Being called a child by someone younger than himself only made Davis angrier. On the Douluo Continent, where people matured early, Davis was no longer considered a child at his age.
Some people even had children at this age.
Duke Youming tried to intercede for Davis at this moment, but before he could speak, a Titan Giant Ape suddenly appeared and dragged Davis away.
This Titan Giant Ape was naturally Little Monkey in disguise. Seeing this, Duke Youming immediately summoned his Nether Spirit Cat spirit and gave chase.
Xiao Chenlong did not obstruct them. Although Duke Youming was a Soul Douluo, he was no match for Little Monkey.
In fact, if he wasn't careful and was caught by Little Monkey, he might even be beaten half to death.
Xiao Chenlong's gaze then fell on Zhu Zhuyun, who was somewhat stunned.
He couldn't help but sigh at how exaggerated the development of the women in the Zhu Family was.
"Hey, snap out of it. Aren't you going to follow and watch?"
Zhu Zhuyun, who had snapped back to reality, saw Xiao Chenlong leisurely drinking tea and couldn't help but ask, "What was that just now..."
"My pet. Don't worry, it won't kill your fiancé. It's not time yet, after all. By the way, can you use the Spirit Fusion Skill Nether White Tiger now?"
"Yes, but the duration is very short."
After answering, Zhu Zhuyun realized why she was telling him this.
"I apologize, His Highness the Saint Son, I..."
"Please, go ahead!"
Hearing Xiao Chenlong's words, Zhu Zhuyun finally ran out.
Finally, Xiao Chenlong leisurely followed, calculating the time. It should be over by now.
Indeed, it was over.
Davis and Duke Youming lay on the ground, half-dead.
Under normal circumstances, Duke Youming wouldn't have been beaten into such a state by Little Monkey.
However, he was anxious to save someone and had underestimated Little Monkey's strength.
As a result, Little Monkey seized the opportunity, slapped him to the ground, and then ground him fiercely a couple of times.
Little Monkey was currently transformed into a Titan Giant Ape, possessing the full physical strength of a Titan Giant Ape.
The immense physical strength of a Titan Giant Ape was well-known. Duke Youming's Nether Spirit Cat spirit, while very fast, was not good at defense, and its physical toughness was also quite ordinary.
The result was the current situation. Davis had completely fainted, while Duke Youming was still conscious and could clearly feel that many of his bones were broken.
Little Monkey looked at its battle record and even showed a disdainful smile at Duke Youming.
Duke Youming himself didn't know why he could see mockery on its face.
When Zhu Zhuyun rushed over, she was also startled to see this scene.
"Father!"
She hurried to Duke Youming's side, wanting to help him up.
"Don't move!"
His bones were broken now, and if he moved around again, he might get even more injured.
Hearing Duke Youming's voice, Zhu Zhuyun slammed on the brakes again.
Xiao Chenlong, who was following behind, finally understood why the women of the Zhu family liked to wear leather clothes. Tight leather clothes could effectively prevent excessive movement.
Little Monkey saw Xiao Chenlong approaching, reverted to its original form, and landed on Xiao Chenlong's shoulder.
Xiao Chenlong patted its head and handed it a banana.
"That was a bit much. Go a little easier next time."
Little Monkey ignored him completely, peeling the banana and eating it.
Xiao Chenlong shrugged helplessly. All the animals he raised not only didn't stay home but also had strong personalities.
Zhu Zhuyun saw Xiao Chenlong at this moment and hurriedly pleaded, "Your Highness the Saint Son, please send for a Healing Soul Master."
"No need."
"Your Highness the Saint Son, if Father has offended you in any way..."
Before Zhu Zhuyun could finish speaking, Xiao Chenlong had already activated the power of the Horse Talisman, healing Davis and Duke Youming.
Duke Youming stood up at this moment, his face full of disbelief.
His injuries had healed in an instant. Even the most powerful healing soul masters on the continent couldn't achieve this.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Saint Son."
Duke Youming first thanked Xiao Chenlong, then looked at Davis beside him.
"First Prince, he..."
"Don't worry, he's fine. He'll be alright after a sleep. You can report everything that happened today to the Star Luo Emperor. I don't mind."
"His Highness the Saint Son jokes. It was the First Prince who spoke without restraint; it's only right he receives a lesson."
Xiao Chenlong merely smiled and didn't say anything further. He turned and left.
Davis, however, slept for an entire day before waking up.
Upon waking, his face was filled with terror, and he was covered in a cold sweat from fright.
"A dream? Was that just a dream? Huff... huff... Thankfully, it was only a dream."
Davis swallowed, not daring to recall the contents of the dream at all.
This dream was naturally woven by Xiao Chenlong for him, and it was based on the realistic situation of the Star Luo Empire.
In the dream, he failed in his bid to seize the throne. His spirit power was crippled, he was imprisoned, and he suffered countless humiliations and tortures.
The feeling in the dream was incredibly real. Even now that he was awake, he still felt phantom pain.
"I cannot lose. I absolutely cannot lose."
Because of this dream, Davis decided he had to be even more ruthless towards his younger brothers.
Xiao Chenlong was unaware that the dream he arranged to teach Davis a lesson had an additional effect.
He was already editing an article about the "All-Continent High-Level Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament," changing it to the "All Continent Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition."
By the time the Star Luo Emperor received Duke Youming's letter, news of the tournament's reform had already spread across the Douluo Continent.
After reading the contents of Duke Youming's letter, the Star Luo Emperor's expression was naturally displeased.
"Hmph, Spirit Hall completely disregards my Star Luo Empire!"
Though angered in his heart, she could do nothing. On the Douluo Continent, armies could indeed overwhelm Titled Douluo.
But Titled Douluo aren't fools; why would they clash head-on with an army?
Just one fact, that Titled Douluo can fly, rendered the army helpless.
At this period, the armies of the Douluo Continent had not yet mastered anti-air weaponry that could threaten Titled Douluo.
Furthermore, if a Titled Douluo employed decapitation tactics, without Titled Douluo guarding the Star Luo Royal Family, they wouldn't even know how they died.
Therefore, the Star Luo Emperor could only obediently issue a proclamation supporting the tournament's reform.
However, upon receiving the news of the reform, various factions experienced mixed emotions, some rejoicing, others grieving.
And several representative Spirit Master Academies, such as the Five Elements Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, and Spirit Hall Academy, along with some representative Sects like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and the Lower Four Sects, had all received invitations from Xiao Chenlong.
Xiao Chenlong invited them to discuss the specific matters of the tournament reform together.
Upon receiving the invitations, the various academies and sects immediately dispatched representatives to Heaven Dou City.
