Poseidon: Where Did This Try-Hard Come From?

"Asura God Trial First Trial: Challenge a Limit Douluo completed. Reward: 10% Asura God power affinity."

Qian Xunji breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

His gaze pierced through the massive phantom of Sea God Poseidon and landed on Bo Saixi, who was sitting on the ground.

Although he had failed to achieve the goal of killing Bo Saixi, the most important thing was that the first Asura God trial was complete, and the affinity for Asura God power was now in his hands.

Unlike Tang San, who required Xiao Wu to act as a scabbard and use a fusion technique to wield the power of the Asura God Position, Qian Xunji's future would allow him to use the complete power of the Asura God all on his own.

While he would prefer to create his own god position rather than inherit one from another, it was clear that Douluo Continent lacked the necessary conditions for such a feat.

Even if he collected enough faith, he could only condense a First-Class God Position.

To become a God King, one required immense fortune to even have a possibility of success.

The Sea God phantom dissipated.

Countless believers on Sea God Island cheered aloud.

"Respectfully send off Lord Sea God!"

After respectfully seeing off the Sea God, the High Priest of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi, looked up and glared at Qian Xunji.

It was all this bastard's fault that Lord Sea God Poseidon had become dissatisfied with her.

Why couldn't he just stay on the mainland instead of coming to Sea God Island?

"Asura God Trial Second Trial: Slay nine 100,000-year soul beasts within one month."

Hearing the content of the second Asura God trial, Qian Xunji recalled that Tang San had faced a similar trial in the original story.

However, didn't Tang San's trial only require him to hunt three 100,000-year soul beasts?

Why did he have to hunt nine?

Could it be that the Asura God trials issued different tasks based on the strength of the examinee?

Qian Xunji did not dwell on it.

Trying to guess the thoughts of a superior being who had lived for who knows how long was a foolish endeavor.

Different levels of life meant different ways of thinking.

An ant could never guess the thoughts of a human.

Fortunately, he was not a native of Douluo Continent.

If a native were to receive this trial, they probably wouldn't even be able to track down nine 100,000-year soul beasts.

Near the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest, there were more than nine 100,000-year soul beasts living there.

Xiao Wu's family of four were all 100,000-year soul beasts.

If Xiao Wu's father were still alive, that would be five 100,000-year soul beasts.

Add the 100,000-year Death Spider Emperor and the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor, and that made seven.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and Qian Xunji cast his gaze toward the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai, who had transformed into human form.

Isn't there a ready-made 100,000-year soul beast right here? he thought.

Sea soul beasts were soul beasts, too.

There were certainly many 100,000-year sea soul beasts in the ocean.

But the ocean was too vast, and his strength would be significantly reduced if he entered the water.

The known 100,000-year sea soul beasts were all gregarious creatures.

However, since a 100,000-year Demon Soul Great White Shark had chosen not to stay in the ocean but had transformed into a human and come to land, it would be a waste not to kill her.

Having settled on his first target, Qian Xunji sprang into action.

He unleashed a foot technique that descended from the sky, his entire body enveloped in golden flames.

"There's a ball of fire in the sky," the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai remarked, looking up at the spectacle.

Then, the more she looked, the more wrong it felt.

The ball of fire was getting bigger and closer.

Finally, she realized what was happening.

"It's coming for me!"

No sooner had the words left her lips than Qian Xunji's iron boot, wreathed in golden flames, kicked her squarely in the neck.

With a crack, her bones shattered.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai was dead. Before the red light of the 100,000-year soul ring could even illuminate the entire Sea God Island, her body was collected by Qian Xunji.

One strike to kill, body retrieved—all in one fluid motion.

Then, Qian Xunji slipped away.

He flew at incredible speed, giving Bo Saixi no time to react or re-summon Sea God Poseidon.

"Asura successor, you killed the guardian beast of my Sea God Island; this is not over between us!"

Bo Saixi's eyes were bloodshot and she was panting like an ox, her gaze fixed firmly on the rapidly receding figure of Qian Xunji.

If she hadn't been unable to catch up to him, she would have long since overtaken him to use her ninth soul skill to summon Lord Sea God Poseidon down from the God Realm to fight in her stead.

God Realm, Asura God Temple.

Sea God Poseidon had not yet left, and from the water curtain, he watched the live broadcast of Qian Xunji killing his female shark.

He said angrily, "My female shark, my mount!"

"Asura, don't tell me that the death of my female shark has something to do with the second God Trial you issued?"

"The second God Trial This Seat issued was merely to have the successor kill nine 100,000-year soul beasts within a month."

Asura God spread his six hands, indicating his innocence.

What the successor did had nothing to do with him.

The successor only needed to complete the content of the God Trial, but he had to consider many things.

Upon hearing Asura God's buck-passing rhetoric, Poseidon felt helpless; he could only swallow his anger and leave the Asura God Temple.

Returning to the Sea God Temple, Poseidon rested his chin in one hand and fell into thought.

That old guy, Asura God, had hit the jackpot and found a very good successor.

There was a high probability that he would inherit his god position.

It was impossible to target Qian Xunji just because a former mount had been killed.

But to do nothing and swallow this bitter pill was not his style.

Suddenly, he thought of the Douluo Continent—wasn't there another possessor of the God of Slaughter Domain?

This possessor of the God of Slaughter Domain was also a level 99 Limit Douluo, but had not yet officially begun the Asura God Trial.

"Asura, since you already have an official successor, you shouldn't mind if I snatch away the other candidate," Poseidon said with a smirk.

Asura God wanted to ditch him, happily pass on his god position alone, and leave the God Realm to roam the universe in style.

That was simply not how a god should act.

Suddenly, Sea God Poseidon felt the content of his God Trial disappear.

He immediately cast his gaze down to inspect the situation.

It didn't matter if he didn't look, but once he did, he didn't know what to say.

The content of his third Sea God Trial, the Evil Demon Orca King, had been hunted by Qian Xunji.

Along with the Evil Demon Orca King's subordinates, dozens of ten-thousand-year Evil Demon Orcas had all been killed, and their bodies harvested.

Poseidon frowned, his mouth twitching.

"Where did this overachiever come from?" he muttered.

Within a single day, the opponent had first fought his Sea God High Priest and completed the first Asura God Trial.

After accepting the second Asura God Trial and reading the content, the opponent had immediately killed his mount, the Demon Great White Shark King, and then flown away from Sea God Island at high speed.

Then, on the way back to the Douluo Continent, the opponent had encountered the Evil Demon Orca King leading its subordinates to forage and had immediately hunted the entire Evil Demon Orca clan.

He hadn't rested the entire time; he was either fighting or on the way to a fight.

Most importantly, these three things had actually been completed within a single day.

After hunting the Evil Demon Orcas, he didn't even rest, continuing his journey and flying toward the Douluo Continent.

"If my believers were this hardworking and determined when they cultivated, that would be great," Poseidon sighed, speaking gloomily.

He was dissatisfied with his believers.

If the believers weren't hardworking, the god position couldn't be passed down.

He could only come to the continent to search for those with destiny.

This was the general situation regarding how the Sea God Island relic, the Heart of the Sea God and Vast Sea Universe Cover, had been lost and ended up on the Douluo Continent.

Of course, there was also the small intention of collecting faith from the continent to raise the level of the Sea God position.
