Under the golden light of the Seagod's blessing, Ah Zhi's eyes revealed an unprecedented sense of seriousness. She slowly walked to the front of the Seadragon Sacred Pillar.
The instant her palm pressed against the pillar, a golden light shot out from the base of the Sacred Pillar and instantly enveloped her entire body.
Ah Zhi was momentarily stunned, but her figure quickly straightened. She closed her eyes, feeling the power of the Seagod's light with all her heart.
Yu Tianming, standing off to the side, was also nervously watching her reaction.
Although he had complete confidence in Ah Zhi's potential, it was still hard to remain calm when witnessing this sacred and mysterious scene.
A few moments later, a gentle and warm voice echoed in Ah Zhi's mind.
"You, who possess the Blood Jade Spider Emperor martial soul, have a solid foundation, unyielding will, and innate mental strength far surpassing ordinary soul masters. You are eligible to receive the Seagod's Trial."
As the voice fell, the golden light on Ah Zhi's body suddenly brightened.
A faint golden halo began to spread out from the base of the Sacred Pillar, indicating that she had been acknowledged by the Seagod.
Not long after, a bright red halo rose from the base of the pillar, and Ah Zhi's entire body was illuminated by red light.
Yu Tianming's eyes flashed with astonishment.
"The Seagod's Seven Trials?"
Although it wasn't as high-level as the Seagod's Nine Trials, being able to receive the Seven Trials on one's first attempt was already an extremely rare feat.
Even Tang San in the original timeline only started with the Seagod's Nine Trials because of his dual martial souls and affinity with the Seagod.
Ah Zhi's result already proved that her growth potential was extraordinary.
The red light slowly condensed into a special symbol on Ah Zhi's forehead, clearly showing the number "7."
Seadragon Douluo's expression also became much gentler.
"Very good, the Seagod's light has chosen a suitable candidate. Go, begin your first trial."
Ah Zhi bowed slightly, then silently returned to Yu Tianming's side.
Yu Tianming gently took her hand and whispered,
"Good job."
Ah Zhi smiled sweetly and leaned slightly against his shoulder, her heart full of pride and joy.
Then it was Ah Zhu's turn to step forward.
Her expression was much calmer than Ah Zhi's. She quietly walked to the Sacred Pillar and pressed her hand against it.
Another beam of golden light emerged and enveloped her.
The golden light was significantly more intense than what Ah Zhi had received earlier.
Even Seadragon Douluo was a bit surprised and looked at Ah Zhu with a more serious gaze.
Yu Tianming wasn't surprised by this result. Ah Zhu's innate constitution and her absorption of the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone had significantly boosted her physique.
Not only that, but her martial soul had also undergone an extraordinary transformation.
Sure enough, the golden light didn't stop at a faint glow but rapidly surged to form a red light.
The same red halo rose again, followed by the number "7" clearly forming on her forehead.
Two consecutive candidates receiving the Seagod's Seven Trials was a rare sight, even in the long history of Seagod Island.
The high priestess standing in the distance narrowed her eyes slightly.
"This young man from the continent… seems to have brought some amazing individuals."
Yu Tianming's lips curled into a faint smile.
But he didn't let his smugness show on his face.
After all, he still had a third person to send into the trial—Dugu Yan.
Yu Tianming looked at Dugu Yan beside him and gently said,
"You go too."
Dugu Yan gave him a faint glance. Although she didn't say anything, she stepped forward with graceful steps.
She had long since accepted that she would undergo the Seagod's Trial as well, though the appearance of Ah Zhu and Ah Zhi, and their obvious closeness to Yu Tianming, still left her feeling a little sour.
Dugu Yan stood in front of the Sacred Pillar, her expression composed.
But just as she was about to extend her hand, Yu Tianming suddenly called out.
"Wait a moment."
Dugu Yan frowned slightly and looked back at him.
Yu Tianming walked over, reached into his storage space, and took out a shimmering blue herb.
"This is the Blue Water Ice Crystal Grass. You haven't finished refining it yet. Swallow it now, it'll help during the trial."
Dugu Yan's eyes softened. Although she still felt a bit irritated, she obediently accepted the herb and quickly swallowed it.
A cool and refreshing aura spread through her body, making her feel light and calm.
She didn't say anything else and directly extended her hand to the Sacred Pillar.
Boom—
The golden light lit up again.
But this time, it was even brighter than the previous two.
Everyone could clearly feel that the Seagod's Light had become more intense and more focused.
Even Seadragon Douluo's expression became solemn.
The golden light quickly turned red, and within moments, the red glow turned into a deep purple.
Yu Tianming's pupils contracted.
"The Seagod's Eight Trials?"
He hadn't expected that Dugu Yan would surpass the other two.
But after thinking it through, it made sense.
Dugu Yan had absorbed two top-grade immortal herbs—Blue Water Ice Crystal Grass and the Jade Bone Bamboo.
Combined with her twin-headed snake martial soul and her spiritual fortitude, she was indeed highly compatible with the Seagod's power.
The purple number "8" clearly appeared on Dugu Yan's forehead, shining brightly.
She turned around and glanced at Yu Tianming.
There was no joy on her face, only a subtle trace of pride and provocation.
Yu Tianming smiled and nodded.
"Well done."
After the three girls finished their trials, it was finally Yu Tianming's turn.
But before he stepped forward, he suddenly turned to Ah Zhi and handed her a gleaming soul bone.
"Take this. It'll enhance your potential before the trial."
Ah Zhi looked at him in surprise but didn't hesitate to accept it and immediately began refining it on the spot.
Yu Tianming wanted her to improve a bit more before taking the next trial.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan felt a bit displeased in her heart.
Ever since coming to Seagod Island, Yu Tianming had not only acted intimately with the two maids, but also gave them treasures like bloodline soul bones.
'Clearly, Ah Zhu and Ah Zhi can at most become concubines. I'm his fiancée.'
Although she was upset, Dugu Yan still walked calmly toward Seadragon Douluo.
"Lord Sacred Pillar, please allow me to begin the Seagod's Trial."
Facing the elegant and obviously stronger Dugu Yan, Seadragon Douluo's attitude became much gentler.
He nodded slightly and directed the Seagod's Light toward her.
In an instant, light enveloped Dugu Yan and the base of the Sacred Pillar.
But unlike Ah Zhu, the change in Dugu Yan's aura was much faster.
In the blink of an eye, the light had shifted from white to yellow, and then to purple.
Within a few breaths, purple turned into black.
The speed of this progression even made Yu Tianming a little anxious.
'Even though I'm carrying the Vast Sea Cosmic Barrier and haven't even stepped up yet, Dugu Yan is already this impressive?'
'What if the Seagod suddenly changes his mind and wants her to be the successor instead?'
Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't impossible. She had absorbed two top-grade immortal herbs.
While Yu Tianming was lost in thought, the magic patterns on the Sacred Pillar continued to climb, surpassing two-thirds.
The originally black patterns turned red and were still slowly ascending.
Seadragon Douluo, already prepared, remained calm.
But Yu Tianming was growing more and more uneasy.
'If Dugu Yan actually gets the Seagod's Nine Trials… I might have to consider how to live off her in the future.'
