Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Even before Xue Zhan was born, he often visited the Xuefeng Legion to comfort the soldiers, doing so once a year, a tradition passed down from his ancestors.

Because the Snow Peak Legion is too special, much more so than the Snow Shield Legion, which also inherited the same lineage. It is the strongest legion force of their Heavenly Dou Royal Family, and every emperor firmly grasps control and loyalty to the Snow Peak Legion.

Moreover, he somewhat liked the rebellious son's domineering and forceful style, something Xueye lacked.

An excellent emperor cannot rely solely on political maneuvering; sometimes, he must be sufficiently ruthless and domineering.

Chapter 179 The Meeting of Resentment

The Xuefeng Legion has always been disciplined. Upon receiving the order, all soldiers set off quickly and marched at full speed.

Fortunately, the city gate where the military camp was located was relatively close to the Heavenly Battle Arena, and it took less than half an hour to enter the Heavenly Battle Arena.

Ninety thousand people were stationed outside, while ten thousand people went inside and dispersed. They formed a neat circle around the competition venue, with everyone drawing their Snowblade Greatswords and planting them in the ground in front of them. They leaned on their swords with both hands, their killing intent surging, causing many people to turn pale.

Is this the empire's strongest elite legion?

That's really scary.

"start."

After his troops had taken over all the defenses of the Great Arena, Xue Zhan signaled to the host to announce the start of today's competition.

We've already wasted a lot of time; it's time to get started.

"Today's first match is between the Spark Team and the Ultra Team. Please welcome the players from both sides to the stage."

Without delay, the host stepped forward with a microphone and announced the two sides of the first match. With the amplification of the microphone, the voice instantly spread throughout the entire Great Soul Arena.

The Spark Team and the Ultra Team entered the arena at the same time. After the referee announced the start, the two sides rushed forward and engaged in a fierce battle.

As elites specially trained by advanced soul master academies, their combat strength is naturally not bad. Whether it is their soul power level, their application of soul skills, or most importantly, their practical combat experience, they are all perfect.

"It's interesting, but it lacks a sense of killing intent. It needs more training."

Watching the battle below, Xue Zhan gave his evaluation.

It can only be said that they are indeed elites cultivated by the two advanced soul master academies with painstaking efforts. They have a solid foundation and can become talents as long as they are tempered by life-and-death battles.

"Killing, especially murder, is best left untouched. If one engages in killing before one's mind is mature and stable, it can easily distort one's mind."

The chaos in the Soul Master world persists largely because Soul Masters are exposed to killing too early, become accustomed to killing, and resort to fighting and killing whenever they are in a dilemma.

We are training pillars of society, not killers.

Soul Masters possess immense power, but they also require sufficient wisdom and intelligence to wield it; otherwise, they will only become a source of chaos.

Tian Hao doesn't quite agree with the current way of training Soul Masters. Although this world emphasizes the supremacy of the strong, the strong don't necessarily have to fight their way up from childhood.

"what happened?"

Noticing the strange look in the eyes of the person beside him, Tian Hao asked, puzzled.

What's wrong with this thing again?

"I have a feeling you're talking about me."

Xue Zhan muttered a resentful complaint, feeling as if the guy was talking about him.

After awakening his martial spirit, he went to the Snow Peak Legion and was trained by his maternal grandfather. He was exposed to killing very early on, and by now, there are at least eight hundred to a thousand people who have died by his sword.

"You can think of it that way too."

Tian Hao was delighted, increasingly feeling that this prince was actually quite easy to get along with.

Of course, you have to perform in a way that earns their approval. First, you have to make Xue Ye suffer a setback, then you have to compete with Chen Xin in swordsmanship on the training ground, and finally you have to show your identity as a disciple of Sword Douluo. Only then will you catch their eye. Otherwise, who would they even care about?

This is the arrogance of the strong.

"I admit I was a bit too bloodthirsty, but that's just how the Snow Peak Legion is, what can I do?"

Xue Zhan complained helplessly that the Xuefeng Legion was quite ferocious; once they got into the swing of killing, they couldn't stop and would even kill all the prisoners.

"That's because you haven't found a way to control your killing intent. Look at the killing intent in my teacher's Seven Kill Sword. Does it have that same violent feeling as yours?"

Tian Hao suggested that the next steps in planning for the Snow Peak Legion would require the help of this Snow Battle Prince.

"I was wondering why something felt off."

After a long moment of stunned silence, Xue Zhan suddenly realized.

He had always felt something was off, but hadn't realized it until now. Now, reminded of it, he immediately noticed that the killing intent emanating from that Sword Douluo was very unusual, completely different from the killing intent of their Snow Peak Legion.

"No, I can't waste time in that lousy palace. I have to go back to the camp."

Having made up his mind, Xue Zhan did not plan to return to the palace. He would go back to the camp to talk with Sword Douluo after the competition ended today.

He wasn't stupid; he knew very well that the Snow Peak Legion was his foundation, and the strength of the Snow Peak Legion was his own strength, which was far more important than being a temporary emperor in the palace.

Besides, being an emperor seems really difficult. He was almost buried under those documents before and hasn't slept a wink since.

The thought of the stacks of government documents piled up in her father's study sent a chill down Xue Zhan's spine.

It's too tiring.

The two didn't mute themselves, and everyone in the main stands could hear them. Some were happy, some were worried, and the most worried was naturally Xueye.

The Snow Peak Legion is already powerful enough; if it were to be elevated to a higher level, it would become even more passive.

"If you can't sit on a hard chair, then sit with your brother."

Emperor Xuesheng suddenly spoke, and although he did not turn his head, everyone knew that he was talking about Crown Prince Xueye.

Everyone looked puzzled, unable to understand what the emperor was up to.

"Your subject obeys."

His face darkened, but Xueye did not refuse. After accepting the order, he went over and prepared to sit down next to Xuezhan.

Although I really didn't want to sit with this troublesome younger brother, it was, after all, the Emperor's order, and perhaps this was another test.

Just as she was about to sit down, someone pulled her arm and made her sit on the other side, sandwiched between the two people. Then an arm was draped over her shoulder, and a familiar voice came from behind.

"Your Highness, it's been so long, have you missed me?"

Tian Hao laughed heartily. Indeed, happiness built on the suffering of the enemy is true happiness.

That emperor was very clever; he had just been tricked into joining the rebellion when the enemy used a trick to provoke him.

Look at Xueye's face now, it looks absolutely beautiful.

"I heard that you had your woman stolen by Xiao Gai, big brother. Tell me what happened and how you feel now. I hope this will serve as a warning to you."

Xue Zhan also put his arm around his older brother's shoulder, looking on with a gossipy expression.

Although he didn't understand what his father meant, it didn't stop him from chatting and connecting with his older brother.

Being teased by the two of them like this, Xueye's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and she almost lost her temper.

But then, as if she understood something, she turned to look at her father and, seeing the expectant smile on his face, she was certain.

"An emperor's joy and anger are never outwardly displayed!"

Recalling what her father had said last time, Xueye understood that this must be a test from her father, using those two things to hone her control over her anger.

He had to pass the test and not disappoint his father.

"Would you like to experience what it's like to be an emperor?"

Looking closely at Xue Ye's handsome profile, Xue Zhan suddenly asked.

"You would be that kind?"

With a blank expression, Xueye glanced sideways. She knew her younger brother quite well; he was just as cunning and often acted unpredictably.

If that's the case, it's definitely not a good thing.

"Someone, go to my father's study and bring all those government documents so that my brother can review them and experience what it's like to be an emperor."

Xue Zhan immediately ordered his guards to retrieve the documents.

He didn't want to review those documents anymore; with his older brother, who was a sucker, around, he could just sit back and relax.

He was familiar with this operation. Back in the Snow Peak Legion, he would delegate those troublesome military affairs to a few deputy generals. Now it was just a change of environment.

"Your Majesty, you must review them carefully and not be lazy. I will check them."

With a broad smile, Xue Zhan was eager to see if reviewing so many government documents would exhaust this kind older brother.

Chapter 180 Battle Against the Alien Beasts

A rather dramatic scene unfolded: on the large sofa in the main stands, Xue Zhan and Tian Hao chatted while watching the game, while Xue Ye, sandwiched in between, was miserably reviewing government documents and had to be checked by Xue Zhan from time to time.

This perfectly exemplifies the saying, "I enjoy the good times, and you bear the bad times!"

That's a dog's wrath.

The pressure on Xueye was considerable. These government documents might be simple for his father, the emperor, but that was because he had been emperor for decades and was already very familiar with them.

Although I had studied government affairs before, and even reviewed documents when I was in charge of the country.

But the ones he dealt with were all relatively unimportant and not very difficult. Now, however, many of these are quite brain-draining. For example, the document in his hand is giving him a headache, and he doesn't know how to start writing for quite a while.

Unfortunately, there were two useless people sitting next to me. Not only were they not helpful, but they also kept causing trouble.

"Although you are my elder brother, I am now the emperor. How come you have never addressed me as Your Majesty?"

"Brother, you're handling state affairs far too slowly. Father Emperor at least let you oversee the country a few times before, haven't you made any progress?"

"Your Highness, listening to music can help regulate your mood. How about I play a song to liven things up?"

It's the song I sang at the Tianyin Academy the other day, it was really energetic.

By the way, when Yue'er and I get married in the future, can Your Highness be our witness?

"If we have a child, can they recognize you as their godfather?"

……

The veins on Xue Ye's forehead throbbed, and he wished he could immediately possess his martial spirit and tear those two things apart.

"Completely under control."

Not far away, Gu Rong complained, "That little black guy is too much of a nemesis to Xue Ye. He's practically her nemesis."
