Sea God Island Has No Sea Soul Masters

Yin Hongye turned and headed back after he finished speaking.

Mu Hongchen lowered the Flying Soul Tool. The younger students squeezed out of the light barrier, their legs still trembling, yet their eyes shone brightly. They looked exactly like a group of children who had just watched a spectacular show.

"Hongye, we're not fighting anymore?" Mu Hongchen called out. "We're just leaving?"

"We're leaving." Yin Hongye did not look back. "More than half of Shrek Academy has been burned down. We've collected enough interest."

Long Yeyue looked at Yun Ming and shouted, "Yun Ming, you're just letting him leave like that?"

"What else could I do, keep him here?" Yun Ming was speechless. "He simply can't beat me, but I'm the only one at Shrek Academy who can fight him."

"Do you really think you can reason with this kid about morality? The fact that he still resembles a human being is already pretty good."

Long Yeyue was immediately choked speechless. Yin Hongye could neither be killed nor trapped or controlled. He truly was troublesome.

The most troublesome part was that he had few attachments in his heart.

His mother had died when he was young.

His father and younger brother had died when he was a youth.

Ya Li approached from afar. Holy light spilled down, and the Shrek students who had fainted from heatstroke gradually got back to their feet.

Yet they had not fully recovered. Their eyes still held the fear of death.

"This Yin Hongye really causes a huge mess every time he makes a move."

Her head ached. Yin Hongye truly had no idea how to restrain his power. He did not hold back in the slightest whenever he attacked.

"Without rules to bind him, would he care whether others lived or died?"

Yun Ming sighed deeply and watched as the Golden Ancient Tree's glow slowly faded. Yet no one noticed that a speck of blood-red flame was still burning deep within its crown.

One of the Golden Ancient Tree's brightest and purest branches quietly snapped off. It fell into the cracked mud at the bottom of the lake and was gently buried by the windblown sand.

Waiting to be forgotten by the world.

Qian Renxue could not help asking Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen, "Why did Light-Dark Douluo run to that island?"

"That is Sea God Island. The Golden Ancient Tree is on it, and they dug out a Sea God Pavilion beneath it using the Golden Ancient Tree. It can protect him." Yin Hongye smiled disdainfully. "It can indeed block my attacks. But do they really think I have no other options?"

"Sea God Island... does that name carry some special meaning?" Qian Renxue asked vaguely.

"Oh, that. Shrek Academy built an artificial lake to commemorate Tang San, called Sea God Lake. Legend says Tang San inherited the Sea God's divine inheritance. Sea God Lake is extremely vast and fed by underground water. Shrek Academy's inner court is located on the island in the middle of Sea God Lake, so it is called Sea God Island."

Mu Hongchen explained directly. As for using the wrong wording, it was a trivial matter to him. Whether anyone died or not was unimportant anyway.

"I see. Then what about the one from before?" Qian Renxue was puzzled. In her memories, Sea God Island had always been territory inhabited by Sea Soul Masters, a holy land for Sea Soul Masters.

They took pride in cultivating on Sea God Island.

At that moment, Bo Saixi, the Sea God High Priest from twenty thousand years ago, gripped her staff tightly. She was clearly nervous. If there was merely one more island, that would not be a problem.

But what if the new Sea God had abandoned the Sea Soul Masters?

The Seven Pillars of Sea God Island were also staring intently at the Heavenly Screen. They could tell that this Sea God's inheritance should have been obtained in their era. That meant they would be the ones testing the Sea God's inheritor.

If the Sea God abandoned the Sea Soul Masters, then for the Sea God's sake, they would increase the difficulty of the inheritor's trials.

The ordinary Sea Soul Masters on Sea God Island were watching as well.

Out at sea, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King guessed that his past self had probably already died. If he found out what that inheritor looked like, he would not mind wiping him out completely.

Now, he only knew that the other party was named Tang San and was a land-based Soul Master.

Within the Heavenly Screen, Yin Hongye and Mu Hongchen exchanged a look, both utterly confused. "So that island..."

"Damn, didn't that thing disappear into history? Now there's only this Sea God Island, and it doesn't even need Sea Soul Masters." Mu Hongchen was the first to speak.

"When our Federation sailed overseas and crossed the oceans, we never saw any other gathering places for Sea Soul Masters." Yin Hongye thought carefully. Aside from a group of Sea Soul Masters along the coast, there truly were no other Sea Soul Master settlements.

"And among Sea Soul Masters, in our era, we've only seen Vast Sea Douluo, a Limit Douluo, along with that group of Soul Masters from his family."

Mu Hongchen added, "If there really were so many Sea Soul Masters, every one of our ocean-going routes would have long been equipped with a Titled Douluo-level expert to protect the ships."

Behind them, the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy chimed in one after another. They had not seen many Sea Soul Masters either.

Upon hearing those words, the Sea Soul Masters were already itching for a fight. This made it exponentially harder for Tang San, who had just obtained the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, to land on Sea God Island.

The difficulty of the trial had received an epic-level increase.

If Sea God Island could exist without Sea Soul Masters, then this new Sea God did not have to remain alive either.

A land-based Soul Master like him could become the Sea God. That did not mean they could not!

Anyone could do it, but it absolutely could not be Tang San.

Sea God Douluo took a deep breath and closed his eyes, struggling to recall his faith in the Sea God. Yet in the end, he could not suppress his disgust toward this new Sea God.

The one laughing hardest at that moment was the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. "Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter! There are no Sea Soul Masters on Sea God Island! This Sea God's judgment really is something else!"

"Hahaha! I'm in a good mood today. I'll kill a few more Demon Soul Great White Sharks for fun."

As he spoke, his enormous body sank beneath the water.

The Sea God, casting a sidelong glance down below, blushed furiously. The inheritor he had just chosen seemed to have a slight problem.

There were not many Sea Soul Masters left in the future, yet those people still thought Sea Soul Masters were rare.

"Sea God, your judgment is no good. Look at me. If I wait sixty years, there'll be an excellent prospect in the future!"

The Asura God looked at the Sea God, his eyes filled with pride. The more he watched the recent battle, the more satisfied he became with Yin Hongye.

Rank ninety-seven, with actual combat strength beyond that of a Limit Douluo.

"Tch, as if your judgment is so good! Just keep waiting for another sixty years!" Poseidon curled his lip as he looked at Yin Hongye, then at the others from that era.

He did not seem to have encountered anyone suitable for himself.

"Just be jealous!" The Asura God was brimming with confidence. There would come a time when Poseidon felt awkward.

At that moment, Yin Hongye and the others had already completely left Shrek Academy within the Heavenly Screen.

Mu Hongchen dropped off the other students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, then suddenly asked, "Where are we going next? Straight to Mingdu, or somewhere else?"

Yin Hongye thought about it. This period should be when the Demon Plane was about to invade. Since the people from Shrek Academy were still here, they presumably had not yet been summoned to provide support.

He still had a chance to go spar with the demons and see what real demons were like.

"Let's head east," he said directly. The Yuanen Family lived in seclusion in Shangling City, in the central-eastern region of the continent.

"You're going to the East Sea? Back to your hometown?" Mu Hongchen could not help asking.

"That works too. I haven't been back in a long time." Yin Hongye's gaze was calm, as though there was little emotion in his eyes.

Mu Hongchen nodded and directly piloted the aircraft eastward. When they passed the Star Dou Forest—

The Ferocious Beasts from twenty thousand years ago were all furious.

That was not the Star Dou Forest at all. It was clearly a prison.
