The pillar of light slowly dissipated, and Shui Bing'er's figure reappeared clearly before everyone's eyes.
She still had that aloof and calm demeanor, but there was a small mark on her smooth forehead between her eyebrows.
It wasn't a sacred trident mark like Xiao Wu's, but an extremely pure, blood-red dot.
This touch of vermilion, adorning her plain brow, did not detract from her aloof demeanor; instead, it added an air of mystery and nobility that was difficult to define.
Shui Bing'er bowed slightly to Poseidon, who was holding a scepter and had a complicated expression, and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, senior."
After saying that, she turned around and walked straight back to Ning Liu without any hesitation.
When she was just a step away from Ning Liu, she stopped and bowed respectfully.
This time, she bowed even deeper, her tone filled with heartfelt respect and gratitude.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master!"
Without Ning Liu, she might still be at Tianshui Academy, troubled by her flaws and a piece of soul bone.
It was Ning Liu who gave her the true future of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, and gave her the qualification to stand here and accept the top-level divine test.
"No need for such formalities."
Ning Liu raised his hand in a gesture of support and smiled.
"As a member of my Glazed Heaven, this is what you deserve."
He looked at Shui Bing'er with considerable satisfaction.
The top-tier beast spirit, the Ice Phoenix, is of exceptional quality. Ice and water share the same origin, making it highly compatible with the ocean.
In addition, the immortal herbs he bestowed upon her greatly optimized her martial soul quality and physique, and the soul power crystals helped her rapidly improve her soul power foundation.
The combination of various factors led to the top-level seven examinations, which was unexpected but also reasonable.
Ning Liu even thought that if he had given the Vast Ocean Universe to Shui Bing'er, with her martial spirit and temperament, she would probably be the successor of the Nine Trials of the Sea God standing here today.
While the people of Poseidon Island were still immersed in the enormous shock and trying to process this incredible scene, Ning Liu's gaze had already turned to another person.
"Yang Bubai".
He spoke calmly.
"exist!"
With his tall and upright figure and resolute face, Yang Bubai immediately stepped forward, exuding a sharp and fierce aura.
"You should go too."
"Yes, my lord!"
Without uttering any further words, Yang Bubai strode forward with steady steps.
The nerves of everyone on Poseidon Island were on edge once again.
Not again?
As Poseidon watched Yang Bubai walk forward and Ning Liu behind him with a calm expression, an utterly absurd thought suddenly welled up in his mind.
Could it be... that everyone he brought could...?
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she forcibly extinguished it. Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The highest level of assessment is the will of the ocean, a gift from the sea god; it's not like cabbage by the roadside, something you can just have whenever you want.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and raised the scepter in her hand once more.
"Draw forth the light of the sea god!"
Buzz—
The third beam of light descended from the sky!
This time, everyone was mentally prepared. They stared intently at the beam of light, not daring to blink.
Within the beam of light, Yang Bubai's figure stood upright like a javelin.
The light began to shift!
white!
yellow!
purple!
black!
The speed at which the colors rose was outrageous! Almost as soon as people recognized the previous color, the next color had already completely replaced it!
As the dense black light shot into the sky, the Sea Dragon Douluo's heart began to clench with pain.
Another black-level!
That's enough! Enough already! I've had enough of this today!
However, the will of the sea clearly did not intend to let them off so easily.
Within that thick, inky black pillar of light, a dazzling crimson ray bloomed once again, without warning!
boom!
The pillar of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, turned crimson for the third time!
"..."
The entire room fell silent.
The Sea Dragon Douluo swayed and almost lost his balance, but fortunately, the Sea Soul Master next to him caught him in time.
He stared at the red beam of light, his lips trembling, his eyes shifting from shock to numbness, and finally to emptiness.
"Top-tier...Seventh Test..."
Poseidon's voice was devoid of any emotion, sounding like a mechanical repetition.
As the beam of light dissipated, Yang Bubai stepped down the stairs, a vermilion mark now appearing between his brows.
He returned to Ning Liu, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and bowed, saying, "I have not failed in my mission!"
"very good."
Ning Liu nodded, his gaze sweeping across the crowd again.
Everyone on Poseidon Island was on tenterhooks.
Please...please don't order any more...
Our hearts really can't take it anymore!
However, Ning Liu's gaze eventually fell on Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan trembled slightly as she met Ning Liu's gaze, a hint of nervousness and insecurity flashing across her face.
Can she do it?
Shui Bing'er possesses the top-tier Ice Phoenix, and Yang Bubai wields the Heaven-Crossing Divine Spear—both are top-tier martial souls. But she is merely the Azure Phosphorous Serpent…
"Dugu Yan, go."
"……good!"
Dugu Yan bit her lower lip, suppressing her unease, and slowly stepped forward.
Poseidon was already somewhat numb. She didn't even glance at Dugu Yan, but mechanically raised her scepter and activated the fourth beam of the sea god's light.
A pillar of light descends!
White light flashed, yellow light rose, and purple light emerged...
When the beam of light finally settled on the deep blackness, Hailong Douluo and the others all breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Phew... thank goodness, it's only black level."
"Yeah, it scared me to death. I thought it would be another red one."
"Black-level sixth level, not bad, not bad at all, truly a genius..."
Halfway through their conversation, the group suddenly froze, exchanging bewildered glances.
What are we... talking about?
Just Black Level?
That's a Black-level assessment, the level of a Holy Pillar Guardian!
Normally, this would be a major event that would shake the entire Poseidon Island! How come it's now being described with words like "okay" or "not bad" in our mouths?
Everyone's faces immediately stung, as if they had been slapped several times.
People really can't be compared.
Dugu Yan was somewhat disappointed, but mostly relieved. After bowing, she returned to the group.
For her, passing the sixth level of the Black-level exam was already an incredible opportunity.
Ning Liu was not surprised by this. Although Dugu Yan had resolved the hidden dangers of her martial soul, consumed immortal herbs, and improved her soul power with soul power crystals, her martial soul, talent, and temperament were indeed slightly inferior to Shui Bing'er and Yang Bubai.
He was just about to let Zhu Zhuqing try it out when a tall, muscular figure couldn't resist squeezing out from behind him.
"My lord!"
Xu Jiushi looked excited and impatient.
I want to try it too!
