After Xu Yuanxuan communicated with the Prince's Mansion, the group was led into the Prince's Mansion.
The entire Prince's Mansion was extremely luxurious and had a distinctly modern style. It was guarded by a large number of people, each of whom was very powerful, making it appear extremely secure.
After passing through numerous guards, the group arrived at a magnificent hall, which appeared to be the main reception hall of the Prince's mansion.
After a short wait, an extremely tall man, who looked to be over fifty years old, entered the hall and sat directly in the main seat in the center.
This person is extremely powerful. Even though Xu Zhengyang has experienced a lot of training, he still felt that this person was full of killing intent, unlike ordinary Soul Engineer who lack experience.
Xu Yuanxuan quickly led everyone in bowing. " Xu Yuanxuan, on behalf of the Xu Clan of Dongyang City, greets Your Highness."
The old man on the main seat smiled and nodded slightly, "Yuan Xuan, don't be so reserved. After all, we are all from the Sun Radiance Lineage, and we are practically family. Just call me the head of the family."
After saying this, Prince Xu Tianyuan looked at everyone present, exuding an imposing aura.
"Indeed, I have received your letter. The Xu Clan has produced a promising talent this year; they haven't disappointed me."
Xu Zhengyang felt a chill run down his spine. Xu Tianyuan in front of him was Titled Douluo- level expert. Only when you are directly facing an expert of this level can you feel the pressure. There are absolutely no weaklings who can break through to the Titled Douluo.
Xu Yuanxuan quickly interjected, "Patriarch, among all the children this year, Haoyang's son, Zhengyang, has performed the best. Although he is only twelve years old, he is already a level thirty-three Soul Elder. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to enter the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy."
Xu Zhengyang quickly said, "Greetings, Patriarch."
Xu Tianyuan didn't speak, but stared at Xu Zhengyang for a moment. A terrifying aura suddenly burst out from his body. Xu Zhengyang felt a force like a tsunami crashing down on him, as if he was about to be crushed.
But Xu Zhengyang gritted his teeth and used all his strength to stand up straight. As the power grew stronger, Xu Zhengyang's Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear appeared in his hand, and at the same time, three Soul Ring appeared on his body: one yellow and two purple.
Xu Zhengyang used the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear to support his body. The immense pressure was transmitted to the ground through the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear, which caused him to bend over, but he did not kneel down.
Xu Tianyuan seemed to have taken a liking to it, and the pressure he put on Xu Zhengyang increased. Xu Zhengyang could only desperately grip the Tiger-Head Zhan Gold Spear, trying his best to keep his body upright and not let himself kneel down.
Just then, the terrifying power vanished without a trace, and Xu Zhengyang breathed a sigh of relief. Even so, his entire body was already soaked in sweat, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Xu Tianyuan nodded. "That's right. In terms of physical fitness and Martial Soul cultivation, few can compare to Zhengyang. However, Zhengyang, you must remember this: my Sun Radiance Lineage controls the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Legion, so you must also study the use of Soul Tool more, otherwise you will ultimately be just one person and it will be difficult for you to achieve anything."
Xu Zhengyang quickly replied, "Thank you for your guidance, Patriarch. I will strengthen my research on Soul Tool after entering the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy."
Xu Tianyuan said, " The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is a good place. I also graduated from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. You can study there with peace of mind. As long as you don't cause any major trouble, no one can look down on the Xu Clan."
The meeting lasted for more than half an hour. Xu Tianyuan asked questions, and Xu Yuanxuan gave some reports, including the situation in Dongyang City. They even reminisced about the past from time to time.
Xu Zhengyang then realized that, in terms of seniority, Xu Tianyuan was actually of the same generation as his father, but there was a significant age difference between them. Xu Tianyuan was estimated to be close to sixty years old, while his father was only around forty.
Although they are both from the Sun Radiance Lineage, their relationship is quite ancient, and their blood ties have become very weak.
Xu Tianyuan was like a very serious soldier, with extremely decisive manners and words. He was more like an iron-blooded soldier, worthy of being the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineering Legion.
After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Xu Zhengyang felt a sense of disorientation, never expecting to be connected with such an important figure.
It's important to know that Xu Tianyuan's identity is not so simple. He is not only the patriarch of the Sun Radiance Lineage of the Xu Clan, but also one of the most noble princes in the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Radiance Lineage can be said to be the strongest lineage of the Xu Clan, with a large number of people in Mingdu and even a dominant position in the royal family.
The Xu Clan's main Martial Soul are the Sun, the Moon, and the Purple Brilliant Heaven-Destroying Dragon. Among them, the Purple Brilliant Heaven-Destroying Dragon is the most powerful, but its numbers are also extremely small, mainly consisting of the direct line of the royal family, such as the emperor and the crown prince.
Back at the hotel, Xu Zhengyang had a real talk with his father. He knew he would be staying in Mingdu for a long time, so he needed his father to explain the complex relationships within Mingdu, as well as his father's experiences there Mingdu some things to be aware of.
As far as the Xu Clan's Sun Radiance Lineage is concerned, whether it is Xu Yuanxuan, Xu Haoyang, or Xu Zhengyang himself, they are all just losers, just a group of people exiled to Dongyang City, and they will not be valued at all.
Only by performing exceptionally well and demonstrating formidable strength can one gain a foothold in Mingdu; otherwise, one will ultimately have to return to Dongyang City, which is akin to a disguised form of exile.
However, Dongyang City was not as peaceful as he had imagined. People from the Xu Clan's Sun Radiance branch were stationed there, partly to prevent attacks from the Sea Soul Beast on the Ice Sea, and partly to prevent Dongyang City from becoming a breakthrough point for the Heaven Soul Empire. In a sense, it was already considered the front line.
In the original novel, Huo Yuhao threatened the Sun Moon Empire to withdraw its troops by occupying Dongyang City. Although there was only sea Dongyang City, the armies of the Heaven Soul Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire could indeed cross the Extreme North or even the sea, leaving Dongyang City completely unprepared.
Xu Zhengyang gradually came to understand that the so-called status of a collateral descendant of the Xu Clan family was both an honor and a constraint. Everything he had obtained was not free; it was earned by his father and the Xu Clan of Dongyang City through their desperate struggles. Perhaps this was the tragedy of being a collateral descendant.
Xu Zhengyang also carefully reviewed the situation in Mingdu in the original work. Although the overall description was not extensive, he was able to basically understand the intricate relationships within Mingdu.
Xu Tianyuan, the patriarch of the Sun Radiance Lineage, was a supporter of Crown Prince Xu Tianran. In a sense, his family had become a supporter of the Crown Prince. However, Xu Tianran was problematic. He was very talented and capable, but his mentality was twisted. Most importantly, he was unable to reproduce. It was this twisted mentality that led to a series of tragedies.
If Xu Tianran had a normal mindset, with his talent, and without Huo Yuhao interfering, he might have truly been able to unify the entire Douluo Continent.
" Xu Tianran? Should I support you, or should I destroy you?"
