Chapter 3371: Convocation

Sea Spear Douluo clenched his fist and muttered softly, "It's all over, all over. Could it be that the Grand Elder has discovered us slacking off?"

Next to him, Sea Illusion Douluo also bit her lip tightly, "Damn it, it really hit the mark. I've been neglecting the management of my jurisdiction lately due to training. Could there be many spies that have infiltrated?"

Sea Maiden Douluo pondered for a moment, "It... It shouldn't be that problem, right? We train to better protect Sea God's Island. How could the Grand Elder punish us for something like this? It's probably something else!"

Sea Horse Douluo glanced at them and reassured, "Don't worry, such a small matter won't concern the Grand Elder. It must be something more important!"

Sea Dragon Douluo, however, asked unflinchingly, "Grand Elder, you mentioned outsiders? Could it be that too many people have infiltrated Sea God's Island recently? If that's the case, we'll go clean them out right away!"

The reason why not all the spies on Sea God's Island were cleared out was, firstly, because it was too much trouble!

Secondly, once cleared out, new ones would soon infiltrate again!

Poseissi shook his head and explained, "Not so, it has nothing to do with those spies on Sea God's Island!!"

"What I want to say is about Xu Sheng, who has recently made quite a name for himself on Sea God's Island!"

Sea Dragon Douluo mused, "Xu Sheng? I have indeed heard many people mention him in the past few days. I didn't expect him to be an outsider!"

"Grand Elder, what do you need us to do? Should we capture him and bring him here?"

This Xu Sheng, being an outsider and yet so high-profile, surely he was being too disrespectful!

Poseissi denied again, "No, he arrived here yesterday. He should still be resting now!"

Sea Dragon Douluo was somewhat stunned, "Then Grand Elder, you're saying all this because..."

Poseissi stood up from the ice throne and said earnestly, "I'm telling you this because Xu Sheng might very well affect the future of Sea God's Island!"

Without revealing that Xu Sheng was from the future—whether they believed it or not, it would surely make them wary.

Everyone showed an unbelieving expression...

"No... no way. How could this outsider Xu Sheng affect our Sea God's Island?"

"Yeah, even if you say so, Grand Elder, I find it hard to believe too!"

"Wait a minute, if an outsider is going to affect our Sea God's Island, could it be that he will become an enemy in the future? If that's the case, it would be better to deal with him sooner rather than later!"

"Oh, don't be so agitated. If Xu Sheng were harmful to Sea God's Island, he would have been executed already, not talked about with us!"

"Makes sense. The influence of this Xu Sheng on our Sea God's Island must be positive!"

Seeing their doubts, Poseissi spoke again, "I know it's hard for you to believe, but I can assure you as a Grand Elder...!"

But before he could finish, Sea Dragon Douluo's pupils narrowed, interrupting, "Grand Elder, we naturally believe whatever you say unconditionally. There is no need to do so!"

Poseissi knew why he was interrupted and continued, "Tomorrow, I will let Xu Sheng try to pull out the Sea God's Trident and participate in the Sea God's Nine Quests!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, utterly perplexed...

Sea Dragon Douluo frowned and reminded, "Grand Elder, I heard that this Xu Sheng seems to be a child. Haven't you told him? Participating in the Sea God's Nine Quests could be life-threatening!"

Even though I don't know why he has made a big name for himself in the arena, his strength certainly can't be that strong!

Poseissi waved his hand dismissively, "No matter, with his abilities, taking on the Sea God's Nine Quests shouldn't pose a problem, and at the very least, he should be able to preserve his life!"

Sea Dragon Douluo seemed to understand something and thought to himself, "The Grand Elder actually trusts Xu Sheng so much. He must indeed be different, and could even be the Sea God's Successor!"

Upon seeing this, Sea Horse Douluo mustered his courage and interrupted, "Then Grand Elder, what do we need to do?"

Poseissi hesitated for a moment and then ordered, "Later, return to your respective places, handle your affairs quickly, and then rush back to prepare for Sea God's Nine Quests."

"Furthermore, I hope that everyone present here will attend tomorrow!!"

The Sea Maiden Douluo wore a look of astonishment and couldn't help but confirm again, "Eh? Attend Sea God's Nine Quests, us?"

Sea Illusion Douluo appeared somewhat speechless and chided, "Idiot, what the Grand Elder means is, he hopes that we will all come to watch Xu Sheng take the Sea God's Nine Quests tomorrow!"

Sea Maiden Douluo chuckled awkwardly, scratching her head, "Ah... I see, that makes sense. I was about to say, we've already undertaken Sea God's Nine Quests, so we shouldn't be eligible."

Of course, the bigger reason is that Sea God's Nine Quests are extremely dangerous!

Yuanen Yehui pursed her thin lips and spoke up, "Academy President Cai, I would like to visit the Inner Court first…"

Yue Zhengyu echoed, "I'll go with you!"

Although normally, outer courtyard students aren't allowed to enter the Inner Court, now, most of the inner court students have perished, and even the majority of guards responsible for monitoring the Inner Court have been removed!

Upon their arrival to the Inner Court, Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu swept their gazes over the surroundings, taking in every detail...

Yue Zhengyu couldn't help but remark, "So this is the Inner Court, huh? I didn't expect my first entrance to be in such a manner!"

He had initially thought that after the third year, he would showcase his talents and get specially admitted into the Inner Court, entering this place with full honors!

Yuanen Yehui also shook her head, "Such a vast Inner Court, yet not a single person in sight, it's rather ironic!"

From their entry, there hadn't been a hint of life…

If not for everything being untouched, one might even think that this place wasn't meant for the living!

Later, after traveling for several kilometers, only then did the two catch sight of a few dozen inner court students with somber faces standing silently...

Upon closer perception, a strange atmosphere pervaded the entire space...

One of the inner court students noticed Yue Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui, and expressed his surprise, "Junior brother, junior sister! How did you get into the Inner Court?"

According to the current time, all the outer courtyard students should still be on their way to completing the final exam!

Before Yuanen Yehui could speak, Yue Zhengyu stepped forward to explain, "We heard about what happened, so we came to take a look. Senior brother, are all the inner court students here?"

Mentioning this, the inner court student's face grew dimmer, briefly glancing at the others behind him, he sighed and said, "Yes, as you've said, these behind me are all the inner court students. Among them, some have even lost limbs while resisting the evil Soul Master's invasion!"

"From now on, the so-called Inner Court is considered to be no more!"

Yuanen Yehui disagreed, "That's not true, as long as the academy exists, students will continue to move from the Outer Court to the Inner Court! This place will regain its vitality!"

Hearing this, the inner court student paused, then, filled with hope, said, "Let's hope so!"
