Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the moment Xiao Wu's hand touched the cold shaft of the Trident of the Sea God, a sudden change occurred.

There was no earth-shattering energy collision as expected, nor did the terrifying weight of 108,000 jin press down.

Buzz—

A soft, ancient sound echoed gently within the hall.

Suddenly, the trident mark of the sea god on Xiao Wu's forehead shone brightly!

A beam of pure golden divine light shot out and landed precisely on the main blade of the trident.

Immediately afterwards, the Heart of the Ocean within her body seemed to be summoned, transforming into a stream of azure light that spiraled upwards.

At the same time, the power originating from the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which is the Heart of the Sea God, also surged into the Trident without reservation within Xiao Wu's body!

Golden light, blue light, and an invisible, powerful divine thought converged on the trident of the sea god.

That divine artifact, which had been dormant for who knows how long, came to life at this moment!

The intricate magical runes on the halberd lit up one by one, and the golden light was no longer the lifeless metallic color, but a radiance full of life and spirituality.

The entire temple of Poseidon trembled, the reliefs on the walls seemed to break free of their restraints, and the sea outside the temple surged with towering waves, yet were gently soothed by an invisible force.

"rise!"

Xiao Wu let out a delicate shout and slightly tightened her arms.

To the astonishment of Hailong Douluo and the others, the legendary Trident of the Sea God, weighing 108,000 jin and unshakeable without divine power, was easily pulled from its base by a petite girl.

The entire process was smooth and effortless, without the slightest hesitation or strain.

The feeling was not like pulling out a divine weapon heavier than a mountain, but rather like drawing a handy longsword from its sheath.

"This...how is this possible?!"

Seahorse Douluo cried out in shock, his voice trembling.

One hundred and eight thousand catties!

This number, like a curse, has lingered in the hearts of the Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo for countless years.

But now, it's as light as a feather in the hands of a twelve-year-old girl.

Poseidon's red lips, hidden beneath her veil, parted slightly, her eyes filled with undisguised shock.

She understood better than anyone how difficult it was to pull out the trident.

She murmured to herself, her voice so soft that only she could hear it: "The Heart of the Sea God as the guide, the Heart of the Ocean as the key, the Light of the Sea God as the medium... So that's it, this is true recognition..."

Ning Liu stood in the crowd, a knowing smile on his face.

This is the kind of prestige a successor to the Sea God should have!

However, the changes on the field were not yet over.

A light suddenly shone from a groove beneath the main blade of the Trident of Poseidon!

In an instant, the entire Trident of Poseidon shone brightly, and an aura far more magnificent, majestic, and powerful than before soared into the sky, almost lifting the dome of the Temple of Poseidon!

The once dull main blade became incomparably sharp at this moment, with golden light flowing around it.

"So beautiful..."

Xiao Wu held the restored Trident of Poseidon aloft, the golden artifact making her small figure appear incredibly sacred.

She could clearly feel a sense of closeness, a connection to her blood, emanating from the trident, as if it were a part of her body.

At that very moment, that grand and majestic voice once again resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

[Poseidon's Nine Trials, Seventh Trial: Pull out the divine weapon, Poseidon's Trident. Complete.]

[Because the inheritor gathered the Heart of the Ocean and the Heart of the Sea God, perfectly awakening and repairing the Trident of the Sea God, they exceeded the test requirements.]

[Reward: The Trident of Poseidon has been recognized as a master.]

[Reward: Poseidon's affinity increased to 100%!]

As soon as she finished speaking, a golden beam of light, thicker and more dazzling than ever before, descended from the sky, completely enveloping Xiao Wu, who was holding a trident.

If the previous rewards were flowing gold, then this time, they are solidified divine crystals!

However, this time, Xiao Wu's soul power level did not increase.

All the energy transformed into the most primordial divine thought, merging into her soul and the trident in her hand.

At this moment, the connection between Xiao Wu and the Trident of Poseidon is unbreakable!

But none of that matters anymore.

Everyone's mind went blank from that last sentence.

Poseidon's affinity...100%?!

"One hundred...one hundred?"

Sea Dragon Douluo's lips trembled; he could hardly believe his ears.

what does that mean?

This means that from this moment on, Xiao Wu is the spokesperson for the Sea God's will on Earth.

Her will, in some way, is equivalent to the will of the sea god?!

Poseidon's body swayed almost imperceptibly.

Logically, a 100% affinity rating should be achieved by the end of the ninth exam...

But Xiao Wu passed the seventh test perfectly?

What... what's the point of testing this?

...

Meanwhile, in the distant realm of the gods.

A man with long, sea-blue hair was rubbing his temples, looking somewhat troubled.

"That Shura guy still has that deadpan face. Discussing anything with him is more tiring than fighting a battle of gods."

He is one of the masters of this divine realm, the sea god.

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly from his throne, his face showing an expression of extreme astonishment.

"Um?!"

A vast and pure power of faith, mixed with a perfect and flawless feedback from inheritance, surged up from the lower realm.

"What happened?"

With a thought, the sea god summoned a giant water mirror before him.

The water mirror showed the progress of his divine power inheritance left in Douluo Continent.

"Seventh test...passed? So fast?" Hai

God raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but still within acceptable limits.

But when he saw the detailed information below, he was completely dumbfounded.

"The Trident of Poseidon recognizes its master... The Heart of the Ocean returns to its place... The artifact is fully repaired..."

He read it aloud word by word, his voice rising higher and higher until it was almost a shout.

"One hundred percent affinity with Poseidon?!"

"Are you kidding me!"

The sea god paced back and forth in his temple like a mortal, his long, sea-blue hair almost disheveled from his own stroking.

"What did this soul beast named Xiao Wu do? It's only the seventh trial and her affinity is already maxed out?!"

"So, I can't even decide who I want to pass my divine position to?"

The more the sea god thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He pointed at the water mirror, looking frantic.

"No, something bad is going to happen, I have to go check it out!"
