"How did you manage this?"
Oya asked in disbelief.
"The Saint Pillar tests the number of participants entering the Sea Within the Sea, multiplying the challenge accordingly. Joint participation shouldn't have worked!"
Tang Lan stepped forward.
"I, humbly, created a method of unification, called the True Martial Seven-Segment Formation."
"Seven in one, capable of unleashing sixty-four times the combat power."
"Your Sea Within the Sea can only multiply sevenfold, so naturally it was unstoppable."
Sixty-four times the combat power?Oya's eyes widened, clearly unaccustomed to seeing such power.
Sixty-four times!
Even seven seven-ring Soul Saints could become Seal Fighting Douluo-level, right?These kids were no older than thirteen at most.
Such prodigious talent…Oya squinted, scanning the group, as if deep in thought.
Tang Lan anticipated his thoughts.
He proactively explained, "I founded the Tang Sect under the Tian Dou Empire. These are my core disciples."
"They have no affiliation with the Martial Soul Hall."
Oya's expression softened slightly and he nodded.
He turned to face the Seahorse Saint Pillar, his face full of reverence.
Hands raised to chest level, palms half a foot apart, faint blue light appeared between them.
Tang Lan recognized it immediately: the aura of the Sea God's consciousness.
Sea God's divine power.
As the blue light filled the palms of the Seahorse Douluo, it suddenly burst forth.
The entire Seahorse Saint Pillar platform was bathed in a serene blue glow.
Then,
A flash of light traveled along the patterns of the Saint Pillar, ascending to the top in the blink of an eye.
A blue column of light descended from the sky, enveloping Dai Mubai.
Bathed in the column, Dai Mubai looked somewhat dazed.
He didn't feel much at first.
The color of the column began to change: from blue to white, then to yellow, seamlessly into purple, and quickly deepening to black.
The speed was incredible.
Oya only showed his astonishment when the black light appeared.
The color represented the level of the exam.
Innate talent determined the exam's grade.
In the blink of an eye, Dai Mubai's light turned black—and kept deepening, clearly entering top-level exam territory.
Top-level exams represented near-certain success, the path to becoming the next High Priest!
It also meant…Oya couldn't help but glance at Tang Lan, a trace of sorrow in his eyes.
Could the day finally have come?Fortunately…
The black light reached two-thirds up the Seahorse Saint Pillar, then abruptly stopped.
Six streaks of black light shot out, forming six square light screens in front of Dai Mubai.
Each screen flickered with special golden characters.
On the first screen, the characters shone brightly; the other five were dimmer.
The screens condensed into a black hexagram, imprinted on Dai Mubai's forehead.
Dai Mubai seemed to understand, sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Tang Lan nodded knowingly.
Indeed, it was the Black-Level Six Exam.
Even the highest red-level top exam, for High Priest candidates, was an "internal appointment" and didn't matter if talent was insufficient.
The candidate must "fit" Sea God Island, or Black-Level Six would be the limit.
Oya relaxed subtly, then forced a wry smile.
"Black-Level Six?"
"Two more exams than when I took it."
"Sea God, is this person a criminal?"
This shocked everyone except Tang Lan!Criminal?
Why would they say that?But seeing Tang Lan remain calm, they also relaxed.
—If the sect leader doesn't react, it must be fine!
Such trust!Oya, seeing Tang Lan's nonchalance, tried to explain:
"The Sea God's exam has five levels: White, Yellow, Purple, Black, Red. The higher the level, the harder the test, and the greater the authority upon passing."
"Black-level exams have four to six components."
"This child has Black-Level Six. In the past century, it appeared thirty-one times, seven passed, twenty-four died."
"The seven who passed now guard the Seven Saint Pillars of Sea God Island."
"Among us seven, only the strongest Sea Dragon Douluo experienced Black-Level Six, his soul force now exceeding 95 levels."
Interestingly, Oya said "twenty-four deaths," not "failures."
So, Black-Level exams: fail, and you die?Zhu Zhuqing and the others remained relaxed.
They were aiming to become gods.
Merely Black-Level Six to reach 95 levels? Not a problem.
Oya hadn't expected their lack of realization, so he added:
"Sea God Island members take one exam every ten years."
"For land Douluo like you, one exam per year is required!"
"If you delay or evade, the Sea God seal on your forehead will explode, erasing the candidate!"
"At 46-level strength, passing Black-Level Six is impossible. Certain death."
"Seeing you are not from Martial Soul Hall, I can offer a chance to forfeit."
"Otherwise, attempting Black-Level exams again means dying with him."
Despite Oya's warnings, none showed fear.
Food-type Oscar even stepped forward.
"We understand. Thank you for your warning, Your Excellency."
"May we begin the exam now?"
Oya was stunned.
After all this explanation, they still wanted to die?
He looked at Tang Lan.
"As their sect leader, will you say something?"
"Oh? Ah," Tang Lan nodded. "Do your best. Those not starting Black-Level exams, go join the Second Team."
Oya glared!
Was that what he wanted to hear?
Seeing them so oblivious, Oya snorted, the light column enveloping Oscar.
Four-level jumps straight to Black-Level, then rising two-thirds of the pillar.
Black-Level Six!Oya's eyelid twitched.
He was about to speak again when Tang San stepped forward.
—He trusted his brother above all else.
Oya said nothing more and continued the exam.
Also Black-Level Six.
Tang Lan cast Tang San an extra glance.
Although a twin martial soul, slightly lower level, he was still far ahead compared to ordinary talents outside.
When it was Xiao Wu's turn, Tang Lan watched.
What would she receive this time?
The light jumped straight to gold, merging into Xiao Wu's forehead.
"Gold light? Top-level First Exam? Isn't top-level supposed to be red?" Oya frowned.
Normally, top-level exams were for High Priest candidates.
How was this gold?
Fortunately, as the examiner, he could view the candidate's exam.
