Ling Chen recalled the five white-robed Soul Masters across the Sea in the Sea, then pointed at them.
"I came here alone. Even when I entered the island, I never harmed a single person on Sea God Island."
"Secondly, I'm only a Soul Ancestor. If I were from Spirit Hall, I would have waited until I became a Title Douluo before coming here to slaughter everyone. Why would I go through so much trouble?"
Ling Chen's words made Sea Horse Douluo temporarily lower his guard. However, now that Ling Chen had chosen to accept the trial, leaving would not be easy either.
"What you say makes some sense. But if you fail to complete the Sea God's trial, the Sea God seal on your forehead will explode. Even if you are from Spirit Hall, you will not escape death."
Ling Chen nodded and said solemnly.
"Senior, begin!"
Sea Horse Douluo turned around and silently looked toward the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, murmuring to himself.
"Just a Soul Elder. He probably can't stir up much trouble."
Sea Horse Douluo then poured in his power. The Sacred Pillar's radiance shot into the heavens, and golden light descended upon Ling Chen.

Sea Horse Douluo narrowed his eyes. He had never expected a level-forty Soul Elder to trigger the highest Red-Level Sea God trial. Yet what followed was Sea Horse Douluo's sigh.
There was no other reason—Ling Chen
