Chapter 545 The Return of Heavenly Battle
As Xue Qinghe spoke, he bowed slightly in greeting.
All the proper etiquette has been observed, and the appropriate attitude has been shown. All actions and demeanor are meticulous and flawless.
This is Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of Tiandou, a refined and easy-going, humble and benevolent heir apparent.
Looking at the gentle and easy-going Crown Prince of Tiandou, Ye Qifeng was stunned for a moment. His superb acting skills were truly impeccable. If he didn't know that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise, he would probably have been fooled.
It should be noted that Qian Renxue's personality is domineering and arrogant, which is completely different from the gentle temperament she is showing now.
However, she perfectly grasped the benevolent nature of the Crown Prince Tiandou.
No wonder Xiao Xue'er was able to thrive in the political arena of the Heavenly Dou Empire, yet no one could uncover her true identity.
Ye Qifeng gently shook his head, dispelling the chaotic thoughts that surfaced in his mind. Just like Qian Renxue, he casually withdrew his hand and stopped the operation of the Two Elements Heavenly Technique, no longer converting the soul power in his body into innate yang energy for output.
Looking at Qian Renxue, whose eyes held a hint of lingering affection and whose gaze unconsciously fell on his right hand, he smiled and said:
"Alright, then let's have a drink and chat with His Highness the Crown Prince another day."
…………
Not long after.
Ye Qifeng bid farewell to Qian Renxue and returned to the carriage.
Led by Platinum Bishop Salas and a group of cardinals, the group then entered the city and headed for the Heavenly Dou Temple located in the central urban area of Heavenly Dou City.
Salas and the cardinals all had their own private carriages, and even brought a large number of the Templar Knights of the Heavenly Dou Temple to welcome Ye Qifeng. However, due to the interference of the Heavenly Dou Crown Prince, they could not use them and were left in the city.
Qian Renxue did not leave in advance, but stood there watching Ye Qifeng's carriage pass through the tall city gate and enter Tiandou City.
Her gaze was indifferent, and her face seemed expressionless, but the slight curve of her lips revealed that she was in a very good mood at the moment.
Once the last rider in Ye Qifeng's group had completely disappeared from sight, a magnificent carriage emerged from the tall and long city gate passage and finally came to a slow stop in front of Qian Renxue.
In the driver's seat sat an elderly man with a slender, upright, and sharp posture, and a golden snake pattern adorning his brow.
This carriage is the personal carriage of the Crown Prince of Tiandou.
The old man driving the carriage was She Long, the Title Douluo who protected Qian Renxue and assisted her in carrying out her plan to seize the country.
Thanks to the celestial herbs gifted by Ye Qifeng, She Long, who was only a level 92 Title Douluo a few years ago, has broken through the limitations of his own talent and has now grown into a level 95 Super Douluo.
As his soul power level increased, She Long's lifespan also increased significantly, and he looked much younger, transforming from a weathered old man in his seventies into a vigorous middle-aged or elderly man in his fifties or sixties.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Once the carriage had come to a stop, She Long jumped off and bowed respectfully.
Since they were outside and there were many people around, She Long usually wouldn't address Qian Renxue as "Young Master" to avoid revealing her true identity.
"Yes, let's return to the palace."
Qian Renxue withdrew her gaze, said nothing more, and simply nodded slightly. Then, she lightly stepped onto the ground and gracefully boarded the carriage. She lifted the curtain and slipped inside.
"Yes, Your Highness."
She Long played the roles of guard and follower extremely well.
He then voluntarily took over the cleanup work for the Crown Prince:
"Fall back. Restore order at the city gates."
The first sentence was addressed to the Royal Knights on both sides of the road, while the second sentence was addressed to the city commander who had been waiting on the city wall.
Upon receiving the order, the city's commander hurriedly dispatched troops to take over the city's defenses from the Royal Knights.
The Royal Knights quickly finished their march and began their journey from outside the city, detouring through the north gate, back to their camp in the northern part of Tiandou City.
After the prince's carriage and the Royal Knights had left, the tall main gate, located in the center below the city wall, slowly closed, while the side gates, which were for the general public, reopened and were quickly reopened under the protection of the city guards.
…………
The scale of Tiandou City can only be described as magnificent. All the streets are paved with blue bricks, and each street is extremely wide enough to accommodate three carriages traveling side by side, and the ride is extremely smooth.
The carriage travels on it without worrying about any bumps or jolting.
Upon entering Tiandou City, the bustling crowds, the hawkers' cries, and the ubiquitous shops displaying a dazzling array of goods all showcased the prosperity and vitality of this imperial city.
The girls in the carriage were all drawn to the bustling and lively scene outside, and they all crowded to the windows to look out curiously.
Even Raven, who had lived in the city for nine years and later traveled almost the entire city with Nightshade, was no exception.
Only Ye Qifeng gazed at the bustling and lively street, gradually falling into deep thought.
As the head of the empire and the capital of the country, the prosperity of Tiandou City was foreseeable, but the situation was quite different when looking at the entire Tiandou Empire.
The prosperity of big cities is merely a facade, maintaining only the prestige of the imperial nobility. The only beneficiaries are the high-ranking nobles; the benefits never reach the common people.
Commoners are often exploited and leeched by nobles, and all that is left for them is poverty and backwardness. Even if they live in dire straits, no one will see it.
This once mighty empire, after thousands of years, is now old and declining.
The nobles remained as wealthy as ever, or even wealthier, while the common people remained as poor as ever, or even poorer.
This is the injustice of the world.
Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about it. These were not things he should consider, nor did he have the grand ambition to save the world and all living beings.
His arrival in this world was an accident, and all he wanted to do was protect what he wanted to protect, nothing more.
As for the fate of the Heavenly Dou Empire, he didn't care, since it would eventually cease to exist anyway.
Besides, times are changing and people are progressing. One day, this situation will eventually change, so why should he worry about it? He doesn't have that much on his mind.
…………
The people inside the carriage looked out with curiosity, and the people outside looked back at the people inside the carriage with the same curiosity.
The long convoy of cars drove along the wide streets, attracting the attention of countless people.
Ye Qifeng's group already numbered over two hundred, making the procession quite long. Now, with the addition of Salas and his entourage of cardinals and Templar Knights, the already lengthy procession became even longer.
The convoy practically took up the entire street, making it impossible for them to go unnoticed.
However, after seeing the emblem on the carriage composed of six unique spirit symbols representing the Spirit Hall, and the Holy Emperor Warriors and Holy Templar Knights guarding both sides of the convoy with powerful auras, none of the onlookers dared to approach or cause trouble.
Among the crowd watching the spectacle, two familiar figures unexpectedly appeared. When one of them noticed a beautiful figure appearing in the window of the carriage where the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall was, his face darkened almost instantly.
It didn't take long.
The news of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall visiting Heaven Dou City spread like wildfire and quickly reached the entire city.
Even the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, located more than 20 kilometers away from Heavenly Dou City, quickly received the news.
…………
Heavenly Dou Royal Academy
Tang San returned here not long ago.
After the father and son failed to ambush Ye Qifeng and his group and were scared away, Tang San was quickly brought back by Tang Hao.
Tang San's return naturally alarmed all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy.
After exchanging pleasantries, in order to gain a more direct understanding of Tang San's strength after Tang Hao's special training, the master asked his nephew Yu Tianheng to test Tang San and have a soul-fighting spar with him.
Yu Tianheng is the designated young sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He has excellent talent and the support of the entire clan, so he has all the necessary cultivation resources. His cultivation speed is also quite good. He is now a level 43 Soul Master, the one with the highest Soul Power among the Shrek Seven Devils.
As for strength...
With Tang San's return, the Shrek Seven Devils were finally reunited. Naturally, Yu Tianheng had to step down and relinquish his position as the strongest member of the Shrek Seven Devils to Tang San.
Without the aid of rare medicinal herbs, but with the unlimited supply of Soul Master resources from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the current cultivation levels of the Shrek Seven Devils are roughly as follows.
—Yu Tianheng, level 43 Soul Master; Dai Mubai, level 42 Soul Master; Oscar, level 38 Soul Venerable; Tang San, level 42 Soul Master; Ma Hongjun, level 38 Soul Venerable; Xiao Wu, level 39 Soul Venerable; Ning Rongrong, level 37 Soul Venerable.
At this moment.
In the courtyard where the Shrek Academy students live.
Teachers Flander, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, Qin Ming, Shao Xin, Lu Qibin, and Li Yusong, as well as Oscar, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, the students of the Shrek Seven Devils, were all present.
As for Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, these two frequent patrons of brothels, they naturally went to listen to music there.
They were staring intently at the two people locked in fierce combat in the open space in the center of the courtyard.
At this moment, Yu Tianheng, who had already been possessed by a martial spirit, swelled up and grew much taller. His sleeves burst and turned to ashes due to the expansion of his arms.
As its two arms grew by more than half a foot, they also became larger and thicker, covered with dense blue-purple scales. Its hands also transformed into a pair of dragon claws, and the blue-purple electric snakes coiling around its body constantly condensed or flowed within its arms and dragon claws.
This is the dragon transformation effect of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul.
Starting from level 30, every time a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master obtains a Soul Ring, a new dragon-transformation area will appear on their body when the Martial Soul is attached.
Before level 30 to 40, Yu Tianheng could only transform his right arm into a dragon. After obtaining his fourth soul ring, his left arm also transformed into a dragon.
The four standard soul rings—two yellow and two purple—did not coil around the body like other soul masters, but rather coiled around the two dragon-transformed arms.
They would sometimes move to the left arm, sometimes to the right arm, constantly changing positions as Yu Tianheng attacked, unleashing powerful attacks.
Opposite Yu Tianheng, Tang San gripped a dark iron hammer tightly in his left hand, striking it repeatedly to block Yu Tianheng's dragon claw attacks.
Tang San did not use his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
Against a power-type, offensive Soul Master like Yu Tianheng, the fragile Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has limited control and can hardly restrain him; at most, it can only be used as a means of interference and restriction.
In addition, Yu Tianheng is a Beast Martial Soul Master.
Beast Soul Masters are inherently much stronger than Weapon Soul Masters, and they become even stronger after their Soul is attached to them.
Moreover, Yu Tianheng can also transform into a dragon.
His hands, now transformed into dragons, possessed power and attack strength that increased almost exponentially. Even after undergoing special training in the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, which greatly enhanced his physical attributes, Tang San dared not rashly confront him head-on.
If you only use your Blue Silver Grass martial soul to fight it, without using hidden weapons, you will have almost no offensive power.
But this is just a friendly sparring match requested by the teacher, so we can't use hidden weapons that can kill invisibly.
After much deliberation, Tang San finally decided to use his second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, to fight against Yu Tianheng.
Moreover, he also wanted to test the power of the Clear Sky Hammer combined with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, and also see how much his strength had improved after his father's special training.
Clang clang clang—
The sound of metal clashing was incessant.
Tang San and Yu Tianheng moved swiftly and agilely in the open space in the middle of the courtyard, attacking and defending against each other.
With the powerful strength, attack power, and defense granted by his beast spirit-possessed body, Yu Tianheng's attacks were wide-ranging and powerful, each strike a thunderous blow.
Tang San, relying on the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique taught by Tang Hao, frantically spun and swung his Clear Sky Hammer to deal with Yu Tianheng's dragon claw attacks.
As their power gradually increased, each strike of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique became stronger than the last. Tang San gradually gained the upper hand from being at a disadvantage, and in turn, he suppressed Yu Tianheng.
Just as Tang San and Yu Tianheng were locked in a fierce battle, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was also watching their fight intently.
However, with only the level 29 Great Soul Master realm, he couldn't understand their skill usage at all, and couldn't even feel the specific flow of soul power in their bodies during the battle. Only when they clashed could he barely catch the violently erupting soul power fluctuations.
He could only get a rough idea of Tang San's strength by listening to the comments from Flander, Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, and others.
A few minutes later.
boom--
With a loud bang, Yu Tianheng's body was suddenly sent flying backward, his feet sliding more than ten meters across the stone-paved ground before finally coming to a stop.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and were surprised to see that Yu Tianheng had transformed into a dragon claw. His hands, which were covered with blue-purple scales, were now covered with cracks, and blood was clearly flowing from them.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Yu Tianheng looked down at his hands, which were trembling uncontrollably from the intense pain, and was equally surprised.
Tang San's hammer blow was incredibly powerful. If my defense hadn't been strong enough, my hands would probably be ruined.
