Chapter 172 Shrek Academy Suffers a Crushing Defeat!
Tang San shuddered: "Great-grandfather?!"
"That's right!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded firmly: "With this connection, you might be able to gain the High Priest's protection when you go to Seagod Island."
"It's not too late to scheme for other things after you've improved your strength."
"Going to the City of Slaughter now is suicide. Going to Seagod Island will not only improve your strength but also give you the chance to meet the High Priest."
"You should also know that because of the Heavenly Dao's reward, she has now become a god, just like Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall, both are first-level gods!"
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and others beside him also persuaded him.
A moment later.
Tang San glanced at the alluring Asura Demon Sword on the sky and finally clenched his fist unwillingly.
"Okay."
"Teacher, I'll listen to you."
"Let's go to Seagod Island!"
Although giving up the Asura Godhood pained him, he trusted his teacher's judgment.
Not long after.
As the sky portal opened, countless streams of light streaked across the sky, converging towards the vast sea.
Poseidon Island, this mysterious island isolated overseas for millennia, instantly became bustling with activity.
However, with so many people came chaos!
The arriving Soul Masters were a mixed bag, ranging from polite nobles to ruthless desperados.
"Damn it! What kind of ridiculous rules are these?"
A burly Soul Douluo, having just landed, kicked over a Sea Soul Master responsible for guiding them because he didn't want to wait in line.
"I'm a Soul Douluo! Nobody dares to stop me on the mainland, and you expect me to wait in line on this wretched island?"
"Call your guide out!"
Many surrounding Soul Masters joined in the commotion, and the scene briefly spiraled out of control.
However, in the next second...
Boom!
A vast, ocean-like divine power poured down from the summit of Poseidon Mountain without warning!
Without a word, without a warning.
*Poof!*
The arrogant Soul Douluo didn't even have time to scream before he exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
Along with the Soul Masters who had been jeering, they all knelt under this oppressive force, bleeding from their seven orifices, dying instantly!
"Seagod Island, the sacred land, those who make noise, die!"
Poseidon's cold, majestic voice echoed throughout the entire island.
Deathly silence.
All the visiting Soul Masters turned ashen-faced with fear, only then remembering that the master of Seagod Island was a genuine Level One God!
"Gulp..."
Everyone swallowed hard, no one daring to cause trouble again, obediently lining up like grandsons.
Under the deterrent effect of this iron-fisted method, order was quickly restored.
Subsequently, led by the seven guardians of the Sacred Pillars, these Soul Masters were distributed to the seven cities of Seagod Island.
Of course, Seagod Island wasn't doing charity.
Want food, clothing, and shelter?
No problem, just exchange them with gold Soul Coins!
In an instant, prices on Seagod Island skyrocketed. The Sea Soul Masters, who had previously lived a self-sufficient life, were all smiles as they looked at the handfuls of gold soul coins in their hands.
Before the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
A long queue had already formed, and the most important part—the Sacred Pillar Trial—was underway!
Countless Soul Masters stepped forward with high expectations, only to descend dejectedly.
"White-level first test... trash."
"Yellow-level first test... still trash."
"Purple-level first test? This brother is not bad!"
Most Soul Masters only received White-level and Yellow-level tests; the appearance of a Purple-level one caused a stir. Just then, the crowd suddenly parted to make way.
A group of people with outstanding bearing slowly approached.
The man at the head was dressed in snow-white robes, handsome and dashing—it was Lin Yuan!
The women following behind him were all stunningly beautiful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"They're from Canglan Academy!"
"Look! That's Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo!"
The Seahorse Douluo in charge of the tests narrowed his eyes upon seeing Lin Yuan, his attitude instantly becoming respectful.
"Dean Lin, please."
Although he had never seen Lin Yuan before, the divine aura emanating from him, coupled with the beautiful women behind him and the reminders from the surrounding continental soul masters, immediately convinced him that this was Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, gesturing to his disciples.
"Go, let the world see your talent."
Dugu Yan stepped forward first, smiling confidently, her palm resting on the sacred pillar.
A beam of light shot into the sky!
White, yellow, purple… the light vanished in an instant, freezing directly in deep black!
"Black-level Sixth Trial!"
The Seahorse Douluo gasped, and a commotion erupted around him.
Immediately afterward, Ye Lingling, Xue Wu, and others stepped forward in turn.
"Black-level Sixth Trial!"
"Black-level Fifth Trial!"
All Black-level tests!
However, the real shock was yet to come.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong walked forward hand in hand.
The moment their palms touched the sacred pillar…
Boom!!!
The once calm sea instantly boiled!
A blinding crimson light, like a pillar supporting the sky, pierced through the heavens, dyeing the entire sea crimson!
"Red...Red-level?!"
Seahorse Douluo was so frightened he almost knelt on the ground, his eyes bulging out of their sockets.
"Top-tier Seven Trials?!"
"This...this is the aptitude of a Grand Elder's successor!"
The entire place fell silent.
Everyone looked at the two girls as if they were monsters.
Lin Yuan stood aside, smiling calmly, as if all of this was expected.
After all, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's martial souls were both of super quality; it would be a miracle if they didn't get a red-level.
Just as everyone was still reeling from the shock brought by Canglan Academy, another team finally arrived.
"Little Three, look! It's a red-level light!"
Oscar pointed to the still-burning red light in the sky, his face full of excitement:
"It seems that Seagod Island is indeed full of opportunities!"
The Shrek team members were travel-worn, but their eyes shone with confidence.
Yu Xiaogang, hands behind his back, looked at the red light and nodded slightly, commenting, "Not bad, it seems the Sacred Pillar Trial is quite fair."
"With your talents, especially Tang San's twin martial souls, getting a red-level trial, or even the legendary top-tier eighth trial, should be a piece of cake."
Tang San also puffed out his chest slightly, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
He possessed twin martial souls, innate full soul power, and the Tang Sect's unique skills.
There was no reason for him to be inferior to others!
They didn't try to curry favor with Poseidon like in the original story; they decided to let their talent speak for itself first.
"Let's go! Get in line!" Dai Mubai took the lead. "I'll go first!"
Dai Mubai strode to the Sacred Pillar, his evil eyes flashing, and slammed down with his palm.
The light shone.
White, yellow…
Just when everyone thought the purple light would turn black, the light struggled on the purple surface for a long time, and finally… stopped.
"Purple-level third trial."
Seahorse Douluo announced the result expressionlessly.
Having experienced a large number of Black and Red-level monsters before, they were now numb to the appearance of Purple-level monsters, even finding them nothing special.
"What?!"
Dai Mubai's confident expression instantly froze, as if struck by lightning.
"Impossible! Only Purple-level?!"
