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

Watching Xie Xie shouting and yelling, Wu Changkong secretly made a mental note of it, thinking he would definitely have to give Xie Xie a good beating in the future.

He contributed little to the entire competition, and when he attacked Tang Wulin at the end, he hindered Gu Yue, preventing her from providing support. Even after winning, he was still shouting and yelling, as if he wanted everyone to know he had won.

Xie Xie, standing to the side, was unaware that Wu Changkong had already written down his name; he only instinctively felt a chill.

"Nan Fusheng, use your soul skill on me again," Wu Changkong said to Nan Fusheng.

"Okay." Nan Fusheng didn't waste any words and directly used Steal on Wu Changkong.

As the light of the ten-year soul ring flashed, Wu Changkong held his breath and focused intently on Nan Fusheng, accompanied by another wave of dizziness.

"Nan Fusheng, would you mind telling me about your own soul skills?" Wu Changkong asked Nan Fusheng directly, as asking about a soul master's soul skills was a major taboo.

Unless it's a close friend, they usually don't ask, which is why Wu Changkong sought Nan Fusheng's opinion.

"The stronger the opponent, the shorter the time I can control them. As for the range, as long as the opponent is within my line of sight or under my mental lock, I can use it," Nan Fusheng said, half-jokingly.

"A soul skill that can strip someone of their consciousness? A soul skill that can allow a Soul Master to control me, a Soul Emperor, for a short period of time... it seems his martial soul might be even more powerful than I thought. The Time Worm? Time?"

Just as Wu Changkong was deep in thought, he saw the thousand-forged heavy silver hammer that had broken his wooden sword.

"There's something strange about this hammer of yours."

Wu Changkong came to his senses and looked at Tang Wulin, who was retrieving the hammer. Nan Fusheng's soul skill had indeed controlled him, but it was Tang Wulin's hammer that had played a decisive role.

Tang Wulin said, "This is a heavy silver hammer, which is heavier than an ordinary forging hammer."

"How heavy is it! Let me see." Xie Xie was very interested in the hammer that could break Teacher Wu's wooden sword. He quickly ran over and grabbed the Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer from Tang Wulin's hand.

"Clang!" The moment the heavy silver hammer left Tang Wulin's hand, it fell directly to the ground, and the huge inertia caused Xie Xie to fall flat on his face.

"Ouch!" Xie Xie cried out in pain. "What...what is this thing? How can it be so heavy?"

Wu Changkong walked over, picked up the thousand-forged heavy silver hammer, and couldn't help but be moved. No wonder his wooden sword had been broken; the weight of this hammer…

"A single handle weighs approximately 150 kilograms."

Wu Changkong asked, "There were three streams of power it just transmitted. Was that under your control, or something else?"

Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's the hammer's own ability. After metal is forged a thousand times, it will produce some uncertain special effects. My Heavy Silver Hammer also has this, it's called the Stacked Hammer."

Although Wu Changkong didn't understand forging, he could still tell how valuable the pair of Thousand-Refined Silver Hammers were. He nodded slightly and said, "You have a lot of talent in forging? I did some research and found out that Mu Xi, who challenged you to a forging contest today, is the daughter of the president of the East Sea City Forging Masters Association."

"Yes, I am a blacksmith." Recalling the courtesy he received at the Blacksmith Association, Tang Wulin felt much better.

Wu Changkong's eyes showed a thoughtful look. He raised his hand and said to Tang Wulin, "Come, hold my hand."

“Pull me up with all your might, let me feel just how strong you are,” Wu Changkong said.

"Oh," Tang Wulin responded, took a deep breath, and exerted force with both arms, pulling back with all his might.

Wu Changkong was well prepared this time, standing there motionless like a nail.

Tang Wulin's face gradually turned red as he gave it his all. Although Wu Changkong did not move, the faint fluctuations of his soul power showed that he was not so relaxed. At least he needed to use his soul power to avoid being pulled by Tang Wulin.

"Alright." After a moment, Wu Changkong called for a halt.

Tang Wulin then withdrew his strength.

A strange look flashed across Wu Changkong's cold face as he patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder. "The four of you will fight together in the promotion tournament. If your strength can reach this level, then our tactics will become interesting."

Chapter 27 Promotion Tournament Begins

When Nan Fusheng returned to his dormitory, he was exhausted, but he still managed to sit cross-legged and enter a meditative state.

"The current cultivation speed has reached its limit. If you want to improve it further, you can only try to improve your physical fitness or strengthen your meridians."

Previously, when the students of Class 5 were fighting against Wu Changkong, Nan Fusheng had already taken down his three roommates.

The 'Time Worm' on his body (hereinafter referred to as the Time Worm) was recovered, and then during the battle with Wu Changkong, while using Steal, he secretly parasitized Wu Changkong.

"Wu Changkong truly lives up to his reputation as a Soul Emperor. His cultivation speed alone is equivalent to that of the eight people I previously possessed. Moreover, is this speed of soul power circulation the Mysterious Heaven Technique?"

After successfully possessing Wu Changkong, Nan Fusheng couldn't wait to test how fast a Soul Emperor's cultivation speed could be. To prevent Wu Changkong from discovering this,

Nan Fusheng parasitized three "Time Worms" at once (which affected Wu Changkong's senses while he was cultivating, causing him to ignore the slowdown in his soul power cultivation).

"It seems that even a sixth-ring Soul Emperor can't detect my parasitism. Wu Changkong probably isn't pretending not to notice it, but is trying to set a trap."

Why do we say that? Because the people of the Tang Clan value their martial arts techniques and unique skills more than their own lives.

When Nan Fusheng was parasitizing Wu Changkong's body, he could clearly sense the operating route of the Tang Sect's martial arts techniques.

Given Wu Changkong's personality, he wouldn't use the purpose of entrapment to expose the Tang Clan's precious techniques to Nan Fusheng, at least not before Nan Fusheng became a Tang Clan disciple.

After thinking it over, Nan Fusheng retrieved two Time Worms from the senior students, otherwise keeping them would be a waste of time.

Nan Fusheng can absorb the soul power of others for cultivation, and he can also absorb the soul power generated by others during their cultivation process.

However, absorbing energy is one thing, but it's not some kind of star-absorbing technique. In addition, Nan Fusheng's meridian strength and other limitations mean that he can only maintain a soul power cultivation at a certain extreme intensity.

Unless he chooses to directly absorb the life force and soul power of others, instead of absorbing the soul power generated during their cultivation as he is doing now.

Currently, Nan Fusheng has three Time Worms parasitizing Wu Changkong: three for senior students and three for himself, waiting to find a suitable target.

Starting the next day, Tang Wulin was granted special permission to skip physical training. The reason was simple.

In Wu Changkong's view, his physical abilities were inferior to Tang Wulin's, and ordinary training was of little use to a prodigy like Tang Wulin with such extraordinary talent. It would be better to spend his time on other cultivation methods, such as how to better control the Blue Silver Grass.

Nan Fusheng, who also possesses exceptional physical abilities, was granted special permission by Wu Changkong to focus on cultivating his soul power and researching his martial soul.

On the third day of physical education class, many of the other students in Class 5 of Grade 1 finally collapsed from exhaustion. From that day on, the schedule returned to physical education in the morning and theory class in the afternoon.

With only half a day of physical training classes, the trainees found it much easier and no one complained.

Nan Fusheng, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue underwent a mental strength test, and the results were astonishing. Xie Xie's mental strength was 29, which was a very good result among his peers, approaching the mid-stage of the Spirit Origin Realm.

Tang Wulin's mental strength was 44, directly placing him at the mid-stage of the Spirit Origin Realm. However, he didn't mention that his previous test only showed 38. His mental strength had improved considerably in such a short time.

Their combined spiritual power had already brought Wu Changkong some surprises, but compared to Nan Fusheng and Gu Yue, they were really inconspicuous.

In the realm of spiritual power, the initial level is the Spiritual Origin Realm. Once the spiritual power test value exceeds one hundred, one directly enters another level, known as the Spiritual Connection Realm.

The Spiritual Connection Realm signifies spiritual enlightenment and the ability to communicate one's thoughts and intentions. Reaching the Spiritual Connection Realm marks the beginning of mastering one's spiritual power, allowing one to truly control one's own spiritual power for one's own use, and enabling one to carry two yellow spirits or one purple spirit.

Wu Changkong then confirmed that Gu Yue's Martial Soul Elementalist was likely actually a rare spiritual Martial Soul, which communicated with and was used by her through powerful spiritual energy and elements.

Spiritual Soul Masters are the rarest and most sought-after in the world today because they are the most compatible with mecha. This also makes Wu Changkong value Nan Fusheng and Gu Yue even more.

Of course, the training intensity will be the same; the more valued you are by the aloof male god, the greater the training volume will be.

The following days were very fulfilling. I practiced and meditated diligently six days a week, and spent the remaining day practicing in my dormitory or visiting other dormitories to hone my "dream thief" skills by observing their experiences and stealing dreams.

Basically, whichever student Nan Fusheng took a liking to, he would directly parasitize them with the Time Worm, and then at night, he would steal their dreams through the Time Worm on their bodies. However, the targets of his theft were mostly students from the intermediate level.

Fulfilling days always pass quickly, and two months have gone by in the blink of an eye. Nan Fusheng's soul power has reached level sixteen, basically level one per month. Until this day, Wu Changkong called him, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue to his office and told them that the first match of the promotion competition would begin next week.

In just over two months, everyone has changed quite a bit. Most importantly, under Wu Changkong's inhuman "special training," they've developed a very strong teamwork, and the relationship between the four of them is quite harmonious. Well, except for Xie Xie, who is occasionally stared at by Gu Yue with a look as if he were a "burden."

Undoubtedly, Gu Yue is the strongest among the four. Even when facing Nan Fusheng, she only needs to first use light element to obscure his vision, then use spatial element to teleport, followed by a barrage of fireballs, ice spikes, and wind blades. Nan Fusheng would be helpless against her. Only Gu Yue, who has mastered multiple elements, could pull off such a feat.

Despite Xie Xie exerting all his strength during the special training, he still couldn't catch up with Gu Yue.

However, after more than two months, Xie Xie's soul power had already reached level nineteen. With one more level up, he could absorb the second soul ring from his hundred-year-old soul spirit and advance to the rank of Great Soul Master.

Gu Yue's soul power reached level seventeen, advancing two levels. Although Tang Wulin possessed the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, he diligently practiced martial soul control every day. Coupled with advanced meditation techniques and Wu Changkong's guidance, his soul power also increased by one level, reaching level twelve.

"Teacher, who will Class 4 send to compete against us? Do you know any information?" Xie Xie asked Wu Changkong eagerly.

Wu Changkong coldly said, "If you need information to defeat a mere Class Four, do you even deserve to be my disciples? Next week's competition, your only task is to crush them! Do you understand?"

"Yes!" the four responded in unison.

Chapter 28 Winning streak

"The first match of the new school year's promotion competition, Class 4 of Grade 1 versus Class 5 of Grade 1, begin!"

With a loud shout from Long Hengxu, the four students of Class 4, Grade 1, released their spirit rings almost simultaneously.

Four white spirit rings rose beneath their feet. Galon, standing at the forefront, took a sudden step forward, his body swelling slightly, letting out a low growl. His originally brown eyes turned yellow, and his arms became noticeably thicker. He charged forward with long strides.

Lin Zunyuan muttered something to himself, and a slender staff appeared in his hand. A halo of light flashed beneath his feet, and a beam of red light shot out from the tip of the staff, landing on Galon.

A hint of bloodlust appeared in Galon's yellow eyes, and his body swelled up again, charging towards Tang Wulin with an imposing aura.

Moss, on the other side, flashed and hid behind Galon.

Kato Taka remained unchanged, but his hand suddenly grew larger as he charged towards the four of them.

Their swift and coordinated actions clearly showed that they were well-trained and not just a few randomly selected people as their homeroom teacher, Kong Hanwen, had previously claimed.

Galon is a power-attack type Soul Master, and his Martial Soul is likely wolf-like. Moss is an agility-attack type Soul Master, but his Martial Soul is still unclear. Lin Zunyuan, on the other hand, is a support type Soul Master, and his first Soul Skill is an amplification type.

Kato Taka is also a powerful attack-type Soul Master, and his Martial Soul is an extremely rare Body Martial Soul. Even Wu Changkong was surprised when he saw Kato Taka's Martial Soul.

Two strong attackers, one agile attacker, and one amplifying attacker – these three types of Soul Masters make a very good combination.

On the other hand, the four members of Class 5, including Nan Fusheng, did not release their spirit rings immediately. Except for Nan Fusheng, Tang Wulin and the other two rushed towards the enemy almost simultaneously.

Xie Xie almost instantly approached Galon, who was charging at the front. However, he did not attack Galon. Instead, he dodged to the side and rushed towards Lin Zunyuan behind him.

"Moss!" Galon shouted. Moss, who had been hiding behind him, immediately chased after Xie Xie.

Once an agility-based Soul Master gets close to a support-based Soul Master, the support-based Soul Master will be eliminated in an instant.
