Chapter 9 The First Generation of the Golden Age? Let Me Test Him.
The next morning, Ouyang excitedly ran off to find Bibi Dong.
"Your Majesty! Last night I observed the celestial phenomena and performed some calculations, and I discovered that the Spirit Hall possesses three generals whose brilliance shines brightly, promising a promising future!"
As soon as they met, Ouyang put on the airs of a charlatan.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with surprise, which quickly turned into joy.
She knew that Ouyang was referring to the Golden Generation: Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.
Even His Highness the Divine Child said their future was promising, so it seems my judgment was indeed correct.
"Your Highness is absolutely right."
Bibi Dong nodded with a smile.
"What brings Your Highness to summon them?"
"I wouldn't call it giving advice."
Ouyang waved his hand, his little face feigning seriousness.
"I just feel that their cultivation seems to have encountered some bottlenecks. As the Divine Son of the Spirit Hall, it is my duty to guide them and help them break through as soon as possible."
These words sound grand and dignified, but what he really thought was:
Hurry up and call someone over, I can't wait to self-destruct!
"In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness!"
Bibi Dong was overjoyed.
What an honor it is to receive personal guidance from the "true god"!
She immediately issued an order for Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan to come to the Divine Child Palace for an audience.
Soon, three young people, two men and one woman, entered Ouyang's palace.
The woman at the head of the group was tall with short, neat hair and a charming and alluring appearance. She was none other than Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.
Following behind her were the tall and cold-faced Xie Yue, and Yan, with his fiery red short hair and explosive aura.
They are the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation of the Spirit Hall, and are known as the "Golden Generation".
The three entered the palace and were immediately stunned by its extremely luxurious decor.
A cup made of millennia-old warm chalcedony, a bed made from the core of an ancient tree of life...
Any one of these items would be enough to make Title Douluos fight tooth and nail for it.
The owner of this palace was actually a little kid who looked only six or seven years old.
They had long heard that His Holiness the Pope had bestowed the title of a mysterious "Son of God," whose status was even above that of the Pope.
They were extremely dissatisfied with this.
The three of them have made countless contributions and sacrifices for the Spirit Hall to achieve their current status.
Why should some kid who just appeared out of nowhere be able to rise to the top and ride on their heads?
Therefore, on their way here, they had already discussed that they would give this so-called "Prince Divine Child" a hard time today, and let him know that the Spirit Hall is not a place where just anyone can run wild.
"Hu Liena (Xie Yue, Yan) greets His Highness the Divine Child."
Although the three were unconvinced, they still had to put on a good show and bowed slightly to Ouyang, who was sitting in the main seat.
But his tone sounded dismissive and arrogant.
Ouyang took in the expressions of the three people and was secretly delighted.
You disagree?
arrogant?
Great! This is exactly the effect I wanted!
The more you disagree, the bigger your reaction will be when I self-destruct later!
"Yes, no need for formalities."
Ouyang waved his little hand, mimicking the way adults do.
"I heard you're the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall?"
"I don't deserve such praise; it's just that the teacher is too kind."
Hu Liena answered with neither humility nor arrogance, her foxy eyes subtly observing Ouyang.
She wanted to see just how amazing this child, whom the teacher had praised to the skies, really was.
"Hehe, we'll find out what it's like once we take it out for a spin."
Ouyang jumped off the bed, put his hands behind his back, and walked up to the three of them.
"Judging from your arrogant and haughty demeanor, you must be quite resentful of this divine being, right?"
He made his point clear from the start.
Xie Yue and Yan's expressions changed slightly; they hadn't expected the child to speak so directly.
Hu Liena narrowed her eyes, becoming wary.
This child is extraordinary.
He may seem outspoken, but in reality, he takes the initiative in every step he takes.
"How about this?"
Ouyang continued.
"I'll give you a chance. All three of you, come at me together. If you can even touch a corner of my clothes, you win."
"If you win, you can have my position as the God's Son. If you lose, you'll have to obey me from now on."
Upon hearing this, anger instantly ignited in Xie Yue and Yan's eyes.
"What did you say?!"
Yan, who has the worst temper, couldn't hold back on the spot.
"You brat! You're too arrogant!"
Who are they?
The Golden Generation! The pinnacle of the younger generation in the world of Soul Masters!
With the three of them working together, even veteran Soul Emperors would dare to challenge them!
This brat dares to spout such nonsense, telling the three of them to attack him together and that they couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes?
What a humiliation!
"What? You're afraid?"
Ouyang curled his lip and used reverse psychology.
"What is there to be afraid of!"
Yan roared, his third soul ring lit up, and he threw a punch at Ouyang.
Although he was furious, he still retained a sliver of reason, using only thirty percent of his strength, his only aim being to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.
However, just as his fist was about to touch Ouyang, Ouyang's figure suddenly became illusory, like a wisp of green smoke, passing directly through his fist.
First Soul Skill: Divine Journey Through the Void!
"What?!"
Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena's expressions also changed drastically.
Afterimage? No! The speed couldn't be that fast!
Is it some kind of special evasion soul skill?
"Too slow."
Ouyang's voice rang out behind Yan.
Yan suddenly turned around and threw another punch.
As a result, just like before, the fist passed through Ouyang Xuhuan's body once again.
"How could this happen?!"
Yan was completely dumbfounded.
"Attack together!"
Hu Liena shouted, realizing that this child's soul skill was extremely strange and that he would definitely not gain an advantage in a one-on-one fight.
In an instant, the three surrounded Ouyang in a triangular formation.
Xie Yue's moon blade, Yan's flames, and Hu Liena's alluring light attacked Ouyang from three directions, leaving no blind spots.
However, all the attacks were like mud oxen entering the sea, passing directly through Ouyang's body without causing any damage.
Ouyang deliberately manipulated his ten-second invincibility period, making it incredibly fun.
He was like a ghost walking in another dimension, strolling leisurely amidst the three men's barrage of questions, even having time to yawn.
"That's it? The golden generation? I think it's more like a scrap metal generation."
Ouyang curled his lip, his tone full of disdain.
The three attacked for a long time, but they couldn't even touch a hair on Ouyang's head. Instead, they were exhausted and panting.
Their faces were filled with shock and frustration.
Yan, in particular, felt his self-esteem being repeatedly crushed and rubbed against the ground by this brat.
"Alright, I'm not playing with you guys anymore."
Ouyang stretched, knowing his invincibility time was almost up.
He felt that the groundwork had been laid enough.
It's time to unleash the real "ultimate move"!
He looked at the three people who were starting to question their existence, cleared his throat, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Now, aren't you curious about why I'm so amazing?"
The three nodded subconsciously.
They were absolutely insanely curious.
What kind of monster is this child?
"Actually, the answer is very simple."
Ouyang shrugged and, in a matter-of-fact tone, uttered the line he had rehearsed countless times.
"Because, I'm not even human."
"I'm coming clean. I'm actually a soul beast, the kind that's 100,000 years old."
"You know the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape from the Star Dou Great Forest, right? Those two are my underlings."
"I called you all here today to tell you this secret. You should hurry up and complain to the Pope, and have her send people to arrest me. Killing me will get you a soul bone—a 100,000-year-old one! First come, first served!"
Ouyang revealed all his secrets in one go.
After saying that, he looked at the three of them expectantly, waiting for them to show expressions of shock, anger, and disdain.
However, he was disappointed.
The three members of the golden generation, upon hearing his "confession," did not react as he had imagined; instead, they all froze in place.
Xie Yue and Yan's faces showed bewilderment and confusion.
Soul Beast?
Are you kidding me?
Is this kid playing tricks on them?
After her initial surprise, a glint of light flashed in Hu Liena's alluring fox-like eyes!
Her brain was racing at that moment.
Soul Beast?
Could a "divine child" with such bizarre and powerful soul skills, who is treated as an honored guest by his teacher and whose status is even above that of the Pope, be a soul beast?
This is absolutely the most absurd lie in the world!
Why would he tell such an obviously false lie?
Why would he deliberately provoke us, demonstrate his invincible strength, and then say such things?
There must be a deeper meaning behind this!
This is... a test!
Hu Liena's heart skipped a beat!
She understood instantly!
This was a test from beginning to end!
The first step, provoking us with arrogant words, is to test our "character".
If we can't even keep our composure, then we don't deserve his guidance.
The second step, showcasing his unhittable "divine skill," is a test of our "perspective."
Let us understand that there are always people more capable than us, and there is always something beyond our understanding; we should not be narrow-minded and limited.
And this third step, telling the absurd lie that he is a "soul beast," is the most crucial step!
This is a test of our "comprehension" and "loyalty"!
If we believe this nonsense, then we are complete fools and have no right to follow him.
If we get angry because we've been tricked, or even complain to the teacher, then we are disloyal and unjust people, and we don't deserve his approval!
The only correct answer is to see through the deeper meaning behind this "lie," understand his good intentions, and then... offer him your loyalty!
Having figured all this out, Hu Liena felt a chill run down her spine.
This divine prince may be young, but his cunning and methods are simply unfathomable!
How can his actions today be considered instructing them?
It's clearly a selection process!
Select the core team members who are truly qualified to follow him!
I almost missed this incredible opportunity because of a moment of arrogance!
With this in mind, Hu Liena dared not be negligent in the slightest.
She winked at Xie Yue and Yan, who were still in a daze, and then, under Ouyang's "expectant" gaze, she took a step forward and solemnly knelt on one knee.
"Your Highness, we...understand!"
Her voice was filled with unprecedented awe and reverence.
"Thank you for today's test and guidance, Your Highness! Hu Liena is completely convinced!"
