Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 90, Fifth Place on the Opportunity Ranking: Seagod Island!

Haotian Sect.

Tang Xiao and several elders looked solemn.

They all knew that Tang Hao had entered the City of Slaughter and obtained the God of Slaughter Domain.

"The City of Slaughter... The Legacy of the Asura God..."

Tang Xiao said in a deep voice, "Brother Hao walked out of this place back then and his strength increased greatly. Although this place is dangerous, it is also an opportunity for the strong to transform."

The elders exchanged glances, clearly considering whether to send the sect's top disciples to take the risk.

After all, the allure of the God of Slaughter Domain is too great.

……

Yu Yuanzhen, from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, shook his head with a wry smile:
"My soul skills are sealed? Most of my strength lies in my martial soul and soul skills. Entering this place is no different from seeking death. Forget it, such an opportunity is not meant for my clan."

He became even more determined to cling to the Honkai Academy.

……

Poseidon Island.

Far away on the ocean, Poseidon observed the heavens through special means. When she saw the City of Slaughter, she sighed softly:

"The site of the Asura God's inheritance has also appeared... The continent is truly about to descend into complete chaos."

She sensed a mysterious pull from fate, seemingly connected to a being burdened with the destinies of both the Sea God and the Asura God, but the secrets of heaven were obscure and difficult to discern.

The appearance of the Slaughter City was like dropping a depth charge on a continent already rife with undercurrents.

Unlike Dragon Valley, which directly provokes conflict between soul beasts and humans, or Angel Temple, which symbolizes order and power, it represents the most primitive and cruel laws of survival and the allure of power.

It is foreseeable that countless power-hungry and fearless desperados and ambitious individuals will flock to that bloody land, for the God of Slaughter's Domain, and for that sliver of hope, the [Slaughter Crystal]!
Meanwhile, the Honkai Academy remained like a beacon in the world, calmly observing everything, its gaze already fixed on something much more distant.

……

The golden light of the Heavenly Ranking shimmered, and the dark red and bloody scene of the killing city slowly faded away, replaced by an endless expanse of blue!

The vast ocean shimmered, and in the middle of the sea, an island shrouded in a rainbow of light, resembling a fairyland, gradually came into view.

The island is covered with lush vegetation, and a huge temple stands majestically, exuding an aura of peace, vastness, and a touch of majesty.

[Ranking #5 on the Opportunity List - Poseidon Island]

[Location of the opportunity: Located deep in the vast ocean, protected by natural currents and mist, it is difficult to reach without permission or special guidance.]

[Opportunity Description: This place is the center of ocean worship and the sacred site for the inheritance of the Sea God's Way! The island has a systematic and rigorous Sea God assessment, from the lowest level Yellow Level assessment to the highest level Nine Trials, covering all aspects of talent, temperament, perseverance, and practical experience.]

Those who pass the corresponding tests will receive generous rewards such as increased affinity with the Sea God, increased Soul Ring age, and divinely bestowed Soul Rings. If they can pass the final "Nine Trials of the Sea God," they can inherit the position of a first-level deity—the Sea God, wielding the power of the ocean and commanding the power of the vast sea!
Compared to other places of inheritance, Seagod Island boasts the most comprehensive assessment system with relatively clear entry requirements. It doesn't solely rely on bloodline, providing a relatively "accessible" path to godhood for those with exceptional talent and unwavering will. This is why Seagod Island has been able to cultivate numerous powerful individuals, becoming a terrifying force capable of rivaling the Spirit Hall of the mainland! [Heavenly Reward: The Heavenly Dao recognizes the inheritance path of this system and bestows the blessings of the ocean:]

Poseidon's Light Affinity: The Poseidon's Light enveloping the entire island will become gentler and more guiding, slightly increasing the initial Poseidon's Affinity of all participants and reducing the Soul Power consumption for lower-level assessments.

A supreme treasure descends—the [Tidal Sacred Pearls]: three blue pearls containing the laws of tides and the power of the pure ocean, gathered at the core of the Sea God Mountain.

The possessor of this bead can activate "Tidal Protection" once during the Sea God's Trial, greatly increasing resistance to marine environmental factors such as water pressure and waves for a short period. Furthermore, it increases efficiency by 50% when conducting ocean-related trials! This bead is an excellent auxiliary treasure for passing the Sea God's Trial!

……

The announcement of this opportunity brought a shock unlike any other before!

It lacks the awe-inspiring weight of Dragon Valley's history, the cruel coldness of the Killing City, the xenophobia of the Angel Temple, and the eeriness of the Rakshasa Secret Realm.

As long as one is willing to join the Seagod Island faction, even a Soul Master with low talent has the opportunity to participate in the Seagod God Trial to prove themselves.

Compared to the hypocritical temple, Poseidon Island appears so majestic and radiant!
"Poseidon Island! It's actually Poseidon Island!"

"A legendary overseas force that can rival the Spirit Hall!"

"Such a systematic and profound test... from low to high, step by step!"

"A divinely bestowed spirit ring! It increases the age of my spirit ring! This reward is incredible!"

"That [Tide Sacred Pearl] is practically a divine artifact tailor-made for the Sea God's trial!"

Countless Soul Masters, especially those with exceptional talent but lacking opportunities, or whose Martial Souls are related to the ocean or water elements, had an unprecedented gleam in their eyes!
This is a visible and tangible path to godhood!
……

Honkai Impact 3rd Academy, Plaza.

Upon seeing the magnificent blue Poseidon Island, the faculty and students of the academy discussed it animatedly, their attitudes now showing a mixture of scrutiny and approval.

"Wow, this place looks so beautiful! It's much more comfortable than those other gloomy or bloody places!" Kiana gave a direct evaluation.

"The energy field is stable and vast, the rule system is complete, and it has a complete selection and training mechanism. In database comparison... its system surpasses the Spirit Hall's Angelic Inheritance, and it has some similarities with the academy's low-level training system, but its upper limit is clearly locked." Bronya's Heavy Bunny quickly analyzed.

Fu Hua nodded slightly and objectively commented, "Education without discrimination, a clear system, and a gradual approach—this path of inheritance is close to the prototype of a sect or academy. It is a dignified and righteous path and deserves recognition. However, its ultimate goal is still to inherit the established divine position, which has its limitations."

Theresa crossed her arms and nodded: "Hmm, it looks like a proper place for cultivation, much better than that Killing City."

"However, compared to our academy's Void Treasury Library, which can directly connect to knowledge from all worlds and customize growth paths, and the simulated scenes created by various soul tools, it is still not flexible or high-end enough."

Himeko, carrying her greatsword, laughed and said, "It sounds like a good place to lay a foundation, especially the Tide Body Tempering, which should be helpful for honing the physical body. However, it's not very attractive to those of us who have already embarked on our own paths."

Zhang Yi gazed calmly at Poseidon Island, a barely perceptible hint of admiration finally appearing in his eyes.

"It is not easy for Poseidon, the High Priest of Poseidon Island, to manage this inheritance system. It is already rare that this inheritance system has been able to be passed down stably on Douluo Star for so many years."
