Inside the Sea God Temple.
Posexi sensed them through her perception.
She was also shocked by the speed at which Jin Mian and Qian Renxue were climbing under the Seagod's Light.
"No wonder Lord Sea God personally handed down instructions."
"It turns out the strength of these two is actually so formidable!"
As Qian Renxue released her Martial Soul.
Posexi's brow furrowed tightly.
"This is... an Angel?"
"Could this girl be related to Qian Daoliu?"
"Wait, that's not right. I remember Qian Daoliu has a Six-Winged Angel; why does this girl have a Twelve-Winged Angel?"
"Could it be a Martial Soul mutation?"
Posexi recognized Qian Renxue's Martial Soul at a glance.
"It seems this girl has no hope."
The Angel Martial Soul traditionally inherited by the Qian family...
She knew of it as well.
It was a God-level Martial Soul bestowed by the Angel God, who was of the same rank as the Sea God.
And since this girl's Martial Soul was the unprecedented Twelve-Winged Angel...
She would certainly undergo the Angel God Trial in the future.
The Sea God's trials would naturally have nothing to do with her.
So, she shifted her gaze toward Jin Mian.
"It seems there's a high probability it will be him."
...
God Realm.
Inside the Sea God's temple.
Poseidon, the Sea God, holding his trident.
He watched the crystal ball, which reflected the image of Jin Mian climbing under the Seagod's Light.
Saliva almost dripped from his mouth, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together.
"What good prospects! Both of them are better than the last."
"Sigh, it's just a pity that both have already accepted Godly Trials."
"I won't say anything about this one called Qian Renxue; as an Angel Martial Soul possessor, it's normal to accept the Angel God Trial. But why would this Jin Mian accept the Destruction Divine Test?"
"What does the Power of Destruction have to do with a crocodile?"
"I wonder if this kid is willing to give up the Destruction Divine Test to accept my Seagod Nine Trials."
"The hope probably isn't very high."
"Wait, this kid seems to have more than one Martial Soul; it looks like twin spirits."
"In that case, why don't I— Jie jie jie..."
Poseidon let out a wretched laugh.
Clearly, he was setting his sights on Jin Mian's second Martial Soul, Miris.
Unfortunately.
What Poseidon didn't know...
Was that even the Five Great God Kings hadn't succeeded.
Much less him, a First-Class God.
...
Outside the Sea God Temple.
Jin Mian reached the top first at maximum speed.
Qian Renxue followed closely behind.
"Xue'er, it's obvious I won this race again. As agreed, you have to grant me one request."
"I accept my loss; go ahead and say it."
"Well, I want a second child."
Slap!
Before he could finish his sentence.
The sound of a slap followed immediately.
Qian Renxue looked at Jin Mian with a face full of speechlessness.
"I just gave birth to two for you, and you want another one already? Do you really take me for a pig?"
"How could a pig be as good as you, Xue'er?"
"Besides, you can't go back on your word. We agreed the winner gets one request."
"And I'm not crossing any lines; it's a very normal request."
Jin Mian spoke with righteous conviction.
Qian Renxue thought about it.
It seemed there really wasn't much of a problem.
But having just given birth, she really didn't want to be pregnant again.
Suddenly.
A great idea flashed through her mind.
"How about this, I'll take a bit of a loss. When we go back, you go find Lingling..."
"Lingling?"
"That's not very appropriate, is it?"
"Wasn't it supposed to be you granting my request? Why are you pushing it onto Lingling?"
Jin Mian felt momentarily speechless.
Qian Renxue turned her head away: "I don't care. You either go find Lingling, or forget it."
"Alright, I'll listen to you," Jin Mian smiled mysteriously.
Ye Lingling, who was currently cultivating in Spirit Hall.
Sneezed several times for no apparent reason.
After the two finished their playful banter.
The Seven Sacred Pillars appeared one after another.
The seven of them looked at the two before them with complex gazes.
They looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
But before they could speak.
Posexi walked out slowly, holding her scepter.
"High Priestess." x7
The Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island hurriedly bowed in respect.
"Rise, all of you," Posexi said gently.
Her eyes constantly swept over Qian Renxue and Jin Mian.
Suddenly!
She abruptly struck out at Jin Mian with a hand-knife.
Jin Mian slightly tilted his body to dodge the attack.
Seeing the strike fail.
A flash of sharpness crossed Posexi's eyes.
She swung the scepter in her hand, using spirit power to gather a pillar of water.
"Does the High Priestess wish to test my strength?" Jin Mian smiled calmly.
"..."
Seeing her intentions seen through.
Posexi controlled the water pillar and launched an offensive!
Midway through its path toward Jin Mian, the water pillar transformed into a water dragon.
The terrifying spirit power attached to the water dragon...
Made the Seven Sacred Pillars unable to help but feel shocked.
In all these years.
They had only seen Posexi take action twice.
The first time was to deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King locked beneath the deep sea.
The second time was decades ago, fighting against two other Level 99 Peerless Douluos.
Yet today, for the sake of a young man, she had actually acted again.
And she showed no intention of holding back.
"Fire Dragon World Destruction!"
Jin Mian's left hand radiated ultimate fire-attribute energy.
In an instant.
He released a blast of dragon flame.
It collided with that water dragon.
Dense water vapor spread out.
The figures of Jin Mian and Posexi loomed within it. The massive energy fluctuations from the collision caused the surrounding buildings of the Sea God Temple to tremble slightly.
But as the Sea God statue inside the temple emitted a strange light...
The surroundings immediately stabilized.
The water vapor slowly dissipated.
The figures of Jin Mian and Posexi were revealed.
On Posexi's cuff, there were traces of being scorched by flames.
Clearly, in the collision just now...
Jin Mian had gained the upper hand.
"What powerful flames; even I find them difficult to extinguish," Posexi couldn't help but praise.
"High Priestess!" x7
Seeing that Posexi had actually fallen into a disadvantage...
The Seven Sacred Pillars turned pale with fright.
Over the years, as the strongest person on Sea God Island...
Even when facing the million-year Spirit Beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Posexi had never been injured.
Today, in a contest against a young man, she had actually fallen into a disadvantage.
It was simply unbelievable.
Jin Mian shook his hand and said nonchalantly, "Just some small tricks, just right for responding to a tentative attack from a powerhouse of the same level."
These words were truly not Jin Mian boasting.
Even though he and Posexi were both Level 99 Peerless Douluo powerhouses...
Jin Mian himself not only possessed two million-year spirit bones, nine Soul Rings—eight red and one gold—and a full set of Three-Word Battle Armor.
He also had the divine tool, the scepter of destruction, from completing the Seventh Destruction Divine Test.
Not to mention his second Martial Soul, Miris.
Looking back at Posexi...
Besides having the home-field advantage, what else did she have?
Posexi sized up Jin Mian for a moment and said again, "It's my first time seeing a Peerless Douluo as young as you. I'm curious to ask, how old are you this year?"
"Twenty-one by nominal age, twenty by actual age." Jin Mian gave his age.
As soon as these words were spoken...
Posexi's ice-cold face, which had remained unchanged for ten thousand years...
Showed obvious astonishment.
The seven people nearby who hadn't reacted yet suddenly felt like they'd been struck by lightning.
What did the High Priestess just say?
This kid is a Peerless Douluo?!
And the other party's age is only twenty!
This made it hard for them to accept for a moment.
They had cultivated for so many years, yet they weren't even as good as someone who had cultivated for fourteen years.
What kind of monster must he be?
