Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 393 The Unremarkable Golden Thirteen Halberds

"Moon, well done!"

Poseidon was extremely excited as he watched Shuiyue raise the Trident of Poseidon above her head. He was surrounded by golden light, as if he could see the figure of Poseidon.

"Moon, you're amazing."

"Slap slap..."

Yali stretched out her jade-like hand and clapped happily, watching Shuiyue'er about to become the sea goddess. At this moment, Yali's eyes revealed excitement and admiration.

"Thank you, Great Offering, thank you, Sister Li."

"Thank you, brothers and sisters. Without your companionship and help, I would not have been able to get to where I am today."

Shuiyue smiled sweetly and thanked everyone.

"Moon, why are you being so sentimental? Trying to make our sisters cry?"

"Exactly! We're not used to you like this at all."

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others rolled their eyes at Shui Yue'er. They were still a little unaccustomed to seeing this girl being so earnest and sentimental.

"Quickly tell us about this divine weapon. It's so heavy in our hands, but how come it's so light in yours?"

"The moment we caught the trident, it felt like a weight of tens of thousands of pounds suddenly pressed down on us."

Shui Bing'er and Jin Ling'er were eager to know what the Trident of the Sea God was for.

"I don't know either. It seems the high priest will have to tell us."

Shuiyue'er was completely dumbfounded. Ye Liangchen had said that this artifact was worth 108000 gold, but when she pulled it out, it felt as light as a fire poker, and she even fell flat on her backside.

"The Trident of Poseidon is a divine artifact. It has already recognized Yue'er as its master, so it weighs only 108 jin in her hands, but it weighs 108000 jin in someone else's hands."

"That's why it was so difficult for you to catch the trident before."

Poseidon explained to Shui Bing'er and the others, and was very happy to see that Shui Yue'er had gained the approval of the Trident of the Sea God.

"Great Elder, so when Shuiyue'er used this divine weapon against the enemy, the force exerted on the enemy was also 108000 jin?"

Feng Xiaotian asked curiously.

"That's true," Poseidon nodded.

"Wow! 108000 jin of strength? That's terrifying."

"Yes! Without any skills, the power of the artifact alone is enough to kill someone."

Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and the others were all incredulous at the sheer magic of the trident.

"So what was this divine weapon forged from? Was it made of iron?"

Feng Xiaotian reached out and touched the trident, but it didn't feel like iron.

"It's not iron! The Trident of Poseidon is an energy crystal similar to a soul bone, but it's a higher-level one."

"The Vast Ocean Universe Cover that flew out from between Sister Yue'er's eyebrows was called the Heart of the Sea God. It was also a divine artifact-level soul tool, but it could be integrated into the body, similar to a soul bone."

Ye Liangchen explained to everyone that once he became a god, he would also need to acquire a divine artifact.

"That's amazing!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Having such a magical artifact was simply a deadly weapon!

"Xiao Chen, you've drawn the trident before, so you should be able to lift it, right?"

Shuiyue handed the trident to Ye Liangchen, gesturing for him to take it.

"Of course I can."

Ye Liangchen took the trident with one hand, walked to the center of the hall, and casually swung it a few times, feeling as if it were floating on air.

"Huff huff..."

The trident spun in Ye Liangchen's hand, its 108000-pound weight causing the surrounding air to whistle and rustle.

"Wow, that's incredibly powerful!"

Shui Bing'er and the others stood outside and could clearly feel the powerful shockwaves rushing towards them.

"Xiao Chen, be careful. If the trident flies out of your hand, it might hit someone."

Poseidon warned Ye Liangchen not to sell the item.

"Sister Yue'er, what is your eighth test?"

Ye Liangchen stopped what he was doing and handed the trident to Shui Yue'er. This girl had completed the seventh test, so the eighth test shouldn't be too difficult for her.

"Let me see."

"Learn the divine skill, the Golden Thirteen Halberds, within a year?"

"Where can I find these Golden Thirteen Techniques? Where can I learn them?"

When Shui Yue'er used her mental power to communicate with the trident mark between her eyebrows and obtained the content of the eighth test, she was immediately dumbfounded.

"Whoosh..."

Just then, the Heart of the Sea God at the tip of the trident lit up with a blue light, which then condensed into the figure of the Sea God, who reached out and took the trident from Shui Yue'er's hand and walked to the center of the hall.

"Lord Poseidon?" Poseidon and Ari were stunned when they saw the figure of the sea god appear.

"Greetings, Lord Sea God." Upon seeing this, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and the others immediately bowed to the Sea God.

"Get up, everyone."

Poseidon waved his hand and used his divine power to help everyone up.

"I have roamed the Douluo Continent for over a thousand years and created the divine technique, the Golden Thirteen Halberds. Yue'er, just you wait and see."

"First Form: Unstable Storms..."

Second move: Through a thousand years, ...

The third move: Once gone, never to return…

Fourth move: Clear skies and vivid waters...

Fifth move: Lush grass,...

Sixth move: Where does the sun set?...

Seventh move: Misty waves on the river…

Eighth move: Vast expanse of misty waters…

Ninth move: Blue sea and sky...

Tenth move: The ocean is merciless…

Eleventh move: The surging waves rise...

Twelfth Form: The bright moon rises with the tide…

Thirteenth move: The tide rises to meet the sea,…

As Poseidon brandished his trident, he verbally explained the moves of the Golden Thirteen Halberds to Shuiyue'er.

Holy crap! "A thousand years have passed, and the grasses grow lush and green..." Isn't this a line from the poem "Yellow Crane Tower"? And "The bright moon rises with the tide and the tide rises to meet the sea"? It seems to be a line from the poem "Spring River Flower Moon Night".

As Ye Liangchen listened to Poseidon reciting the moves, he felt that the moves that this guy named the Golden Thirteen Halberds were quite poetic.

"Girl, how many moves have you memorized?"

After the demonstration of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, Poseidon looked at Shuiyue with a smile.

"I...I only remembered the first four moves. You danced too fast after that, sir, I couldn't remember them."

Shuiyue thought to herself: You've only demonstrated it once, who can remember so many moves?

"Alright then, I will come out and teach you every now and then until you have fully mastered the Golden Thirteen Halberds."

Poseidon thought about it and felt that it was quite good that the girl remembered the first four moves after watching him demonstrate them once.

"And you? How many moves have you learned?"

Poseidon glanced at Ye Liangchen again, thinking that this guy might bring him some surprises.

"I've memorized it all, let me show you."

Ye Liangchen possessed a photographic memory. After Poseidon performed the Golden Thirteen Halberds, he had memorized all the moves. So he took the trident from Poseidon and began to demonstrate.

"Huff huff..."

The trident spun in Ye Liangchen's hands, its powerful force stirring up the energy within the temple and creating golden waves of energy.

"What kind of monster are you, kid! I only demonstrated it once, and you've already memorized it all?"

Poseidon was so astonished by Ye Liangchen's impressive display of the Golden Thirteen Styles that he almost dropped his jaw.

"Poseidon, you don't understand the world of monstrous geniuses."

After Ye Liangchen finished demonstrating the Golden Thirteen Forms, he felt that Poseidon's divine skills were just so-so, not as exquisite as the sword techniques of "Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens" and "Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms Welcoming the Wind".

"How does it feel? Isn't my amazing skill incredible?" Poseidon looked at Ye Liangchen with a smile.

"It's so-so!"

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly. This guy's amazing skill only relies on the weight of the trident to work.

"That's incredibly audacious! How dare they say that the Sea God's divine skills are just so-so?"

Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and the others were all stunned by Ye Liangchen's actions.

"This is a divine skill I created myself, and you think it's just so-so?"

When Poseidon heard Ye Liangchen's evaluation of his divine skills, he felt as if he had been hit by a thousand points of critical damage. However, when he thought of the golden seal moves that the kid had created, he realized that his own Golden Thirteen Halberds were still a bit lacking.

"What? You're not convinced? How about I unleash some of my divine skills and show you? Let's see whose divine skill is more destructive!"

Ye Liangchen saw that the old man was still not convinced, so he decided to have a competition. He had a lot of divine skills, especially the Emperor Seal Technique, which was a divine skill that could crush the Sea God. It was definitely not wrong!

"Xiao Chen,..."

Poseidon reminded Ye Liangchen from the side, fearing that this guy might use the Emperor Seal Technique in the temple, which would probably destroy the temple.

"Forget it, your divine skill is too destructive. My Golden Thirteen Halberds are indeed not as powerful."

When Poseidon thought about the destructive power of Ye Liangchen's golden seals, it was simply earth-shattering and indeed more powerful than his own divine skills.

"Now that you have mastered the moves of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, you will be the one to teach Yue'er from now on. The divine avatar I created consumes too much energy."

Now that he saw that Ye Liangchen had mastered his divine skill, Poseidon simply let the boy teach Shuiyue'er.

"No problem," Ye Liangchen nodded.

"You're all doing great, keep up the good work! This kid got you all godhood, don't let him down."

Poseidon looked at Shui Bing'er and the others, said some encouraging words, and then transformed into a blue light, entering the heart of the sea god.

"Lord Sea God, we will do our best."

Shui Bing'er and her group bowed respectfully to the trident, expressing their deep gratitude for the Sea God's help.

"Sister Yue'er, your soul power is now at level 97. Now you need to work hard to cultivate. You have completed the eighth test, but your soul power is only at level 98."

Ye Liangchen sensed the powerful aura emanating from Shui Yue'er, second only to his own. Unbeknownst to him, this girl was now at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world.

"I understand."

Shuiyue nodded. It would probably take several years to cultivate from level 98 to level 99.

"Shui Yue'er, if Dean Shui and the others knew you're already a level 97 Title Douluo, they'd probably be shocked!"

Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, and the others looked at Shui Yue'er's level 97 Title Douluo strength with envy. Although they were also high-level Soul Douluos, the gap between them and Super Douluos was too great.

"After you begin your respective divine trials, your strength will also improve very quickly."

Shui Yue'er smiled modestly, saying that she was able to achieve her current strength entirely because Ye Liangchen had helped her take off.

"I suggest you cultivate diligently and first raise your soul power to around level 89 before starting the Divine Trial. Once you reach the Title Douluo level, the soul power reward from the Divine Trial will directly propel you to level 97 or higher."

"If you start the Divine Trial now, even if you collect all the soul power rewards, you will only have a maximum of 95 levels of soul power. It will take you much longer to reach level 99."

Ye Liangchen suggested to everyone that they should maximize the rewards of the Divine Exam.

"You're really good at calculating, kid." Poseidon agreed with Ye Liangchen's method.

"Great! We're currently level 86 Soul Douluo. With three or four years of training, reaching level 89 will be no problem at all."

"Your method, Master, is simply brilliant..."

Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Huo Wushuang, and the others discussed it and felt that starting the Divine Trial now would be a bit of a loss.
