One Yellow, Four Black, Two Red, One Gold

The yellow light rose only halfway up the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.

A diamond-shaped mark settled on Bai Chenxiang's forehead, then sank into her skin. She closed her eyes and soon saw the contents of her trial.

"Yellow Rank First Trial: pass through the Sea God's Light and climb the Thirty-Six Steps. Time limit: one year."

When Bai Chenxiang opened her eyes, she instinctively looked back at the Shrek group. She was only level forty-five, one or two Spirit Rings behind the Shrek Seven Monsters. But with the difference laid out in the starkest possible color, she still clenched her hands.

Sea Horse Douluo said, "A yellow assessment is already considered intermediate on this island. You specialize in pure speed, and your body and Soul Power foundation are weaker than those of other Agility Attack Soul Masters at your level. The Thirty-Six Steps won't be easy."

Ma Hongjun stood beside her and reached out to touch the Sacred Pillar. "Yellow looks pretty good. If I get Yellow Level too, we can train together."

"Worry about yourself first." Bai Chenxiang moved aside.

She did not ask whether she could be tested again, nor did she hide the mark on her forehead. After carrying out missions with the Agility Hall, she had long known that being fast did not mean being strong in a head-on fight. The yellow assessment put that gap before her eyes. It stung, but at least it gave her a path she could walk on her own.

Ma Hongjun pressed his hand against the pillar.

The Sacred Pillar's light swiftly climbed from white to yellow, then turned purple the next instant. The purple light passed several markers in succession before becoming a deep black. Six black rays descended from the top of the pillar, forming a Hexagram Mark
