Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spirit Ball, Come Out, Haki Dance!

Chapter 120 Recruiting

Shui Bing'er and the others tried to resist, but found that the deadly poison in their bodies prevented them from gathering enough soul power, and they could only watch helplessly as the three claw-like beams attacked.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After three loud bangs, all seven members of the Tianshui Academy team were struck by the claw energy, their bodies flying backward and crashing heavily onto the arena, unable to get up again, completely losing their ability to fight.

The referee immediately rushed over, assessed the situation of both teams, then raised his arm and loudly announced, "Blue Tyrant Academy Team wins!"

He turned around and walked to Tang San's side, squatted down, and checked his injuries.

"How is Tang San?" Ye Xuan walked slowly to Tang San's side, a faint smile on his lips.

Jiangzhu shook her head, her face full of worry: "His external soul bone is broken, his soul power is greatly depleted, and he has also suffered serious internal injuries. He needs immediate treatment."

Ye Xuan nodded, turned to the others and said, "Let's go back first and talk to Tang San when he wakes up."

Dai Mubai and the others nodded, helped the injured Xuan Ye, and followed Ye Xuan off the stage.

On the arena, the Tianshui Academy team members were helped up. Shui Bing'er watched Ye Xuan's departing figure, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She lost, not only the match, but also the conditions set by Prince Snowstar.

Xue Wu walked to Shui Bing'er's side and whispered, "Captain, we lost. What should we do next?"

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her icy blue eyes: "No matter what happens next, we, the people of Tianshui Academy, will never become canaries manipulated by others. At worst, we'll disband the academy and each make a living on our own!"

Unbeknownst to her, at the very moment the competition ended, Qian Renxue had already received the news inside the Crown Prince's residence, a cold smile curving her lips.

"Hehe, although Ye Xuan didn't have any good intentions towards Tianshui Academy, he still left this matter to me to handle."

"The dean of Tianshui Academy is a powerful expert at the Soul Douluo level. We can take this opportunity to bring Tianshui Academy into the Spirit Hall's sphere of influence."

Qian Renxue believes that the Spirit Hall has a better reputation than the Heaven Dou royal family, who tend to think with their lower bodies.

Of course.

There are quite a few criminals at the bottom of the Spirit Hall, but these people cannot be killed for the time being. Once she becomes the Angel God, she can start to purge the parasites within the Spirit Hall.

Tianshui Marquis Zhan Shi Shui Bing'er's fingertips were clenched so tightly they turned white, her long, dark blue hair hanging down her shoulders, but it couldn't hide the anxiety between her brows.

Just now backstage at the competition venue, Prince Xuexing's greasy hand almost touched her wrist, and the greedy light flashing in his eyes licked at everyone's nerves like the tongue of a venomous snake.

"He won't let this go."

Shui Yue'er bit her lower lip, her voice trembling slightly. She subconsciously leaned closer to her sister, while Shen Liuyu, standing beside her, felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

"Prince Xuexing holds the power of the national treasury and is His Majesty's younger brother. We are just a team from out of town and have no chance to compete with him."

The others nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with despair.

They had hoped to win the championship, but now they are being dragged into the abyss by the clutches of the powerful.

"Continue the competition?" Shui Bing'er gave a bitter smile. "If we offend Xue Xing, he can easily find a pretext to disqualify us, or even..."

She didn't dare to continue, but everyone understood that, given the prince's character, he would destroy anything he couldn't have.

Just then, the door to the waiting room was gently pushed open, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire room.

The seven people looked up abruptly and saw a figure dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, with seven round pearls inlaid on a jade belt at his waist. His face was handsome and gentle, but his brows carried an innate air of nobility. He was none other than the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Xueqing River.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Shui Bing'er was startled and quickly stood up to bow. The others hurriedly followed suit and knelt down.

They couldn't understand why the Crown Prince would suddenly visit their waiting room.

Qian Renxue walked slowly to the wooden table in the center of the room and sat down. Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table. Her gaze swept over the panicked faces of the crowd. "No need for formalities. I have come here today to discuss your matters."

Shui Bing'er looked up and met his deep eyes, which were unfathomable.

"Your Highness...you already know?"

"I had long suspected that Uncle Xuexing had been committing crimes in Tiandou Imperial City for many years, relying on his royal status."

Qian Renxue spoke calmly, her tone carrying a hint of cold disgust.

"He covets the strength of your Tianshui Academy and is also lustful. He tries to use his power to force you to submit, which is a disgrace to the royal family."

Shui Yue'er couldn't help but speak up: "But he is, after all, a prince, we..."

"With me here, he can't touch you," Qian Renxue interrupted her.

"Moreover, as long as you agree to one condition of this Crown Prince, Tianshui Academy will receive the most abundant financial support within the territory of the Tiandou Empire in the future."

Such generous terms left all seven of them stunned.

Shui Bing'er, with her keen senses, immediately sensed something was amiss: "What are Your Highness's conditions?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Qian Renxue's lips, and her gaze sharpened.

"It's very simple. From this day forward, Tianshui Academy will pledge allegiance to this Crown Prince."

"What?" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Loyalty to the crown prince and loyalty to the royal family may seem similar, but they are actually worlds apart.

Shui Bing'er's expression turned grave: "Your Highness, this is probably inappropriate..."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Qian Renxue's tone was calm, yet it carried a powerful persuasiveness.

"The Heavenly Dou royal family has long been corrupted by parasites, with scoundrels like Xue Xing emerging one after another. Only I, the Crown Prince, can restore order to the court."

"You students of Tianshui Academy are all exceptionally talented. Only by following me, the Crown Prince, can you truly realize your value."

His words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples.

Indeed, Tianshui Academy is located in the north and lacks resources. If they can gain the support of the Crown Prince, their future will be limitless.

Just as everyone was hesitating, a loud "bang" was heard as the wooden door of the waiting room was violently kicked open.

Prince Xuexing swaggered in, a lewd smile on his face, followed by two fierce-looking guards.

"My little beauties, what's your decision?"

He stared lecherously at the Shui Bing'er sisters and reached out to put his arm around Shui Yue'er's waist.

"As long as you serve me well, you'll be rewarded handsomely."

'

But when his gaze fell on Qian Renxue sitting at the table, the smile on his face froze instantly, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

"Qing... my nephew Qinghe?"

Prince Xuexing's voice trembled, his arrogance vanished instantly, and a fawning smile appeared on his fleshy face. "What are you doing here?"
