Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 288 Curing Poseidon's Love-Obsessed Mind

"Xiao Chen, you've already reached level 70, why don't you absorb a spirit ring first!"

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er reminded Ye Liangchen that the little guy had become a Soul Saint, and the two sisters were overjoyed.

"Absorbing spirit rings isn't urgent. Let's go to the forbidden area of ​​Seagod Island to break through the barrier first. Everyone only has one year to complete the first test, so we need to hurry."

Ye Liangchen explained his plan. Everyone had already started the Divine Trial, so they couldn't waste any more time. As for his seventh soul ring, Ye Liangchen planned to make a 100,000-year soul ring, which might take several days and couldn't be completed in a short time.

"Thank you for your help, senior."

Upon hearing Ye Liangchen's plan, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er immediately asked Poseidon to arrange a divine test for everyone.

"Alright then! Everyone, follow me!"

Poseidon beckoned Ye Liangchen and his group to head towards the forbidden area of ​​Poseidon Island.

She had originally wanted Seahorse Douluo to arrange for these young people to stay in Seahorse City so they could have a good look around, but now that these young people were in a hurry to complete the Divine Trial, there was no need to let them waste their time in Seahorse City.

"Senior Seahorse, we still have several thousand kilograms of dry rations and rice on our big ship. Please send someone to retrieve those grains and distribute them to the villagers, otherwise they will spoil if left unattended."

Before leaving, Ye Liangchen remembered that the grain on the large ship had not yet been taken out, but it could not be left for too long, so he simply gave it to the nearby villagers.

"Several thousand kilograms of grain? You don't want them yourselves?"

When Seahorse Douluo heard that these young people had brought thousands of kilograms of grain on their sea voyage, he thought to himself: Good heavens, they are really extravagant!

"Many of our grains are dry rations that can be eaten directly and cannot be stored for long. If we carry them with us, we won't be able to finish them in a short time, and they will spoil."

"Senior, please help us distribute these to the nearby villagers; consider it a gift from us to everyone!"

Shui Bing'er and the others chimed in, all agreeing that Ye Liangchen's method was good and could create a positive impression.

"Euya, this is a small token of Xiaochen's and the others' appreciation. Go and take care of it right away."

"Afterwards, you will summon the other six members of the Seven Pillars and bring them to the Temple of Poseidon for a meeting tomorrow."

Poseidon was very pleased with Ye Liangchen's actions. This little guy gave away several thousand kilograms of grain to the nearby villagers all at once. He was really generous!

"As you command, Great Offering."

Knowing that Shui Yue'er had initiated the Nine Trials of the Sea God and would become the next Sea God, Seahorse Douluo certainly needed to let the other guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars know as well.

"Everyone, on behalf of the villagers, I would like to thank you all for your gifts."

Seahorse Douluo thanked Ye Liangchen and his group, and then immediately rushed to Seahorse City to send people to the port to transport grain.

……

The Seahorse Sacred Pillar is 200 miles away from the forbidden area of ​​Poseidon Island. In order to help everyone get there quickly, Ye Liangchen summoned his Martial Soul to give them an assist, so that they could run faster.

"I'll give everyone a boost."

"Second Soul Skill, Blessing of Life."

"Ladies and gentlemen, run! Try to reach the forbidden area of ​​Poseidon Island before dark."

Ye Liangchen's support skill can now increase all attributes of teammates by 60% for ten minutes, which can at least allow these Soul Masters who cannot fly to run a long distance.

"Wow, this feeling is amazing! I feel like I can fight a Soul Saint now."

With the support of Ye Liangchen's auxiliary skills, everyone felt like they were about to fly.

"Judging from your strength, you are quite capable. Xiao Chen and I will go ahead and wait for you at the pavilion ahead."

"Swish..."

Seeing that Ye Liangchen's soul skill was incredibly powerful, instantly multiplying the strength of these young people several times over, Poseidon grabbed Ye Liangchen and flew away, intending to learn more about the little guy's martial soul.

"That's way too fast!"

The Limit Douluo was too fast; he disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Shui Bing'er and her group bewildered in the wind.

"Run! The status effect will disappear soon."

"Swish..."

The group immediately sped off at breakneck speed.

"Why did she take Brother Ye away again?" Jin Ling'er sensed that something was wrong with Poseidon.

"Alright, Ling'er, don't overthink it, let's fly!"

"Chirp chirp..."

Shui Bing'er summoned the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, grabbed Jin Ling'er, and flew directly into the sky.

"Swish..."

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and Bai Chenxiang immediately activated their respective flying skills and took to the sky.

"Hey, wait for us!"

"Having flying skills isn't impressive!"

Shuiyue'er, Xuewu, Huowu, Jinyue'er, Huliena, and a group of other beauties who couldn't fly were so angry that they stomped their feet.

"Ladies, we'll run with you."

Feng Xiaotian, Qingming, and a group of other boys rushed over to comfort the girls.

The scenery on Poseidon Island was breathtaking. The group ran quickly while admiring the island's beauty, and their mood was wonderful.

"Youth is wonderful!"

Poseidon, with Ye Liangchen at the moment, flew to the top of a high mountain a thousand meters away. Watching these handsome men and beautiful women speeding across the ground, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Senior, you're not old at all!" Ye Liangchen reminded him from the side.

"Xiao Chen, I've lived for almost 120 years, do you think I'm not old?"

Poseidon couldn't help but laugh when he saw this extraordinary young man praising his youth.

"Of course you're not old. You look just like an 18-year-old beauty."

"Your beauty is unparalleled, and your demeanor is elegant. There are few women in the world who can compare to you."

Ye Liangchen calmly said, "This woman can be considered one of the top-ranked goddesses in the Douluo world!"

"You're so sweet-talking! I'm nowhere near as good as you make me out to be!"

Poseidon was both amused and exasperated by Ye Liangchen's praise, but she was secretly pleased. Women love sweet words, and even a cold goddess like Poseidon was no exception.

"I'm just stating the facts. You are an absolutely stunning beauty, otherwise why would you have captivated Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen so completely?"

Ye Liangchen found this woman quite interesting; she seemed embarrassed after he praised her.

"Alright, let's not talk about those trivial things between me and them."

"Let me see your martial spirit. When you applied the auxiliary skills to those young people earlier, I felt their combat power increased several times instantly."

Poseidon changed the subject to avoid the little guy constantly praising his own beauty, which would make him feel embarrassed.

"Buzzing..."

"My goddess martial soul has both offensive and support skills..."

Seeing that Poseidon was curious about his martial soul, Ye Liangchen had no choice but to show it to her and explain it to her.

"I thought your martial soul was purely healing-type before, but I didn't expect it to also have such powerful offensive skills."

Poseidon was very surprised after learning about Ye Liangchen's Goddess Martial Soul, especially his second and fifth soul skills. One was a super support skill and the other was a super healing skill, comparable to divine skills!

"Senior, I'll provide you with some assistance. Please feel it."

Second Soul Skill: Blessing of Life.

Ye Liangchen's second soul ring lit up, and a green light shot into Poseidon's body, instantly boosting her strength.

"I feel like I possess the power of a god-level expert at this moment."

"Swish..."

Poseidon was thrilled by the incredible power of this support skill, so she pulled Ye Liangchen into the air. In just ten breaths, the two arrived at the edge of a forest dozens of miles away.

"Senior, your flying speed is too fast, I almost suffocated."

The sudden, high-speed flight caught Ye Liangchen completely off guard, almost leaving him breathless.

"It was my fault, I'll give you some time to calm down."

Poseidon chuckled and quickly reached out to place his hand on Ye Liangchen's back, using his soul power to help him regulate his breathing.

At this moment, Poseidon felt a little guilty. He had been so focused on his own pleasure when his strength had increased so much that he had forgotten about the little guy's feelings. Even though his soul power was already level 70, he was still just a teenager. In his eyes, Jane was incredibly inexperienced.

"Xiao Chen, let's wait for them here."

Poseidon led Ye Liangchen toward a pavilion ahead.

"Senior, I will follow your arrangements."

Ye Liangchen sensed that Poseidon's mindset had changed after meeting him, which was a good sign. As long as he could cure his obsession with Tang Chen, it would be a good thing.

"Senior, how many people are on the island right now?"

Upon arriving at the pavilion, Ye Liangchen inquired about Poseidon Island from Poseidon.

"There are over ten thousand people on the island, most of whom live in seven cities: Seahorse City, Sea Dragon City, Sea Spear City, Sea Illusion City, Sea Ghost City, Starfish City, and Sea Maiden City. Each city is named after one of the Seven Sacred Pillars. We, the residents of Seagod Island, are all guardians of Lord Seagod..."

Poseidon gave Ye Liangchen a detailed introduction to the overall situation of Poseidon Island, allowing him to gain a comprehensive understanding.

"The former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, and those high-ranking officials were a bunch of idiots. Seagod Island was so powerful, yet they dared to plot against it back then. It just shows how ignorant they were."

After learning about the full extent of Seagod Island's strength, Ye Liangchen was speechless at the Spirit Hall's bizarre actions back then. Logically speaking, Qian Daoliu should have known about Seagod Island's power, yet he didn't stop Qian Xunji from attacking it, which was simply bizarre.

"If Qian Daoliu knew what you said, I wonder what he would think?"

Poseidon looked at Ye Liangchen with a smile; this little guy really had a lot of guts.

"Senior, Senior Qian Daoliu is thousands of kilometers away from us. He is not a god and cannot hear me."

Ye Liangchen smiled and thought to himself: Old Man Qian himself has admitted that he is mentally ill, so why would he care about these things!

"Xiao Chen, who is the current Pope of the Spirit Hall?"

When Poseidon heard that Qian Xunji was actually the former pope, he felt that the Spirit Hall must have already undergone a change of dynasty.

"The current Pope of the Spirit Hall is the former Holy Maiden Bibi Dong. The previous Pope, Qian Xunji, died more than ten years ago. After Qian Xunji... the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong took over. Now she has completely taken control of the Spirit Hall, and her strength has reached level 99. Moreover, she has twin spirits. Under her leadership, the Spirit Hall has reached its peak."

Ye Liangchen explained the current situation of the Spirit Hall to Poseidon, letting her know that the mastermind behind the attack on Seagod Island was dead, so that she wouldn't hold a grudge.

"I never imagined that girl back then was actually a genius with twin martial souls, and her strength actually reached level 99! It's truly unbelievable!"

When Poseidon heard that Bibi Dong had actually managed to cultivate to level 99, he was very impressed with her.

"The Clear Sky Sect was also crippled by the Spirit Hall. It seems that the changes on the continent have been too great in recent years."

When Poseidon heard about the fate of the Haotian Sect, he was filled with sorrow. The once number one sect in the world had fallen into decline.

"The Haotian Sect reached its peak during the era of Senior Tang Chen, but due to the lack of ambition of his descendants, the decline of the Haotian Sect after Senior Tang Chen's disappearance was quite normal. This is the principle of decline after reaching the peak."

"Wherever there are people, there is a world of martial arts. The world of martial arts is full of fighting, killing, and human relationships. Even the realm of gods is like this, let alone us mortals."

Ye Liangchen could see the turmoil in Poseidon's heart, which must also be because of Tang Chen.

"What you said makes sense, but when the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall went to war, didn't other forces step in to help?" Poseidon asked.

"Senior, you may not know this, but the three upper sects are still scheming against each other, such as stealing business and assassinating each other's geniuses."

"Back then, under the leadership of Senior Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Sect became the number one sect in the world, which made his descendants very proud and arrogant, making other sects very unhappy. When the Spirit Hall went to war with the Clear Sky Sect, other sects wished for their decline and would never have come to their aid."

Ye Liangchen then told Poseidon about the ridiculous claim of the three sects being of the same blood.

"Alas! Tang Chen's hard work has been squandered by his successor." Poseidon sighed, feeling sorry for Tang Chen.

"Senior, you wouldn't be thinking of standing up for the Clear Sky Sect, would you?"

Looking at Poseidon's sighing expression, Ye Liangchen knew what the woman was thinking.

Do you think I have that ability?

Poseidon smiled helplessly. He couldn't leave Poseidon Island, and even if he wanted to, he was powerless to.

"Senior, it would be best not to do that, lest it bring trouble to Seagod Island. Right now, the Clear Sky Sect has an enemy that is even more terrifying than the Spirit Hall."

Ye Liangchen decided to take this opportunity to cure Poseidon's love-struck brain.

"Oh! The Clear Sky Sect has an enemy even more terrifying than the Spirit Hall. Who is it?" Poseidon was increasingly unable to understand the situation on the continent.

"That's Tang Hao's son, Tang San, who is also the great-grandson of Senior Tang Chen. That guy also has twin martial souls. A few years ago, in the Soul Master Competition, ... after I defeated him, he has always held a grudge. His father, Tang Hao, coveted the treasures on my body and also wanted to kill me. After the Soul Master Finals, I crippled Tang Hao's hand and foot. ... I heard that after Tang San followed Tang Hao back to the Clear Sky Sect, he was forced by the sect to jump off a thousand-meter cliff and unexpectedly obtained the inheritance of the Rakshasa God. Now, his hatred for the Clear Sky Sect exceeds that for the Spirit Hall and me."

"If you get involved, Poseidon Island might also be targeted by Rakshasa Island, which is not a good thing for Poseidon Island."

"The Haotian Sect reached its peak during the era of Senior Tang Chen, and is now in a state of decline. Even if you wanted to save it, Senior, you couldn't."

Ye Liangchen told Poseidon about these things and told her to consider them carefully.

"So, the Clear Sky Sect has brought this upon themselves. They actually forced a genius with twin martial souls to become their enemy? That's ridiculous."

Upon hearing about Tang Hao and Tang San's actions, Poseidon instantly felt that the two were a scourge to the Clear Sky Sect, especially since they had also provoked the prodigy Ye Liangchen; they were practically courting death.

"Senior, that's the right way to think. You and Senior Tang Chen only met once and had a mutual liking for each other, but nothing has happened yet. You are neither lovers nor husband and wife, nor even boyfriend and girlfriend. You have no status or relationship, so you don't owe him anything."

"If you go to the Clear Sky Sect now, they will definitely use your relationship with Senior Tang Chen to ask you to help deal with the Spirit Hall. At that time, you will face attacks from two Limit Douluos, Qian Daoliu and Pope Bibi Dong. You might even lose your life. If something happens to you, Seagod Island will be finished."

Ye Liangchen then added another bombshell to Poseidon's story, making her understand the disaster that would follow her involvement with the Haotian Sect.

"Xiao Chen, you're right. I have no official relationship with Tang Chen, and I owe him nothing. His descendants are useless and have squandered the foundation of the Haotian Sect. They have no one to blame but themselves."

"This era belongs to you young people. Our era has passed. I only want to assist Yue'er in inheriting the position of Sea God. Don't think about anything else."

Although Poseidon was a bit love-struck, she wasn't stupid. She had already come to terms with Tang Chen's affair long ago. That ethereal love was just a dream, nothing to think about.
