Fury Wave Abyss!
Facing the relentless, ever-rising waves, Chen Yuan felt no pressure at all. However, for Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing, the challenge was significant.
Yet, the greater the pressure, the greater the improvement. Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing had all consumed two immortal herbs. A single immortal herb was enough to lay a solid foundation for a soul master, while two could transform anyone into a peerless genius.
Under the relentless pounding of the waves, the latent medicinal power of the immortal herbs within their bodies, which had not yet been fully absorbed, now brought them tremendous growth. Their physical bodies grew stronger, their spirit power increased rapidly, and their willpower was tempered.
Dugu Yan, originally a level 78 Spirit Sage, broke through to level 80 during the fourth month of tidal body tempering. Over the remaining eight months, she would undoubtedly make even greater progress. However, without a spirit ring, she couldn't break through this bottleneck. Her spirit power would disperse throughout her body rather than condense in her dantian. Once she absorbed her eighth spirit ring, she would experience a massive leap in power.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, through their own cultivation and rewarded spirit power, had already reached level 69. By the second month of tidal body tempering, they successfully broke through to level 70. Similarly, they were stuck without a spirit ring, but their efforts over the next ten months wouldn't be wasted. Their spirit power would disperse into their flesh and blood, waiting to condense in their dantian once they absorbed a spirit ring, bringing them an unprecedented boost.
The one under the most pressure was Ye Lingling. Her spirit power was the lowest, and as a support-type soul master, she had only consumed the Blue Silver Emperor herb, which restored ten thousand years of cultivation.
As a result, her performance in the early stages was the weakest. She often couldn't complete the daily tidal body tempering. However, as she persisted, the life energy within her body was maximally stimulated. The more the waves battered her, the closer she was to her limit, and the greater the improvement in her life energy.
Eventually, she was able to complete the required tidal body tempering within the allotted time. Over eight months, she caught up, rising from level 66 to level 70. Without absorbing a new spirit ring, she had at least matched Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

A year passed day by day.
On this day, Chen Yuan, still chained to the deep-sea silver pillar and enduring the pounding waves, had a glint of silver light in his eyes.
All 360 degrees of his surroundings were captured within his gaze. If someone looked closely, they would notice that while the Fury Wave Abyss existed outside, an identical Fury Wave Abyss was being constructed deep within his eyes.
As time passed, the Fury Wave Abyss within his eyes became more and more complete, eventually indistinguishable from the real one.
With a loud boom, Chen Yuan's spirit underwent a tremendous transformation. Deep within the void, the Mirror Skull Bone, adorned with countless mysterious and intricate space-time runes, began to undergo ultimate sublimation under an intense, dazzling light. It radiated an ineffable aura, reflecting the real world and creating a mirror world that was identical to reality.
Within this mirror world, there was an exact replica of the Fury Wave Abyss. The sound of waves crashing against the shore echoed like thunder.
"I did it! I succeeded!"
Chen Yuan was ecstatic. Over the past year, he had nourished his Mirror Skull Bone day after day with space-time power. Finally, today, it had sublimated into a hundred-thousand-year skull bone.
Although it still had only one skill, it had evolved from "Mirror Space" to "Mirror World." Not only could it split a single skill into multiple skills—Mirror Pupil, Etherealization, Transfer, and Storage—it now had numerous other miraculous uses.
For example, anything that existed in the real world could now be replicated in the Mirror World by consuming spirit power. While the replicated items couldn't be brought into the real world, Chen Yuan could bring people into the Mirror World.
For instance, within the Spirit Hall, the Elder Hall had nine Titled Douluos, and the Worship Hall had seven Super Douluos. If Chen Yuan wished, he could replicate all sixteen of these powerful figures in the Mirror World by expending a massive amount of spirit power.
The replicas in the Mirror World possessed 100% of the original's strength. If he encountered a troublesome enemy, he could simply bring them into the Mirror World and let them be overwhelmed by the sixteen Titled Douluos.
If he didn't have enough spirit power to sustain all sixteen Titled Douluos simultaneously, he could replicate Ju and Gui Douluo. Their martial soul fusion skill, "Polar Restraint Domain," would be incredibly useful.
Moreover, the tremendous enhancement of the Mirror Skull Bone also boosted Chen Yuan's spiritual power, pushing it to a new level—close to the pinnacle beneath the rules, comparable to a level 99 Ultimate Douluo.
He could now clearly perceive the elemental energies flowing through the world: mountains, rivers, thunder, rain, vegetation, birds, fish, and insects. He felt that if he could take one more step, break through the bottleneck, and surpass his limits, he could command the energies of heaven and earth with a single thought, unleashing devastating power.
All of this was thanks to the enhancement of the Mirror Skull Bone. Now, the Mirror Skull Bone was no longer just an ordinary hundred-thousand-year spirit bone. The space-time runes flowing through it had touched the realm of rules.
To achieve this, Chen Yuan had only gained two levels of spirit power over the past year, rising from level 88 to level 90. Given his talent, gaining only two levels in a year was unusual. The reason was that he had converted a large amount of spirit power into space-time energy through the Evil God Pearl to nourish the Mirror Skull Bone. Through this process of accumulation and transformation, the 85,000-year Mirror Skull Bone had finally evolved into a spirit bone exceeding a hundred thousand years.
However, despite his significant improvement, the Sea God did not grant him any additional rewards. After all, he was merely a companion examinee. The true candidate for the Sea God's Nine Trials was Dugu Yan.
As the familiar voice echoed in Chen Yuan's mind—"Top-level Trial, three-ninths complete. Rewards will accumulate and be awarded upon completion of all trials"—he knew that Dugu Yan had successfully passed the third trial of the Sea God's Nine Trials.
With a few clicks, the chains binding Chen Yuan's limbs unlocked. He activated his flight skill and flew to another deep-sea silver pillar, where he shared a smile with Dugu Yan. Then, he carried her back to the cliff.
By now, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling, who had also completed their trials, were standing beside Bo Saixi. Bo Saixi said gently, "Congratulations on completing the third trial. The fourth trial is not under my jurisdiction. You've worked hard this past year. Take some time to rest before starting the fourth trial."
