Chapter 231 The Legend of the Peach Blossom Immortal; Tang San, So Enraged He Spits Blood

"These nine children who achieved top honors in the national exam were all taught by the same teacher?"

"Reporting to the High Priest, these nine geniuses who passed the top-level assessment all claimed to have studied at Peach Blossom Academy. Although their soul power is all between level 50 and 60, after being tested by the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, their physiques are even stronger than those of ordinary Soul Emperors, which is incredible."

"Peach Blossom Academy, a soul master academy that has never been heard of before, just who is this person who can teach nine students who are recognized by the Sea God?"

"Could it be... that their teacher is Lord Sea God?"

"Or rather... Peach Blossom Academy, Peach Blossom?"

In the Temple of Poseidon, High Priest Poseidon received a message from Seahorse Douluo. Sitting on the High Priest's throne, she gazed at the reflections of various places on Poseidon Island in the Poseidon Foam Mirror, and something suddenly came to mind.

Just recently, Tang Chen's remnant soul came to Seagod Island to find her 'old friend' and see her one last time. After a brief conversation, the remnant soul dissipated into the world.

During that brief conversation, Tang Chen mentioned the existence of a Peach Blossom Immortal. In his words, this Peach Blossom Immortal had an unparalleled figure and a peach blossom branch in his hand that possessed the power to create the heavens and earth. This was the most powerful he had ever seen, and even those with peak strength would find it difficult to compete with him.

It was only through the intervention of that fairy peach blossom that he was able to escape the control of the Crimson Bat King and see her one last time before he died.

At that time, she was still immersed in the grief of losing this 'old friend' who was more than a friend but not quite a lover, and she did not pay any attention to this immortal peach blossom.

But looking back now, Tang Chen was never inferior to anyone in his life. Even when facing her and Qian Daoliu, the two number one people under the gods, he never bowed his head and admitted defeat.

But when he was about to leave, he praised the immortal peach blossom without reservation, showing admiration and even awe, which shows that he was no ordinary person.

"Whether they are the disciples of the Sea God or the students of that ethereal Peach Blossom Immortal, as long as they can pass the test smoothly, then my mission will be over..."

Thinking of this, Poseidon transmitted her voice to Seahorse Douluo:

"We always pay attention to their safety and what they need. As long as it doesn't involve helping them pass assessments or crossing bottom lines, we meet their needs."

"Tang San, please also try to treat him well."

Poseidon hesitated for a moment, then added another sentence.

"As ordered."

"No! High Priest, we can't let the Seahorse monopolize all nine potential High Priest positions! We want to meet them too! Perhaps some of them are guardians who will succeed us."

At this moment, the guardian Douluos of the other six sacred pillars of Seagod Island also arrived outside the hall, respectfully bowed to the high priest, and then expressed their dissatisfaction.

It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!
For several years, none of the other six sacred pillars had even produced a potential candidate for the sixth level of the Black Rank Examination. However, the Seahorse Sacred Pillar suddenly produced nine Red and one Black examinees.

The entire revenue stream was eaten up by the Seahorse Douluo!
"Alright, if they can pass the assessment smoothly, they will come into contact with you sooner or later."

Poseidon spoke calmly to the other six Guardian Douluos.

The six guardians of the sacred pillars are: Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, Sea Illusion Douluo, Sea Ghost Douluo, Sea Star Douluo, and Sea Maiden Douluo.

……

The steps leading to the Temple of Poseidon resemble a jade ribbon hanging on Poseidon Mountain.

Below the steps, those who had passed the Sea God's test gathered, preparing to attempt to climb the Sea God's steps for the first time.

"Teacher, I have passed the Red Level Eight Trial! Our first test is to cross the light of the sea god and climb the steps of the sea god's temple."

"My sister, senior sister Yan'er, and I all need to climb 555 steps within a year to pass the first test."

"Senior Sister Yiran and Sister Xuewu are at level 488."

"The first test for Sister Hai Rou, Sister Ruo Shui, Sister Yu, and Sister Qing Bo is to climb 399 steps."

"That annoying guy Tang San, I wonder what level he is, hmph!" Shui Yue'er was her teacher's little clingy friend, and she would use the sound transmission conch to talk to her teacher whenever she had the chance.

"Everyone, don't be careless. I just inquired with the purple-robed soul masters from Seagod Island. In previous trials of crossing the Seagod's Light, it was already considered impressive for an ordinary Soul King to reach the sixty or seventyth level. Even genius Soul Masters at the sixty-something level Soul Emperor realm would generally not exceed the two hundredth level. However, our trial requires climbing at least four hundred levels, which is something even top-tier Soul Saints might not be able to do. And we are basically all at the Soul King level."

Shui Bing'er spoke up.

Meanwhile, as the eldest of the nine disciples, Meng Yiran had already ascended the steps and, feeling the power of the Sea God's Light, quickly made a summary:

“Junior sisters, I have experienced it. This Sea God’s Light is similar to a negative pressure force that hinders our progress. We have all undergone medicinal baths and tempering by our teachers at the academy, making our bodies stronger than Soul Masters of the same realm. However, the negative pressure of this Sea God’s Light can further stimulate our body’s potential. Therefore, you can use Soul Skill amplification and techniques after your body reaches its negative pressure limit, which will benefit our cultivation.”

"Okay, let's show the teacher our potential! Success is the only option, failure is not an option!"

The other female students encouraged and cheered each other on before starting to climb the steps one after another, testing their current limits.

Soon, led by Meng Yiran, Dugu Yan, and Shui Bing'er, they had already reached the fiftieth level in a short period of time!

Following them are Shui Yue'er, Shen Liuyu, Yu Hairou, Qiu Ruoshui, Gu Qingbo, and Xue Wu.

Even Xue Wu, who is a support-type character, followed closely behind and quickly reached level 30, and her speed was no weaker than that of other attack-type and agility-type students.

Upon hearing Shui Bing'er reveal the information about their first test, Tang San's expression changed. He quickly pulled out his own first test card, which contained the following:
[First Trial: Traverse the Light of Poseidon. Hint: Proceed to the core forbidden area of ​​Poseidon Island. Reaching the first 156 steps of the forbidden area is considered passing the test. Time limit: One year.]

One hundred and fifty-six steps, less than a third of Shui Bing'er's?!

Not only was he no match for Shui Yue'er, but even Qiu Ruoshui and Gu Qingbo, who were just there for the Soul Master Competition, faced nearly twice the challenges he had!

How can this be? !
"Does the Sea God really believe that their talent and strength far surpass mine?!"

"I do not believe!"

"Poseidon, you've misjudged!"

Tang San was somewhat skeptical and unwilling to believe that he had fallen so low that he was inferior to even Shui Yue'er and Qiu Ruoshui.

His footing suddenly sank as he stepped onto the forbidden area's steps.

As soon as I put my foot down, I felt a pressure and a pushing force coming at me.

Unlike Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan, who were at ease, Tang San's face turned ashen as he struggled to move forward at just the twentieth or thirtieth step. His spirits, Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer, erupted, and five spirit rings, yellow, purple, and black, appeared.

He could only grit his teeth and move forward.

When Tang San reached the fortieth step, he could barely move. The Eight Spider Lances on his back extended and appeared, supporting the steps below and allowing him to catch his breath for a moment. Then, he used the momentum to move forward and climbed a few more steps. Even the Eight Spider Lances were trembling slightly.

Immediately, the Blue Silver Domain and the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone took effect, allowing him to hold on until the 55th step. His body finally could not withstand the pressure, and he was thrown out with a bang, crashing heavily onto the platform in front of the forbidden area, lying on the ground like a toad.

Tang San coughed sharply and looked at the nine students of Peach Blossom Academy.

They discovered that Dugu Yan and Shui Bing'er, the leaders of Taoyuan Academy, were emitting a faint light, and had actually reached the hundredth step!

And that doesn't seem to be their limit; they're still striving for even greater heights.

Even Xue Wu, the lowest-ranking support-type Soul Master, and Qiu Ruoshui and Gu Qingbo, who had lower Soul Power, reached the 70th level!

"puff--"

Seeing this, Tang San's blood boiled, and he spat out a mouthful of jealous blood onto his palm:
"Has the gap between us really gotten this big?!"

"Am I... am I really not even as good as any one of them?!"
