Peerless: Auspicious Beast's Star Revival Plan

Chapter 164 Disregard
So, is it Wang Dong?

There was no change in the red-robed young man's expression. He just lowered his eyes to hide the gloom in them.

He appeared on the beach of Poseidon Island when he was six years old and was taken in by the sea soul master on the island. All his memories before that were like the footprints on the beach behind him, washed away by the sea.

He didn't know his name, where his home was, what his parents looked like, or why he appeared on the shore.

The sea soul master took him away and helped him awaken his martial soul. After they saw his martial soul - the blue shadow behind him - the soul masters of Sea God Island named him Hai Ling, which simply and crudely means the manifestation of the Sea God.

The Holy Pillar of the Sea God also brought down the first top eight tests in ten thousand years.

Hai Ling is now seventeen years old and has completed the first five tests on Seagod Island. He has the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor. The divine martial soul also represents the will of Seagod. No matter what, Hai Ling is a foregone conclusion that he is an Ultimate Douluo and his future achievements are limitless.

Therefore, no matter in Poseidon Island or Shrek Academy, his status is extremely high.

The soul masters of Poseidon Island said that this was because he had a devout belief in Poseidon and that he was a child chosen by Poseidon and entrusted with an important task.

Everyone on Poseidon Island and Shrek taught him, either explicitly or implicitly, to be grateful for everything Poseidon had given him and to devote his life to Poseidon.

ridiculous.

Hai Ling was not obsessed with his blank past, but he hated his own name.

How could a six-year-old child believe in something so devoutly? Hai Ling would occasionally sneer in his heart. He never believed in the Sea God, and he didn't even have any respect for the Sea God - this was very strange for a six-year-old who had always been indoctrinated to believe in the Sea God - but the God-given martial spirit did not leave him.

Maybe the gods didn't notice, or maybe they were too arrogant and didn't care.

What's more, he may not necessarily have the so-called "unlimited future".

During this ten thousand years, Poseidon Island was hidden from the world, and the seven sacred pillars of the Poseidon God were disassembled, one of which was transported to Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy replaced Poseidon Island and spread the faith for Poseidon Tang San for ten thousand years.

Compared to the beliefs of land residents, the current Lord Sea God obviously doesn't care that much about the base of the previous Sea God, that is, the beliefs of sea soul beasts and sea soul masters - or perhaps he thinks that the ocean is already firmly under his control and he no longer needs to spend any effort on it.

And in the past ten thousand years, Tang San had never given up the top eight tests - even the lower level tests were pitifully rare.

Why did Tang San suddenly bring down the Eight Tests of the Sea God?
It can't be for the purpose of managing the remaining sea soul masters on Poseidon Island.

Poseidon is not a generous deity.

After passing the top eight tests, many confidential records of Poseidon Island and Shrek Academy that were not allowed to be seen by outsiders were no longer secrets to Hai Ling. In his opinion, those tests were called tests, but in fact, they were more like completing certain tasks for Poseidon during the test and then getting paid.

It is said that gods cannot interfere in the mortal world. Although Poseidon's mission did not involve conflicts between continental countries, those missions hidden in the assessment... He felt that Poseidon had some other plans.

All Moon had obtained back then was the sixth black level test, and the price he paid was poisoning his confidante from his youth (or something else, Hai Ling didn't know the details), and parted ways with his old friend.

After all, Shrek Academy did some "cover-up". Later generations only knew that decades ago, Dragon Emperor Douluo Di Feng and Dragon God Douluo Moon dueled outside Shrek City. After the Dragon Emperor Douluo was defeated and hurt, he betrayed his motherland and went to Sun and Moon. The two broke up completely.

And what about his assessment?
Hai Ling has completed the first five tests, which were easier than scooping a piece of tea from a teacup. The rewards for the tests were also very generous. After each test, he would obtain level 10 soul power and a god-given soul ring - no one else knew that his Sea God Martial Soul seemed unable to obtain soul power through normal training.

Logically speaking, the speed of cultivating the divine martial spirit should be extremely fast, but no matter how Hai Ling tried, he could not find any way to increase his soul power except the divine test.

This is another strange thing.

It can't be that his talent was too poor before he was endowed with the divine martial spirit, so that even the divine martial spirit couldn't save him, right?

And what is the price he has to pay? Is Tang San such a generous god? He hasn't given the Eight Trials for ten thousand years!

What did the last Sea God priest who passed the top eight tests pay for?
Maybe... Ten thousand years later, Tang San wants to find an heir from Douluo Continent to pass down the throne of Seagod. He gave Hai Ling the top eight tests and generous rewards just to help him reach the level of Extreme Douluo faster, and then open the door to inheritance to the God Realm.

Like a fattened duck.

But Hai Ling originally thought it would be many, many years later, at least when he reached level ninety-nine.

However, now Wang Dong, who holds a very special status for the Haotian Sect, has appeared... Could it be him? The successor chosen by the Sea God?

"My sixth test is to lead Shrek to win the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition." He spoke indifferently, with a hint of arrogance and indifference as usual, and no one noticed the dark thoughts churning in his mind.

Look, it’s another easy test without any suspense, but maybe this competition is an opportunity. Maybe he can contact Dragon Emperor Douluo who was badly cheated by the Sea God through the contestants of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

"It just so happens that we were planning to have you join this year's competition. Isn't this an assessment that you can easily pass!" Boss Xuan laughed, "I don't know a time when our academy hasn't been the champion! With this year's lineup, I can't imagine how we can lose!"

"Oh? Who's in this year's lineup?" Hai Ling asked with concern.

Then I must find a way to lose, he thought to himself, the duck can't get any fatter.

"Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, Gong Yangmo, Ling Luochen, Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan." Yan Shaozhe said, "These are the players that will be selected for the time being."

"Where are the reserves?" Moon looked up.

"The preliminary list includes Xu Sanshi, Beibei, Wang Dong, Xiaoxiao, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu who have the martial soul fusion skill, and the remaining spot is to be determined."

"Do you want my old friend to cause trouble for me?" Moon shook his head. "I know you don't want to bring the three little guys from the Beast Sect... but we are an academy after all. These three little guys are obviously the future pillars of the Beast Sect. Otherwise, why would my old friend come to Shrek City? The Beast Sect is willing to let them come to Shrek to study, so we naturally have to treat them fairly. After all, we are not hostile to the Beast Sect."

"What if, what if they are spies sent by the soul beasts behind the Beast Sect to gather intelligence?" Yan Shaozhe gritted his teeth, "How can the ultimate martial soul be so easy to come by?"

"Who would use a child with extreme attributes as a spy?" Xian Lin'er slammed the table and stood up. She felt it necessary to protect her soul guide department's future pillar, er, object.

Moon looked at him for a moment, then finally shook his head.

"Shaozhe, you still don't have enough tolerance. Lin'er is much better than you in this aspect. I can't remember how many times I have said that to you."

Yan Shaozhe lowered his head in shame, but he was obviously one of those people who "honestly admits mistakes but never repents". Moon En had already told him countless times, but he was still the same. As a result, as soon as he sat down, he saw Qian Duoduo gloating at him like a little boy, and he was almost angry to death.

Soon, the topic of the elders turned to the question of "How will the second grade be assessed if soul beasts are not used?" Hai Ling didn't care about this at all. He greeted Moon, stood up silently, and left the meeting room.

The old men and women present were obviously used to him being late and leaving early, and no one commented on it.

But he did not return to his residence as usual, but came to the mission archive room of the Shrek Supervisory Corps.

There are countless evil soul masters here, as well as information about those defined as evil soul masters by Shrek.

Before Shrek Academy participates in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, it is customary to mobilize students from other academies to join the Shrek Supervisory Group and carry out a supervisory group mission.

Hai Ling lowered her eyes.

There were no loopholes to exploit in the first five tests, but the sixth test was different. He needed to seize every opportunity and prevent Shrek Academy from winning the championship at all costs.
