In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 273 As expected, they're making things difficult for me.

Tang San wasn't very familiar with the rules of Seagod Island; his father had died young and hadn't had time to explain them to him in detail. He could only obey and do as instructed, landing immediately after reaching the airspace above the shore.

After standing still and observing the surroundings, a male and a female Soul Master dressed in different clothes walked towards them.

After giving a slight bow, he stepped aside and led the way.

"This way, please, sir."

"Thank you." Tang San returned the greeting politely and introduced himself: "My name is Tang San, my father is Tang Hao, and my great-grandfather is Tang Chen."

"You are Tang Chen's great-grandson!?" The man was surprised. He had heard that two level 99 super strong people had visited Seagod Island and sparred with the Grand Elder. Later, Tang Chen even sent two of his grandsons to deliver a letter to the Grand Elder.

So, you're here to deliver a letter too?

"Not bad." Tang San nodded.

The man nodded and began to explain the rules of Seagod Island to Tang San.

Tang San listened intently to the Holy Pillar and the Sea God's Test, wondering to himself, "Could this so-called test be the mechanism for selecting a successor? And only those who obtain and pass the highest level of test are qualified?"

Thinking this, he said, "Seniors, please lead this junior to the Holy Pillar to participate in the trial."

The two looked surprised. The woman spoke first, her brows furrowing slightly, "Tang San, I think we've already explained the rules of Seagod Island very clearly. If you're just visiting the High Priest, you can leave Seagod Island afterward."

"But if you participate in the test, whether you pass or fail, you will remain on Poseidon Island forever."

Having become the Sea God, he could naturally freely enter and exit Tang San's inner inner passage.

He has no way out now!

"Seniors, I am ready." He said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Since it is the rule of Poseidon Island, as an outsider, I naturally cannot disobey it just because my grandfather has a relationship with Poseidon."

"Besides, this is precisely the purpose of my visit."

The two immediately guessed that Tang San's parents might have sent him over for training.

To be honest, they were somewhat unhappy about using the trials on Poseidon Island as part of their training.

What do they think Poseidon Island is?!

However, due to the rules, he couldn't say anything. The man said coldly, "In that case, come with me."

Tang San remained calm, nodded, and followed closely behind.

Soon, the three arrived at the opposite side of the Sacred Pillar Sea where Seahorse Douluo was located.

"Lord Seahorse." The two Seagod Island Soul Masters greeted him politely and then explained their purpose.

After listening, Seahorse Douluo frowned slightly, turned to look at Tang San, and asked, "Tang San, are you sure?"

"Yes, Lord Seahorse," Tang San replied politely.

Seahorse Douluo's brows relaxed, and he continued, "Tang San, as a land-based Soul Master, if you want to accept the test bestowed by the Sea God, you must cross the Sea within the Sea ahead to reach the Sacred Pillar in order to qualify."

As he spoke, a faint blue halo appeared behind him.

At the same time, the Seahorse Pillar behind them suddenly lit up, with a beam of azure light shooting straight up from the bottom to the top.

The next second, a ring of blue ripples spread out, instantly enveloping the sea and the seabed.

Tang San frowned slightly. Judging from the situation, was Seahorse Douluo going to take action personally?

How could a Soul Saint possibly contend with a Title Douluo?

"Is he deliberately making things difficult for me?" she wondered to herself, recalling how the man who had led the way had inexplicably turned cold.

"No matter what, I have to give it a try. I have no way out now."

Thinking this, a thought arose in his mind, and thin wings extended from his back. Then, he lightly clenched his right hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit appeared in his hand.

"An external soul bone?" Seahorse Douluo was surprised, and then he saw Tang San step forward and rush straight ahead.

He immediately waved his hand lightly, creating a ten-meter-high wave in the sea.

"They're really trying to make things difficult for me." Tang San was indignant, but his expression remained calm. With a wave of his hand, he pierced through the giant wave. He had handled the pressure of a hundred-meter waterfall with ease, let alone this wave that was only ten meters high.

You all underestimated me after all.

With a casual swing of the hammer, he smashed the oncoming giant wave out of the hole and flew smoothly over the sea to land.

"Not bad. Although you have relied on external forces such as the external soul bone, you are still very skilled in using your martial soul. You are qualified to participate in the test given by Lord Sea God." Seahorse Douluo smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked to the Holy Pillar with a devout expression.

It turned out that the previous test was to test my use of martial soul. Tang San's gaze softened considerably after realizing that he had misunderstood Seahorse Douluo. Then, Seahorse Douluo slowly raised his hands, and a faint blue light shone between his clasped palms.

As the blue light covered the entire palm of Seahorse Douluo, a flash of light suddenly appeared at the bottom of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.

A beam of blue light shot straight up the holy pillar to the top, then turned purple, then black, and finally red, transforming into a thick red beam that shot straight into the sky, dyeing a large part of the sky red.

The sea behind them began to boil, and then another change occurred, with six red pillars of light rising up around them at the same time.

"What is this?" Seahorse Douluo was shocked.

Poseidon, far away on Mount Poseidon, was also astonished, and then a flash of light appeared on her body and she disappeared from the spot.

"After so many years, finally a physique capable of withstanding the power of my vast ocean has appeared, and one who also possesses the power of destiny has emerged." In the divine realm, the Sea God, sitting in the main hall, gleamed with brilliance, then looked puzzled. "However, the power of destiny within this lad seems to be slowly dissipating."

"Never mind, finding a successor isn't easy. I can finally leave this god-realm."

Thinking of this, he became somewhat excited, watching as seven red lights converged in the image, with a golden beam of light bursting forth from the center.

"I can't move!" Tang San gritted his teeth, somewhat confused, and watched helplessly as the golden beam of light descended upon him.

The next second, I felt a massive influx of information flood my mind, mostly blurry and indistinct, with only one stream clearly discernible. My mind was completely filled with gold, and at the same time, I felt a sense of enlightenment, a cool sensation throughout my body, and an indescribable comfort. In addition, I vaguely sensed some subtle changes occurring in my body, as if my bodily functions were being reorganized by some kind of energy.

It felt as if the golden light was purifying and expelling all the impurities from his body.

Involuntarily, I unconsciously opened my mouth and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Is this the power of God?" He was shocked and filled with longing, a longing for power.

After a while, feeling the golden light dissipate, Tang San opened his eyes, subconsciously raised his hand to lightly touch his brow, and then turned to look at Seahorse Douluo.

"Senior, red is the highest level of assessment, so what about gold? It seems I need to complete nine assessments."

"I don't know either." Seahorse Douluo came to his senses and shook his head blankly.

At that moment, Poseidon's figure appeared in mid-air ahead.

"Greetings, Grand Elder," Seahorse Douluo said respectfully.

Tang San quickly turned his head to look, and then he was stunned. She was undoubtedly an extremely beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament.

"Greetings, senior." Composing himself, he bowed politely.

Poseidon raised her hand first, making a gentle lifting motion to stop Tang San from bowing, and said solemnly, "Child, remember, from now on, on this Seagod Island, no one is qualified to receive your bow, including me."

Could it be? Tang San suddenly realized a possibility, his heart skipped a beat, but he asked aloud, "Why is that?"

"Because you have received the Nine Trials of the Sea God," Poseidon said softly. "Child, may you tell me your origins?"

"I am Tang San, my father is Tang Hao, and my great-grandfather is Tang Chen," Tang San said politely.

"You're Tang Chen's great-grandson?!" Poseidon exclaimed in surprise.

"Not bad." Tang San nodded.

A hint of reminiscence and melancholy flashed in Poseidon's eyes as he sighed, "Time really flies."

As he spoke, he looked at Tang San and solemnly instructed him on the assessment matters before disappearing from the spot.

Tang San looked puzzled, but did not delve into it. Judging from Poseidon's words, he seemed to have gained the Sea God's approval and the right to inherit the throne.

Therefore, what he needs to do most now is to complete the assessment; as for the rest, things will become clear sooner or later.

Without giving it any further thought, he followed Seahorse Douluo to his residence, where he was politely invited.

"Long Yingtian, once I complete the assessment and inherit the position of Sea God, it will be your death day!" He thought to himself as he gazed at the horizon on the way.

Meanwhile, in the realm of gods.

The sea god hummed a little tune as he walked into the crimson hall, then paused in surprise to find two people inside.

How did these two end up together?

"Sea God, what's the matter? Why are you so happy?" The evil god, who was sitting next to the god of asura and sipping wine, asked thoughtfully.

"It's nothing," Poseidon said calmly. "We just found a successor."

"Tang San?" the God of Evil raised an eyebrow.

Tang San knew that Tang Chen had been to Seagod Island, and Tang Hao had been to the City of Slaughter. Therefore, the only places of inheritance that Tang San could access were these two. Now it seems that he really did go to Seagod Island.

As he spoke, he glanced at the calm-looking Asura God beside him and thought to himself that this guy must have known all along, but hadn't told him.

The God of Asura certainly knew this. He also knew that Tang Hao was dead, and that Tang San was now universally hated in Douluo Continent, suffering from the backlash of negative energy from millions of people, causing his luck to continuously drain away. Therefore, he had decided to give up and couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

Although Tang San did not possess his divine sense, he could easily discern the rumors circulating throughout the lower realm.

It's no wonder that its fortune suffers a backlash from being so resented by the creatures of the mainland.

"How did you know?" Poseidon asked in surprise.

"So what?" the God of Evil said indifferently. "I also know that kid was the successor that Asura had his eye on."

"Huh?" The Sea God's expression changed, and he immediately turned to look at the God of Asura. "But I didn't sense any divine sense of Asura on him."

"Brother, that kid has already passed my nine tests, you can't snatch him away halfway through."

"I have no interest," the Asura God said indifferently.

Poseidon's heart skipped a beat, and a glance at the god of evil followed, prompting him to wonder: Could it be that he has found someone better?

"Shura, Evil, what's going on today? Why are you two together?" He immediately changed the subject.

"Just bored." The God of Evil shrugged. "I just got here too, just trying to mooch off Shura's drinks."

"By the way, let's hear if Shura has encountered anything interesting during his inspection of the lower realm these past few days."

"Hehe, add one more," Poseidon said immediately, rubbing his hands together.
