• Sea Horse Douluo accepted Fang Ling's purpose of seeking divine trials and called for one person to step forward.

Fang Ling oversaw the Sea God assessments on Sea God Island, where Ning Rongrong, Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling each received the Top Tier Seven Trials. Dugu Yan’s assessment then surged past the pillar’s markings and reached its summit, leaving Bo Saixi and the others stunned as its result remained to be revealed.

• Sea Horse Douluo began Ning Rongrong’s assessment, and the light advanced from blue through black before turning red and granting her the Red Level Seven Trials.
