Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 221 Ah Yin Repays a Kindness for Her Son

"Greetings, High Priest."

Upon seeing Poseidon's sudden appearance, Seahorse Douluo immediately bowed in respect.

A moment later, Poseidon gracefully stepped forward, her kind gaze fixed on Tang San, or more precisely, on the golden trident mark on his forehead.

“Young man, I have waited for over a hundred years, and finally I have met you in my twilight years.”

As he spoke, Poseidon glanced at Tang Chen out of the corner of his eye, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected that the successor he had finally waited for would be his great-grandson.

Although Tang Chen was fortunate enough to obtain the inheritance of the Asura God, he failed the test and his days were numbered.

"Junior Tang San greets Senior."

Out of respect, Tang San bowed to Poseidon.

However, the high priest Poseidon subtly appeared beside him in an instant, without accepting his courtesy.

Just as Tang San was surprised, Poseidon solemnly said, "As the successor of the Sea God, no one on Sea God Island is qualified to receive your courtesy, including myself."

Upon hearing this, all the other land-based Soul Masters, except for Lin Mu and Tang Chen, were taken aback.

Especially Yu Xiaogang and the others, who traveled thousands of miles to Seagod Island to obtain the divine inheritance, but unexpectedly Tang San got it instead.

"This sea god is clearly targeting the Fire Phoenix Soul Master on purpose!"

"If I had known this would happen, I should have let Hongjun absorb the water attribute soul ring back then. As long as he transforms into a water phoenix, he will definitely be able to obtain the inheritance of the sea god."

Looking at Tang San enjoying preferential treatment, Yu Xiaogang's face twisted with jealousy.

If his disciple obtains the Sea God's inheritance, he can easily deal with Seahorse Douluo and even make Seahorse Douluo kowtow and apologize.

Unfortunately, fate was jealous of his talent, and God gave him no chance to turn things around.

Seemingly sensing the malice in Yu Xiaogang's gaze, Seahorse Douluo stepped forward and reported to Poseidon:

“High Priest, this good-for-nothing has no soul power, yet he wants to be tested by the Sea God. This is clearly a desecration of the Sea God.”

Upon hearing this, Poseidon's expression changed, and her gaze instantly turned icy cold.

In an instant, Yu Xiaogang was so frightened that he trembled, cursing the Seahorse Douluo for being petty.

In order to save his own life, he quickly explained, "Senior, I never intended to offend the Sea God. I originally had a considerable level of cultivation, but I was framed by a villain and had my cultivation destroyed."

Upon hearing these words, Yu Tianheng was furious. This old bastard dared to distort the truth.

Just as he was about to defend himself, Poseidon spoke up.

"Seagod Island does not welcome land-based Soul Masters. Your Soul Power is insufficient to pass Lord Seagod's test. You are given the opportunity to leave Seagod Island today, or else..."

Before she could finish speaking, Poseidon's cold gaze said it all.

Seeing that his emotional appeals were ineffective, Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded. Did the soul masters on Seagod Island have no compassion at all?
He was just an ordinary person with no soul power. If he left Seagod Island, any sea spirit beast could easily take his life.

A moment later, a thought suddenly popped into his mind, and he pointed to Lin Mu as if grasping at a lifeline, and hurriedly said, "Senior, he also did not pass the Sea God's test."

Upon hearing this, Poseidon paused for a moment, glancing at the composed Lin Mu, unsure of what to do.

There was no way around it; Lin Mu already possessed the inheritance of a deity, and it seemed he had three, making it impossible for him to accept the Sea God's test again, let alone be banished from Sea God Island.

After all, he was the future teacher of the Sea God, and his status was far more noble than that of the High Priest. After a moment, Poseidon's eyebrows relaxed, and she said calmly, "He is a distinguished guest of our Sea God Island, so naturally he cannot be compared with him."

Yu Xiaogang was furious at this statement, as it was clearly an insult to him.

Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun stepped forward and pleaded, "Senior, he is my teacher and has been of great help to me in completing the assessment. Please make an exception for me."

Upon hearing this, Poseidon hesitated for a moment.

After a moment, she chose to back down, stating firmly, "You can stay, but you can only live by the sea and are not allowed to move around freely."

Yu Xiaogang was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but saving his life was the most important thing at the moment.

Things change every thirty years; only by staying alive can one have a chance to turn things around.

Next, Poseidon entrusted the task of entertaining Lin Mu and his group to Seahorse Douluo, while selectively ignoring Ma Hongjun and the other two.

Led by Seahorse Douluo, Lin Mu and his group arrived at Seahorse City. Although it was not as large as a city like Hanhai City, it had everything it needed.

After entering the city lord's mansion, Seahorse Douluo gave some instructions and then returned to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.

As one of the seven guardians of the sacred pillars, Seahorse Douluo cannot leave the Seahorse Sacred Pillar for too long. He usually cultivates on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, and the City Lord's Mansion is more like a decoration.

The city lord's mansion has three floors. The third floor was Seahorse Douluo's room, which he gave to Tang San to live in, and Tang San then gave it to Lin Mu.

The third-floor bedroom has a large bed, just right for Lin Mu, A Yin, and Ye Lingling, while the others stay in rooms on the second floor.

After assigning the rooms, Tang San turned to Lin Mu and asked, "Master, the assessment starts tomorrow. Do you have any other plans?"

Because the assessment period was so long, even with his mother taking care of him, the master inevitably got a little bored.

In response, Lin Mu smiled faintly and said, "Just take care of yourselves. I will take Ah Yin back to the Heaven Dou Empire in a few days."

Before coming, Lin Mu had already decided that after sending them to Poseidon Island, he would stay for a few more days and then return.

After all, it would take several years to complete the assessment, and he couldn't stay on Poseidon Island forever. Besides, at his speed, traveling to and from Poseidon Island wouldn't take much time at all.

Moreover, Gu Yuena also needs his nourishment.

Seeing that his master did not intend to stay any longer, Tang San's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he quickly cheered up and said, "Master, I will definitely complete the Sea God's test as soon as possible and go back to reunite with you and Mother."

"Xiao San, don't be too hasty. I will bring Ah Yin to Seagod Island when I have time."

Lin Mu put his arm around Ah Yin's slender waist and looked at Tang San, giving him instructions.

Afterwards, Lin Mu took Ah Yin to the bedroom, while Tang San and the others checked their assessments in the hall.

Aside from riding the wind, their first test was to cross the light of the sea god, though the difficulty varied.

In the room on the third floor, Ah Yin sat on Lin Mu's lap and said softly, "Ah Mu, Xiao San was able to gain the Sea God's approval thanks to your help. I want to repay your kindness on Xiao San's behalf."

Before she finished speaking, Ah Yin slowly stood up and then squatted down again.

Lin Mu was already used to Ah Yin's way of repaying him. He even felt that Ah Yin liked doing it this way, so he deliberately made up an excuse.

After a long while, Ah Yin wiped the stains from the corner of her mouth, her expression a blend of innocence and allure.
