I have already become a Titled Douluo, and I am just now coming to the system?

Liu Erlong asked in a low voice, "Boss Fu, do we still need to arrange for replacement players now?"

Flanders nodded. "Why do we need substitutes? Too many people would just be a burden. If the competition didn't have a minimum number of players, I think the Shrek team would only need one player, Your Majesty."

Liu Erlong, on the other hand, nodded in agreement. Indeed, the fate of a Titled Douluo was definitely a dimensionality reduction blow.

Not to mention the teams composed of Soul Masters, Soul Sects, and Soul Kings, even a team composed of Soul Douluos could not be Qin Xiao's opponent.

Apart from anything else, the two elders of the Haotian Sect are the best examples.

"Hey, Erlong, are you saying I'm really not dreaming?"

"His Majesty is actually willing to participate in the Soul Master Competition."

Until now, Flanders still has a feeling of unreality.

boom.

Suddenly, Liu Erlong swung his fist and knocked Flanders to the ground.

"Erlong, what are you doing?"

Flanders stood up, still swaying.

He kept rubbing his head with his hands.

Somewhat annoyed.

Liu Erlong asked calmly, "Do you feel any pain?"

"It hurts." Flanders answered without thinking.

"If it hurts, then it's not a dream..."

After hearing Liu Erlong's words, Flanders felt powerless. "Am I doubting it? I'm just expressing my feelings. Do you understand?"

"Ah this..."

Liu Erlong felt embarrassed.

And at this time.

Qin Xiao has returned to his residence.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he arrived in front of Qin Xiao.

She originally wanted to throw herself into Qin Xiao's arms, but she suppressed the impulse.

"Your Majesty, you are finally back." Meng Yiran's face showed a look of relief.

She listened to what Liu Erlong said about Qin Xiao, but even though she knew that Qin Xiao was the winner, she still couldn't help but worry.

At this moment, it felt like a huge stone fell to the ground in my heart.

"never mind."

Qin Xiao took two steps forward, gently embraced Meng Yiran, and patted the girl's back.

He had no other thoughts, just comforting her.

Meng Yiran took advantage of the situation and gently leaned into Qin Xiao's arms.

After a while.

Qin Xiao put down his hand and said, "You haven't fallen behind in your cultivation these days, have you?"

"It never stops for a moment."

Meng Yiran broke free from Qin Xiao's arms and spoke seriously.

She even showed off her strength as if she was presenting a treasure.

"Not bad, keep up the good work."

Qin Xiao nodded.

Indeed, Meng Yiran's strength has improved.

However, this is still too slow, and practicing in isolation is not advisable.

Qin Xiao immediately made arrangements for Meng Yiran, "From today on, you and Zhu Zhuqing will train with the Shrek members as usual. After the training is over, I will temper your bodies individually. Your strength should improve much faster."

"Yi Ran, I understand." Meng Yi Ran nodded slightly.

She had no objection to Qin Xiao's arrangement.

"Now go find Flanders or Liu Erlong. They are in the square of the academy."

"I understand." Meng Yiran agreed and turned to leave the room.

Swish.

After Meng Yiran left, Qin Xiao had a box in his hand.

This is the reward for completing the mission.

Open the box and you will get a hundred thousand year old soul bone.

"I now have the left arm bone of the Titan Ape, the left leg bone of the Demonic Killer Whale King, the right arm bone of the Azure Bull Python, and the torso bone of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King..."

Qin Xiao fell into deep thought for a moment. "And what about the skull? Which location should I choose? If it conflicts with the future location, it will be a waste."

...

the other side.

Tiandou Palace.

Outside the bedroom of Emperor Xue Ye.

"Father, I beg to see you."

Xue Qinghe said in a deep voice outside the hall.

Not long after.

The voice of Emperor Xue Ye was heard from inside the hall.

"Come in and talk."

As the voice fell, the door was opened by the waiter.

...

Inside the palace.

Emperor Xue Ye was half leaning on the bed.

Weakness was written all over his face.

"What happened again?" he asked with all his strength.

"Replying to Father, Qin Xiao is back."

"I entered Tiandou City openly and honestly, and after returning to Lanba Academy, I didn't leave again."

Xue Qinghe went straight to the point.

He also knew that Emperor Xue Ye didn't like people who talked too much.

After all, Emperor Xue Ye's time is very precious.

Every day, there are hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye uttered a soft "Oh," "So, the Haotian Sect really can't do anything to Qin Xiao."

He had also been paying close attention to Qin Xiao's affairs, and naturally knew about the attack by the elders of the Haotian Sect.

I also know that Qin Xiao has detained an elder of the Haotian Sect...

Originally, he and Xue Qinghe both believed that the Haotian Sect would not let it go.

But now it seems that the Haotian Sect is just all talk and no action.

"It seems that the Haotian Sect has really declined..." Xue Qinghe couldn't help but sigh.

however.

Emperor Xue Ye shook his head, disagreeing with Xue Qinghe's opinion, "You are wrong. The Haotian Sect has not only not declined, but has even become stronger."

"Huh?" Xue Qinghe was startled.

"After the death of the old leader of the Haotian Sect, the Haotian Sect only had Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, known as the 'Double Douluo', who were Titled Douluo-level powerhouses. But now even the elders of the sect have two Titled Douluo. Isn't this an increase in strength?"

"Yeah..." Xue Qinghe was stunned.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed one-sided.

"If you think the Haotian Sect is weak from Qin Xiao's perspective, you're completely wrong. It's not that the Haotian Sect is weak, but... Qin Xiao is too strong."

At this point, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but sigh, "So powerful that even the Haotian Sect had to swallow its anger. If the Haotian Sect was targeting us, it would be a completely different story."

Xue Qinghe suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Emperor Xue Ye’s analysis was correct.

The Haotian Sect is actually much stronger than it used to be.

"It was my fault for neglecting it!"

Xue Qinghe quickly lowered his head and sincerely admitted his mistake.

At the same time, he was secretly admiring in his heart that Emperor Xue Ye was worthy of being the emperor of the empire. Even though he was terminally ill, he kept a cool head.

"Qinghe, as the crown prince and the future king of the empire, you must think carefully about the future."

Emperor Xue Ye spoke earnestly.

"My son, please remember your father's teachings."

Xue Qinghe really took Emperor Xue Ye's advice to heart.

"Father, please take a good rest first. I will withdraw now."

Having said everything that needed to be said, Xue Qinghe felt there was no need to stay any longer.

however.

Emperor Xue Ye stopped him, "Wait, now that Qin Xiao is back, we can proceed to the next step."

The next step, is to inherit the throne?

Xue Qinghe thought of a possibility and was shocked.

but...

He still pretended to be puzzled and said, "Please explain clearly, Father."

Emperor Xue Ye said solemnly, "Of course, I'm talking about your succession. I plan to pass the throne to you in two days."

"Father, isn't this a bit too hasty?" Xue Qinghe was shocked.

"No more rushing."

"After all, I don't have much time left."

Emperor Xue Ye looked dazed for a moment before continuing, "Actually, I've been secretly planning this since your last meeting with Qin Xiao. I've even transferred Marshal Ge Long back to the Imperial City. He should be arriving soon, right?"

"It's just that I was worried that there wouldn't be anyone strong enough to protect you, so I didn't dare to tell anyone about this. I was afraid that if the news leaked out, someone would plot against you. But now that Qin Xiao has returned, your safety is guaranteed.

Send someone to invite him into the palace now, and when everything is settled, the favor he owes you will be repaid."

After listening to Emperor Xue Ye's words, Xue Qinghe was silent for a moment, then asked, "Father, what about Uncle Wang and Xue Beng?"

call...

Emperor Xue Ye heaved a sigh of relief. "I have been frail and sickly these years, and Xue Xing has helped me take care of many things. But now that you have grown up and can handle things on your own, you will naturally have to shoulder more responsibilities. He has worked so hard for the empire for so many years, it is time for him to enjoy a peaceful life.

As for Avalanche... I think he should go to his own fiefdom and gain some experience."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe was shocked.

As expected, the imperial family is the most ruthless.

Simply put, Xue Xing was stripped of all her rights and placed under house arrest in Tiandou City.

Xue Beng was exiled to a remote place, away from the center of power.
