The colors around Xu Sheng's Sacred Pillar began to fluctuate wildly, jumping continuously between purple, black, and red...
The next moment, these three colors slowly fused together...
After a while, an aura belonging to a God gradually spread, revealing a dazzling golden light from within...
At the same time, the entire sky above Sea God's Island was suddenly covered with dense dark clouds, incessantly emitting flashes of lightning, as countless raindrops started to fall slowly...
Sea Horse Douluo's eyes filled with a few streaks of excited tears, "A miracle, this is a miracle!!"
In his prime, his talent had only allowed him to reach the Black Rank sixth test!!
The highest level test of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar was the Sea God's Nine Quests!!
And this man in front of him, he had actually surpassed the Sea God's Nine Quests!
This meant!! Even the Sea God!!
Held no qualifications to bestow upon him the godhood!!
This man's talent was terrifying to the extreme!!
It was only now that Sea Horse Douluo realized he had never noticed the deep red mark on Xu Sheng's forehead!!!
"Wait... that is... a divine seal!!"
This man, had already inherited another God's power!
However, at this moment, Xu Sheng had no mind to notice him...
Because a mechanical voice sounded in his head, "Destruction God's Test, second trial, assessment successful! Reward, Soul Power increased by one level!"
Following that, the soul power fluctuation on Xu Sheng's body erupted once more with a terrifying force, and his Soul Power broke through from level 97 to level 98!
Despite Xu Sheng's reluctance to believe, doubts began to form in the depths of his heart...
Why did he feel that the God of Destruction's Test was so simple?
It seemed like he was breezing through the divine trials as easily as drinking water, while others struggled in matters of life and death...
However, the next sentence froze Xu Sheng completely, as if he thought he was hallucinating...
...
Royal family of Xingluo Empire!
At this moment, Tang San and the others had found Ma Hongjun, and the group of five hastened to Xingluo Empire from Tiandou Empire.
Ma Hongjun touched his belly and curiously surveyed the goings-on within Xingluo Empire, proclaiming, "Xingluo Empire really is different from Tiandou Empire!"
Ning Rongrong's face glowed as she stared at the neighboring shops, "Yes! There are so many things I've never seen before!"
Oscar smiled and said, "How about, after we find Mubai and them, we have them take us around to have some fun?"
Tang San sighed, "I wonder how Mubai and Zhu Qing are doing? I heard that the struggles within the Xingluo Empire's royal household are far more severe than those in Tiandou Empire"
Xiaowu smiled beside him, "Don't worry, Mubai and Zhu Qing are members of the Shrek squad"
Tang San nodded, "Let's go, for now, let's head to the royal household of Xingluo Empire, Mubai and Zhu Qing should be together"
...
Tang San politely addressed the Guard watching over the gates of the Xingluo Empire's royal household, speaking softly, "Excuse me, please inform Prince Dai Mubai of Xingluo Empire"
The Guard furrowed his brows and asked, "Who are the five of you?"
Xiaowu blinked her eyes, "We are friends of Mubai, coming specially to see him!"
Ma Hongjun nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right, we're here to find Big Brother Dai!"
Upon hearing they were friends of Dai Mubai, the Guard pondered and said, "I see, please wait a moment, I'll go inside and inform him"
Dai Mubai had basically secured his position as the Crown Prince of Xingluo Empire! And it was only a matter of time before he would succeed the position of the Xingluo Empire's Emperor.
Since these five were friends of the Prince, they naturally had to be treated well!
Tang San gratefully returned the words, "Thank you!"
...
"Report to Your Highness the Second Prince, there are five people outside requesting an audience with you,"
Seated and discussing, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing heard the voice and stopped their conversation...
Dai Mubai, somewhat impatiently, said, "Who is it? Tell them to leave! I don't know them!"
Zhu Zhuqing straightened her chest and asked with a puzzled face, "You mean, there are five people outside seeking an audience with Mubai?"
The reporting Guard nodded, "Yes! They claim to be friends of His Highness the Second Prince!"
Zhu Zhuqing turned to Dai Mubai, curious, "Mubai, could it be Brother Three and the others?"
The moment Dai Mubai heard this, he came to a sudden realization, "Five people? That's very possible! Quickly, have them come in,"
"Yes, Your Highness the Second Prince!" The Guard responded and hurriedly jogged out...
Before long, five familiar figures appeared in front of them...
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing quickly stood up, joyfully looking towards Tang San and the others who walked in...
Oscar was the first to speak, his tone dripping with sourness, "Big Brother Dai, you're not being honest! Enjoying sweet love with Zhu Qing here! Have you forgotten about all of us?"
Ma Hongjun hastened to nod, "Exactly, exactly! This time, if Big Brother Dai doesn't treat us to a good tour of the Xingluo Empire, it would be a letdown of your status as the Second Prince!"
Dai Mubai smiled and said, "Xiaosan, Ning Rongrong... everyone's here."
Ning Rongrong's gaze fixated on Zhu Zhuqing's chest, speaking with traces of grief and indignation on her face, "Zhu Qing, it hasn't been that long since we last saw each other, and you... you..."
Zhu Zhuqing blushed and then, with a dashing smile, teased, "Ning Rongrong, if you let Oscar give you a massage, perhaps you'd develop quicker too."
Oscar's eyes sparked upon hearing this...
However, as soon as Ning Rongrong heard Zhu Zhuqing lump her together with Oscar, her face immediately chilled...
If it weren't for the fact that the Shrek Members generally moved as one, she would never have agreed to let Oscar come along!
Seeing the atmosphere turn awkward, Dai Mubai hurriedly intervened, "Don't just stand there, everyone, please have a seat!"
Once everyone was seated, Dai Mubai turned to Tang San with a smile and asked, "Xiaosan, what happened to your face? If it weren't for the soul power fluctuation..."
Tang San shook his head, his expression serious, "Big Brother Dai, let's leave that explanation for later. Right now, I have something important to tell you and Zhu Qing!"
The faces of the other Shrek Members also grew solemn, and Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing listened attentively, knowing their response would determine if all seven could travel together...
Seeing Tang San's grave expression, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, then nodded slowly, seriously looking at Tang San, "Xiaosan, go ahead, what is it?"
...
After Tang San's explanation, both Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's expressions turned grave...
Dai Mubai, deep in thought, muttered, "So that's how it is! But Zhu Qing and I have just secured our positions... It might be difficult..."
Fearing they might feel pressured, Tang San reassured with a light chuckle, "It's okay, Big Brother Dai, if it really doesn't work out, we won't say more."
Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing, seeking her opinion, "Zhu Qing, what do you think?"
Glimpsing the expectant look in Tang San and the others' eyes, Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, a determined glint passing through her eyes, "I want to go! Even if it means losing the position of Crown Princess Consort of the Xingluo Empire!"
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's answer, Tang San and the others' faces showed a flicker of joy...
Dai Mubai's gaze focused intently on Zhu Zhuqing...
This was the position he and Zhu Qing had only just managed to secure with great difficulty...
After a moment of silence, Dai Mubai let out a sigh...
Tang San and the others waited anxiously for Dai Mubai's response...
Finally, he looked at them with a wry smile...
"As the leader, I can't just leave you all behind, can I?"
Ma Hongjun arched an eyebrow, his voice filled with excitement, "Oh yeah! I knew it, Big Brother Dai would definitely agree!"
Tang San's face revealed a relieved expression, reminding, "Then we should not delay. Mubai, you and Zhu Qing should quickly sort out the affairs of the Tiandou Empire!"
"We plan to set out tomorrow!"
