Chapter 40 Mind Reading
"Guests, that's Poseidon Island!"
A silver light flashed across the sea, and the large ship had approached the shore.
"This is all we can take you. Land-based Soul Masters who wish to remain on Seagod Island will need to undergo trials. Take care, everyone."
The captain, regaining his composure, spoke seriously to Xiao Lin and the others.
"Hmm, I remember you still owe me a drink. Next time you come to Hanhai City, you'll treat me."
Xiao Lin nodded slightly. An assessment? He wasn't here to be assessed.
"certainly."
After the group disembarked, several auras approached from the location of the seven sacred pillars on Poseidon Island.
"Land-based Soul Masters! You are not welcome here!"
Several yellow-clad Soul Masters surrounded the group, their eyes filled with hostility.
Whether you welcome them or not is not up to you to decide.
Xiao Lin took only one step forward, and the group of people were sent flying backward as if struck by a heavy blow.
"Who are you! How dare you injure a Soul Master from Seagod Island!"
A man in black arrived first, questioning coldly as nine spirit rings appeared beneath his feet.
"I only injured them, I haven't killed them yet, what's the rush?"
Xiao Lin paid no attention to the man's questioning.
"Get out of Poseidon Island! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
Six figures descended in succession. They looked at Xiao Lin as if facing a formidable enemy. The powerful aura they had just witnessed had sent chills down their spines. If they were not mistaken, it was this person who had emitted it.
"That's good, I didn't intend to stand on ceremony with you."
Xiao Lin merely raised his hand slightly, and a terrifying aura spread out, instantly turning the originally clear sky into an extremely gloomy one.
"Get them out of here!"
Seahorse Douluo's eyes were cold as he stepped forward and unleashed his seventh soul skill to attack Xiao Lin.
"Like an ant trying to shake a tree."
With a single palm strike, Xiao Lin's soul power alone repelled all seven Title Douluos.
"Peerless Douluo!"
The seven titled Douluo all looked at Xiao Lin in shock, realizing that their soul power was being suppressed by his terrifying aura.
"You're not bad, level 92 soul power, you're the one."
Xiao Lin appeared beside the Sea Maiden Douluo like a ghost and placed a palm on her shoulder.
A glint appeared in his eyes. What a beautiful mermaid! It would be a shame to let her go.
"Uh... let me go!"
After being pinned down by Xiao Lin, the Sea Maiden Douluo was stunned for a moment, then her face was filled with shame and indignation. She desperately shook her fish tail, but could not escape.
"Let her go!"
The others were furious and were about to step forward when Xiao Lin casually blasted them away.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Just as the group was about to step forward again, a clear, cold voice slowly emanated from the temple deep within Poseidon Island, causing them to stop in their tracks.
"Last time, when the Spirit Hall wanted to conquer Seagod Island, they sent over a thousand Soul Masters and two Title Douluos. This time, they sent two Peerless Douluos."
"Gentlemen, is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"
A blue light flashed, and High Priest Poseidon slowly walked down from mid-air.
"I do not belong to the Spirit Hall, nor am I fighting against you on behalf of the Spirit Hall."
Xiao Lin looked at Poseidon, his eyes flickering slightly.
"No? Then what brings you here?"
Poseidon glanced at Xiao Lin, her brows furrowing slightly. This man's aura seemed excessively powerful. As far as she knew, there was no one in the world whose strength at sea could surpass hers.
"He... he did it for..."
The Sea Maiden Douluo blushed. Her mind-reading ability had revealed the other person's inner thoughts, which were so filthy that she was ashamed to even utter them.
"So you found out?"
Xiao Lin glanced at the Sea Maiden Douluo, and before he knew it, she had seen through his thoughts. However, it was impossible for him to speak.
Silence spell!
"...He is...!"
The Sea Maiden Douluo had barely finished speaking when her voice was erased by a force, rendering her unable to open her mouth.
"Um?"
Poseidon looked at the Sea Maiden Douluo, not understanding what she was trying to say.
The Sea Maiden Douluo was speechless, glancing at Xiao Lin with a face full of shame and indignation. She guessed that the other party must have done something wrong!
Xiao Lin glanced at the Sea Maiden Douluo with a playful look, as if to say, "That's right, it's me."
"...!!!"
The sea goddess Douluo's pretty face flushed red. She read it again: if her fishtail were replaced with legs, she would definitely be stomping her feet in anger right now.
"Our family of five—one, two, ... five—is tired of playing on land and would like to try our luck on the sea. Is that alright?"
Xiao Lin turned around and glanced at the women behind him, then slowly spoke.
The Sea Maiden Douluo's eyes frantically hinted, "No, High Priest, he's lying to you!"
"It's not impossible to live on Poseidon Island, but you have to pass the Poseidon's test."
Poseidon's gaze fell on the group again. She had already sensed the dark aura on Xiao Lin. If he accepted the test, once he came into contact with the light of the sea god, his dark power would inevitably be purified, and then the initiative would still be in her hands.
"Do you think someone with my strength needs the Sea God's test?"
Xiao Lin's eyes were playful; he feared that the Sea God wouldn't be able to give him the test he wanted.
"If you don't want to undergo the trial, then leave Seagod Island!"
Poseidon's eyes were icy. This man was going to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, so she didn't need to be polite anymore!
"I'm sorry, I don't want to take the test, nor do I want to leave the island. How about we change the rules, push that sea god down, and let me sit on it instead?"
Upon hearing this, the people of Seagod Island were furious. Even Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly. These words were tantamount to provoking the gods and were extremely rebellious!
"How dare you! To defy the majesty of the sea god is a crime deserving of death!"
Poseidon was enraged, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire Seagod Island, revealing nine spirit rings: eight black and one red.
The seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island were startled. Was the high priest finally going to make a move?
"Kill me? That depends on whether you have the ability."
A blue light flashed in front of Xiao Lin, and a black gold halberd carved with blue dragon patterns appeared in front of him.
"Then let's try. If you lose, you will never be allowed to set foot on Seagod Island again, and they will stay and serve Seagod Island for life!"
Behind Poseidon, the spirit of the sea god slowly emerged.
"Let's talk about that after you win."
A spatial rift appeared beneath Xiao Lin's feet. The Heavenly Dragon Halberd turned slightly, and with a clear, resonant sound, a streak of azure light slashed out across the sky.
"Sixth Soul Skill - Sea Burial".
After Poseidon dodged the blue light, he spun his scepter, and a dark blue hole slowly appeared in the sky. Below the hole, a waterspout slowly formed.
"Eight Desolate Dragons!"
Xiao Lin's figure split into two, each holding a Heavenly Dragon Halberd, and in the blink of an eye, he unleashed countless streaks of azure light.
"It's useless. At sea, I am invincible. Your soul power can't possibly surpass mine!"
Poseidon unleashed her Sea God Domain, and her soul power began to increase at an astonishing rate.
"Dark Mark - Rift Realm!"
Holding the Heavenly Dragon Halberd, Xiao Lin's body was surrounded by countless spatial layers, transforming into a huge crack that swallowed the black hole.
"What?!"
Poseidon looked surprised and retreated dozens of feet as her eighth spirit ring slowly lit up.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Sea God's Light!"
