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

As one of the two top cities on the mainland, Tiandou City is extremely prosperous, and its commercial areas are filled with a dazzling array of goods.

Because of the wide variety of martial souls in Douluo Continent, some martial souls may be quite useless in combat, but they have great commercial value.

These special martial souls are more capable of making money than some high-level soul masters.

Of course, no matter how much money they make with their martial spirits, they still need to seek the protection of some top-tier forces.

This is one of the reasons why those Soul Master sects on the mainland, despite not engaging in production, still possess profound foundations and abundant wealth.

Qi Dao accompanied Dugu Yan as they strolled through the various high-end shopping malls of Tiandou City. After one trip, they ended up spending nearly a thousand gold soul coins on miscellaneous items.

Dugu Yan only bought a few pieces of clothing and some jewelry.

This inflation is really serious!

An ordinary family might not even use a thousand gold soul coins in their entire life.

"Senior, your family is really rich!" Qi Dao exclaimed on the way.

It should be noted that this thousand gold soul coins were merely Dugu Yan's daily expenses.

Dugu Yan waved her hand and said, "Our family's herbal medicine business is very famous in Tiandou. Although we don't do volume, the quality is extremely high. This amount of gold soul coins is just a small amount of money."

Qi Dao thought for a moment. The medicinal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye grow extremely fast. Even excluding the immortal herbs that Dugu Bo did not recognize, the other herbs are still extremely precious.

And Dugu Bo is an expert in this field, so how could he be short of money?

As the two walked and talked, just as the sun was setting and they were about to return to the academy, a commotion arose in the distance, and a crowd of people gathered around.

"What happened?"

Qi Dao and Dugu Yan looked toward the source of the commotion.

After a moment, Dugu Yan said, "It must be some spoiled brat causing trouble again, relying on the glory of his ancestors."

"As the capital of the empire, if you throw a brick in Tiandou City, you could hit a whole bunch of spoiled brats."

Qi Dao immediately pulled Dugu Yan towards the crowd.

"Let's go see whose insects these are!"

A moment later, Qi Dao and Dugu Yan walked into the crowd.

Seeing the two people's demeanor and attire, the onlookers instinctively made way for them.

Qi Dao and Dugu Yan immediately saw the scene in the center of the crowd.

On one side were three young men dressed in fine clothes, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with slicked-back hair and powdered faces, and arrogant expressions.

On the other side was a young couple, dressed simply. Although they were not from the lower class, they were just ordinary people.

Among the young couple, the man was lying on the ground with bruises all over his face and several footprints on his body, groaning softly.

The young girl next to him looked pretty, but her eyes were red and swollen. She squatted down beside him, looking pleadingly at the three arrogant young men opposite her.

"avalanche!"

Looking at the arrogant young man in the center, Dugu Yan frowned slightly.

Qi Dao was drawn to her voice and looked over.

The original novel mentions that Xue Beng, fearing that Xue Qinghe would harm him, disguised himself as a playboy and kept up the act until Xue Qinghe's true identity was exposed, ultimately gaining the throne for free.

As for how to make his playboy image fool Xue Qinghe?

It was a natural performance!

So, the eating, drinking, and having fun are real, as is the bullying of men and women.

The three avalanche members also saw Dugu Yan and Qi Dao.

The moment Xue Beng saw Dugu Yan, his scalp tingled, and he instinctively took a step back.

His uncle, Prince Xuexing, had once helped Dugu Bo and had some connection with him.

Prince Xuexing told him that if he still wanted to compete with Xue Qinghe for the throne, the best thing he could do was to marry Dugu Yan.

As Dugu Bo's only granddaughter, Dugu Yan holds a very high position in Dugu Bo's heart. Once he marries her, he will surely receive Dugu Bo's full support.

Although Dugu Bo's strength was only at the bottom among the titled Douluo, his poison skills were able to influence the course of war and were extremely intimidating.

Therefore, as long as Dugu Bo's support is obtained, even if Xue Qinghe is a disciple of Ning Fengzhi, he may still be able to compete with him.

But Xue Beng was a notorious playboy, and Dugu Yan hated him too much to even think about it.

So after the avalanche exposed his intentions, he was poisoned so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for a month.

It was after that experience that Xue Beng never dared to have any illusions about Dugu Yan again, and even if they met her on the way, they would give her a wide berth.

However, when he saw Qi Dao beside Dugu Yan this time, his brows furrowed slightly.

This was his first meeting with Qi Dao, but it didn't mean he didn't know Qi Dao.

Everyone now knows that Tiandou Academy has a true genius who is invincible in the Great Soul Arena and has never been defeated so far.

Of course, what Xue Beng cared about more was Qi Dao's identity.

Qi Dao is one of his "good second brother's" people!

He was also a lowly person.

If it weren't for Xue Qinghe's backing, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter Tiandou Academy.

But this lowly commoner possessed unimaginable talent.

It is conceivable that in another twenty or thirty years, he will inevitably become Xue Qinghe's right-hand man.

Thinking of this, Xue Beng felt a surge of envy and jealousy towards Xue Qinghe.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Beng forced a smile.

"Dugu, I never expected to meet you here. What a coincidence!"

Dugu Yan retorted without any politeness, "Don't tell me you're my classmate. I'd be ashamed to be classmates with a spoiled brat like you who bullies men and women."

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng's expression immediately froze.

He is, after all, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. How could Dugu Yan embarrass him in front of so many people?

Upon seeing this, the young couple, one squatting and one lying on the ground, had a glimmer of hope in their eyes and couldn't help but look for help.

However, Xue Beng's face quickly returned to a smile. He looked at Dugu Yan and said with a smile, "Dugu, I think you misunderstood. I just wanted to invite that lady to have a simple meal. I just didn't expect that the lowly person next to her would dare to stop me."

"You know who I am. The fact that I haven't beaten him to death in the street is already the greatest favor I can do for him!"

Dugu Yan's face grew increasingly cold. Just as she was about to speak, Qi Dao calmly said, "Senior, why waste your breath on such a creature?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng frowned and rebuked him.

"I'm talking to classmate Dugu, how dare you, a lowly person, interrupt?"

He already harbored resentment towards Qi Dao because Qi Dao was one of Xue Qinghe's men, and now he naturally seized the opportunity to vent his anger.

Although Qi Dao was highly talented, he was ultimately just Xue Qinghe's subordinate, and ultimately just a servant.

In the eyes of avalanche, class is above all else.

You're not even an aristocrat, so what gives you the right to talk to me as an equal?

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's expression suddenly turned cold, and a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.

But before she could make a move, Qi Dao was faster than her.

He stepped forward instantly and slapped him across the face to prevent him from begging for mercy.

Then fists rained down like raindrops.

After a while, Qi Dao finally stopped what he was doing.

The avalanche collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, its face covered in blood and gore, unable to utter a sound even as it convulsed in pain.

Because Qi Dao's first slap shattered his jawbone, along with seven or eight teeth.

As for the other two richly dressed playboys, they were so frightened by the scene that their legs were trembling like leaves, and their crotches were already soaked.

A look of disdain appeared on Dugu Yan's face. Instantly, her martial spirit manifested, and she lightly raised her hand.

Two streams of poison gas immediately shot into the bodies of the two men.

Under Dugu Yan's control, these two streams of poisonous gas would not directly kill the two people, but they would leave them paralyzed in bed for one or two months.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into enthusiastic cheers.
