I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 165: The Sea God's Test

As Qin Xiao's voice fell, everyone turned their heads to look.

Indeed.

A white shadow, like water spirits, was approaching the Long Yuan Ding at an extremely fast speed.
No.

More precisely, they were rushing towards the Long Yuan Ding.

"Oh no, they're going to attack us. Those bloodthirsty mouths, I won't even be enough for one of them to eat."

Ning Rongrong's face turned pale instantly.

In her subconscious mind, she could already see the scene of being devoured by the demonic soul Great White Sharks.

With her petite size, she estimated that she wouldn't even be enough to get stuck in the teeth of a demonic soul Great White Shark.

Of course.

It wasn't just her, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and others were all on high alert.

But after experiencing the bloody killings in the City of Slaughter, they no longer feared death.

"No need to be so nervous. With their speed, it's impossible for them to catch up with us."

Just then, Qin Xiao's voice rang out.

And his voice, to everyone, was like finding the backbone, immediately dissipating the tense atmosphere.

"Hold on tight."

Qin Xiao's voice sounded again.

Everyone didn't even think about what Qin Xiao meant, subconsciously grabbing the armrests and seats in front of them.

Boom!

The next moment, with the infusion of Qin Xiao's thunderous power, the Long Yuan Ding, which was already extremely fast, surged in speed once again.

Like an arrow leaving the string, it shot out.

Leaving behind a trail of shadows in the water.

"As long as we're fast enough, they won't catch up with us."

Ning Rongrong exclaimed excitedly, her eyes involuntarily looking at Qin Xiao, only to find Qin Xiao looking somewhat strange.

"Qin Xiao, what's wrong?"

Ning Rongrong tilted her head, asking in confusion.

"My lord, could it be that because you exerted too much force just now, it aggravated your old injury?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern.

Meng Yiran's face also showed signs of nervousness.

"No."

Qin Xiao shook his head, "I'm fine, my body is in good condition. It's just that this Long Yuan Ding may not be able to withstand the full force output of a Title Douluo-level soul power. I'm afraid it will be damaged after this journey."

In fact, if it were just the soul power of a Title Douluo, it wouldn't matter. It's just that Qin Xiao's soul power also contained the power of thunder, which was too violent. It was because of this that the Long Yuan Ding couldn't bear it.

"That's it."

"I thought something was wrong with you."

Ning Rongrong waved her hand indifferently, "If the Long Yuan Ding is damaged, then so be it. As long as we can escape, we can always buy another one later."

Ning Rongrong said, crossing her legs. Ten thousand gold soul coins were nothing compared to her black card with all those zeros.

Qin Xiao smiled at her words and said no more, fully controlling the Long Yuan Ding to rush towards Sea God Island, leaving the demonic soul Great White Shark group far behind.

It was unknown how long had passed.

Perhaps an hour, or maybe two hours.

The people on the Long Yuan Ding only felt a bright light in front of them, and they were back on the sea surface.

The glaring light made everyone either close their eyes or block it with their hands.

"Everyone, we've arrived."

Qin Xiao's voice sounded, and everyone realized that Sea God Island was already in front of them.

The next moment, the Long Yuan Ding, like flying on the sea surface, rushed towards Sea God Island at an extremely fast speed, finally grounding itself on the beach.

"All right, we've successfully passed through the blockade of the demonic soul Great White Sharks and arrived at Sea God Island."

After jumping off the Long Yuan Ding, Ning Rongrong danced with excitement.

The others also looked around curiously.

Looking around, Sea God Island was actually all green, as far as the eye could see, it seemed endless. It made people feel that this was not an island, but land.

The air was filled with not the fishy smell of the sea, but a fresh, moist, and refreshing scent.

Under the sunlight, the beach was white and delicate, like small crystals emitting silver light. The sky was blue, pure, and transparent.

"So beautiful, truly a paradise left by the gods in the mortal world. Even on the mainland, there are few places that can match the scenery here."

Dugu Yan couldn't help but admire.

"If there's no hatred in my heart, even if you let me stay here for the rest of my life, I'd be willing."

Meng Yiran's expression also seemed a bit trance-like.

Here, her soul felt purified, incredibly tranquil and peaceful.

"If you're willing in the future, of course, you can stay here," Qin Xiao said with a slight smile, but soon the smile faded.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Among the women, Zhu Zhuqing was the calmest. She had been vigilantly observing everything around her, while also paying attention to the changes in everyone's expressions. Qin Xiao's expression, without concealment, was noticed by her the moment something seemed amiss.

This stemmed from an inherent vigilance. In unfamiliar environments, she always felt a sense of unease.

"We've caused such a big commotion, someone is coming," Qin Xiao said.

"Someone's coming!?" Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, Ning Rongrong, and the others changed their expressions and immediately became alert.

Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing stood beside Qin Xiao, while Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan stood behind the group.

This was normal; after all, these two were not soul masters known for their offensive capabilities.

"Rustle, rustle."

At the same time, the grass and trees in the distance swayed, and several figures rushed out, numbering seven or eight in total, lining up and blocking the way.

These people had different appearances, but they shared a common feature—their clothing. They wore attire similar to armor, pale yellow in color. The oldest among them was around forty years old, while the youngest was in their teens.

Qin Xiao saw this and realized immediately that these people were the soul masters of Sea God Island.

He also knew that the soul masters on Sea God Island were classified by the color of their clothes. However, this was not based on soul power level but rather the difficulty they faced during the Sea God's test. The higher the difficulty passed, the higher their status on Sea God Island, and the color of their clothes varied accordingly.

However.

Before either side could say anything else, Qin Xiao frowned.

This time, a hint of seriousness appeared on his face. His gaze fell on a black shadow approaching from the distant horizon.

"That is..."

Soon, not only Qin Xiao but also Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran noticed the figure. Their hearts tensed once more.

They were worldly-wise individuals and knew the identity of the newcomer.

Flying in mid-air, a Title Douluo!

Surprisingly, this was a powerhouse of the same level as Qin Xiao.

Soon, the black shadow arrived in front of them, hovering in the air and looking down on everyone. The pressure of his powerful soul power, even though it was not released, was palpable.

Even the several soul masters of Sea God Island who had appeared earlier knelt down one after another, loudly calling out, "Greetings, Protector!"

In contrast, the black-robed figure didn't even bother to respond, not even sparing a glance at those soul masters.

He asked coldly, "Who are you people?"

Qin Xiao replied calmly, "We are people who wish to set foot on the Sea God Island in front of us."

"You're quite audacious," the black-robed figure sneered. "I see that you are soul masters from the mainland who have drifted over to Sea God Island. You must have endured a lot of hardships to come here. However, you should go back. Sea God Island is not a place where ordinary people can enter, especially for mainland soul masters. It's even more difficult for them to enter Sea God Island. If you don't want to die, leave. It's good to be courageous, but if it's just recklessness, it will cost you your life."

Qin Xiao remained silent, instead looking around.

Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran walked up to Qin Xiao one after another.

"What are you doing, trying to use your charms?" the black-robed figure couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He had thought that Qin Xiao wanted to enter Sea God Island and was trying to use some special means to enter through the back door.

However, the next moment, the black-robed figure realized that he was wrong, as he sensed the surging soul power from both girls.

"Huh, their cultivation, at least above Rank 45?" After sensing Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran's true cultivation bases, his voice held a hint of surprise.

It should be noted that both girls appeared very young.

Especially Zhu Zhuqing, who was a few years younger than Meng Yiran. But to achieve the rank of Soul Ancestor at such a young age, there was no one on Sea God Island with such talent, not even the slightly older girl.

Even now, the black-robed figure recalled his own youth. At the age of thirteen, he was still lingering at the threshold of becoming a Soul Douluo, right? These two girls were not ordinary geniuses. If they could join Sea God Island, they would undoubtedly benefit the island greatly in the future. If they could pass the Sea God's test, they had a ninety percent chance of becoming Title Douluo-level powerhouses.

In just an instant, the black-robed figure thought of many things.

His thoughts were not as firm as before.

After all, even though Sea God Island had the blessing of the Sea God, it would not reject two young people with the potential to become Title Douluo.

"Cough, cough."

The black-robed figure cleared his throat and casually lowered the black cloak on his head, revealing a thin face. "Let me introduce myself. I am the Guardian of Seahorse Pillar. Now, I'll ask you again, do you really want to set foot on Sea God Island and become a member of Sea God Island?"

Upon hearing his words, Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran did not answer. In their hearts, Qin Xiao's words represented their will.

Frankly speaking, even if they could immediately become Title Douluo by stepping onto Sea God Island, if Qin Xiao disagreed, they would turn and leave without hesitation, not taking a single step onto Sea God Island.

Rustle, rustle.

At this moment, Qin Xiao walked to the front of the group again. Because the scene was too quiet, the sound of his footsteps on the sand, as he walked across the beach, was clearly audible, spreading through the sand.

He nodded. "Yes, we still want to set foot on Sea God Island."

"I must remind you that if you want to join Sea God Island, you must pass the test left by the Sea God. Once you accept the test, there is no possibility of backing out halfway. Even if it costs you your life."

The Sea Horse Douluo said, glancing at Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, "Although your cultivation levels are decent, the Sea God's test is not directly related to cultivation level. It could be as simple as picking up a handful of sand or as difficult as challenging a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Have you really thought it through?"

"Let's begin," Qin Xiao answered with three words, his attitude unquestionable.

"Basketball, you follow me."

The Sea Horse Douluo said, slowly descending from the air to the ground.

Then, after saying, "You all can leave," to the sea soul masters guarding Sea God Island, he took the lead and walked forward.

Qin Xiao and the others silently followed.

But in the eyes of everyone, there was curiosity and anticipation.

After a long time, they arrived at the center of Sea God Island.

Surprisingly, what lay ahead of them was a pond.

What was even more peculiar was that the small pond was far from calm. It surged like the sea, without any wind.

Around the pond was dense forest, with a diameter of about five hundred meters. In the center of the pond was a triangular platform, upon which stood a strange pillar.

The pillar was shaped like a cone, with a peculiar sculpture carved at the top. Countless complex patterns were engraved on the entire pillar. They seemed to be a type of text, emitting an invisible and strange energy.

"This should be the Holy Pillar of Sea God on Sea God Island, possessing the divine power of the Sea God!" Qin Xiao looked at everything before him, his eyes shining.

After arriving here, the Thunder Emperor Martial Soul that had been dormant for a long time became active again.

Of course, it didn't give him too much thought, just two words: Want to eat.

"Wait a moment. If you give it some effort and trigger the Nine Trials of the Sea God, the divine power of the Sea God will definitely fill you up." Qin Xiao didn't care whether the Thunder Emperor Martial Soul could understand him or not. Anyway, he was muttering to himself in his mind.

Of course, this was not a lie. After all, the Asura God's power was only left behind by the Asura God. But the divine power of the Sea God was different. The Sea God was still alive and cared a lot for his inheritors.

Although Qin Xiao had no interest in inheriting the godhood, he coveted the divine power of the Sea God. He often contacted the Sea God to try to get some divine power for himself. Wasn't that too much?

In any case, let's feed the Thunder Emperor Martial Soul first.

"Welcome to the Sea within the Sea, Seahorse Pillar."

The Sea Horse Douluo spoke with a tone of ups and downs. "Seahorse Pillar is one of the seven pillars of Sea God Island. The Sea God has bestowed divine power upon the seven pillars to spread the will of the gods. Any of the pillars can test foreign soul masters. Here, you will receive the test questions of the Sea God. Are you ready?"

After he finished speaking, no one answered.

He looked at the people beside him and found them all looking eagerly at him.

It seemed as if they were saying, hurry up. We're all in a hurry.

"Alright, I'm being verbose."

The Sea Horse Douluo muttered helplessly, then flew up and landed in front of Seahorse Pillar.

He looked at everyone and said loudly, "Come on, only those who pass through the Sea within the Sea and arrive at Seahorse Pillar are qualified to formally accept the test of the Sea God. If you can't even pass through the Sea within the Sea, you might as well leave now."
