Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 127 Wang Chen's Challenge

After talking with Xue Qinghe for about an hour, an uninvited guest arrived, interrupting their discussion on "humor" and "fun".

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

A young man who looked to be about eighteen years old walked up to the two of them, glanced at Tang San with a hint of hostility.

This person was none other than Wang Chen.

With his innate full soul power, he was naturally arranged by Xue Qinghe to enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and even joined the Heaven Dou Royal Second Team, becoming the captain of those noble team members.

After all, he was Xue Qinghe's man, part of the Crown Prince's faction, and even if he wanted to join the Heaven Dou Royal Team, he couldn't.

Because the members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team One, such as Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Yu Feng, and Oslo, all come from prominent families, especially Yu Tianheng, who is a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Although the forces behind them are close to the Heaven Dou Empire, they are not entirely subservient to it, unlike the Heaven Dou Royal Second Team, which is completely tied to the Heaven Dou Empire.

"What do you want?" Xue Qinghe looked at Wang Chen, her tone slightly cold towards this guy who had disturbed her interest, but considering that Tang San was beside her, her attitude was still relatively gentle.

"Your Highness, as your guard, it is my duty to protect your safety and prevent shady people from deceiving you." Wang Chen's gaze fell on Tang San.

"Insolence!" Xue Qinghe shouted, "How dare you allow such disreputable people to exist in the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?"

"Your Highness, I..."

"Hmm?" Xue Qinghe said in a deep voice, suddenly feeling that Wang Chen was a bit like an untamed wolf cub.

"I'm sorry, I went too far." Wang Chen immediately realized that Qian Renxue was now Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. As a guard, he couldn't offer suggestions as freely as he could when facing Qian Renxue.

If word gets out about what happened here, his identity as a "guard" will be criticized by others, and Xue Qinghe himself will be attacked by Prince Xue Xing and others for not disciplining his subordinates properly.

"In that case, you may leave." Xue Qinghe planned to "discipline" Wang Chen properly later.

"Your Highness, I have a request to make." Wang Chen bowed, performing all the proper courtesies, but he didn't intend to stop there. Instead, he looked at Tang San and said, "I want to have a duel with this young talent to see if he is worthy to be Your Highness's friend."

"Wang Chen, I said, step down." Xue Qinghe's tone became more serious. She wondered if she had been too lenient with Wang Chen lately, which was why this guy dared to take advantage of her.

"Your Highness, it seems this person has a lot of opinions about me." Tang San calmly changed his address back to "Your Highness," his sharp eyes scrutinizing Wang Chen. He had some guesses about the other party's identity and couldn't help but laugh. "Perhaps, for this senior, protecting you is an honor, and he doesn't want anyone else to get close to you."

Tang San could understand this mentality. After all, most of the transmigrators who came to Douluo Continent did so in order to mindlessly whitewash characters like Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, and treated them as their own, not allowing other male characters to get close.

However, reality is not a novel, and things will not develop as these time travelers imagined. Everyone in this world has flesh and blood and their own thoughts.

If you have the ability, just go for it. Why bother arguing with him?

"He's just a guard, nothing important." Xue Qinghe didn't take Tang San's praise of Wang Chen seriously, and even thought that Wang Chen was very disobedient.

Upon hearing Xue Qinghe's evaluation of him, Wang Chen lowered his head and blamed it all on Tang San, believing that the protagonist's halo had made Xue Qinghe "lower his intelligence."

Therefore, he must defeat Tang San to impress Xue Qinghe.

"Brother Tang, please don't blame me. I haven't disciplined him properly. His name is Wang Chen. He has innate full soul power. I picked him up and raised him in the palace when he was a child. He doesn't have much strength, but he has developed a bad temper," Xue Qinghe said.

"It's alright. As His Highness the Crown Prince's guard, protecting his safety is my duty. It's normal for him to be wary of a stranger like me." Tang San's gaze was calm and indifferent, but it revealed a faint sadness, as if he was lamenting that he was ultimately just a commoner, and that being able to become sworn brothers with someone as noble as His Highness the Crown Prince was just a pipe dream.

"Brother Tang, you..."

Seeing Tang San's expression, Xue Qinghe felt a sudden pang in her heart, an extreme discomfort. She wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say. All the aristocratic etiquette she had learned seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

We were having a great time chatting just now, but everything changed after Wang Chen arrived!

It's all that bastard's fault!

In an instant, Xue Qinghe blamed all the mistakes on Wang Chen!

If things had continued as he envisioned, his relationship with Tang San would have been much closer, and Tang San could have become his ally in the future. But now, all of that has been ruined by that idiot Wang Chen!

Your Royal Highness?

How solemn this title is, how... jarring it is!

"It's alright, Your Highness. Perhaps I'm a little tired from traveling all this way." Tang San prepared to take his leave.

"Tang San, are you trying to run away from the fight?" Wang Chen gritted his teeth, deciding to be even more audacious. Anyway, Qian Renxue probably wouldn't kill him for this, but if he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't know how to find a reason to defeat Tang San in front of Qian Renxue.

Only by defeating Tang San in front of Qian Renxue can she reduce Tang San's value in her eyes and improve her own status.

"Wang Chen, I said, step back!" Xue Qinghe emphasized again, even wanting to kill the jealous Wang Chen directly.

She didn't care about a mere innate full soul power!

But there's only one Tang San in the world, and it's unknown how long it will take for the next "Tang San" to appear.

"Your Highness, I simply want to test whether this legendary theoretical master is as powerful as the legends say," Wang Chen insisted. "This is how Soul Masters mutually recognize each other."

"In the world of Soul Masters, strength is indeed paramount." Tang San nodded. "However, I am a support type. Although I am classified as an all-around support type, my greatest strength is not in combat, but in helping others recover and heal."

"However, if Senior Wang Chen really wants to give me some pointers, then I will listen attentively."

In these words, Tang San first feigned weakness, saying that he was a support type, so even if the opponent won, there would be no glory in it. Secondly, he was trying to sow discord between Xue Qinghe and Wang Chen—he had already said that he was a support type, yet Wang Chen still insisted on challenging him. Even if he won, Xue Qinghe wouldn't care too much about him.

Tang San's attitude towards other transmigrators is always "I won't offend others unless they offend me." But if someone comes looking for trouble for no reason, then don't blame him for using everything at his disposal, including people, to target those brainless idiots who have nothing better to do.

Since he's transmigrated to this world with extraordinary powers, instead of thinking about cultivation, he's thinking about how to cause trouble, and he doesn't even have a powerful cheat ability, so don't blame him for turning this transmigration journey into a disaster.

The world doesn't revolve around you!

He couldn't amount to much in the peaceful real world. He transmigrated, but instead of cherishing the chance to live again, he was thinking of causing trouble, believing that the world revolved around him.

Dream on!
