After the voice of surprise died down, slow and derisive jeers started to echo…
A man laughed loudly, "This guy actually wants to book an entire ship? What a joke! That would cost at least ten thousand golden soul coins!"
An older man with a weather-worn face shook his head, "Eh, who would have thought, this young fellow looks so handsome, yet has such a grand appetite! To book a ship? In all these years, this is the first I've heard of it!"
The woman beside him spoke indignantly, "If you're not buying, then step aside quickly, don't waste everyone's time here, not everyone's in the mood to play with you!"
"Stop kidding around! If you're just making up excuses because you don't have the money for the fare, would you like me to lend you some?"
The middle-aged man also thought that Xu Sheng found the fare too expensive and couldn't afford that many golden soul coins, coming up with an excuse…
So, he tried to save Xu Sheng's dignity with an awkward smile, "That... young man, what you're asking for in chartering the ship is a bit unrealistic! So many people are waiting to board, don't you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng's eyes instantly turned sharp, and he slowly looked toward the surrounding passengers as the Killing God Field and oppressive aura were released simultaneously…
The sky around them was completely dyed a bloody red by the tangible murderous intent, and an even more terrifying and wild pressure spread out…
The people in front of Xu Sheng had their eyes widened in shock as they all fell to their knees on the ground, trying to speak but finding it completely impossible!!
Xu Sheng spoke again in a cold voice, "I said, I want to book this ship! Do you have any objections?"
His icy words rose to the ears of every passenger…
Booking the entire ship was merely for the safety of these people…
Heading to Sea God's Island was the first test of his divine trial! It was highly probable that due to some reason, this enormous ship could meet with disaster…
The middle-aged man in front of Xu Sheng swallowed hard, not daring to speak, with a fearful look toward the scarlet sky…
Just how strong was this man to make even the sky turn in fear at his power?
A Soul Douluo, who had been observing Xu Sheng from the back, rushed over as soon as he felt an oppressive force far more powerful than his own...
Afterward, with a respectful face, he greeted Xu Sheng with a fist-and-palm salute, "Esteemed sir!"
The middle-aged man's gaze widened in shock upon seeing the Soul Douluo he most admired acting thus, and he thought to himself in astonishment, "What? Even a Soul Douluo shows such respect to this man, could he be…"
This man, is a Titled Douluo!!
How could this be possible??
Although I have no Soul Power, I know that Titled Douluos on the Continent are extremely rare! An ordinary person might not even get a chance to see a Titled Douluo from a distance in their entire lifetime!!
However, the reality was right in front of him, leaving no room for disbelief!
Xu Sheng glanced at the Soul Douluo Warrior, speaking in an indifferent tone, "I wish to charter this ship, any problems?"
That one look made him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cellar, sending a shiver through his whole body…
With a flattering expression, he said, "No problem, no problem at all, it's an honor for you, a Titled Douluo, to ride on our ship. We won't charge you a single coin!"
Hearing what the Soul Douluo Warrior said, those below who had looked down on Xu Sheng moments ago drew a sharp breath…
How foolish had they just been? To actually provoke a Titled Douluo?
The man could very well kill them all on the spot for disrespect and still leave the scene with a smile!
In an instant, the entire scene fell silent with not a single person daring to breathe loudly…
Xu Sheng took out a card with golden soul coins from his storage soul tool, which Bi Bidong had given him beforehand, and casually tossed it to the Soul Douluo Warrior…
Then, he strode past them both, calmly heading toward the gigantic ship spanning five levels in the front…
"There's no need to refuse payment; just set sail as soon as possible," he said.
The middle-aged man snapped out of his daze and smiled, "Yes! I will arrange for departure immediately for you!"
After Xu Sheng left, the Soul Douluo dared to lower his head to look at the card in his hand…
When he saw the patterns and coloring on it, his pupils suddenly constricted…
…
Before long, a group of people carried an array of luxurious foods and beverages up to the fifth level of the ship…
Xu Sheng slightly opened his eyes that had been tightly shut, and his gaze revealed a touch of surprise as he looked over…
The leading steward approached Xu Sheng and said with a fawning smile, "My lord! These are the beverages and food prepared for you! Also, we will be able to depart in five minutes."
Xu Sheng glanced at the rich assortment of food and drink being brought up by a group of people behind him and nodded indifferently, "Hmm, I appreciate the effort!"
The steward instructed the several strong men carrying the items, "Just set them down here!"
"Yes!"
With those words, they quickly placed the food and drinks around Xu Sheng…
The steward smiled, "Then we will take our leave first, my lord. I wish you a safe journey!"
"Hmm!" Xu Sheng replied casually and then closed his eyes once more…
After the steward and his group had left, Xu Sheng, eyes still closed, soon felt the ship begin to slowly sink, then start moving steadily…
…
A full day had passed before this lengthy calm was shattered…
At this moment, several strong men hurriedly ran up from below. It seemed there was an extremely urgent matter.
Xu Sheng was also awakened by these abrupt sounds. His gaze subconsciously swept to the side, only to see the waves on both sides of the ship churning violently…
One of the strong men said with a grave voice, "My lord! We are about to enter the sea floor! We must seal off the fifth level before we can successfully dive to the seabed!"
Xu Sheng silently nodded…
After receiving Xu Sheng's permission, these strong men quickly began to move around the ship, pressing the designated buttons to initiate the closure…
As the button was pressed, two halves of a sturdy transparent Protective Barrier appeared below the fifth level, gradually coming together to completely cover it…
At the same time, the entire ship began to dive toward the seabed…
Soon after, the vast expanse of pale blue ocean enveloped the skies above, giving off a rather dreamlike feel…
Having completed these tasks, the strong man spoke again with a solemn face, "My lord, it's best if you don't sleep during this time. We are about to pass through the territory of the Devil Soul Great White Shark, and even we are not 100% certain of safe passage!"
The Devil Soul Great White Shark was highly aggressive, and even they almost had their Protective Barrier shattered during the last encounter, which nearly led to the ship's destruction and loss of life!
However, the lord before them was a Titled Douluo, so there wasn't as much cause for concern, but they still felt obligated to give the warning!
After quickly explaining this, the several strong men, not wanting to disturb Xu Sheng further, returned to the third level's control room…
Xu Sheng, sitting in his seat, watched the retreating backs of the men…
His eyes slowly narrowed…
Was this a veiled reminder from the Destruction God, signifying that his so-called first God trial was finally approaching…
And he had a premonition…
This time, the battle might be even more perilous than any he had faced before…
