Gathering his scattered thoughts, Qian Renshang focused his gaze on the Seven Sacred Pillars.
Now it was his turn to test his talent!
The moment Qian Renshang placed his hand on the Seven Sacred Pillars, they blazed with light, their colors rapidly changing.
First, yellow light flashed, followed by purple light, the two lights intertwining and colliding.
Then, black light joined in, the three lights flashing alternately at an extremely fast speed, like a magnificent feast of light.
Just as everyone was overwhelmed by the spectacle, the changes in light became increasingly intense, the colors growing brighter and brighter.
Finally, all the light converged into a dazzling gold, the golden light illuminating the entire space like a sun exploding. The intense light forced everyone present to squint.
At the same time, the entire Sea God Island reacted violently to this powerful force.
The seawater on the island began to surge and churn, forming huge whirlpools, the waves constantly crashing against the shore reefs, creating deafening roars.
The trees on the island were shaken by this force, their branches rustling as if cheering for this astonishing scene.
The distant mountains seemed to sense the power as well, trembling slightly, with rocks tumbling down.
The spirit beasts inhabiting Seagod Island were also startled by this sudden change.
They surged from their habitats, some looking around in fear, others roaring, plunging the entire island into chaos and turmoil.
The Shrek Seven Devils and the others were speechless with awe at the magnificent scene.
They stared blankly at Qian Renshang in the light, their eyes filled with wonder and envy.
Seahorse Douluo was even more shocked, his eyes wide, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Hiss… what's going on?"
Just then, the mask on Qian Renshang's face, unable to withstand the immense power, began to crack.
As the light intensified, the cracks multiplied, until finally the mask shattered into countless fragments, scattering within the light.
Qian Renshang's true face gradually revealed itself: a handsome yet aloof countenance, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a mysterious and noble aura.
The light gradually stabilized, finally settling on the Nine Trials of the Sea God, representing the highest level of assessment.
The golden light on the Seven Sacred Pillars shone incessantly, as if cheering and applauding Qian Renshang's talent and the qualifications he had obtained.
Seahorse Douluo's eyes widened in disbelief.
He stared blankly at the seven sacred pillars gleaming with golden light, muttering to himself,
"How can there be a golden assessment? This... this is beyond my comprehension."
His voice was filled with doubt and shock.
The next moment, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in the arena.
She was graceful and curvaceous, her long, sea-blue dress billowing in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.
Her skin was as white as snow, with a faint glow, as if sculpted from the purest pearl.
Her long blue hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, swaying gently in the sea breeze.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like stars, and beneath her high, straight nose, her cherry-like lips were slightly upturned, carrying a mysterious smile.
Her gaze was deep and majestic, making one afraid to look directly at her.
"Great Elder!"
Seahorse Douluo immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing the newcomer, for she was the most powerful being on Seagod Island!
She looked at Qian Renshang with a solemn yet excited expression, her voice clear yet powerful as she said,
"This is the Nine Trials of the Sea God!
I never imagined it would be the Nine Trials of the Sea God... Has the person my Seagod Island has been waiting for for countless years finally arrived?"
Poseidon's gaze was fixed intently on Qian Renshang.
"From now on, Your Excellency will be the most honored guest of Seagod Island.
No one on this island can order you around!"
Poseidon didn't even bother with Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Devils, as if they didn't exist.
Her gaze remained fixed on Qian Renshang, completely ignoring the Shrek Seven Devils who were still in shock.
Dai Mubai and the others exchanged glances, a sense of disappointment and dissatisfaction rising in their hearts.
They had thought that the level of the trial they had obtained was already amazing enough, but they didn't expect that it seemed insignificant in Poseidon's eyes.
Tang San, however, didn't care about Poseidon's attitude at this moment. Instead, he stared intently at Qian Renshang's face.
The powerful force just now had shattered Qian Renshang's mask, revealing his true face.
They were all shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Tang San's eyes widened, his lips trembling slightly:
"Wait, this face, he... he's actually Qian Renshang, wasn't he dead?"
His voice was filled with shock and confusion, and the others quickly recognized Qian Renshang's identity as well.
There was no way around it; Qian Renshang had left such a huge impact on them during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.
Dai Mubai gasped, involuntarily taking a small step back:
"How is this possible? Qian Renshang, he... he wasn't already..."
His words were broken and fragmented due to overwhelming shock.
Oscar's face instantly turned deathly pale, and he almost dropped the sausage in his hand:
"My God, Qian Renshang, how could he be here, and even obtain the Nine Trials of the Sea God!"
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with terror:
"I clearly heard he was killed before, could that have been false news?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed with fear: "Qian Renshang, he has always been an insurmountable peak for us, I never expected..."
Xiao Wu's expression also became very tense: "He's still alive, what are we going to do?"
Ma Hongjun's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he stammered:
"What's going on with this guy?"
The Shrek Seven Devils were filled with fear and shock.
They had struggled under the shadow of Qian Renshang, thinking they had escaped, but they never expected him to appear before them in such a shocking way.
Tang San gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.
He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
"Only his talent can surpass me... Damn it!"
Tang San roared in a low voice, veins bulging on his forehead.
Dai Mubai looked at Tang San and said, "Little San, don't be impulsive.
This guy has now obtained the Nine Trials of the Sea God, and the situation is unfavorable for us."
Tang San snorted coldly, "Even so, I won't be afraid of him!
Oscar patted Tang San's shoulder, "Third Brother, let's complete our own trials first and improve our strength."
Tang San took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, "Okay, let's be patient for now, and when we're strong enough, we'll compete with him!"
Ning Rongrong said worriedly, "But Qian Renshang is so powerful, can we catch up?"
Tang San's eyes were firm, "We definitely can!
I won't let him stay in the lead!"
Xiao Wu encouraged him from the side, "Brother, I believe in you!"
Ma Hongjun also shouted, "That's right, we can't be afraid of him!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, "If we cultivate hard, we'll always have a chance."
