It turns out that there are also conditions for becoming an agent of the overlords in the sea, and maintaining the status of an agent is also subject to assessment.

The giants of the three seas in the East China Sea are not at harmony with each other, but they are unanimous in this matter.

Once every thirty-three years, they will jointly hold an evaluation event, and only those who pass will continue to enjoy the status of agents, and if they fail, they will be replaced by other candidate family sects.

The overlord of the East China Sea has not changed in the past few thousand years, so this rule has continued.

Over the years, in the battle for agency power, the Yu family has kept it for the longest time, but it has also missed several times during this period.

For example, the pirate East China Sea Star only rose more than a hundred years ago to get the agency, and the other agent is declining, and it is estimated that there is a high probability that he will not pass this assessment.

According to the rules set by the overlord of the sea, the agent is not allowed to touch the goods that are traded, and can only extract a certain percentage of the transaction as a reward, even so, due to the large amount of long-lasting relationship, the agency is still hot.

If it weren't for the candidate's proximity to the sea and some other specific conditions, the sects on the mainland would join the competition.

In recent decades, the development momentum of the East China Sea Star has been rapid, and it has the momentum of faintly overpowering the Yu family.

The development of any family sect has highs and lows, the Yu family is currently in a period of scarcity, the older generation is old, and there is no too decent successor among the younger generations, and it coincides with the year of assessment, so the idea is on the merchant and the butcher.

During the assessment, the three families will each send nine people to participate in the assessment, with the goal of obtaining the token of the next phase of agency, including three each of Yaochi, Xuanzhu and the powerhouse of the reincarnation realm.

According to the earliest rules that have not been changed, agents can find someone to help with the fist, but the quota of foreign aid is limited to no more than three people, one each of Yaochi, Xuanzhu and the reborn powerhouse.

Up to now, as a pirate organization, the East China Sea Star Sea Fishy Gang can invite people to join the gang at any time, and there is no problem of foreign aid, only the Yu family and another family need to invite outsiders with non-clan surnames to help.

There are a lot of people rushing to help, but considering that this time the Tu family's eldest young man, the second young merchant and the eldest grandson Shang Jinshu have all come to the island, there is naturally no shortage of strong people to protect them, and they can not only borrow their strength but also use this to set the transaction object, so why not kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, the Shang Tu family will not refuse.

Hua Lanting also thinks that it is good, it is better to be able to win openly and rely on strength, than to compete by conspiracy and small actions.

After discussion, Bao Jianbo wanted to protect Shang Chenxi closely, and the other merchant of his own family, the powerful Shang Shuowang of Yaochi, and the strong man of Xuanzhu, Shang Liuqiao, took action, and the task of protecting Shang Jinshu was handed over to the Elder Xunzhen who was unwilling to come forward, and the third foreign aid from the rebirth fell to Hua Lanting's head as a whole.

They originally thought that they would have to determine the foreign aid candidates of the three realms through a competition with the Tu family in advance, in that case, Hua Lanting would very likely have to fight with Tu Xiang, who was also in the high-level and martial and belligerent realm.

Later, the Yu family explained that there was no need to compete in advance, but to compete for the quota of foreign aid to participate in the assessment on the spot.

The overlords of the sea have been in a state of sleep for many years, and they rarely appear in the shallow sea when they are active, so they have set up a formation built on a small island, the formation will surface on time, and then there will be a portal outside the island, and only those who can pass the stress test of the corresponding realm portal can enter the island.

After the three parties agreed, another day passed, and the Yu family almost went out, and the fleet sailed to the depths of the sea.

The merchant masters and the people of Vientiane Gate followed.

There were also a lot of people from the Tu family, but they didn't see the principal Tu Xijun in the crowd of the Tu family.

After Niu Kelian investigated, as expected, although Tu Xiang was the son of the Tu family, he was willing to risk his life as foreign aid, and he wanted to grab a place in the birth realm with Hua Lanting.

After sailing for two hours at sea, the fleet came to a halt in the open sea.

Around the same time, the Fishy Gang and another flotilla also arrived, and the three sides waited at anchor at a distance.

By noon, the cloudless sky was slowly starting to become overcast, and the wind was blowing, and the waves were getting bigger.

Suddenly, everyone felt the waves of the sea becoming more and more violent, and the ship was bobbing up and down, undulating in the crests and valleys of the waves.

In the distance, there seemed to be a dull sound under the surface of the sea, which gradually became rumbling.

The people of the Yu family are okay at this time, after all, they are all people who beg for a living on the water, they have experienced many storms and waves, and some old people have also seen the real scene of the formation used in the assessment, but some of the four people in Vientiane Gate have slightly changed color.

In the past, they would use teleportation arrays to cross the sea, and most of them went to sea in the near sea, so they had never witnessed the terrifying sight of manpower and sometimes poverty when the sea was powerful.

Again, this is just a prelude.

After a while, the sound in front was as loud as muffled thunder, and raindrops the size of beans fell on the sky, and the wind and rain were pouring for a while.

There was a muffled bang, and under the gaze of everyone, a small hill emerged from the bottom of the water, and it grew larger and larger, and it was actually a natural island that burrowed out from below and rose up.

As the outcrop increases, the suction of the waters around the island causes the wind and current to reverse, and the island is gray and unclear.

Luckily, the fleets of the three families were far enough away that they would have had to be sucked over and collided.

For half an hour, it was said to be a small island, after all, it was an island, and a behemoth surfaced, towering and stopped, and it was moving.

The wind and rain slowly subsided, and fog rose around the island, making it difficult for everyone to see the scenery on the island.

Brother Yu, the head of the Yu family, took out a charred black branch, which was the token of agency.

Lightning strike wood is a tree that has been struck by lightning in the process of growth but survived and did not die, and it is better to have a tree that has been safe and sound after many lightning strikes, also known as evil wood, because it has a domineering and full of righteous and yang thunder and lightning breath and imprints, which produces spirituality, and is considered to be the absolute nemesis of yin things.

The best time to get the lightning strike wood is near the stinging solar term, when you get it, you can't cut down and destroy the whole tree, you can only take a part, and you can't fall to the ground, you must catch it with a red cloth and worship it.

The principals of the other two families also raised their respective lightning strike logs.

The goal of the three is to obtain new Lightning Strike Wood from the island as a token, and the old one will become invalid.

After the three lightning strikes appeared, the fog on the island moved, and after it was closed, part of it condensed into the shape of a huge snake head, and the light in the eyes was bright and extinguished, and slowly opened its big mouth, spitting out dozens of fog circles, which was the portal into the island.

The circle flew to the front of the fleet, spreading out in three adjacent areas, up and down, staggered and up, and the circle exuded an aura of coercion of varying strengths and weaknesses.

Hua Lanting and they had already learned in advance that everyone who was eligible to participate had to choose a portal that suited them to be tested, and those who could break the door entered, unable to enter, or when the number of entrants reached the upper limit, the rest were excluded.

The Yu family and the merchants and butcher powerhouses who were vying for entry qualifications had already flown up one after another, and they chose the nearby teleportation light gate corresponding to their own realm and began to break in.

Hua Lanting also spotted a weakly suppressed portal under the outside and flew over, and the same is true for Tu Xiang, who competed with him for the place of foreign aid, the two of them compared to see who broke the goal first, and the one who was late lost.

Zhuge Yun has learned to drive a water spider with Xunzhen in the past few days, and he and Lin Xian were shocked and Yi Liunian were not at ease, and the three of them chased after them from the sea.

Hua Lanting burst into the portal, and immediately felt a strong pressure pressing from the front and all around.

After carrying his body hard for a while, he found that in addition to testing the cultivation of those who wanted to enter, he had to release his true qi to resist, and there was also water vapor as sharp as a blade that pierced his body like a needle, and from time to time there were spells containing gold and stone, civil engineering, firelight, and thunder and lightning elements, which tested his defense level more comprehensively.

Glancing at it obliquely, Hua Lanting's gaze passed through the transparent water vapor on the outer wall of the cyclone, and saw that Tu Xiang not far away took off a bracelet on his wrist, which enlarged and rotated in different directions, protecting Tu Xiang and helping him block the coercion.

There are a lot of magic weapons for the wealthy butcher.

Seeing this, the thunder dan in Hua Lanting's abdomen moved, and the green light overflowed, forming a layer of armor outside his body, and there were fine thunder and lightning brilliance crackling slightly, plus he was already wearing a talisman suit, and immediately kept the coercion out.

This is the defense method that Yun Yiqi designed for him after he returned from the Houtu Continent according to Lei Dan's evolution, named "Green Thunder Portable Armor", which is not thick, but it can crush most types of attacks that try to enter the body.

Relying on his armor, Hua Lanting advanced step by step towards the depths of the portal cyclone, and it was observed that he and Tu Xiang were on par with each other.

Hua Lanting was thinking about what tricks to use to speed up without consuming too much, so as not to affect the performance of strength after entering, when he suddenly felt something different behind him!

Lin Xian on the water spider below him could see clearly that a gray water column several zhang long was rolling and sweeping from the side, and there was a vague figure in the thick dragon-shaped head of the water column, which was driving the water column to pounce on Hua Lanting's back.

Someone sneak attacked!

Regardless of whether Hualan Ting can block it or not, the speed of advancement will inevitably be affected, and Tu Xiang will take the lead.

The three were furious.

It's just a matter of losing qualifications, I'm afraid that Hua Lanting will be injured under the coercion and water column.

Zhuge Yun reacted the fastest, and suddenly made a strong shot, and the "Yunyun Spirit Thunder" soared into the sky, and the thunder and lightning superimposed the sharpness of the gold spell, catching up with the dragon head of the water column.

The faucet paused, shrunk a circle, and still castrated.

Lin Xian's frightened qi arrow followed closely.

This time, only one arrow was fired, and the bowstring popped out and exploded, and the air arrow was invisible in the air, and almost instantly entered the head of the water column and exploded.

The water column stagnated for two breaths, and the gray water vapor became thinner and more transparent, revealing the people inside.

It's Jin Ttori of the Sea Fishy Gang!

Jin Qu is a person who must be revenged, a few days ago by the four young boys of the Vientiane Gate forced to retreat made him angry, this time after seeing the water spider and the portal of Hua Lan Ting, he was hot-headed, and did not hesitate to risk the consequences of being punished by the gang rules, gave up the opportunity to enter, and launched a sneak attack from the adjacent side, to kill Hua Lan Ting under his men to vent his anger.

Zhuge Yun and Lin Xianjing were strong last time, but now the two of them have their own tricks, temporarily blocking the forward momentum of the water column.

However, Jin took the cultivation of the Xuanzhu Realm and placed it there, and the crisis of Hualan Court had not been resolved.

Yi Liunian lacked long-range attack methods, and was unwilling to be left behind, so he hurriedly said: "Zhuge and Xian are shocked, send me up!"

Zhuge Yun and Lin Xian were shocked and pushed together, Yi Liunian was thrown up, he flashed a few more times in the air, and reached the back and bottom of Jin Zhuo, who was still going to attack.

Yi Liunian released the "Extreme Dao Liunian" quasi-Dao domain, and at the same time swung obliquely with the golden wrong knife in his hand, aiming at Jin Yuan's two feet.

Knife slashing is not the goal, this is Yi Liunian's new half-trick that is not yet complete when he first peeks at the door - space devouring.

If this move is successful, it can not only open up a spatial rift, which can not only allow him to temporarily survive, dodge and not cope with the attack, but also surprise the enemy into it.

This kind of spatial rift is not a spatial plane of another space-time dimension in the strict sense, but only a secondary low-dimensional subordinate subspace in the same space, but the cutting force of any cross-space connection is extremely terrifying.

Yi Liunian has only practiced until he barely tore a spatial gap.

Jin Zhizhi was in Hualan Court, and he did not regard Yi Liunian, who could not get out of the reincarnation realm, as a great enemy, and suffered a loss under negligence.

When he felt severe pain, fortunately he withdrew in time, but the blood was drenched and the foot bones were badly injured, and if he slowed down, this right foot was gone, and he couldn't find it back.

The three of them attacked in relay, and finally dragged Jin Take's footsteps.

However, Hua Lanting was still disturbed, and Tu Xiang in another place had already rushed into the portal with all his strength.

The rebirth of foreign aid is limited to one person, and Hua Lanting has no chance to enter, and he is pushed out by the portal cyclone.
