Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo
Chapter 370
When you step on the gravel, you can feel the cool breeze blowing in your face, and the fragrance of various flowers is fresh, warm and refreshing. The fresh fragrance of flowers permeates the air, making people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are in a large natural garden.
“Who are you?”
Before Tang San, Dai Mubai and the others had time to enjoy the sea breeze of Seagod Island, more than a dozen figures quickly rushed out from the woods with low shouts and blocked the way of Jiang Han and his disciples.
These people looked different, but they had one thing in common. They were all wearing the same hard armor, and they were holding spears in their hands and looking at Jiang Han and his apprentice vigilantly. As the guards of Poseidon Island, their duty was to protect the safety of the island and prevent the invasion of outsiders.
“Answer my question, why did you invade Poseidon Island!” A tall man stepped forward, and three spirit rings lit up on his body. When they were patrolling earlier, they heard the roar of the island sharks and immediately rushed over to investigate. What surprised them was that the group of people were not killed by the island sharks, but easily landed on Poseidon Island. They were full of vigilance against the appearance of Jiang Han and his apprentice, and worried that it was an enemy attack.
“Take me to see your chief priest.” With his observation Haki, Jiang Han had already locked onto Poseidon’s location. But in order to express his goodwill, he did not lead Tang San and his men directly into the Seagod Temple, but politely asked the soldiers to lead the team. He hoped to communicate with the top leaders of Seagod Island in a peaceful way so that his disciples could smoothly carry out their training journey.
“How ridiculous! Can you see the High Priest whenever you want?” The tall man in the lead shouted, his voice full of disdain and arrogance, as if it was ridiculous for Jiang Han and his disciples to ask to see the High Priest. Then he glanced at the people around him and said, “These guys broke into the Sea God Island without permission. Tie them up and throw them into the sea prison. Deacon Lan will deal with them!” He gave the order decisively. In his opinion, these outsiders who broke into the Sea God Island without following the rules should be severely punished.
“Master, there’s no need for you to take action against these guys!” Looking at the gathered soldiers from Poseidon Island, Jiang Han, Dai Mubai and the others took a step forward. The gravel under their feet made a hissing sound, as if their footsteps also carried an invisible momentum, wanting to compete with these soldiers who were blocking them.
“Don’t waste your time on them.”
As Jiang Han finished speaking, his eyes suddenly focused. In an instant, the air seemed to freeze. With Jiang Han as the center, ripples appeared in the void. The ripples were like ripples on a calm lake when a stone was thrown into it, slowly spreading out in all directions. Wherever the ripples passed, the soldiers of Poseidon Island who came forward fell to the ground. Their eyes were empty, their bodies were stiff, and their mouths were wide open as if they were frightened. They didn’t even have time to react before they were instantly restrained by this mysterious force and lost consciousness.
“Master is amazing!” Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun glanced at the motionless soldier on the ground, their eyes filled with astonishment. They only knew that this was Jiang Han’s masterpiece, but they didn’t know how Jiang Han did it. In their eyes, the master’s methods were always so mysterious, and every time he made a move, he could easily resolve the predicament in front of him, which made them both surprised and admired.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Xiao Wu’s expressions did not change much. After all, they had seen Jiang Han’s method in the Slaughter City, killing people without form. They already had a certain understanding of Jiang Han’s strength, so although they were still in awe of their master’s strength, they did not show too much surprise like the other three.
“What did you do to them?”
The tall man glanced at his unconscious companion, looked at Jiang Han in horror, and took a step back involuntarily. His eyes were filled with fear and confusion. He didn’t understand what Jiang Han had done to make these well-trained soldiers fall to the ground in an instant. “You outsiders who invaded the Sea God Island will be punished by the Great Priest!” Although he was afraid in his heart, he still forced himself to say these words, trying to intimidate Jiang Han and others.
“Forget it. Since your way of hospitality is to tie people up, I’ll save myself the trouble.”
Jiang Han’s mouth inexplicably raised an arc, and the smile seemed to carry a hint of helplessness or ridicule for the soldiers’ behavior. Then he spread out his right hand, and a dazzling white light ball gathered in his palm. To be precise, it was a white metal ball. The metal ball slowly gathered in his palm, emitting a cold and mysterious light, as if it contained endless energy.
call out!
When the white light ball was about the size of a football, Jiang Han threw it casually, and it appeared above the forest with a sound of breaking through the air. It streaked across the sky like a meteor, and in the blink of an eye it reached the designated location, hovering there, emitting a frightening light.
Poseidon Island, Poseidon Temple.
“Lan Mei, what happened on the sea just now? The energy of the explosion actually made my heart palpitate.” Poseidon held the scepter, recalling the terrifying fluctuations from the sea before, and frowned. Her eyes were full of concern and confusion. As the chief worshiper of Poseidon Island, she was extremely concerned about any abnormal situation around the sea, especially this kind of powerful energy fluctuation that could cause her palpitations.
“Great Priest, when I rushed over, the energy had already subsided.” The blue-clothed woman named Lan Mei pursed her lips, took a deep breath and said, “All I saw was a sea stained with blood. From the breath, I can be sure that the blood belongs to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.” There was a hint of helplessness in her tone. She felt a little regretful that she did not witness the event that caused the energy fluctuation with her own eyes.
“What? Someone actually hurt the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!” Hearing Lan Mei’s words, Poseidon’s expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She knew very well how powerful the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was. It was the overlord of the ocean for 990,000 years, and it was almost impossible to find an opponent in the entire ocean.
She guessed that the previous ocean energy fluctuations were related to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. After all, in her opinion, the only one who could mobilize such terrifying ocean power in the entire ocean was this 990,000-year-old ocean overlord. Before, she thought that the other party was just complaining because he could not become a god; but who would have thought that it was actually fighting, and was defeated! This news was so unexpected that it was difficult for her to accept it for a while.
“Who could it be?” Poseidon frowned more and more. She knew the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King better than anyone else. Even with the blessing of the power of the Sea God, she could only tie with him. After all, he was only one step away from becoming a true god. She really couldn’t think of anyone who could hurt this ocean overlord. Could it be that there was an even more terrifying existence in the depths of the ocean? Or, the man who left a few years ago really returned as a 100-level god? Thinking of this possibility, Poseidon’s body trembled with excitement, and her cheeks flushed. She had a special feeling for that man in her heart. If he really came back, it would be an extremely important thing for her. Boom!
At this moment, accompanied by a loud bang, the wildly shaking Poseidon Temple brought Poseidon’s thoughts back to reality.
“what happened!”
Poseidon and Lan Mei appeared outside the hall in an instant, staring at the explosion, their pupils suddenly shrank. Their eyes were filled with shock and worry, wondering what this sudden explosion was and whether it would have a serious impact on Poseidon Island.
I saw a dazzling light shining above the forest at the easternmost part of the island, closest to the coast. In the light, terrifying energy dissipated, and the trees below turned into nothingness. The light was as dazzling as the sun, but the energy it emitted was extremely dangerous, ruthlessly destroying everything around it.
Even though they were several miles apart, some buildings around the Sea God Temple were still affected, with debris flying everywhere. The aftermath of the explosion spread like a surging tide, causing nearby buildings to be shaken and in ruins.
“Go and have a look.” Poseidon frowned, and as soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot. She moved very quickly and rushed to the place where the explosion occurred in an instant, eager to find out what happened.
Right below the explosion, the tall man collapsed to the ground, staring at Jiang Han with fear in his eyes. The forest behind him had completely disappeared under the destruction of the terrible aftermath, leaving only a large open space without any birds or animals. The forest that was once full of vitality was now barren, as if it had been completely washed away by a disaster.
shhhhhhhh!
Just as the tall man looked terrified and at a loss, several long rainbows swept in from all directions of Sea God Island and landed behind him. These people were all deacons or strong men of Sea God Island. After hearing the commotion here, they all rushed over to check the situation.
Seeing the man behind him clearly, the tall man immediately disappeared. (The original text here seems incomplete, it is speculated that it may be a typo or something like that. The following continues to be written based on reasonable speculation)
Seeing the man behind him clearly, the tall man immediately got up from the ground, the fear between his brows disappeared, and his face was filled with joy. He seemed to have seen a savior, knowing that with the arrival of these strong men, the current situation might be able to be controlled.
“Great Priest, these people have trespassed into Poseidon Island…” The tall man bowed deeply to Poseidon, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party, who then respectfully stepped aside. He knew very well that at this time, he only needed to briefly explain the situation, and the specific handling would still have to be left to the Great Priest to decide.
“Who are you? Why are you here on Sea God Island?” Poseidon’s eyes fell on Jiang Han. Although she looked calm on the surface, her heart was in turmoil. With her strength, she couldn’t even detect any fluctuations in the other person’s soul power. This made her both surprised and alert. Facing such a mysterious person, she didn’t dare to be careless.
Lan Mei and the deacons of Poseidon Island, who were standing behind Poseidon, looked at Poseidon with some surprise. They knew their great priest too well. Although he was very kind to the people of Poseidon Island, he would never tolerate the invaders. Under normal circumstances, with Poseidon’s temper, she would just imprison and throw the invaders into the sea prison. A few years ago, when the Spirit Hall invaded, she even killed the two Title Douluo of the other side with strong means, and frightened the Spirit Hall so much that they dared not invade Poseidon Island again for many years. But now, their great priest has changed his usual behavior and calmly asked the purpose of the invaders, which is completely inconsistent with the other party’s style! They were full of doubts and didn’t understand why the great priest had such a change.
“My purpose this time is to bring my seven disciples here for training.” Jiang Han stood with his hands behind his back, looking directly at Poseidon, his expression unchanged. His tone was calm and firm, as if he was just stating something very ordinary, without any fear of Poseidon’s identity or the majesty of Poseidon Island.
“Just a training?” Poseidon frowned slightly. “Although my Poseidon Island does not welcome inland people very much, if there are inland people coming, we will also welcome them politely. Over the years, many inland people have passed the assessment of my Poseidon Island and become citizens of Poseidon Island.” There was a hint of helplessness in her words. Although Poseidon Island’s attitude towards outsiders is relatively conservative, it is not completely exclusive. As long as they follow the rules, they can still be accepted.
At this point, Poseidon’s face darkened: “Since the right path has been opened for you inland people, why don’t you go there, but instead invade from the outside? Don’t you understand the rules of my Poseidon Island?” There was dissatisfaction and questioning in her eyes. She believed that Jiang Han and others were disrespecting the rules of Poseidon Island by not taking the normal channels to enter Poseidon Island.
“I’m in a hurry, that’s all.” Jiang Han’s robe fluttered in the wind, with a faint smile on his lips. If he really went through the regular channels to enter the Sea God Island, the series of inspections and queues alone would be very troublesome. His answer was concise and clear. Although the reason sounded a bit casual, it was indeed his true thought. He just wanted to bring his disciples here to train as soon as possible and didn’t want to waste too much time on those cumbersome procedures.
“Is time running out?” Poseidon shouted softly while holding the scepter, his voice full of dissatisfaction and questioning, “Is this the reason why you invaded my Poseidon Island? You really don’t take us seriously!” Her eyes were full of anger. She thought that Jiang Han’s casual explanation was simply a contempt for Poseidon Island, and he didn’t take the rules and dignity of Poseidon Island to heart at all.
As she spoke, a light blue light shone from Poseidon’s body. As her momentum grew, the light blue gradually turned into a dark blue. The light was like the deep ocean, emitting a powerful and mysterious aura, as if the power of the entire ocean was gathered in one body. Her strength was also displayed without reservation at this moment. (End of this chapter)
