Chapter 278: The Assessment of the Group

"Is this girl someone chosen by Asura?" Doubt rose in the Sea God's eyes. "What the hell is this exaggerated Soul Ring configuration? Can a mortal really possess this? She isn't a Twin Spirits user, is she? And why are there so many powerful soul bones in her body? Could it be that that guy Asura made a move in secret?"

"And it seems that both this girl and Ye Lingling have some powerful Spirit Beast spiritual bodies within them; what are these things?"

"It looks like I need to observe more."

Thinking this, the Sea God continued to observe through the trials of the holy pillar.

Bo Sixi, on her way back, felt the unusual movement behind her and could not help but turn her head to look.

If this Top Eight Trials had appeared before the Sea God Nine Trials, she would have been pleasantly surprised.

But now, her expression did not change much.

"Miss, may I ask for your full name?" Sea Horse Douluo bowed slightly, saluting Zhu Zhuqing.

Facing the change in Sea Horse Douluo's attitude, everyone could not help but be stunned for a moment.

"This junior is Zhu Zhuqing." Although Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold, she answered very politely.

Just like the color of the Soul Ring.

Next, Yu Feng and the three Shi brothers accepted the assessment one after another.

The light shone, and the blue light rose directly to turn into red light.

Like Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan also obtained the Top Eight Trials.

The light shone, and the blue light rose directly to turn into black light, not continuing to turn red.

The assessment continued, and Dugu Yan stepped forward.

"Yan Yan, continue."

Oscar followed closely behind; he still had a black pillar of light, but his assessment was not the Black Level Four Trials, but the Black Level Five Trials.

The Black Level Trials are between the four and six trials; the four trials belong to the lowest of the Black Level Trials, but being able to accept the Black Level Trials is enough to prove that they have the potential to become a Title Douluo.

Sea Horse Douluo nodded, but everyone was still confused about the assessment.

White Level Trials, Yellow Level Trials, Purple Level Trials, Black Level Trials, and the red Top Level Trials.

"It's one trial lower than the original work; it seems it's because of the Immortal Herb." Shi Quan thought to himself while looking at Oscar.

Sea Horse Douluo nodded and immediately began to explain to everyone.

It seemed that there were too many surprises, leaving Sea Horse Douluo not knowing how to react; he was completely dazed.

With the successive appearances of the Sea God Nine Trials and the Top Eight Trials, Sea Horse's attitude toward everyone changed significantly; he explained the assessment to them in great detail, and everyone nodded in sudden realization.

The assessment for the three of them was only the Black Level Trials, and only four trials.

Dugu Yan had the same Shiji soul bone as Ye Lingling, so the Top Eight Trials were within expectations.

Yu Feng could not help but speak, "Senior, forget about the Sea God Nine Trials just now, what is the Top Eight Trials? Are there many types of assessments?"

Next was Ning Rongrong; like Oscar, she also had the Black Level Five Trials.

"It seems that Ning Rongrong's Top Seven Trials in the original work definitely had some padding." Shi Quan's mouth twitched; Ning Rongrong's martial soul was the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda just like in the original work, and the only difference was the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb.

In the same situation, Oscar dropped one level, while she dropped two levels.

Another possibility is that Ning Rongrong's seven trials in the original work were actually specifically chosen for her so that the position of Great Protector would have a successor.

While thinking, Ma Hongjun's assessment pillar lit up: blue, white, yellow, purple. Surprisingly, Ma Hongjun's pillar stopped at purple, not even turning black.

Purple Level Three Trials.

Shi Quan naturally understood Ma Hongjun's situation; after Yu Xiaogang overdrawn his potential, his body was trapped for more than four years due to the Evil Fire backlash. Even though Shi Quan helped him solve the flaws in his martial soul, under these various factors, his potential had been consumed too much. Now, being able to reach three trials was mostly because the quality of his martial soul was there.

Ma Hongjun looked incredulous, "How can it only be Purple Level Three Trials? Senior, is there something wrong? Can I have the Black Level Trials?"

Sea Horse Douluo shook his head, looked at Ma Hongjun, and said indifferently: "The Sea God's Light only grants one opportunity."

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun looked at everyone, who all had at least a black assessment, and his eyes were full of disappointment and unwillingness.

"Although the assessment cannot be changed, as long as you work hard, there is a chance to break the assessment level limit and improve the assessment level." Shi Quan said slowly.

In the original work, Ma Hongjun's lover Bai Chenxiang changed from the Yellow Level Trials to the Purple Level Trials through her own efforts and persistence.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, and a touch of determination appeared on his chubby cheeks. He had to catch up with everyone's pace, not only for himself but also for his teacher.

Oscar stepped forward and patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder to comfort him.

Shi Quan's parents, Shi Jian and Li Meili, also stepped forward one after another to accept the assessment.

With the support of Shi Quan's various treasures, both of them received the Black Level Four Trials.

Although the two were a bit older, they had consumed the special pills made by Shi Quan and practiced the cultivation techniques Shi Quan had specially selected for them. Coupled with their special Soul Ring configuration, the age gap had been made up for.

"Next." Sea Horse Douluo's gaze fell on Shi Quan and Gu Yuena.

Shi Quan shook his head and smiled: "We don't need an assessment, so there's no need to trouble you, Senior."

Sea Horse Douluo frowned, looked at Ye Lingling, then looked at Shi Quan and said: "Under normal circumstances, those who have not accepted the Sea God Assessment are not allowed to stay on Sea God Island. However, your situation is special. Tomorrow, I will report this matter to the Great Protector. If the Great Protector agrees, you can stay on Sea God Island; otherwise, you must leave the island."

"No problem." Shi Quan nodded.

Sea Horse Douluo did not say anything more. After looking around at everyone, his voice sounded again, "Distinguished guests, if there is nothing else, you may follow me to Sea Horse City."

As he spoke, a rich blue light lit up from Sea Horse Douluo's hand. With a slight wave, a strange scene appeared: the seawater on one side of the Sea within the Sea surged up and condensed in the air. In just a moment, it had turned into a bridge. It did not lead to the place where they came from, but to the deeper forest of Sea God Island.

"Sorry to trouble you, Senior." Seeing a powerhouse at the Title Douluo level treat them with such respect, everyone felt somewhat uncomfortable and returned the salute together.

"It is my duty." Sea Horse Douluo was also polite.

Stepping onto the shore, ten Yellow-robed Sea Soul Masters immediately greeted them and stood respectfully on both sides, following everyone as they moved forward.

At his strong request, Ye Lingling and Shi Quan walked at the front.

Everyone followed Sea Horse Douluo all the way to Sea Horse City. Along the way, with Sea Horse Douluo's introduction, everyone had a more comprehensive understanding of Sea God Island.

Of course, they also asked many questions, especially about the island-protecting Divine Beast that Shi Quan had mentioned before.

Only then did everyone know that the island-protecting Divine Beast, the Demonic Soul Great White Shark, was actually the former mount of the Sea God...
