Chapter 34 The struggle for the crown prince position has always been like this!
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's expression hardened, and Wang Xiao's anxious expression was reflected in his golden pupils.
He frowned slightly, a flash of golden light passing through his eyes. He had just said that nothing would happen to him in the academy, but he had been proven wrong in the blink of an eye.
But now is not the time to worry about saving face; he needs to find out exactly what happened.
Kong Xuan quickly asked, "What exactly happened?"
Given Xu Tianyi's status, he wouldn't be able to walk around the academy with impunity, but he certainly wouldn't be beaten to death. Who would have such audacity?!
Therefore, he deduced that things were definitely not simple!
Wang Xiao's voice calmed down a bit, but his tone was still urgent: "Xu Tianyi went to the Soul Arena with someone, but he was no match for him at all. He was already injured before I came back."
"Let's talk as we walk!"
Kong Xuan strode towards the Soul Arena, and the others immediately followed.
Wang Xiao continued to explain Xu Tianyi's situation: "As you all know, Xu Tianyi is incredibly stubborn. Even though he's injured, he still won't admit defeat. If the fight continues, he'll probably be seriously injured, if not killed."
"Bi Jin has already gone to find the teacher. Hopefully, we won't be too late when we get there..."
Kong Xuan, the class monitor, had a high reputation in the class, so when such a thing happened, not only did some people go to the teacher, but some people also came to inform him.
After Wang Xiao's explanation, Kong Xuan roughly understood the situation.
However, it was clear that Wang Xiao didn't know much either; he didn't even know who Xu Tianyi's opponent was.
Xu Tianyi is a martial arts fanatic, and he spends most of his time at the academy immersed in cultivation.
Aside from classmates, I don't have much contact with other people.
So the question now is, who exactly is Xu Tianyi's opponent?
If it were a stranger who didn't know his identity, they probably wouldn't have gone so far as to kill him.
If it's someone he knows well, then it's very likely a conflict between nobles.
However, if someone dares to lay a hand on a prince's heir, then that person's identity must be extraordinary.
Although the group did not use their martial spirits, they quickly entered the Soul Battle Zone by running.
Led by Wang Xiao, the group arrived at Arena 18.
This is a large battle arena with a diameter of 300 meters. The arena is made of special soul guide metal that can restore damaged parts through soul power, so even after thousands of uses, it still looks brand new.
The stands surrounding the arena are arranged in a tiered pattern, with enough seats to accommodate 50,000 spectators. Each seat is equipped with a "viewing lens" that allows for adjustable viewing angles.
When Kong Xuan followed Wang Xiao into the area, he found that there were already quite a few people sitting in the audience seats, probably over a thousand.
Moreover, people were constantly entering the arena, and he guessed that someone was spreading rumors to deliberately lure people over.
With this suspicion in mind, Kong Xuan felt that Xu Tianyi might have been set up today!
Instead of taking their seats, the group walked forward to the edge of the arena.
At this moment, Xu Tianyi was kneeling on the ground in the Soul Arena. The purple-gold dragon scales covering his right arm were tattered, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his chest was heaving violently.
His body and legs also had many charred burn marks, indicating that he had suffered multiple injuries.
Xu Tianyi's opponent was a young man wearing a silver soul master's robe, who was currently hovering in mid-air with four metal wings spread behind him and a long soul guide ray gun in his hand.
On his body, four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, were slowly pulsating, indicating his cultivation level as a four-ring spirit master.
"What? Is this all the Purple Emperor has to do to destroy the Heavenly Dragon?"
The boy laughed mockingly, even amplifying his voice through his soul-guided device, sparking a flurry of discussion among the audience.
He raised his hand, and a thin, crimson beam shot from the muzzle of his gun, precisely grazing Xu Tianyi's cheek and leaving a bloody mark.
"Go ahead and hide. Aren't you supposed to be good at running?"
Xu Tianyi gritted his teeth, his purple-gold vertical pupils burning with rage, but his body trembled slightly due to the exhaustion of his soul power.
He stomped his foot on the ground, forcefully urging his last bit of soul power, and his purple-gold dragon claw tore through the air as he pounced towards his opponent.
However, the boy just smiled dismissively.
The first spirit ring flashed, and the spirit guide wings on his back suddenly accelerated. His figure moved several meters sideways like a ghost, easily dodging the attack.
At the same time, he fired the soul-guided ray gun in his hand again, this time aiming at Xu Tianyi's right leg.
"Bang!"
The soul-guided ray struck Xu Tianyi's right calf precisely. He groaned and fell heavily to the ground, blood seeping from the wound.
At the edge of the arena, Xu Wei, who witnessed this scene, clenched his fists, his brows furrowed, and gritted his teeth, saying, "He's humiliating Xu Tianyi!"
Seeing her teammate being tortured like this, Kong Ling's face turned cold: "How can you hurt someone like this in the Soul Arena? Doesn't the teacher care?"
"That person is your classmate, right? Although he looks seriously injured, they are all just superficial wounds. It's obvious that the other party did it on purpose."
The answer came from an upperclassman who was standing next to them watching the game. He had been watching for longer than they had, so he naturally knew more about the inside story.
"Your classmate is really ruthless. He's clearly no match for the other guy, but he still dared to step in and hasn't admitted defeat yet."
"Moreover, their relationship is not ordinary."
"In this situation, even if a teacher came, they wouldn't be able to say anything."
Kong Xuan accurately grasped the key point in his senior's words, and thought that it seemed to be as he had predicted. The person who attacked Xu Tianyi should also be a nobleman, and his status was definitely not low.
In the arena, the silver-robed youth curled a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth and slowly landed in front of Xu Tianyi, pressing the muzzle of his gun against his forehead.
"Give up, my little brother!"
"You are very talented, but you'd better behave yourself in front of me until you've fully developed!"
"Otherwise, your older brother will have to teach you a good lesson, you disrespectful and useless younger brother!"
Upon hearing the words spoken by the silver-robed youth, Kong Ling's eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "He's Xu Tianyi's brother?"
The siblings had relied on each other since childhood and had a very close bond, so they naturally couldn't understand why some older brothers would be so cruel to their younger brothers.
Kong Xuan looked at the two in the arena and said calmly, "The struggle for the crown prince has always been like this!"
He now understood what was going on; the silver-robed youth who resembled Xu Tianyi was his older brother.
But since there can only be one throne, the two should be in a competitive relationship!
Moreover, Xu Tianyi, who clearly inherited the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul, has even better talent, so now his older brother is taking advantage of his cultivation level to suppress his younger brother.
Given Xu Tianyi's stubborn nature, he might actually fall into the hands of his older brother in the end.
In the royal family, blood ties and family affection are often the least valuable things.
Xu Tianyi raised his head, his eyes suddenly turning fierce, and he abruptly grabbed the gun barrel.
"Xu Tianyang, if you have the guts, then kill me right here!"
Xu Tianyi was stubborn, but he wasn't stupid. He knew that his brother would never and wouldn't dare to take his life in front of everyone.
"court death!"
Xu Tianyang sneered and with a forceful push of his right hand, shook off Xu Tianyi's hand that was gripping the muzzle of the gun.
Although he really wanted to, he didn't dare to kill his own younger brother right now.
However, that doesn't mean he wouldn't dare to take action. In fact, he had already decided to go all out and make his genius younger brother lie in bed for more than ten days.
He pointed the gun at Xu Tianyi's left leg, a cruel smile on his face, and was about to pull the trigger!
