"Brother, do you have a plan?" Everyone wondered.
Ye Ming spoke calmly, "You don't need to worry about that. Just follow behind me, and I'll guide you through the assessment!"
Right now, they're just being spurred on by Ye Ming and want to complete the assessment in one go.
However, Tang San and Oscar are very shrewd. Once they realize what's happening, they will definitely extend the assessment time to hone their skills.
What he needs to do, naturally, is to race against time!
"Since you have a solution, let's trust him!" Ma Hongjun said casually. "Would he really harm us?"
Dai Mubai and the others nodded repeatedly, "That's true."
Ye Ming was the first to step onto the stairs, and the immense pressure seemed to be nothing to him.
The pressure of the sea god's light couldn't even stop him from moving forward.
As he stepped onto the third step, Dai Mubai and the others followed. Although Tang San sensed something was amiss, he still pulled Xiao Wu into the area enveloped by the Sea God's Light and stepped onto the steps.
Just as everyone was wondering what Ye Ming would do, countless moonlit ribbons floated out from his body and enveloped everyone.
Instantly, everyone who had been under immense pressure felt a sense of relief, as if the pressure from the light of the sea god had vanished.
As Ye Ming's natal Gu in his first void, the Baoyue Nishang Gu has the top-tier defensive capabilities among all fourth-rank Gu worms.
Most importantly, this Gu worm's defensive capabilities can help others!
Dai Mubai and Tang San felt it most acutely. Just now, when they tried to step onto the steps, they were blocked by the light of the Sea God. Now, shrouded in the moonlight ribbon, the pressure from the light of the Sea God was less than one percent of what it was before.
Ye Ming himself did not use the defensive power of the Precious Moon Rainbow Gu, so the pressure from the steps in front of him posed no obstacle at all. He strolled leisurely upwards, while the Shrek Seven Devils behind him also climbed the mountain with ease.
Soon, Ye Ming arrived at the hundredth step. At this point, the pressure here made his steps a little heavier, but he remained calm and continued to move forward slowly.
Soon, he surpassed the 108 steps, which was also the destination of the Black-level assessment.
Almost instantly, the Shrek Seven Devils, with the help of the Treasure Moon Rainbow Gu, also ascended to this step.
In an instant, the pale golden mist that had enveloped Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun rapidly dissipated.
From the pentagram and hexagram patterns on their foreheads, a wisp of black energy drifted out and condensed into a black light screen in front of them.
The light barrier shattered instantly, then turned into specks of black light that re-entered their brows.
"Black-level Level 5/6 Trial, First Test: Transmigration, Light of the Sea God, Passed. Soul Power Increased by One Level!"
The voice rang in their minds at the same time, and Dai Mubai and the others immediately felt a sense of relief as the immense pressure brought by the light of the sea god disappeared.
"My soul power has increased by one level!" Oscar exclaimed. "This reward is amazing!"
Zhu Zhuqing and the others also responded in unison.
The feeling of easily passing the test and receiving the reward of increased soul power is just so awesome!
"Let's retreat first, so as not to add to our brother's burden!" Dai Mubai said, and immediately retreated to the foot of the mountain.
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun and the others also withdrew and returned to the foot of Poseidon Mountain.
Ning Rongrong and Tang San exchanged a glance, both feeling a surge of excitement.
The reward for completing the Black-level assessment is a level increase in soul power. The rewards for their top-level assessments and the Nine Trials of the Sea God must be even more generous!
Under Ye Ming's protection, they continued forward. Soon, Ning Rongrong also reached the 136th step and completed her first test!
Surrounded by red light, the strange red seven-pointed star on Ning Rongrong's forehead shone brightly, and layers of red light swept down, cheering and leaping around her body.
The red light curtain spewed out from the seven-pointed star, shattered silently, and directly condensed into a red halo that shot into the sky, enveloping Ning Rongrong's body and merging into her body.
"The first of the top seven trials, Transmigration, Enhancement, and the Light of the Sea God, has been passed. Soul power has increased by one level, and the power of the Soul Ring skill has increased by five hundred years."
The moment that sound rang out, the pressure emanating from the Sea God's Light on Ning Rongrong vanished.
Feeling grateful for the generous reward, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Ye Ming!"
After saying this, she withdrew and headed straight down the mountain.
Ye Ming remained calm, as if he couldn't feel the pressure from the Sea God's Light. He poured all the power of the Treasure Moon Rainbow Gu onto Tang San and Xiao Wu, and continued walking forward.
When he reached the 200th step, the pressure suddenly increased significantly, and the consumption of his internal energy also began to increase.
However, this level of consumption was not a problem for him, who possessed 98% of his True Essence Sea.
Not to mention, the Four-Turn Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus within his acupoint was continuously generating true essence.
Walking on the steps shrouded in the light of the sea god, Ye Ming discovered that not only was the speed of his soul power circulation faster, but even the frequency of the true essence in his acupoints had increased considerably.
Clearly, under this pressure, his cultivation speed would be much faster.
However, he's only at the 200th step yet; the pressure above will be even greater, and the help will be even more significant!
Tang San, holding Xiao Wu in his arms, looked up at the resolute figure moving forward and couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Brother, how are you feeling?"
"If we can't hold on, we'll take a break and then try again for the first assessment!"
Ye Ming turned his head and said with a faint smile, "Third Brother, don't worry! This little bit of pressure isn't enough to stop me!"
"Mu Bai and the others have already completed the first assessment. We need to make sure you and Xiao Wu complete this one first!"
After saying this, he strode quickly upwards, the wind whistling as he walked, without stopping at all!
Seeing this, Tang San no longer hesitated and quickly followed Ye Ming's steps.
When he reached the 300th step, the pressure within the Sea God's Light increased dramatically once again, causing Ye Ming to pause slightly.
But in just a moment, he adjusted and continued to climb upwards step by step!
When he walked down the 333rd step, Tang San, who was behind him, put his arm around Xiao Wu and also stepped onto the same step!
Suddenly, a red light surged from between Xiao Wu's eyebrows, flashing by in an instant. Seven clearly visible golden lights converged in the air, illuminating the surroundings, and then descended, enveloping Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Enveloped in golden light, Tang San's golden trident on his forehead shone brilliantly, with golden light spreading down his forehead like threads and flowing throughout his body.
A golden light screen shattered in front of Tang San, turning into specks of golden light that, along with the light flowing down from the golden trident, surged into his body.
"Passing through, double rewards, Poseidon's Light, test passed. First test complete. Poseidon's affinity increased by 5%, current overall level is 5%."
A strange blue light flickered between Tang San's brows before disappearing.
At the same time, the red light on Xiao Wu's forehead flashed continuously, and a notification sound also rang out deep within her soul.
"One-ninth of the top-level exam is complete; rewards begin to accumulate."
When Tang San heard the announcement of the reward, he was slightly taken aback. Why hadn't he received the reward for increasing his soul power?
In just a moment, he had already figured it out: the Nine Trials of the Sea God were a higher test than the top-level Seven Trials, and the final reward would definitely not be low.
For now, the rewards may simply be temporarily stored away.
Tang San called out to Ye Ming ahead, "Brother, our assessment is over. You'd better keep up the good work!"
After saying that, he put his arm around Xiao Wu and quickly retreated down the mountain, landing next to Dai Mubai and the others.
Seeing this, Ye Ming nodded slightly and put away his Precious Moon Rainbow Robe Gu. Looking at the Sea God Temple above, his gaze sharpened, and then he began to sprint up the steps!
Four hundred...four hundred and thirty...four hundred and seventy...five hundred...six hundred!
In just a few breaths, he flew across hundreds of steps and arrived at the seven hundredth step!
This scene left Dai Mubai and the others below speechless with shock.
"Wow, bro, that's amazing!"
"No wonder the test required him to climb 1001 steps; at this speed, he has a chance to pass today!"
They looked up at Ye Ming, their mouths agape, their eyes wide with horror.
Ye Ming's speed slowed down again. After crossing seven hundred steps, the pressure he faced was terrifying.
However, no pain appeared on his face. At this critical moment, he didn't activate the Precious Moon Rainbow Robe Gu to empower himself!
He wanted to give it a try and see how far he could go on his own!
Eight hundred... eight hundred and forty... eight hundred and ninety... nine hundred!
When he reached the 900th step, cold sweat poured down his forehead with every step he took!
At this moment, he is still walking up the steps by his own strength!
Moreover, he was multitasking, activating the five-turn thunder dragon power Gu in the second aperture and integrating it into his own body!
Ye Ming is currently only a mid-level fourth-rank Gu Master. After completely integrating the fourth-rank Tyrant Bear Force Gu and the fourth-rank Flying Elephant Force Gu, his integration speed with the fifth-rank Thunder Dragon Force Gu is as slow as an ant crawling.
Under the pressure from the light of the sea god, his speed in refining and integrating the Thunder Dragon Power Gu has begun to increase rapidly!
At the original pace, it would have taken him about six months to completely integrate the Thunder Dragon Power Gu into his body. But now, he only needs a little over a month to fully control the Thunder Dragon Power Gu!
When Ye Ming reached the 950th step, he could no longer walk, so he used the Treasure Moon Rainbow Gu on himself.
Even so, it took him a lot of time to take each step.
"Go, Ye Ming!!"
"Brother, charge in!!"
"Brother Ye Ming, hang in there!!"
Below, Dai Mubai and others rang out, cheering for Ye Ming.
Hearing these encouraging words, Ye Ming smiled inwardly.
You guys can speedrun it, of course I'm going to take my time!
He naturally wanted to make the most of this month!
