Su Ling knew nothing of the changes on Sea God Island, nor had the Sea God sent him any separate message.
For the past few days, Su Ling had flown across the ocean at full speed. He wanted to see the Sun Moon Continent, making his trip to the Douluo Continent worthwhile.
After Shui Bing'er finished speaking, everyone understood. There was another contender in her trial. Passing the nine trials would not necessarily make her the Sea God; she also needed to defeat her rival.
"Bing'er!"
"Sister Bing'er!"
"Who cares what kind of contender he is? We're all behind you. Beat him!" Naturally, all the goddesses around Su Ling supported Shui Bing'er.
"All right!" Shui Bing'er nodded. Their support gave her some confidence, but most of her confidence still came from Su Ling.
With Su Ling beside her, her heart felt steady, as though she could overcome any obstacle.

"Yes, and this Tang San actually went to your Sea God Island to train."
"But on the continent, I've already had another successor begin her trials. Now... I've assigned her the Asura Nine Trials," the Asura God said smugly.
"Oh... the Asura Nine Trials? Have you given up on Tang San, then?" the Sea God asked.
The Asura God shook his head. "Not exactly. It depends on whether he can defeat the successor you chose earlier. If he loses, he isn't qualified to inherit from me either."
"You..."
"Fine.
