Chaos Ancient Tree Descends

Liu Erlong's face turned pale, Grandmaster's expression changed drastically, and Flender flew into a rage.

But no matter what they did, Xu Yu had already left.

The Spirit Hall Soul Masters left behind to escort them, ever since Bibi Dong had ordered Ghost Douluo to make an example of someone last time, truly did not dare defy Xu Yu's orders anymore—at least not openly.

"Dean, what are you going to do?" Ning Rongrong looked at Liu Erlong anxiously.

Liu Erlong forced a smile. "He's a smart man. He may have guessed the relationship between us and his Pope. Someone like him won't do anything to me."

Though she said that, Liu Erlong was still worried as she tried to comfort herself. Perhaps she was right, but who knew what the real situation would be? She turned to Grandmaster for help. Grandmaster gritted his teeth, but in the end, he yielded. With a sigh, he said, "I'm still an Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall. I'll go meet the Pope of Spirit Hall!"

After leaving the conference room, Xu Yu was in quite a good mood.

Liu Erlong was pretty, but unfortunately, he did not dare return to his room tonight. He still needed to find a chance to stay under Bibi Dong's watchful eye, lest rumors ruin him.

But what about sending her to Bibi Dong's room?

He remembered that during the Continental Soul Master Elite Challenge, Liu Erlong had linked arms with Grandmaster and flaunted it before Bibi Dong. Though Bibi Dong had said nothing at the time, if she had felt nothing inside, then she would not be Bibi Dong. She looked generous, but she was actually terribly petty.

Forget it, he could deal with that later. He should hurry and see Her Majesty the Empress, lest she wait two or three minutes and accuse him again of making her wait four or five hours. Not only was she petty, she even slandered people.

As he walked through the streets of Spirit City toward Pope's Palace, Xu Yu suddenly leaped back. With a boom, a large crater appeared where he had been standing. A Golden Armor Youth stood atop it. He was not much older than Xu Yu, perhaps five or six years his senior, yet he already possessed five soul rings. He was a Soul King.

Such a young Soul King? Xu Yu wondered who this person was.

Could he be a genius secretly cultivated by Spirit Hall? That was not impossible. Even Bibi Dong, whose foundation had still been lacking, had discovered the three members of the Golden Generation. Xu Yu refused to believe that Spirit Hall had no successors.

It was just that in the original story, Tang San, that cheating bastard, had hacked his way from beginning to end. The geniuses secretly cultivated by Spirit Hall had died before they could shine, and even the other six Shrek Monsters had been suppressed. Let alone these extras who had never even appeared onstage.

But that had been in the later stages, when Titled Douluo were everywhere. The youth before him clearly meant him harm, and he would not be easy to handle. Still, if he was merely an Assault System Battle Soul Master, Xu Yu did not take him seriously... Ahem, that was bullshit. An Assault System Soul King was still a tremendous threat to him, considering he was a Support System Soul Master.

An army was raised for a thousand days to be used in a single moment.

It was time to test the power of the Blue Silver Grass. It was already a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast—could it not even defeat an Assault System Soul King it naturally countered?

If it could not, then he would not keep it.

"Waaah, bad guy! You want to abandon me again!" As Xu Yu thought that, the image of little A Lan bawling her eyes out appeared in his mind. Xu Yu felt depressed. How did the Blue Silver Grass know what he was thinking? Was the Summoning Tome causing trouble again? Xu Yu even suspected that there might be some old grandpa or old granny living inside the tome.

But what depressed Xu Yu even more was that two masked maidens holding Coiled Dragon Staffs stepped out from behind the Golden Armor Youth. Their faces were covered by masks, their long hair tied into long ponytails that hung to their waists. They wore combat uniforms suited for movement, giving them an overall impression of valiant elegance and boundless youthful energy.

This sudden development had already drawn a large crowd of onlookers, including the group preparing to be escorted away. Seeing this, Golden Goose angrily shouted, "Stop! Fighting privately in Spirit City—are you trying to rebel?"

"Ninth Elder, we are from Spirit Hall. Pope's Palace has no authority to interfere."

"Are you questioning my decision?"

The Golden Armor Youth felt a chill in his heart. Being locked onto by the aura of a Titled Douluo was unpleasant for anyone. He truly feared that Ninth Elder above might attack him. He cupped his hands in that direction to indicate that he understood, but he had no intention of giving up. He merely looked at Xu Yu across from him with amusement. "A Soul King? Which one of the Golden Generation are you? Do you dare fight me one-on-one? I hear the people of Pope's Palace have been quite arrogant lately. Do you dare show me what makes you worthy of such arrogance? Don't be some frog at the bottom of a well, ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth."

He had not even gotten his intelligence straight before coming out to provoke him? Had the people of Spirit Hall cultivated themselves stupid?

Xu Yu had initially been rather serious, but facing someone whose intelligence was not even on the same level as his, he instantly stopped feeling nervous. He waved a hand to tell Golden Goose not to interfere. She could step in after he lost.

"I am Hu Liena, leader of the Golden Generation. I possess Innate Full Soul Power, am Spirit Hall's second most outstanding genius in a century, its youngest recipient of the Purple Record Medal, and a level 54 Battle Soul King. Please enlighten me." Xu Yu's attitude was exceptionally polite. As for why his Soul Power had risen by one level since last time to level 54, it was because the violent energy in Zhu Zhuyun's body had fed back into him while they made love, allowing him to break through.

Golden Goose: ...You really are a dog. It was one thing to tell me to intervene if you lost, but now you were even pretending to be Hu Liena. And not only were you impersonating her, you were throwing around so many titles. Hu Liena probably did not even know she had that many titles.

Even if the other side won, they probably would not be able to feel happy about it.

Who could be happy after feeling that their intelligence had been insulted?

"Be careful. For Hu Liena to be accepted by Bibi Dong as her sole disciple, her talent and methods must not be underestimated. I just didn't expect Hu Liena to be a man. I thought she was a woman," one of the masked maidens holding a Coiled Dragon Staff said solemnly from behind the Golden Armor Youth.

Though they spoke dismissively of the Golden Generation, its illustrious reputation was no empty boast. It had been earned through genuine ability.

Even hidden away in Spirit Hall, the three members of the Golden Generation had been names like thunder in their ears.

Whether it was the Golden Armor Youth or the Masked Maiden, they had come today because they were unconvinced, wanting to test whether these people truly lived up to their reputation.

He might have had doubts before, but now that he saw Xu Yu reach level 54 Soul Power at such a young age, with an even higher Soul Power Level than his own, the Golden Armor Youth was arrogant but not brainless.

Yet he had his own confidence. After all, they had been cultivated by the Seven Great Enshrined of Spirit Hall. How could they be compared with just any random cats and dogs from outside?

"Giant Crocodile, level 53 Battle Soul King. Please enlighten me."

The youth, Giant Crocodile, stepped forward and returned the courtesy.

Neither wasted any more words. Giant Crocodile wanted to see whether the younger generation outside truly lived up to its reputation, while also using Xu Yu to establish his prestige. Xu Yu had the same goal. Without some strength, people would always say that he only had what he had today because he clung to Bibi Dong's thigh. Though he claimed not to care, it still did not sit well with him.

"First Soul Skill, Golden Crocodile Hand. Second Soul Skill, Golden Crocodile Leg." Giant Crocodile's soul skills were quite interesting, all focused on strengthening his body. The enhanced body parts would see all their attributes greatly increased.

After his legs were strengthened, his speed instantly surged. In the blink of an eye, he was already before Xu Yu.

But Xu Yu naturally would not engage him in close combat. It was not suitable to expose the Summoning Tome yet, and only then did Xu Yu realize that the Blue Silver Grass was not so easy to use. However, as his Life Guardian Battle Beast, the Chaos Ancient Tree did not have this problem and could descend directly.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Divine Tree Descent!"

He activated his Fifth Soul Skill, casually making up a fake skill name to conceal the arrival of the Chaos Ancient Tree.

But Xu Yu had not expected the Chaos Ancient Tree's descent to be so grand, so imposing. It shook heaven and earth, instantly drawing the attention of nearly the entire Spirit City.
