A Contest of the Younger Generation

As time passed, Bibi Dong, who lived beside Yun Yuan Palace, soon noticed that something was off about Yun Yuan.

She walked to a spot not far from Yun Yuan and continuously examined him from head to toe, discovering that he was acting very strangely, completely motionless.

"What's going on with Junior Brother?"

Although Bibi Dong did not know what had happened to Yun Yuan, her instincts told her that she absolutely could not go over and disturb her Junior Brother at a time like this.

Yet seeing Yun Yuan like this, Bibi Dong was deeply worried, afraid that something unexpected might happen to him.

Left with no other choice, Bibi Dong turned and ran toward the Papal Palace, intending to find her Teacher and have him see what was going on with Junior Brother Yun Yuan.

Outside the Papal Palace stood Qian Xunji.

After the clash between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen just now, how could he possibly remain seated on the Papal Throne? He had immediately rushed out to witness the confrontation between the two Peerless Douluo.

"Sigh, Father's realm is ultimately one I will find difficult to reach."

Qian Xunji sighed. Compared to his father Qian Daoliu, his talent was simply far too lacking.

Whether in Soul Power cultivation or his understanding of weapons, Qian Xunji was far inferior to Qian Daoliu.

Otherwise, decades later in the original story, Qian Xunji, with the cultivation of a level ninety-five Super Douluo, would not have been beaten into serious injury by Tang Hao, a soul master who had only just entered the realm of Title Douluo.

Just as Qian Xunji was lamenting, he saw Bibi Dong once again, hurriedly jogging toward the Papal Palace.

"Dong'er, what's going on with you this time?"

When Bibi Dong jogged up to him, he could not help but ask.

The last time this had happened was when Yun Yuan consumed Whale Rubber. He just did not know what had happened this time.

Upon seeing her Teacher Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong took a slight breath, then anxiously said to him, "Something's wrong, Teacher! Junior Brother is completely motionless. I don't know what happened to him!"

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Qian Xunji's brows furrowed slightly. Seemingly recalling something, his facial expression turned solemn as he asked Bibi Dong, "Dong'er, did you disturb your Junior Brother?"

At that, Bibi Dong hurriedly shook her head and explained to Teacher Qian Xunji.

"Teacher, the moment I noticed Junior Brother acting strangely, I came to find you right away."

Once he understood, Qian Xunji let out a breath of relief. Then, without caring about Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen's earlier clash, he took Bibi Dong and hurried toward Yun Yuan Palace.

If Qian Xunji's guess was correct, Yun Yuan's current state should be the legendary state of Epiphany.

The most important thing now was to ensure that Yun Yuan remained in an environment free from outside disturbances.

When they arrived before Yun Yuan's palace, Qian Xunji saw Yun Yuan in the midst of Epiphany, and delight instantly appeared on his face.

Epiphany was a state that soul masters dreamed of attaining throughout their lives. He had not expected his disciple to enter it at such a young age.

Qian Xunji then began creating a quiet environment for Yun Yuan, preventing anything from affecting his state of Epiphany.

After creating a quiet and peaceful environment for Yun Yuan, Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong remained there to watch over him.

But an unexpected complication arose.

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen had just agreed to let the younger generations of Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect compete, so Qian Xunji needed to return and preside over the contest between the younger generation.

Helplessly, Qian Xunji could only leave Yun Yuan for the time being, leaving Bibi Dong alone to guard him.

Spirit City, within a competition venue.

The two Peerless Douluo, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, sat atop the High Platform, overlooking the entire venue.

Qian Xunji stood waiting beside Qian Daoliu, while the younger generations of Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect stood on either side of the competition grounds below.

At that moment, Qian Xunji's gaze was fixed firmly on a Youngster among the Clear Sky Sect's younger generation. The Youngster had a sharp expression, his face brimming with confidence and high spirits.

This Youngster was the greatest Genius among the Clear Sky Sect's younger generation, Tang Hao, the Grandson whom Tang Chen praised without end.

For some reason, whenever Qian Xunji looked at Tang Hao, a violent urge rose in his heart, as though he desperately wanted to teach that thorny Tang Hao a lesson.

The next moment.

Tang Hao leaped onto the Competition Platform and looked with contempt at Spirit Hall's younger generation across from him.

"Come on, let me see what the younger generation of Spirit Hall is capable of."

As soon as he finished speaking, Battle Intent erupted from Tang Hao's eyes, and his gaze turned sharp. A massive hammer, jet-black, gleaming, and incomparably heavy, appeared in his hand.

"I'll go first."

After Tang Hao spoke, a Youngster with a face covered in pockmarks stepped forward from Spirit Hall's side.

After arriving on the Competition Platform, the pockmarked Youngster looked seriously at Tang Hao across from him and began introducing himself.

"Wang Yu. Martial Soul: Blazing Lion King. Level twenty-eight Soul Grandmaster. Please advise me."

Hearing that, Tang Hao fiercely swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and rested it on his shoulder.

"Tang Hao. Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer. Level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster."

As soon as the two finished speaking, they both released their Soul Rings. Two Yellow Soul Rings appeared around each of them in turn.

Wang Yu activated his Blazing Lion King Martial Soul Possession and was the first to use his First Soul Skill, Blazing Fire Fist.

Flames covered his hands as he leaped into the air and charged at Tang Hao opposite him, unleashing Blazing Fire Fists one after another.

Facing the barrage of flaming fists, Tang Hao remained completely calm. His first soul ring lit up.

"First Soul Skill, Titan's Hammer!"

Tang Hao shouted and swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand. The hammer radiated incomparable might as it swept toward the fire fists Wang Yu had unleashed.

Wang Yu's Blazing Fire Fists were like paper before Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, crumbling at the first blow.

After shattering Wang Yu's attack, Tang Hao pressed his advantage. An aura as imposing as Mount Tai surged from him and bore down directly on Wang Yu, making his breath catch sharply.

On the platform, Qian Daoliu watched Tang Chen beside him with great interest.

"This is an aura, and he has been at this level for quite some time. He has already achieved some mastery of it. No wonder you said he is one of your Clear Sky Sect's super geniuses."

"At such a young age, he already has a deep understanding of aura. He has a great chance of reaching our level in the future."

Tang Hao's talent truly astonished him. In the future, he would indeed be qualified to stand at their height.

However, after seeing Tang Hao's true talent, Qian Xunji merely sneered.

"I just heard Father say that Tang Hao was a super genius, but now that I see him, he is nothing special."

He had originally thought Tang Hao might put some pressure on his prized disciple, but with this level of performance, let alone his younger disciple Yun Yuan—

Even his eldest disciple, Bibi Dong, could utterly crush Tang Hao in terms of talent.

Seeing the approving expression on his father's face, Qian Xunji began considering bringing Yun Yuan before him someday, so that he could see what a true heavenly prodigy looked like.

After all, since Yun Yuan became his disciple, Qian Daoliu had never seen Yun Yuan's true talent. He only knew that Spirit Hall had the youngest Saint Son in its history.
