Landing on Sea God Island
"Good!"
Qian Xunji was satisfied with everyone's attitude and nodded.
He then handed the Sea God's Heart to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong stepped down the stairs and stood before the crowd. "Everyone, let me make this clear beforehand."
"This is called the Sea God's Heart, a token of the Deity. Use your Mental Power to probe it. If the Sea God's Heart reacts, it means this token is testing your Mental Power and talent."
"Conversely, if there is no reaction after a minute of Mental Power detection, it means your talent is not up to standard."
"But even if there's no reaction, don't be discouraged. Talents that catch the eye of the Deity aren't easy to come by; after all, it's the key to becoming a god."
A Soul Emperor in his twenties standing at the front spoke up, "Saintess, we naturally understand this; she is Deity who appears only once every ten thousand years."
"That's right, Saintess, let's begin. We'll bear the consequences ourselves," said the person standing beside her.
Bibi Dong nodded in agreement. "What I mean is, if there's a reaction, it might be a bit threatening. The token will have a slight backlash on your Mental Power during the testing process, so you must withdraw immediately."
"For the glory of the Spirit Hall, what danger do we fear!"
"For the glory of the Spirit Hall!"
"Long live the Spirit Hall!"
Bibi Dong said, "That's right, this is what a genius from the Spirit Hall should look like. Let's start with the first row from left to right."
"Yes!"
Next, Yue Guan took over the Sea God's Heart and presided over the testing of the Sea God's Heart in an orderly manner.
While the genius test for the Sea God's Heart was taking place in the Pope's Palace, on another part of the vast ocean...
After sailing at sea for twelve days, Qian Daoliu and his companions spotted a rather large island.
"Grand Worshipper, according to the navigation route, the island ahead should be Sea God Island!" a sailor reported as he entered the ship.
"Very good, prepare to log in. Be mindful of our attitude," Qian Daoliu nodded.
"Yes, Your Grand Worshipper!"
Tang Chen laughed, "We're finally almost there, Old Qian. This island is quite far from Vast Sea City. It took us a full twelve days to get here. Have you really been to this island before?"
Qian Daoliu glanced at it but didn't answer. Tang Chen had been asking him questions nonstop all the way, and he was tired of it.
If they weren't evenly matched and he couldn't drive them away, someone with lower Soul Power would have been thrown into the sea long ago.
Tang Chen said, "What kind of look is that? We're supposed to be good friends, why are you being so cold?"
Qian Daoliu said speechlessly, "I told you to go back a long time ago, but you insisted on coming along. Is it my fault?"
Tang Chen said, "We're already on the ship, how are we going to get back?"
Qian Daoliu said, "I don't care. If you're going to the island later, you'd better behave yourself. They rarely interact with Soul Master from the mainland. If you ruin my marriage proposal, my Angel Holy Sword will definitely chop you down."
Tang Chen crossed his arms in front of him. "I know how to handle this. Don't worry, I won't disturb your good time. But when we get back, you'll have to fight me."
Qian Daoliu his eyes. "So you followed me because you want to fight me!"
"We know each other well, but we only know a few moves, there's nothing new in our fighting, what's the point?"
"Unless you create a new Haotian ultimate technique, have you created a new ultimate technique?"
Tang Chen shrugged and said, "No!"
"But there's no other way. We're the Peerless Douluo on the continent. Fighting others is pointless; I can't go all out. Only by sparring with you can I improve my skills."
Qian Daoliu his head away and didn't reply. He had heard Tang Chen's words no less than ten times.
Tang Chen pointed at Qian Daoliu and said, "See, you didn't answer the difficult question."
Qian Daoliu said speechlessly, "I'll answer you for sure!"
Then Qian Daoliu thought for a moment and added, "How about this, as long as you don't cause me trouble once we get to the island, I'll agree to another fight, a fight that lasts three days and three nights."
Now that they'd arrived at Sea God Island, Qian Daoliu knew it was impossible to get Tang Chen to leave.
For now, the only thing to do is to keep Tang Chen from causing trouble, so Qian Daoliu loosened his grip.
Tang Chen's eyes lit up. "Alright, it's a deal. Let's fight for three days and three nights. Old Qian, don't even think about holding back. We'll fight until both of us are Soul Power."
"If you dare to hold back, I'll beat you to death!"
Qian Daoliu said, "Facing a Clear Sky Douluo like you, who would dare to hold back!"
Tang Chen smiled.
Bang!
The ship jolted and came to a stop, docking at the beach of Sea God Island.
The Pufferfish immediately ran up to report, "Grand Worshipper, we've reached the shore!"
Qian Daoliu nodded. "Let the sailors stay on the ship, everyone else disembark!"
"Yes!"
Qian Daoliu led his team out of the cabin and onto the deck. Looking towards the island, they saw many people waiting ahead.
They were on high alert, their faces serious, and there were no fewer than a thousand of them.
Their complexions were slightly paler than those of people on the mainland, and their clothing also differed somewhat from that of people on the mainland. Most of their clothing was based on blue, and various Sea Soul Beast were embroidered on their clothes.
"Wow... so many people!" Tang Chen laughed, "But their expressions are a bit off; they don't seem to be welcoming you, Old Qian, to propose marriage."
Qian Daoliu did not reply, and jumped from the deck onto the beach.
Worshipper Qianjun and the others immediately jumped down as well.
Finally, Tang Chen also left the deck.
Seven people stood before the group on Sea God Island; they were the elders of Sea God Island who guarded the Seven Sacred Pillars.
Sea Horse spoke up, "Sea Dragon, only nine people have arrived. Are they from the Spirit Hall?"
Sea Dragon said with a solemn expression, "Although there are only five of them, their strength seems unfathomable, especially the first four. Even with my level 95 Soul Power, I couldn't sense their specific Soul Power Level."
"Indeed, the five people behind them are all Titled Douluo!"
Sea Horse exclaimed in surprise, "What?! They're all Titled Douluo!"
Another person spoke up, "If you can't sense it even with your strength, doesn't that mean the four people in front of you are stronger than Sea Dragon!"
"Don't panic," Sea Dragon said in a low voice to the six people behind him, "This is Sea God Island, with Grand Worshipper and the divine power of the Lord Sea God protecting us."
"No matter how strong they are, if they dare to cause trouble on the island, even nine Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to handle it."
After Sea Dragon finished speaking, he stepped forward, and from a distance of several dozen feet, clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "I presume you are all from the Spirit Hall? Sea God Island and the Spirit Hall have never had any dealings."
"What brings you from so far away, Spirit Hall?"
Qian Daoliu stood on the beach, hands behind his back, and said calmly, "I am Qian Daoliu, the Grand Worshipper the Spirit Hall. I have come today to meet the High Priest of Sea God Island."
Sea Dragon frowned, his expression turning serious once more.
He had never heard of the name Qian Daoliu.
But he knew the true value of the title of Grand Worshipper of the Spirit Hall.
After all, the Spirit Hall is the largest Soul Master organization on the continent, and the fact that he can call himself the Grand Worshipper of the Spirit Hall means that his strength is definitely extraordinary.
Sea Dragon calmly said, "The Grand Worshipper and High Priest of the Spirit Hall generally do not receive outsiders. If you have anything to say, please speak to me."
"I will relay your words to the High Priest!"
Qian Daoliu stated directly, "I wish to propose marriage to your High Priest Bo Saixi."
Is that reason enough?
