Chapter 470 Ninth-level soul master Ran Yuming, the court begins!
There is nothing wrong with the old emperor's health.
However, what was unexpected was that during this period, news frequently spread from the Prince's Mansion that Xu Tianran was suffering from a serious illness. And because Xu Tianran never showed up to respond, the rumors became more and more intense.
It has even spread to the Sun and Moon Court, and everyone in the government and the public is talking about it. However, because they don't know whether it is true or not, everyone maintains a wait-and-see attitude, waiting for the situation to change.
This news aroused Su Luoheng's attention.
If there were no future scenes observed by the Eye of Destiny, Su Luoheng would also suspect that the news of serious illness was a smoke bomb deliberately released by Xu Tianran to confuse other camps.
But now, Su Luoheng feels that it is most likely the truth.
Because from the analysis of the future scene, it can be concluded that the process of the poison of faith from beginning to corrode to completely erupting takes time.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Xu Tianran to have problems only when he came to the court.
It is even more impossible for Xu Tianran to be the only one in the court to undergo a mutation. The entire Sun Moon Empire, and even the entire Douluo Continent, will erupt in full force, instead of only some human beings experiencing mutations.
so--
Before the poison of faith completely breaks out, the eroded individual will definitely have some precursory reactions in his body under the influence of this power. This is similar to being irritable or seriously ill.
As for the length of the outbreak, it is related to the individual being eroded.
However, the specific reasons for this are still unclear.
However, Xu Tianran's sudden illness attracted Su Luoheng's attention.
Although Xu Tianran's physical condition has not been very good since he became disabled in both legs. But he remembers that before he left Mingdu, he had not shown any signs.
So is this sudden illness related to the outbreak of the poison of faith?
And to go one step further: Could it be that because of Xu Tianran's own incomplete limbs, he was most severely corroded by the poison of faith, and finally mutated under the stimulation of everyone?
even……
Continuing to speculate boldly: Maybe the reason why the Sun and Moon Empire was the most severely poisoned by the poison of faith among the four great empires is also related to the physical constitution of its citizens?
You must know that the Sun and Moon Empire has always been biased towards the development of soul guides and the improvement of elixirs. As a result, the physical fitness of the domestic people is generally weaker than that of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
Su Luoheng's suspicion is not unfounded. If we look at it from a physical perspective, this reason can withstand scrutiny.
"..."
Thinking of this, Su Luoheng's eyes moved slightly.
But in the final analysis, this is just a conjecture on my part. Although I think it has a certain possibility, there is no conclusive evidence to confirm this idea.
Therefore, it can only be listed as one of the possibilities.
…
…
After returning to Mingdu.
Through Xu Jinyu, Su Luoheng has been paying close attention to the movements in the court of the Sun and Moon Empire and collecting intelligence. Since King Heng's body recovered, he has also returned to the political center.
Other aspects of the investigation were left to Zhen to collect enthusiastically.
Although he really has no talent in soul guidance, he is definitely top-notch in terms of interpersonal relationships. He is even more prosperous in the shopping mall and helps Su Luoheng accumulate a lot of wealth.
It can be said that [Chaldea] can develop to the point where it is today, and Zhen Huan definitely deserves the most credit. His current network of contacts has expanded from Sun and Moon College to the business district of Mingdu.
Merchants travel all over the country and have a good understanding of what is happening in various countries on the continent, so they are most suitable for inquiring about news.
As for Ma Xiaotao, Zhang Lexuan, and Ye Guyi, Su Luoheng arranged them into the soul mentor army secretly trained by Xu Jinyu. With the strength of the three and the soul guidance device, one can imagine the strength they can exert.
Although Xu Tianran probably won't survive for long, there will be other princes vying for the throne without him. Make preparations in advance to ensure that everything is safe when the time comes.
And even if it is not used when fighting for the throne, it will still come in handy when the golden ancient tree completely explodes to deal with the monsters generated by the poison of faith.
No matter how you calculate it, this soul guide army will not be wasted.
As for the fact that Xu Tianran would be eroded by the poison of faith, Su Luoheng did not tell anyone except the Snow Emperor. After all, this matter was of great importance and it was not appropriate to let too many people know in advance.
There were still a few days between the time when the old emperor was seriously ill and the time when he ordered the prince to supervise the country. By then, it would be too late to prepare again after the old emperor was confirmed to be seriously ill.
Su Luoheng's move also had selfish motives.
If Xu Tianran dies, it will be a huge gain for him.
Because if he dies under the poison of faith, it will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble in Xu Jinyu's subsequent battle for the throne. Therefore, this result is in the best interest of our side.
Moreover, he cannot solve the problem of the poison of faith. Even if he wants to save Xu Tianran, there is nothing he can do. It is better to think carefully about how to receive his inheritance.
After Xu Tianran's death, the parties under his command were leaderless. If they can successfully take over this part of the power, it will be the best time for Xu Jinyu to move from behind the scenes to the front.
…
…
In addition, after returning to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Su Luoheng began to distribute the large amount of fairy grass harvested in the Eyes of Ice and Fire.
The candidates to get the fairy grass this time are Ji Juechen, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, Nana, Ran Yuming, Ran Ruobing and other soul masters who are close to each other and have extraordinary talents.
Nana was originally under Su Luoheng's command.
But my own teachers and senior sisters don’t need much.
As for Ji Juechen, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen, the conditions for them to obtain the fairy grass in exchange were the same as Ma Xiaotao and others, and they all joined Su Luoheng's forces.
And they agreed without any hesitation.
First of all, they trust Su Luoheng.
Secondly, no soul master can refuse the fairy grass that can not only enhance soul power but also enhance talents without any side effects.
"..."
The fairy medicinal herb Su Luoheng prepared for Ji Juechen was the eight-petal fairy orchid, which was used to strengthen the root and strengthen the body.
Although Ji Juechen has excellent talent in swordsmanship, the starting point of his innate soul power is too low, and the progress of soul power cultivation is slow. Without special opportunities, his ability to break through Contra in this life is already the limit.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This eight-petal fairy orchid just makes up for his shortcomings in this regard.
After getting this fairy grass, Ji Juechen lived up to his expectations. His soul power broke through five levels in a row, and he was only one step away from breaking through to Soul Saint. The shackles of his talent no longer existed.
The fairy grass Nana got was the Cold Spirit Ghost Flower, and after absorbing it, her soul power successfully broke through to the Soul Emperor realm.
The fairy grass prepared for Meng Hongchen was a snow jade ice Ganoderma lucidum, which fit perfectly with her ice-attributed soul power. After refining it, her soul power broke through to level sixty-six.
Xiao Hongchen also absorbed a piece of metallic fairy grass whose attributes matched his martial soul. His soul power broke through to level sixty-eight in one fell swoop, and he was also one step away from becoming a soul saint.
Nana, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen are all the confirmed main players for the next Soul Fighting Competition of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. In addition to Su Luoheng and Gu Qianqiu, there are a total of five soul emperors in charge.
The lineup is unprecedentedly strong.
There is a high chance that he will be the defending champion of the Soul Fighting Competition.
Closer to home, the jelly herbs Su Luoheng prepared for his teacher and senior sister were Purple Orchid Aesculus to repair mental trauma, and Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone to nourish the muscles and bones.
Knowing that there was hope for recovery from his mental trauma, Ran Yuming felt very nervous.
Ran Yuming has tried too many methods since his mental trauma. He is afraid that this time the result will be another empty joy and a waste of his apprentice's efforts.
Fortunately, the result this time did not disappoint him again!
Under the nourishment of purple orchid seven-leaf clover, Ran Yuming felt that his broken spiritual sea began to repair. The originally weak spiritual power also became solid and tough, and the depleted spiritual sea began to gradually recover.
Mental strength begins to recover!
At this moment, Ran Yuming's whole body trembled with excitement.
Even though he had accepted the reality that he was stuck as a seventh-level soul master and would never be able to break through to become a titled Douluo for the rest of his life. However, when his spiritual power truly began to recover, the level of surprise was unmatched by anything else.
Finally, finally see hope!
Ran Yuming tried hard to suppress the turbulence in his heart and continued to refine.
While the mental power was being restored, the shackles of the soul power that had been stuck at level 89 Contra for many years due to mental power began to slowly increase, and the soul core condensed and took shape.
So, with the nourishment of the immortal herbs, Ran Yuming condensed his first soul core in such a simple way, officially breaking through to the title Douluo level. If it weren't for the problem of the sea of spirit, he would have been able to condense the soul core long ago.
"Hahaha!!"
Ran Yuming was so excited that he couldn't describe it and laughed loudly.
He originally thought that he would be trapped in this for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, just when he had given up, his apprentice brought a surprise.
At this moment, he was glad that he accepted Su Luoheng.
Seeing this scene, Su Luoheng started laughing.
"..."
Don't forget, Ran Yuming's main job is to be a soul mentor. If it weren't for the limitation of his soul power, he would have already reached the ninth level soul mentor.
Now that there are no restrictions on soul power, making an eighth-level soul guide is easy for him. As for a ninth-level soul guide, it won't take long given his level of soul guidance.
He has mastered the theoretical knowledge to perfection, and what he needs now is a practical process.
So after hearing that Su Luoheng needed a ninth-level soul-guiding sword, Ran Yuming took the initiative to stop the job and made this soul-guiding sword his first work after becoming a ninth-level soul mentor.
In this regard, Su Luoheng is naturally happy to see the success.
There is no need to question my teacher's ability in soul guidance devices.
"..."
Just like that, time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, Su Luoheng had returned to Mingdu for more than five months.
During this time, in addition to practicing, he was always paying attention to the situation.
During this period, although Xu Tianran appeared in the court, there were constant rumors about his long-term illness. Moreover, according to insiders in the government, Xu Tianran's mood became more and more violent.
In addition, he finally waited for the most important news!
The old emperor suddenly fell ill and was unable to preside over the court meeting.
"It's finally about to begin..."
Su Luoheng murmured, his expression solemn.
He knew that the future scene was about to take place, and it was time for him to start preparing.
Thinking of this, Su Luoheng left the college.
The first stop of the visit is Prince Heng’s Mansion!
…
…
Two days later.
Mingdu, Sun and Moon Palace, above the court hall.
Officials at all levels are listed on the left and right of the main hall.
After waiting for a while, Xu Tianran, surrounded by attendants, was wearing the sun and moon royal family's highest standard brocade robe with the sun and moon crown pattern, and stood on the sun and moon court hall with a ninth-level soul-guided prosthetic leg.
He strode forward and stood in front of the throne.
Looking at the Sun and Moon Emperor who was so close at hand, a fiery look flashed in his eyes. Although his face was slightly pale, it did not cover up his ambitious and sharp gaze at all.
Soon, soon!
Immediately, he can be in this position!
Xu Tianran took a deep breath, then sat on the smaller chair next to him, looking down at the civil and military officials below.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old."
Everyone knelt down on the ground and saluted.
"My dear friends, please be safe."
Xu Tianran raised his arm to give him some support, and a strange and unpredictable red light appeared in his majestic and cold eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince."
The ministers stood up and stood in two rows according to their official rank.
"My father is in poor health. For the sake of the stability of our empire, my father intends to let me supervise the country and govern the country during this period. I wonder if you have any objections?"
Xu Tianran's face was filled with a gentle smile, but his eyes were scanning the crowd sharply, giving them invisible pressure. But under this seemingly gentle and jade-like appearance, there was a hint of cruelty hidden.
"..."
"If you have no objections, then I—"
"Your Highness, I have objections!"
Suddenly, a minister came forward and said loudly: "His Majesty is seriously ill now, and I have heard that you are ill. If it is confirmed, I am afraid that the matter of supervising the country needs to be discussed again..."
"I also second the proposal. Your Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of the Sun and Moon, and is responsible for the future of our Sun and Moon Empire. Please ensure your health, and leave the responsibility of supervising the country to others!"
"Um?"
Xu Tianran still maintained a humble and kind smile on his face, but there was a chill in his eyes.
"What? Are you all opposed to my supervision of the country?"
"Your Highness, I forgive you. I have no objection. I just feel that you have just recovered and it would be best for you to rest quietly for a few days."
"Yes, as the Crown Prince, Your Highness should put your health first!"
"Your Highness, I second the proposal."
"..."
Suddenly, there was a chorus of agreement.
Everyone present was a smart person, and everyone knew that Xu Tianran wanted to consolidate his position as the crown prince through the position of supervising the country.
Once this decree is issued, all of them and other members of the prince's faction will definitely be liquidated from the court.
But they don't want to end the opportunity to compete for the throne just like this. As long as he doesn't supervise the country, other princes will still have a chance. So they are trying to make it impossible for him to supervise the country.
Therefore, no matter which party they belong to, the ministers are unprecedentedly united at this moment. They just don't want Xu Tianran to take the position of supervising the country. Although Xu Tianran controls most of the court, it is still a little difficult to deal with it at the moment.
