Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

Tang San shook his head and said.

"Yes, yes, it's best not to get involved."

Oscar nodded frantically. He knew Dai Mubai's personality all too well; if he interfered too much, he would only end up getting beaten up.

Wait, it seems like Boss Dai can't beat Yan Xiao and Tang San?

Oscar suddenly realized something crucial.

"Uh...really? You guys really didn't know?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San and the others with a surprised expression, as if they didn't know that there were two empires on this continent.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Tang San frowned, not thinking there was anything wrong with what he said.

"His surname is Dai, and his martial soul is the White Tiger. Aren't these two characteristics quite obvious?"

Ning Rongrong tilted her head. "Even if you didn't think of it at first, you should have been able to figure it out after learning about Zhu Qing's surname and martial soul, right?"

"Uh...so?" Oscar blinked.

"You might as well make your words more clear."

Tang San looked displeased. Was it strange that he, a commoner, didn't know about the affairs of nobles?

"The surname Dai is the national surname of the Star Luo Empire, and the White Tiger is the inherited martial soul of the Star Luo Empire's royal family. It is said to be a powerful offensive beast martial soul on the same level as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus."

Although he was still thinking about the conversation between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, Xiao Yan still casually offered an explanation.

"The Zhu family is the most prestigious noble family in the Star Luo Empire. The main reason is that the Zhu family's Netherworld Cat and White Tiger can form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"In order to firmly bind the Zhu family to their warship, the Star Luo royal family has always maintained a marriage alliance with the Zhu family. If nothing unexpected happens, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's marriage relationship was arranged from birth."

"Royal..."

Oscar's expression was somewhat stiff, probably because he hadn't expected Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to have such an outrageous background.

"Royal..."

Tang San's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something.

“There’s no need to be envious. The competition for the throne among the royal children of the Star Luo Empire is truly a matter of life and death.” Hearing the two’s murmurs, Xiao Yan thought they were just envious, so he continued.

"If nothing unexpected happens, within a few years, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing will have to fight a life-or-death battle with their brothers and sisters, and only the survivors will be able to inherit the throne."

The struggle for the throne of the Star Luo Empire is no secret; anyone with even a slight understanding of the continent's history knows about it. Therefore, it seems Oscar and Tang San are the kind of people who don't read books. As for that rabbit…

I guess they're still in the literacy stage, and I don't know if they've learned all the characters yet.

"A struggle for the throne, a fight to the death..."

Oscar suddenly realized that he shouldn't have come out tonight. He had learned too much at once, and he didn't know how to deal with Dai Mubai, his classmate who might become an emperor or become a corpse in a few years!

"How did you find out about these things? Shouldn't matters involving the struggle for the throne be classified information?"

Tang San, who had originally planned to establish a sect based on Prince Dai Mubai's status, heard about the "fighting to the death" part and recalled Dai Mubai's decadent state when he saw him a couple of days ago. He immediately realized that Dai Mubai had probably given up on the competition.

However, he still didn't understand one thing: how did Yan Xiao and Ning Rongrong know the detailed information regarding the struggle for the throne?

"The sect's library contains historical materials about the Star Luo Empire." Ning Rongrong shrugged. She wasn't really naughty; she would still look at things she needed to know.

“Just pick any history book, and you’ll find records of the struggles for imperial power among the stars, and some even include statistics on the start time of each struggle.”

Xiao Yan began to think that Zhu Zhuqing might not really understand Dai Mubai's situation, yet she traveled all the way to Soto City, only to discover Dai Mubai's extravagant lifestyle, which caused him to lose his guard.

While inwardly lamenting Zhu Zhuqing's lack of common sense, Xiao Yan continued, "The generally accepted view is that it was when the eldest prince was twenty years old."

"The current Crown Prince will be twenty years old in less than two years."

"So Dai Mubai, he..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he won't live past twenty." Xiao Yan said what Tang San hadn't finished saying.

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's hurry up and catch up with them. We can't even see Zhu Qing and the others anymore!"

In the end, it was Xiao Wu who broke the deadlock.

Dai Mubai and his companion hadn't gone far, and after running for a short while, the others caught up with them.

Soon, the group returned to Shrek Academy.

"Rock Owl, it wasn't convenient to talk about this before in the Great Soul Arena, but now you can talk about your first soul skill, right?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing walk towards the dormitory without any hesitation, Dai Mubai became a little anxious and quickly brought up a topic.

Zhu Zhuqing seemed quite interested in this matter as well, stopping in her tracks, turning around, and looking at Yan Xiao.

'He's quite intelligent...' Xiao Yan muttered to himself.

"Didn't you notice that those rhinoceroses weren't lined up like soldiers, going from one side to the other?"

Dai Mubai recalled that the first head was directly in front of Xiao Yan, the second head was to the left front, and the third head was to the right rear...

"It seems so. Is there a problem?"

Apart from Dai Mubai, everyone else also remembered the scattered locations where those fiery beasts had appeared.

"Why don't you confirm the location of each one?" Xiao Yan asked with a mysterious smile.

"Confirm what? The first one is directly in front of you, and the second one is to your left front..." Dai Mubai was speechless.

"Huh? Isn't the second one to the right rear?" Oscar asked, looking surprised.

"Are you guys mistaken? The second one is clearly to the right front!" Xiao Wu was a little suspicious that her classmates couldn't distinguish between front, back, left, and right.

“What I see is also to the right front…” Ning Rongrong interjected.

"Left rear." Even after participating in the discussion, Zhu Zhuqing's voice remained cold.

Regarding the location where the second fire behemoth appeared, the five people gave four different answers.

At that moment, they all seemed to understand something, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

"The illusion of light and shadow is a little trick I figured out myself." Xiao Yan was very satisfied with the puzzled looks on the others' faces.

"In actual combat, it's about blurring the opponent's perception, making them unable to understand which soul skill I'm using."

The premise is that the opponent's mental strength has not reached the level of a second-level talisman master. Of course, this is under the condition that Xiao Yan does not use his mental strength.

"So, you didn't use your first soul skill back then?" Dai Mubai was shocked.

“…You should say that it’s not just the first soul skill,” Xiao Yan said, his face full of black lines, “the first fire rhinoceros is real, but out of the next twenty or so, only three are real.”

"You can't tell the difference because of the special way I use my second soul skill!"

"Isn't your second soul skill a defensive soul skill? And isn't it quite conspicuous?"

Dai Mubai still remembered that his White Tiger Blazing Light Wave was swallowed up by a layer of fire yesterday.

"So it's a special way of using it?" Xiao Yan shrugged and smiled innocently.

"Then let me ask you a question," Dai Mubai licked his lips, "How many fire behemoths can your first soul skill unleash?"

"What? Gathering intelligence so you can get revenge later?" Xiao Yan glanced at him and teased.

"hey-hey……"

"Then I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

Xiao Yan smiled, looking at the focused crowd.

"I can unleash the Flame Rhinoceros indefinitely before my soul power runs out."

The fire behemoth is simply a change in the shape of the flames. The key is never to solidify the shape, but to make it like a real behemoth that can "crash" enemies away.

"Really?" Dai Mubai's voice was a little hoarse.

"Guess?" Xiao Yan smiled.

“Alright…” Dai Mubai’s lips twitched slightly, while he glanced at Zhu Zhuqing—

Having learned the answer, Zhu Zhuqing walked straight into the college and headed towards her dormitory without looking back.

"Zhu Zhuqing!"

Dai Mubai frowned and shouted loudly.

Zhu Zhuqing stopped and turned her head slightly, giving the impression that she was listening intently.

"What do you want me to do for you to forgive me?!"

"No, even if you have something to say, you should wait until we've all left, right?"

Everyone else looked on with amusement, but Xiao Yan was completely bewildered. "You guys shouldn't just stand there watching! Let's get going!"

Whether Zhu Zhuqing knew it was inappropriate to talk about her and Dai Mubai in front of so many people, or simply didn't want to deal with Dai Mubai, she gave a soft snort and left without saying a word.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing who had left, and then at Dai Mubai who remained silent, the group was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to leave or approach her. They simply stood there awkwardly.

“Uh… Boss Dai…” Finally, Oscar couldn’t take it anymore and stepped forward.

“Oscar, tell me honestly, do you think I was wrong?” Dai Mubai turned around abruptly, staring into Oscar’s eyes, and asked.

"Huh...huh? Are you asking me?"

Oscar was completely bewildered. How could he possibly be asked to answer such a question?

"Yes, it's you." Dai Mubai grabbed Oscar's shoulder. "Otherwise what?"

He couldn't beat either of the remaining two boys, and if they said anything nasty, he would have to swallow it down. But if Oscar said something nasty, he would have a punching bag to vent his anger on at night.

"I dumped all my old flames just to get her forgiveness, and she won't even look at me," Dai Mubai said through gritted teeth. "Who does she think she is? How dare she treat me like this?!"

He looked like he had lost his mind.

"No...she's your fiancée. You're out here having a good time, is it a problem if she gets a little upset?"

Oscar's expression started to falter. If he didn't know about Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's relationship, he would have been willing to support Dai Mubai, but after learning about their connection...

He felt that Dai Mubai was acting like a clown, as if he wanted to incite them all to isolate Zhu Zhuqing.

“You also think I’m not wrong, right?” Dai Mubai put his arm around Oscar’s shoulder and asked.

"I guess so..."

Oscar hoped to get help from Xiao Yan or Tang San, but neither of them were interested in the farce that Dai Mubai had put on, nor did they want to get themselves into trouble just by talking to Dai Mubai.

"Let's go, come with me to Soto City for a drink!"
