The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians stood at the very front of the crowd, each exuding an extraordinary aura, looking down on youngsters like Lin Yu and Qian Renxue.
Facing their aggressive attitude, Lin Yu smiled calmly and gave a polite cupped-hand salute, saying, "Presumably, the seven of you are the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians of Sea God Island. This junior, Lin Yu, greets all Sacred Pillar Guardians."
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person. Seeing Lin Yu's polite attitude, Sea Dragon Douluo also reined in some of his overwhelming aura. He looked at Lin Yu with an arrogant and suspicious gaze: "You're the brat who injured Xiao Bai?"
"That's right," Lin Yu admitted generously.
The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians were all in disbelief upon hearing this.
Xiao Bai had only told them that she was severely injured by Lin Yu, but she hadn't mentioned that she was severely injured by a single punch from Lin Yu, as that would be too embarrassing to admit.
But for Lin Yu, at such a young age, to be able to severely injure Xiao Bai still left them feeling extremely shocked.
"How is that possible? This kid looks to be only about 16 years old. How could he have severely injured Xiao Bai?"
"One cannot judge a book by its cover. This human might just look young, perhaps? In reality, he should be around the same age as us. How could a teenager in his teens be so powerful?"
"That's right, I don't believe a teenager in his teens can possess such formidable strength."
"However, only after reaching the Titled Douluo realm do humans significantly slow down the aging process in their appearance. Even if he were the same age as us, he wouldn't be this young!"
"Moreover, he called himself a junior..."
The Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians simply couldn't believe that Lin Yu was only in his teens, but if Lin Yu was much older, his youthful appearance wouldn't make sense either!
Because before reaching the Titled Douluo realm, no matter how fast a Spirit Master cultivated, it wouldn't affect the changes in their appearance, growth, and aging.
Only after breaking through to the Titled Douluo realm does a human's lifespan increase, and the aging of their appearance becomes extremely slow.
This means that once one reaches the Titled Douluo realm, their appearance basically becomes fixed and won't change much anymore.
While the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians were discussing Lin Yu's age.
Lin Yu directly stated their purpose for coming to Sea God Island: "Esteemed Sacred Pillar Guardians, we have no ill intentions in coming to Sea God Island this time. We only wish for these young Spirit Masters behind me to undergo the Sea God's trials of your Sea God Island."
"We hope they can use this opportunity to gain experience. We kindly request the esteemed Sacred Pillar Guardians to grant us this."
"So, you've come for the Sea God's trials, huh."
Seeing that Lin Yu's group was there for the Sea God's trials, Sea Dragon Douluo shed some of his hostility.
However, Xiao Bai was their Sea God Island's guardian Spirit Beast and a friend of their Seven Sacred Pillars. Since their friend was injured, how could they easily allow Lin Yu and his group to undergo the trials?
Although Sea God Island had no rule prohibiting land Spirit Masters from taking the assessment, as the Sacred Pillars who initiated the Sea God's trials, they had the right to refuse land Spirit Masters from taking the trials.
Sea Dragon Douluo sneered, "Heh, we won't dwell on the matter of you injuring Xiao Bai, but as for the Sea God's trials, let's just forget about it."
"Before I change my mind and decide to make a move on you, immediately take your young generation of Spirit Master youths and go back where you came from!"
"The Sea God's trials will be ten times more difficult for land Spirit Masters. Even if they accept the trials, they will only fail. These young Spirit Masters behind you probably aren't qualified."
"Then, Sea Dragon Douluo, why don't you first see if the geniuses I've brought are qualified?" Lin Yu said, then turned to Dugu Yan and the others, "Dugu Yan, Zhuqing, Xiaotian, Bing'er, Huo Wu, Fire Wushuang, show them if you're qualified to accept the Sea God's trials."
"Yes!"
Except for Gu Yuena.
The six, including Dugu Yan, all released their Spirits and spirit rings, and at the same time, reported their respective ages to prove their talent and aptitude.
Dugu Yan, 20 years old, spirit power level 63!
Zhuqing, nearly 15 years old, spirit power level 47.
Oscar, 17 years old, spirit power level 47.
Sui Bing'er, 16 years old, spirit power level 55.
Feng Xiaotian, 24 years old, spirit power level 59!
Huo Wu and Fire Wushuang also consumed the Immortal Herbs given by Lin Yu not long after the Spirit Master Competition ended and they joined Spirit Hall. Their current spirit power levels and talents were also not low.
Huo Wu, 20 years old, spirit power level 52.
Fire Wushuang, 22 years old, spirit power level 51.
"One six-ring Spirit Emperor, four Spirit Kings, and two Spirit Ancestors! These young people are truly extraordinary!"
Seeing that Dugu Yan and the other six were all very young, had very high spirit power levels, and possessed powerful Spirits, the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians were instantly astonished.
Because even their Sea God Island couldn't produce so many talented young Spirit Masters at once.
But since these young Spirit Masters were all so formidable, the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians' expressions quickly changed from surprise to intense hostility.
To be able to gather so many talented Spirit Masters at once, in their opinion, apart from Spirit Hall from the mainland, very few forces could cultivate so many geniuses!
"Who exactly are you! From which forces on the continent!!" Sea Dragon Douluo demanded with a stern expression.
"Spirit Hall."
Lin Yu pronounced these three words heavily.
"What!!!"
The Seven Sacred Pillars instantly flared up in anger upon hearing this, and Sea Dragon Douluo became even more ferocious: "Indeed, it's Spirit Hall!"
"Decades ago, your Spirit Hall attempted to invade Sea God Island. Now you actually dare to come to our Sea God Island and even want your Spirit Hall's talented youths to undergo the Sea God's trials!"
"Ridiculous!!"
"Our Sea God Island will absolutely not accept people from Spirit Hall participating in the Sea God's trials!"
"Get out! Within three seconds, get out of Sea God Island!"
Sea Dragon Douluo's aura erupted, and his attitude instantly became extremely hostile. He began to count down: "Three!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't get so agitated~" Lin Yu smiled helplessly.
"Two!!"
Sea Dragon Douluo directly released his Spirit. Below his feet, two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings emerged, creating an extremely powerful aura.
"One!!"
"I've given you a chance. Since you won't leave! Then don't even think about leaving easily!!!"
Bang!
Sea Dragon Douluo made his move, charging forward with immense ferocity.
"Sigh, there's really no other way." Lin Yu shook his head helplessly and instantly vanished from his spot, rushing towards Sea Dragon Douluo.
"Seeking death!!!" Sea Dragon Douluo's killing intent surged as he threw a punch.
"Aren't you the one seeking death?" Lin Yu also threw a punch, sending it flying.
"Daring to directly clash with me, Sea Dragon, you are simply courting death!!!"
Sea Dragon Douluo was incredibly arrogant and conceited. He was a powerful offense-type Titled Douluo, and strength was his forte.
"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Yu looked indifferently at Sea Dragon, who was already in front of him.
As their gazes met, in the next second, their fists heavily collided.
