Seahorse Douluo: You All Possess Unique SkillsWhen the Soul Masters of Seagod Island saw who it was, their eyes lit up.
All five women were beautiful, especially the four women. The woman in the emerald green cheongsam had a seductive figure and eyes that seemed to hold autumn waves. Every smile and frown could ignite a burning desire in people's hearts. The woman in the black leather jacket had an extremely hot figure, but she gave people a cold feeling as aloof as the moon, keeping people at a distance.
The woman, dressed in a light blue dress, had an elegant and refined appearance, with a graceful and serene demeanor, like a lady from a distinguished family.
As for the last person, her fiery red dress burned like a raging fire, and what was most eye-catching were her pair of sharp phoenix eyes, noble and majestic, giving people a great sense of pressure.
Never before have I seen such beautiful women on the entire Poseidon Island. It's lucky to see even one of these rare beauties, and now they're appearing in droves, giving me a strong sense of unreality.
As for Bai Chenxiang, she was also a great beauty, but in front of these four people, she was like a wooden box containing jewels, all her brilliance was overshadowed.
However, upon seeing the man in the middle of the four women, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
Why isn't this man me?
Recalling his earlier unfriendly tone, the middle-aged man in purple immediately coughed lightly. He realized it was inappropriate of him to have come out without tidying his clothes. Then, he put on what he considered a friendly smile and said in a gentle tone:
"Gentlemen, may I ask who you are and where you come from? If you do not mind, you may rest at my home for a few days. However, you will still have to leave Poseidon Island after a few days, as this is the rule of Poseidon Island."
Seeing the obsequious attitude of everyone, Zhu Zhuqing and Feng Wutong remained expressionless, while Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, both somewhat mocking. Then, Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Dai Yao with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
If your man is there, then your man should step up!
Dai Yao's expression darkened slightly. Although he knew that Zhu Zhuqing and the others would attract men's attention, he was their husband, and such undisguised gazes made him quite uncomfortable.
Stepping forward, drawing everyone's attention, he clasped his hands in a fist salute and said in a deep voice:
"Esteemed seniors, we admire Poseidon Island and have come from afar, hoping to pass its tests and join it."
The middle-aged man in purple paused, frowned, and looked at Dai Yao. He didn't have a pleasant expression towards this man who was surrounded by women on both sides.
His gaze lingered on the man and the women several times, his teeth clenched slightly, as if the relationship between the man and these women was not simple. However, he still wanted to leave a good impression on these beauties.
"Our Poseidon Island does not welcome outsiders. You'd better leave here immediately."
The man in purple said in a deep voice.
Many of the yellow-robed soul masters were surprised. Their leader had never had a good temper, so his gentleness now seemed to be due to the influence of those beautiful women!
Upon hearing this, Dai Yao smiled slightly and said firmly:
"Senior, there's no need to persuade us. Before we came here, we had a good understanding of the rules of Poseidon Island. We will accept the test of Poseidon Island, even if it means sacrificing our lives."
Dai Yao's firm tone surprised the man in purple. He shifted his gaze slightly and asked Dai Yao:
"It seems you came prepared. You want to be tested, so will these women also be tested?"
"That's natural."
Dai Yao nodded.
The man in purple gazed intently at the women behind Dai Yao and said in a deep voice:
"I know you are not ordinary people, but the trials of Poseidon Island are not so easy to pass. I advise you, you are in the prime of your lives, don't lose your lives here."
Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and stood beside Dai Yao. Even the cold, desolate moonlight revealed a smile, and she said:
"Senior, you don't need to persuade us anymore. We've already made our decision by coming here. Please lead us through the test."
Upon hearing this, the man in purple stared blankly at the crowd, opening his mouth several times as if to speak, but ultimately the words stuck in his throat. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Alright, since you insist on this, I will grant your wish. I hope you won't regret it later. Come on, follow me."
Immediately, the purple-clad man turned around, gestured to the several yellow-clad Soul Masters, and then, led by him, sped into the woods. Of course, he didn't forget to signal Dai Yao and the others to follow.
Dai Yao turned around, exchanged glances with his wives, and as he gestured for them to follow him, Dugu Yan spoke cautiously:
"Yao, can we trust what they say? This is their territory after all. If they want to harm us, we need to be prepared."
Not only her, but Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang also made no attempt to hide their worries. Zhu Zhuqing and Feng Wutong, on the other hand, showed no sign of anxiety, as if they didn't care at all.
Dai Yao glanced at the women's faces, smiled slightly, and said:
"Don't worry, it's fine. Let's follow them."
Dai Yao knew the original story and understood that the soul masters on Seagod Island meant no harm. However, this was not easy to explain, so he could only give a vague answer.
Immediately, Dai Yao took the lead, disappearing into the forest and following in the footsteps of the Seagod Island Soul Masters.
Dugu Yan glanced at Dai Yao with a hint of unfamiliarity. She suddenly felt that Dai Yao was somewhat unfathomable. Turning back to Zhu Zhuqing, who remained calm, she asked with some confusion:
"Zhu Qing, you don't seem surprised at all? Why does Dai Yao trust these Soul Masters from Seagod Island so much? He used to be a very cautious person."
Zhu Zhuqing turned her head to meet Dugu Yan's questioning gaze, smiled slightly, and said softly:
"Over the years, Yao and I have been together, and I have witnessed many unusual things about Yao. Every time this happened, things would go very smoothly afterwards. So, when I discovered this abnormality again, I had an absurd feeling that Yao knew exactly what was going to happen next."
"Therefore, I have no worries at all. Things that Brother Yao is comfortable with will not go wrong."
Dugu Yan was stunned, somewhat incredulous, her red lips slightly parted:
"You mean, Yao can foresee the future?"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said:
"I don't know, but I believe in Brother Yao..."
Seeing the expression on Zhu Zhuqing's face that showed no doubt about Dai Yao, Dugu Yan fell silent. She had always acknowledged that Zhu Zhuqing held the highest position among the four of them because she had spent the most time with Dai Yao.
But now it seems that Zhu Zhuqing is not only the person who has been with Dai Yao the longest, but also the person who trusts Dai Yao the most.
Not only her, Ning Rongrong felt the same way.
Only Bai Chenxiang, standing to the side, wished she didn't have ears at this moment. What was she hearing?!
Immediately, without further hesitation, the group activated their soul power, transforming into afterimages and disappearing from the spot.
In the woods, the trees were lush and the air was fresh. Stepping into the forest, it felt as if a warm, large hand was soothing one's chaotic emotions without their noticing. After a while, everyone found themselves unusually calm and focused, and their bodies felt lighter.
Just as the group was marveling at the changes in their bodies, the purple-clad man in front suddenly stopped, turned around, and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, we have arrived. Ahead lies the place where we will be tested—the Seahorse Sacred Pillar."
"The Seahorse Pillar is one of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island. The Seagod bestowed divine power upon the Seven Sacred Pillars to spread the God's will. Any one of the Sacred Pillars can test visiting Soul Masters. You will receive the Seagod's test here."
Following the gaze of the man in purple, everyone looked ahead.
Ahead lay a wide expanse of water, its surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting shimmering fragments of gold in the sunlight. In the center of the water was a triangular platform, from which a stone pillar rose skyward, seemingly connected to the will of the gods, covered with countless intricate patterns.
Beneath the stone pillar, a figure sat cross-legged with eyes closed, like a still sculpture, as if time itself had stopped for him.
The robes he wore were black.
As if sensing the arrival of an outsider, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a brilliant light pierced through the distance of thousands of meters in an instant. Even the water surface spontaneously parted to make way for him, and finally turned into a gentle breeze that lightly patted Dai Yao's body, causing his golden hair to flutter slightly.
Meeting Dai Yao's bright golden eyes, Seahorse Douluo, despite being a Title Douluo, could still feel a faint pressure.
Those brilliant golden eyes, like those of a powerful, ferocious beast, were staring at him. He was a Title Douluo, and he had never seen such an extraordinary young man before. Faced with the oppressive aura of a Title Douluo, the young man remained as immovable as a mountain.
Moreover, he was very concerned about the pressure from his Martial Soul rank.
Upon seeing the Seahorse Douluo cast a glance his way, the man in purple quickly stepped forward and respectfully said:
"Lord Seahorse..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Seahorse Douluo interrupted him, saying:
"Luke, I already know why you've come. You may leave now. I will discuss the trial with them personally."
The man in purple was slightly startled and glanced at Dai Yao behind him with some surprise. He didn't understand why this young man was valued by Seahorse Douluo, but he dared not ask Seahorse Douluo. He quickly called the other soul masters and left the place.
"Little ones, it's not easy for land-based Soul Masters to come to Seagod Island and undergo trials. They must first cross the Sea within the Sea before they are qualified to take the test. Finally, I advise you to leave here quickly, or there will be no way back."
Seahorse Douluo sat cross-legged, smiling as he looked at Dai Yao.
Dai Yao cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Senior, now that we have arrived at Seagod Island, there is naturally no reason for us to back down."
Seahorse Douluo smiled with satisfaction and said "Good". He was very curious about what kind of martial soul Dai Yao had, that it could make him feel pressure. You know, even Tang Chen back then could not make him feel this way about his martial soul.
He stretched out his hand and pressed down slightly, and the wide surface of water immediately boiled, like a raging ocean, churning up waves several meters high. Not only that, but a plane of azure blue appeared in the sky, parallel to the previously calm water, completely blocking the sea and the airspace above.
After doing all this, Seahorse Douluo stretched out his hand, making a gesture of invitation, indicating that Dai Yao and the others could begin.
"The test has begun. Who wants to go first? The first one might suffer a little."
Dai Yao turned around and said with a smile. Actually, this kind of test was not difficult for them at all.
Feng Wutong stepped forward, a sharp glint in her phoenix eyes, and said:
"I'll go first."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Feng Wutong circulated her soul power, and waves of heat erupted from her center. Then, her crimson wings spread open, and she soared into the air, looking down at the raging sea. She transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
The Vermilion Bird Martial Soul made no attempt to conceal itself; the seawater that touched the area around the Phoenix Tree instantly turned into white mist and vanished. The entire sea and sky were filled with evaporated water vapor.
However, strangely enough, this heat was completely isolated from the area below the original water level.
Feng Wutong was like a blazing sun, evaporating everything in her way. A few breaths later, with the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground, Feng Wutong folded her wings and landed steadily in front of Seahorse Douluo.
Seahorse Douluo's face was full of amazement as he exclaimed in admiration:
"Incredible skill! It confined the heat to a designated area without affecting the seawater below at all, and without using any soul skills. It seems to be an instinct of the martial soul. Little guy, can you tell me what kind of martial soul you have?"
Feng Wutong cupped her hands in greeting and said:
"The martial spirit is named Vermilion Bird."
Seahorse Douluo pondered for a moment. He seemed to have never heard of this martial soul before. It was truly strange that he hadn't heard of such a powerful martial soul. He decided to stop worrying about it and simply said:
"What a fine Vermilion Bird Martial Soul! It seems I am still ignorant. You passed the test of the Sea within the Sea so easily without using your Martial Soul. You are the first one to do so. You are qualified to accept the Sea God's test."
After thanking Seahorse Douluo again, Feng Wutong looked in Dai Yao's direction, her lips moving as she conveyed the situation beneath the sea to them. Actually, when passing through the Sea Within a Sea earlier, she deliberately slowed down to sense the conditions beneath the surface before finally crossing it.
Dai Yao nodded slightly to Feng Wutong and smiled:
"Rongrong is a support-type Soul Master, so I'll take her there. Who's next?"
Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and smiled slightly:
"I'll go."
Everyone nodded, and then, the Netherworld Overlord Martial Soul possessed her, and a crystal crown appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's head, majestic and noble, with a divine might in her eyes that made people dare not look directly at her.
She took a small step forward, and a strange chill spread out, causing the previously boiling water to freeze at a visible speed. In just a few breaths, a path of ice, several tens of meters wide, formed in the approximately two-hundred-meter-wide water.
Zhu Zhuqing smiled with satisfaction, bent her body slightly, and transformed into a stream of light, appearing in front of Seahorse Douluo, giving a slight nod.
Seahorse Douluo stared at Zhu Zhuqing in astonishment, as if looking at a monster. He casually destroyed the ice path and sighed:
"Without using any soul skill, you condensed a two-hundred-meter-long ice path solely based on your martial soul's talent. This power is almost comparable to an ordinary soul master's fifth soul skill. You are the second person to pass the test of the Sea within the Sea without using your martial soul."
"Little guy, can you tell me what your martial soul is? Why can't I find a corresponding martial soul in my memory that is this powerful?"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly and said:
"Senior, my martial soul is called Netherworld Overlord, and I am currently the only one in the world who can do so. Moreover, there will soon be a third person who can pass through the Sea of the Sea without using a martial soul."
Seahorse Douluo looked at the group on the opposite bank with surprise. The two women who came to the platform were terrifyingly strong; could the others be just as powerful?
Dugu Yan stepped forward and smiled:
"It's my turn."
With her long, shapely legs, she took a step forward, instantly releasing a strange wave of energy. The sea creatures, as if sensing the king of the ocean, leaped out of the water and came to the shore where Dugu Yan stood.
As if vying for favor, they wanted Dugu Yan to step on them to cross the sea within a sea.
Dugu Yan casually selected a large soul beast and stepped on it. The other soul beasts visibly shrunk, but they were not angry. They worked together to stabilize the raging sea.
Subsequently, Dugu Yan was carried by a soul beast and easily crossed the Sea Within a Sea.
This scene left Seahorse Douluo speechless. After Dugu Yan went up to the platform, he quickly asked:
"Little guy, how did you do that?"
After Dugu Yan went up to the platform, she thanked the many sea spirit beasts before turning back and explaining to Seahorse Douluo with a smile:
"Senior, my martial soul is the Azure Dragon martial soul, which has a natural affinity with many sea spirit beasts. After sensing my presence, they voluntarily carried me here."
Seahorse Douluo couldn't help but swallow hard. This wasn't just affinity with sea spirit beasts; it was practically domination! Although she had used a trick, a martial soul capable of dominating so many sea spirit beasts was definitely not an ordinary martial soul! Moreover, even he seemed to be able to sense the subservience of the woman before him.
A group of monsters has arrived!
Seahorse Douluo couldn't help but sigh. He coughed lightly and looked at the opposite bank again.
Seeing that Dugu Yan had successfully crossed the Sea within a Sea, Dai Yao turned around and looked at Bai Chenxiang, who was still shocked by how the three of them had crossed the Sea within a Sea before, and laughed:
"Xiangxiang, it's your turn now. If you encounter any difficulties, I can take you there."
Bai Chenxiang immediately woke up. Although the difficulties before her were considerable, she would not give up and quickly said:
"Thank you, Sect Master, but I still want to try it myself."
Dai Yao nodded.
Bai Chenxiang took a deep breath. Although she couldn't compare to geniuses like Dai Yao, she would never admit defeat easily! The Swift Martial Soul instantly possessed her, and she pounced out without hesitation. With a flash, she spread her nimble wings like a white shadow and flew straight towards the Sea of the Sea.
Yellow and purple, the four soul rings shone brightly one after another.
Bai Chenxiang's white figure moved across the waves like a wisp of smoke. Even the densest waves had their ebb and flow, and Bai Chenxiang seemed to slip through any gap, moving with the rise and fall of the waves. She could narrowly escape even the smallest opening.
The distance of over two hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye. The white, dust-like figure had already gracefully descended and landed steadily on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar Platform.
"Finally, a four-ring Soul Master who can use Soul Skills."
Seahorse Douluo thought with deep emotion. If everyone were a monster like the previous three, he would really have to wonder if there was something wrong with this world. However, although this woman was a four-ring Soul Master, she still had many merits.
Looking at the white figure landing on the ground, he praised:
"Pure agility-type Soul Masters, very interesting. You have all truly broadened my horizons today, each possessing unique skills. I'd like to see how these last two will cross this sea within a sea!"
Sorry, it's a bit long and I'm posting it late.
I haven't checked for typos yet, I'll post it first and correct it tomorrow.
