Nuclear Domination From Douluo

The guard sneered, not taking Tang Dongfeng seriously at all.

He was nothing more than some young master from a noble family, coming to the Prince's Mansion to make his presence known.

He had seen plenty of them.

How could a child of barely ten know His Highness the Crown Prince? What a joke.

"Uncle Sea Dragon."

The corners of Tang Dongfeng's lips curled up slightly before quickly returning to normal.

Sea Dragon Douluo strode toward the guard step by step.

With every step he took, a Soul Ring descended.

By the time he reached the guard, nine Soul Rings circled beneath his feet.

Two purple, six black, and one red.

Dazzling red light enveloped the entire street, forcing the guard to his knees and drawing countless gazes.

"Y-Your Excellency?"

The guard's heart jolted. Damn it, they really were here to see His Highness the Crown Prince!

That handsome young man was actually a Titled Douluo—and he even possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Terrifying!

"Why aren't you going to inform him?"

Tang Dongfeng gave Sea Dragon Douluo a look, and he immediately withdrew his Soul Rings.

After all, Sea Dragon Douluo had passed the Black-grade Six Trials. It was perfectly normal for his Soul Ring configuration to exceed the norm.

After today, news that His Highness the Crown Prince knew a Titled Douluo would probably spread throughout Heaven Dou.

Not only had he openly given Xue Qinghe another powerful ally.

He had also drawn Xue Ye's attention. Xue Ye would definitely have Xue Qinghe try to win them over.

And to win over a Titled Douluo with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he would have to show sufficient sincerity.

The Heaven Dou Empire's finest gift was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

In other people's eyes, that thing was useless, perhaps even an evil artifact.

"Brother Dongfeng, Sea Dragon Your Excellency, Qinghe greets you."

Xue Qinghe jogged over from the crown prince's residence.

With such a huge commotion outside, how could he not appear enthusiastic?

"You two talk. I'll go take a look around."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sea Dragon Douluo vanished again.

"Brother Xue, Uncle Sea Dragon doesn't like strangers. Please forgive him."

Tang Dongfeng had already achieved his goal. As for whether Sea Dragon Douluo was still around, that no longer mattered.

"Brother Dongfeng, didn't I give you a personal token yesterday? What are you doing here again?"

Xue Qinghe truly did not believe that Tang Dongfeng had lost the token.

But she could not figure out his purpose for the moment. Surely he had not done this just to make himself look impressive?

"Sorry, Brother Xue. I lost the token yesterday!"

Tang Dongfeng put on an embarrassed expression.

The token was probably lying in his Soul Tool, destined to gather dust from now on.

"Brother Dongfeng, with your habit of losing things, you mustn't lose this one again. I've worn this jade pendant since childhood. It's one of a kind."

Xue Qinghe reached beneath his collar, pulled out a golden feather-shaped pendant, and handed it to Tang Dongfeng.

This pendant could be used throughout the Prince's Mansion, as well as the Worship Hall and Elder Hall.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Tang Dongfeng accepted the pendant. It still carried a faint aura of light.

There was even a subtle fragrance, somewhat like the scent of milk.

Then he tied the pendant's cord around his wrist.

He even raised his left hand and shook it at Xue Qinghe, showing that he would not lose it.

"Brother Dongfeng, come in quickly. Let me show you around the Prince's Mansion."

Xue Qinghe familiarly grabbed his wrist and tried to pull him into the Prince's Mansion.

As long as she could tie Tang Dongfeng to her circle of interests, all this effort would not have been wasted.

"Brother Xue, perhaps next time. I came to the Prince's Mansion today to bid you farewell."

Tang Dongfeng suddenly stopped and did not follow him inside.

Haste made waste.

He was still young. He should cultivate diligently and wait until the plot began before emerging to strategize.

Tang Dongfeng had carefully questioned Ye Lingling along the way. Based on the current situation, there was probably still more than a year before Tang San and the others entered Shrek Academy.

Honestly, he did not like this feeling of being out of control.

Without the advantage of foresight, he would keep a low profile and cultivate as much as possible, raising his strength first.

"Brother Dongfeng, was I neglectful toward you yesterday? Are you angry with me?"

Xue Qinghe's expression changed slightly. She had finally encountered an inheritor of a god—how could she let him go so easily?

If Spirit Hall had two gods, along with Tang Dongfeng, the Sea God, would the world not be theirs for the taking?

"Brother Xue, you must have misunderstood. I've been sneaking around outside for nearly five years now. A few days ago, Sister Xiao Xi sent word to Uncle Sea Dragon, telling him to tie me up and bring me home. I'm afraid it'll be another year or two before I can sneak out again."

Tang Dongfeng's eyes dimmed slightly, and he looked both unhappy and reluctant to leave.

Like a child who did not want to go home, forcibly dragged back by his family and filled with rebellious resentment.

"What a pity. Brother Xue had wanted to take you around Heaven Dou City for a few days."

Xue Qinghe fell into thought.

The home Tang Dongfeng spoke of should be Sea God Island!

Her grandfather had once said that Sea God Island's High Priest was called Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi, and that he had once lost to her.

That invincible figure of the seas was likely the Sister Xiao Xi Tang Dongfeng had mentioned.

Still, Xue Qinghe found it regrettable that she had been unable to recruit Tang Dongfeng immediately.

"Once I sneak out again, I'll definitely come find you, Brother Xue."

Tang Dongfeng looked like a playful child, constantly thinking about escaping his family's control.

After all, his age was right there.

"All right, then. Brother Dongfeng, don't forget me after you go home."

Xue Qinghe was not in high spirits. This great help had practically fallen into her lap, yet he was leaving before she could recruit him. She could only maintain their relationship for now.

"Brother Xue, rest one hundred and twenty-two thousand percent assured. I'll never forget you."

Tang Dongfeng waved his left hand, which wore the feather pendant, then turned and left directly.

When the big civet cat and little fox met again, it would be two years later, shortly before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament began.

An Ordinary Soul Grandmaster. After Tang Dongfeng and Sea Dragon Douluo left, they went to a small island near a coastal city.

It was not until one year and four months later that the two of them reappeared on the continent.

Balak Kingdom, Suotuo City.

On the broad official road, one large and one small figure strolled forward at an unhurried pace.

"Dongfeng, aren't we going straight to Heaven Dou City? What are we doing in this dump?"

Sea Dragon Douluo was rather confused.

When they had left, Tang Dongfeng had clearly said they were going to Heaven Dou City to find Xue Qinghe.

Tang Dongfeng was determined to obtain the Heaven Dou royal family's Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

"I heard there's an academy near Suotuo City that only accepts monsters. I plan to take a look."

Over the past year or so, Tang Dongfeng's Soul Power had only increased by two levels, barely meeting Shrek's admission requirements.

At eleven and a half years old, he was a level twenty-three Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.

That sounded fairly good.

It just remained to be seen whether Shrek had what it took to accept him.

"A monster? You don't count as one. At the very least, you're a prodigy."

Sea Dragon Douluo answered with a straight face.

In his view, no academy was capable of teaching Tang Dongfeng.

That included Sea God Island's academy. It was not qualified to instruct an inheritor of a god.

"Is that so?"

A faint smile appeared on Tang Dongfeng's lips.

In Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes, he was unquestionably a peerless prodigy, a noble inheritor of a god.

But in most people's eyes, he was merely a minor genius.

After all, the truly gifted had already become Soul Elders by the age of twelve.

By the time he turned twelve, he would probably only have level twenty-four Soul Power.

He only gained one or two levels a year.
