Kuzan Under Suspicion

"Well, what does it matter? It's not like these brats won't be able to pass!" A lazy voice rang out from nearby.

Who else could that familiar voice belong to but Kuzan?

"Uncle Kuzan, didn't you say you weren't planning to come to Sea God Island?" Oscar asked in surprise.

Kuzan shrugged and tilted his head. "Well, I was somewhat curious about your talents too, so I came to join the fun."

Oya was also rather surprised by Kuzan's sudden appearance. "Kuzan, you actually came. Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other in a long time."

Kuzan put on a thoughtful expression, as though recalling something, then calmly replied, "More or less. Usually, I just ride around aimlessly on the sea. I also took a trip around the Extreme North."

Oya did not exchange pleasantries with Kuzan for long. After all, they were in the middle of the assessment.

Tang San had not forgotten Oya's earlier reaction. Although his expression had eased considerably after Kuzan's arrival, that did not lessen Tang San's curiosity about what Oya had left unsaid.

"Lord Oya, why did you look so worried earlier? Could Mu Bai be in some danger?"

With his eyes closed, Oya explained anxiously, "I didn't explain everything to you before. I only spoke of the favorable side of the ratings. But nothing in this world is one-sided. Great benefits always come with great risks."

"The higher the assessment rating, the greater the difficulty. Passing naturally brings excellent rewards, but if you fail... the only outcome is death."

"Over all these years, only seven people have passed the Black-Level Six Trials!"

It was not hard to tell from Oya's words just how difficult the Black-Level Six Trials were—difficult enough to leave even a Titled Douluo like Oya utterly shocked.
