As the rewards for the second test appeared, the questions for the third test were already in everyone's minds.
Yan asked in confusion, "Tidal Body Refinement? The content of the third test is the same as what the boss said. But how do we get double the rewards!"
Yan has already tasted the sweetness of success.
If I profit and the customer doesn't, then the customer will not stay.
If my profit is large and the customer's profit is small, then the customer will not stay long.
If the customer profits while I profit, and the skin is gone, where will the fur attach?
If the benefits to both the customer and myself are roughly equal, then the customer will stay for a long time, and I will benefit for a long time, thus achieving a win-win situation.
Yan has already reaped many benefits under Tuoba Yan's leadership.
The God of Slaughter Domain, the Sea God's Trial, the God-given Soul Ring—it's like a system gift that directly boosts your soul power level.
All these benefits have made Yan even more dependent on Tuoba Yan.
Now, Yan is not just thinking about how to complete the assessment, but how to get double the reward.
It's not Yan's fault.
Yan's soul power level is currently over sixty. If he were to engage in arduous training, he could only increase his soul power by two or three levels at most per year. The later the stage of cultivation, the more difficult it becomes to increase soul power.
Not to mention that completing the assessment increases combat power, completing the assessment also instantly boosts soul power.
Which Soul Master wouldn't want such benefits?
If there's no benefit to be gained, Yan will turn around and leave, not wasting time on Tuoba Yan.
This is only human nature.
After gaining benefits, Yan probably didn't even realize that he had become very dependent on Tuoba Yan.
"Soon you will understand the meaning of Tidal Body Refinement. Follow me." Just as the leisurely voice rang out, Bo Saixi, dressed in red, seemed to walk out of the void.
After saying this, Bo Saixi turned and walked in the opposite direction from Sea God Mountain. Tuoba Yan and the others followed behind him. They traversed forests, climbed hills, and crossed waterways surrounding other inland seas, finally arriving at a mountain peak several hundred meters high.
The mountain is formed entirely of rock, barren of vegetation, and completely black.
After climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see a valley that is sunken inward on the side facing the sea.
When the distant waves reached 300 meters from the mouth of the valley, they were affected by some mysterious force and quickly rose to a height of 100 meters.
A hundred-meter-high wave, with astonishing force, invaded the valley and crashed against the hard rock walls.
"This is where you will take your third test. This place is called the Angry Wave Desolation."
As Bo Saixi spoke, she stretched out his hand and waved it, sending down a beam of blue light.
Below, the area of turbulent waves was calm, like a stagnant pool.
"rise!"
Bo Saixi beckoned her finger upwards.
"Boom!"
The mountain peaks experienced slight tremors.
A dozen or so gray, sunken silver pillars rose from the valley below. Each pillar was surrounded by gray rings. They continued rising until they were fifty meters above the waves before stopping.
"This thing is called the Silver Pillar. You will climb up it and use the rings to secure your bodies. This will prevent your bodies from being swept away by the waves!"
"I will stay here with you during the assessment. If anyone can't hold on, they can ask for help."
"Those who pass the Black Level Five Examination need to persevere on the Silver Pillar for three hours every day."
"The sixth examinee will have four hours, the seventh examinee five hours. As for you, Zi Zhenzhu, you are the ninth examinee of the Sea God, and your time will be twelve hours. Do you understand?"
As soon as Bo Saixi finished speaking, Xie Yue pointed to the sunken silver pillar below and asked, "Senior, are there any other sunken silver pillars here?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"Senior, is there a double tidal body tempering technique?"
"You want to increase the difficulty of the assessment?" Bo Saixi looked at Xie Yue with a surprised expression.
Not only Xie Yue, but also the others, all showed expressions of anticipation.
Xie Yue nodded. "We very much hope to increase the difficulty of the assessment. I, Xie Yue, am willing to challenge the Double Tide Body Tempering. I just don't know if there is a Double Tide Body Tempering here?"
Tuoba Yan did not speak.
The others aren't fools either.
On the contrary, Xie Yue, Yan, Zhang Ping, Xu Yu, Li Kai, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er and others are not fools, but geniuses who are one in a million.
The third test is related to the duration of the Tidal Body Refinement. You only need to endure a certain amount of time on the Silver Pillar within a year, for example, a Black-level Level 5 examinee must endure for three hours. It's not about enduring that long duration every day of the year, but rather about being able to endure that long duration on one day within the year; that constitutes passing the test.
To double the reward upon completing the assessment, you can't work on the time factor. Therefore, you must focus on the impact of the waves, actively enhancing your tidal body training.
The Light of the Sea God has double and triple the power of the Light of the Sea God. Xie Yue wants to know if there is also double and triple the power of the Tide Body Refinement.
"have."
"real?"
Xie Yue was emotionally agitated.
Yan, Zhang Ping, and the others also became increasingly agitated.
Bo Saixi held up her finger and muttered something.
"rise!"
As Bo Saixi slightly curled her finger upwards, the mountain trembled once more with a rumble.
At the entrance to the valley, a silver pillar in the shape of a human figure appeared.
Bo Saixi said, "Those sunken silver pillars are located at the entrance of the valley, where the waves are highest. The impact of the waves is very strong. Legend has it that it was the place where the sea god and his former subordinates who fought the seas tempered their bodies with the tides!"
Xie Yue apologized and bowed slightly to Bo Saixi, saying, "Senior, please allow us to refine our bodies using the tides in the place where you once cultivated!"
Bo Saixi shook her head. "It's not that I'm unwilling to agree. Aside from our predecessors, no one has completed their assessment up there in the past five hundred years. You are land-based Soul Masters, and the assessment period is only one year. If you fail, you will all die!"
"Senior, please grant our request. Even if we die, we will die a worthy death," Yan said.
"Senior, if we still have no hope of completing the assessment by the last month, we'll switch back," Xie Yue said.
"It can be done like this?" A light shone in Li Kai's eyes.
"Of course." Zhang Ping's face lit up with joy. "Rules are rules, but people are flexible. Doing this won't affect our assessment, and we'll still have a chance to compete for better rewards. Senior, please grant our request!"
"Zhenzhu?" Tuoba Yan suddenly called out to Zi Zhenzhu.
Zi Zhenzhu blinked and said, "Master?"
"Don't join us for the later assessments."
"You want me to stay here and cultivate my body for ten years?"
Zi Zhenzhu's martial soul is a sea serpent; she is a sea soul master. Each of her nine trials of the Sea God has a time limit of ten years.
The Light of the Sea God can help increase one's Soul Power level.
Zi Zhenzhu had already given up an opportunity because of Tuoba Yan. Now, the Tide Body Refinement is another opportunity. Tuoba Yan doesn't want Zi Zhenzhu to give up this rare chance to refine her body because of him.
