Chapter 3390: Attracting Attention

In a flash, all those present turned their gaze in the direction of the forbidden land...

Indeed, they saw the black light constantly churning and trembling, and it was becoming even more profound. The aura it emitted was growing stronger by the second, intimidating to onlookers...

Sea Dragon Douluo frowned, "This guy... Even though he's reached Black Rank, is his breakthrough speed still so exaggerated? There's a good chance he could actually attain a level equal to that of the High Priest!"

This should have been a good thing for Sea God's Island, but the person in question was the Saint Heir of the Martial Soul Hall, which dampened the enthusiasm.

Even more so, it could become a direct factor in the destruction of Sea God's Island in the future!

For the sake of Sea God's Island, should I secretly eliminate him?

This thought inevitably surfaced in his mind...

But the next second, the words of the High Priest echoed in his mind...

"Sea Dragon, Xu Sheng might be the future of Sea God's Island!"

After much hesitation, Sea Dragon Douluo still shook his head, discarding the idea...

The High Priest was the strongest on Sea God's Island, with a perspective definitely beyond his own. Perhaps he had considered something that had not occurred to him; acting rashly could anger the High Priest!

Furthermore... This Xu Sheng always seemed a bit off, with a persistent sense that facing him, even he wouldn't be fully confident in achieving victory!

However, this scene was witnessed by some...

Curious, they asked quite directly...

"Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir, shouldn't you be happy about someone breaking through to Black Rank? Yet you seem very displeased!"

"Yeah, Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir, with one more Soul Master of Black Rank talent, our Sea God's Island is that much safer. Why do you look so troubled?"

"Hey, did everyone really notice? I thought I was the only one who found the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir's expression unusual!"

"Wait a minute... Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir, you couldn't be worried about your position as the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars, could you?"

"Nonsense, the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir has been dedicated to our Sea God's Island, having slain numerous powerful invaders time and again. How could he be so petty!"

"That's right, I think the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir is just worried about the newcomer. After all, the higher the level, the more difficult the tasks required. Who knows how many Soul Masters have fallen at this hurdle on our Sea God's Island!"

Upon hearing these words, Sea Dragon Douluo came to his senses and spoke to reassure them, "Gentlemen, don't overthink it. Naturally, I am genuinely pleased that Sea God's Island could have another Soul Master with Black Rank talent. But accordingly, the Black Rank assessment is extremely difficult, and the likelihood of falling is very high!"

"As for the position of the Seven Sacred Pillars, if he has the strength and can defeat me, then there's no harm in handing it over!"

He was serving as a Sacred Pillar to protect Sea God's Island, not to protect Sea God's Island so he could be a Sacred Pillar!!

With these words, the crowd immediately erupted in cheers...

"I knew it! Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir is not that kind of person. He was actually worried about the newcomer, truly benevolent and merciful!"

"What else? The Black Rank examination is exceedingly perilous, not something the average person can pass through. Besides, threatening the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir's position is simply impossible!"

"That's right, I will always support the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir. It was you who saved me; I'll never forget it for the rest of my life!"

"No matter what, Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar sir is the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars that we recognize!"

Seeing he had finally dispelled everyone's doubts, Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't help but sigh in relief...

Fortunately, he hadn't shown any overt hostility, or the situation would have been troublesome!

It could easily lead to the issue that Xu Sheng was not from Sea God's Island!

...

Elsewhere, the Sea God also seemed to have sensed the situation on Sea God's Island...

A few intriguing expressions appeared on his face, "Oh? I didn't expect that after all this time, Sea God's Island would actually open the Trial of the Sea God again. I'm quite curious to see what sort of talents the Soul Masters participating this time possess!"

Immediately, he used his Divine Power to condense a phantom mirror image in front of him…

Soon, a black beam of light shooting straight into the sky appeared within the mirror...

At that moment, the Sea God couldn't help but widen his eyes, exclaiming in shock, "To start with black… Black Rank? Are the talents and potential of the Sea Soul Masters participating in the Trial of the Sea God this formidable? It's no surprise they come from the territory that child manages!"

Leaving Sea God's Island in Poseissi's hands was indeed the right choice!

In the past, most of the Sea Soul Masters who participated in the Trial of the Sea God were mere yellow grade or white grade, and it was considered good if one or two reached the Purple Rank!

And this time, as soon as he sensed their presence and peered in, he saw someone who had broken through to the Black Rank; perhaps, someone who could inherit his mantle might appear later!

However, the scene swiftly shifted, and Xu Sheng's face was reflected on the mirror...

The Sea God propped up his chin, rather puzzled, "Wait... this face, haven't I seen it before?"

He indeed had an impression of this kind of face, but because he didn't pay much attention to the Lower Realm, he couldn't recall it at the moment!

Just then, a sudden, icy voice startled him awake...

"Sea God, sitting there alone with that sleazy smile on your face damages the image of the Divine Realm!"

The newcomer turned out to be the Destruction God, one of the Divine Kings!

Clutching a wand filled with an aura of destruction, he stared intently at the former...

The Sea God swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "D-Destruction God, I… I..."

Thinking of how he exhausted his life to break through to godhood and enter the Divine Realm!

Yet in front of the other, he hadn't the courage to speak his thoughts clearly, how shameful!

The Destruction God snorted coldly, "You can't even speak clearly, I wonder how someone like you became a First-Level God!"

Looking at this fellow, there's no way he could be a threat to the safety of the Divine Realm!

After all, he was too weak!

The Sea God scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "Destruction God is right... being able to come to the Divine Realm, must be a stroke of luck!"

Soon, the Destruction God's gaze fell upon the unscattered phantom image...

Squinting his eyes, he said, "Oh? You're actually paying attention to the Lower Realm, don't tell me you're contemplating intervention?"

The Sea God, realizing the misunderstanding, quickly waved his hands, "Destruction God, that's not what I meant, I just wanted to find someone with exceptional talent to inherit my godhood!"

After saying this, he intended to disperse the phantom image...

However, he was stopped by the Destruction God...

His gaze firmly fixed on the phantom image of Xu Sheng, he said with surprise, "This young man's talent seems rather impressive."

And strangely, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before!

Hearing this, the Sea God finally breathed a sigh of relief...

"Yes, Destruction God, such a gifted Soul Master is indeed rare in the world I once lived in!"
