Tuoba Yan's tone turned serious as he said, "The physical body is the vessel of the Great Dao, the precious raft for crossing the world. You have already wasted an opportunity because of me. The opportunity to refine your body is rare, and you cannot continue to waste it because of me."
"But Master... I will miss you."
"Zhenzhu..."
"Master, I have thought it through. Rather than cultivating alone here, I would rather stay by your side. I am the one who has passed the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and I believe that if I wish to return to cultivate in the future, the High Priest will agree."
Tuoba Yan couldn't refuse Zi Zhenzhu's request, so he had no choice but to agree.
Bo Saixi asked, "Ready? Let's begin!"
"Thank you for your help, senior." It was Shui Bing'er who spoke.
Bo Saixi waved her hand, unleashing over a dozen beams of blue light, each enveloping one of the individuals. The next moment, the light flashed, and their bodies gracefully descended towards the sunken silver pillar.
After climbing the Silver Pillar, Tuoba Yan and the others began to use the Silver Rings to secure their bodies.
As Bo Saixi withdrew her hands, the blue light that had been suppressing the waves gradually disappeared. A hundred-meter-high, towering wave appeared in the sea ahead.
From the perspective of Tuoba Yan and the others, they could see the waves sweeping in from the front like an apocalyptic force.
A powerful pressure loomed over everyone.
Before long, the first wave crashed over us.
The first person to be struck was Zi Zhenzhu.
Zi Zhenzhu was at the very front, undoubtedly indicating that Bo Saixi had high hopes for her.
Then came Tuoba Yan and Shui Bing'er, followed by Xie Yue and Yan, and then Li Kai, Sun Chuantao, Xu Yu, Shui Yue'er, and Zhang Ping.
Because of the silver rings securing their bodies, the waves did not wash them away. They remained firmly attached to the silver pillar.
Just as they were wondering if the third trial was so simple, wave after wave crashed against them. After ten impacts, they had to use their soul power to defend themselves.
The continuous impact had caused them to experience numbness in their bodies.
This numbness isn't pain, it's just numbness. The sensation is numbing throughout the muscles, flesh, and bones.
Within just five minutes, Xu Yu and Sun Chuantao were the first to call for help from Bo Saixi; they couldn't hold on any longer.
Seven minutes later, apart from Tuoba Yan, Shui Bing'er, and Zi Zhenzhu, everyone else could not withstand it.
After seven and a half minutes, Zi Zhenzhu was defeated.
After eight minutes, Shui Bing'er was defeated.
Nine minutes!
Ten minutes!
"A quarter of an hour!"
Tuoba Yan persisted.
He didn't use his soul power or summon his martial soul. He was resisting the crashing waves entirely with his physical body.
Bo Saixi was taken aback, thinking to herself, "The one who obtained the Nine Trials of the Sea God only lasted seven and a half minutes. At the same time, Shui Bing'er, who had just passed the Seventh Trial of the Red Rank, only lasted eight minutes. A quarter of an hour has passed, and he is still persisting. Could it be because he possesses divine power?"
Because Tuoba Yan possessed divine power, his physique was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Bo Saixi was thinking the above.
Her guess was correct, but not entirely.
Through continuous cultivation, divine power nourished Tuoba Yan's physical body. Gradually, Tuoba Yan, who was born on Douluo Star, became increasingly stronger.
This is one of the reasons.
Another reason is that Tuoba Yan has already absorbed the soul bone and has been taking rare and precious materials such as whale glue since childhood, so his physical strength is stronger than that of other soul masters of the same level.
"Twenty minutes!"
In the end, Tuoba Yan successfully completed his first Tidal Body Tempering, lasting for a full twenty minutes. Furthermore, he did not use any of the soul skills from his soul rings.
"What if we use a soul skill?" Tuoba Yan's lips curled into a sly smile.
The dog charm can make someone immortal.
With Bo Saixi protecting him, there are no concerns about his life safety during the Tidal Body Refinement.
The other talismans were ineffective in the second test. Only... the horse talisman.
With a wave of his hand, Bo Saixi enveloped Tuoba Yan in a blue light. As Bo Saixi raised her finger upward, Tuoba Yan flew from the Silver Pillar to the summit of the mountain.
On the ground, Xie Yue and the others lay down without regard for their image or manners.
Everyone collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
What's worse, after the numbness disappeared, the excruciating pain of being pierced by thousands of needles made them wish they were dead.
Tuoba Yan considered using the horse talisman, but he didn't.
The Horse Talisman possesses the ability to restore the physical body to its optimal state, including eliminating pain.
One benefit of experiencing physical pain is that it can stimulate the nerves and enhance one's mental strength.
Knowing this great benefit, Tuoba Yan abandoned his idea of using the Horse Talisman to continuously refine his body through the Tide.
Using the Horse Talisman to continuously refine the body through the Tide, while increasing the frequency of the Tide Refinement, hinders the improvement of mental strength.
Next, Tuoba Yan and the others began a training process that was worse than death.
Everyone suffers from pain. But as they endure the pain, they suddenly discover that they actually come to like the feeling of pain.
Yes, Shui Bing'er was the first to discover the secret.
Shui Bing'er discovered that her spiritual power had broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
Coincidentally, Zi Zhenzhu also discovered that her spiritual power had broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
Others, upon self-reflection, also discovered a significant improvement in their mental strength levels.
It turns out that the third test, in addition to physical training, can also increase mental strength.
It's important to know that physical refinement, like mental strength, is much more difficult to improve than soul strength.
There are three types of cultivation: cultivation of soul power, cultivation of physical strength, and cultivation of mental power.
Once they realized the benefits, the others became incredibly enthusiastic and frantically participated in the Tidal Body Refinement training.
They started by taking a few minutes, then gradually increased it to an hour, two hours... making continuous progress every day.
Three months later, Xie Yue was astonished to discover that every move he made with his moon blade carried a faint, tsunami-like sonic boom. It was as if his body had transformed into a wave, and his soul power had also become a wave, continuously crashing and slashing at his enemies.
After receiving the benefits again, everyone went crazy.
During each tidal body tempering, they no longer used their soul power to resist the crashing waves. Instead, they gladly accepted the impact of the waves.
This is only human nature.
If there are benefits, people will flock to it.
If there's no benefit, they'll turn around and leave.
With such immense benefits to their cultivation, they voluntarily increased the time they spent cultivating in the waves.
This situation lasted for almost a year.
"Today is the last day!" Xie Yue said.
"Sigh, there's no other way. I can only complete the mission." Yan smiled helplessly.
More than a month ago, they had managed to persevere until the assessment deadline, but instead of completing it immediately, they dragged it out until the very last day, wanting to maximize the time and effectiveness of the Tidal Body Refinement.
