Arrogant? Am I Arrogant?

"I never imagined that those outsiders could withstand Lord Bo Saixi's attacks; it's truly unbelievable..."

"Yes... I could feel that surging, intertwined power from afar that day. But don't call him an outsider again... except for that blue-haired guy... um... I think his name is Tang San. He's the one who will inherit the Sea God Godhood in the future, so watch your words..."

"Yeah... thank goodness they weren't here, or I'd be done for..."

Yu Tianshuang walked towards the location of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. Along the way, the Soul Master of Sea God Island were discussing Tang San and his group. From Xiao Bai and other hearsay, it could be deduced that the Sea God Island trial was basically the same as the Ice God Trial in the Far North —both were based on aptitude and talent, granting different levels of assessment to the examinees. And Tang San... like Senior Sister Bing'er, was also a successor to Godhood...

"I wonder how Senior Sister Bing'er and Yue'er are doing. Bing'er must have become much stronger. I wonder if we'll have a chance to meet again..."

Thinking of Shui Bing'er's increasingly domineering and arrogant gaze, Yu Tianshuang couldn't help but shudder. Since entering Skywater Academy at the age of 6, she had always been suppressed by this proud and domineering senior sister. Over the years, she seemed to have really gotten used to it. Hmm... habit is a terrible thing. No, she had to find a way to change!

"But as for Yue'er, sigh... she clearly has such great talent. Even Huo Wu has already broken through to the Titled Douluo level. I wonder what Yue'er's strength is now. But she will inherit the position of High Priestess of the Ice and Snow Divine Hall in the future, so I suppose she should be able to reach the level 99 Limit Douluo strength, just like Bo Saixi..."

Yu Tianshuang was lost in thought as she got closer and closer to the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. Thinking of Shui Yue'er's adorable appearance, she couldn't help but smile. Anyway, she would always protect her, even if she gave up, it didn't matter.

"Outsider, stop! This is not a place for you!"

Yu Tianshuang raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. There was a person, well... how should I put it, who looked very much like Sea Soul Master, sitting cross-legged under the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, with his eyes closed, speaking to him.

"Greetings, esteemed Lord of Seahorse City, one of the Seven Sacred Pillars, guardian of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. I am Soul Master from the land, and I aspire to become the next Sacred Pillar Guardian."

Sea Horse Douluo kept his eyes closed as he listened to Yu Tianshuang's respectful words. He understood the purpose of this outsider Soul Master just from the first half of her sentence. He was wondering why a Titled Douluo had suddenly appeared when there hadn't been any new assessments recently and he hadn't received any Black Level Assessment to challenge him. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized what Yu Tianshuang meant by her respectful words.

"Young man, you've uttered the most unexpected words with the calmest of statements. Are you implying that you want to challenge me?"

Since he had no assessment materials on him, and his calm words implied that he wanted to become the new guardian of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar Guardian, then this person's intention was clear: to defeat him.

"Revered guardian of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar Guardian, you may have misunderstood my words..."

Yu Tianshuang paused, and Sea Horse Douluo was also puzzled. That's right, what kind of outsider would dare to challenge his status Sacred Pillar Guardian, especially since this person's strength was only at the initial stage of the Titled Douluo realm?

"It's alright, you..."

Before Sea Horse Douluo could finish speaking, Yu Tianshuang interrupted him, "It's not about becoming the guardian of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, it's about Sacred Pillar Guardian. And as far as I know, there are seven Sacred Pillar Guardian, right?"

"Truly, truly, arrogant!"

At this moment, Sea Horse Douluo finally opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at the incredibly young man in blue opposite him. Seeing the man's calm expression but eyes filled with confidence and disdain, even the best-tempered Seahorse Douluo couldn't hold back anymore.

"Oh... is it starting? No, you probably didn't understand what I meant. Judging from your posture, are you planning to fight me one-on-one? Forget it, I bet you're only level 94 at most. I can wait here for you to gather the other six Sacred Pillar Guardian..."

Seeing that she had provoked him, Yu Tianshuang directly revealed his Martial Soul and those nine Soul Ring, and helplessly spread her hands, trying to persuade him with good intentions.

"Level 94? Young man, I must admit, even Tang San, who is about to inherit the Lord Sea God's Godhood, isn't at that level yet. But you're taking your prized talent far too seriously!"

After speaking, Sea Horse Douluo threw a punch at Yu Tianshuang from a distance. Although the deep blue water attribute fist shadow was just a simple normal attack, the power of the punch, which plowed a furrow in the ground along its path, showed that Sea Horse Douluo was very strong!

"To say such a thing without the corresponding strength is arrogant, but..."

Faced with this powerful punch, Yu Tianshuang stood still, not even glancing at it, and continued to speak calmly.

"If I have the power to say these words, then I... am simply stating the facts."

As the fist Sea Horse Douluo approached within three meters of Yu Tianshuang, it suddenly transformed into a block of ice, shattered, and fell to the ground. The young man opposite him, whom he considered incredibly arrogant, hadn't even revealed his Martial Soul.

"Hiss..."

Sea Horse Douluo understood that although he hadn't used any Soul Skill, this seemingly casual punch was already his full-force attack. He wouldn't be surprised if the young man opposite him used some defensive Soul Skill to block it, but the fact that he neutralized it without even revealing his Martial Soul made him realize that perhaps... this young man's strength truly lived up to what he had just said.

Fifth Soul Skill: Raging Sea Surging Wave Fist!

Even so, he couldn't just contact the other Sacred Pillar Guardian like that. He hadn't even used the power of the Sacred Pillar yet, and a simple clash wouldn't prove anything.

"Ugh... why do you have to waste time like this? You're so stubborn..."

Yu Tianshuang's current plan is that if Bo Saixi is drawn to his battle, that would be ideal, allowing him to have a proper talk with her. Regardless of the outcome, even if a battle is inevitable, it's better than directly attacking the Sea God Hall. Or, if Bo Saixi ignores him, he can use his identity after defeating the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians to meet her. In any case, he needs to talk to her first. Maybe Bo Saixi will be grateful that he helped her kill her annoying admirer and agree to the relationship.

Thinking this to herself, Yu Tianshuang simply watched the Sea Horse Douluo leap into the air and unleash this Soul Skill at her. She shook her head helplessly, not wanting to waste any more time with him. She made a fist with her right hand and casually condensed an ice-blue longsword. She then gently swung the sword at the fist shadow that was about to attack her in the air.
