Chapter 295: The Trials on Sea God Island

Haima Douluo turned around, faced Dai Mubai, and pointed his right hand toward Dai Mubai's body.

A pillar of blue light descended from the sky, enveloping Dai Mubai's body.

Bathed in that pillar of light, Dai Mubai looked somewhat dazed; clearly, he did not feel anything.

The color of the light pillar began to change, shifting from blue to white, and immediately after, it rapidly changed from white to yellow.

With almost no pause, it transformed again into purple.

The purple gradually deepened; this time, the speed of the change was a bit slower,

but it continued to change nonetheless.

Watching the changes in the light on Dai Mubai's body,

Haima Douluo seemed somewhat astonished. In a short time, that purple light had completely turned black, almost entirely covering Dai Mubai's body beneath the pillar of light.

And on the Haima Sacred Pillar behind Haima Douluo,

the corners of Haima Douluo's mouth twitched slightly.

"That is the will of the Sea God."

"They were not supposed to come to accept the trials, yet they insisted on coming. The Sea God's trials for Land Soul Masters are indeed..."

He seemed to be pondering something.

Haima Douluo's gaze still held a chill, but he still patiently explained—not to Tang Ba, but to the others.

"The Sea God will conduct different assessments based on different people. The content of the assessment is within the light screen that just appeared, and only the examinee and the examiner can know it."

"Black Level Eight Trials. Two more trials than I had back then."

"But there is one thing you must understand. For us Sea God Island Spirit Masters, the Black Level assessment is one trial completed every ten years."

"He is also the strongest among us, and his soul power has already broken through Level 47."

Once passed, one possesses authority equivalent to a Sacred Pillar Guardian.

"The assessment is not only based on the examinee's strength, but also includes their potential."

Among them,

the patterns at the very bottom also began to turn black, and gradually climbed toward the top.

At this moment, Haima Douluo looked as if he were looking at a dead man, because he himself had almost died here back then.

But the look in Haima Douluo's eyes as he watched Dai Mubai was somewhat complex.

On each layer of the light screen, some special golden characters flickered.

"And among us, only the Sacred Pillar Guardian of the Hailong Sacred Pillar, Hailong Douluo, has undergone the Black Level Eight Trials."

"Even so, my Black Level Four Assessment still caused me to narrowly escape death several times."

The text on the other two light screens was relatively much dimmer.

The three light screens retracted.

But soon, it continued to spread upward; this time, the speed was even faster.

The black light of the Haima Sacred Pillar gradually faded, and everything returned to normal.

The Sea God will not set an assessment that is too high; whatever one's own ability is, that is the assessment one will have.

Haima Douluo added.

Ye Lin listened to Haima Douluo's words without speaking, but had other thoughts.

Haima Douluo nodded slowly.

At the same time, it appeared in front of Dai Mubai, transforming into three square light screens.

An extra black eight-pointed star appeared, its color like ink.

"The more trials there are, the greater the difficulty naturally becomes. The authority gained after passing is also higher."

"Senior, what is the Black Level Eight Trials? Can you explain it to us?"

It turned into three points of black light that simultaneously entered Dai Mubai's forehead. On his forehead,

"And when it comes to the Black Level assessment, there will be at least four trials, and at most eight."

"The final trial I faced was to persist for one hour among the Demon Soul Great White Shark school, excluding the Guardian Divine Beast."

"As far as I know, people on Sea God Island must accept the assessment at the age of eighteen."

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but ask.

The black light patterns climbed until they reached nearly one-third of the Haima Sacred Pillar before pausing for a moment.

It was to tell these young people in front of him how difficult the Black Level Eight Trials were.

"I was one of those who passed that time; the one who passed was the current guardian of the Sea God Island's Sacred Pillar."

"Were you stronger at eighteen than Mu Bai is now?"

"I am your examiner. By passing different levels of assessment, one will also obtain corresponding power on Sea God Island."

Immediately after, a total of three beams of black light shot out like lightning.

"Otherwise, once another Black Level assessment appears, it will be the same as him."

"I had not yet reached Level 40 when I was eighteen; compared to me now, I was much worse."

He did not say a word, quickly retreated a few steps, sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and frowned slightly.

The Yellow-clothed Sea Spirit Masters who had brought them here saw the changes in the Haima Sacred Pillar, and at this moment, their faces were all filled with shock.

Haima Douluo's explanation was very detailed, but the purpose was only one:

"If you exceed the time limit or attempt to escape, then the Sea God Seal previously imprinted on your forehead will burst, obliterating the examinee."

In a short while, the black light patterns had covered the entire Haima Sacred Pillar.

"Wait a moment, Senior. You said Mu Bai has no chance of passing the assessment and will surely die."

"Seeing as you do not come from the Spirit Hall, I can tell you frankly."

"Then, how did you pass the assessment back then?"

"With my strength at the eighty-something level, there was simply no possibility of passing the Black Level Eight Trials; death was certain."

Hearing Haima Douluo's explanation, Tang Ba suddenly asked,

If one fails, there is only one outcome: death.

"The time limit for the Black Level assessment for you Land Soul Masters is that one trial must be completed every year. Only after completing one will the next trial appear."

"What I can tell you is that in the last hundred years, the Black Level assessment has appeared eighty-one times in total; among them, one passed, and eighty failed."

"When it comes to the Purple-Level assessment, distinctions begin to appear. The Purple-Level assessment will have one to three trials. That is to say, if the light emitted from the holy pillar appears before you as one beam, then you must undergo one Purple-Level trial; if it is three beams, then you must undergo three trials to be considered as having passed."

"This is also what I just referred to as the Black Level Eight Trials."

"The trials given by the Sea God are divided into levels. The levels are different, and the difficulty of the trials is also different. Just like the colors of a Spirit Ring, from low to high, they are the White Level assessment, Yellow-Level assessment, Purple-Level assessment, Black Level assessment, and the red Top-Level assessment."

"Once you have accepted the Sea God's trial, you must begin immediately."

"The Black Level assessment has never had anyone who gave up; there are only those who passed and those who died."

Especially that middle-aged Spirit Master, who even revealed a hint of pity. He sighed softly,

"The Black Level Eight Trials can be said to be the most difficult among the Black Level assessments."

"Among them, the Black Level assessment and Yellow-Level assessment will only have one trial. If you pass, you succeed."

"Sea God, is this person a sinner?"

Dai Mubai seemed to sense something, the bewilderment in his eyes replaced by depth,

The text on the first curtain of light shone brightly,

"Therefore, it is also known as Heaven and Hell. I also did not expect that the Sea God's assessment for you Land Soul Masters would be so difficult. It is still not too late for you people to regret it."
