Douluo: Red Lotus Godzilla

Chapter 99
Heaven Dou Palace!

At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

"Yan Shuangying, switch defense!"

A soldier in golden armor came over and greeted a handsome young man standing guard in front of the palace gate.

"it is good!"

The boy nodded, exchanged positions with the soldiers, and walked towards the palace with the spear on his shoulder.

This boy named Yan Shuangying was naturally Su Ye who had just sneaked into the palace.

Although he sneaked into the palace, it was definitely not an easy task to get close to Qian Renxue.

The palace is heavily guarded, and Qian Renxue is now the crown prince, the heir apparent of the empire, with a distinguished status, not everyone can have the opportunity to see her.

With Su Ye's current level, he could at best be regarded as a guard on guard in the palace, and he was far from the so-called "first-rank guard with a sword".

Not to mention stealing the blood of the gods, it is very difficult to see His Royal Highness the crown prince at ordinary times.

Su Ye frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Hey! Have you heard that His Royal Highness is going to select a new bodyguard?"

In the northern courtyard of the imperial palace, in the military restaurant, a group of soldiers chatted with relish while eating.

Su Ye was sitting in the northwest corner of the restaurant, and he was also eating. When he heard the guards talking, he couldn't help pricking up his ears.

"That's right, the original bodyguard of His Royal Highness died suddenly of a sudden illness not long ago. How can there be no one around the prince to protect him? He must be choosing a new bodyguard soon!" a veteran said seriously.

It was said that many soldiers' eyes were shining brightly. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once they were selected as the prince's personal bodyguards, they could be regarded as a carp turning around.

Although the prince's bodyguards are not as high as the emperor's bodyguards, they have a bright future, because the prince is the prince of the country. The future emperor, now has a good relationship with the prince and is familiar with him. After he ascends the throne, he will naturally become famous.

"Hahaha, I'm so lucky. When I'm selected as the personal bodyguard of His Highness the Crown Prince, my brothers will wait for me to eat and drink spicy food!" A big man with beards laughed strangely.

"It's just you? Come on, you're about to reach the third level, and you're still in the first environment, and you're not even a second-ring soul master. With your level, don't think about being the servant of His Royal Highness." Someone couldn't help but tease.

The others laughed too.

"The prince's personal bodyguard, is that anyone who wants to be able to be it? It must be talented and powerful, and a rookie in the first and second rings is wishful thinking.

A veteran looked contemptuously at the recruits around him, with a look of arrogance on his face.

Although he is older, he is a strong Soul Venerable and also the captain of the guard. He still has some hope to compete for the post of personal guard of the prince who is left unoccupied.

"The prince's personal bodyguard..."

Hearing the conversation of the soldiers, Su Ye muttered thoughtfully, his eyes lit up involuntarily.

This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity!

As long as he can win the position of personal bodyguard, he will be able to get close to Qian Renxue!
Su Ye's eyes flickered, and finally found a glimmer of hope.

"What's the matter, Yan Shuangying, you just came here, do you want to try it too?!" A veteran noticed the change in Su Ye's expression and couldn't help joking.

"Well, I want to try!"

Su Ye nodded seriously, and asked the captain of the guard not far away: "Captain, I don't know when this guard selection will start, do you have any requirements?"

"Yes! Yes! Captain, the gossip you leaked!"

The rest of Qiuba were also booing.

"Okay, I'll let you guys know a little bit ahead of time, and when you boys are on the rise, don't forget about your captain."

The captain of the guard cleared his throat, and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness will start selecting suitable guards tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The selection method is also very simple. Hold a competition and the strong will win!"

"Then captain, what are the requirements for the competition? Can all soldiers participate?" someone asked.

"of course not!"

The captain of the guard glanced at the dull soldier, and explained: "If you want to participate in the guard selection, there are three requirements! First, under the age of 25; second, above the thirtieth rank!"

As soon as these two regulations came out, more than half of the soldiers died down instantly.

It's not easy to be a strong soul master under the age of 25. Only the most outstanding young geniuses can hope to achieve it. If they have that talent, who would be willing to come here and stand guard here.

Among this group of soldiers, some are strong enough, but they are too old, and some are old enough, but not strong enough, and few of them can reach the soul master level under the age of 25.

Su Ye's eyes are deep, and the ancient well has no waves. These two rules are a piece of cake for him. He continued to ask: "What about the third rule?!"

"The third one requires three years of military experience!" said the captain of the guard.

As soon as the third regulation came out, it immediately caused a lot of hopeful recruits to bow their heads, and even Su Ye couldn't help frowning.

He had just entered the palace these two days, and he was still a recruit, so it was obviously impossible for him to have the so-called three years of military experience.

It seems that there is some trouble!
Su Ye's eyes changed, and he silently thought about the countermeasures.

"Captain, why do you have to have three years of military service?!"

Many recruits asked with a bitter face, a little puzzled.

The captain of the guard said: "Because, this is the only way to ensure that the soldiers have a clean background and are loyal to the empire, so as to prevent spies from other countries from entering the palace!"

Hearing this, many people nodded knowingly, but they still couldn't hide the disappointment on their faces.

To sum up, His Royal Highness' selection criteria are very simple.

Young, promising and experienced.

There are very few people who can meet the above three criteria and participate in the selection of bodyguards.

The vast majority of people are basically hopeless!

……

The next morning, the blue sky was boundless, the sun was shining brightly, the breeze was gentle, and it was another sunny day.

In the north of the palace, where the palace guards are stationed, is the martial arts arena!

The long-awaited bodyguard selection contest has finally begun.

This competition is similar to the selection of special forces. Only the elite among the elites can participate. The winner in the end will receive an unparalleled honor - to serve the prince!
Before the competition started, the martial arts arena was already overcrowded. Most of them were soldiers who came to watch the excitement. Only a dozen or so people were eligible to participate in the competition if they met the conditions.

In fact, most of the soldiers came to the Martial Arts Arena not to watch the competition, but to catch a glimpse of the holy face, to see what the legendary His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks like.

The crown prince Xue Qinghe is gentle, refined, wise and virtuous, and has a high prestige in the Heaven Dou Empire. Many people think that he will definitely inherit the mantle of Emperor Xue Ye and become a generation of sages.

Therefore, many people have been famous for His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time and want to have a glimpse of his style.

But unfortunately, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe did not come today...
