Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 The Pope's Attention

There weren't many subsequent awakenings, but of course, quite a few promising talents emerged, including one with innate level 9.5 soul power.

Hu Liena's brother, Xie Yue.

However, because Hu Liena had set a high bar before them, and Su Chen had dominated the entire scene, everyone had become somewhat desensitized. A genius with a level 9.5 innate talent, which was a once-in-a-century talent, did not stir up any great waves in their hearts.

The situation was even worse for those at levels seven and eight; they were basically ignored.

This made the red-haired boy even more resentful, especially after seeing that the girl's eyes never left Su Chen, he clenched his fists even tighter.

When Su Chen came out, the crowd outside was still talking excitedly, mainly about him, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and their speculations about his martial soul.

He ignored the burning gazes and searched for something, but the next moment, the boy's brows furrowed.

"Achen is my son, Su Xiao's son. How could I not know him?"

The middle-aged man with graying temples looked at the group of people in front of him with some anger.

"You're just bragging. How old are you to be a Soul King? How could you possibly have a son like that?"

The group gave him a disdainful look. "Stop dreaming. He must be the son of some elder in the Elder Hall. If he were your son, I'd call you 'Dad' too."

"father."

The white-haired youth pushed through the crowd and glanced indifferently at the man, ignoring the latter's liver-colored face. Then, he bowed slightly, and his gaze softened as he looked at the middle-aged man.

At first, Su Chen was somewhat resistant to this adoptive father. After all, as an orphan in two lifetimes, no one had ever cared for him so meticulously.

The middle-aged man in front of him went through great lengths to awaken his spirit at the Spirit Hall, taking advantage of his father's promise and promotion opportunities, simply because he believed his son could make a name for himself, gain the appreciation of the higher-ups, and receive a better education.

The ridicule and insults they endured were countless, but when it came to the boy, they all wore smiles.

In Su Chen's view, who was used to maximizing his own interests, this was a very foolish thing to do.

But the person who did this was doing it entirely for his own good.

How could such a situation not move one to tears?

The middle-aged man nodded excitedly.

They had traveled all the way from the outskirts of the city. Su Xiao hadn't slept well for the past few days. Now that his martial soul had awakened, a huge weight had been lifted from his heart. If he weren't a Soul King, he would have been lying on the ground long ago.

My son is indeed a genius!

The first person in the Su family's history to possess innate full soul power!

Really, really.

As he thought about it, Su Xiao felt a lump in his throat and his eyes sting.

I can't cry, I can't embarrass my son. My son is destined to become a Title Douluo.

Seeing that Su Xiao had basically reached his physical limit and desperately needed rest and food, Su Chen didn't bother to argue with that person.

The man realized he had made a fool of himself and slunk away with his companion.

Just as the two were about to leave the place under the watchful eyes of everyone, a slightly childish angry shout suddenly rang out.

"Su Chen, wait a minute!!"

The red-haired boy stood menacingly in Su Chen's path, raising his fist and staring intently at him. "Hey, do you dare to fight me?"

The sudden commotion attracted the attention of the girls and boys who were coming out one after another, and they all looked over with curiosity.

The blonde girl rushed out, her beautiful eyes lighting up when she saw Su Chen. Just as she was about to say something to him, she saw the red-haired boy blocking Su Chen's path. A thought struck her, and she understood immediately. Her brows furrowed, and she said angrily, "Yan!!"

Then, with a headache, he turned around and said apologetically, "Su Su Chen, I'm sorry, he might not be thinking clearly today."

The white-haired boy nodded, continuing on his way.

He already knew about the entanglement between Yan and Hu Liena in the original work, and he could understand why Yan stopped him.

But Su Chen had no interest in getting involved in the entanglements of these teenagers.

"You coward, don't you dare?"

However, Yan, consumed by anger, did not want Su Chen to leave so easily, especially since Hu Liena's completely different attitude fueled his jealousy.

He gritted his teeth and blocked Su Chen's path, "If you don't dare, then..."

The red-haired boy's words came to an abrupt end.

Because, without his noticing, a strange-looking "dagger" was already pressed against his neck.

"you"

Yan swallowed hard; the cold metal and sharp pain sent shivers down his spine.

His calves trembled slightly as he looked at the indifference in the white-haired boy's dark pupils.

This guy has killed people, killed a lot of people!!!

Yan had seen such a look before; the Soul Masters who had returned from the battlefield in the Spirit Hall had also seen such a look.

However, compared to Su Chen, they still possess the emotional fluctuations that can be called "human".

But the white-haired boy in front of me didn't.

"Get out of the way."

Subconsciously following Su Chen's words, Yan stepped aside, and the "dagger" on his neck disappeared instantly. He gasped for breath, looking at the two people's backs in fear.

That guy.

Things happened so fast that before anyone could react, Su Chen had already walked away.

No one expected Su Chen to use his weapon without hesitation, nor did they understand when he took it out.

The boys and girls swallowed hard and looked at each other in bewilderment.

They all secretly resolved not to provoke Su Chen.

Hu Liena stared blankly at Su Chen's retreating figure, took a slow breath, and glared angrily at Yan, "If you ever let this kind of thing affect others again, we're no longer friends!!"

"No, it's me."

Yan wanted to say something, feeling wronged, but Hu Liena didn't give him a chance and turned to leave.

Only a dejected figure remained.

All of this was witnessed by several pairs of eyes and reported to someone.

"One with innate full soul power, two at level 9.5, and several at level 7 or above—truly remarkable!"

A languid and aloof voice echoed in the spacious hall. The Awakening Elder and several others stood respectfully below, not daring to look at the stunningly beautiful figure on the stage.

"Congratulations, Your Holiness. These children will undoubtedly be the backbone of the Spirit Hall in the next ten years. Whether it is Su Chen, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, or Yan, they are all exceptionally talented young talents."

"Especially Su Chen, who not only possesses innate full soul power, but also a peculiar martial soul that can exert a slight abnormal suppression on our soul power. If he is properly nurtured, his future achievements may be extraordinary."

After thinking for a moment, the Awakening Elder affirmed, "At the very least, my achievements will not be lower than those of the enshrined elders in the Hall of Worship!"

"Hmph, not bad talent, but too ruthless. Threatening with one's life over a mere verbal dispute, so eager to fight, one's future achievements are probably not very high."

One person voiced their opposition, and since he had a very good impression of Yan, his impression of Su Chen naturally became somewhat negative.

"That's not right. The world of Soul Masters is a dog-eat-dog world, not some child's play. Those who are indecisive would have died long ago. I actually quite like this child's personality."

"No, no, that's not right. I think that girl is quite nice, and so is Xie Yue."

Several people in the main hall began to argue.

"alright."

But the next second, a cool and languid voice rang out, and those two words instantly drowned out all other sounds.

The overwhelming aura suppressed the crowd, silencing them and leaving them speechless with shock and disbelief.

Who would have thought that His Holiness the Pope's strength had increased again?

How old is she?

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, you two, take a few young geniuses to the Star Dou Great Forest in a week. You may also go down now."

"I will obey the Pope's command."

A soft and ethereal response rang out.

After everyone left, only that stunningly beautiful figure remained in the empty hall.

"Su Chen?"

Her slender, jade-like fingers touched a portrait, gently tracing an arc, her beautiful eyes meeting the dark eyes beneath the white hair.

"That's really interesting."
