"If I really get into the idea of recruiting talent, my good brother will probably kill me right away."
Do you understand?
Xue Beng looked at his personal guard and asked.
The guard immediately bowed his head. "Your Highness, I understand. You have no choice but to do this. The more arrogant and conceited you are, the more people you offend, the more the Crown Prince will trust you and feel that you pose no threat. Therefore, he will not kill you, and you can keep your life and secretly plot against him."
"Well, if that's the case, then let's go and meet Yu Tianheng. I'm also very curious to know what abilities this young patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possesses."
Half an hour later, Xue Beng, accompanied by his guards, strode quickly toward the location of the Heaven's Chosen Society.
At the same time, he also ordered people to spread rumors that the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Beng, was going to cause trouble for Yu Tianheng.
The moment this news broke, the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy was in an uproar. Countless students stopped their cultivation and rushed over, eager to witness the spectacle.
In front of the gate of the Heaven's Chosen Society.
Clad in splendid attire, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Beng, stood proudly, his attitude arrogant. "Go, summon Yu Tianheng here. I want to ask him some questions in person!"
A moment later, Yu Tianheng led his men over and looked at the newcomer. Although Yu Tianheng had never seen Xue Beng in person and did not know what he looked like, he knew from the other party's clothes that the young man dressed as a playboy was Xue Beng. Behind him was also a group of noble children who were close to the royal family. Most of these noble children disliked Yu Tianheng.
They thought he was just an outsider. Although he came from a distinguished family, he was not a nobleman. Why should he be able to do whatever he wanted at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and be so arrogant?
They had considered teaching Yu Tianheng a lesson and expelling him from the academy, but their strength simply wouldn't allow it.
After all, Yu Tianheng's record speaks for itself. He easily defeated Lei Long, the son of the arrogant Imperial Marshal. Furthermore, it is rumored that he has now reached the level of Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, with his strength greatly increased. Coupled with the terrifying combat ability of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, which is invincible among its peers, anyone who dares to attack him is simply courting death!
However, with a prince leading the way, there is something that can be done.
"Are you Yu Tianheng, the president of the Heaven's Chosen Society?" Xue Beng asked first.
Yu Tianheng nodded. "That's right, I am. Are you the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng?"
Xue Beng nodded. "Yes, that is it, I am the prince."
"Oh, so what brings Your Highness the Fourth Prince here this time?" Yu Tianheng asked. To be honest, he only wanted to focus on developing his own power and didn't want to provoke anyone, especially not anyone involved in the struggle for the throne.
Therefore, as long as the Xue Beng isn't too severe, we can handle it casually.
He couldn't care less what happened next.
"Haha!" Xue Beng laughed loudly, pointing at Yu Tianheng and shouting, " Yu Tianheng, I've heard about your deeds. You're very arrogant! You even dared to beat up Lei Long, the son of the Imperial Marshal, and threatened him to leave the academy. You're even more arrogant than me! Who gave you the audacity to do this? Don't you know that every blade of grass and every tree in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is a gift from the royal family?"
"You are merely a disciple of a sect, not even a nobleman, yet you dare to establish your own power base right under the empire's nose?"
"Who gave you that confidence?"
"Now I, the prince, am giving you a choice: either disband the Heaven's Chosen Society, or abdicate and hand over the position of association leader to me."
"In that case, I, the prince, will let bygones be bygones."
"Remember, within the Heaven Dou Empire, anyone who attempts to surpass the royal family will be severely punished. Now, state your choice!"
Xue Beng spoke at length, his attitude resolute.
Yu Tianheng knew that Xue Beng Beng's current actions were all an act, not real. In reality, he was a prince who respected and valued talent. However, upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng was still quite displeased!
If you want to play the spoiled brat, go do it somewhere else! Why drag yourself into this? Do you really think Yu Tianheng is easy to bully?
At this moment, Yu Tianheng decided that no matter whether the Xue Beng was faked or staged, he would teach the other party a lesson and fulfill his reputation as a good-for-nothing.
Seeing that Yu Tianheng's expression was off, Song Guan, who was standing next to him, whispered a reminder: " Brother Tian, calm down. Although I also dislike this damned Fourth Prince, he is, after all, the son of Xue Ye. If you beat him up directly, you might feel good, but you'll be in big trouble."
Therefore, you must think twice before acting!
Yu Tianheng said, "I know what I'm doing." After saying that, he slowly walked out from the inner hall. He looked down at the Xue Beng and suddenly chuckled. The laughter was clear and bright, like tearing silk, and it echoed in the hall.
"The Fourth Prince is quite imposing."
Yu Tianheng's fingertips twitched slightly, and purple lightning gathered in his palm. "Unfortunately, the position of president of the Heaven's Chosen Society cannot be obtained with mere words; strength is also required." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and slashed, and a Thunder trench more than ten feet wide suddenly exploded between the two of them, crackling with electric arcs and filling the air with a pungent smell of burning.
Purple lightning surged within the ravine, emitting deafening roars that caused the ground to tremble slightly. Yu Tianheng stood with his arms crossed, his eyes as cold as frost. "If the Fourth Prince can cross this lightning ravine, I, Yu Tianheng, Heaven's Chosen Society relinquish the position of President of the Heavenly Pride Association."
As he finished speaking, Yu Tianheng's Soul Power aura subtly emanated, echoing the power of Thunder.
"I advise Your Highness to think carefully—the Thunder I unleash is indiscriminate; if it damages your noble status, we cannot bear the consequences."
Xue Beng was startled upon hearing this, but his face showed disdain. "Your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul possesses the ability to control lightning, but you think you can stop me with just a single bolt of lightning without even releasing your Soul Skill? Aren't you underestimating me?"
"If you don't believe me, you can try it!" Yu Tianheng replied.
Xue Beng folded his folding fan and tried to walk forward, but was stopped by his personal guard.
"Your Highness, please let me try first," the guard said.
After hearing this, Xue Beng thought to himself: Although my position in the royal family is awkward because of my elder brother, and I have no real power, even my personal guards are only Three-Ring Soul Master with mediocre strength, Yu Tianheng is only Four-Ring cultivator now and has not even used his Soul Skill. Sending guards forward, even if we don't gain any advantage, there shouldn't be any problems.
With this thought in mind, Xue Beng nodded slightly, "Since you have this intention, then go ahead. As long as you can get through, this prince will reward you handsomely!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." After saying this, the guard quickly walked towards the ravine where the power of Thunder had gathered.
This bodyguard was broad-shouldered and burly, his entire body covered in silver-white armor. He let out a low growl and sprinted forward.
