After listening to Qian Renxue's words, they did not dwell on the topic.
As for enemies, the Spirit Hall has plenty of enemies. Haven't they been doing just fine?
If anyone were to collapse, it would be Spirit Hall collapsing even faster!
"Your Excellency, I've heard that the long-delayed Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is about to start."
"Shall we go take a look?"
Ju Douluo Yueguan spoke excitedly.
In the past, whenever the tournament was about to begin, a large number of prodigies from all over the continent would emerge, competing fiercely to prove that they were the strongest talents of this generation!
They would dominate their peers, conquer their contemporaries.
It was the dream of every young person!
Qian Renxue's eyes brightened, seeming genuinely interested. "Hmm? It hasn't started yet?"
Ju Douluo Yueguan nodded. "Yes, the previous delay was due to Pope Bibi Dong's health issues, and the recent attack on the Tiandou Imperial Palace. The entire continent was in a state of crisis."
"Naturally, the tournament had to be postponed."
"Now that the continent has regained stability, several major evil soul master organizations have been severely weakened, and the people are at peace. It's time to put the tournament back on the agenda!"
"So, it should start soon!"
Qian Renxue nodded with satisfaction. "When is the tournament starting? If I remember correctly, the age limit should be twenty-five, right?"
"Does that mean I can participate?"
Ju Douluo Yueguan suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring at Qian Renxue in shock, scrutinizing him for a moment, before realizing something.
The mighty second young master of Spirit Hall... he hasn't even reached twenty-five yet?!
Moreover, he seems to be barely fifteen!!
And yet, he has already suppressed dozens of Title Douluo and even killed Super Douluo-level experts?!
This is not just about suppressing his peers! This is like suppressing the heavens themselves!!
Ju Douluo Yueguan forced a bitter smile. "Your Excellency, are you planning to participate in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament?"
"If you participate, forget about your peers, even if the deans of the various academies personally entered the arena, they wouldn't stand a chance against you!"
"Besides, you don't seem to have an academy."
"How about you represent Spirit Hall?"
Qian Renxue smiled and shook his head. "Let's talk about it later. I'm not interested in the rewards."
"Perhaps I'll just go down and have some fun."
Tiandou City
The city gates of Tiandou City have been wide open these past few days, with countless experts of all backgrounds entering and exiting through the main gate.
Apart from the academy members traveling from far and wide to compete in the tournament...
There were also various spectators coming to watch the event.
And of course, some gamblers viewed the tournament as a big betting event!
They hoped to see the contestants vying for glory, while they had a chance at turning their fortunes around.
The appearance of the students from the Heavenly Water Academy had further energized the entire city.
Even in the talent-rich Tiandou City, seeing so many beauties with such extraordinary looks was a rare sight.
"Sister, this time, we absolutely must make the name of our Heavenly Water Academy known throughout the continent!"
A beautiful, lively young girl clenched her small fist and said to the girl in front of her.
Shui Binger, after hearing her words, didn't respond but simply smiled faintly. True honor must be earned by one's abilities.
Whether they can make Heavenly Water Academy famous or not, it will be decided with a single battle.
Shui Binger stood about 1.65 meters tall, with a very proportionate body, not too curvaceous nor too slim.
Her long, water-blue hair cascaded down her back, and her fair face was adorned with delicate features. At first glance, she might not seem exceptionally stunning, but upon closer inspection, one would continuously discover her beauty, which had a vague, ethereal quality.
What was most captivating was her tranquil, indifferent expression and that transcendent aura.
Not long after they left, two more figures descended.
Flying was not allowed in Tiandou City; this was a strict rule.
Especially with the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament about to begin, the rules of Tiandou City became even stricter.
Qian Renxue and Ju Douluo Yueguan didn't want to attract too much attention. As they approached Tiandou City, they simply landed and began walking.
"Hehe, Your Excellency, look at Tiandou City. We haven't seen such a bustling scene in three years!"
"It's like everyone in the entire Tiandou Empire is flocking here, hahaha."
Ju Douluo Yueguan seemed to enjoy the bustling atmosphere. He was different from other Title Douluo, who kept themselves high and mighty, like a golden chrysanthemum forever growing in the mud, relying on the earth.
Qian Renxue, while also enjoying a lively scene, didn't like it when the crowd became overwhelming.
In other words, they could be lively, just don't make it too lively for me.
"I'll first go visit my sister in the palace, and you can help the Fallen Angel Clan buy some supplies around Tiandou City."
"They've already given you the list, right?"
Ju Douluo Yueguan nodded.
The past period had indeed been very tense. Now, with this opportunity to relax, it couldn't have come at a better time.
He had been working nonstop and was beginning to feel like a slave.
After giving his instructions, Qian Renxue strolled towards the palace.
Along the way, he saw the second courtyard that used to be his, where the trees had already been destroyed, just as Bibi Dong had said.
However, after the maple trees fell, countless tender little grasses had sprouted anew from the soil.
At the Gates of Tiandou Imperial Palace
Two heavily armored soldiers directly blocked Qian Renxue's path, their long spears gleaming with silver light.
"Stop!"
"This is the palace, no entry for unauthorized people!"
Their stern tone completely disregarded the fact that just a month ago, a female angel dressed in shining silver armor and wielding a red sword had caused a massive upheaval in this so-called royal palace!
Qian Renxue didn't make things difficult for them. He then revealed a token and said with a smile, "I've been specially invited by Princess Xue Qinghe, please inform the higher-ups."
Along with the token, he also handed over a small pouch of gold coins, which the two guards quickly snatched up.
Immediately, their faces lit up with joy. "Please wait, we'll report it right away."
Suddenly, one of the guards noticed the special nature of the token in Qian Renxue's hand. He grabbed his comrade just as he was about to leave.
The two of them, temporarily blinded by the glittering gold coins, hadn't recognized the token in Qian Renxue's hand. This was the Prince's token!
With this token, it was as if the Prince himself had arrived!
"Your Excellency, please come in. It's our fault for not recognizing you. We humbly ask for your forgiveness!"
"This is the royal decree of the Prince. Anyone with this token can freely enter and exit the palace!"
As he spoke, the token and the small pouch of gold were respectfully handed back to Qian Renxue, with the guards bowing deeply, their postures humble and servile.
Qian Renxue smiled as he took back the white jade-like token. As for the pouch of gold coins, he completely ignored it and casually said, "You've had a hard time standing guard. Please treat yourselves to some tea."
