Chapter 93: The Sea God's Trial

Tang San was secretly shocked in his heart, never expecting Zhou Yu's soul power to far exceed his own.

Even more shocking was that the other party also possessed a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

Zhou Yu suddenly chanted lowly, then roared out: "Seventh Soul Skill, Spirit Avatar!"

In an instant, a magnificent blue dragon soared into the sky, circling him, imposing and majestic.

As Zhou Yu moved his body, that blue dragon seemed to hear its master's call, charging forward swiftly, tearing through the long sky.

—Boom, boom, boom, boom! Amidst a series of deafening roars, the waves on the sea surface surged violently, yet seemed to part automatically, opening a path for him.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu had crossed the heavy waves and stood steadily upon the Seahorse Sacred Pillar Platform.

The Seahorse Douluo could not help but look Zhou Yu up and down, his gaze suddenly turning cold: "Stand in order of arrival."

Seeing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly explained: "Senior, please rest assured! We are not from the Spirit Hall. You should have seen it too; Rongrong's martial soul is the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The two beside her are Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing; they hail from the Xingluo Diguo imperial family. Tang San at the very back, who has not yet attempted the trial, is from the Clear Sky Sect. As for Oscar and me, we are free Spirit Masters."

Indeed, after hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, the Seahorse Douluo's expression softened.

Subsequently, he walked slowly to the front of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, facing the Sacred Pillar, with a look of devotion shining in his eyes.

"Who will go first?"

Everyone's hearts tightened; they knew the true trial had arrived.

The first to step forward was still Dai Mubai; he walked to stand behind the Seahorse Douluo.

The Seahorse Douluo's expression gradually became solemn; he slowly raised both hands, his fingertips lightly suspended before his chest, palms separated by half a foot, as if echoing each other from afar.

He turned to face Dai Mubai, his right index finger lightly tapping, pointing directly at his body.

A beam of brilliant blue light poured down from the sky, enveloping Dai Mubai entirely.

Bathed in this strange light, Dai Mubai's face showed slight confusion, obviously feeling nothing unusual.

Witnessing the transformation of the light around Dai Mubai, a trace of surprise flashed across the Seahorse Douluo's face.

In an instant, that purple light had completely transformed into a deep black, almost swallowing Dai Mubai's figure entirely within that pillar of light.

At the same time, the Seahorse Sacred Pillar behind the Seahorse Douluo saw its bottom patterns quietly turn black, slowly spreading upward toward the pillar's top.

Six beams of light as black as night suddenly burst forth, instantly converging before Dai Mubai's eyes, transforming into six square light screens; on each layer of light screen, special golden characters flickered.

The corner of the Seahorse Douluo's mouth twitched slightly; he smiled bitterly: "Black Grade Six Examination! Two more examinations than I had back then. Sea God, could this person be a sinner?"

The six light screens contracted, turning into six points of black light that simultaneously sank into Dai Mubai's forehead; on his forehead, a black six-pointed star appeared, its color like ink.

Dai Mubai seemed to feel something; the blankness in his eyes was replaced by depth. He said not a word, quickly stepped back several paces, sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and frowned slightly, as if pondering something.

The second to step forward was Zhu Zhuqing; she likewise closed her eyes, sat cross-legged after the black light surged into her forehead, and pondered silently. On her forehead, a black five-pointed star appeared.

Black Grade Five Examination. Second only to Dai Mubai's Black Grade Six Examination; the difficulty was self-evident.

The third was Oscar; like Dai Mubai, he too received the Black Grade Six Examination.

And when Ning Rongrong stepped forward, the dark demon patterns originally adorning the Seahorse Sacred Pillar transformed in an instant, shedding all gloom and turning into a dazzling crystal red.

Immediately, a beam of brilliant red light shot forth from that Sacred Pillar, piercing straight into the clouds; its color resembled fresh flowing blood, tearing the tranquil blue sky and dyeing it with a heart-stopping crimson radiance.

"Top—Grade—Seven—Examination?!"

On Sea God Island, thousands of pairs of eyes almost simultaneously turned toward the sky.

Among them, six old men in black robes, each standing before a differently styled stone pillar, upon seeing this red light, all revealed intense, uncontrollable light in their eyes.

In the center of Sea God Island, within a special temple, a pair of eyes that had slumbered for a full ten years quietly opened due to the sudden appearance of this red pillar of light.

A barely noticeable surprise on his cheeks intertwined with a deeper joy; the body that had slept for ten years slowly and steadily rose upright again.

The Seahorse Douluo was completely stunned; red, it was actually the red representing the top grade! He bowed slightly and paid a bow to Ning Rongrong: "Miss! May I ask your full name?"

Ning Rongrong said in surprise: "Senior, my name is Ning Rongrong."

The Seahorse Douluo swallowed his saliva, his tone carrying a hint of respect: "To serve as your examiner is truly my honor. In the days to come, if you have any needs on the island, come find me directly. I will do my utmost to solve your troubles."

Oscar, to make Ning Rongrong happy, pretended to be indignant and said: "Unfair, too unfair. I want the Top Grade Seven Examination too!"

Because of Ning Rongrong, the Seahorse Douluo's attitude toward others also became much gentler; he said to Oscar indifferently: "Sea God's Light has only one chance to bestow."

At this moment, Tang San, somewhat excited, stepped forward and said: "Senior! Then let us continue."

Having spoken, he looked at Zhou Yu and asked: "Lin Yu, may I go first?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and gestured with his hand for him to step forward.

At this time, the Seahorse Douluo's mood had fluctuated several times, yet it fully displayed his steadiness as a Title Douluo.

He thought secretly: "Even if another Black Grade Six Examination appears, I will absolutely not be surprised."

Under the Seahorse Douluo's presiding, Sea God's Light descended once more.

"..."

Under everyone's gaze, three beams of light as black as night suddenly burst forth, finally transforming into three points of black light that sank into Tang San's forehead.

On his forehead, a black three-pointed star appeared.

"Three blacks?"

Tang San found it hard to believe; he actually only had the Black Grade Three Examination.

Seeing this, everyone revealed expressions of disbelief.

One must know, Tang San possessed a Double Martial Soul, and was born with full soul power.

His talent was higher than Dai Mubai and the others.

Unfortunately, the fact was right there before their eyes; even if he was unwilling, it would be of no use.

Zhou Yu slowly stepped forward, raised his hand, lightly patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "Tang San, Black Grade Three is not bad!"

"Yes, Xiao San! Grade Three is enough!"

Dai Mubai also chimed in.

Oscar, standing aside, secretly rejoiced in his heart.

His examination grade was lower than Ning Rongrong's, and that was a happy thing.

And his examination grade was higher than Tang San's, which was an even happier thing.

Just then, the Seahorse Douluo looked toward Zhou Yu and said, "You are the last one, step forward!"
