Spirit Hall's Golden Generation Arrives

At dusk, dazzling starlight blanketed the skies above the entire Douluo Continent.

Within the brightly lit Star Dou Forest, Osler had successfully absorbed the Shadow Leopard's Soul Ring and stepped into the Soul Ancestor realm.

Osler clapped happily and shouted, "Hahaha, I, Osler, am a Soul Ancestor now! Let's see if the captain still looks down on disciples like us without the backing of a Title Douluo."

"Congratulations."

Shimo stepped forward and congratulated him. "Next, it's time to find Soul Beasts for us. I took a look earlier, and there happen to be Soul Beasts nearby that suit Shimo and me. You'll have to put in some effort next."

Osler said with a smile, "No problem. Leave it to me from here on out. Just make sure to treat me to a meal afterward."

"Don't rush to obtain any more Soul Rings yet. Ling Ling, my master asked me to bring this Soul Beast for you to absorb."

Azure Dragon Consultation approached, carrying a battered Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, and casually tossed it at Ye Lingling's feet. "I've already restrained its limbs, so there won't be any trouble. You can kill it directly and obtain its Soul Ring."

Seeing that it was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, not only Ye Lingling but everyone else stared in astonishment, hardly believing their eyes.

This... was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast!

Ye Lingling's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she looked up and asked, "Senior Shang Que, are you sure Teacher wants me to absorb this Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast's Soul Ring?"

Shang Que nodded. "This was arranged by my master. He said you only need to absorb it and needn't concern yourself with anything else. You don't need to bear any burden either. Your teacher has already taken care of everything for you."

After hearing that her teacher had already handled it all, Ye Lingling did not hesitate. She took a dagger from her Soul Tool and viciously drove it into the Soul Beast's head.

After the Soul Beast struggled for a while, an ink-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring silently appeared before everyone's eyes. At the same time, the energy belonging to a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring shrouded the area, and in an instant, Osler and the others felt an unprecedented pressure.

Ye Lingling let out a warm breath. This was also her first time coming into contact with a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Even she felt her heart race beneath the pressure radiated by the black Soul Ring.

However, remembering that this was personally instructed by her teacher, Ye Lingling did not think too much about it. She sat cross-legged and began drawing the Soul Ring onto her martial soul, waiting for the pain caused by the Soul Ring's impact.

Yet after waiting for a long time, Ye Lingling never felt the pain of her martial soul being torn apart. Instead, it felt as though she were cultivating. Not only was nothing wrong, but she felt exceptionally relaxed.

Ye Lingling was astonished. Could Teacher be helping me?

In another direction, Lin Yuan's finger rested in the air. With every tap, the energy in the air weakened slightly.

At the same time, a continuous stream of energy poured into Ye Lingling's body, preventing her from feeling any pain from the Soul Ring at all.

With the aid of a Title Douluo, Yufeng was so envious that he was nearly in tears. He thought to himself in a choked voice, Ling Ling became the disciple of a Title Douluo. When will I, Yufeng, ever have a level-ninety teacher too?!

Ye Lingling's aura gradually stabilized, and even the previously rampaging Soul Ring calmed down, which meant that Ye Lingling had successfully absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

This sight drew the envy and jealousy of many, but there was nothing they could do. After all, her teacher was the youngest Title Douluo on Douluo Continent.

If they had the youngest Title Douluo as their teacher too, who knew how many-year-old a Soul Ring they could absorb.

"Someone actually absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. I never expected little Douluo Continent to be so full of hidden talent."

Just as Ye Lingling was about to finish absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, a group of elite Soul Masters dressed in black robes and carrying weapons walked over from not far away.

At the front was a man with short black hair. On either side of him stood a man and a woman. The man had long fiery-red hair cascading down his back, and even his eyes were dark red.

His appearance was equally ordinary, but like the short-haired young man before him, he exuded an intangible aura.

The only woman among the three had long black hair and bore some resemblance to the man at the front.

All three of them wore nearly identical expressions. At first glance, the girl did not seem particularly beautiful, but upon closer inspection, one could sense an unusual charm about her.

Shimo immediately stepped in front of Ye Lingling and asked with knitted brows, "Who are you people?"

"Don't be nervous. We only came here to hunt Soul Beasts. We happened to see a Soul Ancestor absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, so we stopped to observe."

The black-haired young man at the front smiled faintly, but the Moon Blade in his hand reflected the clear moonlight, giving off an eerie, icy gleam.

"A Soul Ancestor absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and it looks like she has already succeeded. She truly is a genius among geniuses. Which faction do you belong to?"

The black-haired young man asked.

"We are disciples of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Friend, judging by your appearance, you should be from Spirit Hall, right?"

Osler was meticulous in his thinking and had guessed their identities. He spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yue, who stood at the front, immediately laughed. "Hehehe, as expected of disciples from Heaven Dou Royal Academy. You truly are clever. That's right, we are Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. This is my sister, Hu Liena, and this is Yan."

"Originally, we had no intention of interfering in Heaven Dou Royal Academy's affairs, but you should have a teacher leading you on this trip. Where is your teacher?"

Xie Yue's gaze swept across the crowd, as if searching for information about Heaven Dou Royal Academy's teacher. At the same time, he had already begun making calculations in his heart.

Hu Liena, whose mind was linked with his, transmitted her voice to him. "Brother, you mean..."

"That's right. There's only a little over a year until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy disciples before us should be one of the participating teams. They have all broken through to the Soul Ancestor realm at such a young age, and they even possess Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings. If we let them continue, they may cause us unnecessary trouble."

"Moreover, His Excellency the Pope has already revealed the reward for this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament: the soul bones prepared for us. Anyone who threatens us cannot be allowed to reach Spirit Hall alive."

Xie Yue's voice was icy to the bone, as though he had already made it clear to Hu Liena that none of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's disciples would be leaving this place alive today.
