Sea God's First Trial, Crossing the Sea God's Light!

Bo Saixi's voice was cool and steady as his gaze swept across each person's face.

"You are free to familiarize yourselves with the environment and Sea Region of Sea God Island within three days. Make good use of this time."

After she finished speaking, her gaze lingered on Lin Qingmo for half a second longer.

That look was complex, carrying scrutiny, curiosity, and a barely perceptible sigh.

Then she turned and left.

Lin Qingmo and the others wasted not a single moment of their three days of preparation time.

During the day, he led the group to survey the terrain and Sea Region distribution of Sea God Island, thoroughly exploring all the key areas.

At the same time, he found Xiao Bai.

The 100,000-Year Demon Soul Great White Shark King revealed half of its enormous head in the shallow waters, its huge eyes filled with curiosity.

"Since you didn't inherit the Lord Sea God's divine Divine Position, why have you come looking for me?"

Lin Qingmo laughed and said, "My wife is the successor to the Sea God Divine Position. She will be your master in the future, which is equivalent to me being your master, isn't it?"

"That... seems to make sense too."

The Xiao Bai and innocent girl was easily fooled.

"Xiao Bai, do me a favor."

Lin Qingmo cut to the chase. "I need to find a Sea Soul Beast that's over 50,000 years old. Can you help me pinpoint its location in the nearby Sea Region?"

"Only fifty thousand years?"

The Xiao Bai fish rolled its eyes. "They're everywhere in the sea, just look for them."

Xiao Bai grinned, revealing a mouth full of jagged teeth.

"Alright, I'll take care of it."

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and the others were summoned separately by Bo Saixi to learn about the specific rules of the first stage of their respective God Trial.

One night during my exam preparation period.

Inside Bibi Dong's bamboo house.

"Teacher..."

Hu Liena sat opposite Bibi Dong, twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, revealing a rare look of unease.

"Should I... go back to the Spirit Hall after this?"

She lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

"You don't need me to do anything here now, and besides..."

"Stay."

Bibi Dong interrupted her, her tone brief.

Hu Liena suddenly looked up.

"If those assessments are beneficial to you, then you can stay."

Bibi Dong picked up the teacup in front of her, her eyes indifferent yet resolute.

"Complete them, and your strength will experience a qualitative leap."

"And..."

She paused for a moment.

I feel more at ease with you here.

Hu Liena's nose tingled, she nodded vigorously, and her eyes reddened.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Bibi Dong took a sip of tea and said nothing more.

But Hu Liena didn't miss the very faint curve at the corner of her lips.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The day the God Trial begins.

Bo Saixi reappeared before the crowd, with a wide stone path extending towards the Sea God Hall behind her.

"The First Trial of the Sea God - Crossing the Sea God's Light"

Her voice carried far on the Sea Breeze.

"You must climb the stairs under the pressure of the Sea God's Light, within one year."

Those who fail to meet the requirements within the time limit will be considered to have failed the assessment.

After saying that, she called out the names one by one.

"Xiao Wu, one of the Sea God Nine Trials, will ascend 333 steps and receive double the Sea God's Light."

Xiao Wu swallowed.

Level 333, double rewards.

This game feels like it's already at hell difficulty from the start.

"Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, Red Top-Tier Trial, have climbed 136 steps."

Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

"Liu Erlong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Bai Chenxiang, and Hu Liena, Black Level Assessment, climb the 108 steps."

Dugu Yan snorted coldly, "One hundred and eight? How come there are so many less?"

Bai Chenxiang didn't speak, but silently clenched her fist.

Hu Liena is also getting ready to get started.

Finally, Bo Saixi's gaze fell on Lin Qingmo.

"Lin Qingmo."

"Your God Trial did not come from the Sea God, but according to the divine oracle, you can still climb with twice the Sea God's Light."

"Climbing won't count towards your God Trial score, but it can effectively improve your physical fitness and mental strength."

Lin Qingmo raised an eyebrow.

Can I use Double Sea God's Light as a gym equipment?

This kind of free promotion opportunity is too good to pass up.

"Clear."

Bo Saixi nodded slightly and pointed ahead at the long stone steps shrouded in golden-blue light.

A pale golden halo flowed across the surface of the steps, extending from the bottom into the depths of the clouds, with no end in sight.

That is the Sea God's Light.

Even just looking at them from afar, everyone could feel the heavy, oppressive feeling that surged up from the depths of their souls.

The Sea God's Light.

A golden-blue Light Screen spread from the first stone step, extending upwards into the depths of the clouds.

The entire stone staircase was shrouded in a thick, almost solidified, oppressive aura.

Xiao Wu was the first to step onto the stairs.

The moment the double Sea God's Light pressed down, her expression changed.

This thing not only affects the body, but also directly crushes the mind and soul.

From the Level 30 onwards, every step requires your full effort.

If it weren't for the several high-quality Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone given to her by Lin Qingmo, she wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Level 40, Level 41, Level 42, Level 43 --

Xiao Wu's knees trembled slightly, and sweat dripped down her chin onto the stone steps, rising in a wisp of white smoke.

She bit her lip hard, trying to take another step.

But the doubled Sea God's Light mercilessly pushed her back.

"Waaah..."

Xiao Wu reluctantly retreated, plopped down at the bottom of the steps, and gasped for breath.

Level 43.

Next up are the other girls.

Dugu Yan rushed up with a disdainful look, as if to say, "It's just climbing stairs."

Then, at level thirty-eight, reality taught him a lesson, and when he stepped down, his expression clearly conveyed two words—"I'm not convinced!"

Hu Liena gritted her teeth and rushed to level thirty-six. After being bounced down, she kicked the base of the stone step in a fit of anger, jumping up and down in pain.

Zhu Zhuqing, Level 33.

She appeared perfectly normal as she stepped down, but her slightly trembling fingertips betrayed her.

Bai Chenxiang, Level 30.

She didn't say anything, but silently walked to the side and sat down, her eyes fixed firmly on the top of the steps.

Ning Rongrong, Class of 2027.

Support-type Spirit Master are naturally at a disadvantage in projects that purely test their own endurance.

She knew the truth in her heart, but she was still unconvinced. "This staircase is not friendly to Support-type Spirit Master, I want to complain."

Unfortunately, neither Bo Saixi nor the Seven Sacred Pillars paid any attention.

Ye Lingling, Class of 26.

He remained expressionless after stepping down, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

Only Liu Erlong.

The Soul Douluo- level cultivation finally demonstrated its overwhelming advantage in the face of the Sea God's Light.

She strode forward with great momentum, walking from the first level all the way to the ninety-ninth level before stopping.

Level 99.

The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo were not surprised.

Liu Erlong strolled down the steps, and as she passed Lin Qingmo, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of smugness playing on her lips.

That look, translated, probably means. "Did you see that? Your Teacher Er Long's power."

Lin Qingmo smiled but didn't reply.

Because it was his turn last.

Lin Qingmo stretched his wrists and walked to the bottom of the stairs.

Double the Sea God's Light.

The moment the golden-blue Light Screen fell upon him, Lin Qingmo felt a terrifying pressure that penetrated straight to his soul.

But he did not stop.

The Blue Silver Domain of Life and Destruction quietly unfolded.

The Life Force surged within his body, while the Destruction Force formed a violent barrier at the edge of his soul.

Two diametrically opposed divine powers circulated wildly within his body, clashing head-on with the oppressive force of the Sea God's Light.

Level 30, proceeding steadily.

Level 50, beads of sweat appear on my forehead.

At level seventy, the pace slowed noticeably, but each step was taken with extreme determination.

Level 80, the entire audience fell silent.

All Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo focused their attention on him.

This kid's cultivation level... is clearly far lower than that female Soul Douluo teacher's, yet under double the pressure, he's almost caught up?

Level 85, Level 88, Level 90 --

Lin Qingmo stopped in her tracks.

The Blue Silver Domain of Life and Destruction has reached its limit.

His robes were soaked with sweat, and the balance between the Life Force and the Destruction Force within him was teetering on the brink of collapse.

Going any higher, you're truly gambling with your life.

He took a deep breath, turned around, and walked down the steps.

Level 90, double the pressure!

Seahorse Douluo's mouth was wide open.

Sea Dragon Douluo's pupils suddenly contracted.

The remaining Sacred Pillar Douluo exchanged bewildered glances.

They were all Titled Douluo, possessing incredibly precise perception of cultivation levels.

Lin Qingmo's Soul Power Level was what it was; he wasn't even Soul Saint.

But he managed to reach Level 90 even with double the Sea God's Light.

This goes beyond the realm of talent alone.

Bo Saixi stood at a distance, a strange light flashing in her deep eyes.

Her assessment of this boy... will have to be rewritten again.

At the very back of the crowd, behind her black robe and mask, Bibi Dong slowly curved her lips into a smile.

It's the expression a woman would show when looking at her proudest boy.
