Joy and anger, sorrow and fear, love, hate, and desire: the seven emotions
Even in the secluded space, Shui Yue'er sensed something was amiss.
Despite the turbulent undercurrents at midday, progress is extremely difficult.
Each step required a significant amount of Soul Power, as if traversing a swamp.
The oppressive force pressing down from all directions made her shoulders tremble and her breathing become rapid.
"Hmm..." She sensed something was wrong, "What... this is liquid Sea God's Light!"
She barely managed to look up. At the far end of the space stood a statue of the Sea God, thirty stories Lou Gao, overlooking all living beings.
Holding the stone Trident, though somewhat rough, it exuded boundless power.
Shui Yue'er's knees trembled, and she almost knelt down!
"No, Ye Hua is arrogant and never kneels before gods!"
I can't let him down!
Shui Yue'er quickly took out the Sea God's Trident, which made her feel a little better.
The power was no longer suppressed, and the seawater made way.
"Phew—" she breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The assessments are all interconnected; no wonder one must first pull out the Sea God's Trident before cultivating to the Titled Douluo."
"Without Divine Artifact and strength, I'm afraid I wouldn't just be unable to move, but would be crushed into a meat patty!"
Just then--
Buzz!!!
The stone eyes of the statue suddenly lit up.
The immense divine power struck, nearly causing space itself to collapse!
Shui Yue'er felt her palm suddenly go empty; the Sea God's Trident, which she had been holding tightly, slipped from her grasp.
It transformed into a blue-gold stream of light, surged in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye replaced the stone Trident, now held in the statue's hand!
"Why don't you kneel before me, the god!"
The sound was deafening, and the anger was overwhelming.
Shui Yue'er staggered, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
Is this Kamui?
Shui Yue'er swallowed hard, forcing her head up despite the oppressive pressure.
Why should I kneel!
"Getting to this point has been incredibly difficult!"
Why should we submit to others?
The atmosphere froze instantly.
Unexpectedly, the statue did not get angry; instead, it laughed heartily.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"You must have strong self-respect; you are worthy of the burden of the Sea God!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Trident transformed into a streak of light and flew back into Shui Yue'er's hand.
The weight remained the same, but it felt more intimate, as if it were completely under her control, capable of lifting the vast ocean with a mere wave of her hand.
"Let me assist you in tempering your divine body."
The statue came to life, waved its hand, and the Sea God's Light surged towards Shui Yue'er!
Shui Yue'er's stagnant Soul Power surged dramatically in an instant!
Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly, but seeing that the Sea God didn't cause any trouble or make a move.
Shui Yue'er felt a warm sensation all over her body, and her meridians were being rapidly expanded!
Level 96!
Level 98!
Level 99!
The shackles of the Ultimate Douluo are as fragile as paper!
Shui Yue'er suddenly opened her eyes, a blue-gold light flashing in them, and all her Soul Ring appeared.
Black, black, black, black, black, black, blue and gold, red!
The Eighth Soul Ring [bestowed] by the Sea God makes him stand out from the crowd!
"With the required Soul Power, all that's left is the Spirit Bone."
The moment the words left his mouth, a searing heat surged into his left arm!
Shui Yue'er groaned in pain, her consciousness momentarily fading.
The temple before them was shattered, and in its place stood a bustling Great Soul Arena.
"What is this?" Shui Yue'er asked blankly.
Her mind went completely blank; she couldn't remember anything.
"Yue'er! That's wonderful!"
"The final water rocket was so accurate! It turned the game around!"
A familiar voice rang in my ears.
Shui Yue'er turned her head blankly, only to see the former Skywater Team surrounding her.
Before she could react, the girls picked her up and tossed her into the air.
The cheers from the audience were like a tsunami, engulfing her.
"Is this the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena?"
"Where do our Seven-on-Seven Spirit Battle meet?"
Shui Yue'er blinked and looked around.
"Here you go!" Xue Wu handed over a chilled juice. "Thirsty?"
Shui Bing'er glared at her, "She has cavities, and you still give her the drink."
"What's wrong with that? Yue'er likes it!" Xue Wu shrugged.
"Exactly! At worst, we can just hire Healing-type Soul Master!" the other team members chimed in.
Shui Bing'er put her hand to her forehead, "I'm truly impressed by you all. Don't let this happen again!"
Xue Wu stuck out her tongue and stuffed the juice into Shui Yue'er's hand.
A chill spread through her palm, Shui Yue'er couldn't help but bite down on the straw.
The refreshing watermelon flavor explodes, bringing an instant feeling of happiness.
"Come on, Yue'er," Xue Wu pulled her up, "Let's go back to the academy."
"Today is your first match, you should celebrate!"
"From now on, you are Douluo I!"
Etc!
Shui Yue'er suddenly woke up with a start.
A bitter smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
It was just a dream of memories...
At that time, she was the youngest member of the team and their darling.
Everyone protected her, competing to have late-night snacks and watch the sunrise...
Now I'm all grown up and have graduated.
The team members also went their separate ways.
"Thank you," Shui Yue'er eyes welling up with tears, "But there are still people waiting for me."
"Huh?" Xue Wu was stunned, then teased, "Is he someone's boy?"
Shui Yue'er laughed out loud.
"That's right, it's my husband!"
A wave is a farewell.
The illusion dissipated.
A hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes.
"This is the emotional illusion that Ye Hua spoke of!" she pondered.
Before she could react, a second wave of burning sensation hit her.
This time it's the right arm bone!
"Hiss--"
The excruciating pain made her gasp.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in an alley.
"Where is this?" Shui Yue'er asked, bewildered.
I've even been to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.
This place is completely unfamiliar!
"Hey beautiful, are you walking alone at night?"
"That wouldn't be good. Would you like me to take you?"
Shui Yue'er looked up, "Ma Hongjun?!"
That fat man with big ears, wearing red clothes, isn't that Ma Hongjun?
"Don't be shy," Ma Hongjun reached out and grabbed her, "I'll take you..."
"Get out!!!" Shui Yue'er roared.
Ma Hongjun was stunned by the shout, but his face immediately contorted into a ferocious expression.
"Pah! Dressed like that! What are you pretending for!"
Shui Yue'er frowned, looking at herself. Wasn't that just a combat suit?
Seeing Ma Hongjun rubbing his hands together, approaching step by step, his greasy hands reaching towards her chest.
Shui Yue'er's anger rose from her heart!
Pfft!
Sea God's Trident pierced the heart.
Ma Hongjun stared in astonishment, then collapsed and died.
But then, someone happened to pass by the alleyway.
"Murder!!"
"Guards! City defense troops! City defense troops!"
Oops!
Shui Yue'er finally realized what was happening.
Tell him!
Hearing the footsteps of the city defense troops, Shui Yue'er decisively slipped away!
After many twists and turns, we finally broke free of the encirclement!
Crack! The illusion shatters!
Shui Yue'er was panting heavily.
Luckily, she ran fast!
This illusion is so eerie!
Outside the examination hall, Xiao Wu seemed lost in thought.
"Brother, this assessment seems to be related to emotions."
"First joy, then anger; joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, desire?"
Ye Hua nodded approvingly, "That's right."
"Gods advocate being without desires and without weaknesses; to become a god, one must naturally overcome emotions."
Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat. "If we become gods, won't we all become heartless people?"
Ye Hua chuckled, "Then look at it now, is Shen Wuyu still alive?"
Xiao Wu shook her head, saying that, in the Fifth Trial alone, the Sea God used them to scheme against the Siren.
This shows that God at least still has anger, is petty, and vindictive.
She breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that becoming a god wouldn't mean losing even love and desire.
What a pity it would be to look at the person in front of you but not want to show any fear!
"Look, the third level is starting!" Ning Rongrong pointed to the light screen.
Xiao Wu looked over, as if to agree with her, and this person was none other than Ai!
But when they saw what was happening on the light screen, the women's expressions turned strange.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Hua!
