Toying with the Minds of Sea God Island's People

He saw two figures approaching together.

A man dressed in loose, casual clothes walked ahead, and perhaps by chance, his face was obscured by the shadow of the eaves.

The Sea Dragon Douluo's gaze quickly swept past him and landed on the tall figure following closely behind the man.

She wore a plain white dress, revealing her snow-white, slender, Swan -like neck and her delicate collarbone area, which was incredibly smooth and had a white jade-like luster. Her exaggerated fullness at the chest pushed up the top, revealing a deep and alluring cleavage.

The gold corset with its luxurious silver pattern perfectly accentuated her beautiful waistline, highlighting her stunning figure and slender physique.

However, this otherwise perfect figure has a huge gap; where the shoulder blades should be, the shoulders are replaced by empty air.

The smooth, unblemished surface, completely devoid of any visible scars, gives the impression that she was born with such a defect.

However, most importantly, even when her face was completely covered by a semi-transparent white silk veil, her naturally flowing, neatly styled, sea-blue hair remained unhidden...

Long, sea-blue hair!

The Sea Dragon Douluo trembled, his pupils contracted, and a thought that terrified even himself surfaced in his mind.

'She, she is—'

Great Enshrinement!!!???

As if sensing the gaze of the Sea Dragon Douluo, Bo Saixi's body trembled slightly. However, she didn't dare to say anything and even lowered her head like an ostrich, making her sea-blue hair even more conspicuous.

Not only because You Chen promised her that as long as she performed well as a female slave at the meeting, he would not torture her for the next month, but also because as long as the veil was not lifted, she could deceive herself that her subordinates had not noticed anything.

Sea Dragon Douluo felt a sudden dizziness.

Shocked and bewildered, anger boiled and surged uncontrollably.

He desperately wanted to kill the man right now and free Bo Saixi from her suffering, but...

He dares not!

The Sea Dragon Douluo's body trembled, and cold sweat poured down his back.

After recognizing the white-clad, masked woman as Bo Saixi, the identity of the man he had previously overlooked became self-evident.

He glanced at the man again, but found that the man's face was still blurry, as if it had been forcibly deleted from his brain. He could clearly see the man's face, and even "see" the half-smile on his face, but he could not retain any impression of what the man actually looked like.

Now, there's no need for any further verification.

"It's him! He's the culprit who killed the Evil Orca King, defeated the Great Enshrinement, and caused her to fall to this state! He's even completely taken control of the North Sea! The Mermaid Clan is merely his mouthpiece! He's the true mastermind behind the North Sea!"

Anger and fear churned within the Sea Dragon Douluo's heart.

"Hey, outsider from Sea God Island, although I know my slave girl Xixi is very charming, isn't it a bit too impolite of you to stare like that?"

Just as Sea Dragon Douluo was struggling with an internal struggle, You Chen took the initiative to speak.

At this moment, everyone on Sea God Island focused their attention on this person who had suddenly appeared.

Compared to the Sea Dragon Douluo noticed the mosaic on You Chen's face, these ordinary Soul Master didn't even realize that they hadn't seen You Chen's face clearly.

The Sea Maiden Douluo, naturally no ordinary Soul Master, was startled when she realized she couldn't remember You Chen's face. Her first thought was of the mysterious powerhouse the Sea Dragon Douluo had mentioned!

Her gaze was irresistibly drawn to the "female slave" beside You Chen, but every time her eyes were drawn to her, she would forcefully look away with great willpower.

Unlike the Sea Dragon Douluo, who recognized Bo Saixi directly because he had already anticipated it, the Sea Maiden Douluo, who was more familiar with Bo Saixi, although he also had a vague feeling at this moment, was more unwilling to believe it and unwilling to accept reality.

She simply stood there, pale-faced, waiting for the Sea Dragon Douluo, the leader of this expedition, to make a decision.

Just then, You Chen took the initiative to approach Sea Dragon Douluo, which gave Sea Maiden Douluo a way out, allowing her to temporarily isolate herself.

She gazed at the Sea Dragon Douluo, hoping that this Sacred Pillar Douluo, who was far more powerful than herself, could calmly issue orders and make the right choices, just like at the previous Sacred Pillar Conference.

The Sea Dragon Douluo noticed the hopeful and expectant look in the Sea Maiden Douluo's eyes, which only added to his pressure.

He opened his mouth, but his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.

Even the Sea God Island Soul Master, who were unaware of the inside story, noticed something unusual from the Sea Dragon Douluo's strange behavior.

Just then, You Chen grinned with a wicked smile. He suddenly grabbed Bo Saixi's shoulder and slipped his other hand under Bo Saixi bare armpit into her shirt.

Ring ring ring~ The clear sound of bells rang incessantly.

"She is my slave. If she had any dignity and manners as a Soul Master of Sea God Island, she should have turned her head away, closed her eyes, and covered her ears at this moment, right?"

You Chen teased and mocked, but his words carried a special magic, causing the Soul Master of Sea God Island, including Sea Dragon Douluo, to fix their gazes on Bo Saixi.

'Move it away! Move it away! Move it away!'

Sea Dragon Douluo roared and howled inwardly, clenching his teeth with all his might, trying to resist You Chen's hypnosis through willpower, but to no avail.

Blood seeped from between his lips and teeth, but compared to that, Sea Dragon Douluo felt his heart was bleeding even more.

'Why! Why! Why can't I close my eyes!? You beast! You beast!! You beast!!!'

Even as You Chen spoke, he didn't forget what he was doing with his hands.

The sound of the bells rang incessantly.

Bo Saixi forcibly suppressed her breathing, and with her strong will, only a few muffled groans escaped from between her lips.

Being stared at by a group of Sea Soul Master in her embarrassing state, Bo Saixi felt intense shame and humiliation, which ultimately made her unable to control her emotions, and her exposed fair skin blushed pink.

'A ringtone? Why is there a ringtone?'

Sea Dragon Douluo couldn't help but think in this direction.

'No, I can't think about it! I absolutely can't think about it anymore!'

However, his thoughts were no longer under his control.

His eyes followed the movement of You Chen's protruding palm in his clothes, and he easily saw through the cause and effect; the answer was self-evident.

He didn't want to think about it. The holy and beautiful Great Enshrinement had not only had his arms, which he used to fight, cruelly severed, but also had his body forcibly adorned with extremely humiliating and tasteless ornaments.

His murderous intent was surging wildly, but it was completely futile. He couldn't even close his eyes or shut his ears.

You Chen became increasingly audacious. He wrapped Bo Saixi arms around Bo Saixi's slender waist, lifted her veil slightly with one hand to reveal her alluring red lips, and passionately kissed Bo Saixi in front of the two Sacred Pillar Douluo and a group of Sea Soul Master.

With her lips and teeth forcibly pried open, Bo Saixi could no longer restrain herself. Her suppressed breaths were like those of a rose caressed by a light rain, delicate yet with a barely perceptible tremor.

She instinctively wanted to push You Chen away, but then belatedly realized that she no longer had arms. So her melodious cries were mixed with sobs, and her charm was tinged with a touch of sorrow.

As the music entered his ears, what made Sea Dragon Douluo feel even more ashamed was that his mind naturally began to fantasize about the pure and voluptuous body beneath the elegant white robes.

Imagine that porcelain-perfect piece, or the scene of adding or removing parts like a toy... His thoughts expand uncontrollably.

However, at one point, he suddenly found that he could move again.

Only...

He noticed it.

Unlike themselves, the other Sea Soul Master who also realized the truth did not repent in their hearts, but instead revealed lustful expressions.

They are enjoying it.

Even though Bo Saixi didn't reveal an inch of skin that shouldn't be exposed, just by listening to the occasional cries Bo Saixi let out, they could almost reach the level of understanding the ultimate truth based on their imagination alone.

The believers, who were devoted to the gods, had never seen such a beauty before. The half-lifted veil did not reveal Bo Saixi's full face, but it added to her alluring beauty, like a pipa player half-concealing her face. Her seductive lips, high nose bridge, and perfect face shape were enough to make them fantasize and salute.

Seeing all this, Sea Dragon Douluo's killing intent surged.

He unleashed his Soul Power without even thinking.

However, it wasn't aimed at You Chen. Without even thinking, his instincts told him that it was a pointless act, so he—aimed at his own people!

Dozens of powerful Soul Power impacts almost instantly turned the accompanying Sea Soul Master into minced meat!

The next moment, Sea Dragon Douluo finally regained consciousness.

"Hai, Sea Dragon! What have you done!?"

The Sea Maiden Douluo let out an incredulous scream.

Sea Dragon Douluo stood there, stunned.

He desperately wanted to say that everything was orchestrated by You Chen.

But he couldn't deceive himself; You Chen had merely stirred up his inner emotions, but the one truly in control... was himself.

He could not tolerate the blasphemy committed by these impure beings against his revered Great Enshrinement!

His gaze hardened.

So what if they're killed? These guys who can't keep their true nature and are indulging in their lust have no right to be believers in the great Sea God!

I believe that if the Sea Maiden Douluo had seen what just happened, he would have agreed with his idea.

Um?

The Sea Dragon Douluo's body trembled. He looked up abruptly and saw You Chen standing calmly next to the neatly dressed Bo Saixi, giving him a strange smile.

Sea Dragon Douluo's pupils constricted, and his body twitched violently.

'Could it be... that everything I just saw was just an illusion created by this man?! Those compatriots with their corrupt expressions were just ordinary servants? Did I... did I kill my innocent compatriots?!'

"This is impossible, this is impossible, this is impossible..."

The Sea Dragon Douluo's pupils trembled violently. He knelt on the ground, uttering a mechanical, repetitive sound.

Of all those present, only Bo Saixi knew the whole story. At this moment, even if it meant going against You Chen's wishes and accepting punishment, she wanted to speak up and clear up the knot in her loyal subordinate's heart.

However, You Chen used his overwhelming mental strength to firmly control her.

At that moment, Bo Saixi felt endless regret.

She thought that by simply agreeing to be a docile female slave, she could avoid a month of torment without any loss.

After all, if You Chen really wanted to control the people from Sea God Island who came to visit North Sea, there was nothing she could do.

However, reality once again slapped her in the face.

Indeed, whether she appears or not, You Chen can kill Sea Dragon Douluo and others at will.

But at least it won't inflict such a severe mental blow on Sea Dragon Douluo, or even cause a conflict between Sea Maiden Douluo and Sea Dragon Douluo, and bring that conflict back to Sea God Island...

Seeing that she could not save the Sea Dragon Douluo, Bo Saixi finally used her mental power to plead, "Please, I will do anything, please stop torturing them!"

You Chen responded calmly with his mental energy, "It's still the same question. Tell me exactly how you found me and why you came to me. Don't try to get away with lies. You should know that I can tell whether you are lying by observing the fluctuations in your mental energy."

Upon hearing this request, Bo Saixi lowered his head and remained silent once again.

Between her subordinates and the Sea God, she naturally chose the Sea God.

In reality...

You Chen's purpose was not to plot against Sea God Island; his goal was always to destabilize Bo Saixi.

By constantly putting immense moral and emotional pressure on Bo Saixi.

This gradually made her doubt and waver in her faith, and she began to question whether all the sacrifices she had made were worthwhile.

However... as expected of Great Enshrinement whose faith is enough to elevate Martial Soul to the Sea God Martial Soul, the current situation cannot truly cause her faith to collapse.

Incidentally, you can also complete some daily tasks.

As You Chen's methods became increasingly outrageous, Bo Saixi's emotional threshold was constantly raised under his influence. Now, she could no longer complete tasks as easily as she had at the beginning.

Today's experience has compressed what would normally take several days into a single day.

However, the mission rewards are just a bonus.

If you're really after Bo Saixi's mission rewards, You Chen should at least reattach an arm to Bo Saixi.

With You Chen's current mastery of divine power, his skill in freezing and protecting Bo Saixi's arm, and his understanding of life force gained from the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone Technique, he can completely restore Bo Saixi to her original state, enough to restore her realm to the Soul Douluo level, thus significantly increasing the mission rewards.

Although that might require him to personally supervise and manage Bo Saixi at all times, the corresponding benefits would also be greatly increased.

As for directly attaching both arms and two Soul Bones? That would restore Bo Saixi's strength to at least level 98, and even You Chen wouldn't be able to completely prevent Bo Saixi from escaping.

Therefore, the task rewards are secondary.

You Chen had been monitoring Bo Saixi with his Divine Sense, observing the condition of Bo Saixi Martial Soul, and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Bo Saixi's faith did not collapse, but it was greatly shaken.

Just like two parts that fit together perfectly, they fit together as if they were one, and the seam is invisible to the naked eye. But if the two parts become loose under external force and gaps appear, then with careful observation, you can find the structure and traces that made them fit together perfectly.

This is how the Sea God Martial Soul appears to You Chen at this moment.

Although not completely split and freed from the influence of Meme, You Chen has already glimpsed some details.

'It's unbelievable, an absolutely ingenious design. If everything didn't fit my deductions, I wouldn't even be able to imagine that this is an acquired Martial Soul.'

Unfortunately, Bo Saixi's wavering was only momentary, and You Chen only gained this fleeting glimpse.

But proving that this path is feasible is already the greatest achievement.

This means that his research on Bo Saixi can indeed continue.

It must be said that even engaging in erotic activities is merely a means to serve scientific research; You Chen truly possesses the spirit of a scientist who would sacrifice everything to explore the truth.

Although this kind of fanaticism may be seen as abnormal by others.

However, he was not a pure scientist.

Temporarily suppressing his inquisitive spirit, You Chen looked at the Sea Dragon Douluo, who was now acting like a madman, with pity in his eyes.

While absorbing Bo Saixi's spiritual experience and insights, and considering using hypnosis to enhance the power of the Star God Pierce, as his hypnosis skills improved, he naturally developed another skill of the Star Soul Tactic — Stardust Illusion —during a moment of Flash of Inspiration.

Based on hypnosis, it uses Soul Power and mental power to surround the surroundings, virtually constructing a scene, and then uses hypnosis to enhance cognition.

The predecessor of Star Soul Tactic Soul Shocking Tactic, already had a certain foundation in hypnosis, so it's not surprising that it developed such a skill.

However, as always, as a rudimentary technique, this skill is far from powerful enough.

It's relatively easy to create illusions using the Stardust Power through strong mental strength. As long as the illusion isn't too jarring in contrast to reality, it generally won't be detected.

However, in terms of hypnosis, You Chen's skill is far from being able to forcibly distort thoughts and cognition.

Rather, in this low-fantasy world where the realm of gods is essentially a different kind of martial arts, it's practically impossible to use mental power to distort the thoughts of others.

Judging from the methods used by the gods in the sequel to the original work, it is impossible for a god without a corresponding divine position to do such a thing. For example, the God of Emotion can only do similar things through emotions, but the essence is not to directly distort thoughts.

In the Douluo Universe, it's likely that distorted thought is directly related to a distorted soul.

For mortals with slightly stronger mental strength, even gods may not be able to directly distort their thoughts.

It is likely that only a god-king who has condensed the divine position of "Soul God-King" could possibly achieve this through power alone.

In fact, the hypnosis technique used by You Chen was closer to the mortal techniques in martial arts. The initial sound of the bell was the trigger that would later completely ignite the mind of Sea Dragon Douluo.

True, extraordinary hypnosis techniques do not require such methods; hypnosis can be achieved directly through mental power.

The Seed of Fear the Soul Shocking Tactic planted in Hu Liena that day was closer to mental hypnosis.

His subsequent actions were not to distort the Sea Dragon Douluo's mind and render him immobile, but rather, just like with Bo Saixi, he forcibly suppressed the Sea Dragon Douluo's actions with his mental power. The application of hypnosis was merely to make the Sea Dragon Douluo ignore the fact that his ability to move was being suppressed by mental power.

Then, Sea Dragon Douluo would hypnotize himself into believing that his mind had been controlled by You Chen using strange methods.

From this moment on, he was truly hypnotized by You Chen.

After being hypnotized, under You Chen's various mental suggestions, Sea Dragon Douluo's mind completely followed You Chen's lead, and he could no longer distinguish between reality and the illusion created by You Chen using the star illusion.

Just like now, some people probably still can't tell whether You Chen actually groped Bo Saixi in front of everyone.

However, seeing the Sea Dragon Douluo's devastated state, You Chen was already very satisfied with the results of this first experiment and the use of Stardust Illusion.

The tasks were issued and completed quickly. While You Chen was completing Bo Saixi's daily tasks, he also completed the Sea Dragon Douluo's tasks.

He quickly glanced at the rewards for Sea Dragon Douluo's mission.

Even though it's the one that gets the most screen time in the original story among the Seven Sacred Pillars, its Destiny Force isn't that great. I reckon it might not even be able to compare to the members of the Imperial Fighting Team.

In this era, every Titled Douluo is a prominent figure, and they are all mentioned in the original work.

However, generally speaking, the blessing of Destiny Force is far less than their level of strength.

In the original work, there are only a few Titled Douluo are truly featured prominently.

Considering that Tang San's strength in the original timeline basically jumped three levels, and the Titled Douluo directly became a small fry, fast-forwarding directly to the God War, such a situation is quite normal.

The reward given by Sea Dragon Douluo was basically classified as a "resource reward" by You Chen. However, as the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars, he still revealed a "Soul Power manipulation experience".

Compared to the reward of a single Sacred Pillar, You Chen still prefers to reap the group reward of Seven Sacred Pillars later. However, based on his observation, the difference between retaining the first blood mission and not retaining the Destiny Force of these Titled Douluo is not that significant.

Furthermore, according to his original plan, it would be a long time before he actually took action against Sea God Island, so he simply chose to complete the mission directly.

"By the way, didn't you just ask why the agreement between the Mermaid Clan and Sea God Island was destroyed?"

After receiving the reward, You Chen looked down at Sea Dragon Douluo and said calmly, "The reason is simple: because I gave the order."

Sea Dragon Douluo showed no reaction, remaining as dazed as ever.

You Chen shook his head and sighed helplessly, "It seems like he can't hear it."

"What did you do to him!?"

Even if the Sea Maiden Douluo was slow-witted, he now understood that the Sea Dragon Douluo's madness had another hidden reason.

Her gaze still involuntarily drifted to Bo Saixi. The respected Great Enshrinement, the head of the Seven Sacred Pillars, was being manipulated by the man before her. She couldn't help but imagine how terrifying You Chen was. The more she imagined how terrifying You Chen was, the more her body trembled and her Soul Power wavered. She probably couldn't even unleash half of her usual fighting strength.

Humanity's anthem is an anthem of courage, but it seems that the Sea Maiden Douluo failed to play this battle song.

"Sea Maiden Douluo, is it? Since your leader can't give a proper response, you will have to accept my decree. Listen carefully—from now on, the North Sea will be my territory and the territory of the Mermaid Clan. Once you scum from Sea God Island enter the territory, you will all be killed without mercy. Don't blame anyone if you die. Don't say I didn't warn you."

All around were the corpses of Sea Soul Master, their bodies decaying and filled with confusion and shock, and the stench of blood was unbearable.

Suddenly, You Chen unleashed a powerful aura, a terrifying force mixed with the bloodlust of the Sea Soul Master killed by their comrades. The sounds of mermaids laughing in the pond could be heard from time to time in the courtyard, creating a strange and eerie atmosphere that enveloped the Sea Maiden Douluo's heart.

The noble Sea Princess is his puppet, the sacred and powerful Great Enshrinement has become his slave, and the steady Sea Dragon Douluo has been driven mad by him.

It was as if all the living beings present were playthings manipulated at will by this devilish man before him.

This indescribable horror, absurdity, and distortion made the Sea Maiden Douluo wish she could gouge out her own eyes and pierce her own ears.

I don't want to see, I don't want to hear, I don't want to think!

This is too difficult. It took me forever to fix the pre-approval process. I'm never driving again.
