Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 107 The Embarrassing Master and Disciple

"Welcome, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xue Qinghe, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe with a jade belt adorned with pigeon-blood rubies at his waist, appeared as gentle and refined as jade amidst a group of Soul Masters in academy uniforms.

"There's no need for formalities among the three education commissioners. We've only come to check on the new Royal Fighting Team. After all, the Royal Fighting Team represents the Heavenly Fighting Royal Family."

After exchanging nods and pleasantries with the three education commissioners, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin, he walked towards the neatly lined-up Royal Fighting Team.

He greeted everyone one by one, his face displaying just the right amount of gentleness.

Yu Tianheng is now a level 43 Soul Master and is still the captain of the new Royal Fighting Team.

As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, he merely nodded slightly in response.

Dai Mubai is now level 41 and the vice captain of the new Royal Fighting Team.

He stood slightly to the side, looking at Xue Qinghe with a hint of envy in his wicked eyes.

As a prince of the Star Dou Empire, he envied Xue Qinghe, who could become the crown prince without having to fight to the death.

The rest of the members of the new Royal Fighting Team remain largely unchanged, with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling being replaced by Dai Mubai and Oscar, respectively.

They greeted Xue Qinghe excitedly, for he was the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the future Emperor!

As for Ma Hongjun, he did not become a member of the Royal Fighting Team.

Half a year has passed and he is only level 29. Let alone entering the Royal Fighting Team 1, if it weren't for Flander's connections, he would have a hard time even entering the Royal Fighting Team 2.

Xiao Wu could have joined the Royal Fighting Team with her talent, but she declared that she would not join the Royal Fighting Team if Tang San did not become a member.

Although Tang San successfully reattached his right leg with the help of Yu Xiaogang, it took half a year for his soul power to recover to level 25.

With a soul power of level 25, you can't even get into the Royal Fighting Team 2.

Therefore, he and Xiao Wu were just ordinary students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and had no right to meet the Crown Prince.

"With three education commissioners and many talented individuals here, what worries do we have about the prosperity of the Heavenly Dou Empire?"

Xue Qinghe's voice was clear and melodious, carrying the unique nobility of royalty, yet it did not make people feel distant.

However, his attention was not actually on the three education committee members or the new royal fighting team.

Instead, it was a man in the crowd whose face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

"Is that Tang San? Twelve years old and level twenty-five, he may be considered a genius, but he's still far from being a true genius!"

Xue Qinghe felt disappointed; the sense of antagonism he had felt earlier had completely dissipated.

He was unwilling to stay any longer and prepared to go to Soto City to see the real monster.

Just then, a commotion arose from the outside of the crowd.

Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Xiao Wu squeezed their way out of the crowd, their faces showing undisguised eagerness.

"Your Highness, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is being unfair! My talented disciple is being suppressed and can't even get into the Royal Dou Second Team! I beg Your Highness to uphold justice for my disciple!"

This vehement accusation was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly silencing the entire audience.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Xiaogang and his two companions.

Meng Shenji frowned slightly, and the fingers hidden in his sleeve tightened slightly.

Yu Xiaogang's words were clearly a slap in the face to him and to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy in front of everyone.

But with the Crown Prince present, he could only suppress his anger.

"Mr. Yu Xiaogang, this is an occasion to welcome the Crown Prince. Please refrain from making noise. If you have any objections, we will explain them to you later."

Bai Baoshan and Zhilin exchanged a glance, while the members of the Royal Fighting Team looked on with disdain.

Yu Xiaogang's outburst has completely offended everyone at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Yu Tianheng, Yu Xiaogang's nephew, turned ashen-faced instantly.

He stepped forward and explained to the crowd.

"Uncle Yu Xiaogang, don't take our kindness for granted! The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has already done more than enough by taking you and your master in. Don't make false accusations here. Can't we talk about this in private?"

However, Yu Xiaogang was completely ungrateful and instead tried to morally blackmail Yu Tianheng.

"Tianheng, you still know I'm your uncle, and instead of helping me, you're aiding and abetting the evildoer!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the onlookers.

They pointed and whispered among themselves at Yu Tianheng and the others from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and the whispers spread like a plague.

"Even my own uncle is saying this, could it be that there's something fishy going on at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?!" "If it's true, that's terrifying!"

"If the rumors are true, when will we commoner soul masters ever have a chance to rise above our circumstances!"

Yu Tianheng's eyes widened, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and lightning flickered around him.

He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound.

It wasn't his imposing presence that intimidated me, but rather Yu Xiaogang's ability to distort the truth that made my throat tighten with anger.

Osro, standing in the queue, sneered and stepped forward, his leopard eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

"Yu Xiaogang, you're talking nonsense!"

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was piercing: "If it weren't for the sake of the captain and Teacher Qin Ming, would someone like you, stuck at level twenty-nine at your age, even deserve to step into the gates of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"you……"

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to bring up Tang San to refute, Oslo's voice came again.

"As for your disciple Tang San, I don't deny that he is a genius. But he is only level 25 right now."

He glanced at Tang San with disdain. "Level 25 soul power? He can't even reach the threshold of the Royal Fighting Team 2. It's because he's not strong enough, so how come you call it suppression? The Royal Fighting Team is ruled by the most capable, don't you understand?"

Oslow's words resonated deeply, drawing nods of agreement from the onlookers.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is the top academy of the Heavenly Dou Empire, with numerous geniuses, so naturally, the capable rise and the mediocre fall.

Even if Tang San has high talent, he can't be considered a capable person if he doesn't realize it.

The onlookers immediately turned their attention to criticizing Yu Xiaogang.

At this moment, in their eyes, Yu Xiaogang was an incompetent and shameless person who wanted to rely on connections to get Tang San into the Royal Fighting Team.

Now, this exceptional master and disciple pair is known not only to the people of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but also, presumably, to the entire Heaven Dou City soon.

Yu Xiaogang's face twitched, and under the mocking gazes of the crowd, his usually serious face changed color from blue to purple.

"How dare you look down on my teacher! You are courting death!"

A sharp killing intent flashed in Tang San's eyes as he glanced at Osro and the mocking onlookers.

He stepped forward, glaring angrily at the Royal Fighting Team members.

“My soul power is indeed inferior to yours, but didn’t you say that the Royal Fighting Team is ruled by the most capable? Then I want to challenge the members of your Royal Fighting Team. If I win, can I become a member of the Royal Fighting Team One, or even the captain!”

The entire venue fell silent, everyone stunned by Tang San's declaration.

They couldn't understand where a level 25 Soul Master got his confidence.

"Hahaha!" Oslo laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Challenge us? Kid, have you forgotten the rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament?"

He lightly tapped his temple with his fingertip and said mockingly, "All means other than martial spirits and soul skills are prohibited. Your low-class hidden weapons won't work here!"

Tang San's face instantly darkened. His most relied-upon hidden weapon had been directly sealed, like an eagle with broken wings.

He subconsciously touched the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at his waist, where his confidence was hidden, but now it had become a useless decoration.

"Don't be afraid, mistress!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly grabbed Tang San's shoulders and shook him violently, "You have three soul skills and your combat experience far exceeds that of your peers. You will definitely be able to defeat the Royal Fighting Team."

He lowered his voice and roared in Tang San's ear, "It doesn't matter if we expose our second spirit, this time we must prove ourselves in front of the Crown Prince! The stronger you are, the more... the more important we will be!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed with eagerness, a mixture of a teacher's expectations and his desire for fame.

Xue Qinghe took it all in, his smile remaining gentle, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

"This crazy woman actually chose such a good-for-nothing? Honestly, what is it about this utterly nonsensical good-for-nothing that attracts her?"

She had been holding back her anger, and this was the perfect opportunity to thoroughly humiliate the man Bibi Dong valued.

"Since this young friend is so confident, then let's grant it."

Xue Qinghe raised his hand to stop Oslo, who was about to erupt, his voice still calm and gentle.

"As Oslo said, only martial souls and soul skills are allowed; no external aids are permitted." He looked at Tang San with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "The one who defeats the Royal Fighting Team will take their place. Young friend, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Tang San, instigated by Yu Xiaogang, was enraged when he saw the contemptuous faces of the Royal Fighting Team members.

"I dare!"
