Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

Watching Ning Fengzhi and Xiao Yan gradually disappear into the distance, Xiao Wu patted Ning Rongrong on the shoulder: "Rongrong, what is this Martial Soul Pill that your father just mentioned?"

Turning around, Ning Rongrong saw curious expressions on everyone's faces except for Zhu Zhuqing's.

"Hmm..." After hesitating for a moment, Ning Rongrong spoke, "It's a kind of pill that Xiao Yan refined, a pill that has a high probability of promoting the evolution of martial souls..."

"Soul evolution?!" Tang San exclaimed in surprise.

"Keep your voice down, the audience is starting to leave," Zhu Zhuqing frowned and reminded them.

"Yes, yes..." Tang San smiled awkwardly, his brows furrowing inwardly, but he dared not say anything more. After all, it was his fault this time, and most importantly, Zhu Zhuqing, who was at level 47, was not someone he could defeat.

"Did Xiao Yan put the Martial Soul Pill he refined up for auction?" Tang San asked, lowering his voice.

"After confirming that I couldn't take it, I handed over my share to His Majesty Bilin to be auctioned off," Zhu Zhuqing explained calmly.

"Xiao Yan said that there is an unknown herb in the Martial Soul Pill that looks like a tulip. It seems that the herb is only effective for treasure-type Martial Souls and beast-type Martial Souls. In the academy, only Zhu Qing and I can take it," Ning Rongrong explained.

'Qiluo Tulip?' Tang San frowned, recalling the peculiar scent he smelled when Dugu Bo distributed Soul Master Pills. 'Is it like this?'

Upon hearing about the tulip, Tang San knew that the spirit evolution of this spirit pill had nothing to do with him, but he still couldn't help but ask a question, afraid that others would believe Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's words.

“I can understand treasure-type martial souls,” Oscar said, rubbing his chin with his right hand. “What do you mean by beast-type martial souls? Doesn’t Fatty’s Evil Fire Phoenix count?”

Ma Hongjun was also somewhat curious.

"I don't know," Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "If you're interested, you can ask Xiao Yan directly when he comes back."

"Uh... well, then..." Tang San chuckled dryly.

“Remember to let me know when Xiao Yan comes back,” Oscar nodded. “I’m still a little interested in beast-type martial souls.”

“Me too.” Ma Hongjun nodded.

The substitutes, Jingling, Huang Yuan, and even Jiangzhu, nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go together." Tang San quickly changed his mind, but the smile on his face was hard to maintain.

the other side

"Is the recipient of the Martial Soul Pill the Crown Prince?" Xiao Yan asked after the Shrek Academy group was out of sight.

"You're quite perceptive," Ning Fengzhi nodded in approval.

“After all, everyone knows that you are the Crown Prince’s teacher,” Xiao Yan said calmly. “When you were talking to Rongrong just now, you also mentioned the surname ‘Xue’. It can’t be that Third Prince Xue Beng, can it?”

“Indeed,” Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, “However, one of the three Soul Master Pills was taken by His Highness Xue Beng.”

"Are you saying that Prince Xuexing and the Third Prince are preparing to retaliate against the Crown Prince?" Xiao Yan was speechless.

"You said it yourself, it has nothing to do with me," Ning Fengzhi said with a casual smile.

And so, Ning Fengzhi led Xiao Yan to an antique-style teahouse. The teahouse didn't look very big, with only three floors. At this time, there were only two or three customers in the teahouse, making it very quiet.

The two arrived at the innermost private room on the second floor. After pushing aside the screen, Ning Fengzhi led Xiao Yan inside.

"Uncle Ning, you've arrived." Upon hearing their voices, the young man stood up and bowed respectfully to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly: "Qinghe, how many times have I told you, you don't need to do this."

The young man laughed: "That won't do..."

'Crown Prince? Princess?'

Upon seeing the young man, Xiao Yan lowered his eyelids. He didn't know why this crown prince was dressed as a woman, nor did he intend to find out. In any case, the Heaven Dou royal family had nothing to do with him.

"Let me introduce you. This is Xiao Yan, and this is His Highness the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile after exchanging pleasantries with Xue Qinghe.

"So it's Your Highness the Crown Prince. Xiao Yan greets you." Xiao Yan said calmly, bowing slightly.

Xue Qinghe sighed, "If Uncle Ning hadn't told me, I would have found it hard to believe that you are only eleven years old... If you don't mind, just call me Brother Xue, and there's no need to mention the title of Crown Prince anymore."

If Xiao Yan hadn't known that this "crown prince" was actually a woman, he might have been amazed by her enormous belly.

With Ning Fengzhi acting as the mediator, the conversation between the three was very comfortable, until a certain moment—

"Brother Xiao Yan, I heard that you were the one who refined the Soul Master Pill?" Xue Qinghe asked, looking at Xiao Yan.

"A person can only take one in their lifetime. After taking the second one, their path to becoming a Soul Master will come to an end. No matter how hard they try afterward, their Soul Power will not make any progress," Xiao Yan said calmly after taking a sip of tea, without answering Xue Qinghe's question.

"Even the Nine Heart Begonia family couldn't detect it at all."

He said nothing, but to Xue Qinghe, who knew that the Golden Iron Triangle had recently fought a fierce battle in the Nine Heart Begonia family, it was as if everything was explained.

“These are two Soul Master Pills,” Xiao Yan said, taking out a jade bottle from his Awakening Flame Ring. “With your level 46 Soul Power, Brother Xue, you might be able to take two.” He placed the jade bottle on the table and pushed it toward Xue Qinghe.

"Then... thank you very much, Brother Xiao Yan," Xue Qinghe said with a smile, putting the jade bottle into his soul tool.

"I don't know how to repay this debt for now, so I'll give you this token for now. If you need anything in the future, just take it to the palace to find me." Xue Qinghe took out a gold token from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yan with a smile.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yan accepted the gold medal and put it into his Awakening Flame Ring.

Afterwards, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi personally escorted Xiao Yan to the entrance of the teahouse, and then watched him leave.

"Teacher, do you think I'm too heartless?" Xue Qinghe suddenly asked, watching Xiao Yan walk away.

“If you want to become emperor, this step is necessary,” Ning Fengzhi said calmly.

"Yes, disciple understands." Xue Qinghe nodded.

"Let's call it a day."

"Yes!"

At Xue Qinghe's command, all the "guests" in the teahouse stood up and responded respectfully.

Chapter 109 The impending showdown

Two days later, all the Soul Master academies had completed the first round of preliminary rounds.

Among the twenty-eight teams, two teams left a deep impression on all the viewers. The first was Xiao Yan, who took the stage in the first round. However, since Xiao Yan only showed his spirit rings and did not make a move, most viewers believed that even though they were both Soul Kings, Xiao Yan was no match for Lin Dong, who had instantly killed the seven people from Zi Xing Academy.

Of course, this is just the audience's opinion. For the Five Elements Academy, both Shrek Academy with Xiao Yan and Canghui Academy with Lin Dong are unprecedented formidable opponents. If nothing unexpected happens, two of the five spots in this preliminary round have already been secured.

Why didn't Xiao Yan participate?

On the arena, Hu Yanli, who was facing off against the students of Shrek Academy, frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"A few of us are enough to deal with you."

Tang San smiled faintly, but his tightly clenched right fist proved that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

It's no wonder he was upset. When the audience realized that Shrek Academy hadn't arranged for Xiao Yan to play this time, they were already booing. Some gamblers who had bet on Shrek Academy started cursing, and those foul words had already made Tang San furious.

Now that he's on stage, his opponent completely disregards him, and the first thing they ask him is why Xiao Yan didn't go on stage...

The fact that Tang San didn't directly utter a curse was already a result of extreme restraint.

"...I hope so."

Hu Yanli's gaze swept over the Shrek Academy students who came on stage. He noticed that Xiao Yan had been replaced by a cold-faced black-haired girl, and the girl with a healing-type martial soul had also been replaced by a boy with peach blossom eyes. Hu Yanli frowned slightly.

'It's a pity, I was hoping to show Xiao Yan the improved soul power explosion from our Elephant Armor Academy.'

"Xiao Yan didn't play... This means Shrek Academy might lose." Feng Xiaotian shrugged from the stands.

"That's good. After losing a match, Xiao Yan won't dare to underestimate us anymore." Huo Wushuang was quite happy.

“Indeed, it would be a great pity if we couldn’t use the trump card we left for Xiao Yan.” Shui Bing’er was also in a good mood.

"Have you prepared a big gift for Xiao Yan?"

Lin Dong looked at the team leaders of the Five Elements Academy with some curiosity. In the past two days, with Xiao Yan's help, he had gotten along quite well with these team leaders.

"That's right!"

"Use the techniques he taught us!"

"I'll definitely make him suffer a great loss!"

Each person said a sentence, and all the team leaders had bright smiles on their faces.

"It seems that without that Soul King, Shrek Academy is no match for them." In the VIP section, Hu Yanzhen looked down at Shrek Academy, which seemed to have been completely defeated, with a smile.

Even if he wanted to refute, looking at the seven Soul Masters on the arena who were being defeated head-on by the seven members of Elephant Armor Academy under the "control" of that Blue Silver Grass Soul Master, Emperor Xueye really couldn't give any effective counterattack.

"Seven Soul Masters! How could they be defeated so easily?" Emperor Xueye was somewhat annoyed. When the competition started, he was still mocking Huyan Zhen, but he did not expect that the team of seven Soul Masters could be defeated so easily by Elephant Armor Academy, which had three Soul Masters and four Soul Venerables.

'As expected, a useless disciple is also useless!' Emperor Xueye's gaze fell on Tang San. He naturally knew that the teacher of this Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was Yu Xiaogang, who had been thrown into prison.

'Even if it's a mutated Blue Silver Grass, it's still just Blue Silver Grass...' Ning Fengzhi's gaze fell on Tang San's Blue Silver Grass with some golden patterns, his eyes cold.

"Holy crap! They turned the tables?! What's up with that woman?!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing single-handedly crush the Elephant Armor Academy team and send everyone flying on the arena, the team leaders of the Five Elements Academy were somewhat unsettled.

"Looks like the gift you left for Xiao Yan isn't working well." Lin Dong chuckled—it would have been even better if Little Marten hadn't caused any trouble.

'That thing looks exactly like a Dark Holy Tiger!!!'

"Didn't you say the Dark Sacred Tiger was extinct long ago? You've never even seen one, so how can you call it the Dark Sacred Tiger?" Lin Dong was speechless. After a tiger-shaped phantom with a pair of black and white giant wings appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's body, this is what Little Marten looked like.

'It's recorded in ancient books!'

"That's just a record!" Lin Dong rolled his eyes. "Besides, didn't Xiao Yan say before that the Dark Sacred Tiger of Douluo Continent passed on its bloodline before it died?"

'Ah, it seems so…'

Under Zhu Zhuqing's outburst, all the students of Elephant Armor Academy were sent off the stage. Hu Yanli, the only one who had room to resist, was sent off the stage while he was struggling with whether to use his soul bone, and had no choice but to accept the fact of defeat.

Although Zhu Zhuqing saved the day in this match, they still won in the end. Even though this victory did not salvage Tang San's reputation at all, and because his initial control led to the complete collapse of Shrek Academy, he was called a "soft-footed control soul master" by the public.

Upon learning of this extremely insulting title, Tang San was initially enraged, but managed to control his emotions with the encouragement of his teachers.

Of course, he only appeared to have controlled his emotions. In the subsequent preliminary rounds, Tang San launched a fierce attack on all his opponents. As a result, after ten rounds of the preliminary rounds, apart from Elephant Armor Academy, no academy could withstand Shrek Academy for even a minute.

Thus, after the tenth round of the preliminary rounds, Shrek Academy, Canghui Academy, Chihuo Academy, Tianshui Academy, Shenfeng Academy, and Leiting Academy tied for first place with a record of ten wins in ten battles. In second place was Elephant Armor Academy, which only lost to Shrek Academy once.

In the eleventh round, Shrek Academy's opponent is Blazing Fire Academy—

"Don't worry, we'll definitely give them a big one this time!"

The students of Blazing Fire Academy, who had received the most individual guidance from Xiao Yan, were full of confidence. They knew they couldn't beat Xiao Yan, but Shrek Academy, where Xiao Yan wasn't present, would be no match for them!
