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

Chapter 52 A Premeditated Information War

In front of the mountain gate.

Faced with Prince Xuexing's relentless pressure, the combined pressure from the three major education commissions, and the accusations from the entire faculty and students, the college faced a series of challenges.

Su Chen suddenly laughed.

First came a soft chuckle, then a cold laugh, and finally, unrestrained, maniacal laughter.

The laughter reverberated through the air, causing the students who had been shouting to fall silent involuntarily, a strong sense of unease rising within them.

"Su Chen, what are you laughing at!" Prince Xue Xing's face darkened. "Do you think you can get away with pretending to be crazy?"

"I laugh at you, like a bunch of toads arguing about how big the sky is at the bottom of a well."

Su Chen stopped laughing and looked at Prince Xue Xing and the three education committee members with eyes that seemed to look at dead people.

"Do you think that by constantly talking about laws, rules, and dignity, you can stand on the moral high ground and crush me?"

"Do you all think that as long as there are many of you, as long as everyone protests together, I will be pressured and obediently tuck my tail between my legs and leave?"

As Su Chen spoke, he slowly walked towards the steps.

"Xue Xing, your tricks of manipulating power and inciting public opinion may work in the imperial court, but they are worthless to me."

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a token appeared in Su Chen's hand.

It was a token made entirely of pure gold, with a six-winged angel engraved on the front and the three large characters "Papal Decree" engraved on the back!

The moment the token appeared, the air in front of the mountain gate seemed to freeze.

The pupils of the three education commissioners contracted sharply, and even their breathing paused for a moment.

Prince Xuexing's face instantly turned liver-colored. He never expected that Bibi Dong would hand over the papal decree, representing the Pope's personal presence, to a teenager!

"Look carefully." Su Chen held the Papal Decree up to Prince Xue Xing, his voice icy and chilling. "I am the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and more importantly, the special envoy holding the Papal Decree. I represent the will of the highest ruler of the Spirit Hall!"

"You're talking to me about the laws of the Heaven Dou Empire? You're talking to me about the rules of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Before the papal decree, your manners are not even worthy of shining my shoes!"

Su Chen suddenly took a step forward, and his powerful aura forced Prince Xue Xing to take a half step back, almost causing him to lose his footing and fall down the steps.

"As for your so-called qualifications as an exchange envoy—" Su Chen sneered, then pulled out the official document bearing the royal seal that Xue Qinghe had sent last night and slammed it directly into Prince Xue Xing's face.

"Open your dog eyes and look! This is a top-level special approval document personally signed by His Highness the Crown Prince of your Heaven Dou Empire! It clearly states in black and white that I, Su Chen, am not only an envoy for exchange, but also possess the privilege of acting freely within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy without any restrictions from regulations!"

"You, a mere prince, can just cancel a document signed by His Highness the Crown Prince?" Su Chen's voice suddenly rose, booming like thunder. "Xue Xing, do you even respect the legitimacy of the Heavenly Dou royal family? Do you think that as a prince, you can bypass the Crown Prince, or even Emperor Xue Ye, and directly make decisions for the Heavenly Dou Empire?!"

boom!

This huge accusation hit Prince Xuexing so hard that he saw stars and broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he rivaled the Crown Prince in court, the outward appearance of respect between ruler and subject had to be maintained. If the accusation of "overstepping his authority and disregarding the Crown Prince" were confirmed, his situation with Emperor Xueye would become extremely dangerous!

"You—you're spouting nonsense! I had no such intention!" Prince Xuexing roared in exasperation.

"It's best if you don't have that intention." Su Chen didn't give him a chance to explain, turning directly to the three education committee members, "Meng Shenji, you three old guys, listen up. I'm not here today to beg you to take me in, I'm here to take over this place!"

"From this moment forward, there will be only one rule in the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. That rule belongs to me, Su Chen!"

"Who dares to stop me? Who dares to disobey me?!"

Su Chen suddenly drew the Flowing Blade from his waist.

"Clang!"

The black blade flashed a chilling glint in the sunlight, its tip pointing directly at Yu Tianheng, who lay sprawled on the ground, still unable to get up.

"This is what happens!"

"Who was the one shouting the loudest just now?" Su Chen's gaze swept across the crowd, finally locking onto Prince Xue Beng, who had just led the commotion.

Xue Beng was locked onto by Su Chen's tangible killing intent, and screamed in fright, immediately hiding behind Prince Xue Xing.

"You—what do you want to do! I am the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire! If you dare to touch me, you are declaring war on the entire Heaven Dou Empire!" Xue Beng screamed, his voice filled with bluster but his heart was filled with fear.

"Declare war?" Su Chen chuckled dismissively. "You overestimate yourself. You don't need to declare war to crush an ant."

Before he finished speaking, Su Chen's figure had already vanished from the spot in an instant.

Instant Step!

"Protect His Highness!" Prince Xuexing shouted in alarm.

Several royal guards with Soul Emperor-level strength immediately rushed out from the shadows, attempting to block the avalanche.

But it's too slow.

Compared to Su Chen's Instant Step, the reaction speed of these Soul Emperors was laughable, almost like slow motion.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three dull thuds rang out in succession.

The royal guards who had just rushed out were sent flying by Su Chen's whip kick and elbow strike before they even had a chance to unleash their martial spirits. They crashed heavily into the academy's stone pillars, coughing up blood and losing consciousness.

Su Chen appeared before Avalanche like a ghost.

"You—" Xue Beng was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, a foul stench spreading from his crotch.

The fourth prince of the mighty Heaven Dou Empire was so scared that he wet himself!

"What a piece of trash." Su Chen frowned in disgust, losing even the will to fight. He simply raised his right foot and stomped mercilessly on Xue Beng's chest.

"Snap!"

The sound of several ribs breaking was clearly heard, and the avalanche let out a pig-like scream, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Su Chen! How dare you hurt my nephew!" Prince Xue Xing's eyes were bloodshot, and a powerful surge of soul power finally erupted from his body, revealing him to be a Soul Douluo-level expert.

He no longer cared about propriety or rules; with his martial spirit activated, he lunged directly at Su Chen.

"roll!"

Su Chen didn't even turn around; he simply swung his sword backhand.

There was no initial release, no soul skill, and not even much soul power was used.

With just his extreme physical strength and the power exertion techniques of the Shinigami swordsmanship, the Zanpakuto cut through the air with a piercing sonic boom.

"boom!"

Prince Xuexing felt an overwhelming force crashing down on him. His proud soul power defense was like paper in front of this force, shattering instantly.

He was forced back more than ten steps by the knife, until he crashed into the armchair and barely managed to steady himself. His chest heaved with blood and qi, his throat tasted sweet, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone was completely stunned by this scene.

He cleaved back a prince at the level of a Soul Douluo with a single strike!

He broke the fourth prince's ribs with one stomp!

He held in his hands the papal decree and the crown prince's special approval document!

This is no mere messenger; this is an unparalleled and invincible demon that cannot be provoked or stopped!

Su Chen sheathed his sword, his foot still planted on Xue Beng's chest, his gaze sweeping over the entire scene with disdain.

"Now, does anyone still want to talk to me about the rules?"

No one dared to answer.

The three education commissioners looked at each other, and finally could only sigh helplessly, silently stepping aside and clearing the way for the entrance to the college.

They knew that today, the face of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy had been utterly shattered. And in front of everyone, it had been shattered beyond repair.

Prince Xuexing clutched his chest, staring intently at Su Chen, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness. But he dared not advance further; he knew perfectly well that he was no match for this young man. If he were to force his way in again, he would not only lose face, but his life.

"Fine—very well—" Prince Xuexing gritted his teeth and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Su Chen, everything you've done today will be reported to His Majesty in detail. Do you really think that you alone can call the shots in Tiandou City?"

"Whatever." Su Chen shrugged indifferently, moved his foot off the avalanche's chest, and kicked it aside like trash.

"However, before you go and complain, you'd better find out what people in Tiandou City are saying about you bunch of good-for-nothings."

No sooner had Su Chen finished speaking than a scout from the city defense army scrambled over, knelt before Prince Xue Xing, and reported in a terrified voice, "Your Highness! Something terrible has happened! It's spreading like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys of Tian Dou City—it's spreading like wildfire—"

"What are you spreading! Speak!" Prince Xuexing roared.

"It's spreading like wildfire—it's spreading like wildfire that the students of the Royal Academy are a bunch of useless trash, saying—saying that you led troops to block the road, but were scared out of your wits by the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall—and saying—saying that the future of the Heaven Dou Empire is completely rotten—"

The scout's words were like a heavy hammer blow, striking hard into the hearts of Prince Xuexing and all the noble students.

The avalanche had been trying to get up, but upon hearing this, it rolled its eyes in anger and fainted.

Prince Xuexing nearly fainted from shock and almost vomited blood from anger.

He finally understood why Su Chen dared to disrupt the event so brazenly today.

This is clearly a premeditated propaganda war!

The Spirit Hall is trying to completely ruin the reputation of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Prince Xue Xing in the public eye!

The show of force he put on today was practically offering himself up for a beating, and in doing so, he provided them with the perfect material to slap him in the face!

"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit—what a perfect way to kill someone is to destroy their spirit—" Prince Xuexing trembled with rage, his finger pointing at Su Chen shaking.

Su Chen ignored the clown who had completely failed.

He turned around and, under the watchful eyes of a thousand limp city guards and hundreds of silent noble students, with his hands behind his back, he calmly stepped into the gates of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

The black figure, stretched by the sunlight, appeared incredibly tall, making even the entire academy building seem somewhat dim.
