"I can feel this powerful aura just by getting close to it."
Long Chen stood a meter away from the Sea God's Trident with a solemn expression.
Taking a deep breath, Long Chen finally reached for the trident.
Hiss!
Just as Long Chen's hand touched the trident, he felt a bone-chilling sensation travel up his arm to his heart.
Long Chen tried to use his strength.
"Rise!"
Long Chen roared and released all his strength.
However, the Neptune's Trident remained motionless.
It didn't seem to be very deep, but it couldn't be pulled out. It was as if the trident weighed millions of pounds.
"Sigh, looks like it failed again."
At this time, the merpeople below also sighed when they saw this.
Even the Mermaid Grandmaster's eyes dimmed. It wasn't easy for a human to appear, but he couldn't help them.
Could it be that they were destined to be trapped here for generations to come?
Long Chen also sighed. He had tried his best.
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand and leave, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind, stopping him in his tracks.
"Ding! Detected that there is a pickable attribute nearby. Would you like to pick it up?"
This was the system's voice. Long Chen hurriedly looked around.
Soon, a ball of light appeared beside Neptune's trident.
The ball of light seemed to be engraved with the trident's mark.
"Pick it up."
Long Chen said in his heart. In the next moment, the system notification sounded again.
"Ding! Pickup successful. Received the Seven Forms of the Sea God."
Seven Forms of the Sea God? What the hell was that?
Long Chen stood in place, stunned. In the eyes of the mermaids below the platform, Long Chen couldn't accept the fact.
"Let it be a failure. We're used to it anyway."
"Yeah, looks like we really have no fate with the outside world."
The mermaids all said. The Mermaid Grandmaster sighed and gently leaped to Long Chen's side.
"Young man, I know you've done your best. It seems like this is fate."
The Mermaid Patriarch also thought that Long Chen was too guilty, so he didn't say a word.
Long Chen suddenly asked.
"Ancestor, do you know of the Seven Forms of the Sea God?"
Weng!
Just as Long Chen said this, the mermaid patriarch suddenly shuddered.
The surrounding seawater trembled violently.
At this moment, her turbid eyes actually flashed with a bright light.
"How do you know about the Seven Forms of the Poseidon?"
The Mermaid Patriarch stared at Long Chen and asked in a serious tone.
"Uh … Well, when I touched the Poseidon's Trident, a memory mysteriously entered my mind. It was the Poseidon's Seven Styles."
Long Chen thought for a while and made up a lie.
And the Mermaid Patriarch did not see any flaws. Of course, perhaps she did, but she did not say it out loud.
She only said with a face full of excitement and doubt.
"According to the words passed down by our ancestors, the Poseidon's Seven Styles is part of the Poseidon's inheritance. It's the technique that made Poseidon famous. But logically speaking, only by pulling out the Poseidon's Trident can one obtain the inheritance. Why …"
The Mermaid Patriarch was both excited and puzzled.
Long Chen smiled bitterly. He could not say that it was because he had the System.
It was probably dropped when he touched the Poseidon's Trident. That meant that Long Chen had the System. Otherwise, no one else would have been able to obtain it.
Under the Mermaid Patriarch's questioning gaze, Long Chen could only change the topic.
"Ancestor, I think I might have a way to pull out the Poseidon's Trident."
Long Chen said. He was not speaking without thinking, because he had just checked out the Poseidon's Seven Styles.
The Poseidon's Seven Styles were actually the seven battle techniques of Poseidon. One of them allowed one to control the weight of the Poseidon's Trident at will.
Thus, under the nervous yet hopeful gazes of the Mermaid Patriarch and the hundreds of thousands of mermen below the stage, Long Chen once again reached for the Poseidon's Trident and grasped it with one hand.
The first thing he felt was the cold, but this time, it was not bone-chilling. Instead, it was a refreshing feeling.
It was like a sudden gust of cool wind on a hot summer day. This feeling was very refreshing.
"Poseidon's Seven Styles, Man and Trident as One!"
"Rise!"
Long Chen roared and directly activated the Poseidon's Seven Styles.
Man and Trident as One could bring his affinity with the Poseidon's Trident to the highest level.
He would be able to control the weight, length, and size of the Poseidon's Trident at will.
Boom!
The Poseidon's Trident rose from the ground. Suddenly, the entire Poseidon Temple trembled violently, and the sea water rippled.
A pillar of energy shot out from the original position of the Poseidon's Trident and into the sky.
The Mermaid Patriarch seemed to have sensed something and looked out of the Poseidon's Temple.
"The enchantment has disappeared!"
The Mermaid Patriarch shouted to the sky. At this moment, all the mermen in the Poseidon's Temple heard the Mermaid Patriarch's voice.
After being stunned for a moment, they all let out excited shouts.
At this time, Long Chen was standing on the spot with his eyes closed.
This was because an incomparably huge amount of energy had entered his body from the Poseidon's Trident.
'Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Water Arcana LV1.'
'Ding! Detected that the Water Arcana has reached the maximum level. Automatically upgraded to Law of Water LV1.'
With the sound of the system notification, Long Chen suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes seemed to have turned into a boundless ocean.
"Law of Water. After comprehending the power of law, does it mean that I can control all the water in the world?"
Long Chen muttered to himself. The power of law was much stronger than his Arcana.
The Law of Life gave him an immortal body, and the Law of Water gave him absolute control over water.
If he fought in a place with water, his strength would increase by more than a hundred times.
"Young man, you are the benefactor of our Mermaid Clan."
Just as Long Chen's mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, the Mermaid Patriarch's voice suddenly rang out beside him.
She looked at Long Chen with a face full of gratitude. Not only her, but the other mermen and women below the stage also looked at him with eyes full of gratitude.
This was because from today onwards, they were no longer trapped in the Poseidon's Temple. They could go out and see the wonderful world.
"Patriarch, you are too kind. Moreover, this time, I have gained a lot thanks to you."
Long Chen was also very excited. The Mermaid Clan was free, and his strength had increased. It was a win-win situation.
After that, the Mermaid Patriarch solemnly invited Long Chen to participate in the Mermaid Clan's banquet.
Naturally, Long Chen did not refuse.
He carefully put the Poseidon's Trident into his Portable Space. This was the weapon of the Poseidon.
Although he did not know how strong the Poseidon was, he was definitely not comparable to the Tyrant Saber Demon King.
Titles were not given casually. For example, the Invincible Dragon God, Emperor Xing Yao, and the Azure Cloud Sect Master were all very domineering.
In order to have a domineering title, one had to have the strength to match it. Otherwise, one would only be despised.
