Chapter 1824: The Sixth Examination

The accumulation in the meantime felt more like a compression of his spiritual power. At the same time, Tang Wulin’s spiritual rank achieved sublimation during the compression process.

It would be ideal if he could rely on the crashing waves to break through to the Divine Origin. However, it remained a dream.

Tang Wulin lost track of time. After his body turned numb again, Tang Wulin’s mind gradually entered a state of clarity and emptiness.

The feeling was wonderful. His entire consciousness was immersed in his body completely. On the other hand, his body felt like a miniature world to him. As the master of this miniature world, he could sense every minute change in it.

It felt most splendid to him.

The human body was full of mystery. Despite the research done which had spanned generations, some of its mysteries had yet to be solved. Genetic research was still at an early stage in the Federation. More studies were needed in an in-depth exploration so that the research would be more meaningful.

In the meantime, Tang Wulin was akin to a scientist who was studying the human body. He sensed deeply the minute changes in every part of his body .

He had the most profound feelings of the Golden Dragon King Seals in his body.

He still had four more seals that he had yet to break. Currently, he could see the condition of the seals inside his body in a true and profound manner for the first time.

Compared to the speculation and feelings he had in the past, Tang Wulin discovered that the seals made by his father inside his body were so intriguing when he saw the structures inside his body.

He had never seen such a complex but intricate soul circuit.

If it was even a soul circuit!

The Blood Gods Great Array once gave him an immense crashing sensation when he was with the Blood Gods Army in the past. Such a majestic structure and grand soul circuit let him experience the great mysteries of the soul masters’ world.

Tang Wulin was astonished that the fifteen seals were at least ten times more complicated than the Blood Gods Great Array now that he had a detailed view of those seals inside his body. Moreover, it was so tiny in size. One should understand that the seals were inside his body. It contained a portion of the aura that was not soul power but some higher level energy which was more suitable for the Divine Realm.

Each following seal was a few times more complicated than the prior seal. At the two final seals, Tang Wulin felt as if his spirit was about to disintegrate when he glanced at it with his current spiritual rank cultivation base. One could only imagine how powerful this spiritual rank was.

It was terrifying!

‘Father! How powerful is the ultimate energy contained in the Golden Dragon King’s seal?’

Based on Tang Wulin’s current cultivation base and physical condition, he felt confident that he could break through to the fifteenth layer seal without having much problems. Yet, what about the next seal? He did not have the slightest confidence for the sixteenth layer. He would never have the courage to attempt the final two layers.

What sort of terrifying energy was it actually?

Tang Wulin fully believed that the latter seals that his father produced with painstaking effort contained energy powerful enough to be god-ranked! In fact, it was at the god rank which could not even be suppressed by the Douluo Continent plane. It might be possible that it could even surpass the entire Douluo Continent plane’s rank.

On the other hand, he understood deeply that this energy should not be triggered by any means when he transformed into the Blood Golden Dragon in the past, for it was filled with a tyrannical, destructive aura.

He observed himself meticulously, so he could understand himself better. Gradually, Tang Wulin’s understanding grew deeper. How could he make this miniature world burst forth with tremendous energy?

He had some vague understanding of it. Yet, he had difficulty sizing up what this something was.

At last, when all the external pain disappeared naturally, his spiritual will returned to the outer body soon after.

A familiar voice was heard in his ears saying, “The Sea God’s Fifth Examination – Tidal Body Forging is completed. Would you like to continue the examination?”

He returned to land. The whole surroundings was all golden in color. The pain he felt earlier had vanished. In its place was an entirely brand new feeling.

Tang Wulin felt he was already standing at the demigod rank. Furthermore, he figured he should be a demigod with extremely rich accumulations. His entire person did not elevate much apparently, yet he felt the delightful sensation of being born anew.

It was definitely a splendid feeling. He felt that the torment he endured in the fifth examination was not for nothing. What a waste it was that he did not manage to elevate himself to the quasi god realm during this examination.

Tang Wulin heaved a soft sigh and cracked into a faint smile. “I choose to continue!”

Yes, he needed an even stronger stimulation. The fifth examination had already resulted in such an impressive elevation. What would the sixth examination bring then?

“The Sea God’s Sixth Examination – The Battle of the Deep Sea. Assist the great white shark clan to fight against the killer whale clan. The examination’s assessment: kill the killer whale king and all the evil killer whales.”

A battle in the sea, huh?

After the forty-nine days of body forging earlier, Tang Wulin assumed that the forging and training would be helpful to his body and beneficial in elevating his cultivation base. At present, he was rather disappointed after finding out that the next examination was only a battle in the sea, and he would be fighting against the sea’s soul beasts.

He was a Limit Douluo now, so this battle should be easier for him as compared to the fourth examination earlier.

In the distance, a pure white dorsal fin appeared on the surface of the sea. It was swimming toward him at full speed. The lone dorsal fin appeared especially vivid against the ripples of the clear, blue sea as the golden radiance earlier had just vanished.

The firm ground that he stood on earlier had turned into an unfamiliar sea which did not seem as hostile as before. However, it still carried an intense crashing feeling. The sea was filled with tempestuous undercurrents which showed no affinity for Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin met his comrades as soon as he sank under the water.

It was a shark with a long, slim body. Its white body was beautifully streamlined such that it swam at an unusually swift speed. It took only a while before it approached Tang Wulin and began swimming in circles around him.

Tang Wulin obviously sensed its friendly intentions, so he immediately cracked into a faint smile. He reciprocated the friendly intentions via his spiritual power.

“Hello, are you a descendant of Tang San?” A pleasant female voice was heard soon after which startled Tang Wulin.

“Hello. You’re capable of speaking the human language?” inquired Tang Wulin through his spiritual power.

“Yes, of course! Isn’t it normal for a soul beast with a hundred-thousand year cultivation base to speak the human language?” The voice of the devil’s soul of the great white shark carried a tinge of playfulness.

Tang Wulin was pleasantly surprised. “Are you acquainted with my father?”

“Tang San is your father?” inquired the great white shark’s devil soul.

Tang Wulin nodded and said, “Yes! He’s my father.”

The great white shark’s devil soul came to his side and swam around him before it transmitted an even more friendly aura toward him. “I met him before in the past. It was he who helped our great white shark’s clan to defeat the bloodthirsty formidable enemy. You’re his son and that’s superb. The killer whale clan is attacking us again. Please help us to defeat them. The killer whale king has already eaten many of my sisters. Boohoo!”

She began bawling aloud halfway through her conversation.

Tang Wulin was speechless because the king of the great white sharks was behaving too much like a human. However, he was taking the Sea God’s Nine Examinations, so he would need to follow the instructions naturally.
