—------------------—
Sea Horse Douluo slowly raised his hands and moved them together to his chest.
The next moment, a faint blue light began to converge in the center between his palms, becoming brighter and brighter with time, until the light transformed into a brilliant azure, blooming suddenly.
The entire Sea Horse Sacred Pillar Platform was enveloped in a clear blue light.
Immediately after, the light at the bottom of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar flashed, and a blue light spread upwards along the patterns on the Sacred Pillar.
In the blink of an eye, it climbed to the top.
Sea Horse Douluo turned around, faced Ye Lingling, and pointed his right hand towards Ye Lingling's body.
A blue beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Ye Lingling's body.
The blue light beam rapidly changed, with the five colors of blue, white, yellow, purple, and black all flashing once, gradually transitioning and climbing to the top in a blink of an eye, then transforming into a red light that shot straight into the sky.
"Boom!" The Sea Middle Sea boiled in response, stirring up huge waves, and the entire sky trembled.
Immediately, to the astonished gazes of all the residents of Sea God Island, six more red lights shot up into the sky.
The next second, the bloody color receded, and golden light emerged at their intersection.
A golden light burst forth from it, falling directly downwards, enveloping Ye Lingling, and golden light rapidly converged at her glabella.
God Realm, Sea God Hall.
"This little girl has finally begun my trial!" Sea God excitedly stood up, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Douluo Continent.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Lingling, only to see the golden light converge, quickly leaving a golden trident-shaped mark on Ye Lingling's glabella.
Sea Horse Douluo looked at the mark on Ye Lingling's glabella in a daze, shook his head vigorously, and then carefully re-examined the trident imprint sparkling with brilliant golden light.
That's right, this wasn't a dream.
Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes, subconsciously raised her hand to touch her smooth forehead, looked at Sea Horse Douluo, and then at Shi Quan.
"Shi Quan, did I succeed?"
"Seagod Nine Trials, you succeeded," Shi Quan nodded and said.
"It seems you know a great deal about Sea God Island?" A melodious voice approached from afar, and in the distance, a red speck of light slowly enlarged.
Everyone just felt the space seem to twist slightly, and the next moment, an additional person was already in front of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
It was none other than Bo Saixi, the High Priest of Sea God Island.
"Greetings, High Priest," Sea Horse Douluo bowed slightly, saluting Bo Saixi, "Your subordinate failed to properly complete Sea God's guidance; please punish your subordinate, High Priest."
"This is not your fault.
I, too, am seeing such a situation for the first time." Bo Saixi's gaze fell on Shi Quan, "What is your relationship with Qian Daoliu?"
Even the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo were unaware of the existence of the Seagod Nine Trials, let alone an outsider.
Only two people could possibly know about this: Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu.
Tang Chen had gone to seek the position of god, so it was unlikely he would send someone to Sea God Island.
Only Qian Daoliu had this possibility.
"This Junior has no relation to Senior Qian Daoliu; I have only heard of Senior Qian Daoliu's name."
"Is that so?" Bo Saixi glanced indifferently at Shi Quan, asking no further questions, and her gaze fell on Ye Lingling, "Young one, I have waited for over a hundred years, and finally, in my twilight years, I have seen you.
Can you tell me your name?"
Ye Lingling politely replied, "This Junior is Ye Lingling."
Bo Saixi nodded, her expression turning solemn, "Ye Lingling, look at me."
Ye Lingling looked into Bo Saixi's eyes, her gaze clear and full of determination.
"Ye Lingling, he is right; the Legacy you have obtained is the Seagod Nine Trials.
As Sea God's designated successor, you must remember that from now on, on this Sea God Island, no one is qualified to receive your courtesies, including me."
"That's it?" Ye Lingling was stunned for a moment, having thought that obtaining a Legacy would be much more troublesome.
She just got it like that?
So smoothly?
"Ou Ya." Bo Saixi turned to Sea Horse Douluo, "Pass on my order: the guests who arrived on the island today are all distinguished guests of this island and must not be neglected.
As for those participating in the trials, aside from not being able to help them complete their trials, you need to satisfy their needs as much as possible.
As for lodging, they can stay in your Sea Horse City.
Additionally, tomorrow, all Seven Sacred Pillar Guardian will come to the Sea God Hall for a meeting."
"Yes," Sea Horse Douluo respectfully responded.
Bo Saixi once again shifted her gaze to Ye Lingling, "Ye Lingling, if you need anything in the future, you can always tell Ou Ya.
However, you must remember that for your Seagod Nine Trials, you need to complete at least one item each year."
"Otherwise, all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"I will definitely do so," Ye Lingling's eyes were filled with determination.
Shi Quan, however, smiled.
Even if Ye Lingling couldn't pass, Sea God would let her pass.
After all, in the original work, Sea God often intervened to help Tang San inherit the position of god.
The first time was when he was attacked after venturing into the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's territory on the Sea God Road, and Sea God appeared to drive it away.
The second time was during the battle against Bibi Dong in the Star Dou Great Forest, when he appeared to impart knowledge, teaching the Golden Thirteen tridents.
The third time, facing the pursuit of Qian Renxue, the God of Angels, he even appeared to force her to retreat.
With this series of foresight from the original work,
and the perfected Sea God's Heart now in Ye Lingling's hands, the Seagod Nine Trials were surely a piece of cake.
Bo Saixi nodded, then turned to Sea Horse Douluo, "Ou Ya, you may continue."
As she finished speaking, her body transformed into a red light and instantly vanished from everyone's sight.
Ye Lingling also happily retreated to Shi Quan's side.
Everyone continued to undergo the trials.
"Zhuqing, you go first," Shi Quan looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward.
Sea Horse Douluo also turned back to face the Sacred Pillar, activating a new round of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
Blue light once again shone in his palms, and blue light rose from the bottom of the Sacred Pillar.
However, this time it didn't instantly reach the top in a gradient flash, but rather ascended in segments, as if evaluating various data points: blue, white, yellow, purple, and black.
And then, it turned crimson.
"Boom!" A blood-red beam of light shot straight into the sky, and waves rippled through the Sea Middle Sea again.
Only, it wasn't as violent as before.
"Top Eight Tests?" Sea Horse Douluo swallowed, feeling his throat incredibly dry.
The Top Eight Tests had only appeared once until now, and that was for Bo Saixi.
As long as one obtained a Top assessment, they could be said to be the successor of the High Priest.
And the fact that Zhu Zhuqing before him received the same assessment quantity as Bo Saixi meant that Zhu Zhuqing possessed the potential to cultivate to the ninety-ninth level super Douluo, and her talent was in no way inferior to Bo Saixi's.
"Eight Tests?" Shi Quan was a bit surprised in his heart, after all, in the original work, Top assessments only appeared on Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, one having a Top Seven Tests and the other a Top One Test.
Eight Tests was a first.
However, Shi Quan quickly became relieved.
After all, Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Spirit quality, talent, and various abilities were all top-notch now, not to mention her top-tier spirit ring configuration and Spirit Bone…
