Chapter 184: The Sea God Nine Trials, Tang San's Ecstasy
"Look! Little Three! It's the island!! We've finally seen the island!" Dai Mubai exclaimed excitedly.
"That must be Sea God Island! Sea God Island, finally, I've finally arrived!" At this moment, Tang San's heart was also filled with excitement because this was his only chance to grow stronger and seek revenge on Ye Wen.
"Let's go! On to the island!!"
"Alright!"
Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong were all incredibly excited because they all knew that there was a great opportunity waiting for them here.
After a year and two months of long and arduous travel, Tang San and his five-man team finally arrived at Sea God Island, setting foot on the long-awaited island they had been dreaming of.
Under the guidance of the island's soul masters, the five reached the Seahorse Sacred Pillar and completed the preliminary tests required before accepting the Sea God's trials, standing at the base of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
The five stood in front of the Seahorse Douluo, one of the seven Sacred Pillar Guardians of Sea God Island, ready to undergo the Sea God's trial.
However, the level of the trial they would face was still unknown, but everyone was eager to find out.
Seahorse Douluo spoke, "Everyone, the Sea God's trial will now begin."
Oscar crossed his arms and asked, "Who's going first?"
"I'll go first!" Dai Mubai stepped forward confidently and addressed Seahorse Douluo. "Please begin the Sea God's trial for me."
"Alright, follow me."
Seahorse Douluo responded indifferently and led Dai Mubai to stand directly in front of the Sacred Pillar.
Then, he gathered his power and concentrated it on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar. The next moment, the pillar began to glow with blue light, which shot into the sky, crashing against the black clouds above.
Soon, within the dark clouds, lightning flashed in white, yellow, purple, black, and red colors.
The color of the light that fell would determine the level of the trial.
The Sea God's trials not only tested the Sea God's inheritors but also allowed any soul master to undergo varying levels of trials and rewards.
The trials given by the Sea God were graded according to the candidate's potential, ranging from low to high: White level for the first trial, Yellow level for the first trial, Purple level for the first to third trials, Black level for the fourth to sixth trials, and Red level for the highest trial.
Passing the White, Yellow, or Purple level trials would grant the person the title of guardian of Sea God Island. The Black level trials corresponded to the strength and status of the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians.
As for the Red level, it represented the heir to the Great Priest of Sea God Island.
These were the basic categories, but above the Red level, there was another trial—the Sea God Nine Trials, corresponding to the Sea God's inheritor, which was a divine-level trial.
At this moment, Dai Mubai's trial level light fell, and it was black.
Boom! Boom!
The black light surrounded Dai Mubai's body, and a black mark appeared between his eyebrows. A large card materialized in the sky, detailing the level of his trial.
"Black level, fourth trial!" Seahorse Douluo was slightly surprised. This trial level was already on par with his own, meaning Dai Mubai had the qualification and status to become one of the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians of Sea God Island.
"Very good. In the past hundred years, only thirty-one people have undergone the Black level trial. Though it's the lowest of the Black level trials, anyone who receives a Black level trial is undoubtedly outstanding. If you can complete all the trials, reaching the Title Douluo realm in the future will be no problem."
"Title Douluo!" Dai Mubai could hardly contain his smile, his heart filled with joy. Becoming a Title Douluo was already an incredible feat. (In the original work, Dai Mubai was a Black level six trial.)
"Next!"
"I'll go! I'll go! I'll go!" Ma Hongjun couldn't wait any longer and rushed out immediately after Dai Mubai.
The Seahorse Sacred Pillar glowed with blue light again, and a beam of light fell.
But this time, the light wasn't black; it was purple.
"Well, not bad. Your trial level is Purple level, third trial," Seahorse Douluo nodded calmly.
Ma Hongjun, however, wasn't satisfied. He rubbed his head in frustration and complained, "Damn it! Why do I only get the Purple level trial?!"
(In the original work, Ma Hongjun was a Black level six trial, but because he didn't absorb the herb and didn't evolve his martial soul, his martial soul remained weaker, so he had the Purple level trial here.)
"Rongrong, I'll go first," Oscar stepped forward.
Finally, Oscar, like Dai Mubai, received a Black level light for the fourth trial. (In the original work, Oscar also had the Black level six trial, but since he didn't absorb the herb, his trial level was reduced by two.)
"Then I'll go next, Tang San," Ning Rongrong asked for Tang San's permission.
"Yeah, go ahead, Rongrong," Tang San nodded. He was more eager than anyone else for his own trial level.
For him, only by completing the Sea God Nine Trials and inheriting the Sea God's powers could he have the strength to take revenge.
Soon, Ning Rongrong received her trial level as well, which, like Oscar and Dai Mubai, was Black level, fourth trial. (In the original work, Ning Rongrong had the Red level seventh trial, but without absorbing the herb and evolving her martial soul, her trial level was reduced to Black level four.)
"Another Black level trial! Three Black level trial candidates have appeared all at once!" Seahorse Douluo was stunned.
"Now, finally, it's my turn." Tang San calmed his excitement and slowly walked toward the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
At this moment, a golden divine light, surpassing even red, fell from the sky, bringing with it a terrifying force.
Everyone was stunned, gazing at this moment in shock.
A golden trident mark appeared between Tang San's brows.
Seahorse Douluo couldn't understand the level of this trial, as it had never appeared before. But just then, the strongest being on Sea God Island, Poseidon, appeared.
After Poseidon's explanation, everyone finally understood that Tang San had received the divine-level trial—Sea God Nine Trials!!
This was the trial for the Sea God's inheritor!
"The Sea God Nine Trials! I've truly received the inheritance trial of the Sea God's divine position! I really did it!!" Tang San was overjoyed, clenching his fists tightly, his heart filled with ecstatic excitement, laughing loudly, "Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"The Sea God Nine Trials! I'm the Sea God's inheritor, I have the chance to become a god!!!"
"Fantastic! Amazing!!"
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King Ye Wen! You're done for!!!"
"I, Tang San, swear again, one day, I will personally slay you! Hahaha, no matter how close you are to a million years of cultivation, when I become a god, it will be your death day!"
