Chapter 236: Wind Laughing Heaven's Black Level Six Trials
Facing the Sea Horse Douluo's reminder, Huo Wu did not hesitate at all.
"Senior, I want to take the Sea God Island trial; no matter how difficult, I will strive to pass it."
The Sea Horse Douluo shook his head helplessly: "Since you are so persistent, I will say no more. I hope you take responsibility for your life. With your talent, even if you don't join Sea God Island, you still have a very broad future."
Huo Wu now looked full of confidence: "Senior, I am certain I can pass Lord Sea God's assessment; I am no less than anyone else."
Next comes Oscar, who is also the most troublesome to pass among everyone, after all he belongs to the Food System.
However, Oscar seemed to have prepared in advance, pulling out a Copy Mirror Sausage and dropping a pre‑collected drop of Wind Laughing Heaven's blood onto it.
After Oscar consumed the Copy Mirror Sausage, his whole body changed rapidly, and, like Wind Laughing Heaven, he was possessed by a swift dual‑headed demon wolf of the wind.
Then Oscar plunged into the sea, using the same method as Wind Laughing Heaven, employing the Blade Blade Array and Demon Wolf Storm soul skills to pass the Sea Within Sea.
At this moment the Sea Horse Douluo stared at Oscar, speechless, unable to find such a strange martial soul.
"Young man, can you tell me what your martial soul is? I saw you just pass the trial; how did your martial soul become a dual‑headed swift wind demon wolf, and your soul skills are very similar to the previous examinee's?"
Oscar smiled: "Senior, I am of the Food System; my martial soul is Sausage. If I have a soul skill that can copy other people's martial souls and soul skills, then I can copy Wind Laughing Heaven's martial soul."
The Sea Horse Douluo nodded: "I have never seen a Food System Soul Emperor as young as you; perhaps such a case does not exist in Soul Master history. Moreover, your physical condition is extremely robust, likely not weaker than ordinary Battle Soul Masters. You are qualified to undergo Lord Sea God's assessment."
Next, Qin Shuang and Ning Rongrong together venture into the Sea Within Sea.
Qin Shuang transforms into a massive Vajra Bear, while Ning Rongrong summons a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to augment Qin Shuang's strength, defense, and speed.
Facing the oncoming wave, the Vajra Bear's huge paw slaps the wave, shattering it completely.
Ning Rongrong and Qin Shuang grew up together, their coordination extremely swift as they race forward.
After Qin Shuang repeatedly broke through the waves, a wave unexpectedly circled around Qin Shuang and struck Ning Rongrong.
At the critical moment, a massive Spiral Sphere appeared in Ning Rongrong's hand; its explosive power shattered the entire wave, even causing the surrounding sea water to form a huge vortex.
Qin Shuang and Ning Rongrong seized the opportunity and sped through the Sea Within Sea.
The Sea Horse Douluo watched the two, a slight twitch at the corners of their mouths, amazed not only by their coordination but also by Ning Rongrong's unique circumstance.
The Sea Horse Douluo first looked at Qin Shuang: "Young lady, your martial soul is very powerful; especially in strength, speed, and defense, all are excellent. The Vajra Bear's advantages have been fully realized. You are qualified to pass Lord Sea God's assessment."
Then the Sea Horse Douluo turned to Ning Rongrong: "Young lady, may I ask what your martial soul is, and what was the technique you just used to shatter the wave? You should know that the wave was likely a Soul Emperor‑level attack."
Ning Rongrong now appeared unusually obedient: "Senior, my martial soul is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The technique I just used was the Self‑Created Spirit Skill Spiral Sphere, which Xiao Xiongzi taught me."
The Sea Horse Douluo was a bit puzzled: "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? How does it relate to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
Ning Rongrong quickly replied: "Senior, I was born in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; my martial soul evolved from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
The Sea Horse Douluo was again utterly astonished; he had heard of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Even overseas, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's strength and its world‑first supportive martial soul, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, are renowned. Especially now that this girl's martial soul has even evolved, how powerful could her supportive ability be?
However, after a pause the Sea Horse Douluo spoke: "Young lady, you are an Auxiliary System Spirit Master; the difficulty of Lord Sea God's assessment is the same, perhaps you will be at a disadvantage. Do you still insist on continuing the trial?"
Ning Rongrong pointed at Oscar beside her: "Senior, even Big Sausage Uncle, who is also of the Food System, can take the trial, so I have no problem at all, especially since I have Xiao Xiongzi's help."
The Sea Horse Douluo was at a loss for words upon hearing this, unsure whether to continue persuading this exceptionally gifted little girl.
The last to pass the Sea Within Sea was Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong leapt straight into the Sea Within Sea, moving forward with unusual composure.
Facing the massive oncoming wave, Yang Xiong was not frightened at all and kept walking forward.
The wave struck Yang Xiong, but it had no effect; his body seemed as solid as a mountain, not even a tremor.
Even the biggest wave could not impact Yang Xiong; ultimately he simply walked straight through the Sea Within Sea.
Even the Sea Horse Douluo was astonished; he had seen countless people cross the Sea Within Sea, but never anyone as casual as Yang Xiong.
The Sea Horse Douluo shook his head: "Your name is Yang Xiong, right? Your physical quality is stronger than I imagined, even surpassing me. So, despite a gap in Soul Power Level, your combat ability is likely not weaker than mine. Do you still wish to take the Sea God Island trial?"
Yang Xiong nodded: "Thank you, senior, for the reminder. I came specifically to pass Lord Sea God's assessment, so I can pursue a higher realm of Soul Mastery. I hope you will see fit to support me."
The Sea Horse Douluo looked at the eight people before him, feeling a surge of shock.
Considering their ages, the oldest among Yang Xiong's group is probably Wind Laughing Heaven, yet still under thirty.
The others are generally well below thirty, many even under twenty‑five; such strength and talent are unimaginable.
Especially Yang Xiong: although his Soul Power Level is low, his terrifying physical quality shocked the Sea Horse Douluo, who even wondered whether he could defeat this Soul Saint before him.
At this moment the Sea Horse Douluo's expression was solemn: "Sea God Island welcomes anyone to take the trial, welcomes anyone to join Sea God Island, but could you tell me your origins?"
Yang Xiong nodded: "Senior, my elder brother Yang Wei, Ning Rongrong, and Qin Shuang all come from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; Oscar is a freelance cultivator; Wind Laughing Heaven, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu were born in the Yuan Su Xue Yuan. We have no ties to the Spirit Hall, and in fact we are enemies."
The Sea Horse Douluo finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect truly lives up to being one of the top three sects; indeed it produces talent. Sea God Island does not inquire about origins; as long as you are not from the Spirit Hall, you may join."
Now the Sea Horse Douluo looked at the crowd with a strange feeling; these people have outstanding talent, and their martial souls are all kinds of bizarre—there are Auxiliary System ones, Material System ones, and even special martial souls like Yang Xiong's and Huo Wu's.
The Sea Horse Douluo surveyed everyone: "Your group possesses exceptional talent; I will remind you once more that all Sea God Island trials are decreed by Lord Sea God. Once you partake, failure means only death."
"Moreover, Lord Sea God distinguishes between Land Spirit Masters and Sea Soul Masters; a normal Sea Soul Master's trial lasts ten years, whereas each of your trials is only one year. One could say the difficulty for a Land Spirit Master is ten times that of a Sea Soul Master. You can still withdraw now, but if you fail, everyone will die."
Yang Xiong and the others exchanged glances and in unison said: "Senior, please arrange our trial; we will not retreat."
The Sea Horse Douluo now appeared exceedingly reverent: "One step forward."
Wind Laughing Heaven glanced at Huo Wu and, without hesitation, stepped forward to stand at the front.
The Sea Horse Douluo placed both hands on his chest; at this moment he looked utterly reverent, and a blue light emerged between his hands.
As the blue light grew stronger, it resonated with the massive Sea Horse Pillar behind him.
The Sea Horse Pillar seemed to sense the Sea Horse Douluo's action, becoming dazzling; a blue light followed the ancient patterns upward, finally reaching the top.
The entire Sea Horse Pillar emitted a dazzling blue glow; a beam shot out from its tip, swiftly enveloping Wind Laughing Heaven under the Sea Horse Douluo's guidance.
The color of the light orb gradually shifted from blue to white, then from white to yellow, yellow swiftly to purple, and finally the purple deepened into black, growing ever more intense.
Whether it was the middle‑aged steward who arrived with Yang Xiong and the others, or the Sea Horse Douluo himself, everyone was utterly stunned, even showing a hint of pity.
Wind Laughing Heaven was enveloped by the black light, which finally formed six beams that surged into his forehead, creating a black hexagonal star.
Each beam seemed to carry a line of text, visible only to Wind Laughing Heaven.
The Sea Horse Douluo forced a wry smile: "Black Level Six Trials have two more stages than my own trial back then; I wonder if that's your luck or your misfortune."
Wind Laughing Heaven couldn't help but ask: "Senior, what is the Black Level Six Trials?"
Seahorse Douluo's expression was solemn: "Sea God will assign different levels of trials according to an individual's aptitude and degree of faith; the specific trial content is divided by Soul Ring level, and the difficulty of the trials varies."
"The trial contents, from low to high, are White Level Trial, Purple Level Trial, Black Level Trial, and Red Level Trial; the corresponding contents differ as well. After passing trials of different levels, one's status and privileges on Sea God Island are also different."
"Among them, the White Level Trial and Yellow Level Trial are relatively simple, while the Purple Level Trial has one to three types of trial content."
"The Black Level Trial is much harder than the Purple Level Trial; it ranges from a minimum of four stages to a maximum of six stages. You are a Black Level Six Trials, which is the most difficult among the Black Level Trials."
"Once any Black Level Trial is passed, one can become one of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island. I was originally a Black Level Four Trials; back then I also endured countless hardships and, after decades of arduous training, barely passed. The most troublesome part is that each of your trials only allows one year."
The crowd was again astonished at the difficulty of the Sea God Island trials; they hadn't expected that Seahorse Douluo was only a Black Level Four Trials, and that becoming a Title Douluo was so hard. Then Feng Xiaotian must be even more troublesome.
Feng Xiaotian, however, wore a solemn expression: "Senior, I am confident I will pass the trials; no matter how difficult, I will not feel the slightest fear."
Among Yang Xiong's party, Feng Xiaotian is the strongest besides Yang Xiong himself, and he possesses Innate Full Soul Power; he can be called a prodigy of heaven and has always been full of confidence in himself.
