Chapter 468 - Chapter 465 Climbing the Ladder: Yu Xiaogang's Amazing Foundation

After moving around under the Seagod's Light for a while, everyone had basically figured out the situation of the Seagod's Light.

This was simply a high-pressure environment where the pressure on each step was fixed, remaining the same no matter who came, and becoming harder the further up one went.

During the climbing process, everyone needed to use their own Soul Power to resist these pressures, so Soul Power would be rapidly consumed in the process.

Once their Soul Power was depleted, they had to find a suitable location to quickly recover it while continuing to consume it, and after it was mostly restored, they would continue climbing.

In short, this Seagod's Light was truly an all-around test of a Spirit Master's own abilities.

"I just don't know how many levels I can climb with my current level."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the stairs ahead, feeling eager to try in his heart.

Flender bore the pressure with a sad face. One hundred and eight steps! How was he supposed to climb this?

However, thinking of the steps Bibi Dong needed to climb, Flender bizarrely felt much more relaxed.

Because Bibi Dong needed to climb to three hundred and thirty-third steps to be considered finished with the task of the first trial.

Flender didn't even dare to imagine how much effort Bibi Dong would have to put in to complete this trial.

"Let's try climbing once as best as we can to see what our current level is, and then formulate a corresponding climbing plan afterwards."

Yu Xiaogang made the suggestion, and both Bibi Dong and Flender nodded one after another.

Thus, a climbing activity officially began.

Gu Rong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei naturally tried it out as well, and their climbing process was likewise very easy at the start.

After all, the pressure of each level of the Seagod's Light was constant. Even Flender could endure it, so how could two Spirit Douluo and one Titled Douluo possibly fail to endure it?

Therefore, while Flender was climbing with difficulty and Bibi Dong was frowning and moving up step by step, the four of Gu Rong moved as if flying, quickly heading upwards as if there was no pressure at all.

During this process, the most eye-catching person was undoubtedly Yu Xiaogang.

His current Rank was sixty-eighth, still lagging behind Yue Guan and the others by about twenty Ranks.

Yet the ease with which he climbed did not lose to the three of Gu Rong in the slightest.

This meant that although Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power Rank was low, his comprehensive qualities were completely not inferior to theirs.

Just like that, the four of them climbed quickly.

Twentieth step, thirtieth step, fortieth step...

Eightieth step, ninetieth step, one hundredth step, one hundred and eighth step!

With almost no pause, the group of four arrived at the one hundred and eighth step.

During this period, the four of them had long since activated their Spirits, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei had even activated their Martial Soul True Body.

After all, upon reaching here, the pressure of the Seagod's Light on the four of them had long since multiplied by goodness knows how many times.

Yet even so, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were already grinding their teeth at this moment; clearly, the pressure here was difficult to endure even with their Martial Soul True Body activated.

"Xiaogang, you..."

Gu Rong looked at Yue Guan and Gui Mei's teeth-grinding appearance of enduring the pressure, then looked at Yu Xiaogang's expression with only slightly furrowed brows, and was speechless for a moment.

"Tch, don't make such a big fuss. This brat is a genuine monster."

"Even before this, when fighting alone, we were already no match for this fellow."

"In the past two days, he absorbed another God-given Spirit Bone."

"It can be said that his strength is now completely at the Titled Douluo level. In fact, if he pulls out all his methods, whether you can beat him is even a question."

"So there's nothing to make a big fuss about regarding the scene right now."

Yue Guan managed to force out a smile.

He wasn't surprised in the slightest that Yu Xiaogang was this relaxed.

Rather, if Yu Xiaogang had a harder time than them, that would be truly unbelievable.

Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power Rank hadn't even reached the Spirit Saint level, yet he possessed the ability to defeat a Titled Douluo. Why?

Isn't it because his foundation was far too profound, and his attributes like physical fitness, Soul Power, and strength were all extraordinary?

And this Seagod's Light tested precisely these foundational attributes; Soul Power Rank was instead unimportant.

This was simply letting Yu Xiaogang showcase his skills in the Domain he was most proficient in. If he couldn't do well, wouldn't that be outrageous?

Hearing Yue Guan's words, Gu Rong instantly had nothing to say.

Of course he also knew Yu Xiaogang was Heaven-Defying.

However, before today, his biggest impression of Yu Xiaogang was his peerless intelligence.

As for actual combat power, Gu Rong's estimation of Yu Xiaogang was that he could rival a Spirit Douluo.

This was already Gu Rong thinking as highly of him as possible.

He hadn't expected that he still underestimated him.

"Extraordinary intelligence aside, his strength is also at the monster level."

"With both of these combined, I really don't know what kind of level this fellow will be at when he reaches a Titled Douluo."

Gu Rong felt complex emotions in his heart.

Being able to contend with a Titled Douluo at the Spirit Emperor Rank, wouldn't reaching Titled Douluo mean directly crushing anyone below Rank ninety-five, and being able to fight even those above Rank ninety-five?

After lamenting Yu Xiaogang's monster-level strength for a moment, everyone rested briefly and continued climbing.

And when the four stepped onto the one hundred and ninth step, everyone's expressions changed.

Because the pressure of the one hundred and ninth step directly skyrocketed.

If the pressure of the one hundred and eighth step was an overflowing lake, then the one hundred and ninth step was directly a giant wave striking.

The pressure directly underwent a qualitative change.

Under such pressure, both Gu Rong and Yu Xiaogang started grinding their teeth, let alone Yue Guan and Gui Mei; the bodies of the two were bent under the pressure.

"Uncle Yue, Uncle Gui, take your time. Anyway, we don't have a trial task, so how much we climb depends entirely on our own ideas."

Looking at the two of Yue Guan and Gui Mei who were bearing immense pressure, Yu Xiaogang spoke up to remind them.

"Rest assured, we aren't the reckless kind of people."

Yue Guan waved his hand and didn't say much more.

Gui Mei at the side didn't speak, only silently enduring the pressure.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang let out a breath of relief, then exchanged a glance with Gu Rong. Without a word, the two simultaneously lifted their feet and continued climbing upwards.

One hundred and tenth step, one hundred and fifteenth step, one hundred and twentieth step.

By this point, Gu Rong and Yu Xiaogang were likewise somewhat unable to endure it.

Thus, the two of them each displayed their methods, with Gu Rong directly choosing to unleash his Martial Soul True Body.

As for Yu Xiaogang's side, he glanced at the little dragon resting on his shoulder. It was blinking a pair of large eyes as it gazed around, looking completely relaxed and clearly not affected by the pressure of the Seagod's Light.

"So this Seagod's Light only targets Spirit Masters?"

Shaking his head, Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment and tried activating the Radiant Domain.

As soon as the Domain was opened, Yu Xiaogang instantly felt the pressure on his body lessen a lot.

"So, during the climb, one can use Spirit Abilities to buff themselves, and can also use a Domain to isolate the pressure of the Seagod's Light."

"This truly is an excellent test of comprehensive qualities."

"Every single aspect is actually accounted for."

After lamenting for a bit, Yu Xiaogang once again stepped out and continued climbing upwards.
