Awakening, Recognizing the Golden Generation

"Hmph, it was that girl's fault for not watching where she was going and bumping into Nana," Yan said dismissively. They were all from the Martial Soul Hall, and Nana was the Pope's personal disciple. How dare that girl speak to him so rudely just now? He was determined to teach her a lesson today.

Bibi Dong maintained a kind expression. "Little girl, is that what happened? If so, please apologize to my disciple."

Bibi Dong emphasized the word "apologize" heavily, clearly intending for Mu Yu to do so.

Mu Yu was speechless. "Hello, you can't just believe his one-sided story, can you? I was standing right here and didn't move at all. This girl just crashed into me. Besides, didn't you see that I'm the one who got hurt?"

Mu Yu's words were quite absolute, implying that his disciple had bumped into her and she hadn't done anything.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly. Seeing Mu Yu's unyielding attitude, Yan became even more enraged. "Insolent! How dare you speak to Your Excellency the Pope like that!"

Upon hearing "Your Excellency the Pope," the surrounding onlookers quickly distanced themselves from the area. Yan then looked at Mu Yu with a provocative gaze.

"Heh, the person you just bumped into is the future Saintess of the Martial Soul Hall. Apologize quickly!"

After Yan spoke, both Bibi Dong and Hu Liena glared at him, but no one denied it, as Bibi Dong indeed intended that.

Mu Yu's anger flared at Yan's dismissive look. "Are you deaf or blind? How can you expect me to apologize when someone else bumped into me? If I killed you in a fight, could I say you made the first move and demand you apologize to me?"

Yan, unwilling to back down, was about to retort but was interrupted by Bibi Dong. "Little girl, how about we each take a step back? Nana also made some mistakes. I will apologize to you on her behalf, and you apologize to Nana. How about that?"

Mu Yu was exasperated. She hadn't done anything, so why should she apologize? If the other party had been polite, she would have just let it go and apologized. But now, she was very angry, especially because of Yan's attitude.

As they were at an impasse, a faint red light emanated from a Soul Sage following behind Bibi Dong, striking directly at Mu Yu. "Veyah, how dare you!"

Bibi Dong reprimanded the Soul Sage behind her, but she made no move to block the attack for Mu Yu. Mu Yu frowned slightly. She wasn't afraid, as Xi Ruo was there, and she shouldn't be harmed.

"Heh, who dares to harm her!" a childish yet imposing voice echoed. An ice-blue arrow collided with the red Soul Power, exploding instantly. Bibi Dong was stunned, then immediately activated her Soul Rings to protect the three of them. Light Feather Douluo leaped down from behind and brought Mu Yu to safety.

As the smoke cleared, Bibi Dong looked at Light Feather Douluo with some surprise.

"Fifth Enshrined, may I ask what brings you here today?"

Light Feather looked at the bruises on Mu Yu's body and frowned. A hint of displeasure appeared on his childlike face.

"Hmph, what brings me here? If I hadn't come, would you be bullying my little Yu?"

When Bibi Dong and the others heard the word "my," they were somewhat surprised. No wonder this child wasn't afraid of the Pope; she had Light Feather Douluo as her backing.

"Fifth Enshrined, you jest. The child was just being childish, and Veyah simply didn't want to see Nana wronged."

Light Feather Douluo didn't intend to continue dealing with Bibi Dong. Instead, he spoke to Mu Yu in a fierce, childlike tone.

"You little girl, you really don't make me worry. Sigh, what will I say when I go back if you're injured!"

"It's okay, Sixth Grandfather. I'll tell the other grandfathers myself."

Seeing that Light Feather Douluo was ignoring her, Bibi Dong felt somewhat awkward and annoyed. However, she ultimately didn't dare to say anything. What concerned her was hearing the conversation between Light Feather Douluo and that child; this child was most likely related to Qian Daoliu.

"Fifth Enshrined, may I ask about this child's identity..."

Bibi Dong was interrupted again by Light Feather Douluo before she could finish.

"This is the Eldest Miss's benefactor, and the person my elder brother recognized as his granddaughter."

Bibi Dong, having been interrupted twice, fell silent after hearing this. "Nana, let's go..."

The Golden Generation and the remaining members of the Pope's Hall understood that the person before them, whom Bibi Dong addressed as Fifth Enshrined, was likely from the Worship Hall. People from the Worship Hall were not someone they could afford to offend...

Yan glared at Mu Yu unwillingly, then followed behind Hu Liena and left.

Before the people from the Pope's Hall had completely departed, Light Feather Douluo's scolding voice could be heard.

"You bunch of *******, bullying our Second Miss and still have the nerve! Don't let this old man see you again, or else this old man will *******."

Mu Yu stood quietly to the side, mentally giving Light Feather Douluo ten thousand likes.

Afterward, as soon as Light Feather returned to the Elder Hall, he recounted the entire incident to the other Enshrined members, describing even their slightest expressions in detail.

Upon hearing this, the Enshrined members wished they could go together and smash the Pope's Hall.

Finally, Mu Yu stopped them. "Grandfathers, calm down. I don't think this matter is a big deal. At worst, I'll find an opportunity to beat up that brat later. But it's not worth harming the harmony between the Pope's Hall and the Elder Hall. After all, everyone now hopes for the Martial Soul Hall to improve, not to engage in infighting."

After hearing Mu Yu's words, the Enshrined members felt she had a point and also admired Mu Yu's broad perspective despite her young age.

"Little Yu is right. We won't stoop to their level."

"As expected of Little Yu, to think of so many things."

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong also sent people to secretly investigate Mu Yu's identity. However, their findings were no different from what Light Feather Douluo had said: her name was Mu Yu, and she had saved Qian Renxue.

They couldn't find out anything else, including her parents or place of residence.

Mu Yu, however, paid no mind to Bibi Dong's investigation. After all, who would have thought she came from Sea God Island?

During this period, she ate and drank as usual. Qian Renxue had also left for Heaven Dou. When she was bored, she either read books or went for runs—the former to increase her knowledge and the latter to enhance her physical fitness.

Qian Daoliu was very pleased to see his little granddaughter so diligent and eager to learn.

Unknowingly, through Mu Yu's strenuous training and diligent studies, her physique far surpassed that of her peers, even doubling it.

If Mu Yu were to return to her previous life (before transmigrating), she could probably ace the physical education portions of the college entrance exams with ease.

Furthermore, she had also revisited the boxing skills she had learned in her past life.

She had also been in the Martial Soul Hall for nearly a year.

The few people from the Worship Hall woke Mu Yu up in shifts early in the morning, because Mu Yu slept incredibly soundly.

It finally ended with Mighty Lion Douluo's mental intimidation, signaling the successful completion of the enshrines' task.

"Can't my grandfathers let me sleep a little longer..."

Mu Yu pouted and complained. Qian Daoliu couldn't help but pat her fluffy little head when he saw her adorable appearance.

"Today is the day of your Spirit Awakening, so you only need to get up early this once."

Hearing Spirit Awakening, Mu Yu instantly sobered up. If she remembered correctly, didn't the God of Space say he would compensate her?

"Grandpa, grandpa, let's go! Oh, Fifth Grandfather, don't dawdle. Sixth Grandfather, hurry up. Seventh Grandfather, stop playing with that stick!"

With Mu Yu's urging, the seven enshrines were sent to the Spirit Awakening location at an extremely fast speed.

Entering the main hall, Bibi Dong sat in the high seat. She nodded slightly when she saw Qian Daoliu and the others enter. Qian Daoliu also nodded slightly, then sat in other positions with the other six enshrines. Most of the children awakening their martial souls with her were the offspring of nobles in Martial Soul City. The Golden Generation was also present, but they didn't actively seek trouble.

Mu Yu operated under the principle of "I don't offend others, but if they offend me, I'll kill them."

She silently lined up. The Golden Generation was in front of her. She didn't plan to pay them any mind, only searching for the shadow of the God of Space in her Sea of Consciousness. She didn't find the God of Space, but Hu Liena came to strike up a conversation first.

"Hello, you must be Mu Yu, right? My name is Hu Liena. We were in the wrong last time. I apologize to you."

Mu Yu's heart softened as she looked at the shy little girl in front of her. She didn't like anything in this life except pretty older sisters and handsome guys...

"Well, it's not entirely your fault..."

"Then can we be friends?" Looking at Hu Liena's big, watery eyes...

"Mm... okay."

Hu Liena was happy that Mu Yu agreed.

"But..." Mu Yu changed the subject and pointed at Yan, "Make him apologize to me."

Yan instantly became flustered. She was targeting him! Just as Yan was about to explode, he heard Hu Liena's voice.

"Yan, apologize to Mu Yu!"

"..." He felt heartbroken. Even Nana was asking him to apologize. He looked up at Xie Yue, who silently took a step back towards Mu Yu. "..." He reluctantly walked in front of Mu Yu. "I'm sorry..."

The child wasn't that vengeful. Mu Yu and Hu Liena were chatting animatedly, but she always felt like someone was watching her. She turned her head and met Xie Yue's gaze.

"Is there something behind me?" Mu Yu asked the soul-piercing question.

Xie Yue: ?

The minor interlude ended, and it was soon the Golden Generation's turn to awaken their martial souls. Hu Liena went up first. "Nana, don't be scared." "Mm."
