Bo Saixi Takes a Disciple, Top-level Eight Trials
What truly surprised Qing Mu was that Dugu Bo, despite being so old, was still able to obtain the Black-Level Fifth Trial.
But thinking about it, it's normal. Dugu Bo reached the title of Douluo by cultivating himself despite having a flawed Martial Soul. His potential is no less than that of the Sacred Pillar Douluo, who barely broke through the bottleneck of the Seahorse Douluo through the Sea God Trial reward.
Now, Dugu Bo has resolved the flaws in his Martial Soul, raising its level to ninety-five, making him comparable to the strongest Sea Dragon Douluo among the Sea God Island's Sacred Pillar Douluo.
If he weren't so old, getting a Black-level Six Trials wouldn't be a problem.
Then, Dugu Yan stepped forward last and placed her hand on the Sacred Pillar.
The Sea God's Light changed rapidly, crossing the three stages of white, yellow, and purple in the blink of an eye, and finally arriving at the black position.
Furthermore, the black magic runes showed no sign of stopping, and in just a moment they rushed through the black area and arrived at the red area.
A crimson light suddenly shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds and turning the sky a blood red.
Upon seeing this, Seahorse Douluo's eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed in a slightly hoarse voice, "Top-Level Trial!!!"
The previous Black Level Assessment had already surprised him enough, but this Top-Level Trial was something Seahorse Douluo could never have predicted.
Soon, the magical runes on the Sacred Pillar advanced a little further before stopping.
At this moment, the demonic runes were already close to the very top of the Sacred Pillar.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Qing Mu's eyes. He wasn't surprised that Dugu Yan could reach the Top-Level Trial. After all, the sacrifice of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was enough to raise her potential by a whole level.
With her Martial Soul problem resolved and the pills made from herbs and Immortal Herb within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, becoming Super Douluo in the future is almost a certainty.
What truly surprised Qing Mu was that Dugu Yan's final assessment level was actually the same as Bo Saixi's Top-level Eight Trials!
This means that Dugu Yan has a fairly high chance of becoming Level 99 Limit Douluo, which is already quite impressive in the current Douluo 1 where cultivation methods are still not perfect.
"But that's fine too. The higher the assessment level, the greater the final Harvest. Maybe in the end, it can even attract the attention of some gods and allow one to ascend to the Divine Realm on their own."
Qing Mu smiled as he looked at Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan was one of his few friends, and he would take her to the Divine Realm if Dugu Yan wished.
However, if the other party could use their own power to bring me and my grandfather to the Divine Realm, that would be the best outcome.
On the other side, the moment Bo Saixi saw Dugu Yan pass the Top-level Eight Trials, he Teleportation to her side and looked at Dugu Yan, saying, "Child, would you be willing to become my disciple and succeed me as the High Priest of Sea God Island in the future?"
After hearing Bo Saixi's words, Dugu Yan blinked and asked, "May I?"
"Silly child, you achieved the same Top-level Eight Trials as me, so of course you can," Bo Saixi replied with a smile.
For Bo Saixi, this was the only good news of the day, because she would most likely have to make a sacrifice in order to open the Sea God Inheritance in the future, and Dugu Yan's appearance prevented the awkward situation of Sea God Island being without a high priest after she left.
You mean Sea God?
After becoming a god Sea God won't stay for long; he'll ascend sooner or later. And if he were to pass the position to the Sea Dragon, the latter's Black-Level Fifth Trial is simply not up to par.
Therefore, the appearance of Dugu Yan perfectly solved the current pain point of Sea God Island.
Then, Dugu Yan glanced at Dugu Bo, and upon seeing her grandfather nod, she immediately nodded and said, "Senior Bo Saixi, I'm willing!"
Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi was overjoyed and quickly said, "Good, good, good! Now I can say I have a disciple."
At this moment, Seahorse Douluo also offered his congratulations, saying, "Congratulations, High Priest, on Harvest an excellent disciple."
If it were Sea Dragon here, he might be a little unhappy, but Seahorse Douluo never cared much about the position of High Priest. Now that a Top-level Eight Trials person has appeared, it is indeed a good thing for Sea God Island.
At least after the other party takes over the position of High Priest, the Combat Power of their Sea God Island will not decrease too much.
At this moment, Ye Lingling walked up to Dugu Yan and smiled at Dugu Yan, saying, "Yanyan, it seems you will become the High Priestess of Sea God Island in the future."
"I still can't compare to you Lingling!"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan glanced at Qing Mu and said with some envy, "I really envy you, Lingling. If I could, I would also like someone to guide me to obtain the Divine Position Inheritance."
"It's your own fault for not taking action back then, you can't blame me for that."
Ye Lingling shrugged and smiled.
Hearing Ye Lingling's words, Dugu Yan was speechless. "Who can be as decisive as you? I almost suspected you were throwing yourself at me back then. If Qing Mu were that kind of person with ill intentions, you'd probably be left with nothing but crumbs by now."
"But it turns out I won, didn't I?" Ye Lingling looked at Qing Mu tenderly, her eyes full of love.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan rolled her eyes and ignored Ye Lingling.
Just then, a majestic voice suddenly echoed in Dugu Yan's mind.
"Sea God Trial, Time Travel, Sea God's Light!..."
Not only Dugu Yan, but everyone who underwent the Sea God Trial had the content of the test in their minds, and their faces were all somewhat surprised.
Qing Mu kept his eyes closed, as information about two assessments was simultaneously entering his mind.
One piece of information was about the Sea God Trial, which was largely the same as described in the original novel. However, since his strength was much greater than Tang San's in the original work, the assessment content was also enhanced accordingly.
However, Qing Mu could understand that the trial of passing through the Sea God's Light was essentially a test of the inheritor's acceptance of the Sea God Divine Power and a transformation of the body into a form suitable for containing the Sea God Divine Power.
Therefore, with his current strength, he naturally needs even greater power to achieve the same effect as in the original work.
The other test was the information from the God of Destruction's assessment. The content was equally simple and straightforward: Qing Mu's body would be gradually tempered starting with the aura of Destruction. The previous seven tests were all like this, only the concentration of energy aura differed.
The true form of the God of Destruction is Destruction Condensate, while Qing Mu's body is a human body. In order to inherit the power of Destruction, the body must be modified in order to accept the power of the Destruction Divine Position.
Of course, there is another method besides this, which is to suppress with absolute power.
As long as Qing Mu's strength is sufficient, the Destruction Power will naturally have no effect on Qing Mu.
However, Qing Mu clearly does not possess such strength at the moment, so he still needs to honestly undergo the assessment.
