I've already become a Titled Douluo and now the System shows up?

"How can this be?"

"A Titled Douluo, unable to stop that youngster's attack?"

After hearing Du Gu Bo's words, a storm of shock and astonishment surged in Prince Xue Xing's heart.

Then, what kind of strength must this young man possess?

But, in the very next moment, he got his answer, because Qin Xiao had not concealed his strength...

"One, two, three..."

Prince Xue Xing instinctively stretched out his hand, counting the Soul Rings one by one.

And he was shocked.

"Nine rings, he, he is actually a Titled Douluo!" His voice suddenly increased by several pitches, "And his Soul Rings configuration, also..."

At this point, Prince Xue Xing didn't know what else to say.

However, Du Gu Bo added in a ghostly voice, "Quite terrifying, isn't it?"

Although he was responding to Prince Xue Xing's words, his gaze never left Qin Xiao.

On this young man, he felt an astonishing pressure.

Soul Rings of one hundred thousand years...

It really was unreasonable.

"This person, his strength must be at least above mine."

A storm of shock and astonishment also rose in Du Gu Bo's heart.

He was on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Seeing is believing, the Poison Douluo sure is arrogant and domineering."

However, Qin Xiao faced Du Gu Bo with a look of ease and leisure.

There was no helping it.

The power was there, and facing the Poison Douluo, it would be difficult for him to lose even if he wanted to.

"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose here?"

Du Gu Bo coldly asked.

"I am Qin Xiao."

Qin Xiao smiled, "I came here just to wait for you."

"Wait for me?"

The Poison Douluo was stunned, completely unprepared for such an answer from Qin Xiao.

"Let's go talk outside," said Qin Xiao as he walked towards the outside of the committee building, retracting his Soul Rings.

Mr. Dugu furrowed his brow, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he followed nonetheless.

"Mr. Dugu?"

Prince Xue Xing called out in a low voice.

In the look he gave Du Gu Bo, there was a sense of reluctance, as if to say, 'Don't leave, I can't bear this alone.'

Indeed.

With Du Gu Bo leaving, Prince Xue Xing didn't know how to handle the mess before him.

However, Du Gu Bo didn't pay much attention to him, "Prince His Highness, take care."

In truth, he also felt helpless in his heart.

I was already going to take the hit for you, what more do you want?

This, what should be done...

Prince Xue Xing watched Du Gu Bo's retreating figure getting further away, his heart in utter turmoil.

...

"Prince His Highness, what do you think?"

After a moment, President Meng asked softly.

What do I think?

Think about what?

Think about how I can't save face?

Prince Xue Xing's mentality collapsed.

It was supposed to be a rampage at the Sky Dou Royal Academy, yet nobody told me that there was a Titled Douluo in Shrek Academy.

"President Meng, you have really put me in a difficult position," lamented Prince Xue Xing, knowing he couldn't end things on a strong note and thus resorted to playing the sympathy card.

"With such a powerful figure in Shrek Academy, why didn't you inform me?"

"Now look, I have offended His Highness."

He began to complain about the Dream Divine Machine.

"That His Highness is usually so low-profile..."

"Besides, you didn't give me much chance to explain either."

"Also, please see to the next matters yourself."

The Dream Divine Machine kept waving his hands; his attitude was clear, I'm not taking the blame for this.

At the same time, he felt relieved that if it weren't for powerful figures like Qin Xiao in Shrek Academy able to restrain the Poison Douluo, the situation might have escalated into something else entirely.

But, he estimated, chances were Shrek Academy's teachers and students would leave feeling aggrieved...

"Ah, this...."

Prince Xue Xing, after hearing the words of the Dream Divine Machine, was now utterly bewildered.

What a mess this was.

He initially thought that these people from Shrek were nothing more than ants, easily crushed if he so chose.

Little did he know that a significant complication like Qin Xiao would arise.

"Cough cough..."

Prince Xue Xing cleared his throat and then made a bowing gesture toward Flander and the others, "Gentlemen, I was overzealous in protecting my nephew just now and might have spoken offensively; please accept my apology."

A true man can bend and stretch; I, a noble Prince, have already bent to apologize, that should suffice, right?

He felt that the people from Shrek Academy should at least give him some face.

But the reaction he received was unexpected.

Everyone first responded with silence, then it was Flander who eventually spoke up:

"Your Highness is a prince of the Empire, how could you be wrong?"

"For Prince His Highness to apologize, we surely cannot bear it."

Hmm? Prince Xue Xing's face stiffened, Flander's words were like an invisible slap that struck hard across his face.

Simply put, the more arrogant he had been just now, the more painful this slap was.

"Huh..."

"They have a Titled Douluo behind them, for the sake of Qin Xiao, I will endure this slight," Prince Xue Xing laughed, "Dean Flanders, right? Indeed a bold man, daring to joke with this prince."

Everyone: "...."

No one can rival this man's thick skin...

Just then, Prince Xue Xing spoke up again, "As long as you are willing to stay, the previous offers made by President Meng still stand, and my mansion is willing to add a hundred thousand golden soul coins as an allowance for the teachers and students of Shrek Academy, Dean Flanders, what do you say?"

Prince Xue Xing felt he had shown enough sincerity.

A hundred thousand golden soul coins! These destitute Soul Masters in tattered clothes shouldn't have any reason to refuse, right?

Prince Xue Xing could tell that Shrek's situation must not be very good, perhaps even very poor.

He believed that with the right stakes, the people from Shrek would surely be tempted.

If not... he would add more money.

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing?"

However, just then, the sound of Avalanche broke in.

Everyone looked behind Prince Xue Xing, seeing Avalanche staggering to his feet.

Only now, Avalanche was a sorry sight, with blood flowing from his nose and mouth.

Despite Qin Xiao having used just his aura to pressure him, it had caused him severe internal injuries, and he had passed out on the spot.

He was just now waking.

Worse still, because Qin Xiao's entrance had been so dazzling, everyone had forgotten there was such an unlucky child.

"Avalanche, step back, you have no say here at the moment," ordered Prince Xue Xing, not even looking back, as he coldly chastised.

"Uncle Wang, what happened..."

Avalanche was startled, not understanding why after a brief faint, Prince Xue Xing's attitude towards him had undergone a complete one-eighty?

Tap tap tap...

He quickly stepped forward, coming up beside Prince Xue Xing, tugging at his sleeve sorrowfully, "Uncle Wang, look at me, see how pitiful I am?"

"These lawless people show no respect for the royal majesty, they've gravely injured a prince with their heavy hands; I believe they should not only be barred from joining Sky Dou Royal Academy, but they should also be severely punished!" he said, his eyes harsh as he looked at Flander and the others.

"Damn, Dean, if you keep holding me back, it looks like Old Zhao here is going to end up with blood on his hands today," Zhao Wuji couldn't hold back any longer and was about to rush forward.

This man, he liked being threatened by others.

More importantly, when the person threatening him was far inferior in strength, that was even less tolerable.

Flander extended a hand to block Zhao Wuji behind him, and with a smile, he asked, "I wonder, how does His Highness the Prince wish to deal with us?"
