Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 116 Nana is being targeted

"Is Father able to stand up now?"

When he learned that the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire had stood up, Crown Prince Xu Tianran remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was cursing. It was only a matter of time before the current emperor was bedridden and had only a few years left to live. Once the current emperor died, he could ascend the throne normally.

As a result, the emperor suddenly recovered enough to stand up. When Xu Tianran thought about his father's age and how long he could have sat on that throne if he were healthy, his heart sank.

"Yes, Your Highness, after His Majesty the Emperor learned that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had defeated Shrek Academy, His Majesty stood up excitedly." The intelligence officer under Crown Prince Xu Tianran knelt on one knee and reported to him.

"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy defeated Shrek Academy? Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy won?" Xu Tianran couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, Your Highness, this is the first time in history that we have defeated Shrek Academy."

"Good, good, good. Master Mingde and the students have worked hard. Thanks to their victory over Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Empire can now have double joy."

Xu Tianran smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. Defeating Shrek Academy was certainly a good thing, but in his father's time, this victory was something that had nothing to do with him. Not only did the credit not go to him, but his father also stood up because of this. This was almost like stacking up all the unfavorable buffs for him.

As the crown prince, the longer the current emperor sits on the throne, the more disadvantageous it will be for him. The condition of his legs means that if the situation drags on, something bad is likely to happen.

Moreover, as long as he remains the crown prince, his brothers will automatically make eliminating him their first choice. After all, unless something happens to him midway, he will automatically become the new emperor the moment the emperor dies. As the fixed heir apparent, as long as he is alive when the emperor dies, he will inevitably inherit the throne.

He would become the target of his brothers' attacks, and given enough time, his legs and infertility would inevitably lead some of his men to have other ideas.

While the Sun Moon Empire's victory over Shrek Academy was indeed a good thing for the Sun Moon Empire, it was a completely bad thing for Xu Tianran personally.

"Tell the members of this competition that they are the pride of the empire, and that I will personally visit them later to offer my congratulations."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The intelligence officer in charge of reporting quickly retreated. After he left, Crown Prince Xu Tianran gripped the wheelchair tightly, crushing the armrest.

"Your Highness, now that His Majesty has risen up, I'm afraid some of the people you recruited before might have ulterior motives," said Shadow Elder, a Title Douluo, appearing beside Xu Tianran with some concern.

"Hmph! Anyone who dares to have disloyal intentions will have their entire family executed. I'd like to see who dares to oppose me at this time," Xu Tianran said with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Yes."

Elder Ying nodded. After waiting for a long time, he only heard Xu Tianran say that those who betrayed him would die, but he didn't hear Xu Tianran say what benefits there were in continuing to follow him at this time. Elder Ying asked, "Your Highness, I need to deal with those who dared to betray you. Does Your Highness have any other orders?"

"That's all, thank you for your hard work, Elder Ying."

Shadow Elder: "..."

"It is my honor to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. It is not hard work for me. I will take my leave now."

After Elder Ying left, Xu Tianran rubbed his head. The emperor's condition had improved, which was a very important thing for him. However, he was capable of doing anything except patricide.

If he dares to set a precedent for patricide, then when he gets a little older, he'll have to start worrying about whether his son will kill him.

Especially that son, given the current situation, he might not even be his own.

Having gone to such lengths to benefit someone else's child, Xu Tianran felt he wouldn't be able to die in peace.

"Why did we have to win at this exact moment? Even five years later would have been better!"

Judging from the emperor's current condition, he will be close to being buried in his coffin in about five years. By then, he may have already seized real power, and many things will be set in stone.

However, he is still far from having enough power. Unless Jing Hongchen, the master of Mingde Hall, stands on his side, it is impossible for him to have overwhelming power over his other brothers.

"Master Mingde..."

Xu Tianran pushed his wheelchair to a table with the latest intelligence on Jing Hongchen. He tried to find Jing Hongchen's weakness through this intelligence and then win Jing Hongchen over to his team.

After observing for a long time, he still couldn't find any weaknesses in Jing Hongchen, but he did see some things that interested him.

"Jing Hongchen's disciple, a mere fifteen-year-old child, defeated Shrek Academy's Soul Emperor!"

Xu Tianran was shocked by Xiao Qiang's message, and then began to consider whether he could win over Jing Hongchen to his side by winning over Xiao Qiang.

…………

"So this is the Silver Dragon Staff."

After returning to the capital and being summoned by the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, just as Jing Hongchen had expected, the Emperor's additional reward was to retrieve a level nine soul tool from the royal treasury.

Following Jing Hongchen's advice, Xiao Qiang took the Silver Dragon Staff.

As soul power was inputted, Xiao Qiang could feel a significant improvement in his control over the elements.

Furthermore, when Xiao Qiang truly sensed a power within the Silver Dragon Staff that he did not possess within his Soul Ring, he was certain that it was the power of the control element that he had not yet mastered.

Xiao Qiang's fifth soul ring skills are Elemental Control and Mental Chaos. Elemental Control has seven elements: light, darkness, ice, fire, earth, wind, and lightning.

Compared to Gu Yuena's control of the seven elements in Douluo Continent III, Xiao Qiang's elemental control has one more element, lightning, but lacks one element, space. However, with this Silver Dragon Staff, Xiao Qiang quickly made up for this shortcoming of lacking space.

Using mental detection to confirm the location, Xiao Qiang then used his spatial abilities to create a spatial wormhole between himself and the location he had located. He took a step out and arrived at the location he had located using mental detection.

"Not bad, it's definitely a good thing. I just don't know how durable it is," Xiao Qiang said, holding the Silver Dragon Staff.

"What do you care if it's sturdy or not? Are you planning to hit someone on the head with that staff?"

"As expected of Brother Tianmeng, he easily thought of what I was thinking."

"That's right, don't you know who I am? There's nothing I can't think of or do."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, Brother Tianmeng. Now it's up to you to comprehend the spatial power within this staff and create a small space."

"well?"

"Although this matter is indeed very difficult, and even ordinary Title Douluos might not be able to do it, how can a mere Title Douluo compare to Brother Tianmeng?"

"What you said is true, but..."

"Your brother does all the work, so what are you going to do?"

"Me? I'll take care of getting you to level 60 in the next few days."

"What? I leveled up to level 60 in the last few days? How did I do that?"

"The feedback from killing the evil spirit master with the angelic martial spirit."

"Do you know where there are evil spirit masters?"

"I don't know, but someone does."

Inside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Nana suddenly sneezed. "Did you catch a cold?"
