Chapter 171: Surprised Poseidon (10,000 votes per day~)
"Su Cheng, can you really feel the guidance of the Sea God?"
Just when the Sea God Island market was over and Su Cheng was about to return, a soft and pleasant voice came from the coast.
He turned his head and saw a girl lying on the stone platform on the shore, smiling at him.
The girl was very beautiful, but ordinary people would never pay attention to her appearance at first glance, but her lower body.
What grew there was not a pair of legs like a normal person, but a huge fish tail, slender and charming, with a graceful curve extending all the way to the waist. The upper body was wearing a black shirt, and even the navel was not covered.
Su Cheng knew her.
Lorelai, the granddaughter of the mermaid clan leader and the daughter of the current Sea Girl Douluo, was undergoing the fourth black level test. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be the next Sea Girl Douluo of Sea God Island in the future.
At this time, her fish tail was gently slapping the sea surface on the shore.
Her big blue eyes were as clear and flawless as the sky of Poseidon Island, and her beauty was no less than her mother's.
But their temperaments were completely different.
Compared with the softness and depth of the current Sea Girl Douluo, she seemed much more lively, with a faint smile always hanging at the corner of her mouth.
Her fish tail kept slapping the water surface, and she seemed to be having fun, and she often made a beautiful laugh like a silver bell, which made it impossible for people to have any hostility towards her.
Although Lorelai is now a Soul Douluo, she is not old, and her mental age is even younger.
From a human perspective, she is only in her early teens.
According to the words of the mermaid clan leader, she is a genius that the mermaid clan has seen once in a thousand years, and is destined to be the guardian of the Holy Pillar.
This evaluation is not an exaggeration.
The life span of the mermaid clan is much longer than that of humans, but their spirituality is far inferior to that of humans, but their cultivation method is similar to that of humans.
Being able to cultivate to such a state at this age, it is not impossible to reach the level of Extreme Douluo in her lifetime.
However, although she still has a childlike innocence, Lorelai is extremely intelligent, because she has a unique talent, mind reading, which can help her feel the thoughts of others.
Unless the other party's mental power is equal to or higher than hers, her success rate of using mind reading is extremely high.
Lorelai has always been curious about Su Cheng.
As a child brought by Bo Saixi himself, and has been living in the City Lord's Mansion, she, the biological daughter of the Sea Girl Douluo, naturally has a lot of contact with him.
But what makes Lorelai most curious is that she can't see through Su Cheng's thoughts.
It is precisely because of this that she always wants to try to explore Su Cheng's heart.
Su Cheng doesn't care about this.
Lorelai's ideas are very different from those of traditional sea soul masters.
She doesn't have such exaggerated awe and faith in the Sea God.
Su Cheng doesn't know what caused her to have this kind of mentality.
Maybe it's because of talent, or because of the unique ability of mind reading.
But in any case, the unique temperament of this sea witch made Su Cheng very happy to communicate with her.
As for the other party's innate ability not being effective on him, this is a matter of course.
Su Cheng's mental power is indeed not high.
He has just started practicing now, and there is no foundation before the martial soul awakens.
But he has the sword intention in his body, and the level of the meaning is extremely high.
The sword intention follows the body and has nothing to do with other factors. Even if there is no cultivation, it will not affect the existence of this strong will.
Su Cheng still remembers the accident that happened after the first simulation.
When he returned to reality, he was almost pierced through the sea of consciousness by the sword intention he brought with him. If it were not for the task reward, he would probably have died on the spot.
Of course, similar situations will not occur in the simulation.
The simulator will restrain his sword intention fluctuations, and it is impossible for him to be killed by his own strong will as soon as he is born.
Su Cheng looked at Lorelai, and a smile appeared on his face, "Don't shake your big tail, come ashore first."
On this island full of fanatics, Lorelai is one of the few people who can make him feel close.
"Oh."
Lorelai did not resist when she heard it, and her long fish tail was lifted from the sea and landed on the shore.
The next moment, the fish tail turned into real legs, and a black long skirt directly covered it.
She curled her lips, and a trace of worry appeared on her face, "I went to the Sea Maiden Holy Pillar to see it. It's so boring there. I don't like that kind of monotonous life. I wish I could give up the mission."
Speaking of this, Lorelai's eyes suddenly lit up, "Su Cheng, didn't you say that you can sense the will of the Sea God? Then can you help me give up the Black Level 4 Exam?"
Su Cheng sneered, "I think you shouldn't ask me this, but go to your mother."
The current Sea Maiden Douluo has not much time left, and Lorelai is destined to take over the power of the Sea Maiden Holy Pillar in the future, whether she is willing or not.
"What about you? What do you say?" Lorelai narrowed her eyes, a trace of suspicion on her face, "Didn't you say that you could feel the will of Lord Poseidon? Then you're not going to say anything about my wanting to give up the mission?"
"Lord Poseidon only saves and guides those who need to be saved." Su Cheng said lightly, "You are obviously not among them."
Lorelai thought about it and found that she seemed unable to refute it, so she snorted and stopped trying.
"Lorelai, do you know how many people envy you?" Su Cheng walked up to her and whispered, "In the black-level assessment, the price of failure is life."
When he said this, his eyes were slightly dark, with a deep meaning.
"Mr. Starfish's life is about to come to an end. Do you know what it means when the next Starfish Douluo is determined?"
"..."
Lorelai frowned when she heard this, but did not speak.
Just as Su Cheng said just now.
In the black-level assessment, there are only two options: success and death, and there is no third way to go.
There are only seven positions in the Seven Saint Pillars, and there have been no extra options since ancient times.
When all seven Saint Pillar Douluos return to their positions, it is self-evident what the results of the others will be.
"Actually, I'm a little surprised." Su Cheng said thoughtfully, "With the kindness of Lord Poseidon, he would never want his people to die in such a worthless way in the test. What's more, who is not a gifted soul master who can pass the black level assessment? Why do you think this situation happened? Is it because we have misunderstood the Seven Sacred Pillars?"
Lorelai did not react to what Su Cheng meant by this, but laughed: "I thought you knew everything, Lord 'God's Envoy'."
"How is it possible." Su Cheng also laughed, "Lord Poseidon is omniscient and omnipotent, I just borrowed a little bit of his divine power. Maybe in the future, as my understanding of Poseidon's doctrine deepens, I will know more about the connotation, but now I am still far away. I have just started to study Poseidon's doctrine."
"Okay, okay, you start your weird theory again." Lorelai waved her hand impatiently.
Then he asked, "When are you going to tell your mother about your promotion to a soul master? Didn't the high priest say that he would accept you as his disciple?"
"Those things don't matter. The most important thing is to be able to better understand the spirit of the Sea God. As for the improvement of cultivation, it is just a tool and is not important to me. The same is true for whether I can be accepted as a disciple by the high priest."
At this point, Su Cheng suddenly looked at the other party and smiled, "Do you think life is boring? I have something that may interest you."
"What is it?" Lorelai raised her eyebrows.
She didn't think Su Cheng could have any good suggestions. In her opinion, the two of them were not thinking on the same channel at all.
But the fact that the other party was immune to her mind reading always made her curious.
Although Su Cheng always said that this was due to the blessing of the Sea God, she didn't believe it.
"How about coming with me to improve the Sea God's doctrine?"
"This kind of thing is not interesting at all." Lorelai was disappointed when he heard it.
As expected, it was in line with this guy's usual style.
But she didn't refuse immediately.
"To be honest, although your proposal is boring, you are an interesting person, so I can consider it."
Lorelai tapped her red lips with her slender fingers and said slowly: "But if the process does not satisfy me, don't blame me for giving up halfway."
Su Cheng smiled, looked at her and whispered: "Don't worry, this matter must be much more interesting than you think."
Soon, another three months passed.
During this period, more and more people came to the Sea God Island Market to listen to Su Cheng's speech.
The catalyst for all this came from Li Qing.
After Li Qing absorbed the first soul ring, his martial soul did improve to a great extent.
Although ordinary people cannot tell the specific grade, the speed of cultivation improvement cannot be deceived.
On Douluo Star, whether on the mainland or in the sea, the way of cultivation is the same.
That is, through meditation, the soul master spontaneously absorbs the free ownerless soul power in the air.
This way of cultivation has led to the fact that the cultivation of soul masters is almost only affected by one factor, that is, martial soul talent.
Those with high talent have fast absorption speed and can accommodate more ownerless soul power for refining every day.
Those with low talent, no matter how hard they practice every day, cannot accommodate more soul power.
Li Qing's practice speed is now no weaker than those soul masters with innate soul power above level 4.
Compared with the practice talent that has only been promoted to soul master for more than four years, his qualifications have improved by more than one level. According to this situation, there may even be hope for soul sect.
In the past, it can be said that Su Cheng's soul power improvement speed that is not restricted by talent is because of the favor of the sea god.
But now, it is obviously no longer his own business.
Many people really regard him as a "god's messenger".
Although these things are not circulated among the high-level people of the Sea God Island for the time being, he has become famous in the surrounding seas, especially among those low-level soul masters.
"Do you know how vast and vast the area of the ocean is?
"The so-called continents and islands, all added together, are less than half of the sea area. And these lands are also created by the Lord of the Sea God, in order to make our people who believe in the Sea God live a better life.
"Wherever the light reaches, all living beings are the people of the Sea God..."
Su Cheng's voice echoed in the market.
Everyone was listening carefully.
The eyes were pious and the faces were solemn.
Su Cheng's words were like sunshine, clearing away the haze in their hearts, making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable.
No one among them asked a question about the improvement of martial spirit.
On the one hand, Su Cheng has emphasized that he is only spreading the glory of the Sea God and guiding the believers. The improvement of soul power is only a way to believe in the Sea God, and we should not lose sight of the main point.
On the other hand, whenever Su Cheng spreads the teachings of the Sea God, they will always unconsciously forget those irrelevant things and the various difficulties brought about by their own strength.
Everyone standing here is like a family. Regardless of strength, there is no distinction between noble and humble.
Everyone is equal and is a loyal believer of the Sea God.
The only difference between them is the piety of their faith.
As for who is more pious, of course, it is up to the God's messenger to make the judgment...
Su Cheng's daily actions have not been obstructed.
Compared to the mainland, the living environment of the Sea God Island is much more comfortable.
Not just the climate factor.
The ability to change the climate does not require divine power, and many soul masters can do it, but the scope is not so large.
The most special thing is the residents here.
There is the blessing of the Sea God, the protection of the High Priest Poseidon, and no need to worry about external enemies. There are also seven Holy Pillar Douluo controlling the Seven Holy Pillars and Seven Holy Cities.
The future of everyone is also determined in advance. As long as they wait until they are eighteen years old and pass the test, their future status will be determined.
In this way, there is naturally not much competition between these people. Even the battles take place at sea and only occur when the sea soul beasts are expelled.
This also leads to the fact that most sea soul masters are shallow-minded, or not too cunning, and are relatively simple.
Su Cheng grew up on Sea God Island since he was a child. In the minds of the natives here, as long as he has not been eliminated by the test, he is a member of Sea God Island and they trust him very much.
Although his martial soul is inherited from his father, this kind of martial soul is not special. There are also many soul masters on Sea God Island who have weapon martial souls.
What's more, in the eyes of everyone, Su Cheng will definitely pass the test in the future.
The Sea God warriors on Sea God Island have also maintained an attitude of welcoming his actions in recent days.
Although the residents of Seagod Island who fail the eighteen-year-old test will be driven away from Seagod Island, this does not mean that the sea soul masters outside Seagod Island will be resisted and discriminated against.
In fact, the sea soul masters only have some strange attitudes towards the mainland soul masters, and have no prejudice against others.
There has been no incident of the Spirit Hall attacking Seagod Island yet, so even for the land soul masters, they only have some estrangement, not hostility.
The difference in attitude is more derived from the Seagod test.
Because if the land soul master wants to go to the island, the test he goes through is much more stringent than that of the residents of Seagod Island, and each test must be completed within one year.
This seems to represent the attitude of the Seagod, and the sea soul masters will naturally comply.
Two days later, a big thing happened on Seagod Island.
The current Sea Star Douluo died.
He did not die in battle.
In fact, so far, because of the existence of the Seven Saint Pillars, almost no Saint Pillar Douluo has died in battle.
Sea Star Douluo died naturally at the end of his life.
With his death, the other six Saint Pillar Douluo all gathered in front of the Starfish statue in Starfish City to mourn for him.
At this time, a red light in the distance slowly enlarged, and the entire space seemed to be slightly distorted.
The next moment, there was already one more person in front of the statue.
Bo Saixi, the High Priest of Sea God Island who lived on Sea God Mountain for many years, also appeared today.
She was still wearing a red dress, and her appearance was radiant.
There was a trace of sadness in her azure eyes, and her beautiful face was heavy and solemn.
Titled Douluo has a long life span. The last time a Saint Pillar Douluo died was more than 50 years ago, when she was not yet the High Priest of Sea God Island.
So strictly speaking, this was her first time to say goodbye to an old friend she had known for a long time.
"Meet the High Priest."
The other Saint Pillar Douluo bowed to Bo Saixi when they saw him coming.
"Greetings, High Priest."
Not only the Holy Pillar Douluo, but also thousands of Sea God Island residents gathered in the Sea Star City at this time, standing in silence.
Not far ahead, stood the tall starfish statue.
The statue rose straight up in a pentagonal shape, and there was a huge starfish lying on the top. It was dotted with star-shaped magic patterns, as if condensed from the light of the stars and the moon in the sky.
Bo Saixi looked at the several Holy Pillar Douluo beside him, nodded slightly, and nodded to the many Sea God Island residents below, and then prepared to speak.
At this moment, she suddenly paused, and a very obvious surprise flashed in her eyes.
She noticed the child in the front position of the crowd in the direction of the Sea Girl City residents.
The child who was predicted by her to be unable to achieve anything in his life and could not break through the 30th level of cultivation.
At this time, his cultivation level has been raised to the 15th level!
In the original novel, Ama Douluo has no name, and the other holy pillars call her "Sea Witch", but this is obviously not her real name, so I looked it up and replaced it with the name of the Sea Witch in the Douluo game.
