Under such full-hearted cultivation…
The pressure of the Sea God's Light greatly accelerated. Everyone absorbed the residual effects of the divine herbs in their bodies.
The core disciples, in just two weeks, collectively increased by one level.
And their momentum was still skyrocketing.
The steps had also moved upward by 2–3 levels.
Attention!
This was only the limit of the physical body's permanent capacity.
If they were to exercise skills, awaken Martial Souls, or use Soul Techniques, challenging the extreme number of steps—even multiplying it by several times—would be no problem.
Judging by the current trend:
For Black rank and below in the first assessment, one year would be more than enough.
As for higher ranks…Let's not mention Ning Rongrong for now.
The triple Sea God's Light, 333-step level, Zhu Zhuqing and the other two girls definitely couldn't manage it.
The main hope rested on Tang Lan.
Could Tang Lan fail?Hence, no one was anxious.
This Sea God's Light accelerator—whoever uses it knows its value.
Waiting until the last day would always be a loss!
The progress on the Thunder Roar Yan Prison Vine was also impressive.
In just two weeks, it surged to a 50,000-year limit!
Moreover, as cultivation increased, the efficiency of absorption increased geometrically.
Progress rolled like a snowball, only growing faster.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
Until one day,Shui Bing'er, acting strangely, called Tang Lan down.
And shy Shui Yue'er kept her head lowered, afraid to look at Tang Lan.
Tang Lan was utterly confused.
What was happening?A "sending-off sister" scenario?
As the future Sea King, Tang Lan chose to wait patiently.
"Lan, Yue'er's assessment requires your help," Shui Bing'er said with a smile.
Oh?Assessment?
Tang Lan recalled in the original work, Bai Chenxiang's Yellow rank first assessment was to kiss Ma Hongjun for the duration of one incense stick.
In the anime adaptation, it was modified to battling a Sea Spirit Beast.
If Shui Yue'er needed his help, that wouldn't mean…"Yue'er's assessment is—kiss any male in front of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar for one incense stick's time"?
"Yue'er's feelings are clear; she's fond of you, so…"
Shui Yue'er's head nearly buried in her chest.
Tang Lan marveled—she even had this talent?
"Any male?" Tang Lan chuckled. "This Sea God… also wants to play matchmaker?"
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shui Bing'er were just following along to complete the Sea God Nine Assessments.
Clearly pairing up?
"What's a matchmaker?" Shui Bing'er asked curiously.
"That's not important," Tang Lan looked at Shui Yue'er: "I want to hear what you think."
Hearing this, Shui Yue'er raised her head.
Her face flushed red, eyes exceptionally determined.
"Sect Master, I want you to help me complete the assessment!"
"Oh? Just the assessment?" Tang Lan raised an eyebrow. "No other thoughts?"
Shui Yue'er froze.
Other thoughts?
Of course there were!But now—say it or not?She hesitated.
Shui Bing'er, as an elder sister, pulled her along.
"Alright, let's go complete the assessment."
"Be back early, continue training afterward."
And so…
A blood-red light shot toward Seahorse City.
Until nightfall,
Tang Lan returned, holding one in each arm.
Looking at Shui Yue'er's outwardly awkward posture, those who understood, understood.
But Shui Bing'er seemed limp and soft…Could it be…
"Tsk—"
Dai Mubai and Oscar exchanged glances, full of envy.
But they dared not show it, silently continuing cultivation.
BecauseXiao Wu above them was surrounded by low-pressure aura, clearly annoyed!
Zhu Zhuqing's performance was far calmer.
Eyes closed, she said: "Haven't we already agreed? At least two to three Soul Master sisters should participate. This is almost enough."
"I know!" Xiao Wu pouted: "I clearly came first! Why…?"
Still have to share Brother's love with others!Zhu Zhuqing remained silent.
After all, she was the later comer and had no right to scold Xiao Wu.
Tang Lan, as usual, passed the two girls and returned to the 130th-step level.
Continuing cultivation.
Xiao Wu's anger!
But she dared not explode—Tang Lan didn't indulge tantrums before.
In the end, she couldn't save face herself.
Minutes later,
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth: "Zhu Qing, let's find a time and try… see if we can exhaust him!"
Zhu Zhuqing finally opened her eyes, looking at Xiao Wu strangely.
How could you say such a "wolfish" thing?Yet she nodded.
No woman truly wants to share love.
If possible, four would suffice.
Perhaps having heard their "exhaust plan,"Or perhaps truly devoted to cultivation,
For the next month, Tang Lan spent daytime on Soul Fusion, nighttime training with Poseidon.
Leaving Xiao Wu no chance to issue a five-person team invitation.
Though Tang Lan opened a Tang Sect Inn at the mountain foot,
No one went back to sleep!
They couldn't all bathe for a full day.They had to act strategically.
UntilZhu Zhuqing upgraded again, reaching Level 50!
As she opened her eyes,
Poseidon appeared, floating before Zhu Zhuqing.
About to raise her hand.
Tang Lan flashed forward, standing in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
"Sister Xi, are you here to grant a Divine Bestowed Soul Ring?" Tang Lan smiled.
Poseidon expressionless, nodded calmly.
Explaining:
"All assessment candidates above Black rank, when reaching an integer bottleneck for the first time, may receive a Divine Bestowed Soul Ring."
"No need to hunt Soul Beasts; the ring grants the soul skill you most need, and the highest quality possible within your capacity."
Everyone's eyes shone!
Isn't this the same as Tang Lan's original soul ring?
"Sister Xi," Tang Lan chuckled: "Can the Divine Bestowed Soul Ring be delayed? I want Zhu Zhuqing to cultivate more. The higher her level, the higher the ring's age later."
Poseidon pondered.
Normally, this wasn't allowed.
ButTang Lan called her Sister Xi, also Tang Chen's great-grandson.
How could she refuse?
She nodded.
The ring, originally to be bestowed directly, condensed into a golden light orb, floating before Zhu Zhuqing.
"This Divine Bestowed Soul Ring can be used by anyone, granting soul rings up to 100,000 years."
"For rings over 100,000 years, absorption must occur on Sea God Island."
Pausing, she added:
"Black rank candidates, upon passing all assessments, if at an integer bottleneck, may receive another."
"Assisting Xiao Lan to complete the Sea God Nine Assessments also grants another."
With that, she vanished.
Tang Lan grinned.
Though he already knew this, Poseidon's willingness to disclose it represented the attitude!
In the original story, Tang San didn't have such treatment.They only got explanations post-factum when plot triggered.
—This great-grandmother is truly recognized!
"By the way…" Oscar suddenly said: "Is this High Priest too friendly?"
"Or maybe it's my Brother's charm!" Tang San confidently said: "Even the High Priest must…"
"Boom—"
Lightning summoned by the Thunder Roar Yan Prison Vine struck skewed, and the Sea God's Light didn't filter the electric force.
Tang San was struck, bleeding from the mouth, his blood scattered by the Sea God's Light.
Falling into the circular ocean current.
Some Tang Sect disciples failed to dodge, several fire-element soul skills hit his face.
It looked painful!
Oscar, Dai Mubai, and others watched with a mix of fear and amusement.
Xiao Wu, however, stared at Tang Lan strangely.
Brother finds a woman; she couldn't care, but… is this age-appropriate?
"Tsk!" Tang Lan raised a hand: "Don't overthink! Sister Xi is a friend of my great-grandmother, very close!"
Very close?Everyone immediately understood.
But kept quiet.
Only Xiao Wu relaxed, instinctively saying: "So it's the great-grandmother."
Then covered her mouth!
Carefully watching the thundercloud above, bolts of lightning struck, safely hitting the Thunder Roar Yan Prison Vine.
Tang Lan laughed.
"That's my great-grandmother… isn't she also yours?"
"But we only know privately; don't let others on Sea God Island know. Respect her as High Priest publicly."
"Otherwise…"
Tang Lan pointed at Tang San, climbing ashore, hair singed.
What a miserable sight!Everyone quickly nodded, afraid of hesitation—lightning could strike.
