"If you are here to take the test, go to the Holy Pillar; otherwise, please leave Seagod Island."
Hao Yun smiled and turned to ask.
Do you know Qian Daoliu?
Poseidon's gaze was as calm as the ocean as she looked at Hao Yun.
"It seems you know him. I killed him, and I also killed a Rakshasa God while I was at it. I just don't know how strong you are, you sea god?"
The Seahorse Douluo under the Seahorse Sacred Pillar could no longer stand it. He activated his Soul Rings, and his powerful Title Douluo aura spread out.
"I advise you to sit down obediently, otherwise no one will care if you die."
Hao Yun glanced coldly at Seahorse Douluo, then stopped paying attention to him. He was just a Title Douluo; Hao Yun had killed countless others like him.
Poseidon raised her hand to stop him; if a fight broke out, Seahorse Douluo would surely die.
What exactly do you want?
Sensing the faint anger and annoyance in the other person's tone, Hao Yun shrugged.
"I originally came here just to take the test and had no ill intentions. But the titled Douluos here don't seem to listen to me. On land, when I encounter such disobedient ones, I usually kill them and take their soul bones!"
As the last few words were uttered, Hao Yun was filled with murderous intent, while Poseidon waved her scepter to protect the residents of Poseidon Island behind her.
"Look at this disobedient Douluo, I advise you to kill him and replace him with another one, otherwise you might accidentally offend someone you can't afford to offend, and Seagod Island might disappear."
Hao Yun's punch just now served as a warning to Poseidon: the protection of the sea god is not omnipotent. If the opponent were to fight desperately, he might actually sink part of the sea god's island.
"This is Poseidon Island, not the mainland. We have our own rules. If you're here to take the test, then go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Hao Yun laughed; the other party was admitting defeat.
"What are you seven standing around for? Get on the island!"
The seven onlookers only realized what was happening at this point, and each used their unique abilities to begin landing on the island.
The underwater passage that Hao Yun had created with his punch had already closed while he was talking to Poseidon.
After the seven people arrived on the island, each of them triggered a test.
A few minutes later, the people from Poseidon Island were stunned. What was going on? Where did these people come from? How come they all came up with either the Black Sixth Trial or the Top Seventh Trial?
The most outrageous one was Tang San, who entered the scene wielding a golden trident, causing a sensation that surpassed that of the other six.
Standing next to Hao Yun, Poseidon's calm eyes flickered slightly before returning to their usual composure.
"It's my turn."
With a teleportation, Hao Yun arrived in front of the sacred pillar and placed one hand on it. Golden light flashed again, but unlike Tang San, the golden light triggered by Hao Yun was fleeting.
The light from the pillar fell back to the Black Six Trials. This happened entirely because Hao Yun refused the divine position assessment. He had no interest in the Sea God's position whatsoever; he'd rather leave it to Xiao San.
I came here alone to try and get my soul rings, and the six black trials are just right.
Standing to the side, Seahorse Douluo felt incredibly conflicted. He suddenly realized how fast the world was changing and how he couldn't keep up with the younger generation.
"The assessment has begun. You are now VIPs of Poseidon Island. Before the assessment is completed, any requests you make will be fulfilled by the people on the island."
After saying this, Poseidon turned and left, handing over the task of receiving Hao Yun and his group of eight to the middle-aged man who had led them there.
"Anything is possible! Could I have two pretty girls?"
Hao Yun shouted at the top of his lungs, and Poseidon, who was leaving, trembled and almost lost control of her emotions, turning around and strangling Hao Yun to death.
"We can only meet your reasonable requests."
Upon hearing Poseidon's words, Hao Yun curled his lip. Just now he said he would grant any request, but now he's changed his mind.
The middle-aged man in charge of guiding the eight people began to sweat. He suddenly realized that the task assigned to him by the High Priest was not as simple as he had imagined.
"Dear guests, please follow me."
The man led the group into the island's central city, where he began preparing lunch for them.
"What are your assessment questions? Mine is the Light of the Sea God, which requires me to climb stairs. This assessment looks so easy!"
After hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Hao Yun smiled and thought, "I hope you can still be this relaxed tomorrow."
"Mine too."
After some conversation, the group discovered that they were all on the same mission, just with different numbers of steps to climb.
Seeing that only Hao Yun remained silent, the group of seven turned their attention to him, and Oscar asked curiously.
"Boss, what's your assessment?"
"Unlike yours, I'm going to the beach to collect pebbles."
The group of seven looked at each other. Their test was far too easy, not nearly as terrifying as the middle-aged man had described.
Chapter 81 Heaven-Sent Soul Ring
After a good night's rest and a full meal, the group of seven went off to complete their missions the next day. Upon arriving at their destinations, they burst into tears.
This task is insane; climbing those stairs is practically playing with fire.
There was a gravitational field on the steps, and the gravity increased with each step they took. Only then did they realize that these hundred-plus steps were not as easy to climb as they had imagined.
The seven-person group was exhausted after a morning of work. They ate a quick lunch and then Ma Hongjun suggested they go check on Hao Yun's assessment.
Hao Yun was sunbathing on the beach at that moment, and he looked like he was enjoying it very much.
"Boss~~~"
Seven resentful voices came from behind him, and Hao Yun felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his head and saw the seven people staring at him with black aura and resentment.
"Haha, you're here! How did the assessment go?"
Hao Yun chuckled dryly, stood up, and asked in a serious tone.
"This is bad. We doubt we'll even make it through within a year, boss. If we die, it'll all be your fault."
After Dai Mubai finished speaking, the other six nodded in unison. After all, failing the assessment would mean death, and the seven-person group felt doomed after discovering how difficult the assessment was.
"How could you think like that? You've given up without even trying! How did I teach you? When you encounter difficulties, don't be afraid, you can do it!"
Hao Yun's words left the group of seven speechless. "You make it sound so easy, but we didn't see you climbing the steps."
"Boss, is your assessment difficult?"
Oscar asked the question they most wanted to know: if their test was so difficult, then Hao Yun's test of picking up stones must also have some hidden secrets.
"It's alright."
Hao Yun smiled but didn't tell them that he had already completed his assessment.
His test was simple: just pick up any stone and return it to the Seahorse Pillar, and the task would be completed.
"good?"
Tang San sensed something was amiss in Hao Yun's words.
"Why aren't you going back to climb the steps? What are you doing here! Aren't you afraid of being wiped out if you don't complete the mission? Even a pig could climb up there in a year!"
Under Hao Yun's reprimand, the seven-person team returned to the mission location and began attempting to climb the stairs.
After climbing for three consecutive days, the group of seven discovered the wonders of it. Under this gravitational field, the six of them experienced a faster increase in soul power and a slight improvement in their physical constitution.
While the Shrek Seven were climbing the stairs, Hao Yun found Poseidon.
"I heard that everyone who participates in the assessment will receive a Heavenly Soul Ring upon completion. I've completed the first part of my Black Six Trials, so please give me the Heavenly Soul Ring."
Standing opposite Poseidon, Hao Yun reached out to ask for the Heavenly Gift Soul Ring.
Poseidon stared intently at Hao Yun, eager to know what he was thinking.
The test that Hao Yun triggered earlier was not the Black Sixth Test at all, but the Ninth Test of the Sea God.
"What exactly do you want to gain from coming to Poseidon Island?"
Hearing Poseidon's question, Hao Yun shrugged. He just wanted to use the Seagod Island assessment to obtain some cultivation resources.
The two looked at each other; Poseidon frowned slightly, while Hao Yun looked relaxed.
The two stared at each other for about half a minute, and then Poseidon took out a small, glittering golden bead from his sleeve.
"This is a Heavenly Soul Ring. Everyone who participates in the assessment will receive one. Since you want it, then take it."
Hao Yun took the golden sphere from Poseidon, played with it for a moment, and replied with a smile.
Thanks.
Just as Hao Yun was about to leave, Poseidon spoke up.
"I hope you will not disrupt the peace on the island, otherwise I will drive you out even if it costs me my life."
Hao Yun continued walking without slowing down, raising his hand and waving.
"Don't worry, as long as you complete your task as agreed, I won't cause any trouble."
After leaving Poseidon's palace, Hao Yun found a secluded spot and crushed the Heavenly Gift Soul Ring.
According to the island's explanation, this divinely bestowed spirit ring can automatically adjust its lifespan based on each person's physique and the duration of their practice.
Hao Yun, who had used the Heavenly Gift Soul Ring, discovered that these people were talking nonsense; the maximum lifespan of this Heavenly Gift Soul Ring was 100,000 years.
A dozen minutes later, Hao Yun opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Trash! I thought I could get a million-year spirit ring to play with."
When the sixth spirit ring appeared, Hao Yun experienced its skills.
The sixth spirit ring, "Heaven and Earth Collapse," involves leaping up and landing, creating a shockwave within a hundred-meter radius around the person. Contact with the shockwave will cause dizziness and inflict significant damage.
Although his skills weren't great, the addition of a spirit ring granted Hao Yun a large amount of energy, which he used to temper his physical body.
The seventh level of the Great Heavenly Dragon has already made a small breakthrough.
"It's a pity I can only get one Heavenly Soul Ring. Oh well, I'll go complete the next mission first."
Hao Yun's six tests were all simpler than the last; the first task was to collect pebbles, and the second was to collect seashells.
Strolling to the beach, Hao Yun casually picked up a seashell, returned it to the Seahorse Pillar, and the mission was complete.
