Chapter 94: The Sea God's Assessment

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, then roared out: "Seventh Soul Skill, Spirit Avatar!"

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

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

—Bang bang bang bang! Amidst a series of deafening booms, the waves on the sea surged, seemingly parting automatically to open a path for him.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu had crossed the heavy waves and stepped steadily onto 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; 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 considered free Spirit Masters."

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

Afterwards, he walked slowly to the front of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, facing the Sacred Pillar, with a look of piety 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, fingertips lightly suspended before his chest, palms separated by half a foot, as if responding to 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 not feeling anything 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 up towards the pillar 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 every layer of light screen, special golden characters flickered.

The Seahorse Douluo's mouth corner 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, transforming into six points of black light that simultaneously sank into Dai Mubai's forehead; on his forehead, a black hexagram 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 person to step forward was Zhu Zhuqing; she also closed her eyes, sat cross-legged after the black light surged into her forehead, and pondered quietly. On her forehead, a black pentagram 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 also had the Black Grade Six Examination.

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

Immediately after, a beam of brilliant red light shot out 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 breathtaking crimson glow.

"Top—Grade—Seven—Examination?!"

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

Among them, six old men in black robes, standing before different styles of stone pillars, saw this red light and all displayed an uncontrollable, intense light in their eyes.

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

A barely noticeable surprise and a deeper joy intertwined on his cheeks; the body that had slept for ten years rose again in a slow and steady rhythm.

The Seahorse Douluo was completely stunned; red, it was actually the red representing the top grade! He bowed slightly and saluted 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, as long as you have any needs on the island, just come to me. I will do my utmost to solve your worries and difficulties."

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 towards others also became much gentler; he said to Oscar indifferently: "Sea God's Light only grants one opportunity."

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

After speaking, 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 hosting, 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 triangle star appeared.

"Three blacks?"

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

Seeing this, everyone showed expressions of disbelief.

It must be known that 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 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 rank was lower than Ning Rongrong's — that was a happy thing.

And his examination rank was higher than Tang San's — that was an even happier thing.

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