Chapter 10: Master and Apprentice

Ordinary soul masters may not understand the meaning of condensing soul rings on their own, nor will they understand the essential difference between different soul ring levels, but Bo Saixi understands.

Because she herself is the beneficiary of the God-given Soul Ring, and she even has a 100,000-year-level Ninth Soul Ring.

Not only her, but anyone who has accepted the assessment of the sea god and above the black level can have a chance to obtain the god-given soul ring when they reach the bottleneck for the first time.

And the effect of this god-given soul ring is to be able to give them the soul skills they need most, as well as the maximum level soul ring they can bear.

As soon as the palm of her hand flipped over, a golden orb appeared in her palm the next moment.

The golden beads seem to be carved from the most precious golden crystal, and they are immaculate. In the center of the bead, there was also a faint layer of golden mist that was constantly fluctuating, just like the golden mist that appeared around Su Cheng's body when he was under the pressure of the Seagod's Light.

Bo Saixi looked at the beads in his hand and was stunned.

This golden bead, which looks crystal clear and round, is the carrier of the god-given soul ring.

However, the core of the God-given soul ring lies in the word "God-given", and if you want to use the God-given soul ring, only this bead is not enough, you need to accept the test of the sea god.

Without being given a black-level test, this god-given soul ring is just a condensed soul power in the final analysis, and it has no effect on the soul master's condensation of the soul ring.

Pursing his lips, Bo Saixi put away the beads and stared at Su Cheng on the mountainside.

At this time, Su Cheng's soul power was surging like the waves of the sea, although he was only a newcomer to the Soul Saint, the aura he exuded was not much inferior to that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.

The scarlet seventh soul ring under his feet is even more gorgeous and breathtaking.

"One hundred thousand year soul ring, and it's also the seventh soul ring."

Bo Saixi sighed, looking inexplicable.

Although the matter of condensing the soul ring is also very mysterious, there are always people who can do it.

For example, after the transformation of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the bottleneck of each tenth level in the early cultivation process is to condense the soul ring by itself to break through, and there is no need to kill the soul beast.

But even those shape-shifting soul beasts, after cultivating to level seventy and reaching maturity, if they want to continue to advance, they still need to obtain soul rings from soul beasts.

And the soul ring has reached the level of 100,000 years, and it contains a power that is completely different from the 10,000-year soul ring, which is a qualitative change.

This can be seen only from the soul ring skill.

Whether it is the lowest level of white soul ring or the 10,000-year black soul ring, they are all treated equally, and only one soul skill can be given to the soul master, but when it reaches the level of a 100,000-year soul ring, it is two soul skills.

It didn't take too long for Su Cheng to complete the breakthrough, and his aura was all converged, without the previous sense of impetuousness.

Looking at the disciple who was walking towards him, Bo Saixi said softly, "You are really different. ”

At this time, her emotions seemed to have completely calmed down, at least on the surface, she couldn't see the shock and surprise she had just seen.

"How did you do that? Why was he able to condense a 100,000-year seventh soul ring by himself and complete the breakthrough? ”

"Perception." Su Cheng's expression was also a little dazed, and he said slowly, "Just now in the light of the sea god, I suddenly felt the true meaning of the sea, and I had a deeper understanding of the will of the sea god. I felt I could break through, so I did it, and I succeeded. ”

"Is that so...... Is it the approval of the Poseidon? Bo Saixi frowned.

If this is the case, why has the sea god never sent down any oracles for so many years.

As the high priestess of the sea god, she didn't know that the sea god's light still had this effect.

There have been no such incidents, including in the records left by the previous high priests.

Is it because they are not religious enough?

Bo Saixi looked deeply at his only disciple, probing every subtle change in the other party's expression.

But those eyes that were as clear as the surface of the lake were still as warm and bright as ever, and there was not a trace of variegation in them.

At this time, Su Cheng suddenly asked, "Teacher, your strength has become much stronger, right?" ”

"Can you feel it?" Bo Saixi raised an eyebrow, a smile on his face.

Now she does have a lot more flavor than in the past.

"I can't feel it, but I can guess." Su Cheng lied.

"Lord Poseidon looks down on the world, because he is a god, and he has experience and wisdom far beyond mortals.

"But you are different, although you are the high priest of Seagod Island, you are only a stronger soul master, and in terms of life perception, you may not be able to be stronger than those elderly people among ordinary people.

"Over the years, when you have entered the world, you should have a lot of insights, these things that you can't comprehend when you sit in the Sea God Temple."

Bo Saixi was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, "You're right. But do you want to be my teacher? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, just feel it." Su Cheng hurriedly smiled and said, "I am not as talented as you, I was born to be cultivated as the next high priest, so I also have more feelings in this regard." ”

As he spoke, he changed his words, and his voice became serious, "By the way, teacher, I want to leave Poseidon Island." ”

"Leave?" Hearing this, Bo Saixi was stunned for a moment at first, and then his delicate willow eyebrows furrowed a little, and his expression became much more serious.

After many years, the majesty that belonged to the high priest of Poseidon Island on her body was finally revealed again.

"What do you mean by that?" "You're going to be tested in a few months, and this matter is of great importance to you. ”

In her heart, Su Cheng has a good chance to touch the legendary Seagod Nine Exams, and at worst it is the top Seventh or Eighth Exam, and he can take over the position of High Priest in the future.

Although if someone really accepts the Poseidon Nine Exams, it means that she has few lives. Her belief in the god of the sea and her nostalgia for life also made her both eager and afraid of this matter.

But if that person was Su Cheng, she was willing to pay the price.

Su Cheng smiled, and did not rush to convince the other party, but asked, "Teacher, the highest difficulty of the Seagod test is not the top eight test, right?" ”

"How do you know?" Bo Saixi's face was slightly pale and a little surprised.

Su Cheng had no reason to know about the Seagod Nine Test, but what the other party said was surprisingly accurate.

After thinking about it for a while, she still said in a deep voice, "Since you can feel this, why do you still want to leave Seagod Island?" ”

Su Cheng nodded and looked at her, "Then please tell me, if I really touch the top level assessment, what about you, what will it mean to you?" ”

"You...... What does that mean. A hint of panic flashed in Bo Saixi's eyes.

"Meaning, I don't think that assessment is that simple. In other words, the nature of that assessment is different from that of ordinary assessments. When the time comes, not only me, but you will also pay the corresponding price, maybe for cultivation, maybe for life. ”

“…… Can you feel that too? Bo Saixi did not try to deny it again.

She sighed lightly, avoided Su Cheng's gaze, and turned to look at the not tall top of Seagod Mountain behind her.

There, the noble and sacred temple of the sea god stands majestically as it did thousands of years ago.

Su Cheng also followed her gaze and said softly, "I didn't feel anything, this is just a reasonable speculation." As the high priest of Poseidon Island, he has obtained countless benefits in the Poseidon test, and his status is extremely noble, but he has almost nothing to do on weekdays, which is a bit unreasonable. To protect Seagod Island, it is enough to have the Seven Holy Pillars and the Holy Pillar Douluo. Lord Poseidon doesn't need anyone to serve you, and in that case, there must be a greater mission waiting for you. ”

Bo Saixi was stunned and turned his head to look at the young man beside him.

The young man has delicate eyebrows and a soft expression. The appearance of that child seems to be still vivid, as if in a blink of an eye, he has grown into a young man who is nearly eighteen years old, and his height is much taller than her.

She didn't expect that the other party would think so deeply.

What do these things have to do with him? Is it because of the love between master and apprentice?

But he obviously never taught him anything, but he benefited a lot from the other party.

After a moment of silence, Bo Saixi said calmly: "Those things are not something you should consider. Even if it costs something, it's not a reason for me to run away, let alone a reason for you to run away. What about your belief in the god of the sea? How can you hold back because of these things? ”

"Hehe......" At this time, Su Cheng suddenly chuckled.

The voice is clear, with a hint of relaxation and pleasure.

"What are you laughing at?" Bo Saixi frowned, suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and asked coldly.

"Teacher, you still don't understand." Su Cheng turned around and looked directly at her.

"It's not a retreat, it's a choice, and I have the right to choose my life and my future.

"Believers are human beings, and I am human beings, and human beings will have selfish intentions. I also have things that I want to keep, and there are times when I want to give up.

"The sea should be free and vast, and it should not bind anyone. Including me, and including you.

"Lord Poseidon never forced his followers, even if it was an eighteen-year-old test, he never forced anyone to participate, did he?"

"You!" When Bo Saixi heard this, a sudden surge of anger surged in his heart, and his face also turned red because of anger.

He reprimanded with hatred: "Do you know what you're talking about?!" ”

"Of course I do." Su Cheng nodded seriously, "This is something I have long made up my mind about, and you can't persuade me." ”

Looking at his serious face, Bo Saixi couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart.

Perhaps it was because of Su Cheng's previous behavior of condensing the 100,000-year soul ring on her own, which shook the inherent concept she had established over the years of cultivation.

Or maybe because after so many years, the full expectations accumulated by Su Cheng have been disappointed, and the psychological gap is too big.

It is also possible that because of the reasons and words said by the other party, she has mixed emotions in her heart and mixed feelings.

In short, at this time, she was turbulent on the heart lake, even if she had been sitting in the Sea God Temple for many years, and the Tao after refining her heart in the world, it was a little difficult to press.

For a moment, his chest rose and fell violently, drawing a seductive arc, and his eyes were mixed with anger, disappointment, dazedness, helplessness and many other lights.

After a long time, she gradually calmed down and looked at Su Cheng, "Su Cheng, don't be too arrogant. Maybe you'll only be a black-level examiner by then? Are you so pretentious that you feel like the only person in the 10,000 years since the establishment of Poseidon Island? ”

"Of course, that's also very likely." Su Cheng didn't defend either, smiling.

"Teacher, I didn't make this decision just because of you.

"Outside Poseidon Island, there are so many devout followers of Poseidon. On the continent across the sea from Poseidon Island, there are still so many ordinary people who are lost.

"Didn't you know more than ten years ago, my wish is to spread the glory of the sea god. The brilliance of the Poseidon should not be confined to the vicinity of Poseidon Island.

"And I want to experience more of it myself."

"......" After hearing this, Bo Saixi's eyes sank slightly, "Whatever you want, anyway, for so many years, you have never really regarded me as your teacher." ”

Su Cheng didn't care about her angry words, and continued: "Teacher, tell me about the assessment, the assessment that is higher than the top eight exams." ”

"......" Bo Saixi restrained his emotions when he heard this, and then began to explain patiently.

Perhaps in her heart, there was still a glimmer of hope that Su Cheng would be able to stay and accept the test.

"That test, called the Seagod Nine Test, is a test that can help mortals become gods.

"Remember when I told you about the experience of the sea god? In fact, there is another shortcut to becoming a god, and that is to get the approval of the gods of the ancestors and inherit the existing gods.

"God does not die, but after becoming a god, he can only exist in this world for a hundred years, and then he must leave this world. I don't know where the Poseidon has gone, but before he left, I left some of my thoughts behind.

"Because their godhood is still in our world. When someone can be fully approved by them, and then through a special way, there is the possibility of inheriting the throne of God and becoming a god again.

"For the soul masters of the world, if they want to achieve the goal of becoming a god at the hundredth level, there are only these two paths. Comparatively speaking, the second path is much easier than becoming a god alone.

"If you can get the Poseidon Nine Exam, it means that you have become the one chosen by the Poseidon Lord. And when you pass the Poseidon Nine Exams, it is the time when you inherit the Poseidon throne and become a new generation of Poseidon and control the thousands of people of the sea. ”

After finishing speaking, Bo Saixi stared at Su Cheng with her eyes as deep as the sea, "Knowing this, do you still want to give up?" ”

"Of course."

Although she thought of this answer, she was still a little stunned, "You don't want to become a god?" ”

Su Cheng didn't answer this question, and instead asked, "What is the price of the Seagod Nine Exam?" No, what I want to ask is, what will you have to pay at that time. ”

"......" Bo Saixi hesitated a little, but finally turned his gaze away from his gaze and sighed lightly: "Sacrifice." ”

"Sacrifice life? Then I don't want to be a god. ”

Bo Saixi turned his head and looked at him in a daze.

Su Cheng turned to leave Seagod Mountain, his voice echoing in Bo Saixi's ears.

"I want the teacher to live."
