Douluo Continent: I have the Heaven-Piercing Tyrannosaurus Beast

Chapter 41 The Attention of the Heaven Dou Royal Family

In the empty Heavenly Dou Palace, Emperor Xueye sat high above, coughing incessantly, prompting a maidservant to anxiously offer him tea and a handkerchief.

"It's alright, it's alright. You've been taking care of me for so long, you know it's an old problem."

Starting three years ago, Emperor Xueye's health began to decline steadily, leaving even the imperial physicians at a loss as to what was causing his illness.

Left with no other choice, he invited one of the top healing-type soul masters in the entire continent to treat him. His body had almost recovered, but as soon as the other party left, his chronic illness reappeared.

He opened the envelope that had been flown in overnight, and his previously furrowed brows relaxed.

Hahahaha.

"What makes Your Majesty so happy?" Since the Second Prince met with misfortune four years ago, the maidservant who served Emperor Xueye had not seen him laugh so heartily for a long time.

"Of course there is good news. Qinghe has rendered meritorious service to the Empire this time. Do you know Master Yanxiao? Oh no, no, he doesn't like people calling him Master anymore."

"I have lived in the palace for many years and have heard a little about him, but I do not know what makes him so formidable."

"This Yan Xiao accepted the funding from Tian Dou, so he can be considered half a Tian Dou person. As for his strength, it lies in his ability to speak clearly."

The Blue Silver Grass, a notoriously undesirable martial spirit, has been given a new lease on life under his argument. Recently, among the new soldiers in our palace, there are also Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters.

As for the issue of spirit ring ratio that he mentioned, if it weren't for the presence of a Title Douluo by his side, he would definitely be a genius in the theoretical field.

In fact, any battle spirit master who has passed level 70 and possesses a true spirit body knows that the spirit skills in the early stages are basically useless. Everyone understands the importance of timing, so who would use their first or second spirit skills, which have little power, when fighting to the death? However, this is a principle that no spirit master on the continent has ever put forward in the past few hundred years.

Because of their own selfish motives, they would never say that no one wanted later titled Douluo or other powerful figures to be stronger than themselves, even though they only used their first two soul skills when they were just playing tricks.

Most importantly, Master Yan Xiao pointed out that the root of a Soul Master is not the Soul Skills granted by Soul Rings of a certain age, but the Martial Soul that one relies on for trust.

The maid stood to the side, listening intently. When the Emperor spoke with great emotion, she cast a curious glance at him and nodded when he paused slightly.

Those who can survive in the palace are mostly people who are good at reading people's expressions and moods.

"By the way, where is Qinghe? I haven't seen him in the palace these past few days. He usually comes to pay his respects to me."

"His Highness said he wants to obtain his own spirit ring with the assistance of the Spirit Hall."

"Alright, you say this kid doesn't have much talent for cultivation, yet a couple of years ago he caught the eye of a deacon from the Spirit Hall and was taken in as a disciple. That's really strange."

"That is naturally Heaven's blessing upon Tian Dou, bestowing blessings upon Your Majesty and your descendants."

"Is it truly a blessing?" Emperor Xueye murmured, looking up at the boundless starry sky through the palace dome.

"Step back, let me have some peace and quiet."

"Yes."

"Wait a minute. Qinghe said that the reason he knew about Yanxiao was because his maid had been corresponding with Yanxiao. Yanxiao often gave her advice. When you have time, invite Qinghe's maid over alone. I want to reward her well."

Seeing that the maid in front of him was in a daze and had not yet paid attention to him, Emperor Xueye waved his hand: "Never mind, never mind. Qinghe does not like others interfering with his attendant maids. I suppose you are not familiar with her either."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maidservant, facing the snowy night on the throne, slowly withdrew from the palace gate and closed it.

There was something she hesitated to say for a long time, because Crown Prince Xue Qinghe never had any maids by his side.

……

"To be honest, Grandpa Li, was the stage this big when the master gave his lecture in Nottingham last time?" Xiao Yan waited beside the old man, looking at the stage that the workers were setting up, and couldn't help but feel a competitive spirit.

As Yan Xiao's representative, the task of setting up Yan Xiao's podium was naturally handed over to Old Man Li. The old man took a puff of welding smoke, and the breath he exhaled blew up his white beard. He said leisurely, "How could that be? The commotion you've caused this time has even caught the attention of the Heaven Dou Royal Family. Do you think our City Lord Xiao will let this go so easily?"

In the past, Yu Xiaogang's lectures were simply held in the lecture hall of Notting College, and were given to the students of the college and some nobles of Notting City with some status.

Xiao Yan's platform at this moment was intended for the entire population of Notting City. It was not uncommon for people from all over the continent who admired the master's knowledge to come here to listen to his teachings.

"When the stage is finally built, how do you plan to go on stage and explain your theories?" Old Li asked curiously.

"Tang San will stand on the platform in my place. Anyway, I know what's going on, and the mistress basically knows as well."

"And I'll be backstage then. If the mistress has any questions she can't answer, I'll offer guidance."

"You're certainly credible, Tang San. They're even spreading rumors that he's Yan Xiao's disciple. But you don't plan to show your face. Are you just going to keep playing with everyone like this?"

"How can it be considered playing around? It's just saying goodbye to Notting City. After this, Yan Xiao will also fade out of the Soul Master world." Xiao Yan hadn't really thought about his next move yet, but since the Heaven Dou Royal Family was on good terms with him, he wondered if they could help him and Tang San get student status at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

In the world of Soul Masters, making money and discussing Dao are secondary; cultivating Soul Power and having a strong fist are the true principles.

"You're planning to leave here?" Old Man Li looked shocked, then calmly replied, "That's true. The lessons at the elementary academy are useless to you, and they don't provide a good simulated environment for your cultivation. You're really a little monster; you're already a Great Soul Master at only ten years old."

"Luckily." Xiao Yan smiled. If the soul power required for the Rolling Ball Beast to upgrade was far greater than that of ordinary people, he might have already become a Soul Master.

"So where do you plan to go next? Skip the intermediate Soul Master academy and go straight for higher levels?"

"Well, it's not impossible." Having lived the life of a corporate slave in his previous life, Xiao Yan naturally cherished his time on campus.

"If there is any emergency on the day of the lecture, we will have to trouble Grandpa Li to step in."

The old man didn't respond, but closed his eyes and pointed to a number 5 towards Xiao Yan.

"Five bottles of imperial liquor, no problem."

"It's fifty."

"Old Li, you..."

"One hundred bottles." Old Li, with an air of complete control, slowly changed the number he was pointing to from 5 to 1.

"Fine, fifty it is," Xiao Yan said through gritted teeth.

"Everyone knows you're a wicked lad, what good can come of having me get involved?" Old Man Li saw through Xiao Yan quite well.

"Hopefully nothing goes wrong."
