Chapter 295 Poseidon's Trident Attacks Its Master? The High Priest Risks His Life to Save Him

"Master Su, are your abs... really that hard?"

Nine students are forming teams freely, with three students as the main force and six students as assistants. The best outcome would be to form three three-person teams.

Meanwhile, the high priest Poseidon, dressed in a red robe and holding a priest's scepter, stood beside Su Ran. Although hesitant, she still asked softly with a hint of shyness.

Su Ran was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond:

"Don't listen to this pretty girl's words. She's a bit thin-skinned and hasn't compared herself to others, so she doesn't know how tough she is."

"Let me touch it, and I can verify whether it's real or fake..."

Poseidon's eyes darted slightly to Su Ran's abdomen, his mind filled with wild fantasies, stirring the heart of this century-old orphan and making her eager to try.

"Isn't this bad?"

“Isn’t Master Su a teacher? Seeking truth and being pragmatic is precisely the demeanor of a teacher. Since Master Su cannot determine whether what the student said is true or not, Xixi is willing to help Master Su seek the truth.”

"Xixi?"

"It's my nickname."

"No need, no need. Some things don't need to be so clear."

Su Ran broke out in a cold sweat. It was all so unfamiliar.

In Su Ran's eyes, Poseidon should be a person who appears gentle on the surface but is actually arrogant and indifferent, and who is devoted to his faith.

But at this moment, Poseidon spoke to him with a gentle and tender tone.

"Ok."

Seeing Master Su's indifferent expression, Poseidon had no choice but to give up, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Alas, this priest, in all my long years, has never touched a man's abs; I am truly filled with longing.

"I just don't know which of Master Su's three disciples will come out on top."

Poseidon said:
"Presumably, the immortal disciple who takes the shortest time to pull out the trident of the sea god and learns the golden halberd the fastest will be the successor of the sea god."

"If one of my three disciples were to succeed the Sea God, I wonder whether the High Priest would be happy or sad."

Su Ran watched as the nine disciples formed teams and began drawing lots to decide which group would be the first to challenge the Trident of the Sea God. His eyes, however, turned to Poseidon with a hint of worry.

Poseidon paused for a moment: "This is the mission I've waited a hundred years for, how could I be sad... I..."

As soon as she spoke, Poseidon suddenly realized what she had said, her expression changed, and she fell silent.

A few years ago, the appearance of the Sea God's successor would have been a relief to her.

But now, a master of unparalleled beauty stands before her, making her regain the heart of an eighteen-year-old girl.

Asking her to use her life to fulfill her mission, she was actually a little... reluctant, a little attached to the human world.

The High Priest of Poseidon Island, a position that sounds very prestigious, is revered by countless sea dwellers, second only to the God and above all the seas.

However, how many people know that they are actually sacrifices of the gods? Once the successor of the sea god is chosen and matures, they will use their lives to pave the way for the successor to become a god.

Poseidon's face darkened as he said:

"There's no other way; this is my mission."

"..."

"I drew number one, let's go!"

Here, the nine students have already drawn lots, and their assessment order is as follows:
①Dugu Yan (Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu)

②Shui Bing'er (Xue Wu, Gu Qingbo)
③ Shui Yue'er (Meng Yiran, Qiu Ruoshui)

The first person to step up and pull out the Trident of the Sea God was Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan appeared calm, neither excited nor depressed.

With her gaze fixed on the Trident of Poseidon, she walked step by step toward the central guardian platform, flanked by her two junior sisters, Yu Hairou and Shen Liuyu.

Su Ran and Poseidon remained silent, watching their performance with anticipation. Reaching the top floor, they faced the weapon left by the sea god. The exposed handle of the trident was about ten feet long, as thick as a child's arm, pitch black and dull, with only faint, fine lines visible on it.

Dugu Yan stepped down one level and adopted her unique Bilin Snake Step, her hands glowing with purplish-black poisonous gas as she gripped the Trident of the Sea God.

At the same time, Yu Hairou and Shen Liuyu released their martial souls. The ice crocodile bit the base of the trident and arched upwards, while the shuttle dragon, flashing with dark golden light, coiled around the trident and pulled upwards.

As Dugu Yan grasped the trident, an electric-like sensation instantly spread throughout her body. The patterns on the long handle of the Poseidon trident seemed to fit perfectly into her palm, giving her a sense of weight.

To Dugu Yan's surprise, the long handle was warm, as if blood was flowing inside.

After the Martial Soul Jade Phosphorous Serpent, or more accurately, the Calamity Serpent, it appeared behind Dugu Yan, the Sea God Trident mark on its forehead turning black and gold.

The Serpent Hand, Xingyi Fist, and Calamity Qi erupted in that instant, gradually raising the Trident of the Sea God.

A harsh scraping sound rang out, and from the edge of the triangle, the base of the heavy halberd head, about three inches wide with sharp edges, began to emerge on both sides. The real halberd head began to be unearthed, and black and gold patterns began to bloom all over the body.

hum~
The once pitch-black hall seemed to be ignited by the golden light. The hall, which had previously appeared simple and ancient, was now completely bathed in gold, the immense golden light transforming it into something extravagant. An unprecedented aura of holiness erupted from the location of the trident of Poseidon, transforming into a massive pillar of light that shot into the sky.

But the beam of light quickly dimmed again.

Dugu Yan felt the weight in her hands increase, as if the trident of Poseidon was sinking.

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and mobilized all her cultivation and skill to pull it out.

At this moment, Su Ran's expression changed slightly as he noticed something was wrong with the Trident of Poseidon; it seemed to be resisting.
This should not happen.

After all, even Tang San could have pulled it off the original development path.

With Yan'er's current strength, she wouldn't have struggled so much to pull it out.

"Humph."

Su Ran snorted coldly, his eyes narrowed, and a surge of spiritual energy broke through, directly penetrating the interior of the Trident of Poseidon. The Trident of Poseidon trembled slightly, and the next moment:
boom!
[Dugu Yan pulled out the Trident of Poseidon in six minutes.]

After descending from the Sea God Platform, Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her junior sisters Yu Hairou and Shen Liuyu:

"Thank you for your help, junior sisters. I am skilled in poisons but not in supernatural powers. Without your help, it would have taken twice as long."

"Senior sister, you're too kind. This is also our assessment; it's not like we're helping each other," Shen Liuyu and Yu Hairou said with smiles.

At the same time, their seventh test was also issued: they were granted second-level Red-rank authority on Seagod Island, granted the authority of the second priest, rewarded with four levels of soul power, and all their soul ring cultivation was increased by six thousand years.

Next up, Shui Bing'er took the stage, her hands gripping the Trident of Poseidon, which had been reinserted onto the guardian platform. An aura of ice element permeated the entire arena, lowering the temperature of the entire Poseidon Temple, and the pillar of light rose once more.

[Shui Bing'er, pull out the Trident of Poseidon, taking four minutes.]

The rewards received by Shui Bing'er's group were basically the same as those received by Dugu Yan's group, except that the age of their soul rings was increased by a thousand years.

The last group – Shuiyue'er.

Shuiyue cheered herself up. The teacher was watching, and she had to show the teacher all the hard work and achievements she had made over the past few years!
"Whoo~"

Shui Yue'er took a deep breath and followed Senior Sister Meng Yiran and Qiu Ruoshui onto the stage.

This time, the entire Poseidon Island seemed to tremble, and golden light pierced the darkness:

[Shuiyue'er pulled out the Trident of Poseidon in two minutes and fifty-eight seconds!]

The reward for Shuiyue'er's group's assessment was an upgrade of five hundred years' worth of soul rings.

……

Poseidon watched as the golden trident of Poseidon gleamed, and they actually pulled it out. She glanced at Su Ran with a very complicated expression, but still stepped forward:
"In ancient times, there once appeared a peerless genius in the ocean. He devoted his entire life to exploring every corner of the sea, wielding a trident. With his immense strength and unparalleled personal charisma, he conquered one sea race after another. After a thousand and one years, he finally unified the ocean and was revered by all sea creatures as the Sea God, creating an immortal myth."

“Children, congratulations! You have pulled out the trident of Poseidon. This means that a new Poseidon will be born among you.”

But then, something unexpected happened.

The trident of Poseidon, which had been pulled out and stood in the center of the crowd, suddenly soared into the air, flying across the dome of the Temple of Poseidon, and then rushed towards Su Ran.

Poseidon was startled and quickly turned around, shielding Su Ran with her body:

"Master Su, be careful!"
