"I... concede."
Shi Mo said with lingering fear, touching the broken tortoise shell on his chest. If it weren't for his first soul skill deflecting some of the damage, he would have been injured by Zhou Sidong's first soul skill.
There was even a risk to his life.
"To decide the victor in a single move, the power of this hundred-year soul skill is almost comparable to a thousand-year one. It's truly amazing how this little fellow trains."
Meng Shenji couldn't help but sigh, attributing it to the vastness of the world and the presence of extraordinary individuals.
The members of the Royal Sky Dou Team still had much room for improvement. With Zhou Sidong's addition, Meng Shenji couldn't help but feel hopeful about the All Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament in two years.
The Heaven Dou Empire's recent performance had been lackluster. The championship was either taken by the Spirit Hall or occasionally by the Star Luo Empire. The Heaven Dou Empire couldn't even get a share. This caused the teams, led by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, to prepare diligently before each tournament, but the results were always unsatisfactory.
No matter how hard they tried, their opponents were always stronger!
Shi Mo had already lost. Qin Ming put away his notebook, walked over to Zhou Sidong with his hands behind his back, and extended his right hand, smiling. "Zhou Sidong, right? My name is Qin Ming. I'm the leader of the Royal Sky Dou Team. Welcome to the team."
"Hello, Teacher Qin Ming. Please take care of me in the future."
Zhou Sidong shook hands with Qin Ming, and they exchanged smiles.
Just then, Bai Baoshan, the second-in-command, ran over, panting. He looked at Meng Shenji and said, "His Highness, the Crown Prince, wants to see Zhou Sidong. Tell him to get ready."
Meng Shenji nodded upon hearing this. With His Highness, the Crown Prince's methods, recruiting Zhou Sidong shouldn't be a problem.
In that case, having Zhou Sidong join the Royal Sky Dou Team was also reasonable.
Meng Shenji walked over to Zhou Sidong and said, "Zhou Sidong, get ready. His Highness, the Crown Prince, wants to see you alone."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but marvel at how perfect the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's intelligence work was.
The moment Shi Mo arrived, His Highness, the Crown Prince, appeared on the other side. It seemed they valued Zhou Sidong greatly.
Throughout the years, talented individuals were either absorbed by major sects or taken by the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall had the advantage of recruiting talent first because they were responsible for awakening spirits.
Now that one had finally arrived, the Heaven Dou royal family didn't hesitate to send the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, in person. It seemed they were determined to get him!
On the way to the side hall with Bai Baoshan, Zhou Sidong's expression was calm, but his heart was already leaping with excitement.
This was all thanks to Xiao Xue. If she hadn't gone to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace last night to deliver a dream to Qian Renxue…
Zhou Sidong estimated that he would have stayed at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy for a long time, and it would have been a long time before he could have met Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), who was the Crown Prince.
Soon, Bai Baoshan completed his task and brought Zhou Sidong to a side hall.
The side hall was located at the highest point of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. This place was rarely visited, and few people came here. Generally, it was a place where Meng Shenji and others received important figures.
Zhou Sidong took a deep breath and walked into the hall.
A person stood in the hall. That person had a head of choppy golden hair and fair skin that even shone in the sunlight. His handsome face, combined with his innate noble temperament, made people feel good. Xue Qinghe stood tall and proud, hands clasped behind his back, waiting for Zhou Sidong to arrive.
"Greetings, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
Zhou Sidong cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Xue Qinghe was slightly stunned. This time, he was less than five meters away from Zhou Sidong. This time, he finally met his own younger brother.
Purple hair was swept back behind her head, and there was also the purple crystal hairpin that she had personally placed in the coffin in last night's dream. Yes, it was that one! "Sit down. You don't have to be so polite in front of me."
Xue Qinghe gestured for Zhou Sidong to sit.
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Zhou Sidong sat down opposite Xue Qinghe.
"I heard a young genius came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy today. At only twelve years old, his soul power has already broken through the thirtieth rank, and his martial soul is the rare Soul Devouring Demon Spider, a type of demon spider. I couldn't help but come and see him." Xue Qinghe wore a warm smile, making her look very sunny.
"Your Highness flatters me."
Zhou Sidong smiled shyly.
"I'm being presumptuous, but don't call me Your Highness in private. It feels too distant. Call me Brother Xue. It sounds more fitting." Xue Qinghe smiled at Zhou Sidong. Being with her younger brother, her mood inexplicably improved. This was her closest kin, and after being separated for so many years, they had finally reunited.
"Yes, Brother Xue."
Zhou Sidong actually wanted to call her "Sister."
However, Xue Qinghe's status was right there. They were currently at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and as the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe had many eyes watching her.
"That's right!"
Xue Qinghe asked, "I heard… Young Brother Zhou is an orphan?"
"Yes," Zhou Sidong nodded.
"Then, do you want to reunite with your closest family members? As long as you say the word, I can mobilize the forces of the Heaven Dou Empire to help you search," Xue Qinghe said.
Zhou Sidong was silent for a while, staring at Xue Qinghe for a good while. The latter saw a hint of impatience in Zhou Sidong's eyes.
Xue Qinghe was slightly stunned. Was she seeing things?
"Although my current parents aren't my closest kin, they treat me like their own. I can't bear to leave them. But I also want to know where my real family is. This is the only thing I can do as a child. I want them to know that the child abandoned for certain reasons is still alive," Zhou Sidong said, tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at Xue Qinghe.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Zhou Sidong wiped away his tears and gave a dry laugh.
Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and sighed, "I understand. Then, do you… don't you hate the family that abandoned you?"
Last night, Bibi Dong holding the "dead" Zhou Sidong entering the forest, that scene deeply pained Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue really wanted to know, why were they both her children, why the different treatment!
"Hate?"
Zhou Sidong shrugged and shook his head, "I wouldn't say hate. My parents dug me out of a tomb. Before I was six, my body was weak, and I often felt inexplicably cold. My parents hired a doctor for me, and the doctor said it was Cold Illness, caused by being placed in Thousand-Year Profound Ice."
"And then? Did your Cold Illness relapse?" Xue Qinghe asked anxiously, her heart in her throat.
"It's been cured."
Zhou Sidong smiled. This was all thanks to Xiao Xue's appearance, and the subsequent consumption of a large number of tonics.
"Good, that's good."
Xue Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "So, do you hate the parents who abandoned you? They didn't fulfill their responsibilities as parents!"
Zhou Sidong was slightly stunned, looking at Xue Qinghe who had asked this question. Here came the key point...
