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

Chapter 36 As if it were an extension of one's own arm

True mastery, besides being actively used, involves simply holding the weapon in one's hand, allowing the body to initially merge with the weapon, thereby enhancing the strength, quality, and power of ordinary weapons through the Soul Master's powerful physique and soul power.

Moreover, this effect is bidirectional; the weapon will also provide a certain boost to the Soul Master, but the difference between the two is so great that most Soul Masters cannot perceive it.

But weapon spirits are different. As Wang Nan's weapon spirit, the Panlong Staff inherently contains astonishing power. Through the effect of the spirit bone, the Panlong Staff weapon spirit is strengthened, and it also continuously enhances Wang Nan's physique.

As we all know, martial souls in Douluo Continent are divided into beast martial souls and weapon martial souls. When using a beast martial soul, the power of the "beast" within the martial soul is added to the user, which is called martial soul possession. Affected by the martial soul, the physical strength of a beast soul master is also extremely strong.

Since weapon spirits function outside the body, weapon spirit masters cannot be enhanced by their spirits.

However, through the "like an arm or finger" ability in the soul bone, Wang Nan's body can be fused with the Panlong Staff. Just like a beast soul master, the power of the Panlong Staff will continuously affect Wang Nan's physique.

Moreover, as Wang Nan's martial soul, the Panlong Staff and the weapon are inherently connected in terms of soul power. This fusion is not merely the initial fusion between a soul master and an ordinary weapon.

Fortunately, the previous owner of this soul bone was not a weapon spirit master; otherwise, if he had understood the true power of this soul bone, its price would have been much higher than one million gold soul coins.

Soul power surged back and forth between Wang Nan and the Panlong Staff. The fusion of his right arm bone was completely completed, but Wang Nan did not regain consciousness.

At this moment, Wang Nan was still in that mountain forest, with the monkey-eating eagle rushing towards him.

Wang Nan was conscious, but his body was still out of his control and started moving on its own.

Just like watching a movie from a first-person perspective, Wang Nan watched as "his own" body picked up a tree branch and fought against the eagle-eating monkey. After easily winning, he went into the forest, wandering among the branches, picking various fruits. When he had free time, he would hold up the tree branch and study some stick techniques.

"Xiao Nan, it's time for class."

In the early morning, Gongyang Mo woke up to find that Wang Nan, who was usually punctual, was still in meditation, with the Panlong Staff lying horizontally in his hands, and a dark light covering his whole body.

Gongyang Mo's eyes widened, then he tiptoed out of the dormitory and quickly ran towards the classroom.

Downstairs in the dormitory building, Moon was still sitting in a recliner, his eyes sweeping across the dormitory building, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

A few minutes later, Sun He and Gongyang Mo arrived at the dormitory and saw Wang Nan meditating.

At this moment, the light emanating from his body intensified, and the dark flowing light almost formed a cocoon of light, enveloping him within it.

"What did he do yesterday?" Sun He asked quietly, lowering his voice.

"After leaving the Soul Arena yesterday, he went to the Treasure Pavilion and brought back a soul bone." As his roommate, Wang Nan's actions naturally did not escape Gongyang Mo's notice, but Gongyang Mo did not know what kind of soul bone it was.

Sun He nodded slightly. "It seems that he has been influenced by the soul bone, which has put him into a deep meditation. This is a rare opportunity for him. Do not disturb him."

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and time passes day by day. No one expected that a month would pass and Wang Nan would still be sitting on the bed.

Fearing that it would affect Wang Nan, Gongyang Mo has temporarily moved to another place, leaving only Wang Nan in the dormitory.

At this moment, the light emanating from his body had completely subsided, but the aura he exuded was becoming increasingly astonishing. Behind him, it seemed as if a mountain was rising higher and higher, and just one glance was enough to feel an immense pressure bearing down on him.

The golden tree branch that Wang Nan carried close to his chest emitted a golden light, and a power full of light and life force continuously flowed into his body, which prevented his body from collapsing even though he had not eaten or drunk anything for a whole month.

The dormitory door opened, and Xuanzi walked in silently, followed by Sun He.

"Elder Xuan, what do you think of his condition?"

"It's alright, this is a good thing. The longer the deep meditation lasts, the more benefits you will receive. In Shrek Academy's records, all the Soul Masters who meditated deeply for more than a month, like him, eventually became powerful figures whose names resounded throughout the continent."

"What about this Soul Fighting Tournament?"

"As a prospective disciple, how could the gains from the Soul Battle Tournament compare to deep meditation? He doesn't need to participate in this tournament; his arena will be five years from now." Xuanzi led Sun He out of the dormitory, gently closing the door behind them.

"I'm taking the other disciples to the competition first. Take good care of him." With that, he sauntered away from the dormitory area.

Sun He peeked at Wang Nan through the crack in the door and a smile appeared on his face.

……

After an unknown amount of time, a dragon's roar suddenly echoed through the bustling forest, and the sun in the sky grew larger and larger, with what appeared to be a slender shadow constantly moving within it.

The other animals fell silent, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Wang Nan suddenly stopped moving. His experiences in the mountains and forests during this time kept churning in his mind, as if many things were quietly changing in the shadows.

He found that he seemed to be able to control his body.

Wang Nan looked around. The trees around him slowly disappeared, the sound of waves came from afar, and a white sun shone overhead, emitting a gentle light.

He took a few steps forward, but found that the "sun" in front of him seemed somewhat familiar. On a sudden impulse, his body took to the air.

Beneath my feet lay a vast ocean, and beyond that, an endless expanse of white stretched as far as the eye could see.

He didn't know when, but his consciousness had returned to the sea of ​​spirit.

Above them was a ball of light like the sun, and below them was a lake symbolizing spiritual power—no, a shallow sea symbolizing spiritual power. Although the boundaries could still be felt, describing it as a lake was no longer quite appropriate.

A small island appeared in the center, which was the spot where Wang Nan had been standing.

"I'm back?"

Wang Nan tried to mobilize his mental energy, and sure enough, the seawater beneath his feet began to surge and churn according to his thoughts.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar dormitory.

The person sitting on the opposite bed was no longer Gongyang Mo, but an old man with white hair and beard. Behind him, a huge tree of life floated in the air, and rich life force was constantly surging into Wang Nan's body.

"You're awake." Seeing Wang Nan wake up, the old man opposite him also opened his eyes. "My surname is Zhuang, you can just call me Old Zhuang."

"Elder Zhuang," Wang Nan paused before speaking slowly.

"It's alright. You just woke up. Although my power has given you life and your body is unharmed, it's normal to feel a little unaccustomed after not moving for three months."

Three months, nothing's been done?

Thank you for the monthly pass support from "一纸轻狂".
