Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 78 Shui Bing'er

Next up are the tests for Feng Xiaotian, Yang Pojun, and Niu Meng.

Xiao Fei didn't pay attention to the two's assessment. Instead, he pulled Shui Bing'er aside and whispered instructions to her, while simultaneously shoving the Vast Ocean Universe Cover into Shui Bing'er's hand.

Now that Xiao Fei has missed the Sea God's Nine Trials, his only hope is Shui Bing'er. Shui Bing'er has consumed the Ice Heart Phoenix Sunflower, and can now fully unleash the power of the Ice Phoenix. Both her talent and martial soul have reached an extremely high level, making her perfectly suited for the Sea God's inheritance.

The only drawback is that Shui Bing'er's soul power level is relatively low. At most, she can only pass the sixth level of the Black-level trial, and she simply cannot pass the first trial of the Nine Trials of the Sea God in a year. In the original story, Tang San had to fight desperately and with various kinds of assistance to complete it.

Next, Feng Xiaotian faced another Black-level Sixth Trial, leaving Seahorse Douluo somewhat bewildered. Yang Pojun and Niu Meng, on the other hand, faced Black-level Fourth Trials, suggesting they possessed the potential to become Title Douluos, though passing the trials would be quite difficult. Feng Xiaotian, as expected, lived up to his reputation as a rare individual with innate full soul power. Despite his advanced age, he still received recognition in the trials.

Finally, it was Shui Bing'er's turn to undergo the test. Holding the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in her right hand, a blue light enveloped her. The scene before her gradually turned red, but this red seemed unstoppable, deepening until it finally became gold. Nine golden rays entered the water, ultimately forming a golden trident between her brows. All seven sacred pillars emitted bursts of blue light, seemingly celebrating something.

"The Nine Trials of the Sea God!" Poseidon and Seahorse Douluo exclaimed. Poseidon looked serious and respectful, while Seahorse Douluo looked puzzled.

Poseidon said softly, "Let me explain. Little girl, I have waited for you for a hundred years. The Nine Trials of the Sea God are for the successor of the Sea God. You must complete the trials given to you by the Sea God with unwavering determination. When you have completed all the trials, you will be the new Sea God."

"Seahorse Douluo, issue the order: from now on, everyone on Seagod Island must meet the conditions of these seven people. They are the most honored guests of Seagod Island."

Seeing the puzzled looks on Shui Bing'er's face, Xiao Fei walked over and said to Shui Bing'er, "Seagod Island is where the Seagod of the Divine Realm inherits his legacy. Participating in the Seagod Island trials is participating in the Divine Realm's trials. The ultimate goal of the Nine Trials of the Seagod is to become a god!"

Amidst everyone's confusion, Huo Wu asked, "Does this world really have gods? Is there a divine realm? Why have we never heard of it before?"

"Of course, there are gods in this world, and there is also a divine realm. Seagod Island is the legacy of the Seagod, and the Angel Temple of the Spirit Hall is the legacy of the Angel God. However, the last time someone in the Douluo World became a god is estimated to be 30,000 years ago."

Then, Xiaofei said seriously, "Regardless of whether we become gods or not, our purpose in coming to Poseidon Island this time is to become stronger. We must stay true to our goals, constantly hone ourselves, and make ourselves stronger."

Everyone nodded.

Following this, led by Seahorse Douluo, the group arrived at Seahorse City near the Seahorse Sacred Pillar. Seahorse City was small, but they sensed over 500 Soul Masters within, all of them high-level. The total population exceeded 1000. This was already the strength of a medium-sized sect. Moreover, Seagod Island had seven Sacred Pillars; the 3500 Soul Masters on Seagod Island were likely all high-level. Their overall strength even surpassed the legendary Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world. Everyone swallowed hard.

Upon arriving in Seahorse City, Seahorse Douluo arranged for them to reside in the City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Fei quickly organized everyone and confirmed the assessment content for each person.

Huo Wushuang said in a deep voice, "My first trial is quite strange; it's called 'Transmigration: The Light of the Sea God.' What about yours?"

Everyone nodded; all the tests were actually about traversing the light of the sea god.

Huo Wu said, "My first test, Transcending the Light of the Sea God, requires you to go to the core forbidden area of ​​Sea God Island and climb the first 108 steps to pass the test. You can quit halfway, and the time limit is one year. My Transcending the Light of the Sea God requires climbing 136 steps."

Huo Wushuang said, "Mine is level 108."

Feng Xiaotian laughed and said, "Mine is also level 108."

Yang Pojun and Niu Meng exchanged a glance: "We are from the 88th level."

Everyone looked at Shui Bing'er and Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei smiled wryly, "Mine is double the Sea God's Light, level 333. Shui Bing'er is the same. However, because Shui Bing'er is a Sea Soul Master, she has ten years. All of us Soul Masters only have one year."

Xiao Fei couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Poseidon, you didn't give me the Nine Trials of the Sea God, but the difficulty is the same as the Nine Trials of the Sea God. Isn't this a rip-off?"

Xiao Si thought to himself that Huo Wushuang would probably have the easiest time among everyone. With diligent training, the others should all be fine. Yang Pojun and Niu Meng were both Battle Soul Masters; although their levels were low, their physical strength was good, and they estimated they could barely pass the test in a year.

The hardest part is probably for himself. Although he's confident he can break through level 80, climbing 333 steps without any assistance is still very difficult. In the original story, Tang San was over level 70 and almost failed in the end. Xiao Fei couldn't help but want to complain again.

In the realm of the gods, within the Sea God's Palace, two enormous figures sat facing each other, one blue and one red. Between them was a tea table, upon which lay various tea utensils.

The blue-clad figure took a sip of tea: "Vulcan, what do you think of my tea? It's alright, I guess!"

The red figure is actually the god of fire, and the blue figure is the god of the sea.

Vulcan took a big gulp of tea and said, "I don't feel anything. I don't know why you guys like drinking this kind of stuff?"

The sea god was speechless: "This is tea leaves from the tea tree of the Goddess of Life, the finest of teas. Giving it to you is such a waste."

Vulcan retorted, "I just love drinking. Tea tastes so bland, it's pointless!"

"Poseidon, why did you give the Ninth Trial of the Sea God to that little girl, the Ice Phoenix? Although this little girl has good talent, and the water attribute is very suitable for you, with her talent, she can at most be a second-level god. Don't create the weakest sea god."

The Sea God smiled and said, "I've been in the God Realm for tens of thousands of years. This little girl with the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul has decent talent and a pretty good Martial Soul. Plus, she has the Heart of the Sea God in her possession. What's wrong with arranging the Nine Trials of the Sea God for her?"

"This little girl's ancestors originally came from Seagod Island, so she can be considered a member of my Seagod Island lineage. Each of the nine trials of the Seagod lasts ten years, adding up to a total of 90 years. If a more suitable candidate is found, this girl can become a second-level god, or be directly recommended to the Ice God. If no more suitable candidate is found, she should be able to inherit my Seagod position after 90 years."

Seeing the sea god's confident and composed demeanor, the fire god couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sea god: "You've certainly got a good plan."

Poseidon smiled and said, "It's just that the talents of those who have participated in the assessment in recent years are a bit low. By the way, what do you think of that kid with the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul? He's quite suitable for your divine succession, isn't he?"

He nodded in the morning: "This kid's martial soul and flames are quite good, and his strength is decent, but he's a bit slippery. The Fire God needs to be as fiery as a raging fire. He still needs more training. Sea God, you need to increase the difficulty of his Nine Trials of the Sea God a bit more, give him more challenges."

Poseidon thought to himself: If it weren't for the fact that our attributes are completely opposite, how could this kid have given it to you, Vulcan? Now look at him, showing off in front of me instead.

Suddenly, the Sea God thought of something. He smiled and said, "Fire God, I think this kid seems to possess a trace of the Asura God's divinity. Could it be that the Asura God might come and snatch your successor?"

The God of Fire's expression changed slightly: "It can't be that bad. The God of Asura is one of the enforcers of the God Realm, and a God-King whose strength ranks among the top five in the God Realm. He shouldn't be interested in this kid."

Suddenly, a flash of red light appeared, and a huge, blood-red figure emerged. The man was tall and imposing, wearing red armor that made him appear even more menacing. It was the Asura God who had arrived.

"Greetings, God of Asura!" The Sea God and the Fire God hurriedly bowed, but inwardly they kept thinking: You just showed up when we were talking about you. Were you spying on us?

The Sea God quickly said, "God of Asura, please have a seat. May I ask what brings you to my Sea God Temple today?"

The Asura God stared at the two of them: "I was merely patrolling near the Sea God's Temple when I came in to see if you had done anything wrong."

"We're just having tea here. How could that be against the rules?"

The two gods appeared very respectful, but inwardly they kept complaining: When it comes to breaking the rules, who in the entire divine realm can compare to you, the God of Asura?

Asura God sipped his tea and said, "This tea is quite good. God of Fire, you can actually appreciate tea? It's good that you haven't broken any rules. You absolutely must not interfere with the normal development of Douluo Star."

The two gods were even more astonished, saying that they actually knew about Douluo Star.
