Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 116 The battle escalates, and the first encounter with the Golden Generation.

"Holy Son? Is this a big event?"

Han Li was somewhat surprised; the commotion was quite different from what he had expected.

"There's nothing we can do. That woman, Bibi Dong, crossed Big Brother's bottom line. She's really out of her mind trying to claim the position of Holy Maiden."

Han Li clearly saw a hint of coldness flash across Guang Ling's and Qing Luan's faces when they answered.

No one objected to Bibi Dong becoming a saint back then because of her exceptional talent, which was unmatched in her time, and the Pope was her teacher.

As for Hu Liena, not to mention that she is not yet born with full soul power, and her martial soul is not strong enough, the most important thing is that there is a direct descendant of the Qian family with a 20th-level innate soul power angel martial soul in front of her. She herself does not even have anything worth mentioning. With just a pope teacher, she is not qualified.

"Yes, I understand, Master and Senior Uncle. I will try my best to perform well while ensuring victory."

Han Li answered decisively.

His performance caught Qingluan's attention. Given this kid's personality, he might have kept his talents hidden in the past. She hadn't expected him to be so proactive this time.

Han Li noticed his senior uncle's gaze, smiled, and said nothing.

If it were before Guangling took him out this time, he might have done as Qingluan suggested, muddling through to avoid making things too ugly, so everyone could stay safe and he could continue to develop in seclusion.

But now, he feels it's better to step into the limelight and seize the maximum benefits so he can become stronger faster.

Putting aside other resources, just considering the soul bones alone, if he remembers correctly, as a Holy Son or Holy Daughter, he could demand that the entire Spirit Hall unconditionally collect five soul bones for him.

Of course, he also needs to demonstrate corresponding value so that the time required to acquire soul bones can be shortened as much as possible. Although he doesn't currently value those soul bones, it doesn't matter. He has many people around him, and there will always be suitable soul bones that are practically given away for free. It would be a disservice to himself not to take them.

"Very good, very energetic."

"Then get ready. In three days, at the training grounds of the Papal Palace, give them a good beating."

A blush crept across Guangling's face; it was time for his fledgling eagle to make its debut.

"Yes, Master," Han Li replied loudly.

Then, in the following time, two more Title Douluos appeared in their training ground, observing their situation and occasionally offering corrections, making it quite lively.

Among them, Shui Bing'er was the most pitiful. Admittedly, her first soul skill was very strong.

With its ability to instantly target and control groups, combined with powerful attacks, it can be described as a deadly weapon.

Unfortunately, her level is the lowest, and her attack capabilities are currently extremely limited. She can only rely on the chilling aura inherent in her martial soul to harm enemies. It can be said that she can only put up a fight against her sparring partner; against the other three, she has no ability to resist at all.

Not to mention Han Libing, his control over ice elements is far superior to hers; she simply cannot defeat him.

Dugu Yan was indeed under her control, but only for a moment. Blood flames surged up, and Shui Bing'er had no choice but to give up.

As for Xiuer, she is the one most susceptible to her control, but Xiuer doesn't care at all. Once she activates her two amplification skills, if you freeze her, she will break through with brute force. The mere coldness of her martial soul cannot harm her in the slightest. Once your soul power is almost depleted, she will chase after you and knock you out with a single claw.

"Let's wait until my master takes on a disciple. After her martial soul evolves, with the Ice Phoenix's abilities, she can still manipulate some ice elements. I can teach her some techniques then, so she won't be completely without any attack capabilities," Han Li thought to himself.

Three days passed quickly amidst the mundane daily training, and the day of the battle arrived in the blink of an eye.

It was only early morning, but Han Li's residence was unusually lively.

In the Hall of Offerings, apart from Qian Daoliu and Jin E who were still in seclusion, the other five offerings arrived at Han Li's place early.

In Guangling's words, this was called "setting the scene," exuding a strong sense of social presence that made Han Li want to cover his face and retreat.

Guangling surveyed their impressive entourage with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

And so, the group of nine, under the respectful gaze of the guards, headed in a grand procession toward the Papal Palace. To the uninitiated, they would have looked as if they were setting off to destroy the three upper sects.

Upon reaching the Papal Hill, along the way to the Papal Palace, people kept stopping to bow to them, slowing their progress.

Finally, they stepped onto the field.

Although there were many people sitting in the arena, it was unusually quiet. Those who came here were basically high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, and they were naturally well aware of the reason for today's battle.

Before a definitive result is available, no one dares to make any moves. Even those who had already taken sides are feeling uneasy, hoping not to be implicated.

The group of nine went directly to the center-left position, leaving the most central seats empty, and then sat down to wait for the time to arrive.

Han Li took this opportunity to sized up his opponent.

Hu Liena, with her black hair, wasn't particularly beautiful at first glance, but she had a captivating charm that grew on you. However, that charm was only somewhat appealing. The difference in their mental strength was too great, and Han Li was completely unaffected.

Xie Yue, with red eyes, short silver hair with a strand of hair fading to red at the ends, and red butterfly patterns at the corners of his eyes, is a handsome man who looks aloof.

Yan, a large, red-haired man who had overworked himself, had a fierce look between his brows, but his憨像 (simple-minded look) when he looked at Hu Liena was unsettling. In summary, he was behind Pai Feng Xiao Tian.

Not far away, the three men, who were not yet known as the "Golden Generation," were also sizing him up.

Looking at the three girls with different styles beside him, Hu Liena's eyes flashed with disdain. Such behavior at such a young age, they are not good for anything.

The contempt in her eyes was almost undisguised, and Han Li naturally noticed it as well. He nodded at her and smiled slightly, but this only provoked Yan's even stronger hostility.

Han Li shook his head. "Very well, you were the ones who showed hostility first, so you'll have even less of a burden when you make your move later."

Xie Yue didn't show any hostility; in fact, they even nodded to each other. But since you're the older brother, and your sister is hostile towards me, I can't help it. At most, I'll go easy on you.

Just as Han Li was mentally arranging his opponents one by one, two heavyweight figures finally entered the arena.

Whether it was pre-arranged or not, the two arrived from the sky from the east and west respectively. One exuded a sacred aura of platinum gold, while the other was radiant with purple energy, appearing elegant and noble.

Two figures landed on the platform in front of them under the watchful eyes of everyone, but neither of them glanced at the other.
