The First Trial of Sea God was not difficult for many people; some had already succeeded in just one day, which led many others to climb the steps and begin their own tests.

Of course, some people failed, but everyone could see that all those who failed the First Trial were simply too poor in aptitude; in the Douluo Continent, they would be like dust.

Of course, passing the First Trial doesn't necessarily mean you have good aptitude. If the test level is low, your aptitude won't be much better either.

Those with superior aptitude are assessed at around level 150, while those like Wang Feng, who reached level 333 in just a few days, are extremely rare.

In one day, Wang Feng successfully climbed to the Level 100 step, but he found it difficult to continue upwards because his Soul Power was almost completely exhausted.

He had to sit down and rest, while most people chose to rest where they were, and only a few continued climbing.

However, the consequences for them were also obvious. Forcing their way up when their Soul Power was clearly insufficient would likely result in them being blasted off the steps.

The next morning, Wang Feng was the first to get up and step onto the 101st step.

The moment he stepped onto it, an incredibly violent force instantly pressed down on him, and the gravity he experienced was more than twice as terrifying as that of Qian Baiji.

Although his face showed no change, he was inwardly shocked.

But he quickly adapted to the energy and soon took his second step.

As he stepped onto the 110th step, the others got up and continued climbing. They thought it wouldn't be difficult for Wang Feng, but they only realized how terrifying it was once they actually stepped onto it.

This was clearly a deliberate attempt to prevent them from succeeding, but there was no other way but to grit their teeth and continue.

But starting from the 101st step, everyone gradually began to sense the difference here.

The gravity received by the first 100 steps is the same, but from the 101st step onwards, the gravity on each step increases, but the increase is so small that it is ignored.

But after a day, they had all felt the terrifying gravity.

Two days passed, and some people finally completed the assessment, while others ultimately failed.

When the last person besides Wang Feng completed the task, everyone looked at the last figure on the steps, their eyes filled with shock.

"What's going on? His assessment isn't over yet. How many more levels does he have to climb?"

"How is this possible? Isn't it level 150? Isn't this the top level?"

"It's been a whole day, and he hasn't rested for a single moment!"

Looking at Wang Feng, who was still climbing upwards, everyone felt incredulous.

At this moment, Wang Feng was only ten steps away from the two Level 100 step, but Wang Feng hesitated to move even for those ten steps.

At this moment, the gravity he was experiencing was almost beyond his limit. If he took another step, he would definitely fail, so he dared not take that step.

Finally, Wang Feng sat down to rest, which made everyone unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

If Wang Feng were to reach level 200 in one go, it would be a huge blow to them.

Even so, Wang Feng's level 190 quest was still not over, making everyone realize the gap between them and Wang Feng.

Some left, while others remained, waiting for Wang Feng's final outcome.

The next morning, Wang Feng started climbing again and quickly reached the 200th step, but he failed to reach the 201st step.

After staying for an hour, Wang Feng stepped out again, and as he expected, the gravity he experienced changed dramatically with every hundred steps.

It took Wang Feng a full hour to finally get used to it.

He stepped forward again, each step steady and deliberate.

As night fell, Wang Feng meditated and rested once more.

Although these steps are difficult to climb, the benefits are also significant. The suppression of gravity consumes a great deal of Soul Power, but the speed at which Soul Power is absorbed is also much faster.

In the past few days, Wang Feng's Soul Power Level has increased by two levels.

With his aptitude, his speed of absorbing Soul Power would naturally be fast, but as his level increases, the amount of Soul Power stored in his body will naturally increase exponentially.

Under such circumstances, the same absorption rate will naturally appear much slower depending on the capacity.

However, during the past few days of climbing the steps, Wang Feng found that his absorption rate was almost unchanged from before.

This time, Wang Feng absorbed the nutrients for two whole days before opening his eyes and getting up again.

At this point, there were far fewer people standing at the bottom of the steps; many had left one after another.

For them, Wang Feng's level was something they could never reach in several lifetimes. Since they couldn't reach it, they might as well focus on completing their own assessments.

It took Wang Feng seven whole days to finally reach the Level 100 step. This would be a new challenge, and even Wang Feng dared not relax or be careless in the slightest.

After meditating for another three days, Wang Feng finally set off.

When he stepped onto the 301st step, the terrifying pressure he felt was beyond his imagination.

His whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

For a moment, he even doubted whether he could really complete the assessment, after all, this was only the first step on the third step, and he still had thirty-two steps to go.

But he couldn't find a reason to give up, so he could only forge ahead.

As he readjusted to the force of gravity, he moved forward again, his eyes sharp.

The seven Titled Douluo who had been secretly observing Wang Feng each had their own thoughts, but no matter what they were thinking, there was a hint of admiration for Wang Feng deep in their eyes.

As Titled Douluo, their experiences were naturally far beyond what Wang Feng could have imagined, but the fact that Wang Feng possessed such a temperament at such a young age was truly admirable.

If it weren't for the high priest's order, they would have even hoped that Wang Feng could pass the test.

Meanwhile, the high priest Bo Saixi, who was in the main hall, also frowned, staring at Wang Feng with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in his heart.

With Wang Feng's qualifications, it's not surprising that he could undergo the Sea God's Nine Trials. In fact, he is very likely to complete all nine trials and successfully inherit the Sea God Godhood.

Bo Saixi didn't understand why the Sea God wouldn't allow Wang Feng to succeed, but Bo Saixi was certain of one thing: if Wang Feng's future would affect some important matters, then preventing Wang Feng from passing the Sea God's Nine Trials was absolutely necessary.

After a long while, as night fell, seeing Wang Feng standing on the 310th step, Bo Saixi stopped looking and slowly closed her eyes.

She knew very well that with Wang Feng's abilities, now that he had come this far, this First Trial would not be difficult for Wang Feng; it was just a matter of time.

Just as Bo Saixi had predicted, a month later, Wang Feng finally arrived at the last step.
