Chapter 250: Tang San, Who Was Once Inflated With Confidence, Is Now Stunned
"At most five years!"
"In the next five years, Ye Wen will have at least ten subordinates who can cultivate their human form to level 99, bear god positions, and become gods!"
"According to Tang San's current progress, it will take at most three years for the fated battle between him and Ye Wen to truly begin."
Also, in the ninth month, after going through a fierce struggle, Tang San finally completed the Sea God's Seventh Trial and drew the divine artifact, the Sea God Trident!
At this moment, Tang San finally held the divine artifact in his hands!
"The Sea God Trident! I, Tang San, finally possess this divine artifact that symbolizes the Sea God, and now I have its power!" Tang San was incredibly excited. His strength was growing rapidly, and he was getting closer and closer to becoming the Sea God.
He was about to achieve the Sea God title and would soon be able to slaughter all of Ye Wen's soul beasts!
"Ye Wen! You are unforgivable! When I become the Sea God, I will pass judgment on you with death!!!"
"You all have a path to death!!!"
With the Sea God Trident in hand, Tang San began to inflate with confidence.
Indeed, now that Tang San was at level 86, the Haotian Hammer had reached the third soul ring, and with a divine artifact in hand, his power was now enough to defeat a 96th-level Titled Douluo.
"Indeed, the Sea God Trident weighs 108,000 pounds. Just throwing it out could create a terrifying shockwave, let alone the fact that it comes with the Sea God's Thirteen Styles skill!!"
"Unbelievable! The power of this divine artifact is even more terrifying than I imagined. With it, my power has broken through to a whole new level." Tang San was full of excitement, especially as he began to understand the power of the Sea God Trident.
"Hahahahaha!!"
"Hahahahaha!!"
"Ye Wen! The day you die at my hands is not far off! I can't wait to stand before you and kill you myself!!" Tang San laughed loudly.
But just as his words left his mouth, something happened so fast it slapped his face.
Posey appeared in front of Tang San and revealed the details of his upcoming Sea God's Eighth Trial.
[Tang San, for your Sea God's Eighth Trial, you must cultivate your martial soul to the ninth ring, collect all soul bones, and kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The time limit is five years.]
"What!?"
"Five years to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!? Is this asking me to die!? Lord Posey, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Ye Wen, already possessed the strength of a hundred-level expert during the Soul Master competition. I haven't even achieved the Sea God yet, how can I possibly defeat him!?"
"No! I can't do this! I'll be killed!"
When Tang San heard that his Eighth Sea God Trial involved killing Ye Wen, he was completely stunned, frightened, and terrified.
He was currently at level 86, and he believed that within five years, he could break through to the Titled Douluo realm. He was confident that in these years, he had collected five soul bones, leaving only one to collect.
He could always grab a soul bone from a thousand-year-old beast if he needed to, completing the requirement of six soul bones.
But the one thing he absolutely couldn't do was kill Ye Wen!
He had no confidence! He couldn't even dare to think about it—it was basically asking him to die.
Just moments ago, Tang San had been laughing, saying that Ye Wen's death at his hands was near, and that he couldn't wait to kill him. Now, when faced with the task of actually killing Ye Wen, he was completely paralyzed, terrified, and full of dread.
"Ugh…"
Posey's expression was one of silent frustration, and her heart was full of contempt.
She had actually noticed Tang San's earlier excitement, and now, after hearing about the Eighth Trial, his expression had completely changed to one of fear and panic. Posey's inner dislike for Tang San grew.
Posey had never liked Tang San. In fact, she had entertained the idea of getting rid of him.
Because once Tang San became a god, she would have to sacrifice herself to help him open the portal to the divine realm.
She had been struggling with herself because this was the mission tied to her high-ranking position as a servant, and she had no choice but to comply. Moreover, the Sea God had also entrusted her with the task of ensuring Tang San smoothly inherited the Sea God's position.
If not for that, Posey would never have cared so much. She couldn't understand why the Sea God would choose someone like Tang San as his heir.
Suppressing her inner disdain, Posey maintained a calm demeanor and said, "Don't worry. After you meet the first two requirements and go to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the Sea God will lend you his power, allowing your strength to increase rapidly. You'll temporarily be able to wield the Sea God's divine power, helping you defeat it!"
"I see! I see now, Lord Posey!" Tang San finally let out a long sigh of relief and was filled with excitement.
If the Sea God's divine power helped him, he was confident that he could kill Ye Wen.
But deep down, he still had worries and doubts because he had been beaten and crushed by Ye Wen in the past. He had been shattered, his confidence broken.
He had felt despair many times, and that despair had left him with a fear of failure, a fear that he might lose again.
Yes, he had been overshadowed by Ye Wen's terrifying power, and no matter how strong he became, a part of him still felt that shadow.
Tang San shook off his inner fear and said, "I will train with all my strength and break through to the Titled Douluo realm as quickly as possible! I'll collect all six soul bones!"
"Then I'll kill him! With the Sea God's help, I won't fail again!" Tang San reassured himself, psyching himself up.
In the following time, Tang San trained desperately while searching for the final soul bone, determined to complete the six soul bones requirement.
Meanwhile, Ye Wen had been keeping a close eye on Tang San's progress.
"Tang San, get stronger, get stronger faster. I don't want to wait any longer," Ye Wen said, sitting on a rock in front of the Life Lake, looking toward Sea God Island.
He too was waiting for the fated battle to arrive, and that day was finally on the horizon.
Time flew by.
One year later.
Ye Wen's soul power in human form had reached level 98. He was nearing the peak of the mortal realm.
In that same year, Tang San had only progressed from level 86 to level 87.
In this year, Qian Renxue's soul power had risen rapidly. During the Angel's First Trial, her soul power increased several levels, and she passed the first trial, beginning the Angel's Second Trial.
Another year passed.
In the Star Dou Forest, Ye Wen's soul power in human form reached the pinnacle, reaching level 99, the peak of the soul master realm!
