The aftershocks of the auction are still reverberating.
The shock brought by Poseidon's divine power baptism lingered for a long time. Most soul masters were still immersed in the joy of their improved soul power, exchanging their experiences in twos and threes. Their gazes toward Ning Liu and his group had long lost their initial hostility and scrutiny, and were instead filled with complex and indescribable awe.
Under Liuli Tian's supervision, the post-auction settlement was extremely efficient.
"Sect Leader Ning, Your Holiness the Pope, Sect Leader Tang, Rongrong, please change your ways first, I have something to attend to."
Ning Liu gave a brief explanation and then turned and left the Sea God Temple.
...
Before long, Ning Liu arrived at a room and pushed open the door to enter.
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shui Bing'er were sitting together, chattering about the Sea God's test they had just experienced.
"You're back!"
Xiao Wu immediately hopped over like a rabbit and affectionately took his arm.
"How's it? It's so lively outside!"
Ning Liu nodded and said:
"I've come over here to give you something good."
"What good stuff?"
Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes and curiously came closer. Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing were also drawn to her.
Ning Liu stopped keeping him in suspense and flipped his hand, revealing the "Heart of the Ocean" in his palm.
Buzz!
The moment it appeared, the air in the entire room seemed to become moist and fresh, and an extremely pure ocean scent rushed over, invigorating the three women.
"Wow!"
Xiao Wu's eyes instantly turned into stars.
"What beautiful stones! Brother, what are you doing...?"
Ning Liu smiled and handed the Heart of the Ocean to her. "I won't explain this. It should be very useful for your Nine Trials of the Sea God. Take it."
Xiao Wu was stunned.
"This...this is so direct?"
"Take it if it's given to you."
Ning Liu gently ruffled Xiao Wu's hair, his eyes softening.
"What else is there between us? Absorb it quickly, let me see the effect."
Simple and direct words, yet they warmed Xiao Wu's heart.
She no longer refused and nodded emphatically: "Yes!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of envy and... in each other's eyes.
Xiao Wu sat cross-legged, holding the Heart of the Ocean in her hands, and slowly poured her soul power into it, following Ning Liu's guidance.
The next moment, something unexpected happened!
As if summoned by some force, the Heart of the Ocean suddenly burst forth with a dazzling azure light, illuminating the entire room as an underwater world.
Then, it transformed into the purest liquid energy and merged into Xiao Wu's brow.
Xiao Wu's body trembled slightly, and a look of comfort appeared on her face.
She felt as if she had returned to her mother's embrace, enveloped by the gentlest seawater, and every cell in her body was rejoicing.
The most astonishing change occurred on her forehead!
The trident of Poseidon, which had originally been marked with only a faint mark, suddenly shone with golden light!
The light was so intense that it even pierced through the roof, forming a small golden pillar of light above the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, a piece of information that only Xiao Wu could "see" clearly appeared in her mind.
[Poseidon's affinity increased!]
Current affinity: 40%!
boom!
Forty percent!
It's worth noting that after completing the first test, "Time Travel, Light of the Sea God," her affinity level only increased to ten percent!
And now, having merely absorbed a piece of the so-called Heart of the Ocean, the affinity has skyrocketed by thirty percent!
What a terrifying improvement!
Xiao Wu suddenly opened her eyes, her surprise and shock almost overflowing:
"My affinity with the Sea God... has dropped to forty percent!"
"What?!"
Ning Liu smiled slightly upon hearing this.
The results were even better than he had imagined.
He made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice:
"Very good. Xiao Wu, let's strike while the iron is hot, let's go take the second test now!"
This sudden decision surprised all three women.
But Xiao Wu felt an unprecedented surge of power within her body, as well as a deep sense of connection with the sea, and a feeling of pride welled up within her.
She nodded emphatically, her voice clear and firm: "Okay! I'll do as you say!"
She stood up and pulled Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing along.
"Bing'er, Zhuqing, go and call the others, let's go together!"
