章 528: Chapter 524: You Feel Wronged by Kissing Me? Mysterious Small Island!_1
Poseissi fell into hesitation.
Because she didn't understand why the Sea God would set such a difficult trial for Luo Yu.
The Sea God's Light covered the temple that enshrined the Sea God's statue.
In reality, it was equivalent to a protective formation for the temple, one couldn't fly up to it, but had to climb to the top step by step via the staircase.
Without the recognition of the Sea God, each additional step one took meant facing exponentially increased pressure.
In her many years of understanding, for the trial of young Soul Masters, reaching the two hundredth step was considered a talent; reaching the three hundredth was simply unimaginable.
It's worth noting that her top red trial only required overcoming two hundred and ninety steps.
One thousand and one steps – under the cover of the Sea God's Light, even a Titled Douluo would struggle to achieve it.
Poseissi's silver pupils flickered as she looked towards the Sea Horse Douluo beside her.
"With your current cultivation level, can you climb one thousand and one steps?"
"This..."
The Sea Horse Douluo, who had been cheerfully watching the excitement on the side, was suddenly at a loss for words by Poseissi's question.
Should he answer yes or no?
If he honestly answered no, wouldn't that mean losing face right in front of Luo Yu and the others?
If he said yes, what if the High Priest really asked him to give it a try?
While he hesitated, Poseissi turned her head directly towards Luo Yu.
"You see, even he, with the cultivation of a Titled Douluo, cannot reach the top, so why would the Sea God set such a difficult trial for you?"
"Could you have misread it?"
Luo Yu shook his head and said calmly, "Have you ever thought that his inability to climb might not be because the Sea God's trial is hard but because he is a piece of trash?"
"Hiss—"
The youths on the island took a sharp breath; this guy really dared to speak his mind.
The Sea Horse Douluo was one of the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars, ranking third or fourth on Sea God's Island, and he just called him a piece of trash.
Then wouldn't they be even less than trash, complete waste in comparison?
The Sea Horse Douluo's temple veins throbbed.
He really wanted to shout out loud.
Do you have any manners?
Poseissi looked at Luo Yu earnestly, attempting to detect his cultivation level but unexpectedly let out a surprised yelp.
Because she found out that with her Ultimate Douluo's cultivation, she actually couldn't determine Luo Yu's exact cultivation level.
It seemed like that of a Soul Sage, yet it didn't seem like it, giving off a hazy impression.
She couldn't help but say, "Even if you've reached the realm of Soul Sage at such a young age, it will still be very difficult for you to climb one thousand and one steps within a year."
"As difficult as reaching the heavens, it's almost impossible."
The Sea Horse Douluo muttered to himself, was it just impossible, or was it totally impossible?
If this young man could easily reach the top, do you know what that would mean? It wouldn't just signify talent; it meant having the strength to easily beat him senseless.
Pfft.
The Sea Horse Douluo couldn't help but laugh, amused by his own ludicrous thoughts.
Beat him? How could that be possible? Another ten years of training for that boy might just about be enough.
Faced with doubt, Luo Yu calmly waved his hand.
"All that is beside the point; what's difficult is how to kiss you while climbing to the top."
Poseissi's pair of stunningly beautiful silver pupils paused.
She was so caught up in the astonishment of climbing one thousand and one steps that she had forgotten about this matter.
The decisive High Priest, biting her lip, now hesitated.
This was her long-guarded first kiss.
Should she just give it away like this?
"No way, High Priest!"
The Sea Horse Douluo couldn't help but jump out, raising his voice in protest.
"I admit this kid is talented like no other before, otherwise the Sea God wouldn't have granted him the Sea God's Nine Quests."
"But reaching the top of one thousand and one steps is simply impossible; it's sheer murder of this young man."
"We can't let him take advantage for nothing."
Luo Yu's lips curled upward, keeping silent, just watching the anxious Sea Horse Douluo.
Poseissi gave the Sea Horse Douluo a slanting glance.
Her silver eyes were unparalleled in their cold beauty.
Moistened her vermilion lips lightly parted.
"Are you... teaching me how to do my job?"
The Sea Horse Douluo's heart trembled as he caught the ice-cold undertone mixed in Poseissi's words, prompting him to shiver violently.
He hurriedly bent forward to pay his respects.
"How foolish of me to speak out of turn."
"Hmph."
With a cold snort from Poseissi, blood trickled from the corner of the Sea Horse Douluo's mouth, evidently suffering an internal injury.
In fact, The Sea Horse Douluo had just caught the brunt of her anger.
With Poseissi's wisdom, she had instantly analyzed the pros and cons—was she unaware of the possibility that Luo Yu might take advantage of her?
She was already in a bad mood.
There was no need for anyone else's reminder.
"Please, High Priest, allow the two of us to leave the island; it's no matter if we forgo this damnable trial." Luo Yu flicked his sleeve and was about to leave.
Poseissi's eyelashes quivered.
It was only because Luo Yu was chosen by the Sea God that she did not crush him for such an insult to the Sea God already.
Now, she could not only not attack him, but she also had to coax him with gentle words.
Because this guy was clearly very temperamental, and didn't play by the rules, making the Sea God's inheritance seem unattractive to him, as if he could give it up at any moment.
Whenever Poseissi faced Luo Yu, she would sometimes begin to doubt life itself.
Has the outside world changed, and all the youngsters have become so fierce that they no longer value divine inheritance?
"Please stay your steps, both of you."
"Hmm?" Luo Yu paused mid-step.
Poseissi forced a smile on her face.
"That... I think, perhaps we could try over there first."
Luo Yu sized up the stunningly beautiful woman before him with a graceful figure.
"Resisting the Sea God's Light to ascend the steps is no problem, but kissing you is quite difficult for me."
"Hiss..."
Poseissi's mouth opened wide in shock, taking a deep breath of cold air.
Listening to his begrudging tone...
What's going on here?
Is kissing me making you feel aggrieved?
For how many years had she ever felt such indignity?
Qian Daoliu was exceptionally talented, but even he acted as a groveling suitor around her, unrequited and unable even to touch a strand of her hair.
And now, she was prepared to offer her first kiss, yet this guy was still picky about it?
She couldn't possibly have to beg him to kiss her, could she?
Poseissi couldn't bring herself to say it and stood there silently.
Luo Yu seemed to sense this and thought to himself that it was fine to take some advantage, but he had to maintain a sense of proportion.
He couldn't be such a greedy person, right?
"Fine, let's head to the trial location now then."
"Phew."
Poseissi exhaled a sigh of relief, as the troublesome man finally agreed to undertake the trial.
She had feared this man would leave without care, simply walking away.
If it came to that, she might actually have to plead with him to kiss her, utterly losing face.
Especially with so many people watching.
...
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
Poseissi's vast, sea-like Soul Power enveloped everyone, leading them swiftly through the jungle on the island.
In less than the duration of a stick of incense, they had traversed half the island's distance.
They finally came to a stop.
Purple Pearl was stunned by the scene before her, captivated by the beauty in front of her.
There was an island within an island.
A peculiar little island was encircled by a ring of water right in the center.
The sparkling waters reflected countless colors under the sunset, and it seemed like myriad creatures swam beneath the surface.
"Splash splash splash."
The surrounding jungle rustled as six rainbows of light suddenly appeared.
