Chapter 103
At dawn, the first rays of sunlight gently caressed Poseidon Island, landing precisely on the Poseidon Temple atop Poseidon Mountain. That solemn golden light instantly blanketed the entire mountain range, as if draping Poseidon Mountain in a sacred glow, bathing all living things in the vibrant morning light, radiating a burst of vitality.
Zhou Yu and his companions defeated the Sea Dragon Douluo and successfully passed the fifth trial.
However, their sixth test was to withstand the attack of the Sea God Douluo Poseidon for the time it takes to burn an incense stick.
When Xiao Bai learned that Zhou Yu and his group were going to challenge the Sea God Douluo Poseidon today, he personally led five members of his clan to see them off.
Of course, in her words, this is likely the last time.
"Zhou Yu, I'm going back. If you succeed this time, remember to let me know when you get to the beach."
Xiao Bai gave everyone a deep look, then turned and swam away with her five clansmen.
"Are you all ready?"
A calm and serene voice drifted over, causing Zhou Yu and the others to become serious.
The six people lined up in a row, looking towards the direction of Poseidon Mountain.
A red figure descended from the sky. As always, no one knew how she appeared. The Sea God Douluo Poseidon had already landed in front of them.
Compared to before, she had fewer smiles on her face and more seriousness.
Looking at the goddess before him, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh, "The day I complete the Nine Trials of the Sea God will be the day she perishes!"
Suddenly, he stepped forward and said, "Senior, I have a request!"
Upon hearing this, Poseidon was slightly taken aback, and replied, "Go on!"
"I want to represent everyone and challenge my seniors!"
Zhou Yu said firmly.
"..."
Upon hearing this, not only Tang San and the others, but even Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, showed a look of surprise.
She asked seriously, "Are you sure?"
Zhou Yu nodded and replied, "Confirmed!"
Poseidon smiled faintly, looked at Zhou Yu, and said, "Alright! I accept your request!"
Despite their doubts, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others knew that numerical superiority was not the way to victory against the number one soul master in the world.
Therefore, they tacitly approved Zhou Yu's suggestion.
Before the assessment began, Zhou Yu said, "Senior, may I have a word with you in private?"
Poseidon nodded slightly, then walked toward the magnificent gates of the Temple of Poseidon.
Zhou Yu followed closely behind, and only after Poseidon stopped and turned around did he say with a solemn expression, "Senior, are you planning to use this assessment as an opportunity to kill me legitimately?"
A glint flashed in Poseidon's eyes, and her sharp aura made Zhou Yu grunt.
Then, she said softly, "Years ago, I thought Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu would be my greatest rivals. We were both exceptionally talented; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to cultivate to the level of a peak Douluo. When I first met you, although I was somewhat surprised, I thought that even with your talent, you were at most on the same level as us. I didn't understand why the Sea God chose you. In my opinion, you had already reached the pinnacle of the Eighth Trial. However, you received the Ninth Trial of the Sea God. For the first time in many years, jealousy welled up in my heart."
Zhou Yu already knew all of this.
He went straight to the point, saying, "I know, and senior has another reason to kill me! You are the High Priest of Seagod Island, bearing the heavy responsibility of finding the new successor to the Seagod. If I successfully pass the final test, you will have to sacrifice yourself to me. This is the duty and mission of the High Priest."
"..."
After hearing Zhou Yu's words, the High Priest of the Sea God Douluo, who had cultivated his soul power to the level of harmony between heaven and man, actually experienced unstable soul power fluctuations.
She asked incredulously, "How do you know all this...?"
Zhou Yu's expression darkened. He didn't answer the question, but solemnly said, "Senior, if I have a way to complete the Ninth Trial of the Sea God, and you don't have to sacrifice yourself to me, would you be willing to accept it?"
"..."
Poseidon's eyes suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, as radiant as stars.
After a moment of silent contemplation, she couldn't help but let out a long, deep sigh: "Although I don't know what your solution is, you seem to have such a deep understanding of the responsibilities and mission of the High Priest of Seagod Island..."
She paused, then continued, "If... there really is a way to have the best of both worlds, I'm willing to accept it!"
Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, reached an agreement with Zhou Yu, and with that, Tang San and the others successfully passed all six Black-level trials.
Next, Zhou Yu's seventh test was to pull out the trident of the sea god.
Upon arriving at the magnificent Sea God Temple, the guardian Douluo of the Seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God were already standing there waiting for them.
Zhou Yu brought Ning Rongrong with him to participate in the seventh test. The two bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, seniors!"
Entering the Temple of Poseidon, it was pitch black inside.
There wasn't a single window in the entire hall, so it received no light from outside. The hall felt very empty, and there were no buildings in sight.
After taking only a few steps, Sea Dragon Douluo stopped and respectfully said inside, "My lord, Zhou Yu and Ning Rongrong have been brought here."
"Okay, you can go now."
Poseidon's voice came from inside.
She sat cross-legged in the center of the first level of the platform, her palms facing upwards, each hand forming a strange gesture, her eyes closed.
"Zhou Yu, come forward."
Poseidon's soft voice echoed through the empty hall.
"Yes."
Zhou Yu agreed and strode forward, looking calmly at Poseidon.
If she wanted to kill him, it would be a piece of cake. Since he was already here, there was nothing to worry about.
After passing through the outer platform, Zhou Yu led Ning Rongrong to a stop five meters away from Poseidon.
The two bowed and greeted, "Greetings, seniors!"
Poseidon smiled kindly and said, "Before we begin the seventh test, let me tell you a story about the ocean. Do you know how big the ocean is?"
"I know! The ocean is four times the size of the land, which means the ocean is equivalent to four Douluo Continents in size."
Zhou Yu answered without hesitation.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Poseidon fell silent.
"In that case, let's begin the assessment!"
At this moment, Poseidon had stepped aside, her gaze fixed on the trident of Poseidon.
"My soul power level has reached level ninety. As long as I pull out the Trident of Poseidon, I will definitely be able to complete the Nine Trials of Poseidon!"
Zhou Yu walked heavily, step by step, toward the stage.
