Upon hearing the Sea Horse Douluo's explanation, Tang San suddenly said, "Wait a moment, senior. You say that Mubai has no chance of passing the assessment and is certain to die. Then how did you manage to pass the assessment back in the day? As I understand it, the people on Sea God's Island must take the assessment at the age of eighteen. Could it be that you were stronger than Mubai at eighteen?"
The Sea Horse Douluo shook his head and said, "When I was eighteen, I hadn't even reached level 40. I was far inferior to him as he is now. However, there is something you must understand. The Sea God's black-grade assessment for Soul Masters of Sea God's Island is to be completed over a period of ten years. Despite this, my black-grade fourth test still led me to narrowly escape death several times. The final test that I faced was to hold out for two hours amidst a group of Devil Soul Great White Sharks, excluding the guardian Divine Beast."
