Sea God Island Emerges

Next, under Qian Daoliu's introduction, Wu Xian got to know the other Worships in the Worship Hall.

None of the Worships had any objections to Wu Xian becoming the Eighth Worship.

After all, it was their eldest brother Qian Daoliu's decision. Besides, Wu Xian was destined to become a Limit Douluo in the future, so they had no reason to object.

Two days later, Qian Daoliu sought instructions from the Angel God. No one knew what they discussed.

Qian Daoliu instructed Qian Xunji to hold a grand event, announcing to the continent that Wu Xian had become the Eighth Worship while openly welcoming the new deity into Spirit City.

The New God Worship Site would be built near the Angel Temple within Spirit City, where a new temple would be constructed.

The event was set for three months later.

On the day construction began on the New Temple, a notification arrived from the Chat Group.

Ding, changed Yu Xiaogang's fate. Obtained 50,000 points.

This did not surprise Wu Xian. After all, Yu Xiaogang's time studying at Spirit Hall and meeting Bibi Dong was one of the most crucial turning points in his life.

Now that this turning point had vanished, the impact on him was enormous.

It was not until Yu Xiaogang left Spirit City that Liu Erlong finally arrived.

It was not because she had run into any danger, but because her father, Yu Luomian, had come looking for her.

After learning of her recent breakthrough, Yu Luomian wanted her to acknowledge her ancestry and return to the clan.

But Liu Erlong refused. In her words, she did not want to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in such an almost charity-like manner.

If she were to return, then either they had to announce it to the continent and welcome her mother back into the clan, or she would fight her way back from the foot of the mountain gate.

Naturally, Yu Luomian could not agree. In the end, they parted on bad terms.

The moment the three met, Liu Erlong leaned her head close to Wu Xian's face, their eyes meeting.

"Tell me honestly. How did your strength improve so quickly? You had chances to earn points and didn't tell us, just secretly powering yourself up, huh?"

Wu Xian raised a hand and pushed her head away. "I clearly posted all the plotlines from Douluo Dalu 1 to 3 in the Group Chat. I even gave you a friendship price. For just 150 points, you could take the whole thing home. You didn't study properly, so how can you blame me?"

At that, Liu Erlong's gaze drifted. "How am I supposed to study something like that? It's over ten million characters. My head hurts the moment I see words, let alone that many. It's practically a heavenly tome."

"Then there's nothing I can do." Wu Xian spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.

As soon as he finished speaking, a fragrant scent wafted over.

Then a jade-like hand draped itself over Wu Xian's shoulder, and Liu Erlong's unreasonable voice rang out beside his ear. "I don't care. From now on, I'm following you."

Watching Wu Xian surpass her in strength in such a short time, Liu Erlong's heart began to stir.

She could not wait to become a Titled Douluo and charge into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

As they chatted, a travel-worn figure covered in injuries rushed into Spirit Hall.

Wu Xian patted the hand Liu Erlong had wrapped around him and gestured ahead. "See? Aren't the points here already?"

"Points? Him?"

"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, this incident should be the first battle after Sea God Island reveals itself."

As he spoke, Wu Xian rose and followed the figure toward the Spirit Hall.

At the same time, he pulled Bibi Dong and Zhang Lexuan along. As for Liu Erlong, no one even needed to call her—she eagerly followed on her own.

When the group entered the Spirit Hall, they happened to hear the figure's report.

"Pope, those so-called Sea Spirit Masters of Sea God Island not only destroyed our Martial Soul Hall Branch in Vast Sea City, they even made arrogant claims that no Spirit Hall Soul Masters would be allowed within Sea God Island's sphere of influence."

"I understand. Go rest first. This Pope will certainly gather Soul Masters and wipe out such villains."

There was neither joy nor anger on Qian Xunji's face, and none could tell what he was thinking.

After respectfully bowing, the reporting Soul Master turned and left the Spirit Hall.

Only after dealing with the matter did Qian Xunji turn his gaze toward Wu Xian and the others. With displeasure on his face, he asked, "Brat, what do you want from me?"

Wu Xian's expression hardened. "Pope, please address me as Worship."

Qian Xunji's eye twitched, and veins seemed to bulge on his forehead.

It took him a long while to suppress his anger before he waved them away. "Enough. If you have nothing important, leave first. This Pope has important business to attend to."

As he spoke, he moved to head for the side hall.

"Pope, you're not planning to lead several thousand people to their deaths, are you?"

"What do you mean by that? You know about Sea God Island?" Qian Xunji stopped and turned to look at Wu Xian.

"Of course. Want to hear it? It's explosive." Wu Xian grinned at him.

A hint of curiosity rose in Qian Xunji's heart. With nothing pressing at the moment, there was no harm in listening.

"Go on, then. I'd like to know how a mere Sea God Island dares to be so arrogant."

Wu Xian did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Pope, aren't you curious why it's called Sea God Island?"

Qian Xunji froze for a moment, then immediately understood something. "You mean..."

Seeing that Qian Xunji understood, Wu Xian stopped beating around the bush. "That's right. Sea God Island is called Sea God Island because the one worshipped there is the Sea God. And the High Priest of Sea God Island is a Peerless Douluo whose strength is on par with your father's."

Qian Xunji fell silent.

But Wu Xian did not stop, continuing, "Besides that, there are several Titled Douluos on Sea God Island—Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Woman Douluo, and the like. If you really foolishly take several thousand Soul Masters there to provoke them, I'm afraid you'll suffer devastating losses."

"Is that true?" Qian Xunji frowned, finding it hard to believe.

Was this still the world he knew? When had Titled Douluos, once so rare, become so commonplace?

And they were Titled Douluos who had never appeared on the continent before, not to mention there was even a Limit Douluo.

The continent only had two at its limit: his father Qian Daoliu and Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect.

Yet now, a High Priest of Sea God Island had suddenly appeared.

Well, a Divine High Priest was indeed very likely a Limit Douluo.

"Of course. I have no reason to lie to you. After all, I'm now a Worship of Spirit Hall as well. Reducing Spirit Hall's losses is part of my duty, isn't it?"

Wu Xian wore a serious expression. Seeing this, Qian Xunji believed him nine-tenths of the way.

"I understand. Thank you."

He turned and headed toward the Worship Hall. Although he now knew that Sea God Island had a Limit Douluo, he could not simply swallow this insult.

If Spirit Hall let the matter pass so easily, what would the continent think of Spirit Hall?

Therefore, he would ask his father, Qian Daoliu, to act. No matter what, Sea God Island had to pay a certain price.

As they watched Qian Xunji leave, the Chat Group issued another prompt at just the right moment.

Ding, changed the fates of several thousand people. You obtained 30,000 points.

[Liu Erlong: Huh? I got 3,000 points!]

Liu Erlong excitedly shook Wu Xian's hand.

She had done nothing, merely watched from the side, yet she had freeloaded 3,000 points. Was the Chat Group really this generous?

[Bibi Dong: Me too.]
[Zhang Lexuan: Me too.]

Now, when Liu Erlong looked at Wu Xian, it was as though she were looking at a walking treasure trove of points.
