Chapter 268 Tang San's Seventh Test

On Poseidon Island, under the personal supervision of Poseidon, Tang San underwent the final test of the Red-level Seven Trials.

Facing the onslaught of the Demon Soul Great White Shark in the ocean, Tang San used every means at his disposal, including the Devouring Golden Silk, various hidden weapons, and even all sorts of soul skills.

But the ferocity of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks exceeded his expectations. Especially after being injured for the first time, as the blood flowed into the sea, all the Demon Soul Great White Sharks seemed to go mad, becoming extremely bloodthirsty, and desperately crashing into Tang San.

As time passed, more and more blood appeared in the sea, and even Little White became somewhat bloodthirsty.

Tang San had no idea how many injuries he had sustained, how many times he had been bitten by sharp teeth, or how many bones he had broken.

Tang San went completely mad, frantically swinging the Clear Sky Hammer, each strike aimed at the Demon Soul Great White Shark attacking him.

As Poseidon watched Tang San wield the Clear Sky Hammer, a hint of reluctance appeared on her usually calm face, as if she were seeing a figure from the past. Unfortunately, it was the time of the Divine Trial, and she couldn't interfere.

In the final, most crucial moment, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer finally reached its eighty-one strikes.

But Xiao Bai on the other side also attacked Tang San with all his might, turning into a black shadow, as if he wanted to tear Tang San to pieces.

At this final moment, Xiaobai and Tang San's final attacks collided, and it seemed that both sides had used all their strength.

However, if you look at the details, it seems that Xiaobai was interfered with at the crucial moment, and his final attack was slightly weakened.

The entire ocean seemed to have experienced a tremendous tremor, but it quickly returned to calm.

Tang San himself was covered in blood and looked extremely disheveled, but he still managed to walk out of the sea step by step.

As soon as they stepped out of the sea, Xiao Wu quickly grabbed Tang San, who immediately fainted, seemingly seriously injured.

Tang San's test was extremely dangerous, he was practically on the verge of death, but thankfully he passed it in the end.

When Tang San woke up again, his body had been bandaged, and he was sore all over, as if all his bones had been crushed and all the blood in his body had been drained.

However, Tang San was also surprised when he looked at the surrounding environment. The place seemed unusually ancient, with nothing special except for a stick stuck in the center.

A voice suddenly came from ahead.

"Tang San, this is the Sea God Temple. Congratulations on completing the seventh test of the Red Rank. It is because you passed the test that you are qualified to come to the Sea God Temple."

Tang San then realized that he had actually come to the Sea God Temple. You should know that the Sea God Temple is sacred and inviolable on the entire Sea God Island. No one except the Seven Divine Pillars can come up here.

Tang San gritted his teeth and forced himself to sit up despite the pain.

Poseidon continued, "Your wound has been bandaged by your friend, so it should be fine. As the successor of the High Priest of Poseidon Island, I still need to tell you about the specific situation of Poseidon Island, hoping it will be helpful to you in the future."

Next, Poseidon gave a general account of the Sea God's journey to godhood, including the cultivation experiences of some Soul Masters after becoming Title Douluo, emphasizing that the Grand Elder of Sea God Island must possess absolute strength.

After hearing Poseidon's words, Tang San's expression turned serious: "Senior, do gods really exist in this world? Can Soul Masters really cultivate to level 100?"

Poseidon laughed and said, "Of course, Soul Masters can cultivate to level 100, but the process is too dangerous. Even the Sea God took a full 1,001 years. The pain and loneliness involved are beyond anyone's imagination."

Tang San's face showed a hint of doubt: "But I have never heard of a Soul Master living to be 1,001 years old. At least there seems to be no such record in the history of Soul Masters."

Poseidon shook his head: "What you're looking at is just ordinary Soul Master records. The Angel God and the Sea God on your continent all went through countless trials and tribulations, gained the faith of everyone, and finally achieved godhood."

"After a Soul Master reaches the Title Douluo level, their lifespan will increase significantly with each level of Soul Power they gain. However, both perseverance and opportunity are indispensable in this process; otherwise, they will ultimately fail. You should know that after a Soul Master exceeds level 95, the time required to increase each level of Soul Power is extremely long, far exceeding your imagination."

Tang San fell silent upon hearing this. He possessed twin martial souls, and theoretically, once he reached the Title Douluo level, he could rapidly improve by absorbing spirit rings. This was the strongest aspect of twin martial souls.

Tang San seemed to have thought of something: "Senior, did you help me during the seventh test?"

Poseidon remained silent, which was clearly an admission of agreement.

Tang San asked doubtfully, "Senior, the Sea God's Trial was set up by the Sea God himself. Will this have any impact on you?" Poseidon smiled and said, "I am aware of the Sea God's will. He probably wants to cultivate a true powerhouse. Your talent and combat strength are both excellent. Even I am a little disappointed."

"Besides, I didn't make a direct move, otherwise the Sea God would have punished me."

Tang San quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I will definitely work hard to cultivate and become a true powerhouse as soon as possible."

But Tang San also showed a hint of doubt: "Senior, you're taking such good care of me, is there some other reason?"

Poseidon looked at Tang San and couldn't help but shake her head: "So alike, so very alike. You and your great-grandfather Tang Chen are so similar."

Tang San was startled: "Senior, do you know my great-grandfather? He has been missing for over fifty years."

Poseidon sighed: "Back then, your great-grandfather and Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, came to Seagod Island together. The three of us sparred on Seagod Island. Although I defeated your great-grandfather and Qian Daoliu, I had the advantage of being on the sea. If we were on land, I might not have been their match."

"Actually, your great-grandfather was the most talented among the three of us, and even I admire him immensely."

Tang San quickly said, "Senior, in terms of strength, you and my great-grandfather were both level 99 Limit Douluo."

Poseidon sighed: "Although the three of us have the same soul power level, Qian Daoliu and I improved our strength with the help of the divine test, while your great-grandfather cultivated it based on his own talent."

"Otherwise, in terms of cultivation, I am only a little over a hundred years old now. How could I possibly have cultivated to the Limit Douluo level? You should know that at the normal cultivation speed, it would take a full three hundred years to cultivate from level ninety-seven to level ninety-eight, and it would take a full six hundred years to cultivate from level ninety-eight to level ninety-nine."

“Only your great-grandfather cultivated to level 99 on his own. His cultivation speed was even faster than that of the Sea God. In terms of talent, he was the strongest among the three of us.”

Tang San seemed to have thought of something and quickly spoke up: "Senior, I now have news of my great-grandfather. Could you please rescue him?"

Poseidon's face showed a hint of doubt: "With Tang Chen's strength, who in this world could possibly trap him?"

Tang San's face showed a trace of pain: "Senior, I received news that my great-grandfather was lost in the City of Slaughter, but unfortunately my father was unable to rescue him."

Poseidon muttered to himself, "No wonder. It is said that the City of Slaughter is a forbidden zone for humans. Anyone who enters can never come out again. Only those who possess the God of Slaughter Domain can freely enter and leave the City of Slaughter. If I remember correctly, Yang Xiong has the God of Slaughter Domain."

Tang San nodded: "The information about my great-grandfather was provided by Yang Xiong. My father has confirmed it, but unfortunately, my great-grandfather was too powerful, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Poseidon sighed, "I can't help it either. You should know that I am the High Priest of Poseidon Island. Unless there are special circumstances, I cannot leave Poseidon Island. If we really want to rescue your great-grandfather, I'm afraid only a level 100 expert can do it."

Tang San's face showed a hint of disappointment: "Senior, a level 100 expert is too elusive. According to what you said, the Soul Master world hasn't seen one for tens of thousands of years. Even if I have great confidence in my talent, I dare not hope to become a god in the short term."

Poseidon's face showed a hint of hesitation, but he finally spoke up: "Little San, with your talent, it would be normal for you to pass the seventh level of the Red Rank, but there are always some special cases in this world. Perhaps there is a possibility of a level 100 expert."

Tang San looked puzzled: "Senior, you're not talking about Yang Xiong, are you? Although Yang Xiong is strong, he has only obtained the eighth level of the Red Rank. He is still far from being truly mature."

Poseidon shook his head: "That's not right. Yang Xiong and the other three are exceptionally strong and their talents are beyond our imagination. They are also incredibly resilient. When he took the assessment, he actually had a chance to obtain the top nine tests, but something happened at the last minute and the assessment did not become the real nine tests."

Tang San seemed to realize something: "Senior, is there perhaps something wrong with Yang Xiong?"

Poseidon said, "Yang Xiong should have the Heart of the Sea God in his body. I sensed it when the Heart of the Sea God returned to Sea God Island, which is why the Sea God was able to give him the highest test. Unfortunately, the test was interrupted at the last moment."

"However, the Sea God has already set a test for Yang Xiong. His eighth test is to find a true successor to the Sea God. If you possess the Heart of the Sea God, you may be able to pass the top-level ninth test."

Tang San was also taken aback. He hadn't expected Yang Xiong to be so cunning; he had probably underestimated Yang Xiong.

……

After some discussion, Tang San decided to recuperate on Seagod Island for a while before returning to the mainland.

Tang San's soul power has now reached level 87, and his soul rings have changed to two purple and six black, especially the last soul ring which has a hint of blood red.
