Joining Forces?

"Sea Horse Douluo is not here. I will let you know as soon as he returns."

"He's not here! Alright then, I'll go back and wait for him. If Sea Horse Douluo returns, please let me know as soon as possible."

"OK."

With Sea Horse Douluo absent, Wang Feng had no choice but to return to his residence.

He didn't waste a single moment, nor did he try to research the Sea God Affinity on his own; instead, he immediately began cultivating.

For him now, cultivation is the top priority; the Sea God's Nine Trials are only second.

Currently, the situation in the Douluo Continent is basically divided into two major forces: one is the Spirit Hall, and the other, although not yet fully formed, will inevitably revolve around Tang San in the future. Wang Feng is absolutely confident in his judgment on this point.

For Wang Feng, what worries him most is that Tang San is very likely to be a time traveler like him.

After all, Tang Sect Hidden Weapons don't belong to the Douluo Continent; he had verified this.

Therefore, the possibility that Tang San is a time traveler is almost 100%, which is exactly what he was worried about. Under such circumstances, Tang San's future achievements will naturally not be low, even if Tang San and his master both have Twin Martial Souls.

However, with the added advantage of being a time traveler, Tang San's achievements would definitely surpass those of his master.

Therefore, he always had to stay ahead of Tang San and dared not slack off in the slightest.

Before the Sea Horse Sacred Soul Pillar, Sea Horse Douluo was staring coldly at several Soul Masters.

After a long silence, Sea Horse Douluo finally spoke, "Speak! What do you want?"

"Respected Sea Horse Douluo, please allow me to introduce myself..."

"I'm not interested in who you are, just get to the point!"

Sea Horse Douluo interrupted the man, saying impatiently.

The man's expression changed, and the others around him tensed up as well. The man didn't dare say anything more and went straight to the point.

"Respected Sea Horse Douluo, we intend to make a deal with you. This is your territory, and we would like to ask you to help us kill someone named Wang Feng. Whatever price you require, we are willing to pay."

"Heh! You guys have some nerve, actually trying to take advantage of me. You're really not afraid of death!"

"Sea Horse Douluo, that Wang Feng is not a good person. Given his personality, if he is allowed to grow up, he may be a threat to Sea God Island in the future!"

"Snort!"

Sea Horse Douluo snorted coldly and directly blasted the group away.

"Sea Horse Douluo, we..."

"Roll!"

Sea Horse Douluo let out a cold shout, directly blasting the group away, and then he disappeared from the spot.

Although their High Priest of Sea God Island gave them orders not to let Wang Feng pass the Sea God's Nine Trials, they had not yet ordered them to kill Wang Feng.

Moreover, if it weren't for the High Priest's order, they genuinely hoped that a genius Soul Master like Wang Feng could pass the test; they were truly looking forward to Wang Feng's future.

Unfortunately, Wang Feng was destined not to succeed.

In Wang Feng's residence, Wang Feng, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, immediately exited his cultivation state, got up and walked outside.

He had just received a telepathic message from Sea Horse Douluo, and with these questions in mind, Wang Feng went to Sea Horse Douluo's island.

Inside the Sea Horse Douluo's room, Wang Feng got straight to the point.

"Senior, I'd like to ask you, what is this Sea God Affinity? What is its purpose? Why can't I feel any use for it?"

"Wang Feng, do you know the significance of the Sea God's Nine Trials?"

Sea Horse Douluo did not immediately answer Wang Feng's question, but instead asked a question in return.

Wang Feng pondered for a moment. Although he had an answer in mind, he wasn't entirely sure. He shook his head and said, "Could it be that the Sea God's Nine Trials are different from the other trials?"

"Of course it's different. Over the past few hundred years, countless Soul Masters have come to Sea God Island from the Douluo Continent Soul Master, and even more have participated in the trials, but before you, no one has ever passed the Sea God's Nine Trials."

"You mean I'm the first person to pass the Sea God's Nine Trials!"

Wang Feng was somewhat surprised.

"That's right, you're the first to pass the Sea God's Nine Trials. This is not only a recognition of your talent and strength, but also an honor, but unfortunately..."

Sea Horse Douluo shook his head, leaving the rest of his words unsaid.

"Senior, what do you mean?"

"The Sea God's Nine Trials are so difficult that even we Titled Douluo might perish, let alone you. Passing the Sea God's Nine Trials is simply too difficult."

"Senior, what exactly do the Sea God's Nine Trials signify?"

Wang Feng asked somewhat anxiously. He could tell that Sea Horse Douluo wasn't exaggerating at all; on the contrary, he seemed to feel a little reluctant. This made Wang Feng even more eager to know the answer.

"To become a god."

Sea Horse Douluo looked at Wang Feng and softly uttered two words.

"Just as I thought!"

Wang Feng was secretly delighted. It seemed that this was exactly what he had thought, but he still needed to show surprise on the surface.

"What! Become a god! But it's already incredibly difficult for Soul Master to cultivate to the level of Titled Douluo at Level 90. Even if they are exceptionally talented and achieve the Titled Douluo, every level after that is fraught with difficulties. This guy can break through to the Level 100 and become a god just by passing the Sea God's Nine Trials!"

Wang Feng looked at Sea Horse Douluo with a questioning expression. Of course, this was not an act; he was also eager to know the true principle behind this so-called godhood.

However, Sea Horse Douluo shook his head and did not continue to answer Wang Feng's questions. Instead, he said, "Wang Feng, you have good talent. Work hard, and I hope you can successfully pass all the tests and complete the Sea God's Nine Trials."

"Thank you for your recognition, senior. I will certainly not let you down."

"That's good. As for the Sea God Affinity, don't worry about it too much. Your Sea God Affinity will increase with each test you pass. As for what the Sea God Affinity is all about, you'll understand when the time comes."

"I understand."

Seeing that Sea Horse Douluo didn't want to say more, Wang Feng didn't press further, as long as it didn't affect his cultivation.

The two chatted for a while longer before Wang Feng left Sea Horse Douluo's island and returned to his own residence.

Because of the Sea God's Nine Trials, it was very quiet here, and no one would disturb him, allowing him to cultivate in complete peace of mind.

This time, Wang Feng did not rush to the Third Trial, but instead maintained a state of cultivation. Only after his strength level increased by one level did Wang Feng open his eyes from cultivation.

He originally wanted to advance to the next realm directly, but he found that although his cultivation progress was fast, his body's demand for Soul Power was also huge, so he could not advance for a while and had to take the Third Trial first.

I just don't know if this Third Trial will allow me to further improve my strength and break through to the next level.

He didn't know what the situation was like at the Spirit Hall. Although the Spirit Hall was still a behemoth in the Douluo Continent when he left, he had vaguely sensed the hidden crisis Spirit Hall since the end of the Soul Master Tournament.

But with his current strength, all he can do is improve his abilities as quickly as possible and return to his teacher's side.
