Chapter 274 The Light of the Sea God
Poseidon's sudden appearance surprised everyone.
"Greetings, High Priest." The seven Sacred Pillar Douluos bowed to Poseidon.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Sea God." The Shrek Academy students also bowed to Poseidon. Li Luochen had already told them that the High Priestess of Sea God Island was a Limit Douluo, an extraordinary woman.
You need to show them enough respect. After all, Shrek Academy's motto is "It's never wrong to be polite."
At this moment, the Shrek Academy students got a close look at the Limit Douluo, Poseidon.
Poseidon appeared to be 1.8 meters tall, her entire body shrouded in a bright red robe, with her long, sea-blue hair flowing down her back, almost touching the ground.
Her delicate features make her look no older than thirty. Her beauty comes more from her temperament: noble, elegant, and warm.
In her right hand, she held a three-meter-long scepter. The scepter was golden, just like the gold that had appeared in the sky earlier. It was engraved with magical patterns, and the head of the scepter had a diamond-shaped protrusion that resembled a spear. Five inches below the tip of the spear, a diamond-shaped golden gem was inlaid.
Judging solely by her appearance, she is undoubtedly a rare beauty, and her temperament is truly unmatched by anyone. Even Pope Bibi Dong, whom the Shrek Seven Devils had once met, paled in comparison to her in terms of charisma.
What's most astonishing are her eyes—clear blue, deeper than the ocean, their gentle vicissitudes seeming to have witnessed the passage of time. How could a thirty-year-old woman possess such eyes?
"Greetings, High Priest." Seahorse Douluo bowed slightly and paid his respects to the woman in red robes. "This subordinate has failed to fulfill the Sea God's instructions. Please punish me, High Priest."
The woman in the red robe smiled slightly, and the sea within the sea seemed to ripple because of her smile.
"It's not your fault. This is the first time I've ever seen something like this either."
Her gaze swept around, and everyone present seemed to feel her watching them. But the red-robed woman's gaze finally settled on Dugu Yan, or rather, on the golden trident mark on her forehead.
"Young lady, I have waited for over a hundred years, and finally, in my twilight years, I have met you. May I tell you your origins?"
Listening to her voice up close, Dugu Yan immediately felt her heart beat faster. It wasn't because of her beauty, but because her voice was filled with a touch that came from the depths of her soul.
She looked like an ordinary human woman, but Dugu Yan knew very well that the woman in front of her was someone who was on par with Qian Renxue's grandfather, Qian Daoliu, and it was said that she had even defeated Qian Daoliu.
Is this what Limit Douluo is like? It's truly terrifying. It really did delay my cultivation; otherwise, I should have reached the Title Douluo level by now.
"Junior Dugu Yan, a Soul Master from the Mainland, the First Wife of the Sky-Supporting Douluo, the Granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, and an 87th-level Battle Soul Douluo."
Dugu Yan clasped her hands together and bowed slightly to Poseidon to show her respect.
However, to her surprise, Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, appeared beside her with a slight movement, and did not accept her courtesy.
"No need for formalities. The First Wife of His Majesty Qingtian? It seems His Majesty Qingtian has more than one wife. You are already so outstanding, why is he so promiscuous? He really is not a good man. Never mind, this is your business, it has nothing to do with me."
Poseidon frowned as she spoke.
Li Luochen, watching from the sidelines, felt this was a bit awkward. "You're like Poseidon, going all out right up to me, huh? What do you mean I'm not a good man?!"
Poseidon quickly came to her senses and looked at Dugu Yan. "Dugu Yan, look at me."
Dugu Yan gazed into Poseidon's eyes, her gaze calm and unwavering.
Poseidon solemnly said, "From this moment on, you must remember that on Poseidon Island, no one is worthy of your courtesy. Including myself."
"Huh?" Dugu Yan looked at the Sea God Douluo in surprise. She didn't understand why this top expert would say such a thing to her.
Poseidon turned to Seahorse Douluo, "Eurasia, pass on my orders. These people are all honored guests of this island until they complete the Sea God's test. No one is allowed to neglect or offend them."
Aside from not helping them complete their trials, do your best to meet their conditions. "Stay in your Seahorse City." "Yes," Seahorse Douluo Ouya replied with utmost respect. Although he hadn't seen this Grand Elder for ten years, on this Seagod Island, Poseidon was the supreme being. Only the Seagod himself could surpass her.
"And you lot, come to my Sea God Temple for a meeting tomorrow!" Poseidon said, glancing at the six Saint Pillar Douluos who were watching the show on the other side.
"Yes! ×6"
Poseidon's gaze fell on Dugu Yan again, and he smiled and nodded at her, "Very good, very good. I believe you will be able to pass the Sea God's test."
If you need anything, you can ask Eurasia. Remember, you must complete at least one of the Nine Trials of the Sea God each year. Otherwise, all your previous efforts will be in vain.
Dugu Yan replied, "I will not fail!"
Poseidon's expression changed, and Dugu Yan only felt a blur before his eyes. Poseidon was already only a few centimeters away from him. Her originally kind eyes suddenly turned cold, and the unparalleled pressure made it impossible for Dugu Yan to even breathe.
Li Luochen arrived at Dugu Yan's side in an instant, using his soul power to resist Poseidon's pressure.
"Dugu Yan, you must remember, never let the thought of failure cross your mind. I can tell you, your test is related to the survival of Seagod Island. If you fail, the consequences will be far more than just death. They will be far more terrible than death."
Hold on to your current belief!
After saying that, Poseidon glared at Li Luochen and then left.
"That's too powerful. Just that wisp of her aura just now made me feel like my body was about to explode," Oscar said, still shaken.
Just then, Seahorse Douluo's voice rang out, "Distinguished guests, please follow me."
A rich blue light emanated from the hand of Seahorse Douluo Ouya. With a slight wave, a strange scene unfolded: seawater surged up from one side of the Sea Within a Sea, condensing in mid-air and transforming into a bridge in a short time. It didn't lead to where they had come from, but rather to the deeper forests of Seagod Island.
Seahorse Douluo led the Shrek Academy students to Seahorse City.
Li Luochen also decided to rest for one night before taking the test. On the way, Li Luochen asked Dugu Yan what the first test was.
Dugu Yan replied: "Cross the Light of the Sea God. Hint: Proceed to the core forbidden area of Sea God Island. Climb the first 666 steps of the forbidden area. This is considered passing the test. You may withdraw during the journey. Time limit: one year."
Li Luochen was completely bewildered. What the heck? Why is it level 666? Wasn't Tang San level 333? Is this some kind of differential treatment?
However, upon closer reflection, Dugu Yan's strength is far beyond what Tang San from the original timeline could compare to.
After asking around, Li Luochen found that everyone's assessment involved traversing the Light of the Sea God, even Dai Mubai's purple-level assessment.
Dai Mubai climbed the sixty-four steps.
Those who take the exam for the fourth time climb eighty-one steps.
The six examinees climbed 108 steps.
The seven examinees climbed 136 steps.
The eight examinees climbed 256 steps.
