Chapter 61 Comparing Power and Background?
Xu Mochen frowned; Wang Shaojie was being too flamboyant. To avoid any unforeseen complications, he gave the middle-aged man beside him a look.
The other party immediately understood and swiftly activated the Level 7 Dragon-Trapping Shackles he had specially brought, aiming them at Kong Tianxu's head.
"You bastard!"
A deep, angry roar suddenly rang out, and the next second, a figure dressed in a magnificent black robe replaced the middle-aged man holding the shackles.
A milky-white wave of energy erupted from his body, blasting all eight people, including Wang Shaojie, away. Nine spirit rings instantly covered his entire body.
"A Title Douluo?!" Wang Shaojie exclaimed in shock.
His appearance at this moment was quite comical. He had been blasted away by Jing Hongchen's soul force and crashed into a corner of the wall. His upper body was lying on the ground, but his legs were still hanging from the wall, forming an awkward pigeon-toed shape. The overturned wheelchair was pressing on his back, making his struggle to get up futile. He could only barely lift his head and look at Jing Hongchen in horror.
Although he was in excruciating pain all over his body, the shock he felt was even more intense.
Titled Douluo hold a transcendent status in any country. Even a member of the royal family wouldn't dare to challenge a Titled Douluo. And judging from the other party's appearance, it seems...
"Master of the Red Dust Hall, you attacked our Royal Guard without even asking any questions. Isn't that a bit too overbearing?"
Xu Mochen struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and questioned in a cold voice.
Unlike Wang Shaojie and the others, he was a legitimate member of the royal family, and his father was a prince who controlled the imperial clan, wielding considerable power. Without sufficient evidence, even the head of the Mingde Hall could not easily touch him.
The newcomer was none other than Jing Hongchen, whose face was gloomy.
He knew that with such incidents happening one after another at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy under his jurisdiction, if he didn't take action soon, not only would he not be able to revive the glory of the Hongchen family, but he might even lose his position as the head of the Mingde Hall.
If it were anyone else, he would have already killed them. But these members of the Royal Guard all had some connection to the royal family, so he couldn't be completely reckless.
However—a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
The two people who could subdue him in the empire happen to be here today.
"It was I who ordered him to act. What, am I considered overbearing? Do I need your intervention?"
A calm yet imposing voice rang out, like the deathly silence before a volcanic eruption.
Xu Mochen, who had originally intended to use this opportunity to exert pressure, trembled upon hearing the voice and immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"His Majesty"
His Majesty?
It's Your Majesty!
The Emperor himself has arrived!
The lingering crowd, like reeds swaying in the wind, prostrated themselves in rows, offering the highest tribute to the figure amidst dozens of others, clad in an imperial robe embroidered with golden dragons and the sun and moon.
Standing next to him, Kong Deming wore a flowing bright yellow robe.
Xu Guoyi didn't even glance at Xu Mochen, and went straight to Wang Shaojie, who was still slumped on the ground. His tall figure blocked out the sunlight, casting a domineering shadow.
"You're right."
"There is indeed only one sun. But that is me, not you."
"And this is my daughter." He beckoned to Xu Tianzhen.
The little girl winked playfully at Kong Tianxu, skipped over to Xu Guoyi, and called out in a clear voice:
"Father!"
Wang Shaojie's pupils trembled, and his face turned ashen.
Xu Guoyi affectionately patted her head, then spoke again, his words as cold as ice:
"What you don't know is that I, the Sun and Moon, also have another bright moon, which is the Silver Moon Prince beside me."
He then gestured to Kong Tianxu.
This was also the first time Kong Tianxu had met this emperor. He bowed slightly and, amidst Xu Tianzhen's strange expression, moved to the other side of him.
"The person you need to arrest is his only grandson."
"Now--"
Xu Guoyi spoke extremely slowly, almost with pauses and breaks in his speech, and finally, his words struck like a heavy hammer:
"Who else do you want to take?"
Wang Shaojie's lips trembled, his face deathly pale: "Your Majesty..."
Kong Tianxu leaned down, looking at the arrogant dark-skinned youth who had been so haughty not long ago, with a half-smile:
"Comparing power? Comparing backgrounds?"
"Sorry, in the Sun and Moon Empire—"
He spread his arms, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on himself and Xu Tianzhen, who had somehow slipped behind him.
"We are invincible."
With a soft "click," Su Muzhe finally broke free from the hole in the wall and collapsed unconscious.
That was the sound of Wang Shaojie cracking.
The Soul Guidance Guards, hidden throughout the academy, acted swiftly, apprehending the Royal Inspectorate members, along with Su Muzhe and Xu Yunhuang. Under the Emperor's command of "Rise" and Jing Hongchen's direction, the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy gradually restored order.
In the crowd, a tall figure kept looking back, deeply imprinting Kong Tianxu's face in her heart, her dark red hair swaying slightly with her movements.
Perhaps, given his status, he could rescue his parents...
Unbeknownst to her, a young man with a cold and sinister aura glanced at her and then at Kong Tianxu, a strange smile slowly curving his lips.
He was dressed in all black, an ominous and eerie black.
……
"Grandpa and the others are gone just like that?"
In the infirmary, Cain went to the cafeteria to get food for them, while Xu Tianzhen volunteered to bandage his wounds.
Kong Tianxu leaned on his arm, looking at the busy girl in front of him, still pondering the meaningful looks Xu Guoyi and his group had given him earlier.
He originally thought that, based on Xu Guoyi's previous performance in the observation room and the importance that the level nine soul masters attached to the civilian use of soul guides, he should have been pulled into the laboratory by now to reproduce the outer shell structure of the soul guide gun.
Unexpectedly, Xu Guoyi only spoke with him for a few moments, and the other level-nine soul masters simply exchanged brief names with him before leaving. Only Luanfeng patted him on the shoulder and looked at him meaningfully for a long time.
Well, what's coming will come eventually. Anyway, with Grandpa around, they can't pull off any tricks.
"Tianzhen, you haven't finished bandaging it yet. If you don't hurry, it'll heal by the time you finish."
He moved his right arm. The red marks caused by Ji Juechen's sword intent had disappeared, but the wound on his knuckles had only just begun to scab over.
The opponent's strength was indeed extraordinary. Even after his sword energy was largely neutralized by the opponent's fist intent, it was still able to break through his silver dragon scales. If it was just a friendly spar, he had indeed lost.
However, just as he had thought, he had many ways to win. Even in a contest of fist and sword intent, if he went all out, he might not necessarily be the one to lose.
It seems that using fists against swords is a bit of a disadvantage, so he stretched out his palms.
"Alright!" Xu Tianzhen wiped non-existent beads of sweat from her forehead, examined her masterpiece, and smiled with satisfaction.
It should incorporate wind and fire attributes; those attributes are too overpowered...
Kong Tianxu stared silently at the bow in his hand, but finally gave the girl a thumbs up.
"you are awesome."
