Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Drawing Out the Divine Weapon, the Sea God’s Trident
"Xiao Yu, our first trial is to complete some task involving the Sea God’s Light. What is that?"
Dugu Yan approached Xiao Yu, curious.
After learning about their trial tasks, Bo Saixi immediately took them to the location of the Sea God’s Light.
"Everyone, this is the Sea God’s Light you need to traverse. There are a total of 1,080 steps here. With each step, the Sea God’s Light covering these steps will exert a certain amount of pressure on your bodies. This pressure will increase as you climb higher. You have one year to complete the trial."
Bo Saixi explained the rules of climbing the Sea God’s Light.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan, as the leader of the six, was the first to begin climbing.
Her Black-level trial required her to climb 101 steps of the Sea God’s Light.
Before long, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Dugu Yan quickly ascended to the 80th step, as if she were walking up a normal staircase.
Finally, unable to bear the pressure any longer, she slowly retreated.
"Whew! That was quite difficult. I thought my physique was strong, but I didn’t expect to not even reach the 100th step."
Dugu Yan, back at the bottom, muttered with a slightly disappointed expression.
Although Dugu Yan felt regret, Bo Saixi and Sea Dragon Douluo were both shocked.
This was only her first day, and she had just received her trial, yet she had already climbed to the 80th step?!
What kind of genius was this?!
Sea Dragon Douluo, who also had a Black-level trial, knew just how terrifying the pressure of the Sea God’s Light was.
Even he had taken a year to reach the 80th step back then.
And now, she had done it so easily, leaving Sea Dragon Douluo both speechless and amazed.
After Dugu Yan came down, it was Xiao Wu and the others’ turn to climb. Their performances also left Bo Saixi and Sea Dragon Douluo in awe.
Even though it was their first time climbing the Sea God’s Light, even Ning Rongrong, the weakest in terms of physique, managed to reach the 50th step.
Xiao Wu, with the strongest physique, even reached the 102nd step!
The others also reached between the 60th and 70th steps.
"As expected of people brought by a divine lord, none of them have ordinary talents."
Bo Saixi muttered in awe once more.
Afterward, Xiao Wu and the others continued to work on their trials, while Bo Saixi took Xiao Yu to the palace at the top of the Sea God’s Light.
This was not only where the Sea God’s divine weapon, the Sea God’s Trident, was stored but also where Bo Saixi usually rested.
She planned to serve Xiao Yu according to the Sea God’s instructions.
As soon as they arrived, Xiao Yu saw the golden trident embedded in the ground, emanating a faint golden glow.
"Is this the Sea God’s weapon?"
"Indeed, this is the Sea God’s divine weapon, the Sea God’s Trident. It was with this that the Sea God conquered the seas and ascended to the divine realm."
Bo Saixi stood behind Xiao Yu, speaking softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu walked up to the Sea God’s Trident.
"Can I try pulling it out?"
"Ah?!"
Hearing this, Bo Saixi was stunned. Pull it out?!
Since the Sea God, no one had been able to pull out the Sea God’s Trident.
"Uh... Lord, if you wish to try, of course, you may. However, this is the Sea God’s personal weapon. If you are not the Sea God’s inheritor, its weight will reach a terrifying 108,000 jin."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu sneered.
He then activated the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon.
A majestic dragon king’s aura and golden lightning surrounded Xiao Yu.
"Let me give it a try."
With that, Xiao Yu placed his hand on the trident’s shaft and began to pull with all his might.
"Crack!!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!!"
As Xiao Yu exerted his strength, the Sea God’s Trident was pulled out almost effortlessly.
The trident, which had been deeply embedded in the ground, was now rising at a visible speed.
However, it seemed the Sea God’s Trident didn’t want to be pulled out, as it resisted fiercely.
The entire Sea God’s temple began to tremble violently.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
In the divine realm, Poseidon, the Sea God, noticed Xiao Yu attempting to pull out his divine weapon. Seeing Xiao Yu’s forceful approach, Poseidon’s face showed a complex expression.
This kid... as long as he doesn’t come to the divine realm, he’s invincible on the Douluo Continent.
Even if I or the Asura God were to descend, we might not be his match.
Watching Xiao Yu pull out his divine trident with his bare hands sent shivers down Poseidon’s spine.
Finally, with a burst of golden light above Sea God Island, Xiao Yu officially pulled out the 108,000-jin Sea God’s Trident.
Xiao Yu looked at the trident in his hand, glowing faintly with golden light, and gave it a few experimental swings.
It felt surprisingly comfortable to wield.
He then turned to Bo Saixi, who was now dumbfounded, and asked.
"Bo Saixi, this Sea God’s Trident feels quite comfortable to use. I don’t have a proper weapon right now, so how about I borrow this trident for a while? Once your Sea God’s inheritor arrives, I’ll return it."
"..."
"Ah??!"
Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Bo Saixi was momentarily stunned, letting out a cute "ah."
After her brain processed this for three seconds, she quickly pleaded.
"No, no!! Divine Lord, this is one of the trials for the Sea God’s Nine Trials inheritor. You can’t take it away!!"
Hearing Bo Saixi’s desperate plea, Xiao Yu smiled faintly.
"What’s the big deal? Your Sea God’s inheritor hasn’t come for many years, right? It’s been so long, a few more decades won’t make a difference. Don’t worry, I, Xiao Yu, keep my word. Once I find a new weapon, I’ll definitely return the trident."
"Divine Lord, you can’t do this... This is the Sea God’s weapon. I’m tasked with guarding it. I can’t just stand by and watch it be taken away! If you insist on taking it, you’ll be making an enemy of Sea God Island!"
