After Dugu Yan stepped forward and stood still, Sea Horse Douluo raised both hands to his chest.
In his palms, a pale blue light sphere condensed.
As the light of the sphere grew more brilliant, the entire stone platform was enveloped in this blue light.
Immediately after, a dazzling blue light began to spread rapidly upward from the very bottom of the sacred pillar, finally soaring into the sky.
A gentle ripple of energy then spread out from within the sacred pillar.
At the same time, the entire Sea God Island sensed the existence of this ripple and immediately knew that someone was undergoing the Sea God's test.
Seeing this, Sea Horse Douluo's face didn't show any other emotional fluctuations; instead, he reached out and pointed toward Dugu Yan's direction from afar.
In an instant.
A blue beam of light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Dugu Yan.
Once the blue light bathed Dugu Yan, the color of the sea horse sacred pillar immediately began to change.
It went from blue to white, then yellow, purple, and black, without a single pause in between.
It wasn't until the bottom of the sea horse sacred pillar turned black and gradually climbed toward the top that it slowed down relatively.
But it was only relative; such a climbing speed was still incredible in the eyes of Sea Horse Douluo.
One must know that in the past hundred years, the black rank test had only appeared thirty-one times.
And among those, there were twenty-four failures.
The seven who finally succeeded were the current seven sacred pillars.
Sea Horse Douluo himself had only been a black rank fourth test.
However, as he watched the black light rapidly climbing the sacred pillar, his gaze grew solemn.
This climbing speed wasn't right; it was several times faster than his own back then. He felt that even the black rank sixth test wouldn't be able to stop it.
One must know that among the seven sacred pillars, only the head of the seven sacred pillars, Sea Dragon Douluo, had been a black rank sixth test back then.
And above the black rank sixth test, that was the top-tier seventh test!
While Sea Horse Douluo's thoughts were drifting, the black light on the sacred pillar completely covered the entire sea horse sacred pillar.
Then, a blood-colored light soared into the sky!
Seeing this situation, Sea Horse Douluo was immediately dumbfounded and cried out in shock.
"top-tier seventh test!!"
He suddenly turned his head to look at Dugu Yan, his eyes full of disbelief.
She was actually a top-tier seventh test!
One must know that the last time a top-tier appeared was High PriestBo Saixi.
In an instant, thousands of Spirit Masters across the entire Sea God Island turned their gazes toward the sea horse sacred pillar, at that blood-colored light soaring into the sky.
In the center of Sea God Island.
A beautiful woman with a noble and elegant temperament suddenly opened her eyes.
She stood up, her supple sea-blue hair flowing down to her waist, and her red robe added a touch of invisible majesty to her.
She was exactly the High Priest revered by thousands of Spirit Masters on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi gazed out the window toward the light soaring from the sea horse sacred pillar and murmured, "I didn't expect that after so many years, another top-tier test would appear."
Meanwhile, in front of the sea horse sacred pillar.
The red light on Dugu Yan still didn't dissipate immediately; instead, it continued to bloom.
At this moment, Sea Horse Douluo stared fixedly at the red light in the sky, his heart trembling.
"Could it be that the top-tier seventh test is still not her limit?"
Above the top-tier seventh test is the top-tier eighth test, and the High Priest was a top-tier eighth test.
However, under Sea Horse Douluo's watch, no new changes appeared in the red light above the sea horse sacred pillar, which meant that Dugu Yan ultimately stopped at the top-tier seventh test.
Yang Yuan watched this scene and subconsciously stroked his chin.
A top-tier seventh test, not bad.
In the original work, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, who had also consumed Immortal Herbs, were only black rank sixth tests.
One must know that the Innatespirit power of those three was much higher than Dugu Yan's Innate level seven.
The reason Dugu Yan could reach the top-tier seventh test and even approach the top-tier eighth test, besides having consumed an Immortal Herb, was also related to her solid Foundation.
Spirit quality is not set in stone.
Especially after Dugu Yan absorbed spirit rings according to the path pointed out by Yang Yuan, her Spirit quality had been steadily improving.
Furthermore, since Yang Yuan could perform the Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Altering for Old Jerry, he would naturally help the three girls—Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong—with it as well.
This was also why she could reach the top-tier seventh test.
Otherwise, with her Innate talent, even if she consumed an Immortal Herb, she would at most stop at the black rank fifth test like Zhu Zhuqing in the original work.
As the red light disappeared, seven red light screens appeared before Dugu Yan.
Golden characters were written on them; these were the tasks for her top-tier seventh test.
Theoretically, only she and Sea Horse Douluo could see them.
However, such a small trick was not worth mentioning before Yang Yuan or Gu Yuena; both could also see the task content on the red light screens.
Shortly after, the light screens vanished, turning into a red seven-pointed star mark imprinted on Dugu Yan's forehead.
After quietly watching all this from the side, Sea Horse Douluo stepped forward with an excited yet respectful and pious expression and asked, "Distinguished guest, may I ask for your full name?"
Dugu Yan was stunned by this.
If just now Sea Horse Douluo was only respectful toward Yang Yuan and Gu Yuena...
Then now, when facing her, he was equally respectful, and this respect came from the heart.
But Dugu Yan quickly realized.
His respect for her was likely related to the God Trial she had just received.
Dugu Yan replied, "My name is Dugu Yan!"
Hearing this, Sea Horse Douluo bowed.
"Young MissDugu Yan, it is an honor to be your examiner. On Sea God Island, no matter what issues you encounter, you can come to me."
As he spoke, he suddenly gave a bitter smile and glanced at Yang Yuan.
"I almost forgot, since you are with this distinguished guest, you likely won't have any need for me."
Dugu Yan looked at Yang Yuan and pursed her lips in a smile.
Sea Horse Douluo then looked toward Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and the others.
"Which guest is next?"
Just as he finished speaking, Ye Lingling stepped forward and said softly, "I'll go!"
Sea Horse Douluo nodded slightly and then repeated the steps from before.
On the sea horse sacred pillar, lights of different colors flashed rapidly, turning from white to black in just an instant.
This speed was actually a bit faster than Dugu Yan's, leaving Sea Horse Douluo dumbfounded and shocked.
"Could... could it be that another top-tier test is about to appear!"
As he expected, another blood-red light soared into the sky, illuminating all directions.
In the center of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi watched this scene; even she could no longer sit still, and her figure flickered as she vanished from the spot.
In front of the sea horse sacred pillar, the red light grew more dazzling and finally erupted a second time.
Sea Horse Douluo swallowed hard and stammered out a few words.
"top-tier eighth test!!"
He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, but clearly, his vision wasn't blurry, and he hadn't seen wrong.
Behind him, there was a hint of disappointment in Dugu Yan's eyes.
"I didn't expect Lingling's God Trials to be even more than mine."
Yang Yuan said, "Sister Lingling's Spirit is special after all, and she also absorbed a hundred thousand yearblue silver emperor spirit bone, so it's normal for her to reach the top-tier eighth test."
To the side, hearing Yang Yuan mention the blue silver emperor spirit bone, Ah Yin's pretty face puffed up slightly, her gaze a bit resentful.
On the other side, Yang Yuan pulled Dugu Yan's soft waist close and comforted her, "When we return to Heaven Dou City, I'll ripen the earth dragon golden gourd. You can consume it then to let your Spirit complete its third transformation. At that time, you definitely won't be inferior to Sister Lingling and Rongrong."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan's charming yet heroic face immediately revealed a moving smile. She brought her cheek close to Yang Yuan's face and kissed him in front of everyone.
After a while, their lips parted.
The love in Dugu Yan's eyes was like a tide as she said softly:
"Little Brother Xiao Yuan, it's so good to have you!"
