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

"I was just lucky that time. You all know my soul skill. If I'm unaware of the situation, it's easy to cause a 'first-time kill'. I took advantage of that evil soul master's arrogance to kill him."

Nan Fusheng scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said that what Long Hengxu had mentioned about the academy's rewards was what he was most concerned about. Indeed, good deeds are rewarded!

As for how the academy found out? After all, in the Soul Guidance Train incident, government personnel went missing, and the Federation tried its best to suppress the news, as evidenced by the fact that the attack on the Soul Guidance Train did not make it into the Federation news.

"It must have been the garrison of Sun and Moon City who said it. Although I had already firmly rejected their idea of ​​having the academy issue me a small red flag, it is still a big deal, so I reported it to the academy."

"Even so, this is still a demonstration of your ability." Wu Changkong rarely showed a smile as he said to Nan Fusheng, "Well done."

"Yeah, yeah! But I didn't expect you to be so well hidden, Fusheng. You even killed a Soul Master." Xie Xie's expression was exaggerated, and the others nodded in agreement.

"Unfortunately, I still couldn't save more people." The atmosphere had already reached this point, so what could Nan Fusheng do? Of course, he could only continue.

A single "crocodile tear" rolled down Nan Fusheng's cheek, and his face broke into a look of profound sorrow as he spoke in a heavy tone.

"This is not your fault. You have done your best. Think about those who were saved because of you. They were able to survive because of your help."

Wu Changkong said in a deep voice, "If you really feel guilty about this, then do your best to improve your strength so that you can save more people next time you encounter a similar event."

“Yes, yes! You’ve done a great job. If it were me, I probably couldn’t have done what you did,” Xie Xie agreed.

However, Gu Yue added insult to injury, "Indeed, if it were Xie Xie, he would probably be hiding in that corner trembling with fear."

"Who are you calling trembling?" Xie Xie (皿) roared angrily. Gu Yue had just tricked him, and now she was talking badly about him. It was outrageous.

This is what they mean by: when I'm your teammate, you're all meek and submissive; when I'm your enemy, you're ruthless and vicious.

Damn it, and Gu Yue was even worse. Xie Xie recalled that since entering Donghai Academy and meeting Gu Yue, his life had been full of hardships, and every time he argued with Gu Yue, he ended up losing.

In a contest of raw power, he was utterly crushed. Now, Gu Yue isn't even bothering to pretend anymore; she's directly targeting him. Does she really think he has no temper?

"Who do you think I'm talking about?" Gu Yue (﹁﹁)~→ gave a sidelong glance.

"Haha, yes, who are you talking about?" A good man doesn't argue with a woman, so I, Xie Xie, will hold back (／_＼).

After the two of them interrupted, the atmosphere became lively again.

Nan Fusheng then directly addressed Long Hengxu, saying, "Director Long, could you please discuss with the academy the possibility of exchanging my reward for an equivalent amount of Federal Currency?"

Long Hengxu frowned and said, "Are you sure? Child, you should know that thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are very rare. It's not worth it to directly exchange them for Federal Currency."

This was indeed Long Hengxu's inner thought. The reward Donghai Academy gave to Nan Fusheng this time was a thousand-year-old spiritual herb, but it did not specify which particular spiritual herb it was.

This presents a significant loophole, as some rare medicinal herbs are not only expensive but also extremely difficult to find on the market.

This time, Long Hengxu came to Class Zero with a catalog of spiritual herbs given to him by the academy for Nan Fusheng to choose from. Unexpectedly, the child did not want the spiritual herbs but wanted Federal Currency.

“Yes, I’m sure. Director Long, I choose Federal Currency.” Nan Fusheng said with extreme firmness.

Chapter 89 Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Three Styles

After all, he still had the energy he had painstakingly collected on the Soul Guidance Train that he hadn't absorbed yet, and this energy was enough for him to cultivate to the Soul King level.

Accepting a thousand-year-old spiritual herb now would be of little use to him; he might even have to spend time sending it to an auction to exchange for money. In that case, it would be better to just let the academy give him the money directly.

This way, there's no middleman taking a cut, and given his performance, the academy probably won't be stingy with these Federal Coins.

"Alright, since you insist, I'll talk to the academy and I should be able to give you the money by tomorrow afternoon," Long Hengxu said helplessly.

"Yes, thank you, Director Long."

"This is what you deserve." After saying that, Long Hengxu left. He was going to discuss with the dean not only about Nan Fusheng's matter, but also about the Tianhai Grand Competition.

"Get ready for tomorrow's battle. I'll be using my soul skills." With that, Wu Changkong left. Since Nan Fusheng also possessed the power to kill opponents at the Soul Master level...

Even if there was an element of trickery involved, Wu Changkong would still treat him seriously, so he directly modified the battle rules. Otherwise, he might very well suffer an unexpected defeat.

"Soul... Soul skill?" Xie Xie stammered. "Did I hear that right? Who is Teacher Wu? Is she going to use a soul skill on us? Are you kidding me?"

Tang Wulin's facial muscles were starting to twitch. He had personally witnessed just how powerful Teacher Wu's soul skills were. Even when her cultivation was suppressed to the same level as theirs, she could still use the Frost Mark and Frost Mist soul skills. Frost Mark alone would be enough to crush them, wouldn't it?

"It seems we need to study our tactics carefully," Nan Fusheng said seriously. He had also seen Wu Changkong's combat power through the Time Worm; the difference between using soul skills and not using soul skills was like night and day.

“Let’s go back and discuss it,” Xie Xie said without hesitation.

……

"Skysea Alliance Competition?"

"Yes, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be participating with the Blacksmiths' Association. I don't know if this is a good thing, which is why I'm asking you guys."

During lunch with the Class Zero members, Tang Wulin suddenly asked them this question. Upon hearing this, Xie Xie's eyes lit up immediately.

"This is great news! Our Federation has a total of eighteen first-tier cities, divided into five parts: east, south, west, north, and central."

Each region has several major cities. For example, the central region only has two first-tier cities: Heaven Dou City and Shrek City. Although few in number, they hold a pivotal position on the continent.

Our eastern region actually has the most first-tier cities, a total of five. The so-called Tianhai Alliance is an alliance of these five major coastal cities. Our Donghai City, as the second largest coastal city in the East China Sea, is prominently among them.

Hearing Xie Xie only giving introductions without mentioning specific content or key points, Nan Fusheng abruptly interrupted him.

"The so-called Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition is mainly for selecting outstanding talents, and it is also an opportunity for major cities to showcase their own strengths and development. It is a grand event held every three years."

Those who emerge as talents will have a bright future. Some of the most outstanding will even represent the Tianhai Alliance in the once-every-five-years All-Federation Grand Competition—a truly grand event for the entire continent.

"Is the All-Federation Grand Competition in Shrek City?" Xu Xiaoyan continued.

"Yes! It's in Shrek City. But Shrek Academy doesn't participate in the Grand Competition, otherwise, the results of the annual competition would probably be a foregone conclusion. Their status as the number one academy on the continent has never been shaken in ten thousand years."

Xie Xie, standing to the side, ruthlessly shattered her fantasy, "What chance is there? Our ages are just too inconvenient. I calculated it a long time ago. Next year is the All-Federation Grand Competition."

At that time, we were all eleven years old. The age range for the competition was ten to fifteen years old for the junior group, and it would be a huge disadvantage for us eleven to participate. After all, we would be facing the most outstanding geniuses in the entire Federation.

The prerequisite is that we can participate in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition this year and achieve at least a top-six finish in our age group. Only then will we be eligible to go to Shrek City.

As for the next competition, we'll be exactly sixteen, past the age limit for the federal competition's junior division, so we'll only be able to compete against the sixteen-to-twenty age group. It would be strange if we achieved any good results. So, we're just unlucky to have been born at the wrong time.

Gu Yue never indulged Xie Xie, and said directly, "So what if you're eleven? Who says an eleven-year-old can't win a championship? If you don't have confidence in yourself, who will have confidence in you? If you're going to do it, do it the best." After saying that, she stood up and went to wash the rice bowls.

Watching her leave, Xie Xie curled his lip. "It's not like we can all go to the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition. Only Wu Lin can go, okay?"

Nan Fusheng gave him a mysterious smile, "That's not necessarily true."

After saying that, he ignored Xie Xie's curious questions and continued eating. The food at the academy today was much better than usual, especially the sea cucumber. Not only did it taste good, but it also made him feel warm all over and indescribably comfortable.

We enjoyed a delicious meal and then gathered in the afternoon to discuss the dance instructor's abilities in order to develop targeted strategies.

"Fusheng, the ability you used to move Xiaoyan was your second soul skill, right? Can it also move people?"

Tang Wulin asked the question, and Xie Xie and Gu Yue also looked over curiously. They were also quite curious about the question, but they were too embarrassed to ask.

“That’s right, I also accidentally discovered this ability, and I named it: Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Three Styles,” Nan Fusheng admitted.

What the heck? Everyone was stunned by Nan Fusheng's choice of name.

"So, that Screw Flash? Um, does spatial teleportation only work by touching the target to move them?" Tang Wulin tried to pronounce the tongue-twisting name.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't say it, so he had to express it in other ways. I never expected that Fusheng would be such a terrible name-giver.

"No, I can also move with the other person by placing my soul inside them. However, there will be a delay if I do that, and currently it can only be done for a maximum of two people."

Furthermore, as long as I have enough soul power, I can freely switch positions with these two during this period.

Alternatively, if you find this name a mouthful, you can call it 'Ten-Touch Power', but of course, I'd prefer you to use its real name.

The essence of this ability is simply an alternative application of the 'door' ability; aside from touching the other party...

You can also teleport someone by placing a 'Star Bug' on them, but it will be slower.

Meanwhile, during this time, Nan Fusheng could also switch places with the other party. Originally, he wanted to cosplay Toudou Aoi from Jujutsu Kaisen, in a game called "Unjust Game," but after thinking about it, Nan Fusheng gave up the idea.

Chapter 90 The Curse of Shame

Everyone in Class Zero was astonished and didn't have time to complain about why a spatial ability was called "Heavenly Hand Power"—such a strange name.

The ability to teleport is already difficult to defend against, but now it can even move people and swap positions. Even with some limitations, this is still an extremely powerful ability.

“In that case, we’ll have many more tactical options in the future,” Tang Wulin said.

“Indeed.” Gu Yue nodded in agreement. Her spatial attribute ability granted her instant teleportation, which was limited to taking herself with her, but it also made her fighting style ever-changing, so she was the most qualified to speak about this ability.

After much deliberation, Nan Fusheng and his group of five concluded that there was only one way to counter this: cooperation.

"Xiaoyan, you said you're stronger at night. Can we see that after dinner?" Nan Fusheng asked Xu Xiaoyan. Only by understanding their partner better can they cooperate more effectively.

"Okay." Xu Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before readily agreeing.

In fact, before she came to school, her elders specifically told her not to show off her special abilities.

However, upon arriving here, Xu Xiaoyan was facing what could be described as the most outstanding geniuses in the entire Donghai City. The battle during the day had brought her immense pressure, and she knew very well that the most important factor in whether she could stay was whether she could gain the approval of these companions.

So, after a brief moment of thought, she agreed. She had to demonstrate her abilities; otherwise, why should she stay in a group of geniuses? Mere keen observation and precise control weren't enough to keep her there!

After dinner, night fell.

Nan Fusheng and his group of five arrived at the academy's playground and headed towards the grove of trees in the corner.

Aside from Nan Fusheng, who had anticipated this, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue were all very curious about Xu Xiaoyan's claim that she would be even stronger at night.

In the Douluo Continent, martial souls are incredibly diverse, and anything is possible. For example, Gu Yue's control over the six elements was unheard of before. What new wonders will Xu Xiaoyan bring?

The grove was dimly lit. Gu Yue raised her hand and held up a ball of golden light. A faint golden halo flowed in her palm, illuminating the surroundings.

Xie Xie, whose mind was always filled with 'dirty thoughts,' felt somewhat excited. Late at night, in the small woods of the academy, the tranquility gave him a sense of mystery and exhilarating pleasure.
