In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 495 Gu Yuena defeats seven opponents single-handedly, her sword aimed at Seagod Island.

"Beep!"

The announcement for the next round of the competition came quickly, and the first player sent out by Blue Tyrant Academy was Ma Hongjun.

Watching Ma Hongjun leave the rest area, Huo Yuhao sat on the spacious bench, turned around and lay down slightly.

Unexpectedly, his leisurely movements caught Flander's attention. Flander plopped down next to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Yuhao, what's wrong with you lately?"

"What? What happened?"

A hint of confusion appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.

Flanders stared at him intently.

"I feel like you're not in good form lately. Is it because you lack confidence in this year's Soul Master Competition?"

"no."

Huo Yuhao replied casually.

But in his eyes, which weren't looking at Flander, the reflection of the ceiling revealed a hint of depth and helplessness.

How could I possibly have confidence...?

In his view, the two possible teams that would win the final victory in this Soul Master Competition were already determined from the very beginning: the main team of Martial Soul Academy and the team of Hidden Dragon Academy.

Both of these teams possess the strength to completely overwhelm Blue Tyrant. Although he had never seen the Martial Soul Academy's main team, he was quite certain of it.

As for the seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill that Tang San gave? Can the Blue Tyrant Team really keep this hidden until the final battle? You have to know that the Blue Tyrant Team's seven members alone can't even beat the Divine Wind Team.

Not long ago in the qualifiers, the Kamikaze team was completely crushed by the Hidden Dragon team...

Just as Huo Yuhao was lost in thought, a chorus of exclamations suddenly rang out around him.

He looked towards the arena and saw that the first person sent out by the opposing team was...

Gu Yuena!

A royal flush right off the bat?!

A look of surprise crossed his face, followed by a helpless shake of his head.

It’s over.

In the first match of the qualifying round, the Blue Tyrant team is about to be swept seven times and wiped out.

He had foreseen the future.

At this very moment, the audience, who were excitedly cheering for the stunning beauty of the Qianlong team's starting player "Gu Yue Na," or rather, for the incarnation of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na, "Na'er," had no idea what kind of humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex this girl was.

Oh, by the way, I should briefly mention that since the qualifying matches are not publicly announced, the audience in the Royal Hunting Grounds is basically composed of elite warriors from the Heaven Dou Empire—the Royal Knights.

On the Battle Arena.

When Ma Hongjun saw the silver-haired girl walking slowly towards him, he couldn't help but lower his head and focus on his inner thoughts.

He hadn't forgotten that just two years ago at the Soto City Grand Arena, he almost had his eyeballs gouged out because he glanced at these violent goddesses a few too many times.

"The match begins!"

Soon, with the referee's command, Ma Hongjun immediately began to possess his martial spirit.

At the same time, a silver dragon spear appeared in Na'er's hand. Strangely, her spirit rings did not appear.

One second later.

A silver light shone from Na'er's body, and Ma Hongjun completed the Martial Soul Possession.

Two seconds later.

Ma Hongjun activated his second soul skill, Phoenix Rebirth, and Na'er teleported in front of him to his disbelief.

Three seconds later.

Ma Hongjun's second soul skill had just taken effect when Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear struck his waist. He didn't have time to react, counterattack, or dodge before a strange force instantly knocked him off the Soul Arena.

Ma Hongjun is eliminated!

Sold out instantly!

"Whoosh—"

A chorus of exclamations erupted from all directions.

Na'er ignored it.

She simply twirled the spear lightly, then pointed the tip at the Blue Tyrant Academy's rest area:

"Next."

……

a few days later.

Just as the mainland qualifying competition was in full swing, on the boundless sea, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King suddenly revealed its true form, several times larger than before it became a god, its terrifying size almost filling an entire sea area.

On its massive whale head stood a figure calmly; it was none other than Wang Zhao.

"Let's go."

He gazed into the distance and said.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King let out a deep "hmm" sound, and then began to sail swiftly across the sea, like a majestic giant ship.

As for the destination, it was Poseidon Island, of course.

Today, Wang Zhao brought the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to Seagod Island with the intention of completely taking over Seagod Island from the Spirit Hall, but this was just a side effect.

The main problem is dealing with the Sea God. If Wang Zhao isn't mistaken, the Sea God should have left a wisp of divine thought in His land of inheritance, just like the angelic divine thought in the Hall of Worship in Martial Soul City.

Wang Zhao wanted to completely unify the entire Douluo Star in the next few years, so he naturally couldn't let go of such a transcendent existence as Seagod Island. Also, he couldn't leave behind the hidden danger of the Seagod's divine sense.

In addition, Wang Zhao had long coveted the vast amount of faith power that the Sea God had accumulated on Douluo Star over the years but could not take with him, as well as His super artifact, the Golden Trident.

At this point, Wang Zhao really wanted to complain: leaving his natal artifact in a lower plane—the Sea God must be one of a kind…

Oh no.

There seems to be another Asura God's Asura Demon Sword.

However, Wang Zhao felt that the golden trident on Poseidon Island was probably not a replica, but the Asura Demon Sword in Slaughter City was another matter entirely.

In the original story, during the battle between the two gods, without Xiao Wu's "second sacrifice," the performance of the Asura Demon Sword seemed to be inferior to that of the Golden Trident.

Wang Zhao suspected that the Asura Demon Sword currently held by Tang Chen, the puppet of the Slaughter City, was merely an ordinary divine artifact, a replica. In the original story, the sword Xiao Wu sacrificed for Tang San during the final battle between the two gods was actually the true super divine artifact, the Asura Demon Sword, which the Asura God had secretly thrown down to replace it.

Let's get back to the original topic.

Today, only Wang Zhao and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King are heading to Poseidon Island.

As for Gu Yuena, she returned to the Dragon Valley plane to cultivate and comprehend the heart of the Dragon God. However, she left a wisp of divine thought on Wang Zhao so that she could provide support if Wang Zhao was in danger.

However, Wang Zhao did not think that Gu Yuena's support would be needed on this trip.

After all, the greatest enemy on this journey is, unsurprisingly, the Sea God's divine will, which can unleash the power of a level 100 god by using the power of faith.

Wang Zhao learned about this from the angelic divine sense of Wuhun City. If the angelic divine sense could do it, there was no reason why the sea god's divine sense couldn't.

Wang Zhao's journey is aimed at Seagod Island, where he will soon face the Seagod's divine will, and he may also want to hone his current strength through Him.

As for...

High Priest Poseidon?

Seven titled Douluo guarding the sacred pillars?

Little White, a former follower of Poseidon?

They're nothing but ants.

Although the God Realm has been swept away by the spacetime turbulence, and human peak Soul Masters have the possibility of breaking through their bottlenecks and becoming level 100 gods on their own, it is clear that Poseidon's path to godhood is not so fast.

After all, even Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu are still in seclusion.
