"Speaking of which, little San, what's your soul power level now?"
After helping Tang Sui get her dignity back, Dai Mubai remembered Tang San's level.
Tang Sui also looked over curiously.
Remembering that when her brother found her before, his externalized soul power aura was not weaker than hers.
Speaking of this, a genuinely happy smile appeared on Tang San's clear and handsome face, "I'm level 84 now."
Tang Sui, who was still stuck at level 83, was stunned, "Huh? Brother, you're already level 84?!"
The smile on Tang San's face grew even thicker, "Yes, after more than twenty years, I've finally won against you once."
"Oh wow!" Ma Hongjun teased Tang Sui, "Sui Sui, you're now a true 'little sister'!"
Tang Sui raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Then, Fatty, do you dare to call me that?"
Ma Hongjun froze, touched his nose sheepishly, "Perhaps not. I'm naturally ranked below you and Third Brother, so I'm your dearest little brother~"
Towards the end, Ma Hongjun winked at Tang Sui.
Tang Sui scoffed, indifferently swatting away the attack of loving gaze.
Looking at the harmonious and joyful atmosphere, Bai felt a little envious.
Bai wagged his tail and said, "Now that the fourth trial is completed, shall I carry you all back?"
No one had any objections.
The majestic Sea God Shark group began to return.
"Speaking of which, Boss Dai, after getting your reward for the fourth trial this time, your soul power should be level 79, right? You'll reach level 80 before long, and then you can have Sui Sui bestow the most suitable soul ring for you."
Tang San, sitting on Bai's back, started chatting with his companions.
Dai Mubai, on the back of another Sea God Shark, nodded, "Indeed. My current soul power level is already 79. But I'll have to wait until our fifth trial is over to break through to level 80. By the way, little San, have you looked at your fifth trial yet?"
"I glanced at my trial earlier when you and Sui Sui woke up. I think our trials this time will probably be different. Hurry up and check yours."
"Rongrong, you all check yours too."
Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, the others nodded and began to check the content of their fifth trials.
Tang San also closed his eyes, a strand of spiritual power converging towards his brow.
A golden light screen gushed out from the mark on his brow, and a dazzling golden card materialized and flew into Tang San's hand.
Tang San looked down, and upon seeing the content of the trial, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Xiao Wu, who was beside Tang Sui, flashed and instantly teleported to Tang San's side with a momentary soul skill, leaning in to read out the fifth trial on the card for him:
"The Fifth Trial of the Sea God: Challenge the Seven Saint Pillar Guardians. Time starts from the challenge of the first Saint Pillar Guardian. There is no limit to the number of challenges. Complete all challenges within thirty-six hours. Defeat the seven Saint Pillar Guardians to pass... This, defeating seven Titled Douluo in three days?!"
Xiao Wu's expression changed drastically.
"Not just Titled Douluo, but Sea Douluo," Tang San said with a wry smile, looking at the card in his hand, and then turned to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, what's yours?"
Xiao Wu pursed her lips, "I need to defeat the Sea Turtle Douluo. There's no limit to the number of challenges, and no more than 2 people can participate in each challenge. The assessment period is one year."
Ma Hongjun, after reading his fifth trial, exclaimed, "Xiao Wu jie, what a coincidence, my examiner is also the Sea Ghost Douluo."
He'll have a comrade!
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the golden card in her hand and said, "I need to defeat the Sea Woman Douluo."
Oscar held his card, a look of melancholy on his face, "My examiner is an old acquaintance, the Sea Horse Douluo."
Dai Mubai exhaled, "My examiner is the Sea Spear Douluo."
Ning Rongrong's expression became even more bitter, "My fifth trial requires me to assist Boss Dai and the others separately to pass their trials. Only after Boss Dai and the others have all passed their trials will I be considered to have passed."
Ma Hongjun, who suddenly grasped the key point, turned his head sharply, "Wait, didn't Xiao Wu jie's trial have an additional participant limit? If Rongrong's trial requires her to support us in five battles separately..."
Xiao Wu sighed, "That means I can only team up with Rongrong. Otherwise, even if I pass the trial, Rongrong won't."
Ma Hongjun was instantly petrified, "How can this be—!"
Tang Sui shook her head and sighed, "Your fifth trials seem to be assessing your individual combat abilities. Thinking long-term, if you can pass the fifth trial, it will be of great benefit in future battles against strong enemies on the battlefield."
Oscar leaped onto the back of the Sea God Shark where Ning Rongrong was, crouched down to comfort Ning Rongrong, who was sitting slumped on its back, and then looked at Tang San, "Our fifth trials are already very (censored), but compared to little San needing to defeat seven in three days, it's nothing."
Dai Mubai mused, "Although there is a huge gap in our levels and Titled Douluo, with the best soul ring combinations and Rongrong's amplification, I believe there's a great chance of passing smoothly. Even for little Ao, with sufficient preparation of the Mirror Image Intestine, with a few more attempts, passing should still be possible."
Tang San, however, held a different opinion, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think. Don't forget what I said earlier, they are not just Titled Douluo, but Sea Douluo."
This is the same logic as a phoenix fallen into water is worse than a chicken.
Dai Mubai, who suddenly understood, his expression changed immediately.
Bai, who had been a silent observer, spoke up at this moment.
"Do you need my help?"
Tang San lowered his head in confusion, "You?"
Bai said proudly, "I mostly know the strength and fighting styles of the Seven Saint Pillar Sea Douluo. I can be your sparring partner. Unlike during your second trial, my strength is not restricted now. So theoretically, I can simulate the various levels of strength possessed by the Seven Saint Pillar Guardians, making it easier for you to become familiar with their fighting styles, etc. What do you think?"
Everyone exchanged happy glances.
"That would be excellent. Thank you, Bai."
"Hehe, no need to thank me. Helping you grow is also helping me and the entire Sea God Island!" Bai wagged his tail.
Tang Sui looked at everyone, thought of something, and said, "Then I'll also be your sparring partner. It just so happens that I also want to try and see if I can fully master my domain ability during this time."
If she remembered correctly, one of the Seven Saint Pillar Guardians was very skilled at creating mental illusions similar to ape masks.
Facing stronger mental pollution in advance might also help improve their ability when facing that Saint Pillar Guardian. This wave could be a case of fighting poison with poison.

Although this article is not marked "no-cp," the main story focuses on the growth of the "adopted children" and indeed has no romantic pairings. Perhaps there will be extra chapters with popular pairings after everything has settled down.
