Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Chapter 32 Arrival at Heaven Dou City, Earl's Introduction

Since joining the Nine Heart Begonia family caravan, the rest of the journey has proceeded without any unexpected incidents.

Several more days passed in the blink of an eye, and they finally arrived at Tiandou City.

Along the way, the Qi family deliberately kept a low profile, and while not completely transparent within the caravan, they certainly didn't have much of a presence.

Occasionally, when the caravan stopped to rest, people around would curiously ask them about their battle with the Fallen Soul Master.

Qi's parents only vaguely described the process, without mentioning the specific strength of the three fallen soul masters.

Otherwise, once the news of Qi Dao killing three Soul Sect members with a single sword strike spreads, no one knows what kind of turmoil it will cause.

What Qi's parents feared was that some powerful forces would find out about this and arrest Qi Dao for research.

Tian Dou City.

As one of the most prosperous cities on the mainland, Tiandou City has towering city walls, reaching a height of 100 meters, and is entirely constructed of extremely hard granite.

Even Qi Dao, upon seeing such a city, couldn't help but nod in admiration of its magnificence.

This is more than a thousand times more magnificent than Nottingham!

Soldiers clad in armor and wielding spears patrol both on and below the walls of Tiandou City.

Although they are all just ordinary people, with a hundred or so people working together, even if you are a Great Soul Master or even a Soul Venerable, you will still be surrounded and killed.

This is why Douluo Continent is considered a top-tier fantasy genre.

There is no insurmountable gap between low-level Soul Masters and ordinary people.

Once the soul power is exhausted, the soul master's combat power will be greatly reduced.

Low-level Soul Masters can only unleash their Soul Skills a few times due to the limited Soul Power they have stored within them.

After entering the city, Qi Dao and his family came to say goodbye to the elegant woman.

The three arrived at the luxurious carriage.

A moment later, Madam Ye gracefully stepped out of the luxurious carriage. Upon hearing Qi Dao explain his purpose, she smiled and said, "Since the three of you wish to leave, I will not try to stop you."

Qi Dao clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I apologize for disturbing you these past few days, Madam."

Madam Ye glanced at Qi Dao and said, "You child, you're acting like a little adult."

"Alright, I won't see you off. But if you'd like to visit the Nine Heart Begonia family sometime, you're welcome anytime."

After the Qi family left, the middle-aged woman leading the group stepped forward and said, "Madam, you seem to have high hopes for this child?"

Madam Ye nodded and said, "This child is young, yet he was able to kill three Fallen Soul Masters in a row. His talent must be extraordinary."

"Moreover, I see that he is a very opinionated person with an extraordinary demeanor, and his future achievements are likely to be quite remarkable."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman showed a look of confusion on her face.

"Madam, since you speak so highly of him, why not recruit him into the Nine Heart Begonia family?"

Madam Ye shook her head and said, "This family of three is clearly just ordinary Soul Masters, yet this child named Qi Dao can easily take out 50,000 gold Soul Coins and give them away without even blinking an eye."

"Such a person is unlikely to be swayed by ordinary interests."

"The Nine Heart Begonia family is not weak, but there are quite a few forces on the continent that are stronger than the Nine Heart Begonia family."

"I doubt this child will submit to ordinary forces. In that case, why should I bother making a fool of myself?"

"It would be better to extend a friendly gesture beforehand and establish a good relationship."

After listening, the middle-aged woman exclaimed admiringly, "Madam, you truly have keen insight!"

Mrs. Ye smiled casually and returned to the carriage.

"Alright, let's head back home!"

On the other side, after leaving the Nine Heart Begonia family caravan, Qi Dao's family immediately found a hotel in the city to settle down temporarily.

After quickly packing up, Qi Dao went alone to the address where Dean Hans's friend was located.

Dean Hans's good friend is named Melo, who comes from a small family. He and Dean Hans studied at the same advanced soul master academy in their early years and had a very good relationship.

After arriving at Mero's residence, Qi Dao took out Dean Hans's letter of introduction.

Soon, he was led to a living room and saw the friend that Dean Hans had mentioned.

Count Merlot looked to be in his late forties or early fifties, with a slightly thin build, but full of energy.

"Greetings, Earl!"

Qi Dao stepped forward and bowed slightly.

Upon seeing Qi Dao, Melo's face softened with a friendly smile, and he waved his hand.

"Don't be shy!"

"You must be Qi Dao from Hans' letter. How's that guy doing lately? Is he feeling alright?"

Qi Dao replied with a smile, "The dean is in good health and asked me to give him my regards."

Melo sighed, "Hans is too stubborn. I invited him to stay with me in Tiandou City, but he insisted on going to a small place like Notting City."

"I never imagined that almost thirty years would have passed in the blink of an eye."

The two then chatted briefly about everyday matters.

Perhaps because of Hans, Messi treated Zidane like a younger member of his own family.

Qi Dao later learned that Dean Hans and Mero were very close during their school days. They not only lived in the same dormitory, but also got into fights together and even visited brothels together.

Even after graduation, we kept in touch by letter.

Perhaps it is precisely because there are not many self-interests involved that the two have maintained a pure friendship to this day.

Even though one was just a minor Soul Master, the other had already become a Soul Emperor.

After chatting for a while, Melo said to Qi, "I already know about your situation. The Crown Prince is indeed a good choice, not only because he is respectful to scholars, but more importantly, he is the future Emperor of Tiandou. Following him is a good way out for you."

Although among the remaining princes of Emperor Xueye, besides Xue Qinghe, there is also Xue Beng.

But it's clear to anyone with eyes that the avalanche is not a significant event and poses no threat to Xue Qinghe's position.

"I will introduce you to His Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow. You can go back and wait for my news."

After listening, Qi Dao respectfully replied, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Earl."

Count Merlo waved his hand casually.

This was nothing more than a trivial matter to him, and if Qi Dao really had the talent Hans described, then his help to him now was an investment in advance.

Day two.

After receiving the message from Mero, Qi Dao went to the Crown Prince's residence.

And he met Xue Qinghe, the current Crown Prince of Tiandou.

Xue Qinghe sat in a pavilion, and Qi Dao's first impression of him was that he was well-mannered and gentle, with an innate aristocratic air about him.

To be honest, if Qi Dao hadn't already known her true identity, he probably wouldn't have guessed that her identity was actually a disguise.

When Qi Dao was led to the pavilion, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but put down his teacup and look up.

His gaze swept over Qi Dao, his eyes warm yet with a hint of scrutiny.

A moment later, he stood up and greeted them with a smile.

"You must be Qi Dao, whom Count Merlo introduced?"

"He is indeed a handsome and talented man!"
