Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

In the early morning of Poseidon Island, the sun shines on the sparkling sea, as if coating the sea with a layer of golden brilliance. Shui Bing'er stands in the central square of Poseidon Island, staring at the towering statue of Poseidon in front of her. In front of the statue, Poseidon's trident is deeply inserted into the ground, and the trident exudes a faint metallic luster, like a sleeping beast, waiting to wake up its master.

Bo Saixi stood aside, looking solemn and dignified. She said softly, "Bing'er, are you ready?"

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, nodded, and said firmly: "Senior Poseidon, I'm ready."

Poseidon nodded slightly, with a hint of expectation and concern in his eyes: "Remember, the Trident of Poseidon is not only the artifact of Poseidon, but also the symbol of his will. If you want to gain its recognition, you must show enough courage, wisdom and faith."

Shui Bing'er nodded solemnly, her tone firm: "I understand, Senior Poseidon. I will do my best."

Poseidon said no more, and waved his hand gently, signaling Shui Bing'er to start. Shui Bing'er walked slowly towards the Trident of Poseidon, and each step seemed particularly heavy. Her heartbeat gradually accelerated, as if she could hear the sound of her blood rushing in her veins.

At this time, Shi Yi and Zhu Zhuqing were also watching this scene silently, with nervousness and anticipation in their expressions.

Through the perception of spiritual power, Shui Bing'er discovered that the sea god trident seemed silent, but it contained an indescribable sense of heaviness. Its exposed long handle was about ten feet long, as thick as a child's arm, dark and matte, and the surface was covered with fine lines, as if telling of its former glory.

When Shui Bing'er stood in front of the Sea God's Trident, the air around her seemed to freeze. She stretched out her hand and gently grasped the handle of the trident. The moment she touched the trident, a powerful energy surged out from the trident and instantly enveloped her.

The golden mark of Poseidon's trident on Shui Bing'er's forehead suddenly lit up, and a focused ray of Poseidon's light shot out from between her brows, shining on the long handle of the trident.

boom--

The moment the light of Poseidon shone, Shui Bing'er felt a blazing heat suddenly enter her body, sweeping over her entire body. The Poseidon trident in her hand trembled slightly, conveying an extremely excited emotion. Then, from where she held her hands, faint golden lines began to spread, and the golden light gradually spread on the originally dark long handle.

In an instant, Shui Bing'er felt that the long handle in her hand was no longer cold metal, but boiling lava. The high temperature made her frown, and her whole body's soul power gushed out instantly, accompanied by the crisp sound of a phoenix, and her hands and the Seagod Trident were firmly sealed by a layer of ice.

She understood that if she let go at this moment, she would forever lose the chance to gain the recognition of the Sea God.

Time passed minute by minute. Through the ice, Shi Yi could clearly see the blood oozing from Shui Bing'er's hands, and his heart couldn't help but wrench up.

Shui Bing'er clenched her teeth and exerted force with both arms at the same time. Her soul power of level 96 burst out completely, causing even her bones to make crackling sounds.

At this time, Zhu Zhuqing and Shi Yi couldn't help showing joy on their faces. They could clearly feel that the Seagod Trident was moving, although the amplitude was small, but it was indeed rising slowly.

The golden trident symbol on Shui Bing'er's forehead became brighter due to the thorough burst of soul power. She didn't know how much she had pulled out, but when she saw the diamond-shaped hole on the handle of the trident, a strong premonition surged in her heart.

hum-

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze. A circle of strong golden light burst out from the trident. Shui Bing'er and the Seagod Trident seemed to be truly connected, and a strong soul power fluctuation suddenly burst out. Shi Yi and Zhu Zhuqing's bodies were ejected by the huge force and fell off the Seagod Platform.

At the same time, the light of the sea god that was ejected from Shui Bing'er's forehead changed from golden to deep blue, as pure as the sea. The golden light gradually disappeared, leaving only the deep blue light.

A blue triangle slowly floated out from between Shui Bing'er's eyebrows, spinning around, and approached the diamond-shaped hole on the handle of Poseidon's trident through the bridge formed by the blue light.

A magical scene appeared. When the Vast Sea Universe Cover flew to three inches in front of the diamond-shaped hole, it stopped, and then the light turned, and the original triangular shape instantly doubled in size, as if two Vast Sea Universe Covers were connected together, and the shape also changed, turning into a dark blue diamond-shaped gem, the size of which just matched the hole on the Sea God's Trident.

With a slight ding sound, the Vast Sea Universe Cover, which had transformed into a diamond-shaped body, was finally imprinted on the diamond-shaped hole of the Sea God Trident. The harsh friction sound was accompanied by an extremely surging burst of energy, which instantly swept across the entire hall.

The originally dark hall was lit up by golden light. The ground, the roof, the walls, and even the seven platforms guarding the Sea God Platform were all dyed with a layer of golden color. An unprecedented sacred aura burst out from the position of the Sea God's trident, turning into a huge column of light that shot up into the sky and rushed straight to the top of the hall.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er's consciousness was pulled into a strange space. Surrounding her was an endless ocean with rolling waves and turbulent tides. She stood on the sea, with a bottomless blue abyss under her feet. In the distance, a huge wave was sweeping towards her, as if to swallow her up.

"Is this... a test?" Shui Bing'er thought to herself.

The waves were getting closer and closer, but Shui Bing'er didn't flinch. She closed her eyes and felt the sea breeze and waves around her. Her soul power slowly released and merged with the surrounding sea water. Just when the waves were about to hit her, her body suddenly turned into a blue light and merged into the waves, as if nothing had happened.

After the waves passed, Shui Bing'er reappeared on the sea. A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in her eyes: "So that's it, this is the power and will of the sea."

Shui Bing'er's consciousness returned to Poseidon Island. She opened her eyes and found that she was still holding the handle of Poseidon's trident. But unlike before, the light of the trident became more dazzling, as if responding to her will.

"Success..." Shui Bing'er whispered softly, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. She exerted force suddenly, and the main blade of the trident, which was like a long sword, slowly rose up accompanied by the blades on both sides. Under the blood of Shui Bing'er, the trident body exuded a golden light like rippling water, and the trembling sound like a dragon's roar continued to burst out from the trident.

The Seagod Platform began to tremble violently, and at the same time, so did the Seagod Temple and even the entire Seagod Mountain.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, making the light of the entire Poseidon Island dim. But at this moment, the Poseidon Temple lit up, and the magnificent temple burst into a strong golden light, which cut through the darkness, illuminated the Poseidon Mountain, and seemed to illuminate the entire Poseidon Island. A thick golden light column shot up into the sky, piercing the dark clouds.

At the same time, the Seven Holy Pillars of Poseidon on Poseidon Island also lit up at the same time. Seven golden lights of different thicknesses rushed up from different directions and condensed into one golden light pillar gushing out from the Poseidon Temple.

The light lasted for ten seconds before it faded away. The dark clouds in the sky had been completely transformed by the golden light balls condensed by them. The golden light balls slowly changed shape in the air and gradually turned into a human-shaped shadow. The shadow was wearing golden armor, with long dark blue hair draped over his shoulders. The armor covered almost every part of his body. Most importantly, the human-shaped shadow was holding a golden trident that seemed to be able to pierce the sky and split the earth.

The seven Seagod pillars guarding Douluo standing in front of the Seagod Temple looked up at the sky. They almost knelt down at the same time, their pious eyes filled with blazing light, worshiping the virtual image in the sky. The same situation occurred in every place where people lived on Seagod Island. When the residents of the island saw the strange phenomenon in the sky, they walked out of the room without hesitation, knelt down in the open space, and worshiped the huge virtual image.

The might of the Sea God can be seen from a thousand miles away. In the sea, it seemed that all creatures could sense the breath of the golden shadow. At this moment, the ocean suddenly came to a standstill, the raging waves subsided, and all creatures in the sea stopped swimming. They all turned unconsciously towards the direction of the Sea God Island, trembling and worshiping respectfully.

Thousands of tiny golden rays appeared from all directions, some of which came from Poseidon Island, but more came from the ocean. If Poseidon Douluo Poseidon saw this scene, he would definitely understand that this was what she called the power of faith - the faith of all things in the ocean in Poseidon.

Inside the Seagod Temple, on the Seagod Platform, Shui Bing'er had already raised her right hand high, with the Seagod Trident shining with infinite golden light in her right hand.

Shui Bing'er was not tall, but at this moment, she looked extremely majestic. The Poseidon trident in her hand seemed to be integrated with her, and the light from the trident reflected her face, making her look sacred and solemn.

Poseidon looked at this scene with a gratified smile on his face: "Bing'er, congratulations. You have been recognized by the Trident of Poseidon. The rest of the journey depends on you."

Shui Bing'er nodded, her eyes firm: "Senior Poseidon, I will continue to work hard and live up to the expectations of Lord Poseidon."

Shi Yi walked over slowly, holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and said softly, "Bing'er, congratulations."

Before Shui Bing'er could respond to Shi Yi, the majestic voice of the Sea God rang in Shui Bing'er's mind: "The seventh of the nine tests of the Sea God is to pull out the artifact Sea God's Trident. You have passed. Reward: your affinity with the Sea God will increase by 15%, and your total affinity will increase by 80%. You will be recognized by the Sea God's Trident and have the right to use the Sea God's Trident."

Shui Bing'er looked at Shi Yi, her lips slightly raised, revealing a tired but relieved smile. However, at this moment, her body could no longer support herself, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and she fell forward softly.

Shi Yi was quick-witted, and his left arm soul bone lit up instantly. He was about to reach out and catch Shui Bing'er. However, he heard Poseidon's urgent warning: "Danger!"

Shi Yi ignored Poseidon's reminder and reached out to catch Shui Bing'er's limp body without hesitation. At the same time, the golden trident of Poseidon also tilted forward as Shui Bing'er fell. Shi Yi's other hand firmly grasped the long handle of the trident and held it firmly in his hand.

The moment he touched the Seagod's trident, a vast and mysterious force came from the trident, as if it contained endless ocean power. However, Shi Yi did not feel this power carefully, but quickly focused his attention on Shui Bing'er in his arms.

Poseidon stood aside, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. She knew clearly that the weight of the Seagod Trident was extraordinary, and even she could barely lift it. But Shi Yi looked normal, holding Shui Bing'er in one hand and holding the trident with the other hand easily, as if it was just an ordinary weapon.

"This kid... actually picked up the Trident of Poseidon so easily." Poseidon thought secretly in his heart, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

Her thoughts drifted away, and a figure she had been thinking about day and night appeared in her mind - that figure was tall and majestic, holding a war hammer, climbing the Sea God Mountain alone. That was her eternal concern and the obsession she could not let go.

"Senior, I'll take Bing'er to rest first." Shi Yi's voice interrupted Poseidon's thoughts. He lowered his head to look at the sleeping Shui Bing'er in his arms, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Poseidon came back to his senses, nodded, and said softly: "Go back and have a good rest. As for the subsequent tests, you can come to Poseidon Mountain to find me at any time. Now, you can come and go here at will."

Shi Yi nodded, then hugged Shui Bing'er and took Zhu Zhuqing with him and slowly left the Temple of Poseidon.

Shi Yi held Shui Bing'er in his arms and walked towards their residence on Poseidon Island. Zhu Zhuqing followed beside him, her eyes occasionally falling on Shui Bing'er's pale face, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Is she okay?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly.

Shi Yi looked down at Shui Bing'er in his arms and said in a gentle tone, "It's just that your soul power has been over-consumed. You just need to rest for a while."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said nothing more. The three of them remained silent all the way until they returned to their residence.

Shi Yi gently placed Shui Bing'er on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He stood by the bed, looking at her tenderly, but in his heart he couldn't help but recall the feeling of holding the Trident of Poseidon just now.

This was his first time to come into contact with a divine weapon, and the feeling was extremely special.

"Xiao Yi, what are you thinking about?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern.

Shi Yi came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing, I just feel that the power of the Seagod Trident is a little special."

Zhu Zhuqing walked up to him and said softly, "The way you picked up the trident just now even surprised Senior Poseidon."

Shi Yi smiled but didn't respond. He turned and looked out the window, his eyes deep: "Maybe. But now, the most important thing is to let Bing'er have a good rest. After she recovers, we will face the next test."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "No matter what we face next, we will get through it together."

Shi Yi glanced at her, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Thank you, Zhu Qing."

Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly and said nothing more.
