West of Wuhun Hall, on the training grounds.

Dressed in white, Jiang Chen fixed his gaze on the three people training in the arena—the Golden Generation of Wuhun Hall.

The three worked together seamlessly. Like an elder sister, Hu Liena was summarizing their tactics for the other two.

Jiang Chen slowly walked toward them. "Senior Sister, why didn't you call me over for training?"

The three turned around in unison, their eyes fixed on the approaching Jiang Chen.

"What are you here for?"

"Me? I'm here to command you..."

"We need your guidance? Other than cultivating, what else can you do?"

Hu Liena had not seen Jiang Chen for two years. She only knew that he had been cultivating in Autumn Pavilion all this time and rarely went out. The last time she saw him, he had already surpassed her by several levels.

"Teacher has permitted me to serve as the team leader for this Advanced Soul Master Tournament."

"So tell me, can I command you? Unless... you withdraw from the competition!"

"Otherwise, all of you will have to follow my arrangements!"

The three stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief. "Why? I refuse to accept this!"

Yan spoke up indignantly.

Yan knew exactly how much Hu Liena had prepared for this Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Over the past month, the Golden Generation had been working hard to discuss strategies and make up for their tactical shortcomings.

If Jiang Chen had not appeared, Hu Liena would definitely have been the team leader this time. Among the Golden Generation, Yan had the deepest feelings for Hu Liena. He did not want her efforts over so long to go to waste.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully triggering a choice: Choice One: Face Yan's refusal and suppress him by force. Reward: Ten-Million-Year Soul Ring. Choice Two: Face Yan's refusal and give the team leader position to Hu Liena. Reward: one level of soul power."

System, aren't you forcing me to make a choice?

I'm stuck at level one hundred and can't raise my cultivation any further. What use is soul power to me?

However, Jiang Chen did not need to act personally to get things done. Over the past ten years, he had summoned one Title Douluo every week. Although five summons had failed, he still had more than five hundred Limit Douluos under his command—enough to sweep across the entire continent.

Jiang Chen was preparing to make a move against Tang San at the Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Although Xiao Wu was not by Tang San's side, his subordinates' investigation had revealed that Tang San had encountered a woman transformed from a Ten-Thousand-Year Bloodthirsty Grass, named Leng Ningxue. That meant the events from the original anime would likely occur as well.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had already gathered several hundred subordinates, waiting in secret for his command. The moment he gave the order, the pressure of a hundred Limit Douluos would cover the entire arena. Even if gods descended upon the world, they would not escape death!

"System, I choose option one."

"Congratulations, Host, for making your choice. Reward: Ten-Million-Year Soul Ring."

"It has been placed in the system inventory. Please check it!"

"System, you know what you're doing~"

"You don't accept this?!"

"I'll give you a chance to challenge me. If you defeat me, it's not impossible for me to give up the team leader position."

"You arrogant brat! Don't think I won't beat you just because you're the Holy Son!"

Hu Liena immediately grabbed Yan, her face full of concern. "Yan, don't be impulsive."

"Sis, don't worry. Watch me beat this brat who doesn't know his place into a pulp!"

Hu Liena knew Jiang Chen's strength because she had fought him two years ago.

"Actually... the three of you can come at me together."

"Brat, what are you being so arrogant for?"

"Ah~ There are only a handful of people in this world worthy of catching my eye. What are you lot even supposed to be?!"

Yan exploded with rage. Was that how Jiang Chen wanted to talk?

"Fine, the three of us will attack together. We can also test out our combination technique!"

Hu Liena spoke.

For a time, news that the Golden Generation of Wuhun Hall would be sparring with the elusive Holy Son Jiang Chen spread like wildfire. The area outside the training grounds was packed with people.

"Hey, brother, who do you think will win?"

"Hard to say. Holy Son Jiang Chen rarely shows himself, so no one knows his true strength. But I favor the Holy Maiden and the others. After all, the three of them are three of the four strongest people in Wuhun Hall. Facing just one Holy Son should be easy enough."

"..."

On the training grounds, the Golden Generation took up their formation, with Hu Liena at the front.

"Junior Brother, you'd better be careful."

"Do you think I'd be afraid of you?"

Yan's flames shot straight toward Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen retreated, and a smug smile appeared on Hu Liena's lips.

When Jiang Chen looked up, he saw Hu Liena's sharp fox claws, formed after her Martial Soul possessed her, striking at him. At the same time, Xie Yue wielded his curved blades from the side, cutting off Jiang Chen's retreat.

"First Soul Skill, Myriad Leaf Willow Blades!"

An Azure Lotus appeared before Jiang Chen. Flecks of azure light bloomed as willow leaves slowly materialized, then flew toward Hu Liena and Xie Yue with the force of thunder.

Hu Liena could only dodge aside, while Xie Yue blocked every willow leaf with his twin blades, producing a piercing screech.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen lightly leaped away, and Xie Yue's attack missed.

Jiang Chen hovered in the air. A trace of silvery-white light flowed across the Azure Lotus. "Second Soul Skill, Lotusfall from the Nine Heavens, Ride the Wind and Fly."

"Third Soul Skill, Nightfall: Falling Stars!"

Another streak of black light appeared upon the Azure Lotus.

A wild wind danced around him, making Jiang Chen's sleeves snap loudly as his long hair streamed behind him. He looked like a god presiding over the mortal realm, holding the power of life and death over all things.

Countless white stars surged behind Jiang Chen, wrapping around him like stars surrounding the moon.

"Go!"

With a single word from Jiang Chen, the stars rushed toward the Golden Generation as though ministers had received an imperial decree from their king.

This was a devastating large-scale attack. Jiang Chen's Martial Soul truly was absurdly powerful; merely its first three soul skills were already so terrifying.

"Dodge!"

Hu Liena anxiously shouted at the other two.

In an instant, the three-person formation was thrown into complete chaos.

"Damn it! Lordflame Earth, sweep away all sin in this world!"

Several pillars of blazing fire erupted from the ground, like the fury unleashed by a king sleeping within volcanic magma.

Jiang Chen stepped through the air and evaded them. Those flames did not even touch the corner of his clothes.

"No, he's in the air. We can't hit him."

"Then force him down!"

"Yan, lock down his movements."

"Xie Yue, use the Martial Soul fusion skill!"

"Blazing Inferno!"

Endless flames spread across the training grounds, while a sinister fox radiated a dangerous aura.

"Junior Brother, let's see how you dodge now!"

Several sharp white slashes shot out. Jiang Chen used his first soul skill to block them all, and they vanished completely. Then an incomparably bewitching face entered his sight, bearing an alluring smile.

"Charm."

Jiang Chen immediately lost consciousness. For some reason, his mind was filled with love for Hu Liena. He would have willingly died for her.

"Junior Brother, why don't you come down here~"

"Alright, Senior Sister."

Jiang Chen rushed forward and wrapped an arm around Hu Liena's waist, feeling that she was utterly captivating.

Hu Liena no longer concealed her triumphant smile. As long as Jiang Chen landed, the three of them would attack together before he regained his senses. Then Jiang Chen would undoubtedly lose.

"Senior Sister, you're so beautiful. I want to kiss you~"

Before Hu Liena could react, Jiang Chen could no longer resist those tempting red lips and kissed her. Hu Liena's alluring eyes widened, and her mind went completely blank.

"Brat, you're courting death!!"

Yan roared madly. He had completely lost his reason. Hu Liena was the woman he had set his sights on. No other man was worthy of the noble Hu Liena, yet Jiang Chen dared to defile her. It was utterly unforgivable.

At that moment, Jiang Chen suddenly regained his senses. Looking at the fair face so close to his, feeling the soft warmth on his lips, his eyes became even more bewildered. Wait, who was this person in front of him?!

"Senior... Senior Sister, if I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"
