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

Xie Xie screamed, "I'm afraid of heights, what should I do?"

Tang Wulin said irritably, "I'm afraid of pain too. How many times did you stab me yesterday?" Before Xie Xie could retort, he had already pulled him in front of him and hugged him from behind.

A flash of azure light appeared, and Xie Xie felt his entire body become lighter, as if much of his weight had been neutralized. In the next instant, he soared into the air as if riding on clouds.

From below the stage, Ye Yingrong saw Tang Wulin hug Xie Xie, then spin him around rapidly before throwing him into the air.

"Can someone really throw someone that high?" Ye Yingrong was genuinely startled. However, she quickly regained her composure.

The Gu brothers are triplets with flying martial spirits. After enrolling, she focused her training on them, focusing on aerial combat and teamwork. With only one opponent airborne, wasn't this giving the three brothers an opportunity to launch a coordinated attack?

In mid-air, Gu Tianri calmly made a hand gesture. Facing Xie Xie rushing towards him, he did not directly engage in battle, but instead flapped his wings to stop his forward momentum and abruptly stopped in mid-air.

Their greatest advantage is flight; they are not afraid of fighting in the air.

Attacking Xie Xie when he is weak and falls will naturally have a miraculous effect.

Gu Tianri was about to retreat when a strange power suddenly surged into his mind, causing Gu Tianming's mind to go blank. Xie Xie slapped the Light Dragon Dagger on his head and stomped on his shoulder with his right foot, launching himself into the air like a roc spreading its wings, pouncing towards Gu Tianyue who was closer.

"Gu Tianri enters the arena." Long Hengxu, who had been watching clearly from below, announced the end of Gu Tianri's match. Just a moment ago, if Xie Xie had wanted to kill him, his throat would have already been slit.

"What?" Gu Tianyue and Gu Tianming couldn't believe that their elder brother had been defeated so easily. But with a wave of dizziness, the remaining two also lost their senses and were defeated when Xie Xie slapped them on the head with the Light Dragon Dagger, ending the battle.

The three people on the ground watched as Xie Xie dealt with the three others, but they did not let their guard down. They knew very well that there was another person on the field.

Gu Yue reached out and summoned a gust of wind element around Xie Xie, helping to alleviate his downward momentum.

Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows at the edge of the arena. It was Makoto Ito. Just as the three were about to make their move and give him a "righteous beating," they saw Makoto Ito raise his hands and say, "I surrender, I surrender."

Makoto Ito's martial soul is named Shadow Wolf, and his first soul skill is called Hidden Shadow. He just took advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was drawn to the release of the martial souls by the three Gu brothers...

He released his martial spirit and lurked into the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Unfortunately, he didn't find a chance until all three Gu brothers were defeated, and he had no choice but to admit defeat. He didn't want to be ganged up on!

"Class 5 of Grade 1 wins!" Long Hengxu's voice was clearly filled with shock when he said these words.

Chapter 30 Promotion Tournament Postponed

After the match, Wu Changkong glanced at the four people on the stage below, but did not comment on their battle before heading towards the dormitory building.

"Is Teacher Wu satisfied or dissatisfied with us?" Xie Xie asked Tang Wulin, puzzled.

Tang Wulin shrugged. "How would I know? But I guess they're letting us figure it out ourselves."

Gu Yue nodded. "We shouldn't have taken the initiative. When Ito Makoto disappeared, our first reaction was to attack the Gu brothers instead of guarding against Ito Makoto's sneak attack."

If we continue to defend on the ground, the three in the sky will have no choice but to take the initiative and will naturally come within our attack range. Once they come down, we will have no chance at all.

If they insist on running away with their flying martial spirit, there's nothing we can do, but in this kind of competition, they have absolutely no chance.

But Makoto Ito is different. If he had seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, he might have been able to eliminate one of us. We can't be so impulsive next time.”

Xie Xie turned to Tang Wulin beside him and said, "Wulin, she said you're impulsive. I'm not one to stir up trouble. I don't know what kind of temper you have. If she said that about me, I wouldn't stand for it."

Tang Wulin sincerely said to Gu Yue, "It was my first time facing a flying Soul Master, and I was indeed impulsive at the time. I'm sorry!"

Xie Xie exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, I have to say, you have such a good temper. She criticized you, and you even apologized."

Gu Yue chuckled. "Sowing discord won't work. To put it mildly, it's called admitting your mistakes and correcting them; to put it more broadly, it's called gentlemanly conduct. Do you think everyone is as petty as you? Wu Lin, I'll treat you to a Class A meal tonight. But just one."

Tang Wulin laughed and said, "Alright! Even a fly is meat. Let's go. I'm hungry."

Nan Fusheng watched the three of them playfully bickering quietly. After the competition yesterday, the three of them went out together, and their relationship seemed to have become much more harmonious.

At least Gu Yue no longer looked at Xie Xie with the eyes of someone looking at "small fry". Although the two of them still bickered, it was more like playful fighting between friends.

After dinner, Xie Xie suggested going outside the academy for some fun, but Nan Fusheng and Tang Wulin refused outright. Tang Wulin's reason for refusing was simple: he needed to cultivate.

Nan Fusheng had just begun meditating when he saw Wang Ba and the other two walk in. "It's bad, it's bad! Fusheng, you'd better go out and see! A group of people are blocking the entrance to our academy. They seem to be quite powerful. And... and they're holding photos of Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue, demanding that the academy hand them over."

Upon hearing this, Nan Fusheng raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry about them, they'll be fine." After saying that, Nan Fusheng ignored Wang Ba and the others and continued his cultivation.

Early in the morning, Nan Fusheng went straight to the cafeteria for breakfast, but he noticed that Tang Wulin seemed to be preoccupied.

Xie Xie, on the other hand, was chatting energetically with Tang Wulin. When he saw Nan Fusheng, he winked at him and said, "Fusheng, you probably don't know what happened yesterday!"

"What happened? Are you referring to the incident yesterday when Teacher Wu displayed her power and gave Guang Biao, the captain of the Donghai City Mech Brigade, a severe beating?"

"How did you know?" Xie Xie asked in shock.

"Everyone in the entire academy knows about this. How did you manage to offend them?" Nan Fusheng rolled his eyes and said.

"Oh, that makes sense, but we didn't mess with him, we messed with his brother." Xie Xie's expression turned indignant as he recounted how despicable Guang Biao's brother, Guang Long, was—bullying men and women, committing all sorts of evil deeds—and how they had fought a fierce battle to defeat him. He concluded by saying…

"However, you must not have seen Teacher Wu's battle scene with your own eyes. He defeated Guang Biao, who was also a six-ring Soul Emperor, with just two sword strikes."

Yesterday, Xie Xie personally experienced the battle between Wu Changkong and Guang Biao through the Time Worm that was parasitizing Wu Changkong, but he didn't tell Xie Xie about it.

Eating, studying, and the class promotion competition—that's how Nan Fusheng's day went.

However, Nan Fusheng noticed that Tang Wulin and his two companions were pointed at and talked about a lot throughout the day, naturally because of the incident at the door the previous day.

To the surprise of many, Tang Wulin and his two companions were not punished by the academy; everything remained normal, as if nothing had happened.

Even more students gathered to watch Wu Changkong, and many teachers joined in as well. Yesterday's battle had elevated the aloof male god's reputation to a new level within the academy; he was no longer just the girls' idol, but the entire academy's.

But Wu Changkong himself didn't react to any of this and remained unchanged.

In the after-school match against Class 2 of Grade 1, Nan Fusheng, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie didn't exert much effort, as their opponents only had one Soul Master with a yellow hundred-year Soul Ring. Facing the coordinated attack of Nan Fusheng's four teammates, they had no answer. With Gu Yue's firepower support, Xie Xie easily defeated his opponents.

With three wins out of three matches, plus yesterday's gate-blocking incident, Class 5 of Grade 1 has finally become the focus of attention.

Tomorrow is a rest day. After the rest day, they will face the challenge against Class 1 of the first year. Class 1 of each grade is completely different from the other classes because it is full of the most outstanding geniuses of that year. For at least twenty years, Donghai Academy has not had a record of Class 1 of the same grade being defeated by a subsequent class in the promotion competition.

On their day off, Tang Wulin and his two companions invited Nan Fusheng to go to the East China Sea Museum, but Nan Fusheng declined, saying he had other commitments.

After the three of them left, Nan Fusheng watched their retreating figures and thought, "Is Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline finally about to break through the first seal?"

The auction house in Donghai City is jointly organized with the Donghai Museum.

Although Nan Fusheng had only been in Donghai City for a short time, he had used the ability of the Time Worm to steal dreams and obtained a lot of information from some of the teachers, including details about the distribution of various forces in Donghai City and the detailed address of the auction house.

That's right, Nan Fusheng has finally made a move against the teacher. Ever since he discovered that he could not be detected even if he parasitized the Soul Emperor, Nan Fusheng has been collecting the Time Worms from the senior students.

He parasitized some of the teachers. The recruitment requirements for teachers at Donghai Academy were that they must have a cultivation level of at least four-ring Soul Master, which was better than those students. However, he just randomly chose one or two to parasitize, after all, he now had Wu Changkong, a 'Soul Emperor' level power bank.

However, they can't always rely on Wu Changkong for support; they need to switch partners occasionally, since Wu Changkong is, to some extent, their backer.

"If I remember correctly, there will be a strong typhoon that lasts for a week next, which will cause the promotion competition to be suspended, giving Tang Wulin time to collect the spiritual items needed to break through the seal of the Golden Dragon King. I wonder if Ah Yin and her husband did it."

Nan Fusheng thought about it a lot, but in the end he decided to cultivate first. Only when he became strong enough would he be able to seek opportunities.

Sure enough, around dusk, the college's loudspeaker suddenly came on.

"Attention teachers and students! Attention teachers and students! This is an emergency announcement. We have received notification from the meteorological department that a strong tropical storm will arrive tonight, and this typhoon is expected to last for more than a week. Therefore, please do not leave the college for the next week. All classes are suspended, please stay in your dormitories. The promotion competition is suspended and will resume after the typhoon passes."

Chapter 31 The Final Battle Begins with Wang Billy

Tunghai College.

The typhoon that struck Donghai City came very suddenly, causing a huge impact on the entire city. Shops were unable to operate, schools were closed, and traffic was paralyzed in a short period of time. All departments of the General Administration of Government were extremely busy.

The typhoon lasted for a whole week. At its strongest, it could even uproot large trees and damage many buildings.

Fortunately, it's all over now.

After the typhoon, the air in Donghai City felt exceptionally fresh, carrying a light mist. Sunlight streamed down, and occasionally, rainbows could be seen on the horizon. The sky was a clear, cloudless blue.

When Nan Fusheng stepped into the classroom, he saw Xie Xie sitting there restlessly. When Xie Xie saw Nan Fusheng, his eyes lit up. "Fusheng, have you seen Wu Lin?"

"Wu Lin? No, what happened?" Although Nan Fusheng knew roughly what Tang Wu Lin's situation was, he decided to play dumb. Anyway, Tang Wu Lin would probably make it in time.

Even without Tang Wulin, whether it's three against three or four against four, it doesn't make much difference to him.

"I don't know what's wrong with this guy? He hasn't responded to calls yet. His communicator seems to be out of power, it's unreachable now," Xie Xie said anxiously.

"Do you know where his studio is? Should we go find him at noon?" Gu Yue, who was standing next to him, also frowned, her eyes showing worry.

Xie Xie smiled wryly, "I have no interest in forging, so how would I know where his workshop is? He even called me that day to tell me he would be in the workshop the whole time. If he's there, nothing should have happened to him! How come we haven't heard from him yet? Has he forgotten the time?"

Gu Yue's face darkened. "What do you know? We'll go to the Blacksmiths' Association at noon. They might register the location of his workshop there."

For once, Xie Xie didn't refute Gu Yue's words, and nodded, saying, "That's a good idea. We'll go in a bit."

Tang Wulin still hadn't appeared by noon when school let out. Xie Xie, Nan Fusheng, and Gu Yue went to ask Wu Changkong for leave and then rushed out of the school, heading straight for the Forging Masters Association.

However, half an hour later, when they walked out of the Blacksmith Association, they all looked depressed.

The Blacksmiths Association's response was simple: information about any blacksmith registered with the association is confidential and cannot be disclosed unless they have special official certification. Furthermore, information about Tang Wulin is classified at a higher level than that of ordinary blacksmiths.

"What should we do now? Should we ask Teacher Wu to apply for official permission and then ask him where he lives?" Gu Yue asked Xie Xie.

Xie Xie smiled wryly, "It's too late! Official permits aren't easy to obtain; they always take time. We definitely can't finish today, so tonight's match will probably only have the three of us. Wu Lin isn't an unreliable person! Something must have happened to him, otherwise he wouldn't be skipping school."

Nan Fusheng also frowned. "Let's go back first. No matter what, we should ask Teacher Wu to apply for official permission first. The safety of Wu Lin is more important than the competition."

"Ah."

"Official permission?" Wu Changkong looked at the three disciples in front of him, his already cold face becoming even more gloomy.

Tang Wulin hasn't come to class yet, and we haven't been able to find him anywhere.

"Alright, you guys go back to class now, I understand," Wu Changkong said coldly.

"Teacher, will it be just the three of us competing tonight?" Xie Xie asked.
