Chapter 498: Sea God Island: Everyone's Trials

"No, we come from the Gu Lei Kingdom on the Douluo Continent, as well as various academies," Feng Xiaotian said, stepping forward, then pointed to Lv Lingqi, "This girl is the Crown Princess of the Gu Lei Kingdom."

"A kingdom? I know that on the continent there seem to be the Spirit Hall, the Upper Three Sects, and the Two Great Empires, but I am not clear about this Gu Lei Kingdom. How can a mere kingdom have so many geniuses? And since you come from different academies, why are you gathered together?" Sea Horse Douluo questioned.

He had lived on Sea God Island for many years and did not know much about affairs on the continent; even the currently flourishing Gu Lei Kingdom was completely unknown to him.

"Because we have all joined the Gu Lei Kingdom," Shui Yue'er said with her hands on her hips, "Senior, although our Gu Lei Kingdom does not have as great a reputation as the Two Great Empires right now, even the Two Great Empires, when they were founded, didn't they also develop slowly from kingdoms? Why can't we have so many geniuses? This only shows that our country has entered a period of rapid development."

"Haha, that is true. The little girl is right; it was my presumptuous speech. Any power develops gradually from being weak. I should not have questioned the strength of your country." Hearing this, Sea Horse Douluo's tone improved significantly. Since this Gu Lei Kingdom had no enmity with Sea God Island, then it did not matter.

His temper was also quite good; as a Title Douluo, he would actually apologize to Shui Yue'er, a mere Soul King.

"However, are you really sure you want to participate in the trials of my Sea God Island? I must warn you, the Sea God's trials have different requirements for Sea Soul Masters than for Land Soul Masters. It is at least several times harder for Land Soul Masters, and the time limits are also different. Sea Soul Masters can take ten years to complete one trial, but Land Soul Masters must complete one trial within a year. Once you fail, the result is death. It might still be in time for you to change your minds now."

"Senior, we will never go back on our word. I must obtain power to return and help my husband. Please grant me the trial," Lv Lingqi said firmly.

"Good spirit, and your talent is also very strong. To have already reached the Spirit Saint level at such a young age is truly outstanding. Little girl, when you grow up, you will surely be a pillar of your Gu Lei Kingdom," Sea Horse Douluo remarked with emotion.

"Very well, since your resolve is set, then follow the order in which you stepped onto the platform and accept the trials one by one."

Knowing that these people were not from the Spirit Hall was enough; he had no spare time to exchange pleasantries with them and went straight to the point.

Sea Horse Douluo slowly raised both hands, his face full of piety. He lifted his hands to his chest, palms facing each other with a half-foot gap. A faint blue light slowly appeared in the center of his palms, and as the blue light gradually increased, Lv Lingqi felt that this radiance was of the same origin as that in the Vast Sea Universe Cover.

When the blue light filled the palms of Sea Horse Douluo, it suddenly bloomed, causing the entire Shengzhutai to be suffused with a clear blue glow. Immediately after, a flash of light appeared beneath the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, and a blue light spread upward along the patterns on the sacred pillar. In the blink of an eye, it rose to the very top.

Sea Horse Douluo turned around and looked at Feng Xiaotian. The one who had arrived here first just now was him, the fastest among all of them, and his aptitude was also the second highest among these people, second only to that Crown Princess of Gu Lei.

A blue pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping Feng Xiaotian's body. The color of the light pillar began to change, shifting from blue to white. Immediately after, it rapidly changed from white to yellow, and with almost no pause, it transformed into purple, the purple gradually deepening.

The speed of this transformation was a bit slower this time, but it continued to change until it turned black and stopped. Sea Horse Douluo's expression was one of extreme shock; it was actually a Black Level trial right from the start.

Immediately following, a total of six black rays of light shot out, transforming into six golden cards. On each card, some special golden characters flickered, and at the same time, the mark of the God Trial appeared on Feng Xiaotian's forehead—a black hexagram.

This represented that this was the highest level among the Black Level trials: the Black Level Six Trials.

Feng Xiaotian originally possessed innate full soul power and had been bestowed with a Spirit Pill refined from an Immortal Herb by Nan Feihuang, further strengthening his aptitude. His more than three years of training in the Hurricane Canyon had also tempered his soul power and physique.

With such aptitude, it was not strange to receive the Black Level Six Trials.

Seeing that he had obtained the Black Level Six Trials, Feng Xiaotian was also exceptionally excited. Before coming, Feihuang had long since done the homework for their group, and they knew the grading of the trials. The colors of the God Trials corresponded exactly to the colors of the Spirit Rings: white, yellow, purple, black, red, and gold. Among them, black represented the potential of a Title Douluo. If the Black Level Four Trials were for an ordinary Title Douluo, such as the Sea Horse Douluo before them, then the Black Level Six Trials were the potential of a Super Douluo.

"Black Level Six Trials, you are indeed a genius," Sea Horse Douluo praised.

Hearing this, Feng Xiaotian was still quite proud, after all, he had been praised by a Title Douluo, but the next moment, Sea Horse Douluo poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"But don't be happy too early. The Black Level Six Trials are the hardest among the Black Level trials. It took me forty years to pass the Black Level Four Trials, and you must complete them within six years. In my opinion, you are dead for sure."

"Senior Sea Horse, do not look down on people. Xiaotian will definitely succeed, and so will I!" Huo Wu stood out, dissatisfied. She had already confirmed her relationship with Feng Xiaotian on the way to Sea God Island, so how could she allow others to look down on him?

"I am next, please grant me the trial, Senior."

Sea Horse Douluo sighed, "Truly, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Since that is the case, let the Sea God judge you all again."

The blue light condensed once more and shone toward Huo Wu.

The change in color was exactly the same as just now, starting from white and gradually turning to black, finally transforming into four rays of light. It was also a Black Level trial. Now, after taking the Spirit Pill, Huo Wu also had the potential of a Title Douluo.

Huo Wu was also joyful in her heart. She knew that her aptitude was quite a bit worse than Feng Xiaotian's, so she did not harbor any delusions of obtaining the Six Trials like him.

It was good enough to secure the Black Level; this meant that she still had a great chance of becoming a Title Douluo in the future.

Wasn't the Sea Horse Douluo before her also only a Black Level Four trial?

Looking at the fairly satisfied Huo Wu, Sea Horse Douluo was a bit unsettled this time. What was going on? The Black Level trial was a high-level trial second only to the Top-tier Trial; two appeared at once today? Before he could recover, he discovered that what truly surprised him was yet to come.

Yu Tianxin, who possessed the Top-level Spirit Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, obtained the Black Level Five Trials. Although the Tianxin martial soul was strong, his innate soul power was insufficient; not only was it far inferior to Feng Xiaotian's, but it was also a bit behind Yu Tianheng's. The Five Trials could be considered his limit.

Huo Wushuang, Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, and Yao Zi, the four whose martial soul quality was a notch lower, were all Black Level Four trials, just like Huo Wu.

Meng Yiran was more miserable, having only the Purple Level Three Trials. Her aptitude was indeed much worse compared to the others. Thinking back to the Academy Tournament, these people, except for Shui Yue'er, were at least level 42 to 44 Soul Ancestors.

She was only a Soul Elder, and although Shui Yue'er was also a Soul Elder at the time, her age was several years younger. Under such circumstances, her obtaining only a Purple Level trial was actually well-deserved.

If not for the Spirit Pill and medicine bestowed upon her by Feihuang, she would likely have been at most like Bai Chenxiang in the original work, obtaining a Yellow Level trial, which would have been about it.
