Oscar looked at this Title Douluo level sea Spirit Master’s burning gaze, saying:
“My spirit is Sausage, or to be precise, I’m a food system spirit emperor. As for why I could use that ability just now, I’m sure you can guess.”
Food system Spirit Master? Seahorse Douluo stared blankly a moment. Right now he felt a bit like the opponents who saw the Shrek Seven Devils participate back in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
The first to arrive at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, Dai Mubai, had actually already brought this Seahorse Douluo an enormous shock, but the next three were still equally alarming. What made him most shocked was the couple who just came here. One food system Spirit Master, one support system Spirit Master. They could actually pass the trial of the waves, steadily reaching the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
Especially crucial was that these Douluo Continent Spirit Masters were all so young, apparently just twenty years old. But these four in front of him were still all Spirit Emperors with ideal spirit ring configurations. Through these four, Seahorse Douluo already clearly recognized how the land spirit masters that came this time fitted together. In time, these youths’ future could only be described as limitless.
While Seahorse Douluo was thinking deeply on his side, on the shore an argument had risen.
“Xiangxiang, let me bring you.”
Ma Hongjun persuaded.
Bai Chenxiang stubbornly shook her head,
“No need, I can do it on my own. I can’t always cause all of you trouble.”
When Ma Hongjun wanted to speak again, Bai Chenxiang had still already thrown herself out without the slightest hesitation. Figure flashing, she spread nimble wings like a white shadow, flying straight for the sea within the sea.
Tang San signaled Ma Hongjun with his eyes, and Fatty hastily chased after. The Phoenix Spirit releasing, the third spirit ability Phoenix Ascension formed two giant wings of flame, dashing after Bai Chenxiang. If Bai Chenxiang met danger, he would also look after her from behind.
Their actions naturally drew Seahorse Douluo’s attention. As he saw Bai Chenxiang’s four spirit rings and Ma Hongjun’s five spirit rings, inwardly he couldn’t help sighing a bit. Finally some youngsters who weren’t at the Spirit Emperor level. Actually, even he didn’t understand why his mind, ordinarily calm as a dried out old well, would ripple like this over some kids.
However, Seahorse Douluo’s mind didn’t relax for long before his eyes again revealed astonishment.
Bai Chenxiang’s white silhouette bore through the waves like a wisp of smoke. Even if the waves were crowded close, they still rose and fell with the tide, and Bai Chenxiang seemed to see the eye of a needle that appeared along with the movement of the waves. Even in places that seemed devoid of any cracks, she could still easily find a few chinks to pass through. More than two hundred meter distance, in practically just a few eyeblinks, her white mist like silhouette already fell from the air, stably standing on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar platform. In terms of speed, even until now, Bai Chenxiang was number one.
Close behind Bai Chenxiang, Fatty moved forward even more directly. Without any dodging, he directly charged through the waves. Using both the two great spirit abilities Bathing Fire Phoenix and Phoenix Ascension, this time he had learned the lesson from last time at the Vast Sea Great Spirit Arena. When he knocked against the waves, he pulled in his wings as close as possible, using momentum to crash through. And once he appeared on the other side, the wings immediately unfolded, accelerating once again, charging at the next wave.
Large clouds of white steam rose in the air above the sea within the sea. Ma Hongjun used this direct, close to barbarian way to break through the obstruction of one wave after another, becoming the sixth to land on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar platform.
“If I’m not mistaken, you should be a pure speed type Spirit Master.”
Seahorse Douluo looked at Bai Chenxiang.
Bai CHenxiang nodded slowly.
Seahorse Douluo smiled,
“Interesting, really interesting.”
His gaze turned to Ma Hongjun who had just landed on the platform, equally unstained by half a drop of water,
“High temperature flame, Phoenix spirit. Jost from the spirit, on dry land, you should be a top quality Spirit Master. Unfortunately, your spirit power still lags behind a bit.”
Ma Hongjun blushed. Even though he had also reached the sixtieth ranked, compared to the others, he really was behind.
Just at this moment, Tang San on the shore brough Xiao Wu to be the last to move.
Seahorse Douluo at first didn’t notice, however, the sea within the sea before them was under his control, and every soon he discovered something wrong. Subconsciously he turned to look, and was immediately stupefied.
Tang San’s right hand tightly held Xiao Wu’s slender waist to soar in the air. Xiao Wu seemed to be without perception of anything in the outside world, her long scorpion braid hanging across her chest, she nestled against Tang San’s shoulder with a vacant gaze in her beautiful eyes.
Blue hair, blue eyes, graceful temperament, handsome appearance. Soaring in the air, Tang San and Xiao Wu didn’t cause any smoke and fire, just like a pair of immortal companions.
About to be hit by a charging wave, in Tang San’s left hand appeared a black hammer, one and a half meters long, large hammerhead. With just a light shake of his wrist, without taking any stance, the giant wave before them scattered with an explosion, and be brought Xiao Wu to fly forward through the air. He wasn’t particularly fast, but he seemed so graceful and natural, as if the giant waves reaching towards the sky before him was just a simple matter.
Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer was forged under the waterfall. No matter how large the waves, but they were still far from comparable to the several hundred meters tall waterfall, and his current spirit power was higher by far than at that time. Using the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone to fly, with the Clear Sky Hammer to open up the way, even though the waves surged, how could they stop his path forward?
Under the impact of the Clear Sky Hammer, rumbling sound spread rhythmically. Those giant waves seemed to open up a path to greet them, and in a flash, Tang San had already brought Xiao Wu as the last to land on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar platform.
If Oscar’s strength could be said to puzzle Seahorse Douluo, then Tang San before him was even more incomprehensible. From Tang San’s body, he clearly didn’t see a spirit ring, so much that he couldn’t even sense what level he had reached from the spirit power he released, but he still moved forward so unhurriedly. In fact, the giant waves Seahorse Douluo raised, to land Spirit Masters, were extremely difficult to pass without at least fiftieth rank cultivation. Bai Chenxiang’s special circumstances couldn’t be seen just anywhere.
Looking Tang San up and down, Seahorse Douluo’s gaze suddenly turned cold,
“According to the sequence just now is fine.”
While speaking, his hands formed seals, and everyone felt an energy quietly disperse. That boiling sea immediately calmed down, and the light screen emanating from the top of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar also quietly dissipated.
Seeing Seahorse Douluo’s eyes hold such a cold gaze, Tang San was somewhat puzzled. When he looked at the other Shrek Seven Devils, everyone also revealed vacant expressions.
Dai Mubai’s evil eyes suddenly radiated light, as if thinking of something, saying to Seahorse Douluo:
“Senior, there’s something I think I should first make clear. We’re not from Spirit Hall. You should also have seen that Rongrong’s spirit is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she comes from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Little San is from the Clear Sky School. Me and Zhuqing are from the Star Luo Imperial family. Xiangxiang is a disciple of the Clear Sky School’s subordinate Speed Clan. As for little Ao and Fatty, they’re free Spirit Masters.”
When he spoke of each person, he pointed to them.
Hearing Dai Mubai’
s words, Tang San was the first to come to a realization. As land Spirit Masters, and moreover all so young and this powerful, this Seahorse Douluo would very easily regard them as coming from Spirit Hall. And back then with Spirit Hall’s attack on Seagod Island, this Seahorse Douluo naturally wouldn’t have any good impression. Dai Mubai suddenly explaining everyone’s history was to negate Seahorse Douluo’s conjecture.
That wasn’t to say that Tang San’s ability to reflect wasn’t equal to Dai Mubai, but rather because Dai Mubai was the first to step onto the Seahorse Sacred Pillar platform, and clearly saw Seahorse Douluo’s gentle manner towards everyone. But as the last one to reach the platform, Tang San’s line of sight was previously cut off by the raging waves, and naturally didn’t see what happened here, and was only vaguely able to see what happened.
Sure enough, along with Dai Mubai’s explanation, Seahorse Douluo’s expression relaxed, and he casually asked,
“Since you’re from different backgrounds, from between the southern sky and the northern sea, how come you’re all gathered together?”
Tang San smiled:
“Because we went to school together. You might not have heard of it, but we graduated from Shrek Academy.”
Oscar added:
“We still once represented Shrek Academy to participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, and moreover took the ultimate victory.”
Seagod Douluo’s deep like the ocean gaze swept across everyone,
“That is to say, your purpose in coming to Seagod Island isn’t so simple as just joining the island.”
Everyone’s heart’s chilled, subconsciously their gazes gathered on Tang San. In a few simple sentences, even though they’d made clear they weren’t related to Spirit Hall, their purpose in coming had still caught Seahorse Douluo’s doubt.
Tang San calmly said:
“To learn through experience, that’s why we came. Senior, begin the lord Seagod’s trial for us. If we can pass it, it won’t be too late for you to investigate our goals.”
The unspoken meaning of his words was, if we can pass it, it won’t be too late to doubt our purposes. If we can’t pass it, we’d be directly banished from the island, and any goals would be impossible to achieve. Avoiding the important and focusing on the trivial in order to dispel Seahorse Douluo’s questions.
Seahorse Douluo slowly walked over to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar. Facing the sacred pillar, his eyes revealed a pious light,
“One person step forward.”
The hearts of the Shrek Seven Devils tightened. They knew that the true trial was about to begin, but this was also what they were looking forward to. This trip to the Seagod Island, wasn’t it in order to progress their strength under pressure?
No need to speak, the first to step forward was Dai Mubai, standing one step behind Seahorse Douluo.
Seahorse Douluo slowly raised his hands, his face filled with a pious expression. Both hands held in front of his chest, his palms facing each other half a chi apart, faint blue light slowly appearing between his hands. Along with the blue light gradually growing stronger, Tang San suddenly had a kind of familiar feeling.
When the blue light filled the palms of Seahorse Douluo, rays of light suddenly blossomed, making the whole Seahorse Sacred Pillar platform filled with a clear blue light. Immediately afterward, light flashed below the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, a line of blue light spreading upward along the pillar pattern. In practically the blink of an eye, it climbed to the peak.
Seahorse Douluo turned, facing Dai Mubai, right hand pointing to him.
A light blue beam of light fell from the sky, enveloping Dai Mubai. Bathed in that beam of light, Dai Mubai was a bit bewildered. Clearly he didn’t feel anything.
The color of the light began to change, from blue turning white. Immediately afterward, it again changed from white to yellow, and practically without pause again changed to purple. The purple gradually deepened, this time the transformation speed was a bit slow, but it still kept changing.
Seeing the light around Dai Mubai change, Seahorse Douluo seemed a bit shocked. Before long, that purple light had already completely turned black, almost completely hiding Dai Mubai within the beam. And on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar behind Seahorse Douluo, the lowest part of the pattern also became black, and the color slowly started to clamber upward.
Tang San and the others didn’t notice, but those yellow clothed sea Spirit Masters who previously brought them here saw the Seahorse Sacred Pillar change, and each of their faces displayed overwhelming shock. Especially that middle aged Spirit Master, who even showed a bit of pity. Sighing softly, he said to himself:
“Didn’t let them come take the trial, but unfortunately they wanted to. The lord Seagod’s trials for land Spirit Masters really are……”
The black lines of light directly clambered up to a third of the Seahorse Divine Pillar before stopping. But very soon, it once again kept spreading upward, this time climbing even faster, in a moment’s work, the black lines were already covering the whole Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
Immediately afterward, altogether six lines of black light shot out, simultaneously arriving in front of Dai Mubai, turning into six square light screens. On each light screen flickered some special golden characters. Among them, the light characters on the first screen were brilliant, while the other five were a lot duller.
The corner of Seahorse Douluo’s mouth rose slightly, affecting a wry smile:
“Black level six tests. Two more tests than me back then. Lord Seagod, don’t tell me these people are sinners?”
The six light screens vanished, turning into six specks of black light that simultaneously entered Dai Mubai’s forehead. On his forehead appeared a black hexagram, its color like ink.
Dai Mubai seemed to sense something, the blankness in his eyes replaced by hidden depths. Without a word, he quickly retreated a few steps, sitting cross legged and closing his eyes, his brows wrinkling, apparently thinking about something.
The Seahorse Sacred Pillar’s light gradually faded, everything returning to normal. But Seahorse Douluo looked at Dai Mubai with a somewhat complex gaze, from Tang San’s point of view, this Seahorse Douluo seemed to be looking at a dead person.
Ma Hongjun couldn’t help asking:
“Senior, what’s black level six tests? Can you explain it?”
Seahorse Douluo nodded slowly,
“The trials given by the lord Seagod are separated by level. At different levels, the difficulty will also be different. Just like the colors of spirit rings, from lowest to highest, they’re each white level trial, yellow level trial, purple level trial, black level trial and red peak trials. The lord Seagod will give different trials to different people. And the contents of the trial appeared in the light screen just now, visible to the examinee and examiner. I’m your examiner. Through different level trials, you will obtain corresponding authority on Seagod Island. The trials are not only according to the examinee’s strength, but at the same time also potential. This is the lord Seagod’s decree.”
“Among these, white trials and yellow trials will only have one trial. Passing it counts as succeeding. Starting at the purple trial, there will start appearing differentiations. Purple trials will have one to three tests. In other words, if the light shooting from the sacred pillar in front of you is one, then, you will experience one purple level trial. If there are three, then you will undergo three trials in order to pass. Naturally, the more trials there are, the greater the difficulty, and after passing the greater the authority. And finally at the black level trials, there will be at least four trials, at most six. That’s also the black level six tests I mentioned just now. Black level six tests, that can be said to be the most difficult of the black level trials. What I can tell you is that in the recent one hundred years, the black level trial has appeared altogether thirty one times, among those, seven passed, twenty four failed. I am one of those seven. The seven who passed are currently th
e Seagod Island’s seven sacred pillars’ protectors. And among the seven of us, only Seadragon Sacred Pillar’s guardian, Seadragon Douluo, passed the black level six tests. He is also the strongest among us, his spirit power has already broken through the ninety fifth rank.
Seahorse Douluo’s explanation was very detailed, but its purpose was only one, to tell these youngsters in front of him how difficult the black level six tests were. By passing it, you would have authority equal to the sacred pillars protectors. If you failed, there would only be one conclusion, death.
The Shrek Seven Devils looked at each other for a moment, already without words.
Seahorse Douluo added:
“By accepting the lord Seagod’s trial, then, it will begin immediately. The black level trial’s time limit for you land Spirit Masters is that you must pass one trial each year. After completing one, the next trial will begin. If you exceed the time limit, or try to run, then the Seagod seal that entered his forehead before will explode, erasing the examinee. The black level trials have never before had losers, only those who passed and the dead. Therefore, it’s also known as paradise and hell. I don’t know why the lord Seagod’s trials for you land Spirit Masters are so difficult either. You others still have time to regret. Otherwise, if there is another black level trial, you will also be like him. Seeing as you aren’t from spirit hall, I can honestly tell you that with his sixtieth ranked strength, there is basically no chance of him passing the black level six tests. He will definitely die.”
