Chance Encounter with the Golden Generation

After seeing Zhu Zhu Qing off, Ye Liangchen and his group hurried toward Soul Hunting Town. To avoid unnecessary trouble, the three women put on black cloaks and veils, concealing their aqua-blue hair and stunning faces.

"Senior Sisters! That little girl named Zhu Zhu Qing probably has quite an extraordinary identity!"

"She only has Level 8 Soul Power, yet she followed her aunt into the Star Dou Forest. That's highly unusual."

"If I'm not mistaken, that little girl should be a direct descendant of the Zhu Family. The loneliness and helplessness in her eyes showed that she hadn't been living well in the Zhu Family. She was probably forced into the cruel competition of the Star Luo Royal Family."

"My heavens! Being dragged into the Star Luo Royal Family's competition at such a young age... she's truly pitiful."

Lan Xiao Die and the others were all worldly and experienced. They quickly deduced Zhu Zhu Qing's identity. They also knew about the inhumane rules of competition within the Star Luo Royal Family and felt sorry for the little girl.

"That little girl seemed very interested in Little Chen! While he was practicing, she kept staring at him without blinking, her eyes full of admiration and envy."

Su Lin looked at Ye Liangchen beside her, reached out to rub his head, and smiled like a fond aunt.

"Our Little Chen is so outstanding. It's perfectly normal for girls to like him!"

The Lan Xiao Die sisters exchanged smiles. This little fellow was already so popular with girls. Who knew how many girls would fall for him in the future?

Ye Liangchen pretended not to have heard anything. I know I'm outstanding, but was there really any need to praise me this much?

By the time Ye Liangchen and his group arrived at Soul Hunting Town, it was already evening, so they had no choice but to stay there for the night.

"It's been ten days already. I wonder whether the Yue Lai Inn owner has been feeding our horses properly?" Su Lin was still worried that their carriage might have been sold.

"Don't worry! We paid a deposit, so the owner will definitely take good care of them."

Lan Xiao Die smiled, took Ye Liangchen's little hand, and headed toward the Yue Lai Inn.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, everyone set off to return to Skywater Academy.

Just as they stepped out of the inn, they came across three young people buying things at a shop beside it.

"Boss, we want this..."

Two of the three were boys, while the other was a girl. They were all young. The two boys looked to be around thirteen, while the girl was about ten.

Though they were young, they were very powerful. Their clothes were also luxurious, making it obvious that they came from a major power.

The three Lan Xiao Die sisters were greatly surprised and secretly communicated through Soul Power.

"These three young people are very strong! Especially the Soul Power fluctuations from those two boys—they're both close to becoming Soul Elders."

"Could such outstanding youths be geniuses from Spirit Hall?"

"That's very likely! Those two boys should be preparing to enter the Star Dou Forest to obtain their third Spirit Rings. Geniuses of that caliber must have powerful Guardians accompanying them."

Ye Liangchen glanced at the young people and noticed that one of the boys had red hair. In an instant, something came to mind.

Red hair? Two boys and one girl? The girl was quite pretty, and she carried an aura of Charm.

Weren't they Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation?

At this point in time, the Golden Generation's strength lay somewhere between Soul Grandmasters and Soul Elders. The three of them were super geniuses personally cultivated by the Female Pope Bibi Dong. If they were entering the Star Dou Forest, then Bibi Dong's Heng and Ha Generals would definitely be nearby as well.

Ye Liangchen was only a Level 14 little Soul Master right now and had no desire to deal with people from such major powers. Especially since the Ghost Chrysanthemum Duo were Level 95 Titled Douluo. If they discovered that he was a super genius, it would be troublesome.

But life was unpredictable. Even if you didn't go looking for trouble, trouble would always come looking for you. After the three young people finished shopping, they happened to walk toward Ye Liangchen's group.

Beautiful women were the center of attention everywhere. Although the Lan Xiao Die sisters and Su Lin wore cloaks that concealed their stunning faces, their curvaceous and exquisite figures still drew attention.

The moment Hu Liena saw Ye Liangchen's face, her eyes lit up. She had never seen such an adorable little boy before.

"Brother! Look! That little boy is so cute!"

Hu Liena was innocent and loved pretty faces. The moment she saw Ye Liangchen's soft and adorable appearance, she was deeply drawn to him.

"Na Na! Aren't all children like that?" Xie Yue smiled, feeling rather helpless about his younger sister.

"It's different. I've never seen such a cute little brother before." Hu Liena stared fixedly at Ye Liangchen, really wanting to pinch his little cheeks.

"Na Na! What's so good about him? He's just a child. I'm cute too." Yan glanced at the little boy. Seeing the Goddess in his heart staring at that little fellow made him feel miserable.

"Pfft! Yan! Why don't you look in a mirror? How could you possibly compare with that little brother?" Hu Liena gave Yan a look of deep disdain.

But those words instantly provoked Yan and made him lose his mind. He pointed at Ye Liangchen and shouted furiously.

"Hey! Kid, you look like a Soul Master too, right? Fight me!"

Yan had always liked Hu Liena. Whenever he saw her praise another man, he lost his reason. Even if the other party was just a child, he still could not accept it.

Ye Liangchen was completely dumbfounded by red-haired Yan's antics. This guy truly deserved to be Hu Liena's ultimate simp.

From the novels in his previous life, Ye Liangchen knew that Douluo Continent had several legendary simps. Red-haired Yan was Hu Liena's ultimate simp, yet he still failed in the end. Some others succeeded, while others did not. For example, Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong were Yu Xiaogang's simps, while Flender was Liu Erlong's simp. Oscar was Ning Rongrong's simp, and Feng Xiaotian was Huo Wu's simp. Those two eventually succeeded. There were many others, though none were as extreme as these simps.

Qian Renxue and Hu Liena had originally been enemies of Tang San, yet both developed complicated feelings for him. That could also be described as simp behavior.

Ye Liangchen felt that these people had something seriously wrong with their brains. As the saying went: simps, simps—at the end of it all, they got nothing.

"Yan! What are you doing? Do you have no shame at all?"

Hu Liena and Xie Yue watched Yan lose his mind and held their foreheads, unable to bear the sight. A near Soul Elder challenging a six-year-old child—where would that leave the Golden Generation's reputation?

"Kid, do you dare accept?"

Red-haired Yan pointed at Ye Liangchen. After Hu Liena's remark, his anger only grew.

Ye Liangchen was speechless. This guy was simply a rabid dog, biting people the moment he showed up. Ye Liangchen had not even offended him.

"Why should I fight you? It's not like there's something wrong with my brain." Ye Liangchen shot back.

"Damn it!" Hearing the little boy mention something wrong with his brain, Yan felt as though he were being mocked and became furious.

"Haha...! Yan! Even a little kid can tell there's something wrong with your brain." Xie Yue immediately burst into laughter.

"Kid! I won't bully you for being young. I'll only use my First Spirit Ability and fight you."

After being mocked by Xie Yue, red-haired Yan realized that he had been somewhat impulsive. So he proposed using only his First Spirit Ability to challenge Ye Liangchen. He simply found the boy unpleasant to look at.

"Your name is Yan, right? Thirteen years old, nearly a Soul Elder, yet you're challenging a six-year-old child. Do you have no shame?"

Lan Xiao Die pulled Ye Liangchen protectively into her arms and coldly rebuked Yan, releasing the aura of a Soul Douluo.

If not for the two Titled Douluo hidden nearby, she would have already taught that boy a lesson.

"My lady! Sorry about that. Yan has water in his brain."

"Please don't lower yourself to his level. We'll take him away immediately."

Seeing that the other party's elder was angry, Xie Yue and Hu Liena immediately pulled Yan back and apologized to Lan Xiao Die.

"What are you doing?"

At that moment, two powerful figures appeared before everyone. One was a man with an alluring figure and a somewhat flirtatious appearance—he was likely Chrysanthemum Douluo. The other wore black robes and had black markings on his face, giving him a mysterious air—he was likely Ghost Douluo.

When those two old men appeared, Ye Liangchen sensed Soul Power fluctuations around his body. They had likely used Soul Power to probe him.

Ye Liangchen was not too worried about their probing. As long as they dared to harbor any ill intentions, he would immediately activate the Silver Dragon King's Inverse Scale and summon the super-enforcer Di Tian to handle the problem.

"Greetings, Your Excellencies."

Before Titled Douluo, the Lan Xiao Die sisters and Su Lin could only bow respectfully. That was the rule for Soul Masters across the continent.

"Ladies, we apologize. Our poor discipline has caused you trouble."

"Yan! You have disgraced our Spirit Hall this time. When we return, you will be punished with half a year of wall-facing reflection."

After learning the course of events from Hu Liena, Chrysanthemum Douluo first apologized to Lan Xiao Die and the others, then reprimanded Yan.

"There is no need for Your Excellencies to be so serious. It was only a squabble between children, nothing more."

"We'll be on our way, then."

The Lan Xiao Die sisters bid farewell to the Ghost Chrysanthemum Duo, then led Ye Liangchen away to wait for the carriage.

"Clip-clop, clip-clop..."

At that moment, Su Lin drove the carriage out from the inn's rear courtyard. Ye Liangchen and the others quickly climbed into the carriage and left Soul Hunting Town.

"Sister! I didn't expect them to really be from Spirit Hall. That was close."

"Fortunately, the two Ghost Chrysanthemum Titled Douluo didn't investigate Little Chen's Martial Soul, or he would have been exposed."

After the carriage traveled for a while, the Lan Xiao Die sisters finally let out sighs of relief.

"Su Lin! Pick up the pace." Lan Xiao Die called out to Su Lin, who was driving.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister!"

"Hyah..."

Su Lin cracked the whip and drove the carriage at high speed along the main road.

Meanwhile, the Ghost Chrysanthemum Duo were curious about Lan Xiao Die and the others' identities.

"One Soul Douluo and two Soul Saints! Old Ghost, do you know who they are?"

"All three are women, and they possess such strength. Could they be from Skywater Academy?"

"That's quite possible. Only Skywater Academy's teachers would possess such formidable strength."

As Titled Douluo, the Ghost Chrysanthemum Duo were shrewd and knowledgeable. They quickly inferred Lan Xiao Die and the others' identities.

"Two Elders, if they're from Skywater Academy, then who is that little boy?"

"Didn't Skywater Academy say that it doesn't accept male students?"

As Bibi Dong's disciple, Hu Liena knew Skywater Academy's rules well. She was now extremely curious about that little boy's identity.

"Na Na, this is only our guess. That little boy has only just awakened his Martial Soul. We don't even know which academy he belongs to yet." Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head.

"That little boy is not ordinary. At only six years old, he has already obtained his first Spirit Ring and become a Soul Master."

"He is definitely a genius with Innate Full Soul Power."

When Ghost Douluo had sensed Ye Liangchen's Soul Power earlier, he had been shocked as well. Geniuses of that level were exceedingly rare.

"Innate Full Soul Power?"

The Xie Yue siblings and Yan cried out in surprise. They had not expected to encounter such a genius on a trip to Soul Hunting Town. Hu Liena became even more interested in the little boy. She herself possessed Innate Full Soul Power, which was why the Female Pope Bibi Dong had accepted her as a disciple.

"Once we return to Spirit Hall, we'll report this matter to the Pope and have the Heavenly Water City Spirit Hall bishop investigate. For now, our priority is obtaining the third Spirit Rings for Xie Yue and Yan."

The Ghost Chrysanthemum Duo led Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan swiftly toward the Star Dou Forest.

In their impression, among the Five Element Academies, only Godwind Academy had produced a genius with Innate Full Soul Power.

Spirit Hall placed great importance on geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power. Now that another had appeared, they had to uncover his background.
