In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 204 The Avalanche That Provoked Trouble

Does this mean that the Dragon King Palace and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are on good terms?

Many people were secretly pondering this.

Just then, a young man in brocade robes and a jade belt, with an air of arrogance, suddenly stepped out from the crowd. He slowly walked up to Wang Zhao, then slightly raised his head with a hint of haughtiness and said:

"Are you Wang Zhao?"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and turned to look at the arrogant young man who dared to call Wang Zhao by his name, seemingly challenging the dignified Lord of the Dragon King Palace.

However, those present were mostly prominent figures in Tiandou City, and they were all familiar with each other, being either rich or powerful. So, the moment they looked at the young man, they immediately recognized him.

It is none other than Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Tiandou Empire, who has recently been rumored in Tiandou City to be a complete playboy!

So it was him...

Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously understood. Then they couldn't help but wonder if Xue Beng, who usually acted recklessly and bullied the common people, had really lost his mind to dare to put on airs with the Dragon King Palace Master. You have to know that even his father, Emperor Xue Ye, treated Wang Zhao, who was now almost equivalent to the titled Douluo "Your Majesty," with great respect.

Even if he really is a spoiled brat, he can't be this stupid!

The crowd couldn't help but discuss this, though they all spoke in hushed tones. After all, neither the Heavenly Dou Royal Family behind Xue Beng nor Wang Zhao and the Dragon King Palace were people any of them could afford to offend. They could only choose to stand by and watch.

"I am Wang Zhao, who are you?"

At this moment, Wang Zhao met everyone's gazes without showing any annoyance. Instead, he smiled gently and calmly, as if unaware of the person's identity, and asked in response.

"Hmph, my surname is Xue, and my name is Xue Beng."

Faced with Wang Zhao's calm and even gentle demeanor, Xue Beng, for some reason, recalled his elder brother Xue Qinghe and couldn't help but restrain his arrogant expression with some fear. However, as if he suddenly thought of something, he no longer held back and continued to speak somewhat recklessly.

"So it's His Highness the Fourth Prince."

Wang Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly.

"May I ask what business you have with me, Your Highness?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng briefly pondered how to provoke this young palace master who was not much older than him but was already qualified to be on par with his father.

Only in this way could he demonstrate his extreme arrogance and dissoluteness, without offending the young palace master too much, lest he, who clearly held the status of a prince, be mercilessly taught a lesson by Wang Zhao on the spot.

After all, although he had his uncle Xue Xing and even the entire Tian Dou royal family backing him up, Wang Zhao was also a big figure who could almost be regarded as the sect leader of one of the three upper sects!

It turns out that in recent years, for some unknown reason, news of several princes of the Heavenly Dou Empire being killed in accidents has spread, causing many people to feel fear and unease.

By chance, Xue Beng learned from his uncle Xue Xing, who was usually his closest friend, that behind all of this was probably his older brother, Xue Qinghe, who always appeared to be a gentle and refined gentleman!

As for the reason for the suspicion, it is that the deaths of the other princes would be most beneficial to Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince, and his purpose in doing so was naturally to eliminate his rivals so that he could inherit the throne without any obstacles in the future.

In response, Xue Beng was naturally trembling with fear, after all, he was a lazy, good-for-nothing playboy who had no confidence in fighting against his older brother.

Just then, his uncle Xuexing gave him an idea.

This would allow him, whose reputation was already not good, to go a step further, openly displaying his playboy persona to the point that everyone knew about him, deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people of Tiandou City, and drawing the secret contempt of countless people. By showing his weakness and ugliness, he would make Xue Qinghe think that he had no chance of inheriting the throne and choose to let him go. Then, he could secretly accumulate strength, and perhaps in the future, he would have a chance to overthrow Xue Qinghe in one fell swoop, or at the very least, save his life.

Having no other choice, Xue Beng naturally agreed. Thus, Xue Beng began his path of debauchery, sometimes even exceeding the bounds of such behavior. For example, he would do things like openly abducting women on the streets of Tian Dou City without any regard for his status as a prince. Gradually, he became seen by many as a piece of trash, like a local ruffian or bully. Even many noble children were ashamed to associate with Xue Beng.

Does achieving this demonstrate his acting skills? No, only Xue Beng himself knows the truth: he actually enjoys this kind of life, which is simply wonderful.

If it weren't for his uncle Xuexing constantly instilling in him the idea that only by becoming emperor could he enjoy a more unrestrained life, he wouldn't even bother risking his life to continue accumulating power to compete with his elder brother for the throne in the future, choosing instead to remain a spoiled prince forever.

This period was neither long nor short. His undisguised纨绔 (playboy) behavior was actually displayed during the same year that Wang Zhao became famous. Therefore, during this period, there were quite a few avalanches. The noble girls in Tingyue Pavilion privately expressed their contempt for his various evil deeds, while also praising Wang Zhao, who was rumored to be incomparably handsome, a benevolent healer, and exceptionally capable, without limit.

So in the end, Avalanche is still just a tiny kid. Even if the special nature of the Douluo world makes people mature faster in all aspects, how powerful can he be?

Combined with his arrogant and domineering personality, although he didn't say anything on the surface, he had already accumulated a lot of resentment towards Wang Zhao, who was clearly not much older than him but was far superior to him in every aspect as a prince of the empire.

Why is he just a despised good-for-nothing playboy?!

Why is it that Wang Zhaojun, accompanied by a beautiful woman, can become famous throughout the mainland?!

Avalanches have erupted countless times in the dead of night in silence, only to fall silent again.

Now, Wang Zhao has been in Tiandou City for more than a month. During this time, he has established the Dragon King Palace, recruited Dugu Bo, and so on. Wang Zhao's extraordinary performance has made Xue Beng hesitate whenever he wants to cause trouble for him.

Not to mention that not long ago, Wang Zhao also revealed his unprecedented 100,000-year fifth spirit ring, demonstrating strength that was said to be able to reach the level of a Title Douluo!

A Titled Douluo, that must be an existence of terrifying power...

The avalanche was frightened; the pent-up anger it had been holding in for so long simply couldn't be released.
