Golden List Live: I Really Can't Hide Anymore!

Chapter 257: The Strange Child and Sun Wukong

In the video, the scene first reveals a mountain covered with tall trees and weeds, while both sides of a broad road are lined with thorny bushes.

At that moment, a figure flashes by. This person is dressed in a yellow monk's robe, wears a golden headband, and is covered in fur. The viewers quickly recognize that this is Sun Wukong, though they are puzzled as to why he appears in the video again.

However, their shock is yet to come. The scene continues, and as Sun Wukong stops in front of a cave, a child about three feet tall walks out from within.

The child wears a peace-lock necklace, a red bellyband, shorts, and is barefoot with a small braid tied on top of his head. Despite being in front of Sun Wukong, he displays a haughty demeanor, showing no fear. In fact, he looks rather arrogant, holding a spear in his hand, though it seems quite short for an adult.

Although those watching don't recognize the child, many feel he bears some resemblance to Nezha, Li Jing's son.

[Erlang Shen]: Could this be you, Nezha?

[Nezha]: Aren't you supposed to have three eyes? Which one of them made you think this child looks like me?

[Erlang Shen]: I noticed that the child is similar to you in stature and outfit, holding a spear as well. Given that this is a future event, maybe this is how you'll look in the future!

[Nezha]: That child is shorter than me! Also, his weapon can't compare to mine. And besides, I haven't worn a bellyband for a long time—I'm no longer a kid! You're just taking this chance to humiliate me!

[Erlang Shen]: I didn't mean that! Just curious, that's all. If it's not you, then it's not you. Don't be angry!

The viewers also recognize that while there are similarities, the child is clearly not Nezha, deepening their confusion. Who could this child be, and why does he dare act so arrogantly in front of Sun Wukong?

Even if Sun Wukong is not at his peak, he still should be as strong as a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal by now. The fact that the child faces Sun Wukong with such confidence suggests he's quite powerful, but no such figure is known in the mythos.

As soon as they meet, it's like fire and water clashing, and a fight immediately breaks out between them. The cause of their confrontation is unclear, but the child is unafraid, even taking the initiative to attack.

As they fight, mountains crumble, and trees topple. However, both show restraint, careful not to cause too much destruction.

At this point, the audience realizes why the child dared to act so boldly—he does indeed have strength. They fight fiercely, going back and forth for thirty rounds, with divine powers and weapons clashing, neither side gaining the upper hand.

But it becomes clear that Sun Wukong is stronger, as his physical body is far more powerful, and his mana is much more profound. The only reason the child can hold his own for so long is that Sun Wukong hasn't gone all out—if he had, the child would've been easily defeated.

[Taiyi Zhenren]: I thought that child was evenly matched with Sun Wukong, but it turns out the monkey is holding back. I wonder what their relationship is.

[Bai Ze]: Let's not jump to conclusions. The video isn't over yet, and there could be more to this. Don't make any hasty judgments!

At that moment, the situation in the video takes a sharp turn. The child, realizing he's no match for Sun Wukong, steps back a few paces, creating some distance between them, then suddenly spits out a stream of fierce flames.

These flames are extraordinary. The moment they touch Sun Wukong, he is forced to retreat. Considering his current body is as strong as that of a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal, there aren't many flames that could harm him.

The viewers are curious—what kind of fire is this? It's powerful enough to push back Sun Wukong, yet it doesn't actually ignite him. Instead, the flames swirl around him, accompanied by thick black smoke, catching Sun Wukong off guard.

What appeared to be an easy battle has suddenly become dangerous for Sun Wukong. The flames disorient him, leaving him stunned and unable to defend himself properly.

Even though he's reeling, Sun Wukong doesn't back down. Enraged, he raises his staff to strike at the child in earnest, but the fire continues to surround him, trapping him in its encirclement.

The flames won't dissipate, and Sun Wukong is unable to break free from their grasp. The longer he stays inside, the more he suffers. His once-golden fur is now blackened, his face smudged with soot. Realizing things are getting dire, he decides to retreat, knowing he can't afford to stay any longer.

By now, Sun Wukong feels a sharp pain in his eyes, burned by the strange fire. If he stays, his eyes—his famed fire-eyes that once endured the flames of Laozi's furnace—might be blinded.

This fire is no ordinary flame; it's strong enough to injure Sun Wukong, even though his eyes are usually highly resistant to fire. He uses all his strength to flee, while the child can only watch him go, grinning smugly, knowing he's wounded Sun Wukong.

As Sun Wukong flees, the video abruptly ends. In total, only two figures appeared in the video: Sun Wukong, who everyone recognized, and a mysterious child, who not only held his own against Sun Wukong but forced him to flee in embarrassment.

Though the video was clear, it left everyone feeling puzzled and uncertain.
