Douluo: Shark Hunting Blade, Lurking in the Dark!

Chapter 114 Please, Lord of Guixu
The news that Saras was assassinated in Tiandou City spread throughout the continent, and the Tiandou Empire immediately put the blame on Lan. It was thought that the undercurrent that had been accumulating on the continent for a long time would completely erupt as a result.

But what is puzzling is that His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall did not say anything at all!

The status of a platinum bishop in the Spirit Hall is second only to the elders. The death of a platinum bishop can be used as an excuse by the Spirit Hall to force the Tiandou Empire.

The inaction of the Spirit Hall cast a veil of mystery over the impending storm.

At least one thing is certain: it won’t be long before things in mainland China change.

…………

A few days later, Poseidon Island.

Lan landed on Poseidon Island at the fastest speed.

Xiaobai and the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan were waiting for Lan's arrival. After landing on the Sea God Island, Lan did not waste any time. He went directly to the Temple of Sea God to find Poseidon and once again chose to communicate with the Sea God.

The Sea God must know more about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King than he does, and Lan also needs to figure out why the Sea God has been reluctant to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"My lord, Poseidon will take his leave."

Poseidon left the Temple of Poseidon.

Lan stood in front of the golden trident, closed his eyes, restrained his mind, built a bridge between himself and the golden trident, and his consciousness instantly came to a void space.

The Sea God looked down at Lan and slowly said, "What are you doing here?"

"Didn't I tell you last time that you have to walk the path to godhood on your own? I can't help you with anything."

Lan looked up at the Sea God and said calmly, "Senior, I am not here to seek help. I just want to ask you for information about a soul beast."

Hearing Lan's words, golden light shone behind the Sea God, and he said calmly, "Are you talking about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?"

Lan nodded.

Poseidon slowly said, "That guy does have some connection with me."

"You must be wondering why I didn't kill it, but only destroyed one of its eyes."

"The reason is simple. My philosophy is similar to yours. I don't want to interfere too much with the order of the ocean. The strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive."

"Moreover, it is also the most important assessment for me to select the successor to the Sea God throne."

The voice of the sea god echoed quietly between heaven and earth.

"Assessment?"

Lan asked in confusion.

The Sea God continued, "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has cultivated for a million years. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult and challenging for the examinees. Moreover, the benefits of killing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King are also extremely rich. The million-year-old spirit rings and spirit bones are of great help to the examinees."

"Not only the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but also the Evil Demon Killer Whale King you killed before is also one of the contents of my original assessment for the successor to the Sea God."

"Keep them so that you can best hone the examinees."

"This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Soul masters need soul rings and hunt soul beasts. Soul beasts can improve their cultivation by devouring soul masters."

"I will issue tasks to the examinees, asking them to kill designated soul beasts. If they succeed, they can proceed to the next assessment. If they fail, they will naturally be devoured by the soul beasts and become their nutrients."

“It’s relative.”

Hearing the words of Poseidon,

Lan felt that things were getting troublesome.

Who would have thought that this Deep Sea Demon Whale King would actually be an important test for the Sea God to select his successor?

Thus,
Lan's plan to hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has failed.

He had already received a lot of help from the Sea God before. From the Sea God's perspective, he shouldn't bother with him about this, but he couldn't just cut off the Sea God's inheritance, right?

Otherwise, what’s the difference between this and Yu Xiaogang?
The Sea God looked at Lan and chuckled, saying, "You want to hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, right?"

"Yes, it is indeed the best potion for you at the moment, and it can also make your strength improve by leaps and bounds."

"If you want to kill it, just go ahead and kill it." The sudden words from the Sea God shocked Lan.

The Sea God actually agreed to let him hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?
Before Lan could ask, the Sea God said leisurely: "The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is a mortal soul beast. I can't control your desire to kill it. It is natural for soul masters to hunt soul beasts. There is nothing to say about this."

"If you are worried about my position as the God of the Sea, there is no need to worry."

"Even without the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the Sea God's throne can still be passed down."

"And don't forget your identity, Lan."

"You are the Lord of Guixu, the Lord of the Ocean. Everything in the ocean originally belongs to you. You are just taking what belongs to you."

"I can't control it, and I don't have the right to control it."

"Compared to me, you are the true master of the sea."

"understand?"

The words of the sea god kept echoing in Lan's mind.

This is my thing.
Lan looked a little dazed.

"It seems that you haven't fully adapted to your identity yet."

"Also, you have to repay me for all the help I've given you. You don't really think I'm some high and mighty, selfless god, do you?"

There was a hint of smile in Poseidon's tone.

After hearing this, Lan slowly said, "Senior, please feel free to speak. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Lan never thought there was a free lunch in the world.

"it is good."

Then, the Sea God looked at Lan and slowly said, "Help me find a successor who can inherit the Sea God's throne."

"Although I can overlook the world, I cannot see through everyone."

"I have waited for tens of thousands of years, but have never found someone who can inherit the throne of the God of the Sea."

"I hope you can help me find it."

"please"

"The Lord of Guixu."

Faced with the request of the sea god, Lan agreed without hesitation.

He owed so much to the Sea God, and also indirectly affected the inheritance of the Sea God's throne. Even if the Sea God didn't say it, Lan would take the initiative to help the Sea God find a suitable successor in the future.

"You need to pay more attention to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. It has gone through several calamities and has cultivated for nearly a million years. It is already a demigod. No soul master in the mortal world can kill it."

The words of Poseidon were not exaggerated;
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is equivalent to a peak level 99 warrior, and he is in the sea. Even Poseidon can't get any advantage, let alone Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen.

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me."

"Lan will keep the matter of finding the successor in mind. Goodbye."

After saying that, Lan's consciousness left the void space.

The God of the Sea looked at the open space where Lan left, and his voice rang out in this empty world.

"From now on, the Sea God's throne has nothing to do with me."

"Lord of Guixu, it's your turn to have a headache."

"I hope the throne of Poseidon will never be tarnished in your hands."

The sea god's chuckle echoed leisurely.

There is also a sense of relief.
