Douluo Continent: The Drunken Sword Immortal slaps Ning Rongrong in the face right from the start!

Chapter 40 Xue Qinghe's Thoughts

Zhu Zhuqing's face lit up with a smile after being praised by Ye Yan.

This is the first time her senior has ever praised her!

"I'll also teach you another way to use this movement technique. As for how much you can learn, that depends on your own talent and effort."

As the creator, Ye Yan was still somewhat pleased that someone could learn the soul skills he had created.

While the two were still training in Death Valley, practicing their movement techniques and soul skills.

Outside Death Valley, the three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation have already hunted down their fifth spirit skills, and all three have reached the Spirit King level!

"Hmm, to become a Soul King at this age, you can be considered top geniuses in the entire Douluo Continent. Let's leave here and go back to Wuhun City. There's still a year until the next Advanced Soul Beast Tournament, so take this time to consolidate your cultivation."

"Elder Ju, that Drunken Sword Immortal is still in the canyon. Could they have really already crossed it?"

Hu Liena originally wanted to call him the Drunken Title Douluo, but Ye Yan himself said that day that he was the Drunken Sword Immortal, so that might be his title.

In the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters who have reached level 90 can choose a unique title, hence they are also known as Titled Douluo.

However, this was the first time she had ever heard of the title "Sword Immortal of Drunkenness".

After a moment's thought, Yue Guan replied, "It should be. His eighth and ninth spirit rings are both 100,000-year spirit rings, while the spirit beast deep in Death Valley is only close to 100,000 years old."

"Forget it, this is not a problem for you to worry about. Hurry up and prepare to return to the Spirit Hall. I also need to report this matter to His Holiness the Pope."

Tian Dou City.

After returning from Wuhun City, Serpent Spear Douluo went to Xue Qinghe's palace, where ministers were standing and discussing various problems in the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Although Skyfire City was damaged, a mysterious person donated a huge sum of money to Skyfire City! Now the construction of Skyfire City has been almost restored, and during this period, the Eight Souls Merchant Guild has also been actively cooperating with the restoration of Skyfire City, and plans to hold the Skyfire Grand Ceremony again."

Xue Qinghe: "Has the identity of that mysterious person been found out?"

"No, not yet. It seems the Eight Souls Merchant Guild is intentionally protecting that person's identity."

Xue Qinghe continued reviewing the documents in his hands without pressing further, but at this moment, Meng Shenji, the chief instructor of the Tiandou Royal Academy, spoke up: "Your Highness, I have something I would like to report to you."

Meng Shenji is not only the chief instructor of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but also a level 86 Soul Douluo!

Such a person would attract attention wherever he went. At this moment, Xue Qinghe put down his pen and looked directly at Meng Shenji, asking, "What is it, Chief Education Commissioner?"

"It's about the academy. Some time ago, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy in Tiandou City contacted me and wanted me to take on students from Blue Tyrant Academy. She seems to want to travel all over the continent, so she doesn't want to be the dean anymore."

Blue Tyrant Academy is quite famous in Tiandou City, as it is the only academy in Tiandou City that admits commoners. Moreover, the name easily evokes the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three major clans on the Douluo Continent.

In addition, Blue Tyrant Academy has indeed achieved excellent results in recent years, basically only losing to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Shen Mengji continued, "We can take over Blue Tyrant Academy and turn it into the second campus of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."

This is a good thing, but as the chief education commissioner, he should be able to make the decision on his own. Since they came to ask him, the crown prince, it means there are other additional conditions that are not easy to handle, right?

Sure enough, Shen Mengji sighed and said, "But the other party has one request: that they accept the students currently in the academy and promise to continue accepting ordinary students in the future."

Before Xue Qinghe could speak, the noble ministers beside him exclaimed, "No! Absolutely not!"

Once the nobles discover something that affects their interests, they quickly unite to eliminate all potential threats.

"If we let those lowly commoners fight against the royal academy, doesn't that mean our noble offspring will have to live alongside those filthy commoners? What's the difference between that and letting our children live in a pigsty!"

Xue Qinghe frowned at the minister who had spoken and said, "Minister Thomas, please watch your words. They are all subjects of my Heavenly Dou Empire, without distinction of rank!"

Thomas snorted, but still had to give face to Xue Qinghe, the crown prince, and apologized on the surface, but in his heart he still looked down on those commoners and continued to oppose the matter.

Not only him, but other ministers also held opposing views.

Xue Qinghe rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, and said to everyone, "I will consider this matter. You may all leave now."

The imperial power of the Heavenly Dou royal family is not as stable as that of the Star Luo Empire, so he has to consider the opinions of these ministers and nobles.

Meng Shenji sighed. He knew this would probably be the result, but he still wanted to give it a try.

After they all left, Serpent Spear Douluo emerged from the shadows and bowed to Xue Qinghe, saying, "Young Master, it seems that Wuhun City doesn't know about Ye Yan. According to the information I've gathered, it should be true."

"So, he really has no connection with the Spirit Hall?"

"But we can't blame anyone else. His strength is too monstrous. Apart from the Spirit Hall, no one on the entire continent has the confidence to cultivate such a person."

"It's alright, just do your best to win him over. Do you know his next move?"

"We don't know yet. He disappeared after causing trouble in Skyfire City, and there's been no news about him anywhere else on the continent. Maybe he's hiding?"

Xue Qinghe laughed and said, "Hide? I don't think he's that kind of person. Find some people to continue searching for him. Report back to me immediately after you find him. Don't rush to make contact."

"Also, send one of our own people to Skyfire City."

Although Huang Dongfang was a member of Xue Qinghe before, that was the previous "Xue Qinghe".

"I see."

After a pause, Xue Qinghe asked in a slightly weaker tone, "Grandpa, did he say anything?"

Serpent Spear Douluo was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, he said, "The Grand Elder wants you to focus on completing the mission. You can return when the time is right."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe chuckled softly, a touch of sadness creeping into her heart.

He had heard this phrase before, the year before that, and even earlier.

"Go downstairs, I want to be alone for a while."

Serpent Spear Douluo nodded and stepped back.

After traversing Death Valley, Ye Yan and Zhu Zhuqing finally left the dimly lit environment.

"Senior, we're out!"
