"Oh, Sea God Granddaddy! Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Oh? What favor?" Poseidon asked with some curiosity.
"It's just… can you please take back your trials? I refuse your trials."
What? What did you say?!
Poseidon was clearly stunned. He dug his ears, looked at the boy in disbelief, and then said,
"You, you, you, you! What did you say? Say it again?"
After Wang Yi heard the Sea God's words again, he lowered the hand that was covering his ears and repeated himself.
"I said, Sea God Granddaddy, please take back your decree. I don't want your Sea God God Position!"
This time, Wang Yi practically roared it out. In fact, what Wang Yi was thinking internally was, "You hurry up and persuade me, that way I can make demands. Your Seagod Nine Trials are so difficult, what if it's like the original story and I get screwed?"
Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Yi's words again, Poseidon's face froze. His face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
He had never thought that someone would refuse. One must know that it was becoming a god! This wasn't like cheap cabbage where you could just send down a God Trial whenever you wanted. And this kid in front of him really made Poseidon's head ache. This kid just didn't follow the usual path.
Poseidon said helplessly, "Little fellow, are you serious? This is a God Position inheritance. If you become a god, you'll have infinite Life, and I, the Sea God, am also a first-rank God King, a very strong one in the God Realm. Besides, this God Position isn't like cheap cabbage! It's not something you can just have whenever you want. You must think this through."
It was clear that Poseidon was getting anxious. If this kid ran off, where would he find someone with such good talent again?
Wang Yi, however, still shook his head helplessly, secretly laughing to himself, "Yes! Just like that, Sea God old man, hurry up and persuade me again."
"I know that God Position inheritance is not easy to obtain, but have you ever thought that my current state simply cannot pass your trials?"
Uh… Poseidon was very confused, but then he seemed to have thought of something.
Seeing his expression, Wang Yi said without hesitation, "Your trials probably won't be that easy to pass, let alone that I am currently just a Spirit Master, not even a Spirit Grandmaster. If I were a Titled Douluo, I wouldn't care about your trials at all, but I'm just a Spirit Master. With your trials, even if they're slightly difficult, I'd be hard-pressed to endure them. So, I still want to live. Please! Let me go, Sea God Granddaddy!"
After Wang Yi finished speaking, he bowed repeatedly to Poseidon, basically saying he couldn't accept his God Trials. The meaning was, "This young master still has to live, where do I have time to fight for my life here? Isn't living well enough? Must I participate in God Trials to seek death?"
Cough cough, the Sea God's originally majestic and lofty image, upon hearing the words "Please let me go, Sea God Granddaddy," his body swayed a little. Even if Poseidon had a thick skin, he felt a bit red-faced at this moment.
Cough cough, Poseidon coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, then regained his majestic expression and said, "Don't worry about that. I will lower the difficulty of your trials, but the corresponding rewards will also decrease. If you can accept this, it's not impossible."
Anyway, lowering the trials is no problem! But the rewards must also be lowered, after all, being a god requires principles.
"Damn it, he talked for a long time, and it was useless against this old man! And lower the rewards? Alright, I have a trump card too, just you wait!"
Wang Yi pretended to be anxious and spoke his inner thoughts.
"Sea God Granddaddy, it's not that I don't want your Seagod Nine Trials, but I really don't have time. How about you wait until I return from Slaughter City, and when I have some strength, you give me the Nine Trials then, alright?"
Sure enough! Poseidon's expression immediately changed when he heard that Wang Yi was going to Slaughter City, and he became a little anxious at the same time.
Slaughter City was Shura's territory. If Shura saw him, then this inheritor would definitely be gone.
"No, you cannot go to Slaughter City!" Poseidon said sternly.
However, when Poseidon saw Wang Yi's resentful gaze, he finally had no choice but to relax the conditions.
"How about this, as long as you participate in the trials, I'll try my best to satisfy any demands you have, how about that?"
Looking at the Sea God's appearance, Wang Yi was truly speechless.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "How much do you want to give away your God Position? But it doesn't matter, I can finally make my demands."
"It's not difficult to make me participate in the Nine Trials, you just need to agree to three conditions."
"Oh? What are those three conditions?"
Poseidon was somewhat happy to see Wang Yi finally compromise, but Wang Yi then mentioned three conditions, which made him a bit curious again.
"First, the difficulty of my trials must be lowered, and the rewards must be increased. You don't want me to be killed by others in the early stages, do you? As long as I become stronger and tell others outside that I am the Sea God's inheritor, you will also have face, won't you?"
Poseidon frowned. How could he not know what Wang Yi was planning? But he was also right; if he became stronger, he would also have face in the God Realm. Men, they all love face, let alone a god? "Good! I agree!" Poseidon nodded in agreement, and at the same time, he gave Wang Yi a meaningful look, thinking, "So you, kid, were waiting for me here?"
Seeing Poseidon's gaze, he knew his thoughts had been exposed, but it didn't matter. Since he had agreed to the first condition, it meant he didn't object.
"Second, I hope you extend the trial time. Add three years to the original duration of each trial, but once I become a Spirit Emperor, I won't need these three years. I need to become as strong as possible in the early stages. Additionally, I need permission to leave Sea God Island to cultivate, but don't worry, I will definitely complete the trials on time."
Poseidon thought for a moment and finally agreed. It was only an additional three years, which was only three days in the God Realm.
"The last one is also very simple, I need a bodyguard."
"Ah? A bodyguard?"
"Yes, I'm only at level thirteen. It's so dangerous outside, so of course I need a bodyguard."
Wang Yi then recounted the incident of the pirate group being wiped out, encountering the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and finally the fight with Xiao Bai.
"You heard it. If I wasn't so awesome, I probably would have kicked the bucket already. So, the importance of a bodyguard goes without saying."
Hearing what Wang Yi said, the Sea God's mouth twitched. He thought to himself, "This kid is truly brave! Killing one Spirit Grandmaster, two Spirit Elders, and one Spirit Ancestor is one thing, but even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King suffered a loss at this kid's hands. Not only that, but Xiao Bai was also the same. However, thinking about it differently, it's not the same. The more Poseidon looked at Wang Yi, the more shocked and delighted he became, because this kid was too much to his liking."
"Alright, this last condition is also no problem. I will tell Poseidon about it then. Now, can you accept my God Trials, kid?"
"No problem, Sea God Granddaddy, as you've seen, I have three Spirits. Can you give me a few more god-bestowed spirit rings during the trials?"
Hearing this, Poseidon pondered for a while. If this were heard by other gods, it would definitely be a no, because god-bestowed spirit rings also require power to condense. If their own inheritance grounds were on Douluo Star, it would be fine, but if not, giving even one would be the utmost benevolence. However, Poseidon didn't care about these things, because he had enough power of faith to condense god-bestowed spirit rings, so Poseidon only thought for a moment and then agreed.
Just as Wang Yi said, the stronger his inheritor was, the more face he would have.
Wang Yi was very happy at the sight and quickly said, "Thank you, Sea God Granddaddy!"
"Alright, alright, brat, when you wake up, go and complete the trials."
"Oh! Right, try not to use your third Spirit if possible. I feel it hasn't fully awakened yet. Even I couldn't touch that sword just now."
In fact, when he bestowed the God Trials upon Wang Yi, his divine sense had already entered his sea of consciousness. At that time, he saw that sword standing in the middle of Wang Yi's sea of consciousness.
On either side were a Blue Silver Grass and a blue-purple figure whose eyes were blood-red, and they were a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan.
Poseidon didn't feel anything special when he sensed those two Spirits; the main thing was that sword. The sword body alone exuded endless might.
Poseidon wanted to go forward to examine it but was struck flying by a powerful sword qi. His divine sense was almost dispersed. Poseidon was not convinced, so he gathered his strength and went forward again, but this time it was even worse than the last.
In the end, he was also helpless, but this kid Wang Yi definitely couldn't escape, which was why Poseidon clung to him. Want to run? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Outside, after Poseidon controlled Wang Yi's body and came out of the Shenwei Space, he saw Poseidon and the others who were about to leave and said, "Poseidon, I am the Sea God. This child's body is currently under my control. His physical condition is not good; immediately have a healing Spirit Master treat him. This kid will be my inheritor from now on, and no one is allowed to lay a hand on him!"
Then the Sea God told Poseidon about the conditions Wang Yi had proposed and then released his control. Poseidon quickly stepped forward, hugged Wang Yi into her arms, and then flew towards Sea God Mountain.
Xiao Bai originally seemed unconvinced and wanted to fight Wang Yi again, but when she heard it was Sea God Granddaddy, she immediately cowered and could only hold it in, helpless.
"Why would Sea God Granddaddy choose this bastard kid to be his inheritor?" Finally, Xiao Bai pouted, sulking, and then transformed into a shark and returned to the sea.
