Crushing the Golden Generation!

They had never imagined that a man even younger than themselves could possess such terrifying strength?!

Yan was only twenty-five, yet he was already a Soul King!

But before Qian Renchu, he had been utterly incapable of resisting.

"Stop right there!"

"I don't care who you are! I am His Holiness the Pope's only disciple. Release Yan immediately!!"

Hu Liena shouted furiously.

Though she did not know Qian Renchu's identity, she was Bibi Dong's disciple.

Within Spirit Hall, no one had ever dared offend her!!

"Oh? Is that so?" Qian Renchu sneered.

The next instant, the same oppressive force that had crushed Yan descended upon Hu Liena. Qian Renchu's Soul Power forced her straight to her knees!

Her knees struck the ground, flesh and blood instantly mangled until bone was visible!!

The tearing pain twisted Hu Liena's face in agony!

Qian Renchu showed not the slightest mercy.

This Hu Liena had been nothing more than a fool from Spirit Hall in the original story, love-addled and just like her teacher—a thankless traitor to Spirit Hall!!

Not killing her was already the greatest mercy he could offer!!

"Little sister!" Xie Yue and the others cried out in shock. "Get him!"

As soon as Xie Yue spoke, he charged at Qian Renchu with the other members of the Spirit Hall Team.

"Overestimating yourselves!" Qian Renchu sneered. With a light sweep of his sleeve, Xie Yue and the others were flung away. Each of them was embedded in the wall before crashing heavily to the ground, unable to rise!

"Brother!"

Hu Liena roared in pain.

"You... you dare!"

"I'll tell Teacher and have her..."

Before Hu Liena could finish, Qian Renchu swept his sleeve again, sending her flying into the wall with a heavy impact.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell how many of her bones had shattered.

At last, she slid down the wall and lay motionless on the ground, covered in blood!

"Shrek Academy, you're next!"

With that, Qian Renchu walked out of the underground resting room with an icy expression.

"His Holiness the Pope has arrived!"

A thunderous cry rose before Pope Hall.

Everyone who heard it was startled.

No one had expected the Pope of Spirit Hall to personally oversee this competition!!

Then, beneath the gazes of countless people, the great central doors of Pope Hall slowly opened.

Dressed in magnificent robes and wearing the Nine-Curved Purple-Gold Crown, Bibi Dong emerged slowly, staff in hand.

"His Holiness the Pope—that is the spiritual leader of the Soul Master world, His Holiness the Pope!"

"My heavens, she's so beautiful."

"I never expected His Holiness the Pope to be so young."

The Pope of Spirit Hall held an incomparably exalted status, and ordinary Soul Masters rarely had the chance to glimpse her appearance. Now that they saw Bibi Dong's cold and noble beauty, countless Soul Masters revealed looks of delight.

Bibi Dong remained indifferent, seemingly paying no heed to the noise of the world.

She walked to the throne prepared in advance and sat down with imposing authority.

Xiaogang, you really came! Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Xiaogang from the corner of her eye, her heart brimming with excitement.

The reason she had specifically attended the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament Finals and deliberately moved the arena before Pope Hall

was to see Yu Xiaogang again!

Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang—especially Liu Erlong beside him—Bibi Dong's fury surged. If not for those beasts, Qian Xunji, Qian Renxue, Qian Renchu, and the entire Qian Clan,

the woman by Yu Xiaogang's side should have been Bibi Dong.

Xiaogang, seeing you with Liu Erlong again! Bibi Dong's eyes blazed with rage. It has only strengthened my resolve to wipe out the Qian Clan!

Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and those two wretches, Qian Renchu—I will personally torture them to death!! I will make the entire Qian Clan wish they were dead!!

"Next, we will reveal the prizes for this Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament!" the host announced.

Three red cloths placed before the gathered Soul Masters were lifted, and dazzling light instantly filled everyone's view.

Within that radiance were three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones!

"Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones—they really are Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones!"

"Spirit Hall really went all out, offering Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones as prizes."

"What a pity they aren't mine. Sigh!"

Seeing the three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, the audience revealed expressions of intense envy.

On Douluo Continent, the value of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone needed no explanation.

Once, two great kingdoms had even started a war over a single Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone! (Original story)

"These three are the Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm Bone, the Swift Forwarding Wind-Chasing Left Leg Bone, and the Spirit-Concentrating Wisdom Skull!" the host continued. "They will be awarded to the champion team of this Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament Finals!"

"Now, please welcome both teams onto the stage!"

The host shouted at the top of his lungs.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shrek Academy strode onto the arena with their heads held high, every step brimming with confidence.

"Damn! They really are Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones!" Ma Hongjun's eyes gleamed. "If I could get just one, picking up girls would be so much easier!"

"It looks like Spirit Hall is determined to win this match. Otherwise, they wouldn't have offered such enormous rewards, because they believe these Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones will definitely belong to the Spirit Hall Team." Dai Mubai sneered.

"Then we'll completely shatter their fantasies!!" Tang San smiled disdainfully.

Tang San had always refused to yield to anyone.

The more confident Spirit Hall was, the more he wanted to prove to them who the true champion of this tournament would be.

Destroying others' confidence was Tang San's greatest joy as a transmigrator!!

"The Shrek Team—they're Shrek Academy's team, the biggest dark horse of this tournament!"

"Haha, I have a feeling Shrek Academy will be the champion this time."

"I heard Tang San of the Shrek Academy Team has Twin Martial Souls, and one of them is even the Clear Sky Hammer!!"

"Xiaogang, do you think the little monsters can win?" Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang with slight nervousness.

"I have already done everything I can." Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression proud. "I've also taught Xiaosan and the others the tactics to counter the Spirit Hall Team. Whether they can win is up to them."

Yu Xiaogang's meaning was already clear.

As a master, he had already done his very best.

And no one could have done better than him!

As for the result, that would depend on the strength of the Shrek Team!

"As expected of you, Xiaogang!" Liu Erlong beamed.

"Uncle Sword, I never thought that one day Rongrong would be able to stand on the stage of the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament Finals." Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong with overwhelming excitement.

"This isn't a dream. Rongrong has truly grown up." Beside Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo revealed a kindly smile.

"Then, Uncle Sword, who do you think will win this competition?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"Spirit Hall has brought out three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones as prizes, which shows they are determined to win!"

"However, their wishful thinking will likely come to nothing. The Spirit Hall Team may be strong, but the Shrek Team has gathered people from the Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family. I cannot imagine what the Spirit Hall Team could possibly use to win!"

"Especially Tang San. I have a feeling that one day, he will become the most dazzling person in all of Douluo Continent!"

Sword Douluo smiled confidently.

"Mm!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

"Now that you've said that, Uncle Sword, I can rest easy."

"But then again, why hasn't the Spirit Hall Team come out yet?"

The spectators, the Shrek Team, and even the host were all somewhat puzzled.

The Shrek Academy Team had already taken the stage.

Where was the Spirit Hall Team?

"Why is no one from the Spirit Hall Team coming out?"

"Could they have forfeited?"

"That can't be possible, can it? Those are three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. No matter how wealthy Spirit Hall is, they wouldn't forfeit at a time like this!"

"Strange, where are Nana and the others?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked in surprise.

"Nana has always been steady and reliable. How could she drop the ball at such a crucial moment?" Ghost Douluo shook his head as well. "Could something have happened?"

Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly.

She could not help feeling puzzled. No, Nana would never behave so frivolously. Could it be...

At that moment, dark clouds began gathering in the sky, and faint flashes of lightning flickered within them.

A fierce wind rose.

Many people looked up at the sky in surprise. They felt that this seemingly ordinary wind and rain was somewhat unusual!

"I'm here!"

At the same time, a young yet commanding voice resounded throughout the arena!

Everyone followed the sound and saw a figure calmly emerge from the Spirit Hall Team's entrance passage!

He was too handsome, his features impossibly exquisite, tall and slender, his physique eclipsing all others.

He seemed like an immortal cast down into the mortal world, having crossed through endless ages without gathering even a trace of worldly dust,

yet he also seemed like a battle immortal amid the mundane world, exuding an unrivaled divine might!

Everyone's gaze was drawn to Qian Renchu's face.

The young women of Skywater Academy in particular felt their hearts stir with springtime warmth.

They had never expected Spirit Hall to have such a handsome man who had never shown himself before.

Qian Renxue, especially, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe, was overwhelmed with excitement. Brother—this was her brother.

How could her brother be this handsome?!

However, everyone soon realized something was wrong.

Qian Renchu had come out through the Spirit Hall Team's passage?

Where were the rest of the Spirit Hall Team?

Where was the Golden Generation?

"It's him! Young Master Qian Renchu!" Chrysanthemum Douluo recognized Qian Renchu, his face filled with shock.

It would have been impossible not to recognize him.

Qian Renchu had just beaten him up yesterday!

"Qian Renchu came out through the Spirit Hall Team's passage?" Ghost Douluo was horrified.

"This is bad, Nana!" Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo cried out in alarm and hurried toward the underground room where the Spirit Hall Team rested.

"It really is him!" Bibi Dong recognized Qian Renchu as well.

This wretch of the Qian Clan, whom she had once tried to kill several times!!

In Bibi Dong's eyes, Qian Renchu deserved not the slightest trace of familial affection.

Because the filthy blood of the Qian Clan flowed within him.

Bibi Dong could never acknowledge that this wretch was her son.

She simply treated it as though she had cut herself and a piece of rotten flesh had fallen away!!

"Wretch, what did you dare do to Nana? Once the match ends, I will be the first to grind your bones to dust!!" Bibi Dong watched Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo leave, fury blazing in her eyes.

"Xiaogang, who is he?" Flender looked at Qian Renchu in surprise. "Such an imposing presence—why have we never seen him before?"

"What does a strong presence matter? Hah, is Spirit Hall planning to have one person fight seven little monsters?" Liu Erlong sneered. "Looks like Shrek Academy has this match in the bag!"

"What do you think, Xiaogang?"

"Correct!"

Yu Xiaogang had always been rather confident.

Now, he was even more certain of himself.

"Based on my theoretical deductions and understanding,"

"there is no Soul Master under twenty-five who can take on the Soul Master team formed by Xiaosan and the others alone! Spirit Hall is guaranteed to lose this time!" Yu Xiaogang smiled confidently.

"Even Xiaogang says so. Looks like the championship is secure!" Flender burst into laughter.

In his heart, Yu Xiaogang might have been arrogant,

but he was absolutely dependable.

Since Yu Xiaogang had said so, Flender could simply sit back and wait to collect the money!!
