Chapter 213: Deception (Please Subscribe)_1

Xu Sheng heard the mechanical voice and for a moment wanted to forget everything he had just said...

Both the Life God and the Destruction God must have planned this together, first giving him a little taste of victory to lure him into a trap, and then presenting such an impossibly difficult Divine Trial.

What kind of Divine Trial is this?

He had to defeat the God Seven Children without using Soul Power, all within three minutes—this was simply impossible!

Moreover, even if he possessed the Sea God's Trident, if he couldn't channel Soul Power into it to release its intrinsic skills, what difference would it make from scrap iron?

Besides, among them were Hyper Douluos of level 96 and level 97. Without using Soul Power, not to mention defeating them in three minutes, he probably wouldn't even be able to touch the hem of their clothes!

Seeing Xu Sheng with his head buried in thought, Poseissi's Beautiful Eyes sparkled with a tint of color as she spoke up, "Xu Sheng, since you don't want to accept the Sea God's inheritance, what do you plan to do?"

After hearing Poseissi's question, Xu Sheng lifted his gaze towards her and pondered, "Me? I plan to continue staying on Sea God's Island to consolidate my soul power rank."

Then, his tone changed abruptly, carrying a hint of pleading, "By the way, Grand Elder, may I request something from you?"

Given his very unfamiliar relationship with those God Seven Children, how could they possibly agree to a duel with him so easily?

So, only the Poseissi standing before him had the authority to command those seven!

Poseissi's clear pupils blinked, quite surprised as she asked, "Xu Sheng, what is it you want to say?"

Xu Sheng replied with a wry smile, "Grand Elder, to be honest, I am currently undergoing a Divine Trial, and the content of this trial is to defeat the God Seven Children within three minutes without using Soul Power, and I only have one chance."

This time he really couldn't think of a way to defeat the seven within three minutes without using Soul Power!

After listening, Poseissi's eyes glinted with wisdom, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly as she said, "Oh? Xu Sheng, so are you saying that the affection you expressed to me earlier was also because of the Divine Trial?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. A woman's intuition truly was terrifying; without revealing anything, she had almost hit the nail on the head!

He then earnestly said, "Although part of it was because of the Divine Trial, my admiration for you, Grand Elder, is absolutely genuine!"

Poseissi smiled faintly, pursing her lips. She had anticipated this, but she still felt some disappointment when Xu Sheng admitted it...

She spoke softly, "How do you want me to help you?"

Without haste, Xu Sheng uttered two words from his mouth, "Acting!"

The Divine Trial task given from the start was almost impossible to complete, but after careful observation, one could notice an obvious loophole in the wording!

Although he was told to defeat them without using Soul Power, it did not specify under which circumstances...

In such situations, one has to rely on the script to deceive!

Poseissi's pupils contracted, "Xu Sheng, you don't mean to say..."

This man actually planned to use acting to complete the Divine Trial; if the gods of the Upper Realm were to know this.

At best, the inheritance would be revoked; at worst, they could act to forcibly eradicate him!

Clearly, neither was a good outcome!

...

Still climbing the Soul Power Stages and panting heavily, Sea Horse Douluo seemed to sense something and stopped in his tracks...

He concentrated for a moment and thought, "Hmm? Sea Horse Sacred Pillar is experiencing several unfamiliar fluctuations. Is there a new Land Soul Master facing the Sea God's trial?"

The playful woman standing in front of Sea Horse Douluo said, "Sea Horse, you can't be struggling here, can you? We're only at the three hundredth level!"

Another youngster piped up, "Sea Horse, I remember you weren't this weak before, right? Back in the day, you climbed up to the four hundredth level."

A hint of apology flitted across Sea Horse Douluo's face, "Eh... I won't be joining you this time, I have to return to the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar for something."

Having said that, he immediately dashed downwards with haste...

...

The Purple-Garbed Soul Master led the seven Shrek members to a spot a few dozen meters away from the pool, then looked at Tang San and the others and said slowly, "You guys wait here. When a foreign presence approaches, Sea Horse Douluo will sense it!"

After finishing his words, the Purple-Garbed Soul Master didn't linger and hurriedly turned to leave.

Leaving behind the seven Shrek members standing where they were, to gaze at the pool and the Sea Horse stone pillar above. Ma Hongjun exclaimed in shock, "Sea Horse Douluo, could it be that the one assessing us later is a Titled Douluo?"

Tang San reminded, "It seems so, we must be cautious when facing a powerhouse of the Titled Douluo level!"

Oscar agreed, "Xiaosan is right, we definitely need to be careful. Those at the Titled Douluo level tend to have a short fuse."

The other Shrek members nodded in agreement, responding with a unified "Mm."

Tang San's pupils turned purple as he looked forward. The next moment, he spoke out loud, "He's coming!"

Internally he was solemnly musing, "We haven't even seen him, yet we can already feel his terrifying pressure. He must truly be a Titled Douluo."

Upon hearing Tang San's warning, the other Shrek members also focused their attention on the center of the pool...

All of a sudden, there appeared a man dressed in black in the center of the pool, his presence emanating a fearsome pressure that seemed to bring the surroundings to a standstill...

Dai Mubai was the first to say, "Let's go, we'll head over first!"

With that, he was the first to walk toward the pool, followed closely by the other Shrek members...

Sea Horse Douluo's gaze also fell on the seven approaching figures and in an instant, he assessed each person's soul power cultivation level!

As the Shrek members drew near, Sea Horse Douluo addressed them, "Land Soul Masters from outside Sea God's Island, if you wish to receive the Sea God's inheritance, you must first cross this Sea Within the Sea!"

No sooner had he spoken than he exploded with a pale blue light. Following that, the Sea Horse stone pillar behind him lit up, and a water screen ten meters high cascaded down from the top of the pillar endlessly...

Ma Hongjun spoke up, "I'll go first!"

His Martial Soul was the Evil Fire Phoenix, crossing this ten-meter water screen would be a breeze for him!

Tang San glanced at Ma Hongjun, "Fatty, don't rush. There's something strange about this water screen!"

He then turned his gaze to Dai Mubai, who understood immediately and nodded back to him...

The next moment soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet, and shortly after, Dai Mubai leaped high into the air. Mid-flight, his second yellow soul ring lit up...

In the following moment, an eye-dazzling wave of light burst forth, carrying immense impact...

And Dai Mubai, using the recoil of this force, cleared the ten-meter high water screen, landing steadily atop the Sea Horse stone pillar platform!

Tang San, who had been observing with the Purple Demon Eyes, slowly curled up the corners of his mouth...

He had completely seen through the water screen with his Purple Demon Eyes!
