Chapter 656: First Meeting with Poseixi

"A bit troublesome..."

Thrusting the spear out, although in Qin Jian's eyes, it was Hailong Douluo's counterattack that rendered his own attack ineffective.

But he immediately reacted, realizing this was an illusion.

Because all the feedback from the impact was mental, completely inconsistent with the feedback from the Silver Dragon Spear.

Without needing Na'er to remind him, he could detect the anomaly from the feedback of the Artifact.

"Hum."

The Ocean's Tear on his forehead flashed with light; while resisting the attack, he swept his peripheral vision downward, only to see that there was no light at all on Ning Rongrong's forehead.

Thus, Qin Jian became even more certain that everything he saw had turned into an illusion, a real spatial illusion.

"This is..."

At the Sea God Hall, Poseixi stared blankly at the water-blue radiance that suddenly lit up on the foreheads of Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong simultaneously; clearly, there was no fluctuation in her heart, but just...

Suddenly, tears flowed down.

Clear tears streaked across her cheeks, falling drop by drop into the clouds.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with a wry smile: "Strange... why did I cry..."

Unfortunately, the tears just wouldn't stop; a massive sense of sorrow filled her soul at this moment, just like a regret from a past life, just like that, piercing her heart like a sharp arrow...

"No matter what... at least... at least..."

She looked at Qin Jian's figure with tear-blurred eyes, her murmurs seeming to come from the depths of her Spirit.

"At least in this life... must live happily..."

The murmuring ceased, and Poseixi stared blankly at her hands, looking at those hands wet with tears.

"Is it a regret from a past life?"

"Must live happily in this life..."

"How should I live it..."

In the depths of her Spirit, a consciousness asked her: "What have you done in this life? Is it nothing but faith? Faith can make you peaceful, make you worry-free, but..."

"Can faith make you have no regrets?"

Poseixi shuddered, and many distant memories came flooding back.

Those youthful aspirations, and the beauty that gradually faded away on the path of pursuit.

"So, for the sake of faith, have I already abandoned so much?"

Her beautiful eyes slightly red, she looked at Qin Jian: "What about him? That person I waited for a lifetime, will he be a regret?"

"Boom!"

A vortex suddenly lit up in the clouds.

In the intense battle below, the Eighth Soul Ring on Qin Jian's body flashed suddenly.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Holy Light Protection!"

The holy light descended like a waterfall, forming a barrier around Qin Jian.

"Thump! Thump!"

The attacks from Hailong Douluo and Haihuan Douluo landed on the holy light waterfall, as if melted, directly dissolved by the current of holy light.

"Not good! The real illusion has been broken!"

Haihuan Douluo exclaimed: "His soul skill broke through the maximum influence range of the Domain and shattered the barrier from the outside!"

"Cannot break through from the inside, so use external interference? The idea is standard, but the mental control power displayed in this is very impressive..."

Poseixi whispered to herself: "Level 93 soul power, equivalent to at least level 97 strength, only just 20 years old after taking human form..."

"Holy Sword Slash!"

Just at this moment, the magnificent holy light gathered around Qin Jian, as if he himself had turned into a holy sword.

"Careful!"

Seeing that terrifying giant sword sweeping over, Hailong Douluo and Haihuan Douluo felt their hair stand on end, and without thinking, they immediately used their strongest defenses.

"Boom boom!"

The intense holy light flow exploded within the illusory sea dragon and the vast illusion domain, dyeing the entire sky the color of holy light.

Being forced to use his Eighth Soul Skill was, in Qin Jian's view, quite a failure.

But in the eyes of Xiaobai and the injured Hainv Douluo and the others, Qin Jian's suppression this time stunned everyone.

After all, he was facing a siege by seven Title Douluo!

To be so at ease, doesn't that mean his true strength is already approaching the level of Poseixi?

"Please show mercy..."

Just as Qin Jian was preparing to stop, a leisurely voice came from afar.

This voice was beautiful and pleasant, as if coming from beyond the heavens, yet filled with a gentle tone.

The voice traveled from far to near, and when the last word entered Qin Jian's ears, a red speck of light in the distance slowly enlarged.

Qin Jian sensed that the space seemed to twist slightly, and the next moment, there was already someone in front of him.

"Hum!"

As if ocean waves were swirling around her, slowly, they stirred Qin Jian's holy light sword flow into pieces, Devouring all the aftermath, without accidentally injuring anyone else.

Qin Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up.

Her height appeared half a head shorter than his, and her entire body was shrouded in a form-fitting bright red robe.

Sea-blue long hair draped behind her, reaching almost to the ground when spread out.

Her soft, beautiful face looked to be only in her twenties; her beauty came from her temperament, from that noble elegance and warm gentleness.

In her right hand, she held a Scepter three meters long.

The Scepter was golden, just like the gold that had appeared in the sky a moment ago.

Its entire body was carved with magic patterns, and at the head of the staff was a diamond-shaped protrusion resembling a spear.

Five inches below the tip of that spear, a diamond-shaped golden gemstone was embedded.

If one were to judge solely by appearance, she was undoubtedly a rare beauty.

Moreover, her temperament was almost incomparable, on par with Bibi Dong.

What was most surprising, however, were her eyes; those clear blue orbs were deeper than the ocean, and the gentle vicissitudes within them seemed to have weathered eternal ages.

How could such eyes possibly belong to a woman in her twenties?

"Greetings, High Priest!"

The seven Title Douluo, including Hailong, along with Xiaobai, bowed slightly to pay their respects to Poseixi.

"No need for formalities."

Poseixi smiled slightly.

The Sea within the Sea seemed to ripple gently because of her smile.

"You..."

Qin Jian and she spoke almost at the same time, then both paused, closing their mouths and falling into silence.

"You..."

Poseixi lowered her eyes somewhat unnaturally: "Can you tell me... your origins?"

Inexplicably, Qin Jian suddenly felt the awkwardness of a blind date.

So, what is the first secret of a blind date?

Confidence!

He raised his eyes, his gaze circling her face, which was as gentle as water, before finally focusing on the bridge of her high nose.

Letting one's gaze fall on this spot makes the other person feel like you are looking into their eyes, while at the same time, you won't feel nervous from making direct eye contact.

"Land Spirit Master, Humanoid Spirit Beast from the Star Dou Great Forest, Soul Beast King, Spirit Hall Chief Judge, Commander of the Spirit Hall Guard, Dean of Spirit Hall Academy, Honorary Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..."

Qin Jian finished in one breath: "Mm, that's about it."

Poseixi: "..."

"And the fiancé of the Tiandou Nuhuang," Ning Rongrong said from below, arms crossed.

"Right," Xiao Wu immediately followed up: "And the brother and lover of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Xiao Wu from the Star Dou Great Forest."

Qin Jian: "..."

Poseixi: "???"

"The man fought over by the master and disciple of the Spirit Hall Pope and the Angel Diguo Nühuang."

"The man of the head of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire."

"Oh right, and the man coveted by the daughter of the Blazing Academy Dean and the big sister of Tianshui Academy!"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu sang in harmony, their words hitting Qin Jian one after another like arrows, *pfft, pfft, pfft*.
