Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 318, Section 338: The Golden Generation Has Changed
The next day, the Spirit Hall team had a bye, while Shrek's match was earlier and their opponents were weaker. As a result, Shrek easily defeated their opponents and then went to the back to watch the subsequent matches.

Looking at the intense competition below the stage, Ma Hongjun said, "It's another day that the Spirit Hall team gets a bye."

Oscar said, "The spirit bones that the Spirit Hall brought out were all prepared for them. Now, things are uncertain!"

"Don't even mention our Shrek team, the Spark team, based on the past performance of the Golden Generation, might not even be a match for them," Dai Mubai said.

Ning Rongrong suddenly interjected: "Those in the Spirit Hall who can be called the Golden Generation are not simple. It is not advisable to underestimate our opponents like this."

Oscar said dismissively, "The Golden Generation has three Soul Kings: Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue. Among them, Hu Liena and her brother have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which is not something we haven't seen before. They treat it like a mysterious treasure."

Ning Rongrong frowned and said, "What are you talking about? The tradition of the Spirit Hall, the Golden Generation refers to the previous Spirit Master Competition. Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena are the three Golden Generation contestants. They were the champions of the previous Spirit Master Competition. You don't actually think that you will encounter them again in this competition, do you?"

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were all dumbfounded. Even Tang San, who had been standing to the side with a dark face and his head down, looked up at Ning Rongrong.

"Wait a minute, Ning Rongrong, you said Hu Liena and the other two were the champions of the last Soul Master Competition?" Dai Mubai asked in surprise.

"You guys are really ignorant. What's so strange about this?" Ning Rongrong said dismissively.

"So, how strong were they back then?" Ma Hongjun asked.

Ning Rongrong said, "Five years ago, their strength was at the Soul King level. Given their age, it was just right for them to participate in this year's Soul Master Competition. However, the Spirit Hall's traditional Golden Generation only participated in one competition. Fortunately, otherwise, with our current lineup, it would be very difficult to face them five years later."

The reborn quartet was no longer paying attention to what Ning Rongrong was saying next; only two things were on their minds:
The previous generation of Golden Generation had already participated in the competition, but they will not be participating this time. They will be facing a brand new generation of Golden Generation from the Spirit Hall.

The Golden Generation had already reached the Soul King realm by the age of fifteen.

This is yet another variable. Tang San thought to himself that he was now 14 years old, his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline had been taken away, and four of his Clear Sky Hammer spirit rings had been destroyed. Meanwhile, what about his opponents from his previous life, Hu Liena and the other two? Damn it, they had already reached the Soul King level five years ago.

Why? Why are they better than me, Tang San? Who the hell is the chosen one? Why?! Tang San's eyes turned red with jealousy.

"Ah San, what should we do?" Ma Hongjun asked.

Tang San snorted coldly, "Hmph, what's the use if those people from the Spirit Hall cultivate quickly? They won't become gods, and in a few hundred years they'll just turn into a pile of bones. Don't forget who I am." Tang San said this to comfort his companions, and also to soothe his jealous heart.

Although the three Shrek heroes had long been questioning Tang San's status as the chosen one, they nodded in agreement upon seeing Tang San's confidence.

"Our immediate priority is to learn about the Spirit Hall's new Golden Team." So, the reborn quartet began to dig into their past lives' memories, searching for replacements for the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. However, after thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of any Soul Masters who could replace the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

Excellent Soul Masters are rare even in the Spirit Hall, and those who can replace the Golden Generation are even rarer. In my memories from my previous life, the only one who fits the age requirement and whose talent can rival or even surpass the Golden Generation is Qian Renxue. But will Qian Renxue take the stage?
Tang San glanced at Xue Qinghe's location out of the corner of his eye, chuckled, and shook his head. How could that be? Right now, this inheritor of the Angel God is still busy with the Heavenly Battle and the Power Battle to prove herself to her mother. How could she possibly be on the field?

After thinking for a long time without coming up with a solution, Tang San said, "Forget it, let's just watch the match. The Spirit Hall can't possibly have a bye every day. As long as they take the field, we'll know their true colors."

Therefore, the Shrek team turned their attention to the following matches.

It's time for a really exciting match: Spark Team versus Rice Academy.

The Rice Academy team consists of 5 Soul Masters and 2 Soul Venerables, and belongs to the supporting academy team.

Therefore, the Spark team only fielded one Soul King, Lin Chen, along with several main and substitute players.

After entering the arena, Lin Chen activated his martial soul, the Golden Sacred Dragon. The domineering dragon roared as it appeared. Since all the martial souls of Rice Academy were beast martial souls, they were suppressed by the superior martial souls.

Lin Chen glanced at the short-haired guy in the Shrek Academy area who was looking at him, and then introduced himself in a serious manner: "My martial soul is the superior golden holy dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul. Can you feel the suppression of this ultimate dragon? Now, I'll give you two choices: one is to leave with dignity, and the other is for me to let my dragon help you leave with dignity."

"We surrender, we admit defeat." Knowing they couldn't win, the opposing captain readily conceded, making this match the fastest-paced one of the day.

In the audience, Yu Xiaogang stared at the golden holy dragon on the fighting stage, gripping the railing tightly with both hands, biting his sleeve hard, his upper teeth grinding against his lower teeth, his eyes filled with deep resentment: "The golden holy dragon, that's my golden holy dragon."

Yu Xiaogang was filled with hatred. The Golden Sacred Dragon was his lifelong pursuit. He had finally obtained it, but Lin Chen snatched it away in an instant and even used his Golden Sacred Dragon to shine in the world-renowned Soul Master Competition. How could Yu Xiaogang not hate him?

"No, that's my Golden Sacred Dragon! Give it back to me! Give it back to me!" Yu Xiaogang roared in grief and indignation.

Little did Gangzi know that his highly anticipated apprentice was watching him with mockery from behind.

"According to Gangzi, Lin Chen stole the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul from him. Now, seeing him perform a series of acts of art because his own Martial Soul shines so brightly on another person, I have to say, it's quite a sight to behold." Tang San's previous misfortunes were instantly healed upon seeing Yu Xiaogang's current predicament.

Oscar laughed and said, "It's not a bad deal. At least before it was taken away, Gangzi got to experience the Golden Holy Dragon, didn't he!"

"Gangzi, you'd better stay at level 29 for the rest of your life," Tang San said.

The Shrek Academy reborn quartet was immediately filled with joyful laughter due to Yu Xiaogang's unfortunate encounter.
