Chapter 73 Winter Break (4) — How did I run into another "Dai Shengxi"?
"Make way! I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me? You're blocking the way!"
Qian Yuhan heard a commotion behind her and saw a richly dressed young man walking over.
A woman in a blue and white dress standing next to him said, "Make way, our fourth young master needs to go through."
Qian Yuhan rolled her eyes inwardly. Another "Dai Shengxi"...
"Can't you walk around in such a big place?" Qian Yuhan replied coldly.
"You—" The woman was about to say something when the young master next to her raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Hello, young man. My name is Ning Kaiwen. I am the fourth son of Ning Yuan, the current sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Please make way for me and don't block my way."
Qian Yuhan's good mood was completely ruined. Hearing Ning Kaiwen speak like that, she immediately confronted him, smiling as she said to Ning Kaiwen, "No, there's a road over there. Please go that way, thank you."
Ning Kaiwen understood the meaning behind Qian Yuhan's words perfectly; she was all smiles on the surface, but her words were full of sarcasm...
"Do you really want to die? I'll give you another chance since you're not from the Heavenly Dou Empire and I know you're from out of town..."
Qian Yuhan remained unfazed, still smiling as she replied, "No need, thank you. The view is better here, so I won't go any further."
"You—" Ning Kaiwen was also angered by Qian Yuhan's sarcastic manner, and he could hardly speak properly.
"You bastard! How dare you speak to the Fourth Young Master like that!" The woman next to Ning Kaiwen couldn't hold back any longer and cursed angrily.
Qian Yuhan, however, wore an innocent expression, spread her hands, and asked, "Was there something wrong with how I spoke to your fourth young master just now? Wasn't I being very respectful to him?"
"You—" The woman was speechless for a moment when asked the question.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Hahaha, this guy is amazing!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Hahahaha!"
……
The onlookers couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, some even giving Qian Yuhan a thumbs-up in approval.
Ning Kaiwen abandoned his previous gentlemanly demeanor and pointed directly at Qian Yuhan, saying, "Fine, fine! You just wait!"
"Okay, I'll wait. I'll just enjoy the view from here," Qian Yuhan nodded in response.
Ning Kaiwen's eyes twitched, and he walked away with the woman beside him and a few followers.
Qian Yuhan guessed that he had gone to find someone to deal with him. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was one of the three major schools in the Heaven Dou Empire, second only to the Clear Sky School in strength and higher than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School.
Ning Kaiwen claimed to be the son of the current sect leader, Ning Yuan, which meant he was undoubtedly a direct descendant of the inner sect. His martial soul was certainly the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, making him a support-type soul master with no combat ability. That woman, she was probably just a kept woman; there wasn't a single trace of soul power fluctuation—not the kind of powerful figure deliberately masking their soul power, but genuinely none. Qian Yuhan could tell the difference; if she were truly a powerful figure, she would have already made her move…
If Ning Kaiwen really intends to recruit people to cause trouble for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Aunt Xiaona is probably registering me at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy right now, and I don't know anyone in Heaven Dou City. Aunt Xiaona is a Soul Douluo powerhouse; without her protection, if a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint comes along, that would be a real problem.
Watching them leave, Qian Yuhan then turned and ran off: "I'm going shopping to see the sights too, that's right, that's right..."
Qian Yuhan was disdainful of his own plan to run away, but he had no choice. He had no one to protect him, and what could a Soul Master do?
At the same time, I was speechless. Seriously, I've encountered another outrageous rich kid... Before, I encountered Dai Shengxi who cut in line and got angry when I didn't let him. Now I've encountered a rich kid who's trying to get attention and demands that I move aside. He got angry when I didn't let him. The thing is, the whole square isn't crowded. Can't he move out of such a big open space?
Qian Yuhan left the plaza; the little incident hadn't disrupted her plans. The arena tournament didn't start until tomorrow and would last three days. Qian Yuhan planned to observe on the first day and begin fighting on the second.
After all, once you register, you can fight anytime within the time frame. This is also a great test for the champion, because the moment you become the champion, you have to be prepared to keep fighting.
Qian Yuhan strolled leisurely along the wide and clean sidewalk of Tiandou Avenue, his pace unhurried, as if enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. The tall and magnificent buildings on both sides of the road were arranged in a well-organized manner, showcasing the prosperity and flourishing of the city.
At the same time, exquisitely decorated carriages sped past him, the sounds of hooves and wheels blending together like a beautiful symphony. Some carriages were pulled by magnificent horses with jewels adorning their bodies; others boasted unique designs, brimming with artistic flair. Each carriage represented the different status and position of its owner, yet together they formed a distinctive scene on the streets of Tiandou City.
As people say, Heaven Dou City truly lives up to its reputation as the most prosperous city on the entire Douluo Continent. Merchants and travelers from all directions flock here, the streets bustling with activity and lively chatter. A dazzling array of shops sells all sorts of goods, from rare soul tools to delicious food—everything imaginable. Moreover, Heaven Dou City boasts many renowned academies and martial arts schools, attracting countless young soul masters to study and cultivate. It can be said that this city not only possesses material wealth but also a profound cultural heritage and powerful martial soul force.
As Qian Yuhan watched, he pondered to himself: Indeed, the strength of the Heaven Dou Empire stemmed from its open policies; the Spirit Hall could no longer remain closed off.
The current situation on the continent is that of the two great empires, Heaven Dou and Star Luo. Heaven Dou focuses on commerce, while Star Luo focuses on the research and development of soul tools. The Spirit Hall serves as a buffer between the two empires, and neither empire can afford to underestimate its soul master resources. Furthermore, the Spirit Hall is neutral and geographically located between the capitals of the two empires, which has prevented much warfare on the Douluo Continent in recent centuries.
However, if either side breaks this balance, war will break out instantly! The current development momentum of the Heavenly Battle is too strong. Its economic strength and the reserves of Soul Masters are increasing every year, and the rate of increase is getting bigger and bigger.
Qian Yuhan was quite interested in such matters and naturally knew more about them. That's why he wanted the Spirit Hall to adopt an open policy, absorbing top-tier Spirit Masters. While the strategy of recruiting genius Spirit Masters was sound, the development of ordinary Spirit Masters and the Spirit Hall's own economic strength also needed to be prioritized. They couldn't blindly focus on these top talents at the top; the common people and ordinary Spirit Masters at the bottom were the foundation of development!
As Qian Yuhan walked, she kept thinking. Passing a shop that sold only children's toys, she suddenly remembered her playing cards!
He was too busy and had long forgotten about it; the playing cards were secondary. The most important thing was that many things in Douluo Continent were different from the original world, so he could use these differences to develop himself and capture the market. This would both develop the economy and attract people...
Lost in thought, Qian Yuhan looked up and saw that she had arrived at the entrance of the Tiandou Hotel. The five large, gold-plated characters "Tiandou Hotel" were particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.
