161: Chapter 161 The Nine Trials of Poseidon, Poseidon Appears

Crossing a beach, Su Ling and his group entered the jungle of Sea God Island, and then Su Ling's Mental Energy began to explore the jungle.

After walking for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Su Ling finally found a holy pillar.

"Huh, this isn't Sea Horse Douluo. Looking at the symbol next to the holy pillar, the Spirit is a spear, so that should be Sea Spear Douluo, who Ranks second among the holy pillars of Sea God Island."

With no one to lead them, Su Ling took his people and walked straight over.

Meanwhile, as Su Ling and his group drew closer, Sea Spear Douluo, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said, "Interesting, a land Spirit Master has actually come to my Sea God Island."

After speaking, Sea Spear Douluo closed his eyes again and waited quietly.

With a direction to move forward, it wasn't long before Su Ling and the thirteen women arrived in front of a ring-shaped body of water.

The layout of the environment here looked similar to the Sea Horse Douluo's location in the novel, only the person had changed, and Sea Spear Douluo was also slightly stronger than Sea Horse Douluo.

Unlike in the novel, Su Ling and his group had no one to introduce them this time and had come straight to Sea Spear Douluo.

Seeing Su Ling and his group arrive, Sea Spear Douluo said, "Spirit Masters from the land, it is still not too late for you to leave Sea God Island now. If you are willing to accept the Sea God's trial, you must cross over first."

Su Ling said, "In that case, let's all go over together. Binger, it's up to you."

Shui Binger nodded and said, "Brother Su, no problem."

Shui Binger was the first to walk out, and the next instant, her Spirit was released; the Ice Phoenix Spirit looked even more powerful than before.

As Shui Binger took her first step, the water surface began to freeze into ice.

Shui Binger's spirit ring lit up; this was using her sixth Spirit Ability, which was currently her most powerful skill, Ultimate Ice Freeze.

In the blink of an eye, the water surface froze, and Su Ling and the women walked on the ice together.

Below, the sea Spirit Beasts crashed against the ice one after another, but it had absolutely no effect.

According to what Shui Binger told Su Ling, this spirit ring was condensed in the Ice Phoenix Valley, and its age was approaching fifty thousand years; it was also a spirit ring that Shui Binger had condensed by exceeding her Rank.

Originally, only a Spirit Saint could absorb a spirit ring of this age, but in the year she spent in the Ice Phoenix Valley, she had achieved it.

Therefore, this skill of Shui Binger's was very powerful, and for a time, the sea Spirit Beasts under the ice could not break through it.

The stretch of water wasn't long, less than two hundred meters, and soon everyone had crossed.

As Su Ling and his group approached, Sea Spear Douluo was momentarily flustered as he looked at the women beside Su Ling.

He had never seen such a scene on Sea God Island; the beauty and temperament of these women were extraordinary, dazzling to the eyes.

After all, Sea Spear Douluo was also a man, and any man would have some thoughts, unless he wasn't normal.

"Hello, I think we can come to accept the Sea God's trial now," Su Ling said.

"Of course you can! But I must remind you again: the difficulty for non-sea Spirit Masters to participate in the trial will increase significantly. Are you still willing?" Sea Spear Douluo said again.

Su Ling replied, "We are willing."

"Alright, in that case, come and accept the Sea God's trial." Sea Spear Douluo stood up and continued, "Let me introduce myself: I am the guardian of the Sea Spear Holy Pillar, one of the seven holy pillars of Sea God Island, Sea Spear Douluo."

"Come up one by one and stand in that position," Sea Spear Douluo said.

Su Ling looked at the women and said, "Then let's go one by one."

"I'll go first!" Shui Yueer took a step forward. Her Soul Power was the lowest, so she would lead by example.

"Good, Yueer, go for it!"

"Go for it!"

Shui Yueer walked up, and Sea Spear Douluo also assumed a pious appearance, muttering to himself. Soon, Shui Yueer triggered the holy pillar in front of her to emit a white light.

The white light instantly changed to yellow, then to purple. It slowed down slightly at purple, the purple deepened, and finally, it turned black.

This process lasted for two or three minutes before it stopped.

"Black-Grade Five Trials, wait... no, you don't seem to be a land Spirit Master. What is your Spirit?" Sea Spear Douluo suddenly asked Shui Yueer.

Shui Yueer answered truthfully, "My Spirit is the Lustrous Jade Dolphin. Actually, I am not strictly a sea Spirit Master; after all, I grew up on land."

"That is not important. However, you are very lucky. Although the Black-Grade Five Trials are very difficult, because of your Spirit, the difficulty should be much smaller compared to them."

"Very good!" Sea Spear Douluo said.

"Senior, what are the Black-Grade Five Trials?" Shui Yueer asked, looking confused.

Except for Su Ling, the others did not know what these Black-Grade Five Trials represented.

Seeing so many beauties looking at him, Sea Spear Douluo's face flushed slightly; after all, these women had the same level of beauty as Poseixi, and some even seemed to be more outstanding.

He was naturally willing to explain to a group of beauties.

Therefore, Sea Spear Douluo's attitude was particularly good today.

"The Sea God trials are divided into White, Yellow, Purple, Black, and Red. The Black-Grade Five Trials you just received are relatively high-level, and the difficulty is very high."

"Of course, it is simpler for you, but there will still be life-threatening dangers. As for land Spirit Masters..." Sea Spear Douluo looked at the remaining people and shook his head helplessly.

"To this day, no foreign Spirit Master has passed the Black-Grade trial," Sea Spear Douluo said.

However, Su Ling did not agree with this statement. Did Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen not participate in the trials when they came back then?

Su Ling said, "Thank you for your clarification. We know this. Can we continue with the next one?"

"You can. This is your choice, so don't blame me," Sea Spear Douluo said.

The next one to go up was Bai Chenxiang. Her Soul Power was Rank 53, having increased by one Rank on the way here. Su Ling had not provided any Medicinal Pill during this time.

Su Ling thought it would be best to take them out at the critical moment of the trial to improve their strength.

In the original work, Bai Chenxiang only had a Yellow-Grade trial at the beginning, and later rose to a Purple-Grade trial after climbing the steps together.

It was clear that Bai Chenxiang's original talent was only at the Yellow-Grade One Trial level.

Arriving at the designated position, Sea Spear Douluo followed the same procedure. Bai Chenxiang's trial Rank also quickly soared from yellow to purple, and finally to black.

However, it stopped shortly after reaching black, which was slightly worse than Shui Yueer.

She had improved her potential through the immortal herb, and her talent was actually about the same as Shui Yueer's. Perhaps it was because of Shui Yueer's Spirit that her trial Rank was the Black-Grade Five Trials.

"Black-Grade Four Trials!"

This was the trial Rank Sea Spear Douluo finally determined.

"Only four trials?" Bai Chenxiang was clearly a little dissatisfied. She had wanted to be at least the same as Shui Yueer, but unfortunately, she was still one Rank behind.

Compared to the others, she had no advantage; the Black-Grade Four Trials were really low.

Seeing that Bai Chenxiang seemed dissatisfied with the trial Rank, Sea Spear Douluo said, "The Black-Grade Four Trials are already not low. On Sea God Island, everyone who has passed the Black-Grade trials has become a Titled Douluo without exception."

This was true; all seven holy pillars had passed the Black-Grade trials, and everyone had become a Titled Douluo.

Putting it that way, Bai Chenxiang was quite funny; after all, being a Titled Douluo was already a dream-like height for her.

"Next, let's continue," Sea Spear Douluo said.

Yang Qingyu was also a Spirit King, ranking third from the bottom in Soul Power among everyone. After looking left and right, she said, "I'll go."

"Black-Grade Four Trials!" Sea Spear Douluo said.

Yang Qingyu's talent was not actually high, on par with Bai Chenxiang. She only reached the Spirit Ancestor Rank in her early twenties. Without the immortal medicinal herbs, she would likely have had a Yellow-Grade or Purple-Grade trial.

"I..."

Shui Binger wanted to go up, but was immediately stopped by Su Ling, who said, "Binger, you go last."

"Oh..."

The trump card must be used at the very end.

"Yuer, you go first," Su Ling said.

"Okay!"

Feng Yuer walked up, and soon the trial result came out; the Rank was still the Black-Grade Four Trials.

Seeing one Black-Grade Four Trial after another, Bai Chenxiang felt some comfort in her heart; at least she wasn't the worst.

Shui Yueer had originally thought she was the worst, but she didn't know that no one had surpassed the Black-Grade Five Trials yet, which gave her some confidence.

"Jiang Zhu!"

After Feng Yuer came down, it was Jiang Zhu's turn.

Soon, the result came out!

Black-Grade Five Trials!

Su Ling was a bit puzzled by this trial Rank. He knew that Jiang Zhu had integrated the Tears of Life; according to Su Ling's expectations, it should have been at least the Black-Grade Six Trials, but who knew it was only the Black-Grade Five Trials.

However, the Black-Grade Five Trials were fine; at least the difficulty was lower than the Black-Grade Six Trials.

Next was Ye Lingling, and her trial Rank also reached the Black-Grade Five Trials; still, she did not break through to the Six Trials.

Thus, of the fourteen people who came, six had already been tested, nearly half, with three Black-Grade Five Trials and three Black-Grade Four Trials.

This made Sea Spear shake his head constantly, sighing that the Sea God was punishing these land Spirit Masters.

After all, he had experienced the Black-Grade trials and knew the difficulty.

"Should we continue?" Sea Spear Douluo said.

The remaining eight people were Su Ling, Shui Binger, Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuxin, Ning Rongrong, and Hu Liena.

"Of course, Zhuqing, you come," Su Ling said.

"Okay!" Zhu Zhuqing walked up.

In the original work, Zhu Zhuqing was Black-Grade Five Trials. It was unknown if she could go further this time.

On the Sea Spear Holy Pillar, the light quickly turned black and rushed to the very top.

The result was obvious: Zhu Zhuqing was Black-Grade Six Trials this time, one trial more than in the novel.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing had taken the narcissus jade bone and had been taken by Su Ling to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for body tempering, so it was normal for her trial Rank to improve.

Next was Zhu Zhuxin. After going up, the trial Rank was the same as Zhu Zhuqing's, both Black-Grade Six Trials.

Unlike Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuxin's comprehensive talent increased by 100% after her first interaction with Su Ling, which improved her talent the most, so she also achieved the Black-Grade Six Trials.

At this moment, Sea Spear Douluo was numb.

For so many years, it had been rare to see Black-Grade trials. Today, so many people came, all of them were Black-Grade trials, and even Black-Grade Six Trials had appeared.

"Rongrong, you go,"

After Zhu Zhuxin stepped down, Ning Rongrong walked up.

In the original work, Ning Rongrong was a Top-Grade Seven Trials. After she went up and the ceremony began, the Sea Spear Holy Pillar quickly turned black.

Could she reach the level of the original work?

Theoretically, Ning Rongrong's Soul Power was higher than in the original work, and there was still nearly a year until the five-year agreement.

Even if the time for the five-year agreement arrived, there was still a lot of plot before the Seven Devils could reach Sea God Island, such as the establishment of the Tang Sect, the Heaven Dou palace coup, etc.

But the black light did not change, and finally stopped at black: Black-Grade Six Trials.

Ning Rongrong's trial Rank had actually dropped by one level, Black-Grade Six Trials? This was quite surprising to Su Ling.

Ning Rongrong was actually quite satisfied with the Black-Grade Six Trials; after all, the highest Rank among the previous people was also the Black-Grade Six Trials, the same as Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuxin, so she was very satisfied.

Next was the turn of Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, and Ah Yin.

The test results were all at the Black-Grade Six Trials level.

Finally, it was Su Ling and Shui Binger's turn.

"Brother Su, should you go first or should I?" Shui Binger asked.

"Binger, you go last."

After Su Ling finished speaking, he walked up himself and arrived at the position to accept the trial.

Sea Spear Douluo also continued the ceremony. On the Sea Spear Holy Pillar, the color turned black in an instant.

Less than ten breaths after turning black, it turned red and rushed towards the Heaven-Grade.

"This... this is a Top-Grade trial?" Sea Spear Douluo said, looking surprised.

This was the first time he had seen this kind of trial Rank. On Sea God Island, only the Poseixi had a Top-Grade trial.

The women looked at Su Ling, and everyone felt this was normal.

Although they reached the Black-Grade trials, Su Ling had to be stronger than them.

The red light soared into the sky and only dissipated after a long time.

"Top-Grade Eight Trials!" Sea Spear Douluo finally announced the trial Rank.

This Rank was simply too high; it had already exceeded the Black-Grade trials, and his status had also exceeded all their holy pillars.

On Sea God Island, the trial Rank also corresponded to one's status on Sea God Island.

Top-Grade Eight Trials? My trial is actually a Top-Grade trial!

Did I occupy the position of the Top-Grade trial, causing Ning Rongrong's trial Rank to drop to the Black-Grade Six Trials?

After Su Ling's trial Rank came out, Sea Spear Douluo even bowed to Su Ling; this was a rule he had to follow.

"Congratulations on obtaining the Top-Grade trial. I hope you can pass it. May I know your name?" Sea Spear Douluo said.

"Thank you, I will definitely pass. By the way, my name is Su Ling!" Su Ling also responded confidently. After speaking, Su Ling looked at Shui Binger and said, "Binger, it's your turn now."

"Hmm!" Shui Binger nodded and walked to the position where Su Ling had just stood.

Sea Spear Douluo looked at Shui Binger last, thinking that this was the last one to come out; could she be even more powerful than Su Ling just now?

Shui Binger stood up and also said to Sea Spear Douluo, "Sorry for the trouble."

Sea Spear Douluo also smiled and nodded. This group had already given too many surprises, one after another, and he was used to it, thinking that perhaps the last one might also be a Top-Grade trial.

The trial began, and the speed at which the Sea Horse Holy Pillar changed was even faster than before Su Ling. Soon, red light soared into the sky.

"Sister is so amazing, it's actually the same level of trial as Brother Su."

"Huh, that's not right, why is it starting to change color? Gold?"

"Isn't it said that there are only White, Yellow, Purple, Black, and Red Ranks?"

At this moment, Sea Spear Douluo was also confused. This golden trial was the first time he had seen it, and he didn't know how to explain it to everyone.

He had heard of Top-Grade trials, but this golden trial had no records on Sea God Island at all.

Meanwhile, in the sky, all seven holy pillars emitted golden light, and the light converged to cover the entire Sea God Island. At this moment, people were bathed in this golden light.

And just at this time, an important figure of Sea God Island was finally about to arrive.

Before the person arrived, Su Ling's System notification sound came first.

[Ding... Detected a Goddess with a comprehensive value exceeding 90 within 500 meters of the host!]

[Goddess: Poseixi]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 98]

[Binding Requirement: Favorability above 60]

[Current Favorability: 20]

A Goddess with a comprehensive value of 98, Poseixi?

Could it be the drag of age?

In Su Ling's eyes, according to the description of the Douluo World, Poseixi was among the best in the Douluo Continent in terms of beauty, temperament, and talent.

Su Ling thought it could be 99, but the result was still only a Goddess comprehensive value of 98.

If it was lowered due to age, it was normal. After all, Poseixi's age was not low, over a hundred years old, even older than Snow Dragon Douluo Xue Muyan.

In addition, Poseixi's initial favorability was quite high, at 20 points, possibly because Su Ling had obtained the Top-Grade Eight Trials.
