Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 285 Promising Poseidons to Poseidon

"Sea Witch, stop fooling around."

Poseidon pulled the sea witch over. She was, after all, one of the guardians of the Seven Pillars, yet she was calling a bunch of little girls "sister" all the time. What kind of behavior was that?

The other six guardians of the Seven Pillars also felt a little embarrassed. If they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have let the Sea Witch come along in the first place.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and the others really wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to. Their faces were flushed red, as if they were constipated.

"Sea Maiden Douluo, let me tell you, one of us has a martial soul that's a mermaid. Would you like to see it?"

Ye Liangchen changed the subject to defuse the awkward situation.

"Mermaid Martial Soul? Whose Martial Soul is that? Let me see."

Upon hearing that someone actually possessed a mermaid martial soul, the Sea Maiden Douluo immediately became interested and excitedly ran over to ask Ye Liangchen curiously.

"My martial spirit is the mermaid."

"Buzzing..."

"Giggle..."

Shui Yue'er understood and released her martial soul. In an instant, a silvery laugh rang out, and a mermaid appeared on her body, with six soul rings of yellow, purple, black and white slowly rising.

"Wow! It really is a mermaid."

The Sea Maiden Douluo was extremely excited as she looked at the beautiful mermaid martial soul behind Shui Yue'er.

"The fourth ring of the eternal cycle?"

Seeing this extraordinary combination of spirit rings beyond the normal age range, Hailong Douluo and the others had a question in their minds: Could this girl also be a Divine Trial Tester? Or has the continent's spirit masters already found a method beyond absorbing spirit rings?

"Girl, you're only 18 this year, aren't you?"

Poseidon walked over, reached out and felt Shui Yue'er's bone age, and suddenly felt that he had really aged. An 18-year-old Soul Emperor, where did this monster come from?

"Yes, senior, I am now a level 64 Soul Emperor." Shui Yue'er smiled sweetly.

"To have reached the Soul Emperor level at the age of 18, it feels like we've wasted our entire lives cultivating like dogs."

At that moment, Hailong, Haima, and the others felt that they were ignorant and out of touch with the times.

"What about you! Aren't you going to show us your strength?" Poseidon turned around and looked at Ye Liangchen with a smile.

The Seven Pillars Guardians also looked at Ye Liangchen with curiosity, wanting to know just how monstrous this young man who could kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was.

"I am just a lowly level 68 Soul Emperor. In front of you seniors, I am not worth mentioning at all."

"Buzzing..."

Seeing that Poseidon and his group wanted to see his strength, Ye Liangchen had no choice but to release his martial soul and soul rings.

"Wow! Handsome guy, your martial spirit is so beautiful!"

When the sea witch saw a stunningly beautiful woman in green clothes and green hair appear behind Ye Liangchen, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"I see."

Looking at Ye Liangchen's exquisite martial spirit, Poseidon finally understood why the Goddess of Life had chosen this little guy. According to the Sea God, this ethereal woman should be the Goddess of Life.

"How old is Young Master Ye this year?"

The Sea Dragon Douluo and his companions wanted to know Ye Liangchen's exact age. They were already numb to the fact that this guy had two purple and four black spirit rings.

"Xiao Chen is not even 16 years old yet."

Shui Bing'er said calmly from the side, feeling very proud.

"A Soul Emperor who's not even 16 years old?"

"Kaiba, I remember when you were 18, you were only level 38!"

"That's right! Compared to Young Master Ye, we've not only cultivated ourselves like dogs, we've cultivated ourselves like pigs."

"It seems we really are getting old and can't keep up with the changes in this world."

Hailong Douluo and the others were all shocked by Ye Liangchen's strength.

"You should have another martial soul, right?" Poseidon looked at Ye Liangchen calmly.

"Yes, senior."

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen had no choice but to release the Chun Jun Sword Martial Soul, along with that red 100,000-year soul ring.

"Twin martial souls? The first soul ring of a sword martial soul is 100,000 years?"

"Young Master Ye should be the most monstrous genius in the Douluo Continent in ten thousand years."

Hailong Douluo and others could imagine that this young man would definitely be the most powerful being in the future.

"Tell us all about your strength! Let us see just how many genius Soul Masters have emerged on the continent!"

After witnessing Ye Liangchen and Shui Yue'er's strength, Poseidon turned his gaze to Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and the others, signaling them to demonstrate their abilities.

"Shui Bing'er, Level 65 Soul Emperor."

"Jin Ling'er, Level 65 Soul Emperor."

"Xue Wu, level 64 Soul Emperor."

"Zhu Zhuqing, Level 63 Soul Emperor."

"..."

Shui Bing'er and the others released their martial souls and soul rings, demonstrating their respective strengths, with a hint of pride on their faces.

"Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Zhu Zhuqing are all at the fourth level of the ten-thousand-year soul ring, and Jin Ling'er's soul ring is actually matched with the young master's. It's unbelievable."

"Your young Soul Masters on the continent are truly outstanding."

Poseidon, Sea Dragon Douluo, and the others looked at the strength of these young people with envy. If the young people of Seagod Island were this outstanding, they would be laughing in their dreams.

Among these young people, the oldest, Feng Xiaotian, is only 26 years old and already has a soul power of level 63. The youngest, Bai Chenxiang, is 15 years old and has already reached the level of a Soul King of level 51. Such geniuses are all destined to become Title Douluo.

"You flatter me, seniors."

Shui Bing'er, Hu Liena, Feng Xiaotian, and the others smiled modestly. On Poseidon Island, they must not be arrogant.

Since Ye Liangchen had already communicated with the Sea God, the Sea Dragon Douluo group didn't ask anyone else if they were from the Spirit Hall when they saw so many outstanding young people, which relieved Hu Liena and the others.

"Senior, let us go and take the test first!"

Ye Liangchen had everyone begin the divine test, and then he would talk to Poseidon about her becoming a god.

"Alright! Let's start the assessment at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar. However, you are Soul Masters from the mainland, so the rules of Seagod Island might be a bit strict for you. I hope you are all mentally prepared."

"Eurasia, you'll be in charge of these young people's first test. Take them to the Seahorse Pillar first!"

"You six, return to your respective sacred pillars."

As the guardian of Poseidon Island, Poseidon could not go easy on Ye Liangchen and his group.

"As you command, Great Offering."

"Swish..."

Although Hailong Douluo and the others also wanted to see the divine test levels of these young people, they had to obey Poseidon's orders, so they immediately left the place and returned to their respective posts.

"Come with me over there, I have a lot of questions to ask you."

Poseidon pulled Ye Liangchen into the air and flew away into the distance.

"Where did the senior take him?"

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er watched as Poseidon took Ye Liangchen away, and they felt a little worried.

"Don't worry, the Grand Elder won't harm Young Master Ye."

"Everyone, follow me!"

Seahorse Douluo beckoned Shui Bing'er and her group to head towards the area where the Seahorse Sacred Pillar was located.

"Thank you, senior."

The thought of the upcoming divine test filled Shui Bing'er and the others with excitement.

……

"Senior, where are you taking me?"

As Poseidon carried him into the sky, Ye Liangchen couldn't understand what she wanted to do.

"Let's go for a walk on the beach. I want to ask you some questions."

Poseidon smiled mysteriously, recalling what the sea god had told her: if she wanted to change her fate, she had to get along well with this monster.

"Swish..."

Poseidon landed with Ye Liangchen on a beautiful beach and gestured for Ye Liangchen to take a walk with her.

"Senior, what would you like to ask?"

Ye Liangchen looked at the quiet environment and felt it was quite nice, suitable for a date.

"Tell me about the current situation in mainland China!"

Poseidon was unable to leave Poseidon Island, and her understanding of the division of power on the continent remained stuck in her perception from 20 years ago.

"The Spirit Hall remains the largest power, followed by the Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects, as well as the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires."

"Tianshui Academy established the Tianshui Sect. The sect leader is Bing'er's mother, whose current strength is as high as level 98. In addition, there are four female Douluo: Bing'er's grandmother, Yue'er's mother, Teacher Su Lin, and Teacher Mu Qingxue. Their overall strength is quite good."

"Senior, let me tell you, the Tianshui Sect is a super sect built on the foundation of Tianshui Academy, and it is full of female Douluo."

"As for my Tenglong Pavilion, it currently has 6 Title Douluos and 3 Super Douluos."

"Oh! By the way. In the southern sea of ​​the Star Luo Empire, there has appeared a Rakshasa Cult, a super power supported by the Rakshasa God. Its Grand Elder, Blood-Eyed Douluo, is a demigod-level powerhouse, just like you, senior. He also has five Super Douluos under his command, and its overall strength is second only to the Spirit Hall."

Ye Liangchen didn't know what Poseidon was up to, so he could only tell her about the current situation on the mainland.

"The situation on the mainland has changed so much now; it seems we were ignorant."

After listening, Poseidon was very surprised. The overall strength of the Rakshasa Sect, the Tianshui Sect, and this guy's Tenglong Pavilion were all super sects. In particular, when he heard that Shui Bing'er's mother was actually a level 98 Title Douluo, it broke his understanding. In his impression, apart from Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, no other soul master on the continent had cultivated to level 97 on their own.

"Do you know where Tang Chen is?" Poseidon asked Ye Liangchen.

"I don't know. Senior Tang Chen has been missing for decades. Many older Soul Masters outside the community speculate that he is no longer alive."

Ye Liangchen dared not tell Poseidon the truth for the time being, lest this woman's love-struck mind take over and she age instantly, which would be such a pity.

"He won't die. A Soul Master who reaches the Title Douluo level can live for 300 years. With each level increase, he can live for hundreds more years. His cultivation has reached level 99, so he can live for at least a thousand years."

Poseidon didn't believe Tang Chen would die, and even explained the lifespan of a Title Douluo to Ye Liangchen.

"Uh! Senior, you must be referring to the situation of the Sea God back then. He relied on the power of faith to sustain him, so of course he could live for thousands of years. But ordinary Title Douluos can't possibly live that long."

Ye Liangchen disagreed with Poseidon's statement; this woman's understanding of Soul Masters came entirely from the Sea God.

Is that so?

Poseidon only then realized that he knew nothing about the outside world.

"Senior, as the High Priest of Seagod Island, you may be able to live for thousands of years by relying on the divine power in the Seagod Temple, but ordinary Title Douluo cannot come into contact with divine power and it is absolutely impossible for them to live that long."

Ye Liangchen nodded and said, "To be honest, it's quite pitiful that Poseidon became the High Priestess of Poseidon Island. She has no freedom, no future, and is a true caged bird."

"I see."

At that moment, Poseidon felt that much of the knowledge he had learned from the sea god was different from that of the outside world.

"Senior, I heard that Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were both pursuing you back then? What was the process like? Could you tell me about it?"

Ye Liangchen pretended to be a curious child and looked at Poseidon.

"What's there to say? Those things happened decades ago. To me, it's like a dream, one that I may never be able to realize in this lifetime."

Seeing Ye Liangchen's gossipy expression, Poseidon couldn't help but reach out her delicate hand and gently tap him on the forehead.

"Ouch! Senior, please be gentle. You're a Limit Douluo, or you'll blow my head off."

Ye Liangchen covered his head, pretending to be in great pain.

"Alright! Stop pretending, I didn't even use any force."

Poseidon chuckled, feeling quite comfortable. He didn't know why, but the little guy's appearance seemed to bring him vitality, adding a touch of fun to his years of dull and monotonous life.

Ye Liangchen possessed a mysterious aura that was faintly visible, which made Poseidon feel very comfortable. She didn't know why, but she just really liked this aura.

"We'll leave the matter of Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu aside for now."

"The sea god mentioned to me before that you would change my destiny, but I am merely a servant of the god, destined to serve him for life. How can I possibly change that?"

Poseidon couldn't understand how this little guy could change his fate.

"That's because you hadn't met me yet, senior. Now that you've met me, becoming a god is only a matter of time."

Ye Liangchen smiled mysteriously. He was a cheat code; changing Poseidon's problem would be a piece of cake.

"Can you tell me about it?"

Poseidon felt a tickle in her heart as she watched Ye Liangchen's confident demeanor.

"Senior, due to the nature of this world, Soul Masters have reached the pinnacle of Soul Power among mortals and are unable to break through level 100. A major reason for this is that their souls cannot advance to the Divine Soul level, thus binding them and preventing them from ever breaking through level 100 in their lifetime."

"As long as the soul is the first to advance to a divine soul and break through level 100, it's only a matter of time. Hmm, however, this breakthrough to level 100 only allows one to become a priest, not a god. Becoming a god at level 100 is just the starting point in the divine realm..."

"In fact, the divine position in the divine realm is a shackle for the gods. The divine realm is like a cage. Once you have a divine position, you can never leave the divine realm. Over time, you will feel very bored, like a caged bird. You can only escape the divine realm by actively passing on your divine position."

"Senior, do you know now? The Sea God is currently bored. He told me that he was so focused on becoming a god back then that he didn't bring along many friends and confidantes. Now he regrets it to death and can only drink alone all day, feeling like each day is an eternity. So he is in a hurry to pass on his divine position and leave the divine realm to explore the starry sky."

Ye Liangchen talked to Poseidon about some issues related to becoming a god, and also told her about the current situation of the sea god.

"For us, breaking through level 100 is enough."

"When did Poseidon tell you this? He never told me any of this."

Poseidon felt that the things Ye Liangchen mentioned were too far removed from her own life.

"The Sea God left the Heart of the Sea God in the Heavenly Dou Empire. I obtained it by chance. I used my spiritual power to probe into the Heart of the Sea God and unintentionally encountered the divine thoughts left by the Sea God inside. At that time, he wanted me to become the successor of the Sea God, but I was already the successor of the Goddess of Life. Then the Sea God asked me to help him find a suitable successor, and that's how I became familiar with him."

"I see. So, who owns the Heart of the Sea God now?"

"Sister Yue'er has already gained the Sea God's approval; the Sea God's Heart resides within her."

"That girl is indeed quite talented. In fact, those seven girls around you who possess water-attribute martial souls are all very suitable to inherit the position of Sea God."

After listening to Ye Liangchen's words, Poseidon looked at him calmly, with a question in his mind: If Shuiyue'er inherits the Sea God, I will have to make a sacrifice and die. How do you solve the problem of me becoming a god?

"Senior, since Sister Yue'er is inheriting the position of the Sea God, normally your sacrifice is required."

"But with me here, I won't make you sacrifice yourself. I will help Sister Yue'er reach level 100. Generally speaking, as long as the inheritor is strong enough, they can open the inheritance gate on their own and there is no need for other strong people to sacrifice themselves."

"If all else fails, I'll talk to the Sea God and ask him to personally open that gate of inheritance. In any case, I will not let you vanish in front of us. Please rest assured."

Ye Liangchen noticed Poseidon's anxiety, so he assured her directly that he would not let her die.

"You...you even know this?"

Poseidon was surprised that the boy was thinking of her. She was deeply moved, and even her usually calm heart was stirred.

"As the inheritor of the gods, I naturally know," Ye Liangchen said calmly.

Now that he's come to Poseidon Island, Ye Liangchen naturally won't let such a beautiful woman disappear in front of him. This time, he not only has to save her life, but also cure her love-struck brain.

However, to cure this woman's love-struck mind, we must take it step by step and not rush it.

"Senior, after Sister Yue'er and the others become gods, I want to lead everyone out of Douluo Star to explore other planets. Why don't you come with us and take a look? You've spent your whole life on Seagod Island, like a caged bird. Isn't it a great pity not to see the outside world?"

Ye Liangchen painted a rosy picture for Poseidon, arousing her curiosity and giving her a goal to live for herself. This way, even if she found out about Tang Chen's death in the future, she wouldn't be unable to go on living.

Regarding Poseidon's soul enhancement, Ye Liangchen planned to find a suitable opportunity to give her the Soul-Soul Pill again. After all, things that are too easily obtained are not cherished.

"Alright. Then I'll wait for that day to come."

Poseidon now has no choice but to place her hopes on this little guy if she wants to change her fate.

"Swish..."

Just then, a beam of light shot into the sky from afar, attracting the attention of Ye Liangchen and Poseidon.

"Senior, they've already started, I'll go give it a try too."

Ye Liangchen also planned to take the test and see what kind of challenge the Sea God would give him.

"good!"

Poseidon, holding Ye Liangchen's hand, took to the air and flew towards the Seahorse Pillar.
