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

Chapter 51 The Rules Were Broken

The area in front of the mountain gate was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Those city guards who were slumped on the ground, those noble students who were standing on the steps and were originally ready to watch the show, and even the three major education committee members, did not dare to breathe loudly at this moment.

Who could have imagined that what was supposed to be a show of force by the Heaven Dou royal family to the Spirit Hall's envoys would turn into a public execution ground for Dugu Bo and Yu Tianheng?

"Su Chen!" Yu Tianheng's eyes were almost dripping blood as he stared intently at the pair of black eyes so close to his, letting out a low growl like a dying beast.

He didn't want to kneel.

A direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, the strongest genius of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and the absolute core of the Royal Fighting Team.

Every label attached to him was frantically resisting this extremely humiliating demand.

However, when he glanced at Dugu Yan, whose face had turned ashen and whose breath was barely a whisper, the pride that had sustained him collapsed like a tower whose foundation had been drained.

"Tianheng—Farewell—" Dugu Yan struggled to open her eyes, uttering two words barely in her voice. She would rather die than see the man she loved suffer such humiliation.

However, the more she acted this way, the faster Yu Tianheng's defenses crumbled.

"I—" Yu Tianheng's knees began to tremble, and the bones in his body creaked and rubbed together in extreme resistance.

"Still not kneeling?" Su Chen's smile grew even colder, his fingers gripping Yu Tianheng's chin tightening slightly. "The poison in Dugu Yan's heart meridian can only last ten breaths at most. Ten, nine, eight—"

Su Chen's emotionless countdown was like a death knell striking Yu Tianheng's heart.

"thump!"

Finally, when Su Chen counted to "three", Yu Tianheng's knees slammed heavily onto the hard bluestone slab.

The kneecap even cracked due to the excessive force of the impact, leaving a bloody mark that stained the stone bricks on the ground red.

"Please—save her—" Yu Tianheng lowered his head, his forehead almost touching the ground. Every word was as if it had been scraped out of his throat with a knife, filled with endless despair and humiliation.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Royal Fighting Team on the steps all closed their eyes in anguish.

Yu Feng clenched his fists tightly, Oslo turned his head away, unable to bear to look any longer, while Ye Leng Leng covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes brimming with tears.

Their once-proud captain, the arrogant and domineering successor of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, has today had his spine shattered both mentally and physically.

"Now that's more like an obedient dog." Su Chen released his grip, wiped his fingertips on Yu Tianheng's clothes with disgust, and then slowly turned around to look at Dugu Bo kneeling on the other side.

"Old poison master, take her to my residence." Su Chen casually tossed a small jade bottle, which landed precisely in Dugu Bo's arms. "There's a Heart-Protecting Pill inside. Feed it to her first; it will protect her from the poison for twelve hours. As for a complete detoxification, we'll deal with that after I'm settled in the hospital."

Dugu Bo held the jade bottle as if it were a priceless treasure, tears streaming down his face, repeatedly kowtowing: "Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you for your great kindness!"

After saying that, he fed the pill into Dugu Yan's mouth without hesitation, then picked up his granddaughter and, without even glancing at Yu Tianheng kneeling beside him, transformed into a green light and disappeared into the depths of the academy.

Dugu Bo knew very well that at this moment, anyone who dared to disobey Su Chen was courting death. As for Yu Tianheng's dignity? It was nothing but a fart in the face of his granddaughter's life.

With Dugu Bo's departure, the oppressive aura of a Title Douluo that had been looming over everyone finally dissipated.

But the atmosphere at the scene was ten times more oppressive than before.

Because everyone realized that this teenage Holy Son of the Spirit Hall had turned the dignified Poison Douluo into his most obedient lackey with just a few words and a jade bottle.

This kind of tactic, this kind of intimidation, is absolutely chilling.

"What? Still haven't seen enough?" Su Chen turned his head, his cold gaze sweeping over the pale-faced noble students on the steps. "Should I pin you all to the ground and teach you how to bow one by one?"

The students were so frightened that they retreated one after another, as if they had seen a plague god, and made way for a main road leading to the main campus.

Su Chen sneered, took a step, and was about to step over the city defense soldiers who were lying on the ground and enter the gate of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Just then, an extremely gloomy voice suddenly came from above the steps.

"stop!"

Prince Xuexing finally recovered from his initial shock and embarrassment.

He abruptly shoved aside the guards who tried to help him, strode to the edge of the steps, pointed at Su Chen, and shouted sternly, "Su Chen! You've gone too far!"

Prince Xuexing's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it.

Not only was Dugu Bo's meticulously planned military formation ruined, but Dugu Bo even fawned over the Spirit Hall like a dog right in front of him.

This is not only a slap in the face to Xue Xing, but also a humiliation to the dignity of the Tian Dou royal family!

If Su Chen is allowed to swagger in today, what prestige will Prince Xue Xing have left in Tian Dou City?

His hard-earned foundation at the Royal Academy will collapse completely at this moment!

"Insolence?" Su Chen stopped and turned his head slightly, looking at Prince Xue Xing with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot. "Your Highness, are you mistaken? You're the ones who set up this formation to block my way, and now you're accusing me of insolence?"

"Don't try to deny it!" Prince Xuexing said through gritted teeth. "I greeted you with the highest military honors of the empire! You are the one who is ungrateful, speaking rudely and allowing Poison Douluo to cause trouble here! You even publicly humiliated the top genius of my Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Su Chen, don't think that just because you have the Spirit Hall backing you up, you can do whatever you want in Heaven Dou City! This is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the highest institution of learning in the Heaven Dou Empire, where the laws of the Empire and the rules of the academy apply!"

Prince Xuexing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and tried to steer the situation back to his area of ​​expertise: "procedural justice."

As long as the matter is characterized as "Su Chen disregarding imperial laws and violating academy rules," he has a reason to refuse Su Chen's admission, and can even directly mobilize more city defense troops to forcibly expel Su Chen.

"Oh? Rules?" Su Chen turned around to face Prince Xue Xing, a playful smile curving his lips. "Then Your Highness, tell me, which rule did I break?"

"You've broken too many rules!" Prince Xue Beng, who had been hiding behind Prince Xue Xing, jumped out and shouted at Su Chen, "First, as an envoy for exchange, you didn't use the main gate to report, but instead spouted nonsense here; second, you condoned Dugu Bo's attack on the city defense forces, which is tantamount to rebellion! Third, you used despicable means to force the academy's genius to kneel, seriously corrupting the academy's atmosphere!"

As Avalanche spoke, he winked at the noble students around him.

Those students who had initially been intimidated by Su Chen seemed to have regained some confidence under the leadership of Prince Xuexing and the Fourth Prince. They began to whisper among themselves, and some even mustered up the courage to echo him.

"Exactly! He's too arrogant!"

"Why should we, the people of Tiandou, kneel before him?"

"Even the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall can't be this unreasonable!"

"Throw him out! The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy doesn't welcome barbarians like him!"

Hearing the growing clamor of condemnation around him, a hint of smugness flashed in Prince Xuexing's eyes.

This is the effect he wanted.

As long as you stir up public opinion and tie all the noble students to your side, even if you are the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, even if you are the strongest, would you dare to defy the world and kill everyone here?

Prince Xuexing stepped forward, looking down at Su Chen with an arrogant tone that suggested he controlled the entire situation: "Su Chen, you heard that too. It's not that I'm disrespectful, but your actions today have aroused public outrage. The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy can no longer tolerate someone like you. Go back to where you came from!"

Having said that, he turned to the three education committee members beside him: "Education Committee Member Meng Shenji, Education Committee Member Zhilin, and Education Committee Member Bai Baoshan. This person acts erratically and disregards the law. In my capacity as the head of the royal family, I propose that his qualification as an exchange envoy be immediately revoked and that he be expelled from the academy! What do you three think?"

The three education commissioners also looked very grim.

Meng Shenji frowned, stepped forward, and said to Su Chen in a somewhat stiff tone, "Your Highness, while His Highness the Prince's words were a bit harsh, your actions today were indeed excessive. This is, after all, the Heavenly Dou Empire. If you cannot abide by the rules here, we three major educational committees may find it difficult to accept your admission application."

Zhilin and Bai Baoshan nodded in agreement. Although they disliked Prince Xuexing's arrogance, they were even more unwilling to see a Holy Son of the Spirit Hall so unrestrained on their territory.

On the issue of upholding the academy's dignity, they are on the same side as Prince Xuexing.

The situation seemed to have been completely reversed by Prince Xuexing at this moment.

Etiquette, school rules, royal dignity, public opinion among teachers and students, plus the statements from the three major education commissions.

After such a series of punches, any normal person would probably feel guilty and speechless, and would have no choice but to slink away in defeat.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Qian Renxue (Xue Qinghe) was on a pavilion with a great view, quietly watching everything that was happening in front of the mountain gate.

"Young Master, that old fox Xue Xing has brought out all the rules." A trusted aide standing behind Qian Renxue said in a low voice, "Although this Holy Son is powerful, he probably won't gain much advantage against this kind of soft knife. Should we intervene? After all, he was nominally invited by you."

"No need." Qian Renxue shook her head, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips. "If he can't even handle this level of difficulty, then all the arrogant things he said to me last night were a joke. I want to see how this fire of his intends to burn this pile of tinder called 'rules'."
