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

Meanwhile, at Tang Wulin's home, Lang Yue and Tang Ziran discussed the topic of "Tang Wulin learning forging." They decided to observe first, and if it didn't work out, they would ask Tang Wulin to give up.

At the dining table, Tang Wulin, whose arms were aching from forging, could only sit there, chewing hard while smiling at Na'er beside him, who was awkwardly feeding him bite by bite.

This scene left Tang Ziran and Lang Yue stunned. The two beautiful little figures sat there, presenting an extremely harmonious picture under the not-so-strong light.

"When school was over, I saw some bruises on Fusheng's body. Wulin, do you know what happened?"

At the dinner table, Lang Yue recalled what she had witnessed that afternoon and suddenly asked the question. Lang Yue wasn't usually one to meddle in other people's business, but Nan Fusheng and Tang Wulin had a good relationship, and she had a good impression of Nan Fusheng, so she asked the question casually.

"I don't know either. When I asked Fusheng this morning, he wouldn't say. He just said he's used to it," Tang Wulin said while eating.

Tang Wulin had also mentioned Nan Fusheng's matter to Tang Ziran on the day their family decided to adopt Na'er. At that time, Tang Ziran also told Tang Wulin to learn from Nan Fusheng's use of federal law to scare away those young people.

Tang Ziran frowned, thought for a moment, and decided to tell her family about some things she had learned during this time.

"I've been asking around about Nan Fusheng's family situation recently, and well, it's not very good."

Tang Ziran paused for a moment before continuing, "Nan Fusheng's father seems to have abandoned him and his mother, and his mother is also somewhat mentally unstable. She is very cold towards him and often beats and scolds him. She rarely leaves the house and orders food and drink through a soul communication device. Other neighbors tried to talk to her, but were turned away."

"As for Nan Fusheng, his situation is somewhat complicated." Tang Ziran's expression turned complicated as she said this.

"Tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense." Hearing this, Lang Yue's curiosity was piqued, and Tang Wulin and Na'er beside her were also staring at him curiously.

When Nan Fusheng was about four years old, he often ran errands for small restaurants in exchange for food.

Some well-meaning people tried to talk to his mother about the situation and ask her to take better care of the child, but she scolded them and even scratched and beat them. Over time, no one dared to interfere anymore.

"How could there be such parents in the world? Poor Xiao Fusheng, he actually had to encounter such parents."

Women are emotional, and Lang Yue, being a parent herself, felt even more sympathy for Nan Fusheng's situation.

Tang Wulin, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Nan Fusheng, who was being discussed, also felt his "magic potion" being rapidly absorbed by him.

"Indeed, this method can also be considered a scam."

Nan Fusheng's Sequence Eight "The Scammer" potion requires him to play the role of a "scammer."

Therefore, Nan Fusheng cultivated a "tragic background" persona for himself from a young age, in order to prepare for the next sequence of "potions".

This kind of pre-playing is also possible. In Lord of Mysteries, the protagonist Klein even made the Sequence One "Potion" melt instantly in his mouth at the end by pre-playing.

Nan Fusheng could feel that most of his "magic potion" had been digested, and the rest just needed time to grind it down, and that time wouldn't be too long.

"Although others also helped me with digestion, the main contributors were Tang Wulin and Na'er."

Chapter 9 Purpose

However, tonight he suddenly digested most of his "magic potion". The reason he could think of was that this morning, he deliberately let Tang Wulin and the others see what he was doing. They should be talking about him now.

"A scammer is someone who mainly defrauds and fools others, not necessarily someone who goes out to cheat others out of their money."

To be honest, this discovery relieved Nan Fusheng. After all, if he were to defraud others, the process would be slow and time-consuming if the amount was small. If the amount was too large, he might end up in jail.

This also gave Nan Fusheng a deeper understanding of acting. "Acting" is determined by one's own understanding of the profession, combined with the actor's inner world. Whether something is good or evil depends on the actor, and since everyone's personality is different, every "fraudster" has a different style of behavior.

Just like a "doctor," he can make medicine to save lives or poison to kill, but whether to use it and how to use it depends on himself.

The three pathways of the Mysterious Lord to which Nan Fusheng resides are "The Fool," "The Gate," and "The Error." The ritual of the first sequence of the "The Fool" pathway is:

Establish a town of Mystic Puppets, designing the unique destiny trajectory for each puppet, allowing them to interact and create a sufficiently realistic tapestry of life, giving rise to corresponding regions in the spirit world. The larger the town, the more puppets, the more detailed the daily routines, the more vivid, realistic, and enduring the different destinies, and the better the effect of the ritual.

However, building this "Mystic Puppet Town" is laborious and time-consuming, especially the task of "designing the destiny trajectory of each Mystic Puppet," which is equivalent to "building the life trajectory of everyone in the town and playing the role of everyone himself."

However, there is another way to succeed quickly: turning the entire population of a town into "secret puppets." This is both time-saving and labor-saving. However, it is equivalent to killing everyone in the town.

Which of these two methods to choose is a matter of opinion.

For Nan Fusheng, if years of preparation still can't overcome the "magic potion," then he'll have to try other methods to see if they constitute fraud.

For example, becoming an "auctioneer" and selling auction items at prices far exceeding their intrinsic value through eloquence and other means is a form of fraud, and it's also legal.

Going straight to defrauding others is the last and worst option, since it's not easy to find a fool.

Meanwhile, the progress of the "magic potion's" digestion also revealed to Nan Fusheng the special nature of "Tang Wulin" and "Na'er".

That is “Status”, which plays a crucial role in Lord of Mysteries, whether as a source of power, a channel for energy supply, or a symbol of authority and influence.

It is essentially a higher form of extraordinary ability that has a permanent effect on the body and soul. For example, certain "potions" may cause permanent changes to the user's body, such as increasing height or changing gender. These side effects caused by potions do not disappear even after the extraordinary ability is lost.

Tang Wulin and Na'er, one has the Golden Dragon King's divine core sealed in his body, and the other is the Silver Dragon King himself. Even though they have now transformed into human form, their status will not change.

As for Tang Wulin, the Golden Dragon King's divine core seems to be considered part of him as well.

"At the current pace, my 'potion' should be fully digested in the next few days."

Nan Fusheng wasn't too surprised by the speed at which the potion was digested; in fact, he thought it was a bit slow.

"It might be because Tang Wulin hasn't broken the seal of the Golden Dragon King yet, or the concepts of the two worlds are somewhat different. After all, the world of 'Lord of Mysteries' is more inclined towards the 'Cthulhu' theme."

Although it was a little different from what he had imagined, Nan Fusheng was not too disappointed.

However, this also convinced him of the importance of building a good relationship with Tang Wulin.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will probably be following Tang Wulin for a long time. At the same time, this is also a prelude to "stealing" the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King in the future.

In the adult world, there are no emotions, only interests. For Nan Fusheng, the "Golden Dragon King bloodline" may not be necessary, but he still likes to leave a foreshadowing, just in case it comes in handy in the future.

However, at this stage, Nan Fusheng's main focus is still on maintaining a good relationship with Tang Wulin. After all, although Tang Hao and Ah Yin are guarding against the Abyss invasion, they are not incapable of taking action in the Douluo Continent.

Putting everything else aside, when Nan Fusheng and Tang Wulin first encountered 'Na'er' that day, even though it was only for a moment, Nan Fusheng suddenly felt a pang of fear in his heart.

At first, he thought it was an illusion, but in retrospect, it was probably a warning from "Source Castle" or his own spirituality.

The encounter between Tang Wulin and Na'er was definitely orchestrated by either of them or Tang San.

After all, the Silver Dragon King had just taken human form when an accident happened, he just happened to be stranded outside, and he just happened to be encountered by these thugs when he was almost captured.

Something just doesn't make sense. Di Tian and the others went there, and it took them three years to find them.

At least when Tang Wulin met Na'er, Tang Hao and his wife, Ah Yin, were definitely paying attention. If he had dared to intercept her back then, their Tang family's "daughter-in-law" would probably have been hit by a soul-guided car while walking, or encountered an evil soul master and been shot dead.

Besides these, there are also the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python.

In any case, he will not make a move against Tang Wulin until he reaches 'Sequence Two' or can freely borrow the abilities of Sequence Two without paying too much price.

The thief's sequence zero, in the "error" path, is sequence two, the "Trojan Horse of Fate," also known as the "Fate Thief." It can manipulate the fate of others, causing them to make certain mistakes within a certain timeframe; this is considered exploiting loopholes in fate.

Simply put, it means being able to steal someone else's fate and take their place, turning them into someone without destiny, severing all ties with the real world, and slowly dying—this is the true meaning of "social death."

With this ability, he could even try to obtain some of Tang Wulin's future "opportunities." Small opportunities were fine, but he couldn't let go of the big ones.

For example, if Tang Wulin is drugged with aphrodisiacs in the future, Gu Yuena might use a "fate-stealing" move to help him. The scene would be... tsk tsk.

Chapter 10 The Dream Thief and Obtaining Souls

The next morning, Nan Fusheng opened his eyes. He had cultivated all night, and of course, the reason he broke through was due to the digestion of the "magic potion".

During the digestion process of the "magic potion," his soul power circulated rapidly. Nan Fusheng only partially understood the principle behind it. The process of digesting the magic potion would enhance Nan Fusheng's physical fitness and inner strength.

At the same time, during this process, Nan Fusheng's soul power was also stimulated to cultivate, and its circulation speed was dozens of times faster than usual.

Of course, this only happens when the "potion" is digested quickly, which is roughly equivalent to giving him a "temporary buff to accelerate cultivation".

As Nan Fusheng had predicted, Tang Wulin would occasionally glance at him at school, his eyes filled with sympathy. Tang Wulin's mother, Lang Yue, would also invite him to her home to play with Na'er after school.

Nan Fusheng verbally agreed, but he didn't plan to go often. He just wanted to get acquainted with Na'er. After all, no matter how much he tried to gain her favor, it would never be as good as the Golden Dragon King bloodline of Tang Wulin.

Besides, Ah Yin and her husband are also a problem. After all, the development of Tang Wulin and Na'er's relationship definitely involved them.

This is probably one of the reasons why Na'er wouldn't immediately attack when she discovers Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline after regaining her memories.

Thus, Nan Fusheng's daily routine consisted of cultivating and figuring out his acting techniques. Of course, after Na'er started school, he still had to go out and beat people up with Tang Wulin, because it was proven on the day of Na'er's awakening that she didn't actually have a martial soul. Therefore, she could only attend a regular class.

Meanwhile, because Na'er was beautiful, she aroused jealousy among her female classmates and also attracted the curiosity of her male classmates, who would harass her from time to time. However, since Na'er was in a regular class, their opponents were mostly ordinary people without soul power, so they were not too difficult to defeat.

Under such circumstances, time slowly passed.

Three years later……

"Dad, Mom, I've saved enough money! I've saved enough!" Tang Wulinfei rushed into the house, shouting excitedly.

Nan Fusheng, who lived next door, also heard the shout and smiled, "Finally level 10? It wasn't for nothing that I waited for more than a year."

After three years, Nan Fusheng has grown to over 1.4 meters tall, several points taller than his peers. He has a moderate build, neither too thin nor too fat, and doesn't appear particularly strong. With age, his face has become increasingly handsome.

A pair of dark eyes, without any apparent connection, give people a sense of depth.

For Nan Fusheng, he could have obtained the soul a year ago, but he did not do so.

Because his innate soul power is only level one, it is unlikely that he can cultivate at a very fast speed. Of course, the main reason is that he has to wait for Tang Wulin.

Reaching Level 10 before graduating from junior college will qualify you for a college recommendation letter, making it much easier to enter intermediate college.

But he wasn't sure if the college's recommendation letter was standard; if it wasn't, then he'd be in trouble.

For Nan Fusheng, the difference between becoming a Soul Master a year earlier or a year later was tolerable. After all, it wasn't that he couldn't cultivate; it was just that Soul Masters couldn't cultivate as quickly.

However, he definitely wants to go to the intermediate academy in Donghai City. The future Shrek Seven Devils, Wu Changkong, and of course, the Silver Dragon King's half-body "Gu Yue" are also people he can get in touch with.

After three years, once his soul power reached level ten, Nan Fusheng focused on acting. Now he is a Sequence Five "Dream Thief".

Now his theft: He can take away other people's ideals and dreams. He can steal other people's memories, and he can steal the ideas that the other person is about to put into practice, causing them to be temporarily stunned. However, during this stage, he cannot retain the stolen ideas, and he must take corresponding actions on behalf of the stolen object.
