Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 79 Black-Level Assessment and Top-Level Assessment

"Are you Soul Masters from the mainland?" The leader looked at the group with an unfriendly expression.

"You can tell from that?"

The middle-aged man said coldly, "Of course you can't sense it, but we Sea Soul Masters can. Leave here immediately; Seagod Island does not welcome you."

Li Ye said calmly, "Isn't Seagod Island open to joining through trials? Why are you keeping everyone at arm's length?"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "It seems you do know something about Seagod Island. I'm letting you leave for your own good. It's simply impossible for a land-based Soul Master to pass the test and join our Seagod Island."

Li Ye glanced at the people behind him, then turned to them and smiled, "Seniors, now that we're here, we won't leave easily."

The middle-aged man looked at the crowd and said, "I hope you won't regret this. Follow me." With that, he led the yellow-clad sea spirit masters into the woods.

The group followed the yellow-clad Sea Soul Masters into the forest with high vigilance. Who knew when the test would begin? Now that they had set foot on Seagod Island, they had to remain alert at all times, no matter the circumstances.

Before long, the group passed through the woods, and the scene before them astonished them. What lay before them was a pool of water that looked like a sea within a sea.

In the center of the pool, there is a triangular platform with a strange stone pillar standing on it. An invisible and strange energy is emanating from this strange pillar. A person sits at the foot of the stone pillar with his eyes closed and his back to the pillar, seemingly meditating.

"Welcome to the Sea within the Sea. The Seahorse Pillar," the middle-aged man in yellow said in a peculiar tone.

"Reporting to Lord Seahorse, a foreign land-based Soul Master has come to undergo a test. Please grant permission."

The man in black, seated beneath the seahorse pillar on the triangular platform, suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful voice rang out, "Land-based Soul Masters who wish to accept the Sea God's test? Only by crossing the Sea within the Sea and arriving before the seahorse pillar will you be qualified to accept the test."

Li Ye looked at Shui Bing'er and gestured for her to freeze the Sea within the Sea directly, as wasting time here was pointless.

Shui Bing'er nodded slightly to him and then came to the seashore. Stepping on the fine, silvery sand, the eyes of the yellow-clad sea spirit masters involuntarily fell on her. They could all clearly feel an extremely cold aura emanating from Shui Bing'er.

In an instant, Shui Bing'er released her own Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, and six soul rings of yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and red appeared one after another. Even the Seahorse Douluo, who was more than 200 meters away, couldn't help but be slightly moved when he saw Shui Bing'er.

With a wave of his right hand, Seahorse Douluo caused the waves in front of him to surge.

Faced with this situation, Shui Bing'er showed no fear whatsoever: "Freeze!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally turbulent sea water froze instantly, and a layer of solid ice three meters thick appeared on the sea surface in an instant. Everyone crossed the sea within the sea safely.

Seahorse Douluo slowly said, "Stand in the order you came on stage earlier."

As he spoke, he pressed his hands down, and everyone felt a surge of energy spreading out, instantly melting the seawater that had been frozen by Shui Bing'er.

Seahorse Douluo slowly walked to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, his eyes shining with piety as he faced it. "One person, step forward."

Needless to say, Dai Mubai was the first to step forward, stopping a step behind Seahorse Douluo.

Seahorse Douluo slowly raised his hands, his face full of piety. He brought his hands to his chest, palms facing each other with a half-foot gap between them, and a faint blue light slowly appeared in the center of his palms.

Six beams of black light shot out simultaneously, appearing before Dai Mubai and transforming into six square light screens. Each screen displayed unique golden characters. The characters on the first screen shone brightly, while those on the other five screens were relatively dimmer.

Seahorse Douluo's lips twitched slightly as he smiled wryly, "Black-level sixth trial. Two more trials than I did back then."

The six beams of light converged, transforming into six points of black light that simultaneously entered Dai Mubai's forehead, leaving a black six-pointed star on his forehead, its color as black as ink.

Zhu Zhuqing's situation was similar to Dai Mubai's, but she had one less test than Dai Mubai, making her a Black-level Fifth Test.

After being baptized by the immortal herb, Oscar has taken an extra test compared to the original character, and his talent is now significantly stronger than before. Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun have also taken eight and five tests respectively.

"More than six tests, more than six tests..." Ning Rongrong muttered as she arrived in front of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar and bowed slightly to it.

Without hesitation, the Light of the Sea God traversed the transition from white to yellow, and from yellow to purple, swiftly entering the strange black world. The black magic patterns rose sharply, and then, the magic patterns that had covered the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, previously tinged with black, instantly changed color, transforming into brilliant crystals. A beam of red light also shot into the sky, piercing straight into the heavens.

On Poseidon Island, thousands of eyes were turned to the sky almost simultaneously. Among them, six black-clad elders, who were also standing in front of different stone pillars, exclaimed the same words almost at the same time after seeing the red light.

"Top-level Eighth Exam."

Even in the center of Poseidon Island, within a special temple, a pair of eyes that had been closed for ten years opened upon the appearance of this red light. A faint surprise, mixed with even greater joy, spread across her face. Her body, motionless for ten years, slowly rose to her feet.

The red light gradually faded, and the eight red light screens disappeared into Ning Rongrong's forehead, transforming into a strange red eight-pointed star.

Although Seahorse Douluo was shocked, he still patiently issued tests to Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Ye Lingling. The level of the tests did not surprise Li Ye, as they all stopped at the sixth level. However, Li Ye, Shui Bing'er, and Tang San were not to be underestimated, as they all possessed divine inheritances.
