A day later, Tang San successfully hunted down an 80,000-year-old Orca King and arrived at the Fifth Trial of the Sea God.
The Fifth Trial of the Sea God is to challenge the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, and must be completed within three days. The strongest of the Seven Sacred Pillars, the Sea Dragon Douluo, is none other than Super Douluo.
Two days later, Tang San defeated six Sacred Pillar in succession, including Sea Horse, Sea Ghost, and Sea Girl. Their strength was only around level 93. Even though Tang San was not at his peak, he still possessed Twin Martial Souls, and one of them was the Martial Soul Clear Sky Hammer, so winning was not too difficult.
The Sea God Hall, in a certain square
Sea Dragon looked at him expressionlessly. "I really didn't expect you to be able to defeat Sea Horse and the others. It seems you have some strength."
Tang San's gloomy face sneered, "You're no match for me either, you'd better surrender now!"
Seeing himself being slighted, Sea Dragon Douluo roared in anger, "Whether you are a match or not can only be determined through battle. As the guardian Sacred Pillar of the Sea God Inheritance, the word 'surrender' does not exist!"
" First Soul Skill, Dragon Might Shakes the Sea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue phantom of Sea Dragon appeared behind him, its scales vibrating and emitting terrifying Soul Power.
Tang San sneered, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer and smashing it down hard, directly blocking most of the Sea Dragon Douluo's attack. "With these skills, how did you become the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars?!"
"You're courting death!" Sea Dragon Douluo instantly flew into a rage, unleashing his Martial Soul Avatar, a blue Sea Dragon over a hundred meters long.
"Today, I will surely defeat you!"
Tang San's face contorted with rage as he roared with laughter, "Now that's getting interesting! Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The man and the dragon clashed head-on, producing a series of fierce collision sounds, and neither gained the upper hand.
" Eighth Soul Skill, Dragon Transformation Illusory Sea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying surge of seawater erupted around the blue Sea Dragon, rushing towards Tang San and attempting to bury him alive.
Tang San's pupils contracted, and he roared repeatedly, " Great Sumeru Hammer!"
Boom boom boom...
The two powerful energies clashed head-on and then annihilated each other, but Tang San's power was clearly greater.
A few breaths later, Sea Dragon Douluo was knocked back several feet, his face slightly pale. Before he could catch his breath, Tang San had already attacked him with his hammer.
"Go to hell!"
Sea Dragon Douluo's pupils contracted; he had no time to defend himself.
outside the palace
Tang Chen's face changed drastically, and he shouted, " Xiao San, stop!"
But Tang San was clearly out of control at this point, completely ignoring his ancestor and swinging the Clear Sky Hammer toward the head of the Sea Dragon Douluo.
Just then, a purple Soul Power appeared, directly blocking Tang San's attack, and that peculiar Soul Power even seeped into Tang San's body.
Soon, Tang San's eyes regained their clarity, and the darkness in his heart and the side effects of the Yellow Springs Dew were forcefully suppressed.
"Your examinee, please be mindful of your actions." A clear, melodious voice echoed in the hall, pleasing to the ear.
Tang Chen quickly explained, "High Priest, Xiao San's parents were killed by enemies, so she is somewhat mentally unstable. Please don't blame her."
"..."
After a few breaths, the atmosphere became quiet. Bo Saixi ignored them and the Sea Dragon Douluo stared at them with a gloomy expression.
A moment later, Sea Horse Douluo coldly looked at them. "Continue. The Sixth Trial concerns his Twin Martial Souls; he must absorb all the Soul Ring."
Tang San gave the two a cold look, then turned and left. At this time, although his First Martial Soul had absorbed nine Soul Ring, his Second Martial Soul only had six, and he still needed to hunt three Soul Beast.
The Sixth Trial of the Sea God must be passed on his own, so Tang Chen cannot help him hunt Soul Beast.
One day later...
Tang San successfully hunted three Soul Beast, but encountered some trouble during the absorption process. Fortunately, the Soul Beast he hunted were not very old, otherwise the energy generated by the two Martial Soul would have caused him to explode and die.
Inside the Sea God Hall
Tang Chen saw Bo Saixi again and pleaded, " Saixi, I'm begging you, please give Xiao San one chance. Whether he can receive the inheritance is up to fate."
Bo Saixi, holding her scepter, said expressionlessly, " Tang Chen, I have dedicated my life to the Sea God Inheritance and have never had any personal feelings. You... count as one of them!"
"I owe myself, and I owe you. Now that you've asked, I'll agree. It's not because I still have feelings for you. For over a hundred years, I've never left Sea God Island. I've dedicated over a hundred years to the Sea God Inheritance. This time, I want to settle my personal regrets."
"That's settled then. Let Tang San continue with the subsequent Divine Trials, but from today onwards, there will be no further connection between us!"
Tang Chen's lips twitched violently, and he gave a bitter laugh, " Saixi..."
"Call me High Priest!" Bo Saixi glanced at him coldly.
"Yes, High Priest!" Tang Chen felt extremely bitter. In the past hundred years, he had only ever loved this woman, but unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, they could not be together. Now, for the sake of the future of the Clear Sky Sect, he had even severed ties with Bo Saixi.
A few breaths later, outside the Sea God's Palace
Upon seeing Tang Chen emerge, Tang San hurriedly went to greet him, "Grandpa, how did it go? Am I qualified to continue participating in the Divine Trial?"
Tang Chen nodded with a complicated expression. "Okay, go ahead."
"Yes!" Tang San was overjoyed and quickly headed towards the Sea God's Palace, because he already knew roughly what the three tests were about to come.
The Seventh Trial of the Sea God: endure for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn in the hands of the High Priest of Sea God Island; the Sea God Eighth Trial: hunt down the Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King; the Ninth Trial of the Sea God: pull out the Sea God Trident and receive the Sea God Inheritance.
Of the three trials that followed, the most difficult were hunting the Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and the Ninth Trial, because the Sea God Trident was a legendary artifact, weighing 8,000 jin (4,000 kg) for 100,000 years. If one did not gain the artifact's recognition, even Peerless Douluo would not be able to pull out the trident.
A few breaths later, Sea God Hall
Bo Saixi gazed at the gloomy young man before her with a complex expression, and said without any emotion, "This test will be in my hands for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Are you ready?"
A strange light flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he quickly said, "High Priest, I am now my great-grandfather's only descendant. I hope the High Priest will take care of me."
Tang Chen had already revealed all of Bo Saixi's strength and Soul Skill to him, so he knew very well that he was no match for Bo Saixi. The reason he said this was so that Bo Saixi would remember Tang Chen's past relationship and show mercy.
A flicker of disgust flashed in Bo Saixi's pale purple eyes as she coldly said, "Letting you participate in the subsequent assessments is already a violation; don't even think about anything else!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San's lips twitched slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself: You bitch, once I receive the Sea God Inheritance, I will definitely strip you naked and let you taste my power!
