Douluo: Shark Hunting Blade, Lurking in the Dark!

Chapter 10: Conversation with Poseidon
boom!
A sacred golden light descended in front of the Seahorse Holy Pillar.

A white-haired woman holding a purple-gold scepter slowly walked out from the golden light. With every step she took, she exuded an extremely strong pressure that made people tremble!
Lan looked at Poseidon walking in the air, and his pupils shrank slightly.

How could the aura of this white-haired woman be so terrifying?
Titled Douluo...even stronger! ?
Poseidon glanced at everything around her, and finally her eyes fell on Lan.

"Young man, what's your name?"

Poseidon said softly.

"Lan."

"Lan...what is your purpose in coming to Poseidon Island?"

"Become stronger."

Lan didn't hesitate at all.

Poseidon nodded, then she looked at the colorful card in front of the Seahorse Holy Pillar and said softly: "The content of your assessment is unprecedented. It was tailored for you by the Lord of the Sea personally."

"And I will be the prosecutor of your assessment trial. During the assessment, you can freely choose to withdraw from the assessment midway. This is a right granted to you by Lord Poseidon."

Hearing what Poseidon said,
Haiba Douluo and Xiaobai instantly lost their composure!
It was already extremely shocking that Lord Poseidon personally customized the assessment for Lan.

Not only that, Lan actually has the ability to quit the assessment midway!
This is simply unprecedented.

All soul masters who participate in the Sea God's assessment must complete the assessment within the specified time, otherwise they will lose their lives.

This is the rule that has remained unchanged for thousands of years!

After all, passing the assessment can earn you extremely generous rewards, improving your soul power level, soul ring age, and even a god-given soul ring!
Where there are rewards, there are also punishments.

If you fail to complete the assessment, you will die.

But Lord Poseidon actually gave Lan the right to withdraw from the assessment?
Could this Lan be the illegitimate son of Lord Poseidon?
Xiaobai murmured in his heart.

Assessment without restrictions is no different from simply giving money to others.

Just like the top red test, after passing the test, the reward is extremely generous, and you will become the successor of the high priest of Poseidon Island, but by then it will be difficult for you to leave Poseidon Island.

Freedom will most likely be restricted.

Ke Lan is different. As long as he wants, he can get the assessment reward for free and get away with it.

Coupled with Lan's ability to control the sea, it is hard for Xiaobai not to think that he is an illegitimate child.

Lan naturally understood this truth.

There is no free lunch in the world.

For a moment, he hesitated.

Because this is a choice involving freedom, he is very cautious.

If the power comes at the cost of losing freedom, he would rather not have it.

Poseidon seemed to see through Lan's thoughts and said calmly, "Lan, come with me to the Sea God Temple."

"Lord Poseidon wants to see you."

Under the shocked gazes of Seahorse Douluo and Xiaobai, Lan followed Poseidon and left.

There are dozens of holy pillars displayed in the Temple of Poseidon. At the deepest part of the temple sits a platform with a golden trident deeply inserted into the ground, emitting a sacred aura all the time.

Lan looked at the Trident of Poseidon in front of him and actually felt an extremely strong pressure.

This kind of pressure is unprecedented...

It seems to come from God.

"Lord Poseidon, Lan has been brought here."

Poseidon knelt down and worshiped the trident of Poseidon.

Suddenly

The Trident of Poseidon produced a strong energy fluctuation, and Lan's consciousness instantly drifted away from this world and was pulled into a void space.

Lan stepped on the sea level.

In front of him was a majestic figure standing between heaven and earth!
The figure held the same trident of Poseidon as the one in the Temple of Poseidon, with the vast ocean behind him, surrounded by golden light, and an ethereal aura that made people want to kneel down and worship him!
Lan looked up at the tall figure, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes.

What a terrifying sense of oppression!
He... could he be the legendary sea god?
The sea god looked at Lan, his face was covered by a layer of shadow, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

"Young man, your name is Lan, right?"

"Yeah." Lan responded calmly, his expression as calm as ever.

For a person who has no fear of death,

Even if the person standing before him was a legendary god, it would not shake his state of mind.

Especially after Lan completely broke the old shackles of the past.

Lan today has completely transformed.

"interesting."

The sea god chuckled, then gently waved the sea god trident in his hand.

In an instant!
The entire ocean was shaking violently, and the boundless sea water turned into a tsunami and rushed straight into the sky, as if the entire ocean was hanging upside down in the sky, destroying the world with a single move!

This is God.

In a single thought, the world changes dramatically.

"Lan, do you want to possess the power of God?"

"With your talent, you can definitely inherit my throne as Sea God, become the next generation of Sea God, gain endless lifespan, and ascend to the realm of the gods!"

The ethereal voice of the sea god echoed quietly in this world.

Lan raised his head slightly, his narrow and deep eyes as calm as autumn water.

"I crave power but not yours."

"Inheriting someone else's power and using someone else's moves are meaningless to me."

"The world only knows the Sea God, but not you."

What Lan desires is freedom in the absolute sense.

Everything is with me, and nothing is with me.

The Sea God was silent for a moment, then he laughed: "As I expected, you will not choose to inherit my throne."

"That's right. With your talent, you can take a stronger path and even surpass me."

Before becoming a god, Poseidon was also a soul master in Douluo Continent. He possessed extraordinary talent and fought in the sea all his life, maintaining the peace of the Douluo Sea world, gaining the faith of all living beings, and eventually creating his own godhood, Poseidon.

He is said to be the god of the sea, but in fact he is a soul master who maintains order in the sea and possesses strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

There are two paths to becoming a god.

The first is to gain the favor of the gods, complete the test given by them, and inherit their throne.

This is the simplest and most direct way.

The second one is extremely difficult, which is when the soul master uses his own talent to break through the shackles of the body and create his own godhood, just like the god of the sea.

This kind of god is also called the first generation god.

The first generation of gods were all powerful beings.
Especially in terms of mood.

"In that case, I will not say anything more. I personally gave you the test, and it is extremely difficult, even as difficult as the Nine Tests of Poseidon. Passing the test will be of great help to your strength."

"If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to my Poseidon Island. The door of Poseidon Island is always open to you."

Poseidon spoke slowly.

"Thank you."

Lan bowed slightly to the sea god.

Although he didn't understand why the Sea God took such good care of him, he seemed to be able to feel that the other party had no ill intentions.

Or,

From the very beginning, the God of the Sea had no intention of letting Lan inherit his throne.

Immediately afterwards, Lan was sent out of the void space.

On the vast sea, the sea god raised his head slightly.

"The sea is about to welcome its true master"
