103: Arriving at Poseidon Island

As the solemn female voice slowly faded, the Sea Masters also welcomed the Shrek group towards the central area.

As the group arrived at Sea God City, they finally met the owner of that voice—the High Priestess of the Sea God, Poseidon, whose strength at sea was comparable to a demigod.

Dressed in luxurious robes, Poseidon ignored the others from Shrek and instead looked at Gu Yuena, speaking softly.

"Hello, may I have a look at the Sea God's token, the Endless Blue Sea Cover?"

Seeing this, Gu Yuena nodded slightly and handed the Endless Blue Sea Cover to Poseidon.

Holding the Endless Blue Sea Cover and confirming it was the token carrying the power of the Sea God, Poseidon bowed slightly, expressing her respect for the Sea God.

Then, Poseidon carefully held the Endless Blue Sea Cover in her hands, looking at the Shrek group with a gentle face.

"Thank you for traveling so far to deliver the Sea God's token. If you are willing, you may participate in the Sea God's trials. Even if you cannot pass, I represent Sea God Island in welcoming you."

Hearing this, the Shrek group also nodded slightly, all expressing their willingness to participate in the trials, as they had come precisely to benefit from the Sea God's generosity.

So, Poseidon nodded slightly and then led everyone to the Sea God Sacred Pillar.

Then, looking at the group, she softly explained the trial rules.

"Since you are respected guests of Sea God Island, you do not need to explain additional trials. You will stand on the Sea God Sacred Pillar and release your Martial Soul. Sea God Lord will set trials for each of you based on your talent. The levels are divided into five grades: white, yellow, purple, black, and red. The higher the difficulty, the better the trial rewards, but the difficulty is also self-evident. Trials above black level even carry the risk of death. You can also choose not to participate in the trials, but you will not be able to enter Sea God City in the future, although you can 遊around the periphery or wait for your friends."

Because the Shrek group had delivered the Sea God's token to Poseidon, her attitude was surprisingly good.

Compared to the treatment the Shrek group received in the original work, it was simply a world of difference.

Then, with everyone's encouragement, the first to step forward was Ye Lingling, whose Soul Power was at the lowest level.

After Ye Lingling stood on the Sea God Sacred Pillar, she directly summoned her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul and then released her Soul Power level.

Then, a blue beam of light shone on Ye Lingling for a moment, after which a voice slowly sounded.

"Ye Lingling, age eighteen, Martial Soul: Nine Heart Begonia, current Soul Power level forty-six Soul Grandmaster, granted black level five trials."

As the voice fell, Poseidon couldn't help but take another look at this Ye Lingling. At just eighteen, she was close to the Soul King realm, and she possessed the Nine Heart Begonia, a single-line inheritance among support-type Martial Souls.

She felt it was clear that none of the Shrek group were simple. Then, the second person to step forward was Yao Zi.

After Yao Zi confidently released her Martial Soul and Soul Power level, a voice sounded after a blue light.

"Yao Zi, age twenty, Martial Soul: Crimson Flame Thorn, current Soul Power level forty-seven Soul Grandmaster, granted black level three trials."

Seeing that her trial was lower than Ye Lingling's, Yao Zi was a bit dejected, which almost made Poseidon's mouth twitch.

Did you hear what I said earlier? Failing a black level trial can kill you! After that, Poseidon stopped paying attention to the Shrek group.

After all, good words are wasted on those determined to die. Then, the third person to step forward was Dugu Yan. After completing the procedure, the voice sounded again.

"Dugu Yan, age twenty-one, Martial Soul: Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, current Soul Power fifty-two Soul King, granted black level four trials."

When Dugu Yan heard that her trial was also one level lower than Ye Lingling's, she couldn't help but go down and rub Ye Lingling's little face. They only stopped fooling around when Poseidon coughed.

The third person to appear was Oscar. In this life, the trial he received was the top-tier seven trials he had dreamed of in his previous life.

Clearly, this shocked Poseidon, because Oscar, who was not yet eighteen years old, had already become a Soul King, and a food-type Soul King at that.

After Oscar conversed with Poseidon, he felt that her gaze towards him had softened.

Dai Mubai didn't feel the slightest bit strange about this, because the top-tier seven trials meant there was a chance to become the High Priestess.

Poseidon didn't know how many years she had waited, but she hadn't found anyone who had a chance to be her successor. It would be strange if her attitude wasn't good today when she met someone who did.

However, Poseidon was also very clear in her heart that the possibility of Oscar becoming the Sea God High Priestess was very small, but at least there was a glimmer of hope.

But then something that shocked Poseidon happened: Ma Hongjun stepped forward, receiving the top-tier seven trials without any surprise.

After all, the current Ma Hongjun, who was only fifteen and a half, was already a Soul King, and his Martial Soul was a legendary ultimate attribute.

However, Poseidon's attitude towards Ma Hongjun was not as enthusiastic as towards Oscar, for a simple reason.

The Sea God would never allow a Soul Master with the ultimate fire attribute to become the Sea God High Priestess. In terms of Martial Soul, Oscar had a greater chance of becoming the Sea God High Priestess than Ma Hongjun.

After getting a result he was satisfied with, Ma Hongjun also walked down proudly. The second to last person to step forward was Ning Rongrong.

Dai Mubai didn't even bother to guess the result. Ning Rongrong, with a support-type Martial Soul, could not become the Sea God's successor, even if she were currently a Title Douluo.

The Sea God wasn't blind; it was almost impossible for him to choose a support-type as the Sea God High Priestess, let alone anything else.

At this moment, Poseidon was completely numb. Six people from the Shrek group had stepped forward, three with black level trials and three with red level trials.

She looked at Gu Yuena, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing, who were the last ones, and couldn't help but wonder if these three leading figures would also get top-tier seven trials?

If so, it would be lively. Six top-tier seven trials, and Poseidon would be happy. Then she wouldn't have to worry about not finding a suitable successor for the Sea God High Priestess.

The result, however, clearly exceeded her expectations. When Gu Yuena finished displaying her cultivation.

After a blue light descended, a solemn voice resounded throughout Sea God Island.

"Gu Yuena, age seventeen, Martial Soul: Elementalist, current Soul Power level sixty-two Soul Emperor, now granted the Sea God's Nine Trials!"

As the voice fell, a golden trident pattern of the Sea God lit up on Gu Yuena's smooth forehead.

At this moment, Poseidon was completely petrified. She had been thinking about finding a successor for the Sea God High Priestess, and now this happened.

A Sea God successor had arrived directly, making it difficult for her to calm her emotions for a while. After a few breaths, Poseidon also accepted the reality before her.

Having adjusted, Poseidon looked at Gu Yuena and spoke solemnly.

"As expected of the person who personally delivered the Sea God's token. I didn't expect you to be the Sea God's successor I've been searching for for over a hundred years. Could you tell me where you are from?"

The moment Gu Yuena's purple eyes met Poseidon's, Poseidon felt that her inner thoughts were seen through by Gu Yuena.

Then Poseidon laughed at herself for being too naive. How could a mere Soul Emperor see through her inner thoughts?

"Junior Gu Yuena, I am from near Star Dou on the mainland, without parents."

Gu Yuena's clear and cold voice sounded. This kind of experience couldn't help but make Poseidon feel a bit of heartache for the Gu Yuena in front of her.

As for Gu Yuena's proud demeanor, Poseidon took it as Gu Yuena protecting herself.

Moreover, if she, Poseidon, dared to ask Gu Yuena to bow, the Sea God would directly strike her dead with a lightning bolt on the spot.

This would be equivalent to defying the heavens. After all, Gu Yuena was the person chosen by the Sea God, and Poseidon didn't have the guts to show off in front of her at all.

The only person who could do that was Qian Daoliu, who was both the Angel God's High Priest and Qian Renxue's Grandfather.

Poseidon turned her head and looked at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who were still watching the show with their arms crossed, unaffected, and confirmed.

"If you two do not participate in the Sea God's trials, you cannot stay here for long."
