Douluo: Wuhun Bone Dragon, I am the Undead Scourge

Chapter 132 The Sea God's Trial?

Poseidon Temple.

After Ning Fengzhi, Chenxin, and Gurong took their seats one after another.

Poseidon, leaning on her priestly throne, was like a phantom in the sea. Her gaze swept over Chen Xin, and her lips parted slightly: "Young friend, your talent is indeed astonishing. To reach level 98 at such a young age without relying on external forces, if I am not mistaken, you are only one step away from level 99, aren't you?"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze. The three of them exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The woman before him had skin as smooth as jade and hair as black as a waterfall. Her appearance and complexion were almost identical to those of Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall. The way she addressed him as "young friend" seemed like a fantasy.

Seemingly sensing the doubts in their hearts, Poseidon lightly stroked the sea god gem pendant on her chest, her gaze fixed on the surging waves outside the hall: "You've lived on the mainland for so long, do you still know Tang Chen's whereabouts? Is he... alright?"

Her voice trembled slightly at the end, carrying a hint of barely perceptible worry.

The group exchanged glances and naturally understood the unspoken meaning behind Poseidon's words.

That means Tang Chen and I are of the same generation.

Ning Fengzhi's heart stirred slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Senior Poseidon, Senior Tang Chen disappeared decades ago. Various forces have searched the entire continent, but his fate remains unknown."

A fleeting sadness crossed Poseidon's eyes. Had he forgotten our promise?
"I will not return until I become a god!"

The promise made back then still rings in my ears, but decades have passed and there has been no word from it.

Even if they didn't find the divine lineage, shouldn't they at least send a letter back?

Moreover, the divine trials are not difficult for Tang Chen. With his level 99 strength, he can easily overcome any divine trial.

It's worth noting that Poseidon passed the sea god's test in less than fifteen years.

As for whether Tang Chen might have an accident, that was not a concern for Poseidon.

After all, Tang Chen possessed a divine skill: the power of the Great Sumeru Hammer. Even Poseidon could only withstand it by relying on the power of the Sea God.

It can be said that no one on the entire continent can kill Tang Chen.

Unless, Tang Chen has already forgotten his promise to her.

That's it!

Poseidon quickly suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and refocused her gaze on Chen Xin.
Chen Xin replied, "What you say is true, senior. I am indeed just one step away from level 99."

Poseidon nodded slightly: "In that case, I am willing to lend you a hand, but I have one condition that you must agree to."

"Alright, please go ahead, senior!"

Chen Xin nodded in agreement without hesitation. Although it was just one step away from success, without the right opportunity, it might have been stuck for several more years.

Poseidon pondered for a moment with a solemn expression, then said, "I want you to bring Gu Feng from your sect to Seagod Island. He will undergo the Seagod's divine test of inheritance!"

"What!" Gu Rong exclaimed, his eyes filled with horror.

"What do you mean by this, senior?!"

Ning Fengzhi's expression also changed drastically, and he immediately felt that the three of them had walked into the lion's den!
The group never mentioned Gu Feng's name again after they set sail.

Could it be that the person in front of me has also been to the mainland?
"There's no need for that. If I really wanted to, I would have taken you all down with a single hand long ago."

Poseidon chuckled softly, and with a gentle wave of her hand, a vast and overwhelming pressure of soul power crashed down.

Ning Fengzhi felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer, and a metallic taste surged in his throat.

Although Chen Xin and Gu Rong stubbornly refused to kneel, cold sweat had already beaded on their foreheads. But the oppressive aura came quickly and went even faster, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Is this the terror of a level 99 Limit Douluo?

"Senior's divine might is truly awe-inspiring; we juniors have learned much from it."

Ning Fengzhi wiped away his cold sweat in a disheveled manner and bowed respectfully. Just a moment ago, he really felt like he was going to die.

Gu Rong's expression was solemn. He clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and said, "Senior has lived by the sea for a long time. May I ask how you learned of my Feng'er's whereabouts?"

Chen Xin gazed at the gleaming colossal statue of the sea god on the dome, and said thoughtfully, "Could it be... a divine decree?"

Poseidon nodded approvingly, his fingertips tracing the pale blue ripples that gathered in the air: "Indeed, now that you have touched the pinnacle of humanity, you should know that above level 99, there is a god-level realm. Your continent has the legend of the Angel God, and our Sea God Island also has the Sea God who protects the ocean."

A complex look flashed in her eyes: "The name Gu Feng was personally bestowed by the Sea God. To attract the attention of the divine realm, this child's talent is probably one in ten thousand years."

At this point, Poseidon's eyes were filled with envy, which almost turned into jealousy.

Everyone has selfish desires.

After all, Gu Feng was not her offspring, and she could not be as selfless as Qian Daoliu.

But the name of the sea god must eventually be inherited by someone.

The sharpness in Poseidon's eyes quickly softened.

Gu Rong's Adam's apple bobbed as he struggled to suppress the surging joy in his chest, his body trembling slightly with excitement: "Senior means that Feng'er can become the Sea God in the future?"

Poseidon nodded: "The succession of the divine position has always been fair. As long as he can pass the nine trials of the Sea God, the position of Sea God will naturally change hands."

Ning Fengzhi asked, "Senior, is there any danger to one's life in this divine assessment?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong also suppressed his joy and became serious.

Poseidon walked to the statue of the sea god, lightly touching the floating phantom of the sea god with her fingertip. A pale golden halo flowed within the hall: "Divine trials are like rowing against the current. Each challenge is a tempering of one's character and strength, but risk and opportunity are two sides of the same coin—"

As she turned around, she held a golden ball of light with mysterious patterns flowing in her palm: "As long as he breaks through a major realm, the Sea God will bestow upon him an exclusive soul ring. The soul rings of those hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts are nothing more than fireflies compared to the bright moon in front of the divinely bestowed soul rings."

"As long as his body can withstand it, there will be no limit to the lifespan of the divinely bestowed soul ring."

"Furthermore, during the divine trials, the Sea God will reward each successful trial with a boost of soul power."

Upon hearing this, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

God-given soul ring?

Moreover, as long as the body can withstand it, there is no limit to the lifespan of the spirit ring.
And there's also a soul power reward?

A hint of envy flashed in Chen Xin's eyes: "As expected of a divine blessing, it can freely increase the age of a soul ring and even grant soul power. It's truly a miracle!"

Gu Rong let out a low chuckle, slapping his calloused hand heavily on his thigh: "That brat always complains that I'm too strict. If he knew that our voyage would give him this opportunity..."

He paused, a proud gleam in his eyes: "When he returns with the Sea God's mantle, I'm afraid we old folks will all have to rely on his protection!"

Ning Fengzhi exclaimed, "Uncle Gu, you really have a fine grandson!"

Gu Rong was in high spirits and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha... I, Sun Gu Feng, have the potential to become a god!"
