Chapter 105: Moonlit Night, Fierce Battle with Qian Renxue!
Prince Xue Xing saw Tang San and his group sent flying like dead dogs, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes, but suddenly, a trace of panic surged into his gaze.
However, Xue Qinghe still approached Chu Chen with a smile.
"It has been several years, Brother Chu Chen, are you well?"
Xue Qinghe said gently. He had absolutely no airs of a Crown Prince, or rather... he understood the hearts of the people.
This was also the fundamental reason why he had gained more and more supporters within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family over the years; he had firmly established himself and was already able to put on a display of being close to the people and peaceful, allowing himself to remain in an invincible position.
"We meet again, Brother Qinghe."
Chu Chen smiled and gestured.
After the two exchanged greetings, Dugu Yan walked up angrily, first bowing to Xue Qinghe.
Then, she fixed her gaze on Prince Xue Xing.
"Prince Xue Xing, these guys dared to talk about annexing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and wanted to put pressure on our Royal Fighting Team; I believe they must have obtained your permission."
Dugu Yan's words were sharp.
It nearly caused Prince Xue Xing to break down on the spot!
Although he had indeed been fanning the flames behind the scenes, who could have expected that Chu Chen would suddenly appear and beat Tang San and the others into dead dogs.
"Hmph! Young Miss Dugu, do not think that just because you have Senior Dugu backing you, you can slander me at will."
Prince Xue Xing said with a dark face.
"Is that so!"
Dugu Bo descended from the sky.
His gaze fixed intensely on Prince Xue Xing, and he spoke: "How is it that I heard... someone wanted Yaner and the others to fight in underground matches for you, to earn profits for you."
"As a result, when Yaner and the others refused... you bore a grudge because of it, and even specifically found this group of rabble, attempting to dampen the Royal Fighting Team's spirit."
Dugu Bo slowly walked up to Prince Xue Xing.
Amidst the latter's panicked eyes, cold light surged in Dugu Bo's pupils.
"Senior Dugu, I will resolve this matter."
"The reason I brought him here is precisely for this matter."
Xue Qinghe looked at Prince Xue Xing. Although his expression was gentle, a glint of ferocity flowed in his pupils. What he relied on to establish his authority in the Imperial Family was definitely not just ordinary humility.
"Your Highness Crown Prince... I..."
Prince Xue Xing still wanted to quibble.
Xue Qinghe cut him off immediately: "No need to quibble, the evidence is conclusive; someone will resolve this matter."
"Everyone in the Royal Fighting Team has won supreme honor for the Heaven Dou Empire; you are not unaware of this."
Very quickly, several Imperial guards beside Xue Qinghe took away the struggling Prince Xue Xing, while Tang San and the others had already run away; staying here would surely lead to them being implicated.
"As for those people... hunt them down."
Xue Qinghe ordered again.
After the dispute was resolved, Dugu Bo laughed heartily and stepped forward to give Chu Chen a big hug.
"Damn! You brat, you finally decided to come back!"
After some reminiscing, at Xue Qinghe's invitation, everyone sat together and enjoyed a lavish reception from the Imperial Family, according to Xue Qinghe.
This was both an apology to the members of the Royal Fighting Team and a welcome banquet for Chu Chen's return.
After the banquet.
Chu Chen returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Ye Lingling. Having not seen each other for four years, it seemed the two had endless things to talk about.
Ye Lingling even showed him her fifth Soul Ring.
"This was chosen for me by Senior Bi Ji, a Soul Ring produced by a 15,000-year-old Bi Ji."
Ye Lingling explained.
Chu Chen: "???"
"So you mean, Emerald Swan caught her own clansman to serve as your Soul Ring?"
Seeing Chu Chen's stunned expression.
Ye Lingling chuckled, then immediately explained: "Senior Bi Ji said that the Bi Ji had developed some problems of its own."
"Even with her abilities, it could not be saved... and in order to let me thoroughly grant that Bi Ji a release..."
Chu Chen suddenly realized.
He had almost been startled.
He thought Ye Lingling had become so brave all of a sudden.
Slaughtering an Emerald Swan right in front of Emerald Swan?
"Then next time I will go find Di Tian and have him introduce me to a Dragon Clan Soul Beast."
Chu Chen muttered.
Ye Lingling chuckled on the side, the atmosphere pleasant.
Late at night.
Chu Chen left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and returned to the place where he had once discussed the Dao with Qian Renxue. When they met today, they both understood each other's thoughts.
So Chu Chen believed she would come.
Sure enough, a moment later, a golden figure holding a sword arrived under the moonlight. The corners of her mouth held a smile, and her voice fell into Chu Chen's ears.
"Four years have passed, and you have already become a Soul Emperor."
"And you even possess two 100,000-year soul rings. Why don't you and I discuss the Dao once more, what do you say?"
Seeing the Battle Intent surging in Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes.
Chu Chen laughed and readily accepted!
"Boom—!"
The Blue Silver Emperor surged forth, blooming all around, golden light illuminating the night sky, incomparably brilliant.
Feeling this immense life force.
Qian Renxue, while shocked, did not hesitate to praise Chu Chen: "What terrifying life energy. It seems that you today are no longer what you used to be."
"Let you and me have a hearty battle!"
She held a sword in her hand, with sacred flames burning on it.
A pair of brilliant, flawless Angel Wings appeared behind her. She erupted with powerful Soul Power; looking at this Rank of Soul Power, it must have already reached Rank 76.
Seven Soul Rings with the best configuration lit up.
"Angel Sword!"
Qian Renxue made the first move. An angel shadow descended behind her, and then she swung down with a golden holy sword, golden light sweeping across.
Facing this sword shadow, Chu Chen raised his hand.
Clusters of Blue Silver Emperor broke through the soil, weaving into a large net in the air in front, with dancing light of life pulsating upon it, while simultaneously having the power of nature flowing through!
"Boom—!"
The strike landed, and a powerful energy storm spread out.
Chu Chen no longer defended passively. He used the Blue Silver Emperor to carry Life's Flowing Light, covering his whole body like a layer of starlight.
"First Soul Skill, Life's Flowing Light."
"Teleportation!"
He instantly appeared in front of Qian Renxue.
Then his fist wind whistled; amidst wide, sweeping movements, his arms constantly unfolded, throwing punch after punch!
His fist light was incomparably overbearing. The Blue Silver Emperor provided him with a continuous infusion of life force, and in his hands, it constantly changed shape, condensing into a spear.
Looking at its appearance, it was somewhat similar to the Destruction Dragon Spear.
"Angel Shield!"
Qian Renxue reacted quickly. Her battle instinct prompted her to condense golden light into a shield. While taking Chu Chen's blow head-on, she thrust out with her sword.
The sword and spear constantly clashed, emitting golden sparks. Chu Chen once again unleashed his fourth Soul Skill; the Blue Silver Emperor in his hands turned ink-black, in its tenacious form!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Life Enhancement!"
Chu Chen's offensive was incomparably fierce. Holding the spear, he constantly exchanged blows with Qian Renxue, for a moment actually matching her, and even suppressing Qian Renxue!
