Poseissi said with some complexity, "Can I learn it? You are actually right; I truly don't have the qualifications to learn. Someone with merely Red Level aptitude like me simply does not deserve to inherit the mantle of the gods."
At this time, the Sea God sneakily glanced at Lin Yi, his forehead breaking into a sweat as if panicked, and he quickly scolded Poseissi, "Look at you! What kind of talk is that?! You must learn this Skill!"
"Ah?"
Poseissi touched his cheek somewhat embarrassedly, "But it's against the rules of Sea God's Island, and I'm still the High Priest. To be the first to violate the rules you set..."
"My rules are crap!"
"Ah?"
Poseissi looked at the Sea God in surprise.
The Sea God, realizing he had lost composure, quickly raised his hand to cover his cheek, then lowered it, sweating while smiling, "I set the rules, and I can change them too. Whatever I say goes! You needn't feel guilty!"
"If that's the case, wonderful!"
Poseissi looked at him joyfully.
Lin Yi also smiled lightly from the side.
Both men immediately moved to the stage below. The Sea God took a deep breath and said to the people around, "Everyone please step back, after all, it's a divine Skill, and the range of its deployment is quite extensive."
Everyone swiftly retreated, making room for the two.
"Sea God, why is your leg trembling?"
Poseissi looked at the Sea God's right leg, enveloped in shattered armor, quivering at a fine yet rapid frequency.
The Sea God immediately tensed his right leg, "It's numb... Can you focus, please?!"
"Yes, of course!"
The Sea God looked at Poseissi holding a replica of the golden trident and felt somewhat conflicted.
"...I'll use the trident as well."
Having said that, he raised his hand, palm facing the east.
Everyone looked toward the direction at that moment, and soon, a rumbling sound of cutting through the air approached from afar, a golden shadow rapidly falling into the Sea God's hand.
That was the trident in the Temple of the Sea God... Poseissi thought to himself.
It was unimaginable that one day it would be pulled out, and it was the Sea God himself using it to teach me personally!
This is too incredible!
"Listen well, the moves of the Sea God's Trident are divided into thirteen forms, and the final thirteenth form can also be combined into one, forming a style of its own."
"The first form, Disorderly Storm! Watch my movements!"
As soon as the Sea God spoke, he began performing the moves with the trident. It was the first time everyone had witnessed a divine Skill being executed before their eyes, and even Poseissi's eyes were filled with sparkling stars at that moment.
"The second form, Thousand Years of Soaring Emptiness!"
"The third form, Once Gone, Never Return!"
...
"The thirteenth form combined into one, Sea God's Dusk!"
Under the Sea God's personal tutelage, Poseissi threw herself into it with one hundred and twenty percent focus.
She swung the golden trident, following the Sea God's movements until she had thoroughly master all the forms.
Lin Yi looked at the red light cluster in his hand, which at that moment turned into red smoke and drifted towards Poseissi, merging into her body.
This proved that Poseissi had completely assimilated and fused the reward.
With the trident in hand, the Sea God turned to Lin Yi as if submitting homework, his expression seeming to ask: Does this work for you?
Lin Yi snapped his fingers, and the Sea God's figure instantly disappeared on the spot, leaving nothing behind, as if he had never been there at all.
...
The five gods looked at the decrepit Sea God standing before them with a golden trident in hand and fell silent for quite some time.
Yet, the Sea God collapsed to one knee as if he was about to faint, the trident supporting his body.
"My lords... why did you not save me as I faced death!"
He lifted his head to look at the five law enforcers before him.
Evil curled his lips, "Do you think we could have saved you? How? Besides, we have our own plans, and we cannot reveal ourselves just yet. Moreover, you wouldn't have encountered any trouble had you done as he instructed."
The Sea God wore a bitter expression, "Everything's gone wrong, all wrong. Now even my guest elder has a trident!"
At this moment, the Asura God glanced at him and remarked, "That's nothing. The God of Angels' guest elder also has the Angel Holy Sword now."
"What the heck?"
The Sea God suddenly lifted his head, and then his face twisted into a hint of schadenfreude, "Really?!"
"I witnessed it with my own eyes yesterday."
"Ha! I'll go tell that icy beauty, the Angel God! Let's see her reaction!"
Before the five Supreme Gods could respond, the Sea God, dragging his battered armor, ran off with much glee.
"This guy, is he trying to draw the Angel God's attention with this?"
"As if everyone doesn't know he's the Sea King of the Divine Realm."
…
Poseissi stood in place, digesting the news for a moment, before happily making her way to the stage.
Her long gown made kneeling difficult, so she bowed deeply without hesitation, "Thank you, Senior Lin Yi!"
Lin Yi nodded, "Fourteen divine skills, your rewards are strong. However, it's only a Red Level reward, so you won't be able to immediately master and integrate them. You'll need to assimilate them over time. But choosing to have the Sea God personally teach you should also be quite a boon, right?"
"Absolutely! It's beyond anything I could have imagined!"
Poseissi nodded excitedly.
Lin Yi didn't say much more. Poseissi still had one more attack left for today, and aside from the Gua Sha Masters, it was her last assault for the day.
Now holding the golden trident, Poseissi was still visibly thrilled, the image of the Sea God demonstrating techniques for her live engraved forever in her memory.
This was all thanks to the unbelievable blessings Lin Yi had brought her.
Seeing her chest heave with excitement, Lin Yi asked, "Do you need a minute to calm down?"
"Yes!"
You actually agreed to that...
After a minute, Poseissi decisively put the trident away. As Lin Yi said, these skills weren't directly fused but taught live, so her use of them was still unrefined, her damage, certainly insufficient. Besides, as someone who wasn't a god, she couldn't unleash the full power of these skills.
Poseissi decided to use her own soul skills.
That faint but clear sound of the ocean tide came into everyone's ears again, providing a comfortable sensation as if, despite being away from the beach, they had moved into an ocean-view room.
The air carried the scent of the sea, as did the sound, and even the sights aligned with the deep-sea vista.
Hovering midair, Poseissi extended her arms, behind her emerged a deep-sea scene with surging waves rolling in and out.
"Seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body!"
The tall, handsome figure of the Sea God, clad in blue and gold armor, emerged once more behind her.
Just then, the Sea God reappeared behind the group of five gods.
Feeling something, the Evil God turned around, eyeing the Sea God, as disheveled as before, and asked in confusion, "Why are you back?"
"I heard the summoning… Alright, I just wanted to have another look. I know Poseissi is attacking again. There should be rewards, perhaps a drop of treasures, right?"
At that moment, the Life Goddess noticed a clear handprint on the Sea God's cheek.
