline it after all, this was a divine gift. There was no reason to refuse.
"Bo Saixi, please be careful on your journey."
"We wish you success in your endeavor."
The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians also bid their farewells.
"Thank you all," Bo Saixi replied with a gentle smile.
Then, she took to the skies, riding atop the waves, heading toward the continent.
A Dangerous Journey
Watching Bo Saixi disappear into the horizon, Sea Witch muttered, "I wonder if Bo Saixi's journey will go smoothly…"
The other Sacred Pillar Guardians also showed concern.
After all, it had been years since Tang Chen had been heard from. No one knew whether he was alive or dead.
After being parasitized by the Nine Headed Blood Bat, Tang Chen had undergone a complete transformation. His appearance and aura were so unrecognizable that even the Haotian Sect, his own clan, wouldn't recognize him unless they were explicitly told his identity.
Only Bo Saixi, at first glance, had recognized him immediately. It had to be said when it came to perception, women were leagues ahead of rough, battle hardened men.
Arrival at the Continent
Rushing at full speed, Bo Saixi, with her Ultimate Douluo strength and mermaid martial soul, traversed the sea with effortless ease. It didn't take long for her to reach the continent's shore.
Although she knew from the video recordings that Tang Chen was in Slaughter City, she had no idea where it actually was.
Finding it alone would be like searching for a needle in the ocean.
After careful thought, Bo Saixi realized that her best option was to seek help from a local powerhouse.
When thinking of who to ask, the first person that came to mind was Qian Daoliu.
As the head of Spirit Hall, he definitely knew where Slaughter City was located.
Outside Spirit City
After days of travel, Bo Saixi arrived outside Spirit City but did not enter.
Her powerful spiritual perception allowed her to sense a familiar aura coming from inside the city.
Luckily, Spirit Hall's location was no secret. A few simple inquiries with high level soul masters were enough to confirm the location of the main hall.
Releasing a controlled amount of her Ultimate Douluo aura, she ensured that only another Ultimate Douluo would be able to sense her presence.
Papal Palace
Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong, who had been reading a confidential letter sent by her disciple Hu Liena, suddenly sensed something.
Her expression shifted as she quickly raised her head and looked in the direction of the powerful aura.
Her beautiful eyes flickered with uncertainty.
"A stranger's aura… Another Ultimate Douluo?!"
By now, Bibi Dong's strength had reached 99th level Ultimate Douluo, barely stepping into the ranks of top tier powerhouses.
She was only half a step away from inheriting the Rakshasa God's position.
Sensing this mysterious aura, Bibi Dong had initially intended to investigate but before she could move, she noticed another aura heading toward it.
"Qian Daoliu…"
"Could it be someone he knows?"
Bibi Dong frowned, then ultimately chose to stay seated and ignored the situation.
Qian Daoliu's Reaction
At the Angel Shrine, Qian Daoliu had been meditating beneath the Angel Statue.
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open.
"A presence equal to mine?"
This wasn't the aura of a land based soul master. It carried a unique aquatic essence, one that only sea soul masters possessed.
There was no doubt this person came from Sea God Island.
"But who…?"
For a brief moment, Qian Daoliu thought of Bo Saixi.
Then, he chuckled bitterly and shook his head.
"Impossible. I sensed someone ascending to godhood. That divine pressure came from the ocean. Someone must have inherited the Sea God's position."
"If someone inherited the godhood… then the previous inheritor must have sacrificed themselves."
"Bo Saixi… is definitely dead."
