Cheating in the Trial, Utterly Absurd

In this life, Tang San no longer has the help of Immortal Herb and companions. Because he has not been able to completely suppress and refine the God-bestowed Soul Power, although he is already an 81-level Soul Douluo and has the ability to fight beyond his level with his Twin Martial Souls, he can at most fight against newly promoted Titled Douluo of level 91 or 92.

Faced with a powerful opponent like Bo Saixi, Tang San was instantly reduced to his original form.

"No, I have to do something!"

Anxious, Tang San pulled out an Original Crystal radiating azure light from his Soul Tool, Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight. It was the reward for his Fourth Trial. Using all the energy in it could form a protective shield, which was made of the Sea God's divine power. It was a trump card given to him by the Sea God to save his life.

Tang San sat down to meditate, recalling Bo Saixi's actions during the battle. Holding the azure crystal in his hand, he suddenly experienced an epiphany.

This scene completely stunned Bo Saixi and Tang Chen, who was standing to the side. Bo Saixi didn't even know what to do, because she hadn't received any notification that the assessment was over.

In other words, Tang San, who was meditating and attaining enlightenment in front of him, was still in the process of the Sixth Trial of the Divine Trial!

Bo Saixi knew all too well the consequences of Tang San passing the Sixth Trial. She was naturally unwilling to risk her life to unlock the Ninth Trial's power for Tang San, but she was also acutely aware of the consequences of interrupting her enlightenment. At best, her cultivation would regress; at worst, she would be crippled!

Interrupting the enlightenment of the Sea God's highly valued successor—can she, as the Sea God's Great Priest, bear the consequences?

In the past, Bo Saixi would not have bothered with such trivial matters, but everything changed after Tang San came to Sea God Island.

Lord Sea God has changed.

He's no longer impartial; in fact, one could say he's completely unscrupulous in his dealings with Tang San. Unconditionally bestowing generous rewards upon the inheritor—is this still the Sea God?

Bo Saixi was somewhat confused.

Under such a heavily flawed Divine Trial, can Tang San, who inherits the divine position, truly become a qualified deity?

The answer is no.

No, this can't be! Bo Saixi cried out in his heart.

I, Bo Saixi, absolutely condone such opportunistic behavior! Even if I am punished by the Lord Sea God today, I will have no regrets!

She looked at Tang Chen on the shore, who shook his head in disappointment, turned his back, and left the battlefield.

Clearly, Tang Chen was utterly disappointed in this great-grandson. He possessed immense talent but pursued only strength, completely neglecting moral character and having no moral compass. Tang Chen was unwilling to acknowledge such a descendant.

Even if he really passed the Divine Trial and became a god, so what? Tang Chen would always despise such opportunistic people!

"Fourth Spirit Skill, Vortex Cage!"

Bo Saixi made her move, but she used her Fourth Spirit Skill, which had the lowest damage output.

Clearly, she was still soft-hearted and unwilling to hurt Tang San, so she used the gentlest control-type Soul Skill.

The moment the Soul Skill struck, the azure crystal in Tang San's hand emitted a dazzling blue light, instantly forming an indestructible spherical protective shield that blocked Bo Saixi's attack.

"It's the power of the Vast Sea Crystal!"

Bo Saixi was shocked. As the Great Priest of Sea God Island, how could she not know where the power protecting Tang San came from? At this moment, her last remaining faith in the Sea God finally collapsed, leaving nothing behind.

"I see, Lord Sea God."

Bo Saixi silently watched the incense stick burn less and less. She knew, of course, that she was powerless to break through the protection of the Vast Sea Crystal, not even if Tang Chen came.

Such a life-saving trump card, if used well, could clearly become a killing move or a surprise attack for Tang San against the Spirit Hall.

Ironically, Tang San actually used it to cheat on the Divine Trial, which is utterly absurd.

Tang Chen, who hadn't gone too far, also turned around, staring in disbelief at the blue barrier surrounding Tang San. When he saw Poseidon sitting there with her eyes Bo Saixi over, Tang Chen could no longer suppress his resentment and anger.

"This is outrageous!"

Tang Chen roared, his Clear Sky Hammer crackling with terrifying black and red lightning, and leaped into the air, striking heavily at the tortoise shell on Tang San's body.

The hammer collided with the barrier, unleashing a terrifying shockwave. Tang Chen was thrown several meters away by the force of the impact, and the surrounding ground cracked and shifted, leaving only a flat layer of soil.

Tang San remained seated within the protective barrier, his eyes closed as he pondered what he had gained in the battle, unaffected by the external turmoil.

This is the domineering nature of the Vast Sea Crystal as a divine object; it represents the majesty of the Sea God and absolute defense. Such power far surpasses all the power in the Douluo Continent in terms of rank. Looking across the entire continent, the only one capable of damaging the barrier is probably the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all Soul Beast who hides in the Lake of Life.

"Tang San! You are so despicable! You are no longer worthy to be a disciple of my Clear Sky Sect!"

Tang Chen roared in anger; this time, Tang San had completely crossed his bottom line.

Tang San remained with his eyes closed, focusing on his enlightenment. The barrier not only blocked external attacks but also sound.

"Chen, it's no use."

Bo Saixi looked ashen-faced and spoke weakly.

"It's all over."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the promise I made to you."

Tang Chen was taken aback, then seemed to realize something. He slammed the Haotian Heavy Hammer into the ground, causing the Sea God Main Island to tremble violently. The surrounding sea surface also seemed to be greatly affected, with towering waves rising up.

The two remaining Sacred Pillar Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo and Sea Witch Douluo, appeared one after another. Looking at the incense that was about to burn out and Bo Saixi face, coupled with Tang Chen's anger and Tang San's enlightenment with his eyes closed.

With their experience, how could they not know what had happened?

Especially Sea Spear Douluo, whose strength has reached level 94, second only to Sea Dragon Douluo who sacrificed himself in the battle of the Spirit Hall, is the third strongest person on Sea God Island.

Seeing this scene, Bo Saixi was not the only one whose faith crumbled. The Sacred Pillar Douluo were all outstanding individuals who had successfully passed the Sea God Trial, and no one knew the dangers of the trials better than them.

Now, the Sea God is openly helping his successor cheat. The price for passing the test is the Great Priest's life.

Even the Great Priest is nothing more than a pawn that the Lord Sea God can discard at will, so what are his subordinates really?

"Let's go. There may be no place for us on this island anymore."

Sea Spear Douluo shook his head and said with a self-deprecating smile.
