Douluo: The Pope at the beginning, suppressing Haotian

Chapter 46 The Battle of Princes
Star Luo City

As the royal city of the Xingluo Empire, it is also the most prosperous city in the Xingluo Empire.

Princes and nobles can be seen everywhere here.

On both sides of the road, there are small stalls and vendors struggling to make a living, and horse-drawn carriages pass by in the middle of the road from time to time.

Compared to Tiandou City, where carriages sped on the roads without caring about the impact from time to time, the order in Xingluo City was obviously much better.

This is not to say that the officials and the people in Xingluo are so close to each other, but because the majesty of the Xingluo Emperor in the Xingluo Empire is far from comparable to the majesty of Emperor Xue Ye in the Tiandou Empire.

The powerful and wealthy are extremely afraid of the Xingluo Emperor, so they will be particularly well-behaved in Xingluo City, for fear of angering the emperor.

As for other places, the situation in the two empires is actually similar.

As countries that believe in strength, Xingluo City is very different from Tiandou City.

There aren't many places with singing and dancing here, but the scale of the Great Soul Fighting Arena far exceeds that of the Tiandou Empire.

"What a huge fighting arena!" Ning Rongrong held the Star Luo Empire's special dessert in one hand, glanced at the fighting arena not far away, which was so big that it was difficult to see the edge, and said with a little surprise.

"Compared to Tiandou City, this place doesn't seem to be as extravagant and decadent."

Ning Rongrong came to the Spirit Hall at the age of three. The last time she went to Tiandou City was three years ago. But this is her impression of Tiandou City. The things that the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can see are definitely different from those of ordinary people, and the situation there is evident.

Pei An shook his head slightly: "No, actually they are all the same."

His eyes were deep, and the fighting arena was reflected in his eyes.

"It's just that one is on the surface, and the other is hidden in the darkness."

The debauchery of the Tiandou Imperial City is superficial, while the extravagance of the Xingluo Empire is hidden among other things.

For example, the fighting arena in front of us.

The fighting-loving Xingluo people are particularly keen on this form of entertainment, which means a huge market for profit.

Almost all the fighting spirit arenas on the continent were established by the seven major spirit master families. The fact that Xingluo City's large fighting spirit arena allowed them to spend so much money to build it on such a large scale shows that this large fighting spirit arena can bring them huge benefits.

After all, the seven soul master families are not charitable organizations. The only thing that can make them plunder is more benefits.

Off-track betting is the largest source of income.

Fighting souls, gambling, this unparalleled sense of excitement undoubtedly suits the appetite of the people of Xingluo.

The money involved is even more than what is found in those magnificent and decadent places of entertainment in the Tiandou Empire.

Gambling, one thought is heaven, one thought is hell, and heaven is mostly false, hell is the essence.

There are many people in Xingluo City who have lost their fortunes because of a bet.

Moreover, things like fighting spirits will inevitably give rise to some gray industries.

Trafficking, illegal drugs, threats...

The harm it causes is even worse than the brothels in the Tiandou Empire.

Ning Rongrong nodded thoughtfully, not quite understanding what he meant.

Pei An did not explain, although Ning Rongrong would definitely understand these gray areas in the future, whether as a disciple of the Pope or the next leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

But she is still young and her values ​​are not fully mature yet, so there is no need to know too much too early.

"Teacher, can we go inside and take a look?" Ning Rongrong pointed to the large fighting spirit arena not far away and pulled Pei An's sleeve.

"Yeah." Pei An did not refuse.

Although he didn't want Ning Rongrong to be exposed to those dark things too early, but as the name suggests, those things are hidden in the darkness.

There doesn't seem to be any major problems on the surface of the Great Soul Fighting Arena, it's just an ordinary soul fighting arena.

It might be a little bloody, but it's within an acceptable range.

"You two, are you here to watch the game or to fight?"

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Great Fighting Spirit Arena, a staff member came to greet him. "Watch the game. Arrange the next one in the box." Pei An took out a gold card and said lightly.

The staff member took the gold card and the smile on his face became even more flattering.

As someone who can work in the Xingluo City Soul Fighting Arena, he naturally has enough knowledge.

The moment he took the gold card, he recognized its origin.

The top card of the Spirit Bank. Those who can have this card are almost all big figures in the Spirit Hall.

The two people in front of him were not very old, and they should be descendants of a high-ranking official of the Spirit Hall.

This kind of person cannot be neglected.

"Okay, please follow me." The servant bent slightly and led Pei An and the other person to a private room.

The box is located on the upper floor, and you can have a panoramic view of the fighting arena below.

"Sir, do you need any other service?" the servant asked in an ambiguous tone.

Although Pei An is accompanied by the little girl Ning Rongrong, some second-generation rich and powerful people cannot be simply judged by their age.

Due to their birth and the special nature of soul masters, some second-generation soul masters, although young, can play more than anyone else. He has seen quite a few of them.

"No need." Pei An's face was slightly cold, and his tone was slightly icy.

The servant who noticed this hurriedly apologized and left quickly after Pei An waved his hand, not daring to stay any longer.

He was just an ordinary servant. If he was killed, he would probably just be given some gold soul coins and the matter would be settled. The Great Fighting Soul Arena would not offend a high-level member of the Spirit Hall because of him.

The box door slowly closed.

Ning Rongrong looked left and right in the box. It was her first time in the Soul Fighting Arena.

She was too young to be in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Ning Fengzhi couldn't possibly bring her to such a place.

When I was in the Spirit Hall, although I received fighting spirit education and saw many fighting spirits, they were only the fighting spirits within the Spirit Hall, and they were definitely very different from those here.

Pei An sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

He is very familiar with the Great Fighting Spirit Arena.

The first time he met Tang Yuehua was because he hid his identity and went to Utasol to participate in the soul fighting, and he met him when he went to Xuan Ya Pavilion.

He had participated in countless fighting spirits in the early years, but he always used different identities.

If these points are added up, it is likely that the diamond badge will not be a problem.

Soon, the fighting spirit competition began.

The host of the flying martial spirit flapped his wings and flew above the fighting arena, using the soul guide loudspeaker to speak excitedly:
"Everyone, this soul fight is different from the usual ones. The two sides in this soul fight are two princes from the Xingluo royal family!"

"Prince Dai Mubai has once again challenged Prince Davis!"

The fight between princes!

On both sides of the fighting arena, two blond boys slowly walked onto the fighting stage.

One of them looked like a child, still very young, while the other one looked like a teenager, and was much taller.

Pei An, who was sitting in the box, was slightly stunned.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I actually encountered the fighting spirits of these two princes.

Calculating the time, Dai Mubai should be around nine years old now, and Davis is six years older than him, which means he is around fifteen.

Given the age gap in the early stages, it’s no wonder that Dai Mubai was so devastated that he abandoned his fiancée and fled Xingluo City.

But looking at his appearance, Dai Mubai doesn't seem to be hit that hard yet.
