Trial Ranks, Seagod Nine Trials

Dugu Bo smiled and nodded. "Thank you."

After saying that, Dugu Bo looked at Su Yu and Su Yiyi. Su Yu picked Su Yiyi up, then walked slowly across the water as well. Seahorse Douluo was a little dumbfounded. Why had another person suddenly appeared who could just walk across the water?

Seahorse Douluo looked at Su Yu and asked, "Could it be that you have already reached level one hundred as well?"

Su Yu stroked his chin. "More or less. Anyway, I could beat that old fellow ten at a time."

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at Su Yu speechlessly.

Seahorse Douluo smiled. "You must be joking. Since that is the case, the two of you do not need to undergo the trials."

After saying that, Seahorse Douluo looked at the others. "Line up in the order you came up just now, then come forward one by one to receive your trials."

Hearing Seahorse Douluo’s words, Tang San and the others immediately formed a line. Seahorse Douluo said, "Later, place your palms on the Seahorse Holy Pillar. The Seahorse Holy Pillar will determine your trial ranks."

Tang San asked doubtfully, "The trials are divided into ranks?"

Seahorse Douluo nodded. "There are five ranks in total: White Rank, Yellow Rank, Purple Rank, Black Rank, and Red Rank. White Rank and Yellow Rank are very easy. Purple Rank is dozens of times more difficult, while Black Rank has only appeared thirty-one times in the past hundred years. Of those, seven succeeded and twenty-four failed. As for Red Rank, only the High Priestess has ever encountered it. All right, begin. Place your palms on the Seahorse Holy Pillar."

Dai Mubai, who stood first in line, nodded and placed his palm on it. Seahorse Douluo likewise placed his palm atop the Seahorse Holy Pillar. The next instant, a blue pillar of light descended from the sky and enveloped Dai Mubai.

The color of the pillar began to change, shifting from blue to white, then yellow, then purple. A moment later, it turned black.

Black light also appeared atop the Seahorse Holy Pillar. It swiftly transformed into six rings of light, each inscribed with mysterious golden characters. Seahorse Douluo gave a bitter smile. "Black Rank Six Trials!"

The light then receded, turning into six points of black light that simultaneously shot into Dai Mubai’s forehead. A black six-pointed star suddenly appeared there.

Then, one after another, the others received their trial ranks.

Dai Mubai, Black Rank Six Trials.

Zhu Zhuqing, Black Rank Five Trials.

Oscar, Special Rank Eight Trials.

Ning Rongrong, Special Rank Seven Trials.

Bai Chenxiang, Yellow Rank One Trial.

Ma Hongjun, Special Rank Eight Trials.

Lin Rou, Black Rank Six Trials.

Xiao Wu, Special Rank One Trial.

Tang San, Seagod Nine Trials.

Seahorse Douluo was completely dumbfounded by now. What the hell was going on? Three Black Ranks, four Special Ranks, and one rank he had never even heard of…

Su Yiyi looked at the Seagod Trident-shaped mark on Tang San’s forehead and said, "Uncle Xiao San’s is so pretty. Yi Yi wants one too."

As she spoke, Su Yiyi immediately ran to the Seahorse Holy Pillar and placed her hand on it as well. Suddenly, light shone down, revealing Su Yiyi’s trial rank. It was also the Seagod Nine Trials.

Su Yu froze. What was going on? Did the Seagod want two people to inherit his divine position?

Seeing the nine rings, Su Yiyi happily ran to the edge of the pool and looked at her reflection in the water. But the next moment, she pouted miserably and looked at Su Yu. "Daddy, I don’t have that fork."

Su Yu patted Su Yiyi’s little head. "It’s all right, it’s all right. Daddy will make one for you. Yi Yi, whatever you like, I’ll make it for you, okay?"

Su Yiyi immediately nodded happily. Then she thought for a moment. "Okay~ Daddy, I want one of those flowers."

As she spoke, Su Yiyi gestured vaguely in the air.

Su Yu instantly froze. That flower…

Everyone looked at Su Yu as though watching a show, each of them struggling not to laugh. They wanted to see what Su Yu would do and how he would make that flower.

Looking into Su Yiyi’s big eyes, Su Yu gave a bitter smile and took out the Infinity Gauntlet. Then he activated the Mind Stone. The only method he could think of was to use the Mind Stone to sense what the flower in Su Yiyi’s heart looked like.

Su Yu felt Su Yiyi’s mind, and an image emerged in his thoughts. It was a flower outlined by several simple red lines. Its shape looked remarkably like Su Yiyi’s true form. After memorizing the flower’s appearance, Su Yu raised a finger and touched Su Yiyi’s forehead.

Then, using the Reality Stone, he created an identical pattern on Su Yiyi’s forehead based on that flower. Once he was done, Su Yu took out a mirror and handed it to Su Yiyi.

Holding the mirror, Su Yiyi looked at the flower in it and cheered happily. "Oh! Daddy is the best!"

Ma Hongjun complained, "Damn, Yu Ge, you could even make that? How did you know which flower Su Yiyi meant?"

Su Yu smiled. "Maybe it’s because Yi Yi and I are connected by heart. Isn’t that right, Yi Yi?"

Su Yiyi smiled and nodded. "Mm-hm."

Everyone: "…"

Tang San looked at Seahorse Douluo. "Lord Seahorse, what kind of trial are the nine golden rings that Yi Yi and I received? And what is going on with Xiao Wu’s Special Rank One Trial?"

Seahorse Douluo shook his head. "I have never encountered a situation like this either."

"How could that be? How could you possibly have never encountered it?" Tang San asked doubtfully.

Just then, a woman’s voice rang out. "You need not make things difficult for him. These are the Seagod Nine Trials."

A woman suddenly appeared beside the Seahorse Holy Pillar. Tang San and the others all looked toward her, while Seahorse Douluo respectfully called out, "High Priestess."

Tang San cupped his fists toward Bo Saixi. "Junior Tang San, great-grandson of Tang Chen, greets the High Priestess."

Bo Saixi’s body trembled slightly. "So the person I had waited a hundred years for was actually his great-grandson."

The next moment, Bo Saixi continued, "Tang San, from today onward, you must not bow to anyone on Sea God Island, including me."

"Huh? Why?" Tang San asked doubtfully.

"Xiao San, didn’t you hear that these are the Seagod Nine Trials? Once you pass them, you’ll be the Seagod. Of course they can’t accept your salute," Su Yu said helplessly.

Tang San looked at Su Yiyi. "Doesn’t Yi Yi also have the Seagod Nine Trials? Then Yi Yi can inherit the Seagod’s divine position too, right?"

Su Yu waved a hand disdainfully. "Even if that Seagod has taken a liking to Yi Yi, he still has to ask whether I agree."

Bo Saixi frowned at Su Yu. "Sir, please show more respect toward Lord Seagod."

Bo Saixi had clearly heard the contempt in Su Yu’s tone when he spoke of the Seagod, and it made her very angry.

Su Yu looked utterly unconcerned. "Though I am approachable and kindhearted, there is no need for me to give face to some Seagod."
