Inside the Sea God Hall.
A Sea God's Trident full of flowing radiance emanated a blinding divine brilliance.
The frosty trident blades, capable of severing anything, were breathing out a sharp edge.
It floated in front of Luo Yu.
Emotions of intense longing were being conveyed, as if desperate for Luo Yu to grasp it in his hand.
Bossi stood by, utterly speechless.
Others might not know, but how could she be unaware of the true nature of the Sea God's Trident?
It had always been aloof, never paying attention to anyone.
Even she, the Ultimate Douluo High Priest, had tried to communicate with it, but never received any response.
Who would have thought that upon seeing Luo Yu, it would become so eager?
So eager that it seemed almost overbearing, as though frightened that Luo Yu might reject it.
What was going on here?
Bossi rubbed her temples, her gaze complex as she looked at the man.
Could the gap between individuals really be so vast?
Luo Yu looked at the proactive Divine Artifact in front of him without hurrying to reach out, a playful smile crossing his lips.
"Want to acknowledge me as your master?"
The Sea God's Trident vibrated as if with human emotion, tilting forward.
Luo Yu crossed his arms and asked, "Why should it?"
"Hiss..."
Bossi's beautiful eyes rounded in astonishment.
She was rendered speechless.
Goodness.
If others saw a Divine Artifact acknowledging its master, they would probably be overjoyed, eager to immediately claim the treasure.
But this man was nonchalant, even seeming a little reluctant to take it.
Aren't you afraid that the Artifact Spirit will get annoyed and not follow you?
Then you would have nowhere to cry.
"Buzz!"
The golden surface of the Sea God's Trident flared, bursting into a powerful divine light.
The sharp aura emanating from the trident tip carved out smooth cracks in the ground, and the entire temple shook once again.
"This is bad!"
Bossi cried out in alarm, sensing trouble.
It was obvious that Luo Yu's disdainful attitude had angered the Divine Artifact.
Compared to Bossi's panic, Luo Yu stood firm as if he were a long spear piercing the sky, calm and collected.
He simply watched the formidable Sea God's Trident.
"Get out of the way, the Artifact Spirit is clearly annoyed and wants to attack you," Bossi warned anxiously, concerned for Luo Yu's safety.
Luo Yu gave her a relaxed smile.
"No need to worry."
The next second, the Sea God's Trident moved.
The sound of ocean waves rang out, and visions of a multi-layered ocean appeared around them.
A golden beam burst from the trident's tip, soaring into the sky.
"Boom!"
The dome of Sea God's Island was instantly pierced by a large hole.
The golden beam exploded in the sky like thunder, the golden energy particles scattering like fireworks in the air.
This spectacle startled the Seven Pillar Guardians and Purple Pearl waiting at the foot of the mountain.
They thought it would all be over after the golden beam exploded.
Who would have imagined that those shattered golden particles would linger in the air, forming four large characters.
"Master, take me!"
"Holy shit, what... what's going on?" The Sea Dragon Douluo and others at the foot of the mountain gaped in astonishment, completely taken aback.
Bai Xiuxiu and Purple Pearl exchanged looks, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes, not understanding what had just happened.
Bossi inside the Sea God Hall naturally also saw the four large characters in the sky.
She was dumbfounded.
So the Trident wasn't angry and didn't want to attack Luo Yu, but rather, it was displaying its divine strength, trying to prove its value to Luo Yu.
Bossi never imagined in her lifetime that an artifact acknowledging its master could take such a turn.
What exactly was going on with this Sea God's Trident? It had never behaved like this before.
Why had it suddenly turned into such a bootlicker?
You're the weapon of the Sea God, how can you be so unabashedly sycophantic?
A twitch crept onto Luo Yu's lips.
He, too, now wanted to know what exactly was the deal with this Sea God's Trident.
Why so eager?
If it were Tang San who was to become the master, I bet this wouldn't be happening.
Luo Yu pondered.
Could it be that this thing has sensed my talent and potential?
No way.
Seeing no response from Luo Yu, the Sea God's Trident retracted its aura and cautiously approached Luo Yu.
It floated horizontally in the air, gently caressing Luo Yu's legs with its shaft.
Bossi was completely baffled.
What in the world is this?
She couldn't understand the Sea God's Trident's actions at all.
To become a master, does a Divine Artifact need to lose all its pride?
Luo Yu was also stunned.
This isn't how things should be.
Not even a fawning dog would act like this.
Could it be that the Sea God's Trident really did sense something on him?
In fact, Luo Yu had guessed right.
Even though the Sea God wasn't continuously watching over the mortal world, the Artifact Spirit within the Sea God's Trident was always monitoring Luo Yu's progress and situation as he faced the trials.
It had already been conquered and even frightened by the talent and strength Luo Yu displayed.
The Artifact Spirit quickly made a judgment: the Sea God, at a similar age, could have been crushed to death by just one of Luo Yu's fingers.
What else was there to consider? At all costs, it wanted to cling to Luo Yu, this pillar of strength.
So naturally, it was extremely attentive.
After a moment of contemplation, Luo Yu reached out his hand to try.
The Sea God's Trident was very sensible.
With a swoosh, it flew up and obediently lay in the palm of Luo Yu's hand.
Luo Yu swung his arm, sweeping the trident horizontally.
"Boom!"
The dreadful weight of 108,000 jin, under the boost of Luo Yu's strength, soared to new heights, creating a powerful sonic boom with just a slight swing, shattering the stone slabs on the ground.
"Tsk, this is quite interesting."
Luo Yu's eyes lit up.
In his hands, the Sea God's Trident weighed but a hundred jin, but if it hit someone else, it would wield the force of a ten thousand jin with a mere flick.
A touch meant death, a near miss meant doom.
This statement was no exaggeration.
Suddenly, a stream of information was transferred from the Sea God's Trident into Luo Yu's mind.
Luo Yu was momentarily stunned, but after digesting the information, he couldn't help but smile.
He carried the long trident and walked step by step toward Bossi.
"Have you... have you completely mastered the Sea God's Trident?" Bossi asked with an uncontrollable astonishment in her voice.
"What do you think?"
Luo Yu leaned in closer, his handsome face getting very close to Bossi's beautiful countenance, not even a fist's space away.
"What are you... what are you doing?" Bossi was a bit flustered, the man's scent overwhelming her as she stepped back on her high heels.
Luo Yu reached out his hand, pinching Bossi's pale chin.
"Last night you promised to come to my room, but it seems you didn't show up, did you?"
"Shouldn't we settle this matter now?"
Bossi trembled slightly, "You... what did you say? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding."
"Well, I just remembered I have something else to do, I need to go now, ah."
She turned her beautiful face and, mustering her Soul Power, floated towards the sky, passing through the great hole in the dome and fleeing into the distance.
"Thinking of welching on the deal?"
"No way."
A sly and confident smile crossed Luo Yu's face.
He lifted the long trident and gave chase.
"Whoosh!"
Bossi flew out first, attracting the attention of everyone below.
Sea Horse Douluo wondered, "What's going on? Why is the High Priest rushing out like that?"
"It looks like the High Priest is fleeing," Sea Illusion Douluo speculated.
Sea Dragon Douluo retorted, "What a joke, who has the ability to make the High Priest flee?"
A loud shout from Luo Yu came from the sky.
"Sea God's Thirteen Styles."
"First Style: Unsteady Wind and Wave!"
A series of golden ripples spread out in the air, heading straight for Bossi.
