Let my death pave the way for Teacher!

Bo Saixi appeared before the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, looking at Tang San and Ling Han in disbelief.

Both of them had a golden trident mark on their foreheads, a testament to the Sea God Nine Trials!

"That's wonderful, teacher! You've also Sea God Nine Trials!"

Unlike Tang San's joy, Ling Han and Bo Saixi both had solemn expressions.

Two Sea God Nine Trials, but there can only be one Sea God Godhood!

In other words, regardless of whether the assessment succeeds or fails, at least one of the master and apprentice will die because they cannot complete the assessment.

Seeing Ling Han remain silent, Tang San sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong, teacher?"

Ling Han sighed and told Tang San the cruel truth.

Although we don't know why the Sea God made this arrangement, it is the truth.

Tang San's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he fell silent.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Teacher, I voluntarily give up the assessment!"

Ling Han was taken aback, then shook his head. "No, Xiao San, there's another way!"

Ling Han had been thinking of other ways. If he could Self-Created Godhood and become a god before the Ninth Trial, perhaps he could solve this problem.

Tang San shook his head. "Teacher, there's no other way. This is a test from God, and it's extremely important."

"Teacher, the happiest thing in Xiao San life is meeting you and becoming your student. Xiao San am already content."

"Xiao Wu, after I die, you must take good care of yourself and cultivate diligently with your teacher, okay?"

Xiao Wu was already in tears. She couldn't accept that she had come to Sea God Island for training, but it had come to the point of life and death.

Hearing Tang San's words, Ling Han felt quite uncomfortable.

"There must be another way!" Ling Han thought anxiously.

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu one last time, then at Ling Han, before reaching out and pointing to the spot between his eyebrows where the mark was.

"Let my death fulfill my teacher's wish!"

Goodbye, teacher; goodbye, Xiao Wu; my love!

The next moment, the mark of the Sea God Nine Trials shattered.

Tang San closed his eyes, quietly awaiting the arrival of divine punishment.

But divine punishment did not descend; instead, a voice rang out. "Hahaha, as expected of the person I chose, you have indeed not disappointed me!"

Two figures appeared before the crowd.

"Lord Sea God!" Bo Saixi knelt on one knee and exclaimed in surprise.

The two figures were the divine thoughts of the Sea God and the Asura God.

The Asura God patted Tang San on the shoulder. "You're not bad, kid. I'm very satisfied!"

Tang San was somewhat confused, but his survival gave him a feeling of having escaped a calamity.

Seeing this, Ling Han seemed to understand something.

Sea God walked up to Ling Han and smiled, "I'm sorry to have worried you. This was something I didn't consider carefully."

It turns out that all of this was a temporary arrangement by the Sea God and the Asura God.

Tang San possessed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and, coupled with his sufficient talent, triggered the Sea God Nine Trials.

But Ling Han's talent captivated the Sea God even more.

In addition, Tang San also possessed the inheritance of the Asura God, so the Asura God discussed with the Sea God and planned this scheme.

Test Tang San with his life or death.

Now, the result is good.

Tang San received the Asura Nine Trials, Ling Han received the Sea God Nine Trials.

After learning the whole story, Xiao Wu threw herself into Tang San and burst into tears.

The Asura God pointed a finger at Tang San's forehead, and a red sword-shaped mark appeared.

"Alright, Sea God and I will be leaving now. You guys prepare well for the assessment and don't let us down!"

Just as the two gods were about to leave, Ling Han called out to the Sea God.

"Senior Sea God, please wait!"

The Asura God went ahead, while the Sea God stopped.

"What's wrong, Ling Han?"

After receiving the Sea God Nine Trials, Ling Han had a bold idea in his mind.

Originally, he planned to create his own godhood, at least at the level of God King, but now he has a better option.

Ling Han plans to use the Sea God Godhood as a foundation, and then Self-Created Godhood based on that foundation.

With the Sea God First-Level God a foundation, creating a God King level or even a higher-level God-King would be much easier.

Ling Han told the Sea God about his idea, hoping to get the Sea God's approval.

After hearing Ling Han's idea, the Sea God laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you have ambition! I might not believe it if it were anyone else, but you're different. You've already reached the Limit Douluo at your age, and your physical body has even stepped into the god level. Your future is limitless. A First-Level God is indeed beneath you. I agree. Go ahead and do it!"

Ling Han was overjoyed. "Thank you, Senior Sea God!"

The Sea God waved his hand. "No need to be so polite. If you can advance further from your Sea God Godhood position, I will also be proud!"

Then, the Sea God's divine sense also departed.

Ling Han breathed a sigh of relief; this was a happy ending for everyone.

"That's great, teacher! Now you and your senior brother can both become gods!" Shui Bing'er said happily.

Ling Han nodded. "Don't worry, Bing'er, now that you've become my disciple, I won't leave you behind on the path to godhood."

Shui Bing'er was deeply moved upon hearing this, and a smile with tears in her eyes immediately appeared on her face.

Sea Horse Douluo's posture at this moment was as respectful as could be.

According to what the Sea God's divine thought just now said, the white-haired youth in front of them was actually a powerful figure whose cultivation level was on par with the High Priest.

Furthermore, he seems to surpass the High Priest in strength.

Now that he has received the Sea God Nine Trials, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the most noble and powerful person on the entire Sea God Island.

"Alright, let's take a look at the First Trial now."

With time running out and the task heavy, Ling Han planned to complete the Sea God Nine Trials as quickly as possible.

The Asura God was too lazy to set up a new testing ground for Tang San, so he borrowed Sea God Island and used it as Asura God Trial for Tang San.

Therefore, Tang San's First Trial Asura God was also climbing stairs.

Unlike the First Trial of the Sea God Nine Trials, when Tang San climbed the stairs, what shone on him was not the Sea God's Light, but the Asura's Light.

Tang San needs to climb five hundred steps while enduring the erosion of his mind by murderous intent and immense pressure.

Compared to the First Trial of the Sea God Nine Trials in the original novel, this trial is several times more difficult, which is probably due to Tang San's current cultivation level.

Correspondingly, the First Trial of the Sea God Nine Trials that Ling Han had to undergo was even more terrifying than the First Trial the Asura Nine Trials that Tang San had to undergo.

The First Trial Ling Han's Sea God Nine Trials was to climb to the top of the Sea God Hall, which meant climbing all the steps in the Sea God Hall.

Actually, it makes no difference to Ling Han how many steps he climbs now.

The Sea God's Light is essentially designed to help test takers hone their physical abilities.

Now that Ling Han possesses a god-level body, the Sea God's Light has little effect on him.

The number of steps the other individuals needed to climb was the same as the corresponding test in the original work.

"Come on, kids, try and see where your limits are."

After saying that, Ling Han took the lead and stepped onto the stairs.

When we first stepped onto the stairs, no one felt any pressure; everyone felt very relaxed.

Even the killing intent that Tang San sensed was extremely weak.
