First Battle - Martial Soul Hall's Golden Generation

"Who are these people from the Martial Soul Hall?" Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and others immediately became alert.

Qian Yu frowned slightly.

He hadn't expected to deal with people from the Martial Soul Hall so soon.

And they were from Bibi Dong's faction.

"This is going to be troublesome," Qian Yu muttered.

"Kid, didn't you hear me tell you to stop just now?" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, along with three young people from the Martial Soul Hall, had already landed in front of Qian Yu and the others.

The one speaking was the young man in red.

The red-clothed youth's armor was scorched and mottled, with multiple cracks and curled edges. His palm bore a burning red mark, and his surrounding flame Soul Power fluctuated weakly as he suppressed his heavy breaths.

He had clearly just gone through a fierce battle.

The silver-fir youth and the purple-clothed girl were not much better off.

As the red-clothed youth spoke, he was about to lunge for the Shadow Moon Demon Wolf.

How could Qian Yu let him succeed?

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, is this how you indulge your Martial Soul Hall people?" Sword Douluo was not a patient man. Seeing the red-clothed youth acting dishonorably and trying to snatch Zhu Zhuqing's spirit beast, he immediately attacked.

Sword Douluo struck out, a sword energy flying out.

He was about to stop the red-clothed youth.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were not to be trifled with either. They both unleashed their Soul Power to resist Sword Douluo's attack.

"Sword Douluo, I advise you to take your people and leave honestly. The Martial Soul Hall's Saintess and her companions are hunting for spirit rings, so bystanders should stay away," Chrysanthemum Douluo said, frowning slightly as he exerted force to block Sword Douluo's attack.

"As expected, it's the Martial Soul Hall's Golden Generation," Qian Yu sighed inwardly. Only the Martial Soul Hall's Golden Generation would warrant the escort of two Title Douluo like Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo for hunting spirit rings.

"What nonsense Golden Generation? I only know that hunting spirit beasts has a first come, first served basis. Now that the spirit beast is injured by us, you come to snatch it. The Martial Soul Hall certainly has a lot of nerve," Ning Rongrong, as the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was not accustomed to being robbed of spirit rings. She immediately stepped forward to retort to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

She simultaneously released her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, to showcase her identity as a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Indeed, as soon as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared...

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the Martial Soul Hall's Golden Generation all trembled: "A direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?" What they feared most was Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

This piece of information was too important.

It was important enough to affect a series of plans for the Martial Soul Hall later on.

The three members of the Golden Generation exchanged glances. Fortunately, only their eyes revealed intense fighting intent.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances, immediately knowing they had to relay this information back to the Martial Soul Hall and report it to Pope Bibi Dong.

"What nonsense first come, first served? Can't you see this spirit beast is injured?" The red-clothed youth, with his fiery temper, directly retorted to Ning Rongrong. As he spoke, he unleashed his spirit, the Flame Lord, and his level 40 Soul Ancestor Soul Power pressed down on Ning Rongrong, a support-type soul master.

"You, you..." After all, the Douluo Continent respected strength. Ning Rongrong, as a support-type soul master, was almost scorched by the intense flames.

It was Dugu Yan who stepped forward, releasing her Azure Spirit Snake Emperor spirit and her level 40 Soul Ancestor Soul Power, fiercely protecting the support-type soul master Ning Rongrong. At the same time, the Azure Spirit Snake Emperor spirit released a chilling Soul Power, suppressing the red-clothed youth's Flame Lord, and even gaining a slight advantage. In a short while, the red-clothed youth could no longer withstand the Azure Spirit Snake Emperor's Soul Power and retreated a few steps.

"You, you..." Now it was the red-clothed youth's turn to be speechless. He still wanted to unleash his spirit and fight Dugu Yan directly.

"Enough, Yan. Your spirit quality is inferior to hers," the purple-clothed girl stopped the red-clothed youth, Yan.

"Nana, don't worry. I was just exhausted from the previous battle and made a mistake, which is why this person gained the upper hand."

"Don't worry, in a real fight, I'll make her beg for life and death."

Yan panted heavily and patted his chest as he assured Hu Liena. The purple-clothed girl was none other than the Martial Soul Hall's Saintess, Hu Liena. Then the silver-fir youth must be the last member of the Golden Generation, Xie Yue.

Qian Yu thought so.

"Enough. Yan, you retreat first," Chrysanthemum Douluo said.

Originally, he had been pleased to see Yan step out to suppress Sword Douluo and his group.

After all, disputes among the younger generation on the Douluo Continent were not something for them, seasoned Title Douluo, to interfere in.

Moreover, the Martial Soul Hall group clearly had the advantage in strength.

But he hadn't expected Dugu Yan, who was unknown, to have reached the level of a level 40 Soul Ancestor at such a young age, and her spirit quality was actually higher than that of the Martial Soul Hall's Golden Generation.

This forced them to be vigilant.

"Sword Douluo, since we are all here to hunt spirit rings for the younger generation, why don't we follow the rules of the Douluo Continent and let them have a match? The victor gets this Shadow Moon Demon Wolf," Chrysanthemum Douluo did not want to directly conflict with Sword Douluo. After all, he and Ghost Douluo were tasked with escorting Hu Liena and the other two, and they could not abandon them for a spirit beast.

Sword Douluo looked at the Martial Soul Hall's Golden Generation, all of whom were level 40 Soul Ancestors, and couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong? Scared, aren't you? Weren't you quite arrogant just now?"

At this moment, Yan added insult to injury.

"Who said we're scared?"

"But I'm a support-type soul master. You can't expect me to fight a support-type soul master, can you?" Ning Rongrong stepped forward again to reply.

"Hmph, I certainly wouldn't bully you weaklings. How about this, let the strongest among you come out and fight me one-on-one. If you win, the spirit beast is yours." Yan couldn't resist Ning Rongrong's taunts.

"Yan..." Hu Liena and Xie Yue tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo wanted to stop Yan, but they were defeated by his bluntness.

Sword Douluo, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, Ye Lingling, and Zhu Zhuqing gave Ning Rongrong a thumbs-up.

Helplessly, the wager was set.

"Xie Yue, you will take the field for this duel," Chrysanthemum Douluo commanded, pointing directly at the trio including Hu Liena.

Yan curled his lip to the side, but ultimately stomped his foot under the death glare of Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Xie Yue, defeat them and uphold the prestige of Martial Soul Hall," Yan cheered, encouraging Xie Yue.

"Brother, good luck," Hu Liena also cheered for Xie Yue.

"Sword Douluo, we have chosen our representative. Martial Soul Hall will send out Xie Yue. What about you? Will you choose that young girl with the Azure Spirit Snake Emperor martial soul from earlier?" Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed certain that Sword Douluo would choose Dugu Yan.

After all, based on the observations of two Title Douluo like Chrysanthemum and Ghost, Dugu Yan possessed the highest cultivation among Qian Yu and the others.

Hu Liena and the others thought the same.

What they did not know was that Qian Yu had long since used Spirit Simulation to conceal their cultivation levels, while simultaneously masking the aura of Xiao Wu's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast status.

Otherwise, the moment Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, or Sword Douluo had first laid eyes on Xiao Wu, they would have captured and kept her in captivity.

They would have used her to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone in the future.

"Qian Yu, you take this duel!" To their surprise, Sword Douluo flashed a sinister and eerie smile at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
