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

Chapter 114 The Dragon Appears in the Field

It's raining?

Some viewers subconsciously looked up at the sky and realized that, without them noticing, dark clouds had suddenly appeared in the once clear sky, with occasional drops of rain falling.

A breeze swept across the arena, causing Wang Nan's clothes to flutter slightly.

Jiang Peng, who was on the arena, felt it most clearly. After the Heaven-Shaking Axe and the Dragon-Coiling Staff clashed, the connection between them suddenly became weak, and the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) seemed to be subtly repelling him.

Even Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao couldn't help but look up at the sky from the top of the imperial city.

"It seems Shrek Academy has nurtured an extraordinary disciple!"

The clouds gradually lowered, obscuring the sun's rays. The surrounding audience noticed that the air seemed to have become more humid, while the Soul Masters were more focused on the surging elemental energy of heaven and earth around them.

"Boom—"

The thunder seemed to awaken the entire sky. Subsequently, several more thunderclaps echoed in the clouds, and streaks of golden lightning danced among the clouds, making the arena flicker with light. In the Shrek rest area, Wang Yan's expression suddenly changed.

"This is... territory!"

Wang Yan looked at Wang Nan on the arena with some disbelief.

Moreover, the other Shrek members all understood the significance of the word "domain" and looked up at the arena.

At this moment, Wang Nan was standing in mid-air, the strong wind blowing around him making his clothes flutter. The golden dragon staff was particularly conspicuous under the dark sky, and it seemed as if the whole world revolved around him.

Beside him, his sixth spirit ring was shining with a dark golden light.

Sixth Soul Skill - Fish-Dragon Transformation.

Except in extremely special circumstances, only 100,000-year soul rings can provide a domain-type soul skill, and Wang Nan's sixth soul ring did not directly provide him with a domain-type soul skill either.

His sixth soul skill, Fish Dragon Transformation, has two stages. The first stage is called "Fish Leap." Every attack Wang Nan makes accumulates momentum for the next strike, making the next strike even more powerful.

The accumulation of his aura is related to his attacks; the heavier the attack, the faster the aura accumulates, and the greater the resulting boost. During previous training sessions with his teammates, this level of aura release was sufficient for him.

Today, Wang Nan is showing everyone the second stage of his sixth soul skill – Dragon Transformation.

Fish leap and compete, eventually transforming into dragons.

When his momentum accumulates to a certain level, the second stage will follow. Just like that golden carp of Li'e, constantly leaping high, it will eventually usher in the opportunity to transform into a dragon.

When a true dragon travels, it is always accompanied by clouds and rain.

Dark clouds pressed down on everyone's hearts. Amid thunder and lightning, a golden figure soared through the sky, announcing his arrival to the whole world.

Far from Xingluo Square, a disheveled old man was half-lying on a rooftop, looking in the direction of Xingluo Square while taking a big gulp of wine.

But the next moment, he spat out a mouthful of wine. He hurriedly stood up, and beneath his disheveled hair, his eyes gleamed with an earthy yellow light. Soon, he slapped his thigh and burst into laughter, "What a true dragon!"

Wang Nan slowly walked up to Jiang Peng, looking down at him like a monarch over the entire world.

"I surrender." Jiang Peng uttered two words and slowly closed his eyes, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

Only then did the wind and rain gradually subside, but the dark cloud would not dissipate anytime soon.

Huang Jinxu arrived through the air, and his expression changed slightly as he looked at Wang Nan.

He took a deep breath, and his voice carried throughout the entire Star Luo Square through his soul power.

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament has now concluded. The ultimate champion is the Shrek Academy team!"

The cheers reached their peak at this moment. In the front row of the audience, Wang Xing and his wife linked arms, but their eyes never left the ring for a moment.

The cannons that had been prepared on the city walls of the imperial city fired one by one, their roar echoing throughout the entire Star Luo City along with the cheers of the audience.

"Considering the overcrowding in Xingluo City, the awards ceremony will not be open to the public." Huang Jinxu approached Wang Nan. "I would like to invite everyone from Shrek Academy to join me in the Imperial City for a chat."

Wang Nan nodded and led the rest of the Shrek academy students into the imperial city with Huang Jinxu.

Here, the scene was completely different. After passing through the city wall, a wide road came into view. Soldiers in armor stood neatly on both sides of the road, and various trees were planted on both sides. Just by passing by, one could feel that the soul power consumed in the battle had been replenished.

At the end of the avenue stands a magnificent palace, covered with golden glazed tiles. The main gate is carved with golden patterns that resemble stars in the night sky, faintly forming the shape of a crown.

Inside the palace, Xu Jiawei was already waiting.

"Congratulations, everyone from Shrek Academy."

"Your Majesty." Everyone bowed in greeting, except for Dai Yueheng, who knelt on one knee.

Shrek Academy disciples naturally didn't need to perform grand courtesies when meeting the Star Luo Emperor, even Wang Nan, who was also a citizen of the Star Luo Empire, was treated the same. However, Dai Yueheng, besides being a disciple of Shrek Academy, also held a position in the military, so he naturally had to perform the courtesies due to a subject to a ruler.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. I've watched all your matches, and as always, Shrek Academy truly lives up to its reputation as the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent."

"Your Majesty is too kind," replied Wang Yan, the leader of the group.

"No need to be modest, the fact that you are standing here is the best proof." Xu Jiawei said, waving his sleeves, and five maids came up carrying golden trays.

"The last time the Soul Fighting Tournament was held in Star Luo City was twenty years ago. There were some accidents that almost caused a major disaster. Therefore, this year's awards ceremony will not be open to the public. We ask for your understanding."

"I dare not." For an emperor to say such a thing was already very polite, so Wang Yan quickly replied.

Wang Nan didn't think that was the whole reason; perhaps there was another reason why the award couldn't be made public.

"As is customary, the champion of the Soul Battle Tournament will receive three Soul Bones and one million Gold Soul Coins as a reward. This year is slightly different; our Star Luo Empire is also providing an additional reward, all of which are ready."

After he finished speaking, the five maids stepped forward, carrying the rewards that Xu Jiawei had mentioned on their trays.

Apart from Wang Nan, this was the first time the others had seen the ninth-level soul tool, the Conferred God Platform, containing the Snow Emperor's embryo.

Seeing that Xu Jiawei didn't seem inclined to explain, Wang Yan glanced back at Wang Nan, who nodded slightly, before turning his attention to the soul bone.
