Witnessing such a breathtaking scene, Luo Feng couldn't help but exclaim: "Poseidon's Palace is truly enormous! Does this mean the Mythical Sea King's physique is equally massive?"
As the Merfolk Queen, her knowledge far surpassed Luo Feng's. She was well-versed in matters concerning Poseidon's Palace and replied: "Master, I've never seen the Sea King's true form myself. The previous Merfolk Queen had. She frequently visited Poseidon's Palace to meet the Sea King. Both disappeared together. From what I know, Poseidon's Palace can alter its size at will—it can expand or shrink to any dimensions. Master, once you become the Sea King, you may inherit this very palace."
Luo Feng drew a sharp breath upon hearing this. This magnificent palace could become his possession? The mere thought filled him with exhilaration.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Luo Feng declared. "Let's enter Poseidon's Palace immediately to complete the Promotion Quest. When I ascend as Sea King, your contributions won't go unrewarded. The benefits will be substantial."
As Luo Feng led the two women toward the palace gates, a sudden figure emerged, startling the group. Instantly, all three unleashed powerful energies, with Black Tortoise's attack arriving simultaneously.
The white-robed elder effortlessly deflected their assaults with a wave of his hand. "Peace, friends," the kindly old man said. "I mean no harm. I already know your purpose here."
Luo Feng was astounded—their combined attacks with Black Tortoise could instantly annihilate any ordinary Level 4 creature. Even a Level 5 being shouldn't have neutralized their strikes so casually, without even a ripple of resistance. Level 7? Perhaps 8?
Fortunately, the elder seemed benevolent. After brief consideration, Luo Feng spoke: "We've come to complete the Poseidon Promotion Quest. May I ask who you are?"
The old man studied Luo Feng and his companions before smiling. "Your arrival here proves your qualifications—no further tests are needed. As for me? I'm merely an old man tasked with posing three questions. Answer them truthfully from your heart, and your promotion will be complete. But be warned—lies have grave consequences here. Falsehoods cannot hide before us. Should you deceive, Poseidon's Palace will reclaim Poseidon's Trident from you, and all present shall perish."
Hearing such words from the kindly old man, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel an inexplicable tension in his heart.
At this point, Luo Feng had no doubt about the old man's words. Just from the old man's earlier display of skill, he could tell the old man's strength was extraordinary.
Moreover, the old man had absolutely no reason to deceive them.
Indeed, the profession of Sea King wasn't an easy one to take on.
Having come this far, there was no way Luo Feng would consider giving up now.
Everyone in this world has told lies at some point.
But in this situation, Luo Feng had no intention of testing the old man with falsehoods.
Thinking this, Luo Feng took a deep breath and said, "Alright, just ask your three questions directly.
I'll give you the most honest answers.
If there's a question I truly don't know the answer to, I won't be able to respond."
The old man maintained his smile and said, "Don't worry about that. They definitely won't be difficult questions.
I just want to see if your personality suits the Sea King profession.
In that case, I'll begin the questions.
First question: Are you willing to take on multiple assistants? There's no specific number required—the more, the better."
Hearing the old man's words, Luo Feng was momentarily stunned, not immediately comprehending.
What kind of question was this?
Luo Feng had expected something embarrassing or difficult to answer, but this was practically voicing his own dreams.
Faced with such a question, probably no one would choose to say no.
Even if someone refused, it might be due to some unspeakable circumstances.
Luo Feng had absolutely no such concerns.
Thinking this, Luo Feng answered without hesitation, "Of course I'm willing.
Currently, I plan to take on three partners.
Is that enough?"
Hearing Luo Feng's response, the old man smiled slightly and said, "The previous Sea King needed to multiply your number by a thousand to even begin comparing.
But let's not dwell on that.
Next, the second question: How long do your battles last?
Let me clarify first—anything under three days is unacceptable.
As the Sea King, you must possess an exceptionally strong constitution."
Hearing this question, Luo Feng immediately felt a headache coming on.
What the hell kind of bizarre questions were these?
How could anyone even ask something like this?
An ordinary person might really be tempted to lie here.
Because most men don't last particularly long in battle.
Most measure their time in seconds.
And often, after such situations, they'll come up with excuses.
"First time, too nervous."
"Sorry, I'm a bit tired today."
"Not in good form today, let's try another day."
Those who can measure in minutes are already rare.
Those who measure in hours are practically unicorns.
And those who measure in days? Such people simply don't exist.
But Luo Feng was an exception.
His physical condition had long since been dramatically enhanced.
If he were to engage in continuous battle, he could last three days and three nights.
And if there were a few intermissions in between, he could add a few more days.
Currently, five days and nights wouldn't be a problem.
After careful consideration, Luo Feng said, "I've only had one battle so far, and the first time lasted 18 hours."
However, this hasn't reached my limit yet.
A conservative estimate would be three days and nights without any issues, probably around five days and nights."
The old man nodded and smiled, "It seems your strength is not to be underestimated.
Now for the final question.
You'll need to engage in combat with a female companion inside Poseidon's Palace.
For at least 12 hours.
Do you accept?"
