"Assist your teammates, work together, and survive three moves in the Book of the Sea God. Upon completion of the test, you will be rewarded with 20% Sea God's affinity."
At the same time, notification sounds rang in Xie Yue, Yan, and Xu Yu's minds.
"Together with my teammates, we withstood three moves from the Sea God, exceeding expectations for the sixth trial. With all trials completed, my soul power level has increased by three levels."
In an instant, the soul power levels of Xie Yue, Yan, and Xu Yu suddenly increased by three levels.
"Level three!" Yan exclaimed in amazement, "He actually advanced three levels at once! That's awesome! It's equivalent to at least three years of hard training for others!"
"Three years is a minimum estimate. For a normal Soul Master, it's difficult to raise their Soul Power level by three years at the Soul Douluo level without five or eight years. Before long, I will be able to become a Title Douluo, enter the Douluo Hall, and become an elder of the Elder Hall!" Xu Yu said excitedly.
Becoming a Soul Master is the dream of most people; becoming a Title Douluo is the dream of all Soul Masters.
The Spirit Hall has a rule that anyone who possesses nine spirit rings and whose spirit master level is Title Douluo can unconditionally become an elder of the Spirit Hall and enter the central power structure of the Spirit Hall.
Title Douluo is not just a Soul Master level; it also symbolizes the corresponding social status and wealth.
"It's a pity that the divine test is over just like that." Xie Yue felt regretful and unsatisfied.
A hand landed on Xie Yue's shoulder.
Tuoba Yan said, "Xie Yue, with your talent, you are qualified to inherit the divine position of a first-level god. I believe you can sense the divine thoughts of other gods. Now that this matter is settled, go back and explore the continent, traveling to various places to sense the divine thoughts left behind by the gods."
Xie Yue nodded, "We can only try our luck, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse!"
Tuoba Yan had something to say.
The places where deities leave their divine thoughts are extremely difficult to find. Some people may spend their entire lives without ever finding a place where a deity has left their divine thoughts.
Douluo Star is incredibly vast.
Finding a sacred place on Douluo Star where gods left their divine thoughts is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Tuoba Yan was not entirely clueless.
God knows God best.
The sea god must know where other gods left their divine thoughts, but he probably won't tell Tuoba Yan where those thoughts are.
Besides the Sea God, there are other gods on Douluo Star.
As it happened, Tuoba Yan knew that two of the deities were very likely to know the location of the divine sense.
Xie Yue asked curiously, "And you, what rewards did you receive after completing the assessment?"
Tuoba Yan looked at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
Shui Yue'er said proudly, "My soul power has increased by four levels!"
"He's a level higher than me." Xie Yue paused for a moment, then quickly felt relieved.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Even if someone helps a beggar, it is done with a compassionate heart.
To gain something, you always have to give something in return. For example, giving alms to beggars.
Shui Yue'er was one of the participants in the three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill. She contributed more effort than Xie Yue, Yan, Xu Yu, and Zi Zhenzhu, so naturally she received more rewards.
Many people envy others for having things they don't. But those who envy others fail to see the sweat and effort others put in to obtain those things.
Therefore, Xie Yue never envied others. He respected the strong. He had worked his way up to where he was today, and was hailed by Bibi Dong as the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, now a Soul Douluo with eight rings.
Countless Soul Masters in the Soul Master world envy Xie Yue.
The same applies to other industries.
Some people envy others for their power and influence, but who can see the hardships they've endured along the way?
Some people envy others for making money effortlessly, but who can see the risks they take to acquire wealth, and the constant anxiety and torment they endure?
Actually, those who envy others never see the hardships Xie Yue silently endured!
Therefore, Xie Yue never envied others; he only respected the strong and enjoyed sparring with them!
Xie Yue calmly looked at Shui Bing'er and Tuoba Yan and asked, "And you two?"
Shui Bing'er replied with a smile, "My soul power level has increased by four levels, and the age of all my soul rings has increased by four thousand years!"
"Four thousand years!"
Even though they knew that Shui Bing'er had passed the sixth test and received a very generous reward, Xie Yue, Yan, and Xu Yu were all shocked when they heard Shui Bing'er reveal the reward she had received.
Zhang Ping asked in astonishment, "Then all your spirit rings must be over ten thousand years old?"
"Yes."
With a thought, Shui Bing'er unleashed a white light that spread outwards. Seven spirit rings appeared beneath her feet, their colors being black, black, black, black, black, brilliant gold, and red.
Because she hasn't obtained her eighth spirit ring, her spirit power level is currently at level 80. Only after obtaining her eighth spirit ring will her spirit power level explode.
It's worth mentioning that Shui Bing'er still has one last exam to complete.
Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "Me too!"
To avoid upsetting others, Tuoba Yan chose not to let his martial spirit possess him.
Zhang Ping continued, "Now only the eldest brother and his two sisters-in-law have assessments to complete. What are the upcoming assessments for you?"
Zi Zhenzhu said, "Draw out the divine artifact, the Trident of the Sea God!"
Tuoba Yan said, "Assist Zi Zhenzhu in pulling out the divine trident!"
Shui Bing'er said, "Like Brother Tuoba, I also assisted Sister Zhenzhu in pulling out the divine trident!"
Xie Yue interjected, "How do you plan to exploit this loophole this time?"
Taking advantage of loopholes?
What loophole are they exploiting?
The answer is to exploit loopholes in the rigorous test. Actively increase the difficulty of the test to achieve the goal of doubling the reward.
The test was very simple; the Zi Zhenzhu had to pull out the trident of Bo Saixi.
The simpler the content, the more difficult it is to exploit loopholes.
Shui Bing'er thought for a while, then looked at Tuoba Yan and said, "I can't think of anything!"
Tuoba Yan smiled wryly, "I'm only human, I'm not omnipotent. This time, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a loophole!"
...
Sea God Temple.
A trident was planted on the platform in front. Layers of blue energy rippled outwards from it, forming a strange aura that prevented others from approaching.
Zi Zhenzhu sat beside the platform, her eyes closed, facing the trident.
Shui Bing'er asked, "Brother Tuoba, is your method really feasible?"
Tuoba Yan said, "There is evidence. The Trident of the Sea God has been left here for many years. Even if it did not develop sentience during the time of the Sea God, after such a long period of time, I think it should have developed sentience. As long as it has sentience, then it can be communicated with. Once a divine artifact develops sentience, it will have its own thoughts. Only by gaining its recognition can one become its master. In my opinion, relying on brute force to pull them out is not the best strategy!"
