Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 380 The Seven Holy Lords' Guardians Feel Immense Pressure

Half a month later, Ye Liangchen and his group finally returned to Poseidon Island.

"Squeak..."

As the large ship sailed into the waters several thousand meters from Poseidon Island, Xiao Bai and his two subordinates rushed towards the Demon Soul Great White Shark's defensive perimeter and relayed the news of the annihilation of the Demon Orca clan to their people.

"Squeak..."

"Splash, splash..."

Moments later, countless demonic great white sharks excitedly emitted sonic waves and leaped out of the water, causing the entire ring of sea around Poseidon Island to boil.

"Splash..."

Little White, leading hundreds of Demon Soul Great White Sharks, began to swim to both sides of the large ship, marching in unison alongside it, as if welcoming everyone.

"Wow! That's spectacular." Everyone looked at the groups of sharks on both sides of the ship, feeling like they were part of an army.

"Wow! I've put on this welcome ceremony for you all, do you like it?"

At this moment, Little White's enormous body leaped out of the water, transformed into human form, and jumped onto the large ship.

"Of course we like it." Everyone found the whole thing that Xiaobai had put on a very funny show.

"They're back."

"Whoosh..."

Upon receiving the message, Poseidon left the temple and flew towards the Seven Pillars.

"Gather everyone who needs spirit rings. Xiao Chen and the others are back."

After descending above the Seven Pillars, Poseidon notified the sea dragon, seahorse, and others to gather their forces.

"Yes, High Priest."

"Swish..."

Hailong, Haima, and the others returned to their respective holy cities and gathered those who needed spirit rings to rush to the dock to welcome Ye Liangchen and his group.

"It's been almost two months, and they're finally back."

"Yes. Everyone was worried sick during that time. After Young Master Ye and his group went deep into the sea, there was no news of them at all. Fortunately, they were able to return safely."

"Thank you for the protection of the Sea God..."

Poseidon and the Seven Sacred Pillars acted swiftly, and within half a quarter of an hour, they had gathered over a hundred Sea Soul Masters at the dock, quietly waiting for Ye Liangchen and his group. As the large ship slowly approached from a few hundred meters away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello everyone! We're back..."

As the large ship approached the dock, Shuiyue'er and her group of girls immediately waved to Poseidon and the others, who were cheering with joy.

"Teacher, you're back."

The sea witch rushed over and gave Ye Liangchen a warm hug.

"This girl."

Seeing the Sea Witch's audacious actions, Poseidon, Sea Dragon Douluo, and the others smiled helplessly.

Everyone on the island knew about the Sea Witch becoming Ye Liangchen's apprentice, so they were used to it.

"You're back! It's been over a month, and you've become even more beautiful." Ye Liangchen couldn't help but praise the sea witch's adorable appearance.

"Teacher, how have you become prettier? Aren't you the same as before?" The sea witch smiled sweetly, feeling very happy to receive Ye Liangchen's praise.

"Great Venerable One, esteemed elders, we are back."

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue, Feng Xiaotian, and the others came before Poseidon and the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians and bowed respectfully. In everyone's hearts, Poseidon and these Title Douluo were like parents.

"It's good that you're back."

Poseidon reacted quickly, pulling Shuiyue'er to his side. This girl was the inheritor of the Sea God's legacy, and he couldn't let her bow to everyone.

"Young Master Ye, we were so worried about you on this trip..."

Hailong, Haima, and the others smiled with relief, finally at ease seeing the young people return unharmed.

"It's a long story! To complete the fourth assessment, we had a small battle every three days and a major battle every five days. Those powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the deep sea didn't even give Little White any face, killing him as soon as they saw him. It exhausted us."

Ye Liangchen described the deep-sea trip to Poseidon and the others as an adventurous and exciting journey.

"Wow! More than a dozen 100,000-year-old soul beasts?"

When Hailong Douluo and the others heard that Ye Liangchen and his group had encountered an attack by more than a dozen 100,000-year-old soul beasts, they were all stunned.

"Come on! You've already wiped out so many powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts, aren't you satisfied?"

Poseidon reached out and ruffled Ye Liangchen's hair. To be honest, she was also shocked to hear that this little guy had led everyone to kill more than a dozen 100,000-year-old soul beasts. She had never explored the depths of the endless sea before, and she did not expect it to be so terrifying.

"Ladies, welcome back..."

The Sea Witch led a group of young female Soul Masters over, opened her arms, and warmly embraced Shui Bing'er and the other beauties.

"Thank you all..."

Being embraced by the young women on the island, Shui Bing'er and the others were deeply moved. At that moment, the women felt the warmth of home and began to chat with the young women on the island.

……

"Xiao Chen, distribute the spirit rings you collected this time to everyone. We have dozens of spirit masters who need to advance this time."

After chatting for a while, Poseidon asked Ye Liangchen to take out the spirit rings and provide them to the sea spirit masters who needed to advance.

"No problem."

"Everyone, I have collected all the spirit rings of the Demonic Orca Clan. In addition, we encountered many powerful spirit beasts along the way, and I also collected their spirit rings. In total, I have obtained more than 500 spirit rings. The lowest age is 300 years and the highest is more than 9 years."

"My spatial treasures are very special. Any spirit ring that I store will be almost like a divinely bestowed spirit ring when I take it out again. However, even a ten-thousand-year spirit ring will still have a soul vibration."

"Swish..."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen took out more than a dozen golden beads from the game space. In an instant, these golden beads transformed into soul rings of yellow, purple, and black, flashing and dazzling everyone's eyes.

Wow! More than 500 spirit rings?

"Young Master Ye actually managed to obtain a spirit ring that's over 9 years old, that's incredible..."

The Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians and the Soul Masters of Seagod Island were utterly astonished to hear that Ye Liangchen had actually collected so many Soul Rings.

"This little guy is really something."

Even Poseidon's usually calm and beautiful face showed a hint of surprise.

"Young Master Ye, I want a 400-year-old one as my first spirit ring."

Just then, Ji Xiang stepped forward and asked Ye Liangchen for a soul ring. After more than two years of cultivation, his soul power had finally increased from level two to level ten. Now, as long as he absorbed a soul ring, he could officially advance to become a one-ring soul master.

"No problem, this is a 400-year-old swordfish soul ring."

"When we fought against the 100,000-year-old soul beasts, some 100-year-old soul beasts were directly killed by the shock. In order not to waste the soul rings, I had to put them away."

Ye Liangchen directly found a 400-year-old swordfish soul ring for Jixiang. Looking at how this guy only cultivated from level two to level ten in more than two years, which averaged out to about level four per year, and considering that this guy's starting point was really too low, it was normal for it to take more than two years, which was about the same as the time he had originally expected.

"Whoosh..."

Just then, the golden bead in Jixiang's hand transformed into a yellow spirit ring, so he immediately summoned his needle spirit and began to absorb this 400-year spirit ring.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye."

When Jixiang's parents and younger sister saw the 400-year soul ring placed on Jixiang, they immediately bowed respectfully to Ye Liangchen. Jixiang was able to become a soul master from an ordinary person entirely thanks to this monstrous young man; otherwise, Jixiang would have remained an ordinary person forever.

"You're welcome." Ye Liangchen waved his hand, telling them not to take it to heart.

"Young Master Ye, I need one that is 4000 to 5000 years old, as my fourth ring."

"Young Master Ye, I would like a 50000 to 70000-year-old ring as my seventh ring."

"..."

Immediately afterwards, 50 Soul Masters stepped forward and asked Ye Liangchen for a Soul Ring.

"These are your spirit rings, absorb them with all your might!"

Ye Liangchen once again selected suitable spirit rings for this group of people. Among them were three elders who had broken through to the Soul Douluo level. The spirit rings, which were fifty or sixty thousand years old, were truly a godsend for them at this moment.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye."

After receiving their spirit rings, everyone respectfully bowed to Ye Liangchen. In their eyes, this prodigy was practically a god.

Then everyone went to the grassy area and began to absorb the spirit rings. The remaining spirit masters were almost all family members of those people, so they followed and protected them.

"Is there anyone else who needs it?" Poseidon asked Sea Dragon Douluo and the others.

"Great Master, Carlito was preparing to reach level 90 yesterday. I wonder if he succeeded?"

Suddenly, Sea Dragon Douluo remembered his subordinate, who seemed to be breaking through the 90 mark.

"Let's go take a look!"

Poseidon led Ye Liangchen and his group directly to Hailong City, and also gave them a welcome dinner.

"Everyone, let's have a get-together."

Ye Liangchen invited Seahorse, Sea Witch, Sea Spear, and others to go to Sea Dragon City for a meal together.

"Great Master, may we?"

Seahorse Douluo and the others dared not act on their own and could only seek Poseidon's opinion.

"sure."

Poseidon nodded and said that the Seven Pillars do not need to be guarded all the time, so there is no need for them to stay there every day.

"Thank you, Great Offering."

Seahorse, Sea Spear, Sea Witch, and the others, having received Poseidon's permission, immediately followed with great joy.

Upon arriving in Hailong City, Hailong Douluo immediately ordered a banquet to be prepared to welcome Ye Liangchen and his party.

……

"Young master, I request a soul ring worth 9 from you."

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, a sprightly old man entered the hall from outside and asked Ye Liangchen for a soul ring to use as his ninth soul ring.

The old man's name was Carito, and he was a subordinate of the Sea Dragon Douluo. He was 70 years old this year, and his soul power had just broken through to level 90. He originally planned to go to the deep sea to find a soul ring that was 80,000 to 90,000 years old, but when he learned that Ye Liangchen had a soul ring, he shamelessly came to ask for one.

"Senior Ka, congratulations on breaking through to the Title Douluo level. I have a 10-year Sea Eagle King soul ring here. If you are ready, I will let you absorb it immediately."

Upon seeing this, Ye Liangchen immediately congratulated the old man, then took out a golden bead. In a short while, the golden bead transformed into a red soul ring, and the entire hall was enveloped in red light.

"Congratulations to Senior Ka on achieving the title of Title Douluo."

Shui Bing'er and the others immediately thanked the old man. They had eaten at his house when they were visiting Hailong City a while ago, so they had a good impression of him.

"A 10-year-old Sea Eagle King Soul Ring?"

Hailong, Haima, and the others were stunned when they saw the red spirit ring in front of Ye Liangchen. This monstrous young man had just given away the 10-year spirit ring that they had always dreamed of.

"Young Master Ye, are you really going to give this to me?" Carlito felt a little unreal at this moment. How could such an opportunity fall into his lap?

"Xiao Chen said he would give it to you, so of course it's true." Poseidon smiled calmly, knowing that Ye Liangchen had a bunch of divinely bestowed soul rings.

"I am deeply grateful for Young Master Ye's care. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please feel free to ask, and I will do my utmost without hesitation."

Carito bowed respectfully to Ye Liangchen. For an ordinary Title Douluo, obtaining a 10-year soul ring was practically impossible.

"It's not safe to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring in the hall. Once the soul power aura erupts, it will damage these old furniture pieces. Senior Carito, go outside to absorb it."

Ye Liangchen put the spirit ring into his game inventory, went to the grassy area outside the city lord's mansion, took out the 100,000-year spirit ring, and handed it to Carito.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye."

"Buzz..."

After watching the golden bead transform into a red spirit ring, Carlito immediately summoned his seal spirit and began absorbing it.

"Ahhh...!"

The energy impact brought by the 100,000-year soul ring was immense. Carito felt as if a 100,000-pound weight was pressing down on him, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl. Fortunately, his soul power had reached level 90, so he could still withstand it and absorbed the soul ring with all his might.

"Buzz..." In order for Carito to calmly absorb the soul ring, Poseidon directly created a soul power shield to separate him from Carito.

"Show us all your spirit rings! Let everyone see them!"

Poseidon sensed that Huo Wushuang and the other Soul Saints had advanced to Soul Douluo, so he asked everyone to reveal their Soul Rings.

"As you command, Great Offering."

"Swish..."

Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Huo Wushuang, and others revealed their respective soul rings, and for a moment, the entire city lord's mansion square was shrouded in a light interwoven with red and black.

"So many 100,000-year-old spirit rings?"

At this moment, the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars were dazzled by the exaggerated soul ring combinations of Shui Bing'er and the others.

"Are you, the Seven Pillar Guardians, confident in your ability to meet the challenge of these young people?"

Poseidon knew that Shui Bing'er and the others' fifth trial was to defeat the Sea Dragon Douluo and his group.

"We will handle the Grand Offering properly."

Hailong, Haima, and the others chuckled, thinking to themselves: All of us Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians are Super Douluo. Even if we hold back, these young people are not capable of dealing with us, except for the prodigy Ye Liangchen, of course.

"Hehe! What if they had Xiao Chen's super support?"

"You should know that once his super support skill is activated, it can increase all of his teammates' attributes by 110%, which is several times the combat power."

Poseidon had personally experienced Ye Liangchen's super support skill. With the support of this super support skill, almost all of these Soul Douluos were able to unleash the strength of Title Douluos.

"A 110% increase in all attributes?"

Hearing about such an incredible super-assistant, Hailong and the others immediately felt immense pressure. If they had to use their full strength when fighting against these young people during the assessment, they would lose face.

"I'm definitely no match for them."

The sea witch patted her breasts, thinking: When these people challenge me, I'll just go easy on them and let them pass.

"It's not that exaggerated. Right now, everyone is just a Contra Douluo. No matter how powerful my support skills are, they are no match for Super Douluos."

Ye Liangchen didn't think Shui Bing'er and the others could pass the test easily, after all, the gap between a Soul Douluo and a Super Douluo was too big.

"That's right! We're just Contra players after all, so we hope you seniors will go easy on us."

Shui Bing'er and the others chimed in, hoping that these Title Douluos would go easy on them.

"I wonder what Young Master Ye's fifth test is?" Sea Dragon Douluo asked Ye Liangchen curiously.

"Besides assisting everyone in the assessment, I also have to defeat the combined attack of the Seven Pillar Guardians on my own, and finally defeat the High Priest."

Ye Liangchen explained his assessment criteria, admitting that he was also looking forward to competing against these top experts.

"Master, please don't be too harsh, or your disciple will cry."

The sea witch immediately raised her hands in surrender. Fighting her own monstrous teacher was just asking for trouble, wasn't it?

"That's right! Young Master Ye, go easy on him then."

When Hailong, Haima, and the others learned that they would be fighting Ye Liangchen, they immediately felt immense pressure. Just thinking about this guy's numerous divine skills, especially those five great seals, whose power was earth-shattering, they knew that none of them could withstand it.

"Xiao Chen, I'll be going all out when we fight."

Poseidon looked at Ye Liangchen with a smile, eagerly anticipating a thrilling battle with the little guy.

"Haha...! Xiao Chen, you're in trouble."

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and the others watched Ye Liangchen with schadenfreude, looking forward to the scene of this guy being humiliated by Poseidon. That scene would definitely be quite a sight.

"Let's wait and see."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly. The battle with Poseidon would definitely be earth-shattering, but he couldn't use his divine sense attack or the combined use of the five seals of the Emperor Seal Technique, otherwise Poseidon would definitely be seriously injured.
