Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 11 Applying Knowledge

The millennium-old soul skill Thunderous Fury and the amplification of dragon transformation took effect simultaneously, greatly increasing Yu Chenyu's aura. Facing such an opponent, Gongyang Mo, standing behind Wang Nan, also revealed his martial soul.

"Take this!"

Wang Nan shouted.

Yu Chenyu looked in the direction of the voice and first saw several ice walls rising up around him, followed by a dazzling display.

Who says good looks can't put food on the table? Gongyang Mo's wings shimmered with seven-colored light, reflecting off the ice wall created by Ling Luochen, instantly turning half of the arena into a seven-colored spectacle. Yu Chenyu only felt a momentary blur before his opponent's figure vanished.

Influenced by what had just happened, Yu Chenyu's mind was already in a mess. When he saw the maze-like ice walls around him, he lost his composure and waved his hands wildly.

Without the enhancement of soul skills, the ice wall formed solely by ice control ability would naturally not be very sturdy. Yu Chenyu's random attacks actually managed to create a passage.

But this brief delay is enough.

As the light of Gongyang Mo's first and third soul skills descended, enveloping Wang Nan, Wang Nan's body sank, his hands gripping the Panlong Staff horizontally, his upper arms pressed tightly against his body, his consciousness sinking into the sea of ​​his spirit. Just as Yu Chenyu appeared, Wang Nan pushed off with his right foot, his waist generating power, and the Panlong Staff in his hands drew a semi-circle.

As Yu Chenyu broke through the ice wall, he saw a huge tail lashing towards his waist. Even more strangely, there were two yellow soul rings, one deep and one shallow, nested on the tail, which were now shining brightly.

Tong Lan's view was blocked by the ice wall at the other end of the arena, and her auxiliary soul skill had long lost its effect due to the loss of the target. At this time, without the support of her teammates, how could Yu Chenyu possibly stop Wang Nan's sweeping attack with the boost of four soul skills?

Before Yu Chenyu could even feel the pain in his wrist after the blow, he was sent flying into the air and landed outside the arena.

Tong Lan, who had just arrived from the other side of the arena, passed through the ice wall and saw Yu Chenyu fly out in front of her. When she saw Wang Nan's gaze fall on her, she had no choice but to admit defeat.

The ice wall dissipated, and Xixi, now alone, stopped struggling, nodded to Wang Nan, and jumped off the stage.

"Wang Nan's team wins!" As soon as the examiner finished speaking, several teachers in charge of treatment rushed into the arena and carried Yu Chenyu out.

In just a few minutes, they defeated the championship favorite team, which possessed a Soul Master. A discussion immediately arose around the arena, with some expressing doubt, some surprise, and most of all admiration for Wang Nan's team.

Of course, this match may seem short, but the real competition actually started yesterday. After the elimination rounds of the previous two days, some outstanding teams have already spread among the freshmen, and it doesn't take long to find out how these teams performed in the assessment.

As the core of the team, Yu Chenyu possesses the top-tier martial soul Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and the cultivation of a Soul Master. Therefore, in every previous match, he went straight for the kill, crushing his opponents with his own strength and securing victory.

This gave Wang Nan an opportunity. During the pre-match announcement phase, he deliberately feigned weakness to lure the enemy deeper into the fray. At the crucial moment, he used Gongyang Mo's martial soul characteristics to create obstacles together with Ling Luochen, creating an opportunity to attack while cutting off the opponent's support. Then, he seized this momentary opportunity to work together to defeat Yu Chenyu. Even if he couldn't defeat the enemy in one blow, he would have gained a huge advantage in the subsequent battle.

Sun He had taught Wang Nan how to learn about the opponent in advance, set traps during the battle, lure in ambushes, and outnumber the opponent. Wang Nan used all of these techniques in the competition. Although he only used them superficially, they were enough to deal with eleven or twelve-year-old children.

The remaining matches in the morning were much easier. Although almost all the teams that made it to the knockout stage were seeded teams, there were still differences between the seeded teams. Wang Nan and his two companions crushed their way through with their advantage in soul power level and made it to the finals.

It's worth mentioning that after their first match, almost every arena saw players announcing their names and soul power levels upon entering. However, almost none of the announced soul power levels matched. Thus, it was common to see level 21 soul power players chasing level 29 soul power players all over the arena, and support-type players dominating offensive-type players.

Instead of stopping it, the academy added a new rule requiring participants to report their soul power levels before the competition. After all, judging the opponent's martial soul bias and soul power level in time during the battle is also part of the battle, and it's good to start cultivating this from the freshmen.

……

The final was scheduled for the afternoon, and since there was only one match in the afternoon, it gave Wang Nan plenty of time to rest. On his way back to the dormitory, Mu En, who had been sitting downstairs, suddenly spoke up.

"The first game this morning went well."

Wang Nan was taken aback when he heard this.

Having a level 99 Limit Douluo right beside him would be a lie to say he had absolutely no thoughts. What if he could get a word or two of guidance from Mu En? Although Mu En was a transmigrator, he hadn't cultivated in his previous life, so receiving guidance from a Limit Douluo would be of great help to him.

However, he wasn't particularly attentive; he would simply greet Mu En when he saw him, and Mu En would always respond with a kind smile or say hello several times.

This is the first time I've taken the initiative to speak up like I did today.

"Thank you, it's alright." Wang Nan said modestly.

"Hmm, did you figure out that last move on your own, or was it taught to you by someone?" Moon asked.

"The last move?" Wang Nan thought for a moment. Mu En was definitely not asking about the soul skill, but rather the tail swing that knocked Yu Chenyu out of the arena. "It was learned from a soul beast."

Moon's eyes lit up slightly.

"You found a way to use soul power and spiritual power together just by observing soul beasts?"

Wang Nan knew that Mu En possessed a unique skill that combined spiritual power and soul power. It seemed that the skill he had learned from the soul beast was similar to his unique skill, which was why he had taken the initiative to ask.

Wang Nan's process of learning skills from soul beasts involved some trickery, but he certainly couldn't reveal the truth, so he shamelessly admitted it.

"Okay, okay." Moon nodded with a smile, then looked Wang Nan over carefully again. "It's alright now. You should prepare well for the match this afternoon."

"Huh?" Wang Nan asked, somewhat puzzled, "That's it?"

Although he had doubts, Wang Nan didn't necessarily need to get anything. He said goodbye and turned to leave.

Watching Wang Nan's retreating figure, Mu En nodded again.

"Outstanding talent, excellent character; it seems I'll have to send Shao Zhe on the trip." Thinking this, Mu En sighed silently again. "Alas, top-tier martial souls, reputation—even the younger generation of the clan are burdened by these things."
