Can I Leave Now?

On the other side, the Sea Dragon Douluo's expression became increasingly strange after hearing Su Cheng's address to Bo Saixi and the questions he asked.

He was unaware of the existence of the Sea God Nine Trials, and had never heard of any "Godhood Inheritance" before.

But as a Titled Douluo grew up under the faith of the Sea God, even if it was only the first time he heard about it, he could roughly guess its meaning.

So, the High Priest brought him here for...?

Bo Saixi didn't notice the strange look in Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes.

At this moment, she herself was also in a state of utter confusion.

Forcibly suppressing the confusion, unease, and other emotions welling up inside her, she looked at Su Cheng and said calmly, "Come with me."

After saying that, he walked towards the more distant Sea God Mountain.

Su Cheng didn't ask any more questions and quickly followed.

The series of actions I just took to evade divine detection were all driven by instinct.

His subconscious told him that he must never take on assessments that were too high-level, and that the lower the level of the test, the better.

As for what level he can reach, that depends on how the light emanating from the Sacred Pillar assesses his condition.

However, it seems that Purple Level is already the minimum standard.

Even under the cover of the Source Power, Su Cheng showed no potential whatsoever. His Soul Power was restricted, making it difficult for him to advance to a higher level. Moreover, he lost an arm, which also impaired his combat power.

However, according to the Seven Sacred Pillars' mechanical understanding, his current strength is at the level of Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo. Considering his young age, he deserves a top-level Purple Level assessment.

As they walked, Su Cheng glanced at the red-clad figure to his side and asked, "Why did that Titled Douluo call you High Priest? What does that mean? Is it the same as the High Priest of the Spirit Hall?"

"That's right."

"So, your strength...?"

"I am also a level 99 Peerless Douluo."

Su Cheng was taken aback at first, then fell silent.

Neither of them spoke again, and they arrived at the foot of Sea God Mountain in silence.

After stopping, Bo Saixi gazed at the majestic temple standing atop the mountain and stood silently for a long time.

He turned to stare at Su Cheng, his gaze probing, "You... why did you only pass the Purple Level Three Trials?"

"Why what?" Su Cheng looked completely bewildered. "What level of trial should I take?"

"..."

Bo Saixi paused slightly, pursed her red lips, and for a moment didn't know how to explain it to him.

Even disregarding the person in his memory, given Su Cheng's age, foundation, combat strength, and other qualities, he should not have only received a Purple Level assessment.

On the other hand, she did not think that the Seven Sacred Pillars' test would be wrong.

That's divine power.

On this continent, who can escape the test of divine power?

It should be noted that she herself underwent the trials of the Seven Sacred Pillars, reaching the Top Eight Trials, and gradually rose to the position of Sea God Island High Priest.

Even the Su Cheng in my memory, before he attained enlightenment, actively avoided the Sea God Trial and never thought of deceiving him.

Not to mention the much more immature boy in front of him.

The truth was elusive, leaving her feeling somewhat lost.

"Could it really all just a farce, and I'm just overthinking things? Or is the future predetermined and has nothing to do with me?"

Amidst the doubts, surprise, and panic, there was also a faint, almost imperceptible sense of relief and relief.

Suppressing the turmoil in her mind, Bo Saixi asked in a deep voice, "What is your First Trial?"

"Aren't you the High Priest here? Don't you know?" Su Cheng asked in return.

"The trials are bestowed by the Lord Sea God, and I have no right to interfere. I can only know the specifics of the tests that concern me," Bo Saixi patiently explained.

Su Cheng nodded upon hearing this.

The concept of divine trials sounds mystical and unsettling. I've never heard of any deity sending down tests before. Who knows the specifics?

In fact, Bo Saixi was not lying.

She doesn't need to concern herself with ordinary assessments; otherwise, all those adult Soul Master on Sea God Island who undergo trials every year wouldn't need to do anything else.

She will only accompany the next high High Priest when the Top Seven Trials or eighth test occurs and the next high priest is chosen.

As for the legendary Sea God Nine Trials, that was beyond her knowledge at this moment.

"The First Trial is to kill an Evil Spirit Orca that is over 50,000 years old." Su Cheng quickly learned the specific content of the First Trial the Purple Level.

"Is this the difficulty level for the very First Trial?" Bo Saixi asked casually, without showing much surprise.

The difficulty of the assessment tasks is arranged based on the comprehensive qualities of the test takers.

Given the opponent's strength, this level of difficulty is quite normal.

At this moment, Su Cheng spoke up again, asking, "It seems that my test has little to do with the 'Godhood Inheritance' you mentioned before. I'm sorry to disappoint you. But since that's the case, can I leave now?"

"..." After a moment of silence, Bo Saixi gazed at him and said slowly, "You should have felt it too. Completing the test will also be of great benefit to you. Why not complete the test first before we talk about leaving?"

Su Cheng thought about it. He had given the Spirit Hall a six-month deadline to send a message, so there was no need to rush.

So he nodded in agreement.

"Go and live in Sea Dragon City on Sea God Island for now. Come find me after you have completed the First Trial."

"Good."

Watching Su Cheng's departing figure, Bo Saixi, standing at the Sea God Mountain, was lost in confusion.

To be fair, she certainly didn't want Su Cheng to leave like this.

Even when she first brought him to Sea God Island, An's intention was to keep him there forever.

The problem now is that Su Cheng has not received any assessment at the Black Level or higher, which means that the island cannot restrain him at all.

Unlike Soul Master who complete the Black Level Assessment and are bound to the Seven Sacred Pillars, Soul Masters who complete the Black-level assessment will inevitably become Sacred Pillar Douluo.

For Soul Master who have completed the intermediate and lower-level assessments, the rule that they "must never leave Sea God Island for life" is maintained by human intervention.

On the one hand, since these Soul Masters were assessed at a relatively low level, it meant that their potential was limited and they were unlikely to become Titled Douluo, so they could be easily restricted.

On the other hand, the people of Sea God Island are all devout believers who regard the identity of Sea God Warrior as an honor, and they would not think of leaving here on their own initiative, so there is no need to expend divine power to restrain them.

Otherwise, if each of the more than three thousand Soul Master on Sea God Island took a portion of the divine power, then the Seven Sacred Pillars would not be able to continue to be maintained.

As for killing Su Cheng, regardless of whether it is even possible, Bo Saixi had already given up on the idea after their previous fight.

So now, she was starting to have some doubts.

At night, Su Cheng, who had moved into Sea Dragon City, opened his eyes and woke up from his self-hypnosis.

The vertical lines on his forehead gleamed faintly, and his eyes also shone with a golden light.

He was observing the purple triangular mark that represented the Sea God Trial with his True Vision.

"So that's how it is. This is the so-called Sea God Trial..."

In his field of vision, a golden light, condensed to its extreme, gathered on his forehead.

Purple is just a mark, representing different assessment levels, and has no real meaning.

That golden light was being sealed off by several faint and subtle stripes of law.

Su Cheng easily Insight the meaning behind it; it was the completion standard corresponding to different tasks.

It's like a program requirement; once the corresponding task is completed, it can be unlocked, and then some of the energy in the imprint can be released.

Su Cheng examined the extremely dense mass of energy.

It resembles Soul Power, but it is not pure Soul Power; it also contains the power of faith.

It has some properties similar to the Sea God's Light, but it is much easier to absorb than the Sea God's Light, and can be considered a kind of prototype of divine power.

Moreover, this mark is only attached to the surface of the body, unlike Lorelai's Black Level Trial, which was directly imprinted on the soul.

For ordinary Soul Master, the difference is not significant, but Su Cheng is different.

He possesses the True Sight Eye, which contains Source Power that allows him to Insight the essence of things, as well as innate power on the same level as Innate Power.

Since the mark hadn't penetrated his soul, he could directly break through those barriers without even completing the mission and directly obtain the rewards.

The mark contains a great deal of energy. Based on a rough estimate, the three trials combined should be able to help him increase his Soul Power Level by at least six levels, given his current cultivation level.

"That's quite generous," Su Cheng smiled. "Is it because you see me as a Soul Master with incomplete meridians who can no longer advance through self-cultivation, so you've used all the rewards to increase my Soul Power?"

Although the rewards seem good, even comparable to the previous Black Level Assessment, there is actually a big difference between the two.

The most valuable aspect of the Black Level Assessment lies in the various trials arranged by the Seven Sacred Pillars, which can strengthen the foundation and assist cultivation to the greatest extent, something that lower-level assessments do not possess.

Taking passing through the Sea God's Light as an example, the level increase brought by the light during this process far exceeds the reward after the final mission is completed.

However, there are many secrets hidden in the Black Level Assessment and Top-level assessments, and Su Cheng only learned some of them from Lorelai during the Simulation.

Since he had never experienced it firsthand, he wasn't entirely clear on the specific principles involved.

The Purple Level assessment, along with its rewards, was simply sealed within the brand on the forehead—a very straightforward and brutal method.

"The Second Trial is to defeat any one of the Purple-Clad Sea God Warrior at the Soul Saint level on Sea God Island."

"The Third Trial: withstand the attack of the Sea Dragon Douluo for half an incense stick's time."

A glint flashed in Su Cheng's eyes as he thought to himself, "I can directly dispel this mark and absorb the Soul Power within. But there's no need to rush. Before that, I need to level up as quickly as possible..."

Bo Saixi said today that she does not know the specific content of her assessment.

If this is true, then there might be some other room for maneuver in the process...
