He turned his head, looked at the avalanche on the ground, its head bleeding profusely, looking like it might faint at any moment, and coldly uttered a single word:
"roll."
The avalanche was like a pardon.
He didn't speak again, nor did he utter any more harsh words. He just gave Xuan Hao a deep look, his eyes filled with resentment and scheming.
Then, supported by Prince Xuexing's attendants, he staggered to his feet, not even bothering to wipe the blood from his face, and fled the hotel lobby as if escaping.
Prince Xuexing glared at Xue Qinghe one last time before turning and leaving.
The farce has finally come to an end.
"call……"
Seeing that the eyesore had finally disappeared, Xuan Hao then restrained his aura, and the gold in his eyes completely faded.
He turned around, looked at Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi who hadn't said a word, and his harmless smile returned to his face.
"I apologize for the embarrassing incident involving Your Highness the Crown Prince and Sect Leader Ning."
Xuan Hao cupped his hands in greeting, "The child is a bit immature and has a short temper. I hope he didn't frighten you two?"
Xue Qinghe: "..."
Ning Fengzhi: "..."
The two exchanged a glance, and their lips twitched simultaneously.
Are children too young to understand?
You call this being ignorant? You've really created a huge mess!
"Young man... you are indeed a man of strong character."
Ning Fengzhi chuckled twice, breaking the awkward silence, "What happened today, although somewhat...excessive, can be considered as Xue Fan's own fault."
"but……"
Ning Fengzhi changed the subject, "Young brother, with such talent and such skills, may I ask where you learned your master? Are your elders still in Tiandou City?"
"Me?" Xuan Hao blinked, looking completely innocent. "I'm just a homeless vagrant, taking my sister around to make a living."
"As for learning from elders..."
Xuan Hao sighed, his face filled with melancholy:
"I've gotten into big trouble. My older sister is furious. I have no choice but to come out and hide for a while."
"Alright, Na'er, let's go."
Xuan Hao didn't give Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe a chance to continue questioning him. After casually tossing out that ambiguous statement, he took Na'er's hand and swaggered out of the hotel, quickly disappearing into the bustling crowd.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, the once bustling lobby fell into an eerie silence.
Ning Fengzhi withdrew his gaze, looked at Xue Qinghe beside him with his brows furrowed, and sighed softly: "Qinghe, today's matter... is probably going to be a bit troublesome."
"Teacher is referring to Father Emperor, right?" Xue Qinghe smiled bitterly and rubbed his throbbing temples. "No matter how useless the fourth prince is, he is still a prince. Today, kneeling and kowtowing in public is not only a disgrace to him, but also a complete loss of face for the royal family."
"If Father finds out, he will be furious. I was there but did not stop it, and even let the perpetrator leave... I can't escape this scolding."
A beating is just youthful spirit, a friendly sparring match between soul masters.
Kneeling down and kowtowing is to trample on dignity and insult the national system.
The two are completely different in nature.
“But this is already the best outcome.” Ning Fengzhi’s eyes gleamed with wisdom as he gently tapped the ground with his scepter. “Qinghe, your restraint just now was the right thing to do. If you had acted impulsively and actually let the Imperial Guards take action, or let Uncle Jian forcibly detain you… the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
"Teacher, are you referring to... that boy's background?" Xue Qinghe asked.
"That boy named Xuan Hao was too calm from beginning to end."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his voice low and deep, "Faced with Dugu Bo's threat, he showed no fear; faced with the power of the royal family, he regarded it as nothing. This kind of confidence cannot be faked."
Ning Fengzhi nodded and continued, "That's right. The most terrifying thing on this continent is not our three upper sects, not the Spirit Hall, and not the two great empires, but those reclusive madmen."
"Just like Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo back then."
Mentioning this name made the expressions of the people present become more serious.
"Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose."
Ning Fengzhi analyzed, "Those of us who are in the public eye always have to be mindful of our actions. We have to consider our sect, our country, and our reputation. But those reclusive powerhouses are different. They have no ties. If you really anger them, even the imperial palace is just a place they can come and go as they please."
"That boy is not even ten years old and he has such cultivation. He probably comes from a reclusive family. Perhaps, his family even has a titled Douluo who lives in seclusion."
"An army may be able to stop thousands of troops, but it cannot stop a titled Douluo who has gone mad."
"If we were to risk the reputation of a spoiled prince and invite a titled Douluo like Tang Hao, who would disregard all consequences, into the Heaven Dou Empire's fold..."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Xue Qinghe and said earnestly:
"That would be unwise."
"Compared to the wrath of a titled Douluo hidden in the shadows, what does losing face and being scolded by His Majesty matter?"
Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and bowed to Ning Fengzhi, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I understand now. I will explain the situation to my father when I return."
"Hmm." Ning Fengzhi nodded with relief. "Don't worry too much. Although His Majesty values his reputation, he is also the ruler of a country and can distinguish between what is important and what is urgent. As long as we exaggerate the young man's talent and background a little, His Majesty will understand."
"Alright, let's go."
Chapter 40 Let You Use Your Hands and Feet
……
Heavenly Dou Royal Academy
This luxurious academy, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, occupying an entire mountain, is more like a huge aristocratic estate than a school.
The avenue paved with white marble, the neatly trimmed green plants, and the exquisite sculptures everywhere all showcase the grandeur and luxury of the imperial court.
After taking Na'er out for a meal, Xuan Hao led her away from Tian Dou City and headed towards the Tian Dou Royal Academy outside the city.
Now that Dugu Bo has made his move, even though he hasn't actually taken action, it has given him a reason to act.
If Dugu Bo wanted to bully him, then of course he had to bully Dugu Yan in return!
If Dugu Yan is bullied, that old bastard Dugu Bo will definitely come knocking again, but after what happened today, he certainly won't dare to act rashly. Even if he does, Ghost will be there to protect him.
If Dugu Bo dares to secretly come to his door, he dares to kidnap Dugu Yan!
"stop!"
Several boys dressed in pale yellow school uniforms, who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, blocked Xuan Hao and Na'er's path.
They sized up the two seemingly aristocratic "children," one tall and one short. Although intimidated by their aura, their innate sense of superiority as students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy still made them raise their chins.
"This is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Who are you kids? This is not a place for you to play house. Get out of here right now!"
Xuan Hao stopped in his tracks, not angry, but instead gave a polite smile:
"Hello, seniors. I heard that a new genius has joined our college named Yu Tianheng. I'd like to see him."
"Yu Tianheng?"
The leading youth paused for a moment, then a hint of awe flashed in his eyes. "You mean that one from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
Although Yu Tianheng had only been enrolled for a few days, he was truly a formidable force.
He is not only a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects, but is also hailed as the most promising genius of this generation to inherit the position of sect leader.
On his very first day, he beat up several senior students who wanted to intimidate him, leaving them bruised and battered. Even the three academic committee members of the college looked up to him.
"Why are you looking for him?" the boy asked warily.
“Oh, I also play with dragons.” Xuan Hao blinked, his sky-blue eyes were crystal clear. “I heard that his martial soul is the number one beast martial soul in the world. I admire him very much and would like to have a spar with him…”
"puff--"
Several teenagers couldn't help but burst out laughing.
just you?
A little kid who looks like he hasn't even been weaned yet wants to spar with Yu Tianheng? And he's playing with dragons? He's probably playing with loaches.
"Alright, alright, stop causing trouble here. Yu Tianheng should be at the Tianwei-level training ground right now." The boy waved his hand impatiently. "But he doesn't have time to deal with a little brat like you."
Thanks.
Xuan Hao ignored their mockery, grabbed Na'er, and swaggered in the direction the boy pointed.
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan should be together.
It would be too deliberate for him to go directly to Dugu Yan, but it would be less deliberate to go directly to Yu Tianheng.
After all, he also possesses a dragon-type martial soul. Isn't it normal for him to be interested in this so-called number one beast martial soul in the world?
Isn't it perfectly normal to want to have a friendly competition?
Moreover, he has to be arrogant!
The more arrogant he is, the less people know about him! And the less they dare to provoke him!
If he acts arrogantly for a moment and then suddenly backs down, lacking the follow-up strength, then he's finished.
After defeating Avalanche yesterday, he made Avalanche kneel down and apologize this morning, and then came to Tiandou Royal Academy this afternoon to cause trouble.
Without a powerful background and absolute confidence, who would dare to do this?
……
Tianwei-level training ground.
This place is specifically designed for freshmen whose soul power is below level 25. Although the level is not high, the facilities are top-notch.
At this moment, the arena was surrounded by students watching the excitement.
"boom--!"
With a loud bang, a beam of blue-purple lightning shot into the sky, blasting the opponent off the stage.
"I appreciate your concession."
On the stage, a tall and slender young man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit withdrew his right hand. He had short black hair, sharp eyes, and lingering lightning crackled around him, making him look incredibly imposing.
