Chapter 99: So Terrifying

Under the respectful leadership of the man in yellow.

Neptune followed him through the jungle and came to a pool of water that looked like a pool within the sea. The most bizarre thing was that this inland pool, which should have been extremely calm, was actually as turbulent as the sea, moving without wind.

The pool was surrounded by dense forests and appeared to be about 500 meters in diameter. In the middle of the pool, there was a platform with a strange stone pillar standing on it.

Rather than a pillar, it is more like a statue. The entire pillar is white jade-like in color, and is a statue of a young girl, kneeling on the pillar platform, with her hands clasped in front of her chest, and worshipping in the direction of the Temple of The Sea God.

Although it is just a sculpture, the pious expression on her face is so clear and lifelike.

On the edge of the holy pillar, a girl was sitting there. Surprisingly, she had a huge fish tail, with a beautiful curve extending all the way to her waist. At this moment, her fish tail was gently slapping the surface of the sea in the sea.

She was wearing a black top that didn't even cover her belly button. She had a pair of big sky-blue eyes that looked more like the sky than the ocean. Her stunning face was so beautiful, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. Her tail was slapping the water, and she was having fun~

[Wow, is this the legendary mermaid?! ]

[How rare! ]

[I have only seen records of this in books. It is said that this is a creature that is half soul beast and half human. It has a long lifespan like a soul beast, but possesses a martial spirit like a human.]

[And this race will never age in appearance! ]

[You will never age… I envy you so much. ]

[What a blessed race. ]

[So, is there any test to join the Sea God Island? ]

[As long as you pass the test, you can inherit the throne of the Sea God? Then doesn't that mean everyone can come? ]

[You wish! I am a spirit master of Sea God Island. Let me tell you, the tests of Sea God Island are not that simple. The tests are divided into five levels, the same as the colors of the spirit rings. The lowest is the white level test and the highest is the red level test.]

[Those who pass the test will receive the Sea God's reward, but there are more people who fail because there are many soul masters who are injured in the test! If you underestimate the test, you won't even know how you died. ]

[So far, the only person who has passed the highest red level test is the Great Priest of Sea God Island. As for the black level, only the seven sacred pillar guardians have passed it.]

[This kind of test is not easy to pass even if he is a Titled Douluo. ]

[So that's how it is. Come to think of it…]

[If it was really that easy to obtain the inheritance of the Sea God, we wouldn't have waited until Neptune came. ]

Barrages of comments passed through the live broadcast room, and a lot of information about the Sea God Island was revealed intentionally or unintentionally by some insiders through the comments, letting everyone know some specific information about The Sea God Island.

Back to the video.

"Welcome to the Sea within the Sea. The Sea Witch Pillar." The man in yellow said in a special tone, "The Sea Witch Pillar is one of the seven pillars on the Sea God Island. The Sea God has endowed the seven pillars with divine power, and the will of God is spread through the seven pillars. Any pillar can be used to test foreign soul masters."

After saying this, he turned to Hai Zhonghai, bent down ninety degrees to salute respectfully, and with the urging of his soul power, he transmitted his voice over.

"Your Highness, Lady Sea Witch, a foreign spirit master is requesting to be tested. Please grant your permission."

Driven by soul power, the voice of the man in yellow spread like a straight line, drowning out the sound of the surging waves in the sea.

The mermaid girl who was playing in the water on the platform did not show any surprise when she heard the voice. It was obvious that she had noticed their arrival a long time ago.

"It's been a long time since we've had an outsider soul master."

"Since you want to accept the test, then come here yourself."

A sweet and charming voice rang in the ears of everyone on the shore.

"Your Majesty, please move to the front of the Holy Pillar." The man in yellow pointed to the Holy Pillar of the Sea Witch in the Mediterranean Sea and said, "Once you are there, you can accept the test from His Majesty the Sea God."

Neptune looked at the turbulent sea and did not choose to fly over directly. Instead, he walked to the shore step by step and slowly stepped into the water.

Just when the people on the shore and in the live broadcast room thought he would get wet, a magical scene happened.

The originally turbulent sea suddenly became quiet, and then the sea water began to surge and quickly condensed into the shape of a staircase.

Neptune walked up the water stairs, step by step, towards the Holy Pillar of the Sea Witch in the center.

[Hiss! Such a terrifying water control ability! ]

[How is it possible to directly affect water without using soul skills? ]

[Is it because his martial soul is water? It is true that I have never seen a pure elemental martial soul like this. I only know that weapon martial souls and beast martial souls may have various elemental attributes, but what kind of martial soul should a pure elemental martial soul like this be classified as?]

[A pure elemental martial spirit is so powerful? He is like the master of water! All the water in the world changes at will according to his will.]

[No wonder, I now know why he can inherit the throne of Sea God. ]

[With such talent, who else in the world is more suitable than him to inherit the throne of Sea God? ]

[He is so powerful even before he becomes a god. What will happen if he becomes a god? ]

[fear...]

A series of comments flashed by, full of admiration and surprise.

In the current Douluo Continent, people think of martial spirits as basically only weapon martial spirits and beast martial spirits, and at most a martial spirit whose body part is a martial spirit. Such martial spirits are simply martial spirits of a certain element and have never appeared before.

In the video.

Neptune walked up the stairs made of condensed sea water, step by step, to the platform of the Sea Witch's Holy Pillar.

"It's rare to find someone as strong as you who comes to accept the test." The mermaid girl said as she lifted her long fish tail from the sea, dropped it on the holy pillar, and transformed it into a pair of legs, with a long black skirt directly covering it.

"And your mental power is so strong that people can't even read your mind." She had a confused look on her face, as if she had encountered something very strange.

"Can the test begin?" Neptune asked impatiently. His attitude towards her was surprisingly cold.

[Reading minds???]

[Is there such a terrifying ability? ! ]

[No way! No one wants to be pried into the secrets hidden in their hearts. Facing this woman, I'm afraid no one will have a good face. ]

[So that's how it is. I was wondering why he was so kind to everyone else before, but suddenly became so cold in front of this beautiful woman.]

[Perhaps this mermaid annoyed him by trying to read his mind.]
