Douro Continent

Bai Chenxiang, who was born in the Min clan, was best at speed, but when she took the first step into the Poseidon's light, Bai Chenxiang's expression suddenly changed.With just this step, she already felt that it was difficult to move even an inch.Tide-like pressure repulsed her body, and a faint golden mist began to rise beneath her feet.

No wonder, no wonder they can't do it just by climbing a few dozen steps.From the looks of it, I seem to have trouble with even ten steps.No, no, I can't fall behind.Everyone is about the same age, why can they do it but I can't?

Gritting her teeth tightly, Bai Chenxiang began to climb with determination in his eyes.

Tang San looked at Bai Chenxiang's difficult but firm steps, with a gratified smile on his face, hoping she could gain something here.

Lifting his right arm, and slowly pouring spiritual power into it, Tang San called out to Xiao Wu's soul sleeping in the soul bone of his right arm.

This was the first time that he took the initiative to call Xiao Wu's soul. In the past, he was afraid of hurting Xiao Wu because of the appearance of her soul, but this time it was different. If there was no effective communication with Xiao Wu, then he would have to take her body to climb the mountain. , can easily cause irreparable damage.

The Blue Silver Emperor was released, and the sleeping soul of Xiao Wu in the soul ring and soul bone was quietly released under the guidance of Tang San's spiritual power. Xiao Wu's delicate body in Tang San's arms trembled slightly, and the originally dazed light gradually glowed with dazzling energy.

"Brother -" a soft call deeply touched the softest part of Tang San's heart. Resisting the urge to kiss her, Tang San said: "Xiao Wu, we have arrived at Poseidon Island. Everything we have experienced before has you Can you feel it?"

To Tang San's surprise, after Xiao Wu called him, his face suddenly changed and became covered with a layer of frost. She broke away from Tang San's arms and turned her head away from looking at him.

This was the first time this happened since Tang San and Xiao Wu got to know each other.Tang San couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Wu snorted and still ignored Tang San, but walked directly in the direction of the stone steps. Obviously, although her soul was hidden in Tang San's soul ring and soul bones, she still knew everything about the outside world. Yes, and also understood the purpose of Tang San calling her out.

Watching Xiao Wu start to climb the stone steps, Tang San scratched his head. Even though he was as smart as he was, he still didn't understand why Xiao Wu suddenly ignored him and seemed to be very angry.They have known each other for so many years, but Xiao Wu has never lost her temper with him. Where did her anger come from today?

Not daring to neglect, Tang San hurriedly followed, climbing up the stone steps beside Xiao Wu.

Bathing in the Poseidon's light for the second time, Tang San felt different again.With the last experience, he found that his body's endurance seemed to have increased.Especially the first few steps, although the pressure is still there, it seems not so scary anymore.

"Xiao Wu, don't ignore me! What's going on?" Tang San asked anxiously in a low voice as he climbed up, regardless of how speaking would affect the movement of his soul power.

Xiao Wu had already stepped up to the third step. After giving Tang San a sideways look, her little mouth visibly pursed a bit, and she continued to move up.

Golden mist filled the air, and as it climbed upward, the pressure gradually increased, and the Xuantian Technique in Tang San's body also began to work faster.To his surprise, Xiao Wu climbed up very quickly and continued to climb without hesitation. In a short time, the two of them caught up with Bai Chenxiang in front of them.

Bai Chenxiang's movements had become very slow. She stood on step No. 14 and moved her legs forward with difficulty.Her pretty face turned red, the four soul rings on her body kept flashing, and her body twisted slightly, as if looking for a flaw in the pressure.A layer of water mist mixed with the golden light mist swirled around her body. Obviously, she had reached her limit.

This is the gap in strength. Body, martial soul, soul power, soul bone, all aspects of strength are added together. There is indeed an insurmountable gap between her and the Shrek Seven Devils.But she didn't give up, and still gritted her teeth and persevered.

Tang San suddenly thought of something, and when he passed by Bai Chenxiang, he said to her: "Don't be too reluctant, and you must not let the Poseidon's light bounce your body back into the ring sea. You don't have that test of light to protect your body. You will be attacked by sea soul beasts in the ring sea."

What surprised Tang San was that after continuing for a long time, Bai Chenxiang finally stepped onto step No. 15, but her body was already trembling and swaying.There was a hint of joy in her pretty red face. Only she knew that this step had led her to break through the limit.She clearly felt that her soul power, which had not been improved for a long time, had broken through and reached level 46.

No more reluctance, Tang San's reminder made her dare not try again, imitating Tang San's appearance before, and slowly backed away.

While Tang San was talking to Bai Chenxiang, Xiao Wu had already continued climbing up and reached the twenty steps.Tang San was surprised to find that Xiao Wu's climbing speed was actually faster than when he first entered the Poseidon's Light.

How is this going?Could it be said that Xiao Wu's strength has surpassed his own?no, I can not.Tang San still clearly remembered that when Xiao Wu offered sacrifice to him again, her soul power level was between level 61 and level 62.These days, she has not been able to practice, so how can she be stronger than herself?

Speeding up his pace and adjusting his internal strength, Tang San chased Xiao Wu.Facing the powerful pressure of the Poseidon's Light, his soul power, which had just returned to its best form, began to be consumed at a high rate again.But this time Tang San learned wisely.In order to save soul power.When he climbed the No. 20 step, he displayed his God of Killing Domain and Blue Silver Domain at the same time.Sure enough, as he expected, under the influence of the two major fields, the pressure was greatly reduced. The climbing process from level [-] to level [-] was obviously much easier than the first time, and the consumption of soul power was naturally reduced a lot.Domains consume soul power and mental power, but since they are all innate domains, the consumption is actually not very large, at least much less than the pressure brought by Poseidon's Light.

But despite this, Tang San only caught up with Xiao Wu when he climbed the fifth step of No. 30.

Xiao Wu's steps forward also became difficult, each step became extremely slow. Tang San still clearly remembered that the first time Dai Mubai climbed, he fell at the 35th step. At this time, Xiao Wu has already climbed the sixth step of No. 30.

what happened?Xiao Wu's strength has surpassed Mu Bai's?Tang San was startled, and the control of his soul power suddenly loosened. He suddenly felt that the pressure on himself increased greatly, and his progress slowed down.Fortunately, this was only the fifth step of No. 30. He quickly gathered his thoughts and followed Xiao Wu forward.

He could have been faster than Xiao Wu now.But he didn't care about Xiao Wu, he just guarded Xiao Wu. He didn't want anything to happen to Xiao Wu.By following her, if something happens, you can respond in time.

What surprised Tang San was that although Xiao Wu's progress was difficult.But gradually, the forty steps have been passed.

This was her first time climbing, and she didn't use any skills. Why did this happen?You know, after the pressure on the human body reaches its limit, it is very difficult to move forward even one step further.It's impossible for Xiao Wu's body to be better than Dai Mubai's, right?

With doubts in his heart, Tang San wanted to remind Xiao Wu not to force anything.However, after passing the forty steps, he was under tremendous pressure and could not make a sound to remind Xiao Wu, otherwise he would not be able to move forward.

However, Xiao Wu's surprise to him was not over yet. Her body began to twist slightly, as if it was a change caused by being unable to withstand the pressure, but Tang San soon discovered that it was not that simple.Xiao Wu's slightly twisted body always maintained a fixed rhythm. It seemed that every time she twisted, the pressure brought by the Poseidon's light slipped away from her, and she still maintained the momentum of advancement.

At the same time, a layer of golden-red brilliance began to appear on Xiao Wu's white and tender skin.Seeing this layer of golden red, Tang San suddenly understood why Xiao Wuwu could continue to move forward after climbing to this place with him.

Yes, Xiao Wu sacrificed her soul to herself, but her body also later consumed two kinds of fairy herbs.

If Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is just a medicinal herb, then Acacia Heartbroken Red is the best among the best.Among the medicines that Tang San brought back from the Eyes of Ice and Fire, the most precious one was the Emperor of Immortals, Acacia Heartbroken Red.At that time, after Xiao Wu got the herb, she didn't eat it because she felt sorry for it. As a result, her soul power was far lower than everyone else's.

Later, she sacrificed herself to Tang San. When she was about to die, Tang San helped her take this fairy herb, which brought Xiao Wu's body back to life.Later, the crystal blood dragon ginseng, in addition to its own medicinal effects being absorbed by Xiao Wu, its greater role was to fully unleash the medicinal effects of the Acacia heartbroken red hidden in Xiao Wu's body.The reason why Xiao Wu has been so sleepy these past few days is probably because he has to absorb the effects of the medicinal herbs while resting.Not only has her soul power improved, but the extent of the improvement is probably quite terrifying, and it may not even be lower than her own.Those are two great immortal products!It also includes Acacia Heartbroken Red, which is said to help people cultivate the indestructible body of Vajra.No wonder Xiao Wu's body's endurance is so strong, and her soul power has also increased significantly.This is the reason.

At this time, the golden-red light emerging from her body should come from the effect of the Heartbroken Red.I just don’t know if her body has reached the level of invulnerability.

After figuring out the key, Tang San suddenly felt confident, and followed Xiao Wu, the two of them continued upward.

Xiao Wu's rhythmic and strange twisting seemed to be very effective. Although it was not as good as Tang San's field, it also greatly enhanced her ability to withstand pressure. After the improvement of the Acacia Broken Heart Red Washing Muscles and Yi Marrow, her body It has also reached a point where the machine is strong and strong, and it actually moves forward step by step, gradually approaching the next step.

After stepping onto the stairs, Xiao Wu's steps finally stopped, with a look of pain on her pretty face. Instead of continuing forward, she slowly began to retreat.Tang San did not try to move forward, but poured all the remaining soul power into his two major domains. The domain expanded, covering Xiao Wu's body and accompanying her downwards.

With the support of Tang San's two major areas, Xiao Wu's frown relaxed, she glanced at Tang San, and gradually quickened her pace.Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Bai Chenxiang, who was soaked in sweat, was already sitting aside and starting to practice. As soon as Tang San came down, he immediately supported Xiao Wu's delicate body. Since he didn't push the limit this time, he still had a lot of soul power left, and his physical condition not bad.

"Xiao Wu, how are you? Are you okay?"

Xiao Wu shook her head gently, "My body hasn't reached its limit yet, but my soul can't bear it. With the help of your field, I think it won't be a big problem to advance to the sixty steps." So, if you just take my **, you don’t need to consider my ability to bear the first sixty steps. In fact, I may be able to bear even more. The transformation of the body caused by Acacia Heartbroken Red is amazing. I feel guilty now. When I look at it, I can see that my meridians, blood, and bones all seem to have turned golden. Not only are they hard, but they are also extremely flexible. This may be related to the fact that I originally practiced soft skills."

Tang San nodded and said: "Return to my body quickly. The soul must not be damaged."

Although Xiao Wu was leaning on Tang San's shoulder, her eyes had lost the previous tenderness, "So what if I'm damaged? You'll be worried about me, but what about yourself?"

"Me?" Tang San was stunned for a moment, looking at the angry Xiao Wu, he couldn't help feeling a bit silent.

Xiao Wu said bitterly: "Tang San, remember this, if you forcefully prevent my soul from coming out next time I'm in danger, I will never pay attention to you again."

Looking at Xiao Wu's eyes filled with hatred, Tang San finally understood where her anger came from.When facing the final attack of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale that day, Tang San prepared to sacrifice himself to attack in order to save his friends.And in order to prevent Xiao Wu's soul from being damaged, he forcibly used his mental power to restrict Xiao Wu's soul in the soul ring and soul bone, preventing it from coming out.In this case, even if Tang San himself dies, Xiao Wu's soul can still be contained in the soul bone, and there is still hope of survival.

"So you're angry because of this..." Tang San wanted to explain, but he, who was always smart, didn't know how to start.

Xiao Wu opened her mouth and bit him hard on the shoulder. Tang San grinned in pain, "Brother, let me come out and climb with you every day from now on. The feeling of pressure just now seems to have affected my body and soul." The tendency to exercise. If my guess is correct, after the soul is exercised, it should be able to possess the body for a longer time in the future. I will go back first. Don’t forget what I said, hum, if there are any flaws again, I will..."

At the end of the sentence, her eyes finally turned soft and charming again, and her touching eyes almost drew away Tang San's soul. Amidst the surge of red light, Xiao Wu's delicate body softened, and her soul returned to the soul in Tang San's body. Among the rings and soul bones.

Xiao Wu's soul returned, and Tang San couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He found that Xiao Wu's anger had an even greater impact on him than when he climbed the 55 steps with the Poseidon's light.

At this moment, Tang San heard deliberately suppressed snickering coming from behind.When he turned around to look, he saw that except for Bai Chenxiang, all his companions had woken up from their cultivation state and were looking at him with smiles on their faces, not without a hint of gloating in their misfortune.

The ones who laughed the hardest among them were naturally Dai Mubai, Oscar and Ma Hongjun, the three bad friends.

Tang San said with some embarrassment: "Why are you laughing?"

Dai Mubai coughed, and said: "Little San, it's like this. In fact, being afraid of your wife is also a kind of happiness. Everyone is a man, I understand you."

Tang San said angrily: "Then you are also very afraid of Zhuqing?"

Dai Mubai raised his chest, and said: "How come? I'm afraid of my wife?" While talking, he quietly glanced at the ghost civet next to him who had started to change his face, and hastily added, "We treat each other as guests. "

Oscar laughed and said: "Okay, Boss Dai, don't explain. None of us brothers know about you and Zhuqing. However, I didn't expect that the mistress, who has always been so strong, also has such a weak side, haha, Ha ha ha ha."

"Little Ao." Tang San's face suddenly became calm.

Oscar froze for a moment, "Why?"

Tang San squeezed each other's hands, making a crackling sound of bones, "Although you now have a copy of the mirror intestine, you can use any of our soul skills. But, after all, you were a food-type soul master before. In actual combat, Your abilities still need to be improved. Come on, let me help you improve your actual combat abilities. I think the pressure I bring to you will definitely be of great benefit to your strength."

Seeing Tang San's serious look, the smile on Oscar's face suddenly solidified, "Xiaosan, you are not like this, you are just avenging a private revenge. Rongrong, save me." As he said this, he flew away to Ning Rong in a very shameless manner. Behind the glory.

But who knew, Ning Rongrong nodded with deep approval and said, "I think Third Brother is right! Your actual combat ability really needs to be improved."

Oscar rolled his eyes and said with a playful smile: "Then you want to give me an increase, is that possible?"

Before Ning Rongrong could speak, Tang San already said: "Okay. Come on."

Oscar immediately jumped out from behind Ning Rongrong, "Xiaosan, let's start now. The actual combat time is 3 minutes."

Tang San glanced at him, "We haven't fought yet, but our momentum has been exhausted. Three minutes is enough."

How could he not see what Oscar was thinking? This guy obviously saw that he had just climbed fifty steps and his soul power was greatly consumed. Moreover, he had the boost from Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so he believed that he had a chance to win. .However, just as Tang San said, as a former food-type soul master, can his actual combat ability compare with Tang San?

3 minutes later... "Ah..., mistress, I hate you. This is naked revenge. You are seeking public benefit for your own benefit..."

Oscar looked so embarrassed at this moment.In the 3-minute battle just now, he directly ate a copy of the vision sausage that was inspired by Tang San's blood, and immediately copied another version of himself. The main body used the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit, and the clone used the Clear Sky Hammer. Ning Rongrong's increase also fell on him.

But even so, the result was still a disastrous failure.

The only thing that cannot be copied by copying the mirror intestine is the skills attached to the soul bone.Tang San only used a very simple method to completely defeat Oscar's original body and clone.

Teleport, ghost, and small grappler.The Tang Sect's martial arts does not fall into the scope of soul skills, so naturally it cannot be copied.Under Tang San's flickering attacks like a violent storm.Oscar only relied on Tang San's fourth soul skill to survive for a while at the beginning, and was instantly defeated.

Of course, Tang San wouldn't attack him too hard, he just threw him solidly a few times.Oscar fell so hard that he felt like his body was falling apart.

Seeing Oscar's unconvinced expression, Tang San chuckled, and said: "There is no way, even those who are afraid of their wives are strong."

Oscar looked at Tang San helplessly, jumped up from the ground, and said with a grimace: "It's really not a 01:30 point difference. It seems that my actual combat experience is indeed not good. However, the key is your soul bone skills. It’s too perverted. The teleportation is just a cheating skill! And that absolute defense. It’s too perverted.”

Tang San said: "Skills are one thing, and the person using them is another. Otherwise, I don't need teleportation and the invincible golden body. Let's do it again?"

Looking at the cunning light in Tang San's eyes, Oscar shivered smartly, "Forget it, don't let me take the bait. I won't give you the chance to torture me. Let me go back and practice hard. Practical experience is really needed. Strengthen it, otherwise how can we protect Rongrong?"

Of course, Tang San had a sense of revenge. After all, when a man is said to be afraid of his wife, and it turns out to be the truth, he will be a little bit angry.But at the same time, he is also reminding Oscar that as a food-related person, if he wants to show his strong strength in battle, he must put in more effort to practice actual combat.

"Fat man, what are you hiding from?" Dai Mubai stretched out his hand and pulled out Ma Hongjun who was hiding behind him.

Ma Hongjun smiled coquettishly, looked at Tang San and said, "Third brother, I didn't see anything just now. I don't have to fight anymore." As he said that, he also looked at Bai Chenxiang who was practicing beside him, as if he was afraid that she would see this. Yes, I looked deflated.

Seeing the funny expression on Fatty's face, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Tang San sat down on the ground, said: "Who wants to fight with you? Didn't you see that I just came down from the mountain? Another fight with Xiao Ao, the soul power has been exhausted long ago."

Upon hearing this, Oscar immediately encouraged him from the sidelines, "Fatty, this is a rare opportunity for you to abuse your mistress! Come on, fight him."

Ma Hongjun immediately said with righteous indignation: "Third brother, I'm not the one who picks things up. You see, this guy Xiao Ao actually picks on me and our brotherhood. If I were you, I can't bear it. It's okay, brother will help you protect, you reply quickly Soul power, and then teach him how to actually fight."

Oscar looked at the fat man dumbfounded, "Damn it, fat man, when did you become so cowardly? You still provoke things."

Ma Hongjun chuckled and said: "Smart people know that they should stand by the side of the strong. Of course I am on the third brother's side. If you think that the third brother really has no soul power, why don't you join? What if I fell in love with you? Of course, I am a fool."

"You..." Oscar looked at Ma Hongjun speechlessly, and raised his foot to kick him, but the fat man deftly dodged him.

In desperation, the challenge failed, Oscar threw out two large recovery sausages to Tang San, coughed, and put on a straight face, speaking of him, he was handsome in person, as long as he didn't smile, he really looked like a gentleman, "Stop making trouble .Come on, let's talk about our experience climbing stairs."

Everyone looked at Oscar who changed the subject with amused faces, but no one came to expose him at this time.Tang San asked: "I was practicing before. How many steps have you climbed?"

Oscar's face turned red and he said: "I used a copy of the mirror sausage and barely reached level 27. Fatty was at level 32, Rongrong was the worst, and couldn't survive at level 130. Zhuqing reached level [-]. Speaking of which, I We and Rongrong were at a great disadvantage when we traveled through this Poseidon's Light. Neither of us are combat-type soul masters. Although our soul power is not bad, our attributes also increased when we obtained soul rings. But compared with you combat-type soul masters, It's still a lot worse. It's mainly reflected in the body's toughness and auxiliary soul skills. Without the help of soul skills, it's almost impossible to move forward. I'm a little better, and I have the help of a copy of the mirror intestine, so I can use your skills. Ke Rongrong It is very difficult. Her body is the weakest. Even if she uses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to increase her strength, she cannot make her body stronger. And she has more stairs to climb than us. [-] Six steps, only one year Time, I’m afraid…”

At this point, Oscar no longer changed the subject, and his eyes revealed unconcealable worry.

Tang San also didn't expect that Ning Rongrong could only climb twenty steps. Oscar was right. Because he and Ning Rongrong had special surnames as auxiliary spirit masters, the martial soul's effect on the body was far less than that of the battle spirit master. powerful.Climbing the stairs is naturally much more strenuous than others.

"I have endured the pressure of Poseidon's Light twice, and I have felt some of the changes. It seems that this test is extremely difficult for each of us. However, there are also flaws in it. The test given by Poseidon is absolutely It won’t be unachievable. If my calculations are correct, I can help one person complete this task even now.”

Tang San's words immediately aroused everyone's astonishment, they didn't understand where Tang San's confidence came from.

Tang San continued: "When Xiao Wu and I climbed up the stairs just now, I used the power of my domain to assist her in her descent. My domain can also act on her. And after previous exploration, we found that although this Poseidon's Light It's powerful, but it can't stop auxiliary soul skills and soul skills that amplify oneself. Not each of us is tested here alone, don't forget, we are a whole."

Ning Rongrong said: "Third brother, what do you mean, if we concentrate all of our power on one person, then we can help him complete this test?"

Tang San nodded and said: "That's what I mean. Although not all of us can use skills to assist others. However, Xiao Ao's sausage, your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower's various auxiliary abilities, my God of Killing, Blue Even in the Silver Double Domain, they can amplify their partners. Especially Mubai himself has three body-strengthening skills. As long as he uses all his amplifying skills before entering the Poseidon's Light, plus his The bloodthirsty effect of the soul bone, and the three of us fully assisting him, I believe we can help him complete the test."

There was a lot of light in Dai Mubai's evil eyes, he suddenly jumped up from the ground, "So that's it, then what are we waiting for, let's try now."

Tang San said: "No, don't worry. Although I have 70.00% certainty that I can help you complete the test, I absolutely can't complete it now. Moreover, not only can you not be the first to complete the task, you even have to be placed last. You can finish it with me at the end. I have to think about the specific order."

Ma Hongjun said: "Third Brother, why don't you help Boss Dai complete the task first? Every time one more person completes the task, won't we be able to relax a bit?"

Tang San glanced at him and said solemnly: "I just don't want any of us to feel relaxed in advance. I have thought about it carefully, and from the look on Seahorse Douluo's face when he saw you taking the black level assessment, It can be seen that this black-level test is extremely terrifying. And it is obviously an impossible task for us at this level. It takes them ten years for sea soul masters to complete each test, but we only have one year. However, Poseidon Will we be given a task that is really impossible to complete? The answer must be no. Therefore, in the test given to us by Poseidon, there must be some mystery that can help us pass the test. And this mystery lies in our identical first Test, crossing, Poseidon’s light.”

"Regardless of whether the Seagod is a real god or not, we can see from the situation on Seagod Island that he is at least a powerful existence with power beyond our imagination. If so, why does the Seagod's Light give us the opportunity to cheat? ?Since the Seagod's Light that appeared on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar can give us different assessments according to our different situations, it is impossible not to know that we can help each other. As God, he naturally does not It will be counted as a leak. Therefore, the flaw here is actually a temptation for us. If we can't stand this temptation, perhaps the second test is our death."

This time, even Dai Mubai couldn't understand, "Little San, what you said is too exaggerated, right?"

Tang San smiled calmly and said: "No. Boss, listen to me. What I said is no exaggeration, and I am more than 90.00% sure that I can prove that my guess is right. Let me ask you, after the previous climb If you practice again after that, do you feel that your cultivation level has increased significantly and your body has a good response?"

Everyone nodded one after another, and the situation similar to Tang San also appeared on them.

Tang San said: "That's right. The Poseidon's Light here is a huge pressure for us, and it can squeeze our soul power to a large extent. Under the influence of this pressure, the speed of our cultivation will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. At the same time, the body's own ability to withstand stress will continue to be enhanced. So, after completing the test, will the Poseidon's light still prevent us from climbing to the Poseidon Temple? The answer is also no. In other words, as long as we complete the first test, will lose the pressure brought by Poseidon's Light. Therefore, I can tell you with certainty that the meaning of time travel and Poseidon's Light as the first test is not to make things difficult for us, but to give us an opportunity to enhance our own strength. Only here In the first year, with the help of Poseidon's Light, we can improve our strength as much as possible, so that we can pass the subsequent test. Therefore, not only can we not complete this test in advance, but we also have to delay the completion until the last day. Let Maximize the benefits that Poseidon’s light brings to us.”

Papapapa, just as everyone listened to Tang San's words and fell into deep thought, applause sounded, and at some point, that red figure appeared again, but this time she appeared at the very place leading to the Sea God Temple. ladder.

Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi walked down slowly, her noble face was full of admiration, the applause came from her tender white palms.

(To be continued)
