Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 439: Xiao Wu: Third Brother, please don't revive me!

Douluo Star, Seagod Island.

Watching Tang San undergo the assessment, the Holy Pillars and High Priest Poseidon all fell into deep thought, their eyes filled with confusion.

The first of the Nine Trials of the Sea God: Crossing the Light of the Sea God.

This is the basic assessment at the Black level and above, and some Purple level assessments may also be included.

Everyone was very familiar with this assessment.

It's worth noting that even Poseidon's Red Level Eight Trial required climbing over two hundred steps.

But for Tang San, it became a staircase leading up to 170+ floors...

All the holy pillars fell silent. The black-level test they had received was to climb more than a hundred steps.

However, Tang San's Nine Trials of the Sea God were not much more difficult than theirs.

Could it be that the Nine Trials of the Sea God are equivalent to their Black-level assessment?

"A cover-up!"

Everyone roared inwardly, their faces showing anger, but they were helpless.

This was the first time they questioned Poseidon, the god of the sea, and even though Poseidon had previously backed down, their faith remained unshaken.

But now, knowing it's all a cover-up, my faith has begun to waver.

Previously, there was no comparison, and they didn't have much of a stake in the situation, but things are different now.

They too possessed the potential to become gods, yet they were defeated by a mere land-based Soul Master…

"Great Offering, I, the Seahorse, am the first to object!"

Seahorse Douluo couldn't hold back any longer and shouted at Poseidon.

At this moment, he became the mouthpiece for all the holy pillars.

Nobody believed it!

"The sea god must have his reasons for doing this..."

A hint of confusion flashed in Poseidon's eyes; clearly, she too was wavering.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have given the seahorse or the other titled Douluo an explanation, but would have simply dealt with this "traitor."

You disagree?

Questioning the Sea God's decision is enough to classify Seahorse Douluo as a traitor.

"Great Elder, we can all complete assessments like this, but you have even completed the Red-level assessment, which is even more difficult than this..."

"Moreover, you are a descendant of the sea god; if it were to be the successor to the divine position, it should be passed down to you!"

"And... instead of letting you..."

At this point, Sea Dragon Douluo stopped talking. As the strongest person below the Grand Elder, he knew more than anyone else.

The appearance of the successor to the Sea God foreshadowed Poseidon's death...

As if remembering something, Sea Dragon Douluo continued, "I, Sea Dragon, am not convinced!"

"If this brat falls into my hands, I will definitely kill him and let the Sea God see his choice..."

Before he could finish speaking, Poseidon glared at him, and that single glance was enough to stop Hailong from complaining.

"I……"

I know what you mean, but don't do anything foolish.

"You should know that our achievements today are all thanks to the sea god."

Poseidon said calmly, but his mind was in turmoil.

No matter how they test him, Tang San will eventually have to fight them; that's inevitable.

If they hadn't held back and had gone all out, they might have been able to kill Tang San.

Furthermore, Poseidon had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with Tang Chen, this descendant, which made her unable to suppress her murderous intent.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, a look of shame appearing on their faces.

His achievements and status today are inseparable from his own efforts and the help of the sea god.

They were not ungrateful people, and their upbringing did not allow them to betray the sea god.

But as long as they are human, they will inevitably have selfish desires, and even these titled Douluo are no exception.

Hailong lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Poseidon.

Poseidon was his teacher, but he had some inappropriate thoughts about him.

It's a pity that the flowers are intentional, and the water is ruthless.

Poseidon naturally knew about the Sea Dragon Douluo's feelings for her, but he was ultimately a step too late.

Knowing that Sea Dragon Douluo was preparing to hunt down Tang San, he directly killed this inheritor of the divine power in his cradle.

As long as she doesn't complete the first eight tests, Poseidon won't die.

Poseidon couldn't bear to see her disciple go astray. Even if Tang San had to be killed, she should do it herself, instead of ruining the future of the Sea Dragon Douluo.

Tang San, who was struggling to climb, was unaware that while the Sea God was releasing the sea for him, he was also making his subsequent trials more difficult.

After all, assessments with interference and assessments without interference are two different concepts.

For example, in the Nine Trials of the God of Fire, even though he knew that Zhongli could instantly kill Du Siji and that this successor could not possibly last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the God of Fire still issued the task.

Let alone whether Poison Four Seasons could last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, even if the God of Fire himself descended, and with the assistance of a God King, it would be impossible for him to complete such a difficult task.

But Poison Season Four completed it effortlessly.

This is a task with intervention; whether it can be completed depends on whether the task objective is willing to allow the assessor to complete it.

As for tasks that no one interferes with, unless they are extremely difficult, they can still be completed with perseverance and hard work.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..."

"I will definitely bring you back to life!"

The whisper from Tang San seemed to suggest that reviving Xiao Wu was the reason he persevered.

The red spirit ring belonging to Xiao Wu was flashing and dimming, alternating constantly, like a girl sobbing.

"Third Brother, please don't revive me. Give up on the Nine Trials of the Sea God..."

"This...this assessment is simply beyond human capability."

Xiao Wu thought to herself, but she did not disturb Tang San.

Tang San's ascent looks difficult, but it's actually not simple at all.

But he reached the 103rd floor in just three days!

Everyone only saw that Tang San's task was simple, but no one paid attention to how he achieved his current results in just a few days.

It should be noted that in the original timeline, Tang San reached the hundred-plus ...

Here, he only needed three days!

The number of levels has decreased, but the difficulty of the basic levels has not decreased. Reaching this level in just three days is enough to show that Tang San is much stronger than Tang San in the original timeline.

These were things that others hadn't noticed, but Tang San had.

He completed more than half of the first test in just three days. According to his prediction, he would only need another month to complete the first test at most.

Is this all there is to the divine test?

According to Seahorse Douluo, the time limit for them to complete the first test is ten years. Just how useless would someone have to be to spend a whole ten years to complete such a simple task?

Tang San didn't know that a normal eighteen-year-old child, even a genius Soul Master, wouldn't have a very high Soul Power level, maybe a Soul Sect if he was stronger, or a Soul Venerable if he was slightly more normal.

An eighteen-year-old Soul Master can be considered a genius in some remote areas.

The gap in strength was too great, so it's not surprising that it took them ten years to complete the mission.

A land-based Soul Master who has been on Seagod Island for a year and has been able to undergo the assessment, how weak could their strength be?

This was a thoughtful consideration by Poseidon, and it was relatively fair to both sides.
