Douluo Continent: The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, who intercepted the immortal herb

Chapter 10: The Controversy at the Spirit Hall's High-Level Meeting

"Your Holiness, this is absolutely unacceptable."

The voice of Demon Bear Douluo echoed in the hall.

"The position of Holy Son is crucial to the future of the Spirit Hall. It's equivalent to the successor to the Pope. This kid is just an orphan who's only six years old. He hasn't accomplished anything yet. How can he directly assume such a high position?"

Bibidon leaned back in the papal chair.

She showed no anger.

"Elder Demon Bear objects to my decision."

"I wouldn't dare."

Demon Bear Douluo held his head high.

"But the Spirit Hall has its own rules. Every Holy Son and Holy Daughter throughout history has made outstanding contributions to the Spirit Hall. Just because he awakened twin spirits is not enough to convince the hundreds of thousands of spirit masters below him."

Serpent Spear Douluo sat opposite Demon Bear Douluo.

He echoed his sentiment.

"Elder Demon Bear is right. Talent is ultimately just talent. Countless geniuses have died young in the history of Douluo Continent. Especially those with twin martial souls, cultivating them is extremely risky, as they are prone to exploding and dying. Making him the Holy Son directly is too risky."

The Porcupine Douluo stroked his chin.

"I agree with the two elders' views. In my opinion, it would be better to give him an elite spot first and send him to the Martial Soul Academy for a few years of observation. If he can truly grow up safely, it won't be too late to propose a formal title."

Several core elders of the Elder Hall expressed their opinions.

Their opinions were highly unified.

That is, we must absolutely not allow the Papacy to so easily appoint a Holy Son.

This involves the distribution of power within the Spirit Hall.

Once Su Chen's status as the Holy Son is fully confirmed.

The prestige of the Papal Palace will surely rise significantly.

It might even overshadow the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan sneered.

"Elders, you have such terrible memories. Didn't you see the extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth three days ago? A level 20 innate genius with full soul power and a supreme divine-level martial soul. If such a peerless prodigy isn't even worthy of being a Holy Son, are you suggesting that those mediocre talents at the level 7 or 8 innate be chosen?"

Ghost Douluo Ghost also spoke.

"His Holiness the Pope's decisions are not for you to question at will."

The atmosphere at the round table instantly became tense.

The titled Douluo of the Papal Palace and the Elder Palace were locked in a fierce struggle.

Soul energy subtly collided in the air.

The halberd-wielding guards in the hall were forced to retreat repeatedly.

Su Chen sat quietly in the chair.

He watched the power struggle unfold before him.

These titled Douluo argued heatedly, their faces flushed.

Essentially, they are all acting in the interests of their respective factions.

He knew that relying solely on Bibi Dong's forceful pressure would not be enough to completely subdue these old guys.

Just then.

The Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

He raised his right hand and tapped it lightly twice on the round table.

The hall fell silent instantly.

The second most important person in the Hall of Offerings.

A level 98 peak Douluo.

His weight was much greater than that of the Demon Bear and the Serpent Spear combined.

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Bibi Dong.

"Your Holiness, the elders' words may be unpleasant to hear, but they are reasonable."

Bibi Dong's eyes turned cold.

"The two elders also want to stop me."

Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head.

"I'm not trying to stop him. The High Priest has already spoken. Since he's staying in the Papal Palace, the Hall of Elders will no longer interfere with the child's fate. But he wants to be the Holy Son. The High Priest's tacit approval alone isn't enough. We also have to follow the rules of the Spirit Hall."

"What rules?"

Bibi Dong asked.

"Suppressing one's own generation."

Golden Crocodile Douluo uttered four words.

He turned his gaze to Su Chen.

His eyes were sharp as knives.

"The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall must be absolutely invincible among his peers. Back when you, Bibi Dong, were established as the Holy Maiden, it was also on the martial arts arena that you single-handedly fought against thirty core elites of the Spirit Academy, earning your reputation through sheer force."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stood up.

He braced his hands on the table.

"This kid has innate level 20 soul power. Such foundation far surpasses that of ordinary people. There is currently a group of extremely outstanding talents in the Martial Soul Academy. If he can go to the training ground and accept the challenges of those elite students in front of everyone, the Elders' Hall will not say another word."

Demon Bear Douluo immediately responded.

"Second Elder is absolutely right. If he can win, I, Demon Bear, will be the first to kneel down and call him Holy Son. If he dares not, or is beaten down, then he should obediently go back to the orphanage."

Bibi Dong gripped the scepter tightly.

Purple soul power erupted from her body.

"Golden Crocodile, don't go too far. Su Chen only awakened his martial soul three days ago. He doesn't even have a single spirit ring yet. You're sending him to fight against those spirit masters from the Martial Soul Academy who have already obtained spirit rings? Is that what you call following the rules?"

The core elites of Wuhun Academy.

He must be at least a level 10 or higher Soul Master who has obtained his first Soul Ring.

There are even Grand Soul Masters who are about to break through to level 20.

Soul rings bring more than just skills.

It also provides a comprehensive improvement in physical fitness.

Soul Masters without Soul Rings and Soul Masters with Soul Rings.

It is completely two concepts.

Golden Crocodile Douluo refused to back down.

"He possesses a divine-level martial spirit. At the twentieth level of the innate realm. Such a person cannot be judged by ordinary standards. If he can't even challenge opponents of higher levels, what kind of peerless genius is he? The Spirit Hall doesn't need hothouse flowers."

Bibi Dong was about to lash out.

A fair hand suddenly pressed down on the back of her hand.

Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback.

She turned her head to look.

Su Chen had already stood up from his chair.

Su Chen's expression was very calm.

He was not afraid at all.

Instead, there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

He had just taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

My body underwent a complete transformation.

His physical strength surged to a terrifying level.

Level 20 full soul power surged within his body.

He was worried about not having a place to test his current combat effectiveness.

The elders then proactively delivered the sandbags to their door.

Su Chen walked around Bibi Dong's papal chair.

He walked to the round table.

Facing the oppressive aura of the Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"The Second Elder is right. Strength is everything."

Su Chen's voice was steady.

It could be clearly heard in the spacious hall.

"Since the elders feel that I am not worthy to be the Holy Son, then let's proceed according to the rules of the Spirit Hall."

A hint of surprise flashed in Demon Bear Douluo's eyes.

He didn't expect this six-year-old kid to dare to continue the conversation.

"Good lad. You've got guts. You actually dare to go to the martial arts arena."

Su Chen looked at Demon Bear Douluo.

"Why wouldn't I dare? However, since it's a contest, there has to be some kind of prize."

What prize do you want?

Golden Crocodile Douluo asked.

"If I lose, I will voluntarily hand over the Papal Decree, relinquish my position as Holy Son, and volunteer to work as a menial laborer in the lowest-level branch of the Spirit Hall."

Su Chen glanced around at the elders present.

His tone suddenly turned cold.

"But if I win, from this day forward, no one shall ever again use my status or seniority as an excuse. They shall treat me as if I were the Pope. Anyone who dares to disrespect me will be punished for treason against the Spirit Hall. Do you elders dare to agree?"

Su Chen's words were resounding.

The titled Douluos in the hall were all stunned.

They have held high positions for many years.

No six-year-old child has ever dared to negotiate with them in such a tone.

Bibi Dong watched Su Chen's retreating figure.

A bright light shone in his eyes.

This disciple is just what she wants.

That's pretty arrogant.

That's domineering enough.

Golden Crocodile Douluo burst into laughter.

"Alright. I promise you. As long as you can subdue those arrogant geniuses at the Spirit Academy, the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders will not only recognize your identity, but you will also be able to allocate all the cultivation resources of the Spirit Hall at will."

It's a deal.

Su Chen said.

Bibi Dong stood up.

She did not stop Su Chen any further.

She believed that the person she valued would never do something without certainty.

Even if Su Chen really encounters danger on the arena.

She was there.

No one could hurt a single hair on Su Chen's head.

"Pass on the order."

Bibi Dong looked at the cardinal outside the door.

"Open the central training ground. Summon all elite students from the beginner and intermediate classes of the Martial Soul Academy. I will personally oversee the battle."

"Yes, ma'am."

The cardinal immediately accepted the order and left.

The tense atmosphere in the conference hall finally eased somewhat.

But a new sense of anticipation began to spread in everyone's hearts.

The titled Douluo all stood up.

They'll see.

This is the six-year-old child whom Bibi Dong values so highly.

How much does it actually weigh?

The central training ground of Wuhun City is located in the area between the Papal Palace and the Elder Palace.

This is a place specifically used by the Spirit Hall to hold large-scale battles and selection competitions.

The training ground is spacious.

At the center is a huge circular arena with a diameter of over 100 meters.

The arena is made of hard diamond rock.

The surrounding area is engraved with array patterns to prevent the leakage of soul power.

at this time.

Thousands of people have gathered in the stands surrounding the training ground.

The instructors of the Martial Soul Academy received orders from the Cardinal.

They quickly arrived here with their respective class's elite students.

The students ranged in age from seven to twelve.

They were all geniuses selected from various branch temples.

Everyone exudes a strong sense of self-confidence and pride.

The trainees lined up below the stands.

They whispered to each other.

They were discussing this sudden summons.

"Have you heard? His Holiness the Pope has taken on a personal disciple and intends to directly canonize him as a Holy Son."

A tall boy said in a low voice.

He was a top student in the intermediate class.

Eleven years old.

Martial Soul: Fiery Bull.

It has already surpassed level 18.

"My mentor said that the kid just awakened his martial soul a few days ago. He's just a six-year-old kid. He doesn't even have a spirit ring yet."

Another tall, thin boy looked on with disdain.

"Why should he become a Holy Son the moment he awakens? What about all the years of hard cultivation we've endured? I refuse to accept this."

"The Elders' Hall is also dissatisfied. That's why we have this competition today. The higher-ups have spoken. Whoever can defeat that Su Chen on the arena will receive special training from the Elders' Hall."

As soon as those words were spoken...

All the trainees' eyes lit up.

The Elders' Hall will focus on cultivating them.

It signifies endless resources and a soaring future.

Their gazes toward the entrance to the training ground became extremely aggressive.

That's the look a hunter gives his prey.

With a series of synchronized footsteps.

Two rows of Templar Knights clad in heavy silver armor jogged into the training ground.

They quickly took control of all the key locations.

Followed by.

Bibi Dong and other high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall slowly entered the arena.

The mentors and students in the stands immediately knelt down on one knee.
