Chapter 197: I Think Tang Hao is Worthy of Being a Great Priest_2

```

"So you're thinking of using him to check Tang Chen?"

"Of course not. Besides, Tang Chen isn't an easy mark, can a good-for-nothing grandson really influence his thoughts?"

"Hmm?"

Having heard Qin Xiao's words, Poseissi slightly furrowed her eyebrows.

It had to be said, she didn't understand what Qin Xiao meant at all.

"If he's such a worthless person, why not just kill him and be done with it?"

Her voice turned cold.

Clearly, she was ready to make her move.

"Haha, he can't die yet, or wouldn't that waste all my efforts?"

"Besides, if he's to be killed, it should be after he realizes his value."

Qin Xiao stopped Poseissi's gesture.

"Then what do you want to do?" Poseissi was even more puzzled.

Qin Xiao didn't keep her in suspense any longer, "I want him to undergo the Sea God's test and assessment."

"What!"

"I must have heard wrong!"

Surprise filled Poseissi's face.

It wasn't just her.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the others were also confused.

They certainly didn't expect Qin Xiao to say something like that.

Wasn't he supposed to be the enemy?

Why then would he need to undergo the Sea God's assessment?

Beyond that.

Tang Hao himself was also utterly bewildered.

"What's happening?"

"Is Qin Xiao doing this for my sake?"

He was disheveled in the wind.

The sudden act of kindness nearly threw his back out.

The reactions of the others were also unexpected for Qin Xiao.

He could only smile helplessly and gaze at Poseissi, "Don't misunderstand, what I'm doing has nothing to do with Tang Hao, it's for you."

"For me?"

Poseissi was even more bewildered.

How could this matter be related to her?

"You all go down first."

Qin Xiao signaled Ning Rongrong and the others to leave first.

Seeing this, Sea Horse Douluo also tactfully moved away.

In the blink of an eye, only Qin Xiao, Poseissi, and Tang Hao were left in front of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.

Without asking further, Poseissi just quietly watched Qin Xiao, waiting for an answer.

After organizing his thoughts, Qin Xiao slowly said, "The godhood assessment progresses to the last step, the ninth test, which requires your sacrifice, right?"

"You, how do you know about this?" Poseissi's face revealed an unnatural expression.

Suddenly, Tang Hao's eyes widened.

Poseissi was someone he had heard about from Tang Chen.

A Level 99 Peerless Powerhouse who also possessed Divine Power; frankly speaking, it wouldn't be an overstatement to call such a person a demigod.

He never imagined that for a person to become a god, it would even require such a tremendous sacrifice from Poseissi.

"How I know is not your concern. Even if you don't want to answer the question, from your expression, I already know it's true."

"The reason I've spared Tang Hao's life and brought him here is to have him undergo the Sea God's assessment. If possible, I want him to inherit your position as the Great Priest."

Qin Xiao laid out his plan directly.

"What?" Poseissi was shocked once again.

No matter what, she didn't expect Qin Xiao to have such an arrangement.

Now she also understood why Qin Xiao said bringing Tang Hao was for her!

Wasn't the goal to preserve her own life and have Tang Hao become the Great Priest to sacrifice for Qin Xiao?

"What the hell?"

Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Tang Hao was equally shocked.

No.

To be precise, he felt like he was struck by thunder.

He was completely flabbergasted.

"Qin Xiao really doesn't act human! He dragged me here, just to help Poseissi.

Damn, he planned all this from Soul Land to Sea God's Island. And I was just getting moved..."

"So goddamn unnecessary..."

"I knew it, how could this kid ever be so kind-hearted!"

"Qin Xiao, with his bushy brows and big eyes, turns out to be full of dirty tricks."

When he came to his senses, Tang Hao inwardly ranted like crazy.

If resentful thoughts could kill, Qin Xiao would have died at least 100 times over.

Tang Hao nearly crushed his back molars in frustration.

```

"How about it? What do you think of my plan?"

At this time, Qin Xiao asked again.

Not so good. Have you considered my feelings in doing so? As the person involved, Tang Hao felt he had the right to speak for himself.

Unfortunately.

Beyond a woeful whine, he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Why would you want to help me like this?" Poseissi asked, a question that didn't match the answer.

Qin Xiao replied almost without thinking, "It's because when Tang Chen made a move against me, you firmly stood by my side."

So that was the incident... Poseissi's gaze became distant for a moment, "You really don't need to be too touched; it was just part of my duty."

But Qin Xiao shook his head, "I don't care whether it's a duty or not. I only care about who has helped me."

"I don't have many strengths, but I do have my principles. One is to repay kindness. Two is to repay enmity."

"No matter the reason you helped me, I naturally have to repay you, or else I won't feel at peace."

Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Poseissi fell silent.

Unconsciously, Qin Xiao's figure became particularly clear in her heart.

Of course, the emotions between the two couldn't yet be called romantic love.

"But what if Tang Hao is not eligible for the position of Great Priest?"

Qin Xiao pondered seriously before answering, "I think it's very unlikely. You might not be aware, but this old guy Tang Hao's talent is still quite good.

He was once known as the youngest Titled Douluo on the Soul Land, considered a rare old genius. His talent should be enough to inherit your position."

God damn old genius... Tang Hao realized that this kid Qin Xiao was really too infuriating.

He made even someone not good with words constantly find reasons to complain.

"But what if... I said what if?" Poseissi persisted.

Qin Xiao answered decisively, "If this old guy Tang Hao really disappoints and fails to pass the Great Priest's trial, then no matter what, I will not let you be sacrificed.

A godhood earned with your life is something I won't desire, and having it would burden my conscience."

Ah, this...

Suffice to say, Qin Xiao's response went beyond Poseissi's expectations again.

She had thought that Qin Xiao would find a diplomatic way to tell her that since Tang Hao had failed, they would have to follow the rules.

Regarding this.

Poseissi could understand.

After all, in the face of godhood, who isn't tempted? The fact that Qin Xiao was willing to seek out Tang Hao was already the epitome of benevolence and righteousness.

But what was this guy saying?

He would rather not have the godhood than see her sacrificed?

More importantly, Qin Xiao's eyes, bright and clear. She saw not a trace of faltering or hesitation in Qin Xiao's gaze.

"Sigh..."

She let out a long breath, calming her complex mind, and didn't dwell on the previous question.

"Then let's begin."

"Okay."

Qin Xiao agreed, then kicked Tang Hao towards the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.

"You better not disappoint me."

"Otherwise, you'll die very soon, and it'll be a miserable death."

Upon hearing these words, Tang Hao inwardly cursed at the misfortune.

He regretted provoking Qin Xiao, a calamitous figure, in the first place.

Or perhaps, if he had stepped back and not been so harsh before, would the situation now be different?

Regrettably, there's no medicine for regret in this world.

At this moment, Poseissi's body was flickering with a blue glow.

The Sea Horse Sacred Pillar reacted immediately.

A beam of light soared into the sky and then fell directly onto Tang Hao.

Is this the trial of the Sea God?

Caught within it, Tang Hao was stunned.

Yellow, purple, black...

In the blink of an eye, numerous lights flashed alternately on him.

In Poseissi's eyes, a sharp light kept flashing, and mixed within it was a hint of pleasant surprise.

She had a hunch that Tang Hao just might succeed.

At the same time, Qin Xiao was staring at Tang Hao without blinking.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

He kept muttering in his heart, make it happen!

Suddenly.

At the next moment, Qin Xiao's eyes reddened.

But it wasn't because he was moved to tears.

It was because the light bursting from Tang Hao had turned red.

The beam on Tang Hao had become red!

The corners of Qin Xiao's mouth uncontrollably lifted into a smirk.

He laughed to himself, "Hahaha, just as I thought, this old guy Tang Hao has the makings of a Great Priest!"
