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

Chapter 16: The Grand Investiture Ceremony

Su Chen took the first step.

The black and gold wedding gowns of the Holy Child shone brightly in the sunlight.

The white jade steps have a total of ninety-nine steps.

He walked at a leisurely pace.

There was no stage fright whatsoever.

Even though the area below was filled with representatives from all the top forces in the Douluo Continent.

The gazes of hundreds of thousands of elite Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall created a tangible sense of oppression.

Ordinary children would feel their legs go weak just standing up under such gazes.

But Su Chen's expression remained calm.

The million-year-old head bone spun slightly.

The materialized spiritual power forms an invisible barrier on the body's surface.

It completely blocks all external probing and pressure.

Right side of the viewing area.

The representative region of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

The leader of the delegation was Prince Xue Xing of the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family.

Two Soul Masters of level 80 or above were sitting next to him.

Prince Xuexing squinted his eyes slightly.

He watched the six-year-old child walking down the steps.

A hint of doubt and disdain flashed in his eyes.

The Spirit Hall is making such a grand show of establishing a mere child as their Holy Son.

In his view, it was all a political bluff and show.

"Go and test him."

Prince Xuexing transmitted his voice to an old man beside him.

"Give him a taste of his own medicine. Make the Spirit Hall look bad in public."

The old man nodded slightly.

He is a high-ranking Soul Douluo worshipped by the Heaven Dou Empire.

The old man's right hand, hidden beneath his robe, curled slightly.

A subtle fluctuation of soul power quietly spread along the ground.

It turned into an invisible tripwire.

It directly wrapped around Su Chen's right leg, which was about to fall.

The method was very subtle.

At this distance.

Even the titled Douluo on the high platform would find it difficult to detect and stop it in an instant.

Su Chen's right foot was suspended in mid-air.

His mental perception had long since locked onto the soul force that was attacking from the shadows.

He neither dodged nor avoided it.

His right foot continued to stomp down heavily along the original trajectory.

The moment the sole of the foot touches the stone step.

The terrifying physical strength of the two thousand jin body, reshaped by the Marrow Cleansing Pill, erupted instantly.

boom.

A dull thud exploded on the steps.

The sturdy white jade steps were worn smooth by countless footsteps, leaving large, cracked spiderweb-like patterns.

The invisible soul force tripping rope was directly crushed by this brute physical force.

It transformed into a violent shockwave that dissipated in all directions.

at the same time.

A storm suddenly erupted in Su Chen's spiritual sea.

A sharp spiritual blade followed the path of that soul force.

It pierced the mind of the old man from the Heavenly Dou Empire with a sharp, stabbing motion.

The old man let out an extremely suppressed scream.

His face turned deathly pale instantly.

A trickle of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

My body shook violently in the chair.

He almost fell off the viewing platform.

This sudden change attracted the attention of surrounding forces.

"What happened?"

Prince Xuexing was greatly alarmed.

"He's strange."

The old man lowered his voice.

Staring in horror at the figure on the steps.

"His mental strength is terrifying. He can even injure me. This is definitely not the kind of power a six-year-old child should have."

Bibi Dong, standing on the high platform, took in everything.

A cold smile curved her lips.

The people of the Heaven Dou Empire wanted to see the Spirit Hall make a fool of itself.

But they kicked a hornet's nest.

Su Chen's response satisfied her.

There was no weakness whatsoever.

We retaliated directly with the most ruthless methods.

Su Chen took the last step down the stone steps.

He walked onto the red carpet in the very center of the square.

He was directly facing Pope Bibidon, who sat regally on the high platform.

Hundreds of thousands of Spirit Hall Soul Masters straightened their chests at the same time.

The clanging of armor resounded through the sky.

Bibi Dong slowly stood up.

The scepter in her hand slammed heavily on the ground.

The purple soul power spread outwards like a tsunami.

The immense pressure caused all the factions in the audience to hold their breath.

"today."

Bibi Dong's voice, enveloped in soul power, resounded throughout the entire arena.

"The Spirit Hall has ushered in new hope."

"Su Chen. Awakened twin supreme god-level martial souls. Innate full soul power level 20. He subdued his peers with absolute strength."

"In the name of the Pope, I hereby declare that Su Chen is hereby appointed as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."

Innate level 20, full soul power.

Twin God-level Martial Souls.

These two phrases were thrown out.

The envoys from the two great empires and the representatives from various sects in the audience could no longer remain seated.

Many people stood up from their chairs.

His eyes were filled with horror.

They originally thought that the Spirit Hall had only produced a talented genius.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a prodigy capable of breaking the historical records of Douluo Continent.

Twin martial souls are already rare.

In addition, there is the innate full soul power of level 20.

This kind of foundation will survive as long as it doesn't crumble along the way.

In the future, they will surely be a terrifying existence that surpasses even the Peerless Douluo.

The envoy from the Star Luo Empire had a somber expression.

Prince Xuexing of the Heavenly Dou Empire felt a chill run through his body.

The Spirit Hall is already powerful enough.

If this monster is allowed to grow even stronger.

The two empires will have no room for resistance in the future.

Bibi Dong ignored those hostile and fearful gazes.

She stepped down from the platform.

He came to Su Chen.

A cardinal stepped forward carrying a purple-gold tray.

On the tray lay a dark gold crown, symbolizing the identity of the Holy Son.

Bibi Dong picked up the crown.

She personally placed it on Su Chen's head.

"From this day forward, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall shall hold a position equivalent to that of the Pope."

Bibi Dong turned to face the hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Anyone who sees the Son will see me."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were the first to kneel on one knee.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

The beginning of the two titled Douluo.

It instantly ignited the emotions of the entire audience.

The elders in the Elders' Hall and the Offering Hall all bowed in respect.

Hundreds of thousands of cardinals, Templars, and ordinary Soul Masters in the square knelt down one after another like waves.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

The earth-shattering shouts made the entire Spirit City tremble.

The sound surged straight into the sky.

It completely tore apart the clouds in the sky.

Su Chen stood in the center of the red carpet.

He wore a dark gold crown.

The black brocade robe fluttered in the wind.

He received this incredible gift from hundreds of thousands of people.

He turned around.

Their attention turned to the various factions in the audience.

The representatives of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire were extremely uneasy.

They didn't want to bow down to a six-year-old child.

But it's on the Spirit Hall's home turf.

Under the terrifying pressure of hundreds of thousands of Soul Masters.

They had no choice at all.

Prince Xuexing gritted his teeth.

He stood up with the delegation from the Heavenly Dou Empire.

He reluctantly bowed slightly to Su Chen.

The leaders of the four lower sects even left their seats.

He bowed deeply to Su Chen.

Su Chen looked at these powerful and wealthy people with their heads bowed.

He didn't speak.

He knew these people were not convinced.

They only feared the power of the Spirit Hall.

Not Su Chen himself.

In order to completely shatter their wishful thinking.

Su Chen raised his hands.

He decided to give these external forces a real warning.

hum.

It was accompanied by a strong energy vibration.

Su Chen's dormant level 20 innate full soul power erupted in full force.

There is great golden light in the right hand.

The Holy Sword of Judgment took shape instantly.

The blazing golden sacred flame shot into the sky.

It turned half the sky into a blindingly bright daylight.

Black mist churned in his left hand.

The God-Slaying Demon Spear coalesced with an aura of endless destruction.

Dark red dragon scale patterns shimmered on the gun.

Even the surrounding light was forcibly swallowed up.

The ultimate light and the ultimate darkness.

Two completely opposite supreme attributes are perfectly integrated in the same person.

The terrifying pressure of the martial spirit was like a tangible giant wave.

The camera was shot directly at the viewing area.

The younger generation of disciples brought by various sects collapsed to the ground under this oppressive force.

Even those Soul Saint level experts felt a tightness in their chests.

The martial spirit within his body trembled uncontrollably.

Prince Xuexing's eyes widened.

Only then did he finally understand.

The Contra who was backfired by his mental energy lost without any reason.

This is not a power that humans should possess.

"This quality of martial soul completely surpasses the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Clear Sky Hammer."

The sect leader of the White Armor Earth Dragon Sect, one of the four lower sects, swallowed hard.

The awe in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Su Chen displayed his twin martial souls for a full ten seconds.

He observed the fascinating expressions on the faces of the representatives from all sides.

The objective has been achieved.

He clasped his hands together.

The holy sword and the demonic spear simultaneously vanished as specks of light.

The suffocating pressure then disappeared.

Everyone was panting heavily.

Their backs were soaked with cold sweat.

The core part of the investiture ceremony has now concluded.

The Spirit Hall has successfully revealed their most terrifying trump card to the entire continent.

Bibi Dong returned to the papal chair.

She was at a loss for words to praise Su Chen's performance today.

Simply perfect.

Bibi Dong issued the order.

The army began an orderly retreat.

The various factions in the audience also hurriedly took their leave.

They had to immediately relay this terrifying news back to their respective empires and sects.

The landscape of Douluo Continent will be completely rewritten because of the appearance of this young man.

After the ceremony ended.

Su Chen followed Bibi Dong back to the main hall of the Papal Palace.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo followed closely behind.

The main hall doors were closed.

Bibi Dong sat down and looked at Su Chen.

"Your demonstration of authority today has been very effective. The two great empires will absolutely not dare to make any moves in the short term."

Bibi Dong picked up the teacup on the table.

"What are your plans next? Will you continue to consolidate your soul power at Ningyun Pavilion, or will you go to the Martial Soul Academy to learn the theoretical knowledge of the system?"

Su Chen did not hesitate at all.

He gave the answer directly.

"Teacher, theoretical knowledge is meaningless to me. My current bottleneck is only the spirit rings."

Su Chen looked at the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo standing to the side.

"I want to set off immediately for the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my first spirit ring."

Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

"The ceremony just ended today. You've been working very hard these past few days. Don't you need to rest for a few days?"

"No need. I'm in peak condition right now."

Su Chen's tone was firm.

"As I said before, I'm going to break the age limit for the first spirit ring."

Upon hearing this...

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan couldn't help but speak up.

"Your Highness, although your talent is unparalleled throughout history, absorbing your first spirit ring across levels carries extremely high risks. While Yu Xiaogang's theory may be rigid, there are indeed numerous bloody lessons to be learned regarding the limits of time."

"Four hundred years. That's already the limit of an ordinary human body. Even if your physical body far surpasses that of an ordinary person, the energy of a thousand-year-old soul beast is enough to burst the meridians of an ordinary Soul Venerable."

Su Chen turned to look at Yue Guan.

His eyes radiated absolute confidence.

"Elder Ju, judging me by the standards of a mediocre person is a waste of my talent."

"Yu Xiaogang is a useless person who can't even break through level 30. His theories are just a piece of waste paper."

Su Chen's voice was resolute.

"My first spirit ring. It must be at least 1,500 years old."

As soon as those words were spoken...

A long silence fell over the main hall.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei gasped.

Fifteen hundred years.

This is already the standard configuration for a normal Soul Master's third Soul Ring.

To absorb knowledge across two major social strata.
