Chapter 3236: Attracting Attention

Several days later, due to Xu Sheng's perfect performance in the arena, news about him had gradually become known to the residents of Sea God's Island!

At this moment, on the streets, quite a few people were discussing...

"Have you heard? An incredibly strong contestant recently appeared in the arena, repeatedly winning battles at the Soul King and Soul Emperor level!"

"That's right, I heard about it too, no matter what opponent they face, they basically win with absolute strength, terrifyingly powerful!"

"Eh, has the news really spread that far already? I thought only a few people knew about it!"

"Of course, according to the son of my brother's sister-in-law's aunt, this contestant seems to be less than ten years old, and is even only half our height!"

"Really? A child under ten can participate in the arena, I bet it's some old monster in disguise!"

"Not just that, it seems that all the strong contestants in that arena have been defeated by this person, and now they're inviting other strong Soul Masters from different arenas for a challenge, how arrogant!"

Just then, a group of men exuding powerful auras approached, each at least at the level of a Soul Emperor!

The man leading them spoke with an undeniable tone, "What were you just talking about?"

The crowd turned their gazes towards them, and upon recognizing them, everyone gasped in shock!

Then, with a trembling voice, they said, "You... you are..."

The former, however, frowned and coldly shouted, "Stop the nonsense! Answer my question!"

This terrifying oppressive force made them forcibly swallow back what they wanted to say, and then they told the whole story to the group!

After listening, the man licked his lips wickedly, "Interesting, in our absence, such a character appears. Killing him would surely be fun!"

He then said to his underlings behind him, "Come on, let's go take a look!!"

Having said that, he headed towards the arena ahead...

It was only after they left that the residents of Sea God's Island could breathe a sigh of relief...

"Those guys, they couldn't really be them, could they?"

"No mistake about it, I've seen those guys before. They specialize in seeking out strong fighters from different arenas, and almost everyone they target ends up dead in combat, the arena has no way to handle it!"

"Hiss, doesn't that mean, that child named Xu Sheng is in grave danger?"

"There's nothing we can do about it; it's his own fault for being too conspicuous recently, which easily attracts attention. What a pity!"

Clearly, in their eyes, Xu Sheng was almost as good as dead!!

...

Meanwhile, outside the palace!

The maid serving Poseissi looked emotionlessly at the woman in front of her and questioned, "How did it go with gathering information about Xu Sheng?"

The latter bit her lip in shame and said, "I failed. I was just starting to monitor him when I was discovered by the Titled Douluo accompanying him!"

The maid narrowed her eyes, "Being able to detect your presence instantly, it seems the rumors about being protected by a Titled Douluo are true!"

One should know that the former is a genuine Soul Sage!

But quickly, she realized something...

Her tone gradually turned colder, "Wait, if you were discovered by that Titled Douluo, why are you alive and unharmed?"

The woman tried to explain but found she couldn't speak, "I... I am!"

This reaction instantly made the maid realize that the woman had given away her own identity!

Immediately clenching her fist, she scolded, "Fool, if it weren't for Poseissi forbidding me from acting on my own, you would not be alive today!"

After a few seconds, she forcefully suppressed her anger, "Since that Titled Douluo let you return, he must have sent some message. Speak up!"

Well, since they've been discovered, let's see what their attitude is!

If it's possible to become an enemy of Sea God's Island, she would inform the Grand Elder and then dispatch a powerhouse to kill them!

The woman was almost in tears, "He... he just said he had no intention of making enemies with the powerhouses of Sea God's Island, and just... just let me go!"

Others may think her a mere maid, but she was well aware of the other party's true strength!

Even if she killed herself, she would not incur any punishment!

The maid's gaze became sharper, "Did you really say only these two sentences??"

The former hurriedly nodded in affirmation, "Yes, yes!"

Cupping her chin, the maid pondered, "It seems that they don't pose any threat to Sea God's Island for now!"

"Then send a few more people to keep watch!"

She wasn't worried about them taking action for doing so would be tantamount to making an enemy of Sea God's Island!!

Seeing this, the woman immediately pleaded, "Please give me another chance!"

However, the maid rejected her plea...

"You no longer qualify to serve as a Grand Elder's servant, get lost!"

Someone who would expose their identity just to save their own skin is not worthy of trust!

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out...

"What has happened?"

The newcomer was one of the Seven Sacred Pillars, Sea Spear Douluo!

Upon seeing him, the maid respectfully said, "Sea Spear Douluo!"

The woman also bowed her head, but she didn't interrupt...

Sea Spear Douluo nodded then turned to the maid again, "What happened just now? To make you so angry!"

He was also quite familiar with her, as she served the Grand Elder Poseissi.

The maid shook her head, "It's nothing major, no need for Sea Spear Douluo to worry about it!"

Sea Spear Douluo had a thoughtful expression but showed discretion by not pressing further!

Although he was one of the Seven Sacred Pillars, her status was not low either!

"Alright, if you're unwilling to talk about it, then I won't bother asking further!"

Only then did the maid continue, "Did Sea Spear Douluo come to see the Grand Elder?"

Sea Spear Douluo affirmed, "Mhm, is the Grand Elder inside?"

The maid answered truthfully, "The Grand Elder is resting. If Sea Spear Douluo has any business, it would be best to come back later"

After all, maintaining the Barrier around the whole Sea God's Island consumed a tremendous amount of Soul Power!

Sea Spear Douluo understood this very well, "I see, then I'll come again another day!"

It wasn't anything particularly important anyway, and if the Grand Elder was resting, he could always return another day!

Suddenly, Poseissi's voice resounded within both his and the maid's mind...

"Since you're here, come inside!"

Sea Spear Douluo was startled for a moment, gave a sign to the maid, and then directly entered the palace...

Although he didn't know why, receiving permission was naturally a good thing!

The maid glanced at the woman who was foolishly standing by and followed Sea Spear Douluo's steps, not forgetting to leave a word...

"Leave this place quickly, and do not disturb the Grand Elder!"
