"I've already met the three major affiliated powers, the Dark Spirit Sect and the Ling family. Now, it's just the Tian Shui Sect that I haven't encountered yet."

Inside the room, Shui Wuya's gaze was profound, constantly recalling the words spoken by the third elder of the Ling family.

Judging from the other party's demeanor, they should be similar to the Xuanming Sect, still somewhat loyal to the Shui family.

But what would the Tian Shui Sect be like?

Shui Wuya shook his head, not dwelling on it further, and continued to concentrate his spiritual power. In his mind, a large mass of spiritual power condensed into a tangible entity, forming a gray-white sphere.

It looked somewhat like the remnant soul form of Illuok.

According to his estimation, it would take several more months to condense the embryo of the spiritual flower.

A wave of spiritual fluctuations emanated from the room.

...

Ten thousand years ago, at the Tian Shui Academy.

[Ice God Divine Assessment Stage One Passed.]

[Reward: Soul Power level increased to 60, all soul ring durations increased by 500 years!]

Having successfully completed the first stage of the Ice God's divine assessment, Shui Bing'er received the rewards from the assessment.

Feeling the increase in her soul power level and the duration of her soul rings, Shui Bing'er was overjoyed.

The process of the divine rank assessment was almost absent from any records, so all of her experiences were entirely novel and unknown.

...

When Shui Bing'er, from ten thousand years ago, successfully received the rewards for passing the first stage of the Ice God's divine assessment, the system's voice appeared in Shui Wuya's mind in the present.

[Shui Bing'er's destiny has changed. You have gained the authority to adjust the difficulty of Shui Bing'er's divine assessment.]

Shui Wuya, who was pondering the three major affiliated powers, was startled. He instantly guessed that Shui Bing'er had successfully completed the first stage of the Ice God's divine assessment.

But unexpectedly, he had gained the authority to adjust the difficulty of her divine assessment. What was this?

The next moment.

The information about Shui Bing'er's second stage of the Ice God's divine assessment automatically appeared in Shui Wuya's mind.

[Shui Bing'er's Ice God Divine Assessment Stage Two: Kill 10-999 sea soul beasts over ten thousand years old. You can choose the difficulty of the assessment before it begins. The higher the difficulty, the greater the rewards of the divine assessment.]

Shui Wuya quickly understood the rules for using the authority to adjust the difficulty of the divine assessment. However, since this matter concerned Shui Bing'er herself, he thought he should discuss it with her.

"Ancestor, I have gained the authority to adjust the difficulty of the Ice God's assessment. Your Ice God's second assessment is about to begin..."

Shui Wuya immediately found Shui Bing'er and explained everything about obtaining the authority to adjust the difficulty of the divine assessment.

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er was first stunned, obviously not expecting Shui Wuya to gain such authority.

"So, the greater the difficulty of the assessment, the greater the rewards, and vice versa?"

After a moment of thought, Shui Bing'er spoke.

"Yes."

Shui Wuya responded.

"Lower the difficulty of the second assessment to the lowest standard."

Shui Bing'er made a decision immediately.

It wasn't that she didn't have the ability to hunt down 999 sea soul beasts over ten thousand years old, but the sea was vast, and although there were many sea soul beasts, even if Shui Bing'er found one such beast every day, it would take nearly two and a half years to hunt down 999 of them.

In that case, the speed at which she obtained the Ice God's divine rank would undoubtedly be greatly extended.

It was better to choose the lowest difficulty standard first and become a god before anything else.

"Alright!"

Since the other party requested it, Shui Wuya also complied with Shui Bing'er's opinion, just as he had expected.

"Using the authority, adjust the difficulty of Shui Bing'er's second assessment to hunt down 10 sea soul beasts over ten thousand years old, to complete the Ice God's second assessment!"

Shui Wuya immediately utilized the assessment difficulty authority.

The next moment, a burst of light emanated from the artifact in Shui Bing'er's hand, and the content of the Ice God's second assessment appeared.

[Ice God's Second Assessment: Hunt down 10 sea soul beasts over ten thousand years old.]

With the appearance of the information for the second assessment, Shui Wuya's spiritual power was depleted, and his consciousness returned to his body.

Shui Bing'er had already grown accustomed to Shui Wuya's sudden disappearances. She put away the artifact and got up to leave the room.

Her first task was to obtain the spirit of the sixth soul ring.

When she informed the vice-deans of the Tian Shui Academy about her breakthrough to the Soul Emperor level, both of them were astonished.

Shui Bing'er's rapid growth exceeded their expectations time and time again.

At the same time, the divine assessment posed another challenge; hunting down ten thousand-year sea soul beasts was not an easy task.

To ensure that Shui Bing'er smoothly obtained the sixth soul ring and completed the divine assessment, the Tian Shui Academy immediately reported the news to the other three major academies, restricted to the deans only.

Having experienced various upheavals before, the four Elemental Academies were now extremely united.

Moreover, whether it was among the young soul masters or among the teachers of various academies, Shui Bing'er was regarded as the leader.

That night, the deans and vice-deans of the four academies gathered, surrounding Shui Bing'er in the middle of the group, and left the city under the cover of night.

Although others couldn't intervene in the divine assessment, it didn't mean they were useless.

Even if they couldn't directly hunt, helping to investigate information and providing a safe battlefield for Shui Bing'er and the soul beasts was still possible.

Nowadays, Shui Bing'er, who displayed extraordinary talent, was the hope of the four academies.

Even though they were within the territory of the Star Luo Empire, they wouldn't allow any accidents to happen to Shui Bing'er.

At the same moment, in a primitive jungle.

Having experienced the upheaval in the Martial Soul Hall and being taken away by Tang Hao, Tang San was currently wielding the Haotian Hammer under a mountain stream waterfall.

What he was cultivating was the Haotian Sect's Scattered Wind Hammer Technique!

"Xiao San, remember, only with strong strength can you gain the right to speak in the world."

Tang Hao sat on a huge rock beside the waterfall, his mouth uttering words of encouragement.

Tang San didn't respond. The sweat on his forehead mixed with the waterfall water, and his determined expression revealed a hint of fierceness.

In the Star Dou Great Forest.

Perched on the shoulder of the hundred-thousand-year Titan Ape was a seemingly delicate figure.

It was none other than Xiao Wu, one of the Seven Devils of Shrek.

Beside the Titan Ape, there was also a huge soul beast with a bull's head and a snake's body, the hundred-thousand-year Sky Blue Python.

After Tang Hao rescued Xiao Wu and Tang San from the Martial Soul Hall, she left Tang San's side at Tang Hao's request.

Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, every evening, she would gaze affectionately towards the east day after day.

Martial Soul Hall.

"Ghost, Chrysanthemum."

Inside the golden hall, Pope Bibi Dong sat high on the golden throne, her face showing an extremely cold and glamorous expression.

"Here, Your Holiness."

Ghost and Chrysanthemum, the two Titled Douluo, responded and walked out, kneeling at the jade steps.

"Take someone to the Elephant Armor Sect, the Holy Dragon Sect, and the Wind Sword Sect!"

In Pope Bibi Dong's tone, there was an unquestionable dominance and ambition, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She had waited too long to overturn the entire continent, and the Martial Soul Hall had prepared for too long!

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

Ghost and Chrysanthemum respectfully accepted the order, their expressions extremely reverent.

Qianxunji, do you know when you see the Martial Soul Hall that you've longed for being destroyed by the flames of war, will you regret the decisions you made back then?

A trace of hatred appeared in Bibi Dong's glamorous expression.
