Chapter 539: Breezing Through, Shocking Everyone! The Third Assessment_1

Poseissi glided through the sky, leading the Seven Pillar Guardians and Luo Yu's trio to the edge of the Circular Sea.

The golden, sacred Island within an Island was surrounded by the Circular Sea.

At the pinnacle of the island stood the temple venerating the Sea God, revealing its majestic grandeur.

Everyone's gaze turned toward the Circular Sea, where large shadows streaked across the seabed, seemingly concealing countless sea soul beasts with profound cultivation levels.

Poseissi frowned.

"To be honest, the trial you're facing is a bit too difficult," he said.

"You can't fly, you can't use soul skills, and you can't harm the soul beasts that block your path."

Sea Horse Douluo stepped forward, appearing to have a close relationship with Luo Yu, and feigned outrage, "This trial isn't meant for humans. The soul beasts in that sea, each one stronger than the last, especially the clan leader of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks, whose cultivation level is no weaker than mine. With so many restrictions in place, how is it even possible to pass?"

In contrast to everyone's sense of insecurity, Luo Yu shook his head and smiled, "There's no need for everyone to worry, for me, getting through this blockage in the Circular Sea seems even simpler than the previous challenges."

"This..."

Sea Horse Douluo stood dumbfounded.

He couldn't understand how Luo Yu could say such a thing with such confidence; he felt an urge to ask, "Bro, are you really not scared at all?"

Poseissi hesitated, "Luo Yu..."

"Hmm?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.

Poseissi's face reddened slightly, "Hubby, maybe you shouldn't rush into the second trial just yet, it's too difficult, really too difficult."

"Not being able to fly is one thing, but how are you supposed to manage if you can't use soul skills?"

At that moment, she began to doubt the purpose behind the Sea God's setting of this trial; could it be that he never actually intended for Luo Yu to pass?

The guardian soul beast, the Devil Soul Great White Shark, was not a vegetarian; its combat strength would double in the water.

Sea Dragon Douluo shook his head with a sigh.

"It's hopeless, this second trial is practically at a hellish difficulty."

"I'd call anyone who passes it 'grandpa' with respect."

Luo Yu walked over, casually patting his shoulder.

"Don't make careless oaths; you never know when they might come true," he said.

"At your age, how bad would it be to end up someone's grandchild?"

Sea Dragon Douluo huffed, "I believe in your talent and abilities, but this trial is essentially impossible for you. If you can actually pass it smoothly, what harm would there be in calling you 'grandpa'?"

"Forget it,"

Luo Yu dismissed with a wave of his hand, "I don't have such a lowbrow sense of humor to make such bets with others."

"You..." Sea Dragon sputtered, immediately getting furious.

"Hmm?" Poseissi's silver, Beautiful Eyes swept over, and Sea Dragon Douluo immediately silenced himself, daring not to say another word.

"Xiu Xiu, let's go, follow me down," said Luo Yu.

He leapt high into the air, plunging straight into the Circular Sea.

Bai Xiuxiu quickly followed suit.

Sea Horse Douluo was somewhat incredulous.

"He just dived in so decisively? With such a challenging task ahead, are you sure you don't want to plan this through?"

Sea Dragon Douluo shook his head.

"As carefree as this kid was jumping in, he might come out just as bedraggled," he said.

"Is the White Shark Clan Leader someone easy to talk to?"

"He's going to suffer, it's about time this young man got taken down a notch," Sea Illusion Douluo added leisurely, in the tone of someone who had been there.

Poseissi's brows knit together in thought.

For some reason, she felt a familiar aura emanating from the girl beside Luo Yu, yet she couldn't quite place it.

By the time Luo Yu had entered the water, it was already too late for her to stop him.

She could only continue to watch the temporarily calm surface of the Circular Sea, waiting for the outcome of Luo Yu's battle.

...

Deep within the Circular Sea, a scene of deep blue unfolded.

Countless colossal sea soul beasts swam along the ocean floor, while colorful corals were visible everywhere, and slender green seaweeds floated along with the currents.

Among the underwater scenery, nearly a hundred Devil Soul Great White Sharks patrolled the area.

Luo Yu was within the Boundless Universe Shield, completely isolated from the seawater.

Beside him, Bai Xiuxiu was filled with curiosity, pointing a finger at the shield wall, "Brother Yu, what treasure is this? I found it so magical the first time I saw it."

Luo Yu explained with a smile.

"This is a treasure left by the Sea God, with warding off water being its simplest function."

"So amazing," Bai Xiuxiu looked at Luo Yu with admiration.

Luo Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xiuxiu's mature figure, as succulent as a peach, coupled with her childlike innocence, created a stark contrast for him.

"Brother Yu, mom is over there!" Bai Xiuxiu suddenly pointed in a direction.

"Let's go," Luo Yu didn't hesitate, taking Bai Xiuxiu to meet up, retracting the Boundless Universe Shield and revealing their position openly.

Onshore, Poseissi and the Seven Pillar Guardians were looking forward anxiously.

But after a long watch, not a sound came from within the Circular Sea.

It filled them with puzzlement.

Sea Horse Douluo wondered aloud, "What's going on? Even a stone thrown in would splash, but there's not a peep from Luo Yu going in."

"You're telling me, I'm also stumped, that's not right." Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes were full of confusion, "By all logic, this Circular Sea should be boiling over right about now."

"Shouldn't there be a chase happening right now? Why is it so calm?"

With her beautiful eyes, Poseissi speculated, "It must be some extraordinary hiding technique Luo Yu has, preventing the sharks from discovering him so far."

"Possible," Sea Horse Douluo said, "Given the confidence that guy had earlier, I suspect he really has some way to evade detection by the sharks."

"Done for, someone may really have to start calling him 'grandpa' soon."

Sea Dragon Douluo glared, "Are you delighting in others' misfortune?"

"Sneaking through the Circular Sea like a rat living in the shadows, what's the difference? Such methods seem to contradict the original intention of the test."

"Tsk, tsk," Sea Horse Douluo teased, "Seems like someone's already finding excuses for themselves, hahaha."

Sea Dragon Douluo retorted, "It's not about saving face, sneaking and stowing away just to get through, how is that different from cheating?"

Poseissi was about to speak.

Suddenly, the Circular Sea began to boil, with the screeching of sharks resonating through the entire Sea God's Island.

"Whoosh, whoosh!!"

The sea churned and surged, with gigantic Devil Soul Great White Sharks leaping out, clearing an area in the middle of the sea like the stars surrounding the moon.

"What...what's going on?" Sea Horse Douluo said in utter surprise.

With a look of delight on his face, Sea Dragon Douluo said, "What else could it be? The kid's been found, he's about to be besieged."

"He's not in a life-threatening situation, but he's definitely going to have a tough time, wasn't I right from the start!"

"Whoosh!"

In the space cleared by the White Shark group on the sea surface, an even larger Devil Soul Great White Shark suddenly burst forth, soaring into the air.

Carrying huge waves and countless sparkling droplets that were extremely beautiful under the sunlight.

When everyone saw the silhouette seated on the back of the White Shark clearly, they were all stunned.

"Is...is that Luo Yu???"

"How is he sitting on the back of the White Shark Clan Leader?"

"Holy shit, don't tell me he's subdued a hundred thousand year soul beast without using any soul skills in such a short time."

Sea Dragon Douluo had a look of utter disbelief.

Poseissi swallowed hard, finding it incredibly unbelievable, this was the island's protector beast, and it had submitted to an outsider?
