Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

She didn't even know how to describe it. You have to understand that when she participated in the assessment at the age of eighteen, she was not even level forty yet, and at twenty-one she was still only a Soul Master.

Even the strongest of the Seven Sacred Pillars only reached the Soul King level at the age of twenty-one, and that was under the influence of the Sea God's assessment.

"I think you might surprise me." After saying that, the Sea Maiden Douluo began to move.

A blue pillar of light rose from Ning Xingchen's body, then quickly changed to white, yellow, and purple, before finally turning black.

He quickly rose to the sixth level of the Black Rank on the Holy Pillar.

“Xingchen is definitely extraordinary,” Sword Douluo said in a low voice.

Just as Sword Douluo finished speaking, the black beam of light suddenly turned red, the same red beam as Ning Dingling's before.

Another top-level assessment?

No, the red light is dozens of times larger than the previous one.

A crimson light shot straight into the sky, followed by the simultaneous trembling of the other six sacred pillars on Poseidon Island, with beams of crimson light also rising into the air.

The seven beams of light converged at a single point in the air, transforming into a golden ray that descended from the sky.

This is?

The Sea Maiden Douluo discovered that the current situation had reached a blind spot in her knowledge: the Sea God's assessment also had a golden level?

The golden light descended and headed straight for Ning Xingchen.

It was indeed the Nine Trials of the Sea God.

His current state far surpasses that of Tang San at the same stage, so the Sea God has no reason not to choose him.

A golden beam of light descended, and nine square golden light screens converged and finally settled between Ning Xingchen's eyebrows.

On his forehead, there was a golden trident mark, which gave Ning Xingchen a special air of nobility and authority.

Although he already knew that he was one of the Nine Trials of the Sea God, Ning Xingchen still pretended not to know and asked the Sea Maiden Douluo.

"Senior Ama, what is this all about?"

"Um, well, I...I don't know either."

Ning Xingchen said, "I think I have nine assessments."

"This is the Ninth Trial of the Sea God. It's normal that she doesn't know it since it's the first time it's happening."

Suddenly a figure appeared in the sky; it was none other than Poseidon.

Poseidon held a three-meter-long golden scepter, wore a bright red robe, had long sea-blue hair, and looked to be around thirty years old, exuding a noble and elegant air.

Poseidon was an absolutely rare goddess, even surpassing the unparalleled beauty of Bibi Dong.

"Greetings, High Priest." The Sea Maiden Douluo bowed and greeted her.

Poseidon nodded in response to the Sea Maiden Douluo, then came to Ning Xingchen and looked at the trident mark on Ning Xingchen's forehead.

“I’ve finally waited for you. Can you tell me your origins?” Perseid said.

Ning Xingchen said, "My name is Ning Xingchen, and we both come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School of Douluo Continent."

“Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?” Poseidon didn’t know that, so she asked in a different way, “Then what is your relationship with the Spirit Hall?”

Ning Xingchen said, "A hostile relationship."

Hearing Ning Xingchen say this, she felt relieved. After all, the Spirit Hall had attacked their Seagod Island not long ago, and even if they passed the test, many soul masters on Seagod Island might not recognize them.

“Good, very good. From now on, you don’t need to bow to anyone on Poseidon Island, including me.”

"Ama, pass on my orders: until they complete their assessment, they are all honored guests of my Seagod Island. No one is allowed to offend them. Apart from not being able to help them with their assessment, try to satisfy them as much as possible. Hmm... as for their accommodation, they can stay in your Ama Castle."

"In addition, summon the other six people to the Temple of the Sea God tomorrow for a meeting."

"Yes," the Sea Maiden Douluo replied respectfully.

Poseidon glanced at Ning Xingchen and said, "Keep it up. With your potential, I believe you will soon be able to complete the Nine Trials of the Sea God."

As soon as he finished speaking, Persia West Nine disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Hmph... This high priest of Seagod Island is very strong, possibly reaching the level of the person who attacked my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School back then," Sword Douluo commented.

Back then, they had only recently become Title Douluos, and the gap between them was huge. Now they have reached level 96, and the gap is still surprisingly large.

This was the second time they had experienced such pressure, and it was not a pleasant feeling. Their opponent's soul power had definitely reached level ninety-nine.

Both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo felt that their level 96 soul power was utterly insignificant compared to a level 99 Title Douluo; they were simply too weak.

Chapter 106 was too high-profile; the assessment has been strengthened.

"Is your High Priest level 99?" Sword Douluo suddenly asked Sea Maiden Douluo.

"That's right, the High Priest is indeed level ninety-nine, a demigod-level existence, invincible on the sea." The Sea Maiden Douluo said with a look of admiration.

"Demigod?"

The group gasped in astonishment upon hearing this, realizing that such a powerful being existed in the world.

Looking at his own level 96 soul power, Sword Douluo felt that he was still far, far behind. Even the gap between the peak of level 96 and level 97 was insurmountable.

It also took my father, Chen Jianjun, many years to achieve his breakthrough.

At first, he thought it wouldn't be that difficult, but after he reached the peak of level 96, he realized that even at the peak of level 96, breaking through to level 97 was not so easy.

This is several times more difficult than breaking through from level 89 to level 90.

"Gentlemen, I'll take you to the Sea Maiden City. Would you like to stay here first, and then I'll tell you about our Sea God Island," said the Sea Maiden Douluo.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Ning Dingling replied.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, please follow me." The Sea Maiden Douluo said with a smile.

The Sea Maiden Sacred Pillar is only about one kilometer away from Sea Maiden City. Along the way, Sea Maiden Douluo also introduced the situation of Sea God Island and Sea Maiden City to Ning Xingchen and the others.

As they approached the City of the Sea Maidens, Hai Mingyue finally mustered the courage to ask the Sea Maiden Douluo a question.

Hai Mingyue said, "Lord Douluo Hai Nu, may I ask you something?"

Since she came with Ning Xingchen, the Sea Maiden Douluo naturally gave her face, even though Hai Mingyue had not yet participated in the assessment.

"Go ahead and tell me," said the Sea Maiden Douluo.

"My sister came to Poseidon Island six years ago. She should have turned eighteen four years ago. Her name is Hai Minglan. Do you know her?" Hai Mingyue looked at the Sea Maiden Douluo with a weak expression.

"Hai Minglan?"

“I remember that when she came four years ago, her soul power had reached level 36, and she had also passed the second test of the purple level. Her talent was quite good. She should also be living in the Sea Maiden City, but I don’t know her exact residence. I can have someone help you find her later,” the Sea Maiden Douluo replied.

"Thank you, thank you, Sea Maiden Douluo." Hai Mingyue immediately bowed and thanked her. Her sister had not died and had even obtained the second level of the Purple Rank Trial.

Following the Sea Maiden Douluo, they soon arrived at the center of Sea Maiden City, at the Sea Maiden Douluo's city lord's mansion.

The Sea Maiden Douluo directly allocated most of the area to Ning Xingchen and others to live in.

She dared not neglect the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and the best place in the Sea Maiden City was her city lord's mansion.

After the Sea Maiden Douluo led them to their lodgings, she also found more than a dozen servants for Ning Xingchen and the others to use, mainly to take care of their daily lives.

As for Hai Mingyue, the Sea Maiden Douluo found one of her subordinates to take her to find her sister.

After all, the Sea Maiden City isn't very big. Rather than a city, it's about the size of a town on the mainland, so finding someone is quite easy.

Ning Xingchen arrived at the front hall of his residence.

Ning Xingchen said, "Everyone already knows the content of their divine exams, right? Mine is about traversing the Light of the Sea God? What about yours?"

“Me too!” Ning Dingling said first.

"Mine is the same one."

"Me too, me too."

Of the nine people, only Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Zhao Ziyun remained silent; the divine tests for the others all revolved around traversing the light of the Sea God.

"Uncle Jian, what are the contents of your assessment?" Ning Xingchen asked curiously.

Sword Douluo said, "My attack was enough to defeat the combined attack of two Holy Pillars at will."

“What a coincidence, I’m the same as you,” Bone Douluo said.

Their soul power was already at level 96, so crossing the light of the sea god was not very meaningful for them.

Then everyone looked at Zhao Ziyun.

"My goal is to defeat just one person," Zhao Ziyun said with a smile. Actually, his method was relatively simple; defeating an opponent of the same level wasn't too difficult.

Ning Xingchen said, "Then you can decide for yourselves who to challenge, Uncle Jian. However, it's best not to finish the one-year assessment period in one go. You can improve slowly and hone your skills against opponents for a year, which is also a good option."

"Stars, we know that. You guys should keep up the good work too," Sword Douluo said with a smile.

"In that case, there's no need for us to stay here. Let's stay where the assessment is being conducted; it'll be more convenient there."

Ning Xingchen glanced at Qin Ming and said, "Qin Ming, you should come with us too. Although you haven't reached the age for the assessment yet, it won't stop you from cultivating with us."

"Alright, I'll go with you, Young Master and Sect Master," Qin Ming said with a smile. Leaving him here alone would be uncomfortable.

“Then let’s go. Follow me, Uncle Jian. Actually, you can go and see for yourselves,” Ning Xingchen said.

"it is good!"

The nine of them set off together, and under the guidance of the steward left behind by the Sea Maiden Douluo at the City Lord's Mansion, they soon arrived at the first test, the staircase leading to the Sea God's Light.

There are 333 steps in total, and Ning Xingchen naturally wants to reach the top.

Ning Dingling is on the 136th step!

Ah Yin and Liu Erlong are at level 108!

As for Qingyu, he was the only one taking the purple-level assessment, so he had the lowest staircase to climb, only needing to climb eighty-one steps.

The purple-level assessment is indeed much simpler than the black-level assessment.

Everyone looked at the long staircase. Ning Xingchen glanced at Sword Douluo and said, "Uncle Sword, why don't we give it a try first!"

Sword Douluo said, "Then I'll give it a try first. Anyway, it's not my test, so I'll let you guys test the waters."

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Sword Douluo's expression changed slightly. He then walked up step by step without stopping, as if he could not see any obstacles.

He climbed step by step until he reached the 300th step, when Sword Douluo finally felt immense pressure, but he did not stop.
