Chapter 97 The Way to Reduce Your Own Suffering—Let Your Brother Suffer
"Huh? Is it in such a hurry?" Seahorse Douluo was taken aback upon hearing this. "Aren't you going to rest for a bit?"
Seahorse Douluo activated the Seahorse Sacred Pillar several times in a row, and was shocked several times in a row. He felt that his mind was a little tired.
And this is the first day these children have been on Poseidon Island!
With so many things happening right now, instead of taking a break, you're preparing to continue with the first Sea God Trial!
Even a titled Douluo would get tired!
Ye Ming had gone to great lengths to motivate everyone and get them to speed things up; how could he let the Sea God Douluo easily dampen their spirits?
According to the original storyline, it would have taken Tang San and his group about four years to complete the Seagod Island trial!
He can't afford to waste so much time on this!
As long as I get the benefits, I don't care how much benefit Dai Mubai and the others can get.
"Senior! No need to say anything more! We're pressed for time, please take me there!"
After saying this, Ye Ming looked at Tang San and the others, "Third Brother, Xiao Wu hasn't been resurrected yet, and Uncle and the others haven't been resurrected either. Can we enjoy life in peace?"
"Brother Dai, Sister Zhu Qing, as far as I know, the Spirit Hall also possesses divine inheritance. If a god-level expert were to emerge from the Spirit Hall, what do you think would become of the Star Luo Empire?"
"Sister Rongrong, Brother Ao, have you forgotten that Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo are still waiting for you to return and avenge the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
He finally looked at Ma Hongjun, who had changed clothes and climbed out of the sea, and shouted, "Fatty, do you want to be at the bottom of the class forever? Do you want to be looked down upon by Cousin Chenxiang forever?"
His hurried words instantly brought tears to the eyes of the Shrek Seven Devils.
After hearing these words, everyone fell silent for a moment, then, with reddened eyes, they said in unison, "Senior Seahorse, please lead us to the place of the first assessment!"
Upon hearing these words, Seahorse Douluo fell silent instantly.
At that moment, he seemed to suddenly understand why these children were so talented and worked so hard. It turned out that they were all carrying immense expectations and immense hatred.
"Your first trials, except for the one involving the girl named Bai Chenxiang, are all related to the Sea God's Light at the foot of Sea God Mountain," Seahorse Douluo sighed. "In that case, I'll take you there!"
Everyone nodded and followed Seahorse Douluo as they headed towards the foot of Seagod Mountain.
Halfway there, Bai Chenxiang suddenly called out, "Fatty, come with me for a second."
After saying this, she suddenly turned and walked into the woods nearby.
Ma Hongjun looked at everyone with some doubt, scratched his head, and followed Bai Chenxiang inside.
Oscar and Dai Mubai exchanged a glance and chuckled when they saw this.
Seahorse Douluo also had a strange look on his face.
After an incense stick had burned, Bai Chenxiang came out again, and the yellow light on her forehead had disappeared.
Her aura fluctuated noticeably, indicating that she had increased her soul power by one level.
Behind her, Ma Hongjun walked out with a flushed face and a silly grin.
"Oh my~"
Dai Mubai and Oscar exclaimed, "You fatso, what's with that expression?!"
"Hahaha! Could it be that you were...?"
Ma Hongjun covered his face and ran frantically forward.
Bai Chenxiang, however, remained calm and followed behind the group.
Seahorse Douluo smiled slightly, not revealing the truth, and led everyone towards Seagod Mountain.
Mount Poseidon is located at the very center of the entire Poseidon Island, surrounded by a ring of sea. At the top of Mount Poseidon is the core building of the entire Poseidon Island, the Temple of Poseidon.
An hour later, it was already afternoon. Led by Seahorse Douluo, the group passed through a dense forest and finally arrived at the foot of Poseidon Mountain.
The sight before them left everyone stunned.
Before your eyes, the shimmering sea reflects countless colorful lights, and nestled in the embrace of the sea, a small island sits right in the center of this circular body of water.
The island is about 500 meters high and is shrouded in a faint golden light. This golden light does not come from sunlight, but rather from the island's own natural radiance.
At the top of the island stands a building that resembles a piece of white jade, which is the core of Poseidon Island: the Temple of Poseidon.
Seahorse Douluo looked up at the Sea God Temple with reverence in his eyes and slowly said, "Sea God Island is a temple dedicated to the Sea God. Only the guardians of Sea God Island who have passed the Purple-level assessment or above are qualified to set foot in the Sea God Temple to worship."
"There are 1,001 steps in front of you; that is where you will be tested."
"If you wish to try, you may go now. I will wait for you here. But please do not make any noise on Mount Poseidon, lest you disturb the Sea God."
Following the direction indicated by Seahorse Douluo, everyone looked and sure enough, from the front of the Sea God Temple, stone steps extended downwards, reflecting a jade-like luster under the sunlight, like a jade belt draped over Sea God Mountain.
Just as everyone was about to depart, Seahorse Douluo spoke again: "Distinguished guests, as long as you retreat quickly from the divine mountain during the trials, you will not be harmed. The Light of the Sea God is the only relatively safe trial among your future trials, so you need not be too hesitant."
Tang San smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. However, you don't need to wait for us here. We don't know how long this attempt will last, but we have brought our own provisions."
Seahorse Douluo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"If you need anything, please feel free to have the Soul Master guarding this place notify me."
After saying that, Seahorse Douluo stepped into the air and flew away.
After Seahorse Douluo left, everyone looked at the opposite side of the ring sea with increasingly fervent eyes.
Lightning wings appeared behind Ye Ming, and he flew towards the opposite side first. Tang San, holding Xiao Wu, also rushed towards the ring-shaped sea, using the flight skill attached to his Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
This time, unlike the trial they faced against Seahorse Douluo in the Sea Within the Sea, things were much easier once they reached Seagod Mountain. Those who could fly flew, and those who couldn't used the flying mushroom sausages created by Oscar's soul skill to get there.
Only Bai Chenxiang, having already completed the assessment, remained where she was, watching them from afar.
After everyone arrived at the foot of Poseidon Mountain, Dai Mubai spoke first: "My first test is to traverse the Light of Poseidon."
"You need to climb the first 108 steps of the Sea God Mountain to pass the test. You can quit halfway, and the time limit is one year."
"And you?"
Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun all spoke up, explaining that their assessment criteria were the same.
Only Ning Rongrong looked distressed. "I thought I was the same as you, but it turns out I'm different. I need to climb 136 steps."
"This is probably the difference between top-level assessment and black-level assessment."
Upon hearing this, Tang San, with his calm demeanor, looked at everyone with a hint of envy.
He couldn't help but smile wryly, "My first test is to traverse, double the experience, and use the Light of the Sea God. I need to climb the first 333 steps of the forbidden area, with a time limit of one year."
Ma Hongjun was taken aback. "Wasn't it supposed to be double? How come your number of steps is almost three times ours?"
Oscar looked at Xiao Wu in Tang San's arms and pondered, "He probably added Xiao Wu's share to Tang San's bill as well!"
"Hey bro, what about yours? Same as the mistress's?"
Ye Ming checked the information in his mind, his expression turning somewhat strange.
"My first test is to traverse four times the speed of the Light of the Sea God, which requires climbing 1,001 steps within one month."
"hiss!!"
Everyone gasped, their eyes filled with pity as they looked at Ye Ming.
Oscar walked over, patted Ye Ming on the shoulder, and said with a serious face, "As expected, the strong are treated differently!"
"Brother, I believe in you, you can do it!"
Although he looked serious, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
This wasn't gloating; rather, it was a form of recognition for Ye Ming.
In their minds, they didn't think this test could stump Ye Ming.
Tang San, who had been wearing a long face, lost all his worries upon hearing Ye Ming's words.
What is the best way to alleviate one's own pain?
Of course, it's because I see my best friend is with me, and he's even more miserable than I am!
Helpless, Ye Ming tapped the door lightly. "Brother Dai, Third Brother, shall we try out this Sea God's Light first?"
The stairs are right in front of us. If the three of us try together, we'll get a more accurate answer.
The three of them set off at the same time, rushing towards the steps.
Dai Mubai and Tang San charged forward at top speed, trying to cover their tracks with their speed, while Ye Ming walked slowly to the steps and began to climb them step by step.
"Bang! Bang!"
When Dai Mubai and Tang San collided with the Sea God's Light in front of the steps, they were directly bounced back by the light and sent flying.
Ye Ming, on the other hand, calmly continued walking up the steps.
"What happened?" the others asked, crowding around.
"The moment it hit, it felt like hitting a wall!" Dai Mubai looked at Ye Ming's figure above and said slowly, "It seems that the area ahead is within the range of the Sea God's Light!"
"call out!"
At this moment, a blue silver vine emerged from Tang San's hand and struck the Sea God's Light.
The next moment, the Blue Silver Emperor Vine rebounded back at Tang San.
Tang San had anticipated this, and another vine shot out, neutralizing the attack from the rebounding vine.
He watched Ye Ming retreat from above and pondered, "It seems that one cannot use skills while climbing the stairs, otherwise one will suffer a backlash."
At this moment, Ye Ming, who had stepped back, added, "Attack skills cannot be used, but amplification and defensive skills can still be used!"
"The light of Poseidon on the steps creates immense pressure; every step forward is incredibly difficult!"
"Even the fifth step alone requires a level 30 Soul Master to exert all their strength to barely complete!"
Upon hearing Ye Ming's words, everyone's expressions became somewhat solemn.
Ma Hongjun said with even more distress, "It seems we'll just have to slowly grind it out here!"
"Before we adapt to this kind of pressure, I'm afraid we can forget about completing this first assessment quickly."
slow?
Ye Ming raised an eyebrow; he was in a hurry! How could he be slow!
Although the Light of the Sea God can temper oneself, he can take his time with this, but Tang San and the others who have a one-year time limit cannot!
As for the reduced effects and fewer gains that Tang San and his companions received from their training?
What's it to him!
Ye Ming raised an eyebrow. "Our time is of the essence! We can't afford to be slow!"
"Don't worry! I have a way to help you pass this first test quickly!"
