"Additional conditions: Poseidon must use all her strength, and during the assessment period, she may borrow the power of the Sea God without restriction!"
Upon hearing this assessment content...
Xuan Hao was completely bewildered by the wind.
Holy crap?!?!
He couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Poseidon, you old bastard! You really don't want me to go, do you?!
Who is Poseidon? She is the uncrowned king of this sea!
If it were merely a matter of defeating Poseidon in his normal state, Xuan Hao was confident that with his current resources, it wouldn't be particularly difficult.
However… the assessment conditions clearly state: Unrestricted use of the Sea God's power is permitted!!!
If Poseidon were to borrow the vast and boundless power of the sea god, what difference would there be between her and the true sea god descending upon this ocean?!
Are you suggesting he defeat "Poseidon," who is invincible and essentially an avatar of a god?!
Has Old Deng gone mad?!
As the golden characters symbolizing the content of the third test slowly dissipated above the Temple of Poseidon, a deathly silence fell over the temple square.
Poseidon looked at Xuan Hao, whose forehead was flashing with the mark of the divine test, and her beautiful eyes were also filled with astonishment and silence.
What is this for?
Is the Sea God deliberately making things difficult for this boy with extraordinary talent?
In her invincible state where she could use the power of the sea god without limit, how could Xuan Hao, who had just barely reached level ninety-nine and whose own cobbled-together immense power was not yet fully under her control, defeat her?
How can this be? !
However, as the high priest, the will of the sea god is the absolute law.
Once the gods issue a test, she must not only give it her all, but also absolutely cannot afford to be lenient in the slightest, otherwise she will face true divine punishment.
Xuan Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to curse, and helplessly shrugged:
"High Priest, things have come to this point, cursing won't help. How about... we go outside and practice our skills? I'd like to see just how powerful you are when you have complete control over the Sea God's power?"
Poseidon nodded solemnly, gripping the golden scepter tightly: "Alright. But you'd better go all out right from the start, without holding back at all. Otherwise... you'll be in a lot of pain."
"Let's go!"
Without wasting words, Xuan Hao suddenly unfurled his Qi Blood Wings, transforming them into a golden-red streak of light that shot into the sky.
Poseidon followed closely behind, and the two flew away from Poseidon Island, arriving at a vast and boundless deep sea hundreds of miles away from Poseidon Island.
Chapter 427 Godly Descendance: Poseidon's unparalleled strength leads to Xuan Hao's valiant but ultimately defeated battle.
……
The sea breeze howled.
The two stood facing each other in mid-air, a hundred meters apart.
“I have arrived.” Poseidon’s voice sounded ethereal and majestic in the sea breeze.
As soon as she finished speaking, Poseidon didn't even release her martial spirit; she simply paused slightly with the Poseidon's Scepter in her hand.
"boom!"
A terrifying, deep-sea pressure, as if the entire sky had collapsed, fell directly on Xuan Hao without warning and with no way to avoid it!
That is not real physical weight, but the will of the entire ocean!
It is the absolute oppression of the deep-sea ruler on both a spiritual and rule-based level!
Xuan Hao's expression changed drastically, and his bones creaked as if they were about to burst under the strain.
He roared, and his level 99 blood and soul power erupted like a volcano, forcibly breaking free from this terrifying mental oppression.
However, before he could catch his breath, Poseidon's next attack had already arrived quietly.
"Crack-!"
The once calm sea suddenly turned violent, with towering waves crashing down from both sides of Xuanhao like two collapsed blue walls!
Most terrifyingly, with the blessing of the sea god's power, this seemingly ordinary giant wave became incredibly heavy.
Every drop of seawater seemed to be compressed to the extreme by black iron, containing kinetic energy enough to shatter mountains!
"boom!"
Unable to dodge in time, Xuan Hao was struck hard by the terrifying heavy waves, and was mercilessly swept into the dark and cold depths of the sea like a kite with a broken string.
However, this was merely the prelude to Poseidon's attack.
The moment he was swept into the deep sea, Xuan Hao keenly sensed that the surrounding seawater... was boiling!
That's not boiling caused by high temperature, but rather physical boiling caused by a sudden increase in water pressure to a certain level!
The surrounding seawater was frantically squeezing and tearing at his body, trying to grind him into dust!
"Golden Dragon Overlord Body!"
Without any hesitation, Xuan Hao immediately activated his strongest defensive skill.
A dazzling golden light erupted from the dark seabed. Like a golden cannonball, it forcefully tore through the terrifying water pressure that was enough to crush a peak Douluo, broke through the sea surface, and soared back into the air.
Poseidon hovered above the sea, looking at the slightly disheveled Xuan Hao, and said calmly, "You are very smart and quick to react. If you hadn't made a decisive escape just now, but instead tried to fight me underwater, the battle would have been over just now."
Xuan Hao was breathing heavily, his eyes more serious than ever before.
How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
With the power of the sea god's blessing, this sea became Poseidon's absolute domain! She didn't even release her martial spirit; she merely manipulated the surrounding environment, forcing him to use all his trump cards!
Xuan Hao took a deep breath, knowing that the probing was now pointless.
His eyes hardened, and he directly mobilized the two dragon soul powers that he had just acquired, symbolizing the Ice and Fire Dragon King!
"Roar--!"
As two giant dragon phantoms, one red and one blue, appeared behind him, Xuan Hao's aura instantly broke through the shackles of level ninety-nine and surged wildly to the strength of a demigod!
Feeling the unreasonable ancient pressure emanating from Xuan Hao, Poseidon's eyes finally turned serious.
She slowly raised the scepter in her hand, and terrifying black and red spirit rings rose from beneath her feet.
Behind her, a gigantic phantom, hundreds of feet tall and wielding a trident, quietly appeared—the Sea God Martial Soul!
It was a truly oppressive feeling that made people feel desperate, as if the person standing in front of Xuan Hao was not Poseidon, but the real sea god Poseidon!
"kill!"
Xuan Hao roared and unleashed his full power, transforming into a nine-colored stream of light, and clashed head-on with Poseidon in a resolute manner!
Rumble—!!!
……
A day and a night later.
That vast sea area had been turned upside down, and countless sea spirit beasts fled in terror.
As dawn breaks.
At the foot of Poseidon Island, Poseidon landed unharmed on the beach. Behind her was Xuan Hao, enveloped in a soft light of the sea god, utterly powerless, finding even the slightest movement of a finger incredibly difficult.
Poseidon placed him on the beach, then withdrew his divine power and remained silent.
Xuan Hao lay sprawled on the sand, staring blankly at the azure sky.
A desperate gap.
Only after truly fighting each other did he understand that there is an essential difference between a mortal demigod and a demigod like Poseidon who can draw upon divine power at any time.
Divine power and soul power are two concepts that are completely different from each other!
This is the true difference between humans and gods!
What made Xuan Hao feel most helpless was that during the day and night of battle, Poseidon had not even launched a few full-force attacks. Most of the time, she was just using the power of the sea god to defend and deflect force.
If Poseidon were truly determined to kill and launched a full-scale attack... Xuan Hao had no doubt that he would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.
"What's the point of fighting like this..." Xuan Hao muttered to himself with a bitter smile, "This stupid test has absolutely no hope of winning."
Poseidon reached out and infused Xuan Hao with some gentle soul power to help stabilize his injuries, but then didn't say anything more to comfort him.
Such were the rules of the divine examination. She turned around, transformed into a streak of red light, and flew back to the Sea God Temple atop the mountain.
Xuan Hao lay on the beach to rest until evening, when his strength finally recovered somewhat.
Seeing that he was finally able to sit up, Na'er, Xiao Wu, and several other girls who had been watching over him rushed over.
“Brother…” Na’er looked at his unusually dejected appearance and said with heartache, “Why don’t you take a break for a while? Don’t push yourself too hard.”
Xuan Hao shook his head helplessly: "What's the point of resting? We can't beat them at all. Once this year's time limit is up, I'm afraid I'll really be kicked out of Poseidon Island in disgrace."
Na'er curled her lip and said dismissively, "So what if you're kicked out? You've already done your best. I don't think the Sea God intended to let you pass this test at all. He just wanted to use the High Priest to beat you up and vent his anger."
Xuan Hao sighed speechlessly: "I think so too. But... that old sea god is a god after all, surely he shouldn't be so petty?"
"actually……"
Na'er's purple eyes darted around, and she suddenly leaned close to Xuan Hao's ear, lowering her voice mysteriously as she said, "Brother, you might still have a chance to win. However, you'll have to find a different way."
Xuan Hao was taken aback and looked at her in confusion: "Another way? What way?"
"Since you can't win by sheer strength, you can—use psychological warfare."
Na'er raised an eyebrow, adopting the air of a strategist. "The High Priestess is a kind-hearted woman, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and her attitude towards you... those who know, know. She definitely wouldn't have the heart to kill you or seriously injure you. If you use some tricks in the battle, or even a self-inflicted injury, she might panic and reveal her weakness?"
Upon hearing this terrible idea, Xuan Hao hesitated: "This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with it?" Na'er looked at him with a half-smile, her tone tinged with sourness. "Oh? You're afraid of hurting her? You're already feeling sorry for her? She hasn't even said she likes you yet, and you're doing a pretty good job as her protector."
Xuan Hao's eye twitched slightly, and he flicked her forehead in an annoyed tone: "Is that what I meant? I was worried that what if she not only didn't fall for this self-inflicted injury trick, but instead used the power of the Sea God to give me a thorough thrashing?"
Na'er covered her forehead and rolled her eyes at him: "Then let's give it a try. Anyway, you can't beat them by brute force now, and you have no other options. It's better to try this low-down trick than to sit here and wait to die, right?"
Xuan Hao stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Not for now. I want to take another chance. What if I can find a way to deal with divine power within this year? If we really reach a dead end, then we can consider your dirty tricks."
