An uncontrollable, intense light flashed in Sea Horse Douluo's eyes, and almost simultaneously, he uttered the same words, "Top--Level-Seven--Trial--."
Sea Horse Douluo already knew that Tang Hao was exceptionally talented. Judging from his appearance, he was not even sixty years old, yet his cultivation had already reached level 95, making his cultivation speed comparable to that of Bo Saixi Titled Douluo. However, Sea Horse Douluo believed that with Tang Hao's talent, he could at most obtain a Black Level Six Trials, the same as Sea Dragon Douluo, since Tang Hao's Martial Soul was not Sea Martial Soul.
Who would have thought that Tang Hao's talent was truly so astonishing, obtaining the Top-tier Seven Trials! Obtaining the Top-tier Seven Trials meant becoming the successor to the High Priest of Sea God Island, that is, the next leader and administrator.
Blood One light pierced straight into the sky, causing a flash of crimson light to appear in the clear blue sky. Apart from the Sea God Hall, all the thousands of people on Sea God Island, as well as the other six Sacred Pillar Douluo, turned their gazes toward the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, and respect appeared in everyone's eyes.
Sea God Hall.
"The Tang family is ultimately insatiable. My severed arm has been healed, my internal injuries have been cured, and my cultivation has returned to that of Titled Douluo. If I had chosen to leave back then, I wouldn't have had to take your place and assume the responsibilities of the High Priestess of the Sea God."
Qian Daoliu gazed at the crimson pillar of light that stained the azure sky with blood, a predictable smile playing on his lips. If his greed was akin to draining the pond to catch all the fish, he wouldn't have wasted any resources unless he had absolutely no other choice. As for the Tang family, they weren't even willing to pretend; they wanted to get their hands on every benefit, leaving not a drop of soup for themselves.
As for the price to pay and the responsibilities to fulfill in order to gain benefits, the Tang family will naturally fulfill them if they are profitable for themselves. However, if they would harm their own interests, then needless to say, they will definitely try to push the boundaries and overstep the limits in an attempt to circumvent these so-called responsibilities.
Unfortunately, Tang Hao was not facing Bo Saixi. Bo Saixi might not be able to force Tang Hao to make a sacrifice, but could the Sea God not do it either? If a Deity couldn't even fully control the servant he had personally promoted, then that Deity would truly be a fool.
"The Tang family is greedy and shameless, and your Qian Family is no better."
Beside him, Bo Saixi, whose eyes held a faint hint of joy, gave a soft hum upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words.
For the past month, apart from going out to find some vicious pirates to capture and bring to Sea God Island for Bo Saixi's arm regeneration experiment, Qian Daoliu has basically not left Sea God Island. The relationship between the two has eased considerably.
Bo Saixi finally told Tang Hao that he possessed a great deal of internal energy and felt a pang of guilt for scheming against Tang Hao. He then hinted to Tang Hao that since he had regenerated his severed arm and returned to his peak, he should leave Sea God Island.
The Sea God Trial: to gain any opportunity, one must pay a corresponding price. Bo Saixi believed that Tang Xiao would not have failed to inform Tang Hao of these things. However, Tang Hao, who had already returned to his peak, was still not satisfied and continued to choose to accept the Sea God Trial.
Just as Qian Daoliu said, the Tang family is greedy and extremely selfish. In that case, allowing such a person to pass the top-level test and sacrifice himself to open the door to the Sea God Ninth Trial is a kind of recycling of trash. Letting such a person sacrifice himself to open the glorious Sea God Ninth Trial's inheritance ceremony is an honor for him.
Qian Daoliu replied calmly, "At least above the average level of the major powers on the continent."
Qian Daoliu believed he hadn't been exaggerating his abilities, after all, aside from the Clear Sky Sect, which he was determined to eliminate, he hadn't been involved in any patriarchal schemes. He had generously incorporated all the Clear Sky Sect's affiliated forces into the Spirit Hall without any suppression or discrimination. Even when Ning Rongrong, the young princess and young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, came to the Spirit Hall to study, the Spirit Hall provided her with the normal education and training for a genius, without withholding any of the cultivation resources allocated to her.
He also arranged for Ning Rongrong to work under Xie Yue, so that she could learn and gain experience.
Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi was taken aback once again. How could Qian Daoliu's moral standards be above the average of the major powers on the continent? Just how low were the moral standards of those other powers?
The red light gradually faded, and the seven red light screens disappeared one by one into Tang Hao's forehead, transforming into a strange Red Seven-Pointed Star. The surprise on Tang Hao's face gradually became complicated, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was pondering the meaning of some new test in his mind.
"Senior, may I ask your full name?" Sea Horse Douluo bowed slightly to Tang Hao. Tang Hao had received a top-level test that he had to complete, which meant that he would become the next High Priestess of the Sea God, that is, the successor of the High Priestess of the Sea God, which was worthy of his respect.
"Tang Hao."
A deep voice rang out, and Tang Hao uttered his name.
Sea Horse Douluo swallowed hard. "It's an honor to be your examiner. Although I don't understand why the top-level assessment has come to you, for a long time to come, if you need anything on the island, you can come to me. I will do my best to help you."
"No need for such formalities."
Tang Hao asked calmly, "Does receiving the top-level assessment mean that I will become the next High Priest of Sea God Island after the assessment is completed?"
Hearing Tang Hao's question, Sea Horse Douluo had no doubts. When Tang Hao returned to his peak cultivation, he had already guessed that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao might have some connection. He replied, "That's right, Lord Tang Hao. After completing the Black Level Assessment, you will become the Sacred Pillar Douluo of Sea God Island. The Top-level assessment will make you the next High Priest of Sea God Island, the person in charge of Sea God Island. Since its first appearance, there has never been a record of someone failing the Top-level assessment. The last time the Top-level assessment appeared was the assessment of the island's Grand Pontiff."
God bless Haotian! Big brother, I did it!
Tang Hao nodded, his heart filled with extreme excitement. Coming to Sea God Island was indeed the right decision. Just as Tang Xiao had hoped, he had passed the top-level assessment and become the next High Priest of Sea God Island, which meant putting the power of Sea God Island in the hands of the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Hao turned his head and looked towards the direction of the mainland. "Big brother, I'm entrusting Xiao San to your protection. Once I complete these Top-tier Seven Trials as soon as possible and replace Bo Saixi as the next high priest of Sea God Island, that will be the time for our Clear Sky Sect to be rebuilt!"
After that, Tang Hao began his daily climbing, and as Sea Soul Master who had passed the Purple Level assessment, the First Trial was climbing the Sea God Staircase.
After confirming that nothing went wrong on Sea God Island and that Tang Hao had replaced Bo Saixi as the new sacrifice, Qian Daoliu left Sea God Island and returned to the Spirit Hall.
