Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 123 The God King Regrets, But I Do Not
Soon, the other candidates finally swam over. As soon as they arrived at the foot of the Sea God Mountain, they immediately felt a majestic and solemn atmosphere around them. It was as if some special energy was suppressing them. There was a heavy feeling in their hearts.

When the candidates saw that Qiangu Huangyu and Gu Yuena, who arrived first, were meditating to restore their soul power, they were not sure what to do for a moment.

"If no one is coming, I'll go first!"

One of the examinees shouted and rushed forward excitedly.

"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard. Just when the candidate rushed to the stairs, he seemed to have hit something and was bounced back the next moment.

The candidate hadn't figured out the situation yet and disappeared as soon as he left the range of Poseidon's Staircase and was teleported away.

The candidates looked at each other in silence, and saw horror in each other's eyes.

I finally swam over here, but ended up being thrown out. Wasn't it a waste of effort?

[As expected] A gleam of light flashed in Qiangu Huangyu's eyes, and he ended his meditation at the same time as Gu Yuena.

Guan Yue pondered for a moment and said, "This should be the same as the experience of Tang San's ancestors in history when they traveled through the Seagod's Light. The area covered by the Seagod's Light is like a wall full of elasticity. No matter how much momentum we have, it will be directly bounced back. There is no way to resist it."

Another candidate interrupted and said, "And according to the records in "The Biography of Tang San", the Light of the Sea God is an extremely domineering protective shield. It can rebound any physical and energy attack. Moreover, it does not rebound randomly, but only rebounds to the person who launched the attack."

Qiangu Huangyu also came over at this time and said in a deep voice, "That is to say, when we are climbing the stairs, we cannot use any skills. Otherwise, we will be backfired immediately."

"Isn't this too difficult?" one candidate couldn't help but complain.

They just wanted to experience Tang San's experience, they didn't really want to go through the Nine Tests of Seagod of the same difficulty!

Guan Yue said, "This should be the same as the first level of the Nine Tests of the Sea God. We can only climb up step by step under the pressure of the rebound. Although the attacking spirit skills cannot be used, the body protection and amplification spirit skills should still be usable. Who of us will go first?"

After saying that, Guan Yue looked at Qiangu Huangyu and Gu Yuena. They were the only three strongest people present, so if anyone was to try, they should try first.

Qiangu Huangyu was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard anything. Seeing that Qiangu Huangyu didn't move, Gu Yuena knew that she would definitely not be the first to do anything, so she had no intention of taking action.

Seeing that neither of them wanted to take action, Guan Yue understood their attitudes. In such an assessment, the later you take action, the more benefits you will gain, because the people ahead have already stepped into the trap.

"You have dealt with the soul beasts in the circular sea. Let me go first this time." After Guan Yue finished speaking, he came to the stairs, slowly raised his right leg, and stepped towards the first step.

As soon as his right leg entered the range of the stairs, he suddenly felt a strong resistance appearing in front of his leg, strongly pushing him back.

The soul power in his body circulated rapidly, and Guan Yue slowly stepped onto the stairs, while at the same time moving his body to stand on the first step.

After Guan Yue stood on the steps, she felt a huge pressure coming from all directions, squeezing her body hard, just like pressing a finger into a balloon and the concave balloon was about to pop the finger out. Her soul power also began to be consumed rapidly.

"Success!" exclaimed the candidates in the audience.

“Sure enough, all we have to do is climb up slowly like our ancestor Tang San did.” However, the next moment, two lines of tears suddenly slid down Guan Yue’s face, his brows were furrowed, and his body was shaking violently, as if he was in great pain.

"What's going on?" Gu Yuena frowned slightly, feeling a little unbelievable about the situation before her.

Not to mention Gu Yuena, even Qiangu Huangyu didn't know what happened. Qiangu Huangyu watched the entire process of Tang Fozu's deification in her previous life. She can responsibly say that there was no such part when she traveled through the Light of the Sea God!
In the monitoring room, Tai Po'e showed a ferocious smile on his face. "Ancestor Tang San had an accident while traveling through the Sea God's Light. It was Xiao Wu who risked her life to save him. This incident made Ancestor Tang San extremely regretful."

"So in order to restore Tang San's ancestor's mental journey, we simulated a special mental fluctuation. Anyone who climbs the Sea God Stairs will recall the most painful and regretful things in their hearts. Have fun, little ones."

Mr. Ma's expression was gloomy. The possibility of passing an examination of this difficulty was extremely slim. He was harming the candidates just for personal gain.

Just as everyone was hesitating in front of the Seagod Stairs, that melodious voice sounded again:

"Candidates, please ascend the Sea God Staircase immediately. If you have not ascended the Sea God Staircase after one minute, you will be forcibly teleported out and will be given zero points for this test. The countdown begins now."

The examinees' faces all turned extremely ugly, even Guan Yue looked so uncomfortable. If they were in his place, wouldn't that be a request for their lives?
But the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. No matter how reluctant they are, in order to be admitted to Shrek Academy and not be eliminated, all the candidates, without exception, stepped onto the Seagod Stairs with an indomitable spirit!
In an instant, the expressions of the examinees became extremely wonderful. Influenced by the Stairway of Poseidon, some of them shed two lines of tears like Guan Yue, and their clothes had already been wet with tears.

Some people's expressions were completely distorted, as if they were in great pain. Some people began to laugh wildly, already like crazy.

Gu Yuena stood on the stairs, and a strong feeling of regret suddenly emerged from the depths of her heart.

She seemed to see Tang San's inner regret and despair when he witnessed Xiao Wu desperately trying to save himself and throwing himself onto the Sea God Staircase, but Xiao Wu fell into the abyss.

If only I were stronger...

If only I tried harder...

Tang San's emotions from those days were constantly transmitted to Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena gritted her teeth, trying to use her powerful mental strength to forcibly suppress the influence of Seagod's Ladder on her spirit.

Climbing the Stairs of Poseidon is already extremely difficult, and coupled with the mental impact, every step is extremely difficult.

Three candidates failed to control themselves well when moving from the first step to the second step and were directly ejected and left the assessment.

Tai Po'e looked at the other examinees' embarrassed appearances and nodded with satisfaction. "Since Wanle can't pass the exam this year, you can forget about passing it either."

But when Tai Po'e saw Qiangu Huangyu, his eyes widened and his pupils suddenly contracted, "Why is she expressionless?!"

While others were still struggling on the first three steps, even Gu Yuena had just entered the sixth step, but Qiangu Huangyu had already stepped steadily onto the tenth step!

Qiangu Huangyu's expression did not change at all, as if Tang San's regret had not affected her at all.

The God King regrets, but I don’t!
