Chapter 169 What, You're Telling Me He's Going to Inherit Godhood?_2

The inheritor of the Sea God, the future Sea God, isn't he their new master? Offending him would be a grave mistake.

Bossi was silent for a moment before answering, "You don't need to do anything right now, just watch and wait."

In fact, Bossi was also feeling doubtful in her heart.

Though it was true that Qin Xiao was undergoing the Sea God's trials and was very likely to become the new Sea God, could it be that the divine power in his body was a bit too abundant?

You see, the golden light was different from the previously seen yellow, purple, black, and red lights. Those lights only contained a part of the Sea God's power. But the golden radiance was the pure essence of the Sea God's power.

Not to mention anything else, even a Titled Douluo would be burst by absorbing so much power, right?

No.

Not just one, even three, five, seven, or eight Titled Douluos would be exploded by the divine power, wouldn't they?

Unfortunately, what Bossi didn't know was that Qin Xiao still felt unsatisfied...

...

" Ten times the Sea God's power, let's see what the effect will be?"

Qin Xiao also noticed the anomaly outside and quickly introspected.

It must be said, the progress was tremendous.

In just a moment, the golden particle the size of a grain of rice in front of the mysterious human-shaped Martial Spirit had grown to the size of a longan.

Undoubtedly, this was the essence of a massive compression of Sea God's power, containing strength that even Qin Xiao himself found terrifying.

However, instead of being alarmed, Qin Xiao was delighted, "Not bad, very good. The only question is how much Sea God's power I need to gather to satisfy this fellow's hunger."

But, he got no answer.

Time ticked away second by second.

Bossi, who was closely watching Qin Xiao, changed her expression.

"Great Priest, what's wrong?"

Sea Horse Douluo noticed the anomaly and quickly asked.

"It's nothing."

Bossi shook her head slightly, and her expression quickly returned to normal.

In reality, her heart was not at all calm.

Because, in her consciousness, she had received a somewhat annoyed voice from the Sea God.

"Mader. What kind of freak is this kid? I'm almost drained of my divine power…"

"Is it so hard to issue him a few tasks?"

Bossi was shocked. Was this really the voice of the Sea God?

Soon, her eyes showed confusion. What did it mean that the divine power was being drained…?

Meanwhile.

Within Qin Xiao's Dantian Qihai, the light orb in front of the mysterious human-shaped Martial Spirit had grown to the size of a walnut. The mysterious human-shaped Martial Spirit stopped collecting Sea God's power, opened its mouth wide, and in one gulp, swallowed the walnut-sized condensed Sea God's power.

"It should start to recover now."

Qin Xiao was excited.

But, the next moment, he had some epiphanies and entered a strange state.

Outside, an anomaly occurred as well.

Everyone saw the golden pillar of light disappear.

Then, it turned into nine light screens that fell in front of Qin Xiao and quickly entered his forehead at a rapid speed.

The blue trident mark on Qin Xiao's forehead slowly turned gold.

"What does this situation mean now?"

"Don't be nervous, it's a good thing."

In the face of anxious people, Bossi explained calmly, "He should be digesting the benefits brought by the Sea God's Light now."

"How long will it take?"

"Not very long, at most a day or two…" Bossi answered almost without hesitation.

However.

Two days later.

"Great Priest, I remember you said that Qin Xiao would awaken in just two days?"

Ning Rongrong looked up, asking Bossi.

But Bossi's face showed little change, her eyes, however, had become somewhat unnatural, "I underestimated the extent of the Sea God's trials for him..."

"So, can Qin Xiao recover?" Ning Rongrong clutched her skirt, asking with hope.

After thinking for a while, Bossi remained silent.

Because she couldn't be certain when Qin Xiao would recover.

"I suggest you temporarily stop staying by his side. After all, the Sea God's assessment is exceptionally rigorous for Soul Masters from the land. Once the assessment task begins, it must be completed within a year. Otherwise, you will face extremely cruel punishment."

"Rather than worrying about Qin Xiao, I think you should be more concerned about yourselves."

Her gaze swept over everyone, and after leaving these words, she left.

"Indeed..."

After listening to Bossi's words, Zhu Zhuqing and the others fell into silence.

Five days later, Dugu Yan was the first to leave, saying, "My cultivation level is not as good as yours; the difficulty of the assessment might be higher. I should practice first. I don't want there to be no place for me by Your Highness's side in the future."

Seven days later, Ning Rongrong also chose to leave Qin Xiao's side, "I think Dugu Yan is right..."

Half a month later.

Meng Yiran said, "Zhu Qing, how about we each guard His Highness for a while separately? I don't want us to die during the assessment when His Highness successfully completes it."

Her voice was complex, and when her eyes looked at Qin Xiao, they were filled with reluctance.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, answering simply with one word, "Okay."

Meng Yiran left.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was somewhat complex.

Everyone's worries were the same; no one knew when Qin Xiao would wake up.

They were also worried that when Qin Xiao did wake up, it would be time to say farewell.

...

Time flies.

Three months later.

In the Imperial Palace Hall of the Tiandou Empire.

Qian Renxue sat on the throne and asked in a deep voice, "Has anyone found any news of Qin Xiao?"

Aside from her, the hall was empty.

Yet a faint, ethereal voice replied:

"Young Master, there is still no news of Qin Xiao. The last clue broke off in Hanhai City. There has been no message of Qin Xiao's return to this day."

Hanhai City...

Qian Renxue's expression became complicated upon hearing this. Could this guy have rejected her invitation, rejected the invitation of the Martial Soul Hall, and possibly decided to join the Sea God's Island?

What for?

"Young Master..."

Suddenly, a deep voice came from outside the hall.

Qian Renxue straightened up and said, "Come in."

The closed doors of the hall were pushed open, and the solemn Snakelance Douluo walked in.

"Young Master, I have received several pieces of the latest news, some good, some bad. Which would you like to hear first?"

"Oh?" Qian Renxue's expression shifted, "Start with the bad news."

"Young Master, Avalanche has escaped from the remote mines..."

"Escaped?" Qian Renxue furrowed her brow.

Snakelance Douluo spoke bitterly, "It must have been Avalanche conspiring with the remnants of Xue Xing's forces, planning for a long time. If only we had killed that useless Xue Xing sooner."

"Although Avalanche is useless, I can't kill her just yet; after all, keeping Avalanche alive was Emperor Xue Ye's dying wish..."

Qian Renxue's expression grew cold, "But now that she has defected, she's looking for her own death."

"Don't worry, Young Master, I've already dispatched people to hunt her down," Snakelance Douluo nodded firmly.

"What's the good news?" Qian Renxue asked again.

Snakelance Douluo grinned, "For some reason, a mysterious force has appeared in the Xingluo Empire, targeting the strong members of the Star Luo Royal Family or those close to them. The number of potent forces in the Xingluo Empire has sharply decreased.

Even the Star Luo Emperor has been the victim of an assassination attempt. If not for the Hell White Tiger and the Star Crown Xu family, I'm afraid the Xingluo Empire might have a new ruler. But even though they weren't successful, the Star Luo Royal Family has been put on notice. I've heard that now in the Star Luo Imperial City, over a hundred thousand troops stand guard, fearing an assassin's strike. Hahaha."

After speaking, Snakelance Douluo laughed unabashedly.

It should be noted that both the Tiandou and Xingluo, have traditionally been significant thorns in the side of the Martial Soul Hall.

Now that the Tiandou Empire had already been subdued, the next target naturally lay with the Xingluo Empire.

Yet before they could take action, such a huge upheaval occurred in the Xingluo Empire—wasn't it like someone sending a pillow when one wants to sleep?

"In that case, it indeed seems like good news."

Qian Renxue nodded seriously, "The enemy of our enemy is our friend. Let's find out who this force is; perhaps we can cooperate to mutual benefit."
