The Seagodâs Light of up to 70% potency had achieved a great effect. It seemed that the handle was slowly moving upwards under Tang Sanâs efforts, as the blood from his palms covered more of the wave lines on it, which combined into a golden red light. Tang San could gradually see where the handle and the head were connected. It was a ring shaped intersect, tightly bonded together. The closer to the head of the trident, the thicker it seemed.
As the intersect slowly came up, the triangular edges of the tridentâs head appeared. Each side had a crescent shaped brand. Now, Tang Sanâs blood had spread to cover the crescent shaped brands. From the current position, it could be seen that the further the trident was pulled up, the heavier it felt to Tang Sanâs hands. In just a short time, he actually began to have a sense of weakness. At the same time, he also felt that his palms were still bleeding, while the blood was also being absorbed greedily by the waves in the handle.
Gritting his teeth, Tang Sanâs feet went firm. Two of the hundred thousand year spirit bones gave him a great assistance. As a piercing sound of friction came out, the trident was slowly rising. The triangular edges had extended outward for about three inches. The angular and heavy head of the trident was truly coming out.
A trident would naturally have three parts for its head. The left and right parts were thinner compared to the central part, which was exceptionally broader. It felt like it was a sword. Beneath the trident and where it was connected to, there was a large diamond shaped hole, like it was missing something. At here, the tridentâs head was out by one third.
As the blood continued to flow from Tang Sanâs palms, the lines on Seagodâs Trident had been wholly awakened. Although the brightness wasnât great, the golden brands became more radiant than the pitch blackness earlier. With the blood flowing down to the head of the trident, the golden glow continued to spread, and the crescent brands below the head of the trident were radiating furiously. It felt as if the golden glow was surging the Seagod platform like an erupting volcano. It made Tang San appear to be coated in gold.
But Tang San discovered that the trident was becoming increasingly heavier. No matter how much strength he poured into his hands, they couldnât lift it up to halfway. The blood loss was increasing, and it was surely not a good sign. Suddenly, his mind seemed to have something flashing by as a peculiar thought made Tang San lower his head. The Seagodâs Light that came from his foreheadâs dark golden trident brand gradually moved down from the handle down to the diamond shaped hole exposed at the floor which was on the trident.
WOOOMââ
In this instant, it was as if the air had been frozen. A ring of powerful golden light burst out from the head of the trident. Tang San and the Seagodâs Trident seemed to have communicated, and the same golden lines found on the trident was bursting from him as well. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong themselves were blown away by the massive power and fell down the Seagod platform.
Under the platform, Bo Saixi reached her arms out in time and caught them.
The two ladies spat out a mouthful of blood almost at the same time, but Ning Rongrong didnât give up buffing Tang San even slightly. The Nine Jeweled Lapis Pagodaâs radiance became even greater instead as it was supporting Tang San with all its power.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San anxiously as she hated this. Why couldnât she help him like Rongrong did? But now she could do nothing but watching Tang San struggle painfully in her eyes.
Just then, the Seagodâs Light that came from Tang Sanâs forehead suddenly turned blue in color, like a vast sea. Bits of golden glow gradually vanished in the blue until the light became such a simple color completely.
A blue tetrahedron slowly flew out of Tang Sanâs forehead while rotating around. It approached the diamond shaped hope on the head of the trident. It was none other than Vast Sea Veil.
Not even Tang San himself understood why it would turn out like this, because he didnât even let use of Vast Sea Veilâs power. It totally came out of him on its own. But a powerful excitement was felt from it, like it was at this moment, it became just like when Tian Dou Empireâs treasure came to life.
An amazing scene soon happened as Vast Sea Veil flew to three inches before the diamond shaped hole on the trident. It stopped and its light spinned while the original size of the tetrahedron became double the size in an instant, like two of them attached together, and thus the form also changed. It actually turned into a deep blue diamond cut jewel whose size matched perfectly with the hole under the trident. Powerful blue light then overshadowed the golden glow. Tang San could also clearly feel that his soul power, spirit power, Seagodâs Light and vitality, were fading away rapidly. A powerful sense of weakness assaulted his brain ceaselessly, which even Ning Rongrongâs support from behind could not stop him from somewhat feeling that he could not hold this sensation back.
(How could this be? Can it be, that Vast Sea VeilâŚ..). Even with Tang Sanâs wisdom, he could not expect that this scene before him would happen. But at this moment, his mind was being enlightened in a vague way.
Ever since he got Vast Sea Veil, his own body had been changing subtly, especially when the blazing heat from the spirit bones were caused by him. Ever since coming here, he originally shouldâve only gotten Top Class Eight Trials at most, according to Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi, but finally it was Seagod Nine Trials instead. Could it be that all of this was caused by Vast Sea Veil?
Tian Dou Empire could not possibly know such a secret. Otherwise, they wouldnât gift it away no matter how important they took themselves for. If all of his treatments on Seagod Island were caused by this little Vast Sea Veil, then all the explanations would make sense.
The long lasting confusion inside Tang Sanâs heart was dispelled by the changes of Vast Sea Veil in this moment. If the previous six trials were largely dependant on his own strength and wisdom, then the seventh trial right now and the appearance of Seagod Nine Trials could only be explained by luck.
Perhaps, a personâs achievements are obtained through diligence for 99%, but that 1% of luck and coincidence are sometimes more important than the 99% of effort. The arrival of chance. Seize it, and you will succeed. Otherwise you will fall for life.
Unquestionably, Tang San was someone who could seize the chances. Even though he had worn out and he bled too much, he still had no intention of giving up. He knew that if Vast Sea Veil didnât show up, even Bo Saixiâs strength would not be able to pull out Seagodâs Trident. This was his own chance, not just to survive, but also to reach the strength of gods. How could he give up?
With a light âdingâ, the diamond formed Vast Sea Veil finally branded itself into the diamond shaped hole at the trident. Ear piercing grinding sounds came with the bursting of a torrent of energies. The entire building was engulfed in an instant.
The pitch black interior seemed to have been lit up by the golden light. Whether they were the floors or the ceilings, the walls or the platforms around the Seagod platform, they were all baptised by the golden brands. What appeared to be an old and simple hall was completely covered in gold in this moment. The massive amount of it made this place look so luxurious. A rush of never before felt sacred air came from the location of the trident, which turned into a gigantic pillar of light that soared skyward, to the top of the hall.
âAAAAAAHHHH!â Tang San howled towards the air angrily. Because of overexertion, the muscles on his back and his arms ruptured almost simultaneously. But finally, the trident which symbolized the divine rights of Seagod, had also loosened. So very slowly, it left the floor.
On Tang Sanâs raised head, the dark golden trident brand turned into bright gold once more. The powerful divine light and the light that was released by Seagodâs Trident were combining.
The tridentâs main blade which appeared to be a longsword slowly rose upwards at the companionship of the side blades. Tang Sanâs blood seemed like it cleansed the blackness and dirt on them, making the trident release eye catching golden rays like a pouring of water. A sound like a dragonâs roar kept coming from the trident itself.
Seagod platform was trembling furiously. The entire Seagod Hall was shaking, as well as the whole Seagod Mountain.
Standing at the bottom of the mountain, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Chenxiang were staring wide eyed at the top of Seagod Mountain.
Now in the sky, dark clouds had formed tightly, which darkened the rays of light on the whole of Seagod Island. But just then, Seagod Hall itself glowed. It released a powerful golden light that broke the darkness and illuminated Seagod Mountain, while seemingly brightening the entire Seagod Island as well. A thick pillar of golden light surged the skies, piercing the dark clouds.
At the same time, Seagod Islandâs seven sacred pillars were also lighting up. Seven pillars of golden light in uneven thickness rose from different directions, which looked to merge with the pillar of golden light from Seagod Hall.
The light lasted the whole of ten seconds before dimming. The dark clouds in the sky were completely turned into golden clouds by the light from the pillars earlier. The merged golden light slowly changed shape in mid-air into a humanoid. One could vaguely see that the humanoid was illusionary, wearing golden armor, with deep blue hair draped on the shoulders, while the armor seemed to have covered every part of his body. Most importantly, in the hand of the humanoid projection, it was the exact same golden trident from before which looked like it could pierce the skies and rend the earth.
The seven sacred pillars Guardian Douluos who were standing in front of Seagod Hall were looking at the sky. They knelt on the ground almost simultaneously, and a burning light from their devout eyes came out as they worshipped the projection in the sky.
The same situation was happening everywhere on Seagod Island where there were people. The inhabitants of the island did not hesitate to walk out of their rooms upon watching the image in the sky. They knelt at spacious spots and worshipped at the giant projection
The prestige of Seagod could be seen from a thousand miles away. In the sea, it was as if all living beings felt the presence of the golden projection. At this moment, the ocean suddenly became still, waves had stopped, the countless animals in the sea stopped swimming. They unconsciously turned to Seagod Islandâs direction and worshipped while trembling with congratulations. Even the Deep Sea Whale King who was about to turn into a dragon had opened the eyes and the large single eye. They displayed only surprise and dissatisfaction.
Thousands of small golden rays appeared from all over. Some of these rays came from Seagod Island, but even more came from the ocean. If Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi saw this scene, she would surely understand that this was what she meant by the power of faith. The faith towards Seagod from the creatures of the ocean.
Sustaining the rays of faith, the giant projection in the sky slowly became more and more vivid, like it was real. Dai Mubai and four others suddenly discovered in shock, that the Seagod covered in the golden armor had such a surprisingly familiar face.
âLittle San. ThatâŚ. That is Little San.â Indeed, that clear face was the exact same as Tang Sanâs, only the expression was that of unoffendable divine dignity.
Inside Seagod Hall and on Seagod platform, Tang Sanâs right hand had been raised high. The Seagodâs Trident, over twenty feet long and shining in infinite golden light, was now in the grip of his right palm.
Now, the blackness of the trident had completely vanished, leaving only brilliant golden rays. Every golden wave was clear, all the way to the tip. The main blade of the trident, two feet long and half foot wide, the Vast Sea Veil which turned into a diamond shaped gemstone was affixed to under its middle. Now, it completely changed from the original blue to gold, becoming one with Seagodâs Trident like a golden crystal.
The side blades next to the main blade were shining with the same waves of golden light as the main. The outer sides of the side blades had hooking tips on them. The sharpness of the trident blades could not be seen, because they were all superimposed by the golden light.
Thatâs right. Tang San succeeded. He managed to pull out Seagodâs Trident and pass the seventh trial. Golden light came out of his forehead and shattered into pieces. At the same time, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wuâs foreheads also released red light which broke into pieces.
Xiao Wu received the notification, âBeing present in the completion of the seventh trial, the rewards are stacked.â
Ning Rongrongâs was different from hers. This was her final trial, and her notification was even longer, âTop Class Seven Trials, final trial completed. With superior supporting abilities, you helped companions overcome one ordeal after another. Displaying surprising talent and outstanding buffing powers. With the completion of all seven trials, Seagod Island Red Class privileges received. Granting vice hierophant authorizations. Rewarding three spirit power levels. All spirit rings increase their power by five thousand years. Due to the bottleneck after finishing the trials, a special reward of a bestowed spirit ring is given. Top Class Seven Trials rewarding a single bestowed spirit ring.â
Upon hearing the notification, even Ning Rongrong herself couldnât believe it. She only took one more trial compared to Dai Mubai and others, but with this trial, she actually gained higher rewards compared to them. There were even two bestowed spirit rings. What a notion! Now she was already level 70 and needed just two more spirit rings. As with the increase of the spirit ringsâ years, her own withstandability would surely increase greatly. The two bestowed spirit rings would both have a chance to surpass hundred thousand years spirit rings!
Ning Rongrong then released her seven spirit rings without retracting her Nine Jeweled Lapis Pagoda. The previous colors were purple, purple, purple purple, black, black, black. But after the rewards of this final trial, her spirit ring colors had changed again, into purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black. Two one thousand years spirit rings and five ten thousand years spirit rings. Now she finally understood why Seagod Douluo Bo Saixiâs spirit rings were eight blacks and one red. It was because of Top Class Trialsâ rewards! Bo Saixiâs Top Class Eight Trialsâ rewards would surely have higher increase of years on the spirit rings compared to Ning Rongrong herself, thus explaining the amazing sight of having all spirit rings being above ten thousand years.
Tang San was now completely drenched in the golden light. The Seagodâs Trident in his hand seemed to be only several hundreds of kilos heavy, which wasnât much heavier than the smithing hammer he used back then. But now, Tang San was already unable to move while raising the trident high. He stood there like a man of blood. Almost every muscle burst open because of overexertion, so he could only maintain that posture as he stood.
Just before he completely slipped into coma, he vaguely heard the notification in his mind, âSeagod Seventh Trial, pull out the divine instrument, Seagodâs Trident, was passed. Rewarding Seagod affinity by fifteen percent, to a total affinity of 85 percent. You received Seagodâs Tridentâs approval, and the usage rights of Seagodâs Trident.â
Outside the Seagod Hall, the gigantic golden projection suddenly shrunk. After absorbing countless worshipping power, it turned into beam which poured through the top of Seagod Hall, straight into the Seagodâs Trident in Tang Sanâs hand. It was also at this time that Tang San could no longer hold on. He collapsed with a thump and passed out.
With his collapse, the light inside the building suddenly dimmed a lot. Especially the trident itself. In almost what was an instant, it turned back into the pitch black state before it was pulled out. A majority of it was sitting on top of him and the tail end of the handle crashed at Seagod platform. The loud sound trembled the whole of Seagod Hall.
âBrother San!â
âGeâââ
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu who responded in time, leapt towards him almost simultaneously. Xiao Wu went to hold Tang San while Ning Rongrong gripped the icy cold Seagodâs Trident in an attempt to put it away. But the trident which was crushing Tang San couldnât budge for one bit.
It should be noted that after Ning Rongrong received her reward of spirit power levels, should she absorb what would be a level 82 spirit ring, it would be level 80 in power even without absorbing. Even though she was a support type spirit master, the physical strength of a level 80 spirit master would be considerably impressive. With full strength, the power would not be less than a thousand kilos. But the Seagodâs Trident wasnât budging, giving Ning Rongrong the feeling that it wasnât a weapon, but more like an unmovable mountain. This situation proved that this thing before her would weigh up to at least several dozens of tons.
But what weirded her out was that this trident had only pressed down on Tang Sanâs broken flesh slightly. If it were really more than dozens of tons, how would it be so? Without the power to resist, Tang San wouldâve been crushed to death.
âAllow me.â Bo Saixiâs peaceful voice came out. When Ning Rongrong raised her head to look at her, she noticed that Bo Saixi knelt down beside her. To her, Bo Saixiâs strength was insurmountable. Just taking up the trident from Tang San would be as easy as grabbing air.
But Bo Saixi didnât just kneel down next to Tang San, but also carrying a heavy expression. Both her hands grabbed on the trident, and with the waves of vast soul power, she even released her own battle spirit. Eight blacks and one red, nine spirit rings came out simultaneously. In order to take the Seagodâs Trident, she appeared to be giving it her all.
âRISEâââ Bo Saixi growled in a low voice. It was clear that the massive soul power coming through her hands had wrapped around Seagodâs Trident. Just like this, it wasnât lifted in an instant, but leaving Tang San himself extremely slowly. Bo Saixiâs expression tightened, and some veins could even be seen on her forehead. She really used all her strength.
Watching this, Ning Rongrong immediately unleashed her Nine Jewelled Lapis Pagoda and released a strength buff and a soul power buff without hesitation. Two beams of colorful light were shot at Bo Saixi.
The Nine Jewelled Lapis Pagoda immediately showed its worth as the number one support type battle spirit in the world. Upon receiving Ning Rongrongâs two buffing lights, Bo Saixiâs expression became a lot peaceful, and she swiftly lifted the trident to put it next to Tang San lightly. She turned back to Ning Rongrong with some praise in her eyes.
âSenior, is this trident really so heavy?â Ning Rongrong couldnât help but ask.
Bo Saixi replied, âLeave that for after saving Tang San.â
Without the pressure of the trident, Tang San was already in Xiao Wuâs embrace. Looking at how thereâs nowhere on Tang San that was unscathed, her tears were pouring from her eye sockets as she kept on giving him her own spirit power.
Tang Sanâs right leg emanated a blue golden light that slowly covered his entire being. Blue Silver Emperorâs right leg spirit bone passive skill âUnending Wildfire, Relit With Spring Windsâ activated by itself, but the speed of healing was very slow, which displayed the severe damages on Tang Sanâs body.
Bo Saixi put one hand on Tang Sanâs chest and spirit power engulfed his body almost instantly. Her face then became extra heavy.
âHis condition is very bad. Spirit boneâs power may help him recover his flesh, but he just lost too much blood and it must be replenished. Otherwise, his life is in danger. Normal people would find it hard to survive after just the loss of one third of blood. Iâm afraid his blood loss through his hands and the bursting of his muscles would exceed 60%.â
Xiao Wu spoke without hesitation, âSenior, I will give him my blood.â
Bo Saixi glanced at Xiao Wu and patted her head with a kind look, âYouâre such a silly child. Having a beautiful life partner like you is Tang Sanâs biggest fortune in his life.â
Xiao Wu shook her head and choked, âNo. Meeting him is my lifeâs greatest fortune instead. Senior, what should I do?â
Bo Saixi looked intently at Xiao Wu, âGive me your right hand.â
Xiao Wu raised her right hand upon the words. Bo Saixi flicked her fingers, and a wound appeared on Xiao Wuâs wrist. Blood came out through it.
Bo Saixi muttered, âLetâs hope your blood doesnât conflict with his own.â
Xiao Wu spoke determinedly, âHe absorbed my spirit ring and spirit bone so he had combined with my blood. It wonât reject. Senior, save him, quick!â
Bo Saixi nodded and lifted Xiao Wuâs right hand. Xiao Wuâs blood converged into a red glob in mid-air. Bo Saixiâs divine light in her eyes released a layer of pristine blue light which enveloped Tang San. No one knew how she did it, but with the infusion of this blue light, the Blue Silver Emperor right leg boneâs restoration speed had an obvious increase. As Bo Saixi pointed around with her right hand, trails of blood then split from the glob, flowing into the many spots where Tang Sanâs skin was damaged. The blood became like a bridge between Tang San and Xiao Wu which kept sending Xiao Wuâs blood to him.
Tang San was like a sheet of golden paper as he gradually regained his complexion, while Xiao Wuâs beautiful face became more and more pale. But her eyes were glad. Bo Saixi used her search to determine Tang Sanâs physical condition and spirit sharing with Xiao Wu. She could clearly feel that Tang San was recovering at a frightening pace. It was obviously Tang Sanâs own blood taking effect.
After using up to about 50 minutes of time, Bo Saixi exhaled deeply. With a flick of her right hand, the wound on Xiao Wuâs wrist was sealed, stopping the outward flow of blood. She also poked on Tang Sanâs body a few times. Under the blue golden lightâs spread, his skinâs wounds had all healed up.
âSenior, donât stop! He still hasnât recovered! I still have a lot of blood. Please keep transfusing it.â Xiao Wu held back her powerful sense of frailty while speaking urgently to Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi frowned, âYou silly girl. You had already given him one third of your blood. If this keeps up, even you will not be able to hold up. Donât forget that your soul is just an attachment right now, and not really in your own true body. Even if you were once a hundred thousand year spirit beast, you canât sustain such a blood consumption.â
Xiao Wu spoke without a care, âAs long as he can be saved, you donât need to care about me.â
Bo Saixi spoke slightly angrily, âIf you donât care about yourself this much, will he be happy when he wakes up? Besides, you already donât have to worry about him. If someone else were to have his injuries, it would be fatal. But his survivability is too great, surpassing even me. With your blood just now, plus his own recovery, there are already no problems. Give him three days of rest at most, with that strong body of his, he will return. You on the other hand, your soul is out for too long from what I see. Time to go back.â
Upon hearing Bo Saixi saying that Tang San was out of danger, Xiao Wu relaxed herself. She swayed around and almost fainted. Ning Rongrong quickly put a restoration sausage into her mouth.
Xiao Wu forced herself to swallow it and said, âSenior, Rongrong, when he wakes up, please donât tell him that I gave him my blood, or else heâll be hard on himself.â
Ning Rongrongâs eye sockets went red, âXiao Wu, youâŚ..â
Xiao Wu begged sadly, âRongrong, Iâm begging you. I donât want him to suffer. Iâm going to be alright anyway. Promise me, donât tell him ok?â
What else could Ning Rongrong say? She simply nodded, but her heart couldnât help but respect Xiao Wu, while deeply moved by the love between Xiao Wu and Tang San at the same time. (No wonder Brother San would give everything for Xiao Wu. Between them, itâs soâŚ..)
Xiao Wuâs eyes then turned to Bo Saixi. Bo Saixi sighed, âWith a wife like this, what more can the husband ask for. You should hurry back to your body. I will keep it a secret for you. Maybe itâs a good thing that you give him your blood.â
Xiao Wu finally relaxed completely. With a flash of red light, her soul returned Tang Sanâs body, hiding within his spirit bone and spirit ring, falling into deep sleep immediately. Her body also laid limp in Ning Rongrongâs lap, passing out.
Tang Sanâs coma this time lasted for a whole dayâs time before he woke up from it. Bo Saixiâs judgement concerning his physical condition was correct. The damage he took wasnât just skin and muscles. Because he overexerted, which damaged even his organs, bones and veins, he would need a long time to recover indeed.
What Bo Saixi didnât know was that Xiao Wu once ate Crystal Blood Dragon and the deity item of all deity items, âRed Intestine Severer of Reminiscenceâ, so there was no way it could be compared to normal red blood. A whole one third of it was transfused into Tang San. Although most of the medicinal potency was absorbed by Xiao Wu, what was left in the blood alone had greatly increased Tang Sanâs recovering speed. That âRed Intestine Severer of Reminiscenceâ could bring the dead back to life and give flesh to skeletons!
Waking up from deep sleep, Tang San only felt sore and powerless all over. He was slowly coming to, feeling the cold stone floor as his thoughts slowly returned.
The interior of Seagod Hall was already not the darkness when he first came. The ceiling was filled with marvellous faint golden waves. Although the lights werenât strong, they could barely light up the buildingâs interior. These waves spread all the way down the walls, and Tang San could also feel his surroundings having the same light.
The sense of powerlessness was surely caused by the side effects of Blue Silver Emperor right leg spirit boneâs âUnending Wildfire, Relit With Spring Windsâ. After all, he sustained severe damages earlier. But, being able to pass the seventh trial, he was still very excited. Especially when he could clearly remember what he heard before he passed out. The most important sentence was that he received the approval of Seagodâs Trident and he obtained its usage rights. For Tang San, this was no doubt a stimulant.
âGet up if youâre awake.â Bo Saixiâs voice echoed around.
Tang San sat up and just saw Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi was sitting not far away in front of him. Between them was the Seagodâs Trident which almost took his life. More than 20 feet long gigantic trident was still carrying a powerful sense of weight.
Tang San then discovered after sitting up, that all over the Seagod Hall, there were faint golden waves, including Seagod platform below him and the other platforms around it. They made this simple interior look incredibly magnificent.
âCongratulations, Tang San. Having passed Seagod Seventh Trial, you had begun to truly receive Lord Seagodâs approval.â Bo Saixi smiled at him as she spoke.

Tang San sighed and said, âSenior, I understand now. I could receive Seagod Nine Trials and the approval of Seagodâs Trident, all because of Vast Sea Veil, isnât it. You should know this as well. But why didnât you take it from me? I believe you would have a way.â
Bo Saixi shook her head slightly and said, âNo, you are Lord Seagodâs chosen one. How can you be replaced by anyone else? I didnât have the power to take the heart of Seagod from you as well. It chose you. This wasnât just luck, but also you fitting Lord Seagodâs requirements. Itâs also a fact no one can change.â
Seagodâs heart? Tang Sanâs eyes were looking at the diamond shaped gem in the head of the trident. Now, as the trident became black again, the gem also became transparent as well. Not even a trace of the dignity during when the trident was being pulled out could be seen.
âSeagodâs heart? This is Vast Sea Veilâs true name, isnât it.â
Bo Saixi spoke as she held her own chin, âIndeed. Seagodâs heart is not just the core of Seagodâs Trident. It is also the core of Lord Seagodâs inheritance. Since the day you obtained it and received its approval, Lord Seagodâs trials for you had already started. From the heart of Lord Seagod, I saw many things. It didnât just save you once. For an example you know of, do you still remember the Whale King you met when you were on your way here?â
