The voice that echoed in Lin Mo's mind was still the same as before.
" The Fifth Trial Top Level Eight Trials, challenging the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, has been passed!"
"The examinee has exceeded the assessment target; the reward is tripled, and the age of all Soul Ring is increased by 21,000!"
The authoritative voice echoed in his mind, and Lin Mo had a strange feeling that this time, in addition to being routine, the voice seemed to carry a hint of approval.
But besides that sentence, another sentence echoed in his mind.
"The sixth, seventh, and Eighth Trial of the Top Level Eight Trials are considered completed, and the rewards are cumulative. They will be distributed uniformly after Dugu Yan completes the Seventh Trial the Sea God's Nine Trials."
After defeating Bo Saixi, his Top Level Eight Trials can be considered complete, except that Dugu Yan's current Seventh Trial of the Sea God's Nine Trials is not yet finished.
The rewards for the sixth, seventh, and eighth assessments are currently stacked, and the Top Level Eight Trials will only be truly completed after he assists Dugu Yan in completing the Seventh Trial.
Upon hearing the reward, Lin Mo couldn't help but click his tongue. The reward was indeed quite good, and it was worth revealing so many of his trump cards in his battle against Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi.
With the Soul Ring's age increased to 21,000 years, the reward for this Fifth Trial alone was more than the combined rewards for the previous four trials.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo subconsciously glanced at the Charizard that had already been separated.
Charizard was lying to one side, its tail swaying gently, its blue eyes still filled with the excitement of battle.
The Sixth Soul Ring of its eight Soul Ring had undergone a transformation as a reward for its cultivation, earned through the 20,000-year Soul Ring upgrade during the Fifth Trial.
The Soul Ring that was originally as black as ink has now turned into a rich blood red, complementing the seventh and eighth Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
The Sixth Soul Ring was directly upgraded to a new Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
The Soul Ring under Charizard's feet have now changed to five black and three red.
Five black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and three red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring —such a configuration would be considered luxurious for any Titled Douluo.
Lin Mo withdrew his gaze and let out a long breath. He raised his hand and touched the Charizard's head. The Charizard growled and rubbed its head against his hand.
Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, seemed to have foreseen this scene. After a moment of realization, he accepted the fact that he had been defeated by Lin Mo.
She stood in the center of the field, her red robe fluttering gently in the sea breeze, her long, azure hair flowing down her back, and the golden scepter in her hand still radiating a faint glow.
Those deep eyes looked at Lin Mo. There was no anger or unwillingness in them, only emotion.
She had seen countless geniuses in her life, but she had never seen a prodigy like Lin Mo.
In her mind, it was simply impossible for Level 89 Soul Douluo to defeat Level 99 Peak Douluo.
But Lin Mo did it.
Moreover, it was a direct and forceful attack, without any shortcuts or wishful thinking.
However, the Sea Dragon Douluo and other Sacred Pillar Guardian Douluo who came to watch the match witnessed the Sea God Douluo's defeat, which began to have some impact on their worldview.
Sea Dragon Douluo stood at the very front, his resolute face filled with disbelief. His lips moved a few times, but no sound came out.
Sea Horse Douluo Ou Ya was completely stunned, his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly agape, as if he had been petrified.
The Sea Witch stopped slapping the water with her fishtail, her large, sky-blue eyes filled with shock, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover her mouth.
The four Sea Ghost Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, Sea Illusion Douluo, and Sea Star Douluo were all stunned in place, their expressions different, but their eyes all filled with the same shock.
Before this, Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, was seen by them as a symbol of god and an invincible myth.
But now, even God has been defeated!
He was defeated by a young man in his early twenties, a young man who wasn't even Titled Douluo.
Unlike the low spirits of Sea God Douluo and his group, Dugu Yan and her companions erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
Shui Yue'er was the first to jump up, raising her hands high, her face full of excitement, and letting out a crisp cheer.
" Lin Mo won! Lin Mo won!" She turned around and hugged Shui Bing'er, hanging her whole body on her sister. Shui Bing'er was a little unsteady from being shaken, but there was a smile on her lips.
Shui Bing'er reached out and supported her younger sister's waist, saying softly, "Alright, alright, stop shaking me, I saw it."
Huo Wu crossed her arms and smiled slightly, but the light in her eyes betrayed her excitement.
She took a deep breath to suppress the surging emotions within her, but her heart was still beating fast.
Feng Xiaotian froze on the spot, and it took him a long time to come to his senses before he murmured, "The Sect Master won... the Sect Master really won..."
Zhu Zhuqing stood at the edge of the crowd, a strange light flashing in her clear, cold eyes, her fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes.
This scene also greatly exceeded their expectations.
They had no doubt that Lin Mo could pass the Fifth Trial.
But Lin Mo's act of revealing several trump cards in succession to defeat Bo Saixi still brought them a surprise that felt like a blow to the head.
The same thought immediately flashed through the minds of Feng Xiaotian other four: Sect Master, are you really not using cheats?
With his level 89 Soul Douluo cultivation, he actually defeated Poseidon, a peak Douluo who had been famous for many years.
This was completely beyond their understanding of what a normal Soul Master should be.
Shui Yue'er jumped off her sister, ran to Dugu Yan's side, grabbed her arm, and shook it. " Sister Yanyan, did you see that? Lin Mo won! He beat the Sea God Douluo!"
Dugu Yan smiled and gently flicked her forehead, "Of course I saw it, I'm not blind."
Shui Yue'er stuck out her tongue, didn't dodge, and just chuckled foolishly.
Ye Lingling stood beside Dugu Yan, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo stood there calmly, the sea breeze ruffling his clothes and the stray hairs on his forehead.
Everything felt so natural.
Before they could continue to be shocked by this scene, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Feng Xiaotian, the three Black Level Six Trials, suddenly heard that familiar voice in their minds the moment Lin Mo passed the Fifth Trial.
" Sixth Trial passed, Black Level Six Trials completed."
"With extraordinary Guts and tireless efforts, they overcame numerous difficulties and completed all assessments."
"Special reward: Black Level access to Sea God Island, two-level increase in Soul Power, and a God-Given Soul Ring."
The majestic voice echoed in their minds, and as the voice faded, the marks on their foreheads shattered, turning into specks of black light that dissipated into the air.
The black light coalesced before them, transforming into a dazzling golden bead that floated in their palms.
The golden bead was crystal clear, with a faint halo flowing across its surface, and a layer of golden mist constantly undulating within it.
God-Given Soul Ring.
The three of them were stunned. For a moment, they stared blankly at the God-Given Soul Ring in their hands, their gazes involuntarily shifting back and forth between Lin Mo and Bo Saixi in the distance.
Although they still don't understand what exactly happened that caused them to pass the Sixth Trial ahead of schedule, it must be closely related to Lin Mo's victory over the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi.
Huo Wu gripped the golden bead in her hand, feeling the immense energy contained within it, and her heart began to beat faster.
Her Soul Power Level has jumped from level 78 to level 80, and she only needs to absorb Soul Ring to become Soul Douluo.
Now the Soul Ring have arrived!
Shui Bing'er looked down at the God-Given Soul Ring in her palm, a look of joy flashing in her purple eyes. Her Soul Power had also increased by two levels, reaching the bottleneck of level eighty.
Feng Xiaotian grinned from ear to ear. This God-Given Soul Ring had come at the perfect time, and the extra two levels of Soul Power meant that his cultivation would be guaranteed to reach level Level 83 after absorbing the Eighth Soul Ring.
This brought him one step closer to his long-cherished goal of becoming Titled Douluo.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both frowned slightly.
The same voice as Lin Mo echoed in Ye Lingling's mind.
"The sixth, seventh, and Eighth Trial Top Level Eight Trials are considered as completed, and the rewards are stacked. They will be distributed uniformly after Dugu Yan completes the Seventh Trial of the Sea God's Nine Trials."
But another voice echoed in Dugu Yan's mind.
" Sixth Trial the Sea God's Nine Trials, passed. Reward: Sea God Affinity increased by 15%."
"Currently, the overall affinity is 75%."
The golden trident mark between Dugu Yan's eyebrows was slightly warm, and she could feel a warm power flowing into her body, merging more closely with her body.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Huo Wu blinked, looked at the God-Given Soul Ring in her hand, then at the still-shimmering golden mark between Dugu Yan's brows, and couldn't help but ask:
"What's going on? Why is our assessment already considered complete?"
"Is it because the High Priest said that if we can defeat her, the test will be considered completely completed?"
But Lin Mo was the only one who managed to defeat her...
Feng Xiaotian scratched his head, looking bewildered. "I don't know either, but anyway, I passed the test, which is a good thing!"
He chuckled, unable to stop smiling.
Before they could even communicate and try to find the reason behind it, Bo Saixi, who was far away on the other side, had already dispelled the Martial Soul Possession.
The azure light faded from her body, and the enormous Sea God Phantom slowly dissipated, merging back into her body.
The trident in his hand transformed into a scepter once more, its golden blade gleaming under the Sea God's Light.
Bo Saixi tapped the ground lightly, and the sound rang in everyone's ears.
"Come on over, everyone."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
The crowd arrived as agreed. Although Bo Saixi had lost, their reverence for the high priest remained undiminished.
The seven Sea Dragon Douluo quickly walked behind Bo Saixi, stood with their hands at their sides, and looked respectful, but their eyes kept falling on Lin Mo, their eyes full of complicated emotions.
Feng Xiaotian and the others also came over and stood behind Lin Mo.
The mystique surrounding a peak Peak Douluo -level powerhouse in their minds diminished considerably after Lin Mo Sheer Force shattered it with his absolute strength.
But Bo Saixi is, after all, the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Peerless Douluo of Level 99. Her strength and status still deserve our respect.
Huo Wu stood behind Lin Mo, her gaze fixed on Bo Saixi, a complex emotion welling up within her.
She once thought that the Titled Douluo was the end of Soul Master's cultivation, and that the Level 99 Peak Douluo was an existence that was even more unattainable.
But Lin Mo is now telling her that these things can be Transcendence.
Bo Saixi cleared her throat, her gaze sweeping over everyone, and slowly said, "Isn't it good? Why were you all automatically considered to have passed the test?"
Everyone nodded obediently.
Shui Yue'er nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Bo Saixi, waiting for her explanation.
Bo Saixi glanced at Lin Mo, Lin Mo feigned innocence, shrugged, and looked like he didn't know what was going on either.
Bo Saixi withdrew her gaze, sighed softly, and continued, "You should all be considered to have completed your Sixth Trial, right?"
Everyone nodded again.
Feng Xiaotian raised the golden bead in his hand, shook it, and his face showed undisguised joy.
Bo Saixi continued, "The reason is quite simple. Your original Sixth Trial was that I, leading the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo, Beat Up you using only the first six of your Soul Ring. If you could hold out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you would pass."
At this point, Bo Saixi glanced at Lin Mo again, a hint of helplessness in her voice. "But this kid's strength has exceeded expectations. Even I didn't expect him to be this strong..."
At this point, Bo Saixi's tone suddenly turned somewhat melancholy. Although she prided herself on having long since become indifferent to victory and defeat, when she actually lost to a mere twenty-something kid, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss for a moment.
In her understanding, it was simply impossible for Level 89 Soul Douluo to defeat Level 99 Peak Douluo.
But Lin Mo did it.
Not to mention, Lin Mo, with his extremely formidable strength, directly caused her plan, which she was still hesitating about, to be aborted.
Bo Saixi sighed again and said, "Now you know why, right? Because continuing with the assessment is pointless."
Everyone nodded.
After Lin Mo defeated Bo Saixi with his full strength, not to mention Bo Saixi using only her first six Soul Ring, even if she went all out and brought the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo, they couldn't stop them from passing the Sixth Trial.
In other words, the existence of the Sixth Trial is no longer meaningful.
Let's go to two sides, the other side.
The Divine Realm, the Sea God Palace.
The magnificent palace stands tall in the clouds, golden light streaming down from the dome, illuminating the entire hall in a dazzling glow.
The First Generation Sea God Poseidon, who was located here, was swirling the wine in his cup, watching the scene presented in the water curtain in front of him with the person beside him who had been teasing him about being a gloomy man.
Poseidon leaned back on his throne, legs crossed, gently swirling the wine glass in his hand, the red liquid rippling within.
The man beside him was completely enveloped in dark red magic runes, surrounded by a dark red light. He wore armor covered in dark red magic runes and had a pair of blood-red eyes.
Asura God.
The scene in the water curtain in front of the two ended precisely at the moment Lin Mo used the Spacial Rend, preparing to end the battle.
Judging from the faint glow of divine power emanating from Poseidon's hand, which had not yet been extinguished, it was he who had used his divine power to save the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi in time.
Poseidon took a sip of his wine and exclaimed, "Even I was wrong about this kid; I never expected him to be so incredibly powerful."
Even back then, if I were at the same level as him, I probably wouldn't have been his match!
Asura, who had been quite sullen beside him, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Poseidon upon hearing this and bluntly said:
"Stop trying to glorify yourself."
"How strong could you be when you're at the same cultivation level as him? At most, you'd be equivalent to a level 96 or 97 Titled Douluo in the Douluo Continent."
"This kid directly defeated your priest; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's now at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent."
"Once his cultivation breaks through to the ninth ring and he begins to add Soul Ring to his Second Martial Soul, he will likely become the number one person below the gods in the true sense!"
The voice of the Asura God echoed in the hall, carrying a hint of approval that even he himself did not Frisk.
Upon hearing this, the Sea God, who was quite pleased, chuckled and said, "It's alright, it's alright, I've already come to terms with it."
He waved his hand, picked up his glass, took another sip, and his face was full of...
"Although I failed to catch this kid inheriting my Sea God Godhood, the one who inherits the Godhood is his little girlfriend. How could he not help?"
He paused, a sly glint in his eyes.
"Besides, all the help I've given this kid has been worthwhile. I've given him whatever he wants, and I haven't shortchanged him in terms of performance reviews and rewards."
If he really doesn't help, that would be really unreasonable...
Hearing the Sea God's words, Asura rolled his eyes at him again.
Seeing this, the Sea God explained, "As the God Realm Enforcer, you have seen all these things. I have not violated any rules."
He sat up straight, his expression turned serious, and his tone carried a hint of self-righteousness.
"All the rewards I bestowed were within the bounds of the rules of the Divine Realm. The rewards that kid received were all earned through his own strength!"
"There's nothing wrong with this!"
Asura nodded but did not reply.
His gaze fell on the young figure on the water screen, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
Poseidon breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was eager to get rid of his Godhood and run away, he couldn't do so at the expense of violating the rules of the Divine Realm.
Even as First-Level Main God in the Divine Realm, he did not want to bear the consequences of violating the rules of the Divine Realm.
Although Poseidon did not continue to ridicule Asura, he couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.
"This kid is quite suitable to inherit your Godhood!"
"That kid's Self-Created Soul Skill, which displayed an astonishing aura earlier, is quite compatible with your Godhood."
"Not to mention, his Second Martial Soul hasn't even been equipped with Soul Ring yet. I guess the Martial Soul Avatar of his extremely special Martial Soul should be very similar to the demonic statue he showed earlier."
As Poseidon spoke, he observed the reaction of the Asura God.
The Asura God's expression grew even more somber, a flicker of emotion flashing in his blood-red eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
We'll see.
Asura took a deep breath, deciding not to pay any more attention to this idiot who was repeatedly dancing on his landmines.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist beating up this idiot.
Asura stood up, his dark red armor gleaming with a cold, eerie luster in the golden light.
He began to secretly make a decision in his heart:
If Lin Mo goes to the Slaughter City again, or makes contact with Tang Chen, who has no chance of passing the Asura Nine Trials.
He took direct action and, within the bounds of the rules, forcibly placed the Godhood Sheer Force into Lin Mo's hands!
At that point, Lin Mo will either want it or not.
This doesn't count as violating the rules.
Asura thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Asura turned and left, his figure gradually dissipating into the air, leaving only a dark red afterimage.
Poseidon looked in the direction where Asura disappeared, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Quite fast."
He murmured, a smile flashing in his eyes.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Sea God Island, Dugu Yan, who had received her Seventh Trial from Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, which would begin in seven days, read out the contents of her trial to everyone, word by word.
She stood on the open ground at the foot of Sea God Mountain, the golden trident mark between her brows slightly warm, emitting a faint glow.
Her voice was clear, each word spoken with solemnity.
" Sea God's Nine Trials, Seventh Trial: Divine Weapon, Draw out Sea God's Trident!"
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
Hearing this, everyone was still shocked, but because they had been somewhat prepared beforehand, it wasn't too hard for them to accept.
After all, the Sea God's Nine Trials, as they understood them, were tests that the Sea God had set down to select his successor, so it was reasonable for the test of pulling out a divine weapon to be included.
However, Shui Yue'er couldn't help but ask, " Sister Yanyan, a divine artifact, a divine artifact, could this really be a weapon of the gods?"
Her eyes were sparkling, her face was full of joy, and she leaned close to Dugu Yan's chest, almost touching him.
Lin Mo reached out and ruffled Shui Yue'er's hair, then shoved her back without any politeness.
Shui Yue'er cried out "Ouch!" and took two steps back, rubbing her disheveled hair with her hands, giving Lin Mo a disgruntled glare.
Lin Mo said irritably, "I told you to read more books, but you never do. There are plenty of records about the Sea God on Sea God Island."
"If you pay even a little attention, you'll realize that this so-called trident of the Sea God should be a divine artifact left behind by the First Generation Sea God, Poseidon, and exclusively belonging to the Sea God."
"Its name is: The Golden Trident!"
"When Poseidon became a god, he fused his energy with his own to form a divine armor, and transformed his Martial Soul into the Sea God Trident as his weapon."
"Of course, it's more appropriate to call it the Sea God Trident than the Golden Trident!"
At this point, Lin Mo looked at everyone and said, "Let's go back and rest for a few days. Before the Seventh Trial officially begins, the three of you can start trying to absorb your Eighth Soul Ring."
His gaze fell on Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er Feng Xiaotian.
Each of the three held a golden, God-Given Soul Ring bead in their hand, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.
They're about to become Soul Douluo!
