Long Zhanye and Xiao Hongchen took the lead in completing Sea God First Trial.

During these more than a hundred days, Ji Juechen and Jiang Yixi also received good news one after another.

The two of them each relied on their own strength and passed through their own First Trial.

Rewards came one after another, and each of them received a level 1 Soul Power promotion.

Ji Juechen's Soul Power therefore climbed to Level 90, officially stepping into the threshold of Douluo title, and also obtained a God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

However, the end of First Trial also means the beginning of Second Trial.

The second test that emerged from Ji Juechen Sea of Consciousness was to let him dive into the deep sea and pull out the longest spike from Tyrant Thorn Sea Urchin, a man with 20,000 years of cultivation!

The Second Trial of Jiang Yixi is slightly simpler. She needs to complete twenty things for the villagers of Sea God Village.

As for the other nine people, they are still immersed in the envelope of Sea God's Light day after day, tempering Soul Power and polishing their bodies in that golden light.

Long Zhanye gave them a death order before leaving.

No one is allowed to pass Sea God's Light before the last day of assessment deadline.

He knows that the efficiency of cultivation in this light is several times that of the outside world, and he must make good use of this God-given resource.

Everyone knew it well and no one dared to disobey it.

Long Zhanye himself and Xiao Hongchen took the lead in continuing to break through the level.

Time waits for no one, and he is unwilling to waste time in low-level assessments.

At this moment, the voice in his Sea of Consciousness arrived as expected, clearly and solemnly reading the content of Second Trial:

"Sea God Second Trial, breakthrough·Ring Blockade."

"Under the premise of not killing any Sea Soul Beast, break through the blockade on the Ring Sea domain and reach the other side."

"No Soul Ring skills may be used!"

Long Zhanye couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and a touch of relief appeared between his brows. "The assessment is so simple?"

In his eyes, this is just a time-travel game without killing.

Under the guidance of Sea Cloud Douluo, he and Xiao Hongchen soon arrived at the sea area called "Ring Assessment Zone".

Looking at it, this sea area is in the shape of a huge circle. The water surface is blue and sparkling, and the surface is calm.

But under the operation of Long Zhanye Spiritual Soul Core, the Double Pupil hole opened, and layers of golden lines suddenly appeared in those eyes, penetrating all the illusions under the sea.

In the field of vision, hundreds of Sea Soul Beast are densely inhabiting this circular water area, with different shapes and sizes.

But what made him slightly relieved was that most of these Sea Soul Beast's cultivations were between a thousand and ten thousand years, and there was no powerful existence that he was afraid of.

However, Second Trial expressly states that - any Soul Skill may not be used.

Xiao Hongchen stood on the shore, looking at the seemingly calm sea, with a flash in his eyes, he came over and whispered:

"Grand Martial Uncle, we can use Flight Soul Guidance Device to directly accelerate and fly through the air. Those Sea Soul Beast can't go up to the sky, right?"

Long Zhanye shook his head slightly, his eyes still staring at the slowly swimming shadows under the sea, and his tone was calm:

"No, it won't be that simple. Those Sea Soul Beast will definitely attack when we pass by."

"And we can't kill them. Once they get entangled, it will be endless trouble."

"Flight Soul Guidance Device is fast, but in this sea area, we have no cover at all, but we will become the target of public criticism."

Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he had a unique understanding of Sea Soul Beast.

Although the cultivation level of Soul Beast in these seas is not high, the fluctuations of emotions and desires are more primitive and direct.

I saw Long Zhanye's eyes slightly closed, with a thought in his mind.

A purple-black mist quietly spread from his body, covering several feet around him like Night Veil coming.

That is his Fallen Domain. As God-Granted Domain, Fallen Domain is an extremely rare evil field.

It can silently and infinitely amplify the desires and evil thoughts deep in the hearts of all surrounding creatures.

It corrodes their reason, disturbs their emotions, makes the most docile creatures become violent, and makes the most united group fall into suspicion and internal strife.

The purple-black mist spread slowly toward the sea like a living thing, quietly penetrating the entire Ring Sea area.

The eyes of Sea Soul Beast, who were originally patrolling quietly, gradually became cloudy and fanatical under the erosion of this aura.

The first was a Sawtooth Shark with a thousand years of cultivation. It suddenly opened its huge mouth without any warning and bit hard at another smaller sibling beside it.

Immediately afterwards, the bitten Soul Beast suddenly became furious and responded with a violent tail blow.

Chaos spread quickly like a plague, the older ones began to bully the younger ones, and the older ones attacked the younger ones like crazy.

The entire Ring Sea domain fell into complete riots in just a few breaths.

The waves surged, water columns rose into the sky, and thousands of Sea Soul Beast bitten, chased, and roared each other under the shroud of purple-black mist.

Long Zhanye looked at the chaotic battlefield in front of him, curled his lips slightly, turned around and said softly, "Let's go."

The two of them stood up together and flew across the sea, their bodies streaking across the chaotic battlefield.

Those Sea Soul Beast were all immersed in the madness of fighting with each other at the moment, and had no time to pay attention to the human figures flying overhead.

In this way, the two of them traveled smoothly, crossing the entire Ring Sea area without any suspense, and landed firmly on the rocks on the other side.

As soon as the soles of Long Zhanye's feet touched the ground, the solemn voice from Sea of Consciousness sounded as promised:

"Sea God Second Trial, through. The reward Sea God Affinity is increased by five percent."

At the same time, a voice also echoed in Xiao Hongchen and Sea of Consciousness:

"Companionship through Sea God Second Trial will reward all Soul Rings whose life span will be increased by five hundred years."

Xiao Hongchen was shocked and looked down at the eight Soul Ring at his feet.

I saw that the original hundred-year-old Second Soul Ring was suddenly filled with intense light, and the color of Soul Ring slowly transformed from yellow to purple at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Now his Soul Ring Configuration has turned into one yellow, three purple and four black, and a total of eight Soul Ring. This configuration is already excellent at the level of Soul Douluo.

Xiao Hongchen took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and could not hide the joy in his eyes.

Long Zhanye, however, did not want to delay for a moment. He immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, sinking his sperm Divine Power deep into Sea of Consciousness.

Sure enough, the content of Third Trial has emerged:

"Tidal Body Tempering!"

"You need to stay above Silver Pillar for twelve hours every day for one year before you can pass the level."

When Long Zhanye finished reading this line of text, he couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart, "It's another year! How did I spend so much time?"

This God Trial obviously requires a lot of time accumulation. Twelve hours every day, for a whole year, it will be able to withstand the tidal impact on Silver Pillar.

If it were anyone else, they might have gritted their teeth and persisted.

But Long Zhanye knew very well that the situation on the mainland waited for no one, and he could not tolerate himself wasting more than three hundred days on this small third level.

He immediately sank into the deepest part of Sea of Consciousness. In that vast space, he asked the consciousness that had been sleeping for a long time:

"Senior, is there any way to quickly pass this test?"

Medusa's figure slowly emerged, with a trace of helplessness on that beautiful and indifferent face.

She shook her head gently. "Each god's assessment is set by the god himself. Whether you pass it or not is all your choice."

"The content of the assessment itself cannot be tampered with or circumvented."

Long Zhanye's heart sank, and a chill quietly filled his heart.

Is there really no other choice but to spend a year here in vain?

Just as he was frowning.

The voice of Medusa sounded again Youyou, with a prolonged ending and a meaningful pause:

"But... it's not impossible."

Long Zhanye perked up and said urgently, "Senior, please speak!"

Medusa said word for word, "There is another way, but very few people dare to try..."

"You can take the initiative to apply to the gods to increase the difficulty of the assessment."

"In this way, the content of the assessment will have a chance to change. The original assessment will be invalidated and replaced by a new and more difficult test."

Long Zhanye's eyes flashed, and he pulled out of Sea of Consciousness without hesitation.

He raised his head, looked across the vast sea, looked straight at a seemingly empty place in the distance, and said loudly:

"Examiner Hai Yun, I, Long Zhanye, hereby request that Sea God Third Trial increase the difficulty of the assessment!"

As soon as these words came out, Sea Cloud Douluo, who was hidden in the sea fog in the distance, was shocked and almost fell out of his hiding place.

He never expected that Long Zhanye knew that he was secretly observing from the beginning.

You must know that Long Zhanye's huge and almost terrifying spirit Divine Power has already understood all the troubles around it, but it has always been hidden and has not been exposed before.

Sea Cloud Douluo's face was filled with incredible shock.

He has lived for so many years and has been stationed at Sea God Village for hundreds of years. He has never heard of any assessor actively requesting to increase the difficulty of the assessment.

God Trial's road is a narrow escape from death. Everyone hopes that the assessment will be as simple as possible. Who would jump into a pit of fire if they have a bad brain?

But the young man in front of me just did it.

Shocked, Sea Cloud Douluo is an examiner, but he also knows that this matter is beyond his scope of authority.

After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his right hand, and a ray of blue light shot out from his palm, accurately sinking into the towering Sea Cloud Sacred Pillar behind him.

Layers of golden ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of Sacred Pillar, and a dazzling golden light rose into the sky and shot directly into the sky.

Sea Cloud Douluo said in a deep voice, "I can't be the master of the assessment. This matter needs to be decided by the high priest. I have sent a summons to Sacred Pillar."

Just a moment after the golden light rose into the sky, a clear and ethereal female voice sounded in the sky, which was the voice of Sea God Island High Priest Hai Kongming.

She did not show up, but the voice was as clear as if she was right next to her ears. "I have asked Lord Sea God for instructions."

"The assessor actively applied to increase the difficulty of the assessment. The original Third Trial'Tidal Body Tempering' is invalid. The content of the new Third Trial is as follows--"

"'Mad Shark Body Tempering': Stay under the attack of the Demon Soul Great White Shark group for one hour."

"During this period, no Soul Skill is allowed to be used, and no Soul Beast is allowed to be injured. The assessment takes effect immediately."

Xiao Hongchen could hear clearly from the sidelines. His expression changed instantly, and he couldn't hold back after hearing the last word.

He kept shouting, "Grand Martial Uncle! Tidal Body Tempering, although it will take a year, but at least it is safe! Stand on Silver Pillar for a year, and you can get through it slowly!"

"But now...Demon Soul Great White Shark group? That's Demon Soul Great White Shark!"

"You can persist under their siege for an hour and you still can't use Soul Skill to injure them?"

"This is more than one level higher than the original difficulty! If you can't hold on, it will be fatal! Let's not upgrade and withdraw the request!"

Xiao Hongchen was so anxious that his forehead was sweating and he was dancing around. He wanted to grab Long Zhanye's sleeves and drag him back.

Long Zhanye looked as calm as water, glanced at him lightly, and said firmly, "Time waits for no one."

"I must pass all the assessments in the shortest time. One year is too long and I can't wait."

Xiao Hongchen Seeing that he had made up his mind, he sighed, raised his head like a broken jar, and asked loudly toward the sky:

"Xiao Hongchen Dare to ask Senior High Priest! The difficulty of the test has increased, will the rewards also increase?"

Hai Kongming's voice sounded again, crisp and sweet with a hint of smile:

"No."

"The increase in the difficulty of the assessment was initiated by the examiner, not by other arrangements by the gods."

"Therefore, the reward after passing the assessment will be completely consistent with the original reward of 'Tidal Body Tempering' and will not change at all."

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xiao Hongchen firmly on the chest.

He was stunned for a moment, and stood there with his mouth open, unable to say a word for a long time.

There was only one thought left in his mind -

There is obviously an easy path to take, but you have to choose an extremely dangerous path just to save that year?

Is it worth it?

But Long Zhanye didn't even frown, and there was no trace of panic on his face.

He knew clearly in his heart that between a year and an hour, he would choose the latter without hesitation.

Time is the last thing he can afford to lose, and he has long been accustomed to danger.
