Chapter 325 Another Prince_1

Meanwhile,

Prince Xue Xing, who sat in a seat of lesser importance,

glanced at Du Gu Bo beside him and then asked, "Poison Douluo, which academy do you think is the most likely to emerge victorious in the end?"

To tell the truth, he had not wanted to attend this so-called Friendship Game, but he had had no choice since he had received a command from Emperor Xue Ye!

Upon hearing this question, Du Gu Bo, whose pupils resembled those of a venomous snake, surveyed the students from each academy below, then shook his head...

This left Xue Xing somewhat baffled as he pressed, "Poison Douluo, what does that expression mean? Are you saying there isn't a single academy's student who stands out?"

Du Gu Bo shook his head again and denied, "No... All the participants in this Friendship Game are excellent, but the possibility of seizing the championship is extremely slim!"

After a pause, he continued, "Prince Xue Xing, you might as well take a look at the few individuals from the Spirit Hall Golden Generation; their Soul Power and aura are much stronger than those of their peers!"

"Moreover, if I am not mistaken, their actual combat experience is far superior!"

At this, Xue Xing turned his gaze towards Evil Moon and the others...

However, he did not sense anything different...

He couldn't help but frown and said, "Poison Douluo, I don't feel there is anything special about them; could it just be your illusion?"

But Du Gu Bo was incredibly firm in his response, "No, my hunches have always been very reliable!"

"Even Yan Zi, compared to them, would probably fall short by quite a bit!"

Though skeptical at first, Xue Xing chose to trust this statement...

After all, Du Gu Bo was not one to undermine his own granddaughter just to belittle others!

The only possibility was that the members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation possessed the strongest strength in this Friendship Game!

Xue Xing could not help but sigh, "I understand now, it seems that the championship of this Friendship Game will be taken by Martial Soul Hall!"

Glancing at Xue Xing, Du Gu Bo explained, "Prince Xue Xing, although I personally think that the members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation are more outstanding, it doesn't necessarily mean they will be the ones to win in the end!"

"After all, the Friendship Game is a team event with groups of three; their teamwork is also a key factor in deciding the outcome!"

He had not said that the championship would definitely belong to a team from Martial Soul Hall!

Xue Xing suddenly became excited, pressing eagerly, "Poison Douluo, does that mean that there's still a chance for the team from Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Without denying, Du Gu Bo affirmed, "Yes, Prince Xue Xing, but as for the final outcome, we must continue to observe!"

Just then, a Sky Dou Empire Soldier clad in armor approached, and after receiving permission, he leaned in and whispered a few words into Xue Xing's ear...

It was faintly visible that his expression turned extremely ugly...

Du Gu Bo couldn't resist asking, "Prince Xue Xing, what happened? Your complexion has suddenly turned quite dreadful!"

Veins popping on his forehead, Xue Xing clenched his teeth and said, "Poison Douluo, it seems we must immediately return to the imperial palace!"

Du Gu Bo, a bit perplexed, continued to inquire, "Why?"

However, Xue Xing did not speak directly, instead communicating through spiritual power...

"Poison Douluo, just now, another prince has been murdered at Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

Undoubtedly, it was because many of the strong individuals from the academy had accompanied him to Martial Soul City!

This had led to the defenses of Heaven Dou Royal Academy being weakened, creating an opportunity to exploit!

Du Gu Bo also revealed a shocked expression, "What?? Such a thing has actually happened!"

After forcing himself to calm down, he asked again, "Prince Xue Xing, does Emperor Xue Ye know about this??"

If a prince met with misfortune, the one who should be the first to know would be Emperor Xue Ye!!

Xue Xing shook his head and denied, "No, this matter had already been sealed off before it was communicated to me; my brother is not aware of it!"

"Of course, I do not plan to inform my brother at a time like this!"

Du Gu Bo seemed to have guessed something, "So, Prince Xue Xing, do you mean that we should hurry back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and then inform Emperor Xue Ye after we have investigated the situation?"

Xue Xing affirmed, "Exactly, if we can catch the murderer, that will undoubtedly eliminate one hidden danger!"

Damn it, to have such a thing happen at this time!

A prince is dead, and as the person in charge of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I am likely to be implicated greatly!!

Because of this, we must catch the murderer!

Du Gu Bo did not waste any more words, "I understand, Prince Xue Xing, if you wish to return to the academy, I will accompany you!"

Xue Xing glanced sidelong at Dugu Yan, who was warming up, "But Poison Douluo, what about your granddaughter's match..."

Du Gu Bo's eyes twinkled, "I believe Yan Zi won't disappoint me; after all, she is the granddaughter of this Poison Douluo!"

Gratitude flickered in Xue Xing's eyes, "Alright, then I'll go and inform my brother, and we will immediately set off back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

...

Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

Several Soul Masters intently watched a prince lying in a pool of blood, their expressions filled with immense rage...

"Damn it, who the hell dared to attack a prince within our Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they're really courting death!"

"Not only that, they cruelly dismembered the body, this is simply an insult to the royal household!!"

"No, we must conduct a thorough search of the academy and must find the murderer hiding in the shadows!"

"No, issuing such orders rashly could allow the murderer to escape the academy, better to wait for Prince Xue Xing and the others to return before doing anything!"

As for the other students, each of their faces was as pale as death, standing rooted to the spot as if they had lost their souls...

"Dead... a prince is actually dead, and right here in Heaven Dou Royal Academy!!"

"If such accidents can occur here, if we leave the academy, I fear that those princes might be dead in a short time,"

"Shush, do you want to die? How dare you speak such treacherous words here, haven't you seen that there are several princes here as well??"

"I... I no longer want to stay at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I... I want to go home, go home!!"

After this statement fell, the whole academy instantly became a mess...

Seeing this, one of the teachers, with a face full of urgency, reassured, "Students, don't worry, the murderer's target is only the princes of the Tiandou Empire, so they will not easily harm you!"

"Simply put, as long as you do not do anything, you should all be safe!!"

After a pause, he then turned to look at the despondent princes, suggesting, "As for the princes, please make sure to stay with the academy's teachers for your safety until Prince Xue Xing and others return to the academy!"

It is not known when the murderer made their move, but the body of the deceased prince was already emitting a foul odor!!
