In the Sea God Seagod Hall Seagod Mountain of Sea God Mountain, Poseidon watched through a projection as the three, led by Sea Dragon Douluo, strolled leisurely up the steps.

Her face was expressionless, revealing neither joy nor sorrow, but a glint of light would occasionally flash in her eyes, as if she were deep in thought.

Soon, the four of them reached the end of the stairs.

Apart from a rather spacious plaza, the magnificent Seagod Hall occupies most of the hilltop.

Unlike the exquisite and Holy Light- filled Worship Hall, the Seagod Hall, while magnificent, is quite rugged, representing two completely different styles.

Han Li admired the distinctive architecture and found it to have a unique charm.

"Sea Dragon, you may leave."

A slightly authoritative female voice came from the Seagod Hall gates, and Bo Saixi emerged from the temple.

Sea Dragon Douluo bowed respectfully, nodded to Han Li and the other two, and turned to walk down the mountain.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Han Li saw the renowned Seagod High Priestess.

She was the tallest female human Soul Master Han Li had ever seen, almost 1.8 meters tall.

She was completely shrouded in a bright red robe, and her long, sea-blue hair cascaded down her back, almost touching the ground.

Her delicate features make her look no older than thirty. Her beauty comes more from her temperament: noble, elegant, and warm.

In her right hand, she held a three-meter-long scepter. The scepter was golden, just like the gold that had appeared in the sky earlier. It was engraved with magical patterns, and the head of the scepter had a diamond-shaped protrusion that resembled a spear. Five inches below the tip of the spear, a diamond-shaped golden gem was inlaid.

To put it simply, the state she exudes is like a plus version of Bibi Dong in public. In terms of appearance, she is just as stunning, but her temperament carries a touch of world-weariness that seems incongruous with her face, making it impossible not to be captivated by her.

Women are like wine, indeed rich and flavorful, no wonder they can attract Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen.

"Qian Daoliu, it's been a long time."

Her gaze swept past Han Li and Ye Lingling before landing on Qian Daoliu. The corners of her mouth curved slightly, as if she were smiling, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that nothing had changed, just a smile.

"Top-quality tea!" Just from this small gesture, Han Li had already labeled her. Perhaps she didn't mean it that way, but Han Li had already defined her, so naturally he would have some prejudice.

Qian Daoliu was calmer than Han Li had imagined; he simply nodded, his eyes quite clear.

"It has indeed been a long time. You haven't changed much, Bo Saixi."

"Aren't you going to introduce it?"

After the two greeted each other, Bo Saixi seemed to notice the two juniors beside him and turned his gaze to Han Li and Ye Lingling.

Upon hearing her words, Qian Daoliu did not begin the introduction as she had expected. Instead, he turned his gaze to Han Li, indicating that he should do it himself.

This gesture caused Bo Saixi to tighten her grip on the scepter.

She had been observing them since they arrived at Sea God Island. She was certain that the boy was the main one among the three, but she didn't expect that Qian Daoliu would hand over the initiative from the very beginning.

"Han Li, the Spirit Hall Saint Child".

"Spirit Hall, Ye Lingling."

"Greetings, Seagod High Priestess."

After giving Ye Lingling a look, the two still introduced themselves in a proper manner, as etiquette should not be neglected.

Before the other party clearly shows any malice, Han Li doesn't mind doing these superficial things. In case something happens, he'll have a legitimate reason to act, since he's not a bad person.

"Where did you receive your teachings from?"

Bo Saixi nodded, looked at Ye Lingling, and asked directly.

When the corresponding changes occurred on Sea God Island before, even she could only know the result, and was also unaware of the inside story.

With Mental Sharing from beginning to end, under Han Li's instructions, Ye Lingling slightly raised her hand and took out the Sea God's Heart from the Soul Tool on her necklace.

"In reply to your question, senior, I received the Lord Sea God's inheritance from this Soul Tool called the Sea God's Heart."

The Sea God's Heart held in Ye Lingling's hand and the pale golden trident on her forehead resonated with each other, causing the coreless Seagod Trident in the Seagod Hall behind Bo Saixi to hum, conveying a hint of joy.

"You've passed the First Trial?"

Bo Saixi's eyes widened slightly, and her hand holding the scepter tightened unconsciously.

The reaction of the Seagod Trident proves something; a simple binding wouldn't create this sense of resonance.

"Yes, to be precise, my Second Trial and Third Exam were conducted simultaneously. Gaining the approval of the Sea God's Heart and pulling out the Seagod Trident were also part of my subsequent two tests."

Ye Lingling felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so she moved closer to Han Li before answering truthfully.

Bo Saixi's expression froze for a moment, and her gaze toward Ye Lingling was somewhat inexplicable.

Doesn't this mean that the other party only needs to enter the main hall, combine the two into one, and then pull out the Seagod Trident to complete one-third of the progress? This is different from all the God Exam she has ever seen before, and she doesn't even know what the other party's First Trial is, or how to complete the test.

She felt a sense of being ordained, but so far, she had not received any feedback from the Lord Sea God, which made her feel extremely frustrated.

The Seagod Nine Tests clearly involved her life, and the specific tasks should rightfully be undertaken by her, the Seagod High Priestess. However, Ye Lingling skipped this procedure, making her feel as if her Life was being controlled by someone else, which was unacceptable to her.

"Kindness."

After Ye Lingling finished speaking, Bo Saixi simply replied with a single word and then turned her gaze back to Qian Daoliu.

"I didn't expect this meeting to take place under these circumstances. I've already arranged accommodation for you at the foot of the mountain. Please settle in first."

Qian Daoliu was about to nod when he saw Han Li take a step forward.

"High Priestess, shouldn't we let Lingling try it first?"

He pointed to the Seagod Hall behind Bo Saixi, where the buzzing sound could still be heard.

Bo Saixi turned her head and glanced at him indifferently. "I need to wait for the Sea God's oracle before I can arrange for her to undergo the assessment."

Han Li raised an eyebrow, understanding her meaning; his previous worries had indeed come true.

Waiting for the Sea God's response? A day in the Divine Realm is equivalent to a year on the mainland. It would take at least several months for him to respond, right? If something happens over there, wouldn't it take several years? If it's a normal God Exam, then waiting is fine, but is Han Li in a hurry? Obviously, he can't wait.

Moreover, the trident mark on Ye Lingling's forehead was so obvious that it was still flashing. You, a High Priestess, just wait like that?

Who do you think you are? Han Li glanced at her and pointed to the mark on Ye Lingling's forehead.

Do you recognize this one?

Bo Saixi didn't understand what he was trying to say, but he nodded nonetheless.

"I recognize the mark of the Seagod Nine Tests, which represents the identity of the Sea God's successor."

Seeing her quick and decisive answer, Han Li took the Sea God's Heart from Ye Lingling's hand again and asked, "What about this one?"

Bo Saixi frowned, but still answered, "The Sea God's Heart."

"And what about him?"

Han Li then turned to the side and pointed to Qian Daoliu beside him.

"Know."

Bo Saixi's expression turned somewhat gloomy, and her tone was no longer calm. If she couldn't understand what Han Li was trying to say at this moment, then she would have lived for over a hundred years in vain.

"So, with the Sea God's Mark, the Sea God's Heart, and a High Priestess is also a representative of the gods on earth, old woman, who gave you the courage to delay the God Exam?"

Han Li practically pointed his finger at her and cursed her out.

He made a deal directly with the Sea God. Although it sounds a bit unpleasant, Ye Lingling's God Exam was essentially a deal.

His masters, who had made the deal with him, all agreed and even made things easy for him, but in the end, he was made trouble by a watchdog.

Can Han Li tolerate this?

Clearly, he couldn't tolerate it.

When he was weak, he frantically hid and survived. Now that he's strong, and the Divine Realm isn't watching him anymore, if he still has to swallow his pride, wouldn't that be a waste of his strength? He didn't send Ye Lingling to Sea God Island to beg on his knees; he wanted to stand tall and pass this God Exam. How could he let such a worm delay him?

To others, Bo Saixi is a high and mighty Seagod High Priestess, but what does that have to do with Han Li? He's here to retrieve something.

As for whether the guards of the treasury live or die after he takes the items, that's none of his business; that's the owner of the treasury's concern.

The highest level of the gods' eight trials, the position of High Priestess is just one of the rewards. You can choose not to accept it. He had asked Qian Daoliu about this.

The process of the God Exam is not so strict that you will be stripped of your previous rewards if you do not inherit the position of High Priestess. At most, the rewards of the final examination will not be as great as you imagined.

When you choose the position of High Priestess and reap the benefits, you should consider the risks you will have to bear in the future. Assisting the successor in completing the assessment and making the final sacrifice is a responsibility that you must take on.

So you're saying that if you put it with Bo Saixi, you'll get the benefits but not the drawbacks? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

It's one thing to make things difficult during the assessment process, but now that the assessment content has been released, the procedure is flawless, and the Seagod Trident is right in front of them, they're preventing them from taking the assessment and trying to stall for time with a divine decree. What kind of idiotic move is this? The God Exam has a fixed procedure. Qian Daoliu has never received a divine decree from the Angel God. Does that mean he won't allow later test takers to take the assessment? If that's the case, he himself probably won't even be able to start the God Exam.

From the moment Ye Lingling obtained the trident mark, to be precise, in terms of status, she was already above the High Priestess Bo Saixi.

It's one thing if you didn't greet me when we arrived on the island, and Han Li didn't mind the small tests along the way, but he couldn't tolerate not being allowed to pull out the trident when we were already in the Seagod Hall.

Face is something that is given to each other. If you don't want it, then don't want it.

What kind of Douluo version of a fairy? You also want to escape from Sea God Island and write a short essay? You also want to find mountain flowers and sea trees, why not just enjoy the spring breeze?
