Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Page 135

This absorption of stellar energy lasted for over an hour before Xu Xiaoyan's body slowly landed on the ground. Many points of light appeared on her body. Nan Fusheng circulated his spiritual energy and roughly counted them; there were approximately 365 points of light.

Xu Xiaoyan sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating the Xuan Tian Gong, and the three hundred and sixty-five golden light spots on her body shone faintly.

Her Star Wheel Ice Staff stood upright beside her, completely turned golden, especially the Star Wheel at the top, which seemed to have become ethereal inside, as if the stars of the heavens were imprinted within it. Looking closely at it, one felt as if gazing up at the starry sky.

The stars in the sky gradually returned to normal, and the light from the observatory slowly faded. The starlight surrounding Xu Xiaoyan seemed to have been absorbed back into herself, disappearing quietly.

Her already beautiful face now had a radiant glow, as if it were shimmering with a precious light.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Xiaoyan slowly opened her eyes. When she realized that everyone's eyes were focused on her, her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly.

"How are you feeling?" Nan Fusheng was the first to step forward. Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's hesitant expression, he couldn't help but smile. "It's alright, don't worry, Dean Ling Feng is trustworthy."

"Hmm." After receiving Nan Fusheng's reply, Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath and said excitedly, "This time, absorbing star power helped my martial soul wash away the ice attribute, and now my martial soul has completely become a star staff."

Along with my previous three soul skills, everything has changed. From now on, I am also a powerful offensive and control-type soul master.

As they were talking, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but walk up and hug Nan Fusheng, then kissed him on the cheek.

Despite being teased by the crowd, Xu Xiaoyan was still a little shy, but she still held onto Nan Fusheng tightly.

She has always been the weakest member of the team. Only by controlling the Star Wheel Ice Staff at night and later by using the first soul ring, Star Wheel Chain, during the day could she finally play a role.

This has always made her feel somewhat inferior and insecure. Internally, her current classmates are all exceptionally talented. Externally, the students of Shrek Academy are also quite strong. In fact, among the freshmen in Class One, she is considered a rather ordinary member.

Not to mention, there's Fors, a rival whose looks and abilities are unparalleled. Even if it wasn't explicitly stated, she's always been under immense pressure.

But now she has finally stood up, and thanks to the gift Fusheng gave her, she has finally undergone a transformation.

Chapter 236 Xu Xiaoyan's Touching Moments

This was Xu Xiaoyan's thought at the moment. Originally, she wanted to defeat Fors, but when she thought about the opponent's outrageous combat power, Xu Xiaoyan silently gave in to her heart.

“But combat strength doesn’t mean anything. I am the woman standing behind Fusheng.” Xu Xiaoyan hugged Nan Fusheng tightly and looked at Fors.

But the next moment, she felt a suffocating sensation; it was Fors. Fors grabbed Nan Fusheng and squeezed her between them.

"!!!"

Feeling Nan Fusheng's strong, masculine chest in front of her, and then feeling the soft touch on the back of her head, Xu Xiaoyan once again remembered that Fors seemed to be bisexual.

"Ahem, alright. It's inevitable that young people have plenty of energy, but right now, the most important thing should be about your final exams, right?" At this moment, Li Yunlong's teasing voice rang out.

Nan Fusheng and the other two tacitly separated. "Well, let's not delay, then we'll trouble you, senior."

"it is good."

In the ensuing battle, Xu Xiaoyan realized why Ye Lingyun called himself an agile and defensive Soul Master.

Ye Lingyun's martial soul is called Cloud Bat, a powerful martial soul that can use the power of starlight for defense. When it fully utilizes the star power of the Star Gazing Platform, it can also use a special defense similar to an invincible golden body.

At the same time, the cloud bat's flight speed is extremely fast. Its only drawback is its lack of attack power. However, Ye Lingyun obviously anticipated this and specially wore grappling hook-like weapons on his hands.

Because of Ye Lingyun's powerful defense, the battle lasted for quite a while. In the end, Nan Fusheng seized the opportunity to control him, Xu Xiaoyan used the Star Wheel Ice Chain for assistance, and Fors relied on the Five Elements Divine Light to finish the battle in one go.

Xu Xiaoyan also showcased her three brand-new soul skills.

The first soul skill, Star Wheel Ice Chain, remains unchanged, possessing absolute validity.

However, her second soul skill changed. Xu Xiaoyan's second soul skill is now called Starlight Feedback.

Effect: Instantly confuses the opponent, causing those covered to change their attack direction or have their attack interrupted, thus creating chaos.

Third Soul Skill: Starlight Splendor. A wide-range soul skill that can immobilize opponents for a short period of time.

After the battle, Fors and Xu Xiaoyan rested in the lounge. Nan Fusheng, on the other hand, found a corner to talk with Ye Lingfeng.

Nan Fusheng: "So, have you found any promising talents within the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy?"

Upon hearing Nan Fusheng's words, Ye Lingfeng instantly understood what the main body was referring to. He then took out a small booklet and said, "Most of the outstanding Soul Masters over the age of twenty in Tianding City are recorded here. As for Soul Masters under the age of twenty, there are only three worth looking forward to in our academy."

"The first one is Xiao Tiantian, a powerful attack and control-type Soul Master. His Martial Soul is called Demon King. It's a top-tier Martial Soul, with excellent attack and defense. He's already at level 46."

The second one is Han Yushang, a control-type Soul Master. Her Martial Soul is the Illusionary Demon Butterfly. Although her attack power isn't strong, her mental strength has already reached the Spirit Sea Realm. Incidentally, she's also a rather delicate-looking girl.

Nan Fusheng ignored Ye Lingfeng's strange tone and directly flipped through the contents of the booklet, which not only recorded the information of those outstanding Soul Masters, but also some information of the officials of Tianding City.

"Hmm, well done." Nan Fusheng nodded. With this, his grand plan to create clones was just around the corner. While turning those outstanding Soul Masters into clones, he couldn't forget these ordinary people who, although lacking Soul Power, possessed power.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the lounge, Xu Xiaoyan approached Li Yunlong, "Senior Yunlong, could you tell me about Fusheng's previous agreement?"

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan's question, Li Yunlong's body stiffened. "If that's what you're talking about, then I'll have to have a serious talk with you about this," Li Yunlong said with a sigh.

"Although I personally feel that Fusheng probably doesn't want me to tell you, he has done so much, and I think that as the beneficiary, you should also have a certain right to know."

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Xu Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly; she was indeed very curious about this matter.

"It was an afternoon two years ago. My junior classmate Fusheng suddenly approached me, saying that he had learned about our college's observatory and hoped to visit it. At that time, my relationship with Fusheng was quite good, so of course I agreed immediately."

Later, after learning about the purpose of the observatory, my junior, Fusheng, wanted to research records related to stellar energy. After reviewing a large amount of material, one day, Fusheng approached me again, saying he hoped to conduct an experiment using the observatory.

But I was just a teacher; I didn't have that authority. I could only take Fusheng to see the dean. I don't know what they talked about. But that day, when Fusheng left the academy, he was covered in bruises.

Even with the help of a healing-type Soul Master, he remained bedridden for three days and three nights. Li Yunlong's face was filled with grief as he finished speaking.

In reality, Nan Fusheng approached him directly, parasitized him, and transformed him into an avatar. Then, he took Nan Fusheng to the dean and did the same thing.

And just like that, the Heavenly Starry Sky Soul Master Academy was easily acquired, and then the powerful teachers were converted one by one, without any unexpected incidents occurring throughout the process. As for the Star Gazing Platform, he could use it however he wanted.

However, Li Yunlong certainly wouldn't say that to Xu Xiaoyan. How could he gain favor if he didn't let her know how hard the main body worked? Although they usually thought about tricking the main body, these clones wouldn't do that in this kind of situation.

And you know what? It's true that being described by someone else is much more moving than being told it by the person themselves.

Li Yunlong's approach—not explicitly stating what Nan Fusheng went through, but directly stating the outcome—leaves ample room for the reader's imagination.

Just like Xu Xiaoyan now, her eyes were already slightly red with emotion. Although she didn't know what Nan Fusheng had gone through, she knew from Li Yunlong's description that Nan Fusheng must have paid a heavy price.

"And in the end he was covered in wounds. He must have been in a lot of pain at the time! But I knew nothing about it."

Xu Xiaoyan silently kept this matter in mind. Since Fusheng didn't take the initiative to tell her, he obviously didn't want her to know, so of course she wouldn't take the initiative to expose it.

Chapter 237 Preparing to mess with Tang Wulin again

When Nan Fusheng and his two companions left the Tianding Starry Sky Soul Master Academy, Shen Yi was surprised to find that Xu Xiaoyan and Nan Fusheng seemed to have become even closer.

Just like sitting on the Soul Guidance Train, even in front of Fors, Xu Xiaoyan dared to grab Nan Fusheng's arm and snuggle up to him.

No, are you really that brave?!

Shen Yi was stunned. At the same time, she was prepared to prevent Xu Xiaoyan from being beaten up by Fors. It was the final exam period, and it was not advisable to let them fight amongst themselves.

To her surprise, Fors didn't react much to Xu Xiaoyan's actions. Instead, she hugged Nan Fusheng's other arm and nestled beside him.

"Are all student relationships this messy these days?" Shen Yi, a single woman in her late thirties, was puzzled. She was a staunch believer in pure love! Then, Shen Yi looked at Nan Fusheng.

"My student is a playboy!"

……

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and the others were in a much worse situation.

Unable to find any opponents in Heaven Dou City, they decided to seek help from the Spirit Pagoda at Gu Yue's suggestion. However, Gu Yue's teacher, Heavenly Wind Douluo Leng Yaozhu, upon learning of their situation, forbade the Spirit Pagoda's Soul Masters from helping them and ordered them to rely on themselves.

Left with no other option, Tang Wulin and the others had to leave. However, at this moment, Gu Yue immediately revealed her traitorous nature, suggesting that they block the way for passing Soul Masters outside the Spirit Pagoda and force them to fight.

So, after attacking passing Soul Masters and then ambushing the Spirit Pagoda enforcement team that had come to investigate after hearing the commotion, Tang Wulin and the others immediately fled, buying a car and leaving Heaven Dou City.

After they defeated the enforcement team of the Spirit Pagoda, Teacher Wu had already determined that they had passed the test of Heaven Dou City.

Their next target is Tianling City.

……

Early morning, Tianling City.

Inside the Spirit Transmission Tower in Tianling City, a handsome young man had just woken up in the rest room and was preparing to leave the tower to continue his chosen profession. However…

"Hmm?" The young man asked in confusion. In his mental perception, there were several familiar auras lingering outside the tower. Who were these auras?

“Tang Wulin? Gu Yue!” the young man said. “Interesting. I think the original body mentioned to me before that they’ve already started their final exams.”

The young man is a special avatar created by Nan Fusheng: Cai Xukun. Nan Fusheng's original body has displayed the auras of Tang Wulin and Gu Yue in front of all his avatars, so he would not mistake them.

"I didn't originally intend to cause trouble, but if I remember correctly, they also seem to attack random Soul Masters, right? In that case, let me teach them a lesson. It just so happens that Tianling City hasn't been very peaceful lately, so I'll pin the blame on you."

Cai Xukun's lips curled up. After all, he was one of Nan Fusheng's clones, so he didn't mind causing trouble. He could also take advantage of this to ride on Shrek Academy's popularity.

Thinking of this, Cai Xukun turned on his soul-guided communicator, positioned the camera, and said, "Hello everyone. I am your host, Cai Xukun, a newcomer who has been interning for two and a half years."

Although some unpleasant things happened yesterday and affected the broadcast, today the host will officially lead everyone on a tour of the local delicacies of Tianling City.

Soon, a large number of comments appeared.

"Is the streamer alright? I remember someone died yesterday. Wasn't the streamer taken in for questioning by the Tianling City garrison?"

"More than that, I'm curious about what happened in Tianling City, and why people say the streamer was arrested?"

"My home is in Tianling City. Yesterday, the Tianling City garrison was attacked by unknown individuals, resulting in heavy casualties. They were all Soul Masters, some even wearing white and yellow mecha armor, but in the end, some were killed and others were injured."

The city is now on high alert, and everyone suspects it was the work of an evil spirit master. As for the streamer, while exploring a shop in Tianling City, a mecha suddenly crashed down, making him an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. At most, he'll be questioned; arresting him would be an overreaction.

"That's right, that's right. Don't forget that the streamer also knows the law enforcement officers of Tianling City."

"The whole city is under martial law now. It's a good thing the streamer still dared to go and explore the store. Isn't he afraid of running into an evil spirit master?"
