Chapter 328: True Geniuses, Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation
Chapter 328: True Geniuses, Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The Royal Fighting Team’s exclusive training ground.
Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Yu Feng stood in a row, their heads all lowered in unison.
Liu Erlong stood before them with her arms crossed, her brow furrowed into a deep frown.
The atmosphere in the entire training ground was so heavy it was suffocating.
All because they were late.
Training had already been underway for half an hour by the time the six of them finally trudged in.
The reason was simple enough.
They had just defeated the Blazing Fire Team the day before.
After some relaxation, they had all collectively overslept the next morning.
"Half an hour!"
Liu Erlong’s voice boomed through the empty training ground, making the girls’ shoulders flinch in unison.
"Quite the high Spirits, aren’t we? You win one Spirit Fight and you don’t even know your own names anymore?"
Ning Rongrong pouted and scuffed her toe against the ground, not showing the slightest hint of guilt on her face.
"We’re only a little bit late. We really did beat Blazing Fire yesterday, so what’s wrong with relaxing for a day?"
Dugu Yan nodded in agreement, twirling a lock of hair around her finger, equally indifferent.
"Exactly, Teacher Erlong. We even beat Blazing Fire; our strength is clear. There’s no need to fuss over a trivial matter like being late, right?"
In their eyes, toppling Blazing Fire was a massive achievement, so taking a day off from training shouldn’t be an issue.
Liu Erlong’s frown deepened, and her voice suddenly rose.
"You think winning against Blazing Fire makes you special?"
"Tell me then, how much effort did each of you actually contribute yesterday?"
"When Huo Wu finally triggered her spirit ring fusion and released Fire Dance Radiant Sun, who was it that blocked it?"
Xiao Wu buried her head even lower, her fingers twisting her long braid as she spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz: "It was A-Qing and Lingling’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill... and my Paragon Golden Body."
The final scene of that duel.
Huo Wu had risked everything to trigger her spirit ring fusion, melting all the power of her spirit rings into one to release the Fire Dance Radiant Sun.
The power of that strike was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Spirit Ancestor; even a Spirit King wouldn’t dare to face it head-on.
The ones who had truly blocked that strike were indeed only Xiao Wu, along with Lin Qingmo and Ye Lingling’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"Then let me ask you once more."
"Without Lin Qingmo and Lingling’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and without Xiao Wu’s Paragon Golden Body—which of you could have blocked the Fire Dance Radiant Sun?"
As her words fell.
A deathly silence filled the training ground.
One could have heard a pin drop.
Dugu Yan’s lips moved as if she wanted to say she could have endured it.
But the words reached the tip of her tongue only to be swallowed back down.
She knew better than anyone how terrifying the explosive power of the Fire Dance Radiant Sun was after the spirit ring fusion.
Her poison was certainly formidable, but against such extreme high-temperature impact, it couldn’t break through at all.
Ning Rongrong was also silenced, her previous look of nonchalance completely gone.
It was true that her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could stack defensive buffs on her teammates.
But against an attack of the Fire Dance Radiant Sun’s caliber, even if she pushed her buffs to the limit, her teammates’ defenses still wouldn’t have been enough.
Zhu Zhuqing stood there without saying a word.
Her Nether Cat Martial Soul had a speed advantage; she might have been able to dodge using her movement techniques.
But if she dodged, what about her teammates?
She couldn’t protect everyone present.
Yu Feng scratched the back of her head, her face full of embarrassment, unable to squeeze out a single word.
Her Needle Tailed SwiftSpirit was only proficient in Flying speed, and her defense was as thin as paper. Forget taking the Fire Dance Radiant Sun head-on—even being grazed by a stray shockwave would be enough to keep her bedridden for weeks.
Out of the six of them, not one could answer.
All fell into silence.
Liu Erlong looked at the row of bowed heads. Her tone softened slightly, yet it remained as sharp as a blade.
"I’m not scolding you to dampen your Spirits."
"Winning is a good thing, and you should be happy."
"But that doesn’t mean you can get cocky, slack off on training, or pin all your hopes on others."
"In the Continental Elite Spirit Master Competition, there are plenty of opponents stronger than Blazing Fire."
"The ones you should be most wary of have never been Blazing Fire, but the Spirit Hall team—the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall."
"With your current foundation, without A-Qing, you might not even be worth looking at in front of them."
The group remained silent, their heads hanging even lower.
The arrogance they had felt from winning against Blazing Fire was ground into dust by Liu Erlong’s words.
Just then, a clear voice came from the entrance of the training ground.
"Teacher Erlong is right."
They all turned their heads toward the source of the voice.
Lin Qingmo walked in slowly, his black-patterned snow-white robes fluttering slightly with every step.
He had been standing outside the training ground just now, and he hadn’t missed a single word of Liu Erlong’s.
Seeing it was him, Liu Erlong’s tense expression relaxed a bit.
Lin Qingmo turned his head and continued speaking to the six people before him.
"You’ve only seen Blazing Fire’s capabilities, but you haven’t seen the opponents who can truly dictate the course of the competition."
"The Golden Generation of Spirit Hall—Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena. The three of them are already Spirit Ancestors approaching the level of Spirit King."
"In the main competition a year from now, all three of them will be Spirit Kings."
"The remaining four members will also all be Spirit Ancestors of level forty-five or higher."
"In other words, a year from now, you will be facing a top-tier team of three Spirit Kings and four Spirit Ancestors."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Xiao Wu and the others erupted.
"What?! Three Spirit Kings?!"
Xiao Wu instinctively cried out in shock.
She was currently only a level forty-three Spirit Ancestor.
Even if she pushed herself to the limit for a year, she would at most reach just over level forty-five.
"Everyone at the Spirit Ancestor level or above? How old are they?!"
The color drained from Dugu Yan’s face instantly.
She was currently level forty-five, the highest spirit power in the team besides Lin Qingmo and Xiao Wu.
She knew all too well how difficult it was to climb each level of the Spirit Ancestor bottleneck between level forty and fifty.
Yet the three members of the Golden Generation could collectively break through the Spirit King threshold within a year.
Logically, they shouldn’t be much different in age; this talent was simply terrifying!
Yu Feng gasped, her lips trembling: "Three Spirit Kings... how do we fight that? Our team currently only has A-Qing as a Spirit King..."
Zhu Zhuqing’s breathing became erratic, and a chill ran down her spine.
She had always wanted to catch up to Dai Mubai’s footsteps and surpass him.
But now she realized that compared to true geniuses, her progress was pitifully slow.
Not just them, even Liu Erlong was full of surprise after hearing this information from Lin Qingmo.
She had heard much about the Golden Generation’s reputation.
Spirit Hall had been heavily promoting them, saying they were geniuses the likes of which Spirit Hall hadn’t seen in a century.
But not many people had truly witnessed their strength.
To be precise, Spirit Hall was intentionally hiding them.
But she hadn’t expected the talent of these three to be strong to such an extent.
How did Lin Qingmo know?
Seeing everyone’s shocked expressions, Lin Qingmo felt no ripples in his heart.
He was a Transmigrator, and he knew the plot of the original work of Douluo Continent better than anyone.
Spirit Hall’s Golden Generation were indeed the top geniuses of their generation in the original work.
With the resources of the entire Spirit Hall tilted toward them, it was not difficult at all for them to collectively break through to Spirit King in a year.
Furthermore, they weren’t just strong; they also possessed a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
The Spirit Hall team was considered the strongest opponent for Tang San and his group in the competition.
If he weren’t included, Xiao Wu and the others would have almost no chance of winning against the Spirit Hall team.
