I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 71: Tremors in the Haotian Sect, the Enemy Must Be Slayed Personally

"Good!"

"Then I'll trust you this time."

Prince Xue Xing excitedly said, "As long as Qin Xiao is dealt with, our future is still promising!"

A cold smile appeared on Xue Beng's lips: "Hehe, I am also very much looking forward to seeing the expression on Xue Qinghe's face when he finds out that the person he tried to win over has been annihilated by the Haotian Sect."

Hearing this, Prince Xue Xing also burst into laughter: "Hahaha, it must be quite spectacular."

However.

In the next moment, their laughter abruptly stopped.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has sent a royal decree."

Outside, the voice of Xue Xing's personal guard came.

"Let them in."

Prince Xue Xing's face suddenly turned grim.

After a while.

Xue Xing slowly closed the royal decree in his hand.

His face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

"Royal Uncle, what did Father say?"

Xue Beng asked cautiously.

Xue Xing replied irritably, "What else could it be, but the matter from before. I failed to successfully recruit Qin Xiao, and he has revoked my authority over the management of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Academy. From now on, the Academy will be solely under the control of the Crown Prince."

"What? Father acted so quickly?"

"Then the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Family Academy will become Xue Qinghe's backyard, won't it?"

"If we want to recruit outstanding soul masters from there again, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

A look of disbelief appeared on Xue Beng's face.

At the same time, he also realized that the future would be even more challenging.

After all, soul masters are the real foundation at any time.

"Yes."

Prince Xue Xing sighed and then said, "It seems that the situation of the Imperial Brother is even worse, clearing the path for Xue Qinghe to ascend the throne."

"Royal Uncle, why don't we show the evidence we've collected over the years to Father? Let him know that it was Xue Qinghe who killed his other sons." Xue Beng came up with an idea.

"Hehe, do you think your father would believe it?"

Hearing Xue Beng's words, Xue Xing's heart did not fluctuate, and he even felt like laughing, "Besides, even if he believes it, what can be done about it?"

"What do you mean?"

"I need to remind you that the late Emperor, your grandfather, my father, had more than just me and your father as sons. But what about now?"

Hearing this, Xue Beng's pupils shrank suddenly, feeling a chill down his spine, "So what you mean is..."

"I just want to tell you not to be too naive. The competition in the royal family is cruel. It's normal for some to die in the struggle for the throne. As long as someone ends up sitting on it, that's enough."

Prince Xue Xing looked meaningfully at Xue Beng as he spoke gravely.

Hiss.

Xue Beng couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

He then realized that reality was even more cruel than he had imagined.

"Go down, you just need to spread the news quickly. But remember, don't let anyone know that you're the one spreading it, to avoid bringing disaster upon yourself."

"I also need to extract the foundation I've laid in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Academy over the years. I can't let it all go to waste for Xue Qinghe's benefit."

After giving his instructions, Xue Xing waved his hand.

Xue Beng nodded and left.

At night.

"My lady, have you gone to bed?"

Outside Tang Yuehua's door in Yue Xuan, a voice inquired.

Hearing this, Tang Yuehua, sitting at the table, frowned slightly. She recognized the voice as the steward of Yue Xuan.

"Come in."

She responded indifferently.

Creak.

The next moment, the steward in purple clothes gently pushed open the door and walked in.

Tang Yuehua asked indifferently, "What matters do you have that need to see me now?"

"There are two important matters."

The steward in purple said, "The young man named Qin Xiao who Prince Xue Qinghe hosted a banquet for the other day is a member of the Shrek Academy."

"I see. Rumor has it that there are hidden powerhouses in the Shrek Academy, so Qin Xiao must have a special relationship with one of them. Otherwise, why would Xue Qinghe lower himself as the Crown Prince to win him over?"

Tang Yuehua suddenly understood.

"What about the second matter?"

She asked immediately.

Upon hearing this, the steward's face also showed a hint of difficulty. "The second matter is also related to Qin Xiao. It is rumored that on the night when Titan died, his grandson Tyrone had a dispute with someone, and that person was Qin Xiao."

"So, it's very likely that the destruction of the Power Clan is related to Qin Xiao!" Tang Yuehua's face showed a look of shock.

In fact, Yue Xuan had also been investigating this matter and unexpectedly received news so soon.

Suddenly, Tang Yuehua noticed that the steward's expression was very wrong.

Her lips slightly parted, "Is there something else you haven't said?"

The steward spoke with some difficulty: "Madam, you may not know, but the outside world is now spreading rumors that it was Qin Xiao who killed Titan and his family."

"What? How is that possible?"

Tang Yuehua was initially shocked, then quickly shook her head, "Titan was a powerful Soul Douluo, a rare strong person in the Douluo Continent. How old is Qin Xiao?
Even if he's a genius, at best he's just a Soul Sect, right? Even if he's a Soul King, he can't be Titan's opponent.

Let alone Titan, even his son Tyrone is not someone Qin Xiao could defeat. Moreover, someone has already examined Titan's wound; he only had one wound on his entire body, which indicates he was killed instantly."

The steward said with a wry smile: "Madam, I think so too, but that's what everyone outside is saying."

Tang Yuehua frowned, "You have been managing Yue Xuan for a year or two now, and you should have your own judgment. Don't just follow what others say."

"Yes."

After hearing Tang Yuehua's words, the steward subtly wiped the sweat from his cheek.

"Go down, and send a message to the sect that Titan's death may be related to Qin Xiao, and behind Qin Xiao, there might be a powerful Soul Douluo who is highly regarded by the Tian Dou Empire."

"As for whether it was that strong person who killed Titan, we cannot investigate. We can only ask the powerful members of our sect to take action."

Tang Yuehua instructed.

"Understood." The steward quickly left after hearing Tang Yuehua's words.

In the mountains and ranges.

This place, hundreds of miles away from Tian Dou City, is neither too far nor too close.

But few in the world know that the once number one sect in the world is hidden here.

At this moment, in an imposing and majestic ancient castle, five elders dressed in magnificent clothes gathered together, each sitting on large stone chairs.

"Second Brother, why did you call us here so early in the morning?"

The seventh elder of the Haotian Sect, sitting at the last position, asked the figure at the head of the table.

"Old Seven, when can you change your impetuous character? You're in your forties, and a titled Douluo level powerhouse. Can't you be more mature and steady?"

The third elder, sitting next to him, frowned and said sternly.

"Hehe, Third Brother, you know me, I'm just impatient by nature, an old habit that I can't change in this lifetime."

The seventh elder was not annoyed by the remark, but rather awkwardly scratched his head.

The other elders shook their heads upon seeing this.

Obviously, they were helpless with their youngest brother.

At this time, the second elder spoke solemnly, "I just received the news that a person related to the destruction of the Power Clan has appeared."

What!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately fell silent, with only heavy breathing sounds heard.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

After a moment of silence, the hot-tempered seventh elder couldn't help himself, "Second Brother, don't keep us in suspense. Attacking them is like slapping the Haotian Sect in the face, right?

Who dared to do it, I'll go and annihilate them right now."

As he spoke, the seventh elder became so emotional that he stood up from his seat, waving his fist vigorously.

The fourth elder frowned, "Old Seven, calm down. Can you not be as rash as a child?
Besides, the message from Tang Yuehua already stated that Titan was killed in one strike. Are you sure you can handle such a strong person?"

This.
The seventh elder's expression suddenly stiffened. He knew in his heart that he couldn't kill Titan instantly.

Immediately, he felt like he had been doused with cold water.

"Fourth Brother."

"I won't say anything more."

The seventh elder weakly said and awkwardly sat back down.

"I'm sure everyone wants to know who this person is, so I won't beat around the bush anymore."

"This person is named Qin Xiao, a teenager in his teens."

"But behind him, there might be a powerful titled Douluo

, and it is this mysterious strong person who is the true culprit behind Titan's death."

The second elder succinctly narrated the latest news, then glanced over everyone and asked lightly, "Now, who is willing to go to Tian Dou City to thoroughly investigate this matter based on this clue?"

As his voice fell, the seventh elder immediately responded.

"Second Brother, I am willing to go."

The seventh elder stood up again.

"Second Brother, I am also willing to go."

The fourth elder, who had previously reprimanded the seventh elder, spoke.

"Second Brother, me too."

The fifth elder next to him also spoke up.

Then everyone eagerly looked at the second elder, waiting for his reply.

After a brief silence, the second elder finally made a decision, "Third Brother, you have a steady character and the second-highest strength next to me. Go with the seventh brother.

The two of you together, even a level 95 titled Douluo can fight. Only then can I rest assured."

Hearing this, the third elder also stood up, bowed to the second elder with a fist, and uttered a word, "Good."

The second elder nodded and didn't forget to remind, "One more thing, remember that your own safety is the most important. If the opponent is too strong, you can retreat back to the sect."

If it can cause considerable pressure on the sect, then it's best to try and minimize the issue. After all, our Haotian Sect is already in a precarious state and can't withstand any more blows.

After all, we even abandoned Tang Hao while he was alive, let alone Titan who is already dead."

The third and seventh elders nodded simultaneously, "Big brother, I understand."

The second elder waved his hand, "Set off immediately."

This.
Why does it feel so strange?

The third and seventh elders exchanged a glance, instantly understanding the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

But after all, the second brother is the second brother, not just older, but also the most authoritative in the absence of the sect leader.
No.

No matter whether the sect leader is present or not, he is the one in charge, and they as younger brothers, cannot refute.

Tian Dou City.

Lanba Academy.

When Qin Xiao stepped out of his room, the first person he saw was Zhu Zhuqing standing outside.

Her attire today wasn't much different from usual.

But Qin Xiao still noticed that her clothes had changed from a round neck to a V-neck.

Hehe, has the silly girl grown up and started to use little tricks? Qin Xiao chuckled inwardly.

But he didn't say anything.

After all, knowing but not revealing, everyone still remains good friends.

"Your Highness, you're out."

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be lost in thought and reacted several beats slower, looking a bit belated.

"Why aren't you training with Zhao Wuji this morning?"

Qin Xiao asked in confusion.

Usually, Zhu Zhuqing would start her Thunderclap Tempering in the afternoon.

"Because today is a special day, Teacher Zhao told me to come find you directly."

Zhu Zhuqing said, her pretty face blooming with a beautiful smile, like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg.

What's with that grin? Qin Xiao wondered.

But the next moment, he involuntarily raised his eyebrows.

Because the fluctuation of soul power from Zhu Zhuqing surprised him.

"Eh, you actually broke through to level 30?"

Qin Xiao was surprised: "Normally, you would need a few more days to break through, right?"

Indeed, with the help of Thunderclap Tempering, Zhu Zhuqing had broken through four levels of soul power in such a short time, reaching level 30.

Of course, the improvement in strength wasn't unfounded; Zhu Zhuqing had also endured tremendous pain.

To put it simply, her efforts were heartbreaking.

But when Qin Xiao was training her, he never went easy.

He knew that being lenient was harming Zhu Zhuqing.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was still uncontrollably happy, "Hehe, indeed it would have taken a few more days, but after I returned from your place yesterday, I suddenly had an epiphany, and unknowingly broke through."

"I see."

Qin Xiao nodded, "It seems that you are not only hardworking but also quite lucky."

"Of course, being favored by Your Highness is the greatest honor of my life," Zhu Zhuqing said blissfully.

In contrast, after hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Qin Xiao couldn't help but shake his head with a smile: "This little mouth is like it's smeared with honey. Did Zhao Wuji also say to let me help you hunt for a soul ring?"

"Um, Teacher Zhao did say that," Zhu Zhuqing admitted, somewhat embarrassedly fiddling with her clothes.

Qin Xiao said, "That's nothing. I was planning to go to the Sunset Forest to see if there are any crops in the garden and if Dugu Bo has been pilfering."

However.

Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Zhu Zhuqing showed a face full of surprise: "Your Highness means you're growing crops in the forest where soul beasts roam?

And it sounds like Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is looking after them?"

But isn't Dugu Bo a distinguished guest at the Prince's estate?

This was very far-fetched.

Meanwhile.

The Shrek crew had already assembled.

Simply put, it was Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar who gathered together.

"Teacher, why didn't Zhuqing come today?"

Dai Mubai asked in confusion.

He could understand Ning Rongrong's absence, as she was the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and Dai Mubai was clear that she was not to be provoked.

So he could only keep an eye on Zhu Zhuqing. Of course, just watching.

"Zhu Zhuqing broke through to level 30 and went to hunt for a soul ring."

"Today, only the three of you will train."

Zhao Wuji said indifferently.

"Oh, level 30."

"Going to hunt for a soul, huh."

Dai Mubai and the others nodded their heads, not paying

much attention at first.

But the next moment, they suddenly realized.

"Wait!"

"Teacher Zhao, you said Zhu Zhuqing is level 30 and going to hunt for a soul ring?"

"How old is she to reach level 30?"

"And more importantly, she was only level 26 when she enrolled, right? It hasn't been that long, has it? How is she level 30 already?"

The three of them looked shocked and incredulous.

They knew about Zhu Zhuqing's talent, arguably the worst among the Shrek crew.

But this speed of strength improvement, wasn't it too fast?
It felt unreal!
