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

Chapter 86 Dragon Transformation

After striking down, Zhang Lexuan leaped into the air and arrived beside Wang Nan. With her eight-ring Soul Douluo cultivation, she was already capable of flying.

"Junior brother, you don't really want that Dragon Transformation Technique, do you?"

Looking into Zhang Lexuan's earnest eyes, Wang Nan suddenly understood. No wonder Zhang Lexuan's final attack was so decisive; she was afraid he would be tempted by the dragon transformation technique that Long Li had mentioned.

"Of course not." Wang Nan looked at the dragon carp that had landed on the shore. Its whole body was stained red with blood, its mouth was wide open, and it was trying to breathe with difficulty, but to little avail. It was clear that it was about to die.

Golden light shone beneath Wang Nan's feet. He descended from the sky in a few steps, ending the dragon carp with a single blow, answering Zhang Lexuan's question with his actions.

Putting aside the fact that he doesn't need any dragon transformation technique at all, even if he did, he wouldn't use such an extreme method as this dragon carp. Wang Nan never considered himself a "good person," but he also couldn't bring himself to use the lives of other innocent people to achieve his own ends.

Once some things are started, there's no going back.

Seeing Wang Nan act so decisively, Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know Wang Nan's specific situation, otherwise she wouldn't have been so nervous.

"The spirit rings generated by spirit beasts don't last long. Now that you've killed it, absorb the spirit ring here. I'll protect you."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Wang Nan sat cross-legged, holding the Panlong Staff horizontally in his hand. A dragon shadow emerged from the staff, opening its mouth to swallow the black soul ring that had just appeared.

As Tianye Fushenglong moved, a golden carp slowly appeared in the ocean below Wang Nan's spiritual sea. Its body was long and slender, its pectoral fins flapped gently like a pair of semi-transparent wings, and its tail swayed, propelling it to swim in the ocean of spiritual energy.

Its body was a mix of gold and silver, and its head was small and round, with only a small black mark on its forehead, like a scar.

Li'e Golden Carp, that is its real name.

Wang Nan's consciousness entered the Sea of ​​Spirit. The golden carp before him ignored him completely, as if he didn't exist in its eyes at all, simply swimming freely in the ocean of spiritual energy. He opened his mouth slightly, gathering all his strength, and leaped upwards.

Wang Nan found it hard to reconcile the golden carp before him with the twisted and ugly image outside. If he hadn't been connected to Tianye Fushenglong and known that this was the consciousness within that soul ring, he would have suspected that Tianye Fushenglong had grabbed the wrong target.

Watching the golden carp of Li'e leap up and fall back into the sea, splashing up waves, Wang Nan seemed to understand something.

Perhaps this soul beast only had one goal, but the outside world only obtained the wrong method, which made its personality weak and its appearance ugly.

The Li'e Golden Carp in the Sea of ​​Spirits, perhaps influenced by the Tianye Floating Dragon, found another way to transform into a dragon from Wang Nan's memories.

However, this path will be much more difficult.

It's unclear how much time has passed, but the figure of the golden carp has gradually become transparent. Yet it still hasn't given up, repeating the same actions over and over again.

With a thought, Wang Nan felt a surge of energy, and the Heavenly Floating Dragon in mid-air let out a long roar before unfurling its form and plunging into the ocean of spiritual power.

The next moment, just as the golden carp of Li'e leaped high into the air, a golden figure rose up alongside it.

Wang Nan raised his head and watched them leap upwards. The golden carp's figures gradually merged into the Heavenly Forge Floating Dragon, and two dragon roars, one in front and one behind, resounded loudly in Wang Nan's spiritual sea.

Outside, a massive amount of soul power surged into Wang Nan's body from his soul ring.

Even with Wang Nan's current physical strength, the soul ring of a 90,000-year-old soul beast caused him to let out a muffled groan as he instantly endured such powerful soul energy.

His entire body's meridians seemed to be swollen. A faint golden light flickered on Wang Nan's right arm, and the coiled dragon staff in his hand glowed, enveloping him, which made him feel a little better.

As his soul power continued to increase, Wang Nan felt something within his body shatter. In an instant, the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental power) gathered and surged into Wang Nan's body along with the soul power within his soul ring.

Level 61, Level 62—Wang Nan's soul power level continued to rise. When he absorbed the left leg bone of the Eclipse Moon Hound, his soul power level had hit a bottleneck, so it hadn't changed. Now, after obtaining his sixth soul ring, the soul power accumulated within him erupted.

Time continued to pass, and Wang Nan's soul power only stopped after he barely broke through level sixty-four.

The higher one's cultivation level, the longer it takes to advance each level of soul power. For a Soul Emperor, even a Soul Master with good talent would need several months to advance one level.

Wang Nan leveled up to level 64 simply by acquiring a soul ring, which is equivalent to a year of hard training for a Soul Emperor with good talent.

Zhang Lexuan was sitting not far in front of Wang Nan. She noticed that Wang Nan's breathing became shorter and knew that he was about to wake up from his meditation, so she got up and looked in her direction.

Sure enough, a moment later Wang Nan opened his eyes, and golden light shone from them.

Zhang Lexuan noticed that Wang Nan seemed a little dazed, and felt that something had changed about him.

How are you feeling?

"Thank you, Senior Sister. I feel great now." Wang Nan waved his right hand, and the Panlong Staff appeared in his hand. Six spirit rings rose one after another, with the sixth black spirit ring slowly pulsating around him.

"A sixteen-year-old Soul Emperor with six rings—only that girl Xiao Tao can probably compare to him in terms of talent," Zhang Lexuan thought to herself.

Wang Nan looked around and saw that the dragon carp's corpse had disappeared, probably put away by Zhang Lexuan.

"Senior sister, if there's nothing else, let's head back now."

"Okay." Zhang Lexuan nodded.

Wang Nan took out his flying soul tool and attached it to his body, then glanced back at the boundless ocean. It was morning, the sea was calm, and the sun was slowly rising at the horizon.

After obtaining his sixth spirit ring, the sensation in his sea of ​​consciousness became even more pronounced. Wang Nan knew that something awaited him deep within that sea.

But now is not the time to search for it. He currently lacks both reliable means of sailing and the strength to deal with most sea spirit beasts; setting sail now would mean certain death.

"If the person you're looking for really is me, then please wait a little while."

A sea breeze seemed to be blowing across the sea, carrying waves that gently lapped against the shore, making a sound as if someone was sighing softly, or perhaps as if the sea was responding to Wang Nan.
