Future geniuses

After listening, Bibi Dong transmitted her voice, "Teacher, it seems we were overthinking it."

"The recognition process of the Sea God's Heart is so rigorous that only geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power can be considered somewhat qualified, and even then, they might not be able to attract the attention of the divine sense left inside by the Sea God."

The Gui Mei rarely interrupted, asking, "Your Majesty, Saintess, is it still necessary for us to test the others?"

Yue Guan sighed, "Innate Full Soul Power, there are only a handful on the entire continent. Becoming a god at level 100 is indeed very difficult."

Qian Xunji pondered for a moment and said, "Continue testing. Some Soul Master have Martial Soul Martial Soul lean towards Spirit, while others lean towards Constitution. Therefore, different Martial Soul result in different levels of Mental Power and Constitution for each person."

"What if there's survivor bias? So let's test as planned."

Bibi Dong and the other two answered simultaneously, "Understood."

After Qian Xunji nodded to them, he continued to ask Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, you said before that you knew the cause and effect of the Douluo Continent, right?"

Lin Fan nodded. "Pretty much. Village Chief, what do you want to ask?"

Qian Xunji asked directly, "I want to ask, during Tang San's time, besides Tang San, who else do you think could have triggered the Sea God's Heart's approval?"

Lin Fan thought for a few seconds and said, "To be honest, besides Tang San, there were quite a few geniuses in that era. Perhaps it was because it was a time of great contention, but the number of Innate Full Soul Power alone was no less than one hand."

"Oh!" Qian Xunji asked with interest, "Could you tell me who these geniuses are, what their names are, and what their Martial Soul are?"

These are all future geniuses, Qian Xunji was naturally tempted. Knowing about them in advance would allow him to begin preparations.

Gui Mei silently pulled out his notebook.

"Let me think about it." Lin Fan thought for a moment and then said, "The first genius is Oscar, as mentioned before, the only Food-type Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power."

"But Oscar's Martial Soul is clearly not suitable for the Sea God Godhood."

"The second one is a girl named Shui Bing'er. Her Martial Soul is called Water-Congealing Flying Luan, but it is actually a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix."

Bibi Dong exclaimed in surprise, "The Ice Phoenix, a top-tier Beast Martial Soul on par with dragon Martial Soul, is indeed a genius."

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Talent, very good. This Shui Bing'er is only about two years older than Tang San, but she was a Soul Ancestor when she appeared."

"You should know that when Tang San was nearly fourteen years old, before he ate the Immortal Herb, his Soul Power was only around level 33. Shui Bing'er at the same age must have been close to becoming Soul Ancestor, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to become Soul Ancestor around the age of sixteen."

Qian Xunji nodded and said, "Compared to this, he is indeed a genius that is rarely seen in decades."

The Gui Mei wrote down Shui Bing'er's information in its notebook.

"The second genius is named Feng Xiaotian," Lin Fan continued. "His Martial Soul is a mutated form of the Gale Demon Wolf, the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf. When he first appeared in the novel, he was a Soul Ancestor and older than Shui Bing'er."

"However, Feng Xiaotian went astray a bit, trying to create his Self-Created Soul Skill at such a young age, which delayed his Soul Power cultivation. Otherwise, he should have reached the Soul King level when he made his debut."

"Although Feng Xiaotian neglected his cultivation of Soul Power, you know what, he actually created a technique similar to the Chaotic Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer the Clear Sky Sect Gale Thirty-Six Slashes."

Qian Xunji exclaimed, "Not bad, but he's been too hasty in figuring out how to Self-Created Soul Skill, and he's missed the optimal period for cultivation."

Gui Mei quickly memorized Feng Xiaotian's information.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "That's right. Later, he focused on cultivation and actually surpassed the others by a realm. If Tang San's Sixth Soul Ring hadn't been Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring sacrificed by Xiao Wu, Tang San would have almost been unable to suppress it."

Then, Lin Fan named the three geniuses of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation one by one: Xie Yue, Yan, Hu Liena, and Huo Wu, among others.

The Gui Mei continued to record frantically, filling page after page of notes.

After listening, Qian Xunji exclaimed, "It truly is an era of great strife! I never imagined there were so many geniuses in Tang San's time."

Lin Fan agreed, "If Tang San and the others hadn't eaten the Immortal Herb, apart from Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, the others would seem rather insignificant compared to these geniuses."

"Therefore, if Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian are to gain the approval of the Sea God's Heart, the chances will be even higher if they consume the Immortal Herb."

"Oh, and there's Hu Liena. Her Martial Soul, the Demon Fox, specializes in mental cultivation. I don't know about her physical constitution, but her Mental Power is definitely stronger than others at the same cultivation level."

Yue Guan asked, "Lin Fan, you've mentioned the Heaven Dou Empire, but what about the Star Luo Empire?"

Lin Fan said, "The Star Luo Empire Heaven Dou Empire isn't actually described very much in the novel. It's mainly the Heaven Dou Empire that gets more attention because Tang San is on their side."

"However, the numbers on both sides should be about the same. There might be fewer geniuses than in the Heaven Dou Empire, but not by much. After all, there aren't many at the maximum level of Innate Soul Power at level nine."

Qian Xunji nodded and said, "Indeed, after the Sea God's Heart is recognized, what are the Divine Position Nine Trials for the Sea God's divine position?"

Lin Fan explained, "If it's Tang San's version, I understand. But if it's someone else, besides the fixed few tests, the other tests might vary from person to person."

Qian Xunji said, "Then tell me about the fixed assessments."

Lin Fan said, "The First Trial is crossing the Sea God's Light, which is unavoidable; it tests your will and physique. The next step is the Tidal Body Tempering to strengthen your body, followed by the challenge of the Seven Sacred Pillars, and then the challenge of the Grand Worshipper."

"And pulling out the Sea God Trident is also unavoidable, as is cultivating to the Titled Douluo level, that's about it."

Bibi Dong asked, "Lin Fan, please explain this assessment in detail. I'm quite curious about how the Deity assess their successors."

Lin Fan nodded. "Okay, then I'll explain in more detail."

Next, Lin Fan spent some more time carefully analyzing the content of the Divine Trial.

Soon, with Lin Fan's explanation, it was afternoon.

"Upon cultivating to the level 99 Titled Douluo and receiving the Ninth Trial the Sea God Godhood Position, one can condense the tenth Soul Ring, symbolizing Deity. This Soul Ring is typically Golden Soul Ring that has reached a million years of age and is known as the God Ring."

"However, the colors of the Soul Ring vary depending on the attributes of the Deity. For example, the Sea God's is blue-gold, the Asura God's is red-gold, Qian Renxue's Angel God's is brilliant gold, and Bibi Dong's Rakshasa God's is purple-gold. These are all collectively referred to as God Ring."

That's roughly it.

Qian Xunji sighed, "A golden God Ring, millions of years... it sounds so distant."

Bibi Dong nodded in agreement, "Yes, it sounds incredibly difficult to become a god at level 100."

Yue Guan said, "Alright, it's time for lunch. Lin Fan also needs to continue resting. He's been talking all morning; he should rest after lunch."

Qian Xunji nodded and said, "Alright, Lin Fan, let's go back first. Dong'er, go get the food."

Lin Fan smiled and waved, saying, "Everyone, let's chat another day."

Qian Xunji led everyone away.
