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

Chapter 79 What was bound to happen has finally happened.

The actions of multiple inner court disciples acting together have both advantages and disadvantages.

On the bright side, the disciples walking on the outermost edge would rotate every so often, so Wang Nan wouldn't have to be constantly on edge.

However, the downsides are also obvious: there are thirteen disciples who need to acquire soul rings, which is not something that can be easily resolved in a day or two.

They searched for nearly a month in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, getting closer and closer to the most dangerous core area. However, three disciples, including Wang Nan, still had not found suitable spirit rings.

"Rest here for half an hour. Outer disciples, meditate to recover your soul power. The rest of you, stay alert." Seeing that it was past noon, Zhang Lexuan, who was walking at the front, gradually slowed down and called out to those behind her.

Wang Nan had already rotated to the inner side of the team. At this point, he hadn't expended much energy, so instead of sitting on the ground to meditate, he cautiously observed his surroundings.

Just then, a massive surge of spiritual energy spread from the south side of the Star Dou Great Forest throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

By the time it reached Wang Nan, the effect had weakened considerably, but it still stirred up waves in his spiritual sea.

Such immense spiritual power brings a power far exceeding that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Immediately afterward, the sky, which had been perfectly clear just moments before, suddenly darkened. A thunderous roar resounded high in the sky, and in that instant, the sunlight was completely obscured by darkness. An immense pressure descended from the heavens.

Even though they were on the northern side of the Star Dou Great Forest, Wang Nan and his group could see such a tremendous change in the sky. In Wang Nan's spiritual sea, the Heavenly Forge Floating Life Dragon held its head high, refusing to bow its head to such overwhelming power.

Wang Nan suddenly smelled the aroma of wine, and then a disheveled old man appeared out of nowhere.

The newcomer was Xuanzi. He was looking at the sky with a serious expression. He then said to Yan Shaozhe, "This power is definitely not released by an ordinary soul beast. Moreover, the strength of this soul beast is probably not just that of an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast."

"The appearance of a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest must have other reasons. You take the inner court disciples and evacuate the Star Dou Great Forest first. I will go and take a look."

As he spoke, a yellow light shone on Xuanzi, and he disappeared in the next instant.

Looking at the spot where Xuanzi disappeared, Wang Nan realized that Yan Shaozhe wasn't the only one leading the inner court disciples out to obtain soul rings; Xuanzi had actually been secretly protecting them all along.

"All disciples, cease resting, remain vigilant, and evacuate the Star Dou Great Forest!" An unexpected event had occurred within the Star Dou Great Forest, and Yan Shaozhe abandoned any thought of training the inner court disciples, immediately issuing these orders.

Before anyone could make a move, Wang Nan vaguely heard a dragon's roar resounding from the depths of the core area, followed by several terrifying auras fluctuating violently at the same time.

"Hurry up!"

Yan Shaozhe's tone became urgent. Even with the strength of a level 95 Super Douluo, his expression changed slightly after sensing the aura of so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

"Leave? I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Star Dou Great Forest!"

As the voice rang out, a three-headed, lion-like spirit beast slowly emerged from the forest.

It was none other than the Crimson King, the patriarch of the Crimson Demon Dog clan, ranked eighth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts of Douluo Continent.

"The Crimson King?" Yan Shaozhe frowned. "Our Shrek Academy has a treaty with you ferocious beasts. Are you going to break the treaty?"

"Put away with your human ways. We soul beasts don't go back on our word like you humans, but this time you broke the contract first."

Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe was also a little confused. "I only brought my disciple here to obtain a spirit ring, and I didn't take the initiative to fight. There shouldn't be any breach of contract, right?"

"Hmph, after you entered the Star Dou Great Forest, one of our forest's most precious treasures simply vanished without a trace. Could this not be the work of Shrek Academy?"

The three heads of the Crimson King simultaneously emitted a heavy nasal sound and exhaled six streams of hot air.

Yan Shaozhe knew that although these ferocious beasts were soul beasts, apart from being unreasonable at times, they were generally upright and honest in their actions, and would never do anything to frame someone. It was likely that a treasure had indeed been lost.

Could it be the incident that just happened?

"Red King, there seems to be some misunderstanding here."

"I don't want to hear your human sophistry. Whether you stole that treasure or not, it must remain in the Star Dou Great Forest first." With that, the Crimson King raised his head and howled. Instantly, more than a dozen Crimson Demon Hounds emerged from the forest and slowly surrounded them.

At a glance, their cultivation levels were all over ten thousand years.

Seeing the Crimson King charging towards him, Yan Shaozhe hurriedly raised his hand to protect himself. Taking advantage of the moment when he blocked the Crimson King's first attack, he turned around and shouted to Zhang Lexuan, "Lexuan, quickly lead the other disciples out of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Facing the approaching pack of Crimson Demon Hounds, Zhang Lexuan showed no mercy. A burst of light erupted behind her, and a crescent moon rose from behind. The next instant, she unleashed her Silver Moon True Form, and the intense silver-white light suddenly became dazzling, transforming the crescent moon into a full moon.

As the fifth spirit ring shone, the moon in the sky suddenly turned golden. In an instant, another crescent moon of the same size separated from the first moon and fell from the sky.

The golden moonlight sliced ​​the two Crimson Demon Hounds in half at the waist, instantly tearing a gap in the encirclement of the pack.

Zhang Lexuan's gaze swept across the entire field and spotted Wang Nan, who was in good form. "Wang Nan and Wu Ming provide cover, while the rest of you break through the gap I created."

Wang Nan knew this wasn't the time for politeness. His golden fourth spirit ring lit up, and the entire spirit ring seemed to come alive as it rotated around Wang Nan once. Under the golden light, a suit of golden armor appeared on Wang Nan's body.

It's no longer accurate to describe it as the Overlord Armor; what Wang Nan is wearing should be called the Golden Dragon Armor.

As soon as the golden dragon armor appeared, an invisible pressure spread outwards, causing all the surrounding red demon hounds to take a step back, their eyes revealing instinctive fear.

Then the first spirit ring lit up, and golden light suddenly appeared beneath Wang Nan's feet. He leaped several meters away in one step, raising the golden dragon staff high and landing on the back of the Crimson Demon Hound.

Seeing that Wang Nan's attack had been effective, and another Crimson Demon Hound had perished, the remaining inner court disciples began to retreat towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Leading the pack was a boy who had recently obtained his sixth spirit ring; he transformed into a bolt of lightning, constantly overtaking the other disciples as he rushed towards the forest's outskirts.
