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

Chapter 44 The Legend of the Dragon

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Seeing the changes in Wang Nan, Wang Xing repeatedly praised him.

Wang Nan withdrew his soul power, and the dark gold armor on his body transformed back into a soul ring, but the giant dragon on the Panlong Staff still clung to it.

"This..." Wang Nan asked in confusion, looking at his martial spirit.

Following Wang Nan's gaze, Wang Xing was first startled, then his astonishment turned into ecstatic joy.

"Hahaha." Wang Xing laughed loudly, patted Wang Nan on the shoulder, "Let's go home first, I'll tell you a legend about dragons on the way."

"Do you know why our martial spirit is called the Panlong Staff?" Wang Xing asked Wang Nan as they walked.

"Is it because of the dragon-like patterns on it?"

"No, there are many things that resemble dragons, but not all of them can be called 'dragons.' Our martial spirit is called the Coiling Dragon Staff because it is truly possible to awaken a real dragon from within it."

"What?" Wang Nan was taken aback. His knowledge of the Panlong Staff was limited to Wang Yan from his past life, and he had never heard anyone mention that the Panlong Staff had such a secret.

A hint of nostalgia appeared in Wang Xing's eyes. "That's what your grandfather told me. Actually, before I saw your martial spirit undergo such a change, I always thought of it as a legend."

"The origin of our Panlong Staff martial spirit is unknown, but it is rumored that our ancestors also produced a Super Douluo. Their martial spirit was entwined with a real dragon."

"Legend has it that if the owner of the Panlong Staff martial spirit has a righteous heart and a fearless heart, he can awaken the true power of the Panlong Staff, and the patterns on it will no longer be dragon patterns, but a real dragon."

"It's a pity that we, the younger generation, are not up to par. Apart from the legends of our ancestors, no one has ever awakened the true Panlong Staff."

"I never imagined that one day the legend would become a reality, and that this person would be my child." Wang Xing said, his voice trembling with emotion.

"Without a doubt, Nan'er, you are the legendary person with a heart of justice and fearlessness, and the martial spirit you possess is the true Panlong Staff."

Is this the real Panlong Staff?

Wang Nan raised his Martial Soul and looked at the lifelike dragon on the Panlong Staff. The ball of light in his spiritual sea flickered slightly, and the dragon seemed to come alive as it slowly swam around. Its head came to Wang Nan and their eyes met.

Wang Nan suddenly felt a strange sense of self-doubt.

"So this really is my talent."

……

After obtaining his fourth spirit ring, the holiday quickly came to an end, and Wang Nan returned to the gate of Shrek Academy.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Wang!"

Several young men and women were standing at the school gate. One of the girls saw Wang Nan and excitedly called out to him.

"Hello." Wang Nan hadn't expected anyone to greet him so suddenly. After a slight pause, he said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The girl just shook her head vigorously.

Wang Nan was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he continued walking into the academy.

What Wang Nan didn't know was that the fact that a third-year student had been meditating deeply for three consecutive months was no longer a secret. It's just that most people didn't know who that student was.

The person who just spoke was well-informed and knew that Wang Nan was the person involved. However, she did not publicize it. She just greeted Wang Nan excitedly when she saw him.

Wang Nan continued walking into the academy, and the light cluster in his spiritual sea suddenly flickered slightly.

Wang Nan frowned, stopped, and looked around. The previous times the orb of light had changed like this, it was after encountering evil spirit masters. But this was Shrek Academy, surrounded by students and teachers. Where was there any sign of an evil spirit master?

Soon, he turned his attention to the direction of new student registration.

If there really are evil spirit masters, they should be mixed in with these new students.

However, there were no suspicious people there. The most eye-catching person was a girl with a black ponytail, who was arguing with the teacher in charge of new student registration.

"Although you meet Shrek Academy's admission standards, you cannot enroll without a letter of recommendation."

"I am a disciple of the Tang Sect, so I should be entitled to a spot at Shrek Academy without taking the entrance exam!"

The teacher in charge of new student registration smiled and said, "This student, I don't know where you heard this news from. Shrek Academy did indeed give Tang Sect a spot without taking the entrance exam, but Tang Sect no longer exists."

"The Tang Sect still exists! My name is Tang Ya, and I am the Sect Master of the Tang Sect!"

"Young lady, stop joking. Since the Tang Sect gradually declined, there have been quite a few people impersonating Tang Sect disciples to come to Shrek Academy every year. You should at least have something to prove your identity as a Tang Sect disciple."

"Is this Tang Ya?" Wang Nan remembered that Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass martial soul did indeed seem to be impure.

Tang Ya's attention was still on the teacher in charge of registration. Hearing his words, she reached out to take out the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, which recorded the secret techniques of the Tang Clan, but then withdrew her hand after thinking for a moment. She then stretched out her hands, and several of her fingers had turned pale blue.

"This is the Tang Clan's ultimate martial art, the Mysterious Jade Hand."

Since this teacher is in charge of registration here, he must have exceptional knowledge. He recognized at a glance that this was a genuine Xuan Yu Hand.

"Please wait a moment." After saying this, the teacher in charge of registration looked up at the other new students queuing behind her. "New students queuing here, please go to another teacher's line and start queuing again. Registration here is temporarily suspended."

After saying that, he hurriedly left with Tang Ya.

"Hey, senior, what's going on up there? Why do we have to queue again?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Nan turned around and saw a boy of about ten years old standing behind him. He was quite handsome, but his eyes were very restless, constantly glancing at the girls. He wasn't wearing a school uniform, so he was probably a new student this year.

"You're calling someone 'senior brother' before you've even registered?" Wang Nan laughed. "Also, the academy encourages students to fight each other. If you keep watching like this, those girls might drag you to the Soul Fighting Zone."

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately became obedient, but he didn't admit any wrongdoing. "I was just watching, it's not that serious. Besides, even if I went to that Soul Fighting Zone, I wouldn't necessarily lose to them."

The other people around who came to Shrek Academy to register were all somewhat uneasy and apprehensive. The fact that this child could be so relaxed meant that he must either be extremely slow-witted or truly have some talent.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xu Sanshi. Hehe, senior brother, I'm going to register now. We'll meet in the academy later, and we'll chat in detail then."

Xu Sanshi gave Wang Nan a knowing look, and then, without waiting for Wang Nan's response, walked towards the registration area, his eyes wandering off somewhere else.

Wang Nan shook his head slightly, then walked towards the dormitory without lingering.
