Chapter 93: The Strange Assessment's Light

Seeing Tang San step forward, the Sea Horse Douluo, who had already experienced several shocks, calmed his state of mind and once again channeled the Sea God's Light.

Blue light shone down, bathing Tang San; strangely, this radiance did not change color, but simply became increasingly intense.

Even for the Sea Horse Douluo, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he did not understand why the blue light did not change.

One must know that even the weakest Soul Master would at least trigger a White Level Assessment, and the strength of the young man before him was clearly not poor.

Just as everyone was surprised, the blue light on Tang San changed; the original single beam of blue light suddenly split into two, and the separated radiance landed precisely on Xiao Wu, whose arm was being held by Ning Rongrong.

The blue light gave a jolt, shaking Ning Rongrong away, and brought Xiao Wu to stand beside Tang San.

Such a strange scene immediately made the hearts of Oscar and the others rise. Xiao Wu had already lost her soul; how could she complete an assessment?

Even the simplest White Level Assessment was something she could not complete! Just then, the color of the light on Tang San had not yet shifted, but the light on Xiao Wu changed directly from white to yellow, purple, and black; the black light did not stop, but turned directly into a beautiful, crystalline red! Tang San was anxious and burning with impatience, yet he could not stop the spread of the red light.

A red screen of light appeared in front of Xiao Wu, then transformed into a red dot of light, which landed on her forehead and turned into a red mark.

At this moment, the light on Tang San also underwent a change.

The light on his body underwent a leaping transformation; blue, white, yellow, purple, black—the various colors flickered almost instantly as they changed to the next.

The black light instantly turned blood-red and surged directly to the highest point of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.

A humming sound, like a great cry or sob, rang out from the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, and immediately after, a blood-colored pillar of light, ten times more intense than the red light Xiao Wu had just triggered, shot into the sky.

The Sea within a Sea instantly boiled, giant waves surged into the sky, and an intense, misty blue light erupted.

Following that, six more massive blood-colored pillars of light shot up from other parts of Sea God Island, converging at a single point in the sky and transforming into a brilliant, ultimate golden light that descended.

The moment this golden light appeared, the entire Sea God Island was completely rendered in gold.

Immediately after, nine golden screens of light appeared before Tang San, and in an instant, these screens transformed into golden meteors, merging into the center of his brow.

On his forehead, a golden trident mark appeared.

Tang San subconsciously touched his smooth forehead, "Senior, red is a Top Level Assessment, so what is this golden assessment? It seems I need to complete nine assessments to pass."

The Sea Horse Douluo shook his head forcefully and looked at Tang San carefully again; what he saw was still that trident brand flashing with brilliant golden light.

"I do not know either," the Sea Horse Douluo said with some difficulty.

Tang San looked at the Sea Horse Douluo in confusion, then pulled Xiao Wu over and asked, "Then what about her?"

The Sea Horse Douluo stared deeply at Tang San, "Why a Top Level One Assessment appeared, I also do not know."

"However, I can tell you what the assessment she faces is. Although she only has one assessment, it is absolutely of Top Level difficulty. Because her trial is to follow by your side and complete the nine assessments."

Hearing the words of the Sea Horse Douluo, Tang San felt a sense of relief in his heart. As long as he could help Xiao Wu, he would be at ease.

This was much better than Xiao Wu facing the trial alone.

Tang San touched his head; he could sense the mark on his head, and it was different from the marks on the foreheads of Ning Rongrong and the others.

He felt a bit troubled in his heart, yet asked the Sea Horse Douluo with a glimmer of hope, "Senior, please think carefully again, what exactly was that golden light just now? Am I facing the Top Level Nine Assessments?"

Just as the Sea Horse Douluo was about to speak, a leisurely voice came from afar; this voice seemed to come from the heavens, beautiful and pleasant, yet possessing a sense of benevolence.

"Do not trouble him. From the time Sea God Island appeared until now, this situation has also been the first to occur. What you must endure is not the Top Level Nine Assessments, but the Sea God Nine Assessments!"

The space before them seemed to distort slightly, and the next moment, a person appeared before the Sea Horse Douluo.

She was entirely shrouded in a bright red robe, with sea-blue long hair draped behind her. Her delicate features looked at most about thirty years old, and her beauty came more from that noble temperament.

In her right hand, she held a three-meter-long scepter; the scepter was golden, carved throughout with magic patterns, and at the head of the staff was a diamond-shaped protrusion like a spearhead. Five inches below the tip of the spear, a diamond-shaped golden gemstone was embedded.

"Greetings, Grand Pontiff."

The Sea Horse Douluo bowed slightly, "This subordinate failed to carry out the guidance of the Sea God well; please punish me, Grand Pontiff."

The red-robed woman smiled slightly, and the Sea within a Sea seemed to ripple because of her smile.

"This is not your fault; I am also seeing such a situation for the first time."

Her gaze fixed on Tang San, "Young man, I have waited for over a hundred years, and finally, in my twilight years, I have met you!"

"Very good, very good, I believe you will certainly be able to complete the trials of the Sea God."

She turned her gaze to the Sea Horse Douluo, "Ouya, pass on my order: until these nine people complete the trials of the Sea God, they are all honored guests of this island; no one is to be negligent or offensive."

"Except for not being allowed to help them complete their trials, satisfy their conditions as much as possible. Summon the other six; we shall discuss matters at the Sea God Hall tomorrow!"

Poseixi turned her gaze back to Tang San, her expression suddenly becoming serious, and a terrifying aura was released from her body.

"You must remember, never let the thought of failure appear in your mind; your assessment concerns the survival of Sea God Island! If you fail, the consequences will be far from as simple as death."

As soon as the words fell, everyone felt a burst of red light before their eyes, and the next moment, the Sea God Douluo Poseixi, who had been standing in front of Tang San, quietly vanished.

"Hoo~"

Everyone could not help but let out a long breath. "Too powerful; just from that trace of aura she released, I felt as if my body was about to be crushed," Oscar said, still shaken.

The others nodded, feeling the same.

Only Ye Ming, looking at the place where Poseixi had disappeared, was lost in thought.

Just then, everyone's gaze turned to him.

Ning Rongrong even spoke with some excitement: "Third Brother's assessment is already so formidable, I wonder if there will be other changes for Brother Ye Ming's assessment!"

Once these words were spoken, the gazes directed at Ye Ming, including Tang San's, were somewhat strange.

In their hearts, they all felt that Ye Ming was the most powerful one among them! This assessment was influenced by strength and potential, so what kind of assessment would Ye Ming have?

Oscar even clapped his hands and said: "Could it be another Sea God Nine Assessments?"

"If that were really the case, would that Grand Pontiff from just now appear again?"

Ma Hongjun spoke with some excitement: "I don't think so; after all, that Grand Pontiff just appeared with a 'swish' and disappeared with a 'swish'."

"If she came again, wouldn't that ruin her aura of prestige?"

As soon as this was said, the Sea Horse Douluo's face turned flushed, and just as he was about to speak, a sea-blue giant hand suddenly appeared in the Sea within a Sea beside him! This sea-blue giant hand instantly appeared in front of Ma Hongjun, grabbed him, and threw him directly into the Sea within a Sea.

In the sky, the voice of the Grand Pontiff Poseixi drifted down leisurely.

"Little fatty, I haven't gone far yet; let this be the only time!"

Dai Mubai and the others looked at Ma Hongjun splashing in the sea and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, you fat pig, that's what you get for having a foul mouth!"

"You've finally met your retribution! Hahaha!"

Even Tang San could not help but smile at this scene.

Only then did the Sea Horse Douluo speak up: "The Grand Pontiff controls Sea God Island and can detect everything."

He looked at Ye Ming with some curiosity and said, "Come on, I'd like to see what kind of surprise you can give me."

By this point, the Sea Horse Douluo's heart had already been numbed by the stimulation from this group of people before him.

He felt that no matter what situation arose, he would no longer be surprised! Among the nine, the one who interested him most was Ye Ming. Even now, he still did not know exactly what level Ye Ming's strength was.

Seeing this, Ye Ming walked slowly to the front of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar and bowed slightly to the Sea Horse Douluo.

"Senior, I have troubled you."

At this moment, his own mood was somewhat complicated.

Ye Ming knew that Tang San was able to receive the Sea God Nine Assessments because he was the successor to the godhood designated by the Sea God.

He had understood this point from the very beginning when he obtained the Vast Sea Universe Cover and it acknowledged him as its master.

As for himself, he had not been able to gain the recognition of the Vast Sea Universe Cover.

Therefore, at this moment, he did not know what kind of assessment he would receive.

"It has to be at least a Top Level Assessment!"

He took a deep breath and stood still in front of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.

Seeing this, the Sea Horse Douluo stopped talking and directly channeled his soul power, unleashing the Sea God's Light for the eighth time today.

The blue light enveloped Ye Ming, but the light did not change color.

This scene was extremely similar to when Tang San received the Sea God Nine Assessments earlier.

The Sea Horse Douluo's heart tightened; could it really be another Sea God Nine Assessments? Ning Rongrong and the others were also staring straight at Ye Ming, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Just then, the blue light erupted instantly, directly enveloping the entire island.

This scene was even more magnificent than the one with Tang San earlier!

Immediately following, a massive blue beam of light shot up from the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, piercing straight into the clouds and disappearing from sight.

Ma Hongjun crawled from the Sea within a Sea onto the high platform and asked the Sea Horse Douluo in astonishment, "Senior, what is going on here?"

"Do you know?"

The Sea Horse Douluo glared at Ma Hongjun, as if substantial killing intent were swirling around him.

Ma Hongjun ducked his head and jumped straight into the Sea within a Sea with a splash.

And at this moment, that blue pillar of light in the sky shooting toward the heavens changed once again! (End of chapter)
