I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos - Chapter 197: Challenge

“It really is such a Divine Body!”

“Why do I feel that even if those three celestial phenomena were separated, each of them could be an immensely powerful Divine Body?”

“A Divine Body combining the powers of the sun, moon, and stars! Throughout history, this is undoubtedly the only one!”

“The divine might emanating from this is probably ten times stronger than an ordinary Divine Body!”

“Tang Senior Brother’s words turned out to be true! There really is such a Divine Body in this world!”

Several Saint Kings exclaimed, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Even though they had seen and experienced a lot, Su Zhan’s Divine Body of the sun, moon, and stars still managed to deeply shake them.

The Holy Master Mo Wentian widened his eyes!

A deep blue light radiated from his eyes as he stared at Su Zhan.

Three seconds later, he said incredulously, “This kid’s bone age is only sixteen!”

Bone age sixteen?

The Elders were surprised to hear this.

Bone age represents the age of bone growth from birth until now, and it’s extremely accurate. Unless someone had undergone extremely special bone replacement procedures, it essentially corresponds to their actual age.

Just a moment ago, they felt that Su Zhan’s Fish-Dragon Fourth Transformation cultivation was too low.

But now…

They all had an impulse to curse out loud.

Damn it! Sixteen years old, at the Fish-Dragon Fourth Transformation level!

How do you expect those of us who hadn’t even touched the threshold of the Fish-Dragon Realm at sixteen to feel? Aren’t we Saint Kings losing face???

Each of those Saint Kings felt frustrated in their hearts, looking at Su Zhan with disbelief.

“It’s not just about being sixteen in bone age! This kid’s physical body is so strong that he can probably resist against a Saint Realm expert head-on!”

“Moreover, the power contained in his saint qi and true qi far surpasses that of ordinary warriors of the same realm! This is far beyond being just a once-in-a-millennium genius!”

“Clearly, he’s a once-in-a-hundred-thousand-year genius! No, even a hundred thousand years might not produce another one!”

The Holy Master Mo Wentian exclaimed in amazement. Then, he expressed a bit of regret and envy, saying, “Tang Senior Brother, you’ve really hit the jackpot. You managed to take in such a heaven-defying genius as your disciple!”

Tang Wujian looked smug, “Hehe! That’s right, Holy Master. My disciple is even more outstanding than your two Holy Son disciples!”

“By the way, now that Su Zhan’s talent has been confirmed, you can soon verify the results of the second round of assessments. Also, I wouldn’t deceive you all with these matters. Now, should we decide to appoint Su Zhan as the Third Holy Son of our Heavenly Profound Holy Land?”

“Well, about this…”

Mo Wentian’s gaze fell on Su Zhan. He truly believed that Su Zhan was the best candidate.

However, before he could speak, an Elder preemptively interjected, “Holy Master, appointing a Holy Son is a significant matter! We must consider not only talent but also willpower, combat strength, comprehension ability, and more! If Su Zhan has astonishing talent but lacks actual combat ability and steadfast willpower, he might not necessarily surpass my disciple Luo Bei!”

“Exactly! My disciple Liu Canglang is…”

“That’s enough! Quit boasting about your useless disciples. My disciple Chen Luo is even more formidable!”

“You… Do you all not know about my disciple—”

“Enough!”

The Holy Master scolded, feeling a bit of a headache.

While he did believe that Su Zhan had the best talent and was the most suitable choice, these old fellows, the Saint Kings, were stubbornly refusing to concede. They all had been friends for hundreds of years, and he couldn’t simply ignore the opinions of those Saint King Elders and act unilaterally.

“Holy Master, I have a solution! One that can guarantee absolute fairness and impartiality in selecting the Holy Son!”

At that moment, a Saint King Elder spoke up.

“What method?” asked the Holy Master.

“It’s quite simple! Just let those who are dissatisfied with Su Zhan becoming the Holy Son, along with those talented individuals who have the potential to become Holy Sons, challenge Su Zhan. If Su Zhan wins, then naturally they will have no grounds for objection!”

The elder chuckled, “Besides, if my disciple loses, I’ll never bring up the matter of him contending for the position of Holy Son again. What do you all think?”

The other Saint King Elders exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

“Right! Elder Zhao’s suggestion is good!”

“This is a good idea!”

“It’s very fair!”

…

Hearing these words, Tang Wujian couldn’t hold back and burst out, “You bunch of old bastards, teaming up to bully my disciple? Those disciples of yours have already reached the peak of the sixth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm! And you want them to fight against my disciple who’s only at the fourth transformation? And you call this fair? Screw your fairness!”

After Tang Wujian’s outburst, the Elder Council was also angered. While they didn’t dare to curse back, they retorted one after another.

“Tang Senior Brother, we were just suggesting, not insisting on this approach.”

“Exactly, how can you resort to cursing?”

“Moreover, Su Zhan didn’t object. Why are you so worked up?”

Tang Wujian sneered, “Do you take my disciple for a fool? He wouldn’t fall for such an obviously unfair challenge—”

“I think it’s acceptable.” Su Zhan’s voice rang out.

Tang Wujian was instantly bewildered.

“Su Zhan, I know your strength, but those Fish-Dragon Realm peak experts are not ordinary ones; each of them possesses the ability to contend against Saints. If you were at the same realm, there’d be no need to worry, but you’re currently only at the fourth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm. It’s really putting you at a disadvantage!”

“No worries, if not this way, when will this argument end?” Su Zhan smiled faintly. “Let’s just follow the suggestion of the venerable elders. Let those who are qualified to compete for the position of Holy Son come and challenge me. This is the most direct and straightforward method!”

Upon hearing this, the Saint King Elders were momentarily stunned. Clearly, they hadn’t expected Su Zhan to actually agree.

Instantly, their expressions brightened.

“Young friend Su has great spirit!”

“I like your straightforwardness!”

“Tang Senior Brother, rest assured, my disciple Chen Luo won’t harm your disciple Su Zhan during the battle.”

“My disciple is in a crucial retreat period, he’ll need a few more days. How about setting the date five days from now?”

“Sounds good. Moreover, this battle can also be announced to the core disciples, let them come and witness the birth of the Holy Son themselves! This way, the new Holy Son will undoubtedly gain everyone’s respect, and there won’t be any objections!”

The five Saint King Elders were in high spirits, speaking with smiles.

The Holy Master, Mo Wentian, furrowed his brows slightly and addressed Su Zhan, “Su Zhan, among the core disciples eligible to compete for the position of Holy Son, none of them are ordinary martial artists. Chen Luo once killed a first order Saint-level evil cultivator. Luo Bei escaped unscathed from a second order Saint. Although Liu Canglang hasn’t made a move in a long time, when he was at the fifth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, he fought a draw against a first order Saint. And there are others, none of them are weaker. Also, there’s Lin Dao, who cultivated the third-stage Heavy Yuan Art, advancing his Fish-Dragon Realm cultivation by three transformations. He’s recognized as the number one beneath a Saint in the Tianxuan Empire! No one else comes close! Now that you know all this, do you still persist in your decision?”
