Chapter 235: The Strange Trial
As Feng Xiaotian received the Black-Level Six Trial, the others began to take their Sea God Island trials under the confirmation of the Seahorse Douluo.
Oscar was the second to take the trial. The blue light gradually turned black, eventually transforming into six black rays surrounding Oscar. Oscar also received the Black-Level Six Trial.
At this point, the Seahorse Douluo was even more surprised. If Feng Xiaotian, a battle soul master, had a chance of passing, then Oscar, a food-type soul master, receiving the Black-Level Six Trial would be even harder to pass.
Next, the elder brother Yang Wei and Qin Shuang took their trials, but unfortunately, both only received the Black-Level Four Trial.
Yang Xiong was also surprised. Logically speaking, with the use of celestial herbs, their potential shouldn't be inferior to that of other geniuses, but their innate soul power was still somewhat lacking, and their understanding and other aspects were slightly insufficient. These were things that celestial herbs couldn't completely compensate for.
Next up was Huo Wu, and surprisingly, Huo Wu received the Black-Level Six Trial. It seemed that even though her fire attribute did not align well with Sea God Island, the Sea God still recognized Huo Wu's potential.
The Seahorse Douluo's face darkened. To have five people receiving the Black-Level Trial, with three of them getting the Black-Level Six Trial, the difficulty of the trials could be said to be hellish.
At this moment, the Seahorse Douluo felt very helpless. These people had such outstanding talent, yet as land-based soul masters, they were coming to take the Sea God trial, which greatly increased the difficulty. It almost seemed like they were looking for death.
The sixth to take the trial was Ning Rongrong. When the blue light enveloped her, it quickly turned from blue to black, and even after turning black, it did not stop.
Ning Rongrong murmured to herself, "Over six levels, over six levels, I must surpass six levels..."
The Seahorse Douluo was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to be happy or to laugh at the ignorance of these individuals.
As the black light deepened, it eventually turned into a blood-red color, shooting up into the sky. The entire Sea God Island's sacred pillars seemed to respond.
Finally, seven red rays appeared in front of Ning Rongrong, forming a blood-red seven-pointed star that merged into her forehead.
The Seahorse Douluo swallowed hard. He had never seen a Red-Level Trial before, and now this little girl had such potential.
In fact, over the past century, there had only been one Red-Level Trial on Sea God Island. That person could be considered the true master of Sea God Island, holding the highest position on the island.
Ning Rongrong was overjoyed. The Red-Level Trial seemed to confirm that her potential was stronger than the others. She even playfully made a face at Yang Xiong.
The Seahorse Douluo quickly spoke, "Miss, may I ask your name?"
The Seahorse Douluo, who was a Title Douluo, now appeared extremely respectful, which was quite surprising.
Ning Rongrong also seemed a bit surprised. "Senior, my name is Ning Rongrong, and I come from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
"Senior, is there a problem with my trial? What is the difference between the Red-Level Trial and the Black-Level Trial?"
The Seahorse Douluo became even more respectful. "Miss Rongrong, in the past century, there has only been one Red-Level Trial, and there has never been a record of failing. The last soul master who passed the Red-Level Trial is our Grand Priest."
"Each time a Red-Level Trial appears, it usually indicates that a top-tier expert will emerge from Sea God Island. If Miss Rongrong can pass the Red-Level Trial, she will become the successor to the Grand Priest and the future leader of Sea God Island."
After hearing the Seahorse Douluo's explanation, everyone finally understood the true significance of the Red-Level Trial. In that case, Ning Rongrong's future on Sea God Island was indeed promising.
Next up was Shui Bing'er. Surprisingly, the blue light in front of her also started to turn black, eventually turning into a blood-red color.
However, even though the blood-red light grew deeper, it could not break through a certain limit, and instead, seven red rays appeared in front of Shui Bing'er, forming a blood-red seven-pointed star that merged into her forehead.
The Seahorse Douluo was once again shocked. He had never seen a Red-Level Trial before, and now, two Red-Level Trials had appeared, both of which were Red-Level Seven Trials.
Shui Bing'er showed a trace of confusion. "Seahorse Douluo, isn't the Red-Level Seven Trial the successor to the Grand Priest of Sea God Island? Can two successors to the Grand Priest appear at the same time?"
The Seahorse Douluo shook his head. "Not two, but three. Recently, someone else received the Red-Level Seven Trial. I don't know why so many successors to the Grand Priest are appearing."
...
At this moment, Yang Xiong was also very surprised. According to the Seahorse Douluo, the other person who received the Red-Level Seven Trial should be Tang San.
To think that Tang San, despite lacking many opportunities, was still able to receive the Red-Level Seven Trial. It seemed that his twin martial souls truly made him stand out.
Finally, it was Yang Xiong's turn.
With the Seahorse Douluo's operation, the Seahorse Sacred Pillar emitted blue light that quickly enveloped Yang Xiong, rapidly transforming.
The blue light soon turned to black, and the black deepened, becoming blood-red.
However, the blood-red light seemed completely unaffected. Even though it was rapidly transforming, it appeared to be undergoing some kind of higher-level change.
Yang Xiong felt that the blood-red light seemed vaguely related to his Sea of the Sea Shield. As the blood-red light deepened, it seemed like it was about to break through a certain limit.
But at that moment, Yang Xiong's body seemed to emanate some strange force, as if a blood-colored aura was subtly counteracting the red light.
At this point, the red light seemed to have been triggered, becoming somewhat uncontrollable and unable to complete the transformation, eventually seeming to lose strength.
After an unknown amount of time, the red light finally stabilized into eight rays, forming a blood-red eight-pointed star that merged into Yang Xiong's forehead.
The Seahorse Douluo was stunned. He never imagined a Red-Level Trial would appear again. This time, Yang Xiong performed better than the others who received the Red-Level Seven Trials. As the person presiding over the trials, the Seahorse Douluo clearly felt the final transformation of the light from Yang Xiong's body. But unexpectedly, during the final transformation, it was interrupted.
The Seahorse Douluo had never seen such a phenomenon before. He had never seen a Red-Level Eight Trial. It was said that only the Grand Priest, Sea God Douluo Poseidon, had the Red-Level Eight Trial. Poseidon was also regarded as the closest person to a god.
Even Yang Xiong felt confused. Normally, a Red-Level Seven Trial indicated the emergence of the Grand Priest of Sea God Island. How was it that he encountered a Red-Level Eight Trial?
Especially since Yang Xiong clearly felt that the Red-Level Eight Trial should have transformed into the Sea God Nine Trial at the last moment, yet it was interrupted.
Yang Xiong now saw the content of the first trial within the eight rays, but the trial seemed strange, completely different from a normal trial.
In the Divine Realm, in a certain massive blue palace.
In the center of the palace, there was a huge throne where a tall figure sat, exuding immense authority.
At this moment, in front of him was a huge screen displaying the progress of the trials of Sea God Island's participants.
This figure was none other than Sea God, one of the most powerful first-tier gods in the Divine Realm.
Originally, Sea God had sensed a strange situation, where many talents had emerged on Sea God Island in the lower realm, Douluo Star.
Among them, several exceptionally talented individuals had emerged, and Sea God felt these talents were rare and valuable, granting them Red-Level Seven Trials. They might one day become his followers.
During this process, Sea God sensed that his inheritance artifact, the Sea God's Heart, had returned to Sea God Island, which made him somewhat excited.
Normally, Sea God had placed the Sea God's Heart on the continent to select his future heir, preparing for his legacy.
Now, someone had brought the Sea God's Heart back to Sea God Island, and this person had exceptional talent, with physical strength far beyond ordinary people.
Though this person's martial soul was slightly incompatible with Sea God's attributes, their martial soul compatibility was extremely high. With some training, they could undoubtedly inherit Sea God's position.
But just as Sea God was about to grant Yang Xiong the Sea God inheritance, at the last moment, a terrifying and strange aura emanated from Yang Xiong's body, interrupting the inheritance.
This aura felt strangely familiar to Sea God, who realized that this person had been marked by the God of Slaughter. It seemed that there was a trace of the God of Slaughter's divine power within him.
The God of Slaughter was one of the five great gods of the Divine Realm, a supreme being and one of the three law enforcers in the divine realm. His status was extraordinarily high.
It seemed that the God of Slaughter had taken an interest in this person, and although no divine trial had been set, this person's aura matched that of the God of Slaughter. There was even a subtle connection.
If the God of Slaughter passed down his divine position, it would create the greatest upheaval in the Divine Realm in thousands of years, possibly even changing the future structure of the Divine Realm.
Moreover, the God of Slaughter was Sea God's direct superior, which meant that this person could potentially become Sea God's superior in the future.
"This is interesting. I never expected that the God of Slaughter, who is usually so serious, would secretly create an heir. It seems that the situation on Douluo Star is really about to undergo a major change. This could be my opportunity."
At that moment, a blood-red figure appeared in the Sea God Palace.
Sea God quickly stood up. "Lord God of Slaughter, what brings you to my humble Sea God Palace today?"
The God of Slaughter responded without emotion, "Sea God, matters of the lower realm are serious. Do not make rash assumptions, and do not change things easily, or you will not be able to bear the consequences."
Sea God immediately responded, "Thank you for the guidance, Lord God of Slaughter. But this person has already arrived at Sea God Island. How should I proceed with their trial?"
The God of Slaughter spoke, "This person is still just a seed. To become a towering tree, they must endure hardships far beyond ordinary people. I hope they won't disappoint me."
