The Third Prince did not agree, but looked at the two with a teasing look. The Seventh Prince sighed and shook his head.
Crown Prince Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of gunpowder in the air.
Huo Yuhao looked at the four princes with great interest. Having stayed in Mingdu for three months, he had heard many rumors about the four princes.
Xu Tianran is the crown prince, but unfortunately he is disabled on one side of his body. Several other princes have coveted the position of crown prince for a long time.
The other three princes all had the opportunity to ascend the throne. After all, letting a disabled person succeed to the throne would have a huge impact on the reputation of the royal family.
"Your Majesty has arrived——"
Just when the atmosphere among the princes was getting strange, that voice rang out for the last time, even louder than the previous ones.
Then, a thin old man who looked a little old but full of energy walked out slowly and scanned the entire hall with a majestic look.
"Long live His Majesty—"
All the students and servants in the hall knelt down and shouted.
The old man is naturally the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire.
Huo Yuhao was sizing him up with his detection device when he heard Xiao Hongchen whisper, “Idiot, why don’t you kneel?”
“Why should I kneel?” Huo Yuhao asked in return, “Why don’t you kneel?”
Xiao Hongchen said angrily: "Meng and I have our own titles, so we don't have to kneel when we see His Majesty. But if you don't kneel, it will be disrespectful to His Majesty, and the guards will find trouble with you later."
Just as he said, there were guards scanning the entire place, searching with vicious eyes for those who did not kneel.
Huo Yuhao didn’t want to kneel, nor did he want to cause trouble, so he simply used simulation to make himself invisible.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were ashamed when they saw this.
"Stand up." Emperor Sun and Moon nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
All the students of Mingde Hall then stood up, and Huo Yuhao also reappeared.
"You are so bold to be disrespectful to His Majesty." Xiao Hongchen "praised".
"What? Do you want to report me for such a small matter?" Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Hongchen with a sinister smile.
"Interesting." Xiao Hongchen said no more, but the corners of his mouth kept rising.
Emperor Sun and Moon first looked at the princes and said, "Blood ties run deep. My greatest wish in my later years is to see you brothers living in harmony."
The third prince immediately said, "Father, we brothers are united, even if there is any unhappiness, we will not take it to heart in the end."
The fifth prince echoed, "Father, Third Brother is right."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but want to laugh after hearing this.
There was a sense of tension between these princes just now, but now they are in harmony.
The Sun and Moon Emperor in front of him should be He Caitou’s uncle, the prince who killed He Caitou’s parents and usurped the throne.
Logically speaking, he should be a tyrant with cruel means and iron fists, but unexpectedly, he is now an emperor who cares about the love between men and women.
Only Xu Tianran looked at the Sun-Moon Emperor with neither arrogance nor servility: "Father, your greatest wish should be to witness the unification of the continent by the Sun-Moon Empire and spread the glory of the sun and moon throughout the continent."
"Yes, conquering the entire continent is also my greatest wish." The Sun-Moon Emperor laughed loudly and looked at the students in the hall. "With so many talents working for me and serving the Sun-Moon Empire, it is just a matter of time before the Sun-Moon Empire conquers the three kingdoms on the continent."
The hearty laughter of the Sun-Moon Emperor spread throughout the hall. Suddenly, someone took the lead and shouted something.
"Destroy the three kingdoms on the continent, long live the Sun-Moon Empire!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
Then, more and more students became emotional and shouted loudly.
"Long live the Sun and Moon Empire!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
Emperor Sun and Moon took in all the students' responses, and a hint of ambition and fanaticism flashed in his old eyes.
Huo Yuhao looked coldly at the Sun and Moon Emperor from afar.
He took back his previous thought. The Sun and Moon Emperor had not cut off his minions and was still full of ambition.
It seems that Emperor Sun and Moon likes the crown prince he appointed very much. The two of them were just singing the same tune, while the other princes did not understand what he meant at all.
"This is the emperor of your human race. Who are his crown princes?"
The voice of Ice Emperor came from the sea of spirit.
“Yes.” Huo Yuhao nodded. “It’s very troublesome, right? Because human emperors have many children, they will have so many heirs, and each heir will compete for the throne.”
Bingdi asked, "Can it be passed on to one's offspring?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
The Ice Emperor continued, "Among soul beasts, there is no saying that the rulership is passed down to offspring. Only the strongest is the only emperor, and anyone can challenge it."
"If it wins, it remains the emperor. If it loses, the challenger becomes the new emperor."
Huo Yuhao said to himself with emotion: "Yes, why can the emperor of mankind pass on his rule to his descendants?"
Xue Di observed for a while and said, "That prince should be the future emperor, right?"
“Not necessarily.” Huo Yuhao said.
Xue Di asked: "Isn't it possible that his cultivation is the strongest?"
“The strongest? How strong?” Huo Yuhao frowned.
He could feel that Xu Tianran's cultivation was higher than the other three princes, but he didn't know how strong he was.
"Title Douluo." Xue Di said.
"How can it be!"
Huo Yuhao’s eyes widened in shock.
He was really almost shocked.
Titled Douluo?
How could Xu Tianran be a Titled Douluo?
“I don’t believe it.” Huo Yuhao quickly regained his composure and said firmly, “Xue Di, do you know what it means to be a Titled Douluo at such a young age?”
"He is no more than thirty years old now, and his lower limbs are disabled, which has a devastating impact on his cultivation. In this case, how can he still reach the level of Titled Douluo?"
"I'm not lying to you." Xue Di smiled and said, "Although he is the most superficial Title Douluo I have ever seen, his superficiality is just like Tian Meng's spiritual power, with quantity but no quality, but his cultivation has indeed reached the level of a Title Douluo."
Tian Meng said weakly: "That... I can prove it..."
Huo Yuhao pondered for a while.
Suddenly, he said to the sea of spirit: "Heavenly Dream."
"Ah? What happened to Yuhao?"
"Lend me some strength."
"Ah? Why are you doing this so suddenly? There's no danger right now..."
Huo Yuhao frowned and looked coldly at Xu Tianran in the distance.
Xu Tianran was sitting in a wheelchair, with the hem of his white robe completely covering his lower body, making it impossible to tell whether he was really disabled.
"Let me see Xu Tianran's legs."
Chapter 267 The Laughing Huo (4k)
"Huo Yuhao, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Hongchen asked in confusion, noticing that Huo Yuhao had suddenly lost consciousness. Meng Hongchen also looked puzzled.
“Nothing.” Huo Yuhao’s expression had returned to calm. No outsider knew how shocked he was when he learned that Xu Tianran had the strength of a Titled Douluo.
Tian Meng asked: "Yuhao, why do you want to see his legs..."
Huo Yuhao said decisively: "Because I just don't believe it."
"I don't believe that Xu Tianran, as a disabled person, could actually reach the level of Titled Douluo."
"He is definitely not like what was rumored in Mingdu. He is missing both legs. This is probably a disguise to the outside world."
He looked at Xu Tianran with a determined look.
Missing limbs is a very serious disability for a soul master. It is very likely to damage the foundation. It is normal for the cultivation speed to be greatly reduced, and it is not surprising that the cultivation level stagnates.
It was already shocking for an ordinary spirit master to cultivate to the level of Titled Douluo at the age of less than 30. It was even more impossible if he was a disabled person, not to mention that the cultivation talent of the people in the Sun-Moon Empire was lower than the average level of the continent.
Even if they were able to significantly increase their soul power by taking drugs, what terrifying medicine refining technology the Sun Moon Empire must have...
There is another reason why Huo Yuhao is so determined to find out the truth.
That is, cultivating a Titled Douluo among the direct descendants of the royal family, especially the heirs, is of great significance, which can consolidate the imperial power and win the hearts of the people to a great extent.
Huo Yuhao knew that Xu Jiawei’s strength was about to break through the Titled Douluo, but he must be in his forties or fifties.
Even with the size of the royal family, it is so difficult to devote all resources to train a Titled Douluo, and Xu Tianran's disability is even more incredible.
Huo Yuhao was very confused.
If Xu Tianran's disability was fake, then what was his reason for doing so?
It's impossible for the Sun and Moon Royal Family to replace a Titled Douluo-level prince with another prince, right?
Xu Tianran must have hidden his strength, otherwise the other princes would never dare to think of replacing him.
Huo Yuhao decided to check it out himself and used his spiritual power to detect it.
His current mental detection not only has a wide range, but also has strong penetrating power. Only extremely thick soil and high-density metal can block it. It is not difficult to detect the inside of a person's body.
Meridians, blood vessels, muscles... As long as Huo Yuhao concentrates, these can all be projected into his mind.
However, Huo Yuhao usually wouldn't do this. Firstly, these trivial information were meaningless, and secondly, he didn't have that kind of weird hobby.
Now he just wanted to verify whether this prince who was rumored to have an iron fist was really disabled in the lower body as rumored.
Xu Tianran’s cultivation should be that of a genuine Titled Douluo, because Huo Yuhao discovered that his mental power would be blocked by the opponent’s soul power. He could not detect the opponent’s body by himself alone. If he increased his strength rashly, he might be discovered, so he had to rely on some of Tianmeng’s mental power.
"Okay, but you have to be careful." Tian Meng agreed, but reminded, "The old emperor has two Titled Douluo beside him. In addition to the old toad, there is another person who seems to be very powerful."
