Seahorse Douluo withdrew his martial soul and gently flicked his sleeve: "Come with me!"
The sea spirit masters who had originally come with Seahorse Douluo scattered at his signal, and the tense atmosphere vanished in an instant.
Seahorse Douluo was moving very fast, but Chen Luo and the others were able to keep up steadily.
Before long, Chen Luo and the others followed Seahorse Douluo to a huge pool of water that looked like a sea within a sea.
Above the pool is a triangular platform, upon which stands a strange stone pillar. The pillar is shaped like a sharp cone, with a huge seahorse carved at the top. The entire pillar is engraved with countless complex patterns and exudes a strange energy.
Chen Luo recognized it at a glance as the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
Seahorse Douluo easily leaped onto the platform.
Chen Luo and the others immediately followed, but the once calm pool suddenly became as turbulent as the sea, with waves crashing towards them.
Chen Luo immediately realized that this was a small test from Seahorse Douluo for the three of them, and such a small test was undoubtedly very easy for them.
Flander and Liu Erlong activated their martial souls and flew over directly. Chen Luo also finally summoned the Golden Luo Three Cannons and activated his fifth soul skill, Dragon Concealment. He flew over with ease from the head of the Golden Luo Three Cannons.
As for the waves created by Seahorse Douluo, they couldn't stop Chen Luo and his group in the slightest.
Golden Luo Sanpao is not yet a true five-clawed golden dragon, but it can still fly, albeit with the aid of Dragon Concealment. Chen Luo estimates that once he reaches the Soul Saint level, Golden Luo Sanpao will unlock its flight ability.
Chen Luo and the other two landed steadily on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar platform. Seahorse Douluo once again looked at Chen Luo with slight surprise.
Just now on the Bund, when Seahorse Douluo's gaze fell on Chen Luo, he showed a look of surprise. The reason was none other than the blood-red 100,000-year soul ring on Chen Luo's body.
At this moment, it is because of the Golden Luo Sanpao summoned by Chen Luo.
Even with his extensive experience, Seahorse Douluo had never seen such a unique release of his martial soul before.
The external manifestation of weapon spirits is extremely common, but the external manifestation of beast spirits is quite special.
Seahorse Douluo also possessed a certain level of professionalism. His surprise was fleeting, and he quickly regained his composure, getting to the point and calmly asking, "Who among you would like to test your trial level first?"
Chapter 235 The Seven Top-Tier Tests: The Official Start of Exploiting the System!
A gentle breeze carried a faint salty scent, along with the aroma of fresh earth.
The soil around the pool was very damp, and some footprints could be faintly seen on it, coming from all directions.
Flander glanced at the Seahorse Pillar, then stepped forward: "I'll go first."
Seahorse Douluo nodded gently: "Okay."
Seahorse Douluo looked at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar with utmost reverence, slowly raising his hands. A faint blue light slowly appeared in the center of his palms, then the blue light grew stronger and stronger, finally shining brightly, causing the entire Seahorse Sacred Pillar platform to be enveloped in a clear blue light.
Blue light began to gather beneath the Seahorse Pillar, and then it spread upwards along the patterns on the pillar, reaching the top in the blink of an eye.
Seahorse Douluo turned around to face Flander and pointed his right hand at Flander's body.
A blue beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Flander's entire body.
These scenes were basically consistent with the plot of the book in Chen Luo's memory, and then the color of the light pillar began to change.
It changes from blue to white, then to yellow, then to purple, and finally to completely black, at which point it stops.
Then five square light screens appeared, symbolizing the test results of Flanders' Black Level Five Tests.
Seahorse Douluo remained remarkably calm throughout, and then briefly summarized the assessment levels.
It is basically consistent with Chen Luo's memory.
The higher a candidate's talent and the greater their potential, the more difficult the assessment will be, and the richer the corresponding rewards will be.
The assessment levels, from lowest to highest, are white, yellow, purple, black, red, and gold. These correspond to the colors of the soul rings obtained by the soul masters, with white being the weakest and gold being the strongest.
Once the assessment begins, the examinee must complete it within the specified time, or they will explode and die.
It's normal for Flander to obtain the Black Level 5 Trial; he's already reached the Soul Douluo level at his age, which shows that his talent surpasses that of most Soul Masters.
Seahorse Douluo seemed to think so too. Unlike the plot in the book, he was not surprised by the appearance of the Black-level Fifth Trial, nor did he show any other emotions. He remained calm and composed, like a machine that only knew how to work, and said, "Next."
Liu Erlong stepped forward, and Seahorse Douluo immediately arranged the test. The test process was no different from that of Flander, except for the final result.
The pillar of light enveloping Liu Erlong was also black, but there were as many as six light screens around Liu Erlong.
"Black-level Sixth Trial!"
Seahorse Douluo's expression finally changed, but he quickly returned to normal and looked at Chen Luo: "It's your turn."
Chen Luo stepped forward to test, and the testing process was the same as that of Flander and Liu Erlong, except that a small incident occurred in the middle, and the final result was even more explosive.
After the beam of light that fell on Chen Luo turned white, it remained there for a considerable period of time. If the crucial light screen had not failed to appear, Seahorse Douluo would have determined that Chen Luo's assessment level was White Level One.
Fortunately, the white light eventually changed, and everything returned to normal. After that, the color of the light beam changed rapidly, turning black in the blink of an eye, and the black light did not stop there.
The black-dyed magic patterns that originally covered the Seahorse Pillar instantly changed color, turning into a bright crystal red. Then, a beam of light, like blood, pierced straight into the sky, causing a flash of blood-red light to appear in the clear blue sky.
Seven beams of light appeared in front of Chen Luo, eventually disappearing into his forehead and transforming into a strange red seven-pointed star.
Top-tier seven tests!
This time, Seahorse Douluo could no longer remain calm.
The top-tier Seven Trials signify the emergence of a powerful Soul Master who will inherit the position of revered master, and no matter how difficult the trial is, they will definitely pass it.
The way Seahorse Douluo looked at Chen Luo had changed; it was no longer just surprise and admiration, but also a hint of respect.
Even though Chen Luo possesses a 100,000-year soul ring, he is still just a Soul Emperor. The fact that Seahorse Douluo can show him respect is undoubtedly due to a change in Chen Luo's status.
After briefly inquiring about Chen Luo and his group, Seahorse Douluo began to discuss the top-level assessment.
Upon learning of the power and uniqueness of the top-tier Seven Trials, both Flander and Liu Erlong were incredibly surprised, but even more so, delighted.
Chen Luo himself was quite surprised. He didn't expect to be able to obtain the top-level seventh test. His original expectation was that he would be quite good if he could get a black-level sixth test like Liu Erlong.
During the test, Chen Luo saw that the beam of light remained white, and even thought that he might be a white-level first test candidate, since Yu Xiaogang's original talent could only be described as utterly worthless.
It now seems that talent can change with resources, or more accurately, with external cheats.
Chen Luo's current cultivation talent is undoubtedly top-notch. He possesses a near-divine martial soul and a divine cultivation technique. His body has undergone tremendous changes and improvements due to various opportunities. It's just that this body is a little older. Otherwise, even his disciple Tang San, who is known as the "cheat king," would not be able to compare to him.
Tang San is called the "Cheat King," which is more due to the protagonist's halo, while Chen Luo's cheating is in the true sense, which is equivalent to modifying his own attributes.
After the assessment level test, because of Chen Luo's top-level seventh test, Seahorse Douluo warmly welcomed Chen Luo and his party, personally led them into Seahorse City, and settled them in the city lord's mansion.
Chen Luo originally thought that only the Sea God's Nine Trials would receive such treatment, but he didn't expect that he, as a top-tier Seven Trials participant, would also be able to enjoy it.
However, it makes sense. The top-level seven trials mean that Chen Luo will definitely become the future successor of the Seagod Island's enshrinement, and after the seven trials, Chen Luo's strength will definitely increase significantly. I guess everyone has this kind of insight.
After settling in, Chen Luo and his group immediately embarked on their first test.
Without exception, everyone's first test was to cross the light of the sea god.
However, unlike the plot in the book, the number of steps that Chen Luo and the other two had to climb was doubled.
In the book's plot, the Black-level assessment only requires climbing 108 steps to pass through the Sea God's Light, but Flander and Liu Erlong need to climb 216 steps.
The top-level assessment requires climbing 136 steps, while Chen Luo needs to climb 272 steps.
In Chen Luo's view, the reason why the number of steps doubled was likely related to their own assessment of their strength.
When the Shrek Seven Devils arrived at Seagod Island, they were all Soul Emperors, while Flander and Liu Erlong were Soul Douluos.
Although Chen Luo is also a Soul Emperor, his true strength can basically crush ordinary Soul Douluos, and if he really goes all out, he is not without the power to fight against a Title Douluo.
Led by a purple-clad sea spirit master, Chen Luo and his two companions arrived at their destination in no time.
Chapter 236 Improvement Under Immense Pressure
Upon arriving at the foot of Poseidon Mountain, Chen Luo could clearly sense a majestic and solemn atmosphere, and there seemed to be an insurmountable power existing on Poseidon Mountain, giving people a slightly oppressive feeling.
When Chen Luo used his Dragon Eyes, he could see a golden light enveloping the Sea God Mountain, with the edge of the light covering the first step of the Sea God Mountain.
Without a doubt, that was the light of the sea god.
On their way here, Chen Luo and his group had already learned about the situation of the Sea God's Light from the Purple-Clad Sea Soul Master. Now that the Purple-Clad Sea Soul Master had left, Chen Luo and his group could simply start the challenge directly.
"I'll go first!" Chen Luo said.
After saying that, Chen Luo activated his martial soul, but did not summon the Golden Luo Three Cannons.
He then headed towards the steps, but before he could even step onto them, Chen Luo already felt a wall of energy that seemed to be tangible.
With Chen Luo's strength, he easily passed through the energy wall, his feet landing steadily on the steps as he began to walk upwards.
Chen Luo could clearly feel the pressure coming from all directions, but he could completely accept the current level of pressure.
Chen Luo climbed the five steps with great ease. Afterward, he could feel the pressure increase significantly and the consumption of his soul power was also very large. However, this level was nothing to Chen Luo.
Under the watchful eyes of Flander and Liu Erlong, Chen Luo climbed all fifty-five steps in one go.
According to the book's plot, this number of steps represents the position Tang San reached when he unleashed his full power during his first challenge against the Sea God's Light.
However, Chen Luo appeared very relaxed and carefree.
It should be noted that Chen Luo's current soul power level is level 68, which is the same as Tang San's soul power level when he first challenged the Sea God's Light in the book.
Chen Luo possessed a 100,000-year soul ring, and Tang San also obtained a 100,000-year soul ring due to Xiao Wu's sacrifice.
On the surface, the two seem to have similar setups, but Chen Luo deliberately makes it appear more relaxed than Tang San.
In reality, the two have very different abilities; they could even be described as not being in the same league.
Not to mention the 100,000-year soul ring, 100,000-year soul bone, and external soul bone, both of them possess these.
But besides that, Chen Luo also possesses the left arm bone of a 500,000-year-old Holy Dragon and the skull of a 3 million-year-old Dragon. These two items alone are enough to leave Tang San far behind. Even in terms of physical strength, Chen Luo is the complete winner.
Chen Luo's martial soul level is also higher than Tang San's, not to mention his god-level cultivation technique, which completely surpasses the Xuan Tian Gong, hence the gap between them.
After reaching the 55th step, Chen Luo continued to climb until he finally stopped at the 80th step.
Chen Luo could still go higher, but he didn't continue to challenge his limits. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the spot and entered a state of cultivation.
The current pressure is just right; training here will greatly improve efficiency.
"Two hundred and seventy-two steps, it doesn't seem too difficult," Chen Luo thought to himself.
Upon seeing this, Flander and Liu Erlong below began to traverse the light of the sea god one after the other.
As soon as they stepped onto the steps, they immediately felt immense pressure. However, since they were all Soul Masters, they were able to advance easily on the first few dozen steps. But after that, it became somewhat difficult.
Flander couldn't help but exclaim, "How did that guy do it so easily?"
