Chapter 106 Dai Mubai Loses His Right to the Throne
After Xiao Yan returned to his dormitory at Tiandou Academy, it was already late at night. After politely greeting Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and others, he went to the auction house in Tiandou City accompanied by Qin Ming. He learned that the next auction would be held in the middle of the year, which was about five months away.
Even though the auction house was relying on the prestige of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, they didn't reveal any of the items to me beforehand. I'll definitely bring Tang San and Xiao Wu with me to the auction. If there's anything suitable for them, I can just buy it. After all, I might as well take advantage of the reward that Xue Qinghe secured for me.
Then Qin Ming led him to meet the three education committee members. Xiao Yan could only pretend to explain what had happened and the damage his martial soul had caused to them.
Upon hearing this, Meng Shenji became nervous and inquired in detail about the other party's characteristics and martial soul properties, clearly intending to gather information to demand an explanation from Xiao Yan.
He muttered to himself, "No wonder some students said there seemed to be a major battle taking place on the way to the academy today."
However, they were naturally unaware that the two Soul Masters described in such detail by Xiao Yan were now nothing but ashes on the ground, and no matter how hard the Dream Education Committee tried, they could not find them.
Xiao Yan also praised Meng Jiaowei's Black Demon Martial Soul on the spot, frankly admitting that if it weren't for the martial soul training that improved his mental strength, he wouldn't have been able to break through the opponent's mental illusion. Perhaps he would have been killed right in front of Teacher Qin Ming without anyone noticing. Of course, these were just polite words. Now that his Purple Demon Eye was nearing completion, he was naturally able to resist these mental techniques.
However, he didn't understand why he was ambushed by the Spirit Hall during the day. Logically speaking, if it were a mental attack, he would have noticed it. The attacker's methods seemed a bit unusual to him.
Qin Ming was also present and solemnly requested that Meng Shenji provide him with special mental training. After all, if Xiao Yan hadn't broken off the engagement, he might have let a student die right before his eyes. Meng Shenji didn't reprimand them too much for this, but he was concerned that the two of them had brazenly gone to the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City to teach Qin Ming a lesson after being attacked.
Xiao Yan didn't think it was that exaggerated. The reason Qin Ming was so immersed in the illusion was because he hadn't suffered any real harm. These mental techniques were more about making people feel disoriented. Even if he couldn't deal with the two Soul Kings at the time, he only needed to attack Qin Ming to bring him back to his senses. However, he was someone who had killed Soul Kings before, so he wasn't afraid of those two Star Luo spies.
As for Salas, Meng Shenji frowned and didn't say anything more. After all, it was too difficult for them to deal with the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall. However, they didn't expect that a Bishop at the Soul Douluo level would be so cruel to a child. Fortunately, Sword Douluo was there to dispel the miasma for him. Otherwise, it would have affected Xiao Yan's future cultivation path and might have even subtly turned him into a murderous person.
These were the conclusions that Meng Shenji drew after hearing Xiao Yan's description of his senses at the time, which even reminded him of the people in the City of Slaughter...
Fortunately, Xiao Yan refused Salas's request to take him as a disciple. Salas was a wicked man, and even with a bright future and resources, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't corrupt Xiao Yan. After all, in Meng Shenji's eyes, Xiao Yan was just a teenager, and now that he had left his master, his master had also suffered such an accident.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan remained true to himself and rejected Salas's temptations.
Before leaving, Meng Shenji solemnly said that although Master Yan Xiao was probably safe according to the current situation, and everyone was pointing the finger at Xiao Yan, at least this was the Tian Dou Academy, which was close to the core of the Tian Dou Empire. There was no need for a Title Douluo-level expert to take his life. So, the three of them, the teaching committee members, were enough for those below the Title level.
Even if Master Yan Xiao is safe, Meng Shenji still hopes that Yan Xiao could consider taking a position at the Heaven Dou Academy. Even if he doesn't teach, just ensuring his safety would be good. These are Meng Shenji's heartfelt words. After all, in his view, the theories provided by Master Yan Xiao would take scholars across the entire continent more than a decade to fully grasp. It would be excellent if Master Yan Xiao could stay at the Heaven Dou Academy and occasionally answer students' questions.
Moreover, in their eyes, Xiao Yan is indeed an unparalleled genius. Although Tang San and Xiao Wu are also extremely talented and are about to break through to level 40, it is clear to everyone that Xiao Yan is the backbone of the three.
Regardless of Yan Xiao's final choice, his actions would earn him points with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan nodded, indicating that he would inform Mr. Yan Xiao and then relay the results to the Education Committee. It was quite late before he was able to return to his dormitory.
Looking at the light on at the entrance of his dormitory, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile. He hadn't expected that someone would be waiting for him so late. He slowly pushed open the door and, sure enough, saw Tang San sitting cross-legged to the side, cultivating his Xuan Tian Gong.
Hearing the door open, Tang San opened his eyes, his wary gaze relaxing at that moment.
"Big brother, why did you disappear so early in the morning and only come back now? Xiao Wu thought you rushed back to Notting City. I told her that if you really went back, you would definitely tell us, so the two of us waited for you until just now. It's too late, so Xiao Wu will go back first."
"Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded, indicating that if he really went to Nottingham City, he would definitely discuss it with them, and then recounted his experiences of the day.
Unlike others, Tang San was meticulous and immediately realized something.
"Big brother, I saw in a catalog that the direct descendants of the Star Luo Empire's royal family all share the same martial soul, called White Tiger. Although it can't compare to the domineering power-attack martial soul like Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, it's still pretty good. The person who asked to take action this time, isn't that Dai something-white from Shrek Academy?"
Xiao Yan nodded. He hadn't expected that even though they didn't have much interaction, Tang San could still analyze the general situation from some details. However, it was probably because Dai Mubai was too flamboyant. He always talked about looking down on everyone, so it was hard not to associate him with some kind of noble status. Coincidentally, he also had the White Tiger Martial Soul. In no time, who else could it be?
"However, that's all the methods he can use. After all, he's not as good as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. As a prince, he managed to send two Soul Kings, and now they're both dead. He probably won't have an easy time from now on."
"As expected of the eldest brother, he actually killed two Soul Kings." Tang San had already guessed the general outline when he heard Xiao Yan recount what had happened, and now Xiao Yan didn't hold back and told him directly.
Tang San looked at his opponent with a mixture of awe and lingering fear. It seemed that ever since they first met when he was six years old, Xiao Yan had always given him a sense of unfathomable depth, always managing to overpower him. And now, he had actually killed two Soul Kings with five Soul Rings with just three Soul Rings.
Xiao Yan smiled but didn't say anything more. As he said, Dai Mubai's life was definitely not easy these days. Even if he didn't return to Xingluo, the Xingluo royal family would probably threaten to remove him from the list, after all, it was a loss of two Soul King level spies.
