Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

"This place is actually the Temple of Poseidon?"

Lin Mu surveyed the pitch-black Sea God Temple, a strange glint in his eyes.

Although Qian Daoliu's usual place was also simple, it was at least filled with an aura of light, a million times better than this Sea God Temple.

Generally speaking, there should at least be some blue light symbolizing the ocean inside the Temple of Poseidon.

The result was a dark and gloomy hall. Living in such a place for a long time would be a form of mental torture.

It is undeniable that the deep sea is indeed pitch black, but not all creatures live in the deep sea, especially since people need to live in this sea god's temple!

A normal person would probably have a mental breakdown if they lived in this place for half a year.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu's gaze fell on Poseidon in front of him, his eyes filled with a hint of pity.

Comparatively speaking, Qian Daoliu's treatment was much better than Poseidon's. Not only could he leave Wuhun City, but the Douluo Palace was also a more suitable place to live than the Sea God Palace.

It is evident from all aspects that although Poseidon is outwardly a highly revered deity, he is actually imprisoned on the island of Poseidon.

That's bad enough, but they also live in this godforsaken place on weekdays.

An unsuspecting Soul Master might mistake it for the land where the God of Darkness or some evil god passed down his legacy.

"Tang San, come forward."

Poseidon's soft voice came from the front, echoing in the dark hall.

Upon hearing this voice, Tang San immediately turned to look at Lin Mu and said respectfully, "Master, we're going to take the assessment now."

"Yes, we'll wait for you here."

As he spoke, Lin Mu released Ye Lingling's soft little hand, gesturing for her to follow Tang San and Xiao Wu.

After walking a distance, Tang San led Ye Lingling and Xiao Wu to the Sea God Platform, where they met the kind-looking Poseidon.

Next, Poseidon recounted to them his experiences before becoming a god.

Then he talked about Tang Chen. Although Tang San wasn't very interested, he listened patiently.

From another perspective, Poseidon's fate was sealed the moment she obtained the Red Level Eight Trials, and after becoming the High Priestess, she lived a life that was the same day after day.

Perhaps the few years she lived with Tang Chen were as exciting as half of her life.

After a while, Tang San finally arrived in front of the Trident of the Sea God. This time, there were no restrictions, and he could use all his power.

However, he did not intend to use the power of the Demon King.

If we ask the King of Ten Thousand Demons for help, we might anger the Sea God.

This is, after all, a divine artifact, and one that symbolizes the majesty of the sea god. The sea god would certainly not allow outsiders to interfere.

As for Ye Lingling and Xiao Wu behind him, they were basically of no use except for treating his injuries and cheering him on.

Even so, with the support of his full set of soul bones, Tang San was still able to pull out the Trident of the Sea God.

In an instant, the entire Poseidon Mountain trembled, and a dazzling golden light shot into the sky from the Poseidon Temple, its intense radiance enveloping the entire Poseidon Island.

At the same time, the seven sacred pillars on Poseidon Island also lit up.

Seven beams of golden light of varying thickness shot out from all directions, converging with the golden pillar of light in the center to form a golden phantom image of the sea god.

At this moment, all the soul masters on Seagod Island felt the power of the sea god and knelt on the ground in devout reverence.

However, if they look closely...

This golden statue was not the sea god they had previously worshipped, but a "brand new sea god" with a face exactly like Tang San's. With the completion of the seventh trial, Ye Lingling and Xiao Wu had finished all the trials.

The two received essentially the same rewards: not only was they rewarded with level three soul power, but they also received two divinely bestowed soul rings, and the age of the soul rings was increased by five thousand years.

Furthermore, they obtained red-level access to Poseidon Island, which means that both of them are qualified to succeed as the High Priest.

However, Lin Mu would definitely not let Ye Lingling be the chief priest here; being the chief priest of Seagod Island was too much of a hardship.

From beginning to end, he was just there to fleece the sea god.

Now that the goal has been achieved, there's no need to think about this obligation. Once the third sister truly succeeds as the Sea God, there will definitely be no need for a successor for tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, Poseidon Island must undergo some reforms, at least it can't be as old-fashioned as it is now.

After completing the seventh trial, Tang San could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud, immediately losing consciousness, while the Trident of the Sea God pressed down on him.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Wu and Ye Lingling, who were closest to him, immediately went up to try and take the Trident of Poseidon.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't move this magical artifact even a fraction of an inch.

This trident of Poseidon weighs 108,000 jin (approximately 54,000 kg), and even Poseidon, who is a Limit Douluo, could only barely move it.

"let me."

A voice that brooked no refusal rang out, and Lin Mu appeared beside Poseidon at some point, grabbing the shaft of the Trident of Poseidon.

Although Lin Mu was holding the halberd with one hand, the pressure on Poseidon suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mu gave a low shout and stood the Trident of Poseidon upright. If he were to use both hands, he could even lift it up.

It should be noted that Lin Mu did not use his martial soul; he relied entirely on his soul power and brute force!

Looking at the scene before her, Poseidon was shocked. This guy's power was so strong that it completely overturned her understanding of Soul Masters.

Lin Mu supported the Trident of Poseidon with one hand to prevent it from falling over again.

At the same time, he turned to look at Ye Lingling and said calmly, "Lingling, you help Xiaosan with her treatment."

With Lin Mu by her side, Ye Lingling could focus on treating Tang San.

Before long, Tang San regained consciousness. Before him stood Xiao Wu, who was crying with tears streaming down her face. Beside her was his master, who was holding the Trident of the Sea God, and Ye Lingling, who was treating his injuries.

"Here's your Trident of Poseidon, mistress."

Seeing that Tang San had woken up, Lin Mu stepped forward, holding the Trident of the Sea God, and handed it to him.

Although Tang San's strength was far inferior to Lin Mu's, he had gained the approval of the Sea God Trident, which weighed only 108 jin in his hands.

After confirming that Tang San was unharmed, Ye Lingling prepared to absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring.

"Lingling, don't rush to absorb the soul ring. After you've fused this right arm soul bone, then absorb this divinely bestowed soul ring."

Lin Mu took out the right arm soul bone of the Demon King from the soul tool and handed it to Ye Lingling.

Aside from life-attribute soul bones, plant-attribute soul bones are the most suitable for Ye Lingling, especially since this is a 500,000-year-old soul bone, which can greatly enhance Ye Lingling's physical strength.

After some time, Ye Lingling not only fused with the soul bone of the Demon King, but her eighth soul ring also reached 100,000 years.

Just then, a faint light entered Ye Lingling's brow, forming a simple tree-shaped mark.

Almost simultaneously, all three divine tests that Lin Mu had obtained disappeared.

Instead, it was the divine test of the God of Destruction! (End of Chapter)
