Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 433 The Divine Test of the Crowd

The small test of the Seahorse Douluo was nothing to everyone. Even Bai Chenxiang, who had the lowest cultivation level, managed to break through the turbulent water flow of the Seahorse Douluo on her own and, relying on the absolute acceleration of her martial soul, was the first to break through the water barrier!

Before Bai Chenxiang could even feel happy, she saw Han Feng and Ning Rongrong waiting beside Seahorse Douluo with the Flame Spirit Cat!

This surprised Bai Chenxiang. In terms of talent and cultivation, Bai Chenxiang knew her own limitations. Apart from Ye Lingling, everyone else was someone she couldn't even come close to. But when it came to speed, Bai Chenxiang was confident that she was the fastest in the team!

She's a Swift Spirit Master, and she uses all her spirit skills to accelerate!

But in reality, Han Feng arrived at the Seahorse Pillar at a speed that even she couldn't detect, ahead of everyone else!

And she even brought Ning Rongrong and the Flame Spirit Cat with her!

This greatly frustrated Bai Chenxiang.

"Xiangxiang!" Ning Rongrong was unaware of Bai Chenxiang's thoughts. She simply took Bai Chenxiang's small hand and chatted with her with a radiant smile. If Ning Rongrong knew what Bai Chenxiang was thinking, she would probably burst into laughter. After all, although Han Feng seemed calm and collected, Ning Rongrong knew that Han Feng had even opened the Supreme Defense Isolation Domain to prevent the influence of the Seahorse Douluo Domain!

After Bai Chenxiang reached the shore, the others followed closely behind and all reached the shore safely, without even a drop of water on their bodies!

This made Seahorse Douluo even more convinced that the successor of the Sea God must be among this group of people!

Unfortunately, Seahorse Douluo didn't know who it was.

Although Seahorse Douluo had just seen everyone's cultivation level and martial soul, just as Dai Mubai said, it was just a small disturbance and couldn't reveal much. Tang San only used the Ghost Shadow Step to get here, so how could Seahorse Douluo see anything else?

"Stepping into this place means you must accept the test from the Sea God. Have you thought it through?" Seahorse Douluo asked with a gentle smile.

At this point, there was no longer any doubt that Seahorse Douluo was a Saint Pillar Douluo. Tang San stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "To be honest, senior, that's exactly why we've come!"

"Alright!" Seahorse Douluo chuckled, stepping aside to reveal the altar behind him. He said, "Once you step into this place, you will enter the realm of the gods! The Sea God will bestow upon you a test. Who will go first!?"

"I'll go first!" Oscar beat everyone else to the punch, grinned, and strode into the altar area without hesitation!

hum-

Almost the instant Oscar entered the altar, an indescribable power surged forth from beneath it. A light, not dazzling but filled with a sacred aura, rose from below and enveloped Oscar. Oscar was clearly somewhat bewildered, but he ultimately suppressed the urge to jump off the altar and instead turned his gaze to Seahorse Douluo, hoping that Seahorse Douluo could provide an explanation.

But at this moment, even the Seahorse Douluo looked astonished!

He wasn't surprised by the light of the sea god appearing on the altar; he was surprised that the altar reacted as soon as Oscar entered it!

Seahorse Douluo remembered very clearly that he waited for a breath before the altar gave a response!

Even so, the Seahorse Douluo's assessment was still a Black-level Level 4 test!

"Could he be the successor of the Sea God!?" Seahorse Douluo couldn't help but wonder, his gaze towards Oscar gradually changing—recalling that when Oscar broke through the waves, even he couldn't see through Oscar's martial soul. This unknown added to Oscar's mystery, making Seahorse Douluo think more about it.

Oscar did not disappoint Seahorse Douluo. When the light of the sea god appeared, the Seahorse Sacred Pillar shone with a layer of bright white light. Then, without lingering on the yellow, it broke through three layers of purple and plunged into the black in an instant!

At that moment, even the Seahorse Douluo's breath caught in his throat!

However, Oscar was not a successor of the Sea God. After six layers of black appeared, a red light flashed, but then disappeared, eventually settling on the six layers of black.

After a breath, the light dissipated, and Oscar was sent out of the altar. Oscar quickly found a place to sit cross-legged, his face solemn, and a black six-pointed star appeared between his eyebrows.

"White, yellow, purple, and black, and it's six layers. How come it feels so similar to the Soul Master realm? Is the Sea God's Trial based on cultivation level? Is it because that bastard Oscar is a six-ring Soul Emperor, so he got six layers of black light?" Ma Hongjun looked at Oscar, not disturbing him, but couldn't help asking.

"Sigh!" Seahorse Douluo sighed and explained, "That's one way to understand it. The levels of the trials are indeed determined by the color of the spirit rings and the spirit master's realm, but the level of the trial isn't based on cultivation level or any other standard. I don't know the specific evaluation criteria very well, but it's nothing more than talent and temperament!"

"The higher the talent, the higher the assessment level; the more cruel and vicious the character, the higher the assessment level will be!"

"Of course, the sea god is merciful. Even the most heinous criminals can receive a generous reward as long as they survive the trials he bestows and cleanse their sins!"

"Uh..." Seahorse Douluo rambled on, but Ma Hongjun clearly didn't understand. His face fell, and he awkwardly asked, "What level is that bastard Ao's sixth layer of black light? Is it good or bad?"

Seahorse Douluo glanced at Ma Hongjun, then said slowly, "My assessment back then was the fourth level of Black Light, the fourth test of the Black Rank!"

"Holy crap!?" Ma Hongjun understood immediately from this simple statement, and exclaimed in shock, "So, this means that bastard Ao's talent is even higher than yours, senior!?"

Oscar has a history of petty tricks and evil deeds, but he has never committed any major crimes. To call him cruel and vicious would be giving him too much credit. The fact that he was able to obtain the sixth level of the Black Trial is clearly because Oscar himself is highly talented!

That being said, pointing it out directly to Seahorse Douluo's face was really disrespectful.

Tang San, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled back the outspoken Ma Hongjun, chuckled awkwardly, and respectfully bowed to Seahorse Douluo, saying, "Since that's the case, may I ask why you sighed, Senior?"

Seahorse Douluo didn't bother arguing with Ma Hongjun. He simply glanced at the sky with a complicated expression and said quietly, "I've served on Seagod Island for hundreds of years. There have been no fewer than a hundred Black-level trials, and most of them were the lowest level, the fourth Black-level trial. But even so, only seven people have survived in the end!"

If one is a descendant of the Sea God, then naturally the higher the better; but if one is an ordinary person, Seahorse Douluo can't help but sigh.

After hearing this, Tang San understood that opportunity comes with danger, and it's all or nothing. This is the Sea God's test!

Even so, just as Seahorse Douluo was about to tell everyone to back down and leave only the successor of the Sea God, he saw Ma Hongjun stride into the altar. The light of the Sea God had already shone, and Seahorse Douluo couldn't stop him in time!

"Are you crazy? You'll die!" Seahorse Douluo couldn't help but shout.

Although Ma Hongjun's assessment level has not yet been announced, Ma Hongjun is already a Soul Emperor in his early twenties. Moreover, judging from his foundation, he is clearly not someone who has just broken through. His martial soul is a top-grade martial soul like the Fire Phoenix. His talent is absolutely comparable to Oscar's. His assessment level is at least Black Level Five!

But at this moment, Tang San spoke up, "Senior, don't worry! Since we said it was for the Sea God's trial, we never intended to give up halfway! Besides, Fatty probably doesn't want to lose to Oscar in terms of talent!"

Seahorse Douluo was clearly confused.

What kind of logic is this? They're willing to risk their lives just to prove they're not inferior to others?

At the same time, Ma Hongjun has begun his evaluation of the sacred pillars, from white, yellow, and purple all the way to black, moving forward without hesitation!

In the end, Ma Hongjun's assessment level was the same as Oscar's, lighting up six layers of black light, both being Black Level Six Trials. After being sent out of the altar, he found a place to sit cross-legged and digest the content of the assessment.

"You!" Seahorse Douluo was about to say something when he saw a flash of light, and Zhu Zhuqing had already stepped inside!

After a few breaths, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the five layers of black light on the sacred pillar, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of dissatisfaction.

But Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything. She knew that her talent was a notch below Oscar and the others, so she didn't feel sorry for herself. She also found a place to sit cross-legged, and Dai Mubai was protecting her.

This scene was so glaring to Seahorse Douluo's eyes!

Back then, he was already terrified during the fourth Black-level trial, and his life was almost over. How come this land-based Soul Master is still looking like he hasn't had enough when he encounters the even more rigorous fifth Black-level trial?

"Chenxiang! Lingling! You two go too!" Tang San glanced at Ning Rongrong, but Ning Rongrong seemed to want to undergo the Sea God's test after Han Feng, so she let Ye Lingling and Bai Chenxiang go to the altar first to undergo the Sea God's test.

Tang San did not intend for everyone to undergo the Sea God's Trial together. After all, judging from Oscar and the others' appearance, they all needed a period of time to digest the Sea God's Trial. Although Tang San no longer suspected the Seahorse Douluo's identity, he still did not want to place his trust in a Title Douluo he had just met.

As for Han Feng...

Han Feng didn't think too much about it; he simply felt that the important person should make a grand entrance last!
