Chapter 105 Return to the Mainland
When Zhou Yu regained consciousness, he felt weak and sore all over.
The interior of the Temple of Poseidon was no longer the gloomy scene he had first encountered. On the dome, delicate pale gold patterns spread freely, and although the light was soft and not dazzling, it was enough to gently illuminate every corner of the entire hall.
"Get up if you're awake."
Poseidon's voice echoed all around.
Zhou Yu sat up and saw that Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo, was sitting not far in front of him.
Between them lay the trident of Poseidon, which had nearly killed him; its massive, twelve-foot-long shaft still exuded a strong sense of weight.
Poseidon smiled and said to him, "Congratulations, Zhou Yu. You have passed the seventh trial of the Sea God, and you have begun to truly gain the Sea God's approval."
Zhou Yu sighed, "Senior, I know that I gained the approval of the Nine Trials of the Sea God and the Trident of the Sea God because of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. I presume you know this as well. But why didn't you take it from me before?"
Poseidon gently shook her head and said, "You are the one chosen by the Sea God. How could anyone else take your place? I am powerless to take away the Heart of the Sea God from your body; it chose you on its own. This is not just luck, but because you meet the Sea God's requirements, a fact that no one can change."
Zhou Yu knew that the Heart of the Sea God was the true name of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
Poseidon continued, "Your soul power has reached level ninety. Once you collect all six soul bones, you will be able to complete the eighth trial of the Sea God."
"..."
Zhou Yu couldn't help but let out a wry smile: "Senior, for the eighth trial of the Sea God, is it necessary to add the spirit ring of the second martial soul to the ninth one?"
"You possess twin martial souls?"
Upon hearing this, Poseidon's expression changed slightly, and a look of disbelief and astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Yu nodded and replied, "Yes!"
Poseidon straightened up and asked in surprise, "Only I, as the High Priest, know the requirements and contents of the Nine Trials of the Sea God. How...how did you know?"
Seeing the other person stand up, Zhou Yu also stood up and replied with a serious expression, "Didn't you say that I am the one chosen by the Sea God!"
Since Zhou Yu didn't want to answer, Poseidon didn't press him any further.
However, she finally believed that perhaps Zhou Yu really had a way to achieve the best of both worlds and complete the ninth trial of the Sea God without her having to sacrifice herself.
……
Soon, the group arrived at the beach.
At the same time, Xiao Bai appeared in everyone's sight with more than ten Demon Soul Great White Sharks.
A flash of gray-blue light, and Little White transformed into human form and walked onto the beach.
Although they had seen her in human form many times, Dai Mubai and Oscar still couldn't help but swallow hard when they saw her slender and graceful figure.
Moreover, after being blessed by the inheritor of the Sea God, Xiao Bai seemed to have become even more beautiful and charming, gaining an indescribable femininity.
As soon as Xiao Bai stepped ashore, he eagerly asked, "Lord Zhou Yu, were the strange phenomena in the sky a few days ago related to you?"
Zhou Yu nodded and replied, "Xiao Bai, we came here to say goodbye. I have completed the seventh test, and everyone else has completed their respective tests. We are about to leave this place."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Bai's gaze turned fervent, and he knelt on one knee: "Greetings, my lord. Congratulations on obtaining the Trident of Poseidon."
Zhou Yu quickly stepped forward to help the other person up, saying, "Xiao Bai, don't be like this. We've already considered you a friend."
Xiao Bai said firmly, "It's different. To us marine creatures, the Sea God is supreme. You are his successor, the future ruler of the ocean. Although you haven't passed the Sea God's Nine Trials yet, I believe you will succeed. Then you will be the supreme ruler of the ocean, and naturally, my master as well."
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "Since I am your master, I hereby order you not to bow to me from now on. Is that acceptable?"
"Since you have spoken so eloquently, then I, Xiaobai, will obey. Hehe."
Little White blinked its big eyes and continued, "Since you're leaving, I'll give you a ride. We're familiar with waterways, and going by sea will save us a lot of time."
Upon hearing this, everyone readily accepted the invitation and mounted the backs of the Little White Clan members. This wasn't their first time riding a shark, and with the speed of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, the return journey was naturally greatly shortened.
Finally, at Xiaobai's insistence, Zhou Yu had no choice but to ride on her back again.
"Lord Zhou Yu, when... will you return to Seagod Island?"
Xiao Bai deliberately slowed down, creating some distance between herself and Tang San and the others ahead, before asking in a sweet voice.
Zhou Yu could naturally hear the endless anticipation in her voice.
"Little Bai, you missed me so quickly?"
Upon hearing this, a blush crept onto Xiaobai's fair cheeks.
"Lord Zhou Yu..."
The 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark possesses a special ability: it can freely switch between human form and soul beast form.
At this moment, Xiaobai couldn't help but transform into human form.
Zhou Yu remained riding on her back, and this sudden change immediately excited him.
"noob……"
He called out softly, then reached forward with both hands and grabbed the full breasts of the Demon Soul Great White Shark.
For Xiaobai, being able to have an in-depth conversation with the Sea God in the ocean was a great honor.
……
During this trip to Poseidon Island, everyone's soul power has broken through to level 80 or above.
Zhou Yu completed the seventh test, and his soul power reached level ninety-five.
Tang San, on the other hand, reached level 85.
Dai Mubai followed closely behind, reaching level 83.
Ning Rongrong completed the final, top-level seventh trial, which rewarded her with three levels of soul power, allowing her to reach level eighty-three with the help of a divinely bestowed soul ring.
Moreover, by using the divinely bestowed soul ring, she finally broke through the 100,000-year limit and obtained her first 100,000-year soul ring.
Even Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, who are at the lowest level, are at level 81.
Zhou Yu and the others set foot on the mainland again. Before Xiao Bai left, they checked their location using the sea chart before bidding her farewell.
Xiao Bai told Zhou Yu that when they were ready to return to Poseidon Island, they only needed to release the light of the Poseidon Trident here, and she would sense it and come to pick them up within three days.
"Lord Zhou Yu..."
As she departed, she looked back three times from the sea before leading her people to speed away, gradually disappearing where the water met the sky.
Zhou Yu claimed he had something to take care of, bid farewell to everyone, and left alone.
Dai Mubai walked up to Tang San and asked, "Little San, where are you going?"
Tang San replied, "I'll go back to Heaven Dou City first, since I've been away for so long. But I won't stay in Heaven Dou City for too long. I need to find suitable soul beasts to hunt and obtain soul rings. I need to add the soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer so that my soul power can increase rapidly and I can break through to the Title Douluo level as soon as possible."
Dai Mubai said, "In that case, you might as well not delay any longer and go hunt soul beasts directly. With your current strength, you won't be afraid even if you encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast. We'll go back to Heaven Dou City and wait for you. I wonder how things are there over there."
And so, the Shrek Five Monsters split into three groups and set off on their own.
