Chapter 357 Compressing Soul Power, the Trial Begins.
Early the next morning.
Ma Hongjun slumped to the ground, letting out a long sigh.
"I didn't expect this kind of trial, I'm really suffering..."
Xuan Mo raised an eyebrow, noticing Ma Hongjun's undisguised mournful face, his eyes flashing with curiosity.
Just now, the Fire Dragon King had taken Ma Hongjun aside, while the Earth Dragon King had taken him to another side, explaining to them the trials they would face.
As for Da Hei, it had been disappeared by the other three Dragon Kings last night, and no one knew where it went.
Now, Ma Hongjun's trial piqued Xuan Mo's curiosity. After all, curiosity is human nature.
So, "Fatty, what's your trial like?"
As soon as Xuan Mo asked this question, Ma Hongjun's expression changed as quickly as flipping through a book, becoming even uglier.
"My first trial is fighting a fire-type dragon soul at the crater where Senior Fire Dragon King added something."
"Pfft..."
Xuan Mo almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
With his quick wit, he immediately understood what was going on. The Fire Dragon King's addition was most likely using extreme fire to raise the temperature of the volcano. And those fire-type dragon souls were probably extremely powerful true dragon souls.
You see, extreme fire doesn't affect dragon souls unless used to attack them; instead, the fire element within it can enhance their strength.
But Ma Hongjun is different from dragon souls. For him, extreme fire is a suppression of his strength. Therefore, this trial wasn't a battle of equals; it was a complete annihilation.
"You're still laughing at me. Brother Mo, what is your test?"
At this moment, Xuanmo's eyes turned somewhat strange. Recalling what the Earth Dragon King had told him last night, although the test was a bit odd, he didn't hide it from Ma Hongjun.
"My test is, burying the dragon."
"Burying the dragon?"
Ma Hongjun's expression was the same as Xuanmo's, both somewhat strange. He then asked, "Brother Mo, for this burial of the dragon, do those seniors have any special requirements?"
"There aren't any requirements." Xuanmo stroked his chin. "Uncle Tu only has two requirements for this burial of the dragon."
"What two requirements?"
"First, reconstruct the corpse; second, bury it in the ground."
"Just those two?" Ma Hongjun was stunned. It wasn't that the two requirements were too difficult, but rather that they were too simple.
For Xuanmo, apart from reconstructing the corpse which would take some time, the burial requirement was a piece of cake.
"Just those two."
After receiving Xuanmo's confirmation, Ma Hongjun's face revealed envy and jealousy. "Brother Mo, how come your test is so simple? I suspect those seniors are biased."
Xuanmo shook his head and remained silent.
Like Ma Hongjun, he felt the test was far too easy. Because of this, he always felt as if something else was waiting for him in the aftermath of the trial.
An hour later.
The five dragon kings, now in human form, stood before Xuan Mo and the others, looking at them with a half-smile.
"You two boys, your test (trial) is about to begin. By the way, how's your preparation going?"
Though he said this, the time had actually come.
The Fire Dragon King's gaze first fell on Ma Hongjun, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips.
Then, he draped his arm over Ma Hongjun's shoulder.
"Kid, let's go first."
The next second, a flash of fire appeared. Before Ma Hongjun could react, he was grabbed by the Fire Dragon King and shot off towards the distant horizon.
Only a sigh escaped his lips, "Ah!!"
The Ice Dragon King smiled without a word, his figure flashing as he disappeared from his spot, heading straight to meet the departing Big Black from the previous night…
At the same time, the Earth Dragon King and the others also turned their attention to Xuan Mo. Xuan Mo, seeing this, was quite decisive.
"Then I'll trouble you."
"Hehe, don't rush."
The Wind Dragon King chuckled, then slightly raised his finger.
"Whoosh!"
A stream of light flashed, instantly disappearing into Xuan Mo's body.
The next second, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"
Xuan Mo's soul power suddenly surged violently. Gas formed from soul power rose from his body, seemingly about to envelop him.
However, at this moment, the stream of light that had just entered Xuan Mo's body brightened, and the soul power that had formed gas on Xuan Mo's body began to compress, gradually transforming into liquid soul power.
"What's going on!?"
Xuan Mo was horrified to discover that his cultivation level and soul power, which were originally close to level seventy, were being drastically reduced and compressed.
"Hahaha! Human boy, don't be impatient. Carefully feel the changes within your body."
When Xuan Mo's soul power reached level sixty-one, the rate at which his cultivation level declined stopped. His already more substantial soul power, already greater than that of ordinary people, now directly liquefied.
"Boy Mo, if you want to prove yourself as a god later, then the quality of your soul power is equally important. Although your cultivation level has returned to level sixty-one, your combat power has increased rather than decreased."
As soon as the Wind Dragon King let go, the Earth Dragon King took over. Instantly, Xuan Mo felt another wave of energy envelop his entire body.
Then it said, "However, now, with our help, you have reached the point of liquefied soul power. But forming solid soul power is something you need to do yourself. But right now… it's still too early."
Hearing this, Xuan Mo's heart stirred slightly. Because based on the Earth Dragon King's words, he suddenly thought of something… a soul core!
Before Xuanmo could think further, the Earth Dragon King said, "Alright, it's time to take you for your test. But before that… boy, hold on tight!"
Instantly, Xuanmo's vision blurred, and a scene flashed by.
With a gust of wind beside his ears, when he opened his eyes again, he was already above Dragon Valley, carried by the Earth Dragon King and the others.
"Huh? Why did you suddenly bring me here?"
Xuanmo looked down, still shrouded in mist. As for the area shrouded in mist, it was presumably just the bones of dragons lying dead in the wilderness.
Xuanmo was puzzled by the Earth Dragon King and the others' actions. After all, if it was about burying dragons, the dragon corpses would be below the valley. If that was the case, why were they above the valley?
"We brought you here to see everything clearly. To see the buried dragons…"
The three Dragon Kings acted together, three streams of energy converging and crashing into the mist of the valley.
What happened next was completely different from what Xuanmo had seen last time…
