Chapter 323 Poseidon's Crushing Defeat
The realm of the gods, the temple of the sea god.
The Sea God and the Asura God were still sitting together, but the Sea God's expression seemed rather grim.
Originally, according to the Asura God's plan, the Sea God was just using Poseidon to teach Yang Podi a lesson, and at the same time make him understand the huge gap between gods and humans, and also make him understand the difference between the application of divine power and soul power.
But who would have thought that Yang Podi was even stronger than everyone imagined? After such a long battle, Yang Podi's soul power was unfathomable, and his recovery speed was extremely fast.
What surprised the two even more was that when Yang Podi made his final desperate gamble, even the Sea God's Golden Thirteen Halberds, which harnessed the power of the sea, were thwarted.
If Poseidon hadn't reacted quickly enough and been strong enough, and if Yang Podi hadn't held back a bit at the last moment, Yang Podi's final move, the Sun Shooting after the Ring Explosion, might have instantly killed Poseidon, and even Poseidon himself felt immense pressure.
The Sea God looked at the Asura God with an unusually gloomy expression: "Asura God, you've been a bit unfair this time. To test Yang Podi's full strength and to hone this kid, you made me use too much of my faith power. You have to compensate me."
The Asura God's face remained expressionless: "This time I miscalculated. I didn't expect this kid to improve so much, especially when he went all in; his strength was actually much stronger than I imagined."
The Sea God asked, somewhat puzzled, "God of Asura, from any perspective, this kid already possesses the strength of an ordinary god. Are you still planning to let him slowly participate in the divine trials on Douluo Star?"
The Asura God thought carefully before speaking: "Things have come to this point. He can complete the remaining tests in at most two years. It is unlikely that he will cause any more trouble for the tests. However, I still feel that he is lacking in temperament. At least he still lacks that decisiveness in killing."
Poseidon was speechless upon hearing this: "Shura, aren't you overthinking this? In terms of both temperament and strength, I think he's pretty much there. Especially since this kid is decisive in killing enemies and does his best to protect his own people. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"
The Asura God finally sighed: "That's true, but you should also know that the various forces within the God Realm are complex and intertwined, and the five God Kings have different stances. Although Yang Podi is excellent in many ways, I haven't seen him have any ambition, nor have I seen him be decisive in facing difficulties."
"As the enforcer of the divine realm, the Asura God sometimes needs to act impartially, but sometimes he cannot be too forceful, otherwise the divine realm may be divided."
"Especially you, kid, you haven't offended anyone from beginning to end. You're afraid of taking any responsibility or being retaliated against. You're not qualified to be a law enforcement officer."
Poseidon seemed to have some sympathy for Yang Podi: "Aren't your requirements a bit too strict? This kid is, after all, just a young man in his twenties. Under his leadership, Tianxing Academy has gradually grown. Sometimes, for the sake of the family's safety, he inevitably hides his talents and is also prone to some scheming."
Hearing this, the Asura God remained silent, quietly drinking his wine. After an unknown amount of time, he finally spoke: "Perhaps I have set my expectations too high for him. As an enforcer of the divine realm, one needs to abandon all constraints, be ruthless, and even more so, take extreme measures to resolve matters, just like I was back then."
The Sea God was puzzled by this: "Isn't Yang Podi's cautious personality a good thing? If he becomes the new Asura God, the God Realm might be more stable."
The Asura God nodded: "This kid is indeed stable enough, you could even say he's as immovable as a mountain. I'm just worried that he'll be too stable in the future and not ambitious enough."
The sea god was immediately alarmed: "Are you worried that he will clash with evil and destruction in the future, and that things will not end well?"
A cold glint suddenly appeared on the Asura God's face: "Fine, this kid will have to make a choice eventually. I'll see how he chooses for the sixth trial!"
The sea god seemed to understand the Asura god's decision, but remained silent.
Douluo Star, above Seagod Island.
Poseidon seemed to have regained her senses and understood the outcome of the battle.
Poseidon could only manage a bitter smile. He hadn't expected there to be such a huge gap between his strength and Yang Podi's. If it weren't for the arrival of the Sea God, and if Yang Podi hadn't shown mercy in his final move, he probably would have perished long ago.
"Yang Podi, you win. I didn't expect your strength to have increased to this extent in such a short time. It seems that I have been arrogant all along."
Yang Podi's expression remained calm: "Senior, you flatter me. I was just lucky this time."
Poseidon seemed to have thought of something: "Yang Podi, I know that your strength has surpassed mine. Could you please not make things difficult for Tang San in the future? After all, he is my friend's junior."
Yang Podi sneered, "Senior's words are quite interesting. What exactly is the connection between me and Tang San from beginning to end? Who started all this conflict? As the High Priest of the Sea God, can you truly be fair and just, both to me and to Tian Yue?"
Poseidon's face was ashen: "I really can't be fair and impartial. Tang San is, after all, a descendant of Tang Chen, and I still think of our old friendship."
Yang Podi thought for a long time and finally sighed: "Senior, if you want Tang San to live a peaceful life, it is best to leave Tang San on Seagod Island. If you really let him return to the mainland, the consequences will be unpredictable. After all, Tang San is also a thorn in the side of Bibi Dong and the others."
Throughout the entire process, Yang Podi did not say what he would do in the future, nor did he make any promises. However, Poseidon was very clear that as soon as Tang San left Seagod Island, he would probably face Yang Podi's ruthless methods, and at that time she would be helpless.
As Poseidon's soul power flickered, the blood that had been spitting from her mouth and nose instantly disappeared, and even the blood on her clothes disappeared. She regained her usual elegance and solemnity.
But to her surprise, even with her current strength, the wound on her shoulder pierced by the Soul-Breaking Spear showed no reaction. Clearly, this wound was not so simple, and probably not so easy to heal.
In the end, Poseidon shook his head and returned directly to Poseidon Island.
The people of Poseidon Island were all extremely surprised to see the wound on Poseidon's shoulder, especially the seven holy pillars of Poseidon Island, whose faces turned extremely angry. They never expected that their revered high priest would suffer such a serious injury.
Poseidon glanced at the crowd around him and said, "From now on, the seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island will take turns patrolling the island to prevent any villains from invading."
