章 544: Chapter 540: The Terrifying Third Test, A Mother's Mentality Collapses!_1
"Swish, swish!!"
On the vast Circular Sea, the waves churned as countless Devil Soul Great White Sharks surfaced all at once.
They formed a clearing around the moon.
At that spot,
Luo Yu appeared before everyone, riding an enormous and intimidating White Shark Clan Leader.
All eyes were wide with shock in that moment.
Sea Horse Douluo almost dropped his jaw, "Damn it, how is this kid riding on the White Shark Clan Leader?"
"Wha... what's going on?" Sea Dragon Douluo was agape, completely stupefied.
"It can't be, this kid has only been underwater for a short while, what kind of divine trick did he use to subdue the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan so quickly?" Sea Star Douluo's face was a picture of disbelief, never expecting Luo Yu to pull off such a feat.
Sea Horse Douluo scratched his head fiercely, his eyes reddening.
"Can someone tell me what just happened under the sea? This is too bizarre."
"Island Guardian Beasts allowing humans to ride on their backs? What a joke, even the High Priest can't manage that," Poseissi thought incredulously, slightly speechless.
The challenge given to you was to reach the other side by breaching the blockade of soul beasts.
And you? You went ahead and raised the difficulty, subduing the soul beasts outright?
Purple Pearl's Beautiful Eyes sparkled with admiration, heart swelling with pride as she watched her man ride a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.
"Folks, I'll go ahead and wait for you on the other side."
Luo Yu waved to the people on the shore, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan's escort causing ripples stylishly as they moved.
It didn't take long for him to reach the other side.
After delivering Luo Yu to the shore, the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan didn't even glance at the stunned people with Poseissi as they roared their farewells to Luo Yu and dived back into the water.
"Whiz!"
A golden light screen suddenly shot out from Luo Yu's forehead, boldly announcing,
"Congratulations to the inheritor for completing the second trial of the Sea God's Nine Quests, breaking through the Circular Sea's blockade. Reward: 5% Sea God Affinity,"
The onlookers on the other side, being extraordinary Soul Masters, naturally noted the golden light screen.
They couldn't help but have peculiar expressions on their faces.
"This... this means he passed the trial?" Sea Horse Douluo shook his head in disbelief, never imagined Luo Yu would pass the trial so rapidly, and in such an unexpected manner.
Sea Dragon Douluo was silent, wondering whether he was dreaming, for how else could the kid have achieved this? It was utterly preposterous.
However, a special light gradually flickered in Poseissi's eyes.
"The Sea God's foresight truly isn't something we mortals can fathom. This fellow keeps creating miracles; he truly is the chosen one, indeed beyond ordinary, utterly incredible," he thought.
Sea Dragon Douluo opened his mouth to retort but found himself without words.
"Let's go, let's join him," Poseissi called to everyone then floated over to Luo Yu's side.
The seven Pillar Guardians watched Luo Yu with newfound caution.
It was simply that his repeated miraculous feats had begun to instill a deep-seated wariness and fear in them.
"How... how did you pass this trial?" Sea Horse Douluo used an honorific tone.
Luo Yu's gaze shifted away from the golden light screen and glanced at him.
"Isn't this kind of low-level challenge as simple as just using your hands?"
Sea Horse Douluo's inner world was in turmoil.
Damn it.
To be outdone by this kid was infuriating.
And he was left speechless.
"Get out of the way, let me ask," Sea Dragon Douluo reluctantly pushed Sea Horse Douluo aside.
He rubbed his hands together, clearly nervous and cautious.
"Um... how did you manage to ride the White Shark Clan Leader, and could you possibly teach us?"
"The Devil Soul Great White Shark clan isn't exactly vegetarian, you know."
Luo Yu shook his head, "I can't teach you, even if I did, you wouldn't be able to learn it."
Sea Dragon Douluo said, "There must be some secret trick to it. Please don't hold back, tell us, how would we know if we can't learn it if you don't tell us?"
Luo Yu looked at him, "It's actually quite simple."
All ears were pricked up, everyone intently listening to the exchange.
Luo Yu said, "It's just a matter of calling it over, then flipping onto its back, telling it I want to go to the other side, and that's it."
Sea Dragon Douluo's smile stiffened on his face.
"That's all?"
"That's it," Luo Yu replied with rolling eyes towards him, "It's just that easy; what else could there be?"
Sea Dragon Douluo's composure was instantly wrecked.
Easy?
You call this easy?!!
I'm totally freaking out here.
First of all, who could simply invite the White Shark Clan Leader over?
And to think of flipping onto its back without getting your pants bitten through?
Luo Yu pointed towards where the White Shark Clan had vanished beneath the sea.
"You've learned it, right? Once you've mastered it, go ahead and give it a try."
"After all, practice is the only way to true knowledge."
The Sea Dragon Douluo's mouth twitched.
Try it and you're dead.
You really want me to try it, huh? You're clearly just trash-talking me, trying to get me to ask for a beating.
Do you think I'd fall for your scheme?
At this moment, the Sea Horse Douluo patted him on the shoulder.
"Old Dragon, who was it that said if Luo Yu passed the second trial, they would call him grandpa?"
"Shh, don't speak." The Sea Dragon Douluo looked embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Little Horse, you really love to bring up the worst thing at the worst time, don't you?"
The Sea Horse Douluo had a schadenfreude expression of glee on his face.
"We are Pillar Guardians, our word is our bond. How can we go back on what we've said?"
"Clench, clench!"
That was the sound of the Sea Dragon Douluo gritting his teeth.
"I'd rather not mention this ever again, and here you are, bringing it up!"
Luo Yu said nonchalantly, "Forget it, I don't want such a grandson. The blood of my Luo Family isn't that weak."
"Huff, huff!"
The Sea Dragon Douluo was breathing heavily with anger, his face turning from green to white.
"Swoosh!"
A golden light screen appeared before Luo Yu with a new prompt.
"Sea God's Nine Quests, Third Trial: Tidal Body Forging. Must endure atop a Silver Pillar for 24 hours every day, for 365 days."
Upon seeing this prompt, everyone looked at each other, all seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.
The Sea Horse Douluo couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Awesome, another abnormal level of trial!"
"This test is disgusting." The Sea Dragon Douluo lamented repeatedly.
Purple Pearl furrowed her brows, "Endure for 24 hours every day? There are only 24 hours in a day, right? Does this mean they want Brother Yu to be confined to the Silver Pillar for 365 days straight without coming down, enduring the tidal wash?"
Poseissi was also quite puzzled, "I remember that for a Black Grade challenger, enduring three Shichen per day was enough, and for a Red Grade challenger, five Shichen would suffice. Why does this guy have to do a whole day?"
Purple Pearl couldn't help but complain, "This isn't a trial, it's clearly not giving anyone a chance to live."
She walked up, took Luo Yu's wrist, and began to pull him away.
Luo Yu's expression remained calm as he lightly shook his head, drawing sideways glances from everyone.
"He's too calm."
"At a time like this, and the kid still doesn't even blink?"
"Impressive composure, I'm sold," the Sea Horse Douluo muttered to himself, "I would've cracked under pressure."
Luo Yu clasped Purple Pearl's smooth and tender hand.
"Don't worry, I have my ways of breaking through this trial."
"Breaking through?" Purple Pearl's beautiful eyes lit up.
Poseissi couldn't help but be negative, "There are no shortcuts in this trial, and even if you're incredibly resilient, it will still take at least 365 days to complete."
Luo Yu shook his head.
"No need for more words, just lead us to the location of the Tidal Body Forging trial."
Poseissi's Beautiful Eyes looked at him intently.
She thought she was observing closely yet could not see a trace of panic in Luo Yu's eyes, only endless determination and confidence.
...
At the bottom of the Circular Sea, Bai Xiuxiu, who had transformed into her human form, was surrounded by her clan in the center.
A pair of White Sharks looked on with curiosity and envy.
"Daughter, did that human really give you the Transformation Grass willingly?" The body of the White Shark Clan Leader trembled as its pupils constricted.
Bai Xiuxiu nodded, "Yes."
Not only was the White Shark Clan Leader shocked, but hundreds of Devil Soul Great White Sharks also became agitated.
"He just casually gave away such a precious item?" The White Shark Clan Leader was dumbfounded.
In front of it floated a golden scale wrapped in lightning. She agreed to take Luo Yu to the other shore because this scale could speed up the cultivation of her entire clan.
Such a treasure was extremely rare, and naturally, the White Shark Clan Leader respected Luo Yu deeply.
Now knowing the reason behind her daughter's transformation only intensified the leader's gratitude toward Luo Yu.
"Brother Yu has been very kind to me. He even said he wants me to be his girlfriend," Bai Xiuxiu said cutely, pouting her rosy lips.
"What? Girlfriend??" The voice of the White Shark Clan Leader suddenly rose.
"Right, a girlfriend, hee-hee," Bai Xiuxiu held her chin, recalling, "Brother Yu was very considerate. I didn't want to wear clothes, but he cajoled me into wearing them."
"This..." The body of the White Shark Clan Leader tensed, "So did you end up wearing them?"
"I did," Bai Xiuxiu replied.
"Good, good, that's good then," the White Shark Clan Leader sighed with relief, but Bai Xiuxiu's next sentence made its heart leap to its throat.
"But I really didn't want to wear them, so I asked Brother Yu to let me stay without clothes."
"And then?" The White Shark Clan Leader asked anxiously.
"Hee-hee, he wouldn't let me take them off at first, but then I used the power of acting spoiled, and finally, he agreed."
"Mom, am I smart?" Bai Xiuxiu turned to the White Shark Clan Leader with a purely sweet smile.
