Chapter 3372: Sea Dragon Douluo
Meanwhile, Gui Mei seemed to sense something, his expression suddenly became serious...
He turned to Xu Sheng beside him and warned, "Xu Sheng, two extremely powerful presences are approaching, one of them is the Grand Elder of Sea God's Island, and the other one is still unknown!"
"But their strength is probably above mine!"
To feel such pressure from them, their strength must be at least level 96, or even level 97!
Xu Sheng was not surprised, "Hmm, I've sensed it too, but since it's the Grand Elder leading the way, there shouldn't be any problem!"
They had rested here yesterday, and hadn't been subjected to surveillance or attack...
This meant that what Poseissi said was sincere!
Gui Mei gritted his teeth, "Then you stay here; I don't want to meet those people and will leave first!"
If the other party was the Sea Dragon Douluo, one of the Seven Sacred Pillars, the situation could become troublesome!
That man is someone even Your Holiness the Pope finds difficult to deal with, and his hatred for Martial Soul Hall is sky-high!
Even the members of Martial Soul Hall who were lucky enough to escape from Sea God's Island reported so!
However, Xu Sheng gently said, "It's too late now, Elder Gui. If you leave now, it will be seen as disrespect towards the Grand Elder. Better hold back!"
These words undoubtedly dispelled Gui Mei's thought of leaving from its roots...
He coughed behind his hand, "That's true... To not anger the Grand Elder, I'll just bear with it."
Seemingly a bit sheepish, he deliberately added, "Of course, what I'm most concerned about is the possibility of you getting into trouble!"
Xu Sheng followed his words, "Then thank you, Elder Gui, for taking the risk to stay here with me!"
Upon hearing this, Gui Mei felt inexplicably elated, "That's my duty, after all, I promised Your Holiness to protect you!"
But soon, he became serious again...
Vaguely visible, Sea Dragon Douluo appeared before them, led by Poseissi...
Poseissi spoke first, "Sea Dragon, this is Xu Sheng, and this one is responsible for his protection!"
Sea Dragon Douluo, upon hearing this, also directed his gaze towards Xu Sheng...
Observing the somewhat exaggerated height difference between them, he became somewhat silent...
This Xu Sheng, could he be too young, probably not even ten years old?
Could such a person rise to fame in the arena? He found it hard to believe!
"Xu Sheng, this is Sea Dragon Douluo, one of the Seven Sacred Pillars. I specially brought him to see you, considering you are going to participate in the Sea God's Nine Quests," said Poseissi.
Xu Sheng also observed Sea Dragon Douluo, then proactively said, "I didn't expect to meet the renowned Sea Dragon Douluo. My apologies for any disrespect!"
Sea Dragon Douluo raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, "Oh? You've heard of me?"
Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "Your title is second only to the Grand Elder on Sea God's Island, naturally I've heard of it!"
"But I never expected to have the honor of meeting you today!"
These words made Sea Dragon Douluo take note of the uniqueness of the person before him...
This kid, there's something off about him; the way he talks is like an old slick, as if he's conversing with an adult!"
It seems he does have some skills.
Thinking this, he composedly said, "There's no need for such formalities. Since you are someone the Grand Elder is interested in, you are a guest of Sea God's Island!"
"Moreover, I have indeed been hearing your name at various arenas lately, never expecting you to be even younger than I imagined."
"But this also proves just how outstanding your talent is!"
He had just tried to probe the other with his spiritual power in secret but was blocked by an even stronger spiritual power...
It didn't seem to be the work of the Titled Douluo by his side; just this alone was worth pondering...
Xu Sheng humbly replied, "Sea Dragon Douluo flatters me, such fame is nothing compared to being one of the Seven Sacred Pillars like yourself."
Gui Mei was dumbfounded, "Are these two people... mutually praising each other in business?"
However, as long as it didn't involve himself, it was best to remain silent!
Poseissi sighed softly upon seeing this…
"Xu Sheng, Sea Dragon, let's not engage in such polite talk!"
This Xu Sheng was not only adept at handling situations smoothly but extremely composed in anything he encountered…
It seemed he truly came from the future!
As for why his body shrank to such an extent, it was indeed hard to understand!
Once he made that statement, the two immediately stopped the irrelevant conversation…
Poseissi then continued, "Xu Sheng, apart from me, he is the most outstanding in the Sea God's Nine Quests, if you have any questions while participating in the Sea God's Nine Quests, feel free to ask him!"
Xu Sheng bowed immediately, "Many thanks, Grand Elder!"
"Sea Dragon, you too, you should inform Xu Sheng about everything related to the trials of the Sea God without holding anything back," Poseissi said.
The Sea Dragon Douluo stated immediately, "Yes, Grand Elder, I will follow your instructions!"
Though he was somewhat reluctant to reveal details about the Trial of the Sea God, he had no choice but to comply with the Grand Elder's command!
Poseissi's gaze then turned to Gui Mei, and after a moment of thought, he inquired, "As for you, do you wish to participate in the trial of the Sea God? If you manage to pass, it will undoubtedly advance your cultivation level!"
After reaching the rank of Titled Douluo, even a slight improvement would require a lengthy time!
Therefore, the trial of the Sea God seemed like a good option for him!
Gui Mei's face turned pale, but he still put on a brave smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grand Elder, but with my mediocre talent, I'd rather not participate!"
To participate in the trial of the Sea God?
Don't be foolish!
He had heard that failing the trials meant certain death!
He certainly didn't want to gamble his life on it!
Poseissi narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure you won't participate?"
Gui Mei broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, involuntarily casting a glance at Xu Sheng…
Yet Xu Sheng seemed as if he hadn't seen it, busying himself with chatting to the Sea Dragon Douluo…
Seeing this, Gui Mei clenched his fists, "Since Grand Elder..."
At this point, he had no choice but to agree, albeit reluctantly!
However, the Grand Elder interrupted him before he could finish speaking, "Enough, everyone has their own destiny, if you don't wish to participate in the trial of the Sea God, so be it. After all, if luck isn't on one's side, even a Titled Douluo could fall!"
"I can understand that," he added.
Gui Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you can understand, Grand Elder!"
That was terrifying, he just thought if he didn't participate, force might be used!
Against an Ultimate Douluo with such deep roots, he wouldn't stand a chance at all, not even a choice in how to die!
Having settled all that, Poseissi also lost interest, "Alright, Sea Dragon, you stay here and talk with Xu Sheng, I'll take my leave now!"
"Grand Elder, take care!"
