Chapter 141: Sea God Temple, First Test
"Please complete the God Test as soon as possible, Lord Mo Hui!"
Looking at Poseidon's persistent urging, Mo Hui felt surprised but also gained a clearer understanding of the Sea God's urgency.
After all, he remembered that the final trial of the Sea God's Nine Tests seemed to require Poseidon to sacrifice herself. And now, she was urging him to begin the test as soon as possible. If not under the Sea God's pressure, there couldn't be a second reason for her eagerness.
Poseidon looked at Mo Hui with clear, deep blue eyes and asked,
"Does Lord Mo Hui need to rest first? If you do, I can arrange everything immediately."
"Let me rest for a day. I've been cultivating for quite a while before this," Mo Hui replied without hesitation.
Mo Hui didn't want to begin the Sea God Trial too quickly. Firstly, he had spent a long time cultivating in the sky, and the insights he gained from understanding the wind element group still needed to be fully digested. Secondly, he needed time to process all that had happened today.
The sudden arrival of the Sea God's Nine Tests had caught him completely off guard, disrupting his original plan. Now, he had to re-plan everything in order to optimize his growth trajectory.
"Understood."
Poseidon nodded, then gave Seahorse Douluo some serious instructions.
Later, Mo Hui returned to Seahorse City to rest. Although the level of hospitality was raised, aside from the inhabitants of Sea God Island treating him with greater reverence, his lifestyle remained mostly unchanged.
After all, Sea God Island wasn't like the mainland—it didn't have an abundance of extravagance. Everything it had was already offered to him the last time.

The next day, when Mo Hui walked out the door, Poseidon was already waiting outside.
Seeing him emerge, Poseidon smiled and asked,
"Did Lord Mo Hui rest well last night?"
"I haven't felt this peaceful in a long time," Mo Hui replied while stretching.
"Then, when will Lord Mo Hui begin the trial?" Poseidon blinked, tilting her head curiously.
"Right now."
Mo Hui leapt onto Pidgeot's back and reached out his hand to Poseidon, saying,
"Senior Poseidon, want to come along? Pidgeot's really fast."
However, Poseidon simply shook her head. She wouldn't dare.
Pidgeot was the inheritor of the God of Wind—how could she treat it as a means of transport?
That said, Poseidon quickly noticed something interesting in Mo Hui's words and asked in surprise,
"You know the location of the first test?"
Mo Hui replied,
"I have a guess. The 'Light of the Sea God' should refer to the light that shines from the temple at the center of Sea God Island.
Combined with the staircase, the test location should be the steps in front of the temple, right?"
In truth, Mo Hui had read the original novel. His first test was identical to the one in the book, so he naturally knew the location.
Even without that knowledge, when he arrived at Sea God Island, he had viewed the whole place from the sky. Based on the description of the first test, he could still make an accurate guess.
Poseidon nodded thoughtfully.
"You guessed correctly. The first trial of the Sea God's Nine Tests does take place on the staircase before the temple at the heart of Sea God Island."
After speaking, Poseidon gently rose into the air, gesturing for Mo Hui to follow her, then turned into a streak of blue light and shot forward.
---
"Pidgeot, follow her!"
Mo Hui patted Pidgeot's body.
"Beep~"
Pidgeot responded, flapping his wings and lifting into the sky. In a flash, he turned into a streak of green light and caught up with Poseidon almost instantly—even though she'd already set out ahead of them.
Seeing Mo Hui catch up so quickly atop Pidgeot, Poseidon suddenly felt tempted to test his capabilities.
After all, this was someone favored by both the God of Wind and the Sea God. She was deeply curious—just how talented was Mo Hui to earn such attention from two divine beings?
She picked up speed. With a powerful sonic boom, she broke the sound barrier and pushed forward with all her strength.
Yet, sensing behind her, Poseidon was stunned.
Mo Hui, riding Pidgeot, remained right behind her—barely ten meters away, never losing ground.
He truly is worthy of the Sea God's choice!
Bo Saixi (Poseidon's human identity) silently praised him.
The speed she had just demonstrated wasn't inferior to that of an average Title Douluo, yet Mo Hui kept pace effortlessly.
This meant that the speed of Mo Hui's martial spirit, Pidgeot, actually surpassed the top speed of most Title Douluo.
For a Spirit Emperor, that was truly shocking!
Even the Sharp-tailed Swift, once hailed as the fastest martial spirit in the Douluo Continent, couldn't achieve this level of speed as a Spirit Emperor.
In other words, Pidgeot was far faster than the Sharp-tailed Swift.
Although extremely satisfied with Mo Hui's performance, Bo Saixi increased her speed again to test his limits.
Yet to her surprise, even after reaching her maximum speed, the gap between them didn't widen at all.
Mo Hui and Pidgeot still maintained that same distance—and she could sense that Pidgeot still hadn't used its full strength!
It was only now that Bo Saixi truly understood why the God of Wind had chosen Mo Hui.
In common understanding, wind was synonymous with speed—and Mo Hui's speed perfectly embodied that concept.

Although Seahorse City was about 200 miles from the central forbidden zone where the Sea God Temple was located, under Poseidon's full-speed flight, it only took them about two or three minutes to arrive and land above the temple.
After dismounting, Mo Hui stepped off Pidgeot and gazed around in admiration.
The surrounding sea shimmered in the morning glow, reflecting dazzling colors in the water.
The Sea God Temple stood tall, like a sculpture carved from pure white jade—radiating sacred brilliance.
And before Mo Hui's eyes, a flight of one thousand and one white stone steps descended from the temple, stretching like a jade ribbon down the Sea God Mountain, breathtakingly beautiful.
However, just as Mo Hui was admiring the view, in the circular sea behind them, countless massive black shadows surged up from the water—racing straight toward him.
"Beep~"
Pidgeot frowned. These shadows were only at the level of thousand-year soul beasts, yet they dared to attack them?
Ignorance.
Raising his wings, Pidgeot flapped strongly—and a massive storm suddenly erupted across the area!
The incoming creatures were swept back into the lake in an instant.
This was Pidgeot showing mercy. If he'd truly used force, those black shadows would have been instantly annihilated.
