"Yeah, I feel like gambling too."
"Ah, we really can't break the fragrant law. Every time we lose, we swear not to gamble again."
"Yes, in the fifth trial, we were so confident, but we still lost. Yet now we want to gamble again. We really are incorrigible."
"It's not that we're incorrigible, but because this time it seems impossible. Ye Yu would surely succeed with full strength, but using only physical power to lift the Trident of the Sea God blessed by the highest difficulty 1,001st level of Light of the Sea God, that's impossible."
"Yes, it's indeed impossible. Even if we exert all our strength, it's hard to last one minute on the 1,001st step, let alone Ye Yu pulling out the Trident of the Sea God under such terrifying pressure. Under that pressure, the Trident's gravity is even more terrifying, surpassing the pressure of the 1,001st step completely."
"Right, if you want to pull out the Trident with such terrifying gravity, you'd have to defeat me without using soul power or any abilities. But clearly, it's impossible. Ye Yu can't defeat me using just physical strength, right, Ye Yu?"
Sea Dragon Douluo asked Ye Yu, and Ye Yu nodded.
"Hmm, just with physical strength, without using soul power, Martial Soul, etc., with my current physical power and speed, I'm not your opponent at all, not even a match for a War Soul Saint."
"It seems you understand too. Although your physique is strong, it's not strong enough to compete with the powerful just by physical strength. You're invincible under the gods because of terrifying soul techniques, soul bones, spirit realm, and your Second Martial Soul. Now that none of these can be used, it's impossible."
"The Ten Trial of the Gods becomes more challenging as it progresses; it's truly perverse. It's equivalent to placing the Trident of the Sea God on the 1,001st step of the Sea God's ladder for you to pull out. Even the full-strength me can't do it, let alone you using just physical strength. Unless you can defeat the full-strength me with just physical strength, which is impossible. So it's impossible for you to pull it out, that's why we're tempted to bet again." Sea Spear Douluo felt a twinge of doubt inside.
Ye Yu said, "I advise you not to gamble anymore. You've already lost all your precious things to me. You haven't had time to find good treasures these days, right?"
The Seven Douluo were embarrassed; indeed they had nothing valuable left. Before, they had time every year to go out exploring to find more, but now they really don't have anything worthwhile.
Ye Yu advised, "So, don't gamble. Otherwise, you'd even lose your shorts to me, and I don't want them. I dislike the smell."
Sea Demon Douluo swayed forward with a charming smile and said, "Do you want mine?"
Ye Yu: "…"
Ye Yu said, "Sea Demon Douluo, have some restraint. I don't want yours either. I don't have that fetish."
"Hee hee, I'm just teasing you. Did you think I was serious? Besides, I don't wear those. After all, I'm a mermaid."
Ye Yu said, "Then let's see in a day whether I can pull it out."
Seahorse Douluo smirked, "Ye Yu, how about continuing to gamble? Although I don't have anything precious now, I can offer time. If I lose, in the coming years, all the precious things I find will be yours. It would be like offering credit."
The other Douluo's eyes lit up at these words, and they quickly came forward.
"I can do the same. After all, we're Titled Douluo. In a year or two, we can find good things again."
Looking at their eager expressions, Ye Yu said, "Even though I don't need precious items now—I previously only needed Immortal Grass to enhance my spiritual power, but I've fully mastered the Second Martial Soul—it's good for Xiao San and the rest. Since you insist, I'll agree. However, since it's credit, there should be interest. I'll bet the Seven-leaf Profound Water Algae with you, but if you lose, you'll need to come up with double the value. That means if in one year you collect things equivalent to the algae, it's not enough. You need to gather double that amount."
This would be equivalent to them offering treasures worth two Immortal Grasses.
The Seven Douluo didn't hesitate and nodded immediately, "Okay, we understand."
They expressed understanding and felt they wouldn't lose.
Ye Yu nodded, "Then it's settled. Everyone present is a witness. You won't be able to back out, especially since you can't beat me now."
The Seven Douluo assured confidently, "We won't back out."
"Hmm, if you lose, you'll work for us. If you can't provide double the value of the Seven-leaf Profound Water Algae, don't come back."
"Alright."
The Seven Douluo nodded repeatedly. They weren't planning to work for Ye Yu and the others; they just believed they wouldn't lose.
Ma Hongjun said, "Boss Yu, you're really good to us. Looks like we'll get some more precious herbs and elixirs."
"The herbs and elixirs they lost to us before were indeed useful. They're true treasures, second only to Immortal Grass, helping our upgrades without side effects."
Seahorse Douluo sneered, "Isn't it too early to start thanking him? Unless he can defeat me using only physical strength, pulling out the Trident of the Sea God is impossible without using any abilities."
Ma Hongjun raised his head and said, "Humph, even though I think it's impossible too, the fact that Boss Yu is betting with you proves he's confident in succeeding."
Ye Yu sighed lightly, "Planning to complete the seventh trial, then leave Sea God Island, but before leaving, you'll be the Sudhana once again, and I can't do anything about it."
The Seven Douluo confidently replied, "We'll see."
Ye Yu and others left to rest, and the Seven Douluo eagerly awaited the next day.
Returning to their prepared accommodations, to be honest, Tang San was also puzzled.
"Brother Yu, even I think it's impossible. As the Seven Douluo said, to pull out the Trident of the Sea God under the highest light pressure is like pulling it on the 1,101st step of the Sea God's ladder. In my view, there's no way you can stand on the 1,101st step without using anything, let alone the Trident of the Sea God itself weighing 108,000 jin. Under that pressure, it becomes even heavier, more than the pressure of 1,101st steps. Even at full strength, Sea Dragon Douluo at level 95 finds it hard to pull it out, let alone Brother Yu only using physical strength. Has Brother Yu become so strong that with just current physical strength, he can defeat a level 95 Titled Douluo?"
Tang San's words echoed the doubts of Ye Yu and the others, even though Ye Yu had agreed to the gamble, they too were uncertain internally and could only trust in Ye Yu blindly.
Ye Yu glanced at himself and said, "Indeed, with my current physique, even a hundred of me using just physical strength wouldn't be a match for Sea Dragon Douluo, but I am confident I can pull it out."
Hearing this, Tang San's eyes brightened. Since Ye Yu said so, maybe it's really possible.
They didn't ask more, curious about what Ye Yu would do the next day.
