Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Flowing Blade Like Fire terrifies Bibi Dong

Chapter 50 Heaven Dou Royal Academy

Salas felt a chill and abruptly looked up at Su Chen's back.

Only now did he truly understand what kind of terrifying tacit understanding had been reached at the secret meeting at the Crown Prince's residence last night.

Xue Qinghe gave Su Chen the highest-level admission ticket, not to curry favor with the Spirit Hall.

He was going to put this monster, Su Chen, directly into Prince Xuexing's back garden!

"Your Highness—" Salas swallowed hard and lowered his voice, "Prince Snowstar will never stand idly by and watch you establish your authority in the academy. He will definitely secretly instruct the three academic committee members, and even have Prince Avalanche lead the incitement of those noble students to give you a hard time."

"Should I dispatch a squad of Templar Knights to provide close protection for your safety?"

"unnecessary."

Su Chen turned around, a hint of undisguised violence and arrogance igniting in his deep eyes.

"I'll go alone."

"If I bring too many people, they'll think I'm just using the Spirit Hall's influence to bully others, and that way it won't hurt as much."

Su Chen walked to the table and grabbed the dark, ancient-looking Zanpakuto.

"Don't they like to talk about rules, pomp, and aristocratic decorum?"

"Then I will trample their pride and honor, their geniuses, their rules, and their reputation, along with the golden signboard of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, into a pile of dust in front of the entire Heaven Dou City."

"I'll see if Prince Xuexing can still save face after I single-handedly crush the pride of these nobles!"

Salas's heart pounded, and even his breathing became heavier.

That's outrageous.

That's too ruthless.

This isn't communication at all; it's blatant sabotage, and it's aimed right at their vital artery!

"Understood, sir." Salas bowed deeply. "I will immediately block the news and ensure that Xuexing will not find out your background before the moment you are officially admitted to the hospital."

Su Chen nodded slightly and was about to step outside when a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

A cardinal strode into the basilica and knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness, Bishop Salas, there's been some activity from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."

Salas frowned: "Speak."

"Prince Xuexing just went to the academy in person. He not only summoned the three major teaching committee members, but also gathered the Royal Fighting Team and students from various noble families at the main campus. Moreover, they also set up city defense troops outside the school gate, saying that they were going to hold a high-level military formation to welcome the envoys from the Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing this, Salas couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"What a magnificent military display of the highest caliber! This is clearly Prince Xuexing's way of demonstrating his power to His Highness, attempting to use the military might of the Heavenly Dou Empire and the pomp of the Royal Academy to suppress His Highness's arrogance!"

"If Your Highness leads the team, they can find an excuse to criticize the Spirit Hall for being arrogant and domineering, and for bringing troops into the school; if Your Highness goes alone, facing such a force, your morale will naturally be weaker. That old fox, he's really shrewd!"

Su Chen's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, but the violent look in his eyes intensified.

"Military formations and ceremonial guards?"

"Since he likes to make a big show of things, I'll grant his wish."

Su Chen casually tossed the Crown Prince's document on the table into the brazier, watching it instantly turn to ashes.

"Salas, you don't need to go. Just stay here and watch the show."

"Starting this afternoon, the nameplate of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy will no longer belong to Xue."

After saying that, Su Chen turned around and strode out of the hall.

The majestic mountain gate of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

A thousand heavily armed Tiandou City defenders stood in two rows, their long spears like a forest, their armor plates reflecting a cold, menacing glint in the sunlight. This so-called "highest-level military formation" was in reality an invisible show of force, effectively blocking the only way to the academy's main campus.

Prince Xuexing, dressed in a magnificent princely robe, sat imposingly on the grand chair in the center of the mountain gate. Beside him stood Xue Beng, his expression somber, and the three members of the Education Committee who had been forced to attend.

Behind them, the steps were densely packed with noble students from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. The members of the Royal Dou Team, including Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lengleng, and others, were all present.

"Your Highness, does that Holy Son of the Spirit Hall really dare to come alone?" Xue Beng lowered his voice, a hint of sneer in his tone. "Faced with this kind of military formation, even a Soul Emperor-level expert would be instantly crushed in terms of momentum."

Prince Xuexing picked up his teacup and slowly skimmed off the foam: "If he doesn't dare to come, or if he brings a large number of Templar Knights, then this 'exchange envoy' will have completely lost face. If he insists on coming alone—ha, I'd like to see how a teenager can get past these thousand spears!"

As soon as the words were spoken, at the end of the long street, a tall and slender figure in black slowly entered everyone's sight.

There were no carriages, no guards, and they didn't even try to quicken their pace.

Su Chen casually walked towards the gate of the Heaven Dou Empire's highest academy, with one hand resting on his Zanpakuto at his waist.

All eyes in the room instantly focused on the boy.

Yu Tianheng stared intently at Su Chen, his fists clenching tightly inside his sleeves. The nightmarish sword strike in Sunset Forest resurfaced uncontrollably in his mind once more.

"Is he Su Chen?" Meng Shenji, one of the three education committee members, frowned slightly. "What a terrifying temperament. Facing an army of a thousand men, his heartbeat and breathing didn't even falter in the slightest."

Su Chen walked to a point ten meters in front of the military formation and stopped.

He slightly raised his head, his deep eyes sweeping over the thousand spears pointing at him, finally settling on the huge golden signboard of "Heavenly Dou Royal Academy" behind him.

"Military formations and ceremonial guards?" Su Chen suddenly laughed, his laughter tinged with undisguised contempt. "Is this all the Prince Xuexing has to offer? A bunch of steel shells who can't even muster a killing intent, trying to set rules for me, Su Chen?"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Prince Xuexing's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the armrest: "Insolence! Su Chen, although you are the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, this is the Heaven Dou Empire! I greeted you with a military formation to give you face, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly?!"

"Decent?"

The smile on Su Chen's face vanished instantly, replaced by a suffocating ferocity.

"I don't need the respect you offer. Because your respect, in my eyes—"

Before Su Chen could finish speaking, a ghastly green, foul wind suddenly swept up from the horizon!

This stench came extremely suddenly, instantly transforming into a sky full of emerald green poisonous mist, which descended from the sky like a tsunami, directly crashing down in front of the mountain gate of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy!

"That's—the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King?!"

Meng Shenji was shocked and took a step forward, his soul power surging wildly as he tried to protect the students behind him.

Prince Xuexing's expression also changed drastically. Of course, he recognized the owner of this poisonous fog; it was his greatest reliance, the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!

But why did Dugu Bo suddenly appear at this time? And in such a violent manner?

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

With a loud shout, a slender green figure landed with a thud from the poisonous fog, and the terrifying pressure of a Title Douluo instantly swept across the entire scene.

The thousand proud city defense soldiers, under the pressure of the titled Douluo and the approaching poisonous fog, collapsed to the ground like wheat being harvested, unable to even hold their spears, which clattered and rattled.

Prince Xuexing's painstakingly arranged "military formation and ceremonial guard" collapsed in less than three seconds, turning into a huge joke.

"Your Majesty, Poison Douluo? What are you doing here—" Prince Xuexing, disregarding his embarrassment, quickly stood up and went to greet him.

However, Dugu Bo didn't even glance at Prince Xuexing.

His face was full of anxiety, and his eyes even showed a hint of unconcealed fear. He walked straight past the city defense soldiers who were lying on the ground and strode up to Su Chen.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of everyone present, including Prince Xuexing, the three education committee members, and Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan—

This arrogant Poison Douluo, who didn't even respect the Emperor of Heavenly Dou, actually bent his knees and knelt heavily in front of Su Chen with a "thump"!

"Your Highness Su Chen! I beg you, please save my granddaughter Yan Yan!"

Dead silence.

A deathly silence fell over the entire area in front of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's mountain gate.

Prince Xuexing's expression froze completely, and the teacup slipped from his hand and shattered.

Yu Tianheng was struck dumb, his face turned deathly pale, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

What did he see?

A titled Douluo, a guest elder of the Heaven Dou royal family, and Dugu Yan's grandfather, actually knelt down in public before the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall who had stolen all his pride?!

Immediately afterwards, the poisonous fog dissipated, revealing two figures behind them.

Dugu Yan was enveloped in a layer of emerald green soul power shield, her face deathly pale, and a deadly black aura had appeared between her brows. Supporting her beside her was Yu Tianheng, whose face was filled with humiliation and despair.

Su Chen looked down at Dugu Bo kneeling before him, his deep eyes showing no surprise, but rather a hint of cold mockery.

"Dugu Bo, you're half a day later than I expected."

Su Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"It seems you tried to suppress the backlash in her body with poison, but you messed it up, causing the poison to erupt completely and approach her heart, right?"

Dugu Bo's face turned deathly pale, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Highness, please see the truth! I was foolish! I shouldn't have dared to challenge Your Highness's methods! If Your Highness is willing to save Yan Yan, my life will be yours from now on!"

Su Chen did not answer immediately, but instead looked past Dugu Bo and landed on Yu Tianheng behind him.

Looking at Yu Tianheng's face, twisted with humiliation and powerlessness, Su Chen's smile grew even more cruel.

"Yu Tianheng, aren't you the unparalleled genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family? Aren't you the captain of the Royal Fighting Team?"

Su Chen slowly stepped forward and walked up to Yu Tianheng. The oppressive feeling was like a mountain crashing down on him.

"Your beloved woman is now hanging by a thread, and you, this so-called genius, what can you do besides watch her grandfather kneel and kowtow to me?"

Yu Tianheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth so tightly that a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"Su Chen—don't push your luck!" Yu Tianheng practically spat out these words through gritted teeth.

"This is going too far!"

Su Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu Tianheng's chin, forcing him to raise his head and look directly into his cold eyes.

"I may be bullying you, but what can you do about it?"

"If you want her to live, kneel down and beg me."

Su Chen's voice, like the whisper of a demon, echoed in the sky above the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

At this moment, Yu Tianheng's dignity, along with the pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, was brutally crushed into the mud by Su Chen in front of the entire faculty and students.
